Chapter 1125 – Between the Clouds

　　A stream of clouds cut across the dark sky above the Heavenly Kingdom, and the mountainous, gigantic broken sword became clearer and clearer in Lin Qiye and the others’ vision.

　　This huge sword stabbed up into the Heavenly Kingdom from hell, cutting a hideous gap several kilometers long in the Heavenly Kingdom’s earth, countless lava patterns flowing across the surface of the sword like a slanting volcano, and after the three of them got closer, they could even clearly see the countless angel corpses hanging from the tip of the sword.

　　”Surprisingly, a sword stabbed into heaven, back then, the strength of the demons of hell had already reached this level?”

　　An Qingyu looked at the countless angel corpses at the tip of that huge sword and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

　　”That was a divine kingdom that possessed its own divine lineage origin, strictly speaking, it was already an independent divine lineage, as many people in the world as aspire to the heavenly kingdom, there are as many people who fear the hells, to them, it’s also an alternative faith.” Lin Qiye opened his mouth and explained.

　　”Hell Origin? ……”

　　The three of them landed at the foot of the giant sword, and just as they stepped on the ground, they felt an eerie coldness gushing out from the hellish cracks around the sword.

　　At this moment, the white ashes scattered in the sky had already covered the surface of the Heavenly Kingdom into a thin veil, Lin Qiye’s lips lightly opened and murmured a verse, and a whirlwind swept all the ashes in front of the three to the sides, clearing a path to the gaping hole in hell.

　　”Let’s go.” Lin Qiye looked back at the Heavenly Kingdom that was gradually drowning in ash, “It’s time to go to hell.”

　　”…… Although I understand what you mean, it sounds a bit unlucky to hear it like that.”

　　An Qingyu spoke helplessly, walking over to the edge of the gap next to the giant sword and jumping down, Jiang’er’s figure drifting into it right along with him.

　　Lin Qiye was about to jump down, but after hesitating for a moment, he used his fingertips to color a sliver of night, leaving a message for Michael beside the gap in hell, and also took a step to leap into hell.

　　Their figures plummeted all the way down in the boundless darkness, and every now and then, broken heavenly palaces, broken flaming peaks, and countless corpses of angels and demons flew past the trio’s surroundings as if they were floating within weightless space.

　　At the junction where Heaven and Hell collided, law and order seemed to be in chaos, with the only exception of countless white ashes that hovered from Hell like a tornado and flew up to Heaven, spreading over every corner.

　　The whirlwind circled around Lin Qiye’s trio, escorting them all the way through this intersection zone, and with a flash of their bodies, they disappeared into the gaping hole of hell.

　　What they didn’t notice was that a piece of one of the ashes drifted down with the wind to a tattered angelic corpse, and the moment it touched it, it melted away like a snowflake.

　　One second, two seconds, three seconds ……

　　I don’t know how long it took, but a bizarre red meatball bulged from the center of the angel’s brow!

　　As the meatball cracked from the center, a red eye composed of countless red bugs quickly turned and looked around.

　　In the endless darkness, this weird red insect eye was opening one after another, like a red tide, gradually covering the entire sky.

　　Gusty winds whipped across the crimson earth, piles of ash were swept up, and three figures slowly fell from the air, descending into hell.

　　”This place is not quite the same as what I imagined.” An Qingyu stood on the shattered earth and looked around, under the crimson dome of the sky, a mountain peak flowing with flames was staggered in the sky, and the air was filled with the dust of death.

　　”Where is it different?”

　　”How can I say it …… doesn’t seem to be as scary as the legend?”

　　”Indeed, after all, the demons that live in hell have all died, and no matter how eerie the environment is, it’s not alive after all.”

　　Lin Qiye looked around and didn’t see a gap to the outside world within his field of vision, it seemed that the gap should be relatively narrow and hard to spot.

　　”Hell is so big, how are we going to find the gap to leave?”

　　”A little bit of searching definitely won’t work …… We need some luck.” Lin Qiye casually picked up a relatively sharp stone from the ground and tossed it in the palm of his hand, making a gesture to throw it out to decide the direction to move forward.

　　”Purely relying on luck, huh?” Jiang Er couldn’t help but speak, “In such a big place, the probability of finding a gap to get out by pointing in any direction is too slim, right?”

　　”It’s meant to be that slim.” Lin Qiye smiled faintly as a flash of golden aura instantly flashed between his palms, “The more impossible it is, the easier it is for a miracle to occur ……”

　　He closed his eyes and threw the stone between his palms, which tumbled several times on the ground and stopped after hitting a wall.

　　The tip of the stone pointed in a certain direction of hell.

　　”Let’s go, it’s in that direction.” Lin Qiye clapped his hands and a cloud of Qi tumbled out from under his feet, carrying the three of them as they rushed away into the sky.

　　The somersault cloud soared beneath the crimson dome of the sky, a piece of ash coalesced in the air, flowing like a cloud, Lin Qiye drove the cloud while maintaining the [Bard of the Sky], crashing into the roiling ash, the gusty winds surrounding the trio, not letting a single piece of ash touch their bodies.

　　As their vision was obscured by the endless ashes, the three of them were left with nothing but a grayish white before their eyes.

　　”The ashes of hell seem to be even denser than those of heaven.” An Qingyu was thoughtful, “It seems that this is where the mutation began.”

　　”When we go back, we have to report the situation here to the Heavenly Court at the first opportunity, the reappearance of Cthulu’s power is a …… thing.”

　　Halfway through his words, Lin Qiye’s pupils suddenly contracted as if he sensed something.

　　Seeing Lin Qiye come to an abrupt halt, An Qingyu was just about to open his mouth to ask a question, when the somersault cloud under his feet twisted sharply to the side, carrying him and Jiang’er around a right-angled corner instantly, and caught off-guard, An Qingyu was almost thrown directly out of the sky.

　　A few invisible threads popped out from An Qingyu’s sleeves, pulling his figure back to the somersault cloud, and the next moment a huge black hand poked out from the piece of gray cloud that the people had just progressed through, and was just a fraction of a second away from pinching them to pieces, even with the cloud!

　　An Qingyu stood up from his somersault cloud, cold sweat seeping from the corner of his forehead, “What is that thing?”

　　”I don’t know.” Having dodged a bullet, Lin Qiye’s expression, instead of relaxing, became more grave, “But …… there’s far more than one of these things in the clouds.”

　　He piloted his somersault cloud and turned around the cloud layer like a swimming snake, a black lightning bolt flew out from within the grayish-white cloud and surrounded the three Lin Qiye in the air from all directions.

　　An Qingyu barely stabilized herself on the cloud, pushed up her glasses, and fixed her eyes towards the back.

　　As those those black lightning bolts got closer and closer to the speed of the somersault clouds, their figures gradually became clearer, they were hideous monsters with flesh wings and bipods on their backs, their torsos and limbs flowing with magma-like red streaks, and each one of them was five or six meters tall.

　　Their fleshy wings flapped rapidly like the wings of a fly, and their speed was incomparably fast.
