Cataclysm King

Chapter 521: The Train from the Underworld
Ji Xun and his group carefully went deeper into the tree roots in the southeast.

Perhaps it was because the dragon might that Maraudis had released when he returned from the underworld was too powerful, which frightened the undead monsters in the passage. Along the way, except for a few small ghosts hiding deep in the tree roots, there were almost no threatening monsters encountered.

Half an hour later, everyone successfully arrived at a cave surrounded by roots.

From a distance, a coffin as black as ink came into view.

Everyone stopped.

The coffin was made of cold black iron, a nearly three-meter-long rectangular block that gave the naked eye a sense of ancient and heavy texture. The coffin was densely carved with mysterious and ancient runes. These runes flickered with a faint light, and looking at them, they were deep and boundless, not only distorting the visual space, but also seeming to devour the surrounding time.

It just lay there quietly, as if whispering ancient secrets to the visitor.

Even from a distance, a strong sense of mystery was overwhelming.

"Sure enough."

Seeing this, Ji Xunyin muttered to himself in a whisper as soft as a mosquito.

He had seen two similar coffins before.

One is on the neon train, which is a coffin that can nourish the soul; the other is in the Oran royal family, which is known to have the effect of warming the flesh and blood.

Although the spells on the iron coffin point in different directions, the style is exactly the same.

It was the first time that Bonnie and the others saw this magical coffin. When they learned from Ji Xun that this was the relic used to create the mirror space, they could not hide their curiosity.

But before they could get closer to check, Ji Xun quickly reminded them: "Everyone be careful, don't get close to the coffin."

Hearing this, everyone stood still.

Bonnie gave him a questioning look: "What's wrong?"

Ji Xun pointed to the armor fragments on the ground and said, "There are a lot of void winds and cracks nearby."

People who don't have a high level of understanding of the laws of space won't be able to detect any abnormalities. If you move forward another ten meters, it's like walking into a minefield, and life and death are unpredictable.

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized and secretly felt fortunate that they had a teammate who was proficient in the laws of space.

So that's where those corpses and armor fragments on the ground came from.

I just thought it was caused by some monster.

The others stayed where they were, and Ji Xun walked over alone with the [Original Rune Stone of Space].

Ivan lay on his head, pointing out some spatial gusts of wind that Ji Xun hadn't noticed from time to time.

It took several minutes to walk a distance of only a hundred meters.

In the eyes of others, Ji Xun was like an acrobat who lost his balance while walking on a tightrope, with all kinds of twisted and waving movements.

But only he knew that this journey was like walking in a forest of blades. Because he was careful enough, he avoided the hundreds of fatal space cracks.

It looks like it was left behind when the space barrier was broken by the dead dragon Marodis and the divine magic collapsed.

Fortunately, there is Ivan.

After a close call, Ji Xun walked to the side of the coffin.

It was the first time he saw this mysterious black coffin so close.

Ji Xun didn't know why, but after getting closer, he felt as if everything around him had stopped.

Looking back at Qin Rushi and the others, I realized that it was not stillness. Instead, it felt like space was distorted, and there was a feeling that time was flowing at a different speed.

"Does the high-level spatial law distort time?"

Ji Xun thought of the time when he was trapped in that mysterious mirror space. Space and time seemed to have an inexplicable connection.

He knew that his current understanding of the laws could not explain the time distortion phenomenon before him.

Turning around, he asked the little girl lying on his head: "Ivan, do you remember anything?"

Griffith once said that Ivan was snatched out of this coffin by her.

This girl might be the "spirit" of the coffin or something.

However, Ivan shook his head and yawned: "It just feels very familiar, like lying on a soft bed, very comfortable, want to sleep."

"."

Ji Xun listened to this, looked at the coffin in front of him, and fell into deep thought.

This coffin is undoubtedly a space treasure.

At present, the known effect is that the "mirror space" can be used to trap people.

Emperor Lanlingster left a message on the stone tablet saying that this coffin is the supreme secret of the [JOKER] sequence and the correct path to promotion to [Colorful JOLER].

As Ji Xun watched, enlightenment appeared.

"You touched the mysterious coffin and glimpsed some of the mysteries of space. You gained +21 understanding of the laws of space."

Seeing the sudden enlightenment, Ji Xun's eyes lit up instantly: "Huh?"

