Chapter 1887: Chapter 1879: Black Copper Evil Object
Shi Ming, Chu Han, Chi You, Lan Chong and the others did not restrain their auras; the terrifying pressure they released made all the experts in the surroundings retreat in terror, far, far away.
"Emperor Lan Chong, your sensing isn’t wrong this time, is it? I said Huang Xiaolong would definitely pass through the Third Demon Forest. We waited in the Third Demon Forest for five days for nothing, yet never saw a trace of Huang Xiaolong." Chi You asked Emperor Lan Chong of the Blue Lion.
Lan Chong heard the interrogatory tone in Chi You’s words; anger flashed across his eyes, but in the end he still forced it down and said, "Rest assured, there will definitely be no mistake this time. Last time it was my miscalculation; I didn’t expect Huang Xiaolong to be so sly and actually not pass through the Third Demon Forest."
That Huang Xiaolong had not passed through the Third Demon Forest was indeed something Lan Chong had not anticipated.
Over this matter, he was furious as well.
"However, what did Huang Xiaolong come here for?" Slaughter God Sect Ancestor Chu Han swept his gaze around and asked in puzzlement.
Within a billion li radius, there was nothing particularly strange.
But there was no way Huang Xiaolong would have come here for no reason.
"Could it be that the two Demon Tablets are right up ahead?" Kuang Lei Demon Venerable said casually.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Everyone knew that Huang Xiaolong had climbed to the very top of the Ninth Level of the Demon Tower; it was very possible that his sensing toward the two Demon Tablets was indeed stronger than that of others, and that the two Demon Tablets might really be just ahead.
Nine Yin Giant Corpse Ancestor Erosion Bright did not speak, but his speed suddenly increased.
Chi You, Lan Chong and the others saw this and also sped up.
In less than an hour, they arrived at the cliff top where Huang Xiaolong and the others had been earlier.
After reaching the cliff top and seeing the crack that could only accommodate one person falling through, everyone was stunned.
"Huang Xiaolong is down there?" Slaughter God Sect Ancestor Chu Han asked Lan Chong beside him.
Lan Chong nodded. "I just activated the power of the Blue Soul Prohibition. My sensing tells me Huang Xiaolong is right below."
Everyone looked at the cold currents constantly surging out from below and exchanged looks.
"There are prohibitions layer upon layer below. Everyone be careful." Nine Yin Giant Corpse Ancestor Erosion Bright suddenly spoke.
Chu Han, Chi You, Lan Chong and a few others nodded. They too had seen that the prohibitions below were far from simple.
"I’ll go down and take a look first." Slaughter God Sect Ancestor Chu Han said. As soon as his words fell, he took the lead, his figure diving down off the cliff. Just as Chu Han had barely descended, he triggered a certain prohibition below. All of a sudden, countless black Ice Arrows shot up from below, tearing through the air at an astonishing speed; even Black Evil Demon Sect Leader Cui Huajie could only barely make out a few blurry black afterimages.
Seeing the countless black Ice Arrows shooting up from below, Chu Han gave a loud shout and slammed his hands downward. Dominator Power of Chaos descended like tens of thousands of giant mountains, instantly blasting those black Ice Arrows apart.
Chu Han continued his descent.
Practically every ten zhang he went down, there was a prohibition, and the deeper he went, the stronger the prohibitions became.
Chu Han shattered them one by one.
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Han’s figure disappeared into the darkness below.
Because of the effect of the prohibitions’ power below, none of them could see clearly what was happening with Chu Han; they could only crane their necks and wait.
Even with Chu Han’s astounding strength, by the time he reached a depth of a thousand zhang, it still took him half an hour. At that moment, endless black Ice Arrows surged up from below, simply Mountain and Sea Flipping; even Chu Han’s face drastically changed.
Another half hour passed, and those waiting at the cliff edge finally saw Slaughter God Sect Ancestor Chu Han shoot back up from below, looking utterly bedraggled.
Everyone was shocked.
Could it be that even Chu Han, a Dominator Strong, was unable to go down?
"I’ll go down and try." Chi You’s battle intent flared over his entire body. He leaped up, breaking through the air, and dropped down.
Chi You, being ranked second among the Devil World Twelve Demon Venerables, had just recently surpassed the Great Emperor realm, but his strength was indeed astonishing. He broke consecutive prohibitions one after another and reached a depth of a thousand zhang in only twenty minutes.
