Chapter 176: Chapter 147, Level ? (Additional update for Silver’s Mysterious Little Arrow!)

The Book of the Dead floated in midair, displaying a line of ice crystal small letters:

"You have become a ’Fog Shadow,’ lasting for 5 seconds."

"Current remaining Soul Power is: 10/19."

"Divine Skill: Soul Shock did not cause you any harm."

"You have cancelled ’Fog Shadow.’

There’s actually something called "Divine Skill"?

If it weren’t for the premonition of death having alerted me, I would probably be dead by now.

Wu Xiaode wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

I’m still alive!

He gritted his teeth and looked up at the translucent monster on the ceiling.

The monster grabbed a handful of powder from the juncture between two palaces, sniffed it at its nose tip, and whispered:

"That’s right... this is the Holy Power, damned Ulysses, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Boom—

A distant booming sound erupted.

The monster turned its head to look up at the great hole, narrowing its eyes:

"Dragon Curse Power, the brutish force of the One-eyed Giant, as well as Holy, Fallen, Charming... Ah, it’s been a long time since it’s been this lively, what exactly is the situation?"

The monster entered the great hole and instantly disappeared.

—This time, perhaps it really went to investigate the situation above.

Wu Xiaode slowly exhaled.

Just now, it was good that I didn’t make any moves, nor did I immediately start digging.

That monster was hiding behind—

If it had seen me, I wouldn’t even know how I died!

Wu Xiaode crouched down again and placed his hand on the floor, quietly thinking.

There wasn’t much time left.

The Demon Gods had all gone to the Death Demon Cave and the Dark Palace.

Once they figure out what the Black Dragon and the One-eyed Giant are disputing over, the One-eyed Giant might not be able to keep it secret.

It can’t stand against so many Demon Gods.

It will definitely share the intelligence brought by the Death God with the other Demon Gods.

—In these layers of the Demon God palaces, there lies a soul that has awakened the Power of Death.

If that monster allies with the Black Dragon, the One-eyed Giant, Little Ulysses, and the Charming Witch, how am I to evade their search?

Then, I can no longer meddle undetected.

Let’s go!

Wu Xiaode clenched his fist, his gaze flickering.

No—

After so much trouble to get this opportunity to acquire an unprecedentedly powerful Name Skill.

I have witnessed the power of a Name Skill myself.

This is the power of the Law!

I need it.

This is currently the most potent power to change my destiny!

Wu Xiaode looked again at the Book of the Dead.

"A palace made of constructed souls, a monster that harbors life force."

"If you try to dig through it, it will inevitably retaliate and call its master."

Two lines of ice crystal small letters appeared on the book’s page.

Must not dig!

If I can’t dig, how am I to get to the next layer?

The sounds of battle gradually weakened.

It seems the Demon Gods have already converged.

There really isn’t much time left!

—But how can I get to the next layer?

If I dig randomly through the underground palaces again, I will certainly alarm this palace, which has a soul, and it will notify that invisible Demon God!

What to do?

Wu Xiaode looked around.

All around, those invisible beings were still performing something in an orderly manner.

In their hands were bodies of various sentient beings.

These bodies were being fused together by some force, transforming into various bizarre monsters.

Then—

One after another, wailing souls were being installed into these bodies.

They were creating monsters!

Creating monsters...

So, it was the souls of sentient beings being used!

Wu Xiaode’s expression remained calm as he thought hard for a few moments and then suddenly reached out into the Void.

The Book of the Dead quietly flew over, landing in his hand.

Wu Xiaode immediately thought to himself:

"Wall of Wishes, summon the White Tiger!"

In the Book of the Dead, the page containing the Wall of Wishes slightly moved.

A pale light fell from the page, quietly materializing within the silent Demon Mist.

The White Tiger!

"This place is dangerous, but you called me, so I came," said the White Tiger, scanning its surroundings with telepathy toward Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode spoke:

"Can you help find out if there is any slaughter nearby?"

"Do you want to leave this place?" the White Tiger asked.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode spoke.

—The Demon Gods feed on reaping human souls for food, pleasure, and missions.

If we can find another location where sentient beings are being massacred—

That must be another Demon God palace!

Because the known Demon Gods are confronting each other!

"Get on my back, and I will take you to find it," said the White Tiger.

"Thank you," said Wu Xiaode.

He mounted the White Tiger.

Meanwhile, the roars of the One-eyed Giant intertwined with the sound of bricks and tiles shattered by the Black Dragon hitting the walls, mixed with the persuasions of other Demon Gods, creating an immensely chaotic scene.

