Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Chapter 121 The Mystery of the Treasure Pavilion

Inside the treasure house of the underworld, one thought it was a museum filled with exquisite items. However, after Ying Li entered, he discovered that it was also a dark abyss where he could not see anything.

The only thing that was clear was the increasingly strong resonance of the Phantom Sword.

He took a few steps towards the direction of resonance, and the dark space around him suddenly became bright, allowing him to see exhibition stands of items of different specifications in all directions.

It was at this moment that countless information suddenly flashed through his mind, and the content was exactly about these various rare treasures. After a quick glance, the information suddenly disappeared as if he had been brainwashed.

Ying Li still remembered where these items were placed. He tried to reach out and grab them, but when he stretched his arms to the limit, he found nothing. It was really strange.

He took a few more tentative steps, and the previous situation continued to happen. All kinds of treasures and all their information flashed in his mind and before his eyes, and then his confidence quickly dissipated.

Unable to suppress his curiosity and desire to explore, he decided to try further and arrived at a new area. The moment the picture flashed by, he touched a vase, which turned out to be real.

However, when the picture disappeared again, the touch in my hand also disappeared, as if I had a dream before and suddenly woke up, and everything was fake.

"Ha~"

Ying Li suddenly realized that it was no wonder that such a large treasure house was not guarded by anyone. Everything here could not be taken away by normal means. There was some special space that served as his invisible insurance.

What kind of advanced spatial magic was this? As expected of a woman who could bring a corner of the ancient capital from thousands of years ago intact to the present day, Ying Li was filled with admiration for her method.

Soon, he found his fragments in a corner, placed in a capsule-shaped glass cabin and soaked in a maintenance liquid.

Like other items, it disappeared quickly after Ying Li took a look at it. He needed to leave this place and come back again before the fragment would appear again.

He took advantage of the moment when the darkness receded and suddenly reached out to lift the lid, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not shake the surface, including launching an attack.

There is no conspicuous keyhole or mechanism to unlock it. It is like an item that is not for sale and is only allowed to be looked at, but not taken away.

This really stumped Ying Li. The things were clearly his, but they were right in front of him and he had no way to take them away. The Eclipse Sword was so agitated that it was about to dance, and as its owner, he was completely helpless.

"Go try it!"

Ying Li took a few steps back and suddenly threw the Eclipse Sword forward, wanting to try to let the sword itself subdue the withered fragments of his body. Perhaps it would be more useful than doing it himself.

But the result remained unchanged. The only progress was that it did attract the "attention" of the fragments, causing the fragments in the center of the glass cabin to move toward the direction of the Eclipse Sword. Each sword and fragment was tightly attached to the glass wall.

Ying Li frowned. He had seen a lot over the past thousand years, but he was helpless against the methods of his colleagues and could not understand them at all. He had no choice but to ask the acquired demon.

But he forgot that he didn't have any communication equipment. He tried to go back the same way, but the door he came from had disappeared and was replaced by a large bookcase full of high-level magic books.

It seems that I am trapped. If I can't break the space here, let alone repair my body, it will be a question whether I can survive.

However, Ying Li is not an ordinary demon tamer. He has a young appearance, but he does not have the recklessness and impulsiveness of a young man. If normal methods don't work, then he'll try another approach.

If I can't take the fragments out, can I go in and get them myself? Ying Li thought so.

The question is, once you get in, can you get out?

Could it be that he was unable to obtain the fragments because of his own insufficient cultivation? Or was it because he did not have a physical body at the moment and could not withstand the pressure brought by the fragments?

Ying Li suddenly remembered something he had asked Hou Tian:

"You promised to let me pick anything I want from the treasure pavilion. Aren't you afraid that I'll take something too precious?"

Hou Tian's answer was: "If the space in the north of Nether City consumed 50% of my power, then this treasure pavilion has at least 20% of my power.

Every item inside cannot be taken away casually. Anyone can only take the items that he "can take away". If it does not belong to him, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot take it away. You can rest assured about this!"

This seemingly boastful statement seemed to have a deeper meaning behind it.

It seemed that a lot of effort had been spent on building this treasure pavilion. It naturally contained an aspect that could reflect the former strength of the "Black Sheep Demon Lord". Ying Li did not dare to underestimate this place at all.

“Anyone can only take items that they are allowed to take away.”

This sentence is quite crucial. If you can't take it away, does it mean that the time is not right?

Just like what metaphysics says, "Everything has its own destiny." Could it be that I really shouldn't have come to this treasure pavilion at this moment to retrieve the fragment of my Phantom Sword?

