Chapter 275 Life and Death
Chapter 275 Life and Death
Behind the passage, which is several meters long, is a huge ice chamber, with an extremely exquisite and gorgeous ice sculpture of a nine-headed banshee in the very center.
The succubus closed her eyes and made strange gestures with her hands.
As Yu Yao was about to study it, she suddenly noticed that the main head of the Frost Banshee seemed to have changed.
She was about to look up when she looked down warily again.
Don't look! That demoness has clearly opened her eyes!
A dark golden light emanated from the banshee's eyes, inexplicably frightening.
Yu Yao tore a strip of cloth from her clothes and tied it over her eyes.
Only then did he feel relieved enough to raise his head and use his severely suppressed spiritual sense instead of his eyes to observe his surroundings.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear a very soft laugh.
In another space, Ji Yan and a giant made of frost were looking at the image of Yu Yao's space on the wall.
The giant was five meters tall, exceptionally robust, with tiger-like eyes and an ox-like nose. A complex, dark gold mark was imprinted between his eyebrows, mysterious and somewhat frightening.
He looked at Ji Yan, his voice deep and resonant.
"Your little sweetheart is really clever."
The banshee's eyes have the ability to freeze instantly; once you make eye contact with her, there's no escape.
Ji Yan looked at Yu Yao. Her eyes were covered by a white cloth, which made the lower half of her face appear even more delicate and petite, with alluring red lips.
He curled his lips into a smile and shook his head.
"Not a lover, just a friend."
“Stubborn little thing…” The Frost Giant chuckled. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. I just want to tell you that even if she has some cleverness and skill, she won’t pass the subsequent tests. Do you really want to watch her die?”
Ji Yan remained silent, staring intently at the image on the wall.
As soon as Yu Yao covered her eyes, the Frost Demoness suddenly reached out a hand to grab her.
Although Yu Yao is blind, she is quick-witted and agile.
After stepping back, he leaped up, stepping on the Frost Banshee's hand, and charged towards the Frost Banshee's main head.
Before the main head could dodge, a punch slammed into her forehead.
Immediately afterwards, a bright golden crack began to slowly open from between the banshee's eyebrows.
A few seconds later, the main head of the Frost Banshee was covered with cracks, and then it exploded, leaving terrible craters where the fragments hit.
At the same time, the other eight heads opened their eyes simultaneously.
Sixteen dark golden "laser" beams shone towards Yu Yao at the same time.
The intense energy melted everything in its path, leaving behind terrifying marks.
Yu Yao quickly jumped backward and landed in a safe position.
The Frost Banshee's two large hands followed closely behind, and Yu Yao dodged again, running upwards along the banshee's arms.
Taking advantage of the Frost Banshee's lack of agility, he kicked her head off with each kick.
Just half a minute.
The nine-headed banshee became a headless ice sculpture and a pile of broken ice.
The frost giant in the other dimension suddenly brightened up.
"Oh? This little girl is even better than I imagined... In that case... I'll have to consider passing on my skills to her."
After saying that, he looked at Ji Yan again.
"It's a pity that my physique isn't as compatible as yours."
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Ji Yan's originally calm eyes.
The frost giant caught the hint of panic, and the light in his eyes shone even brighter.
"Why don't you two have a competition? Whoever reaches me first... will receive the inheritance of the Nine Nether Ancient God and achieve the Ice-type Sacred Body – the Nine Nether Ancient God Body."
As he spoke, his body began to gradually dissipate.
In the last moment before he disappeared, his deep, resonant voice came again.
"I'll give you a backdoor, choose the dead end..."
As the Frost Giant disappeared, Yu Yao in another space also defeated the Frost Banshee, leaving only ice shards and half a pair of crippled legs.
The passage opened again, and when Yu Yao, her fists red, walked over, she found that Ji Yan was already there.
"Ji Yan?"
Ji Yan looked at her and nodded quietly.
"Why did you come down here too?" Yu Yao asked again.
Ji Yan replied, "Not long after you went down, a whirlpool appeared on the lake. I was afraid you were in danger, so I came down to check."
Yu Yao lowered her eyes.
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Ji Yan laughed and said, "What are you talking about? We're friends. Shouldn't we face things together when we encounter problems?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Yu Yao's reply, he pointed to two large gates made of ice and frost not far away.
"Are you suggesting we split up and go in to take a look?"
Yu Yao then looked up at the two conspicuous frost gates.
The door frame was made of ice, and there was no solid door inside, only two ice-blue vortexes.
Two large golden characters floated gently on the vortex.
Life and death.
Yu Yao frowned, but before she could speak, a deep voice suddenly rang out.
"Two doors, one for each person, one for life and one for death. Behind one door lies the inheritance of my memories; behind the other door lies a spiritual pearl formed from the spiritual power of my entire life. What you obtain depends on your choice."
Ji Yan looked at Yu Yao, who was deep in thought, and slowly shifted his gaze to the Death Gate.
That death was not physical death.
Rather, it's a death of the heart.
The first thing to do after receiving the inheritance of the Ancient God of the Nine Netherworlds is to sever emotions and become a person without feelings or love.
Moreover, accepting the inheritance... is almost certainly a death sentence.
Over tens of millions of years, at least eight thousand people have come to this inheritance space.
But none of them escaped death and their souls scattered.
