Chapter 1082: Destined

Locking the evil dragon here... Fifth Generation Celestial Master... Lu Mian recalled what he had seen during the previous secret pact ritual and vaguely understood something.

He did not stop there, passed by the mottled stone tablet, and walked into the wooden high tower.

There were no gas wall lamps inside the high tower, nor were there lit candles, relying entirely on the sunlight barely penetrating the thin paper windows to bring a little brightness.

This did not affect Lu Mian's observation of his surroundings. He only felt that the first floor of the high tower was exceptionally empty, with towering and intersecting beams all around, and stone steps leading to the underground area in the middle.

Lu Mian walked familiarly toward the stairwell that seemed to be covered by a layer of shadow.

After walking a few steps, he suddenly raised his head and looked to the side, only to see a young man wearing night-traveling clothes quietly lying on a crossbeam made of round wood in the exceptionally dim environment.

The man had a thin face, a broad forehead, and overall decent facial features. His black eyes were bright and spirited, and his figure seemed to have merged with the darkness.

Because Lu Mian was looking up, the two people's gazes collided, and the hood also lost its covering effect.

The man immediately muttered a sentence in a language Lu Mian didn't understand, with a look of disgust, and climbed up to the floors above with a "ceng ceng ceng" sound, disappearing quickly.

Another outsider? He could actually bypass the protection of those "monks" and sneak into this weird wooden tower? Although he didn't use extraordinary abilities just now, his ability is not small... Lu Mian, who possessed "Dark Vision", was not affected by the dimness above and used his gaze to track the trail of the young man just now, but couldn't find him no matter what.

Lu Mian, who vaguely felt that the other party was still observing him, smiled like this with his face up, smiling very brightly.

"Charm"!

"Charm" targeting all creatures present!

With a "thud", the young man didn't know where he fell from and crashed onto a crossbeam.

He cursed, and like a gecko, quickly crawled upward, completely leaving the lower floors of the wooden high tower, as if dodging snakes and scorpions.

Lu Mian didn't understand what he was cursing, but felt that the pronunciation was very similar to the sentence he was scolded with in the telegraph office:

"Ce Na!"

After confirming that the young man was no longer watching him, Lu Mian walked down the steps paved with gray stones step by step and disappeared into the stairwell covered in shadows.

I don't know how long it took, he finally arrived at the very bottom of the wooden high tower and saw the ancient water well hidden in the darkness, saw the strips of stone covered in moss, and saw the iron chains extending from the strips of stone into the depths of the ancient well.

There were a large number of reliefs on these iron chains, all depicting faces, each face exceptionally ferocious, strange, and bizarre, like evil ghosts.

"It's quite similar to that armor of Chen Tu... Did the 'Netherworld Daoist' also participate in the matter of locking the evil dragon? Or, His teacher, the teacher's teacher?" Lu Mian already knew that "Celestial Master" corresponded to the "Reader" and "Savant" pathways, and these iron-black chains didn't look like His handiwork.

Lu Mian poked his head out, his line of sight moved downward, and at the bottom of the ancient well, he saw a water surface that seemed to be gathered from the blood of thousands of people.

This was thick, eerie, and emitted a strong fishy and rusty smell.

Lu Mian instinctively raised his right hand and touched his nose, discovering that he didn't bleed like he did during the last secret pact, and his state could even be called good.

"Is this because I have already accepted the gift of calamity and obtained the power of the 'War Bishop', equivalent to being one of their own?" Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully, looking at the thick blood water that didn't reflect his head and face, and said in Ancient Hermes:

"The power at the pinnacle of calamity, the supreme and great existence, your humble servant wants to ask you to tell me, where can I obtain the extraordinary characteristics that can help me advance?"

Lu Mian never cared about his own face, and saying these words was simply easy for him.

However, he wasn't sure if the so-called "evil dragon" locked in the depths of the ancient well could understand his words.

To make it easier for the other party to understand, he didn't even use terms like "Weather Warlock", Sequence 2, or Mythical Creature.

People in the Western Continent should have never seen the Blasphemy Slate!

After a short, indescribable silence, the blood-colored water surface reflected a scene.

That was a rotting, pus-oozing arm covered in tattered armor, propped on the ground, higher than a broken stone pillar. Invisible flames mixed with pus kept falling from the crack to the ground, which ignited the earth, ignited the air, and made everything around burn fiercely, never stopping.

Lu Mian retreated two steps violently, not daring to look directly.

The residual aura of the 'Blood Emperor' boiling in his palm told him that the scene just now corresponded to the corpse of Alista Tudor lying in the depths of the Fourth Epoch Trier.

There is a "Weather Warlock" extraordinary characteristic there? Lu Mian nodded slightly, returned to the side of the ancient well again, and looked at the thick blood water.

On the surface of the blood water, the scene had already changed. A piece of darkness filled that place, and inside, there seemed to be a tall figure silently watching Lu Mian.

