Eight hundred kilometers away from Moonless City, there was a vast black ocean.
Eighteen rivers extended from this sea, flowing to every corner of the Underworld, forming the eighteen Nether Rivers of the Underworld!
This black sea with a circumference of hundreds of thousands of li was the famous Nether Sea.
No one could fly above the Nether Sea, and nothing could live there. The sea was also clean. There wasn't even a single cell. Of course, if any race went there, they would immediately lose their vitality.
Although the Nether Sea was deathly silent, it could cleanse and heal the soul. The souls that returned from the Mortal World would soak in the Nether Sea water. It would wash away all impurities and dust, making the soul as clean as a newborn.
After passing through the pitch-black, windless Netherworld Sea and arriving at the center of the sea, one could see a circular hole with a diameter of tens of thousands of meters. Above the hole, there was a huge dark cyan character floating in the air. "Netherworld!"
Under the dark blue light, they could vaguely see that the abyss wasn't empty. Instead, there was a huge circular building. The building was built in the huge hole, but it was not adjacent to the walls of the hole. Therefore, the seawater flowing down the walls of the hole could not affect this huge building.
At this moment, the circular building inside the giant hole had many layers of bright lights. Looking down from the top, they couldn't see the bottom. No one knew how many layers it had.
The top layer of the huge building was the Teleportation Formation that led to the big cities around the Nether Sea.
The souls collected from the Nether Territory were brought to this final destination by the Soul Collectors through the big cities around the Nether Sea.
At this moment, a carriage came from the Teleportation Formation. Behind it were several transport vehicles with big iron barrels. This was Old Yaksha's Soul Collectors' Caravan.
"Stop and check!" A Yaksha stood in front of the carriage, preparing to do a routine check.
"It's me. I brought a friend to visit." Succubus's face peeked out from behind the curtain of the carriage. At the same time, he handed over a small bag with one hundred soul stones.
"It's Vice Commander Succubus. No need to check." Little Yaksha quickly took the bag and made way. Although Succubus had been driven out, his prestige was still there. Plus, there were soul stones to be earned. Many people brought friends to visit the abyss, so he didn't suspect anything.
"Then you should get busy," Shihun smiled politely, then retracted his head.
Ye Kong was also in the carriage. The female yaksha was not brought along. Her strength was too low and could not help at all.
Ye Kong quietly released his Divine Sense to observe, but as soon as he did so, he felt that there were several more powerful Divine Senses here. One of them was simply overbearing. Ye Kong felt that his Divine Sense was not bad, but compared to that Divine Sense, it was like comparing a ping pong ball to the Earth!
Ye Kong was so scared that his face changed color, and he quickly withdrew his Divine Sense.
Shihun guessed what was going on, smiling. "It's okay. It's Dark's Soul Consciousness. As long as you don't do anything that will shake the foundation of the Underworld, Dark won't attack you. Even if you use your Soul Consciousness to attack it, it won't counterattack."
"Dark? Was it the dark green word above the abyss? What is it? A single word actually has Spiritual Awareness? "Although Ye Kong had only released his Spiritual Awareness for a moment, he had a panoramic view of the abyss.
Shihun said, "The reason why the Underworld is called the Underworld is that it has Dark. Dark is the ancestor beast when the world was created. It's really intimidating. Incipient God Realm had subdued it and sealed it in the Underworld to guard it. Because the Underworld is really important, it has such a guard. If anyone wants to destroy the Underworld, Dark will appear and take action. "
"Only a madman wants to destroy the Underworld. Without the Underworld, there won't be new humans and monsters. The entire Upper and Lower Nine Worlds will be affected badly." Ye Kong nodded and then asked, "What does Dark look like after all?"
Shihun forced a smile. "I don't know. I've never seen or heard about Dark. Anyway, you shouldn't doubt its power. I heard that Incipient God Realm and Dark had an agreement. When a new soul is born in the abyss, it will offer one percent of its power to Dark. "
"How much is one percent of a soul's power?" asked the Soul Collector disdainfully.
"What do you know?" Shihun snorted. "Although one percent of a new soul's power is tiny, have you ever counted how many new souls are born here every day? How many billions of years has it been absorbing? Many a little makes a mickle. I guess even an Incipient God Realm expert can't resist Dark's power! "
"Ah!" Old Yaksha was so frightened that he almost bit his tongue.
Ye Kong asked curiously, "That Dark has such great power, won't he rebel? Who wants to stay here for billions of years? "
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard that Incipient God Realm had set up a trap. Because of Dark's special physique, it has power but it doesn't know how to use it. Thus, the stronger it is, the more it will be suppressed. It will never be able to rise again."
Ye Kong smiled and said, "This guy is really stupid. He crushed himself to death. There is really nothing too strange in this world."
Then, the three of them entered the fifth layer of the abyss. It was the place where the Soul Collector handed in the mission. Old Yaksha led the team to hand in the mission. Ye Kong was wearing a black cloak, following Shihun to the teleport formation of this layer.
"This is Tan Hu, deputy commander of the Beast Transformation Pond. This is Golden Foot, deputy commander of the Inspection Division below the 9000th layer. This is Dragon Seven, subordinate of Blue Fire Yama King..."
The next day, Shihun had gathered his companions. There were five of them. These fellows were all deputies. Because they had been suppressed by their superiors for a long time, they had taken the risk to steal the Spring of Life to reach the level of Yama King.
Ye Kong noticed that these five Yakshas were very strong, far stronger than the female Yaksha. This was especially true for the one called Golden Feet. It was unknown what kind of Netherworld technique he cultivated, but both his feet had turned golden.
The Underworld Yama King's level was the same as the Immortal Monarchs in the Immortal World. These five were close to the Yama King's level, while Ye Kong was close to the Immortal Monarch. Therefore, Ye Kong's level was the same as theirs.
But their strength was different. Because the Underworld was half a level lower than the Immortal World, Ye Kong's strength was a level higher than theirs.
Of course, if they joined forces to attack Ye Kong alone. Then Ye Kong would be more troublesome.
After introducing the five of them, Ye Kong took the initiative to say, "It's a pleasure to meet you all and to cooperate with you. My surname is Peng Wenkao. Peng Wenkao, in the future, if you want to go to the Immortal World to kill people, just mention my name."
How could he leave his real name when he was doing bad things in the outside world? Of course he would leave Brother Elephant's name. If he could get Brother Elephant's name into the Book of Life and Death, that would be even more delightful. Ye Kong thought despicably.
Poor Peng Wenkao, sitting at home doing nothing, yet he still got himself into trouble. His character... was really indescribable.
The few Yakshas knew that Ye Kong was stronger than them, so they were more polite. After all, everyone was going to search for treasures together. It was important to maintain a harmonious relationship.
However, there was someone who was not convinced. It was that Golden Foot. Among these people, he was the strongest. Usually, they treated him like a big boss. Now that there were other big bosses, he was naturally unhappy.
