Chapter Index

    “Little Ying, you can go back first.”

    Looking at the black well, Lin Xun spoke.

    “I’ll handle the Seal here.”

    “Alright, Senior Brother, be careful.”

    Su Ying knew that with Senior Brother’s Realm, it would take about three days to completely reinforce the Seal.

    If she stayed here to help Senior Brother, her contribution would be minimal at best.

    Rather than that, she should go and handle matters of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect.

    Besides, she hadn’t even learned the Seduction Formation yet.

    Once Senior Brother finished reinforcing the Seal on the black well, he would surely leave very soon.

    She had to hurry.

    Moreover, after Senior Brother finished the sealing, his spiritual power and physical stamina would be nearly exhausted. That way, she could…

    After Su Ying left with slightly flushed cheeks, Lin Xun did not immediately begin reinforcing the Seal. Instead, he glanced into the black well and then jumped down!

    At this moment, the Seal was relatively weak, allowing Lin Xun to enter and see what was really going on inside the black well.

    Once the Seal was reinforced, he wouldn’t be able to go down.

    Falling into the black well, Lin Xun felt himself continuously descending.

    Everything he experienced was darkness.

    No.

    To be precise, it wasn’t darkness.

    Because black is also a color.

    At this moment, Lin Xun felt as if his eyes had disappeared.

    Everything was a void of nothingness.

    It seemed he wasn’t inside a well.

    It was as if he had entered a black hole that could devour everything.

    Lin Xun didn’t know how long he had been falling, nor when he would reach an end.

    “Too slow!”

    Lin Xun adjusted his position and charged directly downward!

    Half an hour later, Lin Xun felt the violent energy around him become extremely dense.

    The deeper he went, a bone-eroding cold began to invade Lin Xun’s body and Divine Soul.

    Lin Xun felt something surrounding him.

    These things encircling him were trying to stir up his evil thoughts, attempting to make him succumb.

    However, for Lin Xun, these attempts to provoke his evil thoughts were nothing but futile efforts.

    If Lin Xun could be influenced so easily,

    then he would never have been able to subdue the demon spear an sha and would have long since become its Puppet.

    “Thud!”

    Another hour passed. With a dull sound echoing from the bottom, Lin Xun had finally landed.

    The surroundings were still pitch black.

    But this blackness was the ordinary black of night.

    In other words, this kind of black could be illuminated!

    Gathering spiritual power in his eyes, Lin Xun gradually saw everything within the black well clearly.

    Countless longswords were embedded in the ground, resembling a Sword Tomb.

    These longswords were all rusted and broken, so decrepit that Lin Xun felt a mere touch would cause them to crumble into iron dust.

    He continued walking forward.

    Stepping inside, Lin Xun felt endless Sword Intent slicing at his skin.

    Even with Lin Xun using Spear Qi to protect his body, these Sword Qi still cut through his clothes, leaving one scratch after another on his body!

    If anyone else had entered, they would have likely been sliced into countless fragments by these Sword Qi.

    One sword, one person.

    Amidst these tens of thousands of different Sword Intents, Lin Xun sensed that the original masters of these swords were at least at the Yupu Realm!

    And these Cultivators of the Upper Five Realms had died here.

    Lin Xun suddenly had a feeling.

    This Sword Tomb wasn’t meant to prevent others from entering, but to prevent something inside from getting out.

    Passing through this Sword Tomb, Lin Xun saw countless stone statues.

    These statues were of bizarre shapes.

    There was a hundred-meter-tall Two-Headed Giant, and a Three-Headed Hellhound.

    There was also a Black Serpent of unknown length, its back covered in barbs.

    Getting closer, Lin Xun could sense they weren’t statues!

    They were alive!

    Spiritual power still flowed within their bodies, but for some unknown reason, they had been petrified.

    Finally, Lin Xun arrived before a massive stone door.

    Behind this stone door should be the Netherworld the Old Man had mentioned.

    Lin Xun touched the stone door, gradually releasing his Divine Sense, attempting to extend it beyond the door.

    However, Lin Xun clearly felt his Divine Sense being blocked.

    After spending half an hour, Lin Xun still hadn’t found an entrance to this stone door.

    But in the end, Lin Xun discovered that the only way to open this stone door was to blast it open!

    The question arose.

    Then how did that Blood Demon get out?

    When that Blood Demon emerged, it was in a Soul form.

    Logically, if its Physical Body wasn’t destroyed, it should have had a body.

    Lin Xun pondered slightly.

