#500 - The Test of the Hall of No Life
Deep underground within the territory of the Netherworld Demon Sect lies a vast underground palace.
The surroundings are dim, with thirty-six enormous pillars standing tall, engraved with dense black patterns, swirling with demonic energy, eerie and bewitching.
At the center of the underground palace is a massive blood pool, with countless dense grooves on the ground connecting the thirty-six pillars, filled with boiling, vivid blood, emanating a pungent bloody scent and fierce aura, making one's scalp tingle!
Within the blood pool, countless blurred and twisted black shadows float, including beings from the human race, demon race, ferocious beasts, and other races, emitting shrill and ferocious wails, a scene as if from hell!
This blood pool is extremely vast, seemingly stretching endlessly, making it hard to imagine just how many living beings had to be slaughtered to gather such a massive amount of blood!
In the middle of the blood pool, a huge white bone tree grows prominently!
This white bone tree is thousands of feet tall, but its entire body is covered with cracks, and most of its branches are already broken, with scorched patches everywhere, as if it had undergone a terrifying tribulation of lightning.
At this moment, several roots of the white bone tree are constantly spreading, greedily absorbing the blood pool, with the boiling blood continuously flowing into the white bone tree, and the originally dim and dull bones begin to light up with wisps of luster.
An unimaginable terrifying aura looms, causing even the void to hum and tremble!
Half an hour later, the vast blood pool is completely devoured!
The entire massive white bone tree is now shrouded in dense demonic energy, looming, with a terrifying pressure enveloping it, like a demon god in slumber!
Powerful figures like Old Demon Black Mountain, Blood Demon Child, and Demoness Yan Yue are all tense, their souls shuddering, their faces full of reverence.
Su Chen, however, stares at this strange white bone tree, seemingly lost in thought.
Knowing the plot well, Su Chen knows that this white bone tree is the remains of the Fallen Lifeless Demon God!
The Lifeless Demon God was a peerless expert in the God King Realm during his lifetime!
Lifeless Hall is precisely the small world within the remains of the Lifeless Demon God!
"Go, whether you can obtain the Lifeless Hall inheritance depends on your own fortune."
Old Demon Black Mountain says in a low voice.
Each time people enter the Lifeless Hall, they suffer heavy losses, either obtaining the Demon God's inheritance or dying inside, with no third option!
Moreover, whether one can obtain the Demon God's inheritance is not entirely related to talent; luck is the most important factor.
Therefore, Old Demon Black Mountain cannot guarantee that Su Chen and Xin Yan will both come out alive.
The remaining hundred or so demon cultivator geniuses all have solemn expressions, quite nervous, but Su Chen is very calm, striding towards the white bone tree, and quietly activating the Heaven Devouring Demon Art.
When Su Chen and his group enter the range of the blood pool, the massive white bone tree moves, with branches slowly drooping down, wrapping up Su Chen, Xin Yan, and the others.
On the trunk of the white bone tree, a blurred ghost face emerges, opening its bloody mouth, swallowing Su Chen, Xin Yan, and the others whole!
Out of the hundred or so people, only forty or so are eventually swallowed, and then the white bone tree's demonic energy shakes, and the remaining seventy or so people are all blasted away, coughing up blood, suffering considerable injuries.
Failing to gain the recognition of the Lifeless Hall leaves them quite unwilling, their faces ashen.
Su Chen and Xin Yan only feel a darkness before their eyes, the surrounding space twisting, bringing a feeling of dizziness.
When the two regain their sight, their hearts leap, witnessing a shocking scene.
This is a dim and dilapidated world, with dense demonic energy filling every inch of space, and shocking spatial rifts everywhere in the sky, intertwined with blood-colored lightning, gales blowing, and raging fires, like the end of the world!
The earth is broken into countless small pieces, with a thick miasma of death permeating the air, and countless remains scattered about, as if one has arrived in the Netherworld Hell.
In the central area of this dilapidated world is a towering, unimaginably vast black demon tree!
Its trunk is like a towering mountain, standing proudly between heaven and earth, piercing through the clouds, extending directly into the outer realms!
The canopy continues to spread in the outer realm starry sky, seemingly without end, like a sky curtain, covering everything!
Countless corpses are pierced on countless branches, and rolling blood flows along the branches, all gathering on the trunk.
An unimaginable terrifying demonic might comes crashing down, causing everyone's souls to tremble!
Some demon cultivators with weaker strength and will even lose control of their bodies, kneeling on the spot, shivering!
"What is this tree..."
Many demon cultivators swallow hard, their hearts filled with inexplicable shock!
Su Chen narrows his eyes slightly, his heart similarly shaken.
Only by seeing it with one's own eyes can one feel just how astonishing that terrifying, monstrous demonic might is!
However, Su Chen clearly knows that the demon tree before him is only an illusion from when the Lifeless Demon God fought against countless powerful enemies before his death, projected from the distant past into the present world, and is not truly real.
Boom—
The towering demon tree trembles slightly, and an irresistible power of law spreads, forcibly scattering Su Chen and the others into different areas.
Only Xin Yan flies straight towards the demon tree illusion, eventually disappearing directly into the tree trunk!
After that, in the outer realm starry sky, branches hang down from the vast and boundless canopy, appearing in front of Su Chen and the others.
Each branch is pierced with many bloody corpses.
Some have as few as a dozen, while others even have hundreds!
These branches gently flick, and the corpses, with a rustling sound, fall down, and the corpses that were originally drained of blood seem to rewind in time, with blood rapidly returning to their bodies, wounds healing, and all "coming back to life"!
These corpses turn into fresh living beings, their auras strong and terrifying, but their eyes all flicker with a strange black light, surrounding Su Chen and the others.
This is the test of Lifeless Hall; only by defeating these powerful enemies is one qualified to obtain the Demon God's inheritance!
Being killed by the Lifeless Demon God, these beings were all powerful experts in their own right before their deaths, with cultivations at least in the Origin God Realm, and even including great powerhouses at the Heavenly God Realm level!
Although the cultivation realms of these "resurrected" beings are suppressed, equivalent to the respective cultivations of Su Chen and the others, this is still terrifying enough!
Those who can cultivate to the Origin God Realm are all top geniuses from various forces, no worse than the demon cultivators, and some are even stronger!
In the same realm, it is still difficult to say who would win in a one-on-one fight, let alone facing so many powerful enemies at the same time!
"No—"
"Why is my luck so bad!"
"I am not reconciled!!"
Soon, from a certain direction, comes a demon cultivator's terrified and unwilling shout, which then turns into a shrill wail, quickly coming to an abrupt end.
Because the branch he faces actually has hundreds of corpses hanging on it!
This means that he has to face hundreds of powerful enemies in the same realm at the same time!
That demon cultivator's talent and strength are not weak, but in just a few breaths, he is torn apart by hundreds of enemies, and even if he has a protective talisman on his body, it is useless!
