NFBE Chapter 232: Bravely Entering the Land of Chaos
Chapter 232: Bravely Entering the Land of Chaos
Yang Xining stared at the ashes, the anger in his purple-gold eyes gradually cooled into ice.
Lan Lingchi suddenly grasped her cold fingers and said lovingly, "Xining, let's go together."
Monet interrupted in a dismal tone, "Master, the Land of Chaos is very dangerous. The Patriarch will not agree to go there. Besides, you haven't made a formal contract with the next Demon King yet, so you can't go there without magic power..."
"Monet is right." Yang Xining suddenly pulled back Lan Lingchi's hand. "The Land of Chaos is not a place for humans."
Lan Lingchi pulled Yang Xining's shoulders and forced her to look directly at him: "Xining, I won't let you go alone."
"Lanling Chi, thank you." The purple light in Yang Xining's left eye intensified, and the power of the Sea God transformed into frost chains that instantly imprisoned Lanling Chi. "However, this is my personal mission."
Satan's skull circled around the frozen human youth, its bony claws poking at the ice. "Tsk tsk, this guy is deeply in love with you, but..."
He suddenly leaned close to Yang Xining's ear, his eyes narrowed into slits, "Are you sure you don't want to take Lanling Chi into your harem?"
Yang Xining glared at him.
Negar took the opportunity to step forward and said, "Your Highness, I will prepare..."
“You stay too.”
Just as she turned to leave, the palace door opened again. Lanling Gong walked in slowly, leaning on his crested staff. His crystal eyes swept over his frozen grandson, and his white brows knitted slightly.
"Girl," the old man said in a hoarse but powerful voice, "untie him."
Yang Xining's bat wings trembled nervously: "Grandpa Lanling..."
"I've lived for one hundred and one years," Lan Linggong's heraldic staff suddenly glowed with a silver-blue light, "and I've never seen a herald hide behind a woman."
The tip of his staff lightly tapped the ice, and complex spatial runes instantly spread. The ice crackled, and Lanling Chi stumbled out, his lips blue from the cold.
"The Land of Chaos is indeed dangerous," the old Herald pulled out an ancient silver ring from his bosom, "but the Lanling family has been under a pact with the Demon King for generations, and we can't rely on hiding to save our lives."
The ring shone with a strange luster under the moonlight, and the magic pattern of the word "Gong" was engraved on the inside.
Satan's skull suddenly clattered with excitement: "Old man! You finally took out the inheritance ring!"
Lan Ling Gong tossed the ring to his grandson and said, "Swallow it."
"What?" Lan Lingchi took the ring, looking surprised.
“Swallow!” the old man suddenly shouted, slamming his emblem staff to the ground.
Lanling Chi closed his eyes, made up his mind, and actually swallowed the ring.
In an instant, his blood vessels burst into a silver-blue light, and a contract totem that echoed Yang Xining's magic pattern appeared on his skin.
"Ah--!" He fell to his knees in agony, blood oozing from all his orifices.
Yang Xining wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Lan Linggong: "Don't worry, girl. This is the Herald's true inheritance - the 'Bone-Eroding Contract' that resonates with the Demon King's bloodline."
Satan's bony claws gestured excitedly, "This is how the great demon kings of all generations formed alliances with the first generation of the Lanling family! Carving a contract into the bones is more secure than a blood curse!"
When the light faded, Lanling Chi slowly stood up.
His pupils turned the same dark gold as Yang Xining's right eye, and a faint demonic aura lingered around him.
The most astonishing thing was that a silver-white ruler pattern similar to Hilde's appeared on the palm of his right hand.
"Now," Lan Linggong patted his grandson's shoulder, "you can follow your wife to your death."
Yang Xining's face flushed: "Who is his wife!"
Lan Ling Chi suddenly grabbed her hand, and the newly formed magic pattern touched her purple-gold mark, emitting a dazzling light. "You can't get rid of me now, Princess."
Negar was so jealous that his devil horns were smoking: "Your Highness! I can also..."
"Shut up." Hilde appeared behind him without him noticing, pressing a ruler against Zhu Jue's back. "It's time to reorganize the legion."
When the first ray of morning light penetrated the red moon, Yang Xining had already put on his armor.
