Purgatory Artist-Chapter 266: Night Walking

[You're dead]

[You're dead]

[You're dead]

[You've discovered an unsurpassable abyss, your EXP has increased]

[You're dead]

[You're dead]

[...]

At the end of the plain.

Liu Ping stood at the edge of the cliff, gazing into the distance.

The distance was shrouded in darkness.

This seemed to be the end of the world, he couldn't see anything in front of him.

He looked down again.

Below him was a bottomless abyss, so he couldn't see what was at the bottom either.

Liu Ping picked up a rock and threw it down.

After a long while.

No sound came.

He sighed, sat down at the edge of the cliff, and silently thought.

The Thread of Fate pointed straight to the other side of the cliff.

— — -it was the direction of Mech city.

But he couldn't cross it at all.

"Fool, with me dying for you, you don't need to consider the danger at all. Just fly forward and you'll be able to return, why are you still hesitating?" the panda plushie mocked him.

"That's not the problem, I'm afraid of being trapped by something" Liu Ping replied.

The panda plushie went silent.

That's right.

I'm not afraid of death, I'm only afraid of being trapped.

Suddenly.

Liu Ping sensed something and looked up.

Only to see an evil creature in the sky. It went through the thick layer of clouds and fell towards the Eternal Night.

— — -this was most likely an evil creature that had just died in Purgatory.

Its consciousness was still a bit hazy, so it didn't do anything in the air and simply let its soul-forged body fall towards the bottom of the cliff.

Right as it was about to reach the bottom, it suddenly noticed Liu Ping standing at the edge of the cliff.

" Human ... "

The evil creature unconsciously muttered.

It suddenly regained its senses, its body trembled, then hovered a few hundred meters away from the cliff in the darkness.

A powerful presence exuded from its body.

" Let's eat this guy's soul first, then think of a way to survive ... "

The evil creature licked its lips.

At the very next moment.

From the depths of the cliff, strips of crimson flesh suddenly appeared and tightly bound the evil creature.

" Bastard! "

The evil creature was both shocked and furious, its entire body gave off a sharp glow that cut through the strips of flesh.

It looked at Liu Ping and was about to fly over — — -

From the depths of the abyss, a large crimson tongue reached out and lightly touched the evil creature's body.

The evil creature was glued to the tongue.

It couldn't resist at all and fell into the darkness along with the tongue.

It disappeared in an instant.

Liu Ping stood at the edge of the cliff and retreated at an extremely slow speed.

He retreated for nearly a kilometer before he quietly changed direction and distanced himself from the cliff.

He walked and stopped.

Along the way, not a single living being could be seen.

The entire world was shrouded in darkness, barren and deathly still.

About two days later.

Liu Ping finally saw a mountain peak.

It was a mountain made entirely of black metal.

A white giant, taller than the mountain peak, was slowly walking around the mountain peak.

From time to time, the giant would reach out and gently stroke the peak of the mountain.

Every time this happened, the peak of the mountain would emit a dim light.

Lines of burning words appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:

[You've discovered a new and unknown place, and you've seen things that you've never seen before]

[Your experience points have increased]

[Attention, after two days of continuous exploration, you've leveled up again]

[All of your attributes have increased by 2 points]

[You have received a chance to enhance your skills. Please choose.]

Liu Ping said without hesitation, "Enhance the levitation technique."

Two more lines of burning text appeared:

[Your Levitation Technique has increased by another level]

[Your flying speed has increased]

Liu Ping glanced at it and continued forward.

Now he somewhat understood why Yana improved her levitation technique.

Actually, when he was on the cliff, if he had Yana's levitation technique level, he could have tried to fly forward.

After all, that kind of speed was just too fast.

Suddenly, the panda spoke up:

"Go around it, it looks too powerful."

"Huh? Since when did you start to care about my safety? "Liu Ping was surprised.

"I've already died for you 60,000 times in the past two days, at least let me catch my breath." the panda said helplessly.

Liu Ping glanced around without leaving a trace.

Behind a huge rock, a line of small words gradually floated up:

[Level 50 demon, hidden]

Liu Ping couldn't be bothered with this demon, thought for a bit and said: "Let's go up and say hello, maybe we can get some useful information."

The panda snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

Liu Ping walked towards the giant.

A line of burning text appeared:

[You've activated the Mystic Skill: Cameo Armor]

Liu Ping leaped into the air and flew towards the giant.

Across the sky.

As he got closer to the giant, he could see it more clearly.

The giant's entire body was white, because its entire body was covered with white bones like muscles, and its face had a lot more white bones than normal skulls.

When Liu Ping got closer to the giant, the giant slowly turned its head and aimed a pair of black hole-like eyes at him.

"Sorry to disturb you, there's nothing else here, you're probably the main character here." Liu Ping said.

The giant stood still and silently looked at him.

"I actually only want to know one thing — — where can I go to go around that bottomless abyss and reach the other end?" Liu Ping asked.

The giant slowly raised its hand and pointed in a direction.

Liu Ping looked in the direction it was pointing.

In that direction, not far from here, there was a river that flowed all the way into the distance.

