Chapter 967: Catastrophe Devil Body

The cloud ship is a cost-effective means of transportation, favored by lower-tier Martial Artists.

The wealthy use Teleportation Arrays, those without money fly on their own, while middle-class Martial Artists use the cloud ship.

At this moment, a cloud ship three hundred meters long is flying high in the air, heading for Cloud City in Li Province.

Li Province is adjacent to Prison State, and Cloud City is the closest major city to Prison State; more than half of the Martial Artists on board are headed for Prison State.

While the speed of the cloud ship is average, it excels in comfort, and the price isn’t high — for one Supreme Grade Spirit Stone, travelers can enjoy a trip with full-range services for dining, drinking, and entertainment, although entertainment requires additional payment.

There are seventy-eight passengers on the cloud ship, one of whom is Su Han.

After leaving the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, he presented himself with his true identity, reverting back to being Su Han.

However, he didn’t fly directly to Prison State, nor did he choose the cross-province Teleportation Array, even though these methods are faster, they are not safe.

Su Han is twenty years old this year; at this age, most Martial Artists are below the Heavenly King Realm. Although the Central Plains is rich in talents, every prodigy is well-known — if Su Han displays Saint-level strength, it will undoubtedly attract attention from all sides.

Thus, Su Han chose to travel discreetly, not only opting for the cost-effective cloud ship but also only revealing his strength at the First Layer of the Heavenly King Realm. While this strength is somewhat above average for his age, it’s at most considered a small talent, not attracting much attention.

"Prison State is the most unique Daozhou across the Central Plains, with scarce Spiritual Energy, harsh environment, and frequent natural disasters. As a result, its population is sparse, but it has become a refuge for those atrocious villains with nowhere else to go."

"Although the environment in Prison State is now harsh, the population is quite large, filled with criminals and thugs, becoming a paradise for evildoers. Consequently, Prison State is known as Dark Heaven."

"Even though Prison State is rife with villains, there is a unique order amid the chaos, established by Hell. It’s the sole Immortal Force within Prison State, but is King Yama the Warden of Hell?"

Su Han stood on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and sea of clouds, yet his mind had already drifted far away.

Prison State has a terrible reputation, most Martial Artists dare not approach it unless they have nowhere else to turn, are hunted by enemies, or are inherently atrocious villains seeking refuge.

The passengers on the cloud ship mostly appear fierce and overbearing, with bloodstained hands — clearly not good people.

Of course, there are some who have nowhere else to go, seeking a chance for survival in Prison State; Su Han is considered one of these individuals.

Regarding Prison State, Su Han had already gathered plenty of information along the way.

Hell is the ruler within Prison State, also a major Immortal Force; the warden is low-key and mysterious, yet undeniably a Great Emperor Realm expert.

Because of Hell’s suppression, there’s order amidst the chaos in Prison State, preventing large-scale chaos.

King Yama instructed Su Han to find him in Prison State; immediately, Su Han thought of the warden, as there is only one Great Emperor Realm expert within Prison State.

Of course, it’s also possible that King Yama deliberately lured Su Han to Prison State with some unspeakable secret, thus Su Han is merely suspicious for now, unable to provide evidence.

"Is Ning Feifan really in Prison State, or is this just bait, a trap baiting me in?"

Su Han’s thoughts stirred, considering all possibilities.

He had no relationship with King Yama, although King Yama spared him once at the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, Su Han would not therefore trust him.

After all, King Yama is one of the Ten Great Yama Kings of King Yama’s Palace, and Su Han has an irreconcilable adversarial relationship with King Yama’s Palace.

Would he truly be kind enough to help him?

Unlikely!

One can only say he has his own plans, and Su Han has his own ideas.

Hence, this time Su Han doesn’t plan to directly seek out King Yama, but intends to enter Prison State as Su Han and investigate Ning Feifan’s matter himself.

Since King Yama mentioned that Su Han should come to Prison State, there’s a significant possibility that clues of Ning Feifan are hidden here, perhaps Ning Feifan is indeed here.

Prison State is in the southern part of the Central Plains, quite distant from the Heavenly Sword Dynasty; moreover, Flying Immortal Great Emperor is banned for ten years, if trouble arises, Flying Immortal Great Emperor would be difficult to support, so Su Han must be extra cautious.

Thus the identity of the Nineteenth Prince must not be exposed nor can certain signature techniques be used unless he is confident in killing the enemy; otherwise, he will not reveal his identity.

"Both Black Blade and Sword of Slaughter cannot be used; however, I’ve just obtained the Origin Technique of the Ethereal Ghost Physique, so I’ll play the role of a ghost cultivator. Along with Fourfold True Fire and Four Nether Cold Underworld Qi, they’re sufficient to deal with ordinary riffraff."

Su Han had thought everything through; although Prison State is a Dark Heaven, with his strength, how many can force him to reveal his true strength?

After all, even Imperial Son Zhong Kui perished at Su Han’s hands; among his peers, only the top four on the Hidden Dragon List could contend with him. As for the older generation’s experts, unless a Great Saint or quasi-emperor takes action, it’s challenging to force out Su Han’s true strength.

"First, head to Cloud City, and then find a way to enter Prison State!"

Su Han had considered everything thoroughly, and now withdrew his thoughts, no longer pondering.

The investigation must wait until he enters Prison State; without entering Prison State, it’s all empty talk.

Besides Ning Feifan, Su Han also intends to gather information on King Yama — what exactly King Yama’s plans are, whether they are targeted at him or Ning Feifan, or perhaps someone else. This, Su Han certainly won’t overlook.

"Hmm?"

As Su Han was about to return to his cabin to rest, his gaze suddenly caught a figure.

This was a person cloaked entirely in a black robe, obscuring her figure and true appearance, yet Su Han possessed the Nine Heavens Eye, capable of seeing through the black robe’s fiery figure that could make one’s mouth dry.

She was a woman around twenty years old, extremely beautiful, her exquisite features appeared like a perfect artwork carved by nature, her fiery figure enough to make countless women ashamed and thousands of men howl.

However, in stark contrast to her hot and sexy figure was her cold personality, not the kind that distanced people from a thousand miles away — it was an indifferent and cruel coldness, as if everything in the world was mere grass in her eyes.

Yet Su Han’s interest in her was not due to that hot and sexy figure nor her unique indifferent attitude, but because of her Special Physique.

This woman possessed one of the Three Thousand Special Constitutions and an exceptionally terrifying one at that — once discovered, it would undoubtedly cause widespread panic.

"Catastrophe Devil Body!"

Su Han instantly recognized this Special Physique.

Born with the power to control ominous forces; wherever she goes, calamities abound!
