Chapter 355: King of the Netherworld

After breaking through to the Immortal King Realm, the worry in Lin Jiufeng’s heart instantly disappeared. He could now use all the cultivation techniques he had gained in the mortal realm.

The most important was naturally the 3,000 Great Dao.

With the resplendent Great Dao in his hand, Lin Jiufeng was confident in facing the enemies in the depths of the Death Realm.

Including the few phenomena that he had obtained, he could use them freely without any worries.

The only regret was that the Light of the Homes, the General Appointing Platform, and the Sword of the Holy Church didn’t enter the Death Realm.

These treasures were all left in the mortal realm, in the imperial capital, and in the Primal Chaos Array Formation.

Now, Lin Jiufeng only had the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield.

Pulling out the Sword of the Ancient Battlefield that was inserted into the tomb, Lin Jiufeng stroked it with his hand. His eyes sharp, he suddenly pointed the sword, and a cold light cut through the air, revealing a crack.

The casual strike of Lin Jiufeng, who was at the Immortal King Realm, was at a level that was beyond the Ancestral Immortal Realm or even the Sovereign Immortal Realm.

Lin Jiufeng said in satisfaction, “In this state, we can go deep into the Death Realm.”

“Great Emperor Jiufeng, you broke through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm?” Black Skeleton watched in shock from afar. It had personally witnessed Lin Jiufeng crossing countless thresholds from the Ancestral Immortal Realm to the Immortal King Realm in a short period of time.

Black Skeleton was so envious that it was about to cry.

Was it that easy to break through to the Five-Colored Skeleton Realm?

It had absorbed the five-colored soul flame that Lin Jiufeng gave it, but it still didn’t break through. It only improved to the peak of the golden soul flame.

Although it was only one step away from the five-colored soul flame, this step was like a chasm. Black Skeleton temporarily couldn’t cross it.

Unless it encountered a huge opportunity.

But Black Skeleton knew that it couldn’t rely on itself to encounter such an opportunity. It could only hug Great Emperor Jiufeng’s thigh tightly.

But it definitely didn’t expect this.

A seemingly simple breakthrough made Lin Jiufeng directly become Immortal King Lin.

Wasn’t this too incredible?

White Skeleton was the same. It had also personally seen Lin Jiufeng advance step by step from Ancestral Immortal Realm to Sovereign Immortal Realm and finally to Immortal King Realm.

This speed greatly shocked it.

The crystal skull was also greatly shocked. Its soul flames became dull, flickering for a long time.

After Black Skeleton and White Skeleton both spoke, it opened its mouth with difficulty and said in an incredulous tone, “How can there be anyone who can cross to the Immortal King Realm in such a short period of time? If news of this gets out, it will make those people who have cultivated bitterly for tens of thousands of years and haven’t been able to reach the threshold of the Immortal King Realm feel inferior.”

Lin Jiufeng was calm and composed. He wasn’t arrogant because of the praise, nor was he angry because of the doubt. His gaze wasn’t on the few skeletons in front of him.

He looked towards the depths of the Death Realm.

“I’m already Immortal King Lin now. Next, I’m going to enter the depths of the Death Realm with my full strength. Since the two of you follow me, I’ll help you two resist all dangers,” Lin Jiufeng said to Black Skeleton and White Skeleton.

The two skeletons were overjoyed. This was great. To them, this was the greatest joy.

“You want to swagger into the depths of the Death Realm like this?” The crystal skull heard Lin Jiufeng’s words and asked in shock.

“Naturally, we have to speed up. I have the confidence of being invincible and also have transcendent means. Entering the depths of the Death Realm, I’ll naturally sweep through everything. From this moment on, I’ll continue to be invincible,” Lin Jiufeng said loudly. He was now confident. He planned to use the momentum of breaking through to the Immortal King Realm to constantly accumulate the faith of being invincible. With his invincible faith, he would sweep through the Death Realm, enter the mortal realm, and revive.

The crystal skull said, “You will definitely suffer a setback. The Immortal King Realm sounds very powerful, but in the depths of the Death Realm, Immortal Kings are nothing at all.”

