Chapter 2493 - 2498: Netherworld Path

Chapter 2493: Chapter 2498: Netherworld Path

Heavenly Fate Venerable naturally trusts Xia Liu’s character.

Even if he is defeated by him today, Heavenly Fate Venerable still trusts him.

He admits defeat willingly.

"I hate to shatter your soul, but since I leave it to Xia Liu to decide, I certainly won’t trouble you anymore."

"Good! If so, let me show my sincerity first."

With that, Heavenly Fate Venerable formed a seal gesture, and his Nascent Soul left his body.

Seeing this, Xia Liu released the Stellar Power he absorbed earlier.

Directly destroying Heavenly Fate Venerable’s physical body.

The powerful energy destroyed half of Kunlun Peak.

Heavenly Fate Venerable gasped heavily.

Thankfully, he was wise; otherwise, he might have died without even leaving a corpse!

The Nascent Soul could be preserved.

There’s still a chance to survive in the future.

Consider it luck during a calamity.

"Continue."

Xia Liu said coldly.

"Thunder Emperor’s remnant soul is trapped by the Empress on the Netherworld Path."

"Boom!"

Upon hearing this news, Bai Yu’s veins bulged, and he couldn’t control his power.

Kunlun Peak, already mostly destroyed, was further shattered.

Nearly completely annihilated.

"How dare she!"

"Senior, where is the Netherworld Path, and why are you angry?"

Xia Liu asked, confused.

"Xia Liu, you probably don’t know, but the Netherworld Path is the most treacherous place in the Central Continent, and even the Cultivation Realm. It’s said to be the path where the dead leave this world, surrounded year-round by Ghost Energy, Demonic Qi, Dead Energy, along with Yin Qi and Evil Qi. In short, it’s absolutely not a place for humans!"

Recalling the fierce environment of the Netherworld Path, Bai Yu wanted to crush the Empress’s head.

She actually dared to treat Bai Jue in such a manner!

That year, she should have been abandoned in the snow.

Let her be torn apart and devoured by those starving wolves!

Xia Liu fell silent, not expecting such an extreme place to exist in this world!

"Xia Liu, it seems my remnant soul is useless now, trapped in the Netherworld Path for over two thousand years. Even if it hasn’t disappeared, it’s probably of little use now."

Though Bai Jue was reluctant, as things had reached this stage.

He had to accept it.

Even cultivators might undergo mutations after staying a thousand miles deep in the Netherworld Path.

Let alone a remnant soul of the Righteous Path.

If it hasn’t undergone demonization inside, it has probably been completely devoured.

Such a soul, Bai Jue dares not provoke.

"Heavenly Fate Venerable! Neither you nor that treacherous wolf shall live!"

Bai Yu suddenly turned his gaze to Heavenly Fate Venerable.

Bai Jue’s soul was trapped on the Netherworld Path.

Such cruelty, how could the instigator, Heavenly Fate Venerable, still deserve to live!

"Xia Liu! You promised me!"

Heavenly Fate Venerable was frightened and quickly sought help from Xia Liu.

Xia Liu’s reaction was timely.

He stopped Bai Yu.

Then he performed an inexplicable gesture.

He actually clasped his fists in gratitude to Heavenly Fate Venerable: "Thank you!"

"Xia Liu! You!"

Bai Yu couldn’t understand; even if informed of Bai Jue’s soul being on the Netherworld Path, Heavenly Fate Venerable shouldn’t be spared!

"Since the promise was made, it must be honored. This is my path."

...

Bai Yu said no more, noticing a change in Xia Liu’s gaze. There must be some intrigue in this.

Wait and see what explanation he offers.

"Heavenly Fate Venerable, you should have a formation platform for Joy Viewing the World’s Marvels, Stellar Transformation, right?"

"Yes, would little friend need it?"

"I do."

"Good!"

After agreeing, Heavenly Fate Venerable transmitted a Spirit Thought to Xia Liu’s Divine Sense.

