Chapter 1595: Strange Lifeform

A three-inch-tall figure of Long Chen appeared. It was identical in appearance to him. This was his Yuan Spirit.

His Yuan Spirit slowly entered the old man’s head, and the old man opened his mind-sea for Long Chen.

“I can’t believe I was stupid enough to agree to do something so crazy.” The old man bitterly smiled. His own Yuan Spirit was looking at Long Chen’s Yuan Spirit.

He truly felt like he had gone insane. No one had ever dared to do such a thing before. However, Long Chen had promised that there wouldn’t be a problem.

“Ah, just relax. It’ll be fine,” said Long Chen.

“Prepare yourself. I’m about to start.”

The old man’s Yuan Spirit enveloped Long Chen in its energy. Long Chen could feel the old man’s vitality slowly dissipating. His vision turned dark.

“So this is how it feels to die. Endless darkness…” Long Chen felt like he had descended into eternity.

It was no wonder old people said that people had to live properly and be grateful for everything they had. It was because people’s deaths always lasted much longer than their lives.

He didn’t know how much time had pa.s.sed. Eventually, a gate appeared within the darkness, and a ray of light shot out of the gate.

The surroundings were still simply darkness. The only thing visible was a path formed of that light. Long Chen found that he and the old man were present, not just spiritually. They were in the same state as they were in the world of the living.

He raised his arms, he raised his legs, and he found nothing different about himself in this world. His power was still there.

“How curious.” The old man was also testing this new world. However, he quickly found that although his clothes were still present, his spatial ring had vanished along with his connection to his spiritual s.p.a.ce.

“It really is just like the legends. Once in the Netherworld, it’s impossible to bring in things from the outer world. Even these clothes are fake, formed from the surrounding laws,” said the old man.

Long Chen also couldn’t sense his spiritual s.p.a.ce, but he was delighted to find that he could still sense his primal chaos s.p.a.ce.

He extended a hand, and a wooden staff appeared in his hand. It was the staff that the old man usually held.

“You… How did you do that?” The old man jumped in shock.

Long Chen had previously been told by the old man that in the Netherworld, people were dead. According to some legends and sayings, the things on the Yang side were unable to enter the Yin side.

That was why Long Chen had specifically asked the old man to give him the black staff. He had placed it in his primal chaos s.p.a.ce. However, he hadn’t actually expected to be able to take things out from his primal chaos s.p.a.ce within this world.

“Ah, if only I had known this was possible. I would have brought in the Heaven Splitting Blade too. Should we go back?” Long Chen was vexed.

In the beginning, Long Chen hadn’t had any confidence in this. It had just been a casual experiment, but it had actually succeeded. If only they had brought the Heaven Splitting Blade, then the old man’s chances of success would have been practically guaranteed.

“Little fellow, you really have some skill.” The old man took the staff excitedly. With a weapon in hand, his confidence rose. Seeing Long Chen’s vexed expression, he said, “Be happy with what we have. This is the Netherworld, the opposite side of the Yang world. The Heaven Splitting Blade’s nature is heavily Yang. If we brought it in here, it would be like carrying a lantern in the darkness. That’s too dangerous. The staff is good enough, and its body originally came from a darker place. It’s not as conspicuous in this world, and I can use Split the Heavens with it. As for going back, that’s impossible. Once I go back through this gate, the gate will forever close, and I would never have another chance at the Netherpa.s.sage realm.”

The two of them continued onward through the gate. As expected, a long bridge appeared on the other side.

The bridge was covered in dense smoke, and countless figures were roaming across it. There were men and women, young and old. They were staring vacantly.

When he had seen them through Qu Jianying’s vision, he hadn’t sensed anything in particular about them. However, this time, he clearly sensed their spiritual fluctuations.

They weren’t the spiritual fluctuations of normal people. Their spiritual fluctuations were completely calm.

“They should be mortals whose souls were drawn here after death. They are roaming aimlessly… Watch out, that fellow’s appeared.”

Suddenly, the old man stopped after seeing the chain-wielding monstrosity appear. It was like a killing machine, its chains piercing through these wandering souls and absorbing them.

“Those chains should be treasures focused on absorbing souls.” Long Chen’s eyes began to s.h.i.+ne.

“Don’t you dare. Those chains cannot be touched.” The old man jumped in shock upon seeing Long Chen’s expression. Long Chen’s guts were even bigger than his.

“I was just talking. How could I be as unreliable as that?”
