Chapter 462 - 238: Tier Seven Dungeon 2
’One hundred million souls... The effect is too powerful.’
’If this keeps up, there’s no telling when I’ll be able to gather a Level 8 Demon tide.’
’But what I need is Level 7.’
’This Tier is more than enough.’
The Source of Calamity danced!
Finally, within the void, one Tier Seven Demon after another materialized!
And amidst the Tier Seven Demons, a Tier Seven Dungeon also took form!
’Someone is coming.’
Lu Cang immediately recalled the Source of Calamity into the Little Nether Realm and went before the newly formed Tier Seven Dungeon. His wish had been fulfilled.
He injected one million souls into it...
Then, he entered directly.
BZZZZ—
The moment he entered, he felt numerous powerful auras. This was a maze composed of a Sea of Trees.
There were many tree-type Demons inside.
Lu Cang still wasn’t sure how Tier Seven Demons were classified...
After all, according to Lorren, there were no relevant records. The Secret Sand Archipelago was just a small, peripheral area of the Secret Sea, and information on High Tier matters was exceedingly scarce.
Furthermore, Lu Cang had clearly sensed during his studies that knowledge concerning the High Tiers seemed to be deliberately concealed by the major powers, who didn’t want it known to the public.
Even within world-class factions, the various Churches, or the White Tower, it was difficult to find any information.
He had just arrived in Atlantis City a few days ago and had originally planned to research this information thoroughly, but Saint One had captured his attention.
All his thoughts were now focused on how to eliminate Saint One.
"This place... I feel it’s not quite enough."
SWOOSH—
Lu Cang turned, undid the Restriction that prevented departure from the Dungeon, and left the sealed-off Dungeon directly.
Afterward, he sacrificed another nine million souls.
He entered again to take a look.
He was met with a Sea of Trees, vibrant and crimson. One enormous tree after another blotted out the sky, their trunks dripping with a liquid like red gemstones.
The moment Lu Cang arrived, millions of vines shot out, hurtling toward him!
SWISH!
Lu Cang raised his hand and swung his War Spear!
CLANG!
However, he felt his War Spear slice into the vines as if it were striking some kind of hardened steel!
The strike was met with extreme resistance.
It wasn’t a clean cut at all!
But even so, Lu Cang still severed a huge number of vines, clearing a path!
"Hmm... This place will do."
Lu Cang could feel that as the Dungeon’s intensity increased, the Space had also been sealed.
’Just as I thought. According to Nest theory, the deeper one goes into a Nest, the harder it is to escape.’
’This place should be able to prevent Saint One from escaping with his life.’
Then, like a streak of light, he passed through the gaps between the countless branches in an instant!
The branches grew denser, more numerous, and faster, but in Lu Cang’s eyes, they were nearly motionless.
Extreme Battle Intent—Momentary Long Thought: At any moment during combat, one can attain a window for thought as if time itself has stood still.
’As long as there are gaps between these branches, and as long as I’m fast enough, I can easily dodge them.’
While advancing!
Lu Cang simultaneously used a pure Combat Skill to carve a mark on the ground.
This mark was a mark of Reincarnation!
...
’Saint One, since you plan to use matters related to Reincarnation as a trap to lure me...’
’...then I will use the same method to attract you.’
’Let’s see if you can be more patient than I am.’
’Someone who has lost Reincarnation should be more desperate to regain it than anyone else, right?’
’I don’t think you’ve reached the stage where you’d give up hope on Reincarnation just yet.’
SWISH!
Lu Cang streaked past like a flash of light, leaving marks of Reincarnation everywhere—on the grass, on the tree trunks.
At the same time, in a clearing within the Sea of Trees, Lu Cang erected a stone monument.
On the monument, he used the Ancient Su Language to write: "The Second Place of Reincarnation."
And beside it, he wrote some corresponding clues in the form of a moderately complex riddle.
BOOM!
Countless vines surged after Lu Cang in hot pursuit.
After setting all this up, Lu Cang immediately entered the "Forgetfulness Void" state.
SWOOSH!
In an instant, the vines forgot who they had just been attacking, who they were fighting, and why they were attacking in the first place.
Compared to humans, the intelligence of Demons is far, far lower.
Even Tier Seven Demons possess little to no capacity for thought.
At this moment, what was forgotten was forgotten. It would be difficult for them to recall what they were just doing, so the effect of this forgetting was far more potent on Demons than it would be on humans.
The lower a creature’s Spirituality, the stronger the effect of the forgetting.
And after everything was forgotten...
Lu Cang had already vanished, reappearing thousands of kilometers away in a flash.
Forgetfulness Void + Unsolvable Mystery + Movement
Under the power of this three-in-one combination...
...he instantly vanished far away into nothingness, and everything ultimately became a mystery that couldn’t be recalled...
Lu Cang waited a few more seconds inside the Dungeon, then decided to release the Restriction.
’If this group gets wiped out the moment they enter the Dungeon, it’ll be difficult for news to get out.’
’I have to give them a chance to escape...’
After fully lifting the Dungeon’s Restriction that prevented departure, Lu Cang walked right out of the Dungeon.
The moment he left the Dungeon, Lu Cang felt several waves of Perception wash over him.
WHOOSH~
Lu Cang once again instantly escaped into nonexistence.
The beings who had just seen him walk out of the Dungeon immediately forgot his existence. After a brief moment of daze, they refocused their attention on the Dungeon.
