Chapter 554 1 Sword
"What is that?"
When they got farther away and saw Li Cheng and Qinglian with ugly faces, Jiuye asked with some confusion.
In his memory of the Netherworld, these eyes did not exist at all. They were completely beyond his understanding.
After all, he used to be a supreme being who had the ability to suppress all the immortals, but when he saw those eyes, he felt as small as an ant.
"That must be the existence that Cen Zhenxin has been thinking about, the Chaos True Body."
After taking a look at Yongjie and the others, Li Cheng sat back on the blackened rotten stone and shook his head.
That kind of existence that was completely superior to them, even if only a small part of it was revealed at this moment, was enough to make them tremble.
If that eye were allowed to completely break through the body of the star beast, then the only fate that awaited them would be death.
"When that eye first appeared, that was when Cen Zhen and his men took action. They gained very strong power from it."
Glancing at the collapsing landforms nearby, Qinglian looked a little tired facing this world that was about to end.
But he quickly regained his composure. After paying such an unimaginable price, he would not escape even if the other party was so powerless.
"You came out of the Netherworld before, do you know how to get there now?"
Turning his head to look at Jiuye who followed, apart from Cen Zhen, this guy was the last supreme being alive.
Hearing this, Jiuye's eyes showed some hesitation, but when he saw Li Cheng's serious expression, he nodded.
"The Nine Netherworld is just above the dome of the Star Beast. It is a small world there."
Before, Jiuye didn't care about whether it was a star beast or not. Killing was the only thing on his mind. But now that he thought about it carefully, he realized that he had missed a lot of important information.
The true form of this star beast is an Ouroboros, with its bodies entangled and the snake swallowing its tail. The Nine Heavens were specially chosen by the immortals to be established on the dome, with the intention of being the highest person.
But Cen Zhen also created the Nine Netherworlds at the tail of the snake that was swallowed by the snake's mouth, which echoed the Nine Heavens at the same position.
If you get there, the location is exactly the same as where Xi Ri is, upside down.
"I think I know where that place is."
After listening to Jiuye's words, Qinglian spoke to everyone.
He had been in the Netherworld for many years, and had searched everywhere for Cen Zhen.
Now that Jiuye mentioned the small world located in the dome, the first place he thought of was.
After saying that, he leaped away in the opposite direction of those chaotic eyes.
Although they could act under the other party's nose, they would be exhausted to death before they could reach Cen Zhen.
When everyone saw Qinglian taking action, they immediately followed without any suspicion.
"Oh!"
The rotten earth below continued to collapse and burst out blood-red lava. In this vast world, apart from this wailing sound, there was no other movement.
Those normal creatures living in the Netherworld had almost died out when Jiuye and his men first went to war with the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Those who stay are either crazy or a bunch of pitiful people.
The green that I saw in Qing before was probably the last gift from this world.
Seeing this scene unfolding before their eyes, everyone was silent.
Especially since Yongjie and his companions often stayed in Huangyun Mountain and were used to the lush green mountain scenery, by comparing it with here, they could empathize with the feelings of those demon cultivators.
"We're almost there, fellow Taoists, please pay attention!"
Not long after, Qinglian brought them to an area filled with black corpses. The thick death aura was so strong that even a Void Refining cultivator could not withstand it for long.
Naturally, Li Cheng now did not take these deathly auras seriously. He raised his hand and separated the light, wrapping everyone in it, while lowering his head to look at the black earth below.
The dead energy that had condensed into substance was now twisting into extremely huge beasts, which were moving aimlessly below.
"Where is this place? Why are there so many giant beasts?"
Xiaoyue looked at the giant beast below in surprise. As far as she knew, there had never been any giant beasts in the Netherworld.
When Cen Zhen came to the Netherworld, he did not use the origin of the Netherworld to create the giant beast, but instead used it to create Jiuye and others.
But the residual image of the giant beast below shows that there were many giant beasts in the underworld in the past.
"Are these giant beasts the offspring of star beasts?"
Jiuye quickly thought of a possibility and spoke out in surprise.
Just as the giant Qilin gave birth to a Qilin, it would not be surprising if this star beast gave birth to offspring.
