It’s as if I feel like I’m being targeted by the whole world.

Below is a bottomless abyss.

Above is the sword energy that is completely integrated.

The long night seemed to be completely dissolved. Within tens of thousands of meters of sight, darkness and colorful luster were entangled. After the initial collision of dead silence, there were continuous roars. The night sky was magnificent under the light of the sword energy.

Fantasy, every strand of sword energy is tit for tat, colliding with each other, like continuous thunder.

The light in the sky shines in the collapsed pit, but it cannot reach the bottom. The body is still falling rapidly. The dreamy sky above is full of fatal dangers, and there is a dead darkness below, as if it is an abyss swallowing the soul.

Li Tianlan looked at the white silk thread in front of him.

The silk thread was different from the beginning. It was now stretched to the extreme and extremely fragile, as if it would break at any time, but it seemed to become stronger. It connected himself and Lin Shiyi.

The life force is completely shared, which means that he cannot see the outcome of this battle.

Li Tianlan suddenly felt that this feeling was extremely familiar.

He thought of his seventeenth year old.

At the age of seventeen, he was not yet a future genius, and his status as the heir to the Li family brought not glory, but endless torture and hardship.

That year he secretly left the Li family's camp on the border for the first time and went to the desert prison accompanied by the Dongcheng family's thunder god.

That year, seventeen-year-old Li Tianlan was at the peak of the Burning Fire Realm, where he could break through at any time.

In the dark world, those who break through the Burning Fire Realm before the age of twenty-five can be called a genius. Seventeen-year-old Li Tianlan can definitely be called a monster.

Li Tianlan himself thinks so too.

At that time, he didn't know the standards of the outside world, but he knew enough about the Li family, his heritage, the glory of the Li family, and the status of the Li family.

When he stood at the peak of the Burning Fire Realm at the age of seventeen and defeated Li's veterans in the Thunder Realm one after another in the Li's camp, he had already realized that even in the outside world, he could be called a

Master.

The day before going to the desert prison, Li Honghe chatted with him for a long time. Li Tianlan couldn't remember exactly what they talked about now. He only remembered that Li Honghe patted him on the shoulder and told him that if he came back alive from there, he would have

You are qualified to choose your own path in the future.

Then he met Huo Man, who was known as the strongest fire master in the desert prison.

One of Li Honghe's former guards.

The two of them had a hearty fight in the desert, letting go of everything and fighting from noon to late at night.

Li Tianlan lost.

Even if he broke through to the thunder realm uncontrollably during the battle, he didn't win.

The result was like a slap in the face, leaving him bruised and swollen.

He felt that he was a genius and a genius, but all his pride seemed like a joke at the end of that battle.

And Tianjiao should not be a joke in front of anyone.

So on the night after that battle, Li Tianlan abandoned his martial arts without any hesitation and chose to start over.

Walk the road you have taken again, look at the scenery you have not seen before, and improve all the flaws you have not noticed.

Break and build again, start all over again.

Thor, who had no time to stop all this, almost collapsed. It was only then that Li Tianlan realized that the main purpose of letting him come to the desert prison was not to let Huo Nan verify his martial arts.

By arranging for him to come to the desert prison, Li Honghe wanted him to accept a life and death test that could be called hell.

Walk through the door of life.

The walking door is a rule of the desert prison, and it is definitely famous in the prison. It is the most famous challenge in the desert prison, the most tempting challenge, but also the most deserted challenge.

In the hundreds of years it has been deserted, there are probably less than thirty prisoners who have participated in this challenge.

Since its establishment, the Desert Prison has had such a rule when it faced the first batch of prisoners: any prisoner who can walk out of the door will be freed directly.

any prisoner.

In other words, whether it is a vicious terrorist, a world-famous top killer, the ace Sword Butterfly who tolerates loyalty, or a traitor who has caused huge losses to Central Continent...

No matter what your identity is, no matter how many mistakes you make, no matter whether your positions are consistent or not, no matter how big the threat is...

As long as you walk out of birth, you can be free.

Once you enter the desert prison, you will basically have no freedom. There is no sentence here. As long as you enter, except for the exit door, if there is no accident, there is basically no possibility of getting out.

