Chapter 9: Ten Thousand Ghost Devouring Heart
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiao Han logged into the game and circulated the Heavenly Demon Art once. The internal cultivation technique had to be circulated once a day. One had to be diligent. Only by cultivating the martial arts technique once a day could one cultivate to a higher realm.
After circulating the Heavenly Demon Art once, Xiao Han realized that his internal energy had suddenly increased a lot. It was originally 80 points, but it had increased to 90 points. His attack power had also increased from 17 to 18. He did not expect the Heavenly Demon Art to have such an effect. It seemed that internal energy was also related to the cultivation time of the Heavenly Demon Art.
Xiao Han circulated his internal energy again and realized that it was no longer very effective. It seemed that this Heavenly Demon Art could only be circulated once a day. With a regretful mood, Xiao Han walked deeper into the forest.
[System: You have discovered the Immortal Interception Ruins.]
Xiao Han felt a little strange and continued to walk forward. A huge ruin appeared in front of him. It stretched for more than a hundred miles. Stone pillars that were dozens of meters tall suddenly stood in the ruin, as if indicating its former magnificence. Marble-paved roads led to the interior of the ruin. The surrounding shops still maintained their original appearance, but most of them were already broken.
Xiao Han kept walking in and looked around curiously, not knowing what was in the ruins.
Ga ga! A strange sound rang out. Xiao Han followed the sound and saw a white skeleton walk out of the alley. It was a level 7 monster, and its level was not much higher than his. It could be dealt with, and Xiao Han was relieved. However, what happened next made his heart jump again. Ever since the white skeleton saw him, countless skeletons rushed out from the side of the street and surrounded him. The way back was blocked.
Fortunately, the skeletons weren't moving very fast, so Xiao Han could only run inside. The skeletons swarmed toward him like a tide. There were at least hundreds of them, and their numbers kept increasing.
[You have entered the Immortal Interception Ruins. Do you accept the mission: Immortal Interception Seal? If you complete the mission, you will obtain the inheritance of Immortal Interception. If you fail, five levels will be deducted.]
Xiao Han could not make a decision for a moment. He smiled bitterly. This punishment was too terrifying. If he failed, it would mean that he would return to Level 0. He was a little unwilling. If he did not accept it, he would definitely drop this level. There were still so many skeletons chasing after him. He did not know what this Immortal Interception Inheritance was. Looking at the failure punishment, he knew that the reward should not be too bad.
Xiao Han steeled his heart and accepted the mission. At most, he would start all over again. It had only been less than a day since he had reached Level 5. He was barefoot and was not afraid of anything.
The scene suddenly changed. The skeletons behind him had all disappeared. Xiao Han appeared in a beautiful paradise. The seven-colored flowing light was beautiful. The green trees and bluestones made people feel like they were in a dream.
[You have entered the Immortal Interception Illusory Realm and will receive the first stage of the Immortal Interception Seal Quest: Exploring the Immortal Interception Illusory Realm.]
Xiao Han looked around, somewhat bewildered. He took a step forward, but did not step on solid ground. It was as if he was floating in the air. Only then did Xiao Han confirm that the beautiful scenery was just an illusion.
When Xiao Han took the first step, the surroundings suddenly darkened. It was so gloomy that it made people feel fear. The cold wind roared angrily, and the dense ghost aura made one's hair stand on end. Suddenly, a terrifying evil spirit pounced over from the front. Xiao Han was shocked and instantly cast the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force. When the two came into contact, the Heavenly Demonic Hidden Force did not cause much damage as the evil spirit did not seem to have a physical body.
The evil spirit pounced in front of Xiao Han. Xiao Han hurriedly used his hand to block it. He didn't manage to block it, and the evil spirit passed through his body.
"So it's an illusion." Since it was an illusion, Xiao Han felt that there was nothing to be afraid of. He took another step forward, as if he had suddenly stepped into the Youluo Ghost Domain. Countless evil spirits circled around him.
Even Xiao Han couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Those evil spirits had a green face and sharp fangs. They were indescribably terrifying. If it was an ordinary person with a weak mental fortitude, they would probably faint from fear. Fortunately, Xiao Han wasn't afraid of these things. He had killed to the point where even ghosts were afraid of him. How could he be afraid of ghosts? Xiao Han laughed self-deprecatingly. There was an indescribable loneliness in his voice. It was as if his hands were sticky with countless drops of blood, and the one with the green face and sharp teeth was himself.
As he walked, a large door appeared in front of him. It was dark and gloomy, and there were four large red words above the door, bright like fresh blood. It was like Hell. Xiao Han suddenly felt a sense of despair and sorrow in his heart. A person like him would definitely be sent to such a place after death. It wasn't a bad idea to go and take a look now. Xiao Han walked in without hesitation.
He didn't expect that he would have to pass through eighteen spaces. Every space was filled with all kinds of hellish punishments, such as tongue pulling, sawing, knife mountain, and frying pan. Every level was too horrible to look at. Even though Xiao Han had made ample preparations before entering, he still couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
If anyone could walk through the eighteen levels of hell with their eyes open, they would either be a hero with a clear conscience, a hero who stood tall and upright, or a demon who slaughtered millions of people without batting an eyelid. Xiao Han thought for a moment and felt that he should belong to the latter. He had indeed not blinked when he killed people. If he had blinked when he killed people, he might not have been able to live until now.
After walking through the entire hell, Xiao Han's heart was calm. It didn't matter even if he had to go through all eighteen levels of hell. A heroic spirit immediately rose in his heart.
[You have completed the first stage of the Immortal Interception Seal Quest. Reward: Ten Thousand Ghost Devouring Heart.]
Xiao Han was surprised. At first, he thought that the skills were only given by the system. He didn't expect to obtain skills by doing missions here. After thinking about it, it made sense. The system didn't give him many skills. Although there were thousands of martial arts books and skills, the skills used by everyone were very limited. There might be many ways to obtain skills. When Xiao Han thought of this, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Xiao Han looked at the skill he had obtained.
[Ten Thousand Ghost Devouring Heart: Summons evil spirits to attack the enemy. 100% magic damage. 300% damage to red names. Has a certain speed reduction effect. 5 seconds buffer time, 3 seconds preparation time.]
Ten Thousand Ghost Devouring Heart. Xiao Han repeated the name of this skill. If he remembered correctly, the ultimate skill of a Level 50 Dark Wizard was called Ten Thousand Demon Soul Devourer. He wondered if these two skills were related.
