Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

As a professional in spatial abilities, Jia Long quickly understood the mystery behind it.

However, the others were not as professional as him, and they were all shocked by the old Taoist's skills. There were faint sounds of praise coming from the Jade Void side, while the fighters from the Biyou side were all horrified.

The astonished looks on everyone's faces almost made Jia Long laugh. He never expected that a mere interdimensional vortex could have such an earth-shattering moment.

But thinking about it, I understand.

The concepts of fighting techniques in the East and West are different after all, and the Dao Domain Fighter World is very closed off. It's normal that they haven't seen such an imported concept as the Other Dimension. It's like how people in the past saw matches and cars. Just because they haven't seen them doesn't mean they can't create them.

A strange vortex phantom, a massive diagram of two energies.

Just as everyone was shocked by Taiqing's extraordinary abilities, the old Taoist priest bowed to the foot of the tower with a hint of pride.

"Fellow Daoists, the gates of hell have been opened. Please come forward if you are the chosen ones."

"Humph!"

With an annoyed snort, the three saints, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird, led Jia Long, Chang'e, and Wei Yueyan onto the altar.

"This Demon-Suppressing Tower is actually forged from bones?"

Upon reaching the altar, Jia Long realized that the entire tower-shaped altar was constructed entirely of bones, with countless skeletons piled up, giving it a chilling and eerie feel.

No wonder it's called the Gates of Hell!

Moreover, the vortex that Taiqing had just opened was no ordinary vortex. As Jia Long approached, he discovered that it was quite different from his own dimensional vortex. It seemed to contain a strange magical power that made people feel dizzy and mesmerized just by looking at it.

"The vortex should indeed be a portal to another dimension. This eerie feeling clearly comes from the space it leads to. What kind of place is this?"

Just as Jia Long was wondering, on the other side, the five immortal warriors of Yu Xu also ascended the altar and stood beside Tai Qing, their gazes coldly fixed on Bi You.

Upon seeing this, Biyou and the others immediately glared back coldly.

Just as their eyes clashed, Taiqing spoke again leisurely:

"Fellow Daoists of Biyou, we cooperate once every ten years. I'm sure you all know very well which places are accessible and which are not. Below the third level of the Demon Suppression Tower are forbidden areas that humans cannot set foot in."

So, the rules are the same as in previous years: the first and second levels are handled by the younger generation, while the dangerous third level will be the responsibility of the five of us old guys…

In short, our task is simply to reinforce the top three floors to prevent the evil spirits from escaping. We hope everyone will set aside prejudices and cooperate sincerely. At the same time, we wish our alliance between Jade Void and Biyou to last forever!

"Yes, may our friendship last forever!"

Taiqing and Qinglong clasped hands together, the two old men with wishes on their faces, their palms clenching so tightly they made a cracking sound.

At the same time, as if in a ritual, the five warriors of Yuxu also extended their hands to Jia Long and the others, and their ten hands clasped together firmly.

However, the five warriors of Yuxu were far less reserved than Taiqing.

Their faces were full of provocation.

Nezha, especially, who was facing off against Jia Long, sneered repeatedly: "Kang Jinlong, I'll be waiting for you inside. Don't die at the hands of evil spirits."

Jia Long smiled faintly upon hearing this: "Don't worry, even if you didn't say anything, I would still come looking for you. Besides, the ring on your hand is quite nice."

Nezha was surprised to hear this: "What? You can also see that it's extraordinary?"

Jia Long nodded: "Yes, I can smell the thief on it!"

"?!"

After a brief verbal exchange, both sides stepped into the vortex passage.

As Jia Long, Chang'e, and Wei Yueyan entered, Qinglong, who was guarding one side, solemnly reminded them: "The three of you will be facing the four of them, so be careful!"

In this trip to the Demon Suppression Tower, Biyou's side is slightly stronger than Yuxu's on the third floor. After all, Qinglong, Baihu, and Zhuque are facing Taiqing and Yuqing in a three-on-two situation, but they are far inferior to their opponents in terms of personnel on the first and second floors.

Three against four, no talk.

Jia Long, Chang'e, and Wei Yueyan are all young people under twenty years old, while on the Jade Void side, only Yang Jian and Nezha are of that age. Guang Cheng and Ju Liu are in their thirties or forties and are powerful figures who have been famous in the Dao Domain for a long time.

"Don't worry, senior. My goal is not just the first and second floors."

"?!"

Just as Qinglong was surprised, Jialong had already stepped into the vortex with his head held high. As Jialong stepped in, the strange vortex also cracked open with a dark spatial rift.

"Demon Suppression Tower, here I come!"

Jia Long flashed into the darkness and disappeared.

After Jia Long's figure disappeared, the spacetime rift slowly closed, and the eerie vortex returned to its previous state, waiting for the next person to enter.

……

Darkness, endless darkness.

Stillness, a deathly stillness.

Jia Long originally thought that the other side of the dimensional vortex was the vast world inside the Demon Suppression Tower, just like when he entered the spacetime turbulence before, he could reach his destination in the blink of an eye.

However, he was wrong.

The vortex was filled with endless darkness, making him feel as if he were wandering and drifting in a time of death.