The purple-gold wings gathered into a cloak, and the crown mark on the forehead shone brightly.
Lanling Chi's silver ruler circulated in her palm, resonating wonderfully with her power.
Satan's skull split into twelve bone beads, surrounding the two people: "Listen, the land of chaos is divided into three layers-"
"The first level is a maze of flesh and blood. The little girl's power of the sea god can purify it."
"The second level is the Soul Hell Corridor, which requires the Herald's spatial talent."
"At the very bottom..." The skeleton's will-o'-the-wisp suddenly dimmed, "is the cursed core of Talomati. You will see... the scene you least want to see."
Monet suddenly knelt on one knee: "I swear in the name of the guardian devil——"
"No need." Yang Xining interrupted him, a hint of tenderness flashing in his purple-gold eyes, "Protect grandpa. Wait for us... to bring them back."
The moment the teleportation array lit up, Lan Lingchi suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "There's something I forgot to tell you—"
"You look especially good in men's clothes."
……
The light of the teleportation array dissipated, and Yang Xining and Lan Lingchi stood in a twisted wasteland.
The sky was a sickly purple-red, the ground was covered with cracks, and dark green mist was constantly seeping out of the cracks.
In the distance, a huge door made of bones and rotten flesh stood between heaven and earth, and a disgusting stench seeped out from the cracks in the door.
"Is this the entrance to the Land of Chaos?" Lan Lingchi clenched the silver ruler in his hand, and the newly formed magic patterns under his skin felt slightly hot.
Yang Xining's purple-gold eyes stared at the door. She could feel the three fragments of the Sea Spirit Pearl in her body resonating violently. "Satan, are you sure the last fragment is inside?"
Twelve bone beads spun around her, forming the skull face of Satan: "Absolutely true. And..." The bone beads suddenly trembled violently, "I sense that Talomati's remaining soul is awakening!"
When they pushed open the skeleton door, the scene before them made Lanling Chi's stomach churn.
The entire space is made up of wriggling flesh and blood.
The walls were covered in throbbing veins, the ground undulated like a living thing, and countless half-melted corpses hung from the ceiling.
"Don't touch anything." Yang Xining spread his purple-gold wings, and the deep-sea purple light in his left eye shone brightly. "Sea Spirit - Purifying Light!"
The azure purifying power spread like a tide, and wherever it passed, the corrupt flesh and blood turned to ashes.
But the ashes quickly reorganized into more twisted monsters.
"It's useless," Satan's bone bead warned, "the curse here will continue to regenerate. You must find the core-"
Before he could finish his words, the ground suddenly cracked open and countless flesh and blood tentacles wrapped around the two of them.
Lanling Chi swung the ruler violently, and a silver-white light created a crack in space, swallowing up all the tentacles.
"Left!" He suddenly pointed to a throbbing tumor, "There's a spatial fluctuation there!"
Yang Xining understood, and the dark golden devil flame in his right eye surged: "Demon Devourer - Burning Heaven!"
The dark red flame hit the tumor accurately, and the entire space suddenly shook violently.
The walls of flesh and blood quickly rotted and fell away, revealing the obsidian structure of the passage below.
"The Herald's intuition is indeed accurate," Satan's Bone Bead praised. "It seems that old man Lanling made the right choice for his successor."
After passing through the passage, they came to a completely different space - it was like a mirror maze, with countless mirrors forming intricate corridors.
Each mirror reflects their most painful memories.
The mirror in front of Lanling Pool shows the scene of the Lanling family being attacked by demons.
In Yang Xining's mirror, there was the tragic car accident that took Yang Xining's life, and the scene where Mo Junli and four others took pills to commit suicide and were rescued.
Then the four of them hurt themselves, took drugs, anesthetized themselves with alcohol, and burned their chests with cigarette butts...
Yang Xining felt an inexplicable beating in his heart when he saw this.
Unexpectedly, those four men loved her so deeply.
“Don’t look!” Satan warned sharply. “These mirrors will feed on your pain!”
But it's too late.
The image in the mirror suddenly materialized. "Yang Xining" from the car accident scene crawled out of the mirror, covered in blood, and stretched out his hand to Yang Xining: "Why are you still alive... and I..."
