The Truth of Magic

Chapter 705 Roots

Beware of the Lord of the Nine Hells!

In an instant, these words rang through Zhao Xu's heart again.

No wonder, from the very beginning, he kept hearing this exhortation.

It's no wonder that Antinoya had to be careful when she went to the ninth floor of Bator Hell, and brought the legendary "pale justice" with her.

Obviously, the whole hell is not as complicated as the abyss. The sum of gods and powerful abyss lords can't be less than three digits, which can be called the density of strong Arthur.

In the entire Nine Hells, except for Asmodeus, the lord of hell, there are only nine other levels. Counting their respective bosses, even counting those who have been deposed, it is only two digits to decide who is strong. Just a little early.

As for the Nine Hells, not even half of the gods chose it as the location of the kingdom of God, not even lawful and evil ones.

Even the mage who studied the abyss complained that the lord of hell would choose the place to take advantage. It's just luck, if he was reincarnated in the abyss, he would just hold on to one of the floors.

But having said that, compared to the loose sand in the abyss, the entire Nine Hells can be said to be completely in the hands of that Asmodeus.

Even the appointment of the lord of the ninth plane is decided by him.

Even if the role of "Lord of the Abyss" does exist in the future, it will be difficult to catch up with the Lord of the Nine Hells in his control over the entire plane.

One of the creation dragons, the incarnation of order, the ruler of the nine hells.

When these are connected in series, the power of the Lord of Hell seems to make sense naturally.

In an instant, Zhao Xu's eyes fell into a state of confusion, spiraling into a boundless vortex, flying away with his sight and soul.

Slowly, he seemed to have traveled back to the entire world of Arthur, which was still in a state of chaos.

At that moment, everything around was foggy. Although it had the outline of the entire world, the structure of the outer interface also appeared faintly.

But everything is clear and lifeless.

Naturally, there was no death.

Nothingness is the greatest will in this world.

It is like a huge ship heading for destruction, floating on the magnificent sea, but the lights on the ship are all extinguished, and it remains silent, as if dead, until it crashes into an iceberg and completes its final mission.

Here, there is no decree issued by the gods to let the world have light.

There is no life and all things reproduce, making the world colorful.

Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly widened.

Looking straight into the void, if it is difficult to separate, the entangled chaotic fog——

Creation Dragon!

Order and Chaos!

They have a long tail in the form of a feathered snake dragon, while the other feathered snake dragon holds its tail and lets its own tail be held.

A circle of fate is formed.

The ring of the end.

initial ring.

Immediately, the color of the sky and the earth changed, the mountains and rivers collapsed, like a fog that suddenly dissipated, and all the existences hidden in the darkness were revealed in the bright universe.

Zhao Xu saw it.

The Feathered Serpent Dragon, which represents order, let out an angry roar. It was full of anger and stared at another twin companion.

suddenly.

The good and evil of heaven and earth are also clarified and differentiated at this second.

Both order and chaos continued to fall towards the deepest barriers of the plane, and the entire range of Arthur Tianyu gradually expanded.

The giant wheel of the plane is also taking shape for the first time.

until.

The feathered snake dragon of order and order hit the ground, and the boundless power of the plane was instantly condensed, and then transformed into the nine layers of hell——

The first floor is Avernas, the second floor is Dis, the third floor is Minauros, the fourth floor is Phlegethos, the fifth floor is Stygia, the sixth floor is Malborji, and the seventh floor is Mara Dominion, Carnia on the eighth floor, Nessus on the ninth floor.

The nine levels of Baator's hell are arranged in a funnel shape, with the largest Avernus at the top and the smallest Nessus at the bottom.

From it, Zhao Xu saw a pure law and evil that existed at all levels, formed during the process of spraying blood, and they lingered under the dim and misty shadowy sky and on the scorched ground.

At the same time, the blood spilled out and fell on the surface of hell. Gradually, devils crawled out of the ground one by one.