"Stop right there, you two fools!"

the voice of the Invisible Demon King resonated all around:

"The tunnel connecting your palaces was dug by Ulysses, so stop fighting over this!"

"I knew he was digging everywhere, he just broke through to my place too!"

"Ah, really? They are Holy, how could they dig over your side?" came a voice full of charm.

"It was them! Everyone, stop!"

The Invisible Demon King roared again.

Wu Xiaode squinted his eyes and gently patted the White Tiger.

The White Tiger knew he looked calm, but was actually getting anxious.

This kid... has barged into the lair of the Demon Gods...

And he still hasn’t died.

He wants to explore even more!

...What a crazy fellow.

But in this era, if you’re not crazy, you’re only good as food.

The White Tiger, eyes wide open, gazed into the Void and suddenly said:

"I sense killing over there—"

"That is an extremely dangerous place, are you sure your Demon Mist has enough concealment ability?"

"I made it here by being extra cautious, but now let’s take a risk." Wu Xiaode calmly said.

"Is it worth it?" asked the White Tiger.

"It’s worth the gamble, let’s go!" Wu Xiaode said.

—The Silent Demon Mist could hide from the One-eyed Giant even before it evolved.

Now, it has evolved twice, each time enhancing its concealment ability.

It’s worth a try!

"Hold on to me." said the White Tiger.

It made a gentle leap into the Void—

In an instant, the entire spirit palace vanished from Wu Xiaode’s sight.

The Void existed only for a moment.

Enveloped in mist, the White Tiger, claws retracted, gently landed on a sheet of black ice.

Wu Xiaode, sensing something, looked down.

The White Tiger’s fur was all bristled up, its body pressed against the ground, even its ears pressed against its forehead, holding its breath.

"Don’t make a sound, we’ll hide in your mist here without moving." the White Tiger telepathically said.

Wu Xiaode understood and lay still on the back of the White Tiger.

He looked into the depths of the darkness.

Within the visible range, there was a faint blue flame.

The firelight illuminated a human-like silhouette.

This being was slightly smaller than the One-eyed Giant, roughly the size of a two-story building.

It sat on a block of black ice, facing the flame, spearing something with a long skewer over the fire.

Upon closer inspection, the skewer was filled with humans.

Under the searing flames, they did not burn but turned directly into ice sculptures.

Whenever all the humans on the skewer turned into ice sculptures, the figure would pull back the skewer and eat the humans on it, one by one.

Crunch, crunch—

In the darkness, only the sound of it gnawing at the ice sculptures echoed continuously.

Wu Xiaode counted, the skewer could hold up to nineteen people each time.

The human-like monster kept eating, unabated for nearly twenty minutes, showing no signs of stopping.

It seemed like the entire event was reduced to just this one action.

—Roasting humans, eating them.

It tirelessly ate, seemingly never satiated.

Sometimes, it would suddenly burst into frantic laughter, as if delighted with its meal.

Watching for a long time, Wu Xiaode gradually felt uneasy.

What exactly is this thing!

Why does it feel more terrifying than the One-eyed Giant?

"Isn’t there another place we can teleport to?"

Wu Xiaode whispered telepathically.

"No, only here is there still killing, everywhere else is very quiet." the White Tiger said.

"Where is this?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"I don’t know." the White Tiger telepathically replied.

Wu Xiaode fell into deep contemplation.

—What level is this?

He looked to the Book of the Dead.

The Book of the Dead now displayed rows of ice crystal letters:

"You have reached level ?."

"Enter level ? of the Death Demon Cave, the mission grade surpasses Class A, and you will receive a title crown unprecedented."

"—Because this is an utterly impossible task."

"This place is revered by the Demon Gods, yet you have come here, exposing the hidden secrets to the Laws of the Holy City."

"Your actions have caused the Laws of the Holy City to develop a sense of worship."

All the letters had just appeared—

When suddenly, with a loud "bang," ten stars appeared above Wu Xiaode’s head.

The ice crystal letters frantically refreshed:

"Among the worlds, there are many parallel universes, yet in the parallel universe inside the Sin Prison, there lies an unspeakable secret."

"You have explored this terrifying secret and survived."

"Your actions have astounded the Laws, for this is something that all creatures could never achieve."

"They ask: ’Are you still human?’"

"Your actions have earned the admiration, reverence, and fear of the countless Laws residing in the Holy City."

"When you return to the Holy City, you will receive the unique title crafted jointly by all the Laws of the city."

"Additional reminder:"

"Only the Silent Demon Mist can temporarily conceal your whereabouts."

"Besides that, any type of teleportation will alarm the current target, making you die immediately in its hands!"
