There was nothing but darkness in front of them.
Suddenly, Wardell tossed the oil lamp in his hand into the air.
The oil lamp finally landed in the center of a small mountain of white bones. Through the dim yellow light, one could vaguely see a tall throne not far away.
So this is the Land of Darkness? A pile of skeletons and a broken throne?
Wardell tapped the air with his bone scepter, and a gust of cold wind blew the flame of the lamp away.
The flames swept across the sky, burning a hole in the darkness.
As the light faded away, Angor saw the silhouettes of man-made structures in the darkness.
Just as he was puzzled, the seemingly flickering dim fire suddenly shone brightly. It was like a sun, illuminating the darkness of a region!
The light chased away the deep darkness, and what appeared in front of them was a magnificent city that made everyone jump in shock!
The style of this city was similar to some of the towns he had seen outside, but the buildings here were not dilapidated. Layers upon layers of tall buildings were densely arranged. The streets were very narrow, but the floor tiles were very flat. Every street was lined with lifelike statues. The carvings on the details were also matched with various colors. There were also primitive towers and tall walls that seemed to be connected to the darkness in the distance!
The city was piled with white bones! Countless undead souls were moving between the tall buildings!
But this was not the "magnificent" part. What shocked Angor the most was the sky above the city!
Floating in the air was a magnificent and gigantic door made of white bones!
It was at least 50 meters tall.
The door was tightly shut, and there were all kinds of mysterious carvings on it. On the door frame, there were piles of bones of different shapes and sizes.
From afar, things were falling down from the door frame. Taking a closer look, it was the white bones that were clinging to the pillars of the gate. It was as if it was snowing, falling down one after another! The white bones looked like snow in the middle of winter!
One of the bones fell not far from them. It was the skeleton of an Abyssal Crocodile. After landing, the Abyssal Crocodile's white eye sockets glowed with a chilling red light.
It glared at Angor's group with hatred.
However, when the Abyssal Crocodile saw Wardell, it stopped moving. Instead, it turned around and leaped into the air, disappearing into the dark side of the city.
"The Tung Continent just recovered from its destruction, so this door that lost its function is now anchored to various space coordinates again. Because of this, it caused some vibrations and caused the bones hanging on it to fall down, "Wardell explained.
While Angor was still in awe of the magnificent undead city and the terrifying bone gate, Gregory suddenly thought of something and pointed at the floating gate. "Is that a phase gate?"
A phase gate? Angor looked at Wardell in surprise.
Wardell nodded. "That's right. As expected of a demon noble — the descendant of the Fire Mark Demon. You're very knowledgeable."
Gregory, who was still in a daze, was surprised by the sudden compliment. He blushed and said, "I'm not a Fire Mark Demon yet, so I won't be happy if you compliment me now."
Angor did not pay attention to Gregory's joyful expression. Instead, he looked at the gate in the sky with glowing eyes.
It was the Phase Gate that Wardell recognized!
Fafnir once told him that the Abyss Plane had many different Phase Planes. Similar to the four realms of the wizarding world, each Phase Plane had extremely long space-time distances. If one wanted to go to another Phase Plane, they had to go through a Phase Gate!
A Phase Gate was an extremely important transportation hub that couldn't be easily controlled by an ordinary demon.
Generally speaking, Phase Gates were guarded by demon lords. Usually, only demon lords who were as powerful as demon gods, or lords with powerful backgrounds could control a Phase Gate.
According to Angor's estimation, he wouldn't be able to touch a Phase Gate in the near future.
But what he didn't expect was that there was actually one here!
Could it be that Wardle's identity is … a demon lord?
Angor suddenly remembered that Wardell didn't tell him his true identity. This was Frigid Ruins, so Angor assumed that Wardell was a local. Maybe he was a demon?
Wardell noticed Angor's confusion and explained, "I used to be a local of the Abyss Plane.
"The initial creation of the Phase Door was actually created by the Abyss Demon Eye, which inherited the will of the Abyss. The first few doors were given to the few overlords of the Abyss at the time. At that time, the other Phase Planes were monopolized by these few overlords. Later on, some powerful Demon Gods were able to create Phase Doors, and this slowly became common … Although it's common, there aren't many of them. A Phase Plane doesn't have more than ten doors. "
"This Phase Gate is called Skeleton. It was created by the Abyss Demon Eye and given to the king of the local Abyss Plane — Kansamovich. This is the first Ancient Cold Emperor. His strength is almost on par with the most powerful Demon Lords. "
"Kansamovich set up the Skeletal Door in a stronghold in the inner layer of the Abyss. However, as the Ancient Cold Era gradually came to an end, Kansamovich brought the door to the Yuantan Continent before he died. In the end, it remained in the Land of Darkness."
