"Open the Gate of Destruction?" This was the first time Lu Sheng had heard of such a thing. It sounded as strange as God purging the world and destroying it. As for the Gate of the Devil World, it must be the Gate of Pollution. And the Gate of Pain could be the gate under the Golden Plaza.
He quickly thought about it and then smiled at the Shadow King, who looked very awkward.
"I hope what you said is true." He did not say anything else, and turned to rush into the distance. "I'll let you out after I confirm the authenticity of the information!"
"Eh!!??" King Shadow wanted to call out to him, but before she could make a sound, Lu Sheng's figure disappeared from sight.
…
Golden Plaza.
Lu Sheng jumped down from the cave entrance again, and landed lightly on the hard golden plaza.
The surroundings here were probably not made of pure gold. Pure gold was not very hard, but the gold here was very hard.
In the distance, the huge golden wheel that looked like a Ferris wheel turned slowly. The air around it was filled with a faint fragrance. It seemed to be some kind of unique fragrance.
The golden giant was gone, and the golden buildings seemed to have been replaced. It was completely different from the first time Lu Sheng had been here.
"This place …" Lu Sheng frowned, and looked at the spinning golden wheel. The wheel was faintly discernible in the clouds. It seemed to be very far away, and no rumbling could be heard.
Lu Sheng held his breath. He was not sure what this fragrance was worth, so he did not want to inhale too much.
He did not look at the wheel. Instead, he looked to the left, and his gaze extended along the ground. Soon, he found the tunnel entrance that he had discovered last time.
The golden floor that had been unraveled was still there, and the black hole that led underground was still there, untouched.
'This place is the same place, but this plaza … perhaps something has changed …' Lu Sheng's feet stopped, and his whole body floated up and landed at the tunnel entrance.
Without hesitation, he walked into the dark tunnel.
He walked along the tunnel for a dozen breaths. Soon, he saw the source of the River of Poisoned Fog, the ancient tree root door filled with Mental Energy.
He walked up, stretched out his hand, and pressed it against the surface of the door.
"Hiss …"
Strands of Mental Energy were absorbed into his body again.
"More than 50 Mental Energy units. Not bad." Lu Sheng quickly finished absorbing the Mental Energy. He pulled his hand back. He was very satisfied with what he had gained this time. It had only been a short while, and he had already gained 50 units of Mental Energy.
Puchi Puchi …
Suddenly, Lu Sheng heard something.
He looked left and right in confusion. The surroundings were filled with fog, and he didn't find any movement. The pitch-black tunnel was empty, and he was the only living person.
Not finding anything, he turned his head again and tried to peek through the crack in the door. He wanted to see what was so special about the Door of Pain that the Shadow King had mentioned.
However, he did not notice that a figure had silently emerged from the ground behind him.
It was a black and yellow monster with pupae all over his body.
The strange person seemed to be a male. His body was covered with hundreds of wounds of different sizes, and most of the fat pupae were hanging from each wound.
Even his face, eyes, and mouth had half a pupa wriggling. These pupae were dark yellow in color. Through the slightly glowing outer shell, one could see that they were filled with sticky and disgusting pus.
Slowly, a pair of huge black and yellow moth wings spread out from the strange person's back, blocking all possible escape routes. Fine powder from the moth spread out and filled every corner.
His hands slowly reached for Lu Sheng's neck from behind, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"I never turn my back to my enemy," Lu Sheng suddenly said, "but when my back is facing someone, it means that they're no threat."
The strange person's arms floated in midair, but he could not push them down no matter what.
"Boom!"
A huge force field exploded from his body. The strange person did not have time to react, and was smashed into the wall in the blink of an eye.
"Bam!"
The stone wall exploded, and countless rocks flew everywhere. The strange person's two-meter tall body sank deep into the wall, leaving only a human-shaped dent several meters deep.
Lu Sheng did not even raise his hand. He slowly turned around and looked at the hole in the stone wall.
An invisible force spread out, and easily pulled the strange person out of the hole. This was the power of the blood web. After inner Qi and Devil Aura combined, it had formed a web of inner Qi that could protect him at any time. This web was strong and powerful, and could even be controlled like an arm, and used as some kind of force field.
"Can you talk?" Lu Sheng looked at the strange person who was caught in midair.
This guy looked like a corpse that had been parasitized by moths. The wounds on his body were densely packed with moth pupae. Even on his back, there were two moth wings flapping.
"Kill … kill me …" The strange person twisted his body and roared. "Kill me …" This voice seemed to penetrate into the soul, and could be understood without any need for words.
Lu Sheng repeated the question several times, but only got one answer.
In his disappointment, he activated the blood web.
