921 Red Bird Pecking Flesh (2/2)

From north to south, from east to west, he wasn't willing to let go of a single inch.

However, when 15 days passed, Zong Shou was in total despair.

”Why can't I find her?”

”I have searched this 30,000-mile space twice, not missing out a single inch. I didn't even let go of the underground region...”

”Was it like Wu Yazi had said, that she was already sent to the Ninth Layer?”

Zong Shou was at a loss as he looked at the dozens of mutated Beast Pellets in his sleeves.

They were his gains in this layer, after going through 10 fierce battles.

There were even a few ties when he was nearly surrounded by Natural Variants.

God Realm Natural Variants had an intellect that was no different from humans.

Although they were motivated by the Vengeful Energy, they knew how to work together with other beasts.

This was why although they weren't as strong as him, they nearly killed him. He had to go all out just to barely be able to escape.

These mutated Beast Pellets were his spoils of war.

Hanxi was only able to use a few of them.

However, these God Realm and above Beast Pellets could be merged into his Soul Ocean Void Space like the Instant Space Dragon Pellets to become Star Dao Seeds.

If it was in the past, Zong Shou would be delighted with such gains.

However, now he was dejected, his chest felt cold.

As time went on, his eyes and soul acted up more often and the pain increased.

It caused him to feel giddy and at a loss while he walked around the void.

When he came to his senses, he was standing right at the center of the Nether Jail.

Unknowingly, he had already walked over to this place.

There was a black mist in front of him. Not only could he not see anything, but the Illusionary Heart Mirror was unable to shine through too.

The thick space Spiritual Energy was surging within the mist.

Apart from that, one could sense a strong aura within.

Zong Shou's gaze constricted. He had come to this place dozens of times during these few days.

He guessed that this was most probably the Abyss Gate to the Ninth Layer which was why he hadn't entered it yet.

He headed into this area whilst he was distracted, mostly due to his subconsciousness.

Then, he burst out laughing. It seemed like he had to make a trip to the Ninth Layer.

With this Ninth Layer made up, Zong Shou leisurely walked 100 miles away from the black mist and sat down.

He had consumed loads of energy these past 2 weeks and he had been through many tiring battles.

He was totally drained of energy. To try to enter the Ninth Layer to fight with the person within the black mist, he needed to recover to his optimal state first.

He swallowed a few Spiritual Pills. He bore with the bone scratching and marrow cutting pain, and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

He woke up a full 24 hours later.

He used the Illusionary Heart Mirror to replace his eyes. He suddenly felt something and he controlled the mirror to look to the side.

Thousands of feet away, a 30-year-old woman with white hair was hung onto a giant log, strapped down with arm-sized vines.

Hundreds of red hummingbirds flew over and landed on her body.

Each time they pecked with their sharp beaks they would rip off a piece of flesh.
