The Underworld Blood Lake was incredibly silent, and apart from the bubbling of the blood, there were no other sounds. This meant that this place was temporarily safe. Even if the collapse of the Fire Purgatory alerted the Underworld Gods outside, with the length of the passageway, it would take them quite some time to arrive … however, it was impossible for them to wait until Little Gray woke up. Looking at the blood lake in front of him, Ling Chen felt quite helpless. He could only walk around the edge of the Underworld Blood Lake as he stared at the Lunar Scourge's reaction. He started to pray that the orb was at the edge of the lake and not within the Underworld Blood Lake.
This blood lake, which had devoured the bodies and power of countless powerful Undead, definitely contained the densest deathly energy in the world. It was so dense that even the Undead would not be able to withstand it. As such, there shouldn't be any living creatures near it. However, after walking a few steps, Ling Chen suddenly looked at the edge of the blood lake in front of him. There was a small, dark-red leaf growing at a slanted angle. The leaf was very small, and if one didn't look closely, it would be difficult to notice it. It looked like a sprout that had just broken out of the ground.
It was impossible for a plant next to the Underworld Blood Lake to not attract Ling Chen's attention. He squatted down and looked at it.
[Newborn Psychic Flower]: A strange flower that grows at the edge of the Underworld Blood Lake at the bottom of the Underworld Blood Lake. In the darkness, it gives off a watery light. It doesn't have a fixed colour, and its colour changes according to the emotions of the living creature around it. If the living creature is in high spirits, it will appear warm, and if the living creature is in low spirits, it will appear cold. It seems to understand the emotions of living creatures. After consuming it, Comprehension permanently increases by 1. Even though its effects can't compare to a mature Psychic Flower, the effects can be stacked by eating it many times.
Ling Chen remembered that the second time he had met the Qian Gungun, he had spent a large amount of money to buy a Psychic Flower. After eating it, his Comprehension permanently increased by 3 points. Looking at this sprout, he remembered that the Psychic Flower's description said that it grew next to the Underworld Blood Lake. Furthermore, it could only grow at the edge of the Underworld Blood Lake.
However, the effects of the Psychic Flower could not be stacked. However, the effect of this newborn Psychic Flower specifically stated that it would not clash with a mature Psychic Flower. Without hesitation, Ling Chen plucked it and swallowed it. He had worked so hard to come here, and he probably wouldn't be able to come here a second time in his life. It would be a waste not to have such a harvest. Could it be that he had to wait for it to mature?
"Ding … You have consumed [Newborn Psychic Flower], Comprehension + 1."
After consuming it, the [Newborn Psychic Flower] took effect immediately. Ling Chen's Perception permanently increased by 1 point. In addition to the War God's Gift, his Perception now reached 30 points. At this moment, another notification suddenly rang in his ears.
"Ding … your Comprehension has reached 30, one of the 3 Forbidden Feng Chen Curses [Soulkilling Curse] has been unlocked."
This system announcement caused Ling Chen to feel quite surprised, and he quickly opened his skills page … the second Feng Chen Curse had suddenly been unlocked, giving Ling Chen a massive surprise. Every single Feng Chen Curse's effects were incredibly powerful, and the Forbidden Curses were simply too terrifying. The first Forbidden Curse he had unlocked [Soulstealing Curse] was the weakest of the 3 Forbidden Curses, but it caused Snow Cherry, who had been a powerful Moon Deities Emissary, to submit to him and become his most loyal mount. These effects were so powerful that even Ling Chen found it difficult to accept them. Xiao Feng Chen had told him that there were three Feng Chen Forbidden Curses: the [Soulstealing Curse], the [Soulkilling Curse], and the [Yama Curse]. They were all incredibly powerful, so how powerful would this new Feng Chen Forbidden Curse, which was even more terrifying than the [Soulstealing Curse], be …
[Soulkilling Curse]: One of the 3 Forbidden Feng Chen Curses, cannot be levelled up. Can be used on a single target within one's field of vision. Uses one's mental energy to forcefully cut off and destroy the target's connection to the target's soul, completely taking control of the target's soul. The target's soul will no longer belong to the caster, and it will be completely controlled by the caster. The caster can read all of the target's memories and control all of the target's thoughts and actions at any time, as well as tampering with the target's memories. Once successful, the effects are permanent. Once failed, the caster's Comprehension will permanently decrease by 30%, and they will enter a state of severe mental fatigue. Costs 12500 MP, can only be used once per day. Maximum number of uses in a lifetime is [Current Level/20] (rounded down). Number of uses remaining: 3/3.
Although he had heard some information about the [Soulkilling Curse] from Xiao Feng Chen, personally seeing its description, Ling Chen still lightly sucked in a breath of cold air.
The [Soulstealing Curse] was already incredibly terrifying. Once successful, no matter how powerful the target was or how high their status was, they would forever be loyal to the caster. However, at the very least, only the caster's mark would be left on the target's soul. The target's soul would still belong to the caster, and it would be complete. In comparison, the [Soulkilling Curse] was incredibly terrifying. This was because once the target was cursed, their soul would no longer belong to them. Their thoughts, actions, thoughts, eyes, expressions, voice … even memories would all be controlled by the caster, and they would become a puppet that only existed for the caster. Let alone resisting, even if they wanted to die, they wouldn't be able to do so without the caster's permission.