He had seen the new king of the Orlan Dynasty, Arthur, collecting fear in a coffin in Innocence City before. This mysterious coffin was obviously effective in assisting the understanding of the supernatural law. That guy was able to quickly jump to a higher level because of this.

Now that he had felt it himself, Ji Xun truly realized how outrageous this coffin was.

This feeling is just like soaking in the elemental fountain before, and the affinity of various elements suddenly increased.

You must know that the "Law of Space" is a high-level law.

The difficulty of comprehending it is more than ten times higher than that of the elemental law.

Normally, you may practice hard for several months without seeing any increase in the quantity.

Just by being close for a while, there is an improvement?

“What an incredible efficiency improvement!”

Ji Xun sighed in his heart.

If he were in some other place, he would really like to lie in a coffin and try to see how much he could improve.

It is no wonder that it is rare to see space card masters in other places, but there are many of them among the high-ranking officials of the Holy See.

Ji Xun had read the biographies of famous space card masters at the Royal Academy before, and he thought that there really were many talented space card masters in the Southern Continent.

Now I see that it was because of this coffin.

This time, the Holy See dropped the coffin in the passage to the underworld, causing a considerable loss.

On second thought, the Holy See has been plundering the southern continent for more than 100,000 years, and there are endless magical artifacts. It is reasonable to have some losses.

It's his now.

Ji Xun tilted his head and asked, "Ivan, can you put this coffin away?"

"It seems not possible."

Ivan tried it, then shook his head with a confused look in his eyes, as if he didn't know why.

Ji Xun couldn't figure it out either.

The coffin must be taken away. After observing for a while and finding no danger, he touched it with his hand and then frowned.

I secretly exerted force with my fingers until the veins on the back of my hand burst, but it didn't move at all?

"what"

This time Ji Xun was even more confused.

It was clear that the coffin had been transported in before, and judging by the wheel marks, it didn't seem to be particularly heavy, so how could it not be moved?

Obviously, there is something special about this coffin.

Ji Xun suddenly thought of something, then reached out and touched the coffin again. This time, without using much force, the coffin actually moved a little.

Seeing this, he suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It needs the power of space law to move it."

Just now he knew why he couldn't move it. It was like a potato buried in the soil. The coffin was embedded in space!
Only by injecting the power of space can it be made to come out of the void.

Ji Xun discovered the trick, and with a little effort, he was able to carry the coffin on his shoulders.

It feels like an inflated balloon. Although it is large in size, it floats in the air without requiring much effort.

"Hey, that's convenient."

Ji Xun watched the coffin walk out of the tree root cave.

What’s even more magical is that there were space debris everywhere, but as soon as the coffin approached, the debris healed automatically.

Ji Xun walked out smoothly.

The black coffin was placed on the open space, and everyone gathered around curiously.

Qin Rushi was at the highest level, so she discovered something immediately and asked in surprise, "Can this coffin help me comprehend the laws of space?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yeah."

"Really? I'll try it too."

After hearing this, Bonnie and a few others nearby also became excited.

Everyone asked if it was dangerous and touched it out of curiosity.

There is almost no inheritance of space card masters in the Eastern Wasteland, but that doesn't mean they are not talented.

Revolutionary army cadres like Bonnie are elite soldiers who have emerged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are all extremely talented and can reach the sixth level.

Soon, their expressions became interesting.

"Hahaha, it's true. I...I feel the laws of space!"

"So this is the law of space. It's so amazing."

"Brother Ji Xun, the improvement in my understanding of the laws caused by this coffin is too exaggerated, isn't it? I feel like if I could practice next to this coffin for a month, I would be able to learn the basics of space magic."

"Yeah. I feel the same way! The efficiency of this perception is even faster than the elemental laws. It's outrageous."

"."

Bonnie and the others were very excited.

You must know that the law of space is not restrained by any other law. Mastering any space spells can be a life-saving skill.

If you really want to understand the higher level, you must

It has always been a hard life, and although there have been opportunities along the way, compared to this coffin, it is like an experience of cheating.

Ji Xun certainly didn't mind sharing the black coffin with everyone. Instead, he told them some of his experiences in practicing the laws of space.

The Holy See can use this coffin to train a large number of space card masters, and of course others can do so as well.

Because they were worried that the remnants of the Holy See might come looking for them, Ji Xun carried the coffin, and the group walked and chatted along the way.

The atmosphere is harmonious and cheerful.

Except for the unfamiliar Dark Peacock, it seemed that no one had any despair of being trapped in the passage to the underworld.

