Cataclysm King Chapter 497

Chapter 497 I plan to enter the seventh level

 “Yggdrasil?”

 When Ji Xun heard this term from Old Man Xu, he searched through various classics in his mind, and then found a few words in some myths and legends.

According to the myth, there is a huge tree in the universe, and the planes are like leaves on that tree.

The hugeness is so huge that even imagination cannot contain it.

Ji Xun can't even understand the concept of "plane" at present, let alone the existence of "World Tree".

However, before his mind could ponder what kind of strong material was needed to support such a huge tree trunk, Old Man Xu spoke again.

But he seemed to have seen something, and corrected: "The 'World Tree' I mentioned is not the one you saw in the classics."

Ji Xun asked: "Ah, what is that?"

This is another unsolved mystery in the world. It's hard to find someone who can solve it, so of course I can't let it go.

 “This and this”

When Old Man Xu heard this, his expression froze, apparently he had forgotten it again.

He hesitated for a long time without explaining the reason, so he skipped the topic: "Oh, that's not the point. The point is, this tree I'm talking about can eat people!"

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone who just looked like curious babies waiting to hear popular science all changed: "Cannibalism?"

"yes!"

Old man Xu said: "This tree root is rooted in the underworld. Legend has it that it feeds on the bones and souls of living creatures in the soil of the heavens. When living people touch the roots, their vitality will be sucked dry, and their souls will be exiled to the underworld."

 Everyone looked at each other in shock as they listened to this increasingly outrageous statement.

They didn't know Old Man Xu, and they just felt like they were listening to a bard telling outrageous stories in a tavern.

However, Ji Xun and Qin Rushu looked at the mountain-like tree roots at their feet, and their expressions became solemn.

 What should I do if it is really so dangerous?

Before they could ask, Old Man Xu said again: "But why do I feel that this tree root looks familiar? I seem to have seen it before."

Others are a little confused when they hear this.

Not only have they seen the roots of the world tree, but very few people have heard of it.

 Have you seen it before?

 It sounds a bit like nonsense no matter what.

However, Ji Xun knew that Old Man Xu might have actually seen it.

He thought of what happened around here hundreds of thousands of years ago, and tried to guide him: "There was once a strong man who was ambushed by dragons here and had a great battle... Have you seen him at that time?"

 “Ah yes! It seems so!”

 Old man Xu's memory is a triggered memory. Being reminded by this, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "I remembered, a golden dragon was exiled to the underworld!"

He pointed at the tree roots, as if he understood something, and exclaimed: "Ah, I understand, these roots are used to guide the direction. Maybe there is something that wants to use this to come back from the underworld!"

As soon as these words came out, Ji Xun and Qin Ru looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

 Just one sentence, but a huge amount of information.

 The dragon **** Marodis is really not dead, but was exiled to the underworld!

 Now, He is coming back!

 Finally, Ji Xun understood what those people from the Holy See of Light were up to.

 Use these world tree roots to guide the return of the Dragon God?

Not far away, the eyelids of Bonnie and others jumped sharply. They had just heard the story about Emperor Lanlingst being ambushed by the dragon clan.

Now when I heard this, my head was buzzing, as if I thought I heard it wrong.

 The old man just said that he had seen it before?

 But, that was hundreds of thousands of years ago.

After Ji Xun thought about it carefully, another thing came to his mind that puzzled him.

That is,

 Old man Xu most likely witnessed the battle that year.

 However, Emperor Lanlingst died in that battle, so in what capacity did this old man witness?

 It's a pity that old man Xu Xu's memory is never reliable when it is reliable.

 After saying these words, there is no more information.

Ji Xun has long been accustomed to it.

 After asking a few questions but getting no results, I stopped asking any more questions.

No one dared to stay longer. Hearing Old Man Xu's warning, they ran wildly in the direction where the roots came from.

 The surrounding space no longer repeated, and they were sure that they had finally left the previous mirror space.

However, it left the mirror space.

But it's not the cave near the previous camp.

After running wildly for two hours, the humidity in the air became more and more obvious, and it was also mixed with a strong elemental and slightly decadent smell.

Ji Xun smelled it. It was the unique scent of **** plants.

 Suddenly, the vision suddenly opened up.

Like a hanging cliff.

However, at the moment when Ji Xun discovered that the gravity around him was abnormal, without any warning, the gravity hung upside down.

The feet turned into tops, and the running people were unprepared, and their figures instantly turned upside down.

Fortunately, they were all high-level card masters, and they reacted quickly and clung to the rock wall, thus preventing them from falling into the deep void.

 Looking down, I saw a huge pit with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters under my feet.

 Some huge trees grew out of the cracks in the rock. Their roots gripped the rock wall tightly like dragon claws, and long luminous threads hung between their branches and leaves, as if they were natural magic lamps.

It is beautiful and has a sense of magic.

These trees are also intertwined with intricate vines, which are intertwined with each other, and occasionally flying monsters can be seen passing through them.

 The most amazing thing is that the water gushes out from the rock wall, forming flowing light river waterfalls.

These water bodies contain rich elemental energy, so rich that it forms "elemental rainbows" visible to the naked eye.

