Chapter 1071 Underworld Emperor

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The entrance to the two realms passageway was between the two ice peaks. The distorted light at the entrance formed a funnel-shaped vortex. As soon as Chu Jun and Ding Qing arrived nearby, two powerful divine senses swept over. At the same time, a dignified voice sounded, "This is a forbidden area. You must not take another half step forward, otherwise …!"

However, before he could finish shouting, the two cultivators hurriedly flew out from the ice caves on both sides of the ice mountain. They rushed over to Chu Jun and Ding Qing and bowed respectfully, saying in unison, "This subordinate greets His Majesty the World King, Society Master Ding!"

These two Spirit Refining experts who were in charge of guarding the entrance of the passageway were both elders of the Heavenly Phoenix Sect. Chu Jun recognized them and nodded slightly. "Thank you, Elders. Have there been any abnormalities in the spatial passageway recently?"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are no unusual changes!" Yuen Long replied.

"This prince and Guild Leader Ding will go in and take a look!" After Chu Jun finished speaking, he brought Ding Qing into the entrance of the passageway.

The spatial passageway was filled with broken chaos. The passageway had been completely blocked, and there were spatial turbulence and extremely dangerous vortexes everywhere.

Ding Qing looked at Chu Jun with her beautiful eyes and helplessly said, "See, it's impossible to get through. Even if it was forcefully opened, it would still take a few years."

Chu Jun smiled and said, "Not necessarily!" After saying that, he took out the Blazing Divine Spear.

Ding Qing couldn't help but be shocked, "You really don't plan to spend a few years to open up the spatial passageway, do you?"

Chu Jun shook his head and replied, "It will indeed take a few years for the spatial passageway to be completely opened. But what if it is just a breakthrough?"

Ding Qing's eyes immediately lit up. However, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's too dangerous. There are spatial turbulence and whirlpools everywhere. Once it gets sucked into it, even if it doesn't die, it will still be confusing. At that time, not to mention heading to the Demon Realm, even returning will be a problem."

"I know, but I still decided to try!" Chu Jun said calmly.

Seeing that Chu Jun's gaze was firm, Ding Qing could no longer persuade him. She gritted her teeth and said, "Alright then, I'll accompany you for a walk."

Chu Jun hurriedly said, "No, I can do it by myself!"

Ding Qing raised her eyebrows and pretended to be annoyed, "You look down on this aunt for fear that I would drag you down?"

Chu Jun smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Qing, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood!"

"What does that mean?" Ding Qing snorted and said, "It's settled. Don't be coy and act like a woman. Otherwise, you won't leave me!"

Chu Jun helplessly said, "Alright!"

Only then did Ding Qing change her anger into joy. She smiled and said, "Go and explain to Yuen Long and the others. I will stay here to prevent you from sneaking away by yourself."

Chu Jun had no choice but to leave the spatial passageway and summon Yuan Long to instruct him. Only then did he return to the spatial passageway and rush forward with Ding Qing. The Blazing Divine Spear opened the way, and when it encountered chaos, it forcefully broke open. When it encountered spatial turbulence and spatial whirlpools, it carefully avoided them.

At this moment, Chu Jun's powerful divine sense came in handy. Because of the Dual Divine Technique s, his divine sense was extremely powerful. Even if he was blocked by the chaos, he could still travel tens of kilometers. This greatly reduced the risk of losing his way, and at the same time, he could predict the arrival of spatial turbulence and whirlpools in advance.

Chu Jun and Ding Qing worked together to break through the primordial chaos and advance in the direction of the demon realm. After exhausting almost all of their spiritual energy, they took turns entering the small world to rest and recover. This was because they had to leave one person behind to ensure the safety of the small world. The spatial passageway was no different from the outside world. If the small world was left unattended, the chaos that could move at any time would bring the small world elsewhere, or even be blown away by the spatial turbulence.

As time passed, the two of them continued to trudge through the spatial passageway.

The demons lived by absorbing the essence of mountains, rivers, vegetation, and trees. They believed in nature, were close to nature, and cherished nature. Perhaps this was also the reason why the demons were handsome. The demons believed that they had evolved from spiritual plants, so they claimed to be natural elves.

Because the demon race was close to and cherished nature, the spiritual energy in the demon realm was obviously more abundant than in the human realm, and the environment was countless times better than in the human realm. Towering ancient trees could be seen everywhere. The endless mountain ranges, the boundless wilderness, the azure sky, and the vines and flowers all revealed an awe-inspiring natural atmosphere. The vigor that bloomed made one feel relaxed and delighted.

Xiao Mountain was not just a mountain peak, but a huge mountain range. Xiao Mountain Stronghold was the closest demon settlement to the entrance to the Mortal World.

The settlements of the demon race were completely different from the city walls of humans. There were no walls that were a hundred meters tall. Instead, they were planted with offensive trees. Once demon beasts approached, the trees would automatically attack and drive them away. There was no need for the city guards to guard them at all. There were no tall buildings in the city either. They were all houses made of bamboo and wood. The periphery of the houses were also covered with various kinds of vines and flowers. They were filled with a natural and harmonious beauty.

This place was simply a peaceful paradise. The people living here were all elves.

However, this paradise-like Xiaoshan Stronghold quickly turned into hell. A dense aura of death rose above Xiaoshan Stronghold. The streets were filled with corpses. There were men and women, old and young, all of them demons.

