Chapter 541 Two lies, one truth (please vote for the big chapter!)
The bottom of the abyss of destruction.
The dark flames of destruction gathered together and turned into bricks covered with runes, trying to bridge the pit into flat ground.
But the majestic and brilliant eternal light is tireless and destroys everything in the abyss all the time.
Wound.
It can never be bridged.
But the eternal power remains at a baseline, neither rising nor falling.
This strikes a delicate balance.
——Most of the power of the Destruction Abyss must be continuously used to heal wounds.
It cannot regain the power of its heyday.
But due to its efforts——
Even the art of eternity cannot completely penetrate it.
This situation lasted for an extremely long time, until one day——
Augustus committed suicide and broke into this place.
boom! ! !
The blazing eternal light rose into the sky and turned into a giant pillar, wiping out all the surrounding darkness into ashes.
Augustus was hiding behind a rock not far away.
He went through a lot of hardships and finally found this balance point between destruction and eternal confrontation.
In this position, you will not be affected by the two forces.
Only here is temporarily safe.
"Damn..."
He panted, looking down at the large and small wounds on his body, and finally despaired.
——This is the world of destruction!
There is no way to return to the world of truth from here.
Unless you become a servant of destruction.
But my own consciousness belongs to the withered scepter of the creation of truth——
He is the "withering truth"!
There is a difference between "withering" and "destruction".
——Unlike that ship, it can smoothly "evolve" to destruction.
At this point, there is nothing we can do.
You can only use that technique.
Augustus sighed silently in his heart, slowly raised his hands, and began to form magic seals.
——"Withered giant tree".
People usually only notice the falling leaves and lament the inevitable withering.
But withering is actually to better allow the "roots" to maintain their strength and survive the harshest natural environment.
Augustus held the seal with both hands and could not perform this technique for a long time.
Because once he casts "Withered Giant Tree", he himself will die.
Only the Withering Scepter can gather all its power, like useless dead branches and stones, sinking into the depths of the ground, quietly waiting for changes over the long years.
Maybe one day——
When this abyss is completely destroyed, the Withering Scepter will wake up and see what the situation is like.
finally.
Augustus sighed.
He began to inject power into the seal on his hand, preparing to activate this "withering giant tree".
At this fateful moment, something suddenly appeared in his hand.
——It is a black mobile phone.
drop!
The phone screen lights up.
A cold and ruthless electronic sound sounded from the mobile phone:
"If you're going to talk to Baxter, this is your only chance."
"You can give up this opportunity, or you can call him. The decision is yours."
Augustus' eyelids twitched.
——This is the treasure of truth.
Why can a treasure of truth appear in the abyss of destruction?
It is said that it can only reach places that its owner can reach.
Yes.
The other party has abilities.
Augustus smiled sarcastically.
That's it.
Do you want to ask for mercy?
No.
Absolutely impossible.
But at this last moment, I could actually cause him some trouble.
——Trouble enough to make him regret it!
Just think of this.
He answered the phone.
"Du...Hello? Augustus?"
Shen Ye's voice sounded from the receiver.
"It's me, I have something to tell you, please listen carefully." Augustus said.
"Please speak."
"The Abyss of Destruction is an extremely important manifestation of power in the Great Tribulation of Destruction. If its main god is defeated, other main gods of destruction will come to deal with it and devour it."
"In this way, the Lord of the Abyss who advocated the invasion of the world of truth has completely failed."
"Our world is about to turn around."
"If you didn't lie to me, then this information is indeed valuable - do you want to exchange this information with me for something?" Shen Ye asked.
Augustus smiled coldly.
——I just made nonsense.
Next, is the most important thing.
"I saw that eternal art. It was actually just a little short of breaking through the abyss."
"——I only have the power of withering."
"Maybe you can try?"
Augustus said.
On the other side of the phone, Shen Ye fell into thought.
If the abyss is penetrated, the power to destroy the Lord of the Abyss will be greatly reduced.
The world of truth will get a little breathing space.
But was Augustus telling the truth?
——In fact, you don’t have to care about the truth or falsehood.
The most important thing is——
The truth phone cannot be suppressed.
Because it will only be activated and appear under the premise of "possibly changing destiny".
Until then, Augustus had no idea it was coming.
so.
When it appears, it means that "the call between the two parties is likely to change the fate" is established.
Whether what Augustus said is true or not——
This much is certain.
"So, Augustus, you have said so much, what do you want to gain?"
Shen Ye asked.
