I Save The World In A Doomsday Text Game
Chapter 497-1: The Danger-Ridden Evil-Execution Hall, the Yin-Yang Rotation Jade (1)
After stealing the Passage Ordination Permit, Lin Xun immediately rushed to the Wondrous Treasure Hall and Wondrous Dharma Hall to snatch treasures and cultivation methods.
Unfortunately, the White Elephant Demon’s authority was not that high either. For those treasures sealed behind great restrictions, he could only look at them and not take them. He swiftly grabbed a few treasures and cultivation methods that looked relatively precious, then immediately hurried to the Evil-Execution Hall.
The moment he arrived at the entrance to the Evil-Execution Hall, he saw the White Elephant Demon charging out in a rage.
Without a word, Lin Xun immediately hid inside. Entering the Evil-Execution Hall required the authority of the Passage Ordination Permit, and now that the White Elephant Demon had lost the permit, even if it discovered that he had hidden himself in the Evil-Execution Hall, it could only glare outside helplessly.
However, the Evil-Execution Hall was absolutely not a refuge. The dangers within were even worse than facing the White Elephant Demon directly.
Inside the Hall of All Evil stood a Bodhisattva statue. The moment Lin Xun’s eyes met the idol’s eyes, he was dragged into the dangerous illusion of Avici Hell…
[…]
[You have only just barely avoided the blade strike behind you and stabbed to death a ferocious-looking Asura when five steel forks thrust toward you together from the front!]
[You swing the Demon-Suppressing Evil-Subduing Great Vajra Pestle in your hands with all your might to block, only to feel a tremendous force smash into you. Your throat turns sweet and your chest feels stifled, forcing you back several steps.]
[The moment you retreat, your spine goes numb, and two icy blades seize the chance to stab into your back!]
[You have suffered slight injuries!]
[You roar in anger, and the vajra pestle in your hand instantly transforms into a spear over ten meters long. Twisting your waist and swinging your arm, you sweep it out horizontally!]
[This savage strike cuts more than ten monsters around you in half at the waist. Their mangled corpses turn into specks of black light and dissipate.]
[At the same time, black qi gathers on the distant ground, and more than ten Asuras claw their way up from underground, faces full of malice as they join the encirclement assaulting you…]
[You lift your eyes and see enemies everywhere. These one hundred and eight Asuras have no fleshly bodies and no souls. They can revive again and again endlessly. Even though you have already killed quite a few enemies, their numbers have not decreased by a single one.]
[The vajra pestle in your hands flashes with treasure light as Compassionate Form activates!]
[You consume a large amount of stamina, and your slight injuries are completely healed!]
[You take a deep breath and once again swing the vajra pestle as you throw yourself forward…]
These hundred plus Asuras were not only powerful, they also could not be exterminated no matter how many times they were killed. If not for the Child of Evil possessing infinite stamina, allowing him to continually tank the enemy’s attacks while using the weapon trait to restore HP at no cost, his final outcome here would probably be to die of sheer exhaustion.
He tried to use poison against poison, employing the Indigo Spirit’s illusion arts to make the enemies kill one another. Most likely because the illusion within the Evil-Execution Hall was of a higher tier than the Indigo Spirit’s Upside-Down Bewildering City / Illusory Kingdom, this skill did not take effect.
Lin Xun used Analysis Authority to analyze how to break the situation. The answer he got was that killing the monsters was useless. He could only hold out with all his strength, and once he endured for a certain amount of time, the illusion would change.
Although the weapon trait Compassionate Form could heal him at no cost, this trait had a certain cooldown time. The Child of Evil had to go all out to maneuver against the enemies in order to keep HP within a safe range.
The moment he failed to keep that balance and made even the slightest mistake, he would have to activate the Bee Queen Visage and use the Emerald Saint’s healing skill to drag his HP back to the safety line, lest he be instantly killed by concentrated fire.
But the little dragonkin did not have infinite energy. Ancient Dragon Power would decrease every time it was used. Although it looked as if he could still hold out for a long time, once the little dragonkin’s Ancient Dragon Power was exhausted, the Child of Evil would no longer have even the tiniest margin for error.
This Evil-Execution Hall is really disgustingly obnoxious. Just how long do I have to hold out before the illusion ends?
