Wang Zhong seemed to be much stronger than the rumors said. He did not feel any discomfort when standing in the range of his Nether Absorption Technique. His spiritual power was restrained, and his body was perfectly round. As a result, the Nether Absorption Technique did not seem to have any effect on him.
"You recognize me." At this moment, there was no one else around, so Wang Zhong slowly spoke. Elder Bayan did not want others to know Wang Zhong's identity, but Wang Zhong did the same.
Otherwise, if the Star Alliance knew that he was not dead and had even gone to the sea to look for Mu Zi, what would the higher-ups of the Star Alliance think? Even without the Fire Demon Race and the Blood Demon Race adding fuel to the fire, no one would think that he was helping the Star Alliance. Instead, they would think that he was colluding with the Netherworld King, who was causing chaos in the underground world, with ill intentions. The Star Alliance's attitude had always been to kill such extremely dangerous people first. Before he could return from Hell Island, the Star Alliance would have already placed the order to conquer the Earth on the shelves.
"You disguised yourself as a Black Titan and went to the sea. It is not difficult to guess your identity." A strange light flashed in Elder Bayan's eyes. "I am just curious. How did you survive in the Netherworld River and recover from your injuries in just a month? Do you Earthlings really have some relationship with the Netherworld River? "
"Even if I do, do you think I will tell you?"
"I am just a little curious. It doesn't matter if you tell me or not." Elder Bayan raised his left hand, and the spiral black gas condensed in front of him. It was as if it was pulled by his hand and became heavy.
Wang Zhong's appearance had a great impact on the current situation of the underground world. All the Factions that were waiting to get a share of the profits would not be willing to see this happen. He had to die!
"It was not easy for you to escape from the Netherworld River, and you still dare to come back? Then, I will help the Ninth Shade Faction send you off! "
Whoosh.
Elder Bayan raised his left hand.
Boom!
Unlike the previous random pull, the entire range of the black gas was no longer aimlessly spreading. Instead, it suddenly condensed and produced a terrifying devouring and corrosive power.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
There were many xenogeneic creatures on the beach, but as soon as the suction force enveloped them, the essence of their bodies was sucked dry. The colorful creatures turned gray, losing all signs of life. Then, they turned into dust and scattered with the wind.
The disciples who were standing far away were also scared out of their wits. They were already far enough away that the suction force could not reach them, but they could still feel their life force slowly fading away. They could only retreat again and again. They only stopped when they were twenty to thirty kilometers away from the suction force.
A Golden Core cultivator, especially a Golden Core cultivator like Elder Bayan, would be earth-shattering once he made a move. No one would dare to get close within a five-kilometer radius.
The unlucky Black Titan was only a Solid Core. When faced with such a terrifying attack that targeted his soul and vitality, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!
No, that's not right. Elder Bayan is still continuing. Could it be that the Black Titan is still alive?
At the center of the battlefield, Lao Wang's true body had already revealed itself the moment his opponent attacked.
Even though he had transformed into a Solid Core, Lao Wang did not have the capital to be careless when facing a famous Gold Core cultivator from the underground world.
The two energy wings behind him spread slightly as he quietly watched the storm. His soul resistance was already strong, and when his true body was revealed, his resistance became even stronger. No matter how the strange corrosive and devouring power moved around him, Lao Wang's body and soul were as majestic as a rock in a whirlpool.
The corners of Elder Bayan's mouth curled slightly. He was not surprised.
It was rumored that Wang Zhong was only a Void Core when he faced Elder Hades, but he was already able to exchange a few blows with Elder Hades. Now that he had condensed his Solid Core, his strength should be even stronger.
Normally, Elder Bayan might have thought of playing with Wang Zhong. After all, it was not easy to find a Solid Core like Wang Zhong who could slightly contend with a Gold Core. Bullying such a genius was a pleasure for Bayan, but the situation was different now. He could not play around for too long. Once the commotion of the fight attracted the attention of other Gold Core experts in the Netherworld Sea City, it would be easy for them to discover Wang Zhong's identity. If that happened, he would not be able to cover up the fact that he killed Wang Zhong. If the Heavenly Gates heard about it, especially if the Netherworld King heard about it … Think about the Ninth Shade Faction. As long as the Netherworld King was alive, not many people would dare to kill an Earthling in public.
