Chapter 1046: On The Bridge Of Helplessness, The Lord Of The Netherworld!
Editor: Atlas Studios
What greeted Blackie’s eyes was a murky yellow river that seemed to be filled with impurities. It was turbid and cold.
It flowed slowly, without the slightest ripple or sound, like a dead river. The river water was filled with a thick aura of death. Even Blackie could clearly feel the boundless coldness and deathly stillness.
Countless filthy water and souls floated on the surface of the river. They struggled in it but could not escape the control of the River of the Dead. It was as if they had fallen into a muddy swamp and were trapped in endless suffering and an insurmountable fate.
On it, there was a dilapidated wooden bridge.
The pier of the bridge was engraved with sinister patterns of ghosts, and it kept struggling.
On both sides of it stood a huge statue of the right, as if it was guarding the souls on the bridge. At the end of it was a tall city tower covered in ancient moss. This was the door to the Underworld…
“Why are you shocked by the River of the Dead and the Bridge of Helplessness?”
A low and hoarse voice, like a whisper coming from the dark night, entered Blackie’s ears.
Blackie looked in the direction of the voice.
On the opposite side of the Bridge of Helplessness stood an old woman in a black robe. Her face was filled with wrinkles and death aura.
With a sinister smile on his face, he held a dragon wooden walking stick and a broken bowl in his other hand.
“Senior said that this is the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?”
Blackie, who had woken up, asked with a frown.
“What? You don’t know about the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?” The old woman pinched her throat and said in a voice that seemed to be cut by thousands of swords, “You people from the Yang Realm have to walk through the Bridge of Helplessness and pass through the gate of the Netherworld. Of course, if you violate the rules…”
The old woman pointed at the struggling souls in the River of the Dead and said with a smile, “Hehehe, it will be like these eternal traps in this river, providing nutrients to the River of the Dead.”
“However, how did you come to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace as a living person?”
At this point, the old woman’s expression gradually darkened.
The winds of the Yellow Springs blew around him!
Blackie’s expression changed slightly.
He could not see through this person’s strength!
Moreover, he had no room to resist under this Yellow Springs Wind!
Was this the strength a gatekeeper should have?
It was impossible for such a person to appear even among those Divine Master level factions!
What kind of power was the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace? Why had he never heard of it before?
Suddenly, Blackie’s expression froze.
The people from the Heaven Underworld Palace seemed to have said this before.
He seemed to have been chosen by the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace?
Could this be the so-called Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace that he was talking about?
“Why? I thought that you should have some strength to be able to come to the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace as a living person. Is that all?”
A hint of sarcasm appeared on the old woman’s face.
“Furthermore, there’s a hint of anger and hatred hidden in your eyes. How can you complete it with your level of strength?”
Upon hearing this, Blackie’s thoughts suddenly came to a halt.
Wisps of violent aura suddenly flowed out from his limbs, bones, and internal organs and gradually filled Blackie’s entire body!
His eyes were blood-red, and dark demonic qi began to float around his body at this moment… No, it should be called blood qi now. It was filled with a violent and bloody aura!
Blackie, who was originally calm, suddenly roared at this moment!
The body that was locked and suppressed by the Netherworld Qi actually let out a cracking sound at this moment!
Slowly, he took a step forward!
“Oh?” The old woman was slightly stunned. She sneered and said, “Interesting.”
Then, she raised the dragonwood walking stick in her hand slightly and gently lowered it to the ground.
For a moment, the Netherworld Qi turned into a whirlwind and began to envelop Blackie’s entire body!
The pressure suddenly increased!
Blackie’s back suddenly bent at this moment.
However, in his violent state, Blackie only had eyes for the old woman on the other side of the Bridge of Helplessness. He wanted to tear her into pieces!
In this unconsciously violent state, Blackie did not care. The muscles on his body bulged crazily, and his bones even let out sounds of being overwhelmed!
Crack!
This was the sound of bones cracking.
Blackie took another step forward!
The calmness on the old woman’s face could no longer be maintained.
“I’ve underestimated you. You’re quite talented to be able to unleash such power at such a physical body realm.”
“But… Can you continue to hold out?”
The suppressive power of the Yellow Springs Wind was constantly increasing.
Blood began to seep out of Blackie’s body. The bones in his body kept making sounds as they cracked inch by inch!
Blackie could still move forward even though his speed had slowed down!
This made the old woman’s expression even gloomier.
Perhaps it was because she felt embarrassed.
Her cultivation realm was so much higher than that of a junior. She was already bullying the weak, but she was still unable to suppress the other party.
Just as the old woman raised the walking stick in her hand again and was about to land…
A calm and low voice resounded throughout the entire Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace.
“Granny Meng, that’s enough.”
The voice was calm and there was an irrefutable dignity in it.
When Granny Meng heard this, her expression instantly turned serious. She put down the dragon wooden walking stick in her hand, and the Yellow Spring wind around Blackie stopped.
Blackie, who had lost his suppression, let out an extremely repressed roar!
His body was like a ferocious beast that had broken free from tens of thousands of chains. He turned into a blood light and rushed towards Granny Meng!
He actually crossed the Bridge of Helplessness without any resistance under Granny Meng’s surprised gaze!
He raised his fist and charged straight at Granny Meng!
However, when he was not far from Granny Meng and was already close, a tall and dignified man suddenly appeared in front of Blackie.
He gently tapped Blackie’s glabella.
Rumble!
A yellow sandstorm with the man as the center surged wildly in the surroundings!
At this moment…
Blackie’s body also suddenly stopped. The blood color around his body began to slowly dissipate at this moment. The blood color in his eyes gradually disappeared like the ebbing tide.
At the same time, his eyes slowly closed. His blood-covered body fell straight forward into the man’s arms.
The man chuckled softly. “As expected of the person chosen by the low-latitude Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace. He actually has such a bloodline and such strong talent. He’s not simple.”
Granny Meng, who was behind him, was shocked when she heard the man’s words.
The person chosen by the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace in the Low Latitude Realm?
One had to know that the strength of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Palace was stronger the lower the latitude.
Their High Latitude Region was actually the weakest among these three latitudes!
“Grand Elder, he’s the candidate for the Lord Of The Netherworld?!”
Cui Fu nodded slowly. “Don’t tell anyone about this.”
Granny Meng was drenched in cold sweat. She hurriedly lowered her head. “Yes…”
