Chapter 422: Dragged Out

Ri Lingze stood up, a look of confusion in his eyes.He had considered countless possibilities, but not this one.Opening and closing the door, and locking Li An inside.Why did that Crazy Ancient Immortal do this?This is bad.Could that Crazy Ancient Immortal know something?The art of ascension.The method of severing the seven emotions and six desires?The door to the end of the law?He would definitely like these things.But how did he know?Immortally trapped in this cage for countless years, unable to communicate with anyone.Moreover,After so many years, slumbering in this dark cage, his unwavering madness and bloodlust were strange!The direction of events was beginning to become complicated.Almost no one could understand.Time ticked by.Outside the door.People worried about Li An's safety. Frost Snow couldn't help but ask, "There was an earthquake just now. Did the door open?"Li Wuce remained silent, staring intently at the door ahead.He didn't answer.Because there was no need.The answer should be revealed soon.Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.People grew increasingly impatient.The two rivals, Immortal Emperor Ni Nian and Immortal Emperor Qiong Yu, were getting restless.What was going on?They even wanted Immortal Emperor Wusheng to go down and take a look.But they dared not.The heavens were now filled with immortals, all awaiting an answer.Twenty minutes passed.The ancient door, sealed for millennia, fell silent once again, as if it had been sealed for ages, as if it would never open again.Every immortal in the heavens had a gloomy expression, their hearts filled with worry.Delays lead to unexpected events, and the longer the night, the more troubles there are.The longer the door remained unopened, the more anxious people grew.Anxiety permeated the entire outer realm of Hell, and it continued to rise. Frost Snow even closed her eyes, the worst-case scenario constantly flashing through her mind.Ri Lingze's face darkened.The seal on the door has been broken!Crazy Ancient Immortal could emerge at any moment!Why on earth wouldn't he come out?!What unknown event had occurred?Is Li An dead or alive?Even if one were among the most powerful beings in the world, they couldn't escape the constraints of common nature.The unknown is always terrifying.Suddenly!"Crack!"A strange sound rose in everyone's ears. It wasn't loud, but at that moment, it was like thunder.The deadly silence of heaven and earth suddenly surged with wind and clouds.All the silent warriors mobilized their full strength at this moment, their gazes fixed on the Eighteen Layers of Hell, straining their senses!The door opened!Ri Lingze's eyes flashed with brilliance, descending into the deepest depths of the earth!The scene before him brought a trace of astonishment to his face.Outside the gates of hell. Li Wuce's lips trembled slightly, a look of bewilderment in his eyes.This reaction startled Frost Snow beside him. "What's wrong?""No, wait." The bewilderment in Li Wuce's eyes turned to solemnity."Too weak.""But it still exists.""What?" Frost Snow asked frantically.But before Li Wuce could reply,the heavens and the earth shook violently!A storm of concentrated immortal energy rose in the sky.A massive earthquake struck beneath the earth."Boom boom boom!!!"The world within a ten thousand meter radius outside Hell began to crumble.Extreme cracks appeared in the earth, and forests collapsed.People hurriedly rose into the air.Then...Desperate roars echoed from beneath the earth."No, no, no!""Don't eat me, I wish to be your slave forever!""Ahhh, run! Run!"The geniuses present had just heard these sounds.They were the prisoners trapped in Hell, crying for help. Such desperate cries indicated they were facing a terrifying enemy!Evil thoughts and resentment surged madly from the crumbling hell.Li Wuce and the Five Elements Emperor quickly joined forces to create a barrier to protect the geniuses behind them.But something shocking happened.The resentment that had just soared into the sky was sucked back down by a creature beneath the earth.A powerful prisoner struggled to take a half-step outside the hell gate.But the next second.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd,a pair of withered hands grasped the prisoner's head."Bang!"The brain exploded.The hand holding the head slashed downwards, finally resting on the man's abdomen, grasping the man's soul, which should have been dissipating.Then.The hand withdrew.The Crazy Ancient Immortal's right foot stepped out of hell and stood under the light of day.The next second.His left foot followed, and his entire body came into view. He stuffed his right hand into his mouth, devouring the prisoner's soul.White hair fluttered before his filthy face, half-displayed, expressionless, only indifferent.Then.People noticed his left hand.It seemed to be dragging something, still hidden within the gates of Hell, invisible to the light of day.Only after he had completely devoured the soul did he suddenly look up, his gaze fixed on the Five Elements Emperor.The two of them exchanged glances, as if engaging in some special exchange.Finally, the Crazy Ancient Immortal raised his lips in contempt, and flung out his left hand, hidden within the gates of Hell.Everyone's gaze suddenly fixed!A figure was flung outward by his hand!It was Li An! His left hand had been gripping Li An's forehead!In full view of the crowd.The bloodied and scarred "corpse" appeared before them. A single glance caused the human race to cover their mouths, their hearts skipping a beat.The figure, thrown upon the jagged boulder, was shattered, half his flesh torn and bones exposed.If it weren't for their familiarity with him.If it weren't for the fact that it could only be Li Ang,No one could have recognized the "corpse."Crazy Ancient Immortal ignored the people surrounding him, showing no interest in speaking.He faced a direction where the sinister ruins of the Immortal Ship floated.Then, with a single step, he vanished without a trace.The clouds in the sky gradually dissipated.But the world remained silent.Everyone's gaze fell on Li Ang.Both the Immortal Emperor Qiong Yu and the Immortal Emperor Ni Nian had grim expressions.Since Crazy Ancient Immortal's departure, an invisible, oppressive force had vanished from Li Ang.His self-healing factor had begun to take effect.In full view of the crowd. Li An's vanished flesh regenerated at a visible speed.Watching this scene, Frost Snow's heart, which had been hanging in the balance, finally settled. Her immeasurable sorrow and worry were instantly released.She walked towards Li An, tears streaming down her face and wiping them away as she went.Finally, her jade-white hand clasped Li An's bloodied palm.Li An's five fingers exerted a slight pressure, as if to reassure him of his safety.Up above, Li Wuce sweatdropped.The first second, the door opened.Li An's life force was so weak that he couldn't detect it, and he assumed it was gone, hence his reaction, presuming he was dead.It wasn't just him; everyone else felt the same way.It felt as if everyone had been tricked, their emotions shifting from nervousness to joy and sorrow.Yu Jingnian's eyes darkened.At the same time, Ri Lingze, far away in the Immortal King Palace, shared the same expression.Both of them simultaneously expressed disbelief and questioning. "He's not dead?"The bigger question behind this is, what exactly did the human world do?Suddenly...Ri Lingze frowned.Li An's healing ability was too terrifying.At this point, he was barely able to maintain vital functions.He raised his head from the boulder.Those were bloodshot eyes, filled with excitement and madness.He stared straight up into the sky, knowing someone was watching him from there.Li An said hoarsely, "I'm out.""See you next time!"
