Long Chen turned to look and saw it was a monstrous python. Its upper body actually had spider-like legs, jet black all over. As it roared, its two huge teeth gleamed coldly.
The monstrous python seemed to dislike the Dragonblood Legion moving too slowly. Its massive body was guarded by the strange man, but it didn't dare to bump into them, instead glaring angrily at the Dragonblood Legion's warriors.
The arch bridge wasn't very wide. Even if the Dragonblood Warrior was nearby, it might not get across. It was urging them to hurry up.
The Dragonblood warriors ignored it, since there were too many monsters here. If they walked too fast, it would be troublesome if they ran into them.
The monstrous python roared twice. Seeing no one responded, it seemed furious. It opened its huge mouth and unleashed a black beam of light that shot straight at the Dragonblood Warriors behind it.
"Courting death!"
The Dragonblood warriors were furious. You know those monsters are dangerous, yet you come to provoke us.
That black light was a terrifying divine ability, carrying a dreadful aura of destruction. The Dragonblood warriors dared not block it head-on and could only dodge.
As a result, the black light struck the ground, sending up surging black shockwaves. The Dragonblood warriors were actually blown away by the shockwave.
The others cried out in surprise. After all, this was the Underworld, and the spatial laws here made it impossible for them to fly. If they crashed into those strange people, it would be a real problem.
The monstrous python, seeing the Dragonblood Legion in chaos, seemed extremely excited, opening its huge mouth to attack again.
"Bang!"
Just as his mouth opened, Gu Yang kicked him the chin, sending the monstrous python flying backward.
The monstrous python roared, its long tail reaching the ground, trying to steady itself with force, but its tail suddenly collided with the strange man.
"Whoosh!"
The chain in the monster's hand shot out, instantly piercing its tail. With a fierce pull, the python's massive body was instantly lifted.
The monstrous python let out a piercing scream, clearly the chains had pierced through its body, causing it immense pain.
"Turns out he's different from the guards he used to be." Long Chen looked at the strange man, secretly alarmed.
When he first came in with the old man, although the strange man was terrifying, Long Chen believed he could still handle it.
Back then, Long Chen's cultivation was low and his combat power weak. Now that he had begun to break through Tongming, he should be able to look down on these strange people.
But after arriving, he found his combat power had increased, and these monsters had become even more terrifying.
Boom boom boom!
The monstrous python struggled desperately, grabbing all the blue bricks on the ground with its claws, but the strange man seemed to barely use any force and dragged the python back repeatedly.
"Crack, crack... The
python's claws pierced the earth, but still couldn't stop the monster's power. The earth was carved into a trench, sparks flew everywhere, and a piercing sound rang out.
Although everyone who comes here is a primordial spirit, a soul body, no one knows what kind of laws the Underworld possesses. Any living being who comes here can wield all their divine abilities.
The strange man showed no expression, pulling the chains in his hand back one by one. The cold chains showed no ripples, yet they could drag a terrifying powerhouse step by step.
"Pfft!"
The monstrous python's tail suddenly snapped, and a rain of blood poured out from the void. With only half its body left, it charged forward at high speed, soaring high above and running off the arched bridge.
The blood rain fell to the ground, turning into streaks of blue smoke before finally disappearing. The strange figure, as if nothing had happened, continued to patrol.
Meanwhile, the shattered blue bricks and the grooves left by the grasping on the ground actually restored themselves and began to heal quickly.
That wild beast was extremely formidable, but even someone as formidable as it was powerless against that monster. In the end, it had to cut off its tail to escape. The Dragonblood Warriors felt a chill in their hearts—the underworld truly was perilous.
With just this delay, dozens of beings were already standing behind them, and surprisingly, more beings were entering the Spirit Realm from time to time.
Moreover, Long Chen noticed that nearby arch bridges were one after another, but because of the mist obscuring the view, it was impossible to see what was happening on the other bridges.
This was completely different from when he and the old man first came in. The last time he came, there was only one arched bridge nearby, and Long Chen always thought it was the only one.
Could it be that with the arrival of a great era, the underworld has added more passages? Or is it that the passage they entered this time is different from the one the old man came through last time? Long Chen muttered to himself.
After the chaos just now, both the Dragonblood Warriors and other beings were extremely cautious, moving forward slowly, afraid of encountering those strange people.
After crossing the bridge, there is only one road. At the end of the road, ahead lies an endless sea as black as ink.
"Boss, why does this aura feel so familiar? I get it... When
Guo Ran saw the black water, he suddenly understood that the Death Water Long Chen had given him during the Demon Abyss erupted in the Demon Abyss and had a very similar aura to the black water here.
However, the black water here carried an even stronger sense of death. Seeing that black water made everyone's scalp tingle.
"This is Necro Water. If you fall in, you'll surely die." As Long Chen spoke, he plunged a divine longsword into the water.
