Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 515 The Waters of the River Styx (Please Subscribe)

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly: "Not good."

“Shen has always been a loner and does not cooperate with anyone.”

In his view, none of the three demon lords before him, including Demon Lord Wanmeng, had any basis for cooperation.

That is mutual trust.

There is not even the most basic trust between them.

If you really encounter an enemy, you not only have to deal with the enemy, but you also have to spare some attention to guard against them.

Rather than that, it's better to go our separate ways and follow the right path.

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes said coldly, "Since Fellow Daoist Shen has no intention of cooperating, we will not force him."

"However, the Netherworld is extremely dangerous. Fellow Daoist Shen, you wouldn't want to oppose us, would you?"

Blood Shadow Demon Lord took a few steps closer to Demon Eye Demon Lord.

Clearly, this is also a statement.

The two of them planned to join forces.

"will not!"

Shen Xuan clasped his hands in a salute: "I have no grudges against you two. We are all seeking wealth, so there is no need for us to fight to the death."

"If any of you fellow Daoists require any treasures after we come out, Shen Xuan is willing to trade them at an equal price."

Upon hearing this, Demon Lord with Demon Eyes and Demon Lord with Blood Shadow exchanged a glance and slowly nodded.

They were equally wary of Shen Xuan.

At this level of cultivation, without sufficient benefit, no one is willing to fight to the death with cultivators of the same level.

"Demon Lord Wanmeng, what about you?"

"The Demon Lord with Demonic Eyes asked."

Wanmeng Demon Lord glanced at Demon Lord Yaotong and Blood Shadow Demon Lord.

She let out a sweet laugh.

“Wanmeng and Fellow Daoist Shen have known each other for many years. I’d better go with him.”

Demon Lord Wanmeng walked happily to Shen Xuan's side: "Wanmeng has been inside before, I can show you the way."

Shen Xuan looked at the smiling Demon Lord Wanmeng before him.

After a moment's thought, he nodded slightly.

He really needs a guide.

He was confident he could handle just one Demon Lord Wanmeng.

Whether on the bed or off the bed.

"Alright! It's decided then!"

"After we went in, we split into two groups and each went our own way."

Seeing that Shen Xuan agreed, Demon Lord Wanmeng clapped her hands and said.

……

The group flew together to the bottom of the sinkhole.

Shen Xuan and Wanmeng Demon Lord stood in the middle of the sinkhole, while Yaotong Demon Lord and Xueying Demon Lord, along with their seven personal disciples, stood in a fan shape.

"The entrance to this Netherworld is not fixed! It arises as the surrounding energy changes."

"The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes said calmly."

"With Fellow Daoist Demon Eye here, what difficulty is there in finding the entrance to the Netherworld!"

"Wanmeng Demon Lord said with a charming laugh."

A strange light flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lord with Demonic Eyes as he scanned the distorted space around him.

After more than ten breaths.

"This is the place."

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes arrived at the western pit wall, his white bone cloak fluttering even without wind.

“The Netherworld is different from ordinary secret realms. It is filled with Yin energy and must be broken through with skill. Brutal attacks will cause the space to collapse.”

The voice just fell.

The ghostly blue flames in the Demon Lord's eyes suddenly intensified, shooting out two solid, deep blue beams that slowly swept across the void in front of him.

This is his innate divine power, Ghost Fire Peeping into the Void Divine Light.

Where the divine light passed, the once empty pit walls rippled like the surface of water tossed with pebbles, creating layers of gray ripples.

Soon, a twisted, dark door, three zhang high with irregular edges, was revealed by the divine light.

Inside the hidden door, it was deep and dark, stretching as far as the eye could see.

It was like another desolate world, from which wisps of extremely pure and cold, dark energy seeped out.

The seven disciples of the Demon Lord all shivered.

"This is it!"

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes spoke with a hint of weariness.

Clearly, using this kind of eye technique consumes a considerable amount of energy.

"The entrance to the Netherworld is fragile and unpredictable. I implore the three of you to help me stabilize and open it!"