The so-called walking door refers to a hole that is only about 60 to 70 centimeters deep in the desert prison.

The entrance of the cave is called the Door of Death. Climb in through the Door of Death and go down dozens of meters, and you will see the first turning point at the entrance of the cave.

The size and area of ​​the hole is almost constant, with a height of only a few dozen centimeters and a width that can barely accommodate a person to pass through normally.

After climbing into the cave entrance for the first time, the path to the cave entrance will change from downward to forward.

The underground passage is consistent with the internal structure of the desert prison. It is an extremely huge maze with thousands of forked roads and extremely complicated.

It was a place of absolute silence and darkness.

There is no time limit, food and drinking water are not allowed, and no light or sound sources are allowed. The challenger enters the door of death, passes through the maze, and finds the door of life.

Those who succeed will be free.

This is the exit door in the desert prison.

According to the records of the Desert Prison, in the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Desert Prison, a total of twenty-seven warriors have challenged the walking door.

The one with the highest strength is a dark world giant who is close to the peak of invincibility. He is the strongest person imprisoned in the desert prison, while the one with the lowest strength is at the peak of the Burning Fire Realm.

Twenty-seven people challenged it, but no one succeeded.

The one who persisted the longest was a half-step invincible sword butterfly from the Star Kingdom. He persisted for twenty-one hours after entering the death door, and finally his vital signs completely disappeared.

That was also the last challenger before Li Tianlan. To be specific, it was sixteen years ago.

Li Tianlan is the twenty-eighth.

Li Tianlan, who had completely lost his martial arts and had passed through a period of physical weakness, chose to walk through the door of life without any hesitation.

Didn't regain strength.

In this level of challenge, martial arts strength is related to physical strength.

But in the final analysis, walking through the gate of life is purely a challenge of will.

Physical strength will affect the challenge process, but it is definitely not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the will, the kind of will that is absolutely firm and will never waver no matter what desperate situation we face.

This kind of will is cultivated in the process of walking through the gate of life. If you can't survive it, you will die inside. If you survive it, you will achieve complete nirvana.

There's no way to describe what that feels like.

In the desert underground tens of meters deep, it is hot, humid, narrow, oppressive, and the oxygen is thin.

There is no food, no water, no light source and no sound source. There is only one position that can always be maintained in a narrow space, and that is crawling.

If you lift your back slightly, you will touch the top of the passage, and if you stretch your arms slightly, you will touch both sides of the passage. The sound of breathing and crawling will become extremely harsh in the silent passage. When you stop to rest, you will be surrounded by only

You can hear the violent heartbeat and the sound of blood flowing in your body. The huge terror can only stimulate people to continue crawling forward.

Intense hunger and thirst.

Depressing and crushing heat.

It's so narrow that I can't even turn around...

Eternal silence and darkness.

Countless forks in the road.

Climb over, back out, and move bit by bit.

In that extremely long darkness and silence every minute, Li Tianlan crawled for more than seventy hours.

I have collapsed, gone crazy, cried bitterly, had hallucinations, tortured myself all over in order to maintain consciousness, tried my best to open the walls on both sides again and again, suppressed wailing, went crazy, suffered huge dizziness, everything

The sanity, including the soul, is being torn apart bit by bit by the darkness. After being put back together reluctantly, it becomes numb, becomes fearful, and becomes crazy again after a complete collapse.

Li Tianlan exposed all his fragility and helplessness there. His consciousness and heart completely collapsed countless times. He also thought about giving up, but every time he gritted his teeth and crawled forward little by little.

He couldn't remember how many times he had given up.

But when he gradually got used to the madness again and again, and finally became completely numb, when he felt that he could not crawl out no matter what, when he felt that he would die, and at the most desperate moment, he only had three choices for the last time.

Character.

Climb forward!

More than seventy hours.

He climbed out of the Gate of Life when he was closest to death, and was immediately taken back to the desert prison by the God of Thunder who was guarding the exit of the Gate of Life.

Like a walking zombie, like a mentally retarded idiot, when his consciousness was at its most trance, Li Tianlan remembered something the God of Thunder asked him.

"If you were given a choice, would you choose to be the Li family of Zhongzhou or the Wang family of Beihai?"