"I want to return to the world of truth," said Augustus.
"Okay." Shen Ye said.
Augustus was startled.
Logically speaking, the two sides had conflicts every time they met, and they had already formed a deadly feud.
How could the other party kindly let me go?
Obviously, he only has this method to trap himself in the abyss of destruction and plunge himself into death.
Once you go back by yourself, it is equivalent to the dragon returning to the sea.
He can no longer kill himself!
But——
He promised to let himself go!
ridiculous.
Did he think he could subdue himself just because he subdued the ship?
Once back to the world of truth——
I will kill him with my own hands!
"You agree?"
Augustus asked again.
"The premise is that you want to help me." Shen Ye said.
"Help you?"
"Yes, do one thing for me. Only if you do that thing can I have a chance to help the eternal art break through the abyss."
"What is it?"
"Sign the contract first and you will know."
A contract appeared before Augustus' eyes.
He looked intently and saw the concise content written on the contract:
"The Wither Scepter and its owner Augustus must fully assist Baxter in capturing a primitive spirit of destruction."
"As Augustus has done this, Baxter will immediately open the door and send him back to the world of truth."
"But if Augustus violates the terms agreed in this contract, he will be backlashed by the contract and deprived of his life."
The original spirit of destruction?
The world of truth also has the original spirit of truth.
The original spirit is a spirit that was born together with the world and has the unique power of the world.
It can be regarded as the top of magic spirits.
——They are extremely rare and precious existences, possessing all kinds of incredible powers.
Augustus sneered first, and then became curious.
The sneer is because this contract is densely covered with some familiar power, and I have dealt with it many times.
That damn ship!
It has unique skills in contracts.
Having it make and monitor this contract means that you cannot lie about the contents of the contract!
As for curiosity——
"Why capture the original spirit of destruction?"
Augustus asked.
"I won't tell you until you sign the contract," Shen Ye said.
August didn't hesitate much.
After all, after using the "Withered Giant Tree", his body will die.
And his consciousness will return to the scepter, lying deep underground and sleeping for endless years, and he doesn't know if he will see the light of day again.
Now there is a chance to give it a try!
"Sign it and sign it."
Augustus said.
He signed his name on the contract.
The contract immediately disappeared and appeared in front of Shen Ye.
Shen Ye also signed.
——The contract is established!
"Look up."
Shen Ye said.
Augustus looked up and saw Shen Ye standing on a cliff, on a protruding rock.
Damn it.
Augustus cursed secretly.
This is the bottom of the abyss, where the forces of destruction and eternity continue to collide with each other, and the erupting waves cover up all movements.
He straightened up and flew towards Shen Ye.
"Let's talk about it first. This is just a transaction between you and me. After we go back, we will return to the bridge and the road to the road."
Augustus said.
"Of course." Shen Ye nodded in agreement.
"Then it's time for you to tell me why you are looking for a primitive spirit of destruction." Augustus said.
"Look at me." Shen Ye said.
Augustus looked at him and saw that his whole body was covered with a faint flame of destruction.
You have to work hard to release the power of truth and contend with the ubiquitous destructive power in order to ensure safety.
But this kid——
"The flames of destruction must cover the whole body to ensure that no one is accidentally injured." Shen Ye said.
"Where did you get the flames of destruction?" Augustus asked.
Shen Ye said nothing.
But a huge black shadow quietly emerged behind him, looking like an abyss monster.
——Ship of Destruction.
It has completely surrendered to destruction, its core elements have been changed to "evolution of destruction", and all its strength has been transformed into the power of destruction.
"A cunning and fickle guy."
Augustus said disdainfully.
"Anyway, with the power of destruction, I am in a safe situation here." Shen Ye said.
"I understand that - but what does this have to do with destroying the primordial spirit?" Augustus asked.
"I have received reliable information. Only the original spirit of destruction can penetrate into the depths of that eternal art." Shen Ye said.
"Is this possible..." Augustus pondered, "Even if you destroy the original spirit, you will not be immune to that eternal art."
"I can't tell you this." Shen Ye looked at him warily, as if he was afraid that he would spill the beans.
"Okay, let's get started." Augustus said.
"Follow me." Shen Ye said.
The two of them jumped up and flew towards the top of the cliff.
It flew for a full quarter of an hour.
Shen Ye's speed slowly slowed down.
"Almost there."
Augustus looked up and saw a cave in the cliff.
"Up."
Shen Ye shouted.
The huge black shadow behind him flew up first and got into the cave.
Fierce spell waves came from the cave.
