#401 - The Netherworld and the Wheel of Grinding
A random strike from the red-haired monster was terrifying!
Jun Wuxie didn't have time to think. He frantically contracted his blood energy sphere, placed Mu Xue'lan down, and pushed her towards Shangguan Wan'wan and Liliya, protecting them with the Solar True Lotus.
Rumble!
His blood energy boiled to the extreme. He pushed Mu Xue'lan and the others far away and soared into the sky, swinging his fist to bombard the claw!
"Wuxie!"
Shangguan Wan'wan screamed in fright.
The terrifying claw descended, and from a great distance away, Jun Wuxie's blood energy fist imprint instantly collapsed.
His body began to crack, blood flowing profusely, and he was almost crushed.
"Young Master Jun!"
"Jun Wuxie!"
Shangguan Wan'wan, Mu Xue'lan, and Liliya were almost in despair.
Just then, a black blade of light pierced through the endless sky, cutting the entire world in two. With a '噗' sound, it severed the claw at the wrist, and black blood splattered.
Awoo!
The red-haired monster let out a miserable cry of pain.
It suddenly turned around and was about to retaliate, but a vast black demonic aura instantly enveloped it, pressing it to its knees on the ground.
A black shadow flashed.
A person appeared above the red-haired monster.
Seeing this person, Jun Wuxie's eyelids twitched!
She was wearing black armor, with half of her body and half of her face gone, dripping with blood.
Wasn't this the being that appeared at the entrance of the cave back then?
According to Shangguan Wan'wan, this person was very likely a… Demon God!
However, he hadn't been able to see too clearly at the time.
Now he could see clearly that it was actually a female Demon God!
As soon as she arrived, she suppressed the incredibly terrifying red-haired monster with a flick of her finger.
The female Demon God stood in the air, her ruined face having only one pitch-black eye without any white.
That eye was filled with black light mist, and her gaze was fixed on Shangguan Wan'wan.
The next moment.
Shangguan Wan'wan's body involuntarily flew up, slowly flying towards the female Demon God.
"Wan'wan!"
Jun Wuxie was shocked. He stomped on the ground, his body soaring into the sky, reaching out to pull her back.
"Humph!"
The female Demon God snorted coldly, not seeing her make any movements at all.
Jun Wuxie felt as if an invisible demonic mountain was pressing down, and his body crashed to the ground with a bang.
"Let her go!"
Jun Wuxie's eyes were bloodshot, the blood energy in his body raging, the veins on his neck throbbing, using all his strength to stand up, but the invisible force was as heavy as Mount Tai, making it difficult for him to move.
"Sect Master Shangguan!"
"Sister Wan'wan!"
Mu Xue'lan and Liliya exclaimed in alarm.
At this moment, a ball of demonic light enveloped the female Demon God and Shangguan Wan'wan, flashing in the air and disappearing without a trace.
"Wan'wan!"
Jun Wuxie regained his mobility and rushed into the sky.
At the same time, the red-haired monster also regained its freedom, roaring madly. Its hundred-zhang body stood tall, and it slapped at Jun Wuxie in the air with its claw.
"No!"
Mu Xue'lan and Liliya's faces turned pale.
"Monster!"
At the critical moment, a middle-aged man in gray clothes appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his sleeve, a monstrous aura of death surged out, instantly knocking the red-haired monster away.
The red-haired monster's huge body flew several streets before crashing heavily to the ground.
It struggled to get up, letting out a fierce and terrified roar, turned and ran, disappearing in an instant.
Jun Wuxie broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the suddenly appearing middle-aged man, his pale, bloodless face, and the monstrous aura of death.
He was shocked and tentatively said, "Senior is a member of the Burial Clan?"
The middle-aged man nodded, restrained his death energy, and said, "I am the patriarch of the Burial Clan."
"Thank you, Senior, for saving us!"
Jun Wuxie breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was the patriarch of the Burial Clan, then they should be safe at this moment.
The Burial Clan elder told him to come here to find a way to leave.
Now, the patriarch of the Burial Clan was right in front of him, so he should know how to leave this place.
"You have taken the wrong path." The Burial Clan patriarch pointed to the black vortex at the end of the street and said, "This street is called Nine Nether Street, and this road is called the Road to the Underworld."
"Road to the Underworld?" Jun Wuxie's heart skipped a beat. He pointed to the black vortex and said, "Those soldiers, and that vortex, are… ?"
"Those are Yin soldiers, guarding the entrance to the Netherworld Hell."
"What?!"
Jun Wuxie, Mu Xue'lan, and Liliya were all stunned.
They simply couldn't believe their ears!
Did the legendary Netherworld Hell really exist?
The two of them had always thought that the Netherworld Hell was just a legend and didn't actually exist.
"Yao'er spoke of the Netherworld Hell. I didn't expect there to be an entrance here…"
Jun Wuxie had long believed in the existence of Hell. He never doubted what Yue Yao said.
He just didn't expect that the Netherworld Hell, which seemed so mysterious even in Yue Yao's eyes, would have its entrance within the Burial Grounds of corpses in this world!
However, was the Netherworld Hell in Yao'er's mouth the same world as the Netherworld Hell here?
"Are you very surprised?" The Burial Clan patriarch smiled faintly and said, "There are too many things in this world that you don't understand. In the future, you will slowly discover what the true heaven and earth, the true world, are."
"Senior, this junior has a request…"
"You don't need to say it." The Burial Clan patriarch interrupted Jun Wuxie and said, "I will not help you save your companion, because she will not be in any danger."
"Is what Senior says true?"
The Burial Clan patriarch nodded and said, "This is her opportunity."
