The fear in the Undead Warrior's eyes quickly turned into shock, and then into excitement and fanaticism. The intensity of his emotions was not any less than that of a normal human. He looked up at Ling Chen as if he was looking at a god, "Heavens, what am I seeing? There's such a great Undead in the Underworld. Your glory surpasses even that of the great Underworld King!"
"Then can you tell me where the Underworld Blood Lake is?" Ling Chen asked calmly. The Feng Chen Curses could target any 'person', regardless of whether they were alive or dead.
"The Underworld Blood Lake … it's only 2 kilometres north from here. I just came from the Underworld Blood Lake, and I'm returning to the Underworld Royal City to complete Lord Purple Underworld's orders, "the Undead Warrior replied.
"So you're a warrior guarding the Underworld Blood Lake?" Ling Chen asked as he looked at the Undead Warrior's attire.
"That's right. This is a great but boring quest, because no one dares to barge into the Underworld Blood Lake, and no one has ever succeeded. Just the protection of the 3 Underworld Gods is enough to make the Underworld Blood Lake a place that no one can enter. With the 3 Underworld Gods there, we're nothing more than decorations. "
"3 Underworld Gods?" Ling Chen frowned. He remembered that the Undead Elder had mentioned the Underworld King's 8 Generals, and he asked, "Three of the Underworld King's 8 Generals?"
"That's right! They're the 8 Underworld Gods, second only to the Underworld King, and they're the Underworld King's 8 most powerful Generals. The 8 Underworld Gods take turns guarding the entrance to the Underworld Blood Lake every day, and there are never less than 3 of them, "the Undead Warrior said with admiration.
The 8 Underworld Gods … the most powerful Undead, second only to the Underworld King. According to what Qi Yue had said, the Underworld King's grade was comparable to the 3 Goddesses of the Moon Deities, which was the Saint Destroyer grade. Moreover, he was at the peak of the Saint Destroyer grade. In that case, the 8 Underworld Gods, who were second only to the Underworld King, would also be incredibly powerful. At the very least, they wouldn't be weaker than Heaven's End grade … and they might all be Mysterious God grade!
Three of the eight Underworld Gods guarded the entrance to the Underworld Blood Lake. Trying to force his way in was simply a dream.
"Apart from the three Underworld Gods, are there any other obstacles in the way of entering the Underworld Blood Lake?" Ling Chen asked as he used the second Deity Curse.
If any Undead had asked this question, the Undead Warriors guarding the Underworld Blood Lake would have been on high alert. However, he was facing a Heavenly God, so of course he would tell him everything he knew. The Undead Warrior said without hesitation, "The Underworld Blood Lake is located in the deepest part of the Underworld. If you go down from the entrance, you will have to pass through the terrifying Dao of Yin, Dao of Darkness, and the even more terrifying Hell of Ice and Hell of Fire."
"Dao of Yin … Dao of Darkness … Ice Purgatory … Flame Purgatory …" Ling Chen memorized them and quickly asked, "What's in these tunnels?"
"I've never been inside before, but I've heard Sir Purple Darkness talk about it. The Dao of Yin has a soul-absorbing formation set up by the Underworld King himself. After entering the Dao of Yin, no matter if it's a living or an Undead, their lifeforce and mana will be sucked away every second. It will take at least a few hours to pass through the Dao of Yin. With the Underworld King's soul-absorbing formation, even high-level Undead will die in less than 1% of the way. The Dao of Darkness is completely dark, and there are large numbers of bloodsucking Undead that love darkness. If you enter, you will be torn to pieces by the Undead, and you won't even have a chance to struggle. In comparison, the Hell of Ice and Hell of Fire are the truly terrifying places. It's said that the Hell of Ice is a very cold place, but the temperature isn't the scariest part. The scariest part is that there are three giant Undead beasts raised by the Underworld King himself. It's said that they've been there for thousands of years, and any one of them is incredibly powerful. The power of these three giant beasts completely seals the exit of the Hell of Ice, and it's said that only by killing all three of them can one pass through the Hell of Ice. It's said that every corner of the Hell of Fire is filled with the flames that we Undead fear the most. Not only that, but there's also a fellow that's even scarier than the three giant beasts. I remember when Sir Purple Darkness mentioned it, he looked very scared …
"As such, even without the three Underworld Gods guarding it, no one can enter the Underworld Blood Lake. There's only one way to enter the Underworld Blood Lake, and that is to get permission from the Underworld King. The Underworld King will tear open a spatial channel to the Underworld Blood Lake and personally send you there. However, there might not even be one in a thousand years who can be recognized by the Underworld King and enter the Underworld Blood Lake to absorb the ancestor's power. "
Ling Chen slightly frowned. From this Undead Warrior's description, it seemed that entering the Underworld Blood Lake was even harder than ascending to the heavens!
However, since he was here, even if it was harder than ascending to the heavens, he had to go through it!
The Deity Curse's effect was about to end, and Ling Chen did not say anything as he used [Vanishing Shadow] and disappeared from the Undead Warrior's sight. The Undead Warrior, who had returned to its normal state, stood there in a daze as it looked at the empty space in front of it. It couldn't help but wonder if it was hallucinating.
Ling Chen followed the Undead Warrior's directions and headed north for two kilometres before he saw a dark structure that looked like a sacrificial altar. The altar gave off a strange dark-red light. Around it, a large number of figures could be vaguely seen.
Ling Chen stopped and looked ahead … that should be where the Underworld Blood Lake was!
Ling Chen descended from the air and put away Snow Cherry as he quietly approached. With the three Underworld Gods guarding it, he would be easily discovered if he approached from the air.
