653 Nether Emperor's Humiliation
In a majestic palace in the Netherworld Realm.
Several wild auras swept over, each emitting a monstrous might. Their auras were shocking and sharp.
"Hahaha, when has my Netherworld Realm ever been so lively?"
"I'm afraid everyone is here for the matter of the Source Enlightening Sword Light!" In the palace, Nine Nether Lord had already sensed something and laughed loudly.
The people who came were the eight Lords of the other worlds. As for why they mobilized so many people, it was naturally related to the Source Enlightening Sword Light that Zhou Han had unintentionally released.
After all, the Source Enlightening Sword Light was an item that did not belong to this world. Be it sword cultivators or cultivators from other systems, they would obtain huge benefits after obtaining it.
He might even know more secrets outside the world.
Moreover, the location where the Source Enlightening Sword Light appeared was in the Infinite Nether River.
One had to know that this was a very sensitive place. The former ruler of the abyss, the Nether Emperor, was hiding there.
If the Nether Emperor obtained the Source Enlightening Sword Light, or if the Source Enlightening Sword Light belonged to the Nether Emperor, it would be a fatal threat to the Nine Lords.
Therefore, with many factors combined, this was also the reason why the Lords rushed over.
"Nine Nether, you're asking the obvious!"
"The Source Enlightening Sword Light has appeared in the Infinite Nether River. We have to treat it seriously. Otherwise, everyone knows the consequences!" Yellow Spring Lord was the first to speak after landing.
"Recently, the Nether Emperor's actions have become more and more frequent. A great war is about to break out, and the ancient abyss is probably going to fall into chaos again!"
"As long as the Nether Emperor is not eliminated, there will always be hidden dangers!"
"It's easy to say, but the Nether Emperor is a top-notch expert from the Ancient Chaos Era. Killing him is easier said than done."
"This is a serious matter, so everyone has to come up with a plan!"
…
The Lords all expressed their opinions. The Nether Emperor was giving them too much pressure. They had also experienced the power of the Nether Emperor in the past.
Therefore, this was also the reason why the Nine Nether Lord, who was closest to the Source Enlightening Sword Light, did not dare to enter the Infinite Nether River to check.
Was he not interested in the Source Enlightening Sword Light? Of course not. He was afraid of the Nether Emperor, so he did not dare to take a look.
After the discussion, the Lords all looked at the Heavenly Sword Lord standing in the middle—Jiang Yanran.
Her cold face was stunning. Although she was just a woman, she was not a vase.
Instead, he was the strongest among the Nine Lords and had a high right to speak.
Everyone was waiting for her opinion.
"No matter what, we have to enter the Infinite Nether River personally to investigate!"
"It's useless to keep running away. There will be a battle between us and the Nether Emperor! This is an irreconcilable feud!"
Heavenly Sword Lord Jiang Yanran pondered for a moment before looking up at the sky and making a decision.
…
In the Nether River, it was as fast as lightning. The violent power was unstoppable. One could only see Zhou Han's afterimage constantly shuttling.
Wherever it passed, all the abyssal creatures along the way were killed. None of them could withstand a single blow.
"There are many restrictions in the Nether River that prevent the Primordial Golden Roc from flying in it!"
"Otherwise, why would it take so much time!" Zhou Han complained as he hurried in the direction of the Nether River Crystal.
However, luckily, they were pushing all the way and did not waste much time.
About a thousand meters ahead, the water of the Nether River was exceptionally dark. It was like thick ink, emitting a strange power that swallowed all the light in the surroundings.
Zhou Han activated his Heavenly Eye and barely saw a huge vortex in the center of a vast black color.
The vortex crazily stirred, and a terrifying gravitational force continuously spread out, as if it wanted to devour the entire world.
Many abyssal creatures in the Nether River were also sucked into the vortex.
Zhou Han stopped a hundred meters away from the black vortex.
Suddenly, he focused his gaze. Under this terrifying suction, a huge ice octopus.
He was sucked into the vortex without any resistance.
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of strangulation came, accompanied by the cry of the Ice Octopus. It lasted for less than half a second before it was minced into pieces. It died very aggrievedly.
"The Nether Emperor's methods are indeed impressive!"
"Just this vortex alone is not simple! To think that even a Saint King with 60 Sovereign Golden Runes would not be able to withstand such a slaughter!"
Zhou Han narrowed his eyes in surprise.
It seemed that the defensive power of the Nether River Crystal was indeed extraordinary. Just this vortex alone had a shocking performance.
"According to the Ashen Illusory Beast's instructions, the Nether River Crystal is hidden under this black vortex!"
"Thus, this vortex should be similar to a defensive formation. It is used to prevent outsiders from entering."
Zhou Han analyzed in his heart. The importance of the Nether River Crystal to the Netherworld Race was self-evident, so it was normal to have such protective measures.
Since the Nether River Crystal was below, Zhou Han would definitely not give up easily.
Moreover, now that his physique was already the Glazed Golden Body, he had enough confidence.
In the end, after using the Heavenly Eye to investigate again, Zhou Han directly flew into the vortex.
Right where Zhou Han disappeared, beside the vortex, a pair of black eyes flashed and quickly returned to silence.
…
In the dark palace.
"Is there any news about that little fellow?" The Nether Emperor asked lazily as he lay in the rune pool.
"Your Majesty, as expected, nothing can be hidden from you!"
"The latest news is that the human brat has already entered the vortex array formation!"
"Looks like you're quite bold. You actually dare to have designs on the Nether River Crystal!" The guard said angrily.
"Heh! How can it be so easy to break through the array formation I set up myself?"
"Without Sovereign-grade strength, they can only be killed!"
"I'm afraid that little fellow is doomed now!" The Nether Emperor laughed impudently. There was absolute confidence on his face. This was the domineering aura of a peerless expert.
Although they were in the deepest part of the Nether River, this was the Nether Emperor's territory.
As long as a Sovereign-grade martial artist entered the Infinite Nether River, the Nether Emperor would be able to sense it immediately.
Until now, he had not sensed the aura of a Sovereign-grade.
Therefore, the Nether Emperor tacitly agreed that Zhou Han was not an emperor-level expert. If he entered the whirlpool array, he would definitely die.
However, the next second, the powerful Nether Emperor was slapped in the face.
"Report!"
"That human brat actually… actually passed through the vortex formation."
"Head towards the place where the Five Flying Generals are stationed!" Another guard's voice sounded like a slap.
