Infernal Artist

A bloody skeleton stood in the darkness.

——Liu Ping.

He put on the Nightmare Embrace, and now he has turned into a skeleton, with bloody bones all over his body, no longer a human body.

Dark and vast.

The feeling of extreme danger gradually faded, but it still lingered in my heart.

Across the wall of flesh and blood——

Liu Ping could still feel the movement outside.

Outside this "giant tree" made of human bodies, something extremely dangerous must be coming.

It's looking for itself!

Liu Ping - or rather the bloody skeleton, walked towards the depths of darkness.

It took about dozens of breaths.

The bloody skeleton suddenly stopped and looked down at his feet.

——There is no road under my feet.

The place where I stood seemed to be a cliff.

In the darkness beyond the cliff, the fog continued to flow at an extremely fast speed, like a vast long river, obscuring everything.

The infinite, chaotic, and violent power whizzes away in the fog, making people fearful.

A few lines of burning small words jumped out:

"Notice!"

"This place is a hidden place where all power is prohibited."

"You have to get some kind of recognition before you can continue to explore and have a certain chance to use your own power."

Collect all the fine print.

The bloody skeleton seemed to feel something, and slowly turned his head to look at the wall not far away from him.

I saw a squirming movement on the wall.

A woman squeezed out of the wall made of human bodies, holding a burning torch and silently looking towards the skeleton.

Her face was covered with blood and her expression was ferocious, but she held the torch in her hand high.

Within the range illuminated by the torch, all the fog disappeared.

——This torch is the key to passing the cliff!

The bloody skeleton walked over, stopped in front of the woman, and said, "Please lend me the torch."

The woman didn't move, but tears of blood welled up in her eyes.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock.

Blood and tears kept dripping, and the torch still burned.

The woman held the torch in her arms, still staring at Liu Ping, and the ferocious expression on her face became more and more vivid.

In the darkness, within the range illuminated by the firelight, the humans on the walls turned their heads and stared at the bloody skeleton.

The bloody skeleton looked around and whispered: "Wraith Spirit... No, it is more advanced than Wraith Spirit..."

It took a few steps forward again and hugged the woman gently.

A nice and gentle voice then sounded:

"Listen up, I am Liu Ping, the master of demons in the world. Although I don't know what you have been through, don't worry, as long as you are willing to help me, I will also help you, and I will never regret my words."

The woman made a hoarse voice: "Really..."

The bloody skeleton said: "I am proficient in the law of life and death. I can tell at a glance that you must have experienced a lot of suffering and a lot of grievances. Even after death, you still have to use your body to build this tree. You must have something that you must complete."

The woman choked and said: "Humanity...humanity...there is no way to go..."

Under the light of the fire, the whole world turned silent.

On the wall, countless eyes gathered, all looking at the woman.

People looked at the crying woman and were silent.

The bloody skeleton hugged the woman tightly and his voice became gentler: "It's okay. I'm here just to find a way. I hope you give me this chance."

"Your...last soul..." the woman looked at him and said.

"Yes, I seem to have died countless times. This is the last reincarnation, but what does it matter? After all, someone has to find a way-"

The bloody skeleton gently stroked the woman's hair and said softly: "I don't care about death."

The ferocious look on the woman's face disappeared.

She wiped the bloody tears from the corners of her eyes, stretched out her hand, gently stroked the skull of the bloody skull, and pressed her fingers on the skull's brow bone.

The skeleton didn't move, just holding her.

On the surrounding walls, everyone was staring at the woman, as if waiting with bated breath.

suddenly.

The woman let go.

She raised the torch high and shouted towards the endless people on the wall:

"He comes for endless secrets and to defeat all the monsters that want to eat our souls and enslave us. Please help him, everyone!"

The sound spread far away in the darkness, with no end in sight.

The woman put the torch in the bloody skull's hand and whispered:

"Go...we...help you..."

The bloody skeleton took the torch from her hand, hugged her again, and then walked towards the cliff.

The firelight emanated from his hands, illuminating the surroundings, breaking through the fog, and seeing the scene beyond the cliff.

——It is an endless river of blood.

Incomparably violent power emanated from the blood river, so much so that even the void was distorted.

Various rules arise and die in the long river, producing unparalleled power.

"Ban all power, this will not be easy..."

Just as the bloody skeleton was thinking about it, he saw countless humans starting to move on the wall.

They climbed on top of each other and piled up, gradually forming a long suspended bridge that stretched from the edge of the cliff to the depths of the Blood River.

The power in the blood river became more and more violent, so that the humans groaned and roared in pain, as if they were suffering indescribable pain.

Near the bloody skull, someone said:

"Come on, walk over us."

The bloody skeleton cupped his fists and said, "Thank you very much."

"No need to thank you, you are not doing it for yourself, you are doing it for everyone." The man said.

The bloody skull is no longer polite.

He jumped onto the suspended bridge and ran forward quickly.

Although he cannot use power, his basic running speed can still be guaranteed.

But under the light of the fire, a deep red color flew across the suspended bridge made of human bodies.

It ran towards the end of the blood river with all its strength.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The whole world could only hear endless groans of pain.

finally--

The bloody skeleton jumped high and jumped forward with all its strength from the end of the suspended bridge.

Boom!

It fell into another darkness.

The light from the torch spread out again, illuminating the surrounding area.

I saw that this was a square arena.

——In the depths of the boundless sea of ​​blood, there is actually a arena hidden!

The bloody skeleton raised the torch higher, looked around, and immediately saw the pillar erected in the center of the arena.

The entire pillar was carved with extremely complicated patterns. When the fire illuminated it, all the patterns seemed to come alive.

A majestic aura emanated from the pillars.

Liu Ping suddenly became confused.

Countless scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

"I remembered..."

He murmured softly, walked to the pillar, and thrust the torch upward.

Click!

Just hear a soft sound.

The torch was actually fixed directly to a hidden grid on the pillar.

Lines of burning small words jumped out instantly:

"You have arrived here and begun to activate the deep secrets hidden here."

"The secret here concerns everything about the human race, and even the entire void, purgatory, eternal night, and nightmare world."

"Your soul will not be able to bear the weight of this secret without any measures to protect it."

"You will die directly because you learn this secret."

In the void, there seemed to be countless beings coming from all directions——

Buzz!

The prison-suppressing knife let out a roar.

Liu Ping suddenly felt a certain kind of disregard——

The moment the Prison Suppressing Knife activated "Silence", those beings immediately ignored him.

The signs of death in the spiritual sense disappeared.

A few more breaths passed.

Those invisible existences seemed to have found nothing, and they all returned to the void without knowing where to go.

I saw lines of burning small characters jumping out:

"Congratulations!"

"Your sidearm can suppress this secret."

"It's about to begin."

Liu Ping felt something and immediately looked towards the pillar.

Under the light of the torch, a black shadow gradually emerged from the pillar.

It became clearer and clearer, gradually changing into a human form.

——This is an old man with white beard and hair.

His figure seemed to be illusory, and his eyes did not fall on Liu Ping.

"It's difficult! It's difficult! It's difficult! It's really difficult to find a way to allow human beings to live with dignity."

The old man looked straight ahead and said with a sad expression: "The world has fallen into complete darkness and despair, and our generation is helpless."

"Perhaps humans will never be able to figure out a way..."

"All of us, with all our efforts, can only create an opportunity to pass it on to future generations of humanity."

"Hopefully someone can make it."
