Infernal Artist

"You consumed three nightmare cards and activated the 'Spirit of the Worlds'."

"Explanation: The sequence will provide specific phase rituals so that you can see world-level spirits."

"Special note: The residence of the world spirit is the inner world. Please be fully prepared before entering it."

"Also: Meeting world-level spirits is an extremely dangerous thing. You must clearly understand this."

All the small words floated in mid-air without moving.

Liu Ping was a little surprised.

It is a very rare occurrence that the sequence reminds you of the danger twice in a row.

"It seems we can't take it lightly..."

Liu Ping murmured.

Four figures flew from the wilderness and landed in front of him.

Wang Chonggong, Lao Lei, Stone Man, and a strange beast-faced man.

Liu Ping collected his thoughts and said, "Everyone, please introduce each other."

"I am Wang Chonggong, the first subordinate you have accepted."

"Lei Meng, you can just call me Lao Lei."

"I don't have a name, but you can call me Shi Jian."

"Sounding Fang, Lord of the Orcs."

Liu Ping nodded and said: "Now that the four-party struggle has ended, I guess there will be new news for us from the Nightmare Underground Palace soon."

A strong wind blew.

Deep in the gray sky, a piece of paper flew down and circled around Liu Ping.

Liu Ping caught the note.

I saw a few lines of small scrawled words written on it:

"Congratulations, winner!"

"You get a bonus: immunity from sinking."

"At the end of the day, you won't sink underground for anything and become nourishment for the underground palace."

"You have an hour's rest."

"An even more exciting and interesting battle is waiting for you in an hour."

Liu Ping finished reading quickly and said to the people below:

"Go and have a rest. I'll call you in an hour."

"Yes, sir." The four strong men said in unison.

Liu Ping flew across the sky and returned to the small town where he was originally.

He walked into the bar and poured himself a drink.

Drink it all in one gulp.

Bang!

The wine glass was placed back on the bar.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, and there was something inexplicable in his expression.

suddenly.

A childish voice sounded:

"It's not a good habit to just drink when you're in danger."

Liu Ping looked down.

He saw the baby girl in his arms, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes.

"Are you awake?" Liu Ping said.

"The extremely dangerous fate keeps surging, entangled, and echoing in you, which makes it impossible for me to sleep peacefully - I have to wake up temporarily and warn you again, no matter where you go, don't leave me behind, otherwise I will definitely die." Baby Girl said.

"Can't I put you in a safe place first when something extremely dangerous happens?" Liu Ping asked.

"No." said the baby girl.

"Okay, I discovered something... it may indeed be dangerous, but I have to see what happens." Liu Ping said.

"Is it something important?" the baby girl asked.

"Yes, I have some premonitions in my heart, I don't know how to put it - I haven't been affected by emotions for a long time, but at this moment, when I think about meeting a world-class spirit, I feel mixed emotions in my heart." Liu Ping said.

"The card game." The baby girl said suddenly.

"What?" Liu Ping asked confused.

"I don't know, I just felt the word and said it," said the baby girl.

She yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Liu Ping sighed.

He poured himself another glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, then closed his eyes and adjusted his breath silently.

A few breaths have passed.

"Let's begin, sequence," he said.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in the void:

“It’s resonating around the world.”

"Resonance successful!"

"Adjust the soul frequency waves so that you can interact with the inner world of the nightmare underground palace."

"success!"

"The door to the other world has been opened!"

"You can enter it at any time, but be careful!"

Liu Ping opened his eyes, thought for a while, and pulled out four cards.

Wang Zhonggong, Lao Lei, Shi Jian and Xiang Ya are all on their respective cards and taking a rest.

suddenly.

A line of burning small words jumped out:

"Your followers cannot bear the secrets of the other world. Once they appear in the other world, they will die immediately and their souls will be completely eliminated."

"So you can't use these minion cards."

Liu Ping shook his head and stood up from his seat.

An inexplicable feeling came to his mind, causing him to look in a certain direction behind the bar involuntarily.

——Something is calling me.

Liu Ping left the bar, walked to the back door of the bar, and opened the door.

It was dark outside the door.

There was only a step extending downwards beneath his feet.

Liu Ping held the baby girl tightly and walked step by step into the darkness along the steps.

soon.

All the light on the ground disappeared.

He walked all the way down in the darkness, the surroundings were silent, and only his gentle footsteps could be heard.

We walked like this for about two minutes.

The stairs come to an end.

Liu Ping found himself standing in an empty building.

The floor was covered with old, gray carpet.