What he found even more unbearable was that time was gradually slowing down, as if it were freezing at ten or a hundred times the speed. Jia Long could clearly feel his movements slowing down, and even his thoughts were slowing down.

Is this what death feels like?

Could it be that the Demon Suppression Tower, which imprisons the Demon Star in the comics and is incredibly mysterious throughout the Hades myth, was actually built in the legendary underworld?

Anyone without an eighth sense will die if they step inside?

How can this be? !

But now this feeling is truly like being in hell.

Although this is not the spacetime turbulence that Jia Long is familiar with, with his understanding of spacetime far beyond that of ordinary people, he can roughly judge what kind of spacetime he is in.

In Eastern terms, the past and present are called time, and heaven and earth and the four directions are called space.

In Western terms, time and space are a seemingly independent but actually complementary and unified whole.

In other words, as the space we are in changes, time also changes.

That's why there's the saying that one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth, and also the saying that one day on earth is equivalent to one year in hell.

In other words, time flows hundreds of times slower in the underworld than in the mortal realm. Living there for a year is equivalent to living one day in the mortal realm. At this moment, Jia Long is experiencing the temporal and spatial tension between the two realms with his own body.

This kind of temporal and spatial tug-of-war is unbearable for those without the protection of the Eight Senses Realm; they are very likely to have their souls torn apart and fall into true death.

Fortunately, the death space-time in the Demon Suppression Tower seemed to be slightly different. Jia Long did not feel his soul being torn apart; he could only feel intense torment.

In short.

He didn't know how long he had been drifting, but just when Jia Long felt his body and mind sluggish and his IQ was about to drop, a sudden, earth-shaking tremor came.

Immediately, Jia Long found that his body and mind had returned to normal, and his vision had cleared.

The world seemed to change all of a sudden.

The real Demon-Suppressing Tower has arrived!

Chapter 223 Demon Star! The World Inside the Demon Suppression Tower (Part 2)

Jia Long felt as if he had died once.

This feeling of being completely out of control in the space-time of death made his heart pound with fear.

Fortunately, the Demon Suppression Tower is not the real underworld.

Otherwise, in a state of complete loss of control of his mind and body, even if he had a powerful ability like the other-dimensional space, he would not be able to use it at all and would not be able to return to the world alive.

"I will never go to the underworld until I awaken the eighth sense, Alaya consciousness..."

With this understanding in mind, Jia Long looked at where he was standing.

"This place really feels like the underworld!"

Jia Long stood on a small mountain peak, surrounded by thick fog and a deathly atmosphere. The air was filled with a nauseating stench of decay, somewhat similar to the feeling of standing amidst a pile of corpses.

Jia Long looked up at the sky again and saw that it was a vast, dark sky without any light. Not only was there no sun, but there was also no moon or stars. It was as if it were a world without any light source.

But he could still see everything clearly in front of him.

"No light, no visibility?! This completely violates the laws of nature; such a bizarre phenomenon could only exist in the underworld ruled by Hades!"

Jia Long stood on what appeared to be a mountain of decaying bones, looked up and gazed around at the distant horizon. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw an even stranger scene to the west.

A magnificent river, as radiant as flowing gold, rises from one side of the world, like a great arc traversing the entire world, flying towards an unknown depth.

"Water flows uphill?! Could this river be the legendary River Styx, known in the East as the River of Three Crossings, the source of the Yellow Springs?"

Because of the great distance, Jia Long could not witness the magnificent sight of the Sanzu River rushing away, but he knew that the Sanzu River led to the three final destinations that all the dead in the underworld longed for.

New life, destruction, and eternal damnation!

This is also the origin of the name Sanzu River. In the manga, Seiya and Shun almost fell into this river forever.

Fortunately, Shun was possessed by Hades and was able to escape.

very dangerous!

Jia Long instinctively felt that he should stay away from the River Styx, and at the same time, he gained a new understanding of the world inside the Demon Suppression Tower.

He originally thought that entering the Demon Suppression Tower was just like running a dungeon, but now it has turned into a trip to the underworld, and it seems to be the underworld of the East.

"Where are the sealed evil spirits? Where are the demon stars? Where are Chang'e and Wei Yueyan?"

The world inside the Demon Suppression Tower was too bizarre, completely disrupting Jia Long's original plan.

Originally, Jia Long thought that the Demon Suppression Tower was a large prison similar to another dimension. Even if the demon stars were alive and kicking, he could quickly clear the second level with his strength. Once he had accumulated enough natural power, he would go to the third level to seal the wild god there.

But now they have arrived in a real world that resembles the underworld.

This undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty for Jia Long to realize his plan.

He wanted to accumulate the power of nature, so he first had to find the Demon Stars. This inner world of the tower was so big, who knew where these guys were hiding?

However, there are also advantages...

He no longer needed to be reserved; in this environment, even if he blasted the sky with a galactic explosion, no one would notice him.

It's no big deal if they notice, just kill them!

Furthermore, if the goal of the Underworld Army and the Jiuli Clan is the Demon Suppression Tower, this environment would be advantageous for him to maneuver against them. If they dare to come in, he would not be afraid even if he faced multiple opponents.