"You may leave."

Having received the Spirit Thought, Xia Liu didn’t act; as he said, this is his path.

"Apologies."

Heavenly Fate Venerable fully conceded, apologizing with clasped fists before transforming into a stream of light, disappearing between heaven and earth.

"Xia Liu, why?"

Bai Yu couldn’t help but ask.

Firstly, there’s no reason to thank Heavenly Fate Venerable.

Secondly, if the path doesn’t permit Xia Liu to kill, he can be replaced.

Heavenly Fate Venerable certainly has no right to continue living.

"Xia Liu, about that remnant soul, I think we should forget it."

At this moment, Bai Jue also manifested.

Trapped on the Netherworld Path.

If that soul returns, it’s bound to cause trouble.

"Elder Bai, do you remember what body I refined for you?"

"Hmm?"

Mentioning this, Bai Jue suddenly froze.

"It’s the Primordial Demon Body of the Demon Realm! If your soul is completely a Righteous Path soul, merging into it might require a long time to adapt, but what if half of it is full of demonic aura?"

"Marvelous! In that case, during the fusion, it might restore to its former peak! Moreover, it can command the Primordial Demon Body of the Demon Realm!"

Bai Jue almost instinctively uttered these words.

"Precisely! That’s why I wish to thank Heavenly Fate Venerable."

Xia Liu nodded with a smile.

Perhaps even in death, the Empress wouldn’t have realized that she helped Bai Jue immensely!

"Haha! I think I get it!"

Bai Yu laughed heartily as well.

Turns out everything was within Xia Liu’s plans!

It’s quite brilliant!

"In that case, once the Abyssal Immortal Body is refined and the remnant soul retrieved, that would mark my return to the mortal world!"

Bai Jue’s voice trembled greatly.

Two thousand years!

Long gone, Cultivation Realm!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s head quickly to the Netherworld Path!"

Bai Zhengyang urged impatiently.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The Netherworld Path is the gathering place of all evil in the world. To enter, we must be prepared."

"Senior Bai Yu is absolutely right; I plan to enter the Netherworld Path after refining the Abyssal Immortal Body."

"Alright!"

Bai Yu agreed with Xia Liu’s proposal.

First, refine the body.

At that time, retrieve the soul.

To fuse directly!

All in one go, it’s simply too perfect.

After leaving Kunlun Peak, Xia Liu had no time to head to the formation platform location mentioned by Heavenly Fate Venerable.

Now he couldn’t afford that kind of consumption.

He needed to first find a secluded place without disturbance to refine the body.

And then embark on the journey to the Netherworld Path.

Before the Demon Domain army invades, retrieve Bai Jue’s soul.

Allow him to merge with the Abyssal Immortal Body.

Reappear in the mortal world!

In a remote forest on the southern border of Central Continent controlled by influential clans.

A grand palace sits within.

In a certain great hall of the Nether King Palace.

A glazed body stands therein.

"Is this the Abyssal Immortal Body?"

Looking at the glazed demon body before him, Bai Yu was greatly shocked.

"Yes, once Elder Bai’s soul merges within it, it can be shaped."

Xia Liu could feel the strength of the Abyssal Immortal Body, comparable to his own demon body.

Moreover, this body has the potential to improve.

The future achievements depend on Bai Jue’s potential.

"Good! That’s wonderful!"

Bai Yu couldn’t help but clap with joy.

Only the final step remained!

"We’ve stayed here for ten years; how is the outside world now?"

"It’s time to go to the Netherworld Path..."

Xia Liu and Bai Yu exchanged glances, transforming into light streams and shooting out of Nether King Palace.

"Zhengyang, has everything been well this past ten years?"

Bai Yu’s first words upon emerging caught Bai Zhengyang off guard.

"Ancestor, please don’t jest with me. Only ten days have passed..."

P: Sorry, there are only two updates today; everyone, rest early.
