Chapter 255: Chapter 226: Prisoner and Key!_3

The monster extended a pitch-black, sharp bone finger and placed it on the forehead of the middle-aged man.

"Die!"

Just as the monster was about to act, it did not anticipate a sword beam flying towards it from behind.

In a flash, it disappeared from where it was and reappeared behind Wu Xiaode who had just swung his sword, grabbed him, and sniffed him in front of its nose.

"Ah... how nostalgic, this is the scent of a bygone Epoch."

"But it is not the target I am looking for."

The monster regretfully tossed him aside—

Boom!

Wu Xiaode was thrown out, crashing into the ground and creating a large pit.

The monster seemed somewhat listless and said to the middle-aged man, "You, come here."

The middle-aged man found that he had regained his ability to move.

He was about to muster his Power to strike, but the monster gently grabbed him and pulled him directly in front of it.

"I remember teaching every parallel world the method to create ’Death God’. Why haven’t you created it?"

The monster asked sharply.

"I find it very dangerous," said the middle-aged man.

"Is that so? It only needs your Power to build it, does that also make you feel endangered?" the monster responded.

"I don’t understand its true principle," said the middle-aged man.

"Hmm... not bad, within the billions of parallel worlds, it’s rare to see someone as cautious as you," the monster casually let go of him and stood there, lost in thought.

Wu Xiaode jumped out of the deep pit, released all his Soul Power into his long sword, and said firmly:

"What exactly are you? And what are you looking for?"

Looking at him, the monster sighed nostalgically and said with a sharp chuckle, "Hee hee, I am looking for someone who has awakened the Power of Death; he is the real key to my liberation—haven’t you all been searching for him these years?"

It raised its head, its gaze extending into the boundless Void.

"My ’Death God’... Over a hundred seventy-five million have been created by various Demon Gods across parallel worlds, and among them, one must have encountered the person who has awakened the Power of Death."

"I sensed it."

"I thought he would be in your world, but you didn’t even manage to create a Death God."

"So, he is not in your world."

"See, such a simple matter, yet here I am wasting my time."

The monster lowered its head and glanced at Wu Xiaode.

"Ancient being, I shall not waste my time here anymore, my time is very precious."

The Void flickered.

The monster vanished.

The dangerous aura lingering in the air long remained.

The Black Dragon, weakened, knelt on the ground gasping for air, and said intermittently:

"You... cannot blame me... it used me as a mount..."

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and gently wiped his forehead.

His hand was covered in fresh blood.

The monster had tried to stab him just now.

It was thanks to the being from the previous Epoch next to him that he had been saved by a sword strike.

Otherwise, he would have died.

He sighed and said, "Just now—"

"No need to say more, who is this guy?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"It is a Split of a prisoner; we are not its match," said the middle-aged man with a serious expression.

Feeling there was no need to keep any secrets anymore, he continued:

"It appears that its countless Splits are frantically searching in the Sin Prison—just like us, it is looking for the one who has awakened the Power of Death."

Wu Xiaode looked at him, waiting for his next words.

The middle-aged man hesitated slightly, then said, "It’s not really a secret; Sin Prison is an infinite parallel world, there is one of you in each parallel world, so you can never truly leave from here."

"Sin Prison is such an immensely powerful Art, almost unsolvable."

"Unless—"

"You awaken the Power of Death, which can use death to confirm your uniqueness in the endless parallel worlds."

"Because being able to go to the Death World and return from it would prove that you are the only living person acknowledged by the Law of Life and Death."

"From this moment, you are no longer part of the Art; you have come back to life."

"You will be able to move freely between the Sin Prison and the outside world."
