Chapter 644: Source of the Netherworld
Helian Zheng has been imprisoned and tortured here for ten years, long having lost the will to live. But here, wanting to die doesn't mean he can die; his life is completely beyond his control.
The Eternal Night Demon King doesn't let him die, so he cannot die!
To the Eternal Night Demon King, Helian Zheng is still useful. Because he is not only a human with immense potential but also a powerful cultivator, stronger than any human in Changpan Valley!
The black tree growing on Helian Zheng is especially lush and is most likely to evolve into Jianmu!
"I can't be sure if the person who rescued people from Changpan Valley will come to save you, but if he plans to, I'll wait here for him. Lying in wait is the best strategy."
The Eternal Night Demon King had gradually calmed down, reverting to that peerless appearance, with holy wings growing from the fleshy wings on his body.
He remains the inviolable Divine Lord!
The Eternal Night Demon King waved his hand, and the black tree beside him began to extend black branches, quickly intertwining to form a black vine chair.
"I want to see if he will come here to save you!"
The Eternal Night Demon King sat on the vine chair and firmly trampled Helian Zheng underfoot.
Helian Zheng groaned in pain but could do nothing.
——
"This guy truly deserves to die!"
Xiang Beifei watched the Eternal Night Demon King from a distance, his brows furrowed.
The Eternal Night Demon King was indeed tough to deal with; facing this matter, he neither searched for someone personally nor went for a direct confrontation, choosing instead to lie in wait—truly a formidable opponent.
But now, he too was in a bind.
Because the Eternal Night Demon King's guess was correct, he did indeed intend to rescue someone.
Although the Eternal Night Demon King didn't know that Xiang Beifei was nearby, Xiang Beifei currently could do nothing.
Earlier, he had witnessed the abilities of the Eternal Night Demon King; this guy was extremely powerful, capable of reaching any place in the Yellow Springs Sea almost instantly.
Just creating a bit of disturbance to try and lure him away would be challenging, as the opponent only needed to condense a force to check the situation without needing to go in person.
And the force condensed by the Eternal Night Demon King would be difficult for Xiang Beifei to resist.
How to rescue him?
Is he supposed to continue in a deadlock with the opponent here?
Xiang Beifei simply sat down and began to think of a strategy.
He wasn't in a hurry, for he actually wasn't pressed for time.
However, he also understood that stalling with the Eternal Night Demon King was meaningless, as the Eternal Night Demon King, being immortal, could stand guard here for decades as if it were a day.
"Awoo awooo?"
Erha asked whether it should unleash its might and turnover all these black trees?
"No, you would be instantly suppressed."
Xiang Beifei shook his head.
Masters in the Immortal Realm were stronger than him by a level, and such simple disturbances could easily be suppressed.
At this moment, Xiaohei's voice sounded in his mind: "Woof! Woof woof! Woof woof woof!"
"What did you discover?"
Xiang Beifei's spirits lifted.
"Woof!"
"Alright, I'll go take a look."
Xiang Beifei glanced at the Eternal Night Demon King and Helian Zheng, clenched his fist, and then turned to move in Xiaohei's direction.
Earlier, to facilitate their actions, he and Xiaohei had split up, letting Xiaohei explore this small island. He did not know what Xiaohei had found.
He weaved through the black forest, taking two to three minutes to reach Xiaohei's location.
At this moment, Xiaohei was squatting in front of a bizarre house.
This house was located at the edge of the island, with the vast Yellow Springs Sea behind it. The entire house appeared blood-red; though called a house, it actually looked more like a gigantic skull, seemingly built upon the skeletal remains of some enormous desolate beast.
The skull was four to fifty meters high, with a dozen or so eyes on its face, each more than two meters wide. The eye sockets were carved with red array patterns, resembling doors.
Around this house, many rigid-meat-winged monsters were standing guard, their eyes dull, and their aura lifeless as if they were slain meat-winged monsters.
"Woof woof!"
Xiaohei pointed at this skull.
The skull was peculiar, harboring a strange aura swirling around it.
"A strange aura? What is it?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Xiaohei propped its little paw under its chin and spread its paws out, unable to articulate it.
"Is there an entrance here?" Xiang Beifei asked again.
"Woof!"
Xiaohei had tried to enter earlier but was blocked by the red array patterns, and any forced entry would alarm these meat-winged monsters.
It was cautious in its actions, having learned from its oversight near the Yellow Springs earlier, deciding this time not to rashly wield its brick with reckless abandon.
"Howww? Howww?"
Erha asked if this was the residence of the Eternal Night Demon King?
"Can't be sure."
Xiang Beifei got closer to this blood-red gigantic skull. The closer he got to the skull, the more oppressive the aura felt, pouring directly towards him.
This aura weighed down on him uncomfortably, even hearing an unbearable whisper, as if something inside was howling.
He bypassed a stationed meat-winged monster and carefully approached one of the skull's eye sockets, trying to find a crack to peek through but finding none.
The array patterns of the skull's eye sockets looked like red curtains made of blood, obstructing the view, making it impossible to discern the situation inside.
Xiang Beifei circled this enormous skull, walking from the front to the back. Suddenly, he was taken aback.
Because at the back of this skull was a large opening, from which water from the Yellow Springs flowed out continuously, streaming towards the boundless Yellow Springs Sea.