However, even though Chi You’s strength was a bit stronger than that of Slaughter God Sect Ancestor Chu Han, he only managed to persist for a little over an hour. In the end, he was just as bedraggled as Chu Han, shooting back up from below.
Everyone’s gazes fell onto Chi You, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Feeling everyone’s eyes on him, Chi You’s old face couldn’t help reddening as he said, "I was just a little bit short."
Just a little bit short!
But this was no doubt an admission that even he, Chi You, had not been able to go down.
Black Killing Demon Sect Leader Cui Huajie and the others sucked in a cold breath.
At this moment, Nine Yin Giant Corpse Ancestor Erosion Bright’s figure suddenly flickered, and he directly leaped into the depths of the cliff. Very soon, Shi Ming’s figure disappeared into the darkness.
While Shi Ming, Chi You and the others were entering Dragon Bear Valley beneath the cliff, Huang Xiaolong and the others were inside the Dragon Bear Valley Great Hall, meeting the current Clan Leader of the Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan, Azure Source Sect.
Azure Source Sect had kind brows and benevolent eyes, his appearance plain and ordinary, just like a common old man. If they met him outside, Huang Xiaolong and the others would definitely never have guessed that this person before them was the Clan Leader of the Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan.
Although this Clan Leader of the Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan, Azure Source Sect, looked ordinary, Huang Xiaolong knew that the other party was definitely a Supreme Sovereign, and his strength was no weaker than Chi You’s.
Azure Source Sect held Lu Xiaoqing’s Dragon Bear token in his hand, his expression somewhat reminiscent, somewhat emotional, and somewhat regretful.
"You said that Lv Hong died at the hands of Lan Pohan, the Ancestor of the Demon Eye Blue Lion Empire?" Azure Source Sect asked Lu Xiaoqing.
"Yes, Senior, I personally saw my great-grandfather die in Lan Pohan’s hands." Lu Xiaoqing hurriedly replied, incomparably respectful.
Azure Source Sect nodded, then his gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong. His eyes seemed as though they could see through everything, making Huang Xiaolong feel as if his entire being had been completely seen through.
At this moment, Azure Source Sect stood up and cupped his fists with a smile toward Huang Xiaolong. "Then you must be the recently risen Lord Netherworld King who is shaking the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds."
Everyone was taken aback.
Azure Source Sect had actually seen through Huang Xiaolong’s identity?
Huang Xiaolong cupped his fists and said, "I am indeed. I don’t know how Source Sect Clan Chief managed to discern it?"
Azure Source Sect smiled warmly. "Back then, the Hell Master came to Dragon Bear Valley. I am quite familiar with the power of the Netherworld King’s Jade."
Only then did Huang Xiaolong and the others understand. From Azure Source Sect’s words, it seemed the Hell Master and the Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan had considerable ties in the past? If that was the case, then matters concerning the Upper Heaven Original Stone would be much smoother.
Huang Xiaolong immediately stated his purpose in coming.
After hearing him out, Azure Source Sect pondered and said, "The Upper Heaven Original Stone is the inheritance treasure of my Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan; originally, it is never loaned out. However, the Hell Master and my master had deep ties back then. Therefore, if Lord Netherworld King wishes to borrow it, it is not impossible. However, Source Sect has one condition."
"Please speak, Source Sect Clan Chief." Huang Xiaolong said. Hearing Azure Source Sect agree to lend it out, he felt a great weight lifted from his heart.
"Back then, my master was afflicted by a Black Copper Evil Object." Azure Source Sect said.
"What, a Black Copper Evil Object!" Gao Changran and the others cried out in shock, their faces changing drastically.
Although Huang Xiaolong did not know what this Black Copper Evil Object was, seeing the expressions of Gao Changran and the others, he understood it was an extremely terrifying Evil Object.
Azure Source Sect nodded. "This Black Copper Evil Object can secretly attach itself to all things under heaven, and can even attach itself to a person’s consciousness. It can also continuously Devour the host’s Divine Power and soul. Even my master had no way to expel it."
"Later, my master had no choice but to seal himself and fall into slumber. During these tens of billions of years, my Upper Heaven Dragon Bear Clan has exhausted every method, yet we still cannot drive out this Black Copper Evil Object."
