After the Skyfall

Chapter 784: Deep into the World of Hell

Seeing that Yang Jian agreed, Li Yi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the key to his mother's resurrection. If he refuses, he has no choice but to accept this cruel reality. Fortunately, Yang Jian agreed.

"I will give you your mother's soul, and then I will send you back to the present time. After everything is over, you will cross the border and leave. Don't come to Dachang City again."

Yang Jian talked as he walked, and a road appeared in front of him.

This road is as red as blood, with no end in sight. It seems to connect the past and the future. Moreover, in front of this road, it is filled with coldness and terror, as if it is leading Li Yi into the abyss of hell.

"You are afraid that the uncertainty of the cross-border people will affect your future, right?" Li Yi said immediately: "That's why you want to reverse time and space and come from the future to meet me now. In other words, you are protecting your past."

"You are right, so I will nip in the bud any signs of instability as early as possible. This is not selfish or cruel, but for the future of the entire world." Yang Jian walked calmly along the scarlet path.

Li Yi followed behind. He felt a cold force distorting time and space, and he was leaving this world. However, he remained calm and continued to ask: "If that's the case, why didn't you show up when I first crossed the border and kill all of our cross-border team? Wouldn't that be better?"

"You are a participant." Yang Jian simply replied.

"So that's how it is. It's only because you and I met at the Ghost Post Office that you didn't reverse time and space to get rid of me. You are really cautious." Li Yi said.

"You should understand the principle of the butterfly effect." Yang Jian said.

"I haven't received much education, and I don't have a high level of education, so I don't know much about some scientific principles," said Li Yi.

"If that's the case, I won't explain." Yang Jian continued to walk forward.

At this time, everything around had undergone tremendous changes. Li Yi was no longer by the river, but had walked into a broken city. The city was actually burning, and a strange flame had ignited the place.

The air was filled with a burnt smell, and from time to time there were shrill screams and blood-curdling wails.

Li Yi saw all kinds of people appearing on the streets around him.

These people were covered in black, as if they were burnt, and in a distorted state. Some of them opened their mouths in pain, some stretched their hands to the sky as if wanting salvation, and some lay on the ground in a crawling posture as if wanting to get away from this burning city.

Li Yi stared at one of the charred human figures.

suddenly.

The dark humanoid head twisted with a creaking sound, and then a resentful and cold eye was revealed, staring at Li Yi.

But soon.

A flame suddenly burst out from the eyeball, quickly burning it into a charred state.

"They are still alive even after being burnt like this." Li Yi's face changed: "It seems that they are not human, but ghosts."

look around.

This burning city is huge, with no end in sight. Countless evil spirits are burned by the flames and trapped here, as if they have fallen into hell and can never leave.

Yang Jian continued to move forward.

The burning city quickly disappeared from sight, replaced by a cold lake. The scarlet path spanned across the endless lake like a floating bridge.

Although everything seemed calm, Li Yi saw countless people submerged under the lake. These people were soaked in the water, motionless, like a cold corpse.

But no matter how many years have passed, the corpses in the lake have not changed at all. They have not rotted or floated up. Instead, they are frozen in the water forever.

"Is the thing soaking in the water also an evil ghost?" Li Yi was secretly shocked.

How many evil ghosts are there in this world? If these ghosts were not trapped here, but appeared in reality, it would be creepy just to think about it.

However, as he continued walking forward, the surrounding scenery changed again. This time, Li Yi came to a wilderness again.

This wilderness also has no boundaries, with no end in sight. However, countless swords stand in this wilderness. These swords are densely packed, more dense and lush than weeds, and fill every corner of this wilderness.

There are many strange figures among them, wandering in the wilderness, but as soon as they come into contact with the big knife, their bodies will be torn into two halves. If the mutilated bodies continue to move, they will be cut into two halves again, until the bodies are shattered and can no longer move.

But Li Yi saw that as time passed, those motionless and mutilated corpses began to wriggle again, attracted by an incomprehensible force, pieced together again, and then stood up again. However, when those recovered figures wandered again, they would once again touch the big knife standing in the wilderness and be cut in half again.

This cycle will never end.

"There are not countless knives, but only one knife. A supernatural power has affected the space here, causing this knife to appear in every corner." After Li Yi continued to observe, he discovered an astonishing fact.

It seems that everything here was not formed naturally, but was carefully built by humans, with the purpose of trapping those immortal evil spirits here.

Moreover, each place is equivalent to a layer of space. Even if there are some fish that escape the burning city, they will fall into the bottomless lake. If there are evil spirits coming out of the lake, they will have to go through the wilderness full of swords. With so many cages linked together, even after hundreds of years, it is not certain that any evil spirit will be able to escape from these cages.

"What is this place? Why are so many evil spirits imprisoned here?" Li Yi asked.

"This is hell." Yang Jian, who was walking in front, just replied coldly.

Hell?
Li Yi's heart shuddered. This place was indeed like hell.

As he continued to move forward, he passed through layer after layer of hell. He did not count them, but there were at least a dozen layers. Moreover, the deeper he went into hell, the fewer evil spirits were imprisoned there, but correspondingly, the more terrifying those evil spirits were.

Fortunately, Li Yi is a cultivator and is not that afraid of these weird things. If he were an ordinary person, he would have fainted from fright. How could he dare to walk in this hell-like place?

The red path under his feet seemed to ensure his safety. Li Yi walked through more than a dozen levels of hell without being attacked by evil spirits, which made the cracked short stick in his hand useless.

soon.

Yang Jian in front stopped and the red path came to an end.

This is a dark and dead world. Although there is a sky, earth, roads and buildings, it is lifeless and deserted, as if it is a forgotten place.

"We're here. Please wait here for a moment. I will guide your mother's soul over here." Yang Jian said, and without waiting for Li Yi to agree, his figure suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, it seemed that Li Yi was the only one left in this dead world.

He held a short stick in his hand, alert to his surroundings, and at the same time, he snapped his fingers and his magic power turned into layers of large nets, covering an area of ​​dozens of kilometers. During this period, anything that moved within the range of the magic power would be accurately sensed by Li Yi.

In a world full of supernatural things, Li Yi will not be careless at all.

However, he soon sensed signs of human activities in a dilapidated village more than ten kilometers away. This made Li Yi realize that even in such a place there were evil spirits.

It’s just that everything here is isolated from hell, so people in reality are not affected.

"Is this the truth of World No. 36?" Li Yi thought to himself.

If that's the case, it would be too terrifying. It's no different from living on a bomb all day long. Who knows when hell will collapse and those evil spirits that are blocked and imprisoned will appear.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long in this desperate world.

After a while, something suddenly appeared beside me out of nowhere.

It was a black kitten, but in Li Yi's opinion, it was not just an ordinary cat. A soul was attached to the kitten, and his eyes could see the soul light blooming on the kitten.

"Is this my mother?" Li Yi had an inexplicable feeling.

The black kitten was also looking at Li Yi at this moment, with a look of disbelief in its eyes.
