Since Lu Ming's spiritual sense was unable to detect the situation deep underground, to be on the safe side, Lu Ming released the evil spirit to drill into the ground to investigate.

Under Lu Ming's command, the evil spirit drilled silently into the ground. Its body was like a ghost in the dark night, flexibly shuttling between the earth and rocks, and soon it penetrated deep into the underground maze-like network of passages.

Through the eyes of the evil spirit, Lu Ming saw an intricate underground world. Not only was it spread throughout the ruins of the Sky City, but it also had a complex structure, as if it was carefully designed by some ancient civilization.

Inside the passage, Lu Ming was surprised to find a creature he had never seen before - a strange spider.

These spiders vary in size, from as small as a fist to as large as a wheel, and their exterior is covered with a smooth and tough shell that presents a strange silver-gray hue, occasionally flashing a metallic luster in the light.

The most peculiar thing is that the bodies of these spiders combine two completely opposite magical elements, light and darkness. This combination is almost impossible to happen in nature, but they did it.

Their eyes sparkle with a faint blue light, as if they can see into the secrets deep in the soul, which makes people feel chilling.

The spiders' legs were wrapped in a faint aura of light and dark magic, and whenever they moved, the aura fluctuated, releasing a faint but strange energy fluctuation.

Not only that, they also exude a strong evil spirit. This evil spirit is different from ordinary negative energy. It seems to be able to directly affect the soul level, making creatures that approach feel mentally oppressed.

Lu Ming carefully observed the behavior of these spiders through the perspective of the evil spirit. They seemed to have a certain social structure, with low-level spiders responsible for patrolling and collecting resources, while high-level spiders were like leaders, controlling the entire underground network.

Lu Ming guessed that these spiders might be the product of some ancient magic experiment, or they might be the guardians left behind when the Sky City civilization was destroyed. Their existence might be to protect some secret deep underground.

Through further exploration by the evil spirit, Lu Ming discovered that these spiders were not only numerous, but also seemed to have built a huge ecological system in the underground passages, which made him more convinced that there was a huge secret hidden deep underground.

Then, the evil spirit continued to explore deeper, and the environment of the passage became increasingly dark and mysterious.

The evil spirit passed through the winding path and gradually approached the deepest part of the earth.

Just as Lu Ming expected, the deeper they went, the fewer spiders there were, but the size and strength of each spider increased exponentially, as if their existence was guarding some unspeakable secret.

When Lu Ming encountered spiders at the Grand Mage level, the forms and auras of these creatures were completely different from the previous spiders.

Their bodies swelled to as much as three to five meters in size, and were covered with complex and strange patterns. These patterns seemed to have some kind of magical properties and emitted a faint light.

Their eyes were like burning lava, emitting a captivating red light, and their limbs were strong and powerful, causing the ground to tremble slightly with every step they took.

These spiders are agile, yet have a calm, kingly demeanor, and clearly hold a very high status among the spider community.

As Lu Ming continued to go deeper, he finally encountered a sanctuary-level spider. The existence of these creatures almost overturned his understanding of power.

They are much larger in size, reaching a height of more than ten meters, almost like small hills.

The patterns on the body surface of the sanctuary-level spider are more complex, like a totem of ancient magic, exuding a heart-pounding pressure.

Their eyes are like black holes, deep and unfathomable, and seem to be able to see through everything.

The most shocking thing is that every movement of these spiders contains powerful magical fluctuations. They can even release magical attacks that are powerful enough to destroy everything without making any sound.

Compared with the grand mage-level spiders, the sanctuary-level spiders are more like mythical creatures. Every breath they take seems to control the changes in the surrounding environment, which makes people wonder whether the entire underground ecosystem is built around these top predators.

Finally, when Lu Ming controlled the evil spirit and passed through the cave behind the Sanctuary-level spider, he came to the core of the entire spider nest.

This place is completely different from the outside environment. It seems like an independent little world, filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

On the surrounding stone walls, precious materials were cleverly used to carve complex magical spells.

These spells were ancient and profound, and contained powerful magical powers. Even a knowledgeable and experienced warrior like Lu Ming felt a bit of awe.

In the center of the core, a huge sealing magic circle occupied the focus of vision. It was composed of countless fine runes and lines, and each line flashed with a faint power of light.