Amidst the gloomy ghost aura, a woman dressed in revealing clothes and with a hot figure walked along the winding street. When she encountered the demon race, she reached out to devour her soul. Even an infant would not be spared.

When the last demon in Xiaoshan Stronghold was devoured, the woman's pale face finally regained some luster. After sweeping her gloomy and cold ghost sense around, she realized that there were no more living people here. Only then did the woman bitterly say, "There are less than two hundred people here. It seems like we need to find a bigger town to fully recover."

There was no doubt that this woman was Ghost King Mei. However, she looked extremely miserable at this moment. Although she had devoured the souls of more than 200 demons, her expression was still dispirited. Obviously, her injuries were not light.

It turned out that Ghost King Mi had tricked Xiao Xiaoxiao into using the teleportation tree to bring her to the demon race. He had originally planned to snatch the eight dragon cauldrons from the demon realm and then coerced Xiao Xiaoxiao into taking her to the remaining dragon cauldrons. He never thought that he would run into the Demon Emperor Luo Shanhe the moment he teleported to the demon realm. As the saying goes, humans are inferior to heaven's calculations. Ghost King Mei is also unlucky. Half-step King was almost killed by Luo Shanhe when he encountered a true King. He struggled to escape. However, he was also seriously injured. He escaped like a frightened bird for more than ten days. Only today did he dare to secretly sneak into the smallest demon settlement nearby to devour his soul.

At this moment, Ghost King Mi was about to turn around and leave, continuing to head towards the next demon settlement. However, his body suddenly froze, as if he had been struck by a Body Settling Curse, and he looked ahead in horror.

At some unknown time, a black-clothed girl was already standing beside a wooden house in front of her. At her feet was a demon corpse that had just been devoured by the Ghost King.

The black-clothed girl's face was like the most beautiful jade. Her eyes were blurry and she stood there quietly. She was warm and quiet. She was playing with a jade bottle in her hand.

Ghost King Mi fell to his knees, trembling with fear.

The black-clothed girl gently turned the jade bottle upside down. Eight teleportation tree seeds fell to the ground, and one of them rolled over to Ghost King Mei. Ghost King Mei's face was deathly pale as he trembled and knelt on the ground, not even daring to raise his head.

The black-clothed girl moved lightly and walked in front of the Ghost King. She said indifferently, "How dare you! Do you plan to take the Nine Dragons Cauldron for yourself?"

"Lord Underworld Emperor, please spare my life. This subordinate definitely does not have it. This subordinate only wants to obtain the Nine Dragons Cauldron to offer to Lord Underworld Emperor," Ghost King Mei said with a trembling voice.

"Really? You haven't told me anything from beginning to end. Are you planning on giving me a surprise?" Chai'er said coldly with a mocking look on her face.

"Lord Underworld Emperor, this subordinate also found out that Zhao Ling had stolen Chu Jun's eight dragon cauldrons, so I didn't have the time to inform you on time."

A cold light flashed in the black-clothed hairpin's eyes as she said indifferently, "Oh, looks like I have wrongly blamed you?"

Ghost King Mei trembled as he crawled on the ground, not daring to answer.

"Since you are so loyal, you must be willing to sacrifice your soul for me!" The black-clothed hairpin said quietly.

Ghost King Mi raised his head, his eyes filled with despair and terror, "Lord Underworld Emperor, please spare my life. This subordinate will definitely serve you with all his heart in the future, and will absolutely not dare to have any dissent."

The black-clothed hairpin slowly stretched out its hand to press down on Ghost King Mei's head and said indifferently, "This seat is not Chu Jun!"

"No … no, Lord Underworld Emperor, please spare me. For the sake of my fellow clansmen, please spare this subordinate one more time. This subordinate no longer dares to do so. I can still do many things for you. I am useful to you!"

Black-clothed Chai'er calmly shook her head, "Look at your half-dead state. If it was in the past, I can spare you and let you slowly recover. However, I urgently need to increase my strength now, so … your soul must be sacrificed!"

"No!" Ghost King Mei let out a miserable scream as his primordial spirit was sucked out of his body, transforming into an endless stream of black gas that was sucked into his nostrils by the black-clothed hairpin.

Ghost King Mei's face twisted painfully. His originally porcelain doll-like face gradually lost its luster. It was aging at a visible rate. In a short while, a beauty with a child-like appearance and large breasts had turned into an old woman with crane hair. Her skinny body trembled and she fell to the ground. Her cloudy eyes looked at the sky with deep unwillingness and indignation.

After the black-clothed hairpin finished devouring the Ghost King's origin soul, her aura soared upwards. Above her head, a skull with dense white bones appeared, and her aura was about to devour the heavens and the earth.

After a long time, the skull disappeared, and the terrifying aura around the black-clothed hairpin also subsided. The cold aura returned to its warmth and tranquility. He glanced at Ghost King Mei who was like a broken candle in the wind and said indifferently, "Go at ease. I will lead the ghost race to the peak and sweep the Three Realms!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeve and Ghost King Mi's body instantly turned into ashes and scattered.

The black-clothed hairpin turned around and flew into the sky. With a wave of her hand, a small town like a paradise was smoothed out without leaving any traces behind.
