Purgatory Artist-Chapter 433: Breakout!

"Why did you use his corpse to meet me?"

Liu Ping asked.

This Manor Lord doesn't seem to be an entity on the same level as the Lord of Nightmares. After all, he still owns a manor in this Occultism world.

Noticing that he didn't appear when I was investigating the matter of the Occultists and instead sent the umbrella bearer's corpse.

Then.

He wants to deal with me, but can't come in person?

Or, he doesn't have any ill intentions and only wants to discuss a few things with me?

The umbrella bearer spoke: "I've already said that all Occultists must serve me as their master, so what you need to do now is to sign a covenant with me — —"

"Since you're so outstanding, you can keep your body."

Liu Ping went silent.

No ill intentions?

No, it clearly has ill intentions.

Now that he's willing to talk, I need to see what this guy wants.

"Aren't you curious about where the umbrella bearer went? He tricked you and left the Void Pillar with his soul, don't you want to know what happened to him after that? "Liu Ping asked.

"What happened to him is related to you, isn't it?"

The umbrella bearer's corpse answered without any emotions.

"So you don't want to look into his matter and directly came to me?" Liu Ping asked.

"You have a lot of secrets on you, as long as you become my subordinate, I'm sure I'll be able to obtain a lot of valuable secrets" the umbrella bearer's corpse answered.

"Then I'll be frank, I have no intention of becoming someone else's slave" Liu Ping replied.

The umbrella bearer's corpse remained silent.

Liu Ping thought briefly and said: "If you can afford it, I don't mind selling a bit of information"

The umbrella bearer's corpse still didn't answer.

Liu Ping sensed something and looked up.

Numerous stars had appeared in the sky of this subspace.

These stars descended and turned into Occultists who stood behind the umbrella bearer's corpse.

Their faces had lost all signs of life, standing still like corpses.

Once all the Occultists had descended, the umbrella bearer slowly spoke:

"All Occultists are my subordinates, you are no exception, otherwise — — -"

The Occultists instantly exuded killing intent.

They circulated the power of Law in their bodies to the point of 'Emergence' and entered a state where they could fight for their lives at any moment.

Hundreds of Occultists focused their gazes on Liu Ping.

They began to unleash their spells — — -

"Stop!" Liu Ping shouted.

" What is it? " the umbrella wielder's corpse asked.

"There are a few hundred of you. I can't defeat all of you alone," Liu Ping said.

"So you've decided to surrender?" The umbrella wielder waved his hand behind him.

The Occultists stopped.

"I really don't understand. You already have so many subordinates. Why are you still so fixated on me?" Liu Ping asked.

"A hobby of collecting" the umbrella holder's corpse replied.

"Maybe that's one aspect, but there's actually a deeper secret that you haven't told me," Liu Ping said.

"Who do you think you are? A slave like you dares to pry into my thoughts?" The umbrella-holding corpse sneered.

The Occultists behind him began to move.

Hundreds of Occultists silently passed by the umbrella bearers and charged towards Liu Ping.

The battle instantly began!

"Quick," Liu Ping whispered.

Zhao Chanyi came out from behind him and slashed the long sword in her hand towards the ground.

Boom!

The entire world was sliced into countless pieces and completely collapsed.

The Occultists paused for a moment, then immediately attacked!

Just as they attacked, a golden light pierced through the world, bringing Liu Ping and Zhao Chanyi into the depths of the endless void.

It was Yana!

Liu Ping managed to buy her enough time to say a few words before she arrived!

The three of them quickly flew through the void of darkness, heading towards an unknown location.

"Why are you even faster than before!?"

Zhao Chanyi complained.

She had already formed a hand seal to avoid the wind, but was still unable to open her eyes, even her hair was messed up.

Yana replied: "When I was still a Holy Knight, almost all of my abilities were used to increase my speed. Now that I've broken through to Occultism realm, I've increased my speed to an even higher level"

Saying so, a few sprites of light appeared behind her.

They were the other speed-type Occultists.

Yana coldly scoffed, the golden light around her body became even brighter.

The sprites of light were instantly left far behind.

"Not bad, your Occultism ability is also used to run away — — seems like you're always thinking about running away, Yana" Zhao Chanyi spoke with a gentle tone.

"Zhao Chanyi, you're too fat! This will affect our speed of escape, get back into the Tome! "Yana coldly replied.

Zhao Chanyi glared at her, only to be glared back.

"Or do you want to become one of the cat corpses in that Manor Lord's collection? No, perhaps a female corpse? "Yana whispered.

Zhao Chanyi couldn't say anything and obediently turned back into a Card and returned to the Tome.

