321: Chapter 321 Heading to the Underworld

The Nether Ruins, Falling Phoenix Ridge, and Setting Sun Valley—these are the three great Forbidden Zones of Life in the Eastern Desolate Region!

Setting Sun Valley was swept through during the ancient era, so it is relatively safer.

Falling Phoenix Ridge and the Nether Ruins, however, are quite dangerous.

When Ji Taichang went to Falling Phoenix Ridge last time, he encountered a terrifying crisis and was targeted by the ancient Forbidden Zone Supreme, the Illusion Demon. If it hadn't been for 13th Ancestor Ye Qingci arriving in time, he would have been in danger!

"I am currently tied up with matters, so I cannot accompany you all to the Nether Ruins."

"However, with your strength, as long as you avoid the most dangerous areas of the Nether Ruins, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Even if some old geezers attack you, you have the life-saving means I left for you."

"This is a rough map of the Nether Ruins. Although it was left from the ancient era, it shouldn't be too different, as Forbidden Zones of Life rarely change."

Bai Shuixian formed a hand seal, using her magic power to construct a rough map of the Nether Ruins, with some areas marked in red.

Those were the sleeping grounds of the Supremes within the Forbidden Zone of Life!

The so-called Supremes are ancient powerhouses who have undergone Fusion with Immortal substances, such as the Illusion Demon of Falling Phoenix Ridge!

These Supremes are almost all powerhouses at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage.

Examples like the Black Scale Demon Saint, who possesses Mahayana Stage Ninth Level cultivation yet is able to possess a portion of Immortal substance, are extremely rare exceptions.

It is estimated that the Black Scale Demon Saint used some kind of forbidden method to ambush and assassinate a Supreme, seizing a portion of Immortal substance from the opponent's body.

Ji Taichang and his group quickly memorized this map, and even took out a Jade Slip to record it.

This is definitely a good thing.

"I will teach you one more Immortal... Spell. You can use this god-slaying nail to sense the whereabouts of other god-slaying nails within a certain range. In the future, you can also use this Spell if you want to find other Magic Treasures; as long as you hold a fragment of a certain Magic Treasure, you can cast this Spell."

Bai Shuixian pointed a finger at the center of Ji Taichang's forehead, transmitting a profound and extraordinary Spell to him.

Ji Taichang possessed six Supreme-grade talents, and his Comprehension Ability was astonishing; after a little pondering, he grasped the gist of it and achieved initial mastery.

"Thank you, Revered Master!"

After Ji Taichang and his group chatted with Bai Shuixian for a few more moments, they left Setting Sun Valley.

"Could this Senior Bai Shuixian... be a Supreme within Setting Sun Valley?"

Nan Yin couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Living in Setting Sun Valley, suspected of having Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivation—isn't this undoubtedly a Forbidden Zone Supreme?

"It is very possible."

Ji Taichang nodded.

In Ji Taichang's view, Luo Qingxian was an Immortal from the ancient era who was suspected of having achieved Ascension, but ended up appearing in Setting Sun Valley. She must have failed her Ascension and was hiding in the Forbidden Zone of Life, surviving by relying on Immortal substances.

Cai Ling opened her eyes wide: "But... if she is a Forbidden Zone Supreme, how could she appear in the outside world?"

"I heard that once you have undergone Fusion with Immortal substances, even your Clone cannot leave the Forbidden Zone of Life."

Ji Taichang rubbed his chin, also feeling somewhat puzzled: "Perhaps Revered Master is just different from ordinary Forbidden Zone Supremes."

After all, she had achieved Ascension.

...

The Nether Ruins.

This is the oldest place among the three great Forbidden Zones of Life in the Eastern Desolate Region.

It is said to be an ancient battlefield of Immortals and Demons, where countless powerhouses fell, leaving behind residual Immortal and Demon Laws, as well as endless killing Qi and lingering war spirits. It was sealed by the Laws of heaven and earth, becoming a Forbidden Zone that no one dares to step foot in easily.

But this is only a guess.

