Chapter 610: Erosive 3

May.

Several years had passed since Li Chengyi arrived in Anze, and the development of Shadow Dragon Prison was finally nearing its final phase.

The so-called eighty-one Dragon Jails had been mostly opened by him by releasing prisoners in the form of his Primordial Spirit.

Now, the development of Dragon Jail was finally coming to an end.

Inside Shadow Dragon Prison.

Gloomy shadows were omnipresent, enveloping everything within the Dragon Jail.

Li Chengyi floated in the darkness, and having spent a long time here, he gradually discerned the entire structure of Dragon Jail.

This place was like a huge cubic Rubik’s cube, with each small square being a cell for imprisoning a prisoner.

And he had already explored the vast majority of these cells.

Next up was the remaining core region, which was also the most dangerous area.

It contained Dragon Jail’s most powerful prisoners, those who had been imprisoned the longest.

’So far, I haven’t found Paine and the others. It seems they must have entered some deeper place... or there’s another entrance here, and they’ve already used it to leave...’

Thoughts flashed through Li Chengyi’s mind.

Without hesitation, he flew forward, not daring to use Flash Appearance carelessly, for he wasn’t sure of the spatial conditions somewhere far ahead.

Further in.

Further in.

He flew straight in for about several thousand kilometers.

Suddenly, a new invisible barrier obstructed his path.

’Is this the boundary of the prison?’

Li Chengyi extended his hand and gently touched it.

Smooth, cold, and soft.

The Golden Sword instantly appeared in his hand and he thrust it forward forcefully.

Pu.

The blade actually slid off to the side.

The barrier in front of him remained unscathed.

’Such high intensity,’ Li Chengyi mentally praised, and then he added another layer of strength.

Pu!

A flash of golden sword light, yet the barrier was still undamaged.

This time, Li Chengyi’s expression changed slightly, for his power had reached his normal full strength.

At such a time, even a True Fire Powerhouse, or a deity wielding moderate divine power of this world, would not dare to confront this strike head-on.

He could already judge that his comprehensive strength had reached the peak of mid-level deities in his normal state.

If he added the various amplifications of Flower Language Technique, his strength would increase significantly.

Yet even so, he still couldn’t breach the barrier before him.

’It seems that pure destructive power still needs to be enhanced...,’ he contemplated, determining which of his many Flower Language Abilities would be suitable for the task at hand.

Unfortunately, Li Chengyi suddenly realized that among all his Flower Language Abilities, there were very few that directly enhanced destructive power.

Only the passive amplification of fortress defense and Glint Flash were based on his own power as a unit, amplified by a multiple.

Beyond that, Destiny Hit Blade was an assistive effect, and its destructive power was not as strong as that of Yin Canon and Thousand Face Sword Canon.

’Then... I can only use Warm Nurtured Blade.’

According to previous tests, the blade nurtured by warmth had not been used for long, but its power had already far exceeded moderate divine power, reaching a higher standard, so it was appropriate to use it at this time.

Holding the sword in one hand, Li Chengyi saw a golden sword shadow swiftly emerge upon his blade, merging into one.

Zhi!!

In an instant, the brilliant golden sword light shone upon the invisible barrier.

Ka-cha.

A fine crack appeared in front of Li Chengyi.

Seizing this opportunity, he rapidly flashed forward, turning into a wisp of smoke to enter through it.

The convenience of a Primordial Spirit’s body was evident here.

As soon as he entered the fissure, Li Chengyi immediately sensed a familiar fluctuation from afar.

The fluctuation jolted his spirit.

’It’s the Floral Bead! It’s Paine and the others!’

After searching for so long, he finally noticed signs of their presence. Though the fluctuation was faint, it seemed to be extremely distant.

Li Chengyi decided not to bother with effort, donning the Purple Black Wisteria Floral Dress. The pure purple Armor, decorated with intricate and gorgeous purple crystal circuits, was dotted evenly with dark golden Wisteria Flowers, distributed across the Armor like clouds.

The front of the helmet underwent considerable changes, with a pair of sharp and lethal black V-shaped blades at the brow, guarding the forehead and face.

Mouth and nose were also sealed and protected by some dark golden filtering device, leaving only two pure purple diamond-shaped crystals embedded at the eyes.

The most exaggerated aspect was behind the Armor, where countless wisps of black smoke seemed to automatically vaporize with his movements.

Li Chengyi reached out to touch the black smoke, finding it completely illusory, unable to touch a physical form.

Yet that black smoke was imperceptibly causing the surrounding space to gradually take on the same color as itself.

This was Shadow Dragon Prison, which was already black, so it was hard to distinguish.

But his senses clearly felt that the black smoke from the Floral Dress was gradually altering the surrounding space to something with the same aura as itself.

’The Evil Soil contamination from Divine Flower Armor? Good thing it’s just a micro version...’ Li Chengyi inwardly shuddered.

Since fusing with Divine Flower Armor, many of his possessions had undergone significant changes.

After moving the Floral Dress on his body, he moved swiftly, heading towards the sensed direction.

Gradually, in the far distance ahead, he saw a multitude of different-sized colorful planets.

At first, the planets were no bigger than sesame seeds, but as Li Chengyi moved at high speed, they quickly enlarged and grew bigger and bigger.

Until it completely occupied his entire field of vision, becoming a real, giant planet with a diameter of at least tens of thousands of kilometers.

Li Chengyi’s heart was shocked. This place, there actually existed space objects like planets.

And what was strange was that there were a total of seven planets, orbiting around a blazing fireball in the middle.

Compared to the size of the planets, Li Chengyi’s body had shrunk to the point that it was far smaller than a sesame seed.

In front of the massive entities, his figure was like dust, insignificant.

