Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Lying a thousand kilometers underneath the ground was a vast and boundless underground world. It was filled with zombies which gave off a nauseating smell, black mist, blood pool, and strange vines which consumed the blood water.

Everything here made the Yazi Beast and Jiang Xiaonu have deep suspicions of whether this place was the legendary Netherworld Realm.

Netherworld Realm!

According to the legends, everyone would go to the Netherworld Realm after death. The soul reaper would bring one’s soul to the Netherworld Realm. In the Netherworld Realm, one might become a lonely and wandering ghost. With good fortune, one would be able to reincarnate; but if one had a bad fortune, they might get engulfed by malicious spirits. One might also be infected by the corpse aura and mutate into a zombie, where one would exist forever in the Netherworld Realm for eternity.

It was always the unknown that was the most terrifying. In addition to all those horrific legends, the Netherworld Realm was the human’s most fearful existence in their hearts. It had always been the night demon in the hearts of children. Even adults or formidable martial artists would still have that same level of fear because this fear was buried in the depths of the human’s spirit.

The Yazi Beast and Jiang Yi were currently brought into a place like the Netherworld Realm. Jiang Xiaonu was following behind closely. She had very pure intentions and didn’t have much outside world experiences. She had been growing up under the protection from Jiang Yi; hence, she didn’t have much courage. Right now, after seeing such a horrific scene, she was at a complete loss after being frightened.

“Lass, don’t bother so much and rescue us first! At most, we will all die here. Just treat those zombies like monsters— it will do!”

The Yazi Beast got rather anxious when it saw how Jiang Xiaonu was trembling with fear. Who knew what was going to happen in this wretched place? What if another horrific creature appeared and killed Jiang Xiaonu? If that happened, the Yazi Beast and Jiang Yi would be utterly dead in this place.

Jiang Yi was still in seclusion where he shut off all his senses. He was oblivious to the situation now, and he wouldn’t even feel pain if his head was split apart. Then again, if he was awake, he would probably not allow Jiang Xiaonu to come down and ask her to quickly escape.

Swish!

The Yazi Beast’s words brought Jiang Xiaonu back from her fearful state of mind. She looked at the entangled Jiang Yi and suddenly had this unknown surge of bravery from her heart. Jiang Yi was everything to her, and she could be fearless as long as it was for Jiang Yi.

She extended her giant wings and flew towards the Devil Star Vine which wrapped around Jiang Yi—as her body had turned into a bolt of green lightning. Her green eyes didn’t have any more fear and were filled with determination instead. She clawed with her razor-sharp claws revolved with green light, which emitted a sharp piercing sound.

Buzz! Buzz!

As Jiang Xiaonu got near, it made the Devil Star Vine extremely uneasy. The other two Devil Star Vines didn’t even dare to get near. The immeasurably long vine kept on swaying the air and emitting an ear-piercing sound.

Jek-Jek!

With the stimulation of this ear-piercing sound, all the nearby zombies began to move. A few hundred corpses leaped up and killed towards Jiang Xiaonu. Those blackish-gray claws were revolving with a black aura. The closer they got, the thicker the putrid smell, which nearly caused Jiang Xiaonu to faint.

“Die—!”

Jiang Xiaonu clenched her teeth and swung her sharp claws, clawing at the corpses that approached her. As the green claws and the black claws clashed, the Yazi Beast’s eyes lit up. Jiang Xiaonu’s claws were too effective. Since they were able to rip through the Devil Star vine, it immediately turned these zombies into dust upon contact.

Tsk-Tsk!

Jiang Xiaonu’s wings continue to flash as her sharp claws, which would turn all those approaching zombies into dust, before they finally turned into black smokes. Her powerful aura presence was very intimidating, and her charming face was filled with killing aura. She rushed into the groups of zombies as though she was an invincible battle goddess.

Jek-Jek!

Despite the case, there was an unending stream of zombies that would come wave after wave. These zombies didn’t have any consciousness and didn’t know what pain was. They instinctively attacked, and even though Jiang Xiaonu had killed a huge number of zombies, the rest of them would still continue to attack.

“Lass, don’t be caught up by the zombies. Quickly sever this Devil Star Vine!”

The Yazi Beast got anxious when it saw Jiang Xiaonu constantly turning the zombies into dust, but more of them came. This lass was too innocent and didn’t have any combat experience. If she was to continue killing like this, she would never be able to end this fight.

