Infernal Artist

The woman was wearing a bloody robe and holding a candlestick, emitting endless darkness.

She sat on the mural, looked down at Liu Ping, and said:

"Are you a messenger of God?"

"No, I'm not." Liu Ping said.

"Impossible, that dead old man will never give the sacred candlestick to someone he doesn't approve of."

"I'm probably his comrade-in-arms."

"Have you known each other before?"

"I have forgotten a lot of things. I have some vague impressions. We should have had dinner together."

"So why did you come to hell...?"

"This is a secret between him and me. In short, we will not make things worse."

The woman in blood robe pondered for a few breaths and whispered: "Yes, things are already bad. You really can't make things worse. It's good that you can save your lives here..."

"Who is she?" Liu Ping asked quietly.

"One of my own, Gaia, the mother of the earth - but she hates me." God said succinctly.

"Why?"

"Because when the nightmare came, I was already dead, so the entire world and all the earth were destroyed."

"She wants you to fight?"

"Yes, when the earth was destroyed, she lost too much power, and now her strength is as great as ours."

Liu Ping looked at the woman in blood robe on the mural, and his eyes fell on the candlestick in her hand.

The woman noticed his gaze and explained: "Hell is the other side of the Holy Kingdom. In the two worlds, everything is paired and has different effects."

"The omniscient and omnipotent Lord is not willing to die like this. He came here with me to find a way to save the situation." Liu Ping said.

"He used death to escape, and you - I feel that your strength has also suffered a serious loss, just like me. I'm afraid we can't do anything like this." Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, said.

""Why? Liu Ping asked.

"Hell has become a testing ground beyond the imagination of all living beings. Beings far more powerful and chaotic than ordinary nightmare monsters have been born here. Even if the nightmare wants to deal with them, it is not easy." Mother Earth said.

"I'm not here to fight. I'm here to find a path to the Holy Kingdom and take everything away from the Holy Kingdom." Liu Ping said.

"I also know that road... I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing." Mother Earth said.

Liu Ping paused.

"After the destruction of the earth, hell is her last territory. If we want to do something, we can't do it without her approval." God whispered.

"Tell me what it is." Liu Ping said.

"Take me away too - as long as I leave hell, all the dead in hell will follow me. They must be saved instead of staying here and becoming food for monsters." Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, said.

"I can't do it alone." Liu Ping said.

"With me and that dead old man helping you, maybe you can do it." Mother Earth said.

At this time God’s voice came out again:

"She knows the weaknesses of everything, and with her joining us, we will be even more powerful."

Even more powerful...

Let’s survive first.

Liu Ping sighed and said, "Okay, how can I take you away?"

Gaia, the Mother of the Earth, said: "What you see is just a portrait of me. To find the place where I am trapped, you need to pass through a very dangerous place."

Rumble, rumble——

The mural slowly rises along with the entire wall.

Behind this wall, there was a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor were cells one by one. There was nothing inside except some blood and internal organs.

At the end of the corridor, stood a man in black who was taking a nap.

If you look carefully, you will find that he is not actually wearing black clothes, but black blood smeared all over his body.

——He has a long tail with stopped beating hearts strung on it. Judging from his sleeping appearance, it seems to be a short rest after eating.

Gaia, the mother of the earth, said:

"This is a nightmare experiment. A human body contains the soul of a nightmare monster. It has undergone unexpected mutations and its strength has increased several times, but it has a weakness -"

"It has no mind, only appetite."

"How strong is it?" Liu Ping asked.

"With our current level of strength, there is no way to deal with it." Mother Earth said.

After Liu Ping listened carefully, he took off the monster's head from his waist and said, "I'll give it a try."

The monster head hurriedly said: "Sir, I have always told the truth and I have never deceived you."

"Let me see your true ability - you can escape from such a terrifying place, you must have abilities that I don't know about." Liu Ping said.

"Don't, I've only been in the bloody water just now, but I've never gone deep into such a dangerous place." The monster's head said quickly.

"real?"

Liu Ping threw the head away, followed a few steps and kicked it away.

The human head let out a scream, crossed the long corridor, and arrived in front of the monster in an instant.

The monster's nose moved and it quickly opened its eyes.

"Damn it!"

The head cursed and suddenly turned into a shadow, penetrated the monster, passed through the wall, and quickly disappeared.

It turns out that it actually masters the three strange powers of blurring, penetrating, and ignoring attacks!

“Interesting food.”

The monster bumped backwards and immediately broke through the wall and chased after him.

Now, only Liu Ping was left in front of the corridor.

"At this moment, I will take you to find my true body." Mother Earth said on the mural.

