#461 - The bottom of the underworld, the demon

Xiao Yuan's footsteps finally stopped beside the Nine Netherworld. He squatted down and touched his palm into the lake water. Suddenly, a hissing sound was heard, and a deep yellow ice crystal quickly climbed up along his arm.

"It's really amazing. No wonder even the teacher said he couldn't get to the bottom of the underworld."

Seeing that the cold and gloomy power in the Nine Netherworld was so terrifying, Xiao Yuan was slightly startled. The strange fire in his body began to circulate and finally seeped out, quickly melting the ice layers.

"Cai Lin, I will first enter the bottom of Huangquan to obtain Huangquan Blood Crystal. After I succeed, you can enter Huangquan and I will help you protect the law."

Xiao Yuan shook his hands, turned his head, and said to Cai Lin who was walking beside him, that among the few people here, only he and Cai Lin could get close to Huang Quan. He could do so because of his strength and the strange fire, while Cai Lin could do so because of his physique.

"Well, be careful. If it doesn't work, just go back."

Cai Lin nodded slightly and said solemnly that the cold power of the Nine Netherworld was too terrifying. It was hard to imagine that there was such an extremely cold place in the world.

"When I enter the Netherworld, you should hide first to avoid being discovered."

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he condensed a soul barrier that enveloped the three women. Then, a rich strange fire quickly seeped out from countless pores on his body. When the terrifying high temperature came into contact with the cold air, it immediately erupted into an all-encompassing white mist.

“Plop!”

Summoning the strange fire, Xiao Yuan let out a light breath, moved his body, and directly crashed into the Nine Netherworld Yellow Spring, then rushed to the bottom of the Yellow Spring at lightning speed.

“Shhh!”

As Xiao Yuan jumped into the Nine Netherworld, a column of white smoke rose from the surface of the lake and gurgling bubbles kept appearing, which was obviously caused by the strange fire.

"laugh!"

In the turbid yellow lake water, a figure flashed by as fast as lightning, with flames surrounding its body. Every time it came into contact with the surrounding lake water, bursts of hissing sounds would erupt.

"It is worthy of being called the Nine Netherworld. The cold and gloomy power contained in it is so terrifying."

Xiao Yuan's figure flew quickly towards the bottom of the Yellow Spring. At the same time, a solemn expression gradually emerged on his face. The cold power contained in the Nine Nether Yellow Spring seemed to be able to freeze the fighting spirit. Even with the protection of the strange fire, Xiao Yuan still felt cold hands and feet, and the fighting spirit that was originally surging in his body also became a little sluggish.

"Looks like we have to speed up. We can't stay here for long!"

Using strange fire to resist the power of cold and yin consumes a lot of fighting spirit. However, Xiao Yuan's fighting spirit reserves are by no means comparable to those of an ordinary one-star Dou Sheng. But no matter what, this place is not a good feng shui place for him.

Xiao Yuan moved and his speed increased again. A deep water mark emerged from where he passed. After he passed, the lake water surged in and submerged the mark.

“Hiss!”

Just when Xiao Yuan was feeling overwhelmed by the difficulty of the Nine Netherworld, a subtle strange sound suddenly reached his ears, and he suddenly realized that the water flow behind him suddenly accelerated.

"Bang!"

When the water flow suddenly accelerated, Xiao Yuan also punched behind him fiercely. The terrible force directly passed through the water flow in a strange way, hit a black shadow hard, and then blasted it away alive.

"There are actually living creatures alive in this Netherworld."

Looking at the creature that was blasted into a ball of blood, a hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Yuan's eyes. The cold and gloomy power here was such that even the Nine Netherworld Python could not stay there for long, let alone survive forever.

“Hiss!”

Xiao Yuan blasted the black shadow with a punch. Before he could dive, he suddenly felt the water becoming turbulent. Immediately, within his field of vision, a thick black fog quickly spread over.

Xiao Yuan looked at the black fog, his expression changed slightly. Those were not the so-called "black fog", but were formed by countless strange snakes that were completely black and covered with strange scales. The shrill hissing sound was also made by these strange snakes.

"We can't get entangled with these weird things, otherwise it will consume too much fighting spirit."

