Chapter 424: No Return Bridge
Xuehai collapsed on the ground, feeling very helpless. He was asked to kill the Demon Emperor, but how could he do that?
The other party is now protected by Taohua. Even if they tell Huangtianjie that the Demon Emperor is back, those people will kill him, but there will also be people to protect him.
You know, there are still many believers of the Demon Emperor. Even if they are not members of the Demon Clan, they still believe in the Demon Emperor, and many people will come to protect the Demon Emperor at any minute.
This is not a solution.
"I can only lure Taohua away and then send someone to kill him." Xuehai said in a deep voice.
This is the only solution right now.
Xuehai tapped the ground with his index finger, and in an instant, four figures appeared in front of him. They all knelt down, clasped their fists, and shouted, "The Four Generals of Chaos, meet the master!"
"Go, follow him and wait for my order." Xuehai pointed at Chen Lan's projection and said.
"Yes, Master!"
In an instant, the four generals of chaos disappeared.
The Four Generals of Chaos were the four great generals that the Blood Sea had cultivated for nearly hundreds of thousands of years. Each of them was in the Dao Saint realm, very powerful, and not from the Demon Clan. They were people who were loyal to him for life.
"Next, I need to take action." Xuehai murmured in a deep voice. The only thing he had to do was to find Taohua to fight. He didn't want to kill the other party, just to delay him.
Without Peach Blossom's protection, the Four Generals would naturally be able to kill the Demon Emperor.
"Why did you come back? And you are still at the Dao Saint level. Aren't you coming back to seek death?" Xuehai laughed coldly.
As long as he kills the Demon Emperor, he will be the strongest person. It is only a matter of time before he dominates the Desolate Heaven Realm. The master will definitely praise him greatly by then. Becoming a member of the Heaven Realm is much more promising than being here! ...
The underworld.
The place is filled with turbid fog, miserable ghost howls can be heard from time to time, dark arms can be seen everywhere, and ghost fires float in the air. It is eerie and terrifying everywhere.
As soon as Chen Lan and Jin Tian arrived in the Netherworld, they were shocked by the scene before them.
"Why is the Netherworld the same as the Valley of Chaos?" Chen Lan asked in confusion. These mists actually blocked spiritual consciousness in the same way. It was too weird.
"My Lord, the most famous thing about this netherworld is its ghostly aura. The netherworld has existed for millions of years. This world already existed when I was born. I have no idea how long it has existed. I only know that when the world was first created, it was divided into three realms: humans, demons, and ghosts. The immortal world and the demon world were all latecomers."
"This underworld has the most ghost energy, which is very suitable for ghost cultivation. This ghost energy can obscure human eyes and conceal divine consciousness. It is rumored that it was able to obscure the Heavenly Dao in the past. Many unknown things have happened here, but those are all rumors. Now that the Heavenly Dao has become powerful, it can naturally spy on everyone. Divine consciousness cannot detect it, not even the Dao Emperor can detect it."
Chen Lan nodded slightly. It seemed that the underworld was not so easy to travel in, especially the black ghost hands that were everywhere on the ground. He had just cut them off with sword energy, but they recovered quickly in a short time, and with great force. He was accidentally caught and had to use 50% of his strength to pull them out. If a cultivator below the level of the Supreme Emperor entered, he would probably be killed by these ghost hands.
"What are the situations of these ghost howls, ghost hands, and ghost fires?" Chen Lan asked curiously.
"The ghost hands of the netherworld are formed from souls. The bodies of people who died here a long time ago were absorbed by the land and formed into these ghost hands. As long as the ghost energy is still there, these ghost hands cannot be eliminated. It is said that the entire netherworld is actually alive, just like a giant ghost."
A living world?! Chen Lan was shocked when he heard this. How could this be possible? The whole world was full of living things, breathing all the time?
He couldn't help but look at the ground under his feet. After accepting this setting, he felt like he was stepping on a living creature and was at risk of being swallowed by it at any time.
"The same goes for ghost fire and ghost howls. They are some kind of ghosts' means of deceiving humans. Some kind-hearted foolish people will think that the ghost howls are calls for help, and thus go over, only to be swallowed by the ghosts. One must be extremely careful in the underworld." Jintian continued.
Chen Lan frowned. In that case, when would it take to find the underworld?
"Time waits for no one, let's set off as soon as possible." Chen Lan said, and walked forward. Before he took two steps, he encountered a ghost! Boom! With a loud bang, a big foot suddenly fell in front of Chen Lan. This big foot had no flesh and blood, only white bones covered with mud, emitting a corpse stench, and the stench was overwhelming.
Chen Lan did not move, but looked up at the sky, only to see that the fog that had originally shrouded this place had dissipated a lot, and he could vaguely see the ghost, who was a thousand feet tall, and his other foot was still moving at an extremely slow speed. He was carrying a huge sickle on his shoulder. Although his speed was slow, each step he took covered a million miles.
"The sickle giant is a ghost transformed from a giant after death. The sickle in his hand can easily cut off other people's souls. He is also an almighty emperor." Jintian stepped out to explain.
Chen Lan nodded slightly and continued to move forward. He saw many ghosts along the way, each of which made him feel novel and much more powerful than those in the ghost world.
There are ghosts flying in the sky, without a body, only a huge head with a weird and frightened smile. There are also ghosts with ten heads and twenty arms crawling twistedly on the ground, also with weird smiles. All kinds of ghosts with scary and weird looks can be seen here.

But what surprised Chen Lan was that these ghosts did not attack him. They just glanced at him and left.
Not long after, he came to a deep rift, looking down at the bottomless abyss, Chen Lan frowned slightly, opened his Heavenly Eyes, and could see that there was a forbidden air formation here. The person who set up the formation was very powerful. If it was broken, it would take a lot of time. If it was broken by force, it would attract the attention of the other party. He didn't know who set it up.
"Master, we need to take the Bridge of No Return. Only after we walk across there can we truly reach the underworld." Jintian said.
"The Bridge of No Return?" Chen Lan asked doubtfully.
Soon, Jintian brought him to a bridge. There was no one on the bridge and the end of the bridge could not be seen.
"The Bridge of No Return, as the name suggests, once you step onto this bridge, there is no return. You cannot look back or turn around. If you turn back or around, you will be doomed and trapped on the bridge forever until you die and disappear into thin air!"
Chen Lan's heart sank. It seemed that he couldn't avoid crossing the bridge, so he decided to just walk across it.
"Master, I'm waiting for you in front. Those who have walked across the Bridge of No Return don't need to walk again. I walked across it a million years ago." Jintian said, and the next second he stepped into the air, quickly flew across the Bridge of No Return, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It seems that there is a magic circle on this bridge. If Jintian passes by, he won't be able to see it."
Chen Lan murmured, and resolutely stepped into the No Return Bridge. In an instant, he felt that the world had become quiet! (End of this chapter)
