What appeared in front of Zhou Ling was a barren wasteland.
Zhou Ling had seen deserted places filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The Nine Hells' Blood Pool was the most terrifying place she had ever seen.
There were countless monsters being born, and the most terrifying Hades King of the Netherworld was glaring at them like a tiger watching its prey.
It was a forbidden zone for life, a hell for humans!
But even though she had seen the Nine Hells' Blood Pool, Zhou Ling was still stunned by the scene before her.
In front of Zhou Ling was a demonic creature with three snake heads and a bull's body. It had blood-red eyes and each of its heads had a corpse in its mouth.
Some of the corpses were headless while others had half their bodies bitten off. They were drenched in blood and their intestines were leaking out. Some were not dead yet and were wailing and crying.
But before their voices could travel far, the snake-headed, ox-bodied monster raised its head and swallowed the person who was still alive.
The remaining two heads began to throw the food in their mouths onto the ground, opening their mouths to chew on the food.
The thick smell of blood mixed with the foul smell of dust in the air. Zhou Ling could not help but frown. Other than the demonic creature in front of her, there were tens of thousands of other demonic creatures in this ruined city. They were having a terrifying and bloody feast.
Roars, wails, cries, screams and curses mixed together like the roar of an angry wave.
In the distance of the ruins, under the blood-red setting sun, there was a dense horde of monsters that blotted out the sky and covered the earth. They were divided into two groups. One group covered almost all the colors of the earth as they trampled on the ground and rolled forward. The other group was far away near the skyline. They shrouded the sky like a boundless dark cloud that gradually covered the entire sky.
Zhou Ling could vaguely guess what was going on. She stood rooted to the ground, her eyes wide as she stared at the scene before her. When she saw the endless army of demonic creatures surging towards them, she saw a person standing on the giant nine-headed demonic creature at the front.
This person was covered in crimson scale armor and had a fiery and demonic figure. Two deep scars on both sides of her face were extremely obvious. It was her!
Zhou Ling stood on top of the army of demonic creatures, raising a longsword burning with black flames and pointing it at the distant sky. She roared, issuing an unquestionable order, "Kill our way to the Nine Heavens!"
But this voice made Zhou Ling's entire body shake. Her eyes were filled with intense shock and then her pupils constricted, her gaze filled with terror.
This was a deep male voice, the voice of the King of Hades!
"That's right … looks like you understand!"
A familiar voice rang in Zhou Ling's ear. Zhou Ling turned her head and saw her dead sister appear before her again. She had a faint smile on her face as if she was mocking her stupidity.
"When you truly become the King of Demon Kings, you must lead the King of Hades' million demonic army. Then, you must lead them to attack the blood-red city gates. You will face the Zhan family and the Zhan family and the human world's craziest retaliation!
If you fail, you will perish together with the millions of demonic creatures at the blood-red city gates!
If you succeed … you will become a sacrificial cauldron for the King of Hades to descend upon the human world! "Zhou Bo's voice was like a demon's, causing Zhou Ling to tremble.
Zhou Ling covered her ears and screamed shrilly, "These are all your illusions, they're all lies!!"
"Oh?
Really?
Then why are you so afraid?
Then why are you resisting? "Zhou Bo laughed coldly, her words like knives and spears." You know better than anyone!
What does the King of Hades want to do with you?
Did any of the King of Demon Kings he found have a good ending? "
As she spoke, Zhou Bo's body transformed into Yuehan's. She laughed coldly, "Otherwise, why would I betray him?"
"Ah!!!"
A long black knife appeared in Zhou Ling's hand. She swung it and sliced Yuehan into two.
But the two halves of Yuehan's body instantly transformed back into Zhou Bo. She held back her tears and spat out blood as she cried to Zhou Ling, "Sister, I know you're not a real demon, you just want revenge.
But if you've been used by the King of Hades to massacre the human world, then what difference is there between you and those you hate the most? "
"Stop it!!"
Zhou Ling clutched her head and screamed madly. She held a long knife in each hand and swung it around in a frenzy.
Her body moved and she pounced towards the endless demonic army, turning into a meat grinder. Every demonic creature in her way was chopped into countless chunks of blood. She herself was like an arrow released from a bow, pouncing towards the King of Hades who stood on top of the nine demonic creatures.
But as she swung her knives, the King of Hades who looked exactly like her smiled coldly. Her body disappeared in an instant and Zhou Ling pounced on empty air.
When she turned around, everything around her had disappeared. She was back in Tong 'an City where blood rained and fire fell from the sky.
Yuehan's figure slowly walked out of the darkness. She said softly, "There are only two choices before you.
First, kill me and become the King of Hades' weapon, a vessel for him to descend into the human world!
Second, we work together to kill the King of Hades and regain our freedom! "
Zhou Ling couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. "Our power comes from the King of Hades, how can we go against him?
Moreover, the King of Hades has already planted the Nine Hells Bloodsoul in my body. He knows my every move! "
Yuehan laughed coldly. "This is my Nine Hells Illusion, not even a Golden Immortal can pry into it!
The King of Hades has no idea what we're doing here! "
Zhou Ling's heart skipped a beat. She glared at Yuehan and gritted her teeth. "Do you know how powerful the King of Hades is?
Do you know how terrifying he is?!
You're not even as strong as I am!
I have no way to resist the King of Hades!
You want to rebel against the King of Hades?
You're simply daydreaming! "
Yuehan said decisively, "Even ants are greedy for life, let alone humans.
Are you willing to be devoured by the King of Hades? "
Zhou Ling glared at Yuehan and grinned. "Why don't I kill you and become the King of Daemon Kings? Maybe I'll be able to fight him then!"
Yuehan laughed heartily, "Stop dreaming!
Your Daemon King powers come from the King of Hades!
Once you become the King of Daemon Kings, the King of Hades' control over your power will grow stronger. You'll never be able to escape his control! "
Zhou Ling's expression changed. She roared, "Then why should I work with you?!
What use do you have?! "
Yuehan said proudly, "Only my Nine Hells Illusion can fool the King of Hades!
I'm the only one who can help you escape his control!
Otherwise, how do you think I've escaped his pursuit for the past hundred years? "
