Chapter 2217 - 2214: The Crimson Lord

Accompanied by a flash of mysterious light.

Beneath that ancient altar, an aura of terrifying fear emerged.

In an instant.

It was as if the entire Curse Abyss was completely shrouded by this horrifying aura.

It sent shivers down the spine.

But Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng appeared remarkably calm upon seeing that scene, as if they were used to it.

Soon after.

A figure, majestic as a mountain, stood up.

It was clad in a suit of scarlet armor, its head also covered by a scarlet helmet.

Upon revealing itself, a pair of scarlet eyes peered coldly at Ye Xuan and Qi Changsheng through the helmet’s crevices.

"We meet again."

The burly creature spoke slowly, its voice hoarse: "Have you seen the King of Dou Tian?"

Last time, it entrusted a piece of jade to Ye Xuan, hoping Ye Xuan would get a chance to see the King of Dou Tian.

Now that Ye Xuan reappeared, naturally it would think Ye Xuan had met the King of Dou Tian.

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "I haven’t seen the King of Dou Tian, but I’ve obtained an even bigger revelation."

"What revelation?"

The burly creature’s scarlet eyes emitted two beams of brilliance.

Ye Xuan spoke slowly and deliberately, "The Dou Tian Divine Domain is about to return."

Upon hearing this.

The burly creature’s scarlet eyes instantly sparkled with astonishing brilliance: "Finally... it’s coming!"

It was clear that this fellow was extremely excited.

The burly creature stared at Ye Xuan and asked in a firm voice, "Do you know precisely when?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly: "I haven’t met the King of Dou Tian, so naturally I don’t know."

The burly creature didn’t seem to mind, and then asked, "By the way, where’s the Nine Netherworld Phoenix? Why didn’t it come?"

Ye Xuan casually replied, "It’s laying out schemes outside."

"I see." The burly creature nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Then why have you come here this time? Is there something to discuss?"

Ye Xuan looked at the burly creature and said seriously, "As I said, I haven’t met the King of Dou Tian, so I’m unaware of many details. When you stayed in this world, did you receive any messages?"

The burly creature was momentarily stunned: "You don’t know?"

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "I fell into an early sleep after that war, leaving many things unknown."

Ye Xuan was naturally lying with this remark.

It was just to fish for information from this burly creature.

The burly creature had previous dealings with Ye Xuan, considering Ye Xuan as one of its own. Although it didn’t know Ye Xuan’s true identity, it held trust in Ye Xuan.

When the burly creature heard Ye Xuan’s words, it had no intention of hiding anything and said, "Before the end of that war, supreme beings in the Dou Tian Divine Domain had already predicted the outcome, knowing that the war was not the final conclusion. Thus, they instructed those involved to spare no effort in preserving their lives. Survive first and await the next move of the Dou Tian Divine Domain."

"The information I received was just that. As for more, I’m unaware."

"Oh yes."

The burly creature seemed to remember something and said, "In this realm, we have people who can help at that time."

"The method of identification is through Origin Power."

Upon hearing this news, waves stirred in Ye Xuan’s heart.

This aligned with his previous assessment.

Including the Origin Power he observed in the Mountain God.

Additionally...

Old Mountain, this fellow.

Uncertain if it’s a traitor.

Ye Xuan harbored suspicion toward it.

This suggests examining the City God Temple.

The Netherworld side should have no issues.

After all, the Beiyin Fengdu Emperor revived, able to self-check the Netherworld.

But on the Underworld side, it’s uncertain.

The All Heavens City God Temple revived not long ago, many ancient city gods are still asleep, and no one knows the state in which they awaken.

He can appoint All Heavens City Gods, but hasn’t secured the All Heavens City Gods register yet, making judgement difficult.

Looks like a visit to the Underworld is necessary.

"By the way Emperor Ye, is there an opportunity to leave this place this time?"

The burly creature asked further.

In its eyes, there was a longing.

A longing for freedom.

It had been trapped here for far too long.

It had been ages since it last savored the scent of freedom.

This was also why it became so excited hearing Ye Xuan’s news.

The arrival of the Dou Tian Divine Domain meant more chances for it to escape.

To break free from suppression!

"Wait, the time isn’t ripe yet."

Ye Xuan shook his head and said.

The burly creature’s eyes dimmed, open-mouthed, asking: "What’s next on your agenda?"

Ye Xuan pointed to the ground.

The burly creature was puzzled.

Ye Xuan smirked: "Going to talk with the Sovereign of this place."

The burly creature was alarmed: "Are you certain?"

Ye Xuan chuckled: "Afraid of him?"

The burly creature paused before saying, "... He’s horrifically powerful."

Ye Xuan replied, "I’m not going there to fight."

The burly creature nodded slightly and said, "Be careful yourself, I await your good news."

With that, the burly creature slowly faded from sight.

The ancient altar returned to normal.

Ye Xuan watched the burly creature depart.

The Scarlet Lord.

He knew the true name of this person.

"Little Changsheng, keep an eye on him."

Ye Xuan spoke softly.

"Following the command of the leader."

Qi Changsheng obediently complied.

Ye Xuan left the place and continued diving deeper into the Curse Abyss.

Before, Ye Xuan believed the deepest part of the Curse Abyss was here.

Now, it seems not.

There’s a deeper area.

And the Master of the Netherworld resides there.

Perhaps along with the one the Master of Netherworld suppresses.

This is what Ye Xuan wants to see.

As Ye Xuan delved beneath the Curse Abyss, countless curse runes surged overwhelmingly.

Ye Xuan raised his primordial Hongmeng Dao Pattern, protected by Immortal Profound Power, perfectly blocking the curse runes’ invasion.

However, as he continued deeper, curse runes grew more numerous, obscuring the path forward.

Ye Xuan employed some means to dispel the curse runes and continued to dive.

He dove billions of meters before sensing a change.

The curse runes below were clearly different, the Curse Power on them was more than ten thousand times greater than those before!

Below, it seemed there was the source of the curse.

Ye Xuan plunged headlong into it.

Around him, endless curse runes surged again.

Ye Xuan activated his Taoist Body and suppressed them all.

Below appeared an ancient path.

Old and mottled.

Filled with an aura of death.

As if leading to the Hell Netherworld.

Ye Xuan stepped onto this ancient path and advanced continuously.

Buzz————

When halfway through, an ominous aura enveloped.

In the next moment.

All the endless curse runes vanished.

Replaced by a deep, silent dark world.

And at the center of this world, a colossal presence emerged...
