“Boom!”
There was thunder in the sky and heavy rain was falling continuously.
A man with a panicked look on his face was running non-stop in the rainy night. He ran faster and faster, his eyes full of panic.
No matter what was blocking his way, he could easily cut it apart. The sharp cuts proved all the time that he was an excellent swordsman.
The knife in his left hand had broken at some point, and his right hand was shaking so much that he couldn't hold it steadily. He didn't look like a swordsman at all.
It's so contradictory.
The man seemed to be exhausted. His feet went weak and he fell to the ground in an instant, looking extremely miserable.
He was still exerting force with his claws, pinching himself with one hand and grasping the ground with the other, struggling to crawl forward.
An invisible black light spread from the ground, and the man seemed to have sensed something and fell to the ground in despair.
The black light instantly emerged from the ground and turned into a huge mouth, swallowing the man completely, leaving only muddy marks on the ground to prove that he had struggled.
"No!"
The man screamed in a trance, and the world was spinning and changing all of a sudden.
No more thunder, no more heavy rain, no more wind, or even any other sound.
He seemed to be in a dark world, boundless, without any sound or color.
The man sat on the ground dejectedly. In front of him, there were a few people scattered around. They walked towards the distance numbly, lonely. It was unknown how long this group of people had been walking.
Maybe a year.
Maybe two years.
Maybe three years.
In this dark place where there is no concept of time, they walked endlessly, chasing the invisible light in the distance, and their hearts had long been numb.
The man roared in despair, but no matter how much he shouted, no sound could be heard. The person in the distance didn't even raise his head, as if nothing happened.
In this weird world, numbness is the true nature.
Because in this world, you can only see the figures of other people. No matter how hard you chase them, it’s as if you are isolated by a piece of sky and you can’t touch them at all.
The man laughed mockingly and lay weakly on the ground, looking at the faint light in the distance with his remaining eyes.
Perhaps this is the cruelest thing.
I could have endured the darkness, why, show me the light.
…
"The paradise is beyond all the sufferings of the world. Beauty, desire, love, hate, greed, killing and despair will completely disappear."
Russell murmured to himself, "In my world, you will forget everything, forget all the pain, this is paradise!"
He slowly raised his head, his eyes were pure black, without any light, just like the rune, like a black hole.
"Even if someone knows where the flaw in Paradise is, how many people can persist?"
The only source of the flaw in the Paradise is that distant glimmer, which has also become the greatest punishment in the Paradise.
Hope is sometimes the cruelest torture in the world!
Russell slowly closed his eyes, like God, quietly watching the people in the paradise. They fell down while walking and never got up again.
Some of them knelt on the ground, begging for mercy desperately.
Some pointed at Russell and cursed at him, but no sound could be heard, but they continued to curse vigorously.
Russell watched silently. In the paradise, those people were still walking. Time seemed to be non-existent and yet seemed eternal. After an unknown amount of time, everyone fell down.
The soul wandering in the paradise, and the extremely mottled resentment, there is despair, pain, and more of it is numbness.
The body was dead, but the soul was still numb, and it continued to move forward like a zombie.
An inexplicable suction force turned everything into black light, and everything turned into darkness.
Russell shuddered all over, clearly feeling that his soul had become noticeably stronger.
If I practice this on my own, it will probably take me a month.
It can even be comparable to several hundred-year-old monsters!
Russell's eyes were full of greed. He only captured a dozen unlucky guys, and the one with the highest cultivation level was only at the seventh or eighth level of human master.
But in the enjoyment of the paradise, resentment reached its extreme, and the soul became exceptionally pure, reaching an unexpected level.
One person, ten people, a thousand people, ten thousand people, a million people...
Russell's eyes kept flickering. He lowered his head and smiled, quietly watching the heavy rain outside and the fresh feeling blowing on his face.
"I'm not a good person, but I'm not a bad person either, right?"
"master!"
"I can't play around anymore. I need to enter Neimeng as soon as possible. It's taking too long and it doesn't suit my status as a genius..."
His body trembled, and he instantly rose from the ground, turning into a black shadow and disappearing into the night.
This time, he did not have the thunder wings behind him, but relied entirely on his own spiritual power to fly.
When there is an opportunity in the future, when my soul is stronger and my magic power is stronger, it seems that only then will I have a chance to learn the art of climbing clouds.
As for that somersault of a thousand miles, don't even think about it.
Russell couldn't help but laugh at himself. He didn't expect that he would have to fight hard to be qualified to touch something that others disliked.
I wonder what that monkey looks like
…
Capital city.
The real center of the Qin Empire.
Through the efforts of the First Emperor and his six generations of descendants, the capital has truly been consolidated into the center of the hell of swords and the center of the entire world.
It is extremely large, incredibly large, and even encompasses several mountain ranges. It is more like a country than a city.
The city wall towers into the sky, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see.
According to legend, this was built by Emperor Qin Shi Huang after he encountered an invasion by the King of Ghosts leading millions of ghost soldiers on the day the country was founded. The purpose was to prevent the ghost soldiers from invading again.
What is even more fascinating is that this city wall was not built by humans at all, but was built using a magic weapon called automation.
And their master was the greatest Emperor Qin Shi Huang. With just a thought, he built this city wall that towered into the sky and stretched for countless miles.
It's scorching hot outside, but mild as spring inside.
It was snowing heavily outside, but it was as mild as spring inside.
Nearly 500 years have passed, and there has not been a single natural disaster here, including drought, heavy rain, hurricane, or hail.
Therefore, the capital city was also called the forbidden land of gods, and even the god in charge of the weather would not easily set foot there.
Among all the capital cities, the most honorable ones are the royal family of the Qin Empire.
But the most precious treasure is the nine-story Tower of Babel standing in the city. According to legend, as long as you pass all nine floors, you can obtain the treasure of the First Emperor.
"My treasures are all there. If you want them, go get them!"
Every year, countless young people from all over the country rush into the Tower of Babel, and even if they get beaten to a pulp, they are still excited.
This Tower of Babel is extremely difficult to climb. Every level you pass represents the difference between heaven and earth. Gradually, this has become the true standard for evaluating genius.
Climbing the Tower of Babel is even crazier than taking an imperial examination, and it has become an honor that almost everyone dreams of.
And today, it seems that another stubborn young man has come to this place.
Russell stared quietly at the tall tower in front of him. He was not here for fame, but for something else.
"If you want to ascend to the immortal path, only the Great Qin Empire has the ability to do so."
"To obtain this qualification from among the countless others, one must either be a member of the royal family or have made outstanding military achievements for the Qin Empire."
"If you don't have either, there's only one way."
"Break into the Tower of Babel!"