He had to end the battle quickly!
A trace of sharpness flashed in Elder Bayan's eyes, and the Netherworld energy on his body suddenly circulated.
Boom!
A monstrous black flame suddenly rose from his body. Immediately after, his small body, which was less than two meters tall, suddenly expanded, and he transformed into a strange beast!
It had the body of a goat, and its eyes were under its armpits. It had tiger teeth and human claws, and its body was five to six meters tall and seven to eight meters long. It had a huge round head and an extremely large mouth.
Gluttonous True Form!
Weep weep weep weep weep ~ ~
Its cries were like the cries of a baby, and at the same time, its huge mouth suddenly opened.
Netherworld Absorption and Rotation Technique — Devouring Heaven!
This time, it did not just suck vitality. It was like a small black hole that even sucked in ordinary matter!
The surrounding tents were nailed several meters deep into the ground with large nails, but at this time, they were pulled up by the suction force and sucked into Elder Bayan's big mouth. Don't think that his mouth would be damaged. Any matter that was sucked in by him would be reduced to one percent of its normal size before it could even get close to his mouth. Then, it would enter the black hole in his mouth and disappear without a trace! He could not stand on the ground at all, and even the ground was sucked away!
Lao Wang's body also plummeted, and his energy wings kept flapping as he floated in the air to resist the suction force.
"Eat you! Eat you! Eat you! "
A crazy and mournful voice was mixed with the suction force, and it had a shocking effect on one's soul. In an instant, Lao Wang felt that his entire soul was being pulled by the suction force, and his soul was being forcefully pulled out of his body!
"Sink!" Wang Zhong concentrated his strength and stabilized his soul.
In the face of such a move, it was meaningless to think about avoiding or resolving it. If he could not resist it head-on, all other tricks would only result in a slow death.
He had seen Lavel's Gold Core before, and it was an in-depth 'look'. This was an experience that ordinary Solid Cores could not have. Such a Gold Core represented the top level in the Land and was also the highest benchmark to measure one's strength. This allowed Lao Wang to have a very direct and accurate understanding of a Gold Core. Although his current Solid Core had not reached the quality of a Gold Core, when his true form was revealed and his Solid Core was activated, Lao Wang felt that it was not inferior to an ordinary Gold Core. If he used the power of the dragon seal, it would be even stronger!
For people like Bayan, Wang Zhong felt that he was still quite a distance away from Lavel, and he could definitely face him head-on.
The elemental power on his energy wings was continuously activated, and it mixed with spiritual power and soul power. When they converged into one, his entire body and soul became several times more stable. His soul, which was about to be pulled out of his body, instantly returned to its original position.
"Heh heh heh. Little fellow, I'll give you a proper meal!" Bayan's child-like and sharp voice exploded. Wang Zhong was actually able to resist his Netherworld Absorption Technique, but did Wang Zhong think that this was enough?
What was the Netherworld Absorption Technique?
The Netherworld Absorption Technique was only the first stage. Its true power lay in the rotation!
The black gas in the surroundings started to surge into Bayan's body like a whale. It was like a tonic that nourished his power, causing the power of his Netherworld Absorption Technique to increase!
Bayan's gluttonous demon true form also had a wisp of his soul leaking out. However, it was different from Wang Zhong's half of his soul that had been pulled out of his body. This wisp of soul left his body on its own, and an invisible force bound these two souls. It was like a tug-of-war, trying to forcefully pull Wang Zhong's soul over!
Netherworld energy against spiritual power, soul against soul!
The power of the Netherworld Absorption Technique instantly increased, and half of the small Solid Core's soul was pulled out of his body. Once the soul left his body, it was as if he had lost the protection of his clothes. There was a force in the black Netherworld energy that began to nibble away at the soul. Waves of vigorous vitality and spiritual power were extracted from the soul and integrated into the black gas to nourish Bayan.
