After recuperating for several days, Qin Feiyang looked at Yun Zhongtian and asked: "How much longer do we need to reach the inner region?"
Yun Zhongtian pondered for a moment before saying: "Based on this old man's speed, we should have reached the inner region by now. But you've delayed us quite a bit along the way and it will probably take another year."
Qin Feiyang took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Then let's continue. I hope that before we reach the inner region, we will be able to evolve our physical body to the Supreme Being level."
"Alright."
Yun Zhongtian nodded.
A year's time, to a cultivator, was but a blink of an eye.
Thinking back, when Qin Feiyang and the others were in the Alliance Capital, they would go into seclusion for hundreds of years.
On this day!
A black river appeared in the desert before them.
The river was about a hundred meters wide, like a long black dragon, stretching to the ends of the earth on both sides.
What was even stranger was that the water of the river was black in color.
For such a river to appear in such a place, just one look at it would cause one's heart to fluster.
But the river water was calm.
If one did not look carefully, one would not notice that the river water was flowing.
Yun Zhongtian pointed at the black river and said excitedly: "Brother Qin, that river is the dividing line between the inner region and the central region!"
Qin Feiyang quickened his steps and walked to the side of the river, sweeping his eyes over the water.
It was a little strange.
The river water looked calm and normal but he could feel a great threat from it.
The phoenix robed lady said softly: "This river is called the River of the Underworld and it surrounds the entire inner region. If you want to enter the core region, you will first have to pass through the River of the Underworld."
"So it's called the River of the Underworld."
Yun Zhongtian nodded in realization.
Qin Feiyang said: "Passing through the River of the Underworld should be simple!"
"Simple?"
Yun Zhongtian and the phoenix robed lady were stunned.
Yun Zhongtian came back to his senses and quickly said: "Brother Qin, this is not simple. Don't just look at the River of the Underworld. On the surface, it does not look dangerous, but in actual fact, there are hidden dangers!"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Feiyang was suspicious.
"The water of the River of the River of the Underworld contains a terrifying power that can erode one's soul."
"Any living being that enters the Underworld River will have their souls instantly corroded by the river water."
"Although the river is only a hundred meters long, we can't fly because of gravity, so we can only swim across. However, the corrosive power of the river is enough to erode our souls in the middle of the river."
"Furthermore, this river water possesses a terrifying corrosive power."
"Not to mention our bodies of flesh and blood, even Supreme-Level Heaven-Defying Divine Weapons can be corroded by it."
"Tell me now, is it simple?"
Yun Zhongtian smiled bitterly.
This was the first time he heard someone say that crossing the Nether River was a simple matter.
Qin Feiyang's mouth twitched.
If that was the case, it would be a bit of a headache.
"The last time I was here, I saw with my own eyes two perfect Sovereigns trying to cross the Netherworld River by relying on their supreme grade heaven-defying divine artifacts."
"However, in the end, they all ended up dying in the river. I wanted to help them, but I was unable to."
"So, after that, I consciously left the Heavy Realm and never came back."
Yun Zhongtian sighed.
Qin Feiyang glanced at the River of the Underworld and then looked up at the inner region. It was still an endless black desert. He frowned and said, "The current gravity is not enough to elevate my physical body to the Supreme-Level Heaven-Defying Divine Weapon. I have to cross the River of the Underworld and enter the inner region."
"Beg me, I'll help you."
The woman in the phoenix robe looked at Qin Feiyang mockingly.
Qin Feiyang glanced at her and snorted, "If it weren't for you being able to ignore the rules of the Heavy Realm, you wouldn't even have the ability to reach here, let alone crossing the River of the Underworld and reaching the inner region."
The woman in the phoenix robe was not angry. She said indifferently, "The key is that I can ignore the rules of the Heavy Realm. You risked your life to get here, but I can easily enter the inner region. Don't you think that's infuriating?"
Qin Feiyang's face darkened.
He wasn't infuriated about this.
However, this woman's smug look was really infuriating.
Suddenly!
Yun Zhongtian chuckled again as he looked at Qin Feiyang and said: "However, things are different now."
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang looked at Yun Zhongtian suspiciously.
"Back then, I was stopped at the River of the Underworld because I didn't have a Sovereign Divine Weapon."
"But now, the Sword of Thanatos is in my hands. It shouldn't be difficult to enter the inner region."
Yun Zhongtian laughed.
Qin Feiyang's eyes lit up. He looked at the woman in the phoenix robe and said with a smile, "It seems that your little plan is going to be destroyed again. But don't give up. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let me lower my head and beg you."
"Hmph!"
The woman in the phoenix robe snorted coldly and did not forget to glare at Yun Zhongtian. What a troublesome old man.
"But, do we need to wait for Brother Wolf King?"
"Although the horsetail whisk is following it, I feel a little worried about leaving it behind alone."
Yun Zhongtian looked at the desert behind them with a worried expression.
"Don't worry!"
"Everything else aside, it still has quite a number of ways to save its life."
"But, we can leave a sign here. When it rushes over, it will know that we have entered the inner region."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.
"Alright."
Yun Zhongtian nodded and with a wave of his aged hand, the sand beneath his feet surged and gradually formed a tall stone tablet. He then used his Divine Powers to temper it, to prevent it from collapsing.
After that.