"I will freeze it!"

With a delicate shout, Demon Lord Wanmeng made a hand seal with her slender fingers, and streams of pink demonic energy flew out like silk ribbons, gently wrapping around the edge of the dark door's outline.

Like a spider web, it temporarily slowed down the distorted fluctuations of the hidden door.

Blood Shadow Demon Lord snorted coldly, and the blood mist around him surged, transforming into two huge blood-red palms with their five fingers spread wide, "grasping" the left and right sides of the hidden door.

The extremely fierce and malevolent blood energy surged forth, violently clashing with the cold and dark energy, emitting a hissing sound as it forcefully opened the hidden door.

Without hesitation, Shen Xuan pointed his fingers like a sword, and a stream of extremely pure Xuanbing cold energy shot out.

In just a few breaths.

The space surrounding the hidden door was completely frozen by the icy cold air.

Space was no longer distorted; even the cold, dark energy was frozen into countless tiny ice particles that fell softly.

With everyone's combined efforts, the hidden door to the Netherworld space stabilized.

Demon Lord with Demon Eyes and Demon Lord with Blood Shadow glanced at Shen Xuan.

His eyes were full of apprehension.

This was still an ice spell cast by Shen Xuan.

Its Dharma realm is still unknown in terms of its power.

"That's it!"

"The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes said in a deep voice."

Countless bone fragments on the cloak of bones flew up and transformed into two skeletal hands, pushing towards the hidden door!

The hidden door opened silently and slowly. A dark, silent, and dangerously quiet passageway was revealed to everyone.

The dense, cold, and dark energy condensed into wispy mist, floating within it.

The temperature at the bottom of the sinkhole plummeted, and a layer of black frost condensed on the ground.

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes withdrew his skeletal hand.

Just now, the four of them each used their abilities.

It looks simple, but it actually requires a high level of skill, precise control of strength, and is quite taxing.

In fact, it wasn't until the Demon Lord with the Demon Eye and the other two made a move.

Shen Xuan alone can open the entrance to the Netherworld space.

His [Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] can also find the entrance.

However, there's no need for that.

At this point, it's best to keep a low profile and play it safe.

The entrance to the passage is stable, and the interior is deep and dark, with no visible scenery.

The wispy, cold, and dark energy hindered the cultivator's spiritual sense from probing.

"Let's go in together!"

The demonic flames flickered in the eyes of the Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes, transforming into a streak of black light that led him into the hidden passage.

The Blood Shadow Demon Lord remained silent, transforming into a blood shadow and following closely behind.

Demon Lord Wanmeng smiled sweetly at Shen Xuan: "Shen Xuan, let's go in too."

They were responsible for clearing the way, so their progress was not fast.

It's only the flight speed of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Half an hour later.

With that, she leaped inside.

Shen Xuan's body lit up with a protective shield of spiritual light, repelling the invading yin and yin energy, and he followed Demon Lord Wanmeng into the passage.

Behind him, the seven disciples personally taught by the Demon Lord reluctantly followed.

As the last person entered.

Without external support, the hidden door trembled slightly, then quickly shrank and closed up, disappearing completely as if it had never existed.

The Demon Lord's passage to the Demon Eyes reached its end, revealing a hazy, gray underworld space.

After the slight dizziness from the spatial shift, Shen Xuan and his companions found themselves in a bizarre and fantastical world.

The sky was a dull yellow, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, only filled with a murky, chilling aura that corroded life and permeated the air.

The land was barren, covered with jagged, dark gray rocks, and piles of skeletons could be seen from time to time.

Ahead, a wide river lay before them.

The river water had an eerie dark gray color.

On the river, countless twisted, pained faces emerged from the depths, emitting silent wails.

Those are the lingering resentment and remnants of the souls of living beings.

This is a tributary of the River Styx.

Near the riverbank, some indescribable spirits dwell.

They come in all shapes and sizes; some are twisted shadows, some are monsters pieced together from countless broken limbs and bones, and some are writhing black mist with mouths full of gnawing flesh.

