"Mu Zi's remaining consciousness is just a small hidden danger to me. It is not much of a threat. I will choose to be safe, but this does not mean that I cannot use force. "The Netherworld King calmly said," I can give you a little more time to think about it. But remember, when I reach the Netherworld Palace, you must make your choice. "
The Netherworld Palace was the palace that was hidden in the deepest part of the forest. The Netherworld King could sense his past memories and hidden power there. Ever since he had taken control, he realized that there were secrets hidden in his consciousness. If he wanted to completely awaken and return to his peak, he had to obtain everything in the Netherworld Palace. However, before that, he had to kill even more. He wanted the bloodthirsty will to completely devour the consciousness hidden in Mu Zi's body. Only then would he become the only owner of this body and be qualified to accept everything related to the identity of the Netherworld King.
"Of course, you can also choose to escape." As he spoke, he continued to advance into the depths of the forest. However, he did not head straight for the Netherworld Palace. Instead, he was looking for the next place where the monster race resided. "However, without Mu Zi's Life and Death Coffin, even if you leave Hell Island, will you be able to cross the Netherworld River? Tsk tsk tsk tsk … "
Grai's expression was unusually ugly. He knew that what the Netherworld King had said about Mu Zi was not false. All the efforts that he had put in were basically in vain. As for himself, it was impossible for him to escape. The Netherworld King was right. Without Mu Zi's Life and Death Coffin and being trapped in the depths of the Netherworld River, he could not go anywhere. Furthermore, he could not escape either. As long as the Netherworld King did not step into his Netherworld Palace to accept his past memories and inheritance, it meant that Mu Zi's consciousness had not completely dissipated. As long as Mu Zi still had a breath left, it meant that his hope had not been completely cut off.
It was very likely that Mu Zi's remaining consciousness was observing the outside world. If it saw that Grai had given up, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back. There was no doubt that Mu Zi would sink into complete despair, and it would be difficult for him to have any chance of making a comeback.
When he saw that the figure in front of him was about to disappear into the forest, Grai took a deep breath and quickly followed.
It was an extremely slim hope, but as long as it existed, he could still see the light that he should have in this darkness.
… …
The Jiuli Warship was indeed able to resist the corrosion and invasion of the Netherworld Water. This was mostly due to the special material, the Jiuli Yin Wood. However, it was only the hull of the warship that was not corroded. If one wanted to resist the endless resentment and fatal Netherworld Aura in the Netherworld River, they would still have to rely on their individual strength.
Lao Wang did not know just how long he had traveled in the Netherworld River.
The darkness surrounding the Netherworld River was endless, and there was no light at all. Furthermore, the thick fog prevented one from seeing anything, and the magnetic field was also extremely chaotic. It was impossible to determine the direction and location of one's body.
Lao Wang's only method was to continuously use the bronze mirror to lock onto Grai and Mu Zi's coordinates. Through this, he could determine the location of Hell Island and correct his direction.
Every time he used the bronze mirror, he would consume more than half of his spiritual power. Then, he would use the Vitality Supplement Pill to slowly recover his spiritual power. Once he had completely recovered, he would use the bronze mirror again to correct his route. Lao Wang had used the bronze mirror at least 30 times. Based on the fact that he needed about four hours of Earth time to recover each time, he had traveled in the Netherworld River for more than five days.
This amount of time had exceeded Lao Wang's expectations. He had estimated the distance between Hell Island and Netherworld River City. If he used the Jiuli Warship at full speed, it would take him two to three days at most. However, the deeper he went into the Netherworld River, the stronger the pressure around him became. The seawater also became increasingly 'thick and heavy'. It was already difficult to maintain a normal speed of the warship even when he activated the bronze mirror at full speed. It would be an extravagant hope if he wanted to easily break through the waves and advance like he did at the seaside.
Furthermore, the deeper he went into the Netherworld River, the thicker the Netherworld aura around him became. He had thought that with his strength, it would not be difficult for him to travel in the Netherworld River. However, when he approached the depths of the Netherworld River … The seawater here was no longer as rotten and bloody as the water in ordinary Netherworld River. On the contrary, it felt even more 'pure'. Even the extremely mournful wails and howls had disappeared, replaced by an empty silence. It was as if all the sounds on the sea had disappeared, and even the sound of the waves could not be heard. Other than the silence in the surroundings, there was only silence, as if he was the only one left in the entire world.
