Chapter 2220 Raw 2326 : Underworld G.o.d Protectors

“Underworld G.o.d Protectors?”

Lin Feng saw Chu Chaoyun and Xiao Chen’s confusion, so he gave a simple explanation. “The Underworld G.o.d is like a religion, the supreme being that all nine layers of the Abyssal Underworld believe in and wors.h.i.+p. The Underworld G.o.d Protectors are seen as G.o.d-like existences in the Abyssal Underworld. They are thought to be the personal guards of the Underworld G.o.d and are horrifyingly strong. They are at least 4-Vein Sovereign Emperors.”

Chu Chaoyun looked pensive. “Is it because eighteen Underworld G.o.d Guards died?”

Lin Feng nodded. “Yes, the deaths of so many Underworld G.o.d Guards will definitely shake up the entire Underworld G.o.d Hall. Under such circ.u.mstances, the Vice Hall Master will order the Underworld G.o.d Protectors to deal with this. Now, the situation in the Final Blood Battlefield is as good as controlled by the Vice Hall Master.”

Xiao Chen said, “It should not happen so quickly.”

Lin Feng countered with a grave expression, “As long as Yan Cangming sends word and the Underworld G.o.d Hall acknowledges it, the Underworld G.o.d Hall will need only two hours to get to the Final Blood Battlefield.”

Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

“The sky of the ninth layer of the Abyssal Underworld is filled with Dao Platforms that the Underworld G.o.d Hall placed. Forbidden lands like the Final Blood Battlefield are no exception. Hence, we can only leave the Final Blood Battlefield quickly, using the time it takes for Yan Cangming to report back and the Underworld G.o.d Hall to acknowledge the information.”

Lin Feng sighed softly and added, “I only hope that the Underworld G.o.d Hall will take their time acknowledging the information. I took a look earlier. Right now, the Final Blood Battlefield is sealed off. People can only enter but not exit. Those who want to leave have to undergo strict checks. It is practically impossible to leave silently.”

Chu Chaoyun said, “There is no time to lose. Let’s kill our way out. There is no need to overthink. Every minute longer we remain in the Final Blood Battlefield is an extra minute of danger.”

Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun had already completed their missions, found what they needed to take away.

With nothing to keep them in the Final Blood Battlefield, what they had to do was leave as quickly as possible.

“Let’s go!”

These three were decisive people. After they verified the information, they did not hesitate to head straight for the Final Blood Battlefield’s borders.

“Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+”

Not long after the three started moving, they saw three people dressed in the Underworld G.o.d Guard’s uniform rus.h.i.+ng towards them in the sky.

These Underworld G.o.d Guards were very cautious, stopping far away. Then, they shouted, “Halt! The Final Blood Battlefield is sealed. If you want to leave, you need to prove your ident.i.ty first.”

Xiao Chen released the Demonic Dao’s baleful aura from his body as he shouted back, “This friend, we are just a group of loose cultivators and have no way to verify our ident.i.ty. These Underworld G.o.d Guard Lords, might we know what is going on? Would you care to tell us about it?”

Upon seeing Xiao Chen’s Demonic Dao baleful aura, the three Underworld G.o.d Guards relaxed slightly. However, they still said unreasonably, “Since you cannot verify your ident.i.ty, then please remain in the Final Blood Battlefield. The Underworld G.o.d Hall will not kill the innocent.”

The three exchanged glances and frowned slightly. These Underworld G.o.d Guards seemed to have received some information, hence were acting very cautiously, not daring to get close to the three, and only shouting from afar.

If the three made any strange movements, these Underworld G.o.d Guards would immediately be alerted and call for reinforcements.

When Xiao Chen saw this situation, he whispered, “My G.o.d Shadow Bow can instantly kill one person.”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment before saying, “The distance is too far. If I use the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant, I can only guarantee severely injuring one person. I might not even be able to kill that person.”

Chu Chaoyun shook his head and said, “That won’t do. As long as one person survives, the Underworld G.o.d Guards elsewhere might rush over to block us. Then, it would be problematic.”

“What should we do?”

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly as he said, “Lure them over.”

Right after Chu Chaoyun said that, he shouted, “The three Lords, they do not have any verifiable ident.i.ty, but I have the ident.i.ty token of the Moon Demon Hall, a Rank 7 Demonic Dao sect. Will you verify that?”

