PFC Chapter 344 Road To Hell, Retrograde Rebirth
Chapter 344 Road To Hell, Retrograde Rebirth
The withering aura quickly spread.
Ten li, a hundred li, a thousand li, it soon exceeded the range previously affected by Ling Xiuhe's forbidden spell.
Wherever it passed, trees withered, soil dried up, the living perished, and all things turned a pale gray.
The incredibly abundant vitality seemed to have been plagued and transformed into a putrid odor.
The massive odor of decay gathered above Elcto's head, forming a purple-black giant hand.
Li Xiangyue frowned, her figure turning into a black shadow and disappearing.
"Throne of Shadows, are you also going to run away?"
Elcto Anomaly smiled, "Unfortunately, you can't escape! This move represents all my hatred and longing for you! You must take it!"
The purple-black giant hand fiercely slapped towards Chen Yu's direction.
Ling Xiuhe and Mingxin Throne's faces changed drastically.
Their domains instantly activated to the extreme.
Countless flying swords converged into a long dragon, and fierce white flames soared.
However, under the purple-black giant hand, they shattered like bubbles, achieving nothing.
The forbidden technique of comprehending the essence of power, an attack that came at the cost of one's own life and all their strength, was too terrifying, already surpassing the limit of Rank Eight.
Not to mention Ling Xiuhe.
Even a Rank Nine expert would need to take it seriously.
Just as the purple-black giant hand was about to fall.
The air suddenly twisted like a vortex.
From the center of the vortex, endless shadows gushed out, condensing into dozens of long blades.
The blades' edges were tinged with red, enveloping substantial killing techniques, directly stabbing towards the purple-black giant hand.
Boom—
The purple-black giant hand clashed with the dark red shadow blades, the power of their formidable techniques colliding.
Like two comets with straight trajectories colliding head-on, they erupted with earth-shattering fluctuations.
The defense upheld by Ling Xiuhe and Mingxin Throne was instantly destroyed.
Even the Five Extreme Holy Beasts of Yun Chenyu couldn't hold on for a second, crumbling upon contact and dissipating into black smoke.
Chen Yu felt as if his body had fallen into a pool of red-hot molten iron.
Without even a tiny bubble splashing up, he had already disappeared without a trace.
The soul without a physical body was like liquefied gas escaping from an unsealed container, spreading and vanishing into the boundless world.
The two scattered powers of the forbidden technique, like maggots clinging to bones, shuttled through the soul, accelerating the process of its dissipation.
"To think he died."
With a thought from Chen Yu, his soul reformed, and the power of the technique that caused continuous damage disappeared without a trace.
[Hint: You have died. Detected resurrection item, "Cross of Rebirth." You can use "Cross of Rebirth" to resurrect.]
[Hint: Due to not binding a resurrection point, "Cross of Rebirth" will resurrect you in the same location.]
[Hint: Detected high-level resurrection item, "Amaryllis." You can use "Amaryllis" to resurrect.]
"Master."
At this moment, a gray-colored phantom of will appeared beside Chen Yu's soul body.
The phantom of will on the path to the afterlife handed a transparent sphere to Chen Yu.
Curled up inside the transparent sphere was a cute little girl with her eyes tightly closed.
From her appearance, there was no doubt that it was Yun Chenyu.
When facing the aftermath of the clash of techniques, Yun Chenyu unhesitatingly stood in front of Chen Yu.
As a result, not only was Chen Yu not saved, she also perished.
"Revive us." Chen Yu commanded.
"Yes, master." The phantom of will on the path to the afterlife disappeared.
Where Chen Yu's body was destroyed.
A muddy yellow road shadow extended from the void, seeming both real and illusory.
I do not know where I came from, nor do I know where I am going.
On both sides of the road, beautiful red amaryllis flowers bloom, swaying gracefully with a solemn and mournful beauty.
Two figures, one large and one small, slowly walk from the end of the road.
At a certain moment, with a certain step, it seems like they have taken a step that transcends life and death, and their ethereal figures become real.
"This is..."
Yun Chenyu instinctively wants to turn her head and look back at the road she came from.
But Chen Yu holds her delicate face and playfully shakes his finger.
"Master, on the path of rebirth, you cannot turn back! Are you still attached to the place where the deceased belong?"
Yun Chenyu wakes up as if from a dream, shivering all over and shaking her head repeatedly.
Then she couldn't help but ask,
"Just now, did we die? What is that road? Where did I go before?"
"The Netherworld, the path of rebirth, the place where living beings meet their end and the deceased find their resting place," Chen Yu says calmly.
"Going forward means following the natural order from life to death, while going against it means fighting against fate from death to life."
What Chen Yu said was actually just a simple resurrection.
He was just being mysterious to impress the little girl.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the little girl showed a look of relief and joy, her eyes filled with stars as she looked at Chen Yu.
"Cough cough cough - are you both okay?!"
Ling Xiuhe limps over, blood continuously oozing from his seven orifices.
His breath is chaotic, and his body is covered in wounds.
The situation is even worse for Ming Xingwang, who has been contaminated by the withering and slaughter techniques, and is critically injured and on the verge of death.
The two of them keep patting themselves with various consumables, finally managing to save their lives.
"Do we look like we're fine?" Chen Yu's mouth twitches.
Ling Xiuhe looks at Chen Yu and Yun Chenyu, who are unscathed, and falls silent for a moment.
"We have blocked most of the residual power," he says.
"I'm sorry..." Yun Chenyu's face is full of shame.
A black shadow rises from the ground and after a wriggling, it turns into Li Xiangyue.
She is not in a good state either, already injured.
Seeing Chen Yu and Yun Chenyu, her expression becomes even more sour.
Muttering to herself, "If I had known you were going to die, I wouldn't have saved you."
If she wanted to run, Elcto's techniques wouldn't be able to hit her at all.
But she ended up taking the attack for Chen Yu, who still died, making her feel somewhat regretful.
"At least they're still alive." Chen Yu points to the half-dead Ling Xiuhe and Ming Xingwang.
"By the way, what about that corpse? Is it dead?"
"I don't know where it went." Li Xiangyue shakes her head. "It's probably dead."
"At that time, I didn't have the mind to care about its life or death."
Just then, a rain of arrows suddenly falls from the sky.
Li Xiangyue furrows her brows, throws her blade, and it turns into countless shadows, accurately intercepting each arrow.
"Boom boom boom -"
The rain of arrows explodes in the sky, causing a tremor as if missiles were detonating.
After a moment, the attackers reveal themselves.
It is the group of forbidden experts who attacked them before.
These forbidden experts are in much better condition than Ling Xiuhe and Ming Xingwang.
After all, they don't need to expend any strength to protect their teammates.
If someone weaker dies, they die.
There are a total of twelve attackers this time.