These spirits, lying prostrate on the riverbank, occasionally try to absorb the resentful soul power contained in the River Styx.

For them, this is the ultimate delicacy.

The arrival of everyone, especially Shen Xuan, brought with him a rich vitality and aura of life. In this Netherworld, he was like a torch in the night, instantly attracting the attention of all the Netherworld creatures.

"Woo!"

A creature resembling a giant bone spider let out a strange howl, its eight compound eyes simultaneously glowing a ghastly green, and it pounced forward first!
Other spirits, like a swarm of bees startled, surged forward, carrying boundless resentment and deathly aura!

"court death!"

Eager to make a name for himself, a disciple of the Blood Shadow Demon Lord unleashed a white bone banner, its demonic energy billowing as he faced the Netherworld Bone Spider.

However, the Netherworld Bone Spider was completely unfazed by the demonic energy attack. Its sharp bone limbs easily tore through the demonic energy, and it spat out a mouthful of pale Netherfire, instantly setting the disciple ablaze.

The demonic energy shield on that person was completely ineffective against the attack of the Netherfire.

"what!"

The shrill screams stopped abruptly.

The Netherworld Bone Spider pounced, tearing its burning body to shreds, its flesh and blood instantly devoured by the other surging Netherworld creatures!
The whole process was incredibly fast.

"waste!"

Blood Shadow Demon Lord snorted coldly, showing no concern for the fall of his personal disciple.

Blood mist surged around him, transforming into a gigantic blood spirit hand that blotted out the sky. Countless wailing blood-red vengeful spirits were wrapped around his five fingers as he slammed down on the rampaging Netherworld Bone Spider!
"boom!"

The Netherworld Bone Spider, along with dozens of low-level Nether creatures around it, was instantly pulverized by the Blood Spirit's giant hand, like crushed insects!
The force of the palm strike dissipated, leaving behind only a bead the size of a longan, completely black and radiating pure soul power.

This is the Netherworld Pearl inside the Netherworld Bone Spider.

With a casual gesture, the Blood Shadow Demon Lord took the Nether Pearl into his hand and felt its solidity.

"A second-tier high-grade item, not bad. This little thing has the effect of nourishing the soul."

Demon Lord Wanmeng chuckled, "Fellow Daoist Blood Shadow's Blood Spirit Palm has become even more powerful. In this Netherworld, it is even more like a fish in water, and its power has greatly increased."

Blood Shadow Demon Lord laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist Wanmeng is joking. How could I not know that your Demonic Thoughts and Buddha Flower Divine Power can be even more unpredictable here?"

The Demon Lord with the Demon Eyes released ghostly flames and piercing divine light, scanning the group of restless underworld creatures.

Under the oppressive light of his divine power, the horde of spirits dared not approach.

"These spirits are endless; they'll only multiply. Let's cross the river as soon as possible!"

The resentful spirits and lingering souls in the River Styx will defile the divine soul and confuse memories.

Shen Xuan recalled the information in the intelligence jade slip.

He spent a lot of spirit stones to buy it from Demon Lord Wanmeng.

This tributary of the Styx River alone can stop ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The River Styx flowed silently, its waters teeming with countless resentful souls, emanating a chilling, life-corroding aura. More creatures of the underworld gathered from all directions, their eyes fixed on the river, emitting eerie howls that sent chills down one's spine.

Among them are many Netherworld creatures even more powerful than the Netherworld Bone Spider.

"We can't delay any longer, let's go!"

The Demon Lord with the Demonic Eyes took the lead.

The ghostly blue flames in his eye sockets blazed brightly, and the white bone cloak suddenly flew up, making a rustling sound, and instantly enlarged, enveloping his entire body.

Each bone fragment on the cloak revealed mysterious runes, forming a pale white bone shield that completely isolated the pervasive resentment and lingering souls.

With a flicker of his body, he swept up three of his personal disciples and transformed into a white streak of light, flying across the River Styx.
