Chapter 308
"Open the Gate of Destruction?" Lu Sheng had never heard of this theory before . It felt strange to him, about as strange as God cleansing the world by destroying everything . As for the Gate of the Devil World, that could be referring to the Gate of Contamination . The Gate of Pain might be the one under the Golden Plaza .
He quickly processed this information, then promptly smiled lightly at the awkward-looking King Shadow .
"I hope you told me the truth . " He didn't bother with anything else and turned away . "Once I confirm that this information is accurate, I'll come back and release you!"
"Huh!!??" King Shadow wanted to stop him, but didn't even have the time to call out before Lu Sheng's shadow disappeared .
***
The Golden Plaza .
Lu Sheng once again jumped into the cavern, landing lightly on the hard floor of the Golden Plaza .
This place probably wasn't made out of pure gold . Pure gold couldn't be this hard, yet these gold blocks were extremely hard .
The golden wheel spun around in the distance like a ferris wheel, while the air around scented with a faint and unidentifiable fragrance .
The golden giant had disappeared, and the golden buildings were also replaced by completely different ones . Everything had changed since Lu Sheng's last visit .
"What is this place…" Lu Sheng frowned, staring at the massive golden wheel looming in the distance . He couldn't even hear any noise because of the distance between them .
Lu Sheng stopped his breathing . Inhaling too much of of this unknown smell couldn't be good .
Ignoring the ferris wheel, he looked left along the floor, and quickly found the entrance to the tunnel he had found last time .
The loosened golden floorboard, along with the dark hole leading deeper underground, were both still there .
"It definitely is the same place, but this plaza… maybe something has changed…" Lu Sheng tapped his feet, and his whole body lightly flew up, and then descended into the tunnel entrance .
Without a single doubt in his mind, he walked into the ghostly cavern .
After walking along the tunnel for about ten breaths, he soon saw the source of the water from the River of Poisoned Fog: an ancient door made of roots filled with Mental Energy .
He walked up to it and put his hand against the door .
"Hisss . . . "
Slivers of Mental Energy were absorbed into this body .
"It had 50 units of Mental Energy stored in it . Not bad . " Lu Sheng retracted his hand after quickly absorbing the mental energy, quite satisfied by the fact that 50 units of mental energy had been accumulated in such a small amount of time .
"Whoosh, whoosh . . . "
Lu Sheng suddenly thought he heard something .
He looked both left and right in confusion, but the surrounding mist didn't have any commotion at all . He was the only living being in the empty, pitch-black tunnel .
Finding nothing, he once again turned his attention back to the door . He tried to look through the crack, attempting to find what made this Gate of Pain so special according to King Shadow .
But, he failed to sense the shape crawling up from the floor behind him .
His body was a dark-yellow color, with insect pupa hanging onto his entire body .
The stranger seemed to be a male, his body filled with hundreds of uneven wounds . Within each one, half of a pupa could be seen hanging out from it .
Even on his face, pupae were crawling in his mouth and eyes . These pupae were also dark yellow, and through the half-clear shell, one could see the disgusting, oozing pus inside of it .
Slowly, a dark-yellow moth wing unfolded from the stranger's back, covering all possible escape routes . Fine powder from the moth wing spread in the air, covering all corners of the tunnel .
His hands slowly reached toward Lu Sheng's neck, while a strange smile formed on his face .
"I never turn my back on my enemy," Lu Sheng suddenly spoke . "And when I do, it means it's not a threat at all . "
The stranger's arms floated in the air, but couldn't press down further no matter how hard he tried .
"Boom!!"
A layer of an immense force field exploded outward from Lu Sheng's body; in an instant, the stranger was slammed into the wall before he could even react .
"BAM!"
The wall exploded, and countless pieces of gravel flew out . The stranger's two meter tall body was embedded deep inside the wall, only leaving behind a man-shaped hole a couple meters deep .
Lu Sheng didn't even bother lifting his hand . Finally, he turned around and stared at the hole in the wall .
An invisible force extended out and easily grabbed the stranger out from the wall . It was the power of Blood Net; after the integration of Inner Qi and Devil Qi, their power would manifest into a net of Qi protecting his body . This net was powerful and tough, and furthermore, Lu Sheng could even control it like an arm or use it as a force field .
"Can you talk?" Lu Sheng looked at the stranger restrained in midair .
This man looked like a corpse infested with moths, his wounds filled densely with moth pupae . He even had two moth wings flapping behind his back .
"Kill . . . kill me…" The stranger twisted his body and screamed, "Kill me…" The sound he made seemed to be able to communicate with the soul . Lu Sheng could understand him despite the lack of language being used .
Lu Sheng could only get one answer despite asking repeatedly .
He started to activate his Blood Net out of desperation .