There was no rotting stench, nor were there any sounds of resentment. However, this was just another extreme form of purity. Lao Wang could clearly sense that the evil and Netherworld power in the Netherworld River around him had gathered to an unimaginable peak. As a result, he could no longer sense anything else. It was as if one had fallen into endless darkness for 10,000 years and had forgotten the brightness and colors of the sun. Furthermore, one had lost the ability to distinguish all evil. Thus, this illusion that made one tremble with fear appeared.
Even someone as strong as Lao Wang started to feel suffocated in the face of this terrifying Netherworld aura. Furthermore, this was just the oppression brought about by the powerful Netherworld pressure. What was even more terrifying was the environment. There was clearly endless evil around him, but it seemed to be an empty environment. This feeling was as if he was in a boundless and dark hell, and countless pitch-black eyes that were filled with resentment stared at him without blinking. They did not make any sound, nor did they disturb him in any other way. They simply looked at him quietly, as if they were waiting for him to become one of them …
This was Lao Wang. His state of mind and soul were different from ordinary people. Even though he felt a chill down his spine and his hair stood on end, he was still able to firmly guard his heart and not be confused.
More than five hours had passed since the last investigation. The recovery speed of his spiritual power had clearly slowed down the deeper they went. However, he could see that they were very close to each other during the previous investigation. Just as Lao Wang was about to open the bronze mirror again to confirm Mu Zi and Grai's coordinates, he saw a strange scarlet light faintly flickering in the sky above the originally pitch-black and empty surface of the sea.
That was … Hell Island!
After drifting on the Netherworld River for a few days, Lao Wang's tired spirit was roused.
It was said to be an island, but when he got closer, he realized that it did not seem like the scale of an island. Instead, it was more like a continent.
From the moment Lao Wang saw the strange and demonic scarlet light from afar, it took him a total of three to four hours to finally get close. The closer he got to Hell Island, the more obvious the scarlet light became. The red light that covered the clouds and covered the entire sky. However, it was still dim. When he got closer, he realized that the red that was reflected in the sky was the color of the soil on this continent.
He had finally arrived!
"Hmm?"
Just as he reached the shore, a strong smell of blood and decay drifted over with the sea breeze. Wang Zhong looked up and saw that there were broken corpses all over the vast scarlet beach.
Wang Zhong looked up and saw that the spacious Scarlet Beach was filled with broken corpses. Most of them belonged to various types of strange beasts and low-leveled creatures from hell, such as hellhounds, blood bats, ghostkissed orchids, bone demons, corpse demons, and so on. However, all of them had perished, and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground. Looking across the entire beach, there were probably more than a thousand of them. Wang Zhong raised his head and looked over. The extremely strong Netherworld aura here had a strong corrosive effect on corpses. However, from the degree of decay that these corpses had left behind, they should have died in the past few days.
As he put away the Jiuli Warship, he spread his divine sense around the coast to investigate.
One kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers … The more his divine sense spread, the more his heart sank.
Back in the Mizobudapi World, Lao Wang had seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood from hundreds of thousands of people. However, he had never felt as fearful as he did now.
Along the coast, within a range of ten kilometers that his divine sense could cover, there were bloody corpses everywhere!
Five thousand? Ten thousand? How many exactly had they killed? At that moment, Hell Island, which should have been a place where the alien race flourished, was filled with corpses. The scarlet blood had solidified in the soil, and the boundless resentment was covered and absorbed by the Netherworld aura. The entire island was frighteningly quiet, and not even a bird could be seen.
Although the strength of these alien races was unknown, they were able to survive under the high Netherworld pressure on Hell Island. At the very least, they were comparable to Solid Core practitioners. However, they had been killed so easily. Other than the Netherworld King, who controlled Mu Zi's body, Lao Wang simply could not think of anyone else who could do this. Furthermore, the strength of this massacre was much more terrifying than what he had heard about when the Netherworld King had massacred the Ninth Shade Faction in the underground world.
It looked like the Netherworld King's strength was continuously increasing. Perhaps it was because Hell Island was his territory, but Lao Wang felt that it was more related to the degree to which he controlled Mu Zi.
