Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 96 - 96 96 Falling into the Underworld River

96: Chapter 96: Falling into the Underworld River 96: Chapter 96: Falling into the Underworld River Roar~~~

The Divine Dragon roared, its body enveloped in a golden hue of Innate Sun energy, resembling a miniature sun as it crashed towards Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong, who were locked in combat.

The two were so engrossed in their fierce battle that they were taken completely by surprise when someone intruded.

Unprepared, they were struck by Jiang Chen.

Swoosh…

From the Divine Dragon’s mouth, the Dragon-slaying Divine Sword erupted with bright sword energy accompanied by Innate Sun energy, stirring up a huge storm in the void, sweeping up the two and plunging them towards the nearby Netherworld River.

“Damn it!”

Within the storm, Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong were about to struggle when the Great Sun atop the Divine Dragon’s head flashed, instantly releasing an indescribable and overwhelming dignity.

This was the true meaning of opening the heavens, a comprehension gained by Jiang Chen from the Pangu Axe.

Even a mere trace of it bore unimaginable power.

Struck by this awe, Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong seemed to lose their senses momentarily.

Seizing this opportunity, the Divine Dragon Jiang Chen transformed into, swept them up and plunged straight into the Netherworld River.

A few plops were heard as the three figures disappeared into the murky underflow of the Netherworld River.

The Netherworld River, also known as the Underworld River, is a river flowing from the deep Nine Abysses, corresponding to the Heavenly River in the upper world, making it the most yin-infused river in the world of Heaven and Earth.

Due to its Innate yin nature, the Underworld River…

…does not foster fish or shrimp; birds and insects stay away; all life ceases to exist.

Anyone who fell into the Underworld River would be eroded by the Innate yin energy.

Within moments, their flesh would shatter from the cold, their spirit would disperse, and they would die.

But this is not the most terrifying aspect of the Underworld River.

Legend has it that those who die in the Underworld River lose their souls but their memories do not dissipate, instead remaining in the Underworld River.

When the waves of the Underworld River rise, each wave represents a person’s lifetime.

Falling into the Underworld River, even if one is lucky enough to resist the erosion of the Innate yin energy, they can’t escape the erosion of countless memories.

Becoming a memory upheaval, losing their true identity, it would be better to die outright.

…

Because of the danger of the Underworld River, Jiang Chen would drive Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong into it.

The two have received the blessings of the Witch Clan and Buddhist door, their power has become so indisputably strong that they are beyond the capabilities of Jiang Chen.

To prevent them from fighting, only risky maneuvers would work.

The Underworld River is Jiang Chen’s risky move.

Xiang Yu is a ghostly body, destined to be the victim of the Underworld River.

Sun Wukong being a stone monkey from birth, also has a weakness against water.

Both are vulnerable to water, coupled with the danger of the Underworld River.

Falling into it, if they survive a moment, it would be like losing their skin even if they didn’t die.

With the severe injuries they both sustained, they naturally wouldn’t have the energy to continue fighting.

As for Jiang Chen, he wasn’t afraid of the Underworld River.

Because, he was a dragon.

The Dragon Clan was naturally capable of resisting water.

The higher the bloodline grade, the stronger the water resistance.

Jiang Chen’s dragon blood came from the Ancestral Dragon and was unmatched.

Falling into the Underworld River, even if he couldn’t control the waters of the Underworld River, he could protect himself.

Therefore, he felt no pressure entering the Underworld River.

Who ever heard of a dragon drowning in water?

…

……

Cold, bone-chillingly cold, the kind of cold that seeps into your soul.

Upon entering the Underworld River, Jiang Chen felt a bone-penetrating chill swooping in all directions, seeping into his limbs and soul, threatening to shatter his flesh and wear away his spirit.

This was the Innate yin energy in the Underworld River.

Jiang Chen had clearly underestimated its power.

It was the most extreme yin-filled river in the world, and even as Jiang Chen turned into a dragon, he was still no match for the cold and felt the threat of being shattered.

Whoosh~~~

In the critical moment, the moon in Jiang Chen’s dantian shook, emitting a great suction force, absorbing all the cold energy that had flooded into him.

In an instant, Jiang Chen gave a shiver, returning to normal.

Then followed by relentless fear surging up in his heart.

Just now, he had come very close to becoming the biggest laughingstock in the Three Realms, and the first dragon to ever drown.

Such a narrow escape!

If Jiang Chen, an Innate Divine Dragon, was so off-balance, then it goes without saying that Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong were in worse conditions.

Glug, glug, glug!

The two were struggling violently in the water, their nose and mouth bubbling as the waters of the Underworld River continuously surged into their bodies.

At a certain moment, the Innate yin energy suddenly erupted within them, and visible frost began to cover their bodies.

Soon, the two were frozen into ice blocks.

But Jiang Chen still did not let them go; instead, he brought them deeper to the bottom of the Underworld River.

He was curious to see whether these two were actually immortal.

Did they really think they could do as they pleased just because they had powerful backers?

Today, Jiang Chen was determined to teach them an unforgettable lesson.

The further down they went, the more abundant the surrounding Innate yin energy, and the stronger the chill.

After who knows how long, Jiang Chen dived tens of thousands of feet deep.

The surrounding river water had completely disappeared, completely overtaken by the Innate yin energy.

Jiang Chen peered around, only to see surrounding him was a pervasive pitch-black Innate yin energy.

A bone-chilling cold emanated from it, as if a mere glance would have been enough to freeze one’s soul.

This place was extremely cold.

After arriving here, Xiang Yu and Sun Wukong had completely lost consciousness as their senses grew blurry.

According to Jiang Chen’s perception, their flesh had gotten eroded by the Innate yin energy; their bodies had been frozen stiff, their blood coagulated, and even their souls had a thin layer of frost.

If their souls got frozen, then even the gods of Daluo wouldn’t be able to save them.

Since this place was so cold that it almost killed Sun Wukong, Jiang Chen, however, was utterly unaffected by it.

He didn’t feel cold at all; on the contrary, he found the environment exceptionally comfortable, as if he was meant to be here.

The reason for Jiang Chen’s response was not because he was stronger than Sun Wukong or Xiang Yu, but because of the bright moon inside his body.

It was the treasure left behind when Tao Jian devoured the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow.

As the Shooting Sun Divine Arrow was capable of killing the powerful Great Sun Golden Crow, it was naturally deemed one of the top yin treasures in the world.

Its chilliness was so strong that if the source of the Underworld River were as cold, it might compare to it.

However, the current Underworld River water was not fit to be its equal.

Protected by this chill, Jiang Chen naturally wasn’t afraid of the Underworld River water.

Continuing to dive, Jiang Chen slowly reached the bottom of the Underworld River.

He saw the Innate yin energy there had condensed into a black river lining the bottom of the Underworld River, emanating shocking coldness.

Jiang Chen lowering his gaze onto the black water, he could vaguely see three shadowy silhouettes through the water.

Upon seeing this spectacle, Jiang Chen realized that the black water here was not confined to the realm of the mortal world.

Still, it’s an Innate divine water—Ghostly True Water!

However, the black water here only had three shadowy silhouettes and should be the most inferior Ghostly True Water.

According to the traditions inherited from the Emperor, the highest level of Ghostly True Water should bear nine shadowy silhouettes.