Ji Xun originally wanted to wait and then go to the battlefield to see if he could find some possibilities of escaping.

Unexpectedly, as I was walking, I saw a masked man wearing a cloak with gold patterns appear in my sight.

On his right shoulder he was carrying a bloody man, and on his left was a strange white bird.

The "Thirteen Kamen Riders" are quite famous in the Eastern Wilds. Although the Revolutionary Army members are not familiar with them, they know them and they immediately became alert.

However, Ji Xun looked at the mask representing the Light Chaser and greeted him with a smile, "Jia Yu?"

The cloaked man opposite took off his mask, revealing a young face with a mushroom head.

He looked young, but his eyes seemed full of wisdom. He smiled and replied, "Ji Xun, long time no see."

Seeing that the two people were obviously familiar with each other, Bonnie and the others had slightly strange expressions.

Can I meet someone I know here?
"Really you?"

Although Ji Xun's tone was a question, he was not surprised at all now.

When he saw the person Jia Yu was carrying, he asked, "Is this Old Xie?"

He was not surprised that Jia Yu would go to collect Old Xie's body, but he was surprised that it was not a corpse.

Although weak, he is still a living person.

But I clearly saw with my own eyes that Xie Guozhong was killed by the dead dragon Marodis, so how could he be alive again?

Everyone let down their guard, and Jia Yu also came over. He was slightly out of breath, as if after a long journey, and said, "Yes. One of the purposes of coming this time is to solve the problem with the captain."

"."

Ji Xun suddenly realized, that's how it is.

He knew that this guy was here to find him, and when he saw him, all his previous guesses became reality.

In other words, this guy holds the hope for everyone to get out alive.

Qin Rushi also understood this. She knew the relationship between Ji Xun and the Illumination Hermitage, and she also knew that Senior Xu was also the founder of this organization, so she also got a glimpse of part of the truth.

Ji Xun asked Jia Yu to sit down and asked the question he was most curious about: "How did Old Xie come back to life? I clearly saw it before."

Jia Yu smiled and said directly: "He was dead originally. It is also because of the special nature of this passage to the underworld that his soul will not disintegrate after death, so he was brought back to life."

"???"

Hearing this, not only Ji Xun, but everyone else looked puzzled.

It’s one thing that the passage to the underworld is special, but how is resurrection possible?
Jia Yu didn't beat around the bush, pointing to the white crow on his shoulder, and said calmly: "Didn't you see the [White Crow] before? I extracted its divine power, then wrote a fairy tale, and then performed the story into reality. Then I saved the captain's life."

Everyone: "."

It would have been fine if there was no explanation, but after this explanation, everyone's eyes were filled with inexplicable shock.

Ji Xun understood a little bit, and murmured: "So the legend is true."

He knew Jia Yu's [Square 7 - Bard] ability, and he also knew that "I am the world".

Since the white crow has the ability to materialize fairy tales, it turns out that it is really possible.

But the revolutionary army had no idea.

Upon hearing this method, everyone was immediately shocked.

Jia Yu only gave a brief explanation and did not intend to go into further details.

Ji Xun didn't realize until now that Xie Guozhong's death was also something that the mushroom-head had deduced long ago.

Taking this opportunity, he could completely free himself from the control of 'Scarlet Corruption·Seiyadis'.

"But."

Ji Xun thought of the blood contamination, which was lifelong. Even if he was rescued, he would still be a vampire.

Jia Yu knew what he wanted to say, so he took out a potion and threw it over: "This is for you."

Ji Xun looked at the green potion in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Master Merlin has developed the [Bloodline Gene Anchoring Potion]."

Jia Yu said, explaining the efficacy of the drug: "It can anchor the human gene chain and prevent it from being distorted during the extraordinary advancement process, and block all bloodline suppression."

"Anchor gene?"

When Ji Xun heard about the effect, he immediately showed a surprised expression.

This means that the extraordinary advancement in genetic direction will not be distorted?

For example, the advancement of the [Spade 4-Beast Walker] sequence requires the Warcraft gene to change itself, and there are many other sequences like this. The biggest risk of advancing this type of sequence is that the alien gene will contaminate the human gene chain and cause deformation.

But now that we have this medicine, does it mean that we can anchor the main human gene?
Ji Xun's mind quickly thought of the subsequent effects of this potion.

This will have a groundbreaking impact on the entire card master civilization!
This also means that the difficulty of card masters in the beast transformation sequence will be greatly reduced in the future.