Wang Zhong's thoughts raced. Over the past few days he had drifted on the Netherworld River, he had imagined the various situations that could happen on the island.
From the looks of it, Mu Zi's soul should not have been completely destroyed. If not, Grai would not still be by the Netherworld King's side. Furthermore, such a bloody massacre was probably a part of the Netherworld King's preparation to seize Mu Zi's body. He probably wanted to use the murderous intent and the resentment of these creatures to wear away Mu Zi's final consciousness.
There should still be a chance, but he had to hurry!
Wang Zhong did not use the bronze mirror to search for Mu Zi and Grai's location. He could confirm that the Netherworld King was undoubtedly the one who had forcefully cut off his connection with Grai and the others several times. The Netherworld King had been vigilant and was on guard against this. If he used the bronze mirror, he would only expose his location for no reason.
Luckily, the countless corpses on the ground were the best guiding light.
Lao Wang's divine senses continued to spread. His figure had already dashed along the bloodstains of the massacre.
… …
Rumble rumble rumble …
A Zhuyan beast with a single eye and a huge stick in its hand fell down with a loud bang. Its round table-sized head had already been easily twisted off, and its huge single eye was wide open, filled with terror and unwillingness.
The Netherworld King casually waved his hand, and a grey, soul-like fog-like object was extracted from the one-eyed Zhuyan's body. Then, it was absorbed into the Netherworld King's body.
He comfortably opened his arms and closed his eyes to enjoy the process of fusing with the fog-like object, or rather, devouring it. A few seconds later, he slowly opened his eyes.
"What a delicious soul." His voice was filled with joy. "Using the body of a human to devour is a different taste. Compared to devouring those dirty souls in the rotting Netherworld River, I feel as if I'm in heaven now."
"You should go to hell," Grai said coldly. He could sense that the Netherworld King's power had increased slightly. This was a normal occurrence every time he devoured a powerful soul. The strength of this Zhuyan was rather terrifying, and it was no longer any weaker than the Gold Cores from the various large Factions in the underground world. However, it still did not have the slightest ability to resist the Netherworld King.
Grai did not care about the life or death of the Zhuyan, but he knew that the stronger the Netherworld King was, the weaker Mu Zi would be.
"Ha, ha ha ha ha! You seem to have forgotten that I am hell. " The Netherworld King laughed loudly. From where he was standing, he could see that the main hall of the Netherworld Palace was less than five kilometers away.
"I've said it before. When you come to the Netherworld Palace, it's time for you to make a decision." The Netherworld King smiled and turned around. "Grai, it's time for you to tell me your choice. Will you submit, or will you choose death? "
Grai stopped in his tracks.
He had thought that he still had some time, but the speed at which the Netherworld King advanced through Hell Island was faster than he had imagined. They had already circled around Hell Island over a dozen times and killed their way in layer by layer. Currently, it would be difficult to find many living creatures on Hell Island. The Netherworld King's blood sacrifice had been completed. Previously, Mu Zi had only killed a few dozen people at the Dragon's Head Shore, and it had been very difficult for Mu Zi to control the power that the Netherworld King had unleashed. However, this time … after the battle at the Ninth Shade Faction, as well as the massacre and bloodshed of hundreds of thousands of people, the Netherworld King's power continued to increase. Furthermore, he had finally decided to enter the Netherworld Palace. Grai knew that Mu Zi had probably completely disappeared this time.
It was sad and lamentable. That little baldy who loved to laugh had actually left silently …
"Before I answer, I want to ask you a question," Grai said calmly. "This is also the question that Mu Zi asked me to ask."
"Oh? This little fellow has a last wish? "The Netherworld King laughed." I'm starting to miss Mu Zi's voice. "
"What do you plan to do after you completely control this body?"
"You are a smart person. Even if I don't say it, you should be able to guess it." The Netherworld King laughed loudly and did not hide his naked bloodthirsty killing intent. "I control death, and all living creatures stand against me. Furthermore, I have only disappeared for a period of time, but even the underground world has lost its respect for me. I feel that there is a need to give them a punishment that they will never forget, just like the current Hell Island. Only these fearful souls are the best congratulatory gift for me to return to the peak! "
"As expected …" Grai sighed. This was the reason why he and Mu Zi did not dare to compromise with the Netherworld King.