With confused eyes, angry eyes, and pilgrimage eyes, they all knelt down to the ninth hell, Nessus, to the place where life was first born, to the place of will and alignment.

At the same time, there was a roar from heaven and earth——

You who enter this place must give up hope!

The cursed plain of Nessus emerged from a swirling crimson void. The power of evil order and law was like a cage to imprison this world, and all the power of chaos retreated.

The general outline of the plane is like an oval, with jagged edges of the land, and the absolutely flat surface allows people to easily see the surrounding detailed scenery.

At the same time, due to the impact, the ground formed a series of intersecting mountain valleys and ditches, which were like a grid in the entire arid rock formation, drawing a net, and at the bottom of these gaps, there was an infinite space that was created.

The one who fell to the Lawful Feathered Serpent dragon slowly climbed out of the deep pit that tore his flesh and blood, and stood up again in this place where he stopped falling—Baator Hell.

The end of the deep crater left by the impact has become the eternal surface symbol of Nessus—the snake coil, a canyon that spirals down, and the surface is a vortex-shaped crack.

At the same time, every drop of blood splashed here has become a hellish fiend with full life. They are fanatical and loyal, constantly roaring in this Snake Pan Canyon, singing the greatness of creation.

As for Asmodeus who stood up, his body was still dripping with blood from hitting the opening plane.

Those wounds have never healed, as if the eternal curse of the years, has been with him for a long time.

The former lawful creation dragon died.

The red-skinned, horned humanoid with an elegant and proud demeanor—Asmodeus—awakened.

His cold eyes looked directly at Zhao Xu through the void.

Slowly, the image of the other party began to change——

A powerful devil with shiny black skin and hair, a full four meters tall.

That handsome face is full of danger, his red eyes emit an evil light, and there are a pair of sharp horns on his forehead. He is wearing a gorgeous robe inlaid with black diamonds and rubies. The ruby ​​scepter that symbolizes the supreme power of hell.

The opponent raised his scepter and gave him a grin.

In an instant, Zhao Xu was in a trance, woke up from the depths of sleep, and returned from the void of history.

He looked blankly at the old man in front of him, who was the bottom of the abyss, the incarnation of the bottomless realm.

This is the scene when we were separated.

In the end, the old man knelt down towards Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu, who was still dazed in his eyes, walked silently through the void with his hands on his back.

He seemed to feel the trance of the abyss at this moment.

He felt the resonance of the will from the abyss, calling to him, trying to reintegrate with him.

But what about his?

Zhao Xu saw the scene where Asmodeus was reborn.

But did not see his own.

It seems that it has re-condensed into a mystery that cannot be removed.

"Then what do I need to do next?" Zhao Xu asked helplessly.

Facing this situation, he was deeply confused and at a loss.

Countless powers of the abyss cheered and rushed towards him, as if they wanted to completely transform his body into the essence of the abyss.

He heard the resonance, felt the resonance, and even more aware of the common call of this world.

Zhao Xu also saw that on the camp square of his character card, the line between the positioning and the chaotic camp was heading towards the end of the chaos unstoppably.

If the incarnation of chaos.

He is the chaos of this world, the greatest common divisor.

In an instant, Zhao Xu took a deep breath and turned to look at the old man kneeling on the ground.

"Um?"

At this time, it seemed that every word and deed of him carried an incomparably profound and ancient aura, which could be exuded naturally without imitation.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

The old man bent his head deeper, "Master, the only thing I need you to do is to open the 'Abyss Scroll' you left behind."

"This supreme artifact, which was created by you in the first place and contains all the secrets of the abyss, is the means of your return."

"As long as you open it, you will have all the power invincible in this world in an instant. This is not only a foreshadowing, but also a key part of fate."

Zhao Xu couldn't help shaking his head.

"But that abyss scroll, didn't someone else read it in the first place?"

"Indeed." The old man knelt down even lower, as if he wanted to press his forehead tightly to the ground, not daring to raise it at all.