“Ah?”

Jiang Xiaonu was indeed engrossed in all the killing. She quickly snapped out and killed towards the Devil Star Vine. Her sharp claws transformed into streaks of afterimages which obliterated the approaching groups of zombies. In just a dozen breaths, she rushed to the where the blood pool was. She was about to swing her claws at the trunk of the Devil Star Vine.

Tsk-Tsk!

Once the Devil Star Vine was severed by the claw attack, its body continuously convulsed and let out sharp voices, summoning even more zombies towards Jiang Xiaonu. The blood within the pool was reducing quickly as the severed portion of the body quickly regenerated.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Xiaonu used one hand to constantly claw at the Devil Star Vine while her other hand brandished and killed all the approaching zombies. The regeneration of the Devil Star Vine might be fast, but Jiang Xiaonu’s claw speed was faster. In just a short moment of time, Jiang Xiaonu had shredded almost half of the giant Devil Star Vine.

“Alright!”

The Yazi Beast, which was bound, instantly roared out with delight. Its horn suddenly glowed and shot at the surrounding zombies beside Jiang Xiaonu.

Boom! Boom!

The Yazi Beast might not be able to move its body with its demonic strength, but it was still able to release the demonic arts. Pillars of light would eradicate groups of zombies into ashes. Just as the Devil Star Vine was about to be severed, the demon king grew even more excited. The pillars of horrific white light shout out from its horn, blasting at the surrounding like cannonballs. The entire place was filled with the sounds of blasting, explosions, and the strange shrieks of the zombies.

Bang!

Finally—!

After Jiang Xiaonu swung her final claw, the giant Devil Star Vine suddenly collapsed while Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast crashed onto the ground, smashing a group of zombies below them.

Tsk-Tsk!

As expected, this immeasurably long Devil Star Vine turned into a lump of black aura and permeated into the surroundings.

Roar! Roar!

The Yazi Beast’s eyes were filled with ecstatic emotions after escaping the entrapment. Just as it wanted to soar into the air, it realized that it couldn’t fly. Furthermore, its demonic energy within its body was in an abnormal disorder. Patches of black color appeared on its skin as the Yazi Beast instantly roared out, “Lass, be careful! The black aura is poisonous!”

Jiang Xiaonu took a glance and didn’t mind it at all. These zombies also had the black aura, but she wasn’t affected at all. She swiftly slashed the nearby zombies and rushed towards Jiang Yi with lightning speed.

Jek-Jek!

Jiang Yi was surrounded by plenty of zombies, and if it wasn’t for the Yazi Beast brandishing its claws, Jiang Yi would already be dead. The demon king might not be able to fly with its disordered demonic energy, but it could still rely on its tremendous physical strength. With every strike, it would turn the zombies into mincemeat.

The more the Yazi Beast attacked, the more black aura would revolve around its body. Its demonic energy got increasingly disordered. If this persisted, it might be infected by the black aura and turned into a zombie beast.

Why is this kid still not waking up? His body is being infected by the black aura, and if this carried on, he would ultimately become a zombie. Why is that lass still not coming over to help?

The Yazi Beast was enduring the suffering speechlessly. It took a glance at Jiang Yi as it blasted away the zombies. It then looked over at Jiang Xiaonu and immediately exclaimed, “Eh… why is her speed decreasing? This isn’t good!”

Jiang Xiaonu’s speed was indeed becoming slower. Not only that, but even her complexion was also turning pale. Her entire body trembled nonstop and felt as though she might collapse at any moment.

Her transformation time limit was up!

Her previous transformation lasted for around 15 minutes. After cultivating for a few months, she had doubled the time limit, but it was still only 30 minutes. It took her at least 15 minutes from the surface to this Netherworld Realm. After fighting intensively for such a long period of time, it was already praiseworthy that she could last for such a long time.

“Young Master, Xiaonu is useless and can only help you until here.”

Jiang Xiaonu used her last bit of strength to abruptly extend her wings. She turned into a green shadow and eliminating all the zombies as she flew towards Jiang Yi. The moment she hugged Jiang Yi, she couldn’t endure anymore. Her eyes rolled white as she immediately lost consciousness!

Right at this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes… with their deepest parts actually having two lumps of active flames.
