Chapter 514
"Splash~"
Although the Netherworld Deer's speed was very fast, Ghost King Su Mingyue's full-strength blow did not directly hit Hua Changxi and the Netherworld Deer, but the force carrying the power of overturning the sea slammed into the Netherworld Waterfall.
In an instant, the waterfall surged backward, stirring up layers of snow waves, pouring over the Netherworld Deer and Hua Changxi, soaking them thoroughly.
The Netherworld Deer was completely unaffected by this, shaking its wet fur, as if it had just taken a cool bath in the torrent.
But Hua Changxi was miserable.
After all, she is a human. The cold in the Nether River water has a serious erosive power on the flesh body, drilling crazily into the pores. That kind of pain is like strong acid being poured down, instantly burning every inch of skin, and it feels like countless ice knives scraping between the bones.
The severe pain caused her flesh body to spasm violently uncontrollably, and even her soul body trembled endlessly because of that extreme cold.
Not only that, the waterfall water also became violent and chaotic due to the impact just now, and the Netherworld Deer's pace going upstream became bumpy.
"Didn't they say that Nine Nether creatures wouldn't attack you?"
"It seems that some records in Nine Nether books cannot be completely believed."
Hearing this, the Netherworld Deer tilted its head and looked at Hua Changxi, with the words clearly written in its eyes: They are not attacking me, they are attacking you.
Hua Changxi: "..."
"Whoosh~"
As the remaining power of the Ghost King's strike dissipated, the Nether River Waterfall had already tended to be calm, and the water flow returned to stability. Who would have thought that this calm would only last for a moment.
Before the Netherworld Deer could carry Hua Changxi much higher, the waterfall flow under its feet suddenly became violent again without warning, as if an invisible giant dragon was turning over at the bottom of the water, stirring up countless waves.
Hua Changxi was shocked: "What's going on?"
In a flash of lightning, the various forces competing for the dark blue light cluster flashed through her mind, among which was the Nether River Race.
"It must be that a powerhouse of the Nether River Race is controlling the water force!"
Another wave of violent Nether River water slapped over, and the bone-chilling cold almost froze people.
Hua Changxi couldn't care about being soaked, looking at the Netherworld Deer under her with anxiety.
At this moment, the Netherworld Deer's pace had clearly slowed down, its four hooves struggling to find purchase in the rapid counter-current, and every step of lifting its legs to step on the water to climb higher seemed a bit strenuous.
Must hold on, absolutely cannot fall down.
In order to "cheer" for the Netherworld Deer, Hua Changxi hurriedly promised: "After we get to the first level of the Nine Nethers, I'll give you another ton of Soul River water to drink!"
Hearing this, the Netherworld Deer was uninterested, seemingly not encouraged, its steps were still bumpy and strenuous, with no improvement.
Seeing this, Hua Changxi was anxious, quickly took stock of the resources on her body, and quickly reported a series of rare soul plant names, trying to encourage the Netherworld Deer.
Unfortunately, the Netherworld Deer still had no reaction.
Until she mentioned "Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit"...
The Netherworld Deer was like being injected with a stimulant, its eyes suddenly lit up, its originally bumpy steps instantly stabilized, and its speed increased quite a bit!
Hua Changxi: "..." I'm afraid this is a scheming deer!
As the Netherworld Deer recovered, it didn't take long for the one person and one deer to reach the Nether River Zhongyuan entrance on the first level of the Nine Nethers.
When her feet finally stepped on the solid ground of the first level of the Nine Nethers, Hua Changxi's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally fell back into her stomach with a "thump."
Watching the Netherworld Deer swallow a Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit with heartache, she prepared to part ways with the Netherworld Deer.
This deer is too eye-catching. Walking in the hinterland of the Nine Nethers, she still has to keep a low profile.
However, when she looked up to examine her surroundings, she was completely dumbfounded.
What she saw was a piece of eternal darkness and desolation. Except for a Nether River that she couldn't see the end of, she couldn't distinguish east, west, north, or south.
"Do you still want to hear the *Soul Ballad*?"
"If you want to hear it, send me to the Nine Nether Central Great Rift."
Hua Changxi could only set her sights on the Netherworld Deer again, hoping it would be her foot power.
The Nine Nether Central Great Rift is exactly where the Demon Prison is located.
