Chapter 342: Chapter 186: Ancestor of River Styx, Instantly Kills Ninth Realm

Translator: 549690339

Inside the heart realm, Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered as he saw the peaks of the material world ahead.

The grey tones couldn’t conceal the slightly twisted lines of the mountain peaks.

“What’s going on?”

Wang Qiutong also saw it, and was shocked.

She knew quite a bit about the heart realm by now, but why would the mountain peaks reflected in reality be twisted? It didn’t make sense at all.

“I’ve never seen anything like it!” Jiang Ming was also puzzled.

He grabbed Wang Qiutong’s arm and headed for Nameless Mountain, but encountered obstacles and couldn’t directly traverse to it.

They took a large detour, but it was basically the same.

“This should be a power from reality,” Jiang Ming judged, yet frowned, “The power of reality can affect the heart realm? Or there are creatures in the mountains that have the ability to enter our heart realm. No, this kind of twist is not from spiritual power.”

“What do we do?”

“Get out!”

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Ming and Wang Qiutong appeared and gazed at the peaks. His pupils shrank. The entire mountain was filled with immense killing intent and a gloomy, ominous aura within the heart realm.

“Wang, lead the way!” Jiang Ming said quietly, “You guys were really bold at the time!”

Wang Qiutong gave an awkward smile.

At that time, they also sensed something amiss but couldn’t resist the strong curiosity.

Moreover, they had real confidence.

Furthermore, they thought that even if there were dangers in the Lost Land, there wouldn’t be too many. How could they be so unlucky to encounter them?

As a result, an accident really happened.

The two moved forward following the same path they took before.

Jiang Ming carefully examined the surroundings, and there were indeed many dangers hidden here. From time to time, he could see terrifying fragmented runes.

He tested a few, and many of them reached the attack power of the Eight Realms.

They arrived at where the black tree had been killed once more.

The deep pit was still there, along with scattered skulls. Next to it was the silently flowing black river, and its stench was so strong that it made people dizzy.

“If one is below the Fifth Realm, inhaling once might cause them to be poisoned to death!” Jiang Ming frowned as he examined it, only to see a small snake burst out of the black river. It lunged at him, opening its small mouth and biting towards his neck.

“Black Snake of Underworld!”

Jiang Ming flicked his finger, and a Sword Qi flew out, killing the small snake and sending it crashing to the ground. It then turned into poisonous water and corroded the mud, making a sizzling sound.

“It really is the Black Snake of Underworld!” Wang Qiutong was surprised. There was a record of this kind of snake in the study of exotic beasts. The snake was small and slender, as black as ink, fast as lightning, hard as steel, had sharp teeth that could bite through alloy, and its poison was strong enough to easily kill those in the Fifth or Sixth Realm.

They generally grew in sinister areas, and if they were killed, the poison in their body would be released instantly, turning them into a thick liquid.

“Jiang Ming, look!” Wang Qiutong looked at the distant black river and her face turned pale.

In the distance, the quietly flowing black water suddenly raised a wave, and it swept towards them at a rapid speed.

That was not a wave, but a group of Black Snakes of Underworld.

“This place is really strange!”

Jiang Ming spoke as his Qi surged out of his body, mingling with the True Meaning of Fire, causing his Qi to burn with a raging fire in an instant.

The black water boiled, and the approaching Black Snakes of Underworld were killed one after another.

However, the evaporating poisonous water formed a black mist that refused to dissipate. Even Jiang Ming revealed an incredulous expression.

“With the fire you’re using, it can’t be completely burned!” Wang Qiutong was shocked, “Doesn’t that mean it contains the essence of a power stronger than the Eight Realms? No, it definitely surpasses the Eight Realms.”

As her words just fell, the black fog enveloped them.

It was like an enormous devouring beast.

“Interesting!” Jiang Ming revealed a serious expression. The flame turned into a dense white light, which was the power of purification, causing the black fog to twist as if encountering its nemesis and rapidly purifying it into nothingness.

The spreading white light caused the black river to boil violently.

The entire river seemed to come to life, contorting, struggling, boiling, and even letting out wailing sounds.

Then it suddenly shrank and rose into the air, turning into a black shadow.

“Is this river a living creature?” Wang Qiutong stared in disbelief.

“It should be!” Jiang Ming was also taken aback.

The Black River had disappeared, but underneath it, a large number of corroded bones remained, including animal bones.

The black shadow escaped from the range of the white light and twisted, turning into a human figure. He looked at Jiang Ming with both fear and anger: “Damn human, did my ancestor eat your family’s rice or sleep with your woman? How dare you try to purify me?”

“Who are you?” Jiang Ming asked in astonishment.

He had never encountered such a creature before.

Its body was either transformed into a river or it had achieved enlightenment through water.

“Remember this, I am the Ancestor of River Styx!” He waved his arms, and a dense darkness appeared above his head, covering the sky and descending towards the two of them.

“Ancestor of River Styx?”

Jiang Ming hesitated for a moment and cracked a smile.

If this being was from Honghuang, simply standing in front of it would cause him to be reduced to ashes.

“Pocket World Projection, Ninth Realm!”

Jiang Ming looked at the descending darkness and narrowed his eyes.

The thick darkness rippled with waves, as if the sea had arrived, bringing with it endless pressure.

Green light bloomed around Wang Qiutong, making her look like a fairy descending to the mortal world, transcending the mundane. The green light swirled around her, enveloping her within it.

The long sword in her hand buzzed, prepared for immediate action if necessary.

“Dark Heavenly Terror, go to hell!” The Ancestor of River Styx roared.

Jiang Ming watched in silence.

Apart from the descending Pocket World Projection, several Black Snakes of Underworld followed.