At the same time, the two souls that were pulling each other produced a strange and inexplicable suction force that firmly locked onto each other.
Bayan felt extremely comfortable. Wang Zhong's reputation was well known. He dared to come to the underground world when he was only a Void Core and even managed to escape from the Netherworld. He definitely had extraordinary skills. Now that he had advanced to a Solid Core, his combat power and escape ability were definitely not to be underestimated. If Bayan used conventional methods, he would probably have to spend a lot of effort to deal with Wang Zhong, and there was even a possibility that Wang Zhong would escape. But now …
When the Netherworld Absorption Technique was formed, the situation of the two souls locking onto each other was established. Both of their bodies could no longer move, and they no longer had the strength to break free from this situation. Their bodies were only instinctively activating their spiritual power, and the tug of war between their souls was the center of the battle.
When dealing with some experts, Bayan might not dare to use this method directly, but when dealing with people who were slightly weaker than him, he liked to use this method the most.
This would prevent the other party from displaying their strength and skills, forcing the other party to compete with him in terms of soul and strength. Furthermore, the tug of the soul would make it impossible for the other party to escape! As the saying went, this was the simplest and crudest method, and it was often the safest method. Bayan's strongest point was his soul. Even when facing a Gold Core of the same level, he would rarely lose, let alone a small Solid Core.
So what if Wang Zhong was a genius? So what if Wang Zhong was able to comprehend his techniques at the Void Core Realm? No matter how talented Wang Zhong was and how heaven-defying his combat skills were, he could only wait for death under such circumstances. Even if Wang Zhong's soul could withstand it, a mere Solid Core's spiritual power would not last long. Ten seconds? Twenty seconds?
Before Bayan could finish his thoughts, he realized that Wang Zhong had strangely withstood his absorption once again. It seemed that Wang Zhong was barely able to withstand it. This human's soul was indeed very strange. It was heavy and sturdy, completely unlike the ethereal and weak feeling of ordinary souls.
Bayan frowned slightly. He did not have time to waste with Wang Zhong. If he guessed correctly, the disciples of the Faction would have already reported this to the Faction. This place was only a few dozen kilometers away from the Netherworld Sea City, and there would definitely be people arriving in three to five minutes.
"Good boy! You have some skills! "Bayan shouted, and his Gluttonous True Form increased in size once again, and his strength increased greatly.
In an instant, the surrounding sand and stones flew, and the terrifying suction force had spread to a radius of nearly 20 kilometers, but it was still not enough! In fact, this time, he could not even pull the Earthling's soul out of his body.
Wang Zhong's soul was abnormally stable. Not only did it ignore the devouring and corrosive abilities of the Netherworld Absorption Technique, but its strength was also not inferior to Bayan's.
Wang Zhong's expression was calm. Previously, his soul had been pulled out of his body only because it had happened suddenly. How could Wang Zhong compete with him in terms of soul resistance? Back when he was still a weak Casted Soul on Earth, he had never been afraid of such things! As for the strength of his body, Bayan had miscalculated. Lao Wang, a Solid Core, thought that he was comparable to an ordinary Gold Core! In terms of strength, he was definitely not inferior to Wang Zhong.
In just a few seconds, Bayan's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. He could not believe that a Solid Core could compete with him in terms of soul and strength. He was the one who initiated the fight, and he had the absolute initiative. How could he not be able to defeat a mere Solid Core?! Wang Zhong must have used some secret technique.
Despicable trash!
Bayan said sternly, "Boy, are you burning your Solid Core to fight against me? How long can a mere Solid Core last? "
"Burning my Solid Core?" Lao Wang's voice was not forced at all. In fact, he seemed even more relaxed than Bayan. "Are you worthy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon seal formed in his mind, and a trace of golden spiritual power entered the tug of war!
The balance of power tilted in an instant.
Bayan felt that Wang Zhong's power had increased by several times. Both his soul and strength had the absolute advantage.
Wang Zhong's soul slowly returned to its original position in this tug of war. On the contrary, his own soul was firmly held by Wang Zhong, and he was in danger of escaping! He even felt that Wang Zhong's golden spiritual power had an indescribable restraining effect on him. He hated it and did not want to touch it. He instinctively wanted to avoid it!
