…
God’s Spiritual Eye scanned the creature, and information about the Hound of Sin appeared before his eyes.
After reading it, even Lin Wudao was shocked.
He did not expect that this cute dog in front of him would have such an extraordinary background. It was even a great terror itself.
If one was bitten by it, even if one did not die, one would be seriously injured.
In an instant, Lin Wudao could not help but be a little wary when he looked at it, afraid that it would bite him.
However, just as Lin Wudao was cautiously sizing up the Hound of Sin, the latter simply widened its eyes and looked at him curiously.
It even barked at him a few times.
After a while, under Lin Wudao’s astonished gaze, the Hound of Sin slowly came before him and sat on the ground, quietly watching him.
No matter how Lin Wudao threatened and chased it away, it had no intention of leaving.
“How can there be a Hound of Sin in this Devil Prison?”
Buzz!
Just as Lin Wudao was in shock, suddenly, traces of dazzling divine light burst out from the corpse of Xiao Tianyi, who had been dead for tens of thousands of years.
Immediately after, under Lin Wudao’s surprised gaze, an illusory figure appeared from the divine light. Its form was no different from Xiao Tianyi himself.
“Remnant soul of obsession?”
Lin Wudao frowned as he looked at the shadow in the sky.
Xiao Tianyi had been dead for tens of thousands of years. Whether it was his body or his soul, they should have long been obliterated by time. The shadow in front of him was probably formed by his obsession when he was alive.
“It seems that this level 10 Demigod of the Penglai divine race still has a lot on his mind,” Lin Wudao murmured.
Whoosh!
Just as he was feeling bewildered, Xiao Tianyi’s remnant soul of obsession had already swept his gaze over.
“Benefactor, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you here for thirty-six thousand years.”
The other party’s pleasantly surprised voice sounded.
Hmm? Waiting for him?
Lin Wudao frowned when he heard this.
“You knew I would come to Devil Prison?”
“Yes. In the past, the High Priest of the Penglai divine race once predicted that the Divine King Xiao Xuanji was trapped on the ninth floor of Devil Prison in the Mountain Mausoleum Area and that someone would come to the Land of Sins thirty-six thousand years later. That person is a benefactor of our Penglai divine race. He is the only one who can save Xiao Xuanji from his suffering in the Land of Sins,” Xiao Tianyi said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Lin Wudao was bewildered.
In every generation of the Penglai divine race, someone with extraordinary talent who possessed all kinds of magical and shocking abilities would be born.
Lin Wudao was not surprised that they could predict the future.
However, to be able to predict what would happen tens of thousands of years in the future was somewhat unbelievable.
“Is the Penglai divine race really that heaven-defying?”
He was shocked and skeptical of Xiao Tianyi’s words.
“I can’t be considered a benefactor of the Penglai divine race. The reason why 1 came to the Land of Sins was because I was entrusted by someone. If I could find the ancestor of the Penglai family, that would naturally be good. If I can’t, then there’s nothing 1 can do,” Lin Wudao said indifferently.
Since he had accepted the request, he would naturally do his best the fulfill it. However, his goal was only to help find the ancestor of the Penglai Family. As for other matters, they had nothing to do with him.
The other party wanted to ask him for help? Sure, but the prerequisite was that he had to be given enough benefits.
“This stone coffin must contain the Divine King of your Penglai divine race, right?”
“Yes. In the past, I learned through some special channels that the Divine King of my Penglai divine race was trapped here, so I came to rescue him regardless of everything. Although 1 crossed the Sea of Bitterness and went against the current from the tenth floor of Devil Prison to successfully find the place where the Divine King was trapped, 1 still failed at the last step in the end. The curse on the tenth floor of Devil Prison was too terrifying. It can even curse Divine Kings to death. In the end, 1 was affected by the curse and was unable to save the Divine King.”
At this point, Xiao Tianyi’s eyes revealed helplessness and sadness.
However, he had no regrets.
Divine King Xiao Xuanji was too important to the Penglai divine race. He was known as the last hope for the rise of the divine race.
Therefore, as long as he could save the other party, it would be worth it no matter the price. Even if he died, he would have no regrets.
This was the mission of all the members of the Penglai divine race.