Ling Chen was undoubtedly an expert in the field of concealment. As he quietly moved forward, he quickly entered within 100 meters of the altar. He stopped and hid his body behind a large grey boulder. Ling Chen quietly poked his head out and looked in the direction of the altar.
The altar wasn't big. It was no more than thirty to forty meters in diameter. There were thirty Undead Warriors in worn-out armor standing in a circle around the altar. Each of them was facing a different direction with a stupefied expression. At the three sides of the altar, there was a tall man with a large cloak on his back. When Ling Chen's gaze fell on them, an oppressive feeling spread through his body.
With Ling Chen's current strength, Celestial grade Bosses could not pose a threat to him, and normal Heaven's End grade Bosses could not cause him any pressure. However, each of these three people caused Ling Chen's heart to sink, making him feel as if he was suffocating. There were only a few people in the Mystic Moon world who could make him feel this much pressure … they were the World of War, World of Darkness Warcraft, World of Ice, World of Ice, and Vermillion Bird …
In other words, these three people were all Mysterious God grade!
Any one of them was an existence that Ling Chen could not rival!
It was evident that these three people were three of the eight Underworld Gods guarding the Underworld Blood Lake!
Just the Path of Shadows, Path of Darkness, Ice Purgatory, and Fire Purgatory made it incredibly difficult to enter the Underworld Blood Lake, and yet the Underworld King still had three of the eight Underworld Gods guarding it. It could be seen how important the Underworld Blood Lake was to the Underworld, and they could not allow anything to go wrong. Even though no one had ever entered the Underworld Blood Lake before, the three Underworld Gods did not relax at all. They stood in three different directions, giving off a baleful aura. Even though they were tens of metres away, Ling Chen's body felt cold, and he found it difficult to breathe.
Ling Chen silently summoned Little Gray, and used his Eye of the Holy Spirit to look at the three Underworld Gods' information from afar.
[Crimson Underworld]: Type: Undead, Level:??. Grade: Mysterious God, HP:??. One of the Underworld's eight Underworld Gods, no other information available.
[Violet Underworld]: Type: Undead, Level:??. Grade: Mysterious God, HP:??. One of the Underworld's eight Underworld Gods, no other information available.
[Mysterious Underworld]: Type: Undead, Level:??. Grade: Mysterious God, HP:??. One of the Underworld's eight Underworld Gods, no other information available.
The three Underworld Gods' levels were too high, and even with Little Gray's Eye of the Holy Spirit, he could only see their names and grades. Just as Ling Chen had expected, they were all Mysterious God grade!
Trying to force his way into the Underworld Blood Lake in front of these three Mysterious God grade Undead was even more unrealistic than dreaming. Since he couldn't force his way in, he could only try some other methods, such as …
Ling Chen concealed his aura and soundlessly moved forwards, coming close to 50 metres away from the altar. After calming himself down, he turned towards the altar and locked onto the three Underworld Gods. His eyes flashed as he cast an [Irreconcilable Hatred] towards the three Underworld Gods.
Back in the East Ocean Continent, Ling Chen, who was only around LV30, was able to use a low-grade Feng Chen Curse on the Cherry Blossom God Representative, who was a high-level Mysterious God grade Cherry Blossom God Representative. Now that Ling Chen was much stronger than back then, and he had cast an Intermediate Feng Chen Curse that caught the three Underworld Gods off guard, there was no reason why it wouldn't work.
Ling Chen didn't disappoint Ling Chen. The second after he cast the [Irreconcilable Hatred], the three Underworld Gods suddenly opened their eyes and simultaneously turned, staring at each other with fiery gazes.
"Mysterious Underworld, what are you looking at me for? You dare to look at me? You're looking to die! "
"I'm looking to die? Let's see if it's you or me who dies! 3,000 years ago, I wanted to send you to the 18 levels of hell! "
"Crimson Underworld! You bastard! You dare to wear a red cloak? I'm definitely going to kill you today! "
Bang!!
Under the sudden outburst of anger of the three Gods of the Underworld, the originally quiet space couldn't hold on any longer and let out an explosion-like sound. For a moment, a chilly gale rose, and a terrifying, knife-like murderous aura rampaged wildly on the altar. The undead warriors who didn't know what was happening turned pale with fright as they stared dumbfoundedly at the three Gods of the Underworld, who were calm a second ago, and then suddenly filled with murderous aura as if they had an irreconcilable hatred.
"Today, it's either you or me who dies!!"
Roars sounded out as the 3 Underworld Gods' eyes became blood-red, and they gave off a baleful aura as they rushed towards each other … even though they had been affected by the [Irreconcilable Hatred] Curse, that didn't mean that they had lost their minds. It was just that they hated each other to the bone, but they didn't forget how important the Underworld Blood Lake was. With their Mysterious God level strength, if they fought here, they would definitely destroy the entrance to the Underworld Blood Lake. Immediately, the three Gods of the Underworld rose into the sky at the same time, and shot into the distance like three sharp arrows. The strong airflow they brought with them blew the 30 Undead Warriors to the ground. Following this, thunderous sounds of power colliding could be heard in the distance.
The Undead warriors on the ground stared at the sky in shock, and none of them came back to their senses. None of them noticed that a transparent figure was quietly approaching the entrance they were guarding.
The 3 Underworld Gods were too strong, and even with [Vanishing Shadow], Ling Chen couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be discovered. However, against these Undead warriors, Ling Chen didn't feel any pressure at all. Invisible, he swaggered up the altar and walked all the way to the center of the altar … where there was a black hole that was only about a meter in diameter. Ling Chen didn't even think before jumping in.
