Just dozens of breaths later.
After absorbing the power of the Night Ghost Spring’s spring source, the old tree not only revived {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} but grew to a terrifying extent.
Its enormous trunk was awe-inspiring, piercing the clouds, with no visible treetop in sight.
But at the roots, a colorful archway appeared out of nowhere, its destination unknown.
Dongkui could clearly feel that it contained imnse power.
“Is this the passage to the Heavenly Realm?”
“That’s right. As long as we enter this door, the two of us can go straight to the Heavenly Realm.
But be careful—near the Heavenly Realm, the Great Dao Thunder will appear.
You must stay close to the sides of the passage to pass through and enter directly.
If you’re careless, you really could die and be erased from the Dao.
But you don’t need to worry too much, just follow closely.”
Ying Naiyan spoke the experience they had summarized last ti.
Dongkui nodded thoughtfully.
Indeed, ever since the Six Realms’ passage closed, going to other realms has been as difficult as climbing the sky.
Even with the Night Ghost Spring’s spring source and after defeating the Wangtian Tree Beings, it was still extrely perilous.
Really...
Wait, what does that have to do with ?
Dongkui suddenly turned her head and said seriously, “You don’t need to tell so much—I have no intention of going to the Heavenly Realm with you!
You go by yourself!”
Ying Naiyan raised her eyebrow slightly, teasing, “Really not going? Don’t you miss Ye Yu?”
“No, I really don’t!”
Dongkui began to roar, hoping to express her dislike of Ye Yu through this thod.
But before Ying Naiyan could say anything,
a repressed laugh ca from the distance.
“Who’s that?”
Dongkui and Ying Naiyan both turned sharply to look toward the shadows far away.
But it seed empty there.
“It’s all your fault, Third Brother, why are you laughing at such a critical mont?”
“Can’t help it, Boss, this food seems so lively, I’m drooling.”
“Don’t bla Third Brother, actually I’m drooling too, just holding back.
But since they’ve found us, no need to hide—let’s start enjoying the al!”
With the voices finishing,
three fat figures suddenly appeared.
They stood side by side, their huge bodies almost forming a wall.
Such conspicuous figures yet insisted on wearing black veils over their faces.
They looked ridiculous.
But Ying Naiyan couldn’t laugh at all, her face extrely dark.
“The Three Hungry Fiends of the Soul-Sealing Pool! How could they co to a place like this?”
Dongkui furrowed her brows slightly and asked doubtfully, “What, do you know those three?”
Then Ying Naiyan explained the origins of these three ghosts.
The eldest was nad Ting Yu, the second Fen Zhu, and the third Qu You.
Their nas sounded sowhat poetic.
But unfortunately, their nas had nothing to do with their actions.
These three brothers were absolute hungry ghosts.
Every day crying they were starving to death.
And since they ca from the Soul-Sealing Pool, they were originally known as the Three Hungriest of the Soul-Sealing Pool.
At that ti, all ghosts in the pool treated them as a joke.
But later,
the three brothers unexpectedly obtained an ancient cultivation technique.
They could devour fierce souls to strengthen themselves.
This skill perfectly matched their nature.
After cultivating, they began to wildly devour their kin in the Soul-Sealing Pool, growing their power.
A thousand years passed.
The three brothers made a considerable na in the Underworld.
They even accomplished devouring an entire ghost city in half an hour.
Hence their na—the Three Hungry Fiends of the Soul-Sealing Pool.
Long before the Underworld catastrophe, the three ghosts had already reached the Ghost King realm and were famous.
But then they disappeared for a long ti.
Forgotten by the Underworld, no one expected them to appear here now.
After hearing this story,
Dongkui’s face darkened.
Three Ghost King realm powerhouses?
Not to ntion just having survived a fierce battle and being exhausted,
even at their pri, they probably wouldn’t gain any advantage.
How infuriating to et them right now?
Ying Naiyan grabbed Dongkui’s wrist and said in a low voice, “Those three brothers are extrely troubleso and undefeatable. Let’s leave!”
This was not an excuse to make Dongkui leave with her.
They really were difficult to deal with.
Back in the dream,
Ying Naiyan had once fought with the third brother Qu You of the Three Hungry Fiends.
She deeply understood the terrifying nature of their cultivation.
Their enormous bodies contained tens of thousands of ghosts, ready to be summoned at any ti to heal their injuries.
Like the indestructible cockroach.
Moreover, their exquisite soul-devouring skill was extrely hard to deal with.
Faced with ordinary divine spells, they could swallow them whole to strengthen themselves.
This was why despite their notorious reputation in the Underworld, they were still alive and thriving.
Dongkui clenched her teeth but said nothing.
Go to the Heavenly Realm?
She really hadn’t considered it.
She had always stayed well in the Underworld.
To just leave and go to an unfamiliar environnt—
Dongkui truly felt unsettled.
The second brother Fen Zhu and third brother Qu You, upon hearing their conversation, imdiately beca anxious and wanted to act.
But the eldest Ting Yu raised his hand to stop them.
They were very anxious, saying hurriedly, “Boss, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear them say they want to leave? How can the food at your fingertips just slip away?”
“What’s the hurry? Don’t forget why we ca here.
Only immortals are delicious enough. Don’t lose the big for the small!”
Ting Yu sneered, then looked at Ying Naiyan and Dongkui and continued, “Ladies, if I heard right,
this place can lead to the Heavenly Realm, right?
If so, let’s make a deal. Let us enter with you.
I promise my brothers won’t eat you.
What we want to eat are immortals.”
Fen Zhu couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
But his eyes stayed fixed on Dongkui.
This female ghost was obviously a Ghost King realm powerhouse.
A truly nourishing al.
Fen Zhu really didn’t want to watch such a fine al slip away!
But the next second,
the voice of eldest Ting Yu sounded in his mind.
“Don’t be impatient. Once they bring the outside into the Heavenly Realm, they’ll still be our al, ready to be eaten anyti.”
Hearing this, Fen Zhu showed a bloodthirsty smile.
Ying Naiyan didn’t believe such childish lies.
The Three Hungry Fiends of the Soul-Sealing Pool had a notorious reputation.
No “food” they wanted ever escaped.
If they were really allowed into the tree hole, it would definitely be certain death.
So Ying Naiyan secretly scratched Dongkui’s palm, then rapidly retreated.