    Finally, Lin Xun sat cross-legged on the ground, planting the demon spear an sha beside him.

    “I entrust my body to you.”

    Lin Xun flicked the demon spear an sha beside him.

    Immediately after, Lin Xun’s Divine Soul separated from his Physical Body.

    As Lin Xun’s Divine Soul attempted to pass through the stone door, he felt a powerful repelling force.

    But Lin Xun found a weak point at the lower part of the stone door. The point was very small, like a drop of ink quietly splashed on.

    However, Lin Xun felt it was worth a try.

    Condensing his Divine Soul into a thread-like shape, Lin Xun passed through that weak point.

    After Lin Xun left, the demon spear an sha circled around Lin Xun’s body a few times, then gently poked his back.

    Finally, the demon spear an sha seemed to have thought of something.

    An Sha, like a Little Girl about to do something naughty, glanced at the large stone door not far away.

    It seemed to confirm that Lin Xun wouldn’t return soon.

    Immediately after, the demon spear an sha merged into Lin Xun’s brow.

    A moment later, “Lin Xun” opened his eyes.

    “Lin Xun” stood up, sneakily looked left and right at “himself,” then even undid his belt to take a peek.

    “Oh wow~”

    “Lin Xun” exclaimed, looking extremely surprised.

    After passing through the stone door, Lin Xun discovered a man’s body on the other side.

    This man had horns, his body covered in strange patterns, and his clothing was even stranger.

    Lin Xun walked forward and reached out to touch the other.

    He found this strange man was just an empty shell; the Soul within his body had long since vanished.

    Lin Xun felt that if his guess wasn’t wrong,

    this man should be that Blood Demon.

    That Blood Demon must have escaped that place by doing exactly what he had just done.

    But the question arose.

    How did the other party manage it?

    And if one person could get out, why couldn’t a second person continue to exit?

    After a brief thought, Lin Xun’s Divine Soul entered that Blood Demon’s body.

    Sensing this shell.

    The way energy flowed within this shell was very strange, making Lin Xun quite uncomfortable.

    But having a body was better than not having one. After all, compared to a bare Divine Soul, a Physical Body was a natural barrier.

    And since it was an enemy’s body, Lin Xun cared even less.

    Carrying his doubts, Lin Xun continued walking inward.

    Suddenly, a giant Blood Centipede lunged at Lin Xun.

    Without a second thought, Lin Xun punched directly at it.

    Somewhat to Lin Xun’s surprise, this body was very tough, its Realm should be at Ascension.

    The Blood Centipede was sent flying by Lin Xun’s punch. After twitching a few times on the ground, it turned into Blood Qi and died.

    “@%¥#!”

    From not far away came strange speech, but Lin Xun vaguely guessed its meaning.

    The other party was probably asking who he was.

    Lin Xun controlled the Blood Demon’s body and walked forward. From the darkness, three similarly horned humanoid monsters riding black dire wolves emerged.

    “¥%%&!”

    Upon seeing Lin Xun, the three Blood Demons were stunned for a moment, then quickly dismounted from their black dire wolves and knelt on one knee before Lin Xun.

    Lin Xun guessed that the escaped Blood Demon was likely the superior of these three, possibly even the leader of the monsters under this black well.

    “Hmm.”

    Lin Xun acknowledged them with a nod, then gestured for them to rise.

    “*****”

    After speaking more words Lin Xun couldn’t understand, the three subordinates stood up.

    One subordinate led a Black Wolf over, seemingly wanting Lin Xun to ride.

    Lin Xun didn’t refuse and mounted the Black Wolf.

    This Blood Demon held the Black Wolf’s reins, respectfully leading the wolf for Lin Xun.

    The other two Blood Demons also didn’t mount their wolves. Instead, they held the reins and escorted Lin Xun, deliberately staying a step behind.

    The hierarchy was extremely strict.

    After roughly the time it takes an incense stick to burn and a bit more, Lin Xun was led to a large gate. The three Blood Demons stopped.

    It seemed they wanted him to enter alone; they weren’t qualified to enter.

    Lin Xun waved his hand, dismissing them. The three Blood Demons knelt on one knee in salute before taking their leave.

    Looking at the gate before him.

    The question arose: how could he enter?

    But just as Lin Xun placed his hand on the gate, it suddenly shook violently and slowly opened.

    Lin Xun walked inside, and the gate slowly closed behind him.

    Behind the stone door was a massive hall.