Xiao Yuan moved and his speed suddenly increased, turning into a flash of lightning, tearing the lake water apart, and rushing towards the bottom of the Nine Netherworld as fast as thunder. At the same time, the soul power of the emperor realm burst out, directly destroying the souls of these strange snakes.

"laugh!"

Xiao Yuan exerted his speed to the extreme. Even when he was in deep water, his terrifying speed still created one afterimage after another in the middle of the water.

At the same time, around the afterimage, the strange snakes became stiff and stood still, and were then swept away by the water.

After passing the area where the strange snakes were concentrated in a massacre-like manner, Xiao Yuan glanced downward and found that at the end, there was a little light. He was immediately alert and sped up. After a while, he finally appeared at the place where the light appeared.

"Is this the bottom of the Nine Netherworld?"

What appeared in front of Xiao Yuan was an extremely large sandy and gravel ground, with countless fist-sized gravels scattered all over. These gravels emitted a bright light, and it was precisely because of this that this place seemed quite bright.

"The bottom of the Nine Netherworld should be connected to the deep underground. If I go deep into there, even my body will not be able to hold on and will turn into ice!"

Xiao Yuan glanced around, and the power of his soul surged out again, and he began to look for someone.

This Yellow Spring Blood Crystal had long been eaten by Yao Ming, the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who was locked at the bottom of the Yellow Spring.

After all, although ordinary humans cannot digest this thing, it is a great tonic for the Nine Nether Earth Python.

"Ah, help. me."

While searching, an extremely faint groaning sound came into his ears through the water.

At this time, Xiao Yuan had also noticed Yao Ming's location, and he immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed downwards fiercely.

“Crash!”

Xiao Yuan grabbed with his palm, leaving a palm print on the sandy ground. As the sand and stones rolled, a huge iron chain that was a hundred feet long suddenly appeared in Xiao Yuan's sight.

Seeing this extremely huge iron chain, Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and grabbed it in the air. The iron chain was slowly pulled out, and as the iron chain was pulled out, the rest of the ground suddenly shook, and three more huge iron chains rose from the mud. These iron chains were all connected to the huge mountains around them. Once they were pulled, they could not move at all.

Xiao Yuan's eyes did not care where the chains were locked. His eyes had already turned to the center of the four chains, where there was a large mass of dark mud.

Looking at the mass of mud, Xiao Yuan waved his hand casually, and the mud was shaken away. As the mud dispersed, the object inside was revealed, and it was a person!

A man who is as dry as a skeleton!

How pitiful, Yaoming.

"Save me, save me, save me, and I will make the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan serve you as their master!"

When Xiao Yuan was looking at the withered figure, the latter's sunken pupils suddenly opened, and he looked at the former with somewhat crazy eyes. A hoarse roar resounded from the bottom of the underworld, like a ghost howling, chilling people's hearts.

Although Xiao Yuan knew the whole story, he still chose to act in accordance with the current situation and said with some doubt:

"Who are you? Why are you trapped here?"

“Hoohoo.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The skeleton-like figure seemed to have consumed a lot of his strength in the previous struggle, and his breathing was a little rapid. Xiao Yuan could feel that extremely cold energy was constantly emitted from the four huge chains, consuming the fighting spirit in his body, making him always in an extremely weak state, but at the same time it would not harm his life. He could only survive in this permanent consumption.

"I am Yao Ming, the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan." Facing Xiao Yuan's question, the skeleton-like figure panted for a moment and finally spoke. His voice was extremely hoarse, like sand and stone rubbing against glass, extremely harsh.

"Save me! As long as you get me out of here, I will agree to whatever you want!"

Yao Ming stared at Xiao Yuan with an almost pleading look and said.

"The leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan?" Xiao Yuan frowned, but remained unmoved. He said calmly, "As far as I know, the leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan should be a guy named Yao Xiaotian, right?"

"That bastard, that son of a bitch, was the one who used a vicious scheme to seize my position and sealed me in the bottom of the underworld. Ah! This beast caused me to suffer from the cold power for hundreds of years. If I am lucky enough to see the light of day again in this life, I, Yao Ming, will make his life worse than death!"

When Yao Ming heard the three words "Yao Xiaotian", his eyes instantly turned blood red, and endless hatred emerged from his eyes. His crazy roar echoed endlessly at the bottom of the underworld.