“You don’t have to worry about that. If you cooperate with me and tell me some secrets, I can help you. But if you don’t cooperate with me, when we reach the depths of the Death Realm, we will part ways. You are just a skull now, wanting to find your skeleton body is simply a pipe dream,” Immortal King Lin said to the crystal skull.

The crystal skull fell silent.

Lin Jiufeng’s words hit its fatal spot.

It originally wanted to persuade the two skeletons to bring it into the depths of the Death Realm by promising them benefits.

But looking at the respectful looks the two skeletons had towards the newly promoted Immortal King Lin, the crystal skull knew that this plan had already been destroyed.

“Go ahead and ask. I will tell you everything that I know.” The crystal skull compromised. Under Immortal King Lin’s gaze, it knew that it had no choice but to compromise.

Now that Immortal King Lin had become strong, his aura was also powerful now. Compared to the previously calm and collected Lin Jiufeng, he now had an additional domineering aura, an aura of supremacy.

“Alright, then let’s go to the depths of the Death Realm now. Let’s ask as we walk.” Lin Jiufeng began to jump up. Flames flowed around him as he headed straight into the depths of the Death Realm with Black Skeleton, White Skeleton, the bronze tablet, and the crystal skull.

Wild winds howled, death energy swept up, dark clouds covered the sky, and the huge bone bird was incomparably ferocious.

Boom!

But Lin Jiufeng only passed by it. The immortal king flames around him burned this ferocious bone bird, not even leaving its ashes behind.

This was just an insignificant matter, it couldn’t delay Lin Jiufeng’s journey. Under the guidance of the crystal skull, he advanced rapidly.

On the way, Lin Jiufeng asked the crystal skull, “Do you know about the Well of Heaven Ascension?”

The soul flame of the crystal skull jumped as it asked in surprise, “How do you know about the Well of Heaven Ascension?”

Lin Jiufeng said, “I heard it from a dead skeleton.”

“This isn’t a secret in the depths of the Death Realm, but in the periphery of the Death Realm, not many skeletons know about it,” the crystal skull said.

“I’m from the periphery of the Death Realm, I don’t know about it,” Black Skeleton said bitterly.

“+1! ” White Skeleton silently agreed. It didn’t know either.

“The Well of Heaven Ascension is a mysterious well. It exists in the depths of the Death Realm, but no one knows its exact location. Moreover, very few people know about that well. Also, those who have seen it are either dead or have left the depths of the Death Realm,” the crystal skull explained.

Now, it no longer pretended to have lost its memory.

Its soul was a complete one. It was just that after so many years, it had gradually weakened. Until now, there was only a wisp of soul flame left.

Previously, it even pretended to have lost its memory and said that its memory would slowly recover.

But now that Lin Jiufeng had become Immortal King Lin, it couldn’t pretend anymore. Therefore, it might as well stop pretending and say whatever it knew.

“You just said that some died and some left the Death Realm through the Well of Heaven Ascension?” Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. He grabbed the key point and asked carefully.

“That’s right.” The crystal skull nodded.

“How did you know that some people had left? Didn’t you say that the Well of Heaven Ascension couldn’t be found?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“The person who went out was someone I knew when I was still a weak skeleton. Other than me, no one else should know about this matter, but I’m certain that she left the Death Realm through the Well of Heaven Ascension,” the crystal skull said affirmatively.

Lin Jiufeng was quickly moving towards the depths of the Death Realm. His mental strength was highly focused as he observed the scenery along the way. Lin Jiufeng also divided a portion of his energy to communicate with the crystal skull while moving.

He was very good at multitasking.

“I personally experienced this matter, so I can tell you guys about it.” The crystal skull recalled the past, its tone carrying a trace of emotion.

Lin Jiufeng listened quietly.

The two skeletons were both good listeners, waiting for the crystal skull to tell the story.

“Many years ago, I was still a little skeleton who didn’t know anything. At that time, I encountered a human!”

Lin Jiufeng raised his brows. A human?

