Chapter 862: Washing Marrow Nether River
Chapter 862: Washing Marrow Nether River
It was a circular special character.Its range covered the entire cave space.
Apart from the purple glow, it only emitted the Power of the Primordial.
The moment the purple ghostly light was completely filled, the land beneath began to slowly crack.
The steam that had appeared earlier completely vanished, replaced by a biting cold wind.
The cold that even the Power of the Primordial couldn’t resist penetrated Lin Yi and his team’s bodies, making even Lin Yi, who had elemental affinity, shiver.
Looking towards the direction from which the cold wind came, the pitch-black crack was gradually expanding.
"What kind of terrifying existence is that Shakyamuni, being able to survive in such harsh conditions?"
Ziyue couldn’t help but sigh.
The mission was indeed handed to her, but at this moment, she couldn’t help but have second thoughts.
The girl wasn’t particularly smart, but she wasn’t foolish enough to think that the environment below the eighteenth layer of hell was habitable.
"Um, Mr. Lin Yi, I..."
Lin Yi could sense that Ziyue, without a Divine Power Shield, was fundamentally unqualified to enter this chaotic area. Based on her abilities, if she tried to resist with the Power of the Primordial, she would be exhausted and die in less than a minute.
This level of power dropping down would only add a burden to Lin Yi.
With a thought, after activating the Infinite Ball, Lin Yi entered a state where his status would completely recover in a short time, and his resistance was infinitely high.
"You’ll need to handle the guarding task at the cave entrance. I’ve just checked, and the Communication Spirit Crystal can be used normally in this space. You can’t enter that Nine Netherworld chaotic area, so leave the upcoming matters to us."
Xiyue wished to accompany Lin Yi down to that chaotic area, but she clearly understood that entering it would only cause trouble for Lin Yi.
After the array in front of them was fully opened, the chaotic area hidden beneath their feet finally revealed its original appearance.
Washing Marrow Nether River, the cold wind was biting.
The dark cyan thick river flowed continuously in places without light.
Gusts of cold wind swept over it.
The extremely disgusting mucus emanated a nauseating stench, causing an extreme sense of discomfort.
Even Lin Yi felt a bit disgusted.
"Lin You, don’t tell me...."
Lin Yi pointed to the stinking Washing Marrow Nether River, frowning as he asked.
"Yes, Shakyamuni is likely imprisoned below. Once he knew the ugly faces of all celestial divine beings, he was captured by them before he could use his Heaven-piercing Mantra."
Although Shakyamuni’s combat power wasn’t the strongest, his life force was not to be underestimated.
To prevent his possible escape one day, all celestial divine beings used the finest Nine Nether Cyan Stone to refine Fine Steel Chains and imprisoned him in this Nether River.
"Ordinary weapons can’t enter this Washing Marrow Nether River. It possesses a terrifying corrosive force that can only be resisted with Divine Power. Even law items can’t resist its corrosion. Once we enter that Washing Marrow Nether River, the likelihood of using skills is low, and we’ll have to rely on brute force to rescue him."
What, no way?
This Washing Marrow Nether River is that formidable!
Only mentioning this crucial part at the last minute, when did Lin You become so manipulative?
Moreover, since ordinary weapons can’t be used, do we have to tear those fine steel chains apart with our bare hands?
"Skills can’t be used, weapons can’t be used, how do I break those chains?"
Lin Yi questioned doubtfully.
Lin You merely smiled slightly.
As Lin Yi’s summoned being, as Lin Yi’s most reliable partner, Lin You would never dig a pit for Lin Yi at any time.
"Hehe, don’t worry, Lin Yi. With my memory completely unsealed, I am now at the level of an Upper-Rank God. With my divine power and my weapon, I am fully capable of breaking the iron chains and releasing him. Why don’t you wait for me up here?"
Lin You’s thoughtfulness was touching to Lin Yi.
Having been solving minor troubles for him from behind for so long, Lin You was now finally taking the lead.
For this, Lin Yi was quite relieved.
But he didn’t plan to let Lin You handle this alone.
"When have I, your brother Lin Yi, ever said no to such things? Let’s go. I’m not comfortable leaving this task to you alone. You might need my help, and the sooner we finish this mission, the sooner we can leave."
Lin You nodded, held Lin Yi’s hand, and the two of them leapt together into the Washing Marrow Nether River.
Before falling into the Nether River, Lin Yi and Lin You both used their divine power to create a protective field to avoid direct contact between their bodies and the Washing Marrow Nether River.
At the moment of entering the river, Lin Yi sensed the horror of the Washing Marrow Nether River.
Even the most exaggerated defensive means, the Divine Power Shield from the Three Realms and Six Paths, was insufficient against the Washing Marrow Nether River.
The piercing cold, like a maggot clinging to bone, penetrated the Divine Power Shield, continuously invading Lin Yi and Lin You’s bodies.
To resist this cold, Lin Yi instinctively increased his divine power output, attempting to completely isolate this cold.
Unfortunately, this approach was futile. Given Lin Yi’s current Divine Power Level, he couldn’t achieve this.
Fortunately, Lin You had restored all her strength and shared part of it to shield Lin Yi, temporarily isolating the bone-chilling cold.
However, the viscous, filthy river was extremely murky; even with the enhancements of Eyes of Golden Flame and the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi saw nothing.
Not to mention cutting through the chains binding Shakyamuni.
Just as Lin Yi felt helpless, Lin You took action.
In the Washing Marrow Nether River, a rift was forcibly torn open in the Undead Space.
Undead creatures resembling Hellhounds entered the Nether River, utilizing their keen sense of smell to locate Shakyamuni.
Without a Divine Power Shield, the Hellhounds’ bodies melted at an incredible rate.
Yet still, using their sharp sense of smell, they reported Shakyamuni’s location to Lin You before being entirely corroded.
Of course, as Lin You’s master, Lin Yi could also see the visions sent by the Hellhounds.
"Let’s go, Lin Yi. We’re going to rescue him."
Advancing in the Washing Marrow Nether River was extremely challenging.
But, aided by her identity as the Undead Monarch, Lin You still used her overpowering divine power to break through the chaotic Nine Netherworld currents, dragging Lin Yi forward.
In the next moment, a gray light flashed beside Lin You, and the Elegy of the Soul appeared in her hand.
Upon the Elegy of the Soul’s appearance, the dominating Nine Netherworld currents, as if intimidated, cleared a path.
"So, this is Shakyamuni?"
Lin Yi finally had a clear view in front of his eyes.
A skeletal thin man, with sunken eyes, bound by dark cyan iron chains, appeared in his sight.
After being washed by the Washing Marrow Nether River for thousands of years, his body was already unclothed, and skin, corroded into dark cyan flesh lumps, could be seen everywhere.
The sight was nauseating.
If it weren’t for his cautiousness in activating the Infinite Ball’s effect early on, Lin Yi probably wouldn’t even be able to maintain a shield at this moment.
The consumption rate of his divine power was extremely absurd.