’The innermost part of this prison is actually a sealed starry sky!?’ He was beginning to understand that Paine and the others might have entered here knowing that there were habitable planets inside.

Li Chengyi swept over the seven planets with his consciousness power, sensing them roughly.

He quickly discovered that Paine’s fluctuations were emanating from the fifth planet.

With a long-distance shadow leap, he suddenly vanished into the air and reappeared above that planet.

The desolate yellow sands stretched to the horizon.

The sun was scorching, baking the splendid golden desert below.

Hiss.

With a soft sound, Li Chengyi’s purple-black figure instantly appeared on top of a dune, looking around.

’No one!?’ His face beneath the helmet was tightly furrowed.

Paine’s vibrations were right here, but...

"What are you looking for, sir?"

Suddenly, an elderly voice arose abruptly from behind Li Chengyi.

He spun around fiercely, and the black smoke from his Floral Dress burgeoned, tinting the surrounding space with a hint of gray-black.

Behind him, stood a tall elder in a red robe, with a red cross pattern on his forehead, hands clasped behind his back, floating in mid-air; his white hair casually draped over his shoulders, with his black eyes showing emptiness and indifference.

"Are you a prisoner here?" Li Chengyi, unable to see through the old man, couldn’t help but be a bit more cautious.

"A prisoner? Suppose so," the old man replied, "Many people call me Red God. Red, the color of blood, signifies destruction and harm, but also life..."

"You seem quite powerful," praised Li Chengyi, "I have rescued many pitiable prisoners trapped in this place. Regardless of their crimes, being imprisoned in this place without daylight, they should have paid for their deeds by now."

"Is that so? Then why did you draw your sword as soon as you came in?" the elder asked, frowning.

"Because some prisoners have gone mad from the lengthy confinement, they might indiscriminately attack everyone. So, I just wanted to protect myself. Taking out a weapon shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Li Chengyi said with a smile.

"However, why is your armor permanently eroding the spatial environment here?" The elder asked again.

"That’s because my natural constitution isn’t suited to this environment. So I made some minor adjustments to make it more comfortable for me to move around. You see, the changes I’ve made only affect my immediate vicinity and do not extend to a larger area, don’t they?" Li Chengyi explained.

"There’s another question," continued the elder, "Why do I detect a strong scent of blood on you? Only someone who has recently killed a powerful being would carry such bloodlust."

Li Chengyi’s heart shivered. This guy truly lived up to the name of Red God, being able to sense even this.

"That’s because... there is chaos from war in the outside world, and a war between gods is erupting. In order to protect these innocent and pitiable prisoners, I clashed with beings from the outside,"

He sighed.

"Actually, I don’t wish for killing. Often, I am just trying to protect myself..."

"You truly are a kind and sincere prince," the Red God’s expression softened, seemingly believing the other’s words.

"Since that’s the case, let me help you, Red God, break free from this dark prison, shall we?" Li Chengyi proposed.

"I’m profoundly grateful for your kindness," the Red God finally showed a smile on his face.

"What about the other beings here? While I still have some strength left, why don’t we leave together and take everyone with us?" Li Chengyi continued.

"The others? There are no others here, just some insignificant insects. There’s no other existence with the same status as myself. So, you just need to help me leave, that will be enough..."

the Red God replied.

"Only you have one, huh? That’s nice... hehe. By the way, the energy expended to open a gap for you to leave is enormous, so..." the face within Li Chengyi’s helmet slowly became bizarre.

"So what?" asked the Red God.

"So, it requires..."

Clang!

In an instant, a soft sound was heard, and Li Chengyi appeared behind the opponent at some unknown point, with a golden sword light slashing diagonally across.

Accompanied by a spreading noise within the consciousness.

The elder suddenly reached out, seizing the Golden Sword.

Boom!

A massive burst of black and red smoke exploded between their fingers and the blade.

"What are you implying, Your Excellency?" The Red God’s complexion changed slightly, and with a flick of his hand, he flung Li Chengyi tens of kilometers away.

The Instant Prison Sword Technique just now had hardly damaged him.

At this moment, clad in the Wisteria Floral Dress, Li Chengyi’s speed and strength were six times greater than his normal state!

This was the amplification brought about by the Wisteria Floral Dress, but even at this level, his Instant Prison sword blow had still been blocked by the opponent.

"Don’t worry, I was merely testing your strength a little. After all, once we go out, we may encounter a mass of deities assaulting us. If you’re too weak, I’m afraid you won’t survive the encounter," Li Chengyi stabilized his figure and replied calmly.

"So, what have you tested out now?" The Red God’s face grew cold.

"Of course... nothing at all!"

In a flash of black light, once again, Li Chengyi appeared at the Red God’s side, his dual swords crossed, cutting out a dense storm of golden sword light.

The sword light kicked up tiny particles around it, creating a special halo much like a sword wind, hurtling toward the Red God.

The Red God raised his hand, intending to repeat his previous trick and seize the blade, but a strange sense of threat instantly made him flinch; he quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the sword light.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a flash of golden light on Li Chengyi’s body. In an instant, the speed and power of the golden sword light surged greatly.

With a terrifying sword speed exceeding thirty times the speed of sound, combined with the immense strength from the terrifying boost, he unleashed a horror strike force of millions of tons in that instant.

The golden sword light, with indescribably brilliant golden brilliance, sped up to chase down and slash squarely against the Red God’s chest.

Blood light burst forth; he tried to continue retreating, but an invisible, layered web stuck him still for an instant, delaying his retreat speed by one-hundredth of a second.

In top-tier combat, such short moments could create a vast difference in the outcome.

Rip!

The sound of a sword blade cutting through flesh exploded.
