CHAPTER 1648: CHAPTER 1589 NINE NETHER MYSTERIES, TIAN PENG ANCIENT SHIP!

The Human Realm in five directions, ancient and vast, stretches from the dark lands of the far Eastern Wasteland to the polar regions of the Western Frontier, from the vast waves of the Northern Sea to the fiery forests of the Southern Departure, filled with endless slaughter and endless horns.

If one could stand at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault, they would find the entire earth of the Human Realm shrouded in a faint murderous aura. Within the ancient forested mountains and rivers, everywhere there are blood-colored shadows like torrents, the gathering of the War Masters of the human race.

It’s impossible to describe the number of these War Masters, as it is simply too vast. Quintillions of human tribe people have been mobilized, bursting forth with a sky-shattering might. The War Masters, composed entirely of the Towering Realm, even high-tier Towering Realm, and even from the legendary semi-king level, are countless and terrifyingly infinite.

This is the accumulation belonging to the vast ocean of the human race.

These War Masters patrolled the ancient forests and wilderness, completing their gathering and training. However, the Desolate Wilds are just too vast, and the human population is too numerous, with countless ancient lands, tribes, so even after a hundred years, only a small part of the gathering was completed.

One hundred and twenty years later, Xiao Chen awakened from under the Mountain River Seal Bodhi ancient tree, stepping through the illusory spacetime wrapped in silver light, when he saw Luli again, it felt like a different lifetime.

"Master." Upon seeing Xiao Chen emerge, a streak of excitement appeared in Luli’s eyes.

"Luli, after devouring two world crystals in a row, to what extent have you recovered?" Seeing the lively Luli, Xiao Chen was also very happy. Over these years, he was mostly in seclusion, and Luli was also in self-repair.

"With world source crystals like these, after devouring ten or eight, I should just about recover."

However, Luli’s response made Xiao Chen draw a breath; ten or eight means ten or eight of different small worlds.

Deep within Luli’s pupils, a flicker of inexpressible divine light flashed and disappeared without speaking, and Xiao Chen was slightly shocked by Luli’s words at this moment, not noticing Luli’s fleeting glance.

"Alright, when I return from the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, I will traverse all the heavens and myriad realms to seize world sources for you."

"Master, Luli recalled some memories, seemingly related to the Nine Nether Underworld Realm you’re about to head to!"

What!

Xiao Chen’s eyes showed astonishment. Long ago, he discovered the connection between the Mountain River Seal and this spacetime. Previously, due to Luli’s own damage, he couldn’t investigate deeply. Now, she absorbed two world sources; did it make Luli remember something?

"Luli, did you recall something?"

Finally, the initial hesitation in her gaze turned into firmness, and Luli spoke out: "Master, there is something in the Nine Nether Underworld..."

However, in an instant, thunder blasted through the Void, a purple light directly appeared above the two, exploding with terrifying destruction. This is the Mountain and River Seal World, and Xiao Chen was in the Human Emperor Palace’s Azure Blood mini-world, yet it still did not block the indescribable perception.

Whoosh!

Luli’s voice was cut off, unable to continue, a streak of fear flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as well; the induction of heaven and earth, what on earth is in the Nine Nether that can trigger such terrifying perception!

Who could it be!

After a long time, the purple light and silver electricity faded, Xiao Chen’s blood qi remained difficult to calm, his throat moving as he spoke: "Luli, what is going on?"

At this moment, a glimpse of panic flashed across Luli’s delicate face, with a touch of grievance as well.

"Rules, there exist terrifying forces that have established rules in the Nine Nether."

...

Quickly, Xiao Chen stepped out of the Human Heavenly Palace, tore through the Endless Void, and no one knew where he went. However, soon the Hundred Clans of Heaven experienced waves of turmoil, and the two small worlds of the Jade Clan and Wind Spirit Tribe, not very powerful among the Hundred Clans, were completely destroyed.

Half a year later, Xiao Chen returned to the Human Dao Royal Domain, bringing his wife, children, and Tiantai Xuan back to the Eastern Wasteland’s Gu Yuan, and then he did not cultivate, but accompanied his family. Earlier, the Dragon Blood from hunting the Golden Dragon Emperor was diluted to different multiples by him, distributed to the tribe people, and of course, his disciples as well.

In the Gu Yuan Realm, the sky-towering murderous aura over the earth of the Human Realm did not affect him. Of course, the peaceful days evidently passed quickly, with the spacetime of the Gu Yuan Realm trembling slightly before settling again.

All the way westward, when Xiao Chen once again stepped into the ancient burial ground, the four reincarnated emperors who had previously buried themselves in the mounds of sealed graves had already awakened again.

"You really came back!"

"I have come!" Xiao Chen gently nodded.

At this time, beyond the burial ground across the cliff, six streams of light were swiftly advancing: the Zhu Rong Bow, Gonggong, Purple Dragon, King Nujiang, Ao Jian, and the Bright Prince.

However, at this moment, the bone road on the cliff had already collapsed, with a blood mist rising from the endless depths of the cliff wall, severing the connection.

"Let’s go!"

Taking one last deep look at the six figures appearing on the opposite cliff, then looking at Xiao Chen by his side, the Azure Emperor spoke.

