Chapter 577 Last Resort

May.

Several years had passed since Li Cheng Yi arrived in Anze. His development of the Shadow Dragon Prison had finally reached its final stage.

The so-called eighty-one Dragon Prison count had been mostly opened by him in a blind box fashion, releasing prisoners in the form of his primordial spirit.

And now, the development of the Dragon Prison was finally coming to an end.

Inside the Shadow Dragon Prison.

Gloomy shadows were everywhere, enveloping everything within the Dragon Prison.

Li Cheng Yi floated in the darkness. Having stayed here for a long time, he gradually figured out the structure of the entire Dragon Prison.

This place was like a giant Rubik's Cube. Each small cell was a cage for imprisoning a prisoner.

And now, he had explored most of the prisons.

Next was the remaining core area, also the most dangerous area here.

It housed the most powerful prisoners in the Dragon Prison, and those who had been imprisoned for the longest time.

'I still haven't found Pan En and the others. It seems they should have entered a deeper place, or there are other entrances and exits here, and they have left with help.'

Li Cheng Yi thought to himself.

Without hesitation, he flew forward. Not knowing the situation in the space ahead, he dared not teleport rashly.

Inward.

Inward.

He flew inward for a distance of about several thousand kilometers.

Suddenly, a new layer of invisible membrane blocked his path.

'Is this the boundary of the cage?'

Li Cheng Yi reached out and gently touched it.

Smooth, cold, and soft.

The golden sword instantly appeared in his hand and stabbed forward fiercely.

*Pfft.*

The blade actually slid past from the side.

The membrane in front of him was unharmed.

'What high strength.' Li Cheng Yi praised in his heart, and added another layer of force.

*Pfft!*

A golden sword light flashed, but the membrane was still undamaged.

This time, Li Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly. He had already exerted his full strength in his normal state.

At this time, even a True Fire expert, or a medium-level deity in this world, would not dare to face this blow head-on.

In his normal state, he could already judge that his overall strength had reached the peak level of a medium deity.

If he added various Flower Language enhancements, his strength would increase even more.

But even so, he still couldn't break the membrane in front of him.

'It seems that pure lethality still needs to be improved...' He pondered, determining which of his many Flower Language abilities was suitable for the current situation.

Unfortunately, Li Cheng Yi suddenly discovered that among all his Flower Language abilities, there were actually few that directly enhanced lethality.

Only the Fortress passive enhancement, and Radiance Flash, used his own strength as a basic unit to amplify the multiple.

Besides that, the Heaven's Mandate Inevitable Blade was an auxiliary effect, and its lethality was not as good as the Yin Canon and Thousand Faces Sword Canon.

'Then... I can only use the Tempered Blade.'

According to previous tests, the tempered blade didn't last long, but its power had completely surpassed that of a medium deity, reaching a higher level, so it was just right to use it at this time.

Holding the sword in one hand, a golden sword shadow suddenly appeared on Li Cheng Yi's blade, and the two merged into one.

*Chi!!*

In an instant, a brilliant and dazzling golden sword light instantly reflected on the invisible membrane.

*Crack.*

A faint crack appeared in front of Li Cheng Yi.

Taking this opportunity, his body flashed rapidly, turning into smoke and flying into it.

The convenience of the primordial spirit body was here.

As soon as he flew into the crack, Li Cheng Yi immediately sensed a familiar wave coming from a distance.

This wave made his spirit shake.

'It's the Flower Language Orb! It's Pan En and the others!'

After searching for so long, he finally saw some movement. However, although the wave was sensed, it was faint, as if it were extremely far away.

Li Cheng Yi simply didn't bother to fuss. He put on the purple-black Wisteria Scale Armor. The pure purple slender armor was covered with delicate and gorgeous purple crystal light paths, and dark golden wisteria flowers were evenly distributed throughout the armor like clouds.

The front of the helmet had undergone considerable changes. At the center of his brow, a pair of sharp black V-shaped blades protected the front of his forehead and face.

The mouth and nose were also sealed and protected by some kind of dark golden filter device. Only two pure purple diamond-shaped crystals were embedded in the position of his eyes.

The most exaggerated thing was that behind the armor, countless black smoke faintly volatilized automatically with his movements.

Li Cheng Yi reached out and touched the black smoke, and found that it was completely illusory and could not touch any entity.

But the black smoke faintly dyed the surrounding space into the same color as himself.

This was the Shadow Dragon Prison, which was already black, so it was difficult to identify.

But in his perception, he could clearly feel that the black smoke of the Flower Scale Armor was gradually dyeing the surrounding space into something with the same aura as himself.

'The Flower God Armor's extremely evil primordial soil pollution? Fortunately, it's a super miniature version...' Li Cheng Yi thought solemnly.

Since merging with the Flower God Armor, many of his things had been affected and changed greatly.

He moved his Flower Scale Armor and moved forward quickly, approaching in the direction he sensed.

Gradually, in the far distance ahead, there actually appeared planets of various colors and sizes.

The planets were only the size of sesame seeds at first, but as Li Cheng Yi moved at high speed, they quickly magnified and became larger and larger.

Until they completely occupied all his vision, turning into a real, huge planet with a diameter of at least tens of thousands of kilometers.

Li Cheng Yi was shocked. This place actually had space objects like planets.

And strangely, these planets, a total of seven, were constantly rotating around a scorching fireball in the middle.

Compared to the size of the planets, Li Cheng Yi's body had shrunk to the point where it was far smaller than a sesame seed.

In front of huge objects, his figure was like dust, insignificant.

'The innermost part of this prison is actually a closed starry sky!?' At this time, he vaguely understood that Pan En and the others entered here because they probably knew that there were habitable planets here.

