Crash...
Suddenly, a fire lit up in the dim space, circling the wall in a series of circles, like vines climbing. The pale flames were suspended in the air, gradually illuminating the interior of the tower.
This is a wide space of several hundred square meters, without any fancy decorations, only hard and thick gray-white walls. The overall environment is also empty, with a pentagram-shaped altar in the middle, which is about the size of a room.
At each corner of the pentagram, there was a half-man-high metal pillar standing, which flickered slightly in the light of the fire.
Next to the altar, a human-shaped statue stood quietly. Its surface was full of cracks, and its features were blurred. It was the one that made the sound in the darkness just now, as if it was welcoming Kaxiu.
After taking a quick look at the first floor of the tower, Kaxiu immediately walked towards the statue. This was the only individual here that could communicate.
"The bearer of the Rune of Wisdom..."
"My energy is running out."
"Everything you want to know is in the Doom Library on the second floor..."
The statue suddenly spoke, and the next second, the entire body fell silent. There seemed to be more cracks on the surface of the body.
Kaxiu's eyes flashed, and he finally walked towards the stairs.
He went up all the way and soon reached the second floor. A pale flame lit up, illuminating the entire second floor.
There are densely packed bookshelves here, row after row, column after column, with many ancient and heavy hardcover books stacked up.
Kaxiu searched for a while and found a desk at the end of the right hand side of the staircase on the second floor. On the desk was a metallic diary covered with dust.
Wipe it clean, open it and read its contents.
1. Speculations and maps about the origin of the world of disaster...
2. Classification of Disaster Creatures…
3. Souls and the Dead...
4. Comprehensive guide to using the Shelter Tower...
Each piece of content is followed by the corresponding book location.
All Kaxiu needs to do is look for it on the bookshelf.
Five minutes later, he sat at the table and opened the book.
At first, Kasu thought he had come to a distorted realm, which was a special area defined by the new humans.
Now I know that there is no comparison between the two. The disaster world is the opposite of the entire real world. If the real world is compared to day, then the disaster world is night.
Similar to the relationship between the surface world and the deep world.
The surface world of reality represents human rationality, while the deep world of disaster is filled with animal madness. This place is more like a strange and terrifying nightmare, and also a bizarre hell.
Wild beasts are roaming around and a blood moon is hanging in the sky. It is a forbidden zone for the living.
However, there was no disaster world in the beginning!
The planet is peacefully undergoing the process of civilization evolution.
Until a certain era in ancient times, disaster struck. The world fell into turmoil and chaos, and all kinds of strange things happened one after another. That bloody era lasted for a long time, until humans paid a huge price and temporarily suppressed the disaster.
However, danger is still quietly accumulating strength in the darkness.
It should be noted that the book mentions that the appearance of the disaster seems to be related to the Black Rain Villa. In addition to the Black Rain Villa in the real world, there is also a Black Rain Villa in the world of disaster.
This seems to be the reason why Black Rain Villa cannot be completely destroyed. Its main body is in the disaster world!
Kaxiu looked at the map of the disaster world again. It was a piece of parchment sandwiched between the books, with an ancient light yellow color.
Very tough, no damage at all, easy to carry.
The world of disaster is huge, an endless strange continent, which is divided into several representative areas.
Pale Earth, Dead Rain Zone, Desperate Bone Forest, Dark Mountains, Scarlet Lake, Rotten Swamp, Crystalline Sand Sea, etc...
If you add them all up, it's enough to reach more than double digits.
This is a very wide environment, and within these areas, there are some iconic areas. For example, the Gray City where Kaxiu is now located is located in the northwest of the Pale Land.
The Black Rain Villa in the Disaster World is located in the Dead Rain Area.
Kaxiu only glanced at these and quickly read the following information. Disaster creatures, also known as dark creatures, are essentially deformed, twisted and incomplete.
The three gates of physique, spirit, and mind represent the three fundamental rules of the world. Any creature born in this world should have these three fundamental rules, which are the pillars of life. If any one of them is missing, life will cease to exist.