[…]
[While you are desperately fighting, the blurred, indistinct shouting of the White Elephant Demon once again rings faintly in your ears…]
[Dragon demon! Are you still not coming out? Are you waiting to die in there?!] 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
[This Evil-Execution Hall is specially used by the Bodhisattva to torment and execute evildoers. The initial one hundred and eight Asuras only torment your fleshly body. Once you survive this ordeal, there will be even worse things afterward…]
[At that point, what will be damaged will not merely be your fleshly body. Your soul will also be continually worn down in the fierce fighting, until in the end it disperses entirely!]
[If not for the Bodhisattva’s Dharma decree, it would dearly love for you to die in there right now. If you have any sense, then come out immediately!]
[Gritting your teeth, you knock aside an enemy’s strike and, seizing a brief opening, roar back, Idiot! All you know how to do is yell for me to come out. Why don’t you tell me how to get out first?!]
[The moment you lose focus to shout, the surrounding Asuras strike you together, leaving you coughing up blood again and again…]
[At this moment, not much time has passed since the last use of Compassionate Form. You cannot activate this weapon trait again.]
[You immediately move your thoughts and activate the Bee Queen Visage!]
[A green figure appears behind you. It chants the Hymn of Life, and specks of emerald light merge into your body, giving your spirit a jolt and restoring your injuries!]
[Seeing this, the Asuras immediately direct all their weapons toward the green figure behind you, frightening you into instantly withdrawing the consciousness body of the Emerald Saint…]
[Outside the Evil-Execution Hall, when the White Elephant Demon hears your enraged shout, and hears that before you had respectfully called it Senior Brother, yet now are calling it an idiot, it becomes so angry that its face flushes red, wishing it could charge into the Evil-Execution Hall at once and smash you with two hammer blows!]
[But after hearing the meaning in your words clearly, it freezes and thinks to itself, Usually, the Evil-Execution Hall holds evildoers until their souls are scattered. Only when imprisoning certain disciples who have committed mistakes does the Bodhisattva remove the illusion halfway through and spare their lives, allowing the disciples to crawl and stumble out while weeping and shouting.]
[Eh? How exactly did the Bodhisattva remove the illusion again? It vaguely cannot remember…]
[The White Elephant Demon scratches its head, but after a long while still cannot remember how to dispel the illusion within the Evil-Execution Hall.]
[As it is struggling to remember, your voice comes from within the hall once more…]
[Idiot, and at a time like this you are still thinking about personal grudges?!]
[If you die in the Evil-Execution Hall, then when the Bodhisattva returns, the White Elephant Demon not only will have failed to complete the Bodhisattva’s Dharma decree, it will also have had the Bodhisattva’s favorite strange dragon demon executed!]
[You bet that the Bodhisattva will definitely lock it in the Evil-Execution Hall too, and keep it there until its soul is completely destroyed!]
[The White Elephant Demon is just about to open its mouth in argument, wanting to say it is not intentionally stalling for time, only that it simply cannot remember for the moment. But recalling how much the Bodhisattva likes you, if it truly lets you remain in the Evil-Execution Hall until your soul is dispersed, then its fate will likely be no better than yours.]
[With that thought, the White Elephant Demon becomes extremely anxious. Yet the more anxious it becomes, the more its mind feels like a muddled paste, unable to remember anything at all.]
[Just as the White Elephant Demon is leaping about in panic, inside the hall you discover that as time passes, the illusion begins to change…]
[All one hundred and eight Asuras simultaneously halt their attacks and stare at you while smiling silently. Their eerie smiles and eyes filled with malice make your entire body feel deeply uncomfortable.]
[Suddenly, all of their bodies shatter, turning into endless black qi that gathers together into a towering and ferocious Six-Armed Asura King!]
[It holds six different weapons: a monk’s blade, a Dharma sword, a long spear, a battle halberd, a giant axe, and a heavy hammer. Its tall, muscular body is so colossal that even if you jump, you can only barely reach the bend of its knee…]
[The Six-Armed Asura King bends down and slashes at you with its sword. The blade of that gigantic Dharma sword tears through the air, erupting with a piercing shriek…]
[You roar in anger, and the Demon-Suppressing Evil-Subduing Great Vajra Pestle in your hands transforms into a long spear. Gripping the shaft with both hands, you meet the earth-shaking blow head-on!]
[With a thunderous crash, broken stones fly everywhere. Your vision goes black, and you are smashed into the ground by the tremendous force!]
[You have suffered extremely serious injuries!]