Lu Mian made a judgment with the help of spiritual intuition:

That is the "Blood Emperor" in the mirror hidden in the treasury of the "Ghost Blue Avenger"!

I want to obtain the "Weather Warlock" extraordinary characteristic, but I can't bypass Alista Tudor at all? Is it not possible to obtain it from the leader of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order"? Lu Mian had just frowned when, in the depths of the ancient well, at the bottom of that piece of blood water, a massive suction force suddenly came out.

Lu Mian was unable to resist for a moment. This was both the instinct of high-level extraordinary characteristics strongly wanting to aggregate, and it also stemmed from the gift on his body and his current state of being only pure spirit or pure consciousness.

He was pulled and fell into the well, falling toward the depths.

Just in the blink of an eye, when Lu Mian tried to stimulate the black mark on his right shoulder to "teleport" away, his body touched the water surface formed by the thick blood.

He didn't stir up a single ripple and passed through it, just like a high-level witch stepping into the Mirror World.

Lu Mian suddenly had an epiphany:

The water surface is also a mirror surface...

I didn't enter the place where the evil dragon is locked, but the corresponding Mirror World...

His eyes went dark, then red, and his whole body was completely soaked in the blood water.

The fishy smell and rusty smell followed the viscous liquid into his nostrils, wanting to fill his lungs and body.

Lu Mian didn't feel pain, but instead felt very comfortable, as if he had returned to his own source, returned to the hometown he had dreamed of.

This piece of blood-colored ocean seemed to have no water surface. No matter how Lu Mian floated up, he couldn't get out of it and couldn't breathe fresh air.

He saw corpses floating past him one by one, either without heads or only with heads left, dragging white-boned spines like long tails, thousands of them, countless.

Lu Mian followed these corpses and swam, wanting to see where they would float to.

Just like this, he and the corpses drifted forward for a long time along the direction of the blood-colored dark current.

The headless bodies and heads with spines in front became more and more numerous, gradually presenting a state of congestion.

This was like there should be an exit not far ahead, but too many corpses were surging over, blocking it.

Lu Mian chose to bypass the congested area and approach the "destination" from the side.

Although this couldn't let him squeeze in, he just wanted to see what the situation was like in front.

After swimming for a while, Lu Mian finally saw the target location.

That was a pitch-black water eye, blocked by thousands of corpses, and there were still "fish schools" surging from behind.

The corpses blocked in the water eye were all swollen, with patches of dark-green rotting marks on their body surfaces.

Lu Mian suddenly associated this with the lady who took a rickshaw and covered her face with a flower-and-bird fan.

Did she run out from here? Or is she the controller of these corpses? Lu Mian shook his head, not feeling that he had the possibility of squeezing into the water eye.

There were too many corpses blocked there, and he didn't know what kind of changes burning them with fire would bring.

That would likely make the situation worse!

Just at this moment, the blocked water eye trembled violently, as if someone was trying to tunnel through from the other side.

Splash!

A large number of corpses that had originally blocked the water eye were suddenly "swallowed" in, and those behind finally had the opportunity to approach.

And this also caused some pitch-black, lightless water to ripple open.

Lu Mian was affected and pushed to the distance, and the blood color before his eyes quickly became illusory.

Amidst the illusion, he saw a huge black shadow coiled up.

That black shadow lay at the bottom of the blood-colored ocean, completely occupying an area the size of Trier.

Lu Mian was sucked over and fell down, but couldn't truly approach or truly see that black shadow clearly.

One in the mirror, one in reality.

In front of that black shadow was a square with gray-white stones, each side tens of kilometers long. On the square stood giant pillars, either pitch-black, blood-red, or gray-white, supporting an invisible barrier, not allowing the blood-colored seawater to erode inside.

Lu Mian fell onto this square, and standing in front of him was a full-length mirror.

That full-length mirror was made of pure silver mixed with other metals, with complex patterns around it, and the shape was very classical.

Seeing this mirror, Lu Mian's spirit suddenly tightened.

Isn't this the mirror in the treasury of the "Ghost Blue Avenger"?

The one hiding Alista in the mirror!

Why is there one here too?

Or rather, does the one in the treasury of the "Ghost Blue Avenger" lead to this one?

Are they one of the results of the various crazy attempts of the "Blood Emperor" Alista Tudor?

Lu Mian instinctively wanted to stay away from that silver full-length mirror, to avoid it reflecting his figure, but on the surface of the mirror, a person hidden in the mirror had already stood out.

That person was wearing black armor stained with blood, with long hair shimmering with faint blood light, facial lines that looked like they were carved by a knife, lips tightly pursed, revealing a firm and rigid temperament, and the blue eyes were full of cruelty and madness.

In the next second, this person in the mirror stretched the right palm wearing an armored glove out of the cold and hard mirror surface.

He walked out of the full-length mirror step by step, as if he didn't care at all that Lu Mian would take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
