Chapter 118 Lin Yuan Enters the Dark Gate, Confers the Bone of the King's Gate
The base of the White Pagoda.
In front of the sealed well.
Lin Yuan stood in the dim blue light, his old school uniform gently fluttering in the cold wind blowing from the bottom of the well.
This area is completely different from the outer layer of the White Pagoda.
Its outer layer is pale, cold, and clean, like a lofty research institute.
And here.
It looks more like a grave.
A grave that the White Pagoda forcibly suppressed underground over twenty years.
The well walls are covered with dense white circular runes.
Those runes are extremely similar to the outer observation ring array.
It is just older, more complex, and more dilapidated.
Some of the runes have faded.
Some runes are breaking.
White chains descended from the depths of the well wall, winding around the black bone fragment at the very center of the sealed well.
The bone fragment wasn't large.
It's only half the length of an arm.
Yet it gives people an indescribable sense of heaviness.
Each door pattern resembles a shrunken abyss fissure.
Just looking at it, one can almost hear whispers coming from behind countless doors.
King-level.
Even if it's just a fragment, it's far superior to the previous Marquis-level Star Eclipse Beast.
The energy contained within this bone is more ancient, more chaotic, and more profound.
For ordinary martial artists, this is a disaster.
For Longyuan City, this is a taboo that needs to be sealed away for twenty years.
But for Lin Yuan...
This is food.
Food that is heavy enough.
He took a step forward.
boom.
The steps of the sealed well beneath our feet sank slightly.
It wasn't because he released his aura.
Rather, it is his physical body, compressed 640,000 times, that is already so heavy that it is not human.
The white ring-shaped runes surrounding the sealed well began to light up instinctively as they sensed the approach of the outsider.
A cold, old-fashioned notification sounded.
caveat.
Entry into the core sealed area is prohibited.
An unknown blood and qi reaction was detected.
The sealing chains have been restarted.
slam-la-
Dozens of white chains were lifted from the well wall.
They were supposed to lock that piece of door frame.
At this moment, however, some of them changed direction and entangled themselves around Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did not raise his hand.
I only glanced at it.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body trembled slightly.
A layer of dark gold blood energy silently spread from his body.
The white chains seemed to plunge into the deep sea as soon as they came within three feet of him.
The speed suddenly slowed down.
Then, it was bent inch by inch under the weight.
Sinking.
Press it back into the well wall.
Click.
The first chain broke.
Then came the second and the third rounds.
Inside the sealed well, the old array's notification sounds became disordered for the first time.
The unknown density of Qi and blood exceeds the sealing calibration range.
The sealing chains have failed.
Lin Yuan continued downwards.
The eerie blue light at the bottom of the well grew stronger.
The fragment of the door bone seemed to sense something, and the door-like patterns on its surface began to slowly undulate.
Like a monster that has been asleep for many years and has finally caught a whiff of life.
Just then.
An extremely weak voice came from deep within the well wall.
"Don't... come any closer..."
Lin Yuan paused slightly.
On one side of the sealed well, a ghostly blue light slowly gathered.
A fleeting image of a young girl appeared amidst the shattered runes.
She looks about eleven or twelve years old.
Its body is almost transparent.
He was wearing a lab coat from the White Tower from twenty years ago, with the cuffs and hem tattered and torn.
Her face was very pale.
His eyes, however, still retained a sliver of clarity.
But that clarity seemed as if it could be swallowed up by the darkness behind the door at any moment.
Experiment subject number one.
The Pure Gate Master who disappeared twenty years ago, mentioned in the old archives of the White Pagoda.
She is also the girl who repeatedly reminds Lin Xiaoya in her dreams "not to enter the White Pagoda".
She looked at Lin Yuan, her eyes initially wary, then a hint of doubt appeared.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yuan looked at her.
"Lin Xiaoya's brother."
The girl's afterimage froze.
"She...has an older brother?"
She seemed to remember something, and her voice trembled slightly.
"The girl in my dream kept calling me 'brother'."
"So someone really did come to rescue her."
Lin Yuan remained silent.
The girl's afterimage said urgently:
"Take her away."
"The farther away from the White Pagoda, the better."
She turned her head and looked at the fragment of the door bone at the deepest part of the sealed well, her eyes revealing undisguised fear.
"This is a prison."
Lin Yuandao:
Explain yourself.
