Chapter 135: True Demons in the Mortal Realm, Bridge of Helplessness

After killing Ji Naihe, a heavy weight was finally lifted from Han Jue's heart. While answering doubts for his disciples and Grand-disciples, he kept an eye on the situation at the Demonic Path imperial city.

The moment Ji Naihe died, Blood Demon Ancestor and Greedy Demon Arhat were scared out of their wits and immediately fled.

Ji Naihe's strength was not much different from theirs, yet neither of them saw how he died. This meant that the person who made a move far exceeded them in strength; how could they dare to stay!

Immortal God Ji, whose kill was stolen, flew into a rage and began slaughtering Demonic Cultivators to vent his anger.

The Welcoming Demon Grand Ceremony was thus interrupted!

The Righteous Path Cultivators were saved!

Under Han Jue's instructions, Xing Hongxuan put the Heavenly Puppet back into her storage ring.

Cheers resounded across this dim land.

"Oh my god, what on earth happened!"

"A mighty figure made a move! They actually killed the Devil Emperor directly!"

"Was it killed by Immortal God Ji?"

"Definitely not, Immortal God Ji was scared just now!"

"Who on earth is it? Isn't the Devil Emperor a Mahayana Cultivator? Could it be that an Immortal made the move?"

"Heaven bless our Righteous Path!"

…

Su Qi and the Chaos Heavenly Dog froze in place.

They were still in shock; that streak of Sword Qi had just swept past the tops of their heads like a divine miracle.

Su Qi became ecstatic, clenching his fists and cheering incessantly.

"It must be Master!"

Hearing Su Qi's words, the Chaos Heavenly Dog froze and asked in surprise, "Did Master kill the Devil Emperor?"

Su Qi nodded and said, "It must be him. He has always been protecting me in secret, otherwise I would have died long ago!"

Hearing this, the Chaos Heavenly Dog couldn't help but feel depressed.

Why didn't Master protect me?

Deep down, it still didn't believe it.

"Let's slip away quickly, I want to return to Great Yan!"

Seeing that Immortal God Ji was still on a killing spree, Su Qi felt this was a good opportunity. After saying this, he turned around and left.

The Chaos Heavenly Dog hurriedly followed.

It didn't want to be a mount for Immortal God Ji either.

On the other side.

Han Jue had been observing the battle through the Heavenly Puppet, ensuring that the Yuqing Sacred Sect side was safe.

The death of the Devil Emperor dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Demonic Cultivators. How could they still care about the Cultivators on the altar? The Demonic Cultivators fled ateterminate sight of him, but Immortal God Ji pursued them relentlessly.

…

Returning to the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue sat cross-legged on the bed.

To celebrate this victory of the Righteous Path, Han Jue took out the book of misfortune and began cursing the Vermilion Bird and Daoist Jue Yan.

Half a month for each, doubled.

After the curse ended, Han Jue continued to Cultivate the ninth-layer Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Art.

After the Devil Emperor's death, the world should soon return to peace, allowing Han Jue to Cultivate in peace once more.

He had already told Xing Hongxuan through the Heavenly Puppet, advising True Person Jiuding to return early and not linger.

In less than a year, the death of the Devil Emperor shocked the entire world!

Just as Han Jue had guessed, the Aura of the Demonic Path directly collapsed!

Legends about Immortals in the mortal world began to spread, mainly because the Devil Emperor died in such an absurd manner.

He was instantly killed by a mysterious Sword Qi, and the process was full of drama.

Who the Immortal was and which Sect they came from became the biggest topic in the whole world. Many storytellers even fabricated all sorts of legends about it, varied and colorful.

…

In a dim space, surging thick fog permeated.

Xuan Qingjun half-knelt in the thick fog, and a cold voice rang out: "Ji Naihe is dead? You still don't know who killed him?"

Xuan Qingjun took a deep breath and said, "The two Mahayana Cultivators present at the time said that the other party did not show up. I suspect it was an Immortal god; this is not the first time Immortal gods have descended to the Mortal Realm without authorization."

Silence.

The cold voice did not sound again.

After a while.