"Crack."
The moth monster's entire body was cut into hundreds of pieces of flesh of equal size. Even the pupae on his body were cut and killed.
"Do you want to enter the Gate of Pain?" A timid voice came from the side of the gate.
Lu Sheng frowned. It was strange that he did not notice this person's approach. His five senses were already at the limits of the human world, but he still could not sense this person.
What did this mean? This meant that this person might not be approaching him through his five senses.
He looked in the direction of the voice.
What he saw was a pale girl wearing a black coat and a black hood. Her face was exquisite, but there was no color in it. It was as if she had just recovered from a serious illness or lost too much blood.
The girl was only half his height, so she was looking up at him as she spoke.
"Who are you?" Lu Sheng asked calmly. "Can you take me into the Gate of Pain?" He remembered the demon clan member who crazily wanted to enter the Gate of Pain. There must be a secret that he did not know about.
"They call me Ansha," the girl answered with a sweet smile. "The way to enter the Gate of Pain is actually very simple. You just have to feel the pain and pass the test, and you can enter. "
"Feel the pain …?" Lu Sheng did not understand.
"The mothman was sent to help you feel the pain. Unfortunately, you killed him," the girl Ansha said with a smile. "When you feel the pain, you will realize that the Gate of Pain has never been closed …"
After speaking, her body slowly faded and disappeared, as if what had appeared here was just an illusion.
The girl Ansha disappeared. Lu Sheng stood where he was and did not chase after her. He fell into deep thought.
What did the Gate of Pain mean? According to King Shadow's description, the main goal of the Devil World was probably the Gate of Pain that connected to the human world. There must be some kind of secret hidden within, a secret that no one knew about.
"Feel the pain …" He had a bad feeling. Even when he faced the Devil Master's giant skeletal hand in the Gate of Flesh and Blood, he did not feel this bad.
After a moment of hesitation, he still could not make up his mind. Instead, he turned and walked back. There was no need for him to take risks now. As long as he progressed steadily, he would break through to the Devil Master level sooner or later.
"Are you leaving?" The girl suddenly appeared in the shadow behind him.
Lu Sheng turned to look at her. He smelled a twisted and destructive presence from the girl. He had only sensed this presence from that terrifying giant skeletal hand.
This girl might be hiding some extremely terrifying essence.
"If you can stay with me, I will be very happy," Ansha said with a smile.
"You seem to know a lot." Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, more than you think," Ansha answered honestly.
"Unfortunately … I have to leave. I have to leave this place," Lu Sheng answered calmly without changing his expression.
"Is it because of this square?" Ansha's eyes widened. Her eyes were charming, long, and crystalline. They flashed with a faint watery light.
"No … it has nothing to do with this place. I just want to leave. It's getting more and more chaotic out there, "Lu Sheng answered casually.
"Will you come and see me when you have the chance?" Ansha seemed to be very interested in Lu Sheng.
"I'm afraid it'll be very difficult." Lu Sheng shook his head.
"Really?" Ansha was a little disappointed. "You are the first person I've seen. The first person is a little strange. "
"Really? How long have you been here? "Lu Sheng asked casually.
"I can't remember … it's been a long time. Ever since I moved here, my memory of time has started to blur. There's no day or night here, no seasons, no sunlight, no rain … "Ansha said helplessly.
"Really?" Lu Sheng knew that this girl was not simple, but he still felt a little emotional. Even he would be mentally disturbed if he was locked up in such a dark place.
"I have one last request." Ansha's eyes widened. There was a hint of pleading in them. "Can you come closer and let me look at you?"
There was a lot of fog between them. It was a little hazy, and they could not see clearly.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Sure." He walked forward step by step. He only stopped when he was about ten meters away from the girl.
"You're so close …" Ansha looked at Lu Sheng in a daze. She lowered her head to look at the ground, then looked up at Lu Sheng. She repeated this action many times.
"Thank you …"
"No need."
"Thank you so much. You're the first person to do this." Ansha revealed a sincere and sunny smile.
"Thank you … no matter who you are."
Lu Sheng did not understand what she meant.
"Then, I'll be leaving."
"Okay." Ansha looked at him quietly. "Will we meet again?"
Lu Sheng was stunned.
"I think … no …"
"Soon," Ansha interrupted him. "Soon, we will meet again." She revealed a pure and perfect smile.
Lu Sheng had never seen anyone smile so pure. The moment he saw the smile, he felt like he was in a sea of sunflowers filled with sunlight.
It was warm and peaceful. He could not help but want to go forward and hug her.
Without saying anything else, Lu Sheng turned around and took a step forward. He disappeared into the corner of the tunnel in the blink of an eye.