When experts fought against each other, one side's power suddenly multiplied, while the other side showed signs of fear and retreated. The result was obvious.
Bayan was extremely shocked. It was already incredible that a mere Solid Core could resist his Netherworld Absorption Technique. However, Wang Zhong still had such an explosive power after the tug of war. How could he be a Solid Core? Even most Gold Core experts in the underground world might not have such a strong soul and spiritual power reserve!
"Rise!" In this situation, once he lost the upper hand, he would be defeated. Bayan was the best at this and knew how dangerous it was. At this moment, he did not dare to be careless. He activated his Netherworld Seal, and a black rune instantly shone on the Gold Core in his body. It was as if a seal had been placed on his Gold Core.
Gold Core Secret Technique, Sacrifice!
He said that Wang Zhong would burn his Solid Core to test him, but now, he had no choice but to burn his Gold Core!
The power level of the tug of war instantly increased. Not only did he stabilize the situation, but he even gained a slight upper hand and took the initiative again.
Regardless of whether it was a Void Core, Solid Core, or Gold Core, using a secret technique to burn one's Core could allow one to obtain a powerful and unparalleled explosive power in a short period of time. However, this power had a limited duration. Furthermore, burning one's Core was like burning one's own life! To a Gold Core expert, they could even change their body at will. However, the Gold Core was the essence of life, and there was a mark of life in it. Once it was overdrawn, the damage would be almost irreparable.
Why did he have to pay such a price to deal with a mere Solid Core?!
Bayan was already furious, but before he could vent his anger, the terrifying reality made him instantly sober up.
Even though he had paid such a price, he only gained a slight upper hand! The soul of the small Solid Core was only pulled a few inches out of his body and could not move forward. It was as if the soul had taken root in his body. Furthermore, the entire soul was round and flawless. There was no flaw or loophole for him to grab, and he could not absorb the other party's life force at all.
Although the black gas around him was still nourishing his body, it was becoming less and less, and the range was also becoming smaller and smaller. Without the replenishment of the enemy's life force, the black gas could not be regenerated naturally. Every time it was used, it would decrease.
Bayan burned his Gold Core, but he could not subdue this guy?!
No, not only was he unable to subdue his opponent, he had actually managed to maintain the upper hand for a mere ten seconds or so. When his Jindan burst forth in that instant, his own strength was slowly receding, while his opponent's strength remained constant and unchanging!
This was a Solid Core?! To be able to maintain such power for such a long time, the other party definitely did not use a secret technique like burning his life force. Instead, he relied on his own power?
Wang Zhong had just advanced to the Solid Core Realm and needed an opponent to test himself. Bayan had simply delivered himself to him, and he really wanted to see how powerful the other party was.
Bayan could not believe his eyes. A Gold Core burning his own life force was actually unable to compete with a Solid Core. What the hell was this guy?!
Not only that, Bayan even felt that he was hallucinating. It was as if he saw the gods standing in front of him and working together to suppress him. He was actually fighting against the entire world!
Bayan knew very well that this was just his hallucination and not reality, but so what? Another dangerous aspect of Soul Attacks was that hallucinations were the most fatal when one's Soul Power was being pulled! This meant that one's power was already out of balance, and one's soul was no longer clear and pure …
Boom!
Without the slightest hesitation, he imprinted another secret technique on his Golden Core.
Even for a powerful Gold Core expert, burning his Gold Core for the second time in a short period of time was fatal. Even if he could endure it, he would suffer irreparable injuries in the future. It would be easy for his strength to drop by 20 to 30 percent and not be able to recover! However, he had no choice. He was like a person who was about to die of thirst. Even if he knew that there was a cup of poisoned wine in front of him, he would drink it without hesitation to relieve the itch in his throat.
The power balance that had begun to tilt was pulled back to the balance line again, and it was even faintly pushed back a little by Bayan. However, this time, the speed of the fall was even faster than before. The damage from burning his Gold Core had yet to recover, and he immediately started burning it again.