The battle quickly reached a stalemate.
"The last time we came here, we failed to conquer this primitive spirit of destruction. Now it's your turn to help."
Shen Ye said.
Augustus looked at him and then looked at the cave, his expression a little solemn.
Can't the Ship of Destruction take down the opponent?
——The fighting power of this primitive spirit is quite strong.
Not to be underestimated.
And it seems that there are some secrets that the other party is not willing to tell me.
Then I'll go see it myself!
Augustus flew up, holding the Wither Scepter, and carefully fell into the cave.
He glanced back.
Baxter stood not far away, his whole body protected by black flames, his expression a little nervous.
Nervous...
Are you afraid that the capture will fail?
An extremely powerful attack came from the cave.
Augustus immediately waved his staff and released a protective spell.
The attack was immediately blocked.
But the power contained in this attack was something he had never seen before.
——Quite powerful destructive power!
It was like an extremely powerful mountain, pressing down on itself with overwhelming force.
"Uh-ahhhh-"
Augustus shouted, waved his staff, and once again strengthened the protective spell.
But the next moment.
The overwhelming power of destruction turned into an endless sea of power.
"Awesome."
Augustus uttered two words excitedly.
Generally speaking.
Primordial spirits have various strange abilities, but they are not necessarily very strong in combat.
There is a saying.
——A primitive spirit that is even strong in combat must be stronger than an ordinary primitive spirit!
Why must Baxter get this original spirit?
Augustus was thinking when he suddenly heard the cry of the ship of destruction coming from deep in the cave:
"It's escaping!"
"Catch it, don't let it get away!"
Augustus calmed down, waved his scepter, and spread out a network of truth spells on the spot.
The next moment.
A black duck suddenly appeared in front of him.
This duck——
Is it the original spirit?
Augustus did not dare to be careless and showed his true skills directly.
"Withering all things."
He groaned and pointed his scepter at the duck.
The black duck suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move at all.
“Well done!”
Baxter shouted excitedly, took out the long shackles, and rushed towards the duck.
The duck's face shows a look of despair and sadness similar to that of humans.
This moment.
Augustus looked at the duck calmly, looking at the special shackles raised in Baxter's hand, predicting the coming outcome.
One second later.
The duck was caught.
Baxter gets this original spirit.
His contract with Baxter will also be completely completed.
——Baxter must open the door and send himself back.
But - why does it have to be this way?
Is there no other benefit in this matter?
Ding Ling clang!
The shackles were thrown out and missed, failing to catch the duck.
"What do you mean?"
Baxter looked over, sullenly, and asked.
"Don't worry, we have a contract, of course I will give it to you - but I want to find out what is going on with this primitive spirit." Augustus smiled.
He took the time to observe the duck in his hands.
Duck——
The original spirit indeed.
It is indeed an existence on the side of destruction.
The latest chapter of this book
Take a look at the 16-9 book bar!
I have never seen it myself!
also.
The original spirit has self-awareness and reason.
Instead of asking Baxter, why not just ask it!
"Tell me what abilities you have - otherwise if you are captured by this man, you will never be free."
Augustus preached.
"Gah! I can take other beings with me and shuttle between the power of eternity and the power of destruction at will."
"Please help me!"
The duck flapped its wings in panic.
I see.
Augustus understood, but was a little uninterested.
If that eternal art is just a little short of being able to penetrate the abyss——
Well Baxter is doing the right thing.
Catch this duck, let it take it with you to the eternal art, and penetrate the abyss with all your strength.
This can indeed save the world of truth.
but!
I lied to him.
Only the devil knows what lies deep in that eternal art!
Augustus was about to throw the duck out, but the sound of the duck sounded again in his ears:
"Please save me."
"If you save me, I will take you to the depths of the eternal art."
"There is a powerful set of destruction armor there."
"The Abyss of Destruction relied on that suit of armor to block the Eternal Art!"
Augustus was shocked and his expression changed.
Originally it was just a lie.
——Who would have thought that there really is something!
If you think about it carefully, it's actually right.
If there was nothing below, the abyss would have been blasted through by the Eternal Art after it continued to attack for an unknown amount of time.
treasure!
Can withstand the full blow of the eternal world, that armor must be an extremely important treasure!
Although my compatibility with the destruction side is not that high——
Augustus looked at Shen Ye.
absolute.
cannot.
Let him.
get!
He and I are mortal enemies. If he gets that suit of armor and the power of the Ship of Destruction——
Then you will be in trouble!