These forces come together to form an indestructible cage.

In this sealing magic circle, a huge god-level spider was trapped inside. Its existence made the entire space seem depressing and heavy.

This god-level giant spider is extremely huge, tens of meters long, and its eight legs are thick and powerful. Each leg is covered with iron-hard scales, shining with a metallic luster.

Its body was a strange silver-black color, as if it was a fusion of the purest night sky and moonlight. The most eye-catching thing was its eyes, a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see into the soul, flashing an ancient and wise light that made people shudder.

Every tentacle and every scale of this spider exudes a suffocating pressure, a pressure that belongs to a god-level powerful being, which makes people deeply feel its incomparable power.

Its body was surrounded by a strong force of light. This force was not only not contaminated by the dark attribute, but was even purer, as if the spider itself was a perfect fusion of light and darkness, and an existence that transcended ordinary creatures.

When Lu Ming was observing the god-level spider through the evil spirit, the spider seemed to sense the existence of the evil spirit. Its tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, emitting a light of light and darkness. It said with interest: "Interesting, thousands of years have passed, and finally someone found this place."

"But this soul body is a little strange. It is not a creature refined by dark secrets, nor is it summoned by undead magic. Instead, it is very similar to the strange and powerful force that fell from outside the world into the depths of the Warcraft Mountains."

The god-level spider revealed the nature of the evil spirit in one sentence, and Lu Ming's heart tightened.

It is not difficult to understand from the words of the god-level spider that this god-level spider has a great origin and has been sealed for thousands of years without dying. Although the other party does not recognize the demonic energy, it knows the forbidden area formed by the fragments of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Pot deep in the Warcraft Mountains.

Just when the evil spirit was exposed and Lu Ming was hesitating whether to control the evil spirit to return and escape from the ruins of the Sky City, the God-level Spider spoke again.

"Young man, don't be afraid!"

"I have been trapped in a magic circle for thousands of years and have been unable to escape. I cannot pose any danger to you at the moment."

"Although I don't know what connection you have with the forbidden land deep in the Warcraft, perhaps we can make a deal. What do you think?"

Originally Lu Ming wanted to retreat, but after hearing the words of the god-level spider, he suddenly became interested.

He hesitated for a moment, then controlled the evil spirit and asked, "What deal do you want?"

The god-level spider said in a deep voice: "If you help break the seal here and let me out, in return, I can give you all the treasures I have collected over the years."

Hearing this, Lu Ming did not agree immediately.

Although with his strength, he can fight against a god-level strongman, but he is not sure that he can win.

If he cannot defeat Lu Tuntian, he can summon him at any time and use the Tuntian Magic Jar to attack.

But he knew that this god-level spider had a terrifying origin, and if he released it rashly, it might cause some trouble.

More importantly, Lu Ming was very interested in the origin of this god-level spider.

After thinking for a while, Lu Ming said, "Before we trade, should you introduce yourself? And why are you sealed here? Who sealed you?"

The God-level Spider was not dissatisfied with these questions and patiently explained: "My name is Trombu, and my current level has reached that of a low-level divine beast."

"Thousands of years ago, when the God of Light sent down his avatar to gain more power of faith and united the forces of various races to build the City in the Sky, I was still a high-level dark sanctuary-level magical beast."

"Because building the city in the sky requires the construction of a super-large magic circle, the magic circle is based on the operation of the imitation world rules. In addition to the magic elements of light and magic elements such as gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, it also requires the magic elements of darkness and the dead to achieve balance."

"Therefore, even though the God of Light and the Church of Light hate darkness and the undead, in order to build the Sky City smoothly, they promised that as long as the dark and undead strongmen and magic beasts help us and abide by the rules and do not actively harm other creatures, they can allocate a part of the territory for us to use after the Sky City is built."

"At the time, we believed it, thinking that the God of Light was a noble and real god, and since he made a promise, he would not lie, so we agreed to help."

"As a result, after the Sky City was built, the God of Light's clone left the magic world on the pretext of completing his mission and returned to the higher plane. The subsequent management of the Sky City and the division of territory were all handed over to the Church of Light."

