Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1127: Chapter 161-162: Netherworld

Suddenly.

A black hand suddenly stretched out from the bronze gate, directly grabbing towards the Bai Emperor.

Upon seeing this.

The Bai Emperor’s face changed drastically.

Without thinking, he slashed forward again, attempting to sever this space and time.

However.

The black hand seemed to easily traverse through space and time, effortlessly capturing him and pulling him into the bronze gate.

After the Bai Emperor was pulled inside.

Elder You waved his hand, the bronze gate dispersed, transforming back into the Bronze Ancient Lamp, while the previously suspended green flame returned inside the lamp, now dimmer than before.

Is it done?

Just like that, a Divine Lord was resolved?

Shen Changqing’s face was astonished.

The anticipated earth-shattering battle did not occur, a Divine Lord was dragged behind the bronze gate without any sound.

Reflecting on the ominous aura of the bronze gate, and the eerie black hand, an intense dread arose in his heart.

The unknown.

Is the most terrifying.

Whether it’s the bronze gate or the black hand, Shen Changqing knew nothing of their origins.

But seeing the ease with which it could drag a Divine Lord inside, the terror of the bronze gate and black hand was apparent.

However—

The truly frightening one is this elderly man before him.

Looking at Elder You.

Shen Changqing’s eyes already had a look of reverence.

A reverence for strength.

He never expected, this old man residing in the Desolate Cave possessed such power.

"Elder You, is the Bai Emperor dealt with?"

Shen Changqing couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this.

Elder You slightly shook his head, hoarsely said: "A Divine Lord wouldn’t fall so easily, I just trapped him in the Netherworld, but whether he can come out depends on his strength."

Netherworld?

Shen Changqing was stunned.

Seeing his confusion, Elder You patiently explained.

"The so-called Netherworld, it’s where the dead belong, existing behind the Heavens, ordinary beings can only enter upon death, similarly, entities from the Netherworld can’t easily enter the Heavens.

And just behind the bronze gate was where the Netherworld resides."

A gentle breeze swept past.

The flame within the Bronze Ancient Lamp grew even dimmer.

The resting place of the dead!

The reverse side of the Heavens!

Only now did Shen Changqing realize he’d overlooked a matter.

In his past life, there was the legend of the Underworld, all beings from Heaven and Earth would reincarnate there upon death.

But here, he’d never heard of reincarnation.

Shen Changqing thought reincarnation didn’t exist here.

Yet now it seemed, he had misunderstood.

The so-called Netherworld.

Was the Underworld of his past life.

However.

The Netherworld exists behind the Heavens, inaccessible to ordinary Cultivators, and from Elder You’s words, entering and leaving the Netherworld is quite challenging.

Perhaps this is why the concept of Netherworld isn’t widespread.

But for those top-tier experts, the Netherworld is no secret.

Otherwise.

Why would the Bai Emperor show such expression seeing the bronze gate.

Just then, space suddenly twisted violently.

Boom—

The twisted space shattered.

A blood-stained figure emerged from behind the shattered space.

That figure.

Was none other than the Bai Emperor who had recently fallen into the Netherworld.

But compared to his previous composed demeanor, the Bai Emperor now was terribly disheveled, lacking the majesty of an Emperor or Divine Lord.

After breaking out of the Netherworld, the Bai Emperor’s golden eyes were cold, he fiercely stared at Elder You and Shen Changqing, his murderous intent evident.

"I want you dead!"

He suddenly struck with a powerful blow.

Elder You’s expression slightly changed, he pushed the Bronze Ancient Lamp forward, the two forces collided, the lamp quivered intensely, and he himself was shaken back.

Upon seeing this.

The Bai Emperor stepped forward, the Rule Long River broke through the void, and punched again.

But this time, his target wasn’t Elder You, but Shen Changqing.

A Divine Lord’s strike.

Is said to be capable of destroying Heaven and Earth.

Before the fist even fell, the surrounding void was already shattering, a supreme force pervaded, forcibly immobilizing his figure.

Shen Changqing’s face was horrified.

At that moment, a shadow of death loomed in his heart.

Can’t block it!

Will die!

Upon this realization, Shen Changqing could no longer hold back, he forcefully activated his Divine Power, triggering the Universe Moving Talisman he clenched tightly.

As the white light emerged, the Divine Lord’s power already fell.

Boom—

The terrifying force pierced through the void, descending down.

Instantly.

Mountains collapsed, rivers ceased.

Countless beings were affected and directly perished in the Divine Lord’s strike.

——

In the barren and ancient valley, occasionally, fierce winds howled past.

The wind was like a blade, able to tear space apart effortlessly.

White light flashed.

As the light dissipated, Shen Changqing’s figure appeared there.

"Where is this?"

He looked around, seeing only desolation, no sign of life.

Not just that.

The barren valley had no sign of life, not even ordinary vegetation.

As if.

This was a land where no grass could grow.

Promptly.

Shen Changqing spread his Divine Sense, trying to understand his surroundings.

As the Divine Sense gradually extended in all directions.

Whoosh—

Once again a fierce wind surged.
