Chapter 1513: Chapter 661: Xiuning Captured! The Ghost King’s Entrance Found!
Then, the Witch Warrior leader Lan Qi ordered another attack, aiming to completely shatter Ji Xiuning’s energy bloodline!
Crush her completely, then capture her.
However… just at that moment!
A layer of transparent crystal stone suddenly grew over Ji Xiuning’s body, gradually enveloping her entire figure.
It seemed like freezing, yet also like petrification.
Her entire graceful body was completely wrapped in a special energy crystal.
And this kind of energy crystal, for some unknown reason, was completely impenetrable and indestructible.
The energies of the Witch Warriors could no longer pierce through!
“Take her back!” the Witch Warrior leader Lan Qi ordered.
In the past five days, Lanling had been wandering around the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, yet found nothing, not a trace of the Ghost King.
Or rather, he found no trace of anything, not just the Ghost King.
The entire ruins were utterly dead silent, with no energy fluctuations whatsoever. Lanling and Gou Li searched aimlessly, completely to no avail.
Even though Ji Xiuning was leading the Skyguard Knights outside, Lanling still took the risk to use the Eye of the Ghost King’s vision, hoping the Ghost King would respond in some way.
However, he still found nothing.
So Lanling even began to suspect that the Ghost King wasn’t here at all.
Next, Lanling stopped the pointless exploration and began to think with his eyes closed.
If the Ghost King is here, then where would it be?
Might it think that even hiding in the independent dimension of the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital isn’t safe enough, and it could still be found by the Dragon Temple?
If that’s the case, where would it hide?
Lanling had already explored almost the entire Ruins of Doom Magic Capital without finding any energy fluctuations.
If it were outside, Lanling obviously couldn’t have explored so extensively. But inside these ruins, there was really nothing, no energy fluctuations, as if a vacuum of energy. So at any slightest energy fluctuation, Lanling would sense it immediately.
“Gou Li, if you were the Ghost King, where would you hide after entering the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital?” Lanling asked.
Gou Li was silent for a long while, saying nothing, but finally asked, “Master, do you think there is a hell in this world?”
Lanling was silent for a long while.
Yes, does hell really exist in this world?
There should be, otherwise how could there be Hell Knights? However, Lanling had never encountered a real Hell Knight; Ashi Luo doesn’t count.
But Gou Li’s words indeed reminded Lanling.
The Ghost King is definitely not a living being; could it be something that accidentally came from the Netherworld?
If that’s the case, would the safest place for it not be the Netherworld? Thus, when encountering danger, would it return to hell?
But if it wanted to go to the Netherworld, why come to the Sea of Misfortune?
At the very least, it came to the Sea of Misfortune; the last visual image from its eye was the Sea of Misfortune.
Could it be that coming to the Sea of Misfortune was just a decoy? Abandoning its eye here, leading the pursuing forces of the Dragon Temple to think it vanished in the Sea of Misfortune, while it actually headed to the Netherworld?
If so, then Lanling would indeed have been thoroughly outsmarted.
Another thought surged forth.
If the physical world is yang, and the Netherworld is yin.
Might these Ruins of Doom Magic Capital lie between yin and yang?
Because this place is completely silent, devoid of any energy, it is in absolute balance, an independent space.
Moreover, its entrance is in the real yang world, and when Lanling and Gou Li are in a soul state, the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital immediately become visible, coexisting with the real world.
So, could this dimension directly connect the two realms of yin and yang?
“Master, when energy exceeds a limit, it will tear open the boundary of dimensions,” Gou Li said. “For instance, the widely known entrance to the Netherworld is at the Falling Ground.”
The Falling Ground, a legendary place where ancient gods and demons and the God Dragon fought to their mutual destruction.
Now it has become a forbidden zone for life and energy, no living being can traverse it, including energy beings. Thus, the Southern and Northern Barbarian Wastes were literally split apart. Neither the Motuo Empire nor the eight Great Demon Kings can cross it.
Gou Li’s words were already very clear; the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, formed by the collision of star power from outer space, although far less immense than the mutual destruction of an ancient demon god and the God Dragon, clearly exceeded some limit.
So, could these Ruins of Doom Magic Capital also be one of the entrances to the Netherworld?
If these ideas are valid, then without a doubt, the Ghost King has already fled to the Netherworld, which should be considered its homeland.
After clarifying his thoughts, Lanling began to purposefully search for the imagined entrance to the Netherworld.
If it leads to the Netherworld? What is it, a portal? Or a hell rift? (Of course, the hell rift here is not the one sought for the Star Magic Meteorite.)
Previously, when Lanling entered the dimension of the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital from reality, he almost came through the center of the seabed.
So the entrance to the Netherworld, should it be there?
The center of the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, or at the edge?
Lanling first searched the center of the ruins repeatedly and found nothing.
Then, riding the Chimera, he searched along the edges of the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital.
