Chapter 377: Slaying the Devil in the Netherworld
Chapter 377: Killing the Demon in the Netherworld
Indra continued to travel through the Nine Netherworlds. The darkness around him seemed to be wriggling with life, trying to devour him.
The air was like sticky sea water, which greatly restricted his movements. The air was filled with a pungent smell, which almost suffocated him.
However, none of these could stop him. He had only one goal in mind: to break into the core of the Nine Netherworld and rescue Luo Li.
Along the way, the monsters he encountered became increasingly powerful.
Those celestial demons are the top fighters among the demons. Their black armor is as hard as steel, and the demonic energy around them condenses into substance, forming a thick protective shield.
However, in front of Indra's shadowless dagger, these defenses were as fragile as paper.
Whenever he approached a celestial demon, he would always do so silently, and then like the god of death arriving, kill it with one blow.
Often, before the demons can even react, they have already died.
His movements were as fast as lightning, without any delay, and he continued to move forward smoothly, seemingly unaffected by the dark avenue.
In the core area of the Nine Netherworlds, the demonic energy is even denser, almost turning into a tangible black fog, and perception is greatly restricted.
The ground was covered with cracks, and black smoke occasionally came out, as if the gates of hell were about to open.
There are more monsters here, and they are more violent. They seem to have their potential stimulated by some force, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes.
In this land full of darkness and death, Indra is like a ray of light. Wherever he goes, the darkness disintegrates.
His steps were firm and his heart was calm, as if he was in endless darkness, yet he could see every detail clearly.
He could feel the invisible sense of oppression all around him, as if the entire space was rejecting him as an uninvited guest.
If it weren't for the Way of Nothingness, his movements might have been restricted, or he might even have been besieged by demons and ultimately failed.
But now, he turned into nothingness, but was not affected by anything.
Along the way, seven Heavenly Demons had died at his hands, and as for those below the Heavenly Demons, there were even more, too numerous to count.
The demons were shaken and gradually became confused.
They were shrouded in an inexplicable crisis, everyone was in danger, and each one was like a frightened bird, and would become nervous at the slightest movement.
"The Shadow Emperor's assassination method is indeed mysterious." Emperor Shitian admired secretly in his heart.
The method of assassination was what he learned (copied) from Shadow Emperor.
The way of assassination plus the way of nothingness, combined with the "shadowless dagger", is simply invincible and brings the way of assassination to the extreme.
A few more cold rays flashed, and several demons fell one after another. Their bodies were torn apart by invisible forces, and their blood dyed the Nine Netherworld red.
In a short while, Indra had crossed thousands of miles of void and arrived at the depths of the Nine Netherworlds.
The Land of Jiuyou is also one of the three realms of Xuanhuang. It is located below the Xuanhuang realm. It is boundless and larger than the entire human world.
Among the three realms, the human world is the weakest. The Nine Netherworld corresponds to the Heaven Beyond Heaven, where strong people are numerous and immortals and demons stand side by side.
It is rumored that the Nine Netherworld is divided into eighteen layers, and the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes.
Especially in the lowest levels, it is said that the Demon Emperor (corresponding to the Immortal Emperor) and the Ancestral Demon (corresponding to the Saint) are sleeping, and even the Demon Emperor dare not set foot there easily.
Of course, this is just a legend and is not necessarily true.
But no matter what, the danger of the Nine Netherworld is indeed chilling.
Indra has now entered the eleventh level. In the boundless demonic energy, a huge black continent is suspended.
The cold and chilly wind howled like a sharp whistle raging in my ears, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were endless.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, carrying with it the creepy howling of ghosts and wolves, which made people shudder with fear.
The dense dark demonic energy rolled and surged like thick ink, emitting a pungent and foul smell, like a giant beast that would choose its prey and devour its prey, causing one's heart to shudder.
"Master, the goddess is on the thirteenth floor, but there is a demon there, so you must be careful!" Xiao Qi reminded secretly.
At this point, Indra also began to feel pressure, and the operation of the Way of Nothingness was no longer as smooth as before.
After all, this is the home ground of Dark Avenue.
If a non-dark cultivator were to give advice here, it would be equivalent to provoking the Dark Avenue, and naturally they would be targeted everywhere.
Others may not be able to sense the Way of Nothingness, but the Way of Darkness can.
This is the induction between the great ways.
The clash of great ways is extremely dangerous, and even the immortal kings and giants dare not challenge them lightly.
After all, the Dao that people comprehend is so far behind the Dao itself in terms of level and is not on the same level at all.
Indra's way of nothingness is indeed powerful. Even if it is rejected by the avenue of darkness, it still maintains the characteristics of nothingness, making it difficult to detect.
However, as the Dark Avenue fluctuated, the dark side still sensed his direction and began to gather experts to try to find him.
"Roar!"
Eight huge black shadows jumped out from the evil energy like ghosts. They were the eight heavenly demons guarding this place.
Their faces were hideous, their fangs were bared, and their bodies were emitting raging demonic flames.
The demonic flames made crackling sounds and emitted scorching heat, causing the surrounding air to distort.
"How dare you, a human ant, trespass into the Nine Netherworlds? You are courting death!"
The eight great demons roared in unison, the sound was like a muffled thunder, which hurt people's eardrums and seemed to shake people's souls out of their bodies.
They attacked at the same time, their devil claws covering the sky and the sun, grabbing towards the direction where Indra was with the power to tear the void.
Eight top demons formed a dark sky net that covered thousands of miles of space. With the help of the Dark Avenue, they finally locked onto Indra's position.
"Hmph!" Emperor Shitian snorted coldly, with fighting spirit rising in his eyes.
The Way of Nothingness was running at full power, turning everything around it into nothingness. Even the Dark Skynet could not avoid it and was easily dissolved, disappearing without a trace.
Indra's figure entered the void again. No matter how hard the eight demons searched, they could not find any trace of him.
"Damn it!"
"What kind of evil magic did this person practice? Why is it so difficult for him to even sense the Dark Avenue?"
"This is trouble. This person has been lurking in the dark and is a huge threat to our dark clan!"
"This matter should be reported to the Demon Lord!"
A group of demons were talking about this, their eyes full of confusion and shock.
They had never seen such a difficult enemy as Indra, who was not only powerful but also able to become invisible at any time.
How do they cope with this?
Indra transformed into nothingness, without saying a word or moving a muscle. Even the Dark Avenue was temporarily blinded and was unable to transmit any fluctuations in time.
After a while, the demons lost their patience and walked away cursing.
At this moment, Emperor Shitian suddenly made a move, and the shadowless spear turned into a cold light, piercing through the void and instantly piercing into the back of a demon.
"puff!"
Another demon died. Before he died, he turned his head and wanted to see the enemy's shadow, but there was nothing behind him.
This was beyond his comprehension, and he ended up with three big question marks on his head as his soul returned to the underworld.