Amid the demonic fog, three blurry figures extremely far away discussed in hushed voices.

After a while, the three blurry figures came closer, slowly becoming more distinct to Xiao Chen, Chu Chaoyun, and Lin Feng.

However, as the three Underworld G.o.d Guards got near, they stopped. The leading Underworld G.o.d Guard said indifferently, “Remove the conical bamboo hat on your head and let me verify your ident.i.ty token. After that, we will let you go.”

Chu Chaoyun did not say anything. He only tossed over a jade bottle, which the Underworld G.o.d Guard in the middle caught. That Underworld G.o.d Guard frowned slightly and opened it to find that it was Origin Liquid.

“Origin Liquid? What is the meaning of this?!”

“Boom!”

All that replied to that Underworld G.o.d Guard was the three launching their prepared attacks, each a peak strike.

Xiao Chen flicked his finger and executed the Fiendish Saber inheritance’s Water Droplet Destroying the Firmament.

One raindrop, containing all of Xiao Chen’s comprehension of the Fiendish Saber, immediately struck the Underworld G.o.d Guard leader.

Chu Chaoyun’s sword appeared as fleeting light and shadows, moving shockingly fast before piercing into the forehead of the person on the left.

Lin Feng thrust his hand forward. His Death Dao Domain coalesced into a beam of black light, instantly piercing the chest of the person on the right.

Then, Xiao Chen and the others ignored the three. Their figures flashed as they quickly moved far away.

“Pu ci!”

After suddenly sustaining severe injuries, the three Underworld G.o.d Guards entered a critical condition before they could send word out. They had to focus on saving themselves, unable to care about Xiao Chen and the others.

One hour later, Xiao Chen, Chu Chaoyun, and Lin Feng successfully left the Final Blood Battlefield. When they turned their heads back to look at the Final Blood Battlefield, they released their bated breath.

Lin Feng said, “Those three probably won’t die. However, they will be in critical states and won’t be able to report for a while. We should take this opportunity to go as far as possible.”

“Right.”

The three disguised themselves and suppressed their cultivations. Then, they traveled through the Abyssal Underworld cities, heading for the crack leading to the Central Great Realm.

In the meantime, the three found every city they went to jittery and tightly guarded.

Underworld G.o.d Guards could be found practically everywhere. Usually, Underworld G.o.d Guards would not appear before ordinary cultivators. Given that they appeared in such numbers, clearly something major had happened.

Within a few days, information from the Final Blood Battlefield spread throughout the Abyssal Underworld.

Now, all the Abyssal Underworld cultivators knew that a Heavenly Alliance Sovereign Emperor called Xiao Chen had knocked back ten-odd Sovereign Emperors from both righteous and demonic factions, obtaining the ancient Demonic Sovereign’s divine nature flame. This feat greatly boosted his fame.

Rumors also said that the deaths of the eighteen Underworld G.o.d Guards were related to him. Now, the entire Underworld G.o.d Hall was frantically searching for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen’s group carefully traveled incognito, arriving at the sh.o.r.es of the Underworld River.

The group would no longer be in danger after crossing this river. In less than a day, they could leave the ninth layer of the Abyssal Underworld.

At that time, they would be like birds in the sky or fish in the sea.

Even if the Underworld G.o.d Hall’s people giving chase were 9-Vein Sovereign Emperors, they could not do anything about Xiao Chen’s group. The Heavenly Alliance and the Universe Origin Sect could send experts to reinforce the three at any time.

Xiao Chen and the others were unaccustomed to hiding for so many days. They were bona fide Sovereign Emperors, people who could be considered peak experts anywhere.

To think that they were in such miserable states, not even daring to show their cultivation.

However, they were in the Underworld G.o.d Hall’s territory. No matter how sullen they were, they had to endure it.

Xiao Chen’s group mixed in the crowd as they looked at the gus.h.i.+ng waters of the endless Underworld River, patiently waiting for the underworld boat to arrive.

One could not fly across the Underworld River. Even a Sovereign Emperor had to ride an underworld boat obediently.

“It’s coming!” Lin Feng said in a low voice. Xiao Chen looked up and saw an underworld boat arriving stably amid the ferociously gus.h.i.+ng scarlet waters.

When the underworld boat arrived at the sh.o.r.e, the three boarded with the rest of the crowd.

