After seventeen days of travel, the two battleships turned into a quiet bend. At the end of this fork was another extremely small passage that the battleships could not enter. Xia Fan and the others had to leave the battleship and fly at an amazing speed for another four days and four nights, passing through countless labyrinths that were as complex as ant nests. Finally, they saw a magical land.
Throughout the journey, the Ant Demon's doppelganger kept guiding Xia Fan and the others. When they arrived at the land, the doppelganger of the Ant Demon said, "You have arrived. This is the River of the Underworld. Many, many years ago, I was just an insignificant ant on the other side. But by chance, I successfully crossed the Underworld River and came to the Middle Realm. Now, you can follow the path that I used to come to the other side. If you are lucky enough, you will find other members of the Heavenly Wings Clan there."
Xia Fan was stunned. The river stretched as far as the eye could see, like a transparent ribbon floating on the land. The water was very shallow, not even reaching the knees of an adult. In the middle of the river, there was an invisible wall of light that divided the river into two.
On their side was the dark God's Path. There were gravel beaches and sharp cliffs towering into the sky. The narrow gap on the cliff was the path that the Heavenly Wings Clan used to come to this place.
But on the other side of the river, there was an endless field. The sun was shining, the breeze was gentle, and there were goldfish in the water. Many scallops and toads were lying in the mud on the riverbank. Butterflies and dragonflies were perched on top of the wildflowers growing along the riverbank. A gray sparrow suddenly swooped down from the sky, startling a group of red dragonflies. But there was still an unlucky fellow who became a feast for the sparrow because of his slow movements.
They walked down the riverbank. The river under their feet was dark and cold, as if it flowed down from a snowy mountain. But the river on the other side was filled with sunlight and many small fish and turtles.
Fo You said in a strange voice, "Is there a mistake? Why do I feel like we are in hell? "
The others were also confused. According to the division of the Three Realms, they should be in the Human Realm, and the opposite side was the Underworld. But in fact, the Human Realm was dark and lifeless, while the Underworld, which was nicknamed Hell, was full of vitality and sunshine. Such a huge contrast made them suspect that they might have lived in Hell all their lives without knowing it.
The Ant Demon did not walk down the riverbank. He stood on the bank and said in a deep voice, "That's right. No matter what you see, the continent on the other side is the place known as Hell."
Everyone was skeptical and prepared to cross the Netherworld River. However, they were quickly blocked by the wall of light in the center. The transparent wall seemed invisible, but it was indestructible. It surpassed all the most powerful forces in the world and completely separated the two completely different worlds.
Xia Di was extremely excited. He felt a voice calling his name and a force, like an invisible hand, gently pushing him from behind. His body instantly lost its center of gravity. When he regained his balance, he was shocked to find that he was on the other side of the Netherworld River. His father, Xia Fan, and Uncle Xia Yu were all on the other side. They were in the darkness and seemed to be talking about something, but Xia Di could not hear what they were saying.
Was he the only one who inconceivably crossed over to the Netherworld?
Xia Di felt a bone-deep fear. He wanted to return to his father's side, but the invisible wall blocked him. Xia Di ran at high speed, using all the strength in his body, but he was violently bounced back.
Xia Di began to realize the seriousness of the situation. He could not go back, and his father and Xia Fan could not enter either. This transparent wall separated him and his family into two completely different worlds. Although they were close, he could not hold his father's hand. A deep sense of loneliness surrounded Xia Di. The croaking of the toads on the bank gave him goosebumps.
"Xia Di!"
Xia Geng let out a scream and pulled away. His legs exerted force, and his entire body shot forward. He used his extreme speed to try to break through the transparent wall, but the invisible wall blocked him time and time again.
Everyone tried their best. Heaven's Wings used their speed, Mingzhu and Yan Yan sprayed flames and ice at the wall, Water Elemental tried to turn into tiny water molecules and pass through the cracks in the wall, and Giant Warrior Jiamu used his six-meter-tall alloy hammer to smash it with all his might. Prophet Snow closed his eyes, trying to hear the voices on the other side. Tamou released his Guardian Light God, but he realized that even light could not pass through the wall.
