Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 226: Burst In

Alan stabbed the Devil's Praise deeply into the Thousand Commander's chest. The dagger was filled with blood energy, and from time to time, a trace of pure life essence flowed into Alan's body, making him feel as comfortable as if he was soaking in warm water. The Life Essence absorbed from the Devil's Praise would provide Allen with upgrades, or even evolution, depending on the species.

The King Snake's blood was an example.

The essence of the Saber Demon race was to increase Allen's strength. This was most evident in the blood energy he had absorbed from the Saber Demon General. It was also the reason why Allen was able to quickly use the Thousand Average Essence in just over a month. Although the Thousand Commander's blood energy was not as dense as the general's, the improvement he had brought was limited. Allen would not let go of any chance of advancement.

Even if the gains it can generate are limited.

After the ventricular blood essence was completely absorbed by the devil's praise, Alan pulled out his dagger. Raising his eyebrows again, he found a piece of Origin Jade. The Thousand Commander's Origin Jade possessed many blood-colored silk veins. The blade of the devil's praise was buzzing, as if it was extremely thirsty for this Origin Jade.

Previously, this Origin Tool had a precedent for absorbing Origin Jade, but now, it was replaced by a centurion. Alan felt that the devil's praise was like a wild horse that was about to run away. He smiled bitterly in his heart and let go of the reins. Immediately, the gemstone radiance of the dagger increased greatly, and it was so dense that it felt as if there was really blood rolling inside. A few strands of red light shot out from the tip of the dagger and wrapped around the Saber Demon Origin Jade like tentacles.

With a buzz, the Saber Demon's Origin Jade lit up, and every blood-colored grain on it was dazzling red. A large expanse of red light illuminated Allen's face. Allen could vaguely see a small face floating in the Origin Jade. It was the face of the Saber Demon. It carried a hint of anger and a hint of fear as it let out a silent roar. His face suddenly dissipated, and the strands of blood in the Origin Jade were sucked away to praise the Abyss Devil.

Every time a bloodline disappeared, the Origin Tool's gem lit up. When the filaments on the Origin Jade disappeared, the Origin Jade lost all light. With a light sound, it turned into a gray powder and slid down between Alan's fingers. The Abyss Devil praised the gemstone's bright red color. Alan could feel that the essence from absorbing the Origin Jade was much denser than pure blood energy. If the blood energy was 1, then the Origin Jade would be 10 or even 100.

After eating a full meal, the Origin Tool gave back an incomparably pure blood energy. When the blood energy entered his body, Alan could vaguely hear the roar of a demon. Then, his skin itched all over his body, and this feeling disappeared for a moment. When Alan looked at the back of his hand, his skin actually flowed with a bright luster, and his toughness increased a little.

The snowy plains were shaking.

Alan put away his dagger and looked with Lucy at the source of the vibration. It was an open metal ball. The deck on the ground was lifting. Alan pulled Lucy and the two of them quickly ran towards the ball. In the blink of an eye, the deck had already been raised by more than half. Metal tabs began to pop out from the edges. They combined themselves, forming an important ball-like state.

"Give me your hand." Shouted Alan, grabbing Lucy's hand. With a loud shout, Lucy was thrown upwards. Lucy relaxed, allowing the force to draw a parabola through her body, passing through the metal deck at the highest point and falling down again.

Alan also began to speed up and jump when he reached the base. He jumped up seven to eight meters and reached out to grab the edge of the deck. Alan pulled hard and jumped down again. As soon as it landed on the ground, the shadows above continued to form. Raising his head, he saw that the components of the sphere were being assembled. The closure speed was extremely fast, and within a few breaths, the interior had turned pitch black.

Before he could see anything at all, Alan reached out to catch Lucy in case the two of them got lost in the darkness. However, he was overthinking it. Just as his eyes darkened, yellow rays of light lit up the ground. The yellow light moved like a wandering dragon on the metal platform, forming a dense pattern with loose edges. All of the patterns pointed to the elevator in the middle, and both sides of it were closing.

"Let's go!" Shouted Alan, pulling Lucy towards the elevator.

However, the cube closed the door a step faster than them and slid down. Alan and Lucy looked at each other and nodded heavily before jumping into the square elevator shaft. After the two of them landed, the gap in the top immediately closed. Yan Si was tightly sewn, and there were no traces on the ground.

"Are you alright?"

In the elevator shaft, Alan was grabbing onto a metal bracket on the wall. On both sides of the wall, there was a flickering light source embedded from top to bottom. It wasn't difficult for them to see that this elevator shaft was at least ten to twenty meters deep.

Lucy also hung on another bracket and took a deep breath. "Looks like we have to slide down."

This cubic elevator was unlike any other, with a cable hanging down. There are two metal grooves on each of the four walls of the elevator shaft. There are some moving parts on both sides of the groove. Looks like its lifting is driven by the parts inside the groove. The two of them have no ropes to slide in the elevator shaft, so they have to do it themselves. Alan pulled out the descent cord from his backpack, tied it to Chiyo, nailed Chiyo into the wall, and slid down with Lucy.

