As Lumian disappeared in front of Crystal Skull, the human skulls that already had numerous cracks suddenly lost their support.

They shattered suddenly, falling with the shadows from high in the sky, and the grass-covered wilderness split into pieces.

Oseto's "Otherworld" collapsed toward the similarly cracked Crystal Skull, and everything located here silently turned into dust.

Undead dissipated, the light was extinguished, and the darkness of nothingness swallowed everything up.

After an unknown amount of time, a little soft light shone in this absolute darkness, illuminating a desolate, dim, Paleness, almost solidified Wilderness.

In the middle of Wilderness is the holy and quiet Darsh Lake.

Wearing a gloomy black dress and holding four heads, the headless Lady quickly sketched beside the lake, quietly staring at the transparent water without any ripples.

As soon as he passively passed through the bronze gate, Lumian felt that he was being looked at by countless eyes, and his body became colder and became Paralysis.

At the same time, arms stretched out from nowhere and grabbed his head, neck, chest, abdomen, and legs.

Some of them have dull skin, with thick white Teeth growth, some of their flesh and blood are rotten to the point of falling off, and Insects of the same high degree of decay is slowly crawling in the ulcers, some have no skin, and some only have illusory Spirit Body...

What they have in common is that they all bring a cold that can freeze the soul.

Lumian's Golden Mask face, painted with white or black oil paint, glowed with a faint and pure light. The arms that were trying to reach out first stopped and then retracted.

The eyes that were looking at him at Depths of Darkness also looked away.

Lumian recovered his thoughts and his perception of the body.

He discovered that there was a deep pit below with no bottom or edges.

The edge of the pit is composed of layers of blurry worlds that surround the pit and continue downward until the end of sight.

These fuzzy worlds were stacked up in confusion, and Lumian could not see clearly what was inside. He only knew that each of them was wider than Stars Plateau, and the sights he had looked at before all originated from the bottom of the pit, in the seemingly endless darkness.

Lumian fell suddenly and fell into one of the fuzzy worlds in just the blink of an eye.

He miraculously stood on a wilderness of bare gray-white rocks, with white skeletons stacked around him. They were densely packed and extended to different distances.

At this moment, these skeletons are still, as if Slumber are trapped in time.

Is this Underworld? I wonder where the body part "Abscessed Severed Hand" is? Lumian looked around and muttered silently to himself.

Realizing that this was an opportunity to enter Underworld, he took the initiative to help and used the seals of Golden Mask and "Underworld Daoist" in the Aegis Family to push away Bronze Gate inside Crystal Skull.

The problem now is that Underworld is much vaster than he expected, and he has no idea where to start.

Similarly, the rotten baby sent in by Oseto has no idea where it went and what it wanted to do.

Maybe we can rely on the Contract that I signed with "Abscessed Severed Hand" to find it. It is essentially integrated with the rest of its body and is related to Mysticism. The Contract that I signed with it To a certain extent, is equivalent to signing with the rest of its body...Lumian quickly came up with an idea and said in a cold and hoarse voice, "'Knight of Swords', have you come in too?"

"Yes.""Knight of Swords"Maric's voice became a little fainter.

He paused and then said, "One of my companions also came in."

Lumian nodded:

"Why don't you come out?

"You are now in the Wraith state. Don't worry about dying in the Underworld instant."

It's already considered Undead, so what's so special about Underworld?

"Knight of Swords" responded, "But we are still living creatures in essence. If we stay in Underworld state for a long time in Wraith state, we will not be able to change back to human beings and will always exist in the form of Wraith Evil Spirit.

"And with the help of your body, we can temporarily not be affected by Underworld, and we will come out at the critical moment."

"That's it..." Lumian looked up at the Paleness dim sky, "I can't wear this Aegis Family mask for too long, we only have about three hours."

While talking, Lumian tried to activate without using Black Mark on the right shoulder, which was "Spirit World Traversal" from "Abscessed Severed Hand".

With the help of this mark, he faintly felt something calling him at the end of Wilderness on the right side.

Is that part of Abscessed Severed Hand's body in Underworld? Just as Lumian had this thought, he saw a figure emerging in front of him.

It was a young woman with a very delicate appearance but an unusually pale face. Her eyes were blue and deep, without any emotional ups and downs. Her long pale blond hair was tied into a slightly serious bun. She was wearing a soft hat with a fine black gauze hanging from it, and she was wearing a complicated and exquisite black Gothic palace dress.

This is the Temperance Faction Half-God who echoed Library on me before? Lumian recalled the two blurry figures he saw with the help of crystal ice.

One of them is exactly the same as the Lady in front of you!