More than an hour passed. They had used all their strength, but it was all for naught. The powerful Heaven's Wings worked together to form the Wolf Horde. They attacked the wall repeatedly with crazy strength, but they were ultimately bounced back again and again by the wall.
Xia Geng's world completely collapsed. He grabbed the Ant Demon standing on the riverbank, his eyes bloodshot, wanting to tear it to shreds. However, the Ant Demon calmly said, "I already said that not everyone has the right to enter the Netherworld. Xia Fei and the others must have been led into the Netherworld by someone. Someone opened a door for the main force of Heaven's Wing, and you all lack the special ability to cross the boundary."
* Crack! *
Xia Geng was like a hysterical beast, tearing the Ant Demon to shreds. However, that was just the Ant Demon's clone. Even if Xia Geng captured and killed all the Ant Demons in the world, he would not be able to shake it.
"Special ability?"
Xia Fan muttered to himself. He suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have an ability that he had not used before, and that was the Golden Law. Segg seemed to care a lot about the Golden Law. He threatened Xia Fan with the lives of the scourges to force him to hand the Golden Law over.
At that moment, he heard a scream.
Xia Di, standing alone on the other side of the River Styx, was in trouble. The chaos had finally attracted the attention of the Netherworld. A group of warriors riding strange birds approached from afar.
They wore black armor and each held a spear in their hands. They were riding on owl-like creatures. The black owls flapped their wings, and their speed easily surpassed thirty thousand meters per second. In the blink of an eye, they were above Xia Di's head.
"Run!" Xia Geng shouted in a hoarse voice. His son could see his father's lips, but he could not hear what he was saying.
Without waiting for Xia Geng to react, a large shining net descended from the sky. The net was made of light, and it seemed to have some kind of powerful tracking ability. Xia Di spread his legs, but the net of light rushed toward Xia Di, wrapped around his short body, and quickly rose into the sky.
Not all Heaven's Wings were like Xia Fan and his father, who had the ability to accelerate diagonally. Most Heaven's Wings were better at moving in a straight line. Xia Di did not manage to escape in a straight line. Instead, he fell into the net and was brought to the end of the horizon by the six warriors riding owls. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhh!"
Xia Geng screamed and fainted. His body stiffened, and he fell straight into the cold river. There was a dull thud, and water splashed everywhere.
The warriors hurriedly carried him from the river to the shore. Xia Geng was a powerful god of war, and his body would never die. But at this moment, there was a big problem with his mind. His consciousness was hazy, and he felt as if he had returned to that painful night. Mei Mei seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She had left him and taken away all of Xia Geng's hope.
The warriors were furious, and they were furious beyond compare!
Just as they were about to charge at the wall again, they suddenly saw Xia Fan's body covered in a layer of golden light. This was a power completely different from the golden light of the war buddha. The golden rule was faint and very weak, but it gave Xia Fan an otherworldly aura. Even his eyes became very clear.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fan exerted strength in his legs. He wanted to give it a try. His whole body was covered in golden rule, and he had no confidence in breaking through the wall. The golden rule did not seem to be a very powerful existence. Its effect was only to increase Xia Fan's abilities in all aspects by five percent. It was far from the level of transcendence.
However, as his body trembled slightly, Xia Fan realized that he had really passed through the wall. The light blinded his eyes, and the water under his feet became warmer. He could hear the rude croaks of the toads in his ears.
"I actually made it through!?"
Xia Fan looked at his hands in disbelief. A dragonfly flew past Xia Fan and was caught by him. It struggled a few times in his palm, then stopped flapping its wings. Xia Fan threw the carcass into the river, and it floated away with the current.
Xia Fan looked across. Although he could not hear their voices, he could tell from their anxious expressions that they wanted him to save Xia Di immediately. Heaven's Wings had always had few children. That seven-year-old child was a favorite of the younger generation. Moreover, Heaven's Wings would never abandon any of its people. Since Xia Fan had accidentally passed through the wall, the mission of saving Xia Di could only fall on his shoulders.
"Understood," Xia Fan whispered.