    On a dais in the hall was a throne made of white skulls, looking terrifying.

    “******”

    Suddenly, another voice came.

    Lin Xun had just turned around when he saw a man walk over, give him a bear hug, and speak in a language Lin Xun couldn’t understand.

    Immediately after, more black phantoms descended into the hall.

    There were men and women.

    Some were completely wrapped in bandages, revealing only a pair of withered eyes that emitted Death Qi.

    Some were just skeletons, with ghostly blue flames flickering in their eye sockets.

    One woman most closely resembled the Human Race, except her body was enveloped in flames, even her hair was composed of fire.

    But these scorching flames only covered the most vital parts, like a swimsuit.

    However, the skin exposed was excessively pale, devoid of any blood color.

    Their shapes varied, clearly not of the same race.

    “*****”

    The Fire Woman also stepped forward, speaking words Lin Xun couldn’t understand at all.

    Lin Xun remained silent at this moment.

    If Lin Xun didn’t remain silent, speaking even once would give him away.

    “*****”

    The man patted Lin Xun’s shoulder, as if questioning why he wasn’t speaking.

    And at that moment, the ghostly blue flames in the eye sockets of the skeleton not far away suddenly blazed intensely!

    “****”

    The skeleton suddenly shouted.

    The next moment, everyone looked at Lin Xun in astonishment.

    “Boom!”

    Just as the Fire Woman released a flame to engulf Lin Xun, Lin Xun also bit his finger.

    Blood gushed wildly from Lin Xun’s finger, instantly forming a blood-red long spear!

    Lin Xun used the blood-red long spear in his hand to slash apart the flames from the woman’s hand!

    Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xun charged towards the exit of the hall.

    Their Realms were at least at the Immortal Realm.

    Currently, he was using that Blood Demon’s body, which he was extremely unaccustomed to. Forget about Immortal Realm strength, he could barely manage Yupu Realm strength.

    When Lin Xun touched the stone door, it automatically opened.

    Behind him, countless Spells came crashing towards Lin Xun.

    Lin Xun directly abandoned this Physical Body, slipping out through the crack of the opening stone door.

    They pursued Lin Xun, shouting as they did!

    Soon, various bizarre monsters attempted to block Lin Xun, but all were killed or fled as Lin Xun fought his way through.

    It didn’t take long for Lin Xun to reach the entrance where he had first entered, and then he skillfully exited!

    And the moment Lin Xun exited, An Sha, who had been controlling Lin Xun’s body and walking around, was startled and quickly relinquished control of the body.

    At this moment, Lin Xun was too tense to notice anything, not even that his body was no longer in its original position.

    Returning to his own body, Lin Xun finally let out a real sigh of relief.

    As long as he was back in his own body, he could exert his full strength. Dealing with those people would be much simpler.

    However, Lin Xun also felt he didn’t really need to worry.

    Because they couldn’t get out at all.

    And just as Lin Xun was wondering if they might come out through that small hole, when he probed the stone door with his Divine Sense,

    that small hole had already disappeared.

    In other words, neither they nor he could enter, even in Soul state!

    Lin Xun suspected that small hole was temporarily created by some Secret Technique, with a limited number of entries and exits.

    Once the uses were exhausted, the small hole would disappear.

    There might even be certain restrictions on who could pass through.

    Otherwise, only one Blood Demon wouldn’t have come out.

    As for what the exact conditions were, Lin Xun didn’t know and couldn’t experiment further.

    Regardless, as long as he reinforced the Seal on this well, even if a Soul emerged, it couldn’t leave the well.

    An hour later, Lin Xun returned to the surface.

    Three more days passed, and Lin Xun completely reinforced the Seal.

    Not only that, Lin Xun added another Seal on top.

    If both Seals were ever fully undone, Lin Xun would sense the anomaly.

    On the fourth day, Lin Xun returned to the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. By then, She Qiqi had long since left.

    And due to reinforcing the Seal, Lin Xun’s spiritual power was nearly exhausted, and his physical stamina and mental energy were also greatly depleted.

    Lin Xun felt he needed a good rest.

    “Senior Brother.”

    As Lin Xun dragged his exhausted body, intending to return to his courtyard to rest, Su Ying’s voice came from behind.

    “Little Ying, what’s the matter?” Lin Xun turned around to look at his Junior Sister.

    “Senior Brother.” Su Ying clasped her small hands behind her back, her fingers intertwined.

    “Hmm?”

    “Senior Brother, could you come to my room? I have something I want to tell you.”
