Of course, Ye Chen didn't have such thoughts of seeking death. He was now worrying about how to cross the River Styx.
The vast Styx crossed in front of him like the sea, with a width of more than a million kilometers. Even for Ye Chen, who had manifested the body of a true spirit, it was extremely wide, and it was an insurmountable chasm for his opponents.
It is impossible to fly above the Styx River. This is a unique rule in the Nether Realm. Even if he reaches the eight-star true spirit level, he cannot avoid it, not to mention the army under his command. Standing by the river, he can clearly feel the current flowing above the Styx River.
The rules of the underworld have become almost substantive.
Standing by the river, I felt nothing. I could only see the turbid river water flowing by. Looking into the distance, I could vaguely see what seemed to be a huge shadow passing by in the distant river water. Unfortunately, the river water blocked my spiritual consciousness and could not be detected.
He stretched his hand into the top of the River Styx again, and immediately felt a terrifying pressure that even with his current strength could not withstand. He was completely unable to fly, and the strange rules on the river made it impossible to even travel through space.
Of course, it's just that he can't travel through space. It's no problem to bring all his subordinates with his own space. His current problem is how to cross the River Styx.
There was almost no need to guess. Just by seeing him, he knew that the River Styx was definitely not safe. There must be unknown and terrifying existences at the bottom of the river. In the depths of the River Styx, he was almost certain to have existences that were no less than or even better than him.
Fortunately, he has now condensed the body of the true spirit, and the spiritual form and physical body are integrated, round and leak-free, and he is not afraid of the erosion of the water of the Styx.
But swimming directly from the Styx River is the last option. If possible, it would be best to find a way to cross the river by the river.
He was not in a hurry now, and after announcing the news, he took out the Eternal Wheel, collected all the tens of millions of underworld soldiers and ghosts under his command, and flew upstream along the river alone.
The water of the River Styx is extremely turbid, like a yellow flood mixed with countless silt. From time to time, skeletons can be seen floating up and down in the turbid water. Occasionally, a twisted and resentful spirit rushes out of the water and bares its teeth and claws at him.
Flying tens of millions of kilometers upstream along the river at super fast speeds, he saw nothing. Ye Chen was not in a hurry and continued to move forward, passing through a hilly area from the plain. The terrain rose rapidly, and the huge underworld gave him
The terrain is even more exaggerated.
Starting from the end of the hills, the terrain rises, a slope extends for nearly ten million miles, and the turbid water of the Styx rushes down from the plateau millions of kilometers high.
Ye Chen flew along the river, and from time to time he saw a huge monster emerging from the water of the Styx, some of which exuded auras even more powerful than him.
It took less than an hour to fly to the top of the plateau. Looking up, Ye Chen was startled.
At the top of this plateau that is millions of kilometers high, there is endless flat land. At the end of the distant horizon, he saw a giant peak reaching the sky. The Styx River flows through the edge of the giant peak. On the other side of the Styx River, there is another tower with hundreds of mountains.
A giant peak measuring 10,000 kilometers in height.
Taking a closer look, they were not giant peaks, but two giant cities facing each other across the river, or giant cities built on giant peaks. From a distance, Ye Chen could see the overwhelming black spots between the giant cities, and
Even though they are so far apart, one can still see the outline of each huge figure.
But this is not the point. The point is that Ye Chen's strong eyesight saw a thick black line between the waists of the two giant peaks. It seemed... that it was a huge black rope connecting the two giant peaks.
Ye Chen's eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this the way he dreamed of safely crossing the River Styx? He immediately flew towards the giant peak on his side.
But soon he slowed down because he found that the two giant cities seemed to be fighting across the river. And as he slowly approached, he was shocked to find that the outline of the huge figure could be seen even from a distance.
Each one of them actually possesses power that is not inferior to that of the Eight-Star True Spirit. With just a cursory glance, he saw no less than twenty Eight-Star True Spirit-level ghosts and gods.
In other words, one hundred percent of these two giant cities will have at least one nine-star underworld lord, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress these powerful ghosts and gods.
This made Ye Chen hesitate, a little hesitant to contact him.
But soon he didn't have to hesitate anymore. A huge face suddenly appeared in the direction of the distant giant city, and then a powerful will that was even stronger than him now flew from the direction of the giant city and condensed in front of him in an instant.
A humanoid figure whose whole body was made of dark gold, with dim light flickering in its pupils, a rich man's voice sounded:
"Powerful descendant of humanity, how else are you going to cross the River Styx?"
Ye Chen saluted the powerful man in the underworld and said:
"Powerful Lord, as you guessed, I want to cross the River Styx."
"You can call me the Lord of Black Gold!"
This figure, which looked like a dark gold sculpture, got straight to the point and said:
"I can let you cross the River Styx, but you must serve me for a thousand years!"
Ye Chen frowned and was about to refuse when the Lord of Black Gold said again:
"Or do something for me that you can do."
"Speaking!"
"Kill an enemy of the same level as you for me!"
"Are they the subordinates of the lord across the Styx River?"
"Yes."
"make a deal!"
The two reached an agreement in a few words, and made an oath with the ubiquitous will of the underworld as the witness - Ye Chen killed the eight-star commander under the opposite scarlet lord, and then he could safely pass between the two large territories.
The boundary bridge across the Styx.
This is because Ye Chen has just been promoted to the Eight-Star True Spirit, and his concept of time has not yet changed. A thousand years is only equivalent to a ton for those True Spirit-level beings who have survived for tens or millions of years.
It passed quickly. On the other hand, it was extremely difficult to kill a being of the same level. Compared with serving a nine-star underworld lord, it was actually very uneconomical.
That is to say, Ye Chen only dared to agree if he had enough strength and confidence. Other eight-star true spirit ghosts and gods would not dare to agree to this condition casually.
After reaching an agreement with the Lord of Black Gold, Ye Chen gained the right to walk freely within the territory of the Lord of Black Gold. Except that he could not enter the Black Gold Palace at will and pass through the two black ropes, he was allowed to go anywhere else. At the same time, he received a notice from the Lord of Black Gold.
A piece of information was given to him, which contained a brief introduction to the Black-Gold Underworld, as well as detailed information about the Scarlet Lord opposite and the Scarlet Underworld.
The two nine-star underworld lords had nothing to do with each other tens of millions of years ago. They had no contact with each other since the River Styx was the boundary. However, as the two lords were promoted to nine-star existences, they began to covet each other's territory.
If you can defeat the opponent and seize the territory, and merge the two territories into one, you can monopolize this rare bridge connecting to the River Styx. The benefits you have cannot be ignored even by a nine-star existence.
