Chapter 230: The Bet with Imotar
“I’m marked!”

Although he didn't know how it was marked, Chu Cheng was sure that he was just too weak to sense it.

“Damn it, am I going to die again to remove the mark?”

“But dying once is too risky.”

If you die without removing the mark on your body, then
"No, if I die, I can go back to an hour ago before I entered hell and be resurrected!"

Chu Cheng suddenly realized:

"Fang Xi and the others have already gone back. There is nothing here that I need to worry about."

"That's it!"

Chu Cheng made up his mind, but the next time of Temporal Shelter still had a cooldown of four minutes, and Imotar didn't seem to be going to take action directly, so he felt relieved and asked curiously:
"Can you tell me where this realm is?"

"Hell? Or?"

Seeing that he did not leave, Imotar was quite curious:

"Why, you gave up?"

"I think you should try a little more. Maybe you can escape from my grasp."

Chu Cheng replied:

"Of course I'll run. I just want to calm down now."

"In the meantime, let's find out where this place is."

Imotar smiled and said:
"You can indeed learn more about it. Perhaps in the near future, you will come back here and become my loyal subordinate!"

“That’s not necessarily true!”

Imotar had no intention of making excuses. He pointed his finger into the distance and said in a rhythmic voice:
"This is my kingdom, the realm of Hell - Imortar."

"This place is located in the depths of chaos. The ruler of all hells rules everything and spreads the disaster of hell to all the heavens and worlds."

"Just like you humans, we will also send demon armies to invade the worlds and plunder the origin. When you come back here in the future, you will be my loyal general, leading billions of hell armies to invade the worlds and spread the name of Imortar throughout the worlds."

"When you have made enough military achievements, I will grant you even greater power and territory."

"When you are strong enough and the army of hell under your command is large enough, you may become a new lord of hell and rule a country."

Chu Cheng
What a big piece of pie.

This Imortar really never forgets to tempt him.

But then again, temptation is temptation, and Imothar is not speaking nonsense, what he said is indeed true.

Theoretically, the more merits he made and the more hell legions he ruled, the more likely he was to be named the new Lord of Hell, but only a minor lord under Imortar, such as the Duke of Hell.

Without special circumstances, it is impossible to escape from Imortar's control and remain under him forever.

There are only three possibilities to change this situation.

One possibility is that Imothar suddenly died, and he was able to escape from his control.

The second possibility is that some other powerful being made a deal with Imothar, buying his soul with other benefits.

The third possibility is that he has made great contributions to the world and was noticed by bigwigs like Imotar's superior, the Lord of Hell, and was promoted directly to a higher level.

Of course, if his soul belongs to Imortar through a contract, whether he can be promoted depends on whether Imortar is willing to let him go. If he is unwilling to let go, unless the ruler of hell speaks up, the general lord of hell cannot force Imortar to let him go.

The above three situations are the most likely ways to get rid of Imothar. In fact, there are many other ways to get rid of him, but the possibility is too small and can be almost ignored.

In summary, once a contract is signed and one's soul is taken away by Imortar after death, it will be almost impossible to turn things around.

"Nana, we still have to run!"

Chu Cheng stayed here and chatted with Imothar for a while, mainly listening to him bragging about his great achievements and his own strength. When the time protection cooled down, he interrupted Imothar's boasting and said:

"I know how powerful you are, and I want to try it again."

Imotar smiled slightly and gestured for invitation:
"Of course no problem, you can leave anytime!"

Chu Cheng turned around and walked to the balcony of the castle, took a deep breath, and the person disappeared.

Imotar came to the balcony, stretched out his claws to the place where he disappeared, gently touched it to his nose and sniffed it, and said intoxicatedly:
"It is indeed the power of time. What a delicious soul!"

He looked up in a certain direction, his claws clenched:

"You can't escape from my grasp, huh?"

Hundreds of kilometers away, there is a huge volcano. Red lava is gushing out from the crater and flowing in all directions. Thick smoke is billowing straight into the sky and gathering into a huge volcanic ash cloud.

The sky was gray and burning volcanic ash continued to fall from the sky.

A figure appeared out of nowhere at the crater of the mountain top. Looking at the boiling lava in the crater, he couldn't help swallowing.

"If I jump down here, it might be a bit hot!"

Fifteen seconds passed in a flash. After exiting the time shelter, Chu Cheng carefully checked himself again to make sure that the hero's specialty of resurrection was effective. He gritted his teeth and jumped in directly.

"Gurgle. Gurgle."

Pain, extreme pain.

His strong physique made the pain more severe and more tormenting.

He was also a ruthless man who jumped into a volcano to commit suicide.

The person quickly sank into the volcano, the unimaginable heat penetrated the body, the blood volume dropped wildly, and soon he entered a near-death state.

"Damn it, if this doesn't work, then we're screwed!"

Consciousness quickly dissipated, and the next second Chu Cheng felt the sharp pain that penetrated his soul disappear instantly, and the darkness in front of his eyes turned red. He realized that he had died and was now in a state of time observation.

With a thought, he rose from the crater, looked up and looked around, and the gray and red world turned into the familiar black and white.

Without hesitation, his consciousness disappeared from the spot and appeared more than ten kilometers away.

It flashed continuously like a shield of time, and soon arrived in front of Imotar's palace castle, and its eyes instantly locked on the platform where they had arrived.

The portal on the platform has been closed, or has been destroyed by Imorthal, but from his perspective at this moment, there is still an outline of a portal on the platform, with streams of light converging inside to form a vortex.

In the long river of time state, the destroyed portal is still there, and passing through it is the Tower of Stars.

"go!"

With a thought, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards the portal.

However, when he was less than two meters away from the portal, a huge figure suddenly appeared and blocked him.

It was Imotar. He looked at Chu Cheng in surprise, who was even more surprised, and said:

"You can actually enter the long river of time and go against time?"

Chu Cheng was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that Imothal could only sense his location but could not see it with his own eyes. At this moment, his gaze was not focused on him.

Without a word, he flew through Imorthal toward the portal.

"You can't run!"

The Demon Lord immediately realized something was wrong and turned around and pressed the button in the direction of the portal.