With all kinds of doubts, everyone followed Qinglian and stopped at a huge deep hole.
"From here, you can go directly to the Nine Netherworld."
"What is this place?"
"The final destination, that's what those people said."
Qinglian briefly introduced to everyone the place they were currently staying. Just as Jiuye had guessed before, these afterimages were the descendants of the star beasts of the past, which later evolved into giant beasts.
The giant beasts created by the immortals are just poor imitations of them.
In fact, the two worlds were once a whole, and these behemoths lived freely in this world.
This situation was not broken until the people from the Moon Palace arrived earlier than the immortals.
In order to completely seal off the chaos, they sacrificed almost the lives of their entire clan, allowing the star beasts to split the entire world into two.
Today, this place is where those giant beasts spontaneously bury their bones when they die.
I don't know how many tens of thousands of years have passed, but their afterimages still linger in this world until this world disappears.
"How do you know these things?"
“Because I’ve been here.”
After answering Jiuye's question, Qinglian nodded to Li Cheng, and then fell into the huge bottomless pit in front of him.
Led by Li Cheng, everyone followed Qinglian and jumped into the abyss.
Just as he fell into the abyss, countless life particles suddenly emerged from the seemingly lifeless and dark abyss.
After a moment, everything in front of everyone's eyes was completely filled.
Falling into it, it feels like being in a huge rainbow stream, and in an instant even time seems to stand still.
It was unknown how much time had passed before everyone came to their senses and found themselves in a huge ruins.
"This is the belly of the star beast. Next, we have to go directly to the dome from here."
Seeing that everyone had come to their senses, Qinglian raised his hand and used his spiritual power to transform into the appearance of star beasts, and marked their location with the Nine Netherworlds.
Looking at the ruins around him, Li Cheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect there is such a place in the Netherworld."
Now the entire Netherworld is facing collapse, but this place in front of him seems to be unaffected, which surprises him a little.
Combined with the rainbow light seen before, there is no doubt that it is the life particles from the giant beast.
But that was just a scene from the past. If the Netherworld had such power, it wouldn't have become what it is now.
"It's the interior of the star beast that is disintegrating now, but it's only a matter of time before it spreads here."
Qinglian didn't want to continue talking about this topic. He just said one word and continued to lead everyone towards the depths of the ruins.
Judging from the position he gave just now, as long as we follow the belly of the star beast towards the dome, we can reach the Nine Netherworld.
But would it really be that smooth?
Looking at the two magical weapons that appeared in front of them, they attacked everyone from a distance.
"What is this?"
"Those divine soldiers who stayed behind to guard the ruins are very dangerous. Please retreat and let me deal with them."
Seeing the two magical weapons flying towards them at a high speed, Jiuye volunteered to show off his skills, but was slapped into the ground by the opponent, causing him to grimace in pain.
Fortunately, he was wearing the supreme armor, otherwise, he would have been able to beat a Void Refining cultivator into pieces with just this one blow.
With one sword, the divine weapon that wanted to attack Li Cheng was forced to retreat. Qinglian calmly picked up the broken sword in his hand and held it in front of him. The blackened sword body was instantly filled with blood light.
Facing the divine weapon rushing towards them, he moved slightly, and after a moment, he casually swung the sword in his hand to the ground, and the red light on the sword disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, the two divine weapons disintegrated and shattered, and countless heavy pieces of iron fell from the air and hit Jiuye on the head who had just crawled up from the ground.
Even though he reacted, he was still hit on the head by a piece of broken iron, causing him to be disfigured beyond recognition due to the pain.
"Be careful, there will be more of these coming."
Instantly destroying two divine weapons whose strength was comparable to that of the peak fusion realm, Qinglian said something to everyone as if nothing had happened, and continued to rush forward, making Yongjie and others who were protecting Li Cheng feel terrified.
The remaining spirit of Qinglian, whom Song Yuanzhou had invited that day, was able to disperse the strange fog on them just by its positive energy.
Facing Ximu, who had many cards up his sleeve, he almost defeated the enemy with one move.
