His eyes were closed, and his mind was dark, but Lucian clearly felt that his consciousness was getting higher and higher, like a bird that had escaped from its cage and a white mist trying to embrace the blue sky, spreading there, constantly rising, looking down at the ground.
Under the siege of the seven legendary peaks, Lucian actually made such a poetic move, without exerting any defense on himself, but the ancient devils such as "hypocrisy", "arrogance", and "greed" did not seize this opportunity to attack, but looked at Lucian with a gloomy face, as if they were separated by a world from him!
When Lucian was about to be unable to sustain it, he suddenly felt that "himself" had reached a layer of soft and invisible things!
Rumble!
Lucian suddenly felt his soul shake, and the spiritual force field seemed to break through some shackles, spreading like a tide.
The surrounding gloomy sky, dark red soil, palaces made of gold, courts in the style of the Holm Kingdom, and ancient devils such as "arrogance", "hypocrisy", "abomination", and "lust" "cracked" at once, like a mirror that fell to the hard ground.
The entire ancient hell turned into tiny fragments one after another, and the void behind the fragments was a hazy world of different colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple.
These illusory lights are like thin lines, intertwined randomly, highlighting human faces, dragon faces, and devil faces from time to time...... They are either hateful, greedy, painful, or filled with uncontrollable desires.
Such a colorful and illusory world of "negative emotions" is boundless and has no end in sight, but around Lucian, they collapse into an almost substantive illusion.
The innermost part, that is, the location at Lucian's feet, is a ridiculously small planet, the surface is blue and hazy, and below the planet is a city flying in mid-air, with the magic tower towering into the sky, almost touching the blue planet.
Below the city in the sky is the chaotic reflection of Alto, the city of chants, and the capital of music.
All this is not fixed, constantly changing, like a mind with unpredictable thoughts.
Lucian did not try to explore the end of this "world", but opened his eyes and suddenly looked back, only to see that outside the other city gate of "Alto" was the canyon he had entered before, so deep that he could not see the canyon at the bottom.
In the canyon, the simple bronze gate is no longer solid, illusory, hazy, giving people a sense of transcendence and untouchability.
In front of the gate, there was a young man wearing a black double-breasted long dress, his face was handsome, his eyes were blank, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he seemed to cry but not crying, he seemed to be angry but not angry, and his right hand pressed on the bronze door that seemed to never be touched, firmly glued to it!
This is like Lucian himself!
It's just that this "Lucian" seems to be connected to the bronze gate, the same illusory haze, the same transcendent and extraordinary, difficult to touch, difficult to approach.
"Sure enough, this is a place where 'negative emotions' gather and a door to one's 'heart'. The door of desire is also the door of the soul!" Lucian turned his head with a satisfied expression and looked at the seven ancient demons that still existed around him, but this time, they were no longer Lucian's appearance, but a distorted and colorful light, which could only maintain a human form and exuded extremely rich feelings of pain, greed, and jealousy.
Of course, it is not just your own heart here, but your soul or heart by touching the "door of desire", in this "space" that seems to belong to this world but does not belong to this world, coupled with countless "negative emotions" that have been condensed, thus reflecting a bizarre "ancient hell", so the "ancient hell" that each explorer sees is different!
The real "ancient hell" is what you see now, your body is outside the door, and your soul is inside the door in some strange way, "exploring" your "heart".
The so-called ancient devil is a projection of one's own inner negative emotions and the external "ancient hell", no matter how you destroy it, it cannot be destroyed.
In most cases, legendary powerhouses have strong control over their own minds, so the number of ancient demons is basically less than four, but if they encounter special circumstances or are calculated, there will be a situation where the seven ancient demons gather step by step.
Therefore, no matter how big the heart is, how brilliant the "reality" can be, no matter how arcane or unreasonable things are, they can be "revealed"!
The "hypocritical" devil condensed by pure white light hoarse his voice and asked again: "How do you know?"
Its white light was faintly black at the bottom.
Lucian laughed: "I don't find it strange that you can simulate the effects of spells and all the magic on me, after all, all negative emotions can be amplified here, and you may be able to establish some kind of connection with the mind represented by my soul."
