Long Chen sat on the shoulder of the leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan, speeding along. When they encountered the Ink Sea, they simply ran across the surface without any hesitation.
"Aren't you afraid of the evil spirits beneath the Ink Sea?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask curiously.
"They won't dare bite us. With the Heavenly King protecting us, as long as we don't attack them, they won't provoke us." The leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan laughed.
Long Chen was very happy to go with them. Along the way, he was extremely polite to Long Chen, answering every question without any concealment.
"Is your Heavenly King really that strong?" Long Chen exclaimed in surprise. It seemed this Heavenly King was even more terrifying than Long Chen had imagined.
The leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan said proudly, "The Heavenly King is a noble ancient descendant, possessing an immortal body. When he was young, he was sealed in the Tongming World. Because he couldn't be killed, this method was used to imprison him forever."
Unexpectedly, the King's power continued to grow with the passage of time. However, being in the Nether World, he was powerless and could only be imprisoned.
You broke one seal. Although it was only one of 108,000 seals, once one seal was broken, the Heavenly King had a place to exert force, breaking through the seal and breaking free from the confinement.
The Santong Swallowing Heaven Clan is a royal family among the Nether Beasts. Now they are regrouping and launching a counterattack against the Nether Beast clan. So as you can see, whenever we encounter the Nether lineage, we leave no survivors. Hearing
this, Long Chen suddenly understood. No wonder these Nether Blood Giants obeyed the Heavenly King so much—they must be of the same lineage.
Previously, Ming Cangyue had also said that the Nether and Nether clans were mortal enemies, and the hatred between them was irreconcilable.
Perhaps precisely because of this, Ming Cangyue warned Long Chen not to join the Heavenly King faction, lest he get caught up in the conflict between two terrifying factions.
The Nether God Clan and the Nether and Nether Clans kept to themselves, never interfering in their conflicts for years. Ming Cangyue knew deeply how terrifying the foundations of the two clans were.
As the leader of the Nether Blood Giant race rushed forward, Long Chen saw many cities. The strong figures of these cities all saluted upon seeing the Nether Blood Giants, showing no fear, not even opening the grand formation.
However, when those powerful figures saw Long Chen sitting on the shoulder of the Blood Giant Clan leader, they all showed expressions of shock.
As he traveled along, Long Chen saw countless ancient cities, but most of them were wild lands.
Under Long Chen's question, the leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan told Long Chen that the area Long Chen was in was a wild wasteland.
Legend has it that during the primordial era, a terrifying war broke out, shattering the laws of the underworld's heavenly laws. For billions of years, no living creatures appeared in that region.
Over the past few million years, as the underworld has restored itself, these shattered Heavenly Daos have begun to return—a wild, untamed land in need of reclamation.
True powerhouses look down on that wild land, because during the restoration of the Heavenly Dao, the laws of the Underworld are not yet complete, requiring the condensation of the Divine Dao core to gradually expand their territory.
It's like pioneering—time-consuming and labor-intensive. Only those without foundation would go there to grind on the bones. The true experts compete for territory in the core area, because the laws there are intact and more conducive to cultivation.
Therefore, true powerhouses, whether from the Nether God clan or the Nether and Nether clans, would not go to the Wild Land unless there was a reason.
The reason the leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan had traveled so far was because they were purging the Nether Clan. They wanted to completely clear out this entire world, allowing only the Netherworld Clan to exist. This was the task given to them by the Heavenly King—he wanted to establish a world inhabited only by the Netherworld.
In this way, other clansmen who had been hunted and persecuted by the You Clan would have a pure land where they could rest and recuperate in peace.
The leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan was only one of thousands of squads; the others were still clearing out. The core area had already been cleared, leaving only the smallest corners.
After running for a whole day, Long Chen and his group arrived at a massive city. Here, it was as if Long Chen had entered a giant's realm, where he was even more insignificant than an ant.
Within this giant city, everyone was occupied by the Nether Blood Giants. After the leader entered the city, an elder wearing a golden crown quickly appeared.
As soon as the old man appeared, Long Chen, though mentally prepared, still felt his heart skip a beat. This person's aura was actually somewhat similar to Empuda's. Needless to say, this was a Realm King-level powerhouse.
The Realm King-level expert greeted Long Chen very kindly. Through his introduction, Long Chen learned that he was the chieftain of a tribe of the Nether Blood Giant.
Long Chen couldn't help but feel shocked. A tribal chief was already a Realm King—this was terrifying.
No wonder the three-eyed giant he met at the Chu family said Long Chen should come with him to the Underworld and follow the Heavenly King.
This Realm King was also extremely respectful toward that Heavenly King, showing just how exalted that Heavenly King's status was.
The clan leader exchanged a few polite words with Long Chen, then ordered the leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan to lead a dozen or so people to escort Long Chen away.
Those dozen or so people had an even more terrifying aura than the leader of the Nether Blood Giant Clan. Judging by their tone, they were worried something might happen and came to protect Long Chen.
Now, this world is almost entirely the domain of the Nether Clan, yet the clan leader remains so cautious, showing just how much he values Long Chen.
A dozen or so people left the ancient city, and ahead appeared an endless sea of ink. However, this time, they did not cross directly but boarded a giant ship.
Long Chen couldn't help but be puzzled and asked the reason. It turned out this sea area was a special region, with terrifying beings beneath the Ink Sea. To show respect, people were not allowed to wander around this area and could only travel by boat.
Along the way, Long Chen discovered that this world was indeed different from the area where Ming Cangyue and the others were. Although he didn't understand the laws of the Underworld, the aura of the Underworld was dozens of times denser.
According to Long Chen's guess, this should be the core area of a certain star region. No wonder the place where Leng Yueyan is called a wild land and is not favored by the strong—the gap is truly huge.
The giant ship had no canvas or runes, relying entirely on two Blood Dead Giant warriors rowing. Yet the ship sped forward like an arrow released from a bow, not much slower than their speed.
After rowing for a full two days, they finally saw the other shore. Once ashore, these Dark Blood Giant clan experts formed hand seals, runes glowing on their bodies, and their bodies rapidly shrank until they shrank just slightly above Long Chen.
However, after their bodies shrank, their vital energy and vitality were clearly sealed away, making them unsuitable for combat.
They protected Long Chen as they followed the path forward. Soon, countless beings gathered ahead, a sea of people stretching endlessly. At the front of the crowd stood a bald man over ten feet tall, burly, and brimming with vitality.
"Long Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The burly man spoke. As soon as he spoke, the space trembled, eternal roars echoed, as if the entire star domain echoed. He was the ruler of this world, looking down on all beings, his words acting with authority, unstoppable.
