Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 348 Purgatory on Earth
"Huh? The blood on the ground is flowing, heading in one direction," Lan Xin exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Fan put away the divine medicine and looked back. Sure enough, the blood of the people he had just killed was converging and flowing in one direction.

"Ah, how could this happen?!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out. Wang Chengyu, who was now only half a body, was bound to the ground, his blood gushing out and seeping into the stone wall.

That area happened to be the place where Feng Xinglie was rescued and disappeared.

Soon, the group watched helplessly as he struggled on the ground, but to no avail; his body withered and his flesh dried up.

The scene was terrifying. They opened their eyes wide and quickly retreated, moving away from the blood-sucking demonic barrier.

"boom!"

Some people tried to attack the stone wall to stop it, but the magic passed right through and disappeared.

“No, there’s another space behind the stone wall; it’s an illusion!” said the young master of the Wei family, his pupils flashing with mysterious runes, dazzlingly bright.

After hesitating for a moment, he rushed in, with the fairy of the Tuogu family following him, advancing and retreating together.

Like the Wei family, the Tuogu family is one of the three great immortal families in the Imperial City. Compared to Lin Fan and his group, the two of them are just a small group.

"Brother-in-law, should we follow them and take a look?" Xu Cheng asked, feeling uneasy, relying on Lin Fan as his pillar of support.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and finally chose to walk towards the stone wall, but he was very cautious and put on a set of black gold armor that was covered with cracks.

This was taken from the corpse of a true immortal who had transformed into a dragon. Although its appearance was damaged, its defensive power was still superb, making it a rare treasure.

"Brother, you should go into the Qiankun Bag first. The road ahead might be dangerous." Lin Fan put away the Qingyang Heavenly God, deciding not to let him take any more risks.

Because no one knew what lay behind the stone wall, and Feng Xinglie's disappearance made him very uneasy.

"Brother-in-law, and me too..." Lan Xin's big eyes sparkled, her voice sweet, as she clung to Lin Fan's arm and acted coquettishly.

Lin Fan glanced at her, then put her into his Qiankun bag, but didn't seal it completely, leaving an opening in case of any accidents.

"Brother-in-law..."

Xu Chengdao grinned, about to speak, but was glared at back by Lin Fan.

"It's understandable that she's a weakling with divine fire, but you're a celestial being, a prince of the Xu family!"

After saying this, Lin Fan grasped the Human Emperor Banner and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc in his hands before striding into the world behind the stone wall.

As soon as they entered, a wild and untamed aura rushed towards them, as if the two had returned to the primordial era when the world was first created.

As far as the eye can see, the land is desolate and stretches to the horizon, with grayness being its eternal theme.

Here, the darkness was boundless, with only some ribbons of black mist swirling around, making it look like a cold, demonic land.

"How strange, why would the Immortal Palace hide such a world?" Xu Chengdao peeked out from behind Lin Fan to examine it.

"Shh!"

Lin Fan did not stop. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly moved forward in one direction, leaving afterimages and distorting the void.

At this moment, he realized that the other horn of the divine plate was nearby, so he hurriedly rushed to the end of the earth.

Upon reaching the horizon, a crimson mist enveloped the land, exuding an indescribable eerie feeling.

In addition, there are mountains here, one after another, all shrouded in mist, as if draped in a light veil.

Unlike the vast plains I had before, this place has a strong sense of discontinuity; the mountains seem to appear out of nowhere, which makes me feel quite uncomfortable.

"It's so oppressive, brother-in-law. What if some invincible demon suddenly jumps out and eats us all?"

Lan Xin peered into the distance from the opening of the Qiankun Bag, feeling a pang of unease.

Lin Fan remained silent, opening his Heavenly Eye to observe. He noticed something unusual: runes were rising from the depths of the mountains, shimmering with iridescent light. At the same time, the young master of the Wei family and the young lady of the Tuogu family were also present. They seemed to have seen something, and instantly let out a scream.

"Eighth Ancestor!"

"Uncle!"

As Lin Fan approached, his pupils contracted, and the sight was horrifying. The cliffs were covered with skeletons, and blood was dripping from them.

Upon careful sensing, the lowest level among these people was at the Divine Fire realm, while the highest was at the level of a sect leader. There were tens of thousands of corpses.

Lin Fan's expression changed. He recognized some of them from the ancient city; some were knights, some were rogue cultivators, and others were scions of longevity families.

Without exception, their deaths were all gruesome, as if they had been sacrificed, and their blood gathered at a Taoist altar.

"It's terrifying, a living hell!" Qingyang, the Heavenly God, trembled as he observed from the opening of his Qiankun Bag, seeing everything clearly.

"Sixth Uncle!" Xu Chengdao shouted, stepping out from behind Lin Fan. He stared at the skeleton on a cliff, a look of sorrow on his face.

Not only him, but Lan Xin's eyes also reddened instantly. She saw a respected elder die there, and tears streamed down her face.

Xu Chengdao couldn't bear it any longer. His uncle and clansmen were lying dead in the wilderness, hanging there as sacrifices. He had to rush over and rescue them.

"Don't go there, it's eerie!" Lin Fan grabbed him, his expression grave.

"Don't stop me. As a prince of the Xu family, how can I stand by and watch the bones of my clansmen be humiliated?"

Xu Chengdao was indignant and hot-blooded, showing none of the fear and caution he had shown before, and instead displayed the demeanor of a prince.

But the next moment, before he had taken more than a few steps, he turned back and said telepathically, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you pulling me back anymore? Are you really watching me go to my death?"

Lin Fan was dumbfounded. Good heavens, this prince of the Xu family was all bark and no bite on the surface, but in reality he was terrified. If you actually let him go, he would be completely deflated.

"Quick...go..."

Suddenly, a faint voice came from the cliff. The group looked over and saw that it was a renowned elder from the Tuoshi family speaking.

His body was withered, all his essence and blood had been drained, leaving only skin and bones. He could still transmit his voice, but it was only his last bit of obsession that kept him going.

"boom!"

However, before they could ask any further questions, the entire mountain range shook, runes flickered, and an eerie red mist filled the air, reeking of blood.

"Ow..."

The next moment, the altar in the center of the mountain collapsed, and the wailing of ten thousand ghosts resounded, shrill and ear-piercing, terrifying to the soul.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Outside the mountains, everyone was shocked and retreated rapidly, their scalps tingling and their bodies feeling chilled. The aura was terrifying.

At that moment, a pool appeared on the cracked platform, but it was not filled with divine liquid, but with endless blood.

A crimson light shot into the sky, eerily beautiful, staining the heavens and earth red, distorting the void, and sending chills down one's spine.

"I feel like my soul is being sucked in just one look."

They were all taken aback. Although the pool was old and weathered, it actually contained traces of celestial energy within the blood.

Most importantly, they also saw two other people beside the blood pool: an unfamiliar old man and Feng Xinglie.

"You escaped here?" Lin Fan frowned, sensing something was wrong, and subconsciously tightened his grip on the chaotic magic artifact in his sleeve.

"Heh heh, you're all doomed. You'll become sacrifices in the blood pool, just like these people!"

The wind was fierce and chilling, filled with murderous intent, making everyone's heart pound and their hair stand on end.
