Li Mo took this chance to run.
Li Mo ran as fast as he could and found the bruised and battered Ye Li and Ji. He grabbed one in each arm and ran.
Fortunately, the Lich King was affected and the zombies stopped moving. Only when Li Mo was out of their encirclement did they start moving again.
Ji's heart skipped a beat, "These zombies are terrifying. My Sacred Light Art can't kill them all."
"They aren't real undead, just puppets. It's normal to not be able to kill them."
The zombies were connected to the Lich King. As long as the Lich King didn't die, they would never die.
Li Mo was fast and soon disappeared into the black maelstrom.
Whoosh ~
When Li Mo stepped into the black vortex, the world went silent.
They were now in an independent space, free from the zombies. From the looks of things, they were safe …
Li Mo placed Ye Li and Ji on the ground, gasping for breath.
Li Mo was also hurt. If not for his scripture affecting the Lich King, the three of them would've been dead.
"If it's really him, then this world …"
Li Mo shook his head.
Li Mo had an inkling of a possibility, but it was too preposterous, so preposterous that he couldn't believe it.
But if it wasn't the case, then why did the Lich King's movements freeze after hearing the scripture?
And that familiar feeling …
"Perhaps it's just a facade …"
"Ji, tell me everything you know about heroes."
"Heroes are the most powerful force in this world. Every hero is unique.
Currently, only the overlords of the five major galaxies have heroes. The other forces don't have any. "
"Big Dipper, Mara, Heavenly King, Desolate, and Strange Beasts. Of the Five Galaxies, the Desolate and Strange Beasts are the strongest. Not only do they have many ninth level talents, they also have two heroes.
"The only hero I know of is the Dark Worm King of the Mara Galaxy. It has an endless ability to reproduce, and no one can break through its defense. All of its offspring inherit its characteristics. It can reproduce a huge army of over a hundred million in just ten minutes."
Ji Ye told him everything he knew about the Hero.
"Dark Insect King."
Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.
He thought of another familiar name.
"Welcome to the Dark Palace."
An ancient voice came from afar.
The three of them followed the source of the voice. In front of a huge black door filled with black gas, they saw an old man in a white robe.
In terms of physique, this old man was almost no different from a human. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice the difference. This old man's skin was as smooth as a baby's. If it weren't for his white hair and the vicissitudes of life in his eyes, it would be difficult to tell that he was an old man.
"Comparing people with snow?"
Li Mo was startled.
The old man in front of him was not human, he was a snow person.
The snow people remained in puberty throughout their lives and only aged rapidly when they were nearing death. The old man in front of them was clearly in the stage of rapid decay.
"Human, have you seen other snow people?" The elder asked with a smile.
"I have two snow people servants." Li Mo spoke the truth.
The elder smiled, "Serving other races is the way of us snow people."
"Greetings. My master is the master of the Dark Palace, the greatest existence in this world. I am her most loyal servant, Mi Te."
Mi Te had the air of a nobleman as he bowed.
"Allow me to introduce you to this place."
"This is the Dark Hall. It was specially constructed by my master for the sake of testing the experts of this world. In this Dark Hall, one can obtain a total of thirty-six Divine Contracts. After so many years, nine of them have already been taken."
"Every time a Divine Contract is taken, the Dark Hall's difficulty will double. However, at the same time, the quality of the Divine Contract obtained will also increase."
Ji was stunned. "Nine God's Contracts. If that's the case, there should be nine heroes in this world, but there are only seven heroes in the five galaxies. Who has the other two heroes?"
"That is a secret. I am only a guide for the Dark Palace. I will only tell you part of the Dark Palace's situation. As for the whereabouts of the God's Contracts, I cannot tell you."
"There is no limit to the number of people who can enter the Dark Palace, but there is a time limit. The longest you can stay is one year. You will be kicked out if you exceed that time limit."
"Moreover, entering the Dark Palace requires a certain amount of spiritual qi."
Mi Te took out three black vials and handed them to the three.
"Go hunt the living and harvest their soul power. When you fill these vials, come to me and exchange them for a chance to enter the Dark Palace."
Li Mo's group was stunned.
Ji asked, "Can't we just go in?"
"No. This is the Dark Palace's rule. Only those with enough spiritual qi can enter the Dark Palace."
"How many lives do we need to kill to fill this tiny vial with spiritual qi?"
"That depends on how strong they were when they were alive. The stronger they were, the more spiritual qi they have. If we are only hunting ordinary lives, we'll need at least a million."
"It's as simple as forcing people to kill." Ji was shocked, "No wonder there are so few heroes in this world …"
"These are nothing. This is the real deal."
Mi Te took out a huge black vial the size of a man and placed it before the three.
Li Mo's group of three's tiny bottles were like ants in front of this giant bottle.
Ji was shocked, "How many lives do we need to kill to fill it?"
"I've never counted. But from the day the Dark Palace was born until now, no challenger has ever filled this vial."
"But the benefits of filling this vial are obvious. With this vial, there is no limit to the number of people who can enter. With this vial, you can bring as many people as you want."
"Moreover, using this vial to enter the Dark Palace will grant you two years of challenge time."
Ye Li glanced at the Door of Darkness behind Mitt. Suddenly, she stepped forward and extended her hand.
But the Dark Door didn't budge.
Mi Te smiled, "This door can only be opened by consuming soul power. This is also why you need to collect spiritual qi."
Ye Li unsheathed her sword and placed it on Mitt's neck. "Open the door and let us in!" she said viciously.
