Ning Qi held his breath. He could feel that his cultivation base was restricted by the spider silk on his body.
If this spider with eighteen beautiful women's heads discovered that he had woken up, he would probably fall into the illusion again!
The pair of trembling eyes gradually calmed down, but they did not open in the end.
Ning Qi waited for a few breaths before calling out softly in his heart, "System."
"The Netherworld Spider Mother is devouring the Host's essence and soul."
The system notification sounded.
"How long has it been?"
Ning Qi asked in his heart.
"One hundred and thirty years."
The system notification sounded again.
One hundred and thirty years?
Ning Qi's expression became extremely strange. It seemed like only a few months had passed in the illusion. He did not expect that one hundred and thirty years had passed in the outside world.
"I haven't returned for such a long time. I wonder what's the situation in Shenluo World. Has the Great Worlds that Heavenly Star God King mentioned already invaded …
"And that illusion … Could it be that the last scene was what I experienced in real life? Is there really a Shentang in this world? Is there really a Purple Mansion … "
Many questions arose in Ning Qi's heart.
However, the most important thing now was to find a way to leave this place. In just a short time, Ning Qi felt that his cultivation base had dropped by a few percent.
This meant that if he continued to stay in the illusion for another year or so, he might die silently like the group of corpses around him and be trapped here forever!
"System, is there any way to leave this place?"
Ning Qi asked in his heart.
"The Netherworld Spider Mother has been guarding this place since the beginning of this world. Its cultivation base is much higher than the host's, so there is no way to leave for now."
The system notification sounded.
Guarding this place since the beginning of this world?
Wouldn't that mean that it was stronger than those Divine Masters?
Ning Qi's eyes flashed with shock.
Who knew how many Divine Masters there had been? At least one Divine Master that he knew had fallen. Otherwise, the group of Divine Kings would not have …
Thinking up to there, Ning Qi glanced at the corpses in the surroundings, and his face became extremely strange. Were these people the Godkings of the same generation as the silver dragon?
"Even the Divine Kings have turned into corpses. I'm just a Godly Venerable …"
Ning Qi's heart skipped a beat as he thought of an extremely terrifying guess.
"The System said that the Netherworld Spider Mother is guarding this place. What is it guarding? Why did those Divine Masters step into the starry sky when they reached the ninth step? Those Divine Masters disappeared without a trace in the past. Don't tell me they are also … here? "
Ning Qi's gaze swept across the dark temple hall, sweeping across the dried corpses that were wrapped into cocoons.
"One, two, three …"
"301, 302 …"
The more Ning Qi counted, the more alarmed he became. At his realm, there were many things that could no longer make his heart flutter.
But this time, he was truly shocked.
Those who could make it there were at least Ultimate Gods, and there was a high chance that these mummies were Divine Kings!
"Four hundred and ninety …"
Ning Qi's eyes gradually condensed into needles.
490 corpses. If these corpses were all Godly Monarchs when they were alive, then it was unknown how many generations of Godly Monarchs were among them!
It was possible that the Godly Kings from the Great Worlds that Heavenly Star God King had mentioned had also come here before.
However, Ning Qi did not believe that the Shenluo World could produce so many Godly Monarchs!
"This Netherworld Spider Mother can even devour Godly Monarchs. How can I escape from this place …"
Ning Qi frowned slightly. Suddenly, he thought of something.
The reason why he was able to escape from the illusion was that he had obtained the strange Buddhist bead in the illusion. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the things in the illusion to affect reality, unless it was …
Ning Qi slowly closed his eyes and looked inside his sea of consciousness. As expected, he saw a golden Buddha bead floating in his sea of consciousness.
The appearance of the Buddha bead was very different from the illusion. It emitted golden light and dyed the entire sea of consciousness gold.
Apart from that, there seemed to be tens of thousands of Buddhas in the Buddha bead. Buddhas were sitting on lotuses and chanting constantly.
Ning Qi stared at the Buddha bead quietly.
He did not know when it entered his sea of consciousness. Before entering this giant city, Ning Qi was sure that he had never seen this Buddha bead.
There were two possibilities. First, the Buddha bead came from this giant city.
The other possibility was that this Buddha bead had always been in his sea of consciousness. It was just that Ning Qi did not have the opportunity to activate it, so he could not discover it.
This time, when Ning Qi was captured by the Netherworld Spider Mother, the Buddha might have sensed that he was in danger, so it appeared!
After thinking about it, the second possibility was the most likely.
"Since the Buddha bead could wake me up from the illusion, and even the Netherworld Spider Mother could not detect it, its power is probably far beyond my imagination. It might be able to help me leave this place! If I continue to be absorbed, I will become a dried corpse! "
Thinking up to this point, the Buddha bead seemed to have sensed Ning Qi's thoughts. The faint chanting inside grew louder and the golden light it emitted became hotter.
In the outside world, Ning Qi, who was trapped in the spider silk, gradually split open between his eyebrows. A golden Buddha bead slowly appeared.
Ning Qi abruptly opened his eyes, revealing a look of shock. He noticed that the spider silk, which had been absorbing his strength, was actually continuously sending power back into his body!
Soon, the white spider silk was even dyed with a layer of golden light, and the power it was sending back to Ning Qi was getting stronger.
The power that had been absorbed for the past 130 years was not only replenished in the blink of an eye, but it was also rushing towards a higher direction!
"What's going on?"
Ning Qi was bewildered.
Would the Netherworld Spider Mother wake up because of this?
He was a little anxious and quickly looked at the Netherworld Spider Mother, looking at its 18 beautiful heads.
The Netherworld Spider Mother was still in a deep sleep and showed no signs of waking up. It seemed to still think that it was absorbing Ning Qi's cultivation base.
It did not realize that not only did it return the cultivation base it had extracted to Ning Qi, it even sent the cultivation base of those existences it had extracted into Ning Qi's body bit by bit.
Those existences were either Divine Kings or Ultimate Gods. The power in their bodies was so majestic that Ning Qi almost could not withstand just a little bit of it.
However, just when Ning Qi felt that his body was about to explode and die, the Buddha bead between his eyebrows suddenly emitted a wave of power, instantly allowing the external power to perfectly merge with Ning Qi's body.
Ning Qi's cultivation base was skyrocketing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"…"
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully advancing to a Three Tribulation Ultimate God! "
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully advancing to a Four Tribulation Ultimate God! "
"Ding! Congratulations, Host … "
The system's beeps kept ringing, and Ning Qi also felt that his strength was countless times stronger than before!
The last notification, in particular, shocked Ning Qi.
