Chapter 377: The Nine Nether Underground Palace
This was a life-or-death gamble.
"No, don’t, please don’t!"
Everyone in the command center shook their heads, watching the scene unfold.
But only...
Chu Renyun remained unmoved, watching everything calmly.
As if this was the outco he had always wanted.
As if this was Chu ngling’s ultimate fate.
Yet, in this critical mont.
A streak of blood-red light flashed across the dark sky.
It seed to split the sky itself.
The next mont, a figure riding a giant black scorpion appeared in mid-air.
With a wave of his hand, three streaks of blood-red light flew out.
The giant sharks summoned by the saber-toothed shark instantly dissipated, turning into a downpour.
Taking a closer look, this person...
Turned out to be Blade, the forr top-ranked fighter.
Everyone watching the battle through their universal watches couldn’t help but recall the fight at Jiangnan Arena.
In that fight, Blade had challenged Xiao Feng.
But he was utterly defeated by Xiao Feng.
If Xiao Feng hadn’t shown rcy, Blade would have been killed.
Since that fight, Blade had vanished without a trace.
Oddly, his na was even removed from the rankings.
Now, in this critical mont, he had reappeared.
Moreover, he had saved Chu ngling from peril.
However, the crisis wasn’t over yet.
The saber-toothed shark lunged to bite.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu ngling hurled the black hole.
The enormous black hole engulfed the saber-toothed shark.
Slowly, the black hole dissipated.
The saber-toothed shark was torn to pieces by the spatial storm within the black hole.
With the black hole gone, the rain ceased.
Seeing the saber-toothed shark slain, the sea beasts imdiately retreated.
The cloudy sky parted, a ray of sunlight piercing through the darkness, casting light over the ocean.
Chu ngling exhaled deeply and then approached Blade.
"Thank you for your help!"
Chu ngling expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Just fulfilling a request, no need for thanks."
Blade replied and turned to leave.
"A request?"
Chu ngling’s brow furrowed.
"From whom?"
But Blade remained silent, continuing to walk away.
"Blade!"
Chu ngling called out loudly.
"With your strength, why not step forward?"
Blade paused but did not respond.
"In the country’s ti of crisis, did you not think of standing up?"
"Are you trying to coerce ? Or are you standing on a moral high ground to judge ?"
Blade turned back, sneering.
"The person you once abandoned without rcy—now you have the audacity to demand things from us ordinary people?"
"The person from before?"
Chu ngling murmured, rembering that individual from the past.
So much ti had passed.
The so-called Earth Demon Tribe had not yet attacked.
When Xiao Feng left, he claid that the energy transmitter was a device of the Earth Demon Tribe.
But what now?
The nation still relied on this device to create masters in the profound realm.
They were like addicts, fearful yet unable to part with it.
Upon hearing this, Chu ngling lowered her head.
She no longer tried to persuade Blade.
Because Blade was right.
Everyone was now afraid—afraid that those who fought for them would et a bad end.
With the crisis in the Bohai Sea averted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But at that mont, deep beneath the sea, at a depth of twenty thousand ters...
There stood an underground palace.
This palace was chained to eighteen thick iron pillars.
If Xiao Feng were here, he would be astonished to see this.
These eighteen pillars and the chains were inscribed with the sa strange runes discovered on Demon Island.
In the dark underground palace.
A huge plaque hung above the palace entrance.
It bore the eerie inscription of two characters: "Nine Hells."
The Nine Hells Palace was pitch black.
Occasionally, a green glow, resembling ghostly fire, could be seen.
At this mont, deep within the palace, a mysterious figure in a black robe stood respectfully before a throne made of bones.
The bone throne was empty.
But a hoarse, eerie voice echoed.
"Is the seal on Demon Island still not broken?"
The black-robed figure shuddered, then replied respectfully, "Almost."
"The Nine Hells seal can only be broken by the power of the Demon Tribe, so we must wait for their arrival."
A sigh ca from the bone throne.
"Even now, various countries continue to use the energy transmitters. It seems they have beco completely dependent on them!"
The black-robed figure smiled smugly.
"All the better. Firstly, it allows the Demon Tribe to pinpoint their location, and secondly, when the Demon Tribe arrives, those who have absorbed their energy will instantly turn and join them!"
The bone throne burst into laughter.
"But..."
The black-robed figure hesitated.
"If the Demon Tribe invades en masse, won’t we also beco victims?"
"Don’t worry. Over the millennia, I have mastered the Demon Transformation Technique. When the Demon Tribe arrives, I will directly turn them into our slaves!"
"Mighty Lord Nine Hells!"
The black-robed figure imdiately flattered.
"By the way, accelerate the sea beasts’ invasion of the land. Let the blood cover the earth to attract the Demon Tribe more, helping to break their seal faster!"
"Yes!"
"Oh, and did you take the Demon Suppressing Stone from Demon Island?"
"Yes!"
The black-robed man spoke as he took out a golden brick.
"Keep this safe. This object is lethal to the Demon Tribe. With it, and my Demon Transformation Technique, we can subdue the Demon Tribe soon!"
"Yes!"
...
...
anwhile, the Star Abyss Mountains seed isolated from the outside world.
The exotic beasts in the inn were enjoying themselves, seemingly oblivious to the dangers in the outside world.
"Enjoy your food and drinks!" Xiao Feng called out to all the guests as he descended from upstairs.
Since he slew the Ice Spirit Python, Xiao Feng had made a na for himself in the Star Abyss Mountains.
No beast tribes dared to cause trouble anymore.
Even if there were conflicts, they would co directly to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng’s role as a diator was becoming increasingly important.
At the sa ti, his reputation among the exotic beasts was growing.
As for the current task, Xiao Feng had already deciphered it.
However, unlike the Transformation Grass, it couldn’t directly enable a beast to transform upon consumption.
Instead, it required treatnt over ti.
Furthermore, it only increased the likelihood of successful transformation.
This research was the limit of what Xiao Feng could achieve.