The Temperance Faction and Half-God were floating in the air, slowly turning in a circle, then pointing in one direction and nodding towards Lumian.

The place she was pointing to was the end of Wilderness on the right.

"You mean where is Oseto's premature rotten child?" Lumian asked in confirmation.

Lady, who was wearing a black soft hat, nodded slightly in affirmation.

She immediately disappeared into the air, and Lumian felt another layer of coldness in her body.

They are all in that direction... coincidence? No, it's not a coincidence, it's more likely that something in that direction attracted them Past...Lumian turned sideways, and immediately "Teleportation" reached the edge of his sight.

As soon as his figure became transparent, Paleness palms came from nowhere and pressed on the surface of his body, grabbing his arms.

Lumian experienced the Paralysis feeling all over his body again, and his soul seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

This time, the weak light emitted by Golden Mask did not work.

Lumian tried to ignite Blazing White's Flames to dispel the cold, stiffness and numbness https://m•hetushu•com. com, but his whole body was suppressed by invisible terror, shivering, and it was difficult to respond effectively.

When he regained consciousness and Rationality, he found that he was still standing in the same place, but all the Bai Sensen skeletons in the surrounding area had stood up, surrounding him layer after layer, as if to protect him.

At the same time, Lumian heard the voice of "Knight of Swords" Maric:

"After you put on the mask of the Aegis Family and become a pure Undead, you will also have all the characteristics of Undead, and one of the characteristics is that you will be suppressed by High-Ranking Being of 'Death God' Pathway, making it difficult to have the idea of resistance, and you are willing to accept slavery physically and mentally.

"In comparison, those of us 'Wraith' who are not pure and can switch states freely will be much less affected."

Is this the reason why I couldn't resist just now? I wonder if "Sword of Courage" can counteract this effect. In theory, it should be possible... Lumian suddenly realized. "You guys saved me just now?"

"Knight of Swords" did not continue the topic and instead reminded Lumian:

"Currently, it seems that in Underworld you can 'Teleportation' but not 'Teleportation'. That seems to be regarded as blasphemy against 'Death God' and will incur the punishment of Underworld."

According to the Mysticism knowledge mentioned by "Magician" Lady, Underworld is from Spirit World, which can be "Teleportation" is normal, but "Teleportation" is too blasphemous to "Death God", isn't it too hierarchical? This is in line with "Death God" Pathway High-Ranking Being's suppression of Low-Sequence... Lumian thought about it for a few seconds and bent his back slightly.

A beam of Blazing White's brilliant Flame Spear suddenly flew out, lighting up the dim sky of Paleness, and threw it towards the end of Wilderness.

As the red track of Blazing White disappears inch by inch, Flame Spear, the incarnation of Lumian, throws out continuously, rushing on the road at the fastest speed currently possible.

During this process, he noticed that Wilderness had a downward angle, and his and "Knight of Swords" and Temperance Faction Half-God's destinations were at the bottom of the "hillside".

After a while, Blazing White's firelight flew away in all directions, and Lumian's figure wearing a thick jacket fell to the ground.

In front of him was an illusory black river so wide that he could not see the other side.

The river comes from the edge of the sky and flows to the end of the sky, silently and extremely quiet.

"Is this River of the Underworld?" Lumian asked about Temperance Faction Half-God in his body.

His answer was still "Knight of Swords" Maric:

"It should be that it penetrates every layer of Underworld. Crossing it is equivalent to entering Underworld Depths.

"If you hadn't stopped just now and flew above it, you would have fallen directly into the river and no one could have rescued you."

Fortunately, the encounter with "Teleportation" just now reminded me to stop for a moment when encountering a potentially problematic environment... Lumian looked around and saw Wilderness covered with withered blood flowers, and hidden among the blood flowers were many Corpse, skeletons, and Shadows.

"How to cross the river?" Lumian felt that part of "Abscessed Severed Hand"'s lost body was on the side of River of the Underworld.

As soon as he finished speaking, before "Knight of Swords" could reply, a dilapidated and extremely gloomy Pitch-Black boat suddenly appeared on the dark and illusory river.

Standing on the boat was a figure with many debris hanging on it. It rowed a long oar and drove the boat to the front of the Lumian side and stopped at the edge of the river.

Lumian looked intently and saw that the "Boatman" was a highly decomposed male corpse. Many parts of his body were exposed. His eyes seemed to have been gouged out, leaving only holes wrapped around thick blood vessels and flowing with yellow pus.

"Take this boat Past?" Lumian lowered his voice and asked the Temperance Faction Member in his body.

"Knight of Swords" Maric replied in an ethereal but solemn voice, "This is the only way.

"But you have to be careful with 'Ferryman', Underworld happened to Mutation, it may also have problems."
