Eternal Demon Lord

Chapter 964 River of Darkness
The City of Destiny has existed for a long time. It can be traced back to the age of ancient mythology. It can be called the largest city in ancient and modern times.

The entire city is filled with faint white clouds and mist, like a city in a fairyland, solemn, vast, mysterious, and full of thick mystery.

Qingshi Square is located in the center of the city.

Outside the square, the streets are spacious and extend in all directions, stretching all the way for tens of millions of miles.

On both sides of the street, all kinds of buildings are connected together, either antique, majestic, solemn, or resplendent.

There are inns, restaurants, teahouses, casinos, brothels, etc., and so on.

Outside some buildings, there are guards standing guard.

These guards, dressed in black armor, were lifeless. They looked like well-trained puppet soldiers, exuding a cold murderous aura from their bodies, which made it impossible to underestimate them.

Walking out of Qingshi Square all the way, Yang Xuan randomly found a restaurant, led Yan Ruyue and others over there.

However, before they entered the restaurant, they were stopped by a black-armored puppet standing outside.

This black-armored puppet also has a black armored stomach covering its face, only revealing two sharp eyes with faint red light, and the movement of the eyes is breathtaking.

"Why, why don't you let me eat?"

Yang Xuan frowned.

"The restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, etc. in the City of Destiny all belong to the temple and are only open to people with more than five hundred lives."

The black-armored puppet said coldly, without any emotion in his words.

"It takes lives to eat?"

Yang Xuan was surprised.

"Yes, whether it's eating, lodging, or other services, everything will consume life. I advise you to do tasks to increase your life. Otherwise, your life will be extinguished in half a day."

"The fire of fate will be extinguished in half a day!"

Tuoba Yun turned pale with shock.

He understood that even if he didn't do anything in the city of destiny, he would be in danger of dying.

"Fate Fire, also known as the Fire of Life, in the city, time flows extremely fast, so your Fate Fire will appear, and while burning, your life vitality will continue to be lost."

The black armored puppet said coldly.

"Dare to burn with the fire of life, it is fueled by our vitality!"

Tuobayun yelled loudly, no matter how hard it was for the others to keep calm when they heard what the black-armored puppet said.

Yang Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he asked: "The stronger the vitality of life, the longer you can live?"

"Of course, just like you, your vitality is very strong, even if you don't do the task, you can live for three to five days."

Hearing this, Yang Xuan was speechless for a while.

The black-armored puppet said again: "Life vitality is the foundation of life fire, and fate is the only condition to ensure that life fire burns. In short, the more life you have, the longer you can live."

"Thank you for telling me."

Yang Xuan cupped his fists and said to everyone, "Go, let's go to the task."

After finishing speaking, he asked again, "How to get to the river of darkness?"

"To the north, go all the way to the end."

The black armor puppet said.

Yang Xuan didn't answer, and immediately set off with everyone to the north.

Along the way, Yang Xuan also secretly took note of many buildings, and a few palaces in these buildings are the mission locations of certain missions.

For example, Yan Luodian, which happens to be located in the north of the city.

The entire palace occupies a huge area, full of everything, and there are teams of black-armored puppets standing outside the palace.

"What a hell hall!"

Yang Xuan sighed secretly, and was not in a hurry to break through the barrier, but kept speeding up and flew to the north of the city.

Yan Ruyue and the others followed him along the road, and after about half an hour, a huge and turbulent black river suddenly appeared in the distance.

The black river flows from east to west, like a ferocious black dragon, dividing the northern boundary of the city into two. On the opposite side of the river, many buildings have been corroded by a large amount of black mist.

"The River of Darkness!"

No need to think too much, everyone knows that this black river is the river of darkness.

"What's going on, why is there such an evil river in the world of eternal life!?"

Tuobayun gasped, not to mention he couldn't figure it out, even Yang Xuan couldn't figure it out, this river of darkness appeared too abruptly, and it was incompatible with the city of destiny full of fairy spirit.

It's like a puddle of sewage inexplicably appearing on a piece of white paper, and it's like a person who was originally healthy suddenly develops a sickness in his body, which can't be eliminated no matter what, it's so weird.

"The river of darkness is a forbidden place, and the idlers should retreat quickly."

At this moment, a group of hundreds of black-armored puppets, led by a tall and unusually tall black-armored puppet, walked towards Yang Xuan and the others.

"We're here for a mission."

Yang Xuan said to the black-armored puppet who took the lead.

"Do the task?"

The black-armored puppet who took the lead froze for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's okay to do the task, but you need to do what you can. Remember, don't go to the other side of the river, let alone go deep into the river of darkness."

"Why is this?"

Tuoba Yun asked.

"The River of Darkness originates from the Dark Realm. It is an extremely terrifying Yin River. There are many great horrors in this river. Among other things, those high-level dark beasts alone are beyond your ability to deal with."

"Thanks for letting me know, we will be careful."

Yang Xuan thanked the other party, then greeted everyone, and strode towards the dark river.

As expected of the Yin River, the Yin Qi it emits is extremely strong, even worse than that of the Huangquan River.

"What the hell, if I hadn't been to Huangquan River, I would have thought this was the real Huangquan River."

Tuobayun shouted, this dark river is too weird, it is so gloomy that it makes people want to turn around and leave.

"Don't even mention it, the Huangquan River might originate from this river."

Yang Xuan said casually.

"real or fake!?"

Tuoba Yun's eyelids twitched wildly.

"Very likely, who can say that the water in this river has never overflowed."

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's withdraw as soon as possible. I always feel that we have been targeted by something."

As soon as Tuobayun finished speaking, the river in front of him suddenly exploded, and a giant beast with pitch-black scales all over its body rushed out of it.

The giant beast was several meters in size, with fangs and mouth, and wings on its back. As soon as it came out, it waved its sharp claws and roared towards Yang Xuan and the others. It was so fast that even Sikong Ao couldn't help but change color.

"Dark Beast, it seems that the level is not low, but you can only be considered unlucky if you meet me."

Yang Xuanyi was not afraid, and raised his hand to shoot out a golden flame. After hearing a miserable howl, the attacking giant beast died, and was burned into flying ash by the real fire of the sun.

"I forgot, your boy's sun is really hot, it is the nemesis of this kind of evil thing."

Tuobayun suddenly realized, but he was not so frightened anymore.

Yang Xuan didn't say a word. After killing the dark beast, a message came from his mind.

"If you kill a mid-level dark beast, you will be rewarded with [-] hit points."
