“The answer is simple. We’ll fight our way to him.”

Qin Jue said matter-of-factly.

Since Long Aotian was very likely to have already been captured by the high-level experts of this world, the only solution was naturally for them to fight the living beings here one by one until they struck fear into their hearts.

And such a simple and crude method was often most effective.

Qin Jue believed that they would know where Long Aotian was in less than a day.

“Fight our way to him…”

Long Zhen muttered to himself in a dilemma.

After all, he still didn’t know what realm those two sacred ancestors were at. It was too dangerous to attack rashly. If he was careless, he would die.

After pondering for a moment, Long Zhen suddenly took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. “Alright, then let’s do it!”

If Long Aotian was really captured by the high-level experts of this world, it would be impossible for him to avoid fighting even if he wanted to. He might as well be more decisive and save himself some trouble.

“Haha, I’ve been waiting for you to say this for a long time.”

Qin Jue raised his head and drank the spirit wine in the pot. He laughed and said, “Then let’s begin.”

“Wait, let’s determine who’s the strongest nearby first.” Long Zhen said solemnly.

This was a matter of great importance so they had to be careful.

“That’s simple.”

Qin Jue opened his palm, and a golden light immediately soared into the sky, instantly illuminating a thousand kilometers like sunlight.

Not only that, but there were also dense spirit energy fluctuations contained in the golden light. He believed that any cultivator from the Hell World in this area could sense it.

For the first time in thousands of years, such a dazzling light had appeared in the Hell World!

“What’s that?”

“How terrifying. I feel like all the spirit energy in my body is flowing away.”

“How could this be?”

“Run!”

“…”

In an instant, all the living beings within a five-hundred-kilometer radius fled in all directions, afraid that they would be melted by the golden light if they were any slower.

One had to know that the two worlds only overlapped once every one hundred thousand years, and it was only for three months.

Whether it was the Spirit Central World or the Hell World, both sides knew very little about the other party, let alone these living beings at the bottom of the Hell World. They didn’t even know what light was.

After all, light had never appeared in their world.

Of course, as these low-level living beings fled, many experts of the Hell World also noticed this, but they still did not know what that layer of golden light was.

But this did not stop them from coming over to take a look.

Not long after, more than ten figures appeared outside the golden light. Qin Jue and Long Zhen were already relatively close to the center of the Hell World, so there was a Saint Stage expert among the experts who had come to investigate. The other experts had also reached the Legendary Stage.

However… they still looked very ugly.

No, it wasn’t that they were ugly. Instead, they just didn’t look human at all.

Qin Jue finally understood why this world was pitch-black. It matched the lyrics to that song he knew: If the world was pitch-black, I too would be beautiful!

“Who are you? What are you doing here?” The leading Saint Stage expert did not dare to enter the golden light and shouted from afar.

“If you want to know, come closer to talk.”

Qin Jue didn’t want to talk from thousands of kilometers away. He waved his hand, and the Saint Stage expert who was originally standing outside the golden light immediately passed through space and appeared in front of him.

“???”

Everyone was puzzled.

For a moment, he forgot who he was and where he was.

The Saint Stage expert was dumbfounded and could not react.

“Is there anyone stronger than you in this area?”

“No, no.” The Saint Stage expert said subconsciously, but he immediately regained his senses. He was about to circulate his spirit energy to counterattack when Long Zhen had already used a Soul Search on him.

“What are you planning on doing?”

The Saint Stage expert tried to resist, but he realized that he could not move!

After a moment, Long Zhen retracted his spirit energy and said in a deep voice, “He really isn’t lying. This is an area under the jurisdiction of one of the supreme kings of the Eternal Night Empire. He is the leader of this area.”

“In that case, let’s go find that supreme king expert.”

Qin Jue indifferently said, “Aren’t there only ten supreme kings? They should know about Long Aotian. Perhaps they’re the ones who captured him.”

“Yeah.”

Nodding, Long Zhen didn’t hesitate and immediately flew towards the supreme king expert with Qin Jue.

A Saint Stage expert knew far more than a Legendary Stage expert. Thus, Long Zhen had now also gained a better understanding of the Hell World.

The reason why they didn’t kill these experts from the Hell World was because Qin Jue and Long Zhen were outsiders and there was no need for them to do so.

It would be like if aliens suddenly barged into the Spirit Central World and decided to kill everyone without saying a word. It would simply be too overbearing.

They were only here to save Long Aotian. As long as the other party didn’t attack them, they wouldn’t kill the innocent.

…

In the Eternal Night Empire that ruled the Hell World…

All living beings in the Hell World, regardless of their cultivation, had to listen to orders of the supreme kings and sacred ancestors. Otherwise, they would suffer a calamity.

Actually, tens of thousands of years ago, the Hell World was not like this. It was basically no different from the Spirit Central World. Factions used to be divided, and outstanding heroes fought among themselves.

That was until the two sacred ancestors appeared.

In just a few decades, all the forces of the entire Hell World had been swept away by these two sacred ancestors. They would either submit or be destroyed. Then, these two sacred ancestors established the Eternal Night Empire and united the Hell World.

Among the current ten supreme king experts, besides the three new ones, the other seven had all chosen to submit after being defeated by the sacred ancestors.

As for Nine Nether, he was very lucky as he was one of the newly chosen supreme kings.

Because of this, he was put in an important position.

At this moment, Nine Nether was sitting on his pitch-black throne as he listened to his subordinate’s report. “Your Highness, the Revolving King has already invaded our two regions and snatched a large number of cultivation resources. Many leaders are complaining incessantly. If this continues, I’m afraid our losses will continue to increase.”

As everyone knew, when a faction loses its external enemy, the people within the faction would become each other’s enemies.

Although there was only one Eternal Night Empire in the Hell World, the supreme kings of the various factions were not good brothers. If it weren’t for the two great mountains pressing down on them, they would have already started fighting.

Even so, battles would often break out over cultivation resources.

The ten supreme king experts were roughly divided into three factions. Among them, Nine Nether and the other two new supreme king experts belonged to the same faction. The Revolving King’s faction also had three king tier experts, and the last four were neutral, forming a balance.

Nine Nether slammed the armrest a few times and coldly said, “Hmph, I have already endured him for a long time. Since he wants a yard after taking an inch, then I also won’t back down anymore!”

“Yes!”

The leader in charge of reporting was overjoyed. With this order, he could openly start a war with the other party.

“Right, Your Highness, the abyss that appeared in Blackflow District…”

“Don’t worry about it. It’ll disappear automatically in three months.”

Nine Nether had already learned about the abyss leading to another world from the sacred ancestors. He also knew that that world would restrict his strength, so he was not interested in it at all.

“Yes.”

“…”

After giving his instructions, Nine Nether slowly stood up and prepared to leave.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Nine Nether sensed something amiss. “What a powerful spirit energy fluctuation.”

Boom!