Above the head were chandeliers one after another, each one emitting an extremely dim light.

There was dead silence in the long corridor.

There are many statues standing on both sides of the corridor, carving a kind of human-like existence.

"civilization……"

Liu Ping murmured.

These statues are lifelike and have realistic expressions, as if they are alive.

Liu Ping stepped forward and walked slowly along the corridor.

The doors to the rooms on both sides of the corridor were tightly closed.

He tried to open one, but saw that the room was empty except for a window that could see the outside scene.

——Outside is an endless, rising and surging mist, making it impossible to see what else exists.

Liu Ping retreated to the corridor and continued walking forward.

Sand...sand...sand...

He walked through the corridor and came to a study room.

I saw two people standing in the study.

——Like the statues, these two people only differ from humans in some subtle ways. For example, their legs are longer than humans, their bodies are taller, and they have no ears.

The two men stood in the middle of the study, looking dull and motionless.

"Hello." Liu Ping tried to say hello.

The two didn't respond or make any move.

Suddenly, a line of small words popped up above their heads:

"The evil nature is transforming."

--What does it mean?

The sequence was not explained further, but Liu Ping seemed to feel something suffocating.

Liu Ping calmed down and walked towards the bookshelf next to the sofa.

He saw rows of stone books on the bookshelf, but these books were all written in an unknown script.

Liu Ping was about to study the words carefully when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He looked back sharply.

I saw that the two people were no longer where they were.

At some point, they moved to a place about five meters behind him, staring at him expressionlessly.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Ping asked.

The two men remained motionless.

Liu Ping pretended to look at the books on the bookshelf, suddenly pulled out the Baina knife, turned around and pointed——

I saw the two people approaching me again, standing more than one meter away from me, maintaining their original movements, motionless.

They are almost on the edge of the knife.

Liu Ping said: "Are you going to play games with me?"

suddenly.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling window of the study room, a huge human face quietly appeared, staring at Liu Ping expressionlessly.

Liu Ping glanced at that person's face.

Two lines of small words appeared above the face:

"The evil transformation is in progress (will be completed soon)."

"Note: With your strength, you cannot resist its erosion."

——I obviously came to see a world-class spirit, but I met such a monster.

Liu Ping stepped back step by step.

The two people in the study and the huge human face outside the window stared at him motionless.

Liu Ping walked into another corridor, gently closed the study door, and then continued walking forward.

He suddenly stood still and sighed: "I guess the spirits here don't welcome me."

I saw several people standing upside down on the ceiling of the corridor.

These people were also motionless, with dull expressions, as if they didn't notice Liu Ping's arrival at all.

Liu Ping took a few steps, suddenly dodged and retreated to a corner.

On the way he came, the door of the study room had been opened, and the two men appeared where he originally stood. Their hands turned into sharp gray thorns, and they were making thrusting movements.

Outside the window on one side.

The huge human face was pressed against the window, staring at Liu Ping expressionlessly.

Liu Ping watched this scene silently.

suddenly.

The fog outside the other window parted, revealing the scene outside.

Liu Ping saw countless people.

Those people all knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly.

Looking around, the whole world seems to be filled with people kneeling on the ground in a posture of prayer——

But their bodies seemed to have been eroded by something, leaving only incomplete shells.

Liu Ping's breath paused.

In a daze, an extremely distant picture appeared in my mind.

It was a world about to be completely destroyed.

Own--

There were many people standing around him.

Someone whispered: "You will find us, won't you?"

"Yes." He said aloud.

The screen flashed away.

Liu Ping took a big breath to calm himself down and said in a low voice:

"It seems we have to deal with you first."

Just as he was about to take action, there was a sudden movement in his arms.

At some point, the baby girl woke up.

She stretched out her pink little hand and gently held Liu Ping's index finger.

A transparent silk thread was wrapped around Liu Ping's index finger.

This silk thread becomes thicker and thicker at a speed visible to the naked eye, and becomes more and more flexible.

It continued to spread until it wrapped around the entire palm.

"Destiny is the most elusive force among all the strange things. Anyone who wants to control fate will definitely be played by fate. This is the most basic law of cause and effect."

The baby girl's voice sounded.

With a tired look on her face, she continued: "I interfered with fate and wanted you to die."

The thread began to spread rapidly and was about to wrap around Liu Ping's arm.

"Because of my interference, fate will not let you fall into a certain death situation. It will start to fluctuate in the opposite direction. It will find a ray of hope for you -"

"Go ahead."

"Before my threads completely wrap around you, you have to see that spirit, otherwise everything will be in vain."