In the end, they had still reached this stage. Even though Grai had already guessed that this would happen when he stepped onto Hell Island, he still could not help but sigh silently when this moment arrived.
"Ever since I came to the underground world, Mu Zi and I have fought side by side for a very long time. We are as close as brothers … This should have been a battle between Mu Zi and me." Grai's gaze was unusually calm, and there was no trace of the anxiousness and anticipation in his eyes over the past few days. It was as if he had thought things through and let go of everything. "However, I never expected that I would be the only soldier left in the end. I didn't even get to see Mu Zi one last time."
"From your tone, you don't seem to have any intention of surrendering." The Netherworld King smiled. "You Earthlings are indeed creatures with very strong personalities. You are very bold and never know how to respect the strong, even if it means death."
"You are wrong. We respect all experts, but we do not have the habit of being slaves. Furthermore, we will not sell our souls to demons." Grai's voice gradually turned cold, and there was less regret in his voice. His gaze also became more determined, and suddenly, a bright light shot out. "Furthermore, you are too confident. However, I am not the only one who does not know death!"
As Grai spoke, he opened his palm, and a runic array that had been engraved on his palm suddenly shone!
It was a gray runic array. As the runic array in his hand shone, a similar gray runic array also shone on the Netherworld King's chest and the Life and Death Coffin on his back. The moment the three gray runic arrays shone, they formed a line, as if there was an invisible link connecting them.
The Netherworld King raised his eyebrows slightly.
On the other hand, Grai felt as if his entire body had been frozen by an invisible force. He couldn't even move his fingers, but he didn't care. He just stared at the Netherworld King, who was opposite him, nervously and unblinkingly.
This was secretly set up by Mu Zi when he was awake. It was a sacrificial technique that originated from the Life and Death Coffin. He offered his physical body and soul, which had been engraved with the runic array, to the Life and Death Coffin and the country of the dead.
Although Mu Zi had never displayed the true power of the Life and Death Coffin, he knew that this item was mysterious. It was definitely not a level that a Gold Core in the Land could contend against. Borrowing the power of the Life and Death Coffin was the only way that Mu Zi and Grai could think of to keep the Netherworld King in check. The three runic arrays belonged to the same body. When any one of them was activated, the other two would naturally be activated. The runic array was engraved on Grai's body so that he could activate this sacrificial runic array when Mu Zi could no longer control his body.
This was their final and strongest technique, but it was also a technique that would definitely kill them. Once the sacrificial ritual was activated, it could not be stopped. Regardless of whether it was Mu Zi, who was the main body, or Grai, who was the initiator, they would definitely be completely devoured by the powerful power of the Life and Death Coffin. However, even though they had put in so much effort, neither Mu Zi nor Grai had absolute confidence in whether they could subdue the Netherworld King in the end. They would only know the results in actual combat.
"You and that little fellow actually have such a technique. Why did you only use it now?" The Netherworld King seemed to have tried to break free and actually failed. However, he did not seem to panic. Grai had been observing him. It was obvious that the Netherworld King could not even move a finger. The two of them stood opposite each other without moving, but the life and death roulette had already been activated! Not only were the two of them unable to move, even the Netherworld aura in the surrounding space had retreated and disappeared. The surroundings were quiet and empty, and the scene was extremely strange.
Success!
No one wanted to die, and Grai did not want to either. He also did not want to directly cut off Mu Zi's chance to struggle. Thus, he waited until the last moment. As for asking about the future of the Earth, that was just to delay a little bit of preparation time. Both Grai and Mu Zi understood the Netherworld King too well. Once Mu Zi's soul completely dissipated, he would not keep his promise.
"Cut the crap!" When he saw that the Netherworld King was in a predicament where he could not move, Grai's eyes lit up, and his confidence increased. Although he could not move his body, he could still use his spiritual power to accelerate the activation of the sacrificial runic array. At that moment, he shouted sternly, "Today is the day you die!"
The sacrificial runic array activated even faster under his control. Very quickly, a gap opened up in the Life and Death Coffin on the Netherworld King's back, and a powerful suction force was instantly emitted from the Life and Death Coffin.
