Purgatory Artist-Chapter 436: Who else can I be!

A blood-colored skeleton stood in the darkness.

— — Liu Ping.

He had put on the [Nightmare Embrace] and had turned into a skeleton. His entire body was made of blood-colored bones, no longer resembling a human's.

The darkness was vast.

The sense of danger was slowly fading away, but it still lingered in his mind.

Through the wall of flesh — — -

Liu Ping could still sense the commotion outside.

Something extremely dangerous must have arrived outside this' tree 'made from a human's body.

It's looking for me!

Liu Ping — — or rather, the blood-colored skeleton began to walk deeper into the darkness.

After a few dozen breaths' worth of time.

The blood-colored skeleton suddenly stopped and looked down.

— — -there was no path below.

The place I'm standing on seems to be a cliff.

In the darkness outside the cliff, the fog was flowing at an extremely fast speed, like a vast river that obscured everything.

Boundless, chaotic, and tyrannical power whizzed through the mist, striking fear into the hearts of those who saw it.

A few lines of burning text appeared:

[Attention!]

[This is a secluded place, all powers are prohibited]

[You must obtain some sort of recognition before you can continue to explore and have a chance to use your own powers]

All the text faded away.

The blood-colored skeleton seemed to have sensed something and slowly turned around to look at a wall not too far away.

The wall began to move.

A woman squeezed out from the wall made from human bodies, holding a burning torch as she silently looked at the skeleton.

Her face was covered in blood, her expression ferocious, but she raised the torch in her hand high up.

Within the range of the torch's light, the fog had completely disappeared.

— — -this torch is the key to passing through the cliff!

The blood-colored skeleton walked forward stopping in front of the woman "Please lend me your torch"

The woman didn't move, but tears of blood flowed from her eyes.

Drip, drip.

Tears of blood continued to flow, but the torch continued to burn.

The woman held the torch close to her chest, her gaze still locked onto Liu Ping, the ferocious expression on her face becoming even more vivid.

In the darkness, within the range of the torch's light, the humans on the wall all turned around and stared at the blood-colored skeleton.

The blood-colored skeleton looked around and muttered: "Vengeful spirit ... no, more advanced than a vengeful spirit ..."

He took a few more steps forward and lightly hugged the woman.

A pleasant and gentle voice rang out.

"Listen up, I am Liu Ping, the master of the Demonic Path in the human world. Although I don't know what you have experienced, don't worry. As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely help you. I have no regrets."

The woman said in a hoarse voice, "Really ..."

The bloody skeleton said, "I'm proficient in the art of life and death, I can tell with a single glance that you must have gone through a lot of suffering and grievances. Even after death, you still need to use your bodies to construct this tree. You must have something that you must complete."

The woman choked with sobs. "Humans ... humans ... have no path to walk ..."

Under the illumination of the fire, the entire world turned silent.

Countless gazes gathered on the wall, all of them focused on the woman.

Everyone looked at the crying woman in silence.

The blood-colored skeleton hugged the woman tightly, and its voice became even gentler. "It's okay. I came this time to find a path. I hope you can give me this chance."

"Your ... final soul ..." The woman looked at him and said.

"That's right, I seem to have died countless times already. This is my final reincarnation, but what does that matter? Someone has to find a way — —"

The bloody skeleton lightly stroked the woman's hair and muttered: "When it comes to death, who else can it be but me"

The woman's ferocious expression disappeared.

She wiped the tears of blood from the corner of her eyes, reached her hand out, and lightly stroked the bloody skeleton's skull, then pressed her finger against the skeleton's brow bone.

The skeleton didn't move and simply hugged her.

Everyone on the wall stared at the woman, as if waiting with bated breaths.

Suddenly.

The woman let go.

She raised the torch up high and loudly called out to the countless people on the wall:

"He came for the endless secrets, to win against all the monsters that want to consume our souls and enslave us. Everyone, please come and help him!"

