Chapter 267: Simple mission
Both formations carried powerful energy, and one of them even covered the sky. Considerable mystical energy from talismans could be seen spinning in the formations and descended on Lin Fan.
“Shrink!”
The gigantic formation shook and shrunk violently, trapping Lin Fan in no time.
Lin Fan immediately felt a powerful energy suppressing him.
“Blocking heaven magic!”
Suddenly!
Another formation descended from the sky. As if a gear, the talismans rotated slowly. Colorful lights could be seen inside the formation, and it came to an abrupt stop as soon as it touched Lin Fan’s head. It came down onto him as if a waterfall, cornering Lin Fan in the formation.
“Living thing, this is a forbidden area. You shall be locked for ten thousand years for entering the forbidden area.”
A strong voice could be heard ringing out. It was unknown where it came from, and Lin Fan couldn’t tell who was speaking.
“What? Why are you doing this? I haven’t done anything wrong!”
Lin Fan looked up and raised his hands, touching the formation. He realized that his fingers were able to pa.s.s through the formation.
“Interesting.”
He took a step out of the formation. It didn’t hinder him at all.
Lin Fan could feel that both formations were different, as one sealed his energy while the other sealed his soul.
Sadly, it was a pity that it was nothing to Lin Fan.
He turned around to face the seals.
~They are powerful seals. It will be good if I can make them mine.~
~However, the seals seem to not have a physical form.~
Suddenly, a blood-curling scream could be heard.
A wild beast could be seen dashing forth from afar. Suddenly, a seal dropped from the sky and covered the beast.
Suddenly, the beast exploded instantly, dying in the seal.
“What’s wrong with the Thousand cave patriarch? Does he wants others to do a treasure hunt here, or does he want to trap everyone here? Weird.”
Lin Fan was unable to understand. ~Since the seal can’t do anything to me, I’ll just move forward and check out what’s inside.~
“How dare you break through the seal? You deserve death.”
Instantly, a loud voice could be heard as the sky changed. Huge changes could be seen taking place. The beautiful scenery was now gone, and all that’s left behind was a volcanic range.
Black smock could be seen billowing out of the volcanoes, and bright red lava could be seen flowing down.
Strange black-birds could be seen in the sky.
“It’s so surreal. They must have spent a lot to set this up.”
Lin Fan gasped. The scene reminded him of his inner demons. ~Look at how great their special effect is. This is the difference between a million-dollar and a fifty-cent budget.~
~But now, I only want to get out of here and head to the Thousand deep chamber.~
He pulled out the Thousand deep chamber key, but there wasn’t any hint, and it shone very dimly.
“So it seems that I must go past this place to reach the chamber?”
“Intruder, you deserve death.”
Just then, a loud and deep voice boomed.
A giant, black-colored hand could be seen climbing out of the volcano. There was a pair of colossal demon horns with flames on them. A fierce-looking demon could be seen appear bit by bit. Flames could be seen in its lantern-like eyes.
“Terrifying.”
Lin Fan shook his head. ~I just want to get to the secret chamber, yet it’s so tough. I’ve been sealed in formations and be scared by demons. This is so annoying.~
“Get out of that volcano first.”
He said, shouting towards the demon and walking forward slowly.
“Living thing, stop there. This isn’t somewhere you should be.”
A creepy voice could be heard in his ear, and it sounded very threatening.
He could feel the scary demonic energy from the demon. However, it didn’t matter. He just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible and find his treasure.
But not long after, lava came towards him from all directions, and a sea of lava suddenly formed right in front of him.
“Living thing, stay there. This is the sea of pain. If you take another step, you’ll experience unimaginable pain.” The demon said, still climbing out of the volcano. It was unknown how long it would take for it to come out.
Lin Fan squatted down and put his pinky into the sea of pain. A mystical force pa.s.sed through his pinky instantly, it seemed to cause some pain, but it dispersed as soon as it reached his brain. However, his pinky was still fine.
“What the h.e.l.l is this. It looks fancy, but it’s useless. It’s all imagination.”
Lin Fan looked at the sea of pain disdainfully. ~It looked terrifying, but it actually wasn’t much when they took a closer look at it.~
With a leap.
Plop!
Lin Fan jumped into the sea of pain. He hit the lava with a mighty splash and swam elegantly in the sea.
“Impossible!” the demon in the volcano shouted in surprise upon seeing this.
