Chapter 260: The Gate of the Endless Dark Dead Kingdom

Mysterious Tower Level 40.

In this extremely special level, the kingdom of the dead is hidden.

Every time he enters a scene, Wen Xishu will have a period of blurred consciousness, as if falling into chaos.

Until he opens his eyes.

But this time, after Wen Xishu opened his eyes, the surroundings were still a piece of chaos.

He only felt that he seemed to be walking in a quagmire.

His footsteps became very heavy. Every step Wen Xishu took, he needed to lift his legs hard so as not to be stuck by the strange liquid under his feet.

Although this was the Mysterious Tower, without the Three Phases of Power, he could not use the Ultimate Kick, but Wen Xishu's leg strength was indeed very strong.

"What kind of place is this?"

Black, endless black.

He couldn't see anything. Fortunately, even without relying on vision, his current magic resistance was enough for Wen Xishu to perceive the surroundings.

The surroundings were endless "emptiness."

There was nothing, only these viscous liquids under his feet.

They hindered Wen Xishu's progress like mud.

Wen Xishu was a bit confused.

In such an empty and dark world, unable to see anything, with only the option of constantly moving forward, this made him feel a kind of fear in his heart.

Fear stems from the unknown.

Life and death are the most absolute laws, and this time his task seemed to be to reverse a person's life and death.

Bring the dead back to the human world.

This looked impossible to complete. If this could be completed... then the slaughter between constellations would become a joke.

So Wen Xishu was actually a bit afraid of any world related to death.

The number of people who could explore such a world was absolutely countable.

"Where am I? How long do I have to walk like this?"

This world had a very simple and crude punishment, called solitary confinement, locking people in a completely pitch-black space, making people unable to see anything, only oppression, and gradually they would forget time.

If this state lasted for a long time, they would begin to fear, be afraid, and go crazy.

Four hours.

Wen Xishu had been walking in this dark place in one direction for four hours.

During this process, Wen Xishu also took out the compass...

But it was useless. The compass didn't indicate anything here.

He walked for more than four hours, more than 240 minutes, more than 14,400 seconds.

In fact, Wen Xishu wasn't sure about these numbers; he was just counting constantly to prevent himself from collapsing, counting with his own footsteps.

One step per second was enough to show his slowness. More than 10,000 steps could actually go very, very far.

But Wen Xishu still couldn't see any "end."

Because of the darkness, and because this place was still an endless emptiness.

Even having experienced countless strange scenes, at this moment Wen Xishu was struggling a bit.

"Did I go wrong?"

He began to be confused.

No vision, black as if he had closed his eyes. He could walk in any direction.

If at this time, he questioned whether he had gone the wrong way, the pressure would be incomparable.

Because it had been four hours, and he couldn't see any clues.

And there were so many directions waiting for him. If this was a wrong path, then walking for four hours, was it even more outrageous?

The world of the dead must be very vast, even larger than the world of the living.

Could he really walk through it?

Eleven hours later.

Wen Xishu's will began to loosen, and he even thought that the answer might not be ahead.

But below.

Let himself lie down and let these black viscous liquids swallow him. Perhaps below, there was a world with light?

He actually did that, but strangely, those black liquids did intend to swallow Wen Xishu at first, and Wen Xishu also felt himself sinking...

But soon, he was pushed up by a force again.

He could even touch the "bottom."

Those black liquids seemed to refuse to swallow him, only simply hindering his walking.

Only eleven hours, Wen Xishu naturally wouldn't be desperate yet.

But unable to see any clues, any possibility, made Wen Xishu no longer calm.

"Damn it. How can this place be cracked?"

"Could it be that I have to stay here for seven days?"

"Annoying."

It made no sense. The sound couldn't hear an echo, the surroundings were empty, but also very vast.

Wen Xishu encountered this situation for the first time.

It was as if you were playing a game, in the game you controlled a car, the car drove forward, the scenery around you was always the same, and you couldn't see any vehicles, and the scenery ahead remained unchanged.

You couldn't even be sure if your car was really driving?

Wen Xishu now was like this.

He was even doubting himself: "Have I really been walking in a straight line?"

Research shows that after closing your eyes, people's footsteps often draw a circle.

Wen Xishu couldn't help but suspect that he was just drawing a strange circle.