Her voice spread far and wide in the darkness without an end.

The woman put the torch in the bloody skeleton's hand and muttered:

"Go ... we ... will help you ..."

The bloody skeleton received the torch from her hand, then hugged her tightly before heading towards the cliff.

The torch's light radiated from his hand, illuminating the surroundings and breaking through the fog to see what was beyond the cliff.

— — -a river of blood that flowed endlessly.

An incomparably violent power radiated from the river of blood, causing even the void of space to distort.

Various Laws were being created and destroyed within the river, giving rise to an unparalleled power.

" Sealing all powers, this isn't going to be easy ... "

Just as the blood-colored skeleton was thinking, it saw countless humans on the wall begin to move.

They climbed on top of each other to form a long floating bridge that stretched from the edge of the cliff all the way to the bottom of the river of blood.

The power within the river of blood became increasingly violent, to the point that the humans were moaning and screaming in pain, as if they were enduring indescribable pain.

Near the blood-red skeleton, someone said, "Don't worry.

"Come, walk over our bodies"

The bloody skeleton clasped its fist " Thank you "

"No need to thank me, you're not doing this for yourself, you're doing this for everyone " the person replied.

The bloody skeleton didn't bother to be polite.

It jumped onto the pillar and quickly ran forward.

Although he couldn't use any power, he could still maintain its basic running speed.

Under the torch's illumination, a crimson figure moved as fast as lightning on the floating bridge made of human bodies.

It was running at full speed towards the end of the river of blood.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The only thing that could be heard in this world was the endless moans of pain.

Finally — — -

The bloody skeleton leaped up from the end of the floating bridge with all his might.

Doong!

He fell into another patch of darkness.

The light of the torch once again illuminated the surroundings.

It was a square-shaped arena.

— — A ring was hidden deep within the boundless sea of blood!

The bloody skeleton raised the torch even higher and looked around, then saw the pillar at the very center of the ring.

The entire pillar was carved with intricate patterns, and as the light of the torch illuminated it, the patterns seemed to come alive.

A dignified presence exuded from the thin pillar.

Liu Ping's expression suddenly changed.

Countless scenes of the past quickly flashed through his mind.

"I remember now ..."

He muttered, walked in front of the pillar, and stuck the torch into it.

Kacha!

A soft sound was heard.

The torch was fixed into a hidden compartment on the pillar.

Lines of burning words instantly popped out.

[You've arrived at this place and begun to activate the deepest secret of this place]

[The secret of this place is related to everything of humanity, including the entire void, Purgatory, Eternal Night, and the Nightmare World]

[Without any measures to protect this secret, your soul will not be able to endure this profound secret]

[You will die because you learned of this secret]

From the void of space, countless entities seemed to be approaching from every direction — — -

Oong!

The Warden Blade let out a vibrating noise.

Liu Ping instantly felt a sense of being ignored — — -

As soon as the Warden Blade activated [Silence], those entities instantly ignored him.

The omen of death in his spirit sense also disappeared.

A few more breaths later.

The invisible entities seemed to not have noticed anything and returned to the void of space, disappearing without a trace.

Lines of burning words popped up one after another:

[Congratulations!]

[Your saber can suppress this secret]

[Everything is about to begin]

Liu Ping sensed something and immediately turned to the pillar.

Under the illumination of the torch, a black figure slowly emerged from the pillar.

It became clearer and clearer, slowly turning into the appearance of a human.

— — -this was an old man with white hair and beard.

His figure seemed to be an illusion, and his gaze wasn't focused on Liu Ping.

"Difficult!

Difficult!

Difficult!

To find a path that allows humanity to continue living with dignity is truly too difficult "

The old man looked straight ahead and spoke with a disappointed expression: "The world has fallen into complete darkness and despair, and our generation is helpless"

"Perhaps humanity will never be able to find a solution ..."

"Even if we do everything we can, we can only create a single chance to pass it down to the future humans"

"I hope someone will succeed"
