Chapter 399: The Nether Clan

"This is the location of the Face Clan."

Li Heng said softly.

An Yu's gaze was strange, her heart shocked.

One must know, the location of the Face Clan had always been hidden, and it had already been shielded from the secrets of Heaven, making it impossible to calculate. Yet now, Li Heng had found the location of this clan directly.

Could this Venerable One truly be of the Creation Realm?

Originally, she had been somewhat wavering.

But now, that seemed unnecessary.

"Venerable One, this clan is named Nether, but its origins cannot be verified. It is said that they suddenly appeared inside a Rift one day and displayed terrifying strength."

An Yu spoke respectfully.

"Nether, that is quite fitting; graves are everywhere."

Li Heng smiled lightly.

Following that, he waved his large hand.

In the land of graves where countless faces floated, one face looked triumphantly at the others and said, "You don't know, I have already performed a great service. Once the Old Ancestor returns from scouting, I will surely become the clan leader and make our clan Great again!"

The other faces were filled with envy.

They spoke one after another, saying, "If you become rich and noble, do not forget us."

"Don't be angry, either. Who told you your luck wasn't as good as mine? I have scouted out a brand-new Heaven and Earth, and it contains much flesh and blood."

"So don't be jealous; there will be benefits for you."

This face continued to speak, intending to buy their hearts.

The other faces secretly hated it in their hearts, thinking, look at how arrogant this brat is; it's just good luck, after all. But... if only they had gone out to search for a brand-new Heaven and Earth themselves.

Then, the next moment, a Disaster descended.

A terrifying, long, and vast arm suddenly appeared in this land of graves, sweeping across the mounds with an unstoppable force, shattering the Weirdness of this place.

The crowd of faces had not yet reacted.

Half of the graves in this place had already been leveled.

But because of this, the Weirdness of this place erupted completely.

The sound of weeping at graves, the laughter of women, the cries of old men—every sound entered the ears. Red blood, fresh blood, and black blood mixed into a Weird river of blood; the graves stretched out palms, and paper money fluttered across the sky.

All kinds of Weird phenomena were resisting this arm.

However, all of this was in vain.

Under the sweep of the arm, all kinds of Weirdness were as fragile as bubbles; before even making contact, they exploded completely and turned into nothingness.

Finally, Li Heng swept through and annihilated this clan.

Everything was so relaxed and at ease.

Below the Creation Realm, all are ants.

But Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

Because he did not sense any Source Power being credited.

With a slight thought, he used Source Power to bolster his eyes, piercing through the falsehood.

Instantly, a behemoth with a massive form, so transparent that it appeared almost formless to the point of nothingness, was revealed before Li Heng's eyes. And inside this behemoth existed those faces he had just annihilated.

However, these faces were also constantly fading and disappearing.

Or rather, they were merging into the body of this behemoth.

Li Heng was somewhat surprised; what was this?

He could sense that the realm where this behemoth was located was not the same as this place; it was like two parallel lines that never intersected, similar to the realm of the living and the kingdom of the dead.

He even felt that even if he exerted his full strength here to shatter the galaxy, it probably wouldn't affect this behemoth.

If not for the fact that he had used Source Power of an extremely high essence to bolster his sight.

Even as a Creation Realm expert, he would not have been able to see this thing.

Li Heng pondered in his heart; he was certain that his strike just now had completely annihilated and leveled those faces and this place, and there was absolutely no reason for those faces to have survived.

Which meant that these faces were definitely dead, without a doubt.

But since they were dead and annihilated, why did they still exist, and why were they constantly merging into the body of this behemoth? They weren't killed completely? But that shouldn't be.

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think of the name of this clan.

"Nether"!

Li Heng couldn't help but recall some classics, among which one named "Record of the Nether" recorded, "When a person dies, they become a ghost; when a ghost dies, they become a 'Zhi'; when a 'Zhi' dies, they become a 'Xi'; when a 'Xi' dies, they become a 'Yi'."

The "Classic of Morality" says even more:

"That which is looked at but not seen is called 'Yi', that which is listened to but not heard is called 'Xi'."

Was the behemoth before him a similar product?

Was it the state of the Nether Clan after death?

But since that was the case.

Why did the Old Ancestor of the Face Clan he killed earlier give him Source Power? Could it be that the Old Ancestor's bloodline was not pure, or did its strength exceed the boundaries of the race, making it not bound by the characteristics of the race?

Various speculations flashed through Li Heng's mind.

Li Heng had a bit of a headache; if he had known, he shouldn't have killed it so early.

Although this phenomenon was not very important to him, this phenomenon was strange enough that if he could explore its essence, he could also broaden his horizons, and perhaps even draw inferences about other things and advance further.

He discovered.

He could see this behemoth, but this behemoth seemed unable to see him; it stood quietly in place, constantly wriggling, allowing the faces within its body to constantly fade and disappear, while its own form was constantly growing larger, like a digestive process.

Finally, the faces disappeared completely.

This behemoth also became increasingly transparent and intangible.

Then, the next moment.

This behemoth moved, no longer remaining in place, but instead wriggling toward a dark, Unknown distance. Visually, this behemoth even passed directly through Li Heng's body.

Li Heng frowned slightly.

He could perceive that if he were willing to expend Source Power, he could Absolutely cross these two parallel lines that never intersect, injure this behemoth, or even kill it and obtain the Source Power.

But he felt this was somewhat unnecessary.

His current Source Power was calculated in trillions, while the meager Source Power of the Face-Clan was at most tens or hundreds of billions; even if he obtained it, it would be a drop in the bucket and of no help.

It would be better to play the long game, taking the opportunity to investigate this behemoth's origins, background, and where it was heading.

With this thought, he condensed a Source Power Mark.

Then, imperceptibly, he struck it into the behemoth's body.

Source Power is still the eternal god.

The mark stuck firmly inside the behemoth's body without falling off, and it did not let the behemoth notice, accompanying the behemoth as it headed toward the dark, Unknown distance.

"Exalted one?"

Li Heng stood frozen in place, and An Yu asked tentatively.

He came back to his senses and spoke calmly.

"It's nothing, let's go, head to the lowest level."

Hearing the big shot say so, the bewildered An Yu had no choice but to lead the way for Li Heng, along with the two little black people beside them who were still trembling in fear.

This time, it was also surprisingly smooth.

There was nothing blind enough to get in their way.

They were about to cross the bottom-layer area and go to the lowest level.

"This is the so-called certain-death lowest level?"

Li Heng looked at the scene before him, somewhat surprised.

Because below him, in the lowest-level area, there was a golden light hole, emitting light that even became the light source for this lowest-level area, making it look incredibly bright.

An Yu was also somewhat confused.

Was this definitely the lowest level, and had they not gone the wrong way?

But they still had to scout the path.

After thinking for a moment, Li Heng took out that Heaven Sword Token, and the Grudge Slave that had a strange connection to the Heaven Sword Token arrived instantly, then stood before the Heaven Sword Token like a wooden puppet.

"Enter this light hole."

Li Heng issued the order to this Grudge Slave.
