Chapter 828: Chapter 826: North Netherworld Domain
Wang Zhan could only explain once again.
Standing aside, Xiang Tian shrugged and then looked at Luo Xue, saying, "Doesn’t it feel particularly unbelievable? But, we must admit one thing, and that is Brother Wang is still the one who gained the most..."
Luo Xue could only shake her head helplessly. Actually, she had known this all along. After all, hasn’t it always been this way?
Over time, she gradually got used to it.
Beside her, Wang Zhan spoke up again, "There are too many oddities in the Star Domain, and we can’t stay here any longer. We should pack up quickly and get ready to leave."
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.
In the blink of an eye, they vanished into the white mist.
...
With the help of the Sword Spirit, the three quickly left the Star Domain.
As soon as they stepped out, they saw the entrance of the Star Domain shudder violently, streams of light falling, and the entrance rapidly disappearing!
Standing aside, Luo Xue patted her chest and then heaved a sigh of relief, saying, "Thankfully, we came out in time, or else who knows what would have happened..."
Wang Zhan didn’t say a word.
They looked around, finding no trace of anyone, and then headed downstairs toward Hegemony City.
As they entered the city, the people reacted as if they had seen ghosts, quickly dodging aside, with many even kneeling in front of Wang Zhan and the others.
This...
Wang Zhan looked at them with surprise, puzzled, and asked, "What’s going on?"
"It seems the people in the village consider us to be harbingers of disaster, avoiding us like the plague."
Xiang Tian chuckled, looking at a young man who had just entered the city. A smile played on his lips as he prepared to leave first. Xiang Tian quickened his steps, appearing beside the young man in a few strides, grabbing his shoulder and forcibly pulling him close, then kicked his knee.
The young man fell heavily to his knees, his face pale and trembling uncontrollably.
"Back when we first came to Hegemony City, you all treated us like enemies, even chasing us relentlessly. Now, we just got out of the Star Domain and you’re still like this? Give me a reason, or believe me, I’ll..."
As he spoke, Xiang Tian raised his hand, scaring the young man into kowtowing repeatedly, whispering, "Sir, honestly, it’s not that we deliberately avoid you, it’s just..."
"It’s just that no one has ever come out of the Star Domain alive, so how could we not be scared seeing you?"
Xiang Tian frowned slightly, "We don’t intend to eat you, why are you so afraid of us?"
The young man just kept his head down, without saying more.
"You bastard..."
Xiang Tian got angry, raising his hand to hit, when Wang Zhan came over, grabbing his arm and calmly saying, "Don’t cause trouble."
"But, Brother Wang..."
Xiang Tian frowned slightly, looking quite displeased.
After Wang Zhan gave him a meaningful glance, Xiang Tian finally lowered his hand, grumbling, "These bastards just need a beating. Only Brother Wang’s kindness spares them. If it were me, I’d love to just..."
Luo Xue elbowed him, and Xiang Tian noticed Wang Zhan’s increasingly grim expression, instantly holding his tongue.
"Since we’re not welcome here and can’t stay peacefully, we should leave first."
Wang Zhan said indifferently, then walked outside by himself.
Behind him, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue quickly followed.
The young man bowed several more times before sulkingly running back into the city.
After walking a few miles, Wang Zhan glanced back at the Great Void Divine Sword on his back, asking, "By the way, although we’ve been on the Star War Battlefield for a while, we don’t really understand its layout."
"Do you know how to enter the upper realm?"
Just as he finished speaking, the Sword Spirit emerged from the Great Void, instantly standing beside Wang Zhan.
She smiled and said, "No one knows the Star War Battlefield better than me."
"On the Star War Battlefield, there are nine planes in total, and in the bottom three layers, there are a lot of powerful demonic beasts. Although many humans live there, it’s mostly inconsequential."
"In my opinion, they are just living in difficult times."
"As for the middle three planes, the factions are complex, mostly stable sects, with many deities presiding."
"However, they’re all pseudo-deities."
This...
Wang Zhan was taken aback for a moment. After sitting down, he began to inquire, "What is a pseudo god?"
"Hmm..."