"Although I don't know how to build it for the time being, what is the principle, but this is something that can be understood and repeated, I have seen it elsewhere, but you can actually simulate the effect of the legendary peak item of the 'Moon Clock', you know, even I can't do it myself, a legendary peak who is good at the field of time and space can't, what do you rely on to simulate?"
"Could it be that there are seven similar space-time legendary items in the ancient hell? Could it be that there are seven souls lost here who are better at the space-time realm than mine?"
"If it's just one or two, or one or two, then there is still this possibility, but you are too greedy, this is a common trait of the devil!"
This judgment seems perfect, but Lucian himself knows very well that if he hadn't had such thoughts and speculations beforehand, how could he figure it out between lightning and flint, and how could he be sure of it?
"It's too arrogant, why can't we!" The "arrogant" devil distorted by golden light mixed with blood roared, "You are just a fluke!"
The green "jealous" devil sneered: "Don't be happy too early, so what if you know? You have now truly triggered the power of 'Ancient Hell', and sooner or later you will be corroded and infected by us and become another lost soul!"
The "hypocritical" devil also smiled chillingly: "Everyone has an ancient hell in their hearts, and there are seven ancient devils in everyone's heart, and you can never get rid of us! Even if you can escape from here now and experience the triggering just now, we still exist within you, tormenting you and corroding you in every second of your life, how long can you guard against it? The final victory will belong to us!"
"I'll turn you into a hateful monster you don't even know now!" The red "hateful" devil like a flame roared.
The seven ancient demons surrounded again, but this time, they seemed to change their attack method, each extending a thin line of different colors on their bodies, which accurately and unstoppably connected to Lucian!
Lucian faced their threats and attacks, and was not afraid to laugh back, and clapped his hands: "Well said, everyone has an 'ancient hell' in their hearts, and there are seven 'ancient devils' in everyone's heart.
Uh, the Seven Ancient Devils were stunned.
"I once heard a proverb that tells us that we only need to look at the actions shown and the true purpose of the action, and not to delve into the thoughts in that person's heart when making this action.
"Because if you explore the heart, everyone will have all kinds of dirty, dirty, and despised thoughts in their hearts." Lucian smiled self-deprecatingly, "I admit that I usually have some fantasies that are difficult to see, but in the end, they will never appear in this world because I defeated them!"
"When I do everything, I have more or less selfish, vicious, obscene, and dirty thoughts in my heart, but they were eventually restrained and overcome by me, allowing me to accomplish things with my own worldview, outlook on life and values."
Speaking of this, Lucian's expression became solemn, and he looked at the seven ancient devils and said, "My way of thinking, my philosophy of life, was gradually formed in defeating you 'ancient devils' again and again.
While speaking, Lucian moved forward step by step, his figure seemed to have become extremely tall, no, it was the seven ancient devils who were much shorter all of a sudden, all of them were rickety!
After Lucian finished speaking, the "arrogant" devil came to his senses and said angrily: "Too arrogant, too arrogant! Just because you were able to defeat us before doesn't mean you can still do it now! Your attitude will be the root of your failure!"
The "hypocritical" devil shook violently, idiot, you are clearly telling him how to defeat us!
In addition to them, the other five ancient demons were still a little cringe.
…………
The Holy City of Lance, at the bottom of the Great Hall of Light, is an extremely wide underground hall.
At the beginning of the hall is an old cross, full of the vicissitudes of time, and in addition, there is only one candlestick full of rust in the entire hall.
This was the first large-scale mission center when the Truth Church was secretly preaching.
At this time, all the dim candlelight was lit on the candlesticks, and the twelve members of the cardinals, including St. Cati, Santa Maria, Philippe, and Estira, stood scattered in every corner.
In the center of the hall, there was a strange three-dimensional figure arranged, which was very different from the normal magic circle and magic circle, which was like a collection of children's graffiti.
In this strange magic circle, Benedict III, holding a platinum scepter, paced back and forth, constantly checking, and Saint Mary and other members of the cardinal order were also carefully discerning, confirming that after activating the magic circle, he would not be sacrificed or devoured, so as to avoid falling into the end of the "Lord of the Endless Ocean" Herkes.
"Are you ready?" Benedict III asked in a wandering tone.
After repeatedly confirming that it was correct, Estilla, Philippe and others said in unison: "Report back to the Pope, ready!"