Besides, with this primitive spirit, I would be safe in the abyss.
Instead of pinning your hopes on the contract jointly created by Baxter and the Ship of Destruction, it is better to hold your life tightly in your own hands!
What if they try to pay the price of the backlash of the contract and kill me?
In that case.
Once they left, he was left alone in this endless abyss of destruction.
You will die!
But——
As long as you have this duck, you are safe!
so.
Survive first.
I will wait for an opportunity to return to the world of truth later.
This is the reliable choice!
It’s slow to say, but who was Augustus?
In just a few breaths, he had thought through the whole thing.
"Thank you very much, and you must thank me as well."
Augustus said.
"What do you mean?" Shen Ye asked solemnly.
Augustus pinched the long neck of the black duck and said proudly:
"Baxter, this incident will also teach you a lesson."
"Never trust your enemy——"
"He is likely to be able to withstand the backlash of violating the contract, and he must want to take the initiative in his own hands!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Augustus flashed and took the duck towards the bottom of the abyss.
"Help me to help you."
He said to the duck.
The duck quacked twice and flapped its wings obediently.
A mysterious power fluctuation quietly occurred.
Threads of darkness and light emanated from the duck's wings and enveloped Augustus.
This moment.
No more destructive power came near, no force attempted to harm Augustus.
Success!
I have obtained this primitive spirit, and it can indeed guarantee my safety!
The cause of everything is just a little lie.
——It is boring when the enemy is too naive.
Augustus didn't care about the scolding coming from behind him, nor did he care about the chasing techniques.
"Can you really enter that eternal art?"
he asked.
"Gah, it's not a big deal." Duck said.
"Let's go!"
Augustus and Duck rushed into the blazing pillar of light formed by the Eternal Art.
The brilliant and surging light suddenly enveloped me.
But they seemed to be assimilated by the power in the duck.
He and the duck stood in the light, unscathed!
Corresponding——
The attack techniques released by Baxter and the Ark of Destruction hit the eternal light pillar without causing any ripples!
——You are safe!
"Hahaha!"
Augustus couldn't help but laugh.
"Go and get that armor?"
Duck said.
"Let's go!" Augustus bowed gracefully to Baxter outside the beam of light, and then fell downwards with the duck.
Amid the furious scoldings of Baxter and the Ship of Destruction——
Augustus went deep into the pit.
Together with the duck, he fell towards the deepest part of the sinkhole.
They fell quickly.
After a few seconds.
Baxter and the Ship of Destruction were no longer visible outside the sinkhole.
But it doesn't matter.
The duck continues to emit two powers of destruction and eternity, covering itself and Augustus, ensuring that both are safe and sound.
One person and one duck continue to fall.
A few hours later——
They finally fell into the deepest part of the entire abyss of destruction and even the eternal sinkhole.
There is actually a lake here.
Although it is said to be a lake, it is actually not an ordinary lake.
Because the eternal power here is too strong, they gathered together to form a lake of light that will never shrink!
The power emanating from this lake is no weaker than that of the Destruction Abyss!
"It's amazing..."
Augustus sighed.
——I originally lied to Baxter, but I didn’t expect that there was something unusual down there.
"Gah!"
The duck also let out a low cry.
——I originally lied to Augustus, but I didn’t expect that there was something really abnormal down there.
Maybe that's why Truth Phone was activated?
"Where's the armor you're talking about?"
asked Augustus.
"At the bottom of the lake - the legend goes like this, but as you can see, this is my first time here, and I have never seen such a spectacular lake, the source of power." Duck said.
——Its voice was filled with sincerity and slight gratitude.
"That's it...Then I'll wait here while you go down and look for me."
Augustus said.
At this moment, he still maintained the most cautious attitude.
——Never put yourself at risk in a strange place!
He tried to cast forbidden spells again, hoping to use some means on the duck.
In fact, it shouldn't have been done.
It will reduce mutual trust.
But in the face of life, trust is nothing.
The magic in Augustus' hands was quickly condensed successfully - but soon, his power was dissipated by the endless power of eternity.
——The eternal power here is too strong to cast the spell of truth!
Augustus couldn't help but sigh irritably.
He possesses the twenty-first level of the art of truth, so he can use it if he has to.
But the power here is too terrifying. If it triggers any bad reaction, it will be over.
never mind.
He comforted himself.
There is only one lake here.
The duck has nowhere to run even if he wants to!
"Gah, okay! I'll go look for it!"
