Chapter 2080: The Underground World
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Black Puppy exclaimed, “I can’t believe that the Underground World exists below the canyons!”
Rattling its tail, Sky-Devouring Snake said, “This place is more complicated than it looks. I can already feel its evil energies.”
Qingfeng Li glanced at the two and said, “Your noses are sharp, I’ll give you that. There are great evils below.”
Boom, boom…
Suddenly, a booming sound came from the Underground World. Along with it sprayed a massive amount of devilish energies, surrounding Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li scoffed and spewed out a mouth full of flames. Now that he had reached the saint level, he could channel fire from any part of his body.
The fire from Qingfeng Li’s mouth carried a torrid heat, similar to that of the Sanhe Genuine Fire, torching up the evil energies as soon as it hit. The Devil Soldiers cried out in agony, later dying from the pain.
Qingfeng Li followed the cave entrance and walked towards the Underground World.
The Underground World was split into nine levels. The first level consisted of a massive amount of Devil Soldiers, reaching billions in numbers, taking up the entire Underground World of the Crimson Fire Continent.
The Devil Soldiers charged toward Qingfeng Li but were too weak against the man.
Qingfeng Li manipulated the essence of the planet, unleashing endless flames, torching through the billions of Devil Soldiers in an instant, and killing them all.
Next, he walked toward the second level, where the Devil Generals resided. This level was followed by the Devil Kings, Devil Monarchs, Devil Supremes, Devil Monarchs, etc.
Although these Devil Bosses were unbeatable when faced with the other self-cultivators, they were weaklings in the eyes of Qingfeng Li, a Planet Ruler.
Without needing to use his best techniques, Qingfeng Li extinguished them all through the simple use of his fire skills.
An hour later, Qingfeng Li, Black Puppy, and Sky-Devouring Snake arrived at the ninth level of the Underground World, the lowest of all the levels.
As they arrived at the bottom, they felt a sense of bone-chilling coldness as well as a bursting evil devilish energy. The energy was so strong that it almost materialized, turning into the faces of devils and biting at them.
Qingfeng Li smashed forward his hand, instantly shattering all the faces, turning them into black smoke.
Behind him, Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake also attacked with their superpowers, eliminating the devilish energies. Although the energies were powerful, they were no match for the two ancestral beasts.
Qingfeng Li continued forward with the two demonic beasts, reaching the middle ground of the ninth level in the blink of an eye. In front of them stood a massive blood pool.
The blood pool covered tens of thousands of square meters, containing a massive amount of blood. Around it were piles of white bones, with the majority of them being bones from children, eerie as could be.
Startled, Black Puppy said, “Damn that Headless Demon Corpse, is it performing sacrificial rituals here?!”
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and asked, “What are sacrificial rituals?”
Black Puppy explained, “Sacrificial rituals are simple. It involves drawing out blood from children and gathering it into the blood pool. Their blood is then offered to Devilish Saints to receive rewards. They need the Pure Yang from the blood of these children.”
At the sound of Black Puppy’s explanation, Qingfeng Li’s eyes flashed cold, deadly as could be.
He finally understood the actions of the Headless Demon Corpse. What a despicable deed.
Qingfeng Li suddenly remembered a legend he had heard earlier. When he first stepped into the country of Lingyun, the Lingyun Emperor had spoken of disappearing children. There were a few cases every year.
Other than the children in the country of Lingyun, there were disappearances in other countries as well. Some of the missing children were only babies, but even spirit monarch realm masters and half-step saint masters couldn’t locate them.
Qingfeng Li finally realized what had happened to the missing children. They were all brought to the blood pool by the Headless Demon Corpse, their blood exsanguinated from their bodies and used as an offering to powerful Devil Saints.
“Damn bastard, he’s finished!” Qingfeng Li’s eyes burned with rage.
Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake had fury in their eyes as well. Although they were demonic beasts, they were just as enraged by the sinister act of sacrificing children.
Suddenly, Qingfeng Li’s expression shifted. In front of him, above the massive blood pool was a red stone platform.
Atop the red stone platform was a pillar. Tied to the pillar, was none other than Wutian Mo.
At this moment, Wutian Mo had already fallen into an unconscious state. Part of his blood had already been exsanguinated by the Blood Pool, leaving him almost lifeless.
It was apparent that Black Puppy knew a lot about sacrificial rituals. “Qingfeng Li, watch out! The Headless Demon Corpse is about to suck dry Wutian Mo’s blood!” yelled Black Puppy. “He’s one of the Ten Great Demon Kings, so he possesses bloodline powers. Once it absorbs all of Wutian Mo’s blood, it will reach a higher level of strength!”
Qingfeng Li nodded and said, “You two, stay beside the Blood Pool. I’m going to save Wutian Mo.”
He launched himself into the air, transforming into a sharp arrow and rushing towards the stone platform.
Shoo!
Just as Qingfeng Li reached mid-air, a giant blood spider flew out of the Blood Pool.
The blood spider was hundreds of feet long, its body covered with red and black hair, looking incredibly daunting. Its feet were also half red and half black; half drenched in blood and the other half immersed in devilish energies.
Qingfeng Li sneered and said, “Fool, you dare to block my path?”
He punched out his right fist, destroying the blood spider with a loud bang, transforming it into a million pieces and sending it back into the Blood Pool.
Qingfeng Li continued forward, but in the next moment, he furrowed his brows at the sight of the dead blood spider flying out of the Blood Pool once again.
Black Puppy yelled out from behind, “Qingfeng Li, these spiders aren’t really demonic beasts. They’re formed from the blood. You can’t kill them completely. The only way to eliminate them is if you suck dry the blood pool.”
Qingfeng Li nodded and stopped bothering with the blood spider. As the blood spider rushed in front of him once again, he quickly swatted it away. He needed to reach the stone platform and save Wutian Mo.
Unfortunately, the blood spiders weren’t about to spare Qingfeng Li without a fight.
Shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo shoo…
Suddenly, tens of thousands of blood spiders flew out of the Blood Pool, occupying the entire surroundings.
They waved out their sharp feet, circling Qingfeng Li and biting at him from all directions.
All of these spiders were formed from the blood of the Blood Pool, granting them invincibility.
