Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 232

Chapter 232: Untitled

The city was in chaos. The laws had lost their binding power, and the desire in men’s hearts was released. Then, they realized that women who had released their desire were even more terrifying.

Many legal experts had said that monogamy was not meant to protect the rights of women, but the rights of men.

The city was in chaos. Not many people were still conscious. The old man, who had been a registrar for many years, was one of them. He was currently in the hospital nursery, quietly looking at the babies. The officials and guards were all keeping him company.

They were not frantic, nor were they fleeing for their lives. However, they knew what was happening outside.

The old man said, “Children are our future. We have to protect them even if we have to sacrifice ourselves.”

The officials and the guards nodded. They knew that the law had failed, and the situation was extremely critical. Perhaps no one would see the sun tomorrow, but they still guarded the place.

The registrar was there, so he kept his eyes on the children, not caring about his own safety.

The old man’s calmness infected the people there. Even a few young nurses pushed aside their anxiety and stood there quietly.

At that moment, someone kicked open the door to the nursery. Dozens of people holding weapons rushed in. The leader was a ferocious man in his thirties. His body was stained with blood. Some of it belonged to him, while the rest belonged to others. Some of it had dried up, and some of it was still emitting steam.

He rushed in and shouted, “By controlling these babies, we can control their parents and the city! Follow me. Kill whoever tries to stop us!”

The old man did not move, but the guards behind him all picked up their guns and pointed them at the group of thugs.

The thugs were stunned. They were holding steel pipes, iron chains, and fruit knives. How could they be a match for a group of armed guards?

Besides, each of the guards was well-trained and had excellent marksmanship.

The thug leader smiled awkwardly and retreated while saying, “We were just passing by.”

The thugs rushed out. However, not long after they left, the thugs immediately asked their subordinates to spread false information and say that the leader of the city was in the hospital nursery. If they did not get rid of him, the law would be in control again.

The thug leader picked up the phone and shouted, “Tell the people from the temple to come over quickly! This person is the leader of this city. If we kill him, this city will be ours!”

However, just as he finished shouting, an explosion was heard through the phone. The thug leader looked in the direction of the temple in disbelief as an endless black aura appeared from the direction of the temple.

Wei Huo walked out of the stone array. As soon as he walked out, countless citizens rushed in. They were not stupid. They knew that this was the key. They were holding all sorts of weapons in their hands. Some guards also joined them.

Then, they saw Wei Huo walk out of the giant stone array with an open notebook floating in front of him. Countless black Qi surrounded Wei Huo’s body, making him look like a Death God.

A guard lifted his submachine gun and shouted, “Hand over that notebook, or we’ll kill you!”

The others roared as well. “Hand over the notebook!”

They thought Wei Huo was someone who had gotten there first. The floating notebook was obviously extraordinary. They could not let Wei Huo obtain it.

They were shouting, threatening, and waving their weapons.

Wei Huo did not say a word. He tore off a piece of paper and threw it out gently.

The crowd surrounding Wei Huo did not know what was going to happen. The people behind tried their best to squeeze in as they heard that the key item in the stone array had been taken out.

“Hand it over!” they shouted without seeing anything.

However, the pages were already swaying left and right. They kept falling and eventually landed on the ground. The moment they touched the ground, they disappeared and turned into countless black auras. Then, the black auras turned into a ring and scattered around.

The people at the front were shocked. The people in the back did not know what had happened. They only knew that a black ring had spread out at a shocking speed and penetrated everyone’s ankles.

“What is this?” someone asked.

Bang! Someone collapsed.

“What happened?”

Bang! Bang! Bang! More and more people collapsed.

“Run!”

It was too late. Those who had been shouting about killing Wei Huo collapsed on the ground. None of them survived.

Wei Huo saw countless souls being sucked into the ground. There were no wounds on those people’s bodies. The Paper of Death landed on the ground and turned into a black ring that spread out. Then, everyone who was affected by the black ring died. Their souls were also sucked into the ground, heading toward legendary Hell.

At that moment, countless robots rushed into the city. The thieves were quickly controlled, and the kind-hearted people were protected. The situation in the city gradually improved, but at that moment, a few skyscrapers in the center of the city collapsed.

As these few immensely tall buildings came crashing down, the ground around the tall buildings also sank, creating a deep, bottomless pit. A few hundred-meter-tall buildings had completely fallen into the deep pit and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Soon, a terrifying sound came from the bottom of the pit, sounding like the voice of a demon from Hell.

Wei Huo took a step and arrived above the deep pit in a few moments. At the same time, Xiao Qian appeared behind Wei Huo and the golden armor flew over.

The golden armor asked, “Is this the entrance to the next level?”

The tall buildings were still falling. No one heard the sounds of the falling buildings, but this was enough to show that the pit was deep.

Wei Huo observed the pit closely. Moments later, he felt a familiar aura rush out of the pit.

Wei Huo pulled the golden armor and Xiao Qian back. A moment later, an endless pitch-black aura of death rushed out of the pit and into the sky.

Everyone saw the aura of death, which was like a black river that rushed into the sky. However, compared to sweet and delicious river water, this black river was made of an aura that could bring death!

Wei Huo said, “Follow the aura of death to the eighth level.”

The golden armor said in shock, “This is the aura of death. We’re not at the Mythical stage yet. We’ll be committing suicide if we proceed!”

Wei Huo did not speak. He tore another page and threw it out. As soon as the page left the notebook, it turned into a small black boat. Wei Huo took a step forward.

He then said, “We’ll take the small boat and leave!”

The golden armor and Xiao Qian immediately followed him into the small boat. Soon, the small boat rushed toward the black river. The moment it touched the aura of death, the small boat turned around and flew into the sky along with the endless black aura.

The golden armor was a little afraid. It lay at the bottom of the boat, not daring to look out.

The aura of death was like a huge river that contained the Death Rules. One would die if one touched it. If Wei Huo had not obtained control of the Death Book, he would not have been able to tear the pages apart.

However, after they’d flown thousands of meters away in the boat, the notebook in front of Wei Huo started flipping. Two giant black snakes appeared in front of them and blocked their path.
