Chapter 877: Leize (1/2)

“Finally leaving this blasted place!” The little fox popped her head out of Lu Yun’s robes and heaved a long sigh of relief.

“Leaving?” Lu Yun shook his head. “Not yet. I’ve given my wisp of hellfire to Tianqi, so I have to go to the Sea of Hellfire to get a little more.”

He had no treasures on him at the moment.

“Besides, that Patriarch Darkriver is a two-faced, two-timing crook. He’s extremely calculative and does things in the background that are completely different from what he presents to others. He pretended to be immensely fearful just now, but if I’d shown him any weakness, he would’ve attacked me as soon as I left the netherdark!” A cold sneer crossed Lu Yun’s face when he looked back at the Blood Sea.

A premier connate demon god bending the knee and scared mindless by the mere mention of Hongjun and Leize’s name?

As a human from Earth, he would never believe the scene he’d just seen. Whoever believed that Darkriver really was as timid as a mouse and terrified of death would be dead themselves before they knew it.

“Come on, let’s go check out the Sea of Hellfire.” He headed off in the opposite direction from the Blood Sea.

Down in the Blood Sea, Darkriver’s expression was broodingly ominous. He sat cross-legged on a scarlet seat cushion and looked out with slightly lidded eyes. Next to him, two vicious swords sparkling with crimson light howled with killing intent.

“Is he gone?” His voice was cold as ice.

“Patriarch, they’ve gone to the fiery sea.” Bashe swam down from the surface.

“The Sea of Hellfire? What are they going there for?” Darkriver’s expression remained unchanged and he murmured, “Lie Shan is no simple character, I wonder where Fuxi found him. Though he’s human, he’s wholly different from the humans now. He can attract and cause enormous changes in the connate great dao…

“But no matter what, I must obtain Tushan’s Bell of Chaos! With it in hand, I will be able to protect myself when the future cataclysm arrives!”

……

The Sea of Hellfire was directly opposite the Blood Sea. This was the true zone of prohibition in the netherdark and its most dangerous site. If ordinary beings approached within five thousand kilometers of the hellfire, their souls would be burned to nothingness by the deadly flames.

Hellfire was called such because legends spoke of a hell deep within the ocean of fire. It imprisoned all of the most infamous and villainous beings in the history of the great wilderness.

Such were the natural laws bestowed by nature.

Lu Yun didn’t know whether the saying was true or not, but from the depths of the fiery sea, there were indeed occasional wails of anguish that barely seemed to exist in the ear.

“The torch dragon has been born… who would’ve thought that the Sea of Hellfire would be its home?!” Shock filtered through Lu Yun’s eyes as he looked at the fiery ocean not in the least bit inferior to the Blood Sea.

The torch dragon was a guardian of human dao and a connate divine beast born of hell. Well, that was how he was described in the human dao era. According to how things were now, he’d be called a connate demon god.

“Wait, my death arts have returned to me?” He blinked with surprise.

A tremendous life form was being nurtured in the depths of hellfire—it hadn’t fully taken shape yet as it was currently a fetus and hadn’t even formed a consciousness. This ponderous being was the yet unborn torch dragon.

Spectral Eye!