Although he was surprised, he knew that a good listener wouldn’t interrupt a storyteller.

“It was only later that I learned that that person was also a spiritual body like Immortal King Lin, but unlike Immortal King Lin, she was a complete soul. She also wanted to enter the depths of the Death Realm, so she brought me along.”

The crystal skull explained in detail, its tone much gentler.

To the crystal skull, those were its best memories.

“Then it must be a woman,” Black Skeleton said.

White Skeleton nodded in agreement.

Lin Jiufeng also thought so. Only a woman could make the crystal skull’s tone become gentle.

The crystal skull admitted. “Yes, she was a woman and an extremely noble woman. She was born 20,000 years ago. Before you guys, that woman was like a king who descended into the Death Realm. In the beginning, she didn’t know anything. I was the one who guided her through the first few days. Then, she brought me into the depths of the Death Realm.”

The crystal skull looked at Lin Jiufeng and shook its head. “Immortal King Lin, you said that you wanted to sweep through the depths of the Death Realm, but in fact, 20,000 years ago, she had already done it. She single-handedly suppressed countless skeletons in the depths of the Death Realm to the point that they trembled from fear. Her aura was so terrifying. But it has actually only been less than a year since she was born in the Death Realm.”

“In one year, from a girl who didn’t know much, she became a woman. Then, she became a King and entered the Immortal King Realm. With a slap, she easily shattered an invincible faction deep in the Death Realm,” the crystal skull said proudly.

Lin Jiufeng listened silently. As he advanced, he raised his palm and looked carefully. A slap of his seemed to be able to destroy a faction too.

The crystal skull didn’t see Lin Jiufeng’s action. It continued, “I personally witnessed her suppressing all the enemies in the depths of the Death Realm. Each of them was trembling under her pressure. She only used a short year to become the King in the depths of the Death Realm!”

“Everyone calls her the King of the Netherworld!”

The crystal skull said proudly.

“So during this period of time, you’ve been following this King of the Netherworld, right?” Seeing that he had stopped, Lin Jiufeng took the opportunity to ask.

“Yes, maybe it’s because I guided her when she just came to the Death Realm, so she’s very good to me and has always brought me along,” the crystal skull said excitedly.

“But…” After the excitement, it became depressed. The crystal skull said helplessly,” I remember very clearly that the King of the Netherworld didn’t have a single friend in the Death Realm. She also didn’t like to befriend other skeletons. She has always been very lonely. Even to me, it’s just repaying my kindness to her. ”

“And for this relationship, she used a lot of resources to compensate me. It was at that time that I began to improve by leaps and bounds.”

“But the good times didn’t last long. After she defeated everyone in the Death Realm, she began to look for the Well of Heaven Ascension. Then, she gradually disappeared in the Death Realm.”

“As time passed, everyone said that she had already died, that she was killed by the Well of Heaven Ascension.”

“Some people also said that the King of the Netherworld was cursed. Although she’s very powerful, the backlash was also huge. She’s suffering the consequences now.”

Speaking up till here, the crystal skull fell silent. Its soul flames were blazing, clearly accumulating anger.

“I don’t believe in those words. I believe in what you said. What happened after that?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

Black Skeleton and White Skeleton were also very curious. They listened quietly, not daring to interrupt.

The crystal skull said, “The outside world is just guessing, but I saw with my own eyes that she opened the Well of Heaven Ascension and left the Death Realm.”

“Before leaving, she left me some words,” the crystal skull said faintly.

“What words?” Lin Jiufeng asked curiously.

“She said that she quite likes the title of King of the Netherworld, but she has another title,” the crystal skull said.

“Another title?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the crystal skull expectantly.

“Her other title is the King of Gods!” The crystal skull directly said.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng instantly stopped. He couldn’t control the aura around his body. Endless flames directly shook and burned for hundreds of miles!

“King of Gods?” Lin Jiufeng looked at the crystal skull in disbelief. He didn’t expect that the other identity of the King of the Netherworld was actually the King of Gods of the God Race!