When he took it out again, the part of the divine artifact longsword that had been submerged in the water had already vanished without a trace. Seeing this scene was truly shocking.
Above the Black Water, there was a stretch of driftwood stretching into the distance. This was just like last time, where these driftwood were the only path to the Gates of Hell.
Long Chen told everyone to move aside and not block the way, letting other beings pass.
The other beings glanced at Long Chen and the others, then jumped onto the driftwood and walked forward.
The driftwood looked very unstable, on the verge of collapse, but regardless of its size, it could only swallow the water that deeply.
"That's strange. They seem to be quite familiar with this place, not afraid at all." Guo Ran looked at those beings and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Perhaps they already knew some things about the Underworld before coming. Unfortunately, when we human powerhouses enter the Underworld and successfully advance, they forget everything within the Underworld and cannot pass on useful information to us." Long Chen said.
Long Chen once secretly asked the old man what he had experienced after entering the Gates of Hell, but the old man couldn't remember a thing.
Not to mention the old man—even Long Chen felt as if he had been targeted by some mysterious law since returning to the Tianwu Continent last time. He didn't dare discuss the underworld with the continent, feeling that if he did, not only him, but everyone who heard the news would face terrifying karma.
So outside, Long Chen hadn't revealed much about the underworld. After entering the underworld, this taboo clearly disappeared.
"Boss, let's go too."
When those beings traveled together,Moving forward, his figure disappeared into the Black Sea, Guo Ran said.
"No rush, come on, everyone, divide the weapons and armor."
As Long Chen spoke, he took out packages one by one, each with a name written on it. Before entering the Underworld, he collected everyone's weapons and armor.
The Underworld cannot bring outside things in, but Long Chen was different. His chaotic space was not restricted by this.
When the Dragonblood warriors donned their armor and carried their swords, they instantly became invigorated. Especially Yue Zifeng, whose aura had completely changed. With the sword in hand, he was the true Yue Zifeng.
"Let's go. Now there's nothing to fear. If anyone tries to show off again, I'll kill them on the spot." With his armor, Guo Ran became extremely arrogant.
However, their armor and weapons could not be placed in the Star Space, because their Space was merely an illusory existence and could not store physical items.
Human powerhouses coming here are at a disadvantage, because their physical bodies have no advantage. Unlike other beings who have fangs, sharp claws, and various divine abilities, humans are at a disadvantage without weapons.
"There are too many of us, this road is too dangerous. Come on, let's take the boat over." After Long Chen finished speaking, he took out a huge flying boat and placed it in the Black Sea.
This was an ordinary flying boat, but its exterior was heavily covered with black patterns. This was a membrane Long Chen had applied to the large ship with black earth, which was unafraid of the erosion of the undead water.
As soon as the large ship appeared, everyone was overjoyed and eagerly jumped onto the flying vessel. However, flying boats could not fly here, so everyone could only row together.
The oars were also wrapped in black earth, unfazed by the black water. Over two hundred Dragonblood warriors rowed together with all their might. The large ship slowly moved forward, gradually accelerating. From the flying vessel, one could see countless driftwood creatures carefully moving forward.
As these beings moved forward, they suddenly saw a large ship speeding past, each of them showing disbelief in their eyes.
Some creatures, so excited that they stepped into the water, screaming in fright and quickly pulling back their legs, only to find one foot had already disappeared.
The flying boat sped across the sea, and Long Chen could see that on the driftwood, all kinds of creatures were moving forward cautiously, not daring to be careless.
"I didn't expect that, besides our Tianwu Continent, there are so many other beings outside. It seems we really are frogs at the bottom of a well." Mengqi looked at those beings and couldn't help but sigh.
Along the way, they encountered tens of thousands of beings, but not a single one was human, let alone the powerful ones from the Tianwu Continent.
The flying boat traveled all the way, and no one knew how long it had gone. Long Chen slowly approached the driftwood, where the creatures atop were watching Long Chen and his group with the eyes of monsters.
Long Chen and the others stepped off the flying boat, because a nine-colored vortex appeared ahead. When the Dragon Blood warriors saw the massive nine-colored vortex, they were all stunned. The sight was truly breathtaking.
Long Chen smiled faintly. The first time he saw this Nine-Colored Whirlpool, he had the same expression as theirs.
Long Chen put away the flying boat and walked down the whirlpool ladder with the others. Soon, flat ground appeared below. He jumped down to the ground, a seemingly illusory passage passed through the whirlpool's water curtain, heading straight for the distance.
Long Chen looked around at the waterfall. He knew that beneath the waterfall lay the core of the Nine Springs, where he and Xie Qianqian had been sucked into hell.
Long Chen led everyone forward, and soon a city gate stretched straight into the clouds ahead.
The gates of hell have closed.