Twenty-three hours later, his state of mind was severely damaged.

But even so, Wen Xishu was still keeping a straight line, at least... walking according to the straight line he imagined.

He still couldn't see anything, and he had no way to deal with this place.

The Scorpio Knife generated portals in many places...

But perhaps this place was too big, he never saw a portal.

He was also a bit tired.

Wen Xishu started to think about the taste of food for the first time. He had eaten many good things.

But now, he started to crave the compressed biscuits he had when he was executed.

Twenty-four hours.

Wen Xishu lay on the ground and fell asleep.

In his dream, Wen Xishu returned to his original world, and everyone in the Bunker appeared in his original world, only their identities had changed.

Albert became an old bachelor, but a very cool old bachelor.

Yue Yun was a basketball player, and Nisen was a DJ.

This dream woke up soon.

Wen Xishu opened his eyes...

Coming to Mysterious Tower level 40, it had been twenty-seven hours.

He only slept for three hours.

Usually, entering the world of the Mysterious Tower, Wen Xishu would touch the essence in just a few hours.

But now, almost thirty hours, he was trapped in an endless space... began to self-doubt, self-negate.

Finally, Wen Xishu took out the Competition Horn.

He hadn't gone crazy, just his mental state was a bit bad, because this environment seemed to contain some kind of power that made people upset.

Wen Xishu quickly calmed himself down.

"Discard those distracting thoughts, don't be anxious... don't be anxious, calm down."

"I will definitely be able to solve the puzzle."

"The current situation is that I received a question, and I want to solve this question, but strangely, nothing was written on the question, just an infinitely large piece of white paper."

"I keep looking for where the question is on the white paper, after all, I have to know the question to solve it."

"But the more I look, the more I feel... why is this paper so big? This white paper that should have had the question written on it seems infinitely large."

"So much so that I don't know if the question really exists."

Wen Xishu patted his face, patting it with a slap.

"My physique, really waiting here for seven days is nothing. So don't be anxious..."

Since he couldn't find the question, then he would write a question on the white paper himself.

Wen Xishu thought so, and used the Competition Horn. After touching the Competition Horn.

Wen Xishu only felt a sacred aura pouring into his body. Then, the following text appeared in his mind.

【This competition is: Brave vs. Demon King. The "Demon King" has been constructed. The Demon King will hunt down the Brave, the Demon King will have the ability to sense the Brave's location, and will hunt down the Brave at any cost.】

【Brave's victory method 1: Avoid the Demon King for more than 72 hours.】

【Brave's victory method 2: Imprison the Demon King.】

【Brave's victory method 3: Kill the Demon King.】

【The reward will be related to the victory method, killing the Demon King will get the maximum reward.】

【The competition begins. All creatures in this obsession world are eligible to participate.】

【Since the holder has the "Gold Horn," you will gain competitive profit.】

【Competitive assistance: Compared to other participants, you will gain Demon King vision.】

Wen Xishu was happy.

Alright, now there is a question on the white paper, no matter how huge the white paper is, where you hide the question...

Now it is not the only one I have to answer.

At least now, in this space, I am no longer the only one.

Even if there was one more enemy, as long as he was no longer lonely, Wen Xishu felt his mental state significantly recover.

Especially, Wen Xishu also noticed that he could now actively activate a new skill.

Demon King Vision.

"It seems that once activated, can I see what the Demon King can see?"

Wen Xishu decided to try.

He closed his eyes, and before long, some strange energy began to appear on him, turning into a faint purple halo.

Wen Xishu opened his eyes.

His pupils changed, becoming vertical pupils similar to beasts.

And the scene in his eyes was no longer pitch black.

But endless magma.

Countless things with human outlines, but somewhat illusory and transparent like ghosts, were constantly wailing in the magma.

The Demon King should be flying in the sky.

The Demon King seemed to have considerable wisdom, and he quickly frowned:

"Hell? Hell, why did I come here?"

Wen Xishu was very curious about what level the Demon King created by the Competition Horn was.

Actually recognized at a glance that this was hell?

"Damn it, actually using the Competition Horn in this kind of place to start a competition. Why can the dead use this kind of thing?"

"No... could it be that a living person came to the kingdom of the dead?"

The Demon King thought of this point and felt fear himself.

"Are the challengers now already so extreme?"