Lao Wang was still as motionless as a mountain. Although his expression was as calm as water, he was already under pressure. He had already activated his Dragon Breath True Body. Facing this almighty Gold Core expert from the underground world, Lao Wang also wanted to test the limits of his ultimate power. He did not hold back at all. Under the double pressure of his opponent's power and soul, regardless of whether it was his Solid Core or divine cells, they were all stimulated to the extreme.
This was a kind of limit. He felt as if he was strung on a high-pressure steel wire and walking on the edge of danger. However, he was also extremely carefree and comfortable. With such powerful power, he was able to directly fight against an almighty Gold Core expert and unleash his power to the extreme. The feeling of being evenly matched and even having the upper hand was exhilarating!
He was not anxious. In terms of consumption, nibbling away, and recovery, a Solid Core could not compare to a Gold Core. In terms of innate quality, they were inferior. However, he now had divine cells that formed their own internal world and operated naturally. What could recover spiritual power faster than having hundreds of millions of divine cells working at the same time?
This lasted for seven or eight seconds. When the explosive power from the second round of burning his Gold Core was exhausted, Bayan gritted his teeth and condensed the third secret technique in his Gold Core!
However, this time, before the secret technique could be reflected on his Gold Core …
Crack crack crack crack …
Due to the continuous overdraft and injuries, coupled with the high-intensity continuous pressure, Bayan could hear the sound of cracks appearing on his Gold Core. This caused his expression to change rapidly.
He was already at his limit, and now, there was a psychological change …
The battle between the soul and spiritual power seemed boring to outsiders as it was just two figures standing there. However, in reality, this was the most dangerous battle. Once one fell into a disadvantageous position, one would die without a burial place! It was extremely difficult to have a chance to turn the tables!
Bayan's originally proud face instantly turned pale. The Netherworld Absorption Technique could not subdue the enemy, and it immediately turned into a kind of backlash. Furthermore, Wang Zhong was nibbling away at his energy.
In an instant, it was like a landslide!
Countless wisps of black gas in the air instantly disappeared into Bayan's body, as if they had never appeared before. Immediately after, the Gluttonous True Form dissipated, and a gray soul was suddenly pulled out from Bayan's body and flew towards Wang Zhong. Bayan's body fell straight to the ground.
Defeated?! A dignified Gold Core was actually defeated by a Solid Core, and it was in such a way. He lost in a battle of pure spiritual power and power. This was simply unimaginable!
"Pa!"
Wang Zhong only felt that the suction force around him had disappeared, and the strange phenomenon of flying sand and stones in the air had also disappeared instantly. Countless amounts of dust fell to the ground.
He stretched out his left hand, and spiritual power intertwined in his palm as he grabbed the neck of the soul that was flying towards him.
Without a physical body, Yi Ping's rootless soul was as weak as a piece of paper. Perhaps powerful souls could still carry out soul attacks and even create illusions when they were pure souls, frightening ordinary people and even possessing them. These were the so-called ghosts. However, once they encountered an expert like Wang Zhong, soul attacks would be useless. They would be like fish under a knife and could only wait to be slaughtered.
Wang Zhong could feel Bayan's soul struggling frantically in his hand, but to him, the strength of the soul's struggle was no different from that of a mosquito.
"Spare me! Your Highness, spare me! "
The arrogant expression on Bayan's face had long disappeared, and it was replaced with fear and panic. "Don't kill me! I have a magical artifact to cross the river. It can help Your Highness go out to sea! "
Wang Zhong glanced at him indifferently. "If I kill you, I will naturally be able to search your body for it."
"No! No, no, no! "Bayan was horrified." Your Highness, it is useless even if you find it! That is a magical artifact, the Jiuli Warship of the Profound Fire Faction. It has my spiritual power imprint on it. If I do not remove the imprint, even if Your Highness obtains it, you will not be able to use it! I am willing to exchange this item for my life! "
Wang Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly.
All magical artifacts had the user's imprint. If the imprint was not removed, it could not be used. Of course, this kind of ordinary magical artifact imprint could be easily removed by any equipment forging master. However, Lao Wang was in a hurry to go out to sea and did not have the time to slowly find a equipment forging master.