This made everyone in Ji Xun feel an indescribable vitality in their breathing.

 Everyone came from the Eastern Wasteland, so they were not surprised by the phenomenon of gravity reversal in the abyss.

 But this endless pit is different.

There are almost no living creatures to be seen in the abyss crevices of the Eastern Wasteland.

 In this deep pit, there are dense layers of luminous forests, just like a huge ecological circle.

Looking down, layers of luminous plants are spread all over the rock wall, spreading to the very depths, exuding a mysterious atmosphere that is completely different from the cave world.

At this moment, Ji Xun and the others were at the entrance of a cave in the rock wall.

The entrance of the cave, which is obviously more than ten meters in diameter, is as small as an ant nest in this huge cave.

 Feeling the strong power of dark elements in this endless cave, Bonnie and the others were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

“The exaggerated concentration of elements is probably several times richer than in the previous camp! Oh my god, if you really want to practice here, how exaggerated will your speed be?”

“Is this the 'Dead Zone'?”

“The gravity hanging upside down, as well as such a strong elemental and dark energy, should be no problem. Isn't the Firefly Camp still many days away from the Dead Zone? How come we are here so quickly?”

“The previous space was reversed by the people of the Holy See, so the perceived distance may not be real. And we followed the tree roots all the way, which is considered a shortcut. It's not surprising.”

　　About the news about the Dead Realm, the Holy See has strictly blocked it.

 But everyone in Ji Xun had learned detailed information from the deputy leader of the "Mithril Snake Mercenary Group" before.

So when they saw this scene, they immediately realized that this was the treasure land that was being secretly explored by the top leaders of the three kingdoms - the Dead Realm.

 Amidst the excitement, it's hard to hide the deep anticipation.

 After all, this is the secret realm that Emperor Lanlingst once risked his life to explore.

Hide here may be the ultimate secret of the world.

Everyone looked down at the endless underground and saw the endless depth and the mystery that was coming towards them.

This endless abyss is not only a stunning natural wonder, it is more like a passage to the unknown world.

 But after getting excited, Bonnie and the others looked at the abyss, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in their hearts.

It was as if while they were peering into the endless abyss, there seemed to be something under the abyss, looking back at them.

 Everyone could not help but instinctively shrink back and narrow their gazes.

Ji Xun also feels the same way.

The feeling of fear that seems to have glimpsed some kind of higher-dimensional world is an emotion that comes from the depths of the soul and cannot be suppressed. Ji Xun converged his gaze, glanced at the roots of the world tree spreading like a creeper on the rock wall, and muttered: "Is there a connected underworld under this abyss?"

 After all, Old Man Xu just talked about the origin of the roots of the World Tree.

Just as I was thinking about it, an unexpected thing happened.

Ji Xun couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of turbid blood as his throat felt fishy.

 Although he suppressed it forcefully, blood still overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Sam next to him noticed it first and exclaimed: "Brother Ji Xun, are you okay?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over and looked worried.

They knew very well that without Ji Xun's all-powerful means before, they might not have had the chance to stand here alive and speak.

It can be said that Ji Xun's injuries have a lot to do with them.

Boni is the team doctor. She saw through the bad condition of Ji Xun's body at a glance, and said with a solemn face: "Ji Xun, your injury is very serious!"

After he calmed down, Ji Xun waved his hand and smiled to indicate that he was fine.

 This is a backlog of injuries from previous battles. In order not to put too much burden on the body, it was not healed.

Now that there was no strong enemy and the situation was no longer urgent, I felt relieved and vomited a mouthful of blood without thinking about the rising blood.

Boni looked at Ji Xun's unconcerned look and said, "You are too messy. Even if you know the "Immortal Curse", you can't use it like that. At that level before, your lifespan is probably "

 It sounds like a complaint, but it is more of a concern between friends.

  Qin Ru looked at Xiu Mei and frowned slightly.

 But he understood this guy's character, so he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it in his mouth.

  “It doesn't matter.”

Ji Xun certainly knew that frequent use of the Immortality Curse would shorten his life. He had almost died once before.

 But not to mention a little lifespan in exchange for a hearty battle is worth it, not to mention this time is different.

He looked at everyone's worries and said one more thing: "Now that I have understood the realm, I can almost advance to the seventh level steadily. By then, my lifespan will skyrocket, so it won't be a big problem."

When several cadres of the revolutionary army heard "Seventh Level", their expressions lit up inexplicably.

 They are all at the sixth level, and they are very aware of the difficulty of the seventh level, the demigod threshold.

Hearing Ji Xun say that he could advance steadily, he immediately put away his worries.

It is indeed as he said, the seventh level is the legendary "demigod", and his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary humans.

However, Bonnie still muttered: "But...although demigods have a long lifespan, they can't be used like this."

"Um."

Ji Xun smiled and didn't say much on this topic.

He looked at the location and said: "This should be near the 'third level of the secret realm' that the bearded man said. Come on, let's change places and go down and have a look."

 Everyone also knew that this was not a place for small talk, so they followed Ji Xun down the rock wall.

 Looking at the rock wall is extremely thrilling, but for humans, those rock crevices are extremely spacious platforms.