It is said that the terrifying abyss that spans the center of the Nine Nethers and tears through the Nine Nethers was formed when the four emperors at that time used supreme power to split it open when the Demon Prison was being built.
The Netherworld Deer seemed to be still savoring the intoxicating taste of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit, licking its mouth unhurriedly. Hearing Hua Changxi's words, it nodded in agreement without much hesitation.
Thus, under the dim and oppressive sky of the first level of the Nine Nethers, a figure flowing with dreamlike dark blue luster appeared.
It stepped on the wind with its four hooves, carrying a female cultivator in white as snowy as snow on its back, turning into a dark blue rainbow, shuttling rapidly in the high sky.
Wherever the one person and one deer passed, the gray clouds were torn apart.
The Nine Nether creatures lurking in the darkness below, after seeing this image, all stopped and looked up.
Occasionally, when the dark wind blew, they could vaguely hear some faint heavenly music.
On the way, the Netherworld Deer carried Hua Changxi across the Nine Nethers, which, as expected, attracted countless gazes of pursuit and exclamation.
"Is that the legendary Netherworld Deer?"
"Yes, that is the Netherworld Deer, exactly the same as the pattern drawn in the ancient books."
Soon, the news of the Netherworld Deer's appearance swept through the entire Nine Nether world like a tsunami, setting off stormy waves wherever it went.
From the banks of the Nether River to the ancient caves deep in the Nine Nethers, countless sleeping or lurking existences were awakened, and they all extended their divine sense, trying to capture that legendary figure.
The shock caused by this anomaly even penetrated through layers of obstacles, and even the humans at the Nine Passes of the Demon Prison received the news.
"Netherworld Deer?"
At the Dui Gate Pass, Wei Zhenjie and the human powerhouses' expressions all sank suddenly after hearing the news.
Compared to the shock and uproar in all parts of the Nine Nethers, what surged in their hearts was deeper worry.
The Netherworld Deer is known as the Nine Nether Dao Envoy, and its appearance generally means that a "Dao Lord" level powerhouse will appear.
The appearance of a Venerable-realm powerhouse in the Nine Nethers is not a good thing for humans.
At the same time, in the fifth level of the Nine Nethers, compared to the shock brought by the Netherworld Deer's appearance, the news of "a human" was like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly igniting discussions among the various races of the Nine Nethers.
The shock it caused even overshadowed the former.
It is said that a human disguised as a Soul Race member actually succeeded in snatching the key to open the Nine Nether Soul Realm under the eyes of the powerhouses of all races!
It is said that a human disguised as Lady Chi Yan sneaked into the Soul Nightmare Valley and stole ten Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruits from the Nightmare Tapir Demon King.
It is said that the mysterious Ghost Race member who was on a killing spree with the Netherworld Blade at the fourth level abyss entrance was also a human in disguise.
It is said that the Ghost Realm Fortress released shocking news that Lady Chi Yan had been murdered, and the murderer was a human disguised as a Ghost Race member.
It is said that on the Huang Quan Ancient Road, the mysterious Ghost Race member who destroyed Lady Bi An Hua's avatar was also a human.
These events, every one of which was a shocking event enough to make the Nine Nethers tremble, all pointed to a human.
A human actually sneaked into the Nine Nethers and stirred up trouble, simply not knowing whether to live or die.
The various races of the Nine Nethers have simultaneously issued the highest-level pursuit order, swearing to tear that daring human into ten thousand pieces to serve as a warning to others.
After the five people including Chu Junyi heard these rumors that were becoming more and more outrageous and bizarre, they looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a while.
Meng Ziyu was stunned and blurted out: "This is too exaggerated, right?" As he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Chu Junyi and the other three companions, with a trace of hope in his eyes.
"How many of these rumors... do you think are true?"
Chu Junyi was silent for a moment, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly: "Half true and half false. However, it is absolutely certain that the Ghost Race wants to use 'a human' to divert the Lord of the Huang Quan' anger."
A look of admiration appeared on Meng Ziyu's face, and he muttered: "Even if only one of those rumors is true, I want to meet that capable person."
"Being able to make the various races of the Nine Nethers so angry, such a capable person is truly..."
He was speechless for a moment, unable to find a suitable word to describe the shock in his heart.
Chu Junyi's eyes flickered. To be honest, he also wanted to know who that human was.