The three were connected, and Grai felt that the power in his entire body was rapidly flowing away. The originally smooth skin on his body was drying up at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. It was as if the blood in his entire body was being frantically extracted by the Life and Death Coffin. Opposite him, the Netherworld King was obviously not much better. At that moment, his physical body was wrapped in endless Netherworld aura and was much stronger than Grai's. For a moment, he was not affected, but waves of grayish-black souls were continuously extracted from his body and devoured by the Life and Death Coffin …
Grai was overjoyed. The power of the sacrificial runic array that came with the Life and Death Coffin seemed to be stronger than his and Mu Zi's original expectations.
His slightly apprehensive heart finally relaxed. It seemed that the Life and Death Coffin could indeed subdue the Netherworld King. This artifact was too heaven-defying, and its grade was probably higher than Mu Zi's original expectations. However, it was a pity that it was destined to fall on Hell Island and be covered in dust. No one knew how many eras it would be discovered by others.
The gap in the Life and Death Coffin widened, and the devouring power of flesh and life became stronger. In just a short span of three to five seconds, Grai felt that his spiritual will had started to become blurry, and he was becoming weak from the devouring power of the Life and Death Coffin.
"If you kill Mu Zi, Mu Zi will also kill you!"
Before he could finish this thought, he suddenly felt that the sacrificial runic array in his hand had dimmed and rapidly disappeared. It was as if someone was using an invisible eraser to "wipe" it off his hand.
It was the Netherworld King!
Grai was horrified to discover that although the Netherworld King could not move his body, the Netherworld aura that he could control was simply too powerful. Clouds of grayish Netherworld aura condensed and transformed into a small hand. Under the Netherworld King's control, he continuously used Netherworld power to wipe his palm. Meanwhile, the light from the sacrificial runic array rapidly dimmed under the cover of the Netherworld aura.
"I'm just teasing you." The Netherworld King's laughter sounded beside his ear. "Child's play. A dead object actually wants to deal with someone as great as me."
Just as he finished speaking, the sacrificial runic array in Grai's hand, as well as the one on the Netherworld King's chest, had completely disappeared! Then, there was a "pa" sound. The opened Life and Death Coffin closed, and the devouring power from the Life and Death Coffin immediately disappeared.
Grai's pupils suddenly contracted. His body had already been devoured by the Life and Death Coffin, and he was rather weak and old. At that moment, he was in complete despair. His body went limp, and he sat on the ground.
He knew that he would definitely die. If he could drag the Netherworld King down with him, not only would he have taken revenge for Mu Zi and himself, but he would also have avoided a great disaster for the Earth. He was not worried that the Netherworld King would take the initiative to look for the Earth. After all, the Earth was not eye-catching, and it was unlikely that the Netherworld King would specially make a trip there. However, the Netherworld King would use Mu Zi's identity to kill wantonly in the underground world … Regardless of whether it was the Star Alliance or the powerful civilizations in the underground world, they would definitely blame the Earth for this. That would definitely be a disaster.
However, he did not expect that even after sacrificing Mu Zi's and his own lives, they could not even harm a single hair on the Netherworld King's body. In this world, the strongest was still power.
"I gave you a chance to choose, but you did not know how rare such an opportunity was. You actually did not know how to cherish it." The Netherworld King sighed and shook his head, but he was actually in a good mood. This was because he could feel the freedom that Mu Zi's will had completely dissipated. "It's time to send you on your way."
The threat of the Life and Death Coffin had disappeared, and the surrounding Netherworld aura enveloped them once again. The Netherworld King's figure had already appeared in front of Grai. His body did not look tall, but at that moment, he was as lofty as a mountain and could not be surpassed.
Death was at hand, but Grai surprisingly closed his eyes calmly. He did not have the time to reflect on his life. At that moment, he thought about the leisurely life he had in Tianjing. That was the happiest time in his life.
"Die." The Netherworld King raised his hand, and a gray Netherworld aura suddenly wrapped around Grai's neck.
Huh?!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Before the Netherworld aura could touch Grai, a few sword glows had already shot towards the Netherworld King from afar. The sword glows were fast and swift. Not only were their attacks extremely powerful, but they also contained the power of the rules. It was as if they could ignore all the defenses in this world and penetrate everything!
The Netherworld King was not willing to use his body to block the attack. After all, this was a body that he had just taken over. In fact, he had not even completed the final fusion of his origin consciousness and had not undergone the true Netherworld King's revival ceremony. If he was not careful and got injured, it would be extremely troublesome to recover.
