Chapter 433 The Beginning of Despair

"Death on the road to the underworld. Lights on the Styx"

Lu Yuan looked at the light from afar and murmured.

After reciting it for a while, he suddenly seemed to think of something. He turned his head and looked at the woman in the black dress beside him, blurting out: "Are you trying to lead me to the legendary underworld?

I...I'm already dead?!"

The woman in the black dress sat on the bow, looking quietly ahead without saying a word.

Lu Yuan realized that he didn't know when it started.

Dense fog had risen on the Styx.

Unconsciously, fog had risen on the Styx.

The huge full moon submerged in the water behind him and the red spider lilies blooming on both sides of the river could no longer be seen.

The black boat drifted silently in the thick fog. All the scenes outside the boat were invisible, except for the dim yellow light in the front road that seemed to be unable to cover up even the thick fog. It could always be seen clearly, and it was obviously approaching slowly.

The atmosphere suddenly changed from the original peaceful and quiet to a little weird.

A huge shock and horror quickly emerged from Lu Yuan's heart.

He stood barefoot at the bow, unable to find the right words and expressions to express the complex emotions in his heart at the moment.

"Am I dead?

Am I really dead?"

A thought kept rolling in Lu Yuan's mind, and he thought of his last battle with "Andusa".

He did use the vortex generated by the panel to judge "Andusa" as an upgrade material and swallowed it in.

But before that, his life potential was almost sucked dry by "Andusa". It was reasonable to say that he died because of this.

But

But he was not mentally prepared at all.

"I just died like this?

From now on, I really have to change my job to become a Hades warrior?"

Lu Yuan didn't know whether he should cry or laugh now.

Death is something that everyone must face. When he was bored before, he had thought about what would happen if he died one day.

But when this day suddenly came, Lu Yuan was still caught off guard and even felt absurd.

It was as if someone had suddenly played a huge joke on him, but this joke was really not funny at all.

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about something, the boat gradually approached the dim light.

Lu Yuan subconsciously looked up and saw the full picture of the dim light slowly emerging from the thick fog.

It looked like a strangely shaped street lamp, emitting a quiet yellow light, slanting on the bank of the Styx.

When Lu Yuan stared at the strange street lamp curiously, he suddenly saw the light flickering, and then slowly turned around and blinked at him.

"Uh"

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Then he saw that behind this dim street lamp, there were many similar street lamps.

These street lamps seemed to be alive, and the part on the top that emitted dim light was their eyes.

In the thick fog that gradually broke, on both sides of the Styx, the underworld creatures that looked like street lamps turned their heads dimly, and the dim yellow lights stared at Lu Yuan on the black boat, blinking.

This scene was silent and shocking, and there was an indescribable sense of great weirdness and horror.

"The Underworld. Guard of Honor?!"

Lu Yuan stared blankly at the underworld street lamps that seemed to be "lined up to welcome" in front of him, not knowing what expression to make.

At this moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the dark river surface in front of the boat.

When the whirlpool arose, the woman in a black dress who had been sitting at the bow of the boat quietly stood up.

She seemed to turn her head and look at Lu Yuan.

Then she stretched out her hand to the position of the whirlpool and gently pointed a finger.

In an instant, Lu Yuan felt a strong force coming, pushing him from behind and rushing forward quickly.

He couldn't help himself, staggered off the boat and fell into the river.

Before his body was completely swallowed by the whirlpool on the river, Lu Yuan could vaguely see.

A figure in a black long skirt was standing at the bow, looking at him quietly through the whirlpool and the water.

"Hu——"

Like countless times of waking up from a dream, as if a drowning person finally broke out of the water and saw the light of day, Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously wanted to stand up.

The strong feeling of weakness and the strong sense of restraint of his body being firmly fixed made his action come to an end.

"I'm not dead!"

The first thought Lu Yuan had after opening his eyes was to confirm whether his life was still alive.

Fortunately, the feedback he got made him feel a false alarm and relief.

Once again, it was confirmed that what Crow experienced in his dream was just a dream after all.

Not necessarily.