“Nothing is impossible, little devil.” Lin Fan said as he took a mouthful of lava. He gurgled and spitted it out.
Not long after.
Lin Fan reached the bank and climbed up the volcano. He could see the demon climbing out slowly. “Are you coming out or not?” He asked confusedly. “If you aren’t, I’m going to leave first.”
~ It wasn’t strange to see weird things guarding the Thousand deep chamber, but what I can’t understand was why all of them seem so weak?~
“Human, you won’t make it to the end. This is the forbidden area. n.o.body can go in.”
The volcano demon went back into the volcano slowly, but disbelief could be heard in his voice.
It couldn’t believe that Lin Fan could swim in the sea of pain. The mental pain was enough to drive someone crazy, but it didn’t seem to affect Lin Fan at all. Why was it so?
Lin Fan laughed. ~n.o.body can enter? I’ll prove you wrong today.~
~I’m absolutely sure that I will get to the Thousand deep cave. I’ve been through so much. If I get nothing in return, I’ll be very, very p.i.s.sed.~
Crack!
Just then, the surroundings cracked as if a mirror.
“It’s going to change again?”
The place turned dark instantly, and when it lit up again, Lin Fan was somewhere new.
“Human, I welcome your arrival.”
A voice could be heard, and a figure came towards him from afar.”
“I’m the guardian of this place, and you can call me G.o.d.” It said, appearing in front of Lin Fan. He looked just like Lin Fan, but there was totally no expression on his face.
“Your successful journey through the sea of pain proves that you’re able to handle any mental pain. But now, you won’t be able to go any further.”
“What’s going on with the Thousand deep chambers?” Lin Fan muttered to himself. “This is so strange. I wonder who the Thousand cave Patriarch was and how he created this place.”
~How powerful must he be to be able to create such a domain.~
“I’m going to the Thousand deep chambers. What do I have to do to get there?” Lin Fan asked.
A strange smile could suddenly be seen on the G.o.d’s expressionless face. “You will be a.s.signed a mission, which you will get through a lottery wheel. If you succeed, you may leave. If not, you can only stay here.”
“Okay. Let’s do this quickly.”
“Relax, human. Because you don’t know how dangerous the missions are yet.” A lottery wheel appeared in front of the G.o.d instantly. There were many regions on the wheel, and words were written in all the regions.
“Human, come and draw your mission. Your fate is in your hands.” The G.o.d chuckled.
“Can I really leave after the mission? You’re not going to play a trick, right?” Lin Fan asked.
The G.o.d nodded. “I’m the guardian of this place, and the lottery wheel means everything. You can leave as long as you complete the mission.”
“Come, spin it.”
Lin Fan felt that it was a strange place. But he shrugged and spun the wheel.
Instantly, a ray of light covered the wheel as it spun. Within no time, Lin Fan could no longer see what was on the wheel.
The G.o.d stood still emotionlessly. “Stop!” He said, raising his finger.
Suddenly, the wheel came to a stop. The needle was pointing at a tiny spot. It was so small that one would usually neglect it.
” Living thing, your mission is to kill yourself. You can move on if you do so. But I’ll give you another chance to spin the wheel in exchange for ten years of your life. However, you stand a chance to escape if you spin again.”
“No. That’s a simple mission.” Lin Fan said and waved his hands. He took out the Tai Sovereign sword and cut his own head off.
The G.o.d’s face fell. It was shocked and confused.
“How can this be? He actually killed himself?”
The G.o.d scratched his head. It was currently very confused.
“Shouldn’t he use ten years of his life to exchange for another chance? How could it be that he chose to kill himself?”
“No, I lost. How could this be?”
“Ahhhh!”
At that moment, the G.o.d let out a cry. His face cracked, and his body started breaking apart. Fragments of his body started floating into the air.
His entire body broke down in no time, and the lottery wheel was nowhere to be seen.
Ten seconds later.
Lin Fan opened up his eyes. “I’m done. Where are you? You should let me leave now…..”
“Eh? Where did you go?”
He was dumbfounded. ~He was right in front of me a second ago. Where did he go?~
Is he planning to go back on his words?
Bang!
The s.p.a.ce shattered, and his surroundings fell into darkness.
Lin Fan stood in the dark. There seemed to be stars hanging in the sky above him. It was as if he was in an endless universe, and his body kept falling into infinite darkness. He couldn’t see the ground nor the sky.
“What is this place? Why is it so strange?”