The girl's afterimage swayed slightly.
It seemed that just maintaining the conversation had already exhausted a great deal of her energy.
"Twenty years ago, they also said they would protect me."
"They said I could stabilize the door gap."
"They said I could hear sounds coming from inside the door in my dreams."
"They said that as long as I cooperate with the White Pagoda, I can save many people."
Her voice grew softer and softer.
"I believe it."
Deep within the sealed well, the fragment of the door bone suddenly trembled slightly.
The dark blue pattern lit up briefly.
The girl's afterimage immediately frowned in pain.
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
Dark gold blood pressure drops.
The eerie blue light on the surface of the broken bone fragment was forcibly suppressed for a moment.
The girl's afterimage finally recovered, and she looked at Lin Yuan in shock.
"Can you control it?"
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"temporary."
The girl's amnesiac eyes finally saw a glimmer of hope, and she hurriedly said:
"The White Pagoda wasn't built to study me."
"That's what they really want to study."
"This piece of bone is a fragment left over from the old Stargate War."
"They say that if the dream of the cleanser can be used to stabilize it, then the power behind the door can be analyzed."
"It can provide early warnings of potential disasters."
"It will allow Longyuan City to control the gate."
She smiled.
That smile was bitter.
"But they were wrong."
"Doors are not meant to be controlled by people."
"The more you try to look behind the door, the more likely the thing behind the door will see you."
Lin Yuan looked into the depths of the sealed well.
The dark blue cracks there really do resemble a half-open eye.
The girl's afterimage continued:
"In the seventh adaptation experiment, they put an observation ring on me."
"Let me get close to this bone in my dreams."
"I heard a sound behind the door."
"Not one voice."
"There are a lot."
"They're all asking me, where is reality?"
Where is Longyuan City?
"Where is the main star gate?"
"I want to wake up."
"But the observation ring fixed my dream."
"I won't wake up."
Her voice began to tremble.
"Then, an even louder voice came."
"Everything behind those doors went silent."
"The voice asked me—"
"Could you take me there?"
The air inside the sealed well suddenly turned cold.
Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.
Is he the sect leader?
The girl's afterimage looked at him, her voice very soft:
I refused.
"So it dragged me through the door."
"I haven't been able to get out since then."
"The White Pagoda thought I had disappeared."
Actually, I've always been here.
"Inside the door frame."
"In a dream."
"Watching them generation after generation continue to search for a second Pure Gate Master."
She looked up, and a clear sense of urgency finally appeared in her eyes.
"Lin Xiaoya is the second one."
"She sees it more clearly than I do."
"Her dreams are more easily seen by the door than mine."
"If she wears the observation ring, the sect leader will follow her dream to find the anchor point of reality."
"At that time, it won't just be the White Pagoda."
"It will also be able to see the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate."
The voice just fell.
Deep within the sealed well, a dark blue light suddenly surged.
The patterns on that fragment of the door bone seemed to be illuminated from the other end by something.
A deep, distant, and ancient will is slowly approaching along the fragments of the door bone.
The girl's afterimage turned deathly pale instantly.
"It's here."
Lin Yuan looked up.
Above the sealed well, the outer layer of the white pagoda rumbled incessantly.
The battle between Xueying and Qin Xuanxiao continues.
All eyes were on it.
No one knows that something far more dangerous has already begun to emerge from the depths of society.
Lin Yuan looked at the girl's afterimage.
"How much longer can you hold on?"
The girl's afterimage shook her head.
"have no idea."
"Once the door bone fully awakens, it will swallow me back up."
"But I can shield you once."
Lin Yuandao:
"Need not."
The girl's afterimage froze.
Lin Yuan walked toward the center of the sealed well.
"Just tell me."
"Is this edible?"
The girl's afterimage froze.
She doubted she had heard correctly.
"eat?"
Lin Yuan looked at the fragment of the King-level gate bone.
"right."
"Can I eat it?"
The girl's afterimage was momentarily at a loss for words.
She has been trapped here for twenty years.
I have witnessed countless White Tower researchers fear it, seal it away, observe it, and exploit it.
I've also witnessed it repeatedly contaminate the White Pagoda instruments and drag away people's dreams.
But she had never seen anyone stand in front of a fragment of a King-level gate bone and ask if it was edible.
