Yama Reborn-Chapter 606 - 603: So This Really Is "Journey to the Center of the Earth"?

The flight lasted about thirty minutes.

The Wizard at the forefront stopped.

He raised the flashlight in his hand forward, but found that the light could not penetrate the darkness ahead.

Some kind of force shielded the light away.

Several people immediately flew to the Wizard's side.

"Did you feel it? Ahead... maybe less than twenty steps away, I sensed the space barrier."

Nolan and the Son of the Sun stayed silent, while Chen Nuo took a deep breath and released a bit of spiritual power forward.

Then Chen Nuo shook his head and said, "I can feel it, this space barrier is very solid, it's not something we can forcefully break through with our power...

If we try to break this space barrier here...

Unless..."

Chen Nuo looked at the Octopus Monster: "Unless you plan to awaken the Mother now and start a battle with the Mother Clone here."

The Octopus Monster silently moved forward and flew directly to the invisible space barrier.

He even reached out and gently touched the space barrier.

Chen Nuo watched as the Octopus Monster's hand penetrated the barrier.

Then the Octopus Monster withdrew his hand, and his left hand's wrist was completely severed!

But not a drop of blood flowed from the severed area.

The Octopus Monster glanced at it and nodded, "This is it."

He exhaled lightly as a vigorous Life Force Element rapidly spread, and in the blink of an eye, his severed left hand was regrown.

While doing this, the Octopus Monster stood at the forefront of everyone, and the Special Ability Users on the two stone ships were at the back, so no one saw the Octopus Monster performing this nearly miraculous feat.

Although Chen Nuo and the others, who were close by, saw it, they weren't surprised that the Octopus Monster possessed such a skill... In fact, this guy seemed to have an Undying Body.

To be precise, almost every Seed Chen Nuo encountered had this capability.

"So, how do we get in?" Chen Nuo looked at the Octopus Monster and slowly said, "You must have a plan, right? Do you have the Key to unlock this space barrier?"

The Octopus Monster nodded: "That's why I always say, the person I admire most is Mr. Chen Nuo, you.

Since I've brought you here, I don't intend to awaken my mother here by using brute force—so, of course, I've already prepared the Key to open the door."

Saying this, the Octopus Monster suddenly stepped back.

He gently waved his hand, and a space crack was drawn in the air by his fingertips.

The Octopus Monster pointed with his fingertip, and a mass of something slowly flew out of the space crack...

A mass of bloody flesh!

Chen Nuo took one look and recognized it at once...

It was an arm.

A human arm!

Dripping with blood.

Moreover, Chen Nuo noticed, this human arm was… black-skinned!

Chen Nuo's heart suddenly moved...

"Pengpeng?"

The Octopus Monster gave a smiling wink at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo instantly understood: "So… no wonder there's been no news of Pengpeng for the past few days… it turned out that you captured him."

The Octopus Monster looked at Chen Nuo and slowly said, "Yes, he is a very important Key."

Chen Nuo shook his head: "Did you have to make it so bloody? Even cut him into pieces?"

The Octopus Monster laughed: "If you knew what Pengpeng was doing when I caught him, you wouldn't think my methods too cruel.

This guy had gone completely mad. When I caught him, he was slaughtering a tribe that originally worshipped him."

He said, casually making a gesture.

A mass of blood, still retaining faint Life Force, was invisibly squeezed from the severed arm, finally spraying onto the space barrier!

"His power comes from the Mother, and only the Mother's own power can open the door set by the Mother."

The Octopus Monster casually explained.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the seemingly empty, invisible barrier in front suddenly started to ripple...

The rippling area was exactly where the blood was sprayed.

The blood sprayed from an arm seemed exactly like some kind of solvent.

On this barrier, it dissolved an area just about enough for one person to pass through.

Chen Nuo frowned: "Seems like the blood's not enough, do you have other parts of his body?"

The Octopus Monster laughed, deliberately widening his eyes at Chen Nuo: "I misjudged you... Mr. Chen Nuo, you're more ruthless than I thought!

Now Mr. Pengpeng only lost an arm, you actually wish for me to cut more parts from his body?"

Chen Nuo was stunned: "Pengpeng… is still alive?! You didn't cut him up after killing him?"

"Of course he's alive."