“If this Hound of Sin could have been born and grown to its current level thirty-six thousand years ago, I believe we would have been able to save the Divine King. However, it’s not too late now. After thirty thousand years of growth, this little thing has grown quite a bit. With its help, it can surely bring you out of Devil Prison,” Xiao Tianyi sighed.
Hmm? He was the one who brought the Hound of Sin to Devil Prison?
Lin Wudao was surprised.
Originally, he was wondering why the Hound of Sin was in Devil Prison. He didn’t expect it to be brought in by Xiao Tianyi from the outside world.
At the same time, this perfectly explained why there was no curse on the ninth floor of Devil Prison.
It was because the curse on the ninth floor had long been devoured by the Hound of Sin. After all, the dog was born from the source of evil and specialized in eating all sins and evil in the world. Curses were also a kind of evil substance, so they were naturally in the diet of the Hound of Sin.
“Young man, I can sense that there are members of my Penglai divine race outside. You should have been entrusted by them to come and save the Divine King, right?”
“Yes. I only know that he was a predecessor of the Penglai Family, but I didn’t know that he was actually a Divine King. Oh right, is your Divine King still alive?” Lin Wudao asked curiously.
In response, Xiao Tianyi sighed and shook his head.
“The Divine King died tens of thousands of years ago. Currently, the left hand of the Divine King is stored in this stone coffin. It is not his complete body.”
He was already dead?
Hearing this news, Lin Wudao was secretly delighted.
It was good that he was dead. Since the other party was dead, he could then collect his corpse.
Although the corpse was only left with a left hand, if he put it in the heaven burial copper coffin, he might be able to obtain a shocking treasure if he was lucky.
After all, just collecting a wisp of the great demon of Mountain Tu’s soul back then had allowed him to obtain a supreme talisman. A Divine King should be very valuable.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao’s eyes could not help but reveal a look of anticipation.
At this moment, he was already prepared to collect the corpse.
“This stone coffin only contains the left hand of my race’s Divine King. To you, its value isn’t great. Even if you get it, it won’t be of much use. If you’re willing to take the Divine King’s left hand out and hand it over to the Penglai divine race, then my race is willing to give you something even better as repayment. To be honest, on the other side of the Sea of Bitterness, I have already prepared the corpse of a True God for you.”
Hmm? He knew that he wanted corpses?
Abruptly hearing Xiao Tianyi’s words, Lin Wudao’s heart trembled. His cold eyes stared at Xiao Tianyi’s remnant soul of obsession and his gaze turned hostile.
All along, collecting corpses had been his biggest secret. Yet, Xiao Tianyi actually knew about this and even prepared a corpse tens of thousands of years ago? Was the prophecy of the Penglai divine race really that heaven-defying?
At this moment, Lin Wudao was truly shocked.
“Is this also the prophecy of your Penglai divine race’s High Priest?”
“Indeed. The High Priest of my race is the Oracle of the Penglai divine race. He knows everything, including everything that happened in the past hundred thousand years and whatever will happen in the coming hundred thousand years. In the past, the High Priest sacrificed all of his life to leave three prophecies for the Penglai divine race. One of the prophecies was about how to save the Divine King. If you do not believe me, you will know when you go to the ancestral land of my Penglai divine race.”
Speaking of the High Priest, Xiao Tianyi’s eyes were filled with reverence. The former was simply worshiped like a god.
Although Lin Wudao found it unbelievable, he did not believe it completely.
“Oh right, you said before that there’s a tenth floor in Devil Prison?”
“Yes. The tenth floor of Devil Prison is connected to the mysterious Sea of Bitterness. At the same time, it is also the only channel to the outside world. After crossing the Sea of Bitterness and reaching the other side, you can leave the Land of Sins.”
“However, there is an extremely terrifying curse on the tenth floor of Devil Prison that can curse even Divine Kings to death. Now, the Hound of Sin has grown up. With its help, the curse of the tenth floor of Devil Prison won’t be able to threaten you anymore. At that time, you only need to take the Boat of Paramita to cross the Sea of Bitterness and escape from the Land of Sins.”
As he spoke, Xiao Tianyi raised his palm in the air, and three items instantly flew out from his corpse and floated in front of Lin Wudao.
They were a token, an ancient horn, and a mysterious dog chain..