After boarding the boat, the three relaxed significantly. As the ninth layer of the Abyssal Underworld slowly dwindled into the distance, the three felt very gratified.

Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun only understood the trouble that came with killing nearly twenty Underworld G.o.d Guards after leaving the Final Blood Battlefield.

They felt like the Underworld G.o.d Guards were everywhere. No matter where they went, there would be Underworld G.o.d Guard experts searching the place.

The three could feel danger hovering over them at every moment. They did not dare to be careless.

Even when meditating and cultivating, the three took turns, making sure at least one person remained fully alert and in a combat-ready state.

Their hearts remained tense, not relaxing at all.

Now that the three were on the underworld boat and slowly leaving the ninth layer of the Abyssal Underworld, they finally could relax slightly.

“Strange, why does everyone on this boat feel weird?”

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the cultivators on the boat. There were Yaksha cultivators, Rakshasa cultivators, Asura cultivators, and even Demonic Dao cultivators. Everyone gathered in groups of twos or threes, chatting in soft voices.

It seemed very ordinary, but it felt strange to look at.

Chu Chaoyun frowned slightly. “Something is wrong… These people seem to be looking at us.”

That’s right!

Xiao Chen and Lin Feng suddenly startled awake. They were shocked to discover that all these people speaking, resting with closed eyes, or with backs facing them seemed to have one eye fixed on them.

This group of people clearly appeared normal. However, it felt like they all had an eye growing in the back of their heads.

As the three thought this, they could not help feeling a chill. The more they thought about it, the stranger it felt.

“Don’t panic,” Xiao Chen soothed Lin Feng, who seemed like he wanted to make a move. Then, Xiao Chen walked over to a Rakshasa cultivator and probed, “This friend, I have a question I would like to ask.”

“Haha! What would you like to ask? Whether I have an eye in the back of my head? You don’t have to ask; I can tell you. There is.”

That person chuckled, and a vertical eye suddenly opened in the back of his head the moment he spoke.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

At the same time, a vertical eye opened in the back of the heads of all the others on the boat.

The originally noisy underworld boat immediately fell strangely quiet. Aside from Xiao Chen, everyone else remained still. The vertical eyes in the back of the others’ heads looked at Xiao Chen and his group strangely as if they were smiling.

“Die!”

Lin Feng, who was at the side, could no longer hold back. He directly attacked and landed a palm strike on the Rakshasa cultivator that Xiao Chen spoke to.

“Boom!”

That Rakshasa cultivator suddenly exploded. Then, he turned into shadows and vanished. In the next moment, the surroundings change. The three appeared in a desolate plain.

An invisible suction came from under them, constraining their movements.

“An illusion!”

Chu Chaoyun’s expression changed slightly. He said gravely, “We entered someone’s Illusion Dao Domain.”

“The Underworld G.o.d Protectors! There is a 4-Vein Sovereign Emperor skilled at illusions among them. They still managed to catch up to us,” Lin Feng said helplessly. He cursed under his breath as he observed his surroundings.

The desolate plain appeared endless, the sky dark and horrifyingly sinister. At this moment, not to mention being unable to move, the three would not dare to move rashly even if they could.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. The desolate plain before him seemed somewhat different from the one Lin Feng and Chu Chaoyun saw.

To Lin Feng and Chu Chaoyun, the desolate plain was a true desolate plain. It was perfect and flawless, not showing any gaps.

However, the desolate plain seemed somewhat unrealistic to Xiao Chen’s eyes. The ground occasionally shook. Black tears continuously flickered all over the place.

Naturally, the reason was Xiao Chen’s Soul Energy, which rivaled a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor’s. That Underworld G.o.d Protector underestimated Xiao Chen’s Soul Energy.

“Whoos.h.!.+”

When the faint black tears reappeared, Xiao Chen suddenly appeared, and the three Divine Vein rings around the Azure Dragon Divine Seal in his Soul Pool spread out like ripples.

His Azure Dragon Divine Seal shot out a beam of light made of Soul Energy from his forehead in the next moment. This beam struck the black tear.

“Bang!” The illusion shattered like a mirror, and the three returned to reality.

The three suddenly discovered the underworld boat sinking into the river. Ghostly hands came out of the river and firmly grabbed their feet.

Chu Chaoyun and Lin Feng sharply inhaled cold air. If Xiao Chen had not broken the illusion, they would have been pulled into the underworld river, unable to awaken.
