Chapter 1797: Chapter 1794: Entering the Netherworld
The voice of the Dragon Soul seemed to echo in Xu Wendong’s mind as though it came from the Jiuyou Land: "The Three-Life Stone, that is the supreme treasure among the Three Realms, containing power and secrets beyond imagination."
After a brief pause, the Dragon Soul continued: "With your current Soul Force, to recklessly step into the Netherworld, even if you know the exact location of the Three-Life Stone, you won’t be able to get close at all."
Xu Wendong’s expression was solemn, filled with doubt.
Just as he was about to ask further, the Dragon Soul’s voice resounded again: "Therefore, after you enter the Netherworld, your primary task is to find a noble young master of the Netherworld."
At this point, the tone suddenly turned icy: "Find a way to eliminate him and possess his Physical Body."
"In this way, you can leverage his resources to quickly strengthen yourself."
"Once you reach that point, then you can search for the Three-Life Stone with complete assurance."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
He was not a person who loved killing; upon hearing that he had to kill right after entering the Netherworld, a strong resistance arose in his heart.
However, thinking of the mission he bore and the heavy responsibility of finding the Three-Life Stone, his gaze gradually became determined.
Yet, as long as he can complete the mission, find the Three-Life Stone, let alone killing one person, even if he had to become a despised Demon, he wouldn’t flinch.
"Let’s go, we will head to Mount Tai, where the entrance to the Netherworld is hidden beneath it." The voice of the Dragon Soul echoed again in Xu Wendong’s mind.
Xu Wendong responded solemnly with a nod, immediately taking Qing Niao’s hand, soared into the air, and dashed towards Mount Tai like a shadow!
In an instant.
Under the guidance of the Dragon Soul, Xu Wendong and Qing Niao arrived in a tranquil valley in the Taishan Mountain Range.
Though the sun was blazing, the temperature in the valley was very low, carrying a hint of cold chill.
Even Xu Wendong and Qing Niao felt a chill down to their bones!
The Dragon Soul spoke: "This place is the junction of the Yin and Yang Two Realms. You just need to perform Soul Out-of-Body to enter it, as for your Physical Body, consider it my persona in the mortal world; I will take good care of it for you!"
Xu Wendong reluctantly looked at Qing Niao, softly saying: "Train well in the mortal world, wait for my return!"
"Be careful, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If you really can’t come back, I’ll just go to the Netherworld to find you." Qing Niao, with tears in her eyes, looked at Xu Wendong. They had spent a passionate night together, and who would have thought they would part today.
Moreover.
Unlike the last time.
This time they were actually being separated by Yin and Yang!
"Rest assured, I’ll definitely return safely." Xu Wendong fondly touched her forehead.
Then, following the Dragon Soul’s instructions, he sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and tried to reach a state of mental serenity.
Qing Niao quietly guarded by his side, acting as his protector, to prevent any mishaps.
Who knows how long had passed, Xu Wendong felt his consciousness gradually detach from his Physical Body, slowly drifting into the void.
He looked back, only to see his Physical Body, under the control of the Dragon Soul, already standing up, forming a mysterious Seal with both hands, then pointing at the ground.
In an instant.
The ground shook violently like a distorted mirror, and then a black vortex appeared in Xu Wendong’s vision, a powerful Devouring Power surged forth.
As he approached the entrance, a bone-chilling coldness struck him, as if the surrounding air froze.
The entrance was shrouded in thick black fog, eerie and terrifying, with strange noises echoing from time to time, sending shivers down one’s spine.
But Xu Wendong took a deep breath, waved at Qing Niao and the Dragon Soul, and resolutely flew in!
-------
Fierce winds carrying bone-chilling Yin Energy, like ferocious Evil Ghosts brandishing their claws and fangs, tore at Xu Wendong’s Soul.
He felt his consciousness continuously sinking in the endless darkness, falling into an unfathomable Abyss.
Ghostly wails and howls echoed around him, as though from the Nine Nether Hell, each wail sharp as steel needles, piercing straight into the depths of his Soul, causing his Soul to tremble uncontrollably.
"Is this the Netherworld?" Xu Wendong murmured in his heart, his voice full of reluctance and confusion.
He used all his strength to open his eyes with difficulty, only to see a deathly still, gray sky.
There was no warm sun or moon, nor twinkling stars, only layers upon layers of unsuspended Yin clouds rolling and surging, like an invisible prison, enveloping the whole world in endless oppression.
In the distance, a blood-yellow river flowed meandering, the surface filled with countless white bones, those bones soaked in the blood-yellow water, exuding a nauseating stench of decay, as if telling of past tragedies and despair.
Xu Wendong tried to move his body, only to find in horror that his Soul seemed bound by an invisible shackle, unable to change direction.
An overwhelming and strange force, like an invisible giant hand, was pulling his Soul rapidly downwards towards an unknown direction.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, he crashed hard onto the cold ground, his Soul felt like it was being torn apart, sending searing pain throughout his body instantly.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying on top of a similarly cold corpse.
This corpse belonged to a young man, appearing to be in his early twenties, with a delicate face, but now pale as paper and lifeless.
There was a menacing and terrifying blood hole on his chest, clearly inflicted by a sharp weapon, the blood long dried up and coagulated into dark red clots, appearing especially ghastly in this eerie environment.
What shocked Xu Wendong the most was that this corpse’s appearance bore a sevenfold resemblance to him, as if he were looking at a reflection of himself in another world.
"Could this be fate?" Xu Wendong murmured, his voice tinged with incredulity.
Just then, the corpse suddenly emitted a powerful suction force, like a bottomless black hole, pulling his Soul fiercely inward.
In an instant, intense pain like the rushing tide swept across his body.
It was as if a thousand steel needles were rampaging through his body, each inch of skin, every nerve fiber, enduring inhuman torment.
Xu Wendong gritted his teeth hard, even biting his gums bloody, yet he still endured the pain, with only one thought in mind: survive and find the Three-Life Stone!
It’s unclear how long time passed, the pain gradually subsided.
Xu Wendong slowly opened his eyes, realizing he could now control this body.
He slowly raised his hand, looking at his paper-pale palm, feeling the gentle flow of Yin Energy within it, like a trickling stream.
Suddenly, memories flooded into his mind like a broken dam.
This body’s former owner was named Lin Mo, the illegitimate son of a small family in the Netherworld.
Due to his mediocre Talent, he was bullied and humiliated by others in the family, often beaten and mocked by other disciples.
Three days ago, he was framed and led into the wilderness outside the city by Lin Feng, a direct descendant of the family, and was brutally murdered.
"Lin Feng..." Xu Wendong clenched his fists, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Since he has borrowed this body, he will avenge Lin Mo himself!
This blood debt, he will make Lin Feng pay back manifold!