But if I can get the fragments, I can help Youming overcome the difficulties, and it can also increase my cultivation and help me repair my body faster.

Speaking of repairing the body...is it possible that I need to get the thing that can help me repair my body first?

Thinking about it carefully, the reason he was allowed to enter here was that he had completed his mission the day after tomorrow and wiped out the Hundred Beasts Gate, the Five Poison Valley and the Temple of the Gods.

At that time, he didn't know that there were fragments of the Eclipse Sword in the treasure pavilion, so he naturally didn't think of asking her for them. His original purpose was to make some money from her.

So, can we draw the inference that we can take away anything except the fragments during this trip?

In order to confirm his guess, Ying Li randomly found a stand, which was a stone with an exquisite golden sword inserted on it.

When Ying Li stretched out his hand to grasp the hilt of the sword, ready to pull it out, he stopped cautiously and started thinking again.

If I take it, does it mean that I have already received the reward and I cannot take other things?

In the end, Ying Li gave up the sword. He chose to look for the thing that could repair his body. In case this was the only chance, it would be a waste of time if he took the wrong one.

Anyway, all the information here will pass through his brain at the speed of light, so Ying Li is not in a hurry. He just keeps walking along the way. He will find what he wants sooner or later after exploring the entire treasure pavilion.

The battle outside should have started long ago. Since we are here, we should just make the best of it. We can't get out anyway, and we can't help even if we go out, so there is no need to worry about it.

He hoped that the next time he met Galantina, he would see her become several times stronger, and she would be able to see herself regaining her physical body.

……

"The Palace of the Dark Emperor is in front of us! Everyone, follow me and charge in!"

Tang Wei, the leader of the Tang Clan, took the lead, killing several Zerg masters along the way, and arrived at the gate of the tallest and most magnificent palace in the Netherworld Altar.

Among the people traveling together, there were orcs, humans, pseudo-humans, and even a few demon traitors. One of them was a middle-aged man who looked 50% similar to Emperor Crabrand, wearing black clothes. There was even a white-haired young man wearing the uniform of the Eternal Night Empire, holding a skull magic circle that emitted ice mist.

"This is going too smoothly, isn't it? Is this really the Netherworld Headquarters? How could the defense be so weak?!"

The man who asked the question had a burly build, dark skin, and angry eyes. He had thick, neat, slightly upturned eyebrows, a waist-length beard, and was holding a long-handled hammer. He looked fierce and domineering.

Tang Wei responded: "Lord Li, there is no need to worry."

The man who looked like the Emperor of Eternal Night said disdainfully:

"Humph! Lord Flame means... the news about my Ye Linlang royal family is fake?"

The big man with the surname Li was none other than Li Zhengchun, the lord of the Lieyan Territory. He was the descendant of the Iron Blood Alliance and a major sanctuary sect that regarded the demons as their mortal enemies.

And that man, indeed, had an unusual relationship with Crablank, and was actually from the Ye Linlang royal family.

"Uncle, don't be angry. Lord Li is just eager to kill the demons." Another accompanying general, General Yongye, said.

"Humph!"

The two of them looked at each other with a little anger, then turned around and continued to kill the enemy. Tang Wei also sighed secretly. He knew that the people who came here were not united, just because they had a common enemy: the underworld.

Rumbling--

The ground in front of the gate of the Hades Palace shook violently, and countless grooves cracked on the marble floor. The soil underneath also loosened outwards. A giant crab covered in steel armor appeared, with many deformed flesh growing under its body, looking particularly weird.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Tang Wei frowned and looked forward. He could feel that this deformed crab had the cultivation level of the seventh level of Ghost King Realm. Considering its size and indestructible defense, it would be difficult to fight it.

A night elf woman wearing a moon-colored robe and riding a white tiger stepped forward, followed by a mixed force of orcs and elves. They were the remnants of the Beast Gate.

"Leave it to us! Dealing with beasts is our forte at the Hundred Beasts Sect!"

"But this battle... will be very dangerous! But if you are ready, then I'll leave it to you, Master Mirana."

Tang Wei pretended to be embarrassed, as if he couldn't bear to abandon his teammate. Without waiting for the other party to respond, he changed the subject, patted the other party's shoulder encouragingly, and turned away.

I thought: This Mirana was originally just an elder of the Hundred Beasts Sect. Now that the Hundred Beasts Sect is doomed, and with my support, he became the new sect leader. It is only natural for him to die for me!

There was no need for Tang Wei to say anything to the others, as they had already displayed their abilities and flew towards the back of the steel crab at an extremely fast speed.

How could this giant crab let him go so easily? Guarding the gate was his mission. He saw that the various deformed objects under his body began to wriggle inside the fault layer of his armor, and a large amount of black and inky mucus sprayed out, accurately shooting at each master.