He carved a few lines of small words on the stone tablet.
The general content was about the situation of the River of the Underworld and the method to cross it.
After doing all that, Yun Zhongtian took out the Sword of Thanatos.
The woman in the phoenix robe said indifferently: "Seeing how troublesome you are, I'll be merciful and bring you all over!"
"Don't!"
"I really don't dare to accept your kindness."
"What if when we are in the middle of the river and you suddenly throw us into the River of the Underworld? Then I won't even have the chance to seek revenge on you as a ghost."
Qin Feiyang hurriedly waved his hand.
"What do you mean?"
"Am I as despicable as you say?"
The woman in the phoenix robe said angrily.
"Whether you are despicable or not, I don't know. But I know that you cannot be trusted."
After Qin Feiyang finished speaking, he looked at Yun Zhongtian and smiled: "Elder Yun, the gravity in the inner region must be very terrifying. Are you ready?"
"Mm."
Yun Zhongtian nodded.
Qin Feiyang smiled and looked at the Sword of Thanatos, saying: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Clang!
The Sword of Thanatos immediately came to life and a terrifying divine aura swept out in all directions. When Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian leaped onto the Sword of Thanatos, the Sword of Thanatos flew the two of them to the opposite side.
The woman in the phoenix robe pursed her lips and took a step forward, landing on the opposite bank. She then turned around and looked at Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian expressionlessly.
But if one looked closely, one would notice that there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
With the protection of the Sovereign Divine Weapon, Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian were not too nervous and smoothly reached the other side of the river, officially stepping into the inner region.
However.
The moment they stepped into the inner region, a terrifying gravitational force enveloped them.
With a loud bang!
Caught off guard, Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian fell from the Sword of Thanatos, smashing into the desert. Pressed down by the gravitational force, not only were they unable to move, even the pores on their bodies were violently spewing out blood!
Even.
Even the Sword of Thanatos was pressed down by the gravitational force, and it took a lot of effort to stabilize itself.
"What a terrifying gravitational force!"
"It's almost ten times that of the opposite bank!"
The Sword of Thanatos released its divine aura, enveloping the two of them. Only then did Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian feel a little better. They crawled up from the ground, their faces covered in dust and dirt, looking extremely miserable.
"This feeling, it must not be good!"
The woman in the phoenix robe looked at Qin Feiyang gloatingly.
Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at her and swallowed a Life Elixir, scanning the void. Even with the help of the Sword of Thanatos, he could still feel an unparalleled sense of oppression.
Yun Zhongtian looked at the Sword of Thanatos and asked: "How do you feel?"
The Sword of Thanatos pondered for a moment, and said: "Right now, I can still help you, but in the depths of the inner region, I'm afraid …"
At this point, Qin Feiyang and Yun Zhongtian already understood the meaning of the Sword of Thanatos.
"As expected, none of the Forbidden Lands are good."
Qin Feiyang sighed.
In the inner region of the Yin Demon Land, no one could withstand the erosion of the Yin Demon power.
And in the inner region of the Heavy Domain, even the Sovereign Divine Weapon was helpless against the gravitational force. It seemed that in order to enter the core region, they would really need the help of the woman in the phoenix robe.
"It's not too late to beg me now."
The woman in the phoenix robe said with a smile.
Qin Feiyang glanced at her, then looked at the Sword of Thanatos, and said: "I'll have to trouble you, help us a little longer."
With that, he sat down cross-legged on the ground, healing his injuries.
Although it had only been a short while, he had truly felt the aura of death.
So.
In order to break the limits of the physical body here, he must first adjust his condition.
A day passed.
Qin Feiyang's essence, energy, and spirit had finally recovered to their peak state. Taking a deep breath, he looked at the Sword of Thanatos, and said in a deep voice: "Let's begin!"
The Sword of Thanatos immediately withdrew the divine aura that enveloped Qin Feiyang.
Boom!
The gravitational force surged, and Qin Feiyang's entire body was immediately pressed into the desert.
All over his body, his skin and flesh were torn open, and blood flowed out.
Crack!
Accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, all the bones in his body were broken.
The omnipresent gravitational force seemed to be squeezing him to death, and the ground was instantly soaked in purple-gold dragon blood.
Looking at this scene, Yun Zhongtian's eyelids twitched, and he exclaimed: "Why don't you give up, your physical body is already so strong, there's no need to risk your life like this."
But Qin Feiyang turned a deaf ear.
He really did not hear it.
Because at this moment, his consciousness was also dissipating.
Gravity, like an invisible hand, grabbed him and squeezed him.
At this moment, an uncontrollable despair rose in his heart!
"The limit is broken!"
"I must not compromise!"
But the conviction that was branded in his heart was not destroyed.
His fighting spirit and will, like forged steel, would never be extinguished!
If fate was unfair, then fate would be broken!
If the heavens were not benevolent, then the heavens would be pierced!
…
Even if there were endless trials and tribulations, it would not be able to destroy his determination to break the cage of heaven and earth, and to descend beyond the heavens!
Boom!
A powerful aura suddenly surged from Qin Feiyang's body.
This was the manifestation of his fighting spirit!
And it contained his firm conviction!
At this moment, heaven and earth could not help but shake, as if unable to bear Qin Feiyang's fighting spirit and conviction.