"Bastards!"

The Zhu Rong Bow erupted with blazing flames, trying to cross the cliff, but as he stepped forward, the enveloping blood mist sent him crashing back.

"You bastards, what right do you have to decide our path!"

"Even reincarnated emperors are not allowed!"

Unwilling, the Zhu Rong Bow engulfed himself in even fiercer flames, but the blood-colored wave was even more violent, hurling him back a hundred miles.

"Attack together, break through!"

In an instant, with a roar from the Bright Prince, a golden sun rose, followed by the other five, including the Zhu Rong Bow, unleashing their most violent powers towards a single spot.

They must break through the blood mist and cross the cliff!

Throughout the ages, Human Saint Children stepping onto Nine Nether has become an obsession, even if it means death, some things evidently hold greater importance than death!

Rumble!

An ancient burial ground, dark and desolate, the void above the cliff splits open, revealing purple lightning silver light spanning thousands of miles, forming menacing silver dragons that shatter the attacks of six Human Saint Children!

Endless blood mist rolls up into a sky-high tide, with a tendency to grow denser and denser.

At this moment, not only Zhu Rong Bow but the remaining Human Saint Children also grow furious.

"Bastard!"

"If you remain undying, I’ll break your blood bones!"

"We are Human Saint Children, kill! Kill! Kill!"

...

The dense blood mist soon suffuses this dark land, Xiao Chen looks through the void at the six figures again, surrounded by flames or water tides covering the sky, listening to the faint roars from afar.

Five people exchange a glance, laugh heartily, and finally turn towards the depths of the burial ground.

Advancing three-thousand miles along the decayed earth, a blood-red wilderness appears in front of Xiao Chen, spanning ten thousand miles, full of various cracks continuously spilling blood and death qi.

However, what surprises Xiao Chen is, on these pieces of split earth, whether large or small, there are grave tombs, some topped with damaged weapons, which are broken beyond repair, some even weathered, others wrapped in thick layers of stone pulp.

With slight fluctuations in airflow, Xiao Chen sees a petrified half war saber crumbling into powder.

"Here is the entrance to the Nine Nether Underworld Realm!"

Cang Huang speaks out, looking at this ancient wilderness burial ground, this cluster of grave tombs represents a mighty human warrior buried here to restrain the malign death qi spilling from Nine Nether Underworld.

Despite this, the earth here still cracks, continuously spilling malice and death qi.

Soon, five figures sit outside the wilderness, begin to meditate with closed eyes, now is not the best time to enter Netherworld as the death qi hasn’t fully erupted.

Thus, they wait for two whole years, during which the five figures seemingly turn to stone, their battle robes have already been eroded by the dense malice and death qi, leaving behind mottled traces.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the sky vault of the ancient burial ground begins to tremble, immediately followed by the ground, transforming death qi into a blood river, soaring from the cracks, converging together into a blood-red beam shooting directly into the sky.

This terrifying impact makes one’s heart tremble, as if the endless bloodred death qi is everlasting, the grave tombs on the wilderness like lonely islands in a turbulent ocean, relentlessly struck down by blood waves.

In Xiao Chen’s eyes, he sees one of the tombs crumble entirely, a middle-aged human warrior stepping out, shouting, raging, yet within mere moments is dried to blood bones by the endless death qi, vanishing between heaven and earth, while his tomb collapses entirely, forming a black hole connected to other places.

Thud thud thud!

Grave tombs overturn, blood bones and war soldiers all turn to powder; when the accumulated blood-red reaches its peak, it pierces the sky, tearing open the apex of the ancient burial ground’s sky vault.

When the stars shine down upon this earth that hasn’t seen light for endless ages, a vast and boundless aura explodes entirely, sweeping across the nine heavens and ten worlds.

"Go!"

At this moment, amidst the most violent of storms, Cang Huang shouts aloud, only at this moment when death qi erupts, is the gateway to Nine Nether Underworld opened, their only chance for entry!

Buzz!

The blood mist in the sky is torn apart, with a golden light splitting the death qi, this is a golden divine ship, its body bathed in golden light, etched with fine cracks, even its sails have holes, yet despite this, the golden light remains undying, radiating majestic royal might!

"Go!"

Instantly, five figures step onto the golden ancient ship, the ship suddenly shudders, dazzling and glaring, breaking through the blood mist, aiming directly at the great rift spewing death qi.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The ancient ship roars, breaking through graves, crashing out corpse bones, which then turn to dust, hurtling towards the endless depths below.

The terrifying death qi seems endless, directly hits the sky vault, the ship’s bow incarnates a golden-winged Dapeng Bird, piercing through the rampant blood qi, diving downwards fiercely.

Unknown how long has passed, death qi surges, the golden shadow of Dapeng already pierced with numerous blood holes, the entire ancient ship emitting crunching sounds, yet below the endless depths remain unseen!

Crack!

Suddenly, a loud crash reaches the ears of the five, Xiao Chen distinctly sees a great rift spreading across the ancient ship.

"Not good!"

Even the ancient ship crafted from primordial Tian Peng divine bones cannot withstand Nine Nether’s impact, already showing signs of disintegration!
