Chapter 304: Chaos in Hell and the Strongest Genius
Passing through the hell portal felt like walking through a long corridor. This old-fashioned teleportation circle made Lando feel speechless.
Fortunately, the journey was not long, so Lando reached his destination quickly.
It's quite spectacular when you look at it. There is a huge square at the front, which is more than ten times the size of the hell portal in Blood Puppet City. Huge beasts hundreds of meters high stand on high platforms. At a glance, there are dozens of them.
So many seats.
People were constantly coming in and out of the portal, making it look very busy.
Not far away is a huge city, with a variety of ferocious and grotesque buildings located in it. Various defensive weapons on the city walls are flashing with cold light, and groups of soldiers are wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, with solemn expressions.
The auras of the strong men in the city rose, but there were three vaguely strongest ones that suppressed the auras of everyone else.
This is the largest city in the Blood Plains - Blood Armor City!
It is also the lair of the blood-armored demon Damia.
Condensing all his aura and presence, Lando had no intention of meeting a devil lord of this level, and he was not planning to cause any trouble in Blood Armor City, so he had no intention of entering the city at all and headed in the opposite direction.
And go.
…………
The moment Lando stepped into the ninth level of hell, Osguto, who had been sitting on the throne in deep contemplation, came back to his senses as if he sensed something.
He looked in a certain direction with a mocking smile on his face.
As he stood up, hundreds of men in black robes guarding the hall looked at him.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would reach this point. Let's go and let me see what that kid chooses!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black robes of hundreds of black-robed men turned into black mist and dissipated, revealing their true appearance, which was clearly a skeleton of white bones.
It's just that compared to other undead skeletons, these white bone skeletons have a special look. Their bones are as white as jade, obviously round and lustrous, but they give people a sharp and sharp feeling.
They did not stop after taking off their black mist robes, but took one step forward and disappeared into the pure white cracks.
At the same time, Osguto's figure slowly disappeared.
…………
Lando has been walking on this land called the Blood Plains for three days. Although he did not speed up on purpose, his speed was not slow in the first place. As a result, he did not even get out of the blood-armored demon in three days.
Damia's territory.
Each level of the original nine levels of hell was comparable to a higher world. Now it has become a large community of hell worlds, which continuously attracts and corrupts the world, thus absorbing its power. The current nine levels of hell have become even more vast than before.
The city built by the lord was fine, and the owners had corresponding order, but once they left the city limits and entered the wild, it was like entering a barbaric world, full of killings and battles, and full of bloody plunder.
Naturally, Lando didn't feel uncomfortable with this. After wiping out several groups of demons, he not only got the information he wanted, but also obtained higher-level soul crystals.
Just as Lando thought, compared to the inferior soul crystals that are completely useless, each of the higher-level pure soul crystals can provide him with dozens to hundreds of soul quality points, and the higher-level exquisite soul can provide him with dozens to hundreds of soul quality points.
The crystallization can bring him hundreds to thousands of points of soul essence.
It is said that there are higher-level soul crystals, but those are beyond the reach of bumpkins outside the city.
There are a total of five devil lords in the entire Blood Plains, among which the Blood-armored Demon Damia is not included, because although this big devil lord occupies one-third of the entire Blood Plains, his main territory is actually in the Blood Plains.
The nearby Blood Sea of the Abyss is an area several times larger than the entire Blood Plain.
Generally speaking, Blood Plains still revolves around the other four lords, and the Blood-armored Demon Damia will not join the "game" of these four.
Next, Lando was going to the territory of the devil lord named Alturas, because it was said that there had been some trouble there recently, and he wanted to see if there was any chance to fish in troubled waters.
Following the map, we advanced for five or six days and finally entered the territory of Alturas.
Even if he didn't search for it specifically along the way, he still gained 70,000 to 80,000 soul essences, not to mention many other hell-specific materials.
Lando felt that if he could save one million soul essences before leaving hell, he would be able to condense at least one of the three orange talents that had been gathering dust in the system warehouse for a long time.
Although Lando has now found his own direction, the three talents he recorded are also closely related to his current spiritual path. After being condensed, they will not only improve his strength, but also be of great benefit to his own growth.
.
Just when Lando was walking and thinking about good things, suddenly, an invisible wave swept across, and Lando's hair stood up. Although he didn't know who the person who sent this wave was, although he didn't understand the other party's purpose.
, but one thing Lando knows very well, he has been discovered!
Stop quietly and wait for someone to come.
As expected, Lando didn't have to wait long before a figure appeared in front of him.
"It's you?!"
Lando was a little surprised when he saw the person coming, but he was more relieved. The person coming was beyond his expectation and seemed to be within expectation.
Osguto smiled slightly and said, "You don't seem too surprised by my arrival?"
Lando nodded calmly and said, "I have a hunch."
"Premonition?" Osguto looked at Lando with some surprise and said, "Can psychic abilities be able to do such a thing? It's really novel."
Premonition is roughly equivalent to the "whim and predictability" in martial arts. Like weakening the sense of spiritual existence, it is a new ability recently developed by Lando. However, this premonition is too weak and often has no direction, so it is
So far it doesn't have much effect on him.
"Why did you appear here?" Lando asked casually, while thinking about the purpose of Osguto's appearance. He was not prepared to get the answer, but the other party unexpectedly explained.
"Remember what happened in the world of Astraia, right?" Osguto asked.
Lando nodded.
"After that, I have been struggling with what exactly you got from Disriel, so I used all my connections and means to find all the information about Disriel. For this reason, I even rejected God
Only the identity of the person in charge of the research institute.”
Lando thought in his heart, if you knew what happened later, you would probably be very satisfied with the identity of the person in charge.