This is awesome!

Moreover, Jia Yu took it out at this time, obviously saying that this potion can block the suppression of vampire blood.

In other words, it's like Xie Guozhong has been injected. He still has the super physique of a vampire, but he is no longer controlled by the blood of the source, 'Scarlet Corruption·Saiatis'!
If that's the case, then what about the Dragonborn card master?

Don't the billions of card masters in the southern continent no longer have to be enslaved by the dragon clan?

Jia Yu looked at Ji Xun's surprised expression and said, "Yes. As you thought, Master Merlin has already tested it, and Dragonborn card masters can also use it."

Then he added, "But now we don't have enough materials. The quantity is limited. We only have a few finished products. They are still for vampires and dragonborn. Oh. Master Merlin also asked me to thank you. The most critical breakthrough is the part of the Bai family's secret research files that you brought out of the plague swamp. And your blood sample."

Ji Xun was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

Jia Yu paused, and added: "Master Merlin knows that you have come to the Warcraft Forest, and he asked me to pass on a message to you, asking you to help him collect more special biological samples."

"."

Ji Xun listened as the thoughts in his mind scatter like a volcanic eruption.

Master Merlin did something earth-shattering without making any noise.

Ji Xun has always known that Master Meilin has been researching this topic, and he provided a lot of materials and information.
But he didn't arrive first, and the old man was so awesome that he actually figured it out.

This potion really needs to be mass-produced. It will be a "blockbuster bomb" that can overthrow the regime of the Arel Empire!
You have to know that the reason why the Arel Empire has been able to stand for more than 100,000 years is because the dragons suppressed the blood of the dragon descendants, so that humans had no chance to resist.

Now with this potion, the Dragonborn has become a human card master like Ji Xun who possesses dragon abilities!

Isn’t this outrageous?
Moreover, the blood contamination that had plagued the Kashi civilization for countless years was no longer a problem.

Then vampires and dragonborn can all be anchored as humans.

The influence on the entire Card Master civilization is simply...unimaginable!
Such a big news was said so lightly.

If it happened somewhere else, no one would believe this as a drunken joke.

However, the two parties in the conversation were Ji Xun and the Light Chaser!
This shocked all the revolutionary soldiers, including Qin Rushi, who were listening, beyond words.

They understood the effects of the potion, and after careful consideration, they also saw the impact on the Kashi civilization.

Seeing that the Southern Continent is now invading the Eastern Wilderness, the Kashi civilization is in danger of destruction.

Now that this medicine has appeared, the situation has changed dramatically!

Even all the dragon descendants in the southern continent can be re-anchored as human card masters!
This small potion is like the gear of fate. As time goes by, its impact will become greater and greater.

In the southern continent, although the dragon clan is still powerful, they can no longer implement that kind of slavery and rule.

It can even be foreseen that thousands of years from now, whether it is the Southern Continent, the Eastern Wilderness, or the Old Continent, they will all be civilized societies controlled by humans.

This inexplicably gave rise to a sense of heroism in the hearts of the revolutionary army.

They rebelled just to allow ordinary people to live a good life.

Now this medicine seemed to have injected a shot of adrenaline into their hearts.

The future is expected!

Um. That's not right.

still have a question.

They have to be alive to see it.

Jia Yu continued, "I also injected the captain with medicine. Now the hidden danger of the blood clan is gone, but the rank needs to be rebuilt. Fortunately, the realm and understanding of the law are still there, so the rebuilding will be quick."

"."

After hearing this, Ji Xun's frown was completely smoothed out at this moment.

Sure enough, this guy never disappoints anyone and always considers things very carefully.

After all, Xie Guozhong is a person who has seen the world from the perspective of the Outer God Seatis. If he really wants to rebuild, there will probably be no bottlenecks along the way.

Ji Xun was also looking forward to seeing how far this old friend would go after his restoration.

Even now, Ji Xun still hadn't forgotten the most crucial question. He asked, "By the way, Jia Yu, are you here to save us?"

He thought that since this Mushroom Head had come, there must be a way.

But unexpectedly, Jia Yu shook his head and said, "I don't have the ability to open the passage to the underworld."

When these words were spoken, not only Ji Xun but everyone else was also stunned.

The last hope is gone?

After a pause, Jia Yu continued, "Even if a mid-level god comes here, he can't get out. As far as I know, there are only two people who can open the card master plane with divine power. One is the golden dragon god Malaudius who came back from the underworld, and the other is the scarlet corrupted Seadis who just got the Titan's body."

