Chapter 178 The Abyss of Fallen Gods
Chapter 178 The Abyss of Fallen Gods
But how can they, who have eaten human flesh, be considered human or rational?
Here, it is hundreds of times more brutal than even the most primitive animal kingdom.
If you are even slightly weak, you will be devoured by those "wandering ghosts." No wonder this place has been teeming with resentment and malevolent energy for years, and it can never be completely eradicated.
Those thrown here are all vicious and heinous criminals. Not only are there disciples who have made mistakes in the sect, but there are even a few fallen immortals at the Nascent Soul stage who have been imprisoned inside.
They were all imprisoned thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago. As for whether they are still alive now, we don't know. The restrictive formations set up outside were also set up by our predecessors. The current sacrificial activities are just some repairs and modifications made by people today.
Looking at this desolate place devoid of any life, Liu Jun raised his hand and threw out dozens of ice crystals that hovered in the air, seemingly talking to himself:
"You sinners in the Abyss of Fallen Gods, you are given the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to find a place of refuge. Those who are late will bear the consequences themselves."
The voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached every corner of the Fallen God Abyss. Whether they could hear it or not was up to them.
It is already more than enough that we have shown mercy to those who deserve to die and have allowed them to live to this extent.
After saying this, Liu Jun cast a spell to scatter the ice crystals in the air throughout the Fallen God Abyss and began to absorb the fog that had accumulated in the air for many years.
The ice crystals absorb the mist very quickly, but the Fallen God Abyss is not an ordinary place; it is comparable to a small secret realm. The mist inside has not been cleared for tens of thousands of years, so it will definitely take some time, but the time it takes for an incense stick to burn should be enough.
The matter of exorcising evil spirits cannot be rushed. The first step is to remove the haze, which is also the simplest step. Next is to purify the resentment, which requires a lot of effort. It has to be purified little by little, like spraying pesticides. The last step is to collect the evil spirits and destroy them.
As for the evil energy that re-emerges after everything is cleared away, that's not her concern. At least for the next few thousand years, she won't have any worries about it.
After about half an incense stick's time, the thick fog that had accumulated in the air was mostly absorbed by the ice crystals.
After millions of years, the Abyss of Fallen Gods has finally seen the sun again.
Under the sunlight, all conspiracies and schemes had nowhere to hide, and the mountain stream was no longer dark, damp, rotten, and lifeless.
Sunshine is always so delightful, as if everything has a future.
"The sun, it's the sun! Hahaha, it's the sun..."
"Hahahaha, the sun! The sun!!!"
"Sunlight, sunlight! Has the barrier been broken?! We can get out! Get out, get out! I want to get out!!!"
"Get out! Let me out! Damn it, they all deserve to die! I'm going to kill them all! Kill them, kill them!!!"
……
The whispers of the evil spirits turned into a frenzy of demons devouring their prey, growing ever stronger as if they had completely forgotten the woman's warning. They all viciously and desperately tried to fly upwards, wanting to escape this hellish place.
However, no one could fly more than a few steps before being forcefully suppressed by the restriction.
The sky was clear, but the light from several magic arrays and restrictions indicated that they could never leave this place.
"Why? Why! Let me out! Let me out!!!"
"Let me out! I'll kill all you hypocritical scum! Damn it, damn it!!!"
The mist was completely absorbed, and Liu Jun ignored the wailing and howling. With a wave of her hand, the scattered ice crystals flew back to her side.
Eighty-one crystals, not one was missing. Most of them were absorbed without any gaps. Only a few were absorbed by half or a small number. Fortunately, enough ice crystals were refined, and only a few remained in Liu Jun's sea of consciousness.
The ice crystals that had absorbed the mist circled around Liu Jun several times. Liu Jun took one to observe the transformation within it.
He waited until the conversion was complete before putting all the ice crystals into his storage ring. Hearing the still-growing, wailing sounds, he raised his voice slightly and said:
"This is the last warning. Seek refuge or face the consequences."
After saying that, Liu Jun made a hand seal to cast a protective array on himself, and took out an ice crystal from his storage ring. He paused for a moment, then crushed the ice crystal with a flick of his wrist.
A powerful shock instantly spread from the palm of the hand outwards. What was released was no longer the mist that had just been absorbed, but something that resembled both snow and dust, scattering in all directions.