If the woman in the black skirt in the dream did not summon the whirlpool to let him leave, he would continue to walk along the Styx while taking advantage of the boat, and perhaps he would never wake up.

Of course, now is not the time to tangle with this issue.

Lu Yuan suddenly found that he was in a rather cramped, strange, depressing and unfamiliar place.

"Where is this?"

All Lu Yuan saw were some rough, uneven, constantly squirming dark red inner walls that resembled flesh and blood tissue.

It was as if he was in the belly of a large creature.

Some curved bone structures growing out of the dark red flesh walls fixed his entire body firmly in one place, as if just for safety?

Lu Yuan also saw a large number of things like fluorescent screens scattered above and around his head.

There was also a fat emerald green thing jumping between these fluorescent screens.

"Cuckoo?!"

Lu Yuan instantly recognized the identity of the fat bird and blurted out.

The latter noticed that he woke up, flapped its wings and landed on his chest, and then called "Cuckoo".

From the consciousness information conveyed by the cuckoo bird, Lu Yuan roughly understood what happened.

"Andusa is dead"

"The secret realm of the ancestral land has undergone drastic changes."

"Yu Wentong sent me away with the Soul Devouring Clan's spacecraft so that I would not be captured by the people of the advanced civilization family as a guinea pig for research"

"So, we are now far away from the original starry sky and are drifting aimlessly in the vast universe?"

Lu Yuan frowned, and this sudden situation in front of him made him a little at a loss.

He was forced to "leave his hometown" and "escape" to an unknown distance? !

Lu Yuan couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

This feeling was like waking up from a sleep and suddenly finding that he had been sent to a foreign country with a boat ticket.

Of course, he didn't mean to blame Yu Wentong.

Put yourself in his shoes, Yuwen Tong's decision is undoubtedly the most beneficial to him.

If he is really captured by the so-called Bai family and the family behind "Andusa", it is estimated that he will be miserable.

Speaking of which, Yuwen Tong, who chose to stay alone to face everything, may be in a worse situation than himself.

Even worse than Wandering Starry Sky.

But even knowing this, Lu Yuan can't do anything.

In front of the high-level literary starry sky family, he and Yuwen Tong are just ants who can't help themselves and survive in the cracks.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and calmed down his irritable mood.

He checked his injuries first.

The situation is better than he expected.

After the "broken pill", the body is like a battlefield that has just been bombed by a nuclear bomb, full of devastation.

But there are two forces flowing in his body.

One force was familiar to Lu Yuan, coming from the phoenix essence that had been in his body before.

The other force... he was not sure.

The two forces intertwined and were constantly seeping into every cell of his body.

"The immortal characteristics of the phoenix's nirvana rebirth."

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered.

In the process of absorbing the phoenix essence for a long time, his body naturally contained a trace of the phoenix's bloodline power.

His life potential was almost completely absorbed by "Andusa".

After the vortex generated by the synthesis of the professional panel swallowed "Andusa", Lu Yuan's life potential used as "bait" did not get any return.

In this dying situation, the phoenix's nirvana rebirth characteristics contained in his blood were activated.

The first step for the phoenix to be reborn from the ashes is to burn the flesh and blood first, and give birth to a new life in the ashes of despair.

But it was at this step

Lu Yuan was stuck.

Another mysterious power in his body was protecting his last bit of life, providing new life energy continuously.

This made it impossible for the power of the phoenix in Lu Yuan's blood to be fully exerted.

The whole person was in an extremely embarrassing situation -

he couldn't live, and he couldn't die.

He could only endure this "half-dead" state.

"This power should come from Yuwen Tong."

Lu Yuan guessed the origin of the mysterious power in his body. Apart from Yuwen Tong, he couldn't think of a second possibility.

It's not that Yuwen Tong was doing bad things with good intentions.

Because Lu Yuan knew very well that with only the little bit of phoenix blood power he absorbed and transformed, it was estimated that it didn't even have one ten-millionth of the effect of the real phoenix blood.

When most of the phoenix's life essence was consumed, it was impossible to be reborn from the ashes like the real phoenix in myths and legends.

