Purgatory Artist-Chapter 413: The Inner World

[You've consumed three Nightmare Cards to activate 'Spirits of the Worlds']

[Note: The Sequence will provide you with a specific ritual that allows you to meet the spirits of the worlds]

[Special note: The dwelling of the spirits of the world is the Inner Plane, please make full preparations before entering]

[P.S: Meeting a World-ranked spirit is an extremely dangerous matter, you must understand this clearly]

All the text hovered motionlessly in the air.

Liu Ping was a bit surprised.

The Sequence had warned him of danger twice in a row, this was a very rare situation.

"Seems like I can't just ignore it ..."

Liu Ping muttered.

Four figures flew in from the wilderness and landed in front of him.

Wang Heavy Industry, old Lei, the rock man, as well as an unfamiliar beast-faced man.

Liu Ping calmed himself down and spoke: "Everyone, please introduce yourselves"

"I am Wang Heavy Industry, the first subordinate that sir took in"

"Lei Meng, you can just call me old Lei"

"I don't have a name, but you can call me Shi Jian"

"Xiangya, Beast Overlord."

Liu Ping nodded and spoke: "Since the battle between the four sides is over, I'm guessing that the Nightmare Underground Palace will have new information for us soon"

A gust of wind blew past.

Deep in the gloomy sky, a piece of paper flew down and circled around Liu Ping.

Liu Ping caught the paper.

A few lines of scribbled words were written on it:

[Congratulations, winner!]

[You've received an additional reward: Oblivion immunity]

[At the end of today, you will not fall into the ground because of anything and become nutrients for the underground palace]

[You have one hour to rest]

[After one hour, an even more exciting and interesting battle awaits you]

Liu Ping quickly read through it and spoke to the people below:

"Go rest, I'll call for you in one hour" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Yes, sir" the four Combatants replied in unison.

Liu Ping leapt up and flew across the sky, returning to the village he was originally in.

He went into the bar and poured himself a glass of liquor.

Downed it in one gulp.

Clang!

He put the glass back on the bar counter.

Liu Ping took a deep breath, an inexplicable expression on his face.

Suddenly.

A young voice called out:

"Drinking when you're in danger isn't a good habit"

Liu Ping looked down.

He saw the baby girl in his arms, looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.

"You're awake?" Liu Ping asked.

"Exceedingly dangerous fate kept surging, entangling, and reverberating around you, making it impossible for me to sleep. I had no choice but to wake up and warn you again. No matter where you go, don't leave me behind, or I will definitely die," the baby girl said.

"Can't I put you in a safe place when I encounter something extremely dangerous?" Liu Ping asked.

"No," the baby girl said.

"Alright, I've discovered something ... It might be dangerous, but I have to go and take a look," Liu Ping said.

"Is it something important?" the baby girl asked.

"Yes, I have some premonition in my heart. I don't know how to put it, but I haven't been affected by emotions for a long time. But at this moment, when I think about meeting a World Spirit, I feel very conflicted." Liu Ping said.

"A game of cards," the baby girl suddenly said.

"What?" Liu Ping did not understand and asked.

"I don't know. I just felt the word and said it out loud," the baby girl said.

She yawned, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Liu Ping sighed.

He poured himself another glass of liquor, drank it all at once, then closed his eyes to meditate.

A few moments later.

"Begin, Sequence" he said.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[Currently resonating with the world]

[Resonance successful!]

[Adjusting your soul frequency to allow you to resonate with the Inner Plane of the Nightmare Crypt]

[Success!]

[The door to the Inner Plane has been opened!]

[You may enter at any time, but please be careful!]

Liu Ping opened his eyes, thought for a bit, then drew four Cards.

Wang Jiancheng, old Lei, Shi Jian, and Xiang Ya were all resting in their Cards.

[Your followers are unable to bear the secret of the Inner Plane, as soon as they appear in the Inner Plane, they will immediately die, their souls will also completely disappear]

[Because of that, you cannot use these follower Cards]

Liu Ping shook his head and stood up from his seat.

An inexplicable feeling appeared in his mind, causing him to unconsciously look in a certain direction behind the bar.

Something was calling out to him.

Liu Ping left the bar counter, walked to the back door of the bar and opened it.

It was pitch black outside.

Only a flight of stairs that led downwards appeared below his feet.

Liu Ping hugged the baby girl tightly and walked down the stairs into the darkness.

Soon.

The light on the ground disappeared.

He walked down in the darkness, the surroundings were silent, only his soft footsteps could be heard.

He walked like this for about two minutes.

He reached the end of the stairs.

Liu Ping found himself standing in an empty building.