On the seven planets, Li Cheng Yi swept his consciousness across and roughly sensed them.

Soon, he discovered that Pan En's wave was coming from the fifth planet.

With a long-distance shadow leap, he suddenly disappeared into the air, and when he reappeared, he was already on that planet.

Barren yellow sand stretched to the end of the horizon.

The sun was scorching hot, baking the brilliant golden desert below.

*Chi.*

With a soft sound, Li Cheng Yi's purple-black figure appeared on the sand dune in the blink of an eye, looking around.

'No one!?' The face under his helmet frowned tightly.

Pan En's wave was here, but...

"What are you looking for, Your Excellency?"

Suddenly, an old voice suddenly rang out from behind Li Cheng Yi.

He turned around abruptly, and the black smoke on his Flower Scale Armor surged, dyeing the surrounding space into a gray-black color.

Behind him, a tall old man in a red robe with a red cross pattern between his eyebrows, with his hands behind his back, floated in the air. His white hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and his dark eyes showed an empty and indifferent expression.

"Are you a prisoner here?" Li Cheng Yi couldn't see through the old man, and his attitude was inevitably cautious.

"Prisoner? I guess so." The old man responded, "Many people call me the Red God. Red is the color of blood, the color of destruction and harm, but also the color of life..."

"You look very strong." Li Cheng Yi praised, "I have rescued many poor prisoners trapped here. No matter what crimes they have committed, being imprisoned in this dark place should be enough to atone for them."

"Is that so? Then why did you draw your sword and attack as soon as you came in?" The old man frowned and asked.

"Because some prisoners have gone crazy after being imprisoned for so long. They may attack everyone indiscriminately, so I'm just protecting myself. It's nothing to take out a weapon, right?" Li Cheng Yi smiled.

"But why is the armor on your body completely and permanently eroding the space environment here?" The old man asked again.

"That's because my natural physique is not suitable for the environment here, so I made a little modification to make it suitable for me to move freely. Look, I only modified a little area around me, and it didn't affect a larger area, did it?" Li Cheng Yi explained.

"There's another question." The old man continued, "Why is there still a strong bloody aura on your body? Only those who have recently killed powerful life forms will be stained with such a bloody aura."

Li Cheng Yi's heart shuddered. This guy was indeed the Red God. He could even sense this.

"That's because... there are wars raging outside, and the war between gods is breaking out. In order to protect these innocent and pitiful prisoners, I have clashed with the existence outside."

He sighed.

"Actually, I don't want to either. Killing is not what I want. Many times, I'm just trying to protect myself..."

"You are truly a kind and honest Highness." The Red God's expression softened slightly, as if he really believed the other party's words.

"In that case, how about I help Your Excellency the Red God break free from this dark prison?" Li Cheng Yi suggested.

"Thank you very much for your kindness." A smile finally appeared on the Red God's face.

"Then what about the other existences here? While I still have some strength, why don't we come out together and take everyone away?" Li Cheng Yi continued.

"Others, there are no others here. Besides some small bugs, there are no existences of the same level as me. So, you only need to help me leave here, that's all..."

The Red God replied.

"Only you? That's great... Hehe. By the way, because helping you open the gap to leave will cause great losses, so..." The face in Li Cheng Yi's helmet slowly became strange.

"So what?" The Red God asked.

"So, it needs..."

*Clang!!*

In an instant, with a soft sound, Li Cheng Yi didn't know when he had flashed behind the other party, and a golden sword light slashed diagonally.

Accompanied by the sound that spread in his consciousness.

The old man suddenly reached out and pinched the golden sword.

*Boom!!*

Between the two people's fingers and the blade, circles of majestic black and red smoke exploded.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?" The Red God's expression changed slightly, and with a flick of his hand, he threw Li Cheng Yi dozens of kilometers away.

The Instant Prison sword move just now didn't seem to have caused him any harm.

At this time, Li Cheng Yi, wearing the Flower Scale Armor, was six times stronger in both speed and strength than his normal state!

This was the amplification brought by the Wisteria Flower Scale Armor, but even the Instant Prison sword in this state was still blocked by the other party.

"Don't worry, I'm just testing your strength a little. After all, once we go out, we may encounter a large number of divine assassinations. If your strength is too weak, I'm afraid you won't survive a single encounter." Li Cheng Yi stabilized his body and answered calmly.

"Then have you tested it now?" The Red God's expression turned cold.

"Of course... not!"

In an instant, black light flashed. Once again, Li Cheng Yi appeared beside the Red God, holding double swords in his hands, slashing out dense and storm-like golden sword lights.

The sword light brought up the surrounding fine particles, rolled up special halos similar to sword wind, and pounced on the Red God head-on.

The Red God raised his hand and wanted to pinch the blade as before, but a strange sense of threat instantly moved his heart, and he immediately retreated, narrowly avoiding the sword light.

Just at this moment, he suddenly noticed that a golden light flashed on Li Cheng Yi's body. In an instant, the speed and power of the golden sword light skyrocketed.

A terrifying sword speed exceeding thirty times the speed of sound, combined with the huge force after the terrifying amplification, delivered a terrifying heavy blow of millions of tons in this instant.

The golden sword light, with an indescribable and dazzling golden light, accelerated to catch up, and slashed directly in the center of the Red God's chest.

A bloody light appeared. He wanted to continue to retreat, but an invisible layer of overlapping networks firmly stuck him for a moment, delaying the retreat speed by one-hundredth of a second.

When top experts fight, such a short moment can create a huge difference in the final victory or defeat.

*Tear!*

A sound of sword blade cutting flesh exploded.