Xiao Yuan was secretly amazed when he heard this. This guy was actually sealed here for hundreds of years. Such an end was indeed quite tragic. The cold power of the Nine Netherworld was like invading the human body, like a sharp blade, so painful that ordinary people could not bear it. And this guy in front of him had suffered such pain for hundreds of years. Even Xiao Yuan couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

"Can you tell me about the relationship between you and that demon Xiaotian?"

Xiao Yuan spread his hands and said.

"I am Yao Xiaotian's biological elder brother." Yao Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally said hoarsely, "Originally, I was the most orthodox candidate for the leader of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, and many elders in the clan also favored me. Originally, Yao Xiaotian would never be able to become the leader, and he knew this in his heart, so he usually behaved respectfully to me, but secretly, he was plotting a vicious plan. First, he poisoned me to greatly reduce my strength, and then he defeated me and sealed me at the bottom of the Nine Netherworld."

"You are really a brotherly and respectful couple. However, I don't need you, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, to serve me as your master. I just need you to do me a few small favors, such as letting my woman practice in the Nine Netherworld for a period of time. I think this kind of deal should be a good deal for you, right?"

Xiao Yuan asked.

"Okay, as long as you can rescue me, you can ask for anything you want!"

Xiao Yuan is now Yao Ming's last hope, so Yao Ming has no objection to Xiao Yuan's words at all.

"What is your current strength, and what is Yao Tianxiao's strength?"

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes and said.

"When I was sealed, I was only a mid-level half-saint. Although I have suffered countless pains during these hundreds of years of training with the power of the underworld, my strength has also increased. Now I have reached the level of a two-star Dou Sheng. As long as I can see the light of day again, the Dou Qi in my body can be quickly restored and reach its peak." Yao Ming said, "As for Yao Tianxiao, when I reached the level of a half-saint, he was only at the peak of Dou Zun. With his talent, he must have been able to reach the level of a one-star Dou Sheng after so many years. However, he has a confidant, who is the great elder of my Nine Nether Earth Python Clan. According to my guess, this person should now also have the strength of a top one-star Dou Sheng. Back then, this old dog also helped Yao Tianxiao to seriously injure me and seal me."

"Two one-star Dousheng?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan nodded. To him, a one-star Dou Sheng was just an ant that he could control.

"My biggest obstacle is these two. If I get rid of them, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will definitely be under my control. At that time, you, my friend, will be my savior. Although I, Yao Ming, am not a kind person who loves charity, my words are as good as gold. If I control the Nine Netherworld Python Clan in the future, I will do my best to fulfill any request you have."

The demon stared at Xiao Yuan with scorching eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Very good, it seems that our cooperation will be very pleasant. However, to be on the safe side, I will set a talisman for you first. If you dare to have other thoughts, your soul will be shattered immediately, and your body will decay and turn into a pile of dry bones."

After Xiao Yuan finished speaking, he didn't care whether Yao Ming was willing to accept such unequal conditions or not, and directly condensed a symbol of chaos color. The terrifying emperor soul, even if it only leaked a trace of breath, still made Yao Ming's face change suddenly.

This guy is so strong!

The next moment, Yao Ming discovered that the talisman appeared deep in his soul.

Such a horrifying method really shocked Yao Ming.

Although it was not a good feeling to be controlled by others, when he thought of the suffering he had endured for hundreds of years, the resentment in his heart surged. He no longer cared about these details and said in a deep voice: "Since the talisman has been planted, can you help me get out of this predicament?"

"By the way, I came to the Nine Netherworld because I need some Yellow Spring Blood Crystals. Do you know where that thing is?"

Xiao Yuan did not answer Yao Ming's question, but asked again.

"Yellow Spring Blood Crystal is very rare even in the Nine Netherworld. Generally speaking, it takes nearly a thousand years to condense a palm-sized piece. These things have been swallowed up by me in the past few hundred years."

Hearing this, the demon hesitated for a moment, then suddenly opened his mouth and rays of blood-red light flashed out, finally floating in front of Xiao Yuan. They were actually three blood-red crystal blocks about the size of a fist. Inside the crystal blocks, there seemed to be endless blood flowing, which looked extremely strange.

"Sorry, these three are relatively complete. I have basically digested the rest and they are of no use to me."

Yao Ming was afraid that Xiao Yuan would think it was too little, so he quickly explained. (End of this chapter)
