Chapter 379: After the Bronze Giant Door, a Space-less Place!
The Grand Priestess no longer insisted on going down.
She could only remind them earnestly before Li Mo and the others descended: “The Chiyou Magic Sword must not be touched, it will devour a person’s consciousness, turning them into a puppet that knows only to kill. Once controlled by the Chiyou Magic Sword, one will completely lose their rationality.”
The Chiyou Magic Sword was a double-edged sword.
It could suppress the Chiyou Demon Spirit, but at the same time, it could also control the person wielding it.
Even Chiyou was affected by it in the past; how much more so now for people?
Through this month of interaction, the Grand Priestess had fully divulged all things regarding Loulan to Li Mo.
In truth, he hadn’t even told her the color of her undergarments.
Actually, there was no need for the Grand Priestess to inform her.
If Li Mo wanted to see, he could “see” every night.
He observed every detail, such as whether there were any moles on her body.
However, he just wasn’t interested.
Behind the Bronze Giant Door, there was not only the Chiyou Magic Sword but also the last remaining “War Demon God.”
The “War Demon God” was another divine weapon crafted by Chiyou back in the day.
Chiyou unified this land with the help of eighty-one War Demon Gods.
However, later on, because of the extreme killing intent of these War Demon Gods, the Lady of the Nine Heavens destroyed eighty of them to forge the Bronze Giant Door that imprisoned the Chiyou Demon Spirit.
And that last War Demon God is now behind the giant door.
The Chiyou Magic Sword mustn’t be touched, but if one could control this War Demon God, it would undoubtedly be a powerful ally.
What Li Mo was most worried about now was that Donghuang Taiyi would move that Chiyou Magic Sword!
When he cooperated with the Chiyou Tribe, Donghuang Taiyi said he wanted the War Demon God.
But Li Mo suspected his true desire was that Chiyou Magic Sword.
Or perhaps, he wanted both!
In the underground cave.
The smoke had already dissipated.
The black mist pouring out from behind the Bronze Giant Door had become faint and barely noticeable.
The originally solid and sturdy Bronze Giant Door had been blown to pieces under tons of gunpowder.
This Bronze Giant Door was thicker than Li Mo had imagined, no wonder Donghuang Taiyi couldn’t shake it even with all his strength back then.
“Stay close to me.”
Li Mo stood before the Bronze Giant Door. Although he had yet to lift his leg to step in, he had already felt the terrifying aura inside.
The three women followed closely behind him, with Wei Zhuang covering the rear while holding the Shark Tooth Sword.
As soon as they stepped through the door, everyone felt a bone-chilling cold rush over them.
Even though it was noon outside, they felt as if they had entered a millennium of frozen ice.
This cold was not just on the surface but penetrated like steel needles, sinking deep into their bones.
Li Mo was glad he hadn’t let the Grand Priestess follow or allowed ordinary soldiers to lead the way.
In such a harsh environment, ordinary people would either be scared to death or frozen to death.
That would truly be a meaningless sacrifice.
The torches in their hands could still illuminate a small area beneath their feet.
But before they had walked far, a mournful, ghostly wind suddenly rushed at them.
It was as if someone had dropped the torches into a toilet, causing them all to extinguish.
This place was filled with heavy Yin energy; although the torches were of Yang nature, they were completely ineffective amidst such overwhelming Yin.
When Yang prevails, Yin fades; when Yin prevails, Yang weakens—that’s the principle.
Li Mo directly discarded the torch in his hand.
After a moment of adaptation with his eyes closed, he opened them again and could vaguely see some images.
After surveying his surroundings, Li Mo warned, “Stay close to me and don’t look down.”
The others gradually adapted to the darkness around them.
Li Wu instinctively glanced down at her feet and immediately took several steps back, bumping right into the Moon Goddess.
The Moon Goddess reached out to steady her, irritated, “I told you not to look down.”
Li Wu knew she was in the wrong and didn’t say a word.
How could she have expected they were walking in such a place?
What lay beneath their feet was not a pile of white bones nor a sea of corpses and blood.
It was an endless abyss!
They seemed to be walking in mid-air above a bottomless cliff!
Whether it was the previous Bai Xianwu or the current Li Wu, they were both villains who had come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Even if they stood over dismembered limbs, she wouldn’t bat an eye.
However, instinctively looking down abruptly shocked her when she realized she was on a steep cliff.
Li Wu quickly steadied her mind and continued to follow behind Fei Yan.
According to everyone’s speculation, the area beyond the Bronze Giant Door belonged to another world.
No one knew what they would encounter here.
After walking for about two hours, the surroundings remained shrouded in darkness.
Trusting Li Mo, they hesitated to doubt whether he was lost, as they stayed with him in place.
… ..
Anyway, except for Wei Zhuang, the three women unconditionally trusted him.
Even if it meant following him for a lifetime, they would continue on.
However, Wei Zhuang was different.
He is someone who dares to discover problems, raise questions, and dislikes engaging in pointless matters.
“It seems we have been walking for quite a while. Are you sure we haven’t gotten lost?”
Wei Zhuang glanced left and right, suddenly speaking from the back of the crowd.
Upon hearing this, Li Mo suddenly laughed, “There’s originally no direction, so how could we get lost?”
The four people behind him were taken aback.
Li Mo explained, “There are no distinctions of up, down, left, right, front, or back here. Moving forward is also moving backward; walking upright might even mean we are walking upside down.”
…
In short, this space does not exist in traditional spatial terms!
Such places do exist.
The universe is a place where there are no distinctions of up, down, or front, back.
This place, although not in the universe, follows the same principle.
Li Mo’s words were not hard to understand, and the others quickly grasped the meaning.
Wei Zhuang then realized that the environment inside was even more complex than they had imagined.
“So, after all this time, have we been making pointless efforts?”
He disliked doing things without meaning.
Every task should have a goal, and then one should work to achieve it.
However, with Li Mo leading them to wander around aimlessly, it seemed meaningless from his perspective.
“Of course not.”
Li Mo shook his head and continued, “If we didn’t walk around inside, how would they discover us?”
Wei Zhuang furrowed his brows: “They?”
Li Mo suddenly focused his gaze: “They’re coming!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Like a large moth, it emitted a chilling white light as it rushed toward him from ahead.
Li Mo raised his hand, delivering a powerful strike.
Thunder crackled around his hand.
When it struck the white shadow, it let out a piercing scream, disappearing like a burst bubble.
However, this seemed to signal something.
More white shadows surged toward them from all directions.
Wei Zhuang’s pupils contracted as he got a clear view of the attackers.
They were transparent, ghost-like “humans”!
