Chapter 1353: Chapter 1309 Nine Nether Underworld Realm Incomprehensible Ghosts!

The ancient river, emanating an air of antiquity and vicissitude, flowed quietly like a sprawling beast intent on devouring everything.

At this moment, it seemed as though all the surrounding kings might lose themselves in the surging river waters.

Abruptly, the dim world scene changed, and the calm river water whipped up into towering waves with whirlpools surfacing from the riverbed. Each whirlpool was immense, directly engulfing the boundless river water.

Following this, above the river surface, amidst the tumultuous spray of water, appeared an illusory bridge stretching across both banks of the river. There were six such bridges spanning the river, connecting a road that came from the end of the world.

Each bridge was as massive as a chasm, large enough to span the entire skyline if placed in the Wild Heaven and Earth.

However, sadly only one bridge remained, and most of it had become ruins. At the junction of the bridge and the water, chaotic stones were visibly scattered, showing severe damage to the bridge’s foundations.

As for the other five bridges, only the broken piers on both sides of the river remained, along with those severed in the river’s center. The whole world was dim and silent, devoid of any sign of life.

Under the direct gaze of the crowd, even their soul worlds were enveloped in a layer of darkness.

"Nine Nether Underworld!"

The Human kings reacted, and immediately exclaimed as they truly triggered the manifestation of the Nine Nether Underworld world. According to the legends, the Nine Nether Underworld Realm stood opposed to the Desolate Wild Heaven and Earth, yet they depended mutually on each other.

Xiao Chen’s Small World "World Thunder Sound" had driven the residual World Afterimage of the Desolate Wild Heaven and Earth, naturally triggering the Afterimage of the Nine Nether Underworld to appear in this world.

Regrettably, compared to the Desolate Wild Heaven and Earth, the Nine Nether Underworld Realm was even more ruined.

Above the sky vault of the Nine Nether Realm, there were great rifts capable of tearing the world apart, interlacing each other. Each rift had the potential to devour several ancient stars!

"Nine Nether River, Netherworld Water, The Bridge of Two Worlds, Netherworld Road, Ghost Worries, Do Not Speak of Life Only Death."

The Execution King, looking at the emerging Nine Nether Underworld Realm, his eyes filled with a hint of nostalgia.

The great war of the Wild Era had shattered the Desolate Wild Heaven and Earth and wreaked havoc on the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, which, despite countless eras passing, was still difficult to repair.

Without the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, the Desolate Wild Heaven and Earth was fundamentally incomplete.

"Nine Nethers manifest, Gui Tianquan, let’s see how you hide now."

Suddenly, the Execution King’s gaze turned sharp. He stepped at the pinnacle of the Void, looking down upon the entire Human World, exuding a domineering aura.

His aura was condensed to the extreme, seemingly ready to explode and strike the moment he detected the aura of any Ghost Tribe members.

...

Thousands of miles away in the Human Race Territories, there was a small tribe, a lower-tier tribe named Giant Stone, deriving its name from an immense boulder that existed before the tribe.

Giant Stone Tribe had just been established for over twenty years, and since the Gu Yuan Tribe took charge of many Human Race Territories in the Southern Domain, it had always encouraged the development of tribes under its rule, and there were countless such lower-grade tribes like Giant Stone.

However, today at the tribe’s Martial Arts Venue, among the group of youths trained, one person was missing.

"No resting allowed. If you could all be like Tianquan, then you could rest!"

A man with a scar on his face, exuding an air of the wilderness.

"Master Instructor, brother Tianquan is only eleven and is about to advance to the Blood Refining Realm. After that, at the central territories’ War God Temple opening, he will be able to join the King-level Tribe’s principal sect, and cultivate advanced spells, perhaps even being taken as a disciple by one of the seniors of the King-level Tribe, and in one step reach the heavens. We don’t have such talents."

"Brother Tianquan, indeed, is the prodigy of our Giant Stone Tribe. In the future, our tribe will rely on brother Tianquan to gain fame under the King-level Tribe!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, a group of youngsters all exclaimed eagerly.

"Brother Tianquan, come down and train with us, so we can share your luck."

Suddenly, a little girl shouted toward the top of a Stone Tower in the tribe.

Atop the Stone Tower, a boy was sitting on the top level, looking up at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault where thunder abounded.

"Tianquan, come down and show these youngsters a thing or two so they can be at ease and train their bodies."

The young Instructor also looked towards the top of the Stone Tower with a smile on his lips. The seemingly frail boy was in fact the hope of the entire Giant Stone Tribe.

Everyone in the Giant Stone Tribe aspired for him to lead the tribe step by step toward strength, to become a middle-tier tribe, a higher-tier tribe, even an aristocratic-tier tribe.

However, what the young Instructor hadn’t anticipated was that the boy, who was usually very humble and kindhearted in the tribe, did not agree this time.

Atop the Stone Tower, the boy, somewhat embarrassed, smiled towards the young Instructor and the many youths below, saying, "I’ve had an insight and want to break through my realm. I’ll demonstrate to you all another day."

"Really!" the young Instructor was overjoyed.

"Brother Tianquan is about to break through the Blood Refining Realm!"

"An eleven-year-old Blood Refining Realm, such talents exist only in those powerful tribes, right?"

Among the exclaims of the people below, Tianquan returned to his Stone Courtyard where only he and his grandfather lived.