The duck quacked, flapped its wings, and enveloped Augustus with the power of eternity, temporarily sheltering him before flying towards the lake.
This made Augustus feel a little more at ease.
The duck landed on the lake, plunged into the water, and quickly disappeared.
The entire lake was glowing with dazzling light.
There was no way to detect what was at the bottom of the lake.
——Only this kind of two-element primitive spirit can detect one or two things.
Augustus thought silently.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Just when he felt a little uneasy, the duck suddenly surfaced.
"See that suit of armor!"
Duck shouted.
Augustus was inexplicably relieved and said: "Bring them up."
"No, it's too heavy - they come in a box."
Duck shook his head.
"...Let me take a look." Augustus said.
He walked to the lake, submerged his head in the water, and looked in the direction pointed by the duck.
There was indeed a big box at the bottom of the lake.
It is a rectangular metal box with a rectangular metal cover that is tightly locked.
"My natural magic cannot be used here, and I can't move it with just my strength!"
Duck shouted.
Yes...
Even I can't cast spells here.
A primitive duck-like spirit really cannot move such a heavy metal box.
Augustus raised his head and took out the storage ring.
But the spatial fluctuations of the ring were directly erased by the power of eternity.
Can't open at all.
"It seems there is no other way." Duck looked at the ring on his hand, showing a hint of disdain.
Augustus was silent for a moment.
How dare a duck look down on himself?
——You think there is nothing I can do, do you?
He lowered his head into the water again and looked carefully at the entire lake.
There is nothing in the lake.
Safety.
Then——
It would be interesting if I appeared in front of it wearing this suit of armor in the future.
"I'll go down myself."
Augustus said.
"Be careful, the eternal power here is quite strong. I want to bless you with an extra layer of eternal protection." Duck said.
"Thank you very much," said Augustus.
After the duck finished blessing him, he sank into the water and slowly dived towards the box.
Hold the Wither Scepter tightly all the way, ready to cast spells at any time.
But nothing happened.
——There are only myself and the duck here.
After all, nothing can survive such a high intensity of great power for long.
Augustus continued to swim forward.
The duck carefully guarded the side. Even if there was a slight movement, it would look towards the place where the movement came from vigilantly.
Augustus looked funny and said:
"Don't be nervous, that person can't get off."
"I'm afraid that the Lord of the Abyss will come back - this is his forbidden area, and no one is allowed to come near." Duck said.
Augustus nodded slightly.
Yes.
If I were the Lord of the Abyss, I would not allow anyone to come near this place.
But at this time, the Lord of the Abyss was fighting with the spirit trap.
None of them will obey anyone.
Last time, it was because I was worried about the existence of the earth, so I didn't take full action.
This time.
They still have some time to fight.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen for now. We'll just get our things and leave."
Augustus said.
The duck still seemed a little nervous and kept looking around.
Augustus no longer cared about this primitive spirit.
He has dived right above the box!
Augustus took a deep breath, grabbed the rectangular cover, and lifted it hard——
A powerful wave of power suddenly struck.
Augustus couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood.
It's a contract backlash!
Why is it at this time!
He grasped the Wither Scepter tightly, ready to cast a spell at any time, but soon changed to holding it flat, as if he was ready to perform a melee attack on time.
——Spells cannot be released here!
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" came the duck's voice.
It was quiet.
Nothing.
Only ducks.
Augustus endured the pain of his soul being devoured and forced out a smile:
"It's okay, I'll just take it easy."
Sudden changes occurred——
The box suddenly jumped up - no, it was lifted up by a giant, and Augustus was put inside at once.
Augustus was calm and wanted to fight back immediately.
But everything around him changed in an instant.
He found himself in a complete darkness of nothingness.
far away.
In the endless dark void, densely packed servants of destruction quietly appeared.
Terrifying breaths came from outside the world.
——What is this place?
Augustus couldn't help but think.
But it’s too late to think about anything——
The endless ray of destruction swept through, just as it did every time it cleared the life of the eternal world.
"Do it."
Augustus uttered a word.
other side.
The bottom of the eternal lake.
"It's done, Uncle Qi," Duck said.
But the giant squatted on the ground, still looking at the treasure box.
"You're too bad. It's obviously a door, but it turns out to be a box lid - and you lied to people that it's a treasure box." Uncle Qi said.
"I also want to live." Duck defended.
It opened its mouth and spat.
A small thing suddenly floated in the lake.
——This is the treasure of the Eternal Lake!
It just dived down and saw this amazing thing right away!