At that moment, while he was slightly surprised, he instinctively flew back. Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh! The extremely hard rock layer of Hell Island was as soft as tofu in front of the sword glows. In an instant, 17 to 18 deep sword holes were left on the ground. Meanwhile, the Netherworld aura that was wrapping around Grai's neck was forcefully dispersed by the sword glows.
Grai was suddenly shocked and opened his eyes.
Before he could see the source of the sword glows, a fleeting sound had already rushed towards him.
Hu ~ ~
A black figure rushed over like a gust of wind and instantly stood in front of Grai.
This was … Grai was shocked and astonished. At that moment, he saw that the person standing in front of him was a slightly thin and small Black Titan.
There was a Black Titan on Hell Island, and he had saved him? Grai could not imagine this. He did not have any relations with the Black Titans. Furthermore, this Black Titan was so special and actually used a sword … Didn't those uncouth black people always like to use powerful and heavy weapons?
"It's you?" The Netherworld King recognized him at a glance. It was not because of the appearance of the Black Titan, but because of the aura on that person's body.
A few months ago, the Netherworld King had known about the existence of the owner of this aura. He had used the ancient Spirit Mirror to spy on them in secret and had even wanted to contact Mu Zi and Grai. However, Grai had secretly isolated him every time.
Did the Netherworld King know him?
Grai suddenly sensed something and looked at Lao Black, who was famous for his violent temper in the underground world.
Lao Black stretched out his hand and wiped his face. A mask fell off. It was not an ordinary mask. Instead, it had the effect of transforming his entire body. The tall figure of the Black Titan rapidly shrank by two sizes and became the size of an ordinary Earthling. His face was also revealed.
It was Wang Zhong! Wang Zhong was not dead?
Grai was both surprised and happy. He was trapped in the terrifying Hell Island and had to face a big shot like the Netherworld King alone and without any help. Only he knew exactly what kind of pressure he was enduring. Being able to see his senior at this moment was simply like a traveler who had suddenly returned home after a long journey. The warmth and fullness he felt was incomparable, causing him to be extremely happy.
"Wang Zhong! Mu Zi has already … "
There was no need for Grai to continue. Lao Wang understood everything just by looking at the situation.
Fear? Nervousness? Apprehension? There was none. Instead, he was filled with rage and could not tolerate any other impurities.
He had come a step too late. Regardless of whether it was the books on souls that he had read in the library out of interest or his own understanding of souls, Lao Wang was too clear about the so-called possession. Since the Netherworld King had dared to attack Grai and was not affected by the will in his body, then the will that Mu Zi had left in his body had probably completely dissipated. If not, he definitely would not have attacked Grai.
"My name is Mu Zi. I'm bald, not bald."
"Wang Zhong, did you bring cola?"
A few familiar scenes flashed past Lao Wang's mind. That fellow, who always loved to laugh, had turned into ashes just like that? Furthermore, if one was possessed by an existence like the Netherworld King, one would not even have the chance to reincarnate. That was definitely a true and complete death!
Lao Wang was restraining himself. He was someone who would not be shocked even if the sky collapsed, but at that moment, his hands were trembling slightly from anger. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the difference in strength between him and the Netherworld King, who could destroy the entire Ninth Shade Faction. He did not even turn around to look at Grai and simply said with his back facing him, "The ship is by the sea. Quickly leave. If I don't return in the end, report what happened here to the Star Alliance and tell Ma Dong. He will know how to help the Earth avoid a disaster."
"Senior …" Grai was slightly dumbfounded.
Although Wang Zhong looked completely different from the last time they had met in the Heavenly Treasures Street, the person standing in front of him was the terrifying Netherworld King. Even almighty Gold Cores could not withstand a single blow from him. Now that Senior was facing him … Grai had already recovered from his wild joy. He did not dare to imagine that if even Wang Zhong died here, the Earth would truly be finished. There would be no room for them to turn things around.
"Don't hesitate." Wang Zhong interrupted Grai. "The Star Alliance has already interfered. If the Earth does not know about this beforehand and if the Star Alliance does not know about the Earth's stance on this matter, the Earthlings will only have a path of death!"