However, disaster struck, forming a disaster world. The life born in the disaster world was distorted by the disaster, lacking one of the three origins. As a result, it presents a strange life posture, and is affected by the disaster of the world all the time.
It becomes more extreme, more chaotic, and more animalistic.
Yes, the source of dark creatures is the world of disaster.
All the dark creatures in the real world originally came from the disaster world and reached the surface from the deep through the gap.
The book contains a classification of dark creatures according to their levels and strengths.
The lowest level is the beast, who kills and fights completely on instinct, without any reason, and is dominated by the chaotic rules of the world.
The second type is the Wild Beast, which is more aggressive and has a stronger desire to kill. It can get angry and crazy, and although it still seems to lack rationality, it has already experienced simple emotional changes.
Then came the disaster spirits, who initially regained their sanity and were no longer chaotic. But this meant even more fear and danger!
The last one is the ultimate darkness, also known as the dark original.
They have unimaginable and terrifying abilities, the power to change the terrain and overturn the mountains and seas. Some are even the founders of a tribe.
Except for the ultimate dark form, wild beasts, mad beasts and disaster spirits are divided into lower, middle and upper levels to distinguish their strength.
The dark creatures that Kaxiu had encountered before could be matched one by one using this system. For example, the Uncorrupted, Undead, and Indestructible dead blood corresponded to the Wild Beasts and Disaster Spirits.
It should be noted that the dark creatures in the world of disaster are more aggressive, more dangerous, and more powerful. The dark creatures in the real world have all escaped from the world of disaster. They are generally more rational and intelligent. After leaving the influence of the world of disaster, the dark creatures in the real world still retain their twisted nature, but they are more rational.
However, rationality represents weakness in the world of disaster.
The crazier the dark creatures of the same level, the more powerful they are.
Depending on the special areas of the world of disaster, the dark creatures in that area will have some environmental characteristics and be divided into different groups, such as the scarlet group, the corrupted group, the crystallized group, the evil insect group, etc. It can be said that dark creatures are everywhere.
Kaxiu was a little eager to make a move when he saw this. Although this place was very dangerous, it was a good place to hunt dark creatures and obtain a large amount of life vibration energy to quickly improve strength.
Without thinking deeply, continue to watch the third material.
A soul master is a master who enters the world of disaster in the form of spirit like Kaxiu. First of all, if you want to become a soul master, you need to have enough spirit. In other words, the minimum threshold is the fighter level, which can gather the body for action.
Resist the endless disaster that is everywhere in the air.
The counterpart of the soul is the undead.
This is a fighter who died in the real world. His spirit, which far exceeds that of an ordinary human, is difficult to dissipate. He gradually fell from the surface world to the deep world and turned into a mindless dead spirit.
They walked aimlessly on the land, following their martial arts instincts. They were either fighting, sleeping, or practicing. They were powerful individuals, with strength comparable to that of a disaster spirit.
These undead spirits are immortal, and even if they are defeated, they will regroup in a corner of the world of disaster. However, they will be weak and lose some of their spirit fragments, which contain thousands of years of pure fighting experience, which can be absorbed by the spirit masters and other undead spirits. But it is precisely because of this characteristic that the spirit masters and undead spirits will attract each other and attack each other.
Kaxiu continued to think and read the last book.
This white tower is called the Shelter Tower, which was built by the Aoyin civilization in the Disaster World. Every special area has such a tower, which is both a safe house and a guide.
The Tower of Sanctuary has magical powers.
First floor, resurrection altar.
To put it simply, it allows the user to be resurrected.
However, it is limited to owners of five keystone runes.
Furthermore, the owner must provide energy every time he is resurrected.
The Wisdom Rune represents spiritual blood. A full bar of spiritual blood can revive the card once.
Energy needs to be injected into the resurrection altar in advance.
Kaxiu was not too clear about the principle behind it, but it was probably related to the body composed of spirit and wisdom runes. Spirit was not the body, and it could still be re-condensed after it disintegrated.
The wisdom runes on Qipo's body are connected to the resurrection altar, and they can resonate with each other even across a long distance.
It is very likely that the resurrection altar will attract the scattered spirit back bit by bit, and take a certain amount of time to condense the body again.