"Because the fate line has been changed, in case the owner cannot touch it anyway, all the world lines were spied on by the Asmodeus who woke up first, and then cut them down one by one. "

"So when that abyssalist appeared, I let him in and browsed the 'Abyss Scroll'. Finally, after he left this plane, he went out and wrote the 'Darkness of Darkness' that incarnated countless artifacts. roll'."

this?

Zhao Xu suddenly woke up.

He came into contact with that mysterious oil painting?

"Didn't you say that the moment I come to the abyss, as long as I touch the portal, I will be teleported here accurately?"

The old man smiled wryly, "That's what you said, but one step earlier, master, you will be beheaded by that hell lord first."

"Annihilate you at the end of the entire world, and even from that moment on, he will wipe out everything related to you, including your territory and everyone you know."

"So all of this requires a plan to hide from the sky."

"The Scroll of Darkness is a key part of this plan. As long as there is its breath, the countless divided Scrolls of Darkness in the entire abyss will be disorganized, like countless substitutes."

"Even if the Lord of the Nine Hells can detect it at that moment, it will not help, because he has no idea which place is you, the master. Not to mention that he broke into the abyss without authorization, and will be suppressed by the plane because of this." Power, cannot be transformed into tens of millions, and captured one by one."

"And the most critical part of this is that you must have access to a copy of the 'Tome of Darkness'. Fortunately, Master, you have indeed done it."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu heaved a deep sigh.

Who would have thought that all of this would come down to an oil painting?

No, it should be said that it is above an artifact.

Aham's Scroll of Darkness!

Unexpectedly, besides containing information about the creatures of purgatory and the abyss and providing its users with mysterious powers, this tome that records demon lore actually hides such a profound "game" behind it, waiting for his return.

Zhao Xu couldn't help recalling what Antinoya described to him on the spot -

Aham's Dark Tome consists of hundreds of individual chapters.

The chapters of those lesser artifacts are not unique—the chapters appear in tomes, scrolls, and dungeons on almost all planes.

This series of artifacts, from the moment they appeared, carried an incomparable secret.

It really is the favor of the abyss that makes it a divine weapon.

The artifact that reveals the secrets of the abyss can last forever in the abyss. How could it be possible without the permission of the will of the abyss?

It's ridiculous that those demons who want to take it back and destroy it are essentially helping the Lord of Hell.

It's just that he immediately thought of something wrong.

"But, the original Ernest, didn't he come here before?"

Zhao Xu instinctively thought that Ernest was most likely himself.

According to his guess, at some future moment, he traveled through time and space and returned to the ancient time of Arthur, and then met May there, and took her into his family, becoming the first believer.

Later, because of a certain encounter, Antinoya, who was still a little girl, held her in the palm of her hand and accepted her as her direct apprentice, even sacrificing the entire magic empire for her safety.

And he left the current Arthur and returned to the historical Arthur. During this process, he must have encountered something again, which led to the extremely powerful scene that happened at that time.

It wasn't Zhao Xu's exaggeration, but he felt that the current world could not cultivate Ernest who came to ancient times and could destroy everything.

This was also the "version" that Zhao Xu had inferred, and it was also the version that he felt was closest to the truth.

However, if this is the case, that Ernest must have come into contact with the "Abyss Scroll" already?

At that time, shouldn't he climb to the top immediately and become the master of the abyss?

In an instant, Zhao Xu regained his vigilance.

Although the power of the abyss around him, when he absorbed it, he could hear the cheers coming from his ears.

But the news just now is based on the old man's dictation.

From the beginning to the end, what he knew was what the other party showed him.

It's the same as when he flipped through a stone tablet and got the amazing story on it through interpretation.

They are all isolated cases, lack of corresponding auxiliary proofs, and do not have a complete chain of evidence.

It is even unknown whether this level is the real bottomless realm of the abyss.