"Even if we have to leave …" When Grai said this, he shut his mouth. He wanted to say that even if someone had to leave, it should be Wang Zhong. However, he knew that he did not have the strength to help Wang Zhong delay the Netherworld King. Thus, the two of them could only die together. Wang Zhong should not have appeared to save him. However, since he had appeared, only he had a sliver of a chance to delay the Netherworld King and buy time for him to leave.
"What a good brotherly love." The Netherworld King laughed. "It's a pity that it's all a waste of effort. If you only rely on a broken ship that was hollowed out from the Shade Wood, perhaps you can withstand the Netherworld aura and resentment and cross the sea, but Grai? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, he does not have this ability. "
The Shade Wood Ship? It was the Jiuli Warship, right?
Grai was rather familiar with the artifacts in the underground world that could allow one to cross the Netherworld River. Upon hearing this, he knew that the Netherworld King was right. He indeed did not have the strength to cross the Netherworld Sea alone. He had gone deep into the Netherworld Sea several times, and he had relied on Mu Zi's protection … This was also good. Although he had wasted Wang Zhong's good intentions and might even cause the Earth to be in danger, at least he did not have to be conflicted now.
He dragged his weak and old body to stand up and quietly stood beside Wang Zhong.
Meanwhile, Wang Zhong furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Just by looking at Grai's expression, he knew that what the Netherworld King had said was probably true. Furthermore, the Netherworld King knew about the Jiuli Warship. The entire Hell Island was probably under his surveillance. Thus, when he reached the shore and landed on the island, he had probably been exposed to the Netherworld King's senses.
"You already knew that I was coming."
"Of course. Furthermore, I already knew before you reached Hell Island. As for what happened after that, when you landed on the island and what you did, did you think that you could escape my eyes and ears? "the Netherworld King calmly said." If not, why do you think I chose to attack Grai at this time? I just wanted to give you a big gift before you came. It's a pity that you were faster than I expected. You actually saved someone … "
Wang Zhong's gaze was cold, but Grai's heart trembled slightly. Had the Netherworld King lied to him? The Netherworld King did not attack him because of Mu Zi, but because of Wang Zhong's appearance? Did this mean that Mu Zi's remnant soul had not completely disappeared?
"I can sense that there are many interesting things on you." The Netherworld King's mind was no longer on Grai. Instead, he was sizing up Wang Zhong with interest. In reality, other than eliminating Mu Zi's remnant soul over the past few days, he had also been waiting for Wang Zhong.
This was an Earthling that he was very interested in. His relationship with Mu Zi and Grai was secondary. Most importantly, he was just a small Void Core, but he could actually use the 'Heavenly Mirror'. He had deliberately placed it in the Netherworld River for Mu Zi to obtain. Although it was just a small toy of some people in the Heaven, it was not something that ordinary people could use. In fact, it had nothing to do with the strength of one's spiritual power. He had prepared it for his future self, but he did not expect that Mu Zi and Grai would give it to Wang Zhong. Furthermore, Wang Zhong could actually use it. These Earthlings definitely had many secrets.
"Since you know so much, you must have sensed the most exciting part of me."
"Oh? Tell me about it. "
"My wish to kill you." As soon as Lao Wang finished speaking, the Hidden Dragon Sword in his hand vibrated and vibrated. He simply could not wait for even a second when facing the main culprit who had killed Mu Zi!
The invisible Netherworld aura and murderous aura in the surroundings suddenly froze, as if they had been drawn in by the power of the Hidden Dragon Sword. A large area of space fell into Wang Zhong's control.
However, this control only lasted for a second. Closely after, the feeling of control completely disappeared.
This situation was simply unprecedented. Even when he faced Elder Hades when his strength was low, it had taken him a lot of effort to break through his three sword techniques. Furthermore, there were traces of how he had broken through his attack. It was completely unlike now. Lao Wang did not even know how exactly his opponent had broken through his attack. He only felt that under the interference of a strange power, the so-called sword power simply dissipated, and the power could not even leave the Hidden Dragon Sword! It was as if his sword technique had been sealed.
"He can control Netherworld aura. Wherever there is Netherworld aura, it is his rule domain!" Grai's voice rapidly sounded from behind Lao Wang.