The almost invisible powder did not fall to the ground but continued to float in the air, even rising upwards.
It appears to be drifting aimlessly, but upon closer inspection, it seems to be chasing something.
After crushing an ice crystal, Liu Jun lingered in place for a while to observe before moving on to the next spot to crush the next ice crystal.
And so Liu Jun began a series of actions, walking and repeatedly crushing ice crystals and then pausing for a while.
They didn't stop until they had traveled to every part of Fallen God Abyss and collected all the ice crystals, which was several days later.
Since the fog had been cleared, they had planned how long it would take. During the operation, they encountered some fools who wouldn't listen to advice, and there were quite a few of them. Liu Jun didn't want to deal with them. He killed anyone who got close and ignored the rest.
People who come here only have two paths: to seek death or to live a wretched life. If someone wants to die, she can't stop them.
The snow-like powder emitted by the ice crystals can not only devour resentment, but also cause sudden death if humans inhale too much of it. However, it does not last long. Once the resentment contained in that space is eliminated, it will automatically fall back to the ground.
Once it lands, it's essentially dead, so it naturally won't affect humans. There are advantages and disadvantages to that.
Once the resentment has been completely consumed by the powder, it will be the turn of the malevolent energy.
The evil energy is the most difficult to remove, and there is no special external object that can be used to remove it. It is simply a matter of burning spiritual power to capture the evil energy that is running around and then concentrating and destroying it.
Unlike resentment, which lingers in the air and has little mobility, evil energy is like wisps of wind, semi-transparent and constantly moving around. It is not as clear and easy to capture as clouds and fog, and one must always be wary of the danger of being possessed by it.
Liu Jun had made preparations in advance; he had also selected containers to hold the evil energy, choosing them from the treasures he had accumulated.
"Little snake, time to get to work!"
With a shake of the spirit beast pouch, a snake was thrown out.
"Holy crap, are you trying to kill me?! This bag is so uncomfortable, when am I going to go back into the ring?!"
"Alright, stop complaining and get to work. You can go home once you're done."
"Honestly, all they do is order me around all day long... Holy crap, where am I? Why are there so many bad things here?!" The snake turned its head and was startled by the scene in front of it.
"How come this place is so much worse than where I used to live? What kind of hellhole is this?"
"The forbidden area of Xuanshan Gate, the Fallen God Abyss."
"Wow, it's a forbidden area. No wonder."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Liu Jun immediately cast a heart-protecting spell on the little snake and said, "This is a heart-protecting spell to prevent you from being possessed by those things. I need your cooperation to get rid of those bad things, otherwise the restrictions here won't last more than a few years."
The little snake raised its head arrogantly and asked, "Alright, then will I get paid?"
Liu Jun was speechless: "Isn't it already a reward that I allowed you into the ring?"
"Tch, so stingy..."
Although the little snake was still muttering and grumbling, it started moving, instantly growing to several meters in size and flying into the air to chase away "people".
Collecting the evil energy was no easy task. Liu Jun and his snake worked for countless days before they managed to collect half of it. It took them another two or three months to collect it all. By then, the sacrificial activities outside had long since ended, and the magic arrays and restrictions had been reinforced.
The evil energy of Luoshen Abyss had only been collected and not yet refined. Since Liu Jun couldn't take the container out, she started refining it on the spot after collecting the evil energy. As for the little snake, she left it outside as a protector for her.
……
(Do you want to know about your background? Come on, I can tell you, hehehehehehe~)
(Let me go, and I'll tell you about your background, okay?)
(Let me leave, and I'll give you everything in the world, so you can become the strongest person~)
A voice, neither male nor female yet incredibly seductive, kept echoing in her ears, as if it were the person who understood her best in the world.
As long as it is released, everything will be there. The Nine Nether Glazed Fire that Liu Jun used to refine it never went out.
The malevolent energy generated by hundreds or thousands of people is the maximum manifestation of all greed, anger, and ignorance. This is the last and most difficult part of refining malevolent energy.
Liu Jun knew it wouldn't be easy, and the only thing he could do was to stay true to himself and not be swayed by any of its words.
But in that brief moment of mental blankness, Liu Jun realized that she had been careless.