The girl's afterimage trembled in her voice:
"It will pollute you."
"It contains remnants of rules from behind the door."
"There are also traces left by the sect leader."
"Even ordinary marquis-level experts who touch it may be corroded in the opposite direction."
"you……"
Lin Yuan raised his hand.
The Ultimate Star Furnace slowly rotated within his body.
Dark gold energy and blood gathered along the palm.
"That means it's edible."
The girl's afterimage: "..."
She suddenly understood.
The person in front of me is different from the researchers at the White Tower.
There was no greed in his eyes when he looked at the door frame.
There was no fear.
There is only one extremely calm judgment.
This thing has energy.
So it's edible.
Deep within the sealed well.
The fragment of the door bone suddenly vibrated violently.
A wisp of dark blue will finally pierced through the cracks in the door frame and entered reality.
In that instant, the entire sealed well seemed to be covered by some kind of invisible gaze.
The girl's afterimage clutched her head in anguish.
"Don't look at it!"
"It will see you!"
Lin Yuan did not close his eyes.
Instead, he looked up at that wisp of dark blue will.
Deep behind the door, it seemed as if a giant eye was slowly opening, seemingly from an immeasurable distance.
A voice echoed from within the sealed well.
Low-pitched.
distant.
It seemed to come from behind the gates of Wanmen.
"The Gate Swallower..."
Lin Yuan's eyes turned cold.
"Who are you?"
The will did not answer his question.
It seemed to be sizing up Lin Yuan.
It's like identifying something that doesn't belong to this era.
A moment later, the voice sounded again:
"Within your body."
"There's something that can swallow doors."
"That doesn't belong to humans."
Lin Yuan said calmly:
"Then you come and get it?"
The sealed well suddenly trembled.
The dark blue patterns on the broken door frame suddenly intensified.
A terrifying pressure crashed down on Lin Yuan.
It was as if countless doors were closing in on him at the same time, trying to crush his soul, body, and vital energy into pieces.
The ground beneath Lin Yuan's feet instantly collapsed.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body roared to life.
The dark gold energy suddenly sank inward.
He did not back down.
Step out.
His five fingers gripped directly at the fragment of the King-level gate bone.
The girl's afterimage fell silent:
"Don't touch it!"
Lin Yuan's palm had already landed on the broken pieces of the door frame.
boom--!
The azure pollution instantly surged into his palm.
The will behind the door seemed to have found an entrance, trying to penetrate his flesh, bones, and soul.
But the next moment.
The Ultimate Star Furnace suddenly lit up.
As soon as the azure pollution entered Lin Yuan's body, it was as if he had been thrown into a dark gold furnace.
peel off.
compression.
Crush.
Swallowing and refining.
System notifications kept popping up.
[Detected residual energy at the King-level gate bone]
[Remnants of the sect leader's will detected]
High-intensity contamination detected behind the door.
[Contamination being removed]
[Physical compression of Qi and blood is underway]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 640000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 643000]
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 647000]
Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
It has a lot of energy.
It is much heavier than the overflow tide from the Star Source Pool.
But the pollution is also stronger.
The sect leader's will was like countless dark blue needles, trying to pierce deep into his body.
Lin Yuan snorted coldly.
Deep within the bones, silvery-white star patterns lit up one by one.
The Extreme Star Furnace started spinning again.
Those long, dark blue needles were crushed.
The system indicated that the beeping continued.
[Current number of Qi and Blood Physical Compression Counts: 650000]
Above the sealed well.
The battle raged on the outer perimeter of the White Pagoda.
Blood Shadow was pushed to its limit by Qin Xuanxiao's Mountain and River Domain.
And deep within the bottom layer.
Lin Yuan held onto the fragment of a King-level sect bone with one hand.
While enduring the oppression of the sect leader's will.
He forcibly absorbed and refined the remaining energy within.
The girl's afterimage stared at him blankly.
She suddenly felt that the bone she had feared most for the past twenty years seemed to be retreating for the first time.
The will behind the door bone hesitated.
The deep voice sounded again:
"You can't handle the door."
Lin Yuan looked up.
The dark gold color in the palm indicates a deeper and more profound flow of Qi and blood.
"Then press it in."
boom!
The Ultimate Star Furnace roared.
Within the sealed well, both a ghostly blue light and a dark golden light erupted simultaneously.
