As the Universe Turns - Chapter 923
Chapter 923 Little Nether
“Venerable, Excellency … be careful!”
Zi Yuan’s face was deathly pale. She immediately pulled out her weapon and subconsciously wanted to protect Xiao Chen. In her current situation, not to mention protecting Xiao Chen, even protecting herself would be a problem.
At this moment, Xiao Chen’s expression became serious. Even if his cultivation recovered to its peak, he might not be a match for the Blood River Ghost King. Moreover, this was his territory.
“Amitabha …”
Right at this moment, a loud Buddhist chant suddenly came from not far away. Immediately, the rolling blood river calmed down. The Blood River Ghost King’s expression changed as he sternly said, “Stinking monk, it’s you who is meddling again! You’ve been pestering this king for thousands of years, isn’t that enough?”
“Hell is not empty. I swear I can’t be a Buddha. All living beings are exhausted. Formula confirmation Subhuti …”
As the voice got closer and closer, a figure finally appeared not far away. However, looking at that person, it was an ancient Dao Obtaining Monk with his hands clasped together. In the surging river of blood, he actually walked over as if he was walking on flat ground.
“This …”
Zi Yuan was stunned again. How could another ancient monk appear here? What kind of place is this? Isn’t it too strange …
“Hahahaha!”
The Blood River Ghost King suddenly laughed out loud in horror, “Hell is not empty yet. I swear that I can’t be a Buddha. I am filled with evil ghosts that can’t even be tempered by Buddha. Let me see how you want to pass it!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire river of blood began to churn again. Countless evil spirits appeared in the river, all of them clutching towards the ancient monk.
“Amitabha …”
The ancient monk clasped his hands together and illuminated the river of blood with Buddhist light. He immediately dissipated these evil spirits, but batches after batch of them dissipated. They were simply endless and endless.
“Let’s go.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen did not hesitate at all. Taking advantage of the battle between the Blood River Ghost King and the ancient monk, he immediately brought Zi Yuan and kicked her forward.
“Want to leave? It’s not that easy!”
The Blood River Ghost King shouted. Streams of blood suddenly appeared in front of them. Blood surged in the river, and it instantly rose a hundred feet high, forming blood walls that obstructed their path.
Xiao Chen’s gaze was fixed. With a stroke of his finger, a streak of azure zhenqi flew out. With a “bang”, he forcefully broke through the blood wall and rushed out with Zi Yuan.
However, the blood river seemed endless. Blood walls rose one after another, and at the same time, countless evil spirits surged out from the river and pounced towards the two of them.
The bloody aura was suffocating. Zi Yuan’s face had long since turned pale from fear, but Xiao Chen remained calm. With a wave of his hand, strands of fierce True Qi flew out, instantly chopping away the devils that had pounced over.
After flying for an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally arrived at the end of the blood river. It was unknown where it was, but the blood walls suddenly rose several hundred feet high. At the same time, a terrifying Nether Force shrouded them, as if it wanted to shatter everything into pieces.
“Venerable, Excellency …”
Zi Yuan’s face was deathly pale. Obviously, she had already sensed the terrifying power of the Netherworld in front of her. As long as she crossed the end of the blood river, she would completely get rid of the Ghost King behind her. However, how could she pass through it?
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Chen’s gaze froze. At this moment, he didn’t say anything else. He picked her up and flew straight into the blood wall with both of his feet.
“Lu Yan!”
‘”Yes” Lu Yan’s soul figure appeared from the void in an instant, blocking all the ghosts in the river of blood for him.
Just like that, Xiao Chen flew forward with Zi Yuan on his back. Finally, he broke through that layer of Nether Force. The blood river behind him slowly retreated. In front of him, there seemed to be a light that finally penetrated through, but it was unknown where it was.
“Venerable, Excellency …”
Zi Yuan was shocked and slowly got down from his back. She looked at the faint light in front of her. Could it be that the exit was right in front of her?
“Be careful, let’s go.”
Xiao Chen focused his attention and helped her continue forward. The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time. The light in front of them became clearer and clearer, but it seemed that they were not far away, yet they could not reach it.
Right at this moment, a strange force suddenly penetrated. Xiao Chen immediately stopped. At this moment, Zi Yuan could only feel an indescribable gloomy coldness, but he could sense something in front of him.
“Haha, are you finally here? I’ve been waiting for you for a long time …”
A faint voice came from the front, but there was no one in front of him. Only a crimson Paramita Flower that was like blood gently shook in the wind, emitting an indescribable strange aura.
“Venerable, Excellency …”
Zi Yuan also noticed the red Paramita Flower. Her voice actually came from the Paramita Flower. Xiao Chen slowly let go of her, indicating that there was no need to be nervous.
“Are you talking?”
Xiao Chen stared at the Paramita Flower in front of him. Everything he saw here was real, not an illusion.
“Haha, not bad …”
A faint voice sounded from the Paramita Flower once again, “The reason why you came here and were able to see me is because you have a devil in your heart and hatred in your heart. Hahaha …”
The eerie laughter slowly sounded, causing Zi Yuan’s scalp to numb. He subconsciously pulled on Xiao Chen’s sleeve and said, “Excellency, don’t go over …”
Xiao Chen ignored it and continued to walk towards the Paramita Flower. A gloomy voice sounded from above, “Your enemy killed your parents, but you can’t avenge him. The person you love is about to die, but you can’t save her. Everything is because you’re not strong enough …”
“Come over here like this. I can give you strength to take revenge, to save her, to get everything you want …”
That voice slowly sounded, as if it possessed a fascinating magic power. At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to be possessed as he slowly walked towards the other side flower.