"But the result was not satisfactory. Just when I was disappointed and ready to give up, I 'accidentally' discovered an ancient book recording history. Haha, it was really 'accidentally'!"
When Osguto said the three words "unintentionally" again, his tone was very serious, and his face showed a look of self-deprecation.
Lando's eyes narrowed slightly, Osguto looked like he had been specially guided by someone.
"After that, I followed the clues recorded in the book and found traces of the world where Disriel was born. Then I followed the traces and found the hell that was 'known' to have been hiding from the empire!"
Claimed? Could it be that the empire already knew where hell was?!
"At that time, I was completely carried away by the excitement. Without thinking too deeply, I continued to follow the clues to the ninth level of hell, and became the deputy of the devil lord Alturas."
"It's worth mentioning that the reason why I became this disgusting guy's deputy is because I'm not sure I can kill him without making any noise without any arrangements, and also because I want to hide my identity.
It’s convenient for gathering information.”
"Oh, I thought I had everything under control, but in the end I found out that I had been led by the nose all the time." Osguto laughed at himself and said, "Until I met that boy Claire and learned from him that you are here.
It was only after the incident that I came to my senses. Combining what I knew before and the information I obtained through special channels, I finally understood all the causes and consequences."
"It turns out that everything I do is controlled by them, and the ultimate purpose is to test you, the ninth transgressor - Lando!"
They? Who are they? The top brass of the empire?
Lando asked: "Who are they you are talking about? The top officials of the empire? Are they Mike and Lord Lex? And if you don't want to be manipulated, you can just leave? Why do you have to stay to test me?"
Osguto smiled and said: "The reason why Mike and Lex have noble status is just because they represent the arcane emperor. To say that they can control the fate of a great arcanist is a bit too flattering. They
He is just the youngest student of the Seventh Emperor Odo, and cannot even call him his mentor."
"The 'them' I'm talking about here are the handful of people who have truly reached the pinnacle of the realm of Grand Arcanists, and whose actual combat power in the Arcane Universe can even rival that of the Arcane Emperor!"
The pinnacle of the field of Grand Arcanist? In the Arcane Universe, his actual combat power is even comparable to that of the Arcane Emperor?!
Landand was shocked by the way Osguto expressed it. These may involve secrets above the Grand Arcanist.
Just when Lando wanted to ask for more information, Osguto spoke first and said: "When you are promoted to Grand Arcanist one day, you will naturally know this information. Knowing too much now is harmful and useless."
Hearing this, Lando had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.
Osguto continued: "As for what you said about getting rid of control, I am naturally willing. As long as you give me what you got from Disriel that day, not only will I leave immediately, but I will also publicize that I was defeated by you. What do you think?
?”
How? What a ghost!
When it comes to being manipulated by others, in the final analysis, it is not because of your greed. At most, others are just adding fuel to the flames.
Lando responded calmly: "I refuse!"
At this time, Lando no longer denied that he had gained something from Disriel. Osguto had already reached this point, and it would be a bit too disrespectful to deny it now.
The smile on Osguto's face faded and he said lightly: "Do you understand what it means to reject me now? You might die!"
"Death?!" Lando showed a weird smile. For an arcanist, the most difficult thing is not their endless methods, but their ability to save lives!
Lando seems to have not done corresponding research, but it does not mean that he does not have corresponding means. The simplest one is that he places it in the heart world, which has been gestating for a long time, and will be gestating for a longer period of time.
Once Lando dies in the outside world, he can be resurrected instantly on this spiritual fruit filled with his mark.
Of course, the price is to destroy the spiritual fruit that has gradually improved, and all the efforts on his body will be wiped out.
This is still the worst case scenario. Lando admits that the Grand Arcanist is indeed powerful, but he does not think that he even has the ability to escape when faced with it.
The most important point is that when Osguto talked about the test, Lando felt a little flutter in his heart. He vaguely felt that this was very important to him. If he chose to refuse or pass the test by cheating, he would definitely lose a lot of importance.
s things.
So Lando knew at that time that the battle was inevitable, and what was said later was just to get more information.
Seeing Lando's expression, Osguto already understood the former's choice, and said with a headache: "That's why I hate you brats who claim to be geniuses. You are so bold."
Lando was noncommittal and asked: "Since it is a test, there will be a reward after passing it, right? Can you tell me something convenient?"
Osguto did not refuse and said directly: "The basic reward is the qualification to enter the Hell War. In fact, there was no one for you originally. There were only eight ultra-limited geniuses from the eight schools. The ninth level was not originally prepared for you.
, your sudden appearance disrupted many people's plans, and some old guys even regarded you as the strongest genius surpassing the other eight people, so they invested a lot of chips in you."
"The other seven people have completed the test, obtained admission qualifications and gained a certain level of support. Now the only ones left are you, the intruder, and Sadie, the youngest girl. She should also be preparing to accept the test on a certain floor.
.”
Osguto revealed a lot, and Lando didn't know how to react for a moment.
After a moment, he asked again: "What does the qualification for this so-called hell war mean, and when does it start?"
Although Lando vaguely guessed something, he still wanted to ask for more specific information.
Osguto smiled and said: "The Hell War, as the name suggests, is naturally a fight for the highest control of hell. Then it will really be a chaotic war. The masters of hell who are not willing to fail, the old guys who entered in advance, you guys
The strongest geniuses of the new generation, as well as those geniuses who are second only to you, the counterattack of hell itself, and maybe even visitors from different universes."
"Those old guys want to cultivate the most powerful people who can fight through all the bloodshed, not the fools who have piled up strength! When the time comes, they will only create countless obstacles and not give any help."
"As for the starting time, it could be as short as a few decades or as long as one or two hundred years. The fun will not begin until you all become great arcanists!"
