Chapter 1778 - 8: Master of the Netherworld

A flash of light, and Lin Feng and the others found themselves in another realm.

The dark Ancient Forest.

A chilling aura.

Bones scattered everywhere on the ground.

It felt like a path leading to the Netherworld, making one feel deeply uneasy.

Lin Feng and the others wandered through the woods; they saw no Fierce Beasts, and the silence felt eerie.

Yet they did not lower their guard.

Always cautiously examining their surroundings.

This place.

Something terrifying could leap out at any moment, and a single slip could mean death and the end of one’s path.

"There are so many bones here, when did they pile up?" Looking at the bones on the ground, Lingyun Immortal slightly frowned.

"It’s from a long time ago! Many bones have already weathered, but since this is the Fighting Saint Ape Secret Realm, something unknown must have happened here."

Lei Qian said.

Lin Feng asked, "How did the Fighting Saint Ape fall? Is there any record?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The era of the Fighting Saint Ape is so distant; most people’s understanding of it is very limited.

Lianyue Immortal said, "I have heard a story about the Fighting Saint Ape, but I don’t know if it’s true."

"Oh? Let’s hear it!" Everyone became interested.

"The Fighting Saint Ape was born of heaven and earth. From the moment it was born, it had already jumped beyond the Three Realms and didn’t belong among the Five Elements. Later, it visited the Immortal Mountain and followed Bodhi Taoist for cultivation, learning many astonishing Divine Skills and became the leader of the Demon Clan. At that time, around the Fighting Saint Ape were numerous powerful figures; even the mana-reaching Seven Saints of the Demon Clan came to pledge allegiance. The Heavenly Realm, seeing the Fighting Saint Ape gaining influence, feared that if this continued, the Demon Clan would grow stronger and devised a plan to recruit the Fighting Saint Ape into the Heavenly Realm, giving it the title of Horses’ Fortune, attempting to restrain it."

"How could the lord of the Demon Clan suffer such humiliation? So, it returned to the Demon World!"

"The Heavenly Realm, seeing the Fighting Saint Ape defiant, sent a massive army to battle the Demon World!"

"The Fighting Saint Ape likely died in this battle."

...

"The Heavenly Realm surpasses the Three Thousand Great Worlds, a higher-level world, while the Demon World is one of the Three Thousand Great Worlds; the Heavenly Realm and the Demon World are entirely different planes. It’s said that the Heavenly Realm reigns over the Ten Thousand Realms, governing millions of worlds, which doesn’t seem unfounded."

Lin Feng said.

"The Heavenly Realm is still too far beyond our reach!" Young Master Hann Shan fanned his folding fan.

Everyone nodded.

The priority now is to live in the present.

"Netherworld Soldiers!" Suddenly, Huowu Immortal exclaimed.

In front, patrolling Netherworld Soldiers appeared, exuding a chilling and terrifying aura.

These were soldiers of the Netherworld, and now they had emerged here.

If Netherworld Soldiers were patrolling, they might be guarding something?

Lin Feng and the others hid, avoiding the Netherworld Soldiers.

Netherworld Soldiers are undying beings.

If they are alarmed.

It could cause overwhelming trouble.

Wherever Netherworld Soldiers are, there likely is a passage to the Netherworld.

After avoiding the Netherworld Soldiers, they continued deeper in.

The deeper they went, the more Netherworld Soldiers appeared.

"Ah..."

From afar came the cries of agony.

There was battle over there.

Dozens of cultivators fought fiercely with Netherworld Soldiers.

Slaughtered by the Netherworld Soldiers.

And then, those Netherworld Soldiers consumed the Blood and Essence of dozens of cultivators.

In the blink of an eye.

Dozens of cultivators turned into dry corpses.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Feng and the others drew in a sharp breath.

The cultivators who came to the Fighting Saint Ape Secret Realm were all absolute high-level.

Yet they were so easily dealt with by those Netherworld Soldiers.

The eeriest part was that these Netherworld Soldiers actually devoured their Blood and Essence.

Lin Feng originally thought Netherworld Soldiers didn’t eat anything; now he understood that they did indeed eat, and they devoured cultivators’ Blood and Essence.

Once the group of Netherworld Soldiers left, Lin Feng and the others continued cautiously deeper in.

But soon, they too were discovered by Netherworld Soldiers.

A group of Netherworld Soldiers charged aggressively.

"Great Compassion and Great Mercy! Mahavira!"

Buddha Light enveloped Lin Feng’s hands as his palm struck a Netherworld Soldier.

Netherworld Soldiers are Evil Spirits.

Divine Skills from Buddhism counter Evil Spirits.

But what Lin Feng didn’t expect was as his palm hit the Netherworld Soldier’s body.

Inscribed all over its surface appeared dense runes.

These were runes from the Netherworld.

Unusually strong.

Neutralized his attack.

And then, that Netherworld Soldier struck fiercely at Lin Feng.

Bam!

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

Lin Feng was directly slammed away.

Crack crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed.

His chest collapsed inward.

You must know Lin Feng’s physical body now was at the Heavenly God Peak, and he had just used mana to protect himself.

Yet could not withstand the Netherworld Soldier’s attack.

This Netherworld Soldier’s attack was terrifyingly powerful.

No wonder those other cultivators previously died by the hands of Netherworld Soldiers.

Their deaths weren’t in vain.

Lin Feng quickly activated his Undying Divine Body to heal.

At the same time, he unleashed the Nine Demon Map, repelling the attacking Netherworld Soldiers.

"These Netherworld Soldiers are too terrifying, impossible to kill; we must hurry away, otherwise, once surrounded, there’s only death."

Huowu Immortal said solemnly, suppressed during the duel with the Netherworld Soldiers.

The others were in similar situations.

Far off in the distance, squads of Netherworld Soldiers were rushing from all directions.

"Follow me and activate the Nine Demon Map! Let’s break through!"

Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words.

Everyone was startled.

All eyes turned to the fragmented map floating above Lin Feng’s head.

They originally thought this map was just an ordinary treasure, not realizing it was the Supreme Treasure Nine Demon Map.

Everyone quickly gathered around Lin Feng, together activating the Nine Demon Map.

Mighty mana flowed into the Nine Demon Map.

Releasing the Emperor’s Power from the Nine Demon Map.

Magic Light surged, enveloping Lin Feng and the others.

Then they manipulated the Nine Demon Map, crashing it into the surrounding Netherworld Soldiers.

Bam bam bam!

Accompanied by the sound of muffled collisions.

Blockading Netherworld Soldiers.

All were knocked flying.

With Lin Feng and the others swiftly dashing further inside.

Yet at this moment, a twisted vortex appeared in the Void.

In the vortex, a pitch-black gate.

Now, that gate opened.

Immense suction force emanated, enveloping Lin Feng and the others.

"Break!"

Lin Feng shouted, the Nine Demon Map jolted the Void, dissipating all suction.

But at that time.

A monstrous pitch-black hand.

Extended from behind that gate.

"Lowly beings, trespassing the Guardian Land of Netherworld Soldiers, you shall be absorbed forever!"

A cold voice echoed.

Feeling the dense deathly aura from behind the pitch-black gate.

Lin Feng’s expression drastically changed, he said sternly, "That’s a passage to the Netherworld, such presence must be a master from the Netherworld, everyone, we must fight, or else we’d surely perish!"
