Chapter 881: Chapter 584: Sixth Pact _2
So now you’re planning to directly subdue the opponent?
Isn’t this over-completing the task by 200%, no, 1000%?
But despite his shock, Master Jie Jie still agreed without hesitation.
After all, he had never heard of a barrier that establishes a space portal, and it’s definitely a great learning opportunity.
Under the guidance of the Turtle Soul, Master Jie Jie began to use his techniques and materials to set up the array.
This array is connected to both the cocoon and the power source of the entire prison barrier, providing continuous energy to ensure stability for the portal.
"It’s done."
Half a day later, Master Jie Jie wiped the sweat off his ecstatic face.
Unexpectedly, such a complex portal barrier was completed so quickly by his hands.
What was now presented before Li Pu were a dark tunnel and a deep blue tunnel.
The end of the dark tunnel was unseen darkness, even with his [Night Vision] it was the same.
The deep blue tunnel, on the other hand, exuded the scent of the sea, transmitting to the outside.
[Remember, time is limited, it’s best not to stay in the world at the end of each tunnel for more than ten days]
[Collect as many fragments as you can]
[Additionally, due to the barrier’s restrictions, summoned beasts beyond the 1st rank cannot enter]
[Otherwise, it will trigger the barrier’s divine retribution]
This was what the Turtle Soul said.
"..."
Li Pu had just learned about these details as well.
A summoned beast not beyond the 1st rank — didn’t he have just those.
He conveyed his thoughts to the Turtle Soul.
[Hmm? That’s not impossible]
[Moreover, it can improve efficiency, very well]
The Turtle Soul agreed after hearing it.
Li Pu and the Scarecrow entered one tunnel each, greatly enhancing the efficiency of collecting the aura fragments.
Thus, they split into two routes, with Li Pu choosing the dark tunnel.
Unlike entering the instance’s light gate, this tunnel had a physical presence.
As Li Pu walked in, he realized it was not as dark as he imagined.
On the other side of the tunnel, he could see an exit emitting a strange black and red glow.
A few circles of barrier runes were on the surrounding tunnel walls.
Buzz!
As he walked past the first circle, a blue energy cable extended and connected to him.
[The first one can add a safety assurance for you]
[In extreme danger, it can pull you back into the tunnel]
The Turtle Soul’s voice emerged timely.
Buzz!
When he walked past the second circle, a peculiar micro-light imprint attached itself to his forehead.
[In the Purgatory connected by the cocoon, there is too much malice that erodes the mind]
[This barrier can act as your Protective Talisman, resisting malicious invasions]
"Malice..."
This concept was something Li Pu was hearing about for the first time.
Buzz!
Upon stepping through the third circle, he felt a green light covering his vision.
What he saw immediately turned into a greenish main color, but quickly returned to normal.
[To detect the presence of the aura fragments, you must have special visual ability]
[This barrier allows you to see the targets you need to seek]
As he reached the last circle, the entire tunnel lit up.
[The last barrier is a defensive one to prevent Purgatory species from entering]
[Now the tunnel is officially fully activated, the rest is up to you]
As Li Pu stepped out of the tunnel, the Turtle Soul’s voice vanished.
"So this is Purgatory."
Li Pu surveyed the surrounding environment.
Besides the glowing tunnel entrance behind him, the area around was a dark red-hued environment.
The sky was black, cloudless, and starless, so much so that it didn’t even feel like a sky.
The terrain looked like a barren rocky area, with rocks large and small scattered everywhere.
All around were lakes resembling lava, filled with black and red unknown liquid bubbling.
What was more attention-grabbing than the lakes were the tightly distributed Purgatory skeletons.
These big-headed skeletons all seemed dumb, wandering around on the rocky ground.
The Turtle Soul said it had studied the principle of cocoon-summoned servants, which was essentially randomly capturing from these Purgatory skeletons.
Moreover, during the process, these skeletons are branded with a mental imprint, turning them into obedient servants.
The strength of the capturable servants is directly related to the cocoon’s own strength.
"It seems they bear no malice towards me at all."
Li Pu approached a skeleton, and after glancing up at him twice, it just continued wandering.
The anticipation of being hostile to fleshly beings here didn’t happen at all.
"But I need to search more carefully."
He continued to look around, seeking his target for this trip.
Every time the cocoon captures a skeleton, there might be some aura fragments left due to the use of power and mental imprinting.
The more of these fragments he could collect, the better.
"Found it."
Soon, he discovered a shiny object through his special vision.
The key was that this thing... was actually in the eye socket of a skeleton.
Approaching, without even activating [Hardening].
He smashed that thing’s skull with a single flick of his finger.
Crack!
The Purgatory skeleton fell silently.
Leaving only that particle-like thing floating in mid-air.
"That was too easy."
Li Pu stretched out his hand to take it...
Swish!
But then that particle unexpectedly moved by itself, floating into the distance.
"Hmm?"
He could tell that this movement was unnatural.
The speed wasn’t fast, he could catch up.
Yet he decided to slow down, following to see where it led.
The many rocks here obstructed his view, so he couldn’t determine the particle’s real destination.
After bypassing obstacles, it floated for over 20 minutes.
During the journey, besides Purgatory skeletons, he encountered other species.
There were skeletons in armor, and some strange flesh creatures with dark skin, also covered in flame patterns.
Most species seemed dumb, not paying much attention to Li Pu.
But a few seemed to possess low intelligence and attacked him.
All were taken down with a single kick from Li Pu, and he collected related materials along the way.
Besides this place, many similar particles also kept joining the floating path, gradually forming a weak particle beam.
Probably these were fragments from other things left in Purgatory.
However, knowing the barrier’s constraints, Li Pu could only pick up the cocoon’s aura fragments, so he didn’t care.
Ultimately, what appeared before him was a large basin-like crater.
As the particle beam reached the crater’s cliff-like edge, it suddenly accelerated downward.
"Is this the place?"
Li Pu quickly chased, then saw the crater’s true nature.
A mass grave.
The first word that sprang into his mind was this.
The crater, not too deep yet large enough, was filled with various Purgatory creatures’ remains.
Some looked fresh, others old.
Especially the remnants of Purgatory flesh creatures, exuding a peculiar stench besides the smell of blood.
"How many related materials could there be..."
But Li Pu’s eyes were glowing, clearly ignoring the stench.
[Roar...]
However, before descending into the pit, he saw a sudden rise of black smoke from a part of the remnants.
The particle beam drifted towards the source of the black smoke.
In an instant, the black smoke condensed into a ghostly figure.
Yet unlike a regular ghostly figure, it was black.
Coupled with its translucent body, if one didn’t look closely, it was hard to spot in the dark Purgatory.
"What is this, a Purgatory ghost or an embodiment of malice?"
Li Pu remembered the Turtle Soul mentioning that the malice here, besides eroding the mind, could manifest physically.
This guy seemed like it.
Watching as the figure of malice was about to consume the particle beam, Li Pu took action.
Couldn’t let it devour his things.
So he unleashed a [Thunder Slash].
Boom!
