Chapter 403 Perilous Realm
Chi-

Profound lightning tore through the sky, ripping apart layers of air barriers.

Su Cheng was focused on his journey when he suddenly felt the earth below tremble slightly, and streams of black tide surged out from the ground.

"This is."

Fu Luo and Wen Qimeng looked down, their expressions slightly stern.

Even with just a spiritual probe, one can feel waves of chilling aura rushing towards them, as if trying to freeze their very soul.

"Most creatures of the Dark Realm dwell in the shadows."

Eleven explained in a low voice, "They are almost unable to communicate with humans, so their habits are naturally completely different."

Wen Qimeng murmured, "So, they've always lived underground?"

"That's true for most of the time."

Eleven said meaningfully, "But the so-called Four Regions and Three Lineages already have kingdoms similar to those of the human race."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.

No wonder most of the Dark Domain creatures encountered in the Five Desolate Regions were impossible to communicate with, except for Dugu Yue.
"However, such a commotion suddenly came from down below, could it be—"

"They've obviously set their sights on us."

The Heavenly Dao spoke calmly: "You all need to be careful."

Before the words were even finished, countless black lines suddenly ripped through the earth and shot straight into the sky!
Su Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Demon Sword Zhuo Shi Zi Lei beneath his feet flashed with purple lightning, instantly spreading for several miles and forcibly forcing back the Dark Domain creatures that tried to stop him.

However, amidst the flashes of lightning, the lightning net was gradually devoured and suppressed, while the surrounding black tide grew thicker and thicker.

In the blink of an eye, the rolling black tide seemed to transform into a giant hand reaching for the sky, as if it wanted to forcibly pull Su Cheng and the others back.

"Certainly not."

Flor looked around and said coldly, "Ordinary spiritual energy will only be devoured by those creatures of the Dark Realm."

Su Cheng also sensed something and bent down to gently stroke the spine of the sword.

"Faster."

The demonic sword trembled suddenly, and the thunderous storm exploded, forcefully shattering the massive, dark hand that had been formed.

Immediately, its speed increased several times over, breaking through the encirclement of the dark creatures in an instant and escaping.

"call"

Wen Qimeng looked back at the receding black tide and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. "Truly terrifying!"

Back then, when faced with the invasion of creatures from the Dark Realm, Aunt Jing always stepped in to suppress and seal them, and it was still difficult for her to comprehend the terror of these creatures.

Now that I've experienced it firsthand, I feel the chill that seeps into my bones.

If one comes alone, without the cultivation of the peak of the Void Profound Realm, one would probably not be able to survive even a day and would eventually become food for the creatures of the Dark Realm.

"Dugu.Yue".

Su Cheng casually patted his sleeve and whispered, "Just how many formations like that are there in your Dark Domain?"

"That's just a small tribe."

Dugu Yue breathed ambiguously in her mind: "There are countless tribes like this."

Even if you had the ability to annihilate them all in one strike, you might not be able to kill them all even if you tried for a whole year.

Su Cheng's lips twitched upon hearing this.

The number of creatures in the Dark Realm is terrifyingly large.

"That's why the resources of the Dark Domain were exhausted long ago."

Dugu Yue's tone turned slightly somber: "If we don't restrain them, they will inevitably bring about their own destruction sooner or later."

Su Cheng pondered silently.

"Wait, where am I?"

Shi Xuan seemed to realize something and asked in a deep voice, "How far is the Four Domains and Three Lineages you mentioned from here?"

"One of these areas spans approximately several thousand miles."

Dugu Yue then gave a cold smile: "This isn't my territory either." Flora's heart sank. "It seems this journey has been quite something..."

At that moment, she suddenly widened her beautiful eyes and abruptly turned her head to look into the distance.

"What's wrong?" Su Cheng noticed her unusual behavior and quickly asked, "Did you find anything?"

"It's the aura of the underworld."

Flora's eyes flickered uncertainly beneath her veil: "Why is there an aura of the underworld in this dark realm?"

Even Eleven couldn't help but glance at him sideways and secretly frown.

Underworld
"Because the Dark Realm intervened when the Underworld fell and collapsed."

The Heavenly Dao glanced sideways at them, its tone indifferent: "They secretly colluded with forces from other realms, and with the help of the five races of the Upper Realm, they stirred up war in the Five Desolate Domains, deliberately dragging the Underworld into it, causing its complete downfall."

Su Cheng and Fu Luo were both startled. "Why is this?"

"The Underworld is the foundation of the universe, governing the reincarnation of souls, and is one of the cornerstones of the operation of the Five Desolate Domains. To completely annex the Five Desolate Domains, eradicating the Underworld is an inevitable step."

The Heavenly Dao spoke calmly and without emotion: "When the cycle of life and death collapsed and the souls were left without a place to belong, the five races of the Upper Realm secretly constructed a 'pseudo-Netherworld' to absorb the souls of all living beings and taint cause and effect."

Upon hearing this, Flora's face turned icy cold.

She finally learned the truth about the collapse of the Underworld; the creatures of the Dark Realm must have devoured countless souls from it.
"In a sense, the underworld is also the nemesis of the dark realm."

The Heavenly Dao said calmly, "Humans use their physical bodies to support their souls, while beings of the Dark Realm use their souls to nourish their bodies. Since you control the cycle of souls, you naturally also control the power of life and death in the Dark Realm, therefore you must be eliminated."

Su Cheng frowned slightly and looked down at his sleeve.

What are your thoughts?

“In the past, I would have thought the same way.”

Dugu Yue's voice softened. "But now, I'll naturally listen to you."

Su Cheng grinned: "I hope you really will listen to me."

"--careful!"

Wen Qimeng suddenly exclaimed, "Over there, it seems like more creatures from the Dark Realm have appeared!"

As everyone looked in the direction the other was pointing, a massive, dark tide swept across the eastern horizon once again.

Although they were still far away, Su Cheng and the others could vaguely sense that their numbers were several times greater than those they had just encountered!
"How far are we from the entrance to the Heavenly Jade Realm?"

"Three thousand miles."

"Okay, I'll speed things up a bit more."

Su Cheng was pushing the demonic sword forward with all his might, while Flora looked at the black tide closing in from both sides, her expression cold, and formed a hand seal. The aura of the underworld condensed into countless dark arrows.

With a flick of her finger, the arrow pierced the depths of the black tide.

"It really works."

Having struck the creatures of the Dark Realm, Flora seemed to understand something and thoughtfully dispersed the surrounding black energy.

Just as the Heavenly Dao had said, she seemed to have a subtle ability to control these strange creatures.
"Alright, let's reflect on this later."

Su Cheng quietly put his arm around her slender waist and said in a low voice, "We need to go downstairs."

Three thousand miles were covered in an instant, and the demonic sword was then sheathed.

The group plummeted downwards against the wind, and Eleven suddenly drew his twin swords from his back, slashing several sword imprints in the air before striking the vast earth.

In an instant, a mysterious light suddenly burst forth, weaving together to form a portal that shifted between reality and illusion.

As the figures disappeared into it, the surging black tide behind them came crashing down on the earth, stirring up towering waves.

Countless whispers and murmurs, countless cries of despair, intertwined to form eerie, demonic sounds that echoed throughout the heavens and earth for a long time.

However, no matter how much they dug into the earth, those figures exuding an aura of supreme allure had completely vanished without a trace.

The streak of light suddenly plunged into the dense forest, stirring up a flurry of snowflakes.

Su Cheng waved his arm to disperse the misty snow, and looking at the familiar scenery before him, his mind settled.

"Finally, I'm back here."