"Who would've thought that there would be such a terrifying Feng Chen Curse? This is simply intolerable!" Ling Chen looked at the description of the [Soulkilling Curse] over and over again, imagining what it would be like if he was the one affected by the [Soulkilling Curse] … his entire body trembled, and cold sweat flowed down his body.
After closing his stats page, Ling Chen sealed this forbidden Feng Chen Curse in his heart. This was because no matter how ferocious the target was, this Feng Chen Forbidden Curse was simply too cruel. It was even crueler than being sliced into pieces for three days, and it shouldn't even exist in this world. He was sure that he would never be able to use this skill in his lifetime.
In order to pick the [Newborn Psychic Flower], Ling Chen squatted at the edge of the Underworld Blood Lake. If he moved his right hand, he would be able to touch the Underworld Blood Lake's water. Looking at the terrifying Underworld Blood Lake water so close to him, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment before taking off his gauntlet and touching it with his finger …
Chi!!
-420000！
A searing pain came from his fingertip, causing Ling Chen to grimace in pain. He quickly pulled his hand back, and the damage was nullified by the Evil God's Mask's roar. A monstrous damage figure rose up from the Evil God's Mask.
This damage figure caused Ling Chen to feel incredibly shocked, and he hurriedly retreated a few steps, trying to get as far away from the Underworld Blood Lake as possible. The Underworld Blood Lake had melted the corpses and power of countless high-grade Undead, so the Undead energy contained within was definitely monstrous. However, Ling Chen had never thought that it would be so monstrous – just touching it with his finger had dealt 420000 damage. If he sank into it, he would be devoured in an instant, and not even his bones would be left.
Ling Chen took out a piece of Gold grade equipment that the Demon Skeleton Dragon had dropped and threw it into the Underworld Blood Lake. The instant it touched the Underworld Blood Lake, a 'chi' sounded out as the Gold grade equipment turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
Ling Chen's throat made a "gulp" sound, and he subconsciously took three steps back. The thing that had already made him depressed became even more depressed. If the orb was really in the pool, how was he supposed to find it and take it out … Was he really going to have to beg the Nether King? As for whether or not the orb would be corroded by the Underworld Blood Lake's water, he wasn't worried. Even though the Underworld Blood Lake's water was powerful, it couldn't compare to a heaven-defying item like the Lunar Scourge's Orb. Back then, even the level 3 Moon Deities were unable to damage these orbs, and they could only scatter them, making it impossible for them to return to the Lunar Scourge.
Frowning, Ling Chen continued to walk along the edge of the Underworld Blood Lake. After walking for a bit, he suddenly felt that something was missing, and he hurriedly turned around. However, he found that Leng 'Er wasn't by his side. When he looked up, he found that Leng' Er was standing where she had been, staring at the Underworld Blood Lake's water. She had walked so far, but she hadn't followed him.
"Leng 'Er!" Ling Chen immediately returned to Leng 'Er's side and looked at her in surprise. "What is it? Did you discover something strange? "
A hazy look appeared in Leng 'Er's jet-black eyes. From when Ling Chen had returned to her side to when he spoke to her, she hadn't reacted at all. She didn't even hug the doll in her arms as tightly, and she continued to stare at the center of the Underworld Blood Lake. Only after Ling Chen finished speaking did she finally respond. Her lips lightly moved as she said in a light voice, "What a familiar feeling … I've never been here with master before … why does it feel so familiar …"
"Familiar?" Ling Chen stared in surprise. "You feel like you've been here before?"
"Mm …" Leng 'Er nodded.
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and thought for a while before smiling as he said, "Perhaps Leng 'Er really did come here a long time ago, which is why she felt a sense of familiarity when she saw this place. Perhaps she'll remember all of the things that she had forgotten."
Leng 'Er didn't reply, and she continued to stare at the Underworld Blood Lake. It was unknown what she was thinking.
"Let's go, let's go in and see more places. Perhaps Leng 'Er will remember something."
After Ling Chen finished speaking, Leng 'Er still didn't look at him. Just as Ling Chen was about to pull her hand, he saw her body suddenly float up towards the Underworld Blood Lake.
"Leng 'Er, where are you going … don't go to the surface of the lake, it's too dangerous!"
Ling Chen yelled as he rushed in front of Leng 'Er. At this moment, they were in the air above the Underworld Blood Lake, and below them was the sparkling blood-red water.
After being blocked by Ling Chen, Leng 'Er didn't continue forward. Instead, she suddenly descended. To Ling Chen's surprise, she descended until her toes were almost touching the surface of the lake. She bent down and touched the blood-red water with her fingers.
"Don't touch!!" Ling Chen turned pale with fright and hurriedly descended to grab Leng 'Er's hand. However, he was still a step too late. By the time he grabbed Leng' Er's hand, her fingers had already entered the Underworld Blood Lake, causing his pupils to dilate.
