Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han felt the Heavenly Beast Cauldron sink into a massive vortex, spinning around and around for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, before he appeared in a void.

This place was different from the Chaotic Abyss. The Chaotic Abyss was a pitch-black void, but this was a desolate land, not completely dark, with a faint glimmer of light.

Below was a barren land, devoid of any flowers, plants, or trees, and without any living creatures. There were only skeletons, pools of decaying fluids, and rotting flesh, along with some Netherworld creatures feeding on the carrion.

Black mist drifted everywhere, making the environment extremely uncomfortable. Even though Jiang Han was inside the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, merely sensing the outside situation made him feel very uneasy.

After observing for a while and confirming there was no great danger, he flashed out of the Heavenly Beast Cauldron.

As soon as he emerged, he smelled a nauseating stench, a corpse odor mixed with strange smells.

Moreover, there was no heaven and earth spiritual energy here. The air he inhaled was completely toxic, making his whole body feel a chill.

Desolate, lonely, deathly, decaying, evil, a land of poisonous miasma, a kingdom of corpse beasts…

This was Jiang Han’s perception of this world. If he could, he wouldn't stay here for a moment. This place wasn't for living beings; it was a world of the dead.

“Awoo~”

“Keke~”

“Crack!”

After Jiang Han appeared, the aura of life on his body attracted the corpse beasts and Nether beasts below. Many corpse beasts and Nether beasts roared and charged towards him. Many more in the distance were alarmed and swarmed towards him as well.

Jiang Han glanced at them and found they were all low-level corpse beasts and Nether beasts, so he ignored them. He released his Flame God Armor and then soared into the air to scout the vicinity for an exit.

Since he had fallen here, the exit should be nearby, right?

He flew around quickly, and after a while, he noticed that Nether-evil energy was constantly invading his body, beginning to devour his life force.

He could only light a Soul Soothing Incense and constantly activate the Heavenly Beast Cauldron to absorb this Nether-evil energy.

After searching for a while, he found nothing nearby. There wasn't even a cave, let alone an exit. There were only a few small mountains and countless corpse beasts and Nether beasts.

“Awoo~” “Keke~” “Crack!”

Thousands of corpse beasts and Nether beasts had gathered. Some couldn't fly and could only follow below, while others flew and chased after Jiang Han.

Jiang Han was too lazy to entangle with the corpse beasts and Nether beasts. He quickly circled around, searching. After searching for over an hour, he understood something.

Entry here was a random teleportation; the exit wasn't nearby.

“Wander around!”

Since the exit wasn't nearby, Jiang Han didn't need to search anymore. He quickly flew away.

At the same time, he began to communicate with Bu Shi, asking him to transmit the secret technique to lock onto the outside world's location.

Bu Shi transmitted a thought to him. Jiang Han allowed part of his soul to enter the Heavenly Beast Cauldron and began to comprehend this secret technique, while he himself continued to explore.

“Bang!”

After flying for more than a day, a black lake appeared ahead.

Jiang Han didn't pay attention at first and flew directly over it. Suddenly, the lake water surged, and then a huge tail broke out of the water and swept towards him.

“A Dao Harmonization-level Nether beast!”

Seeing the power of the tail sweep, Jiang Han immediately judged the level of the Nether beast. He swung his iron fist and smashed it hard. The tail exploded instantly, and he was also shaken back by a huge force.

“Roar~”

The lake water stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and then a Nether beast as large as a small mountain roared out, its blood-red eyes filled with rage.

Although it was huge, its speed was no slower than Jiang Han's. It flew over quickly, spewing out billowing black smoke.

“Get lost!”

Jiang Han took out the Death God Scythe, and immortal power surged within his body. He suddenly slashed out, and a blade aura swept out, heavily striking the Nether beast.

This slash was extremely powerful, cutting open the Nether beast's belly, but the Nether beast didn't seem to feel any pain. It waved its sharp claws and slammed them hard on Jiang Han.

“Bang!”

Jiang Han was as if he had been suppressed by a large mountain, and his body crashed down heavily, smashing a large pit into the ground.

“Bang!”

The ground quickly exploded, and Jiang Han shot out. This palm of the Nether beast looked powerful, but it couldn't hurt him.

“Buzz~”

As soon as he came out, he released the Free and Unfettered Roam, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

“Whoosh!”

Just as he released the Free and Unfettered Roam, a huge claw slammed down, the ground trembled violently, and the giant beast's claw deeply penetrated the ground.

“Whoosh!”

Jiang Han's body appeared in the space hundreds of miles away. He was too lazy to fight with the Nether beast. Killing this kind of Nether beast wouldn't yield any Xuan materials, wasting time.

He continued to fly forward, constantly attracting corpse beasts and Nether beasts. He would just fly away directly. If he couldn't fly away, he would use the Free and Unfettered Roam to dodge.

After flying for about three or four days, Jiang Han was a little confused.

Because the scenery in this world felt almost the same: wasteland, withered hills, black lakes and rivers, and corpse beasts and Nether beasts everywhere. Other than that, there was nothing.

It was only because of his strength. If some ordinary martial artists fell into this place, they could only wait for death. They would be caught in the endless attacks of corpse beasts and Nether beasts.

There was no food inside, and not even pure air. The air they inhaled was poisonous.

It was only because Jiang Han was immune to all poisons, otherwise, he would have died from poisoning long ago. Moreover, the entire Netherworld was filled with Nether-evil energy, omnipresent, constantly invading his body.

Jiang Han believed that other than the Nether race, even if Qin Guangwang came in, he wouldn't be able to withstand it for too long.

After flying forward for another half a day, Jiang Han suddenly heard beast roars coming from ahead, and it was the loud roars of many corpse beasts and Nether beasts.

His heart stirred. Could it be that other living beings had entered here? Otherwise, corpse beasts and Nether beasts would generally not attack each other.

He quickly flew slowly along the ground. When he got close, he released the Free and Unfettered Roam and quietly sneaked over.

Soon, he discovered the location of the beast roars. It was under a huge cliff wall. There was a huge stalactite hanging in the air from this cliff wall.

At this moment, a group of corpse beasts and Nether beasts were fighting under the stalactite, and they were all corpse beasts and Nether beasts comparable to Dao Harmonization.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Han was secretly surprised. This was the first time he had seen corpse beasts and Nether beasts fighting each other, and so many powerful corpse beasts and Nether beasts fighting, yet the cliff wall and stalactite were not destroyed? It was very strange.

“The stalactite is dripping some liquid? Are these corpse beasts and fierce beasts fighting for this liquid?”

Jiang Han quickly discovered the problem. He looked up at the stalactite and the cliff wall, and found that black mist was rolling on the cliff wall, forming a natural vortex.

“Vortex?”

Jiang Han observed it and had a sense of familiarity. Soon, he woke up.

He had discovered tornadoes in the secret realm of the Li tribe in the Chaotic Abyss. Those tornadoes were also absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.

At the bottom of the tornado, Heavenly Spirit Crystals would form, which were heaven and earth crystals formed by the excessive accumulation of heaven and earth spiritual energy.

Could it be that the vortex on this stalactite had the same effect?

This vortex was constantly drawing in Nether-evil energy, and the excessive accumulation of Nether-evil energy ultimately formed Nether-evil liquid?

Were these corpse beasts and Nether beasts fighting for these liquids?

“This thing…”

Jiang Han's gaze turned to the vortex above the stalactite, and his heart suddenly stirred, as if he had an idea.