Mirana shouted, "Shoot!"

After receiving the order, the night elf archers behind him quickly drew their bows and arrows with focused eyes. At Mirana's command, they released the bowstrings at the same time, and countless arrows flew out like raindrops, forming a dense rain of arrows in the air.

"Scorching Magic Arrow"!

The moment thousands of arrows flew over Mirana's head, she activated her magic at the same time, enchanting all the arrows. The vast rain of arrows, accompanied by blazing flames, created pieces of exploding fire on the crab's body.

"Ow ooh..."

The crab howled in pain, and the move of spraying black mud was interrupted, but the part that had already been sprayed out still swallowed up some demon riders with low cultivation.

They fell to the ground, covered in this strange black mud, and their flesh quickly rotted and caught fire, turning into a pile of corpses before they could even scream.

"Roar--"

Seeing that most of the masters had gone far away, Cancer let out an unwilling roar. He spread out his eight legs, wanting to give chase, but was surrounded by a group of ferocious monsters. Although they were much smaller than him, they could not be ignored if they pounced on him together. He could only deal with these bastards from the Hundred Beasts Gate first.

"Tsk! You let them go so easily!"

In the main hall, Hou Tian looked at the picture in the crystal ball, stamped his feet in anger, and then waved his hand and ordered:

"Master Blacksoe! Change the topography of the Hades Palace to make them lost!"

"Okay, Boss!"

On one side of the crystal ball, there flashed a figure of a little old man with curly hair, a suit, and a wretched expression. He was the chief craftsman of the Netherworld and the general manager of the Netherworld's scientific research department.

Hei Suo kept tapping on the keyboard in his control room and moving the valves of the machines around him, and the entire Hades Palace started moving.

Countless gears and links hidden underground and in the walls began to operate. All the palaces, walkways, and pavilions moved at the same time, causing the originally interconnected interior structure to undergo a drastic change, and the castle became a maze.

Hou Tian smiled with satisfaction and continued, "Twelve Generals of Yara, you will assign yourselves to defend the areas, and place "beacon insects" on every road leading to here to let them know how powerful the insect swarm is!"

"The last general takes command!"

Behind the Insect Demon King Zekira, a total of twelve Zerg generals dressed in different clothes shouted in unison, without stopping or talking much, and tacitly went straight to the passages they had chosen.

"Beacon Worms" are a type of worm that are born with space magic elements. They are also the medium for the Zerg's unique teleportation magic "Wormhole". Their function is to establish a teleportation anchor point and accurately locate the other end of the portal in order to teleport the Zerg army in batches to the designated location.

"What about me, what about me?"

Galantina jumped up and grabbed Hou Tian's hand and asked anxiously.

Hou Tian flicked her head in annoyance and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't you see that Shadow King and Minghai King didn't leave either! Help me contact the two "Seven Deadly Sins" and ask about the status of the four major fortresses."

"Oh~"

Galantina stuck out her tongue and dialed Ying Yan's number. The other party hung up almost immediately, and Jack also didn't answer the call. It is very likely that he was in a tough battle.

The two women looked at each other, and Hou Tian shook her head helplessly, and ordered Altros:

"Shadow King, go and take a look. The Xuanwu Gate in the north is closest to us. I think they will definitely attack this area!"

Otakemaru was also a little anxious, and took the initiative to ask: "Do you want me and your wife to go to the White Tiger Gate and the Suzaku Gate?"

Altros said in a deep voice: "Are you looking down on me? I am enough!"

"You old man, why are you still trying to show off at this time?" Otakemaru was not convinced and immediately retorted.

Hou Tian was ashamed and whispered: "Oh my, do you really want to run away? Aren't you afraid that your noble queen will be assassinated..."

Only Zekira heard the whispers of her own demon lord. She smiled knowingly and stepped forward to persuade him:

"Don't worry, the two demon kings. If you all go out, the enemy may steal your base from behind."

Otakemaru was honest and straightforward. He clapped his hands immediately and said, "Yes! All right! I will stay here and the task of protecting the base camp will be handed over to me!"

"Cough cough!"

Hou Tian continued, "King Minghai, Miss Galantina. Your two targets are Tang Sect Master Tang Wei, Li Zhengchun, Lord of the Flame Territory, and..."

A trace of anger flashed in her eyes as she looked at the faces of the enemies in the crystal ball. Finally, her gaze fell on the faces of the two traitors of the Eternal Night Empire and she said in a cold voice:

"These two demon traitors, Dalze Yelinlang and General Falion!"