The ground was covered with an old grey carpet.

Above his head were numerous chandeliers, each of them giving off an extremely dim light.

The long hallway was completely silent.

There were many statues on both sides of the hallway, carved with human-like existences.

"Civilization ..."

Liu Ping muttered.

These statues were very lifelike, their expressions were very realistic, as if they were living beings.

Liu Ping stepped forward and slowly walked down the hallway.

The doors of the rooms on both sides of the hallway were tightly shut.

He tried to open one of them, only to see that the room was empty, only a single window allowed him to see what was outside.

Outside was a boundless, surging fog. It was impossible to see what else was there.

Liu Ping returned to the hallway and continued forward.

Rustle ... rustle ... rustle ...

He walked through the hallway and came to a study.

He saw two people standing in the study.

Just like the statues, these two people were only slightly different from humans, for example, their legs were longer than humans, their bodies were taller, and they didn't have ears.

These two people stood in the middle of the study, their expressions blank, they didn't move at all.

"Hello." Liu Ping tried to greet them.

The two of them didn't respond, nor did they move.

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, a line of small words appeared above their heads:

[Evil transformation in progress.]

Liu Ping was silent, then walked towards the bookshelf beside the sofa.

He saw rows upon rows of stone books on the bookshelves, but these books were all written in an unknown language.

Liu Ping was about to study the words in detail when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He turned around abruptly.

He saw that the two people were no longer in their original positions.

Unknowingly, they had moved to a place about five meters behind him, staring at him expressionlessly.

"What do you want?" Liu Ping asked.

The two of them still didn't move.

Liu Ping pretended to look at the books on the bookshelf, suddenly pulled out the Baina Blade, turned around and pointed.

The two men approached him again and stood about a meter away from him. They maintained their original posture and did not move an inch.

They were almost facing the blade.

Liu Ping said: "Do you want to play a game with me?"

Suddenly.

Outside the large floor-to-ceiling window of the study, a huge face quietly appeared, staring at Liu Ping expressionlessly.

Liu Ping glanced at the face.

Two lines of small words appeared above the face:

[Evil transformation in progress (about to be completed).]

[Note: With your strength, you can't resist its erosion.]

He was here to meet a world-class spirit, but he encountered such a monster.

Liu Ping stepped back step by step.

The two people in the study and the huge face outside the window stared at him motionlessly.

Liu Ping walked into another corridor, gently closed the door of the study, then continued to walk forward.

He suddenly stood still and sighed: "I guess the spirit here doesn't welcome me."

On the ceiling of the corridor, there were a few people standing upside down.

These people were also motionless, with a dull expression, as if they didn't notice Liu Ping's arrival at all.

Liu Ping took a few steps, his body suddenly flashed, and retreated to a corner.

On the way here, the door of the study had already opened, the two people appeared where he was originally standing, their hands turned into sharp gray thorns, and were stabbing forward.

Outside the window.

The huge face was stuck to the window, staring at Liu Ping expressionlessly.

Liu Ping silently watched this scene.

Suddenly.

The fog outside the other window dispersed, revealing the scene outside.

Liu Ping saw countless people.

Those people were all kneeling on the ground, sincerely praying.

Looking around, the whole world seemed to be filled with people kneeling on the ground praying.

But their bodies seemed to have been eroded by something, leaving only incomplete shells.

Liu Ping's breathing paused.

In a trance, an extremely distant scene appeared in his mind.

It was a world that was about to be completely destroyed.

Himself.

Many people were standing beside him.

Someone whispered: "You will find us, right?"

"Yes." He said.

The scene disappeared in a flash.

Liu Ping breathed heavily, calmed himself down, and spoke in a low voice:

"Seems like I'll have to deal with you first."

Just as he was about to act, something moved in his chest.

At some unknown point, the baby girl had woken up.

She reached out her small hand and lightly held Liu Ping's index finger.

A transparent thread was wrapped around Liu Ping's index finger.

The thread became thicker and thicker at a visible speed, becoming more and more resilient.

It continued to spread, until it had wrapped around his entire hand.

"Fate is the most unpredictable power within Occultism, whoever tries to control Fate will be toyed with by Fate, this is the most basic Causality Law of Fate"

The baby girl's voice came.

She appeared tired and continued: "I've interfered with Fate, trying to force you into a dead end"

The thread quickly spread, about to wrap around Liu Ping's arm.

"Because of my interference, Fate won't force you into a dead end, it's beginning to fluctuate in the opposite direction, it will find a chance for you to survive"

"Go."

"Before my thread completely wraps around you, you have to meet that spirit, otherwise everything will be in vain."