With the existence of the resurrection altar, Kaxiu can obviously feel more at ease. After all, exploring the disaster world is quite dangerous.
There are dark creatures everywhere and the environment is dangerous.
There is even the possibility that a fighter-level undead will be attracted and fight to the death with Kasu without saying a word.
The second floor, the Library of Doom.
That is where Kaxiu is now. It stores some information about the world of disaster, detailed intelligence on various dangerous areas and evil tribes. It also serves as a guide.
The third layer is the defensive magic array.
Its core is a half-human-high transparent crystal, surrounded by rituals throughout the tower. After activation, it can produce a defensive gray film similar to a barrier, covering the white tower.
To prevent damage to the all-important resurrection altar.
As long as there is enough energy, even if the ultimate dark form appears, the defensive gray film can resist one or two. This can make the White Tower like a safe house, allowing the soul to rest assured.
You should know that if you enter the world of disaster with your spirit body, you will be affected by the endless disasters in the air. If you stay there for too long, you will lose your mind and gradually turn into a crazy beast. However, inside the White Tower with the defense array activated, the disasters will be filtered out and expelled, allowing the spirit to recover to a state where they can move normally.
Spiritual blood can serve as the maintaining energy of the defensive array.
In addition, the core crystal of the defensive array can also play a positioning role and can be used in conjunction with the map that Kaxiu just obtained.
No matter where Kaxiu is in the world of disaster, there will be two red dots on the map, one is fixed, which is the location of the shelter tower, and the other is mobile, which is Kaxiu himself.
In this way, the position and direction can be distinguished.
So as not to lose yourself in various strange environments.
Another thing to note is that there is not just one shelter tower. Every special area in the disaster world has a tower that provides disaster relief and serves as a safe house.
There is no teleportation function between the towers, but there are two wonderful methods that allow Kaxiu to quickly travel between several special areas in the disaster world without having to travel dangerously through mountains and rivers.
First, leave one person's spiritual blood on the resurrection altar of each tower, so that after death you can choose which tower to resurrect in and re-condense into a spirit body.
Second, there is a magical item called the Soul Master's Certificate on the third floor of the tower. After Kaxiu gets it, he no longer has to go through a fixed tunnel to enter the Disaster World. He only needs to activate the Soul Master's Certificate to enter the Disaster World from any location in the real world. However, the initial location of the Soul Master's Certificate can be selected.
Kashu can designate any activated shelter tower.
With a snap, a pair of hands closed the ancient book again.
Kaxiu took a deep breath and digested the contents in his mind.
Suddenly, he found something wrong. Kaxiu had been a night hunter in Black Rain Villa during his third time back in time, and he had hunted many dark creatures. But he had never heard of or encountered a tunnel leading to the world of disaster.
Faced with Kasu's torture, all the dark creatures showed that they were species from the real world.
The Black Agency also has no information about the world of disaster.
This is very wrong.
Something must have happened between the Red Lebanese Empire and the Red Lebanese Federation that led to the information gap.
No, this is no longer an information gap, but a conceptual gap. Everyone, including the dark creatures themselves, have forgotten the concept of the world of disaster. Just like when Kaxiu returned for the third time, he vaguely felt a pair of mysterious hands blocking the contact and collision between the secret martial world and other extraordinary forces. The secret martial world seems to be an independent existence that has been separated and has difficulty in intersecting with other forces.
Moreover, Kaxiu has always had a question. The secret martial arts world has been declining for hundreds of years. Is it really because of the technological progress and the changing times? It seems that there is not necessarily an absolute relationship between the two. For example, scientific training movements can give martial arts practitioners a better technical strength foundation.
Behind all of this, there seems to be a mysterious force manipulating it. It is like an eye in the mist, looking down at the world from above, occasionally making a move to change the veins of the times.
Is it the sect? Or is it the immortal Xiadu
Kaxiu didn't know.
He only knew that he had to go to the third floor to take the Soul Master's Certificate, then go to Gray City to hunt down dark creatures, use a portion of spiritual blood to activate the tower's defense layer, and then slowly plan.