The Qinglian in front of him was far inferior to him in his previous life, but even so, Cen Zhen still had to avoid him in the Netherworld.
With him as a teammate, I feel extremely safe.
Xiaoyue, who had gone to see Xi Ri with Li Cheng before, was stunned when she saw these two magical weapons and found that they had many similarities with their immortal guards.
But considering that these two groups of people came from outside the world, it is not surprising even if there are similarities.
It seems that these magical weapons are very common puppets outside the world.
"Go back."
Soon, they encountered three more divine soldiers, one of which could actually speak and gave a strange shout to Qinglian, who was leading the group.
Unfortunately, no one could understand his language, but judging from the divine thoughts emanating from it, it should mean "By the order of the Lord, anyone who trespasses will be killed!"
But the most surprising thing is the aura on its body, which has actually reached the Mahayana realm.
Qinglian, who was walking in the front, shouted to the people behind him. The broken sword in his hand was stained with red light again. Facing the three attacking divine weapons, he suddenly sheathed the sword behind him, then took a heavy step forward and swung the sword.
"boom!"
Everyone only felt that the space before their eyes was completely torn apart by the sword, like the collapse of the sky.
But in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scene returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
But the three divine weapons were completely transformed into countless fine ashes that scattered all over the ground, still emitting a faint high-temperature white gas, making the air filled with a foul smell.
"Have you always been this strong?"
Jiuye couldn't help it. He seemed to see the figure of Xiri in the past in Qinglian.
That was an invincible posture where just one person could crush them.
The strength they were proud of was nothing but a joke in front of the opponent's absolute power.
"After so many years of cultivation, it is only natural that I have this much strength. Only the sword in my hand will not let me down."
Hearing Jiuye's words, Qinglian shook his head and looked at the broken sword in his hand that he had picked up casually.
Before he embarked on the path of Taoism, when he was herding cattle for others, he liked to play with the broken wooden sword given to him by the young master.
He has never forgotten the mood he felt at that time.
"Well……"
Jiuye, who was obviously not from the same world as the other party, gave up the idea of continuing to communicate with the other party.
Just as everyone was about to move forward, Li Cheng suddenly asked, "Is this the place where Chaos was once sealed?"
Judging from the style of the ruins in front of us and the strength of these magical weapons, and thinking about what Qinglian said before, it is not difficult to guess where this place is.
If they continue to go deeper, it is not difficult to imagine where they will go, that is the place where chaos was once sealed.
"Yes, Chaos is here, and Cen Zhen took it away from here."
Without denying, Qinglian nodded in agreement.
The reason why he knew so much information was that he had been here once.
At that time, in order to pursue Cen Zhen, he searched all over the Netherworld and finally found this place.
Not far from the end of this road is Cen Zhen and his team’s base camp, the Nine Netherworld.
“When I came here before, there weren’t so many of these things.”
Qinglian shook his head. The last time he came here, he was also attacked, but there were not as many magical weapons as before.
They had only gone less than one-fifth of the distance, and it was not difficult to imagine what enemies were waiting for them behind.
"Master, can you communicate with them?"
Just as everyone put their thoughts aside and followed Qinglian deeper, Xiaoyue suddenly asked Li Cheng.
She had this idea since the divine soldier spoke just now.
If we can communicate and have a common goal, this should be possible.
"Wouldn't it be faster to just kill them?"
Without waiting for Li Cheng to answer, Qinglian said without turning her head.
This answer stunned everyone and they didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Can we only say that Qinglian is worthy of being a demon cultivator?
But there is nothing wrong with what he said. The longer they delay here, the more dangerous Yongcang Prefecture may become.
"Give it a try. If we keep going like this, it won't be a solution."
After thinking for a while, Li Cheng said to Qinglian who turned around.
If we can pull the magic weapons here to our side, we can solve the problem of insufficient combat power.
Moreover, it is not a good idea to let Qinglian take action all the time. He needs to save some strength to deal with the enemies in the Nine Netherworld later.
"Then I'll do as you say. If there's no other way, I'll take action again."
Without objection, Qinglian responded and continued to fly towards the depths.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh at the sword immortal's personality.