Stepping into the courtyard, he bumped into an old man, who finally managed to speak, "My boy, are you leaving?"

"Yes!" The boy was slightly startled, then nodded. He hadn’t expected the old man to see that he was about to leave.

"Eleven years ago, when I found you in the Ancient Forest, I knew there would be a day like this, but I didn’t expect it to come so soon."

The elder spoke with a hint of sadness, but even more so with relief.

The little fellow he brought back then had turned out to have such outstanding talent.

"How did you know I would leave?" suddenly, Gui Tianquan asked softly.

"Ever since the thunder blasted continuously from the distant horizon these past few days, and the earth collapsed, I sensed your mind was unsettled. You were picked up by me; how could I not feel that there is a persistence in your heart?"

Hearing this, Gui Tianquan was startled.

He thought the elder had discovered his secret, not realizing it was merely due to familiarity, from the affection of familial bonds.

"Then... will you come back?"

As he reached the door of the Stone House, the old man’s body faltered, and he spoke shakily.

After a long while, Gui Tianquan finally replied, "If there’s an opportunity, I will come back to see Grandfather."

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, the elder chuckled and returned inside the house, from where another voice soon emanated.

"Go ahead, if you feel wronged outside, come back. This is your home, Grandfather’s place."

"Home?"

Hearing this, Gui Tianquan hesitated again, but rather than entering the Stone House, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

"What a pity eleven years of preparation, only to fall short at last!"

A barely audible voice lingered in the small yard as Gui Tianquan took a step and completely vanished from the Giant Stone Tribe, unnoticed by any warrior.

Giant Stone Tribe, a thousand miles away.

Upon the mountain peak, Gui Tianquan’s figure reappeared. This time, he no longer held the humble and shy demeanor he had in the Giant Stone Tribe. In his eyes, unbecoming of his age, was a look that scorned the world and sought to command all life.

Turning back to look at the Giant Stone Tribe again, he harbored no ill intentions towards the tribe people. Deep within his pupils shone a mysterious divine radiance.

Suddenly, that divine radiance flicked away, replaced by a streak of resolve to kill.

Feeling the summit of the Sky Vault, the vague scene of the darkened Nine Nether Underworld grew increasingly distinct. His blood qi inside surged violently, resonating strongly with the world.

"Nine Nether Underworld, this is my real home, isn’t it?"

Looking at that phantom river, Gui Tianquan’s eyes were filled with a sense of loss and longing. Bai Zhan’s young face showed a momentary dark haze, as wisps of ghostly air leaked out, only to be shattered by him in an instant, merging into the breeze and vanishing without a trace.

"Fate is indeed unpredictable; as they say, men propose, heaven disposes. It seems now I must take a risk."

Suddenly, Gui Tianquan’s gaze fixed on Xiao Chen, high in the Sky Vault, his eyes revealing a sharp and resolute light.

As Xiao Chen had guessed, Gui Tianquan’s target had always been him, and he had even arrived in the East Wasteland Border Domain eleven years ago.

For this purpose, he even lived among the Human Tribe for a long time, unlike other Hundred Clans of Heaven. He did not wantonly kill, and compared to other children of fate from the Hundred Clans, he was more mysterious.

Since coming to the Human Realm, he had considered himself a member of the Human Race and interacted daily with the warriors of the Giant Stone Tribe, all in hopes of gaining entry to the Gu Yuan King’s Department.

The reason he had not directly entered the Gu Yuan King’s Department was also for fear of accidentally revealing himself, so he preferred to take things slow rather than make haste and risk any slip-up.

The only regret was that human plans cannot match those of heaven and he was detected by the Human Race inspectors.

Now, as the dimly lit Nine Nether Underworld Realm above the Sky Vault grew more solid, the wisps of black air emanating from Gui Tianquan’s body were also increasing.

Even though he desperately tried to suppress them, he couldn’t hold them back completely. Those from outside clans would never understand the connection between Nine Nether Underworld and the Ghost Tribe; in that dark, silent era when the gods perished and the earth shattered, Nine Nether sank.

The ancestors of the Ghost Tribe stepped out from the Nine Nether Underworld for the survival of their race, and now, he sought to reclaim the Nine Nether for the same reason—the development of the entire Ghost Tribe.

As for why he wanted to find Xiao Chen, it was just as Xiao Chen had surmised—he is the Forbidden Half-King who had once entered the Chaotic Ancient World.

The Chaotic Ancient World harbored great secrets; this was known to all of the Hundred Realms. However, the defenses there were simply too strong.

Once, a Demon Emperor from the Demon Race forcefully broke through the barriers to enter there, but in just a few breaths, he completely perished. The spirit lamp left in his tribe transmitted only a few words: Human Race..., then utterly dissolved into ash!

So, through Xiao Chen, he wanted to explore the Chaotic Ancient World. Over the years, his conviction to find the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, and its inevitable connection, had become firm.

In his perception, Xiao Chen’s understanding of that land would bring him a surprise.

...

The gaze of Execution King, like two Divine Suns, incessantly penetrated the earth, sweeping across the Void, with a storm of aura raging in all directions.

When his spiritual will swept across a mountain peak a thousand miles away, that had been empty just a breath before, suddenly a figure appeared.

"Gui Tianquan, have you finally decided to show yourself?"
