Chapter 362 The Red Purgatory World

"If you don't mind, could you tell me your main reason for visiting this city?" Noah asked, getting straight to the point.

"Nothing much, I just need to take a trip inside the Protector Family's forbidden realm," Damien responded.

Noticing Noah's stern expression, Damien added, "I've heard that one needs to go through a perilous journey inside and come out alive to gain the 'Darhk' surname officially."

After a moment of consideration, Noah spoke up, breaking the silence. "I understand. Ha! So you must be after this red crystal stone?" He then tossed something to Damien, a reddish crystalline stone about the size of a pigeon egg.

Using his Devil Ocular technique's X-ray vision, Damien confirmed that it was a Crystal God Stone. 'Just one left to collect,' he thought to himself. "How did you know I needed this God Stone?" he asked.

"Well," Noah replied, resting his right hand on his chin, "I can see a pattern in your recent escapades of multiple conquests. After conquering, the first thing you did was enter each of their forbidden realms."

He continued, "And there is one thing that all of these forbidden realms have in common: this Strange Blood Crystal Stone."

Placing the Crystal God Stone into his Purple Spatial Beast's Eyeball, Damien said, "I still need one more stone like this. And since Mia is out of the station, I won't be able to enter the WEREWOLF family's forbidden realm."

Looking at Noah meaningfully, Damien demanded, "Ancestor, you are wise and knowledgeable. Do you happen to know where I can find it?"

Ancestor Noah responded with a smile. Without further ado, he raised his hand and a spatial, pitch-black dark slit appeared in the air. A red katana flew out and landed in his hand. He began chanting in a strange language that sounded like the roaring of a dragon while executing a beautiful set of sword dances.

As Noah continued, Damien activated his Devil Ocular Technique, using both magnification and X-ray vision to observe Noah's every move in detail. Trillions of neurons fired in Damien's brain, causing a virtual scene of a faceless man to appear in his soul palace, performing the same moves.

As Noah finished his incantation, he cut his palm deep and yelled, "Dragon Subduing Divine Seal, Unsealed!" He then smeared several patterns on the Red Dragon's head and neck and spread red merlot on it.

The moment he completed the blood design, the Red Dragon's eyes opened and it roared as it started rising in the air. Upon seeing Noah, the dragon shuddered in fear and spoke in an archaic human tongue (Sanskrit), pleading, "S-spare me, oh great Human! Please!"

"Get hold of yourself. I have no intention of killing you," Noah responded with a calm but cold tone. He added under his breath, "At least for now."

The Red Dragon almost calmed itself, only to hear Noah's last word and feel its heartbeats break like a boat in the turbulent waves of the high tide sea. "I'll do anything for you. Please stop keeping my consciousness inside that blood sigil seal." Damien now understood his suspicion when he sat on the dragon's head. "It has been alive all this time," he thought. Turning his head to Protector Ancestor, he pondered, "He's able to keep such a strong beast in a near-death state. This old man is really magnificent."

"Alright, I'll consider that. But first, I need you to open the door to your home, the Red Purgatory World," Noah ordered.

"Much obliged, sir!" roared the Red Dragon as it flew upward, stopping in mid-air about 12 feet above the ground. It opened its jaws wide and channeled a Kinetic Electric Ball. The white dot gradually grew in volume, flickering with multiple bolts of lightning, until it was twice the size of a soccer ball.

Flying swiftly toward the other end of the cave wall, covered with drawings of strange creatures and manuscripts of the ancient gods, the dragon blasted the Kinetic Electric Ball onto a ring-shaped drawing at the centroid point of the irregular flat wall.

Damien looked on curiously, but the expected explosion didn't happen. Instead, a horrifying dark matter exuding a horrifying pressure precipitated from the wall and captured the incoming highly volatile Kinetic Energy ball, gripping it tightly like a hand. The dark matter squeezed the ball until it was a tad bit smaller than the size of the ring diagram. At that moment, it was pulled and absorbed into the ring diagram, causing all the drawings of myriad diagrams, symbols, and scriptures to radiate dazzling white light.

Noah appeared in front of the wall like a wind and started smearing his blood on the multiple scriptures as they moved as if trying to get into the Red Purgatory World via a certain locking system. Meanwhile, Damien's golden-glinting eyes studied everything in minute detail. The movement of the texts and numerals on the wall became so out of proportion beyond his human vision that his third Godly eye had been activated.

Finally, after eleven minutes, Noah exclaimed in excitement: "Yee-haw, I finally did it once again."

Seeing Noah's face overdrank with excitement and the tinge of blushing over his cheek, Damien wondered in his head: 'Hmph! What is so great about cracking such simple spatial nodes?!' Then he inquired, "How many times have you opened this portal?"

"Five times, including this one," Noah responded, tapping his palm on the ring-shaped drawing. "Open up for me!" There was then a sudden absorption of blood energies, and four cracks appeared in the slanted wall, still open, revealing a mirror-like black wall of water. "Why are you still standing there? Follow me!" He leaped onto the back of the Red Dragon, flew straight through the black mirror-like wall, and left only a small ripple behind.

"Here I come, the Red Purgatory World!" Damien bellowed at the top of his lungs and followed after Noah. The next thing he knew, he was dropping down rapidly from high above in the air.

As Damien fell toward the ground, he saw the Red Purgatory World stretching out beneath him, a desolate and barren wasteland that seemed to go on forever. He felt a thrill of excitement mixed with apprehension. What kind of dangers and secrets awaited him in this mysterious realm? Only time would tell, but Damien was ready to face whatever lay ahead, and he couldn't wait to explore every inch of this strange and wondrous world.
