Chapter 878 – Eighteen Underworld
Qu Liuxi walked in front of An Zheng, but An Zheng did not refuse. It was not because he was confident that Qu Liuxi would not encounter any danger ahead of him, but because he knew her determination. He followed closely behind Qu Liuxi, raising her concentration to the maximum, if there was any movement, she would immediately rush to the front.
“The taste is lighter.”
Qu Liuxi walked in front: “The corpses around here are becoming less and less, this doesn’t seem to be just the death worm’s lair.”
Just as she finished this sentence, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. He lowered his head and saw that there were no more broken bones on the ground. It was no longer sand that was stuck together, but stone slabs. With a slight frown, she stretched out her hand and a few pearls flew out to illuminate her path.
This was a secret passageway, and it was very wide.
The secret passageway was square and made of brick and stone. It was obvious that these bricks were very old. As soon as he touched them with his hand, a piece would fall off. Those pearls continued flying forward, and he knew that there was still no end to them from dozens of meters away, and in the distance was an endless darkness.
Qu Liuxi took a few more steps forward, but suddenly felt a chill behind her. She stopped abruptly, and in that instant, her entire face paled.
There waerson standing inside the wall beside her. His face was facing the outside, and his eyes were staring at her.
An Zheng did not sense any dangerous auras, and immediately went forward when he saw Qu Liuxi trembling. Then, he also noticed that person.
“He’s been dead for a long time.”
An Zheng patted Qu Liuxi’s shoulder. “It seems like it was cast into the wall after being heavily injured.”
It was a burly man that looked about 1.9 meters tall, and he was still wearing his simple and unadorned armor. It was just that An Zheng had never seen this type of armor before, it did not seem like someone from the Central Plains or the Western Regions. At the heart of the armor was a skull, which looked quite horrifying. This person must have died with great grievance. His eyes were wide open, and it was possible to see the wounds on his face.
An Zheng summoned the Water Repelling Pearl, and the secret passage became much brighter. He noticed that the man in the wall had several words engraved on the top of his head, but the words were very vague. Taking a closer look, it seemed to be written as’ Thirteen ‘.
“Could it be demons?”
An Zheng thought about the Demon Rankers he had met before. Jian Mo, the Rune Demon, they all had their own rankings. At this moment, the two words “Thirteen” were engraved on the dead man’s head. It was unknown whether or not he was actually a demon.
“There are still words here.”
Qu Liuxi pointed, and on the left shoulder of the corpse’s armor was a line of words... Yin and Yang in one palm. On his right shoulder, the words “Life and Death” were written in a single hand.
“What big words.”
An Zheng said: “Even the demons would not be so arrogant, to actually carve such arrogant words onto their armor. Did you see, this person doesn’t look like a normal human, maybe he was a demon beast? I thought at first it waelmet on his head, but when I looked closely I saw that it wasn’t. It was his horn. ”
The two horns were like dragon horns, but much smaller. What kind of person could actually grow horns on his head?
“There’s more up ahead.”
Qu Liuxi pointed with her trembling finger, and the two of them quickly moved forward. Only now did they realize that every five meters or so, there was a dead person embedded in the wall. Most of these people were tall and sturdy, and the armors worn on their bodies looked exactly the same, especially the identical characters written on the armors. On the left was the Yin Yang palm, while on the right was the Life and Death Hands. An Zheng walked and counted, and discovered thaotal of eighteen people had died. However, the numbers engraved on top of their heads were in chaos and not in order. The one on the outside was Thirteen, while the one in the innermost was Eighteen.
“Who are these people? Although they have died for a very long time, we can still feel the horrifying aura on their bodies.”
“Yeah, he’s probably the weakest among them, a super strong Ranker who has surpassed the Great Heaven Realm. His strength should still be far above Daxi Shenghuang’s. I don’t know which pervert actually killed eighteen of them in one breath and then even tried to cast their corpses into the wall. ”
“Not in one breath, but one by one.”
Qu Liuxi observed even more attentively, and looked at the people next to the wall: “I saw that the time these people were embedded in was not the same. Furthermore, the distance between the front and back was at leasundred years. That was to say, there was a person who killed these people one by one. The further in they went, the later the number of dead people became. Although these people were dead, it was still possible to tell that their bones were different from ordinary people’s, or perhaps it could be said that they weren’t even human. They all have horns on their heads, different sizes and different shapes. ”
The more the two saw, the more shocked they became. They didn’t know what kind of secrets this place held.
“It seems to be a cemetery?”
Right at this moment, the little kitten that was already taken away by An Zheng earlier suddenly walked out from within the Blood Pearl Bracelet, squatted on An Zheng’s shoulder and mewled towards one of the corpses. An Zheng and Qu Liuxi were just too familiar with the cat girl, if it was anyone else, they would definitely think that it was an extremely normal cat meowing, but An Zheng could actually hear the complicated meaning behind the cat girl’s cry. It sounded like hate, looked like memories, but also like sighs of emotion.
“good old man knows these people.”
An Zheng immediately closed his right eye, and the power of good old man’s Reincarnation Eye started to be released from his left eye. good old man turned to look at An Zheng, and the voice appeared in his mind.
“I didn’t expect all of them to be dead.”