"Oh?"

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, not panicking at all.

He knew this mushroom-headed guy well enough that even if he couldn't do anything, he could still think of some solutions.

as predicted.

Jia Yu did not keep the secret any longer and said, "Although I can't do it, there are people who can."

After a pause, he continued, "As for the people who know the underworld best, the Nan family is the only one in the card master plane. I had a chance to talk to Priest Nan before and discussed some issues. She is in the underworld now, and I can locate her."

"."

Ji Xun had actually guessed it.

He had thought about the Nan family before.

But the space in the dead zone is very special. Both space spells and psychic magic can only be used within the dead zone and cannot be crossed.

Ji Xun was unable to contact Nan Jing, let alone Nan Su Shang who was in the underworld and he didn't know whether he had returned.

Three thousand years ago, the angel was ambushed and killed in the City of Innocence. It was Nan Shenyu and the Illuminati who acted together.

The previous ambush and killing of the foreign god sect in Wuzui City was also a conspiracy between Nan Sushang and Jia Yu.

This mysterious organization has been playing an overlooked but very important role in the long civilization changes of the Talen Dynasty.

It now seems that the royal family, the high priest, and the monastic order are the three pillars of the Talen Empire's inheritance.

When Ji Xun thought of this, he finally understood that the Talen Dynasty was really very powerful.

"Let's go out first. If we stay here any longer, something bad might happen."

Jia Yu didn't say much, he took out a scroll, activated it and said, "Originally this spiritual scroll cannot cross planes, but this happens to be a passage to the underworld, so it can be used."

As soon as he finished speaking, a magic circle appeared on the scroll and a hexagonal soul lamp lit up.

This soul lamp is not as dazzling as the sun before, but the principle is the same.

The soul lamp guides the direction of those returning from the underworld.

After doing all this, everyone just waited with eyes wide open.

Ji Xun and Qin Rushi guessed what would happen.

The officials were completely unaware of this.

They were curious and nervous, not knowing how they could get back.

Time passed like this, waiting for half an hour.

Ji Xun also talked to Jia Yu about some details of the struggle between the three major sects.

This question solved many mysteries.

As expected, the [Curse God Card] was released by the Illuminati.

Jia Yu discovered the existence of the Dead Zone from some other forbidden ruins stone tablets, and then the relics of the great emperor came to the world, triggering a subsequent treasure hunt.

Moreover, many of the internal conflicts among the three major sects were deliberately ignited by Jia Yu.

He also revealed how to seal a dead dragon in a jar.

Whether it was the Holy See or the Scarlet Lord, they could see through these plans as being calculated. But the clever thing was that even though they knew they were being calculated, they had to cooperate.

Because without Jia Yu's method, they would not be able to solve the hidden dangers after the return of the Dragon God Maraudis.

As such.

Listening to the two people's conversation, the cadres of the revolutionary army finally realized that there were so many calculations hidden in the violent turmoil in the southern continent.

Everyone looked at the harmless-looking mushroom-headed boy with strange expressions.

I originally thought that Ji Xun’s deductive ability was outrageous enough.

For the first time, they deeply felt the value of "Light Chaser", the undefeated legend of the Eastern Wasteland.

"So, what should we do next? Why did Emperor Lanlingster let the dragon god Maraudis come back from the underworld?"

"I haven't completely deciphered the contents on the stone tablet yet, but I guess it should be used as 'material'. And it seems that the turmoil in the southern continent is beneficial to the Card Master civilization."

"."

Ji Xun and Jia Yu were still chatting intermittently.

At this moment, suddenly a "woooooo" train whistle was heard.

Ji Xun, Jia Yu and Qin Rushi all knew what was going on and looked into the depths of the fog.

Bonnie and the others on the side widened their eyes, and their expressions seemed to be saying: There is a train in this place?
Before everyone pricked up their ears to confirm whether it was an hallucination, at the end of their sight, in the fog, an old steam train slowly approached.

At this time, Jia Yu looked at Qin Rushi again and said politely: "When we get on the train, we will have to ask Miss Qin to help change the ticket permissions. After all, none of us have tickets."

Qin Ru nodded: "Yes."

Ji Xun raised his eyebrows and glanced at the mushroom-headed man who always had a smile on his face.

Sure enough, this guy had thought of everything already.
