Eternal Sacred King Chapter 2716: World Passageways

2716 World Pa.s.sageways

The three of them quickly arrived beside the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs.

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked at the spring water that surged slowly in the middle of the pool with a deep gaze.

h.e.l.l Lord Bitter Springs persuaded, “Master, the power of the Bitter Springs is extraordinary. Not only can it suppress the Ghost race, it’s also extremely lethal to ordinary living beings.”

If this was the case for the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs, it would be even worse at the legendary Nether River that was the end of the Bitter Springs!

But now, if he wanted to return to the medium chiliocosm, he had no choice but to take the risk.

Furthermore, the Martial Dao Prime Body was rather interested in the Nether River. If he was not wrong, the reason why the living beings of the h.e.l.l World were called the Nether race might be related to the Nether River.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go down and investigate.”

After saying that, the Martial Dao Prime Body leaped into the source of the Bitter Springs. His body sank and he vanished.

“Hehe!”

The Void Yaksha let out a strange laugh and muttered, “This person actually dared to go down. I’m afraid he won’t be able to return after this.”

h.e.l.l Lord Bitter Springs was silent as he stood by the spring and waited quietly.

After the Martial Dao Prime Body entered the source of the Bitter Springs, not only did he have to resist the impact of the spring water, he also had to resist the strange power contained in the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs.

The Martial Dao Prime Body channeled his blood qi and the sound of a tsunami rumbled from his body, causing him to sink continuously.

The spring water surged upwards and it was equivalent to the Martial Dao Prime Body going against the currents. As he went deeper, the resistance of the spring water and the surrounding pressure, including the strange power in the Nine Springs of h.e.l.l, intensified!

The Martial Dao Prime Body stabilized his body and the Bitter Springs Section of the Nine Springs h.e.l.l Sutra flashed through his mind.

He had only read that section of the sutra once.

However, he had long comprehended the general section of the Nine Springs h.e.l.l Sutra. Therefore, there were not many obstacles to comprehending the Bitter Springs Section and it could be said that everything was smooth sailing.

He was surrounded by the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs. When he comprehended the power of the Bitter Springs according to the Bitter Springs Section, everything became much easier.

Before long, as the Martial Dao Prime Body comprehended the Bitter Springs Section continuously, the obstruction of the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs towards him decreased as well.

The Martial Dao Prime Body continued to sink.

Even in the depths of the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs, his eyes were still burning with two purple flames that reflected everything around him to maintain his vision.

There was no direction in the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs at all.

The Martial Dao Prime Body merely followed the direction of the spring water and moved against the current continuously, sinking and advancing at times.

After an unknown period of time, the vision of the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly cleared up and he saw an extremely shocking scene!

At the end of his vision, eight different rivers vaguely appeared. Like a galaxy that filled the sky, they crossed the endless void and flowed slowly, emitting a completely different aura!

The source of the eight rivers led to another dark and endless river.

Including the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs that the Martial Dao Prime Body was in, there were a total of nine springs!

In other words, the dark and gloomy river ahead was the legendary Nether River!

Before he approached the Nether River, the Martial Dao Prime Body felt a tremendous pressure just by looking at the dark river in the distance!

It was as though every single drop of water in the Nether River contained supreme might that could destroy the world and shatter the firmaments!

The Martial Dao Prime Body continued to travel against the current.

As he approached the Nether River, the pressure ahead increased!

Finally, the Martial Dao Prime Body arrived at the end of the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs and stopped.

As long as he took another half-step forward, he would be able to enter the Nether River!

The Martial Dao Prime Body stood in front of the Nether River and felt extremely tiny. His strength seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow from the Nether River!

Even when he faced the Builder Tree back then, he had never felt such a feeling.

The Martial Dao Prime Body hesitated for a moment before charging into the Nether River!

The Nether River was bone-chilling.

Compared to it, the power of the Nine Springs of h.e.l.l was like mud.

The Martial Dao Prime Body forcefully channeled the Martial Dao Purgatory to defend against the power of the Nether River. However, the water of the Nether River surged continuously and the Martial Dao Purgatory swayed!

He wanted to swim upwards and break through the surface of the Nether River to arrive above it.

However, it was as though countless gigantic hands were pulling his body from within the Nether River, causing him to sink continuously!

It was already extremely fortunate that he could maintain his figure in the Nether River and not sink to the bottom, let alone break through the water.

Most importantly, the water of the Nether River was forceful and pushed him downstream.

According to the Void Yaksha, he followed the flow of the Nether River’s current and arrived at the Nine Springs of h.e.l.l.

If he wanted to head to the Ghost World, he had to go against the flow of the Nether River.

Given his current strength, he could not do it at all!

The Martial Dao Prime Body did not stay in the Nether River for long before retreating hurriedly and returning to the Nine Springs of h.e.l.l.

“No.”

If the Martial Dao Prime Body allowed the Nether River to control the direction, he would not know where he would end up going.

Furthermore, given his current physique, bloodline and cultivation realm, he could not last long in the Nether River.

After pondering for a moment, the Martial Dao Prime Body could only return the way he came.

This time round, he flowed down the h.e.l.l Bitter Springs at a much faster speed. Before long, he arrived at the source of the Bitter Springs.

The Martial Dao Prime Body broke out of the water and returned to the Bitter Springs Palace, panting slightly.

“Oh?”

A look of surprise flashed through the Void Yaksha’s eyes when he saw that the Martial Dao Prime Body had returned alive.

He could smell the unique aura of the Nether River from the Martial Dao Prime Body.

In other words, this person had really entered the Nether River before.

“This method won’t work.”

The Martial Dao Prime Body stared at the Void Yaksha and said slowly.

The Void Yaksha grinned and shrugged.

Pausing for a moment, the Void Yaksha’s bulging eyes darted around. Suddenly, he said, “There’s another way to head to the Ghost World through the Netherworld.”

“Enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation through the Netherworld?”

The Martial Dao Prime Body’s heart skipped a beat as he asked.

The Void Yaksha nodded.

Back then, Consort Yu had mentioned something about the Netherworld to him.

According to Consort Yu, the Netherworld was independent of the Six Paths but connected to them.

After all living beings died, their souls would enter the Netherworld and enter the Six Paths to reincarnate.

The Martial Dao Prime Body asked again, “How do I head to the Netherworld?”

The souls in the Netherworld could enter the h.e.l.l World, one of the Six Paths.

However, the living beings of the h.e.l.l World could not enter the Netherworld in reverse.

Unless one possessed the power of a Great Emperor like the Lord of h.e.l.l and could disregard the laws to break through the barrier between two worlds at will.

The Void Yaksha said, “From what I know, there are some connections and pa.s.sageways between the h.e.l.l World and the Netherworld.”

“Hmm?”

The gaze of the Martial Dao Prime Body s.h.i.+fted to h.e.l.l Lord Bitter Springs at the side.

h.e.l.l Lord Bitter Springs had not mentioned this to him.

h.e.l.l Lord Bitter Springs explained hurriedly, “Master, there are indeed two pa.s.sageways connecting the Netherworld and the h.e.l.l World. However, there are still law barriers at the connection points. Even I can’t break them.”