Yana finally let go of one of her hands.

She hugged Liu Ping with both hands: "Where are we running to?"

Liu Ping smiled bitterly and replied: "Outside of the Divine Pillar, where else are we familiar with?"

In just a few words, the two of them had already flown quite far away.

The pursuers could no longer be seen.

At the same time, Liu Ping's group was also gradually lost in the endless darkness.

Suddenly.

A card flew out from the card book.

Andrea.

"Why did you come out?"

Yana asked curiously. While she was at it, she secretly winked at Andrea.

— — -it wasn't easy for me to force that cat back into the book, and now that we're in a place where there's no one, why did you come out?

Andrea blushed and said: "That's not it, I suddenly remembered something I wanted to tell Liu Ping"

— — -big sis, don't blame me, you still want to talk about love at a time like this?

"Is it because of this black scale? It's burning. "

Liu Ping, who had been silent when Yana and Zhao Chanyi were talking, finally opened his mouth.

He took out the black scale from his bosom.

This was the black scale that Liu Ping had obtained in the Nightmare Crypt in 2027 in the real world in order to save the World Spirit.

The Nightmare Spell on the scale was used to deal with the Dark Executioner, and the spells that Liu Ping had left behind in the past were all absorbed by the World Spirit.

The World Spirit was Andrea from the past.

She had wandered into Evernight, reunited with Liu Ping, and obtained the black scale once again.

"That's it. Although it no longer contains any spells, I can still rely on it to do certain things — — - as soon as you obtained it, I was able to remember everything that happened in the past, how miraculous" Andrea said.

"No, it's not that you've remembered what happened in the past. It's that the past has already become a fixed part of history. That's why it appeared in your mind," Yana said.

Andrea thought for a bit, then nodded.

Yes.

Her entering the Eternal Night was something that would definitely happen.

But before that, would she be killed by the Dark Executioner, or would she be saved by Liu Ping?

No one knew.

When Liu Ping returned to 2027, fought the Umbrella Man, killed the Flesh Giant, entered the Nightmare Underground Palace, snatched the mission, and snatched the black scale — —

When all of this happened, and history was fixed — —

Only those who were related to it would receive this fixed memory.

More importantly — —

Her dragon's spine was tampered with by the guy in the nightmare, but in the Eternal Night, after reuniting with Liu Ping, Liu Ping helped her change her dragon's spine.

She regained her power again!

Andrea looked at Liu Ping with joy, only to see him seriously examining the black scale in his hand.

Lines of burning words appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes, just like before:

[An undamaged scale of armor]

[It can contain everything, but there's nothing attached to it right now]

Liu Ping recalled what had happened before and said with great emotion, "I'm sorry.

"The cause of the past is the effect of the present, this scale is the result of our hard work in the past"

The three of them looked at the black scale at the same time.

Andrea thought for a bit:

"When you released the thing related to the 'Spirit King' on this scale, I fainted"

"That's right" Liu Ping said.

"I remember now ... this piece of scale is connected to my memories. I need it to release something," Andrea said.

Liu Ping handed the black scale to her.

Andrea held the scale, closed her eyes and said: "This hides the secret of the Spirit King's Three Thousand Worlds ... I remember now, it's the key"

She cut her finger, quickly drawing a strange rune on the scale.

The scale flashed.

A flash of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, enveloping both the black scale and Andrea.

Liu Ping saw lines of words appear on top of Andrea's head:

[The only Holy Spirit]

[Awakened]

[She has obtained the memories of the past, the only hope of the current world to fight against the nightmare]

Following that.

A card with flickering light appeared in Andrea's hand.

There was a mirror drawn on the card, and in the mirror, there was a faint shadow of a battle armor.

Andrea stuck the card on the black armor plate and said, "Let's go.

"This is the Card of Insight and Exchange, when it is used on the armor plate, it is the same as using it on your armor"

"What's the effect?" Yana asked.

"It only exists when Liu Ping touches it. Other than that, it can be exchanged with the other scales on the armor," Andrea said.

"But where did you get this card from?" Yana asked.

"Do you still remember how I could always loot all kinds of weapons?"

"I remember," Liu Ping said.

Andrea smiled faintly. Her temperament became even more profound, and her gaze became profound and full of wisdom.

"Armor — — many of its scales contain the power and secrets of the past. Liu Ping must rely on this scale to retrieve these secrets."

After saying that, she stretched out her hand and touched the scale.

The black scales instantly disappeared.

What replaced it was another scale covered in dust and cracks.

— — the two scales had swapped places!

In other words, the black scale had returned to the armor and replaced the black scale with the black one.

"How cautious," Yana said.