Without hesitation, Lao Wang pointed his finger, and a wave of spiritual power instantly pierced through Bayan's Soul Sea.
Pa!
There was a crisp sound, and the Gold Core shattered. Without the support of a soul, everything was very fragile. If not, even the cracked Gold Core was harder than the hardest substance in the Land. It would not be as easy for Lao Wang to destroy it. Wang Zhong was stunned. Then, the Gold Core shattered.
"Ah ah ah ah!" Bayan howled like a pig being slaughtered. "Little bastard, how dare you …"
"Be careful with your words." Before Bayan could finish howling, Wang Zhong's voice had already sounded. "Whether you want to live or seek death, it is all up to you."
Lao Wang did not mind exchanging the life of this Gold Core for a warship, but it was necessary to destroy the other party's Gold Core. Otherwise, if the other party immediately regretted it after returning to his body, it would take a long time for Lao Wang to capture him again. The other party had the intention to kill him, so what if he destroyed his Gold Core?
As he spoke, Wang Zhong had already let go of Bayan's soul.
Bayan's physical body was not dead. At this time, without Wang Zhong's pull, the soul instantly bounced back into his body and crawled up from the ground.
After all, Bayan was an almighty Gold Core. Putting aside his strength, he had good judgment.
His Gold Core had been destroyed. Although his previous Gold Core physical body was still there, his strength was like that of a cripple. At this time, any Solid Core could probably trample on him, let alone Wang Zhong.
What the other party said was right. Whether he chose to seek death or to live for a few more decades, it was all up to him. At least he still had a Gold Core physical body. If he did not cause any trouble, he could still live safely for a few decades with the lifespan of this Gold Core physical body. He might even find a way to revive his Gold Core …
Hope was often the driving force to linger on.
"I hope you keep your promise …" Bayan took a deep breath and did not say anything unnecessary. He accepted it quickly and took out an item from his space ring.
It was a palm-sized model of a ship. This was the original shape of the artifact. Bayan was right. If he had not unsealed it, Wang Zhong would not have been able to use it. At this time, his Gold Core had been destroyed, and he no longer had any spiritual power. He cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
Naturally, the blood also had his life imprint, and the seal on the warship was instantly unsealed.
Whoosh!
The warship model suddenly grew bigger. It was three meters long and one meter wide. It looked like a small boat.
Profound Fire Faction's Jiuli Warship!
"Good stuff!" This was a pleasant surprise for Lao Wang.
The various large Factions in the Land were built on various nodes of the Netherworld River and were close to the Netherworld River. Naturally, there were various times when they needed to interact with the Netherworld River. The Netherworld River was untouchable to ordinary people, but the various large Factions obviously had their own methods. This Jiuli Warship was the exclusive collection of the Profound Fire Faction. Its entire body was made of Jiuli wood, and it had an extremely strong ability to adapt to the cold power of the Netherworld. Furthermore, there were countless runes on it, and it was enough to resist the impact and corrosion of the water in the Netherworld River. However, it could only resist the impact and corrosion of the Netherworld Water. It did not have any other protection, such as the pressure of the Netherworld aura or the invasion of the will of the Netherworld River. This warship could not do anything as it was impossible to engrave more runic arrays on such a small warship. There was no other way. There was simply too little Jiuli wood, and it was even more difficult to find a large one …
However, this was enough for Lao Wang. He was not afraid of the attack of the Netherworld Water and the resentment of the ghosts. He just needed a carrier that could carry him. Otherwise, he could not fly in the Netherworld Sea. If he had to swim to Hell Island by himself, he did not know how long it would take.
He stretched out his hand and took the warship. He lifted the huge and heavy warship with one hand.
He was pressed for time. He did not know the situation of Mu Zi and Grai, and the Heavenly Gates Celestial Honors Team was ready to set off at any time. He had to fight for every minute and every second.
At this moment, he didn't even look at Elder Bayan, who was next to him. It was as if this mighty Gold Core expert was just an ant. He spread his wings slightly and soared into the sky. He turned into a stream of light and rushed into the depths of the Netherworld Sea. After flying for a few miles, the brilliance in the sky dimmed and he floated down from the sky.
