Chapter 313: Great Terror, Great Opportunity

Chapter 313 Great Terror Great Opportunity

Li Wei stepped through the golden gate, arriving at the very depths of the Endless Maze.

The scene before him left him frozen in place.

He had imagined what magnificent and magical sights awaited him in the deepest recesses of the Endless Maze.

Yet he never expected it to be this sight before his eyes.

He stood within a colossal cell, countless straight black iron pillars stretching out before him.

The black iron pillars pierced straight up into the sky, their ends unseen, their height unknowable.

Li Wei felt as insignificant here as an ant.

The distance between two pillars was at its narrowest still a hundred meters wide.

It was unimaginable what kind of monsters were imprisoned within these cells?

Li Wei turned back to look; living things seemed to exist within the darkness deep inside the cell.

The prisoners within this super-gigantic cell had not yet died.

Li Wei suddenly understood everything.

The Endless Maze was originally a prison.

The Endless Maze should be called the Endless Prison.

Every hall of the maze was actually a prison cell.

Unimaginable who built this prison, even more unimaginable what kind of people such cells were meant to hold?

Li Wei walked toward the depths of the cell.

He no longer harbored hope for gaining points.

Figures capable of being imprisoned in cells of this level could likely kill him with a single breath.

The power of legendary creatures was still vividly before his eyes.

The cell was simply too vast.

The area here rivaled that of a large human city.

Li Wei walked for a long time before seeing the end of the cell.

Countless gigantic chains bound a giant snake.

The giant snake bore over a hundred heads, each head pierced by massive iron nails, pinned against the walls.

It looked like blooming flowers.

The giant snake's body was bound by countless huge iron chains, tied securely, unable to move even slightly.

The giant snake lay silent, making no sound.

Suddenly, the over a hundred snake heads nailed to the wall opened their eyes.

Cold pupils turned to gaze upon Li Wei's location.

A wave of intense killing intent drowned Li Wei's consciousness.

"Kill kill kill! Die die die! Destroy everything!"

For a long while, ninety-nine of the hundred snake heads closed their eyes tightly, leaving only one snake head staring at Li Wei.

Only then did Li Wei break free from the endless killing intent and resentment.

His heart pounded with terror.

This was a Serpent of Destruction; it had once destroyed a world.

Now it was imprisoned by the master of the Endless Maze within the prison at the maze's deepest point.

This was a monster of divine rank.

Li Wei could not take another step closer.

Even though the Serpent of Destruction's power had been completely sealed.

Approaching rashly might still encounter danger.

Ordinary humans could hardly withstand that overwhelming killing intent sufficient to drown a world.

Either influenced by the Serpent of Destruction, becoming a madman wishing to destroy the world.

Or self-destruct.

Whichever it was, neither was a good thing.

Li Wei slowly retreated.

The World-Destroying Snake was too powerful, beyond his reach to contact.

"I hope the deepest part of the Endless Maze is not entirely filled with such monsters."

Li Wei now wanted to leave this place.

It was too dangerous here.

If not for some lingering thoughts in his heart, Li Wei would have directly abandoned the final exam and exited the Endless Maze.

Li Wei walked out of the cage holding the Serpent of Destruction.

The cage had no sealing effect on an ant like him.

He was too weak.

Even less threatening than a single scale of the Serpent of Destruction.

Stepping out of the prison holding the Serpent of Destruction.

Outside was not a prison corridor, but fractured earth.

Walking to the end of the fractured earth, Li Wei looked around.

He saw many cages distributed throughout the void.

The cages were completely isolated from one another, impossible to approach.

Li Wei attempted to fly out.

He discovered flight was not prohibited here.

Flying across the void zone, during the flight, Li Wei's heart raced with fear.

Afraid a monster would emerge from the void to attack him.

Bang!

Li Wei landed on the edge of another cage.

He looked back; the void was dead silent. Here seemed to be nothing else besides the monsters imprisoned within the cages.

Li Wei was the only moving living thing here.

He walked toward the cage.

This time, he found the cage had returned to normal size.

Five meters long and wide, three meters high.

Bars forged from unknown black metal confined the prisoner, whose body bore numerous chains piercing through flesh and blood.

The ends of the chains sank into the cell floor.

Li Wei peered inside the cell.

A pair of blood-red eyes opened in the darkness.

The scarlet light was utterly chilling.

Li Wei cast a spell to illuminate the scene within the cell.

A werewolf covered in blood was bound by chains inside the cell.

The werewolf stared at Li Wei, baring sharp fangs, its expression ferocious.

Its eyes seemed to have lost reason, leaving only madness.

The werewolf knew not how long it had been imprisoned here.

It had long been tortured by endless emptiness until its mind shattered.

Its immense vitality prevented it from dying.

But it had lost its sanity, retaining only the instinct of life.

"Grrr!"

The werewolf let out a hoarse roar.

Li Wei sensed the powerful aura emanating from it.

"Is this a legendary creature?"

Li Wei attempted to attack the werewolf.

The strike landed on the werewolf, triggering the anti-magic effect on the chains.

Instantly, all magic failed.

Though merely a legendary beast, the chains binding it were the same as those of the Serpent of Destruction.

They contained the power of rules.

Li Wei could not break through the rules upon the chains to kill the werewolf.

Provoked by the attack, the werewolf struggled desperately.

The struggle caused the chains to vibrate incessantly.

Wounds bled ceaselessly.

Li Wei saw blood-red flowers growing in a pool of blood in the corner.

His heart trembled.

"Blood Soul Flower?"

The Blood Soul Flower was one of the materials for Reanimation.

It was the key material for reuniting soul and flesh.

Li Wei used Telekinesis, intending to pluck the Blood Soul Flower.

Bang!

The kinetic force from the werewolf's tail lashed out, shattering the Mage Hand.

The werewolf subconsciously protected the Blood Soul Flower.

The flower was watered with its own blood and soul.

To the werewolf, the Blood Soul Flower was part of itself.

For Li Wei to take the flower was to cut its flesh and steal its soul.

This was absolutely forbidden.

Li Wei looked at the werewolf, knowing he could not obtain the flower without dealing with it.

He took out the Rune Stone.

The Rune Stone given to him by the Fire Elder.

Li Wei hadn't expected to use it so soon.

But if he could get the Blood Soul Flower, it would be worth it.

Activating the stone, Li Wei worried it wouldn't work here.

Because this place was also part of the Endless Maze.

No magical items functioned within the Endless Maze.

Fortunately, Li Wei stood outside the cell, unaffected by its rule suppression.

The Rune Stone activated normally, summoning a projection of the Fire Elder.

"Where is this? What hellish place did you bring me to? I spent most of my power just getting here."

The Fire Elder looked around in confusion.

Upon seeing the cage, his heart jolted violently.

"Is this the Divine Prison?"

"How did you bring me to such a place?"

The Fire Elder was so frightened he nearly retreated immediately.

Hearing this, Li Wei felt a stir; it seemed the Fire Elder knew the secrets of the Endless Maze.

These questions could wait for later.

"I'll explain later, can you help me deal with that werewolf?"
