Chapter 521 - 78: Ancient Palace
At the same time.
In a certain place within the Inner Earth World, a swift figure was skimming above the magma layer as the boiling magma surged out with Death Worms, and at the magma rift, hundreds of Pillars of Flesh and Blood burst out of their shells, extending root-like tendrils hundreds of meters long, relentlessly pursuing the shadow of the Ugly Monkey.
"Who is using a Prophetic Spell on me?"
The figure of the Ugly Monkey directly vanished into the Shadow, appearing in the Inner Earth World of the Shadow Plane. He stood momentarily on a black magma lake, a divine glint flashing through his eyes as he murmured, "So it’s you!..."
At that moment, Shawn also saw the other party.
Shawn’s expression was quite shocked and incredulous, "Have you already reached the limit of a mortal?"
—Ugly Monkey [Level 10 Wanderer] [Level 10 Shadow Dancer] [Level 10 Deceitful Assassin] [Level 6 Master of Shadows] (Challenge Level 35+)?!
The Ice Death in the Ugly Monkey’s hand flashed with a cold gleam, disappearing directly into the darkness. He casually slew a monster in the Shadow Plane, his figure flashing continuously within the shadows, nodding, "Recently killed quite a few Pillars of Flesh and Blood, already close to a mortal’s bottleneck."
"It’s been a long time since encountering so many Legendary level hunting targets."
It is the Law Power of the Child of Slaughter.
Shawn hadn’t seen him for just one or two months, and the Ugly Monkey was already close to fully ascending the Professional Level of the Shadow Path.
This guy is more ruthless and aggressive than anyone else.
The Butcher needs cooperation with other Legendary Powerhouses to hunt in the Inner Earth World, whereas he has ventured alone into the Inner Earth World for nearly one or two months without coming out.
The Ugly Monkey’s expression was somewhat strange, puzzling, "You haven’t entered the Inner Earth World yet?"
"The Child of Slaughter’s talent, in the late stages of advancement, only by slaughtering Legendary enemies can enough Power of Soul be plundered."
"The Bizarre Realm has the most Legendary enemies in the Inner Earth World!"
Shawn’s expression instantly changed, his mind whispered, "Give me a Teleportation Waypoint."
Next second.
A Gate of Space tore open in the shadow, Shawn’s figure stepped out from it, gazing at the Ugly Monkey before him, "Can the Child of Slaughter ascend without regard to Law restrictions?"
The Ugly Monkey nodded in confusion, "Of course, you did not always know?"
"We have no bottleneck."
"The only restriction is the Extraordinary Level 40 cap, and under certain circumstances, we can even break this limit."
The Ugly Monkey seemed to recall something, pondering, "You practice both Arcane Magic and Mind Path."
"If you followed a pure Arcanist path."
"Just by continuously killing enemies, you could elevate to Level 40 Arcanist."
"This place is good."
"The Crystal Wall System I used to live in doesn’t have so many Legendary monsters gathered together."
The Ugly Monkey opened a space bag, revealing his spoils within, thousands of blood-side Extraordinary Relics, which he casually threw over, "These are useless to me."
"You should find them useful."
Shawn reached out to catch them, his expression solemn, "You haven’t encountered other Ancient Evil and Ancient Times?"
The Ugly Monkey chuckled, "Of course, I’ve encountered them."
"Run if you can’t beat them!"
"This ghostly place has at least a dozen unhatched Ancient Embryos sleeping, I nearly fell into the Nightmare Realm last time, but I managed to escape."
The Ugly Monkey is a Wanderer of the Shadow Path.
In terms of escape survival ability, Wanderers indeed rank first among all Extraordinary paths.
Moreover, he possesses Legendary Evasion and Nine Deaths and One Life, the former instinctively dodges an attack once, the latter evades one absolute lethal damage, probably allowing him to freely come and go in the Inner Earth World.
Shawn pondered, "Did you find the incubation cavity of the Pillars of Flesh and Blood?"
Even when farming monsters.
Reaching Level 35+ in just one or two months is an unbelievable feat.
The Ugly Monkey nodded, "Luckily found one."
"It’s not the incubation cavity of the Pillars of Flesh and Blood, but the aggregation of embryos nurturing Ancient Times."
"That ghostly place keeps summoning other Pillars of Flesh and Blood."
Shawn’s gaze burned, "Can you take me there?"
The Ugly Monkey shrugged, "Sure, I just need to slaughter a few Ancient Embryos to collect the Divine Origin to ascend to Shadow Demigod."
Two figures traveled directly from the Shadow Plane to the Material Plane.
A wave of scorching heat surged.
Shawn’s figure appeared above a magma lake, unlike the surface world of the Bizarre Realm, in the Inner Earth World, there are hardly any passages, with magma layers covering most of the space within sight, occasionally some passages are made by Pillars of Flesh and Blood emerging.
There are almost no conventional Evil Objects here, at least approaching the Legendary level existence, they are immensely large, like countless blood vessels and tumors, covering the nucleus region of the Terra Planet.
"Don’t use large-scale explosion spells!"
"This place will collapse!" The Ugly Monkey’s figure transformed into the form of Shadow life, passing directly beneath the magma lake into an underground passage.
—Transformation of Everything [Fire Elemental Elder].
Shawn’s figure transformed, diving into the magma as a Fire Element shape, continually following the other figure.
"That is a flesh conduit."
"Extracts energy and nutrients from the Earth Core to feed Ancient Embryos."
"Don’t attack them."
"It will attract the will of Lu-Kesu, the mother bearing all Ancient Embryos."
The Ugly Monkey’s figure passed through the flesh conduit, along the way, a bizarre scene presented itself, a layer of flesh wall tens of thousands of meters long enveloping the passage, with the outer layer being magma, but magma can’t burn this flesh, instead, energy is constantly absorbed and sent in all directions.
