Infinity: Kill your way through the movie world.
Chapter 1200 Retrieval from the Locked Room
The puppet demon's newly formed divine tentacle swayed slightly, emitting a divine glow of 'tranquility' and 'order,' subtly neutralizing the approaching sound waves.
This is somewhat contradictory to the appearance of the puppet spirit, as if the evil spirit is radiating holy light.
Crowley glanced sideways, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought."
Wu Heng followed closely behind Crowley, navigating the intricate Prism Maze with ease.
A hint of surprise flashed in Crowley's eyes, and his assessment of Wu Heng's strength rose another level.
The opponent is powerful and has a very solid foundation; they are definitely not one of those lucky people who suddenly get an opportunity.
They also bypassed a solitary peak that constantly spewed black lightning, which Crowley called 'Lucifer's Gaze'.
It is said that it was a permanent landmark formed by the power that the Lord of Hell unintentionally leaked when he was in a bad mood;
Upon hearing this, Wu Heng glanced at the solitary peak with a meaningful look.
Then we passed through a tunnel made up of living worms that were constantly wriggling and secreting strong acid.
Crowley had to cast a small protective spell to get through safely, while Wu Heng's shadow field directly caused the worms to avoid him in fear.
Along the way, Crowley acted as a dutiful guide, not only pointing out the dangers but also subtly revealing which demon lord these areas belonged to, as well as the conflicts between some factions within Hell.
Wu Heng listened in silence, and this information further enriched the database of information about hell related to 'internet addiction'.
After a considerable trek, a vast military camp, exuding a somber atmosphere, came into view on the horizon.
The military camp was surrounded by black walls, as if forged from solidified sins.
Green hellfire burned atop the walls, and countless fierce-looking demon guards patrolled the camp.
The air was filled with sulfur, steel, and violent energy fluctuations.
They sharpen their claws and polish their weapons in preparation for the upcoming 'battle for supremacy' in the real world.
Crowley gestured for Wu Heng to hide behind a hill formed of charred bones.
“Look over there,” he pointed deep into the military camp, to a particularly tall black fortress that looked as if it were made of countless tormented heads. “That is Lilith’s lair, her place of healing. The secret chamber you are looking for is on the third basement level of the lair.”
He paused, his tone becoming serious: "However, entering the secret chamber requires a special 'key,' which must be the soul aura of Lilith herself as a trigger to open that door."
"Otherwise, forcibly breaking in will trigger a curse, destroying the secret room and everything inside."
He turned to look at Wu Heng and shrugged, "This is the best I can do for you."
“If I get any closer, my identity will be hard to explain, and I do have some ‘minor matters’ to attend to, so I can’t openly bring you in front of the Imperial Guard.”
His smile carried a hint of 'you know what I mean'.
Wu Heng nodded without saying anything more.
Crowley felt as if he had been granted a pardon. His figure quickly faded away, disappearing as if blending into the shadows, to proceed with the next step of his plan.
Wu Heng's gaze locked onto the black fortress.
He suppressed most of the puppet spirit's energy fluctuations, and like a apex predator, blended into the hellish environment, silently stealthily approaching the fortress.
The defensive arrays and patrolling sentries surrounding the fortress were rendered useless by Wu Heng's perception and stealth abilities.
He passed through layers of guards and entered the fortress.
The fortress was filled with the stench of blood and a demonic aura.
Following the direction of the source of the oppressive aura, Wu Heng finally arrived at a palace located at the core of the fortress, constructed of skeletons and obsidian.
In the center of the palace was a huge pool filled with dark red, viscous blood. Lilith was currently soaking in the blood pool, her once alluring face now pale and haggard.
Her eyes were tightly closed, her brows furrowed, clearly focused on channeling the power of hell to heal herself, completely unaware that shadows had already enveloped her.
Just as Lilith was feeling exhausted, Wu Heng's figure solidified behind her.
Lilith suddenly opened her eyes, her demonic intuition sensing extreme danger.
She wanted to scream, to fight back, but it was too late.
A tentacle covered in divine aura and evil incantations shot out from the shadows like shackles from purgatory, instantly imprisoning her and the entire blood pool.
The powerful binding force not only restricted her movements but also suppressed the demonic power within her.
"It's you!" Lilith recognized the newcomer, her eyes filled with disbelief and terror. "What do you want? I can give you power, I can give you power!"
Wu Heng completely ignored her.
He extended his right hand, palm facing Lilith's forehead, and the puppet spirit made the same gesture.
A sudden burst of icy power erupted.
"No—!! Spare me, I can submit, I know Lucifer's secret!" Lilith begged for mercy, struggling desperately, but it was all in vain in the face of the absolute power difference.
Her voice stopped abruptly.
A translucent black soul, a mixture of darkness, temptation, and pain, was forcibly extracted from her body by Wu Heng.
Lilith's physical body quickly withered and decayed, eventually turning into a skin that floated in the pool of filthy blood.
Wu Heng didn't even glance at it, focusing instead on the powerful demonic soul in his hand.
Under his control, the tentacles, like the most precise carving knives, began to process Lilith's soul.
Strip away those chaotic, painful memories and useless impurities.
Ultimately, it was compressed, shaped, and solidified into a soul key about the length of a finger, entirely black, with intricate demonic patterns naturally formed on its surface.
Holding the Soul Key, Wu Heng easily found the hidden entrance to the third underground level.
The heavy stone door, engraved with a curse, slowly opened inward with a muffled thud after sensing the presence of Lilith's soul aura emanating from the key.
Behind the door was a gloomy passageway leading downwards.
The walls on both sides are inlaid with skull lamps that emit a ghastly green light.
The passageway was riddled with traps: an ice curse that could instantly freeze the soul, an illusionary barrier that could incite inner fear, and a poisonous mist that could corrode the very source of energy.
However, Wu Heng's powerful perception detected these things in advance and allowed him to easily bypass them.
At the end of the passage lies a vast underground space.
This place is more like a giant prison for the soul.
Countless transparent cages, emitting a faint glow, floated in mid-air, imprisoning souls of various shapes and sizes.
There are twisted and roaring demons, there are monsters burning with hellfire but unable to break free, and even more human souls with blank faces or wailing in pain.
The air was thick with despair, pain, and fear.
This is the storage room that Lilith uses to absorb negative emotions, torment enemies, or perform certain dark rituals.
Wu Heng's gaze swept quickly across the cages, seemingly searching for a specific target. (End of Chapter)