"The enemy is too terrifying, this is a necessary precaution," Andrea said.

She showed the cracked scale in front of Liu Ping and Yana.

"Big sis Yana, you should also return to the card tome, you can't touch the secrets behind it, it's not safe," Andrea said.

Yana opened her eyes wide and glared at her again.

It wasn't easy to get to a place where there's no one else but Liu Ping, and you want to chase me away?

Andrea stuck out her tongue and smiled apologetically.

"Alright, I'm going to rest, call me if you need anything" Yana's figure flashed, turned back into a card, and returned to the card book.

In the darkness.

Only Andrea and Liu Ping were left.

As well as the black scales that were full of cracks.

"What's inside?" Liu Ping asked.

"Before I went in, I didn't know either. It's a secret of one of your lives, other than you, no one else would be able to see it" Andrea said.

"Let's go take a look"

Liu Ping pressed his hand on the scales that were full of cracks.

Andrea immediately turned back into a card and returned to the Tome.

"Remember, don't summon us, we can't listen to the secrets of your past" she reminded him one last time.

Liu Ping suddenly remembered something and asked: "Then what about Lilith?"

— — -Lilith is the Tome Spirit of the Ccard Tome 'Death Puppet'.

"She's fine, she's like your weapon, her fate is tightly tied to yours, recognized by the Laws as a card user's weapon spirit," Andrea said.

"Hehe" Lilith popped out from Liu Ping's hair and smirked triumphantly.

"Then, I'll begin" Liu Ping said.

Andrea nodded, then flew into the Tome and hid.

Liu Ping held the scale tightly.

In an instant, lines of burning words quickly jumped out.

[Attention!]

[You've activated a scale on the armor!]

[This scale contains the secrets of the past, please be careful!]

All the text disappeared.

The scales, which were full of cracks, suddenly emitted a formless wave and turned invisible in an instant.

Liu Ping stood still for a few moments.

However — — -

Nothing happened at all.

"Ah? Did I activate the scale incorrectly? "

Liu Ping muttered to himself.

At the very next moment.

There seemed to be a huge pulling force in the void. Liu Ping was pulled hard and fell rapidly into the dark and endless depths.

"What — — -"

As soon as Liu Ping uttered a single word, he vanished without a trace.

His speed of descent was several times faster than Yana's speed of flight!

As soon as he left, the void of space returned to darkness and nothingness.

Complete silence.

After an unknown amount of time.

Finally, an umbrella bearer with a black umbrella appeared here.

He looked around and muttered: "Strange, he was clearly here, but now he's gone ..."

Behind him, more and more Occultists appeared.

They used all sorts of methods to try and find any clues, but still found nothing.

At this point, the umbrella bearer finally sighed "Fine, they must have used some sort of method to escape — — even if we chase after them, we won't be able to catch up to that Saint Angel of Repentance"

"Even I have never seen such a Professionist who only pursues speed to escape ... it's worth collecting!"

"Seems like I'll have to make a trip here with my main body"

As soon as he said that.

He turned around and flew deeper into the darkness, gradually disappearing from sight.

The Occultists scattered and followed the path they came from, heading towards the Void Pillar.

...

At another location.

Liu Ping only felt that he was falling continuously.

That piece of black scale appeared again and flew back and forth a few times before finally landing on his back and sticking tightly to his back.

At the very next moment.

The black scale turned into a long, faintly discernible rope that gave off a faint glow. One end of the rope was tied to his back while the other end reached into the endless void above.

"This is — —"

Liu Ping turned around to look at the rope on his back, then recalled something from before.

The Executioner.

At the time, after the Executioner released the so-called [Embrace of Nightmares], he appeared in the form of a human male — —

He also had a similar rope tied to his back!

What's going on!?

While Liu Ping was thinking, lines of burning text appeared in front of his eyes:

[The scale of your armor has been turned into a safety measure:]

[The Pulling Rope of Myriad Worlds.]

[The other end is attached to the armor, allowing the wind you breathe to conceal your presence, the earth you step on to not corrode your soul, allowing you to use your power normally, and the knowledge and secrets you possess to not be taken away when you leave]

[— — -The power of the four Saint Pillars of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind]

Dong!

A heavy sound of impact.

Liu Ping felt that he had landed on solid ground.

He looked up, only to see that he was surrounded by a series of dilapidated structures that he had never seen before.

The fog was surging.

Other than these structures, he couldn't see anything further away.

— — what is this place?

Just as he was thinking, another line of burning words popped out:

[Attention please]

[You've arrived at a greater World Layer beneath the Void and Purgatory]

[Current world location:]

[Nightmare]