If it weren't for the mysterious blood power injected into his body by Yu Wentong, the moment the fire of rebirth of the phoenix was truly ignited, he would be completely gg.

The phoenix that failed to rebirth in the Embers Mountain is the best example.

But now the problem has been found, but Lu Yuan still has no idea how to solve it.

He has no idea how to deal with the current situation, so he can only let it develop on its own for the time being.

But Lu Yuan discovered one thing.

When these two forces conflict with each other, their goals conflict, and they help each other on a certain level, they also have a strange connection with a part of his body.

This part is exactly where his Grandmaster Blood Pill stayed before.

After Lu Yuan broke the "Great Blood Pill" that he had cultivated bit by bit with great effort, the center of his chest became a piece of. Chaos? !

He didn't know how to describe it.

Anyway, there was a gray fog between illusion and reality surging in that place.

Lu Yuan tried to use his mental power to reach in and explore, but the feedback he got was nothingness.

"Don't tell me. This is a new realm above the three flowers and five qi of the martial arts master?!"

Lu Yuan blinked, and suddenly remembered the murals of the little people he had seen in the Penglai Hutian Secret Realm.

After the three flowers gathered at the top and the five qi returned to the origin, the "inner world" was born in the body of the little man in the mural, which is the so-called "Hutian Secret Realm".

He has already completed the three flowers, and the five qi has just begun.

But the step of "breaking the pill" is correct.

Not to mention that it is possible to enter the next realm of the martial arts master by mistake.

But this step is also congenitally deficient and extremely embarrassing.

It is a "skipping class and skipping grades". The step is too big and it will directly hurt the balls.

This "inner world" looks half dead and can't be opened up.

"Even the [Martial Arts Grandmaster (Extraordinary)] occupation panel has completely turned gray. It is really wishful thinking to want to jump directly to the realm of opening up the inner world."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He felt that his current physical condition could only be described in one word, that is - chaos!

It was a mess, so messy that he didn't know how to sort it out one by one.

He thought about finding inspiration from the new profession that swallowed "Andusa" and was about to be opened.

As a result, this super new profession that he had high hopes for seemed to have entered into new discussions and deductions again after "Andusa" joined passionately.

It was still a gray vortex spinning around, like a mouse circle that was always in a "waiting" state.

When Lu Yuan was having a headache because of the "post-disaster reconstruction" work in his body.

Fortunately, the cuckoo bird, which was in charge of driving the spaceship, had "good news" coming in frequently.

"The spaceship was damaged, the energy was insufficient, the route was deviated, and the anchor point was missing"

After listening to the "narration" of the cuckoo bird in front of him, Lu Yuan laughed out of anger.

"Excuse me, can you repeat it again?"

"Cuckoo——"

The cuckoo bird raised a wing and scratched its round head, making an "embarrassed" look.

Then he loudly explained that it was not easy for it to achieve the current step as a bird.

Moreover, when he discussed with Yu Wentong and decided to send Lu Yuan away, the situation was urgent and there was no time to check the spaceship properly, so who knew there were so many problems.

Lu Yuan was too lazy to listen to the cuckoo bird making excuses.

He had discovered this guy's bad luck constitution early on.

As long as he was with it, nothing good would happen anyway.

Even if there are good things, there will inevitably be a wave of bad luck after the good things.

After so many times, he is almost used to it.

The enclosed Soul Devouring Clan spaceship is not exposed to the sun, and Lu Yuan extends the little remaining mental power through the spaceship.

As soon as the mental power is extended out of the spaceship, as long as it is a little away from the spaceship, it will be immediately worn out by the powerful force.

Lu Yuan can only barely "see"-

The Soul Devouring Clan spaceship he is riding is now glowing all over, like a blazing fireball.

Cutting through the cold and dark starry sky, it slides rapidly towards a bright piece in the distance

"Okay."

Lu Yuan retracted his mental power, exhaled a long breath, and lay relaxed in the spaceship cabin.

Looking up at the dark red top of the cabin, he murmured with some abandon: "It seems that this time it is really going to be reincarnated, and the Hades warriors are back."

"Gu~~"