Following the river, he looked forward.

Even further away, there seemed to be a large area of ruins.

"Thank you, goodbye, I wish you all the best" Liu Ping said.

After saying that, he sped up and flew into the distance.

A few moments later.

He landed on the ground, ran forward with all his might, and then jumped into the river!

Splash — —

There was a splash of water.

Liu Ping was nowhere to be seen.

The giant with white bones silently stood still for a while.

After an unknown amount of time.

It looked around, but didn't see any living beings.

After a few moments of silence, the giant once again circled around the black mountain.

Following that.

A powerful evil creature flew up from the ground and stood in front of the giant.

This evil creature mimicked Liu Ping's tone and spoke.

"Sorry to disturb you, there's nothing else here, you're probably the main character here."

The giant stood still and turned to look at the evil creature.

The evil creature was almost in tears as it begged:

"Relying on my ability to resist extreme poison and dreamscape, I've been struggling at death's door for a very long time, please show me the way to where the evil creatures are gathered, sir"

The giant silently looked at the evil creature, then slowly opened its mouth to reveal a strange smile.

"Sir — —"

The evil creature was a bit panicked.

A white figure flashed past.

The giant's pale white arm caught the evil creature, stuffed him into its mouth, and began to chew.

The evil creature screamed in agony.

The strange smile on the giant's face became even wider as it continued to chew on the evil creature's body.

A few moments later.

The evil creature's screams stopped.

The world once again became dead silent.

Between the giant's pale white fangs, dark red blood flowed down.

Its expression became wooden once again. It slowly moved forward and continued to walk around the mountain peak.

The black mountain occasionally gave off a faint glow.

Not too far away from the black mountain.

The river was meandering forward.

A grain of sand was mixed with the flowing water, following the weeds and pebbles as it drifted away from the black mountain.

One day and one night later.

The water flow became thin and slow.

When the grain of sand reached the shore, it suddenly turned back into Liu Ping.

[Obtained EXP] and [You're dead] kept alternating in the void of space in front of his eyes.

He stood up and walked along the river.

There was a sparse forest in front of him.

Liu Ping appeared a bit glad.

Through the forest, he could faintly see the ruins.

— — I'm not too far away from the ruins.

"Everyone"

He called out.

The Card Tome silently appeared and hovered in front of him.

A halo of alternating light and dark silently appeared above his head.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[You've activated the summoning power of 40 meters]

[You've activated the Cameo Armor]

Everything was ready.

Liu Ping spoke: "This forest isn't too big, I don't know what's inside, but I think that regardless of what it is, we should rush through it in one go"

Liu Ping said.

Yana said: "Since you're immortal right now, there's nothing wrong with giving it a try"

Hua Qingkong also said: "This forest only has a few hundred trees, we should be able to cross it in one go"

"Then let's give it a try" Liu Ping said.

"I'll go first" Yana said.

She suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping, hugged him tightly, then turned into a golden streak of light and flew towards the forest.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds!

Yana disappeared in time, turning back into a Card and returning to the Tome.

Liu Ping borrowed the momentum of her flight and continued to rush forward.

Lines of burning text appeared at an extremely fast speed:

[You're dead!]

[You're dead!]

[You're dead!]

— — just by flying over the forest, Liu Ping's death rate had increased by several times!

He was a bit surprised and couldn't help but look down at the forest below.

There was a spring in the middle of the forest, next to the spring stood a black female statue.

Her upper body was that of a human, her lower body was that of a fish, she slowly raised her head and silently stared at Liu Ping.

A huge suction force enveloped Liu Ping — — -

"[Spatial Distortion]!"

Norton shouted.

He tossed out a Card and disappeared.

The suction force instantly disappeared.

Liu Ping continued to fly forward.

The black statue uttered a few words that couldn't be heard clearly, then slowly raised her hand — — -

"Enough" Liu Ping suddenly shouted, "instead of attacking, why don't you talk to me for a bit?"

The black statue paused for a bit, but still reached out her hand.

Because of the distance, the Cameo Armor didn't take effect!

In an instant, a Card turned into a young girl.

Hua Qingkong!

She shouted: "[Illusion of Fate]!"

Countless threads erupted from her hands, weaving into a humanoid figure that looked exactly the same as Liu Ping.

At the very next moment.

Hua Qingkong turned back into a Card and flew forward with Liu Ping.

They finally made it past this forest.

Looking back.

Only to see the silk-woven fabric that looked exactly the same as Liu Ping was floating in the air, then suddenly froze into a large block of ice and slowly fell into the forest.

"The illusion can only last for one more minute, let's go" Hua Qingkong urged him.

Liu Ping stepped forward and rushed towards the ruins with all his might.

Yana once again turned into a streak of golden light and flew with him for a bit, then he accelerated at full speed and finally made it into the ruins.

Almost at the same time, a furious scream came from the forest behind them:

"It's fake! It's fake! You dared to deceive me! "

The entire forest turned snow-white.

Boundless cold air spread out in all directions, freezing the entire ruins at an extremely fast speed.