Xuan Qingjun asked: "Must the Demon Race's plan to enter the Mortal Realm still be implemented? Previously, Ji Naihe already initiated the sacrificial ritual, and the Demon Race's Luck has approached the Mortal Realm. This matter has probably already alarmed the Immortal Realm. If it continues, I'm afraid…"

"Hmph, continue. Let the Demon Master come. There is already a true demon in the Mortal Realm, and this seat has already sent the Demon Master to search for that true demon. As for you, ascend as soon as possible."

"Understood!"

Xuan Qingjun replied. Lowering her head, her eyes flickered.

…

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

Han Jue finally mastered the ninth-layer Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Art. He did not comprehend any new Divine Abilities, but his cultivation speed was enhanced.

From now on, he could absorb the essence of the sun and moon and absorb Nine Serenities Spiritual Qi in the netherworld.

At the same time, he was still some distance away from the second layer of the Mahayana Realm.

Han Jue decided to go and take a look at the netherworld.

Not daring to go personally, he first created a Heavenly Puppet to test the waters.

If he reached the Perfection of the Mahayana Realm and was forced to ascend, he could first go to the netherworld to take refuge.

Half a month later, Han Jue successfully created a Heavenly Puppet.

Following that, he cast a spell, and a patch of black Qi emerged from the ground in front of the bed, with a stone gate inlaid with bizarre patterns rising up.

The Gate of Reincarnation!

This was a Divine Ability attached to the eighth-layer Mind-Cultivation Technique of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Art. It allowed one to step into the netherworld, absorb souls, and toss them into the six paths of reincarnation.

Enlightenment Sword widened her beautiful eyes in curiosity. Not daring to make a sound, she could only watch quietly.

Han Jue manipulated the Heavenly Puppet to enter the Gate of Reincarnation.

He then closed his eyes, placing his attention on the Heavenly Puppet.

After entering the Gate of Reincarnation, the Heavenly Puppet was engulfed by billowing black fog, unable to see anything.

Han Jue proceeded with caution.

This was his first time exploring the netherworld; there was no sunlight here, and it was incomparably dim.

As he walked, Han Jue felt running water appear beneath his feet, which made him even more nervous.

He spread out his Divine Sense and found that there was nothing around, but there was indeed water beneath his feet. This water was very bizarre; his Divine Sense directly dissipated upon touching it.

Water that could dissolve Divine Sense?

Could it be the legendary Yellow Springs water?

After a while.

Light finally appeared ahead, and Han Jue saw a bridge located in the thick fog above the water surface, unable to see the other end of the bridge.

At the head of the bridge stood an old woman. Souls continuously appeared out of thin air in front of her, taking the bowl in her hands, drinking it down in one gulp, and then stepping onto the bridge, disappearing into the fog on it.

The Bridge of Helplessness?

Meng Po?

Han Jue was curious in his heart.

Being vigilant, he turned around and walked in another direction.

He wasn't even going to be reincarnated, why would he go onto the Bridge of Helplessness?

Meng Po might be a mighty figure of the netherworld, and she could not be underestimated.

"Before life and death Reincarnation, you want to turn back?"

An aged voice reached Han Jue's ears. Upon hearing it, Han Jue immediately accelerated and quickly disappeared into the fog.

Before he had flown for long, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended, pressing Han Jue down into the water.

Han Jue immediately had the Heavenly Puppet self-destruct to prevent the netherworld mighty figure from using the Heavenly Puppet to trace his true body.

With a loud bang!

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue opened his eyes and immediately retracted the Gate of Reincarnation.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

The pressure just now was simply too strong. You must know that the Heavenly Puppet was at the Mahayana Realm cultivation, yet it was pressed flat to the ground by the pressure!

"This netherworld cannot be easily stepped into."

Han Jue thought with lingering fear.

Did the Gate of Reincarnation randomly connect to places in the netherworld?

Han Jue shook his head. Anyway, he didn't dare to try again.

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if the other party followed the Heavenly Puppet, locked onto his true body, and killed him across realms?

It wasn't impossible!

After all, to the netherworld, he was an anomaly.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Enlightenment Sword couldn't help asking.

Han Jue shook his head. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly felt the temperature rise, and the cave mansion became very hot.

Wait!

Could it be…

Thinking of a possibility, Han Jue instantly vanished from the bed.

Ah, the update is late, my fault QAQ Here comes a midnight bomb.