Zi Yuan’s heart trembled slightly. He wanted to pull him back, but at this moment, he found himself unable to move. He could only shout, “Excellency, wake up! That’s the Dark Devil! Don’t go over there! Don’t be fooled by it!”
As if he couldn’t hear anything, Xiao Chen slowly walked towards the other side flower. A gloomy laugh could be heard from above, “That’s right, come here, I’ll give you the power you want …”
In the end, Xiao Chen walked in front of the Paramita Flower. Zi Yuan’s eyes widened. She felt that something was wrong. She wanted to rush forward to stop him, but she couldn’t move. At this moment, Xiao Chen reached out and pulled the Paramita Flower up. At this moment, his eyes became cold again. He coldly said, “You, a little Dark Devil, want to confuse me …”
“You …”
The Dark Devil attached to the Paramita Flower wanted to struggle, but he couldn’t get rid of his hand. Xiao Chen said coldly, “I’m asking you, did someone come here more than 40 years ago?”
“No, I don’t know …”
The Dark Devil’s voice was a little panicked. Xiao Chen’s gaze turned even colder. Suddenly, a black Heart Execution Flame appeared in his hand. The Dark Devil immediately screamed miserably, “I haven’t seen anyone here in nearly a hundred years.”
“Have you thought it through?”
Xiao Chen’s gaze was cold, and the Heart Execution Flame in his hand became even heavier. The Dark Devil screamed miserably, “No, I really haven’t seen it before …”
“Forget it.”
After a while, Xiao Chen’s gaze gradually returned to normal. Could it be that his father hadn’t been here before? He continued to ask, “What kind of place is this?”
The Dark Devil didn’t dare to hesitate. He immediately replied, “Yes, it’s the shadow of the Underworld in the mortal world. It’s the Little Netherworld. If you want to return to it, I can take you out …”
“Little Nether …”
Xiao Chen’s eyes narrowed as the Heart Execution Flame in his palm ignited. The Dark Devil immediately let out a series of miserable cries, “You can’t kill me. I can bring you up. If you kill me, you’ll never be able to leave …”
In the end, the voice gradually disappeared. The Paramita Flower was burned to ashes by his Heart Execution Fire. At this moment, Zi Yuan slowly walked up. On her back, cold sweat was still condensed. It turned out that Excellency had not been confused by the Dark Devil just now.
“It doesn’t seem to be an easy task to return to the top.”
Xiao Chen stared at the light in the distance. There was still more than half a month left. If he could not return to the top before the tide ended, the consequences would be unpredictable.
The two of them walked forward for a distance, and gradually, a terrifying aura enveloped them, causing them to feel suffocated.
“Brat, there is a very strong existence ahead …”
This time, even Fuxi Zither, the zither soul in Su Ye, was awakened by this terrifying aura. Naturally, Xiao Chen could sense that the existence in front of him was extremely powerful, and it was definitely not something he could contend against right now.
“Venerable, Excellency …”
Zi Yuan couldn’t help but tremble slightly again. The aura in front of her was too much pressure on her. Just what kind of existence was it …
At this moment, a strong aura suddenly approached from the other side. Zi Yuan immediately regained her senses and looked in the direction where the aura came from. She saw a figure flying over. However, looking at that person, who was standing on the Immortal Lotus, his body was shrouded in a brilliant light. It was none other than Xiao Meng’er.
“Your Excellency … it’s her!”
Zi Yuan was slightly shocked. Speaking of which, Xiao Meng’er had already flown over in an instant. When she saw Xiao Chen, there was also a flash of shock on her face. She did not expect to meet Xiao Chen here, but very quickly, the shock in her eyes turned into a look of disgust.
“Fairy Xiao, what a coincidence. Why did you also fall down here … Eh? I haven’t seen you for a while. Why is the fairy in such a sorry state?”
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at her indifferently. There was a hint of mockery in his words.
Seeing that he was still mocking her, the disgust in Xiao Meng’er’s eyes became even heavier. She only wished that she could slash him with a single sword. She thought to herself, If it wasn’t for you, how could I have fallen into this damned place, but now I can’t get out?
“Rumble!”
Just as she was pulling out her sword, a strange movement suddenly came from afar. Xiao Chen immediately regained his senses, pressed down on Zi Yuan beside him, and became alert.
Xiao Meng’er also became vigilant. After a long time, this strange movement slowly disappeared. The two of them looked at each other again. Xiao Meng’er still wished she could slash him with a sword. However, when she saw the smile on his face, she suddenly reacted. Her clothes were scattered at the moment. She had not had time to change her clothes after being chased by the dark spirits.
“Zheng!”
With a sword sound, Xiao Meng’er covered her chest with her left hand and pointed at him with her right hand. She said coldly, “Take another look. Do you believe I’ll kill you?”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen slowly shifted his gaze away from her and looked in the direction where the strange movement came from. He said indifferently, “You can kill me. However, it’s less than twenty days since the end of the tide. I’m afraid that you will die here too.”
