Amidst the chaos, a corner of an even more ancient world revealed itself. It was shrouded in darkness and coldness that made heaven and earth tremble, like the source of all evil and darkness between heaven and earth.
The ancient land began to be shrouded in darkness, and a faintly discernible sound rang out.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
This was the sound of the ancient river of the Netherworld flowing, as if it had been scouring the dark world since ancient times.
Indistinctly, there were illusory ghosts, rotten corpses, and white bones floating in the river.
"The Netherworld has appeared!"
The kings of the human race, who had already hidden far away, couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw the strange phenomenon in the sky. The afterimages of the Netherworld Realm were actually transforming into the real world.
The dark airflow washed down like a waterfall, so vast that it made their minds tremble.
Seeing this scene, Gui Tianquan's eyes finally lit up, and his body was gradually surrounded by the pervasive ghost qi. At this moment, his eyes finally changed.
The depths of his pupils were no longer crystal clear, but were replaced by an extremely dark flame. At this moment, the flame danced more and more, reflecting the scene in the Netherworld Realm.
"The great will of the Netherworld Realm, the younger generation of living beings is calling!"
Along with Gui Tianquan's shout, the flame suddenly crashed into the Netherworld Realm at the top of the sky. Almost at the same time, Gui Tianquan's body shuddered as if he had been struck by lightning, and then his whole body turned into a mass of ghost qi in midair.
At the top of the sky, the Dragon Lantern Divine King and the Wheel King looked at each other. They didn't make a move to suppress the Ghost Child.
Instead, a jade box appeared in the Dragon Lantern Divine King's hand. The moment the jade box appeared, heaven and earth trembled, and a mighty will that could dominate all living beings flashed past.
This was because there was a seal on the jade box, an imperial seal that belonged to an emperor.
A jade box that was sealed with an Imperial Dao Seal, one could well imagine how precious the item inside the jade box was.
"Let's begin. It seems that the imperial preceptor's deduction was correct. So far, everything is still under control. Next, it's up to the heavens to help us. Man proposes, God disposes!"
The Chakra King's eyes were solemn. The reason why they discovered that the Japanese were hiding in the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Region was because the Emperor's preceptor of King Wen's Palace had derived the Connate Eight Trigrams and deduced it step by step.
"The next step is going to be difficult. Even if the Netherworld Realm is broken, it used to be a big space-time that was on par with the Desolate Continent. The will of the Netherworld Realm was too high to reach, and the natural path of divination was greatly affected."
Dragon Lantern Divine King also became somewhat solemn. The imperial preceptor of King Wen's Palace had previously divined that the Japanese would trigger the Nine Hells, but he hadn't really divined every step or even how he would do it. At the very least, he hadn't divined Xiao Chen triggering the world's thunder.
What the Imperial Tutor deduced was the result, but the process was not very clear.
However, ever since Wei Yunwei had become a king tier, everything that had happened seemed like a coincidence, but it was actually inevitable. It was just that it had unfolded in a way that no one had expected.
"The arrow is nocked on the bowstring and must be released!"
As the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch roared, he stretched out his hand and removed the imperial seal on the jade box. Immediately, boundless divine light flourished, and a vast aura surged like a tide.
"Crack!"
The jade box made a sound, and as the seal was removed, it automatically opened, and a vast black beam of light shot straight into the sky, stirring the Nine Hells.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"
After a while, the black beam of light that connected heaven and earth collapsed and melted, replaced by an extremely dense mass of black gas in front of the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch and King Wen.
However, the strangest thing was that the aura emitted by this mass of black gas was exactly the same as that of the Japanese. There was not the slightest difference.
The dense Ghost Qi and the pure Netherworld Origin Energy made him look like a living ghost.
The black gas was constantly fluctuating, changing shape, and illusory shadows appeared within it, making one's scalp go numb.
"Chakra King, lend me a hand!"
Immediately after, the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch roared, and the Chakra King's body shook.
"What are you waiting for? This is a golden opportunity!"
Dragon Lantern roared, and immediately after, his body shook violently, and an illusory shadow of the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch stepped out of his body.
Immortal Martial Spirit!
Just like that, the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch's Immortal Martial Spirit collided with the mass of Netherworld black gas.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz."
Evil energy surged all over the sky, and the black mass that the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch's Martial Spirit had fused with burst out with a dense black light, turning into the appearance of the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch.
"Dragon Lantern, be careful!" the Chakra King shouted!
"Send me to the Netherworld!"
In the next moment, the Chakra King stirred up a vast power, lifted the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch, and slammed into the illusory Netherworld Realm, following the traces left behind by the Japanese!
The aura on the Chakra King's body surged, and he couldn't suppress it for a long time. This could be said to be a risk. Since ancient times, it had been said that while one was still alive, one could not step into the Netherworld Realm.
Anyone who stepped into the Netherworld would forever fall into the Netherworld Realm, never to be reincarnated.
Even if the current Netherworld Realm had become broken, this great order was still not something that a martial artist could violate!