With a splash, the Jiuli Warship appeared on the surface of the sea. The light in the sky floated down. Then, it was driven by spiritual power and carried the entire Jiuli Warship. It broke through the waves and advanced into the depths of the Netherworld Sea. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the monstrous black Netherworld aura.
This Earthling kept his promise and did not kill him. However, Bayan felt that it was a little unbelievable. What happened next was even more shocking. Wang Zhong was able to resist the attack of the Netherworld aura and break through the waves of the Netherworld Sea. The terrifying seawater in the Netherworld Sea was like ordinary water. This was a completely different concept.
The Netherworld Water was heavy. Who could easily separate it? Unless one had an extremely deep understanding of the Netherworld Water, it would be possible. However, even the countless experts in the underground world who cultivated with the Netherworld aura could not do this.
Previously, only the Netherworld King could do this, but now, there was another Wang Zhong! Furthermore, Wang Zhong was originally a member of the Heavenly Gates in the Land. He cultivated orthodox spiritual power and not the Netherworld aura. How could this be possible?!
Were these Earthlings … all monsters? They were so talented in controlling the Netherworld Water.
After being stunned for three to five seconds, Bayan came back to his senses.
Compared to lamenting the abnormality of this Earthling, it was more important for him to leave this place immediately! As a Gold Core, Bayan had been arrogant and despotic for a while. He had offended many people in the underground world. If someone found out that his Gold Core was broken …
Hurry up and leave!
However, just as he lifted his feet, two powerful auras swept over from afar and quickly appeared in the sky.
"Bayan, it's you? Who are you fighting with? "
"Huh? You … "
To be able to fly at such a high speed, the two powerful auras in the sky were undoubtedly Gold Cores. Furthermore, they were 'acquaintances' of Bayan. Although they appeared to be united on the surface, they were actually divided at heart and were secretly scheming against each other. The thought-provoking tone at the end seemed to indicate that they had discovered something.
Damn it! They actually came so quickly!
"Hehe, Elder Bayan." The Gold Core expert in the sky seemed to have forgotten why he had come here. He was in a good mood and said in a cheerful voice, "I heard that when the Factions cleaned up the ruins of the Ninth Shade Faction, Elder Bayan found a lot of good things. Since we met by chance, would you like to share some with me?"
Share? This was daylight robbery!
Bayan's pale face instantly turned as white as a sheet of paper.
It's over!
… …
It was on a dark brown island.
Hell Island had never been a deserted place. Although very few people from the underground world had come here, it was not completely unheard of. Countless eras ago, there were various legends about the three forbidden places in the depths of the Netherworld Sea.
According to the legends, the Netherworld King had once shown his true body in the underground world, and this place used to be the Netherworld King's palace. Because of the Netherworld King's eccentric hobbies, he bred various powerful hybrid species here.
There was a flaming hellhound with three huge heads, a succubus that was a hybrid between a devil and a goddess … All the terrifying creatures that one could imagine that were related to the Dark Hell actually originated from here. Furthermore, those so-called legends were just the tip of the iceberg on this island.
These mutated species were originally the Netherworld King's private collection. However, after the Netherworld King disappeared, some of these mutated species escaped from Hell Island and wandered to the outside world. They even left behind tribes and legends in the outside world. Most of them reproduced on Hell Island on their own, turning this place into a paradise for monsters.
In the deepest part of the island, surrounded by towering trees, stood a palace that had been in ruins since a long time ago. After experiencing countless eras, this palace that should have been glorious had long since become dilapidated, and no divine light could be seen from it. However, perhaps it was because of their past habits and the fear of the Netherworld King in their bones, this dilapidated and powerless palace became the center of protection for all the monsters on the island. Only the more powerful monsters could stay closer to the palace, causing the hierarchy of the monsters on the island to be very strict.