The sea of fire formed by magma, boiling countless grievances. This scene was indeed very hellish.

The Demon King dodged the magma several times, his movements incomparably agile.

Although Wen Xishu couldn't see the third-person perspective, he could also feel the Demon King's speed through the speed of space transformation.

Soon, Red House level.

Wen Xishu felt that anyway he couldn't get out, so he might as well see how the Demon King breaks the situation.

The scene in front of him was a huge circular "magma pool."

At the top of the sky, there were some existences similar to magic arrays. After the Demon King observed for a while... he actually didn't hit it directly.

Next, the operation that made Wen Xishu dumbfounded came.

In the Demon King's vision, some text appeared.

【Do you want to enable space deconstruction?】

This was the same as the text that often appeared in Wen Xishu's eyes—do you want to use the Mad Dice.

This Demon King, still had this ability?

It must be said that in the competition manufactured by Taurus, the Demon King actually had a very high gold content.

This was not a competition constructed by the Obsession Land, this was purely a competition constructed by Taurus.

In other words—the bookmaker was very strong.

【Space deconstruction enabled—number of participants 1.】

【Distance from the participant—infinite. There is a difference in spatial dimensions.】

【Current area analysis: Lava Hell, a type of elemental hell. It is recommended to leave the hell area as soon as possible. You can try to leave this area with blood.】

Amazing.

Wen Xishu could only say, damn, are you cheating?

How can this still be played?

Being able to forcibly analyze space, and also being able to directly obtain the distance between himself and the participant?

You are already the Demon King, and you are still cheating? This is not equal to attribute crushing, but also crushing in technology.

Wen Xishu really wanted to say: turn it off, it's meaningless.

But he had to admit, it was all up to the Demon King now. The Demon King gave him quite a bit of information.

"The Demon King was assigned to hell, this is very reasonable. Now the Demon King's task is to escape hell."

"But what is my task?"

"The only text hint is that I and the Demon King are not in the same space, so the distance between me and the Demon King is infinitely far..."

"In other words, I really wasted a day... no matter how I walk, I can't meet the Demon King."

"The area I am in might really be an infinitely large area."

"But why?"

Wen Xishu began to sort out all the clues.

"I am a living person."

"There is only one way for a living person to enter the world of the dead, and that is to die."

"But because of the Mysterious Tower, I can enter the world of the dead as a living person."

"The Mysterious Tower is an Obsession Land, and the Obsession Land can construct countless rules..."

"But the rules of life and death are absolute. If the absolute of life and death is broken... then it's like Dragon Ball, it doesn't make anyone sad if they die."

Wen Xishu liked Dragon Ball very much, but when he watched Dragon Ball before, it was really only burning and hot-blooded, without half a touch.

After all, anyone who dies can be resurrected.

The cost of death is just wearing a halo, and other things don't seem to be much different from living people.

Dead people can also fight Majin Buu.

He remembered Albert's silent sadness again. Mr. Jin's death, the deaths of countless tower climbers in the Bunker...

These are all unchangeable. And precisely because death is an absolute parting, it makes everyone cherish living so much.

The obsession of the Obsession Land is just to send oneself to the place closest to the dead...

But it is still not the real world of the dead. Even if the obsession of the Obsession World is powerful, even the constellations have to follow...

But such an obsession, wanting to break through the barrier of life and death, is also very difficult. Those so-called resurrection from the dead are just making people live at the moment of death, rather than long after death.

"This is the boundary between life and death. There is endless space here, letting every living person get lost, and finally only after death... perhaps they can truly enter."

"In other words, I can't get in."

"But the Mysterious Tower should have a correction mechanism, right? If the level is blocked... the Mysterious Tower shouldn't not fix it, right?"

Thinking of the task description he had seen not long ago, clearly the Mysterious Tower seemed to be sure that it could get tower climbers into the world of the dead.

But how should it be done?

This absolutely dark, boundless chaotic world is a wall. As long as you cross this wall, you can enter the world of the dead.

Wen Xishu suddenly thought:

"No... if I can't enter the world of the dead, why can Taurus's Competition Horn?"

"The environment where the Demon King is, is Lava Hell, that place, no matter how you look at it... it is where the dead stay."

Wen Xishu began to think again:

"What is the difference between me and the Demon King?"
