Chapter 79 Hellfire
Legend has it that at the end of the Gate of Death is a broken window embedded in the wall. When you get close, it reflects the extreme evil, sin, and horror of the world. The lucky ones leave, while the unlucky ones are left without a trace.
But Yan Huai didn't find the window, nor did he encounter any danger, which surprised both him and the system.
It's been three hours; the onion juice outside would have dried up long ago...
The mournful howls of the dying dragon that had been following him closely intensified the fear deep within Yan Huai's soul, making him even more anxious. He remained vigilant and quickened his pace in searching for the exit from the Gate of Death.
After crossing the old, rusty iron chains once again, the view in front of him finally opened up a bit, and the desperate wails seemed to have weakened considerably. Yan Huai had a premonition that he had reached a certain critical point.
After all, the scene before us is... quite different from what it was before.
The blood-red vertical pupils reflected a distorted space within the iron chains ahead. The distorted air seemed to be soaked in countless skeletons, which were desperately struggling to escape, blackened and stinking...
Yan Huai forcibly suppressed the inexplicable palpitations in his heart, turned around and searched downwards. Soon after, among a pile of bones, he found a huge buried temple bell. It had lost its former holiness and luster and looked like a discarded object.
That bell must be the key to unlocking the secrets of this place...
The system was terrified when it saw Yan Huai recklessly floating inside: "Host, that's hellfire inside! It's used to refine souls and bones. You can't withstand it right now, so you can't just go in!"
Yan Huai was taken aback upon hearing this. Not going in? How were they supposed to solve the mystery of this strange place then?
"Host, the Undying Flame regards you as its master; perhaps it can help you," the system indirectly reminded you.
Yan Huai stopped pondering and considered him as the master... which meant that the Undying Flame wouldn't harm him?
Therefore, if the Undying Flame is attached to the surface of one's body, the hellfire inside will form a confrontation with the Undying Flame, and naturally it will not cause harm to one's body.
Thinking of this, Yan Huai's eyes flashed with a sense of enlightenment. He took a deep breath and released all of his Undying Flame.
A series of cracking and breaking sounds suddenly rang out from inside the Gate of Death. What was terrifying was that these sounds actually caused tremors both inside and outside the space...
So, the few Yan family members who knew nothing about the situation inside the Death Gate looked at the rubble on the ground that seemed to be jumping around like the New Year, exchanged stiff glances, and then slowly lowered their hands that were reinforcing the formation.
"Clan leader... will he be alright?" Yan Yang was a little guilty. What if he had killed the clan leader?
"I don't think...it's possible?" Yan Li wasn't sure either, her gaze drifting towards Yan Lang. "Shall we continue?"
"...Let's wait and see, hmm!"
The others silently turned their heads away and slowly moved further away. They figured the consequences were none of their concern, right? They were just following orders. Yes, that's right!
As for Yanxing, who is still unconscious: "..." Add me to that! It has nothing to do with me!
Unlike those who remained detached here, inside the Gate of Death, the crisscrossing iron chains, affected by the undying flame, had cracked and turned to dust.
Only the air in front of Yan Huai remained stubbornly distorted.
Yan Huai had already squeezed into the hellfire, his inextinguishable flames roaring and tearing at the hellfire, seemingly reaching a certain balance for a short time.
However, Yan Huai, who was in a state of equilibrium, was not having an easy time.
An invisible flame, carrying a tearing, scorching sensation, rushed towards them. Yan Huaiqing's black scales instantly turned a scorching crimson, and the large patch of skin and flesh on his waist, missing scales, eerily emitted black smoke.
As he struggled to avoid the pull of the bones in the hellfire, he gritted his teeth and approached the sacred bell deep within the bones.
Finally, we're closer... Yan Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
In Buddhism, the bell-ringing ceremony is usually seen by few but heard by many. The Buddhist bell in Yan Huai's blurred vision has simple engravings and ancient traces, which seems to be different from the usual bell-ringing. But since it was left in the hellfire, it must be related to the bones inside that are struggling to get out.
This is the Gate of Death, not for blessings, redemption, or salvation.
That's imprisonment...