The Sword Spirit contemplated for a moment before speaking slowly, "Actually, they are people who have come down from the upper three planes. As for their actual strength, even I am not clear about it. In short, it should far exceed human limits."
The team of Wang Zhan and two others exchanged glances, and their faces all turned grim for a moment.
The Sword Spirit beside them spoke again, "And the strength of these pseudo gods is far inferior to that of the true deities, but their level of power should not be underestimated. At least in the middle three planes, their power is extremely terrifying."
"Even if you enter the middle three planes, you won’t stand a chance."
"So, never underestimate these pseudo gods."
Wang Zhan nodded, swallowing, knowing that the Star War Battlefield was full of hidden experts, but never expected it to be this extreme...
"The place we are currently in should be the uppermost layer of the lower three planes, right? That being said, do you have any way to let us enter the middle three planes?"
People strive upward, water flows downward, Wang Zhan was not prepared to remain stagnant any longer.
The Sword Spirit smiled and nodded beside him, but she pretended to be mysterious as she said, "Before leaving here, I hope you can go somewhere to refine the Great Void Divine Sword."
"By doing so, it will not only enhance my overall ability but also make the Great Void Divine Sword a true divine weapon and sharp weapon."
Wang Zhan asked straightforwardly, "Where is it?"
"North Netherworld Domain."
The Sword Spirit spoke slowly, "If I remember correctly, the domain lord of this North Netherworld Domain is a pseudo god himself."
"Swish!"
Wang Zhan’s face changed suddenly, instinctively stepping back a few paces, then shaking his head, "Are you joking with me? With my current strength, how can I possibly contend with a pseudo god?"
Although Wang Zhan didn’t know how formidable the faction of the pseudo gods was, one thing could be certain: it would be far beyond the realm of the Tribal Patriarch...
The Sword Spirit shook her head with a smile, "It’s not as exaggerated as you think. Although pseudo gods are quite powerful, the one in the North Netherworld Domain is just a residual soul, similar to the Azure Dragon Venerable you encountered before."
"There are certain restrictions on the Star War Battlefield; once one’s strength reaches a certain level, they must leave some planes."
"Judging by the Azure Dragon Venerable’s strength, he has already far exceeded those pseudo gods, but there is still a considerable gap compared to true deities."
Wang Zhan nodded, remaining silent.
In fact, he had already known this.
"Since you’ve made up your mind, let’s go to the North Netherworld Domain for a look. Even if we don’t gain anything, you can still use it for practice."
The Sword Spirit spoke again.
After exchanging glances, they headed in the direction pointed by the Sword Spirit.
...
Several days later.
North Netherworld Domain.
Looking around, it was a desolate scene everywhere, not a hint of any human presence.
Wang Zhan frowned and asked, "Is there no human survival in the North Netherworld Domain?"
The Sword Spirit explained, "That’s not the case; it’s just that all the humans are hiding. Besides, the North Netherworld Domain is extremely vast, with four cities and one camp. It’s said that the experts under each city lord have reached the realm of the Tribal Patriarch."
"As for the city lords themselves, they should not be underestimated."
Wang Zhan was taken aback, having worked his way up to the realm of the Tribal Patriarch, but didn’t expect there to be so many of them here.
Indeed, if not for encountering the Sword Spirit, he wouldn’t even know that in the space he’s in, there were so many skilled experts.
The Sword Spirit pointed northeast, "In the North Netherworld Domain, there is a Captive Dragon Abyss, where the pseudo god I mentioned resides. Many years ago, he named himself True Dragon War Venerable."
"But later, after his fall, the residual soul came here and has stayed in Captive Dragon Abyss for a thousand years without showing himself."
Beside them, Luo Xue approached, curiously glancing at the Sword Spirit before asking, "How do you know so much?"
"I am a Sword Spirit. I have existed in the Star War Battlefield since it first appeared."
"Even..."
She looked at the Great Void Divine Sword behind Wang Zhan and said, "I once traveled every corner of the Star War Battlefield with my first master, but unfortunately..."
"In that War of the Deities, my master fell on the spot, and I fell into slumber."