Fortunately, the length of the descent cord was enough to allow the two of them to reach the sky above the cube. Allen jumped onto the cube and swung the long rope, shaking Qianjun out of the wall. Qianjun whistled down, and Alan reached out to receive it. There was no need to remove the weight in any other way than by feeling a slight burden on the hand.

After absorbing the blood energy of the Saber Demons on the snowy plains, Allen's basic strength increased by a lot.

"There's an exhaust port here." Said Lucy, taking off an air filter to reveal a dark passage.

Alan walked over and took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack to take a look inside. After the exhaust pipe extended three to four meters forward, a turning point appeared. "It doesn't look like a relic," he said. "It's more like a military base."

She lifted Lucy up and let the girl get in first. Alan followed behind her, crawling through the exhaust pipe. "Remember when we went to peek at Aisha?" Lucy said in front of her. "It's the same kind of exhaust pipe."

"It wasn't your idea," Alan laughed. "I bet Aisha noticed us."

"So what if we find out? Oh. Don't talk. There's an exit here."

Lucy stopped. The girl took off the screen in front of her, peeked out her head, and retracted her gaze. "There's a passage down there. It's very dark. I can't see where it leads to."

"I'll go down first." Said Alan.

Lucy retreated to the side and let Alan get out first. He landed gently on the ground and looked left and right. It was indeed a passageway. Judging from the direction of the exhaust pipe just now, there should be an entrance to the outside cube behind them. As for the front, it was hard to say. On the ceiling of this passageway, there was a ball of dim red light every three meters. It looked like an emergency passageway.

The walls on both sides were made of metal. This wasn't strange on Earth, but it looked very different on Nether Domain. As far as Allen knew about Saber Demons, they rarely built metal buildings. Moreover, the passageway was neat and concise, and it was very different from the style of the Saber Demon that was heading towards the primitive tribes. Lucy followed and looked at the passageway and said, "It's like occupying someone else's nest."

"Maybe we're in an underground base." Alan whispered as he carried Qianjun forward.

Just a few steps away, the lights of the passageway suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire passageway with snow-white light. In this way, Allen could see the end of the passageway more than ten meters away. At the end, an automatic door was opening. Only then did a crack appear in the door. Immediately, an active light shone, followed by a buzzing sound as a beam of light shot over.

Qianjun pressed down, and the dark heavy saber slashed the beam of light apart. A fireball appeared in the passageway. The shockwaves and heat caused by the explosion made Alan frown, "Be careful, they also have gunmen."

Two Saber Fiends with Beast Skull Beam Spear ran out. They shouted "Invaders" and opened fire on Allen and the others. Bright red beams of light flew through the passageway, and both Alan and Lucy rushed towards the enemy at full speed. Alan's heavy saber moved, creating a black wall of sabers to protect himself and Lucy. The two of them continued to move, pushing forward in a Z-shape, making it difficult for the other party to grasp their positions.

As he got closer, Allen raised his saber and wanted to chop the Saber Demon in front of him into pieces with his spear. "Don't destroy their guns!" Lucy shouted from behind.

The young girl suddenly flashed by Alan's side, attracting the attention of another Saber Demon.

Hearing her words, Allen's blade slightly tilted and missed the beam gun in the enemy's hand. The heavy saber landed on the Saber Demon's shoulder. A dense sound of fractures could be heard as the Saber Demon's shoulder caved in. Qian Jun suddenly knocked horizontally on the side of his head, causing half of the Saber Demon's face to sink into the ground and his seven holes to bleed to death.

On the other side, after Lucy had tricked the Saber Demon with her clever movements, Golden Rose immediately returned the favor and made a bullet hole between his eyebrows. The Saber Demon's head was shot by her and her body slipped to the ground. Lucy reached out and grabbed the beam gun in her hand. She put away the golden rose and groped her hands on the beam gun.

At this moment, another group of Saber Demons ran out of the automatic door. They all charged over with their sabers and axes in their hands. Alan shook Qianjun and wanted to welcome him. Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from behind him, piercing through the five or six Saber Demons in front of him. The remaining two were so frightened that their movements froze, allowing Alan to take the opportunity to stick them on. Qianjun swept across, and two more corpses appeared on the ground. Then he turned around and said, "You know how to use their weapons?"

Lucy shook the beam gun in her hand and smiled. "What's so difficult about it? Although it's different in shape, the basic principle isn't the same. Call big sister and I'll teach you how to use it!"

'"Since when are you showing off?" Ellen said angrily.

After he finished speaking, he carried Qianjun into the automatic door. After a few miserable screams, the three remaining Saber Demons in the door were all ambushed and executed. Lucy picked up another beam gun and drilled in. "Where is this?" She said.

"It's similar to a sentry post. Look, there's a monitoring system here." Alan stood in front of a wall. The wall was projecting the image of an outside passage. They should have been discovered like this.