 Everyone went down like this.

Now that there are no enemies, the atmosphere is not tense at all.

As everyone walked along, they also reviewed the previous battles.

"Ouch, the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son before was really exaggerated. He is obviously at the seventh level, but his methods are really invincible. The forbidden spell comes easily. He really has no shortcomings at all. I have never seen such an outrageous seventh level. Against ordinary seventh-level players, I'm confident that I can defeat him for many rounds, but I'm really not sure at all."

“It's a shame to brother Ji Xun, otherwise only the leader would be able to stop him.”

“Yes. Especially his curse card, which can change the rules of the universe at will? If I hadn't encountered it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to think about it. Are all the legendary curse cards so outrageous?”

“No. That curse card is just special.”

“Brother Ji Xun, do you know the origin of that card?”

“Hmm. That is the most mysterious of the fifty-four curse cards of Emperor Lanlingster [Colorful JOKER].”

“Ah? Isn't it said that there are fifty-two cards?”

 Everyone was filled with lingering fear when they recalled the previous battle.

 No matter how they review the situation, no one can think of any chance of defeating the enemy.

 In their opinion, surviving is really luck.

 But for Ji Xun, thrills are thrills. From the perspective of review, the risks are actually not bad, and they are almost exactly as deduced.

And the beating was not in vain.

Having encountered it this time, it won't be that troublesome next time.

 While talking about the enemy's methods, the Revolutionary Army members were also extremely amazed by Ji Xun's combat prowess.

 Sam's character is straightforward and he speaks directly when he has something to say.

He sighed with emotion: "My dear, I just realized that Brother Ji Xun, your fighting power is so terrifying. If you hadn't met the Holy Son, the average seventh-level man would have been killed long ago."

Hearing this, Luo Sen echoed: "Yes. If we really want to fight those ascetic monks before, Brother Ji Xun will definitely have a good chance of winning. It's a pity that such a monster Holy Son has appeared."

 Because Ji Xun's amazing performance in that battle also greatly buffered the irresistible sense of oppression brought by the enemy.

 Everyone was inexplicably excited when they talked about his methods.

Bonnie on the side also said: "Ah Ji Xun, I thought the strength you showed in the Blackwater Swamp was strong enough. I didn't expect you to be so strong."

As she spoke, she intuitively sensed something. She looked at Ji Xun and said, "Why do I feel like you are still hiding something?"

Ji Xun shrugged and said with a smile, "That's almost it."

 Bonnie blinked and asked expectantly: "So that's not all your strength?"

Ji Xun shrugged noncommittally.

　　I do have some hidden methods.

For example, the curse card [Gray JOKER].

 Before, I felt that there was no chance of winning, so I had no intention of exposing myself.

Qin Ru was listening on the sidelines. Although he didn't speak, he had a smile on his lips.

 She was also very surprised by Ji Xun's rapid improvement in strength.

Chen Jianwuliu had already comprehended the realm himself, and he was also curious: "By the way, Ji Xun, what's going on with the realm you comprehended? Why do I feel like your realm can break down everything. Elements, spells, and barriers?" What is considered a decomposition field?”

 Everyone has seen it, and there is nothing bad to say.

Ji Xun said bluntly: "Well, this is the field I named the 'True Understanding of All Things'. You can understand it as the ability of the 'Element Decomposer'. But there are some differences. There are also some abilities to learn and imitate."

It's okay if you don't say this, but when you say it, everyone's expressions are just confused: Is it more outrageous than what you see?

 Bonnie thought she had misunderstood something, and asked, "In other words, as long as you know how to do it, you can decompose it?"

Ji Xundian said: "Absolutely."

Everyone's eyes twitched inexplicably when they heard this.

 Hearing the function of this field, they only thought of one sentence: I am not restrained, I restrain everything.

 Don't listen to Ji Xun's understatement, but that's what it means.

Bonnie also suddenly said: "No wonder you want to take the path of [polymath]. In other words, any method you can understand is useless in your field?"

 “Theoretically so.”

The [True Explanation of All Things] envisaged by Ji Xun is indeed like this, but he also said modestly: "But the reality is still far from it."

 The current field is just a prototype, it is considered a late-stage skill.

 The higher the cognition, the more unsolvable the field is.

Sam thought of something again and asked: "By the way, brother Ji Xun, your field is to decompose everything, and the [Netherworld Peacock] is also the divine light of annihilation that breaks all laws. Can you decompose that divine light of annihilation?"

 At this point, everyone also cast curious eyes.

Ji Xun certainly thought about it, and he said directly: "No."

Before the disappointment could show in the eyes of others, he added: "But after I advance, the threat of the divine light of annihilation to me will not be that great."

Hearing this, Qin Rushi turned her head and glanced at him, casting a look: "Huh?"

Ji Xun nodded: "Yes. I plan to enter the seventh level."

 Preparations for the advancement have been made long ago, and now that the domain understanding is completed, the time is just right.

Although there are still some details that can be improved, in the current situation, advancement is the best choice.

 Just like when the sixth level faced the Holy Son, he would definitely die even if he tried his best;

 But after the seventh level, he could see a slight chance of winning again.