"When it comes to interests, the hypocritical people in the Church of Light did not distribute them according to the principle of fairness."

"They took over most of the territory of Sky City and divided the rest according to the strength of the forces, whether there were god-level warriors in the tribe, overall strength ranking, etc."

"Although this caused dissatisfaction among the major forces, in the end, under the oppression of the Church of Light, everyone dared not speak out."

"However, in this situation, it would be fine if everyone got less. The most outrageous thing is that after the construction of the Sky City was completed, the Church of Light began to suppress our dark and undead masters."

"Not only did they divide the territories of the Dark and Undead, deliberately ranking us last, but they also symbolically divided out an area of ​​several hundred square meters as our territory."

"An area of ​​several hundred square meters cannot accommodate a few living beings. What's even more outrageous is that they have stipulated that any dark and undead monsters and human warriors can only live in such a small territory after arriving in the Sky City."

"If you dare to cross the line, you will be punished in accordance with the strictest law."

……

The god-level spider Tromb, as if recalling a memory, told Lu Ming some little-known stories about the past of the Sky City.

Under the hypocritical oppression of the Church of Light, the powerful dark and undead, whether they were humans or monsters, were angrily expelled from the Sky City.

Later, a magician of the undead class rose up, who was the owner of the divine nature in Lu Ming's mind.

Under the leadership of the God of Undead, they united with the dark human warriors and monsters to fight back, successfully defeated the Church of Light, and destroyed the City in the Sky.

What happened next was just as Lu Ming knew. The God of the Undead unified the magic continent, established the City of Death, and then was killed by all races.

As for the god-level spider Tromb in front of him, he was a member of the team that participated in the battle to destroy the Sky City and killed many powerful men of the Church of Light.

Later in the battle, it and a dozen sanctuary-level monsters were targeted by the Pope of the Church of Light.

Fortunately, the Pope was a powerful god-level being, and he was fighting fiercely with the God of the Undead at the time. He was exhausted and somewhat unable to cope.

Therefore, the Pope did not cast a god-level light-type attack magic, but used a light-type sealing magic, setting up a barrier to seal Trumbu and other monsters deep underground.

After the battle, as the Sky City was about to collapse, the strong men from all races left and Trumbu was forgotten here.

After trying to break the seal in vain, the sealed monsters devoured each other in order to survive.

After many hardships, Trumbull finally defeated all his kind and survived.

During the long period of loneliness, it began to try to absorb the power of the light barrier, and as a result, its body mutated and a part of it gradually adapted to the light element.

It mutated into a special magical beast with both light and dark attributes.

Therefore, he continued to absorb the light magic elements contained in the sealing barrier to weaken the power of the barrier, and finally opened a tiny gap.

With the help of this gap, Tromb secreted some spider eggs from his body and sent them out.

After the spider eggs hatch, it controls these little spiders and builds a huge underground kingdom deep beneath the sky city.

Hearing this, Lu Ming asked in confusion: "Then why don't you let these spiders break the seal from the outside?"

Trumbu smiled bitterly and said, "Do you think I don't want to? I have tried all of these, but because this barrier was cast by the Pope of Light when he was at his peak, even after countless years, the rules of the light god contained in it are still very terrifying. Even if attacked from the outside, the impact is minimal."

"If you don't help today, it will take at least another thousand years for me and my descendants outside to slowly wear down the seal barrier."

Lu Ming continued to ask: "As a god-level warrior, you have spent so much time trying to break the seal but still can't. Why do you think that I, a Saint-level warrior, can help you escape?"

Trumbu said seriously: "Because the energy you release is the same as the forbidden area deep in the Monster Mountain Range!"

"Back then, I witnessed the entire process of the formation of the forbidden area."

“Although I don’t know what exactly was that thing that broke through the void and fell into the depths of the Warcraft Mountains, the energy and terrifying rule power it exudes definitely surpass the god level and comes from a higher level world.”

"And the higher the level, the deeper your understanding of the power of rules, and the more you will understand how terrifying the energy contained in that forbidden area is!"

"Even though I am now a god-level warrior, I still shudder when I think back to everything in the forbidden land."

"No matter what the reason is, since you can control the same energy as in the forbidden area, I believe that with the help of this mysterious energy, you can definitely break the seal!"
