Chapter 178: Beneath the Nether River, All Souls Are Equal—Instant Annihilation!
But in fact, you can't really blame Lin Yi for this.
On one hand, he was thinking about doing the task earlier, so naturally his thoughts were more numerous.
On the other hand, it was also the first time Lin Yi encountered these ghost-type monsters, so he was unfamiliar with their mechanisms.
Now it seems that although they're the same quasi-emperor tier monsters, spirit-type creatures are indeed much more troublesome than those normal monsters.
Of course, in front of Lin Yi now, they're no longer troublesome!
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked toward the ghost nest, at those other massive black shadows.
Quasi-emperor tier...
At the very least, they're all at the peak king tier!
One can't help but wonder how many years this ghost nest has existed, to have gathered so many vengeful spirits and evil ghosts.
Among these evil ghosts, the powerful ones can seize more Yin energy and devour other evil spirits, naturally leading to the birth of so many ghost kings!
Seeing Lin Yi's emotionless gaze sweep over them, the countless black shadows within the ghost nest trembled all over in an instant, filled with terror!
But malicious ghosts are, after all, different from living beings. Even if they know that Lin Yi is a difficult opponent, their violent nature still drives them to rush forward instead of fleeing.
Unfortunately, Lin Yi had no interest in tangling with these small fries.
The ghost kings thought Lin Yi was looking at them, but actually, Lin Yi was watching a spot at the far end of his gaze.
Just about there, it's currently the limit of what I can control.
Lin Yi pointed with one hand and, in the next moment, the area he had been watching shattered like a mirror.
Another Netherworld rift was opened by Lin Yi!
A terrifying cold air erupted, and in an instant, all the evil ghosts and vengeful spirits at that position were completely dispersed!
If Thunder God's Fury requires withstanding divine might, and Great Wilderness Star Fall needs meteorite cooperation.
Then the difficulty of the Nether River Funeral, this necromancy element forbidden curse, lies in the control of Nine Nether Cold Qi and Nether River water!
Moreover, for the Nether River to truly take shape, it not only needs an opening but also requires an outlet.
A Nether River Funeral with only one opening is merely summoning the Nether River, forcibly controlling enemy targets at most.
Once the Nether River dissipates, nothing would matter anymore.
But with an extra outlet leading back to the Netherworld Domain, the river water of the Nether River will flow endlessly!
Washing away everything, taking everything with it!
Lin Yi closed his eyes, and in the next moment, behind him, Lin You's silhouette slowly emerged as well.
Lin You extended her right hand, placing it on Lin Yi's arm, her eyes glowing with a burst of purple light!
In the next moment, Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes and spread his right hand!
The far-off outlet of the Nether River, as well as the nearby entrance, were suddenly widened several dozen times!
Rumble!!
The violent, rushing sound of water roared deafeningly, pouring out from the entrance and then flowing toward the distant outlet. In an instant, a magnificent Nether River, several kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long, burst across the sky!
Wherever the Nether River water flowed, all the evil ghosts and vengeful spirits had no chance to struggle and were directly swept away.
Then, in the blink of an eye, they melted into the grim green river water, including those quasi-emperor tier ghost kings!
Indeed, even a randomly selected ghost king that could serve as the final boss of an average Descent Abyss dungeon had no difference from those ordinary evil spirits in front of the Nether River!
As long as the river water touched them, their massive bodies would emit dense white vapor, and what awaited them was being drowned in the river water with wailing, ultimately vanishing completely!
The Nether River equally devours every soul.
No matter what your rank is!
This is the horror of a purely restraining skill!
And next, what was most outrageous was that Lin Yi saw that as the Nether River devoured numerous spirit body creatures, the width and flow speed of the river actually expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye!
A few breaths later, under the dumbfounded gaze of Lin Yi and Lin You, the entire Nether River expanded to more than double its original size compared to when it first formed!
Tsk...!
This mechanism wasn't even written in the skill description!
Devouring spirit body creatures, instead, enlarges itself?!
Lin Yi clearly felt that it was not just self-expansion; the duration of the entire Nether River was also longer!
Could this be what they mean by the legend that strong people are full of surprises?
But Lin Yi soon discovered that there was more than one surprise.
Originally, this Nether River was under his control, and he could direct its flow by moving the entrance and outlet.
But as the river water surged, transforming into a Nether River flood, the entire Nether River became uncontrollable like a wild horse off its reins.
The icy river water even splashed onto Lin Yi's own ankles.
Fortunately, Lin Yi only felt that the river water of the Nether River was bone-chilling cold, but apart from that, it had no other negative effects.
Even if it had gotten out of control, it was impossible for it to harm the caster.
"You... dare to... destroy my soul hole!"
A sinister woman's voice suddenly rang in Lin Yi's ear.
Lin Yi looked up toward the depths of this boundless ghost nest.
There, he saw a disheveled, entirely grayish-white woman's head.
The head was connected to the outer barrier of the entire ghost nest, with countless ghost claws and blood-red moss protecting it below, making Lin Yi unable to spot her at first.
"Soul hole..."
"Interesting, it means these evil spirits and ghost kings are all part of this woman's nurturing method, and in the end, she would also devour them to enhance herself."
Lin Yi received a brief message from Lin You.
It explained the origin of the so-called soul hole.
Lin You, although she had forgotten her own origins, had preserved this knowledge engraved in her mind like an inheritance.
Lin Yi focused his gaze on that grayish-white ghostly figure, and instantly his spirit surged.
Not only should people not be judged by appearances, but the same goes for ghosts.
Just a female ghost's head, yet her rank is emperor tier!
The gap between emperor tier and quasi-emperor tier is incomparable!
This female ghost is already the same tier of monster as Yikes!
Judging by the extreme difficulty of level 3 dungeons, this should be the final boss of this dungeon!
Finally, it came; Lin Yi had been waiting for so long.
The Nether River continued to expand.
Even without its control, it's only a matter of time before it consumes the entire sealed ghost nest soul hole.
However, the ghost emperor was not as foolish as other ghost kings to rush forward to their death upon seeing the terror of the Nether River.
She gazed at Lin Yi with boundless hatred, then Lin Yi discovered that the entire ghost nest began to move!
It seemed to be rapidly retreating from him.
To be precise, it was avoiding the Nether River.
No matter how terrifying a skill is, it has an end to its duration, and she waits for that moment!
Temporarily avoiding the edge, then shredding the human who ruined her century of accumulation to pieces, enslaving their soul for eternal torment!
Lin Yi's eyes sank.
Unexpectedly, the entire ghost nest was part of this ghost emperor!
She actually carried the entire ghost nest, residing within the Sealed Ghost Nest community!
Lin Yi certainly couldn't just watch her escape.
With just a single thought, the entire interior of the ghost nest was suddenly enveloped in a terrifying chill!
That was not the cold brought by the Nether River, but a tangible terrifying low temperature!
"Ice Age!"
As the thought reached, the spell was already cast!
Ice-element tier eight, freezing everything!
