The words had barely fallen when her expression drastically changed.
"He's here again!"
Again?
Lin Rong looked at her with curiosity.
The woman said, "I sensed your auras. You are very powerful, so I ask for your help."
*Whoosh!*
Lin Rong and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
The woman had stated her request and her purpose. It felt like a layer of mist had cleared, revealing a part of the truth.
At least they weren't completely clueless anymore.
"Please, tell us!" Lin Rong said.
Lin Fan echoed, "We will help as much as we can."
The two of them didn't dare to speak with absolute certainty, leaving a sliver of room.
The woman's eyes flashed with surprise.
She stood up and pushed open the door.
Outside was utter darkness, seemingly the same place they had been before.
The woman pointed outside and said, "Beyond this door is a world of darkness. Did you hear my screams?"
After speaking, she revealed the scars on her arm.
Lin Rong and the other nodded quickly.
They had indeed followed the sound to find the woman.
The woman let out a wry smile, her eyes flickering with memories.
"Outside this door, there is a Demon God!"
"This Demon God feeds on the suffering of all beings, and I am the food he has penned here."
"And you, you are his reserve food."
As the words fell, a chill shot up Lin Rong and Lin Fan's spines.
Demon God?
Was this not a fragment of the Black Heaven Realm?
How could these myriad realms hold so many secrets?
He was confident in his invincibility at the Golden Immortal level.
But facing this bizarre Demon God, he had almost no way to cope.
At the very least, he couldn't dispel this darkness.
Lin Yu also fell into deep thought.
His understanding seemed to be flawed.
There were always greater powers beyond what he knew.
He sighed.
Lin Fan, upon hearing this, roared, "You brought us here to be food for that Demon God?"
It was no wonder he was angry.
He had actually developed a bit of fondness for the woman earlier.
He had even considered saving her life, only to discover her insidious intentions.
Lin Rong interrupted Lin Fan's outburst.
He directly asked, "What do you want?"
The woman was silent for a moment before speaking, "You are very powerful!"
Suddenly, her expression twisted, and her voice became hoarse.
"I want you to help me kill the Demon God. Only then can we be free! Otherwise, we can only be his food and inevitably face death."
She looked at Lin Rong and the other with expectant eyes.
These were the strongest individuals she had encountered here in countless years.
While Golden Immortals had explored this place before, they were all too weak, unable to withstand even a single blow from the Demon God.
"Main body, what should we do?"
The three discussed in the sea of consciousness.
Lin Yu said, "Agree to her!"
Lin Fan nodded, "Since we won't truly die, what's the harm in agreeing?"
Lin Rong also concurred.
They would agree for now and see what she intended to do.
They had been investigating the divine hall for so long, and only here, from the woman, had they gained some information.
If they fell out with her, they didn't know when they would find new clues.
Exiting the discussion.
Lin Rong said, "I agree!"
A hint of joy appeared on the woman's face.
She stepped out and walked into the darkness, vanishing instantly.
However, her voice reached them, indicating she was still nearby.
This darkness was too strange; light could not dispel it. Stepping into it was like being covered by black cloth, rendering everything invisible.
"I must go. He is coming to take away my pain!"
With that, her voice faded and was no longer heard.
Lin Rong and Lin Fan gazed at the pitch-black outside.
Lin Fan said, "Lin Rong, this place is truly peculiar."
Lin Rong nodded, "Indeed, it's incredibly strange. A room in a divine hall within complete darkness, and it's the woman's boudoir. What is her origin?"
They had no idea.
"Ah~~~"
From outside the door, a piercing scream echoed.
The sound seemed distant, yet they heard it clearly.
Lin Yu pointed outside and whispered, "Big Brother, isn't this Demon God too perverted?"
"Yes, very perverted!" Lin Yu said.
Lin Rong said, "Lin Fan, don't just stand there. Search the room and see if there's anything valuable."
Lin Fan slapped his forehead.
"Hehe, you always think of everything!"
The two immediately began to search.
In a short while, they had finished.
But they found nothing suspicious.
Lin Rong waved his hand, restoring everything to its original state.
"It seems we'll have to rely on the woman herself to reveal the truth."
"This place is too bizarre. I suspect that Demon God is not a Da Luo realm cultivator, but an ultimate Golden Immortal."
Ultimate Golden Immortal, a being superior to Golden Immortals.
Lin Yu also nodded.
Suddenly, the screams ceased.
*Creak.*
The door was pushed open.
The woman walked in, her face deathly pale.
Her complexion was bloodless, and blood dripped from her arm.
"I am subjected to torture twice a day!"
"Here, I cannot die! Time seems to have frozen."
Her words explained the secret of her three million years of existence.
Lin Fan and Lin Rong exchanged glances, seeing understanding in each other's eyes.
Lin Fan asked, "How should we help you?"
Lin Rong added, "We are also trapped here. Since we all wish to leave, don't hold back."
The woman fell silent.
After a long while, she nodded.
She tapped the floor of the boudoir, and a large hole appeared in the ground.
Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise.
"How did I not notice this mechanism just now?"
The woman glared at him.
But she still explained, "Only I can open this place, and this boudoir is my cave-heaven treasure."
Lin Rong and the others understood but didn't delve further.
As avatars, they weren't afraid of death, but they wanted to see the truth before dying.
"Let's go!"
The woman jumped down, and Lin Rong and the other followed closely.
The woman glanced at them following her, a flicker of emotion in her eyes.
How much trust did it take to believe a stranger like her?
In her long existence, this was the first time she had encountered such a thing.
They leaped into the pit. It was still pitch black all around.
However, the woman seemed to have a special method for sensing direction.
Lin Fan asked, "Where are we going?"
The woman pointed forward.
"To kill the Demon God!"
Lin Fan, upon hearing this, was not alarmed but delighted.
"Hehe, fighting is good. It's much better than wandering aimlessly in the darkness."
Her excitement stunned the woman.
This was the first time she had met someone like him, but the situation was urgent, so she didn't overthink it.
Meeting Lin Fan and the other was her opportunity.
If she failed to kill the Demon God this time, she didn't know what she would do.
She glanced at them.
She thought to herself, If we fail, the Demon God will probably spare them, and I'll have two companions then.
Suddenly!
Snoring sounds came from ahead.
*Snore, snore~*
Lin Fan whispered, "Is that the Demon God?"
They couldn't see the Demon God, but they could hear the sounds.
The woman nodded.
"Yes, that is the Demon God. After each feeding, he falls into a deep sleep. I will transmit his true form to you!"
"And all the information I have gathered. Remember it all. If we can't win the battle later, you must find a way to let him kill you, otherwise, you will be like me, never to be free!"
"Okay!"
Suddenly.
The woman lunged fiercely into the darkness, towards the source of the snoring.
"Demon God, die!"