"Because of this door, many prying and coveting gazes came in droves with greed and evil intentions. Because of this, many battles broke out, causing countless natives to be forced to leave Yuantan Continent. It wasn't until a demon god created a new Phase Gate that the Abyss Plane slowly became peaceful again. "
Angor nodded. "So you're saying this is a phase gate that only belongs to the natives?"
"Yes."
"So I have to go through a Phase Gate to leave this place?"
"If you want to go to another Phase Plane, I can use a Phase Gate to send you away. However, the Abyss Plane is recovering, and the space energy is also stabilizing. It might take some time for the Phase Gate to relocate its coordinates. "
Angor had considered going to other Phase Planes before. He could use this chance to visit other wizarding worlds.
For example, the Western Continent, the Eastern Border, and the Northern Territory.
According to Angor, other wizarding worlds had a chance to reach the Origin World.
The Origin World had the most powerful forces in the wizarding world, and it was a place that every wizard wanted to visit. Unfortunately, the passage to the Origin World in the southern wizarding region had been destroyed by someone. Therefore, all legendary wizards in the southern wizarding region had to leave in the end because there was no way to reach the Origin World.
Angor wanted to visit other wizarding worlds as well as the Origin World, but now was not the time to leave the southern wizarding region.
Jon's condition was still unstable, and he couldn't leave Toby's curse. Even if Angor could use his "Forcefield" to cover up the Curse of Disaster, it didn't mean he was free. He still needed to go to Ice Valley and ask Oderklas for help.
More importantly, his journey in the Abyss Plane had taught him the importance of strength. He didn't want to go to any dangerous places before he reached a stable level.
Going to another Phase Plane through a Phase Gate would lead him to another Abyss Plane. He heard that the Barren Plane was the weakest Phase Plane in the Abyss Plane. If he went to a more powerful Abyss Plane, he wouldn't be able to protect himself. How could he find a way to another Abyss Plane?
Angor considered. "I don't want to go to another Phase Plane for now. Can I go to the Frozen Ruins from here? The area on the surface of the Abyss Plane. "
The Frozen Ruins were very close to Ice Valley. Even without using the sequence of gravity, it would only take him half a day to get there by Gondola.
It would be best if he could go directly to the Frozen Ruins from Yuantan Continent.
If the Frozen Ruins from the outside world could reach Yuantan Continent, there must be a way to leave this place.
"You want to go to Moliere's Land? That place is indeed mistaken for the Ancient Cold Ruins in the outside world. "Wardell had a look of understanding.
"Can I?"
Wardell considered. "It's not a problem. This place is connected to Moliere's Land anyway. But we'll have to wait for Golm to wake up first. "
"What's Golm?"
"A guardian beast of the Death Plane. It's a servant of the Queen of Abyss."
Wardell's explanation gave Angor a general idea about Golm. It was a hellhound sleeping in the Frozen Citadel.
Hellhounds weren't rare, but their master was a terrifying existence.
The Queen of Abyss was a powerful Ancient who controlled the Dark Death Prison. Even Krando was her servant. Golm followed the Queen of Abyss for many years, and he was as strong as a half-legendary.
However, two thousand years ago, Golm was sent by the Queen of Abyss to carry out a secret mission and was severely injured when he returned.
Thus, Kurando brought Grim to the Yuantan Continent, borrowing the power of darkness here to rest and recuperate.
The place Golm chose to rest was the entrance to Moliere's Land.
"So, you're saying that Golm blocked the passage? We have to wait for it to wake up? "
Wardell nodded.
"But I remember people coming to Yuantan Continent from time to time. Why is that?" Angor frowned as he thought about Gucia's face.
"Golm is the agent of death. It wakes up quite often, but only for a short moment. Whenever it wakes up, it will release the will of death. Anyone who falls into Yuantan Continent from the outside is usually unlucky enough to be affected by the will of death. "
