My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 288 - 172: The Desperate Dead-End! Sealed Artifact!
The group was sucked into the inner world.
Everyone felt a shudder before being transported to a strange place.
In the dim world, the light was unclear. Faintly visible were reddish-brown mountains, undulating across a barren earth.
In the distant sky, a giant tumor-like heart hanging far away.
Around the heart, blood mist rolled. The atmosphere was eerie, oppressive, making people uneasy.
"Oh my god, this is... what is this?!"
Suddenly, a desperate exclamation rang in their ears, someone raised a hand pointing ahead.
The group followed the sound, immediately their faces turned pale, despair began to rapidly spread, fear enveloped everyone's heart.
Looking ahead, on the ground were mountains of bones. All they saw was eerie ghostly fire, as if they had come to Hell.
A giant stone staircase led from the ground to the sky, like a Celestial Ladder. It extended toward the evil heart in the sky, standing a full thousand meters high, its end nowhere in sight.
Each step was two or three meters high, clearly not designed for humans.
The ladder was not a straight line but twisted and turned, connecting nine pyramid-like massive ancient palaces, each taller than the last, grand and imposing.
And that evil heart was situated atop the ninth palace, like a king above, overseeing all.
This scene, how terrifying?
Everyone present was stunned, unsure how to react.
Boom!!
Suddenly, the heart swelled, pulsing violently as if it were beating, bursting out a dense blood-red aura. The blood wave centered around the heart, spreading in a circle.
Red energy tides roared past hundreds of meters above the crowd, sweeping out with tremendous momentum, thunderous and startling.
However, a little of the wave's aftermath still reached the crowd.
"Ah!"
Among the crowd, several students immediately bled from the seven orifices, collapsed unconscious, severely polluted by soul, critically injured and dying.
But this wasn't the most desperate part.
When the blood-red energy spread like a tide to the edges of the space, like waves hitting rocks, it unexpectedly surged back from the distant ground at even faster speed and greater momentum, rushing toward the crowd to engulf and drown them.
Where the blood-colored energy passed, heaven and earth collapsed, the void it traversed twisted and compressed inch by inch, seemingly able to disintegrate all matter, extremely terrifying.
"Damn it, what kind of cursed place is this?!"
"It's over, I'm going to die!"
"Run, getting caught is game over!"
"Old Lu, Wuer, Wei'Er classmate, quickly think of a way!"
...
The crowd exclaimed, unable to resist screaming.
Death approached.
No one could remain calm.
"Don't panic, let's move that way." Lu Xun secretly used the Pupil of Illusion Breaking to glance around, then pointed at the stone steps, saying to everyone, "Once we reach the steps, we can avoid the blood tide, no delay, let's move now."
The blood-colored energy tide rolled in from the horizon thousands of meters away, overwhelming, engulfing everything.
According to the Pupil of Illusion Breaking's judgment, the only safe area in the entire space was that Celestial Ladder.
Hearing this, everyone hesitated.
Climbing the Celestial Ladder... doesn't it mean getting closer to that evil heart?
That is the source of chaos, the most terrifying existence in the rift.
That thing is something to avoid at all costs; the closer you get to it, the worse the mental pollution, even fatal.
Seeing this, Wuer showed no hesitation, shouted:
"If you want to survive, listen to Brother Lu. Move!"
Without saying another word, he immediately summoned Evil Spirits and Skeleton Warriors, carried the severely injured, and charged toward the Celestial Ladder.
That blood tide can harm soul bodies, even the Undead Race's voiding has no effect, can't withstand it.
Once engulfed, even King-level creatures will be instantaneously annihilated, devoured completely...let alone these people present.
"I just felt that a large rift wouldn't be so simple, it's Saint King Level difficulty, won't let us survive easily."
Wei'Er sighed.
Previously in the outer world, the group braved mountains and rivers, crossed bridges, and finally reached the safe zone. They thought they had escaped danger, transitioning to safety.
Instead, they suddenly changed maps, were sucked into the inner world, instantly putting everyone in a ten-death-no-survival dead-end.
Can't play can't cheat? Too outrageous!
"One step at a time, there's no other option now." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
She left a sentence to the crowd, then turned and moved forward with Lu Xun and Wuer.
The crowd, desperate and helpless, had no choice but to follow.
What is a true dead-end?
It's when you know there's a high chance the path ahead is also a dead-end, yet you have no choice but to step on it, surviving as long as you can.
The Celestial Ladder wasn't far from the group.
After sprinting for a dozen seconds, everyone climbed up the first stone step.
They looked toward the distance, the blood tide approaching rapidly from the horizon, overwhelming.
In an instant, it rushed in front.
What does it feel like to be hit in the face by a tsunami hundreds of meters high?
Many were so scared they closed their eyes, thinking they were doomed.
But unexpectedly, as the blood wave approached the Celestial Ladder, it was blocked and bounced back by an invisible barrier.
They automatically diverged, bypassing the stone steps, passing by without disturbing the Celestial Ladder.
Like an inviolable divine realm, a sacred place.
