Capítulo 1801: Chapter 1800: Forest of Death, Ascending as World Sovereign
“Boom!”
The strike was incredibly decisive, with no hesitation whatsoever.
The blade fell upon the Black Whale King, instantly slicing off a chunk of its flesh.
The Black Whale King roared in pain and anger.
Its eyes glaring furiously at Xu Zii.
But Xu Zii didn’t mind, just raised Tyrant Shadow once more, and said calmly, “Do you still want to test the sharpness of my blade?”
“You’re ruthless,” the Black Whale King snorted coldly.
But it still replied, “Up ahead is the Isle of the Dead Spirits, where the Lord of the Dead Spirits resides.”
“Is the Netherworld Realm really this small?” Xu Zii asked in surprise.
As a domain, other than the Black Whale Sea, he had only seen this one island.
This left Xu Zii a bit disappointed.
The Black Whale King explained, “This is the Forbidden Land of the Netherworld Realm, the private domain of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Of course, you won’t see any other islands here.
Just the small islands in our Netherworld Realm number in the millions, and the larger ones are countless.”
“I see, then do you think there’s any danger on the Isle of the Dead Spirits?” Xu Zii asked.
“The greatest danger, of course, is the Lord of the Dead Spirits himself,” replied the Black Whale King.
“Actually, the Isle of the Dead Spirits is mostly safe; as the resting place of the Lord of the Dead Spirits, no one dares to disturb him.
If there’s any threat, it should be the Forest of Death.”
“The Forest of Death?” Xu Zii frowned.
“That’s right, it’s a special space,” the Black Whale King replied.
“It’s said that all creatures who enter it never co out.”
“How do you know that?” Xu Zii retorted.
“Hundreds of years ago, so spiritual bodies wanted to leave the Inner Domain, and they approached the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
After learning of their intentions, the Lord of the Dead Spirits set a condition.
Anyone who could leave the Forest of Death would be free.”
said the Black Whale King.
“Even after hundreds of years, no spiritual body has managed to leave.”
This made Xu Zii a bit wary.
Because he knew that while the Lord of the Dead Spirits appeared to rule over everything in the Netherworld Realm,
those spiritual bodies also had a will of their own and would not easily submit to others.
Thus, the Lord of the Dead Spirits faced many challenges.
But, surprisingly, just a single Forest of Death stopped so many.
“If I pass through the Forest of Death, can I et the Lord of the Dead Spirits?” Xu Zii asked.
“Yes,” the Black Whale King nodded.
“Then where is the Teleportation Array in your Inner Domain?
If I want to go to Yao Pond, which way should I go?” Xu Zii decided to ask everything at once.
The Black Whale King shook its head and said, “You cannot see the Teleportation Array without eting the Lord of the Dead Spirits first.
The Netherworld Realm strictly controls the Teleportation Array.
This is to prevent spiritual bodies from escaping.”
“Understood,” Xu Zii had a plan in mind.
“I’ve told you everything I can; when will you let go?” the Black Whale King asked eagerly.
“Once the ferry reaches shore, you’ll have no more use, and I’ll let you go,” Xu Zii said.
This was just in case; if he released it early, what if the Black Whale King beca hostile again?
The Black Whale King did not object.
It was now like fish on a chopping board, at the rcy of others.
But inside, it sighed, losing the opportunity to capture Xu Zii and regain its freedom.
……
The ferry began to approach the shore.
Xu Zii gradually saw the scenery of the island.
In this decayed and deathly world, the island seed like a paradise.
The island wasn’t large, roughly several tens of thousands of square ters, with pleasant scenery and eternal spring.
Peach and plum trees had gnarled roots underground; a gentle breeze blew and spring water gushed softly from a fairy fountain.
Petals wafted through the air, seemingly never to disappear.
“I can’t set foot on the island, let down quickly,” the Black Whale King hurriedly said.
It seed very afraid of the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
Xu Zii didn’t say much, he landed on the Isle of the Dead Spirits, ferry and Black Whale King parting ways.
Though called the Isle of the Dead Spirits, the na didn’t match the scenery.
However, upon setting foot on the island, Xu Zii felt a discomfort in his heart.
As if creatures watched him at all tis.
“The Lord of the Dead Spirits, I presu,” Xu Zii raised his eyes around.
His Divine Soul gradually spread, wanting to sense other presences on the island.
Finally, indistinctly, he sensed a powerful aura on the other side of the island.
That aura seed to be asleep, difficult to detect yet full of oppressive force.
Xu Zii walked straight towards the direction of the aura.
Since he decided to et the Lord of the Dead Spirits, he had no reservations.
Besides, Xu Zii felt that although he had been attacked during his ti in the Netherworld Realm,
they were mostly tests, with no intent for lethal ambushes.
He felt the Lord of the Dead Spirits harbored little hostility towards him.
Also, in the Black Whale Sea, while sensing the ferry, he once saw an identical version of himself.
He wanted to clarify everything.
The Nine Domains were vast and infinite, with mysteries even he found hard to explore.
……
Passing between the beautiful peach and plum trees.
The fragrant scent of peach and plum blossoms pervaded, unknowingly leading one astray.
Anyone witnessing this paradise-like scene couldn’t imagine this was the Forest of Death.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Zii had already fallen into the Forest of Death.
Importantly, there were no signs whatsoever, not even a hint of killing intent.
Like the silent nurturing of rainfall.
From an observer’s perspective, Xu Zii had already fallen into the Forest of Death’s illusion.
But he himself did not realize it.
The Forest of Death was a land of illusions, fulfilling every desire and wish.
For soone of Xu Zii’s cultivation, it was hard to be led by illusions, which is why he had no defenses.
But within the Forest of Death, it could not only lower your guard but naturally amplify your greed.
The Forest of Death was a world tailored just for one person.
Xu Zii didn’t know how much ti had passed.
He lived a lifeti within the Forest of Death.
He t the Lord of the Dead Spirits, not only gaining the opportunity to go to Yao Pond, but even fought and subdued the Lord of the Dead Spirits.
In the days that followed, his realm advanced rapidly.
He soon unlocked the Three Flowers and divided the Three Corpses, destroying the Holy Court in one fell swoop.
He found that everything he did seed to be aided by divine force.
Even when it ca to challenging Heaven, he defeated Heaven itself, creating his own Epoch.
People revered him as the Dominator.
As he ascended to beco the world’s master, Xu Zii’s eyes suddenly cleared.
“An illusion?
Really brings back mories.
But falsehood is ultimately false.”
Xu Zii’s figure beca distorted, finally reappearing among the peach trees.
As if nothing had ever happened.
Only the endless peach blossoms drifted around him.
“I’m curious, even with no signs whatsoever, how did you see through the Forest of Death?”
A voice sounded in his ear.
