Chapter 487: Powerful Existence

The group continued to move forward, looking around at the strange and twisted underground world.

Strange creatures formed by the plague emerged from the eerie black swamp from time to time, but they did not dare to approach easily.

Li Yang and others were cautious and prepared to deal with emergencies at any time.

I don’t know how far they have traveled, and a huge black city looms in front of them.

The city wall is composed of countless coiled plague tentacles, like a monster with bared fangs and claws.

Everyone approached cautiously and found that it was actually a huge underground capital, shrouded in thick miasma.

"Li Yang... Do you think this place looks familiar?" Demeter asked in confusion.

Li Yang looked carefully and nodded:

"It looks a bit like... the place where we first met Artemis."

"Behind the Gate of Death, I remember... it seems to be a place called the Underworld."

As soon as the voice fell, the city gate opened, and a surging black air wave came, sweeping everyone in it.

Everyone gathered their strength to resist the enemy and resisted the powerful shock wave.

The black fog dissipated, and the familiar humanoid plague appeared in front of the city gate, with blazing eyes, staring at everyone.

That face was exactly the same as Li Yang's face that everyone was familiar with.

That plague clone... is still alive?

He slowly roared deafeningly.

But the words were vague, and nothing could be heard at all.

Countless plague tentacles around moved in response, like strange and terrifying tentacles of the dark night, attacking everyone fiercely.

Li Yang and Oneliyi quickly slashed out several halos and barely blocked them.

"Well... this thing is stronger than expected..."

Demeter said solemnly, and at the same time blasted out a bolt of lightning, exploding a small handful of plague power.

Aphrodite dodged repeatedly, smiling at the humanoid plague:

"I remember you were very smart two days ago, how did you become like this?"

"Alas... it's too pathetic for an intelligent life form to rely on gnawing others to sustain itself."

"Is it because of this that you destroyed your brain and became like this?"

The plague clone seemed to be annoyed by her words, showing its ferocious fangs and roaring.

Then, before the sound fell, a thick black mist suddenly condensed into countless sharp black claws, rushing towards everyone.

Everyone has faced this kind of attack countless times, so naturally they don't take it too seriously.

Then they can easily bounce it off with a wave.

In such a weak situation, all the attacks of the plague can hardly cause any harm to Li Yang and his party.

Now the situation between the enemy and us has been completely reversed.

Seeing that the attack of the plague clone is difficult to cause substantial damage, Li Yang and others also relaxed their vigilance a little.

Artemis took a step forward and looked at it with some pity:

"Poor fellow, you used to be quite wise, but now you have fallen to such a state. Give up, even if you devour us, you can't live for long."

As she said that, she waved her hand lightly, and the silvery white moonlight stretched out like a thread, imprisoning the clone of the plague in place, and no matter how it struggled, it could not move at all.

It screamed angrily and wanted to resist, but its body gradually twisted and deformed, and finally froze into an ugly shape, completely losing its human form.

Then everyone continued to move towards the depths of the underground city.

From time to time, sporadic clones of the plague appeared to block along the way, and they were quickly suppressed one by one.

After walking for an unknown period of time, they finally arrived at the center of the city-a vast and empty area.

Surrounded by endless black fog and fluorescent swamps, only the central area was covered by a faint barrier.

Coincidentally, this barrier is formed by something like the power of authority.

Or, it is the power of authority that has been imitated.

Now, everyone can be more certain that this place is the place that the plague clone outside has specially led them to.

"Is this barrier... is it isolating some kind of power inside?" Demeter walked forward thoughtfully, trying to touch the barrier, but suddenly felt dizzy and quickly retreated.

Oneriyi was idle and simply poked it, but she almost fell to the ground with black eyes.

Fortunately, Aphrodite was quick to pull her back, so nothing went wrong.

"Be careful, who knows what is locked inside." Li Yang said, but he also looked at the inside of the barrier with curiosity.

I saw that there seemed to be a faint white mist floating in the barrier, which condensed into a vague shape from time to time, and then quickly disappeared.

"So this is... the source of the plague?" Li Yang frowned and stepped forward, looking carefully.

But after seeing that thing, Theresa, who had been silent all this time, suddenly froze in place.

When Li Yang tried to use the Sword of Creation to split the barrier, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yang's sleeve:

"No... wait a minute!"

"I recognize that thing!"

"That white mist... that is..."

Theresa looked at the white mist in the barrier with a complicated expression, took a deep breath, and said solemnly:

"That... that white mist is not the source of the plague, but the Holy Spirit!"

"It is... something inside the World Tree."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.

"The inside of the World Tree, so... you mean..." Li Yang frowned, and a light bulb suddenly flashed in his mind, "That thing is the origin of this world?"

Theresa nodded, then shook her head:

"Not entirely right... because the World Tree still exists in this world."

"It can only be liberated when the shell of the World Tree is broken up and the Holy Spirit inside is not harmed."

"Yes, that's right! When I went down the well, I always had an inexplicably familiar feeling, and now I finally remember it."

"That's the guy who is guiding me. It is the existence that created our plane, the real main world The origin of the world!"

Demeter frowned:

"But...but why is it imprisoned here? And it seems that it is also suppressed by some kind of power. "

"That doesn't make sense." Oneriy interrupted, "As the origin of the plane, how could it be suppressed by any power? Don't forget that even monsters like plague rely on its power to survive."

Artemis pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "So...the plague clone who tried to lure us here, because he knew the inside story here, he led us here specifically? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized.

"Oh, didn't it deliberately lead us here? What it meant was...it wanted us to unlock this barrier and rescue the origin of the world sealed inside? "

Theresa looked anxiously at the white mist ball in the barrier: "But who would do such a thing? What is the purpose of imprisoning the origin of the world? "

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could tell the reason.

Demeter spoke quietly: "If you really can't think of the culprit, just blame it on the almighty plague instinct."

"After all, it is an existence that can even defeat Li Yang's will."