The Domain of Laws was a realm that was completely above that of Jindan powerhouses. Jindan powerhouses could only use their Domain of Laws in a small area, with restrictions. But within the scope of the Domain of Laws, the owner of the Domain would be able to achieve true Domain of Laws! If he said that there was no sword power, the rule domain would not be able to produce sword power!
"Ha? Ha ha ha ha. Many people want to kill me, but in the end, they are the ones who die. " The Netherworld King did not seem to have made any movements. "All of you still don't understand how huge the difference between gods and mortals is!"
As he spoke, the Netherworld aura in the surroundings enveloped him without any warning. Lao Wang's true form suddenly activated, but before his dazzling energy wings could spread out, they were tightly wrapped and suppressed by the thick Netherworld aura in the surroundings.
The rule of the rule domain!
The surrounding Netherworld pressure instantly increased crazily by 10 times, 100 times, and even 1,000 times!
Lao Wang, who had just broken through to the Solid Core Realm, could even kill Gold Cores. However, at that moment, before he could even make a move, he could already feel the absolute suppression! The crazily increasing Netherworld pressure instantly reached the critical point that his body could withstand. The Netherworld aura in the air was so dense that it felt like solid steel was pressing against him. Meanwhile, the gravity of the ground made Wang Zhong feel as if he was carrying a weight of 1,000 tons on his back!
From the beginning, the Netherworld King, who had gradually controlled his body and consciousness, had been playing around. He had just awakened, so he was very playful. In terms of strength, he could crush these ants, but on the other hand, he had a weak body. Although his life imprint was a rare match, if he used too much power, this rare body would collapse. However, there was definitely something he wanted in the shrine.
Wang Zhong's expression rapidly changed. He felt that his body was suddenly fixed in place and could not move.
His estimation of the Netherworld King's strength was still at the battle when the Netherworld King had destroyed the Ninth Shade Faction. Although he had used the power of the Netherworld River to destroy the Ninth Shade Faction, according to the descriptions of the survivors and the version that had been spread in the underground world, the Netherworld King's combat power was not particularly strong. Furthermore, he was using Mu Zi's body. The strength of his power and his body had to match. However, it was obvious that he had underestimated the Netherworld King's level of power.
Just the terrifying Netherworld pressure alone made it almost impossible for Lao Wang to move. Even the spiritual power in his body could not circulate smoothly, and he could not even spread the wings of his true form. Beside him, Grai had been firmly pressed to the ground by the powerful Netherworld aura, and even breathing had become difficult. The Netherworld King seemed to be intentionally maintaining Grai's vitality and did not want him to die easily.
However, sitting and waiting for death was not Wang Zhong's habit. No matter how strong the Netherworld King was, he would definitely not leave Mu Zi alone. Thus, when he came here, Wang Zhong did not consider matters of life and death. If death was his final destination, at least he could choose how he died!
Every inch of his muscles and every bit of his spiritual power had been bound by the Netherworld pressure, but his Soul Sea was still free. He did not rush here without any preparations at all. Dragon power had an innate suppression on evil aura, deathly aura, and Netherworld aura. Furthermore, it was very specific. This was his trump card. He had to go all out!
Half a dragon's head formed in his mind with great difficulty.
This was too difficult. The pressure that his physical body and his Solid Core were enduring was too great, and he had consumed too much of his mind and energy. The half dragon's head had just formed when it dissipated amidst the intense pain.
"Oh, it's actually a two-layered soul. Interesting, interesting!" There was a hint of ridicule in the Netherworld King's eyes, but there was also a strong sense of interest.
As the ruler and controller of this space, he could clearly sense what kind of struggle Wang Zhong was going through. In this world, there were very few soul levels, and even many Gold Cores did not have soul levels superimposed. However, this lowly fellow in front of him actually had a soul level that he had hidden.
However, the other party's level of use of power was too low. On the other hand, this fellow's physical body could be considered top-grade. Although his affinity with the Netherworld aura was not as good as Mu Zi's, it was at least above Grai's. He did not reject the Netherworld aura and could even actively absorb it! This was very rare. There were so many creatures in the underground world, but there were only a few who could do this. The Netherworld King had only found two, Mu Zi and Grai, but now, there was another one. Furthermore, all three of them were Earthlings. As a result, the Netherworld King could not help but develop a strong curiosity about the Earth.