The Nether Ruins has existed for too long, older than any Holy Land in the Eastern Desolate Region; no one knows its true origins.

Similar to Setting Sun Valley, the Nether Ruins is not located directly on the land of the Eastern Desolate Region, but rather within a region of unknown Void Realm turbulence. The only entrance is located in a remote wilderness of the Eastern Desolate Region.

In the vast and boundless wilderness, there is a giant crack in the ground, pitch black, as if leading to an unknown abyss.

Cai Ling carried Ji Taichang and his group through the crack. The surrounding scenery twisted and transformed, and they appeared in an unfamiliar world.

Coming into view was a vast expanse of broken floating rock masses. The rocks were covered with traces of blades and swords, as well as dried essence blood marks. The sky was permanently shrouded in gray-black clouds, with no sun or moon to be seen.

This was a completely shattered land, like a pile of meteorites floating in the starry sky.

Fine fragments of Law floated in the air, releasing colorful light—gorgeous yet dangerous.

Unstable spatial cracks would occasionally appear beneath their feet. In the distance, many broken weapon fragments could be seen stuck in the rock masses, leaving behind a faint yet chilling aura.

Further in the distance was boundless darkness, oppressive and heavy.

"This place... is very dangerous!"

Lu Qingmeng, Nan Yin, Cai Ling, and Su Wanqing tensed up, feeling the wisps of terrifying Law aura remaining in the world, as if countless heavenly blades were suspended above their heads.

The higher the cultivation, the deeper the feeling!

If one were to use Law power here, it would very likely attract those residual Immortal and Demon Laws; even Mahayana Stage powerhouses would be in mortal danger!

Hum—

Ji Taichang picked up the god-slaying nail, formed a hand seal, and cast the Spell taught by Bai Shuixian.

An invisible fluctuation spread continuously.

"Found it!"

"Wait a second, this location..."

Ji Taichang's eyes narrowed as he discovered that the location of the other god-slaying nails was actually in the sleeping grounds of a Supreme!

He informed Lu Qingmeng and the others of the situation.

"That's right, it's normal for a Supreme treasure of this level to be taken by a Forbidden Zone Supreme."

"But how are we supposed to get the god-slaying nail from the hands of a Forbidden Zone Supreme?"

Lu Qingmeng, Nan Yin, and the others exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

Ji Taichang said: "Since we're already here, let's go and try."

The god-slaying nail is, after all, a Spirit Treasure. If they could collect the whole set, plus the exclusive forbidden incantation, the power of the god-slaying nail would definitely be more terrifying than the water moon immortal mirror and the endless sword casket.

The water moon immortal mirror and the endless sword casket are used for head-on combat.

Whereas the god-slaying nail can kill someone invisibly!

For this Supreme treasure, it is worth taking the risk to meet the Forbidden Zone Supreme.

"Alright, Revered Master."

Cai Ling flapped her wings, and guided by Ji Taichang, flew toward the depths of the Nether Ruins.

"Watch out!"

"There is a spatial crack to the front left, and also to the top right..."

"Never mind, I will lead the way."

Nan Yin frowned slightly.

She possesses an Ethereal Spirit Body and Innately wields the power of space, able to clearly perceive that within the seemingly empty Void Realm, there are actually a large number of spatial cracks spreading silently.

Once they got close, they would definitely be swept into them; at best, they would fall into the Void Realm turbulence and get lost.

At worst, their body and soul would be destroyed!

If it were an ordinary Mahayana Stage powerhouse, these spatial cracks would be fatal!

Although Cai Ling has the square inch chessboard, she does not control Space Law, so it is difficult for her to perceive the existence of spatial cracks.

Under Nan Yin's guidance, the group carefully bypassed one spatial crack after another.

Yet even so.

On the way, they encountered spatial cracks appearing abruptly several times, without any warning, which was very thrilling.

Fortunately, Nan Yin was proficient in this area, and working together with Cai Ling, she led everyone to rush out of the spatial cracks, turning danger into safety, and they continuously approached their destination.