“good old man, you know them?”
“Yes, I’ve seen him before in the Infernal Realm.”
“Stop bragging, alright?”
“Tch …” I am a Eye of Nine Incarnations, you will never know what I have experienced. These people had a great background. Even during the cultivation boom times of the ancient era, any random person that came out would haverrifying storm brewing. All of them have the strength to easily kill an Ancient Sage Stage cultivator. Even if that monkey was at the peak of its power, it wouldn’t have been able to fight three of these guys together.
“Who are they?”
“Nouman.”
“Can you not be like that Chen Shaobai guy, who likes to keep people in suspense when he talks.”
“They are …”
As if on purpose, good old man’s voice deliberately paused for a moment, and then, a few words exploded in An Zheng’s mind, causing his hairs to instantly stand on end.
“Prefecture Lord of the Eighteen Hells.”
There warace of doubt in good old man’s voice, “Which bastard would do such a great thing? Even if that fellow called Purple Ivy wanted to do it, he wouldn’t be able to.”
An Zheng was startled: “Purple Ivy?”
good old man made a sound of agreement: “The dark black cassock was taken out of hell by Purple Ivy, but it’s not really a fight. He found someone to fight with and fought until the sky darkened. Purple Ivy’s sacred artifact, the Glazed Fire, was smashed into pieces by that guy in hell, and that guy’s black cassock was taken apart by Purple Ivy. ”
Eye of Nine Incarnations also had a successor after Purple Ivy, so Mao’er called Purple Ivy not herself. So An Zheng was suddenly curious, “Since Purple Ivy is the owner of the Eye of Nine Incarnations, and perhaps the first owner, then you should know where that fellow went.”
“That guy …”
The good old man actually let out a very human-like sigh. Although the voice was clearly that of a child, he still spoke in an arrogant manner, “Qing Lian and Xuan-Yuan, these two old perverts, fought. In the end, they tore open another space and opened the door to another world. In order to express his determination to make a decision with this world, he abandoned the Eye of Nine Incarnations, his own cultivation technique and all of his notes.
“Why are you so decisive?”
An Zheng found it hard to understand. If he had opened the door to another world, wouldn’t it be even better to bring along a cultivation so arrogant that it would transcend the world? Then why did he have to abandon everything, even Eye of Nine Incarnations s? Without the Eye of Nine Incarnations, he might have really died.
Cat said: “Let’s not talk about this for now, let’s think of a way to deal with that death worm first. That thing was a loophole in the world. There would be no end to evolution unless everyone was eaten. Once it reached the point of invincibility, no one in the world would be able to kill it. The current death worm is only a larva, once it evolves to a certain degree, it will have wings on its back. ”
An Zheng: “How can I kill that monster?”
Cat replied seriously, “I don’t know.”
It glanced at An Zheng: “I’m not here to deal with that death worm, I’m here to see the Prefecture Lord of the Eighteen Underworld. These people are great, and they are very valuable. ”
After it finished speaking, it raised its head and meowed, and the dark monastic robe flew out and circled around. With a ‘kacha kacha’ sound, the eighteen corpses that were casted into the wall all moved. However, their movements looked extremely strange, as if they were rubbing against the wall to stop themselves from moving. Such a scene was indescribably creepy.
Soon after, two balls of golden light flew out from the eyes of every dead person, like golden lotus in full bloom. The cat opened its mouth and sucked. The golden petals flew into its mouth.
“So sleepy.”
good old man climbed down from An Zheng’s shoulder, An Zheng thought to himself, what the hell is this … I can’t count on it.
He wanted to take good old man back into the Blood Pearl Bracelet, but good old man shook his head, “Endure it for a while before you sleep. If we don’t kill that guy, the entire world will be destroyed. I am a cat with a great dream, and I want to bero of the world. ”
It mewled, and the dark monastic robe rushed forward.
An Zheng: “What are you doing?”
The good old man said: “To lure the enemy, the Hell’s Power on this dark black monastic robe is very strong. Swallowing the black monastic robe is more effective than eating a million alive people. Follow it and it will come out on its own. ”
An Zheng said: “Even if it comes out by itself, I might not be able to kill it here. It would be best to lure it outside, tlace with sunlight. It’s dark and stinky here, its lair. Furthermore, it has such a powerful aura of hell, much more powerful than outside. ”
“It’s not that troublesome.”
The good old man waved his little claws: “I told you, these eighteen Underworld Prefecture Lord s are very powerful.”
Just as he finished his sentence, a violent vibration came from the front, as if there was something huge digging into the ground. An Zheng and Qu Liuxi looked at each other, and Qu Liuxi said in a low voice: “I’ll think of a way to refine it in the pill furnace, and leave it to me.”
After she finished speaking, she was the first to rush over, with An Zheng following closely behind.
But good old man jumped down from An Zheng’s shoulder, like a general patrolling his own army.
“I have never really returned anything back to you guys, so this time it should be me. “You guys hold on to that guy, I’ll use my ultimate move.”
At the same time, the death worm had already rushed over from afar while roaring. When it saw the dark black cassock floating in the air, its eyes all lit up.
Qu Liuxi took a deep breath and summoned her Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace: “I’ll go up first!”
He was extremely determined.