Today's actions were nothing more than a sham. That extremely dense black aura that emitted the mark of the Netherworld was the extracted origin energy of the Netherworld, and there was even the origin energy of the Japanese.
Over the years, the human race had constantly sent experts to infiltrate the Ghost Realm. Although all they killed were the clones of the Japanese, it wasn't as if they didn't gain anything. This origin energy of the netherworld came from his clones.
It was to conceal the origin energy of life of the human race that entered the Netherworld Realm.
In this way, when the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch entered the Netherworld, he would have the same origin energy as the Japanese. Of course, this was only a theoretical deduction. In reality, there was no way of knowing what would happen.
As early as eleven years ago, when the Japanese stepped into the Eastern Wasteland, the imperial tutors of the human race had already divined this. It was then that the Chakra King received this mission and came to the Eastern Wasteland with King Evil Slayer and the others.
However, they didn't expect that they would wait for eleven years, and that all of this would happen under such circumstances, and these imperial tutors of the human race couldn't completely predict it.
King Evil Slayer's figure flickered and arrived in front of the Dragon Lantern Divine Monarch, saying with a solemn expression, "Chakra, we've already done what we should. Now, it's up to the luck of the human race!"
"The imperial tutors' divination can't truly cover the entire universe. There are too many taboos in the universe. Once you have the intention to pry into them, you'll suffer a backlash."
"That's why we borrowed the origin energy of the Japanese to descend to the Netherworld together and deceive the Netherworld!"
The Chakra King's gaze pierced through the sky.
King Evil Slayer pondered for a few breaths, and said hesitantly, "Chakra, could it be that there are still those existences hiding in the Netherworld Realm? Didn't they all leave back then?"
"Even the emperors don't know. Since ancient times, the will of the Netherworld Realm has become very tyrannical. Anyone who spies on the Netherworld Realm, even the emperors, would be overshadowed. Fortunately, the Japanese Son of the Netherworld was born in this era. That's why we have the opportunity to explore the Netherworld and see what the hell is inside!"
The Chakra King's expression was solemn, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"I hope the dragon lantern can return safely. The River of the Netherworld, the Road to the Yellow Springs, what kind of existence could destroy it?"
Hearing this, the Evil Slayer King fell silent. The world and all living beings were just pawns.
"I didn't expect this Holy Son to inadvertently start all of this. Chakra, do you think this is a coincidence?"
Hearing this, the Chakra King was startled, and then said, "The calamity at the end of an era has arrived. The luck of our human race will naturally return to the world, or give birth to the Son of Luck. Whether it's the Son of Luck or the person who inherits the luck, since they've received the blessing of luck, they'll naturally do something to help the development of our race. Therefore, whether it's a coincidence or not, we can't say."
"I hope those things don't exist in the Netherworld Realm. Otherwise, just an ancient land alone has cost us too much effort."
After a long time, a faint sigh resounded between heaven and earth.
… …
At the peak of the sky, Xiao Chen was still immersed in the ancient times of desolation!
He collected the spirit vein treasure mountain and began to head toward the depths of the desolate land according to the little pepper's guidance.
"My home is in the Azure Dragon Celestial Domain's Great Comet Mountain."
As Xiao Chen ran with all his might, he was trembling in fear. Only the heavens knew where this Great Comet Mountain was. Almost every instant, an incomparably huge figure would appear in front of him.
The bodies of the divine beasts of the desolate era were as tall as a mountain range. It was no wonder that the desolate land was so vast, or else it would be difficult to support their bodies.
Fortunately, the two of them were in different space-time. Even if Xiao Chen entered this illusory world, he would still not be affected. Unless he was courting death and changed the laws of the world.
The instant that Jiaotu spoke of was like breaking one's leg for Xiao Chen. The land was simply too vast, and no matter where he looked, it was the same.
"Little pepper, what else do you remember?"
Xiao Chen asked casually as he ran.
"I only remember that my home is in the Great Comet Mountain."
In this illusory world, Xiao Chen ran for half a year. Every day, he endured the pressure of the divine beasts' auras. His mind was constantly shaken, and finally, Jiaotu found a familiar place.
"This is the outside of the Great Comet Mountain."
Finally, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. They had finally arrived!
"My home isn't like this."
However, a terrified voice came from Jiaotu's body.
What appeared in front of Xiao Chen was a land of ruins that stretched to the ends of the world. There were broken mountain ranges, collapsed ancient peaks, cracked lands, and exposed abysses.
There were even some places that were directly a lake of lava.
"How could this be?"
This was a scene left behind from ancient times, so there was naturally no mistake. Clearly, in that era, Jiaotu's father had encountered a great calamity.
From the looks of it, it was perhaps not a coincidence that Jiaotu's divine soul had entered the Sea of Bitterness. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed along with this land!
"I … I can feel my own body?"
What!
After a long time, Jiaotu calmed down. His next words shocked Xiao Chen!
At this moment, he could not tell whether it was real or illusory!
It could be said to be real, but what he saw was an illusory world!
It could be said to be illusory, but it was as if he was in the real world. He could even pull the treasure mountain into reality.