The stone in Jun Wuxie's heart fell heavily.
Since the patriarch of the Burial Clan said so, there should be no mistake.
Wan'wan was a descendant of the Demon God. If she had this opportunity, would she obtain the inheritance of the female Demon God?
"Senior, we want to leave this world. Please guide us."
"Leaving is easy, but not now. You still have something to complete."
"Ah?"
Jun Wuxie was stunned.
"Follow me."
After he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, wrapped Jun Wuxie, Mu Xue'lan, and Liliya, and disappeared.
When Jun Wuxie and the others opened their eyes again, what they saw was a huge black lake.
The lake was somewhat peculiar, rippling slightly, filled with a rich soul force and a domineering power aura.
In the center of the lake, on the surface of the lake, there was a huge millstone, engraved with endless mysterious runes.
Above the millstone, in the sky above, the wind and clouds surged, and there was a huge black vortex.
From time to time, corpses fell out of the vortex and into the grinding eyes of the millstone.
The millstone turned, grinding, and from within came miserable cries, which made people feel cold all over.
No!
Jun Wuxie activated his Primordial True Eyes and looked carefully.
What fell out of the vortex were not corpses, but seemed to be humanoid souls!
Suddenly, a huge figure fell down, and it turned out to be a Dragon Soul!
A Dragon Soul?
It was too big, thousands of feet long, like a black mountain range!
During the fall, the Dragon Soul kept shrinking, and finally fell into the grinding eye, and was ground by the millstone, and there came the sound of howling pain.
At the same time, a large amount of soul light overflowed between the millstones and flowed into the bottom of the lake through the millstone.
There was also a wisp of black air, making a sharp and strange sound, which was strangled into nothingness by the light of the runes on the millstone.
"Senior, what is this?"
Jun Wuxie and the three were stunned by the scene before them.
"Millstone of the World, crushing all the ominous in the world." He pointed to the vortex in the sky and said, "That is the Gate of Soul Guidance, which can forcibly guide some valuable souls from the heavens here."
Jun Wuxie was a little puzzled and said, "Why forcibly guide those souls here to crush them? Is it because of the black air?"
"You are wrong, it is not crushing." The Burial Clan patriarch said, "Not every primordial spirit that enters the Millstone of the World will die. Some can survive and be reborn. And those who cannot survive will only become the most evil things in this world if they are not guided here."
Mu Xue'lan and Liliya had not spoken, just quietly listening to Jun Wuxie and the Burial Clan patriarch talking.
They completely did not understand, and were completely confused about what they saw.
Jun Wuxie was silent for a moment.
He realized that all of this was related to the Power of Darkness.
It seemed that someone was laying out a plan to fight against the Power of Darkness, otherwise, how could there be a Gate of Soul Guidance and a Millstone of the World?
Moreover, those who laid out these methods did not seem to be members of the Burial Clan.
"The souls that survive under the Millstone of the World…"
The Burial Clan patriarch corrected, "It is the primordial spirit, that is, the sublimation of the soul."
"Okay, where did those primordial spirits that survived eventually go?"
"Of course, they went to the Netherworld Hell. The Millstone of the World is connected to the Netherworld Hell. When they arrive in the Netherworld Hell, some of them can be reincarnated and live out a second life."
Jun Wuxie: …
He had seen the saying about seizing the body in ancient books before, forcibly occupying the body of others.
Reincarnation has always been an unfounded legend.
He didn't expect it to really exist?
Can the creatures of the world really be reincarnated?
"Then, Senior, what do you mean by saying that I still have something to complete?"
The Burial Clan patriarch pointed to the lake in front of him and said, "This lake is stained with the power of the Millstone of the World, and has the effect of crushing the ominous and purifying the flesh and soul. What you have to do is enter the lake, soak in it, and clear the Power of Darkness from your body."
"Senior, are you mistaken?" Jun Wuxie said confidently, "It is impossible for my body to have the Power of Darkness!"
He actually wanted to say that he used to have it, but it had already been purified by Ye Qingxue.
"Look for yourself."
The Burial Clan patriarch waved his sleeve, and a wisp of rune light from the Millstone of the World shone over, enveloping Jun Wuxie.
Jun Wuxie immediately saw that there were many wisps of black substance lurking within his body, in his limbs and bones.
How could this be?
He was shocked!
He had fought against the power of ultimate darkness several times, so of course he could recognize what the black substance was!
Didn't Ye Qingxue purify it?
How could those terrifying things still be lurking in his flesh and soul?
His back began to sweat.
This substance was too terrifying!
His ancestor had turned into a terrifying monster because he was infected with this substance.
All the evil corpses in this city were infected with this substance.
"The level of the power of ultimate darkness lurking in your body is very high. Ordinary methods cannot completely remove it. Only by using the power of the World-Grinding Wheel can it be done. Fortunately, although the level of this power of ultimate darkness is high, it is very weak. Otherwise, unless you jump into the eye of the World-Grinding Wheel alone and accept the wheel's grinding, it would be impossible to purify it!"
Speaking of this, the Burial Clan Chief gave an example, saying: "The level of the power of ultimate darkness that corroded the evil corpses in the city and the hundred-zhang red-haired monster that attacked you is less than one ten-thousandth of the level in your body!"
Jun Wuxie: …
Beside him, Mu Xuelan and Lily, although they didn't know what the power of ultimate darkness was, they knew that this kind of thing was very terrifying.
Such power was actually lurking in Jun Wuxie's body?
They couldn't help but become nervous.
What if soaking in the lake water couldn't remove it?
Did they really have to go to the World-Grinding Wheel?
If that were the case, could they still survive?