There were very few outsiders who came to Hell Island. Sometimes, not a single person would come for one or two eras. The distribution of the monsters on the island had not changed for a very long time. After fighting for so many years, all the monsters were well aware of how strong a tribe was, how much power they had, and how many trump cards they had. They were wary of each other and would not easily start a war. Unless a super heaven-defying expert suddenly appeared in one of the clans, they would be able to break this situation slightly and allow their clan's territory to move a step or two closer to the depths of the palace. However, this usually only happened once or twice in an era. This caused Hell Island to be immersed in relative peace most of the time.
However, today, this peace was destined to be broken …
In the dense forest, an enormous three-headed Cerberus was shivering. In front of it stood a bald human who carried a strange wooden box on his back. Behind the bald human, his originally powerful pack of hundreds of Cerberus had been turned into lifeless corpses. The smell of blood permeated the air. All of the Cerberus had their necks entangled by the gray Nether energy. After that, the thick and powerful neck muscles of the Cerberus that were as thick as tree trunks were forcefully broken! Heads flew everywhere, and blood splattered all over the ground.
The bald human had a smile on his face, and his gentle voice sounded like that of a devil. "Subdue? Or die? "
The three-headed hellhound's eyes were bloodshot. Beasts also had their own protectors. They, who had developed intelligence a long time ago, valued the concept of a tribe more than many humans. It struggled while trembling, as if it was fighting against its own fear. Closely after, a blood-red light suddenly flashed in its eyes, and it bared its ferocious fangs. A massive wave of blood aura that was comparable to that of a Gold Core expert spread from its body!
However, before the blood aura that spread out could completely condense, three crisp cracking sounds could be heard. The pupils of the three-headed hellhound suddenly contracted, and all the power that it had condensed quickly dissipated from its body. Its three heads were torn off its neck like scallions, and blood spurted tens of meters high!
Rumble …
The huge body crashed onto the ground with a loud sound. The bald human smiled. "As a dog, you actually dare to bare your fangs at your master. You deserve to die.
"Killing will only expose your cowardice!" Behind the bald human, a human who was following closely said, "Mu Zi, I know you can hear my voice. No matter what happens, you must hold on. He will definitely come!"
'Mu Zi' laughed cruelly. "Didn't you feel that he has no reaction to your voice? Give up, Grai. Mu Zi is no longer here. Your talents are not bad. If you are loyal to me, I will make you my agent in this world. You will be below me and above everyone else. "
"If Mu Zi is really no longer here, you will kill me without any hesitation." Grai laughed coldly. "The only reason you can continue to endure my nagging is that Mu Zi is still here. He is instinctively resisting."
"You keep provoking me." The Netherworld King looked at him calmly. "Aren't you afraid that I will really kill you in a fit of anger?"
"Heh, Mu Zi fished you out of the Netherworld River. If not for Mu Zi, you would never have experienced the brilliance of this world. How can a stupid, low-class creature like you understand our will? No matter how you imitate or display it, it is just a display of inferiority," Grai said calmly. He did not hide the contempt he had for the Netherworld King.
"… You are indeed very smart." The bald human laughed. "You want to provoke me into killing you so that you can trigger the last bit of Mu Zi's consciousness to resist?"
"Do you dare?" Grai's voice was unusually calm. "Don't you think that you are omnipotent?"
"Heh heh … It is better not to lie to smart people. Otherwise, it will be very tiring." The Netherworld King laughed. "You guessed correctly. Mu Zi has not completely dissipated, but don't think that this is the only reason why I won't kill you. Little Grai, I really admire you and want to take you under my command. Otherwise, so what if I kill you and trigger the last bit of Mu Zi's consciousness? It is just a little bit of his consciousness. Even if he awakens, do you think he can really resist me? "
"Then why don't you try?"
"… Looks like you are just pretending to be smart." The Netherworld King laughed strangely. "You are not afraid of death. However, the more one is not afraid of death, the more tragic their death is. Heh heh, after staying by my side for so long, don't you know that death is sometimes a form of release? "
The strange voice made Grai shiver involuntarily. He had seen many of the Netherworld King's methods, especially in the past two days after coming to Hell Island. Even Grai's scalp would turn numb when he saw those scenes where one would rather die than live.