She turned into a line of blood, flew down, and twisted into a dark red ring between Liu Ping's fingers.

Liu Ping no longer hesitated and quickly moved forward along the corridor.

He came to where the monster originally stood.

There are only two passages here. The passage on the left is an upward road, and the passage on the right leads to a deep path.

"Quick! Let's take the left passage."

The urging voice of Mother Earth came from the crimson ring.

Liu Ping looked to the left and saw an open door there, with steps extending upward outside the door.

He ran over and was about to pass through the door, but suddenly stopped.

The "man" covered in black blood emerged from the void and blocked the door.

"The heads are delicious, thanks."

It spoke in a serious manner, opening its mouth and spitting out some bone fragments.

Liu Ping stood there and said, "If you really think so, just get out of the way. I have something to do."

The monster said: "I want to eat you."

When it said "eat", it turned into a bolt of lightning and instantly arrived in front of Liu Ping.

The monster opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit Liu Ping's head with all its strength.

Click!

The crisp sound of teeth clashing was heard.

The monster ate nothing!

It took two steps back and looked towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was still standing there, smiling and saying: "Actually, what you saw was just my illusion. The real me has run away to the other side."

The monster was startled, then roared: "No! You can't run away!"

It passed through Liu Ping's illusory special effects, chased towards the deep path on the right, and soon disappeared.

Outside the passage on the left, Liu Ping stood behind the wall and listened for a while, then walked up the steps.

——As expected, although this monster is powerful, it has no sanity.

In the crimson ring, Gaia, the mother of the earth, asked with interest:

"Evading that guy without any fight seems easy, but it's not that simple - who are you?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, I'll rescue you first, and then we'll talk about other things." Liu Ping said.

He casually took out a bag of dry food from the storage space and threw it into the darkness outside the steps.

Between the lightning and flint.

The monster suddenly appeared behind him, but quickly retreated, chasing the falling rations.

"That's fast, Andrea."

Liu Ping sighed and waved his hand.

"Here you go." Andrea said.

I saw countless weapons appearing in the void all around.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and held a simple long knife in his hand.

The voice of Mother Earth came from the crimson ring: "I seem to have told you that it is a nightmare in human form, and its strength is superior to us."

Liu Ping said: "Maybe its strength surpasses you and God——"

The monster suddenly appeared beside him.

Almost at the same moment, Liu Ping turned around tremblingly and stabbed the monster's mouth with the long knife in his hand.

A thunderous shock exploded from the blade.

A bolt of lightning rushed away, instantly penetrating the night and sky, and bombarded the tower hundreds of meters away.

One knife!

The monster's head exploded, its body was cut open in the middle, and the black blood was blown out by the strong wind.

As if there was some kind of magic power, the blood from the corpse flew out automatically, all rushed into the air, and fell on the opposite wall, drawing a powerful "one" character.

"The name of the sword is 'Bloodletting'. With one hit, all the blood on the enemy's body can be drained."

Andrea said leisurely.

"The weapon is good." Liu Ping praised and put the long knife back into the void.

Lines of burning small characters quietly emerged:

"You used a sword technique unknown to nightmares: Trembling Slash."

"This attack activates 'Killing for Fun' and accumulates a lot of soul power for you."

"Please continue to work hard and kill another guy like this, and you will be ready to overcome the disaster."

Collect all the fine print.

The monster's body was also cut in half, but it still tied the two halves together with its tail and stood there stubbornly.

Even though its head had exploded, it still asked:

"What kind of knife skills are you doing? Why doesn't my setting set work at all?"

"This is a sword technique that doesn't exist in the world." Liu Ping said.

"No wonder...if I had one more life...maybe I could eat you."

The monster sighed.

It could no longer maintain its shape, and the two halves of its body fell on the steps and rolled down.

From the crimson ring came the confused voice of Gaia, the Mother of the Earth:

"Why are you so strong? Are you at your peak? No, I feel like your vitality is greatly weakened..."

"It's like this - although we have all been abandoned by the times, like you, one escaped and the other was trapped, but we always have a chance to cheer up." Liu Ping said.

"Have you passed the first period?" asked Gaia, Mother Earth.

"It was a difficult time - but I have initially cheered up and raced against time to improve my strength - after all, we want revenge, don't we?" Liu Ping said.

There was silence.

Suddenly, Gaia, the mother of the earth, and the omniscient and omnipotent Lord spoke simultaneously:

"Of course, we will take revenge."

Liu Ping nodded with satisfaction and said: "They may have defeated us, but we have not been defeated, so we will definitely be able to save all living beings and the world."

He turned around and continued running up the steps.