The Octopus Monster slowly said: "A dead man's Life Element will completely dissipate in a short time. I don't have the ability to keep a dead person's Life Element intact... so, the Key must be alive to work.

Moreover, inside, I still need this Key."

Saying this, the Octopus Monster looked at the others: "So, everyone? Who wants to go first?"

Chen Nuo took a deep breath, "I'll go."

He was in the state of being [Invincible], walking at the front, entering this mysterious space. Theoretically speaking, his safety factor was the highest.

Lu Xixi wanted to say something, but Chen Nuo shook his head at her.

Seeing Chen Nuo willing to take the lead, the others naturally had no objections.

Chen Nuo let go of Lu Xixi's hand, maintaining his flying posture with his spiritual power, then took a deep breath... and plunged into the dissolved passage on the space barrier!

·

With a step forward, Chen Nuo felt that underneath his feet was no longer air, but suddenly he was stepping on solid ground!

This feedback of strength made Chen Nuo stumble slightly as he stepped into the space.

And before him, the originally dark underground cave suddenly had a flaw in the light.

The sudden brightness made Chen Nuo blink instinctively.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Nuo keenly sensed a sharp edge shooting at him from the left!

After all, being the battle-hardened Lord Yama, he immediately reacted.

Turning his head sideways, his body moved half a meter to the side, and with a flick of his fingers, a telekinesis cutting swiftly slashed down!

Whoosh!!

Chen Nuo turned his head to see on the ground a segment of...

A plant resembling a vine?

Except it was cut by his own hand.

The severed segment on the ground seemed to twist slightly.

At the very top, the vine had grown a needle about as long as a cell phone!

And from the severed area, red and green liquid was flowing out in blobs!

Chen Nuo had already quickly pushed it aside, now watching the front and surroundings...

Chen Nuo couldn't help but open his mouth, exhaling slowly...

"It's really like the 'Journey to the Center of the Earth', huh?!"

`

At this moment, Chen Nuo felt as though he was placed in a gigantic underground world.

Looking forward and around, he found himself on a high slope, as if halfway up a mountain.

All around were dense forests reminiscent of tropical rainforests!

The underground world ahead was a vast plain, entirely covered in lush forest.

Standing where Chen Nuo was, from a vantage point, he could see deep into the forest in the distance...

Radiating outward, the forest spread in every direction, gradually gaining height... until the edge of this underground world.

Looking up, the canopy seemed like a... sky formed of rock.

The dome of rock was densely dotted with sparkling, flame-like lights...

It seemed like some kind of stone or some mysterious force illuminating this world.

Visually estimating, the height of the dome was incredibly stunning, reaching up to a thousand meters!

In mid-air, some kind of bird-like creatures seemed to be circling and flying...

And in the deep center of the forest...

One could clearly see what looked like a lake glowing in the distance...

Like a mirror, it lay quietly at the heart of the forest.

One could faintly feel the flow of air, a breath of a gentle breeze.

And in the jungle, the chirping of birds and insects could be heard, along with the roar of some kind of beast...

This underground world seemed to form a peculiar ecosystem.

Chen Nuo was currently at the edge of this underground world, at a high elevation, approximately three hundred meters above the plain forest below.

Chen Nuo barely had time to look around when he suddenly heard a strange sound.

He immediately looked down...

And saw that the severed vine he cut earlier was now being swarmed and bitten by some strange ants.

These ants looked thumb-sized, with a faint yellow shell covering their bodies.

The red and green liquid seeping from the severed vine seemed to be incredibly attractive to these ants.

In no time, at least a hundred giant ants had swarmed over the vine, and the ground in the distance seemed to have even more ants rapidly approaching...

Chen Nuo frowned, casually waving his hand, sending a telekinesis storm that swept away the severed vine and the ants, casting them far into the jungle.

`

At this moment, footsteps approached from behind Chen Nuo, and Lu Xixi stepped out from the air.

Chen Nuo immediately turned around, grabbing Lu Xixi's hand and pulling her close to his side.

"Husband~"

Lu Xixi barely managed to greet him before the Empress opened her mouth in astonishment, looking at everything within sight around her!

"This... here..."

"Yes, 'Journey to the Center of the Earth.'" Chen Nuo sighed, "That science fiction novel."
