The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

110. Setting Out

Translator: Joy

According to the legends, Fire Stealing was the highest level of fire property cultivation methods.

However, Feng Xi felt that the name of this set of techniques sounded like it came from some fake cultivation method. Try imagining: you were walking on a wide road and you saw a sage-like old man walking towards you. He said: “I’m an immortal, I have cultivated through divine methods.” How eerie that picture would be!

Feng Xi didn’t think much of it because he had really encountered this in his previous life.

Of course, in his past life, he wasn’t deceived. On the contrary, he robbed all the valuables from the foolish Taoist priest.

Although the name was not nice, it still was an extremely high level technique. This cultivation method was different from the Profound Art as it could not be accumulated all on one person. Only a single cultivation method could be learned at a time. If a better one was found later, it could be replaced but the cultivator would have to start from the beginning. Therefore, if cultivators could find a high-level cultivation method to start with, not only would it help with their cultivation, they would be much stronger than their peers at the same cultivation level.

The King of the Netherworld certainly did not give Feng Xi a low-level cultivation method. While Feng Xi disliked the name, Fire Stealing was still a God Stage high-level cultivation method. So Feng Xi was no longer dissatisfied.

The essence of wood had already accumulated in his body, and it was of a gentler disposition, so Feng Xi could cultivate the Fire Stealing method while turning the essence of wood to an equivalent amount of energy. Luckily, he had ten more days in the Flower Sea and with the help of the King of the Netherworld, Feng Xi quickly finished cultivating the Fire Stealing techniques.

Thanks to the energy from the essence of wood, Feng Xi’s veins became stronger compared to before. The crystal-like emerald green energy merged with his flesh, causing his skeleton and blood to change considerably. The jade-like energy that pulsed through his veins and blood resembled that of blooming flower buds. His cultivation level also increased exponentially, and he was able to break through the God King realm and become an expert in the God Sovereign realm.

If other people heard about the speed at which he cultivated, they would probably all faint.

Other cultivators started cultivating when they were young and had to work very hard for a little bit of success. However, Feng Xi, who started cultivating when he was nineteen, became an expert of the God Sovereign realm in less than a year, leaving everyone else in the dust!

Four days became more than forty days in the Flower Sea and the time finally passed under Feng Xi’s expectant gaze.

After leaving the Flower Sea, he finally understood how fresh the air was outside and how beautiful the world was.

Even if god gave him a choice, he probably still wouldn’t have the leeway to choose.

The last day quickly arrived. Feng Xi originally wanted to be the last person to arrive at the meeting place because he wanted to gracefully introduce himself. However, when he nonchalantly emerged in front of the crowd, he found out … that there was still a person slower than him, Carendra.

The spacious Heaven Peak Palace with its beautiful and exquisite sculptures, was not a place that people could imagine entering in their entire lifetime. The Green Nether Hunting Group that was formed by Nangong li were rendered speechless one by one. When a young boy wearing an exquisite Chinese outfit was introduced by the four maids, his familiar face immediately shocked them to the core.

If they still couldn’t figure out the identity of the boy, then they wouldn’t be able to live. Stunned, they looked at each other gratefully. Luckily, it wasn’t them that clashed with the boy. Otherwise, ten thousand lives wouldn’t be enough to guarantee their survival.

Since Carendra was in seclusion refining the Fruit of the World, he was a bit late. However, he was still able to arrive on time .

When he appeared in the palace, many people were shocked by the pressure he exerted. In four short days, he was able to leap from the sixth grade of the God King realm to an expert of the God Sovereign realm. The people of the Green Nether Hunting Group worked hard to cultivate but even members who were much older than Carendra only reached the eighth grade of the God King realm after much effort. They thought that their speed was impressive but compared to him, their achievements seemed ordinary.

“Carendra, you’re amazing. You broke through already.” Feng Xi, who was on the same level as him, naturally was able to sense the pressure Carendra was emitting.

When he heard this, Carendra’s eye twitched. He lowered his head and said coldly while wiping his Black Blade: “You are not bad. It seems your results are better than mine.”

“Really? I thought so too.” Feng Xi laughed. By following what Carendra said, he was able to praise himself.

Carendra instantly closed his mouth and didn’t say anything else.

“Is everyone here?” The voice of the King of the Netherworld resonated through the palace, breaking the silence.

“Everyone should be here.” Feng Xi said while scanning the crowd. Although he didn’t know how many people there were supposed to be, at this time, the people that needed to be there should’ve already arrived.

The other people were startled by Feng Xi’s answer. They knew that if it were them, they wouldn’t dare to answer the King of the Netherworld in that manner.

“Your mission this time is located in the northern territories of the God and Demon Kingdom. You are to hunt and kill an expert of the God Sovereign realm who is associated with Ice Valley. This mission is of the highest priority. If it is completed, everyone will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. Carendra will inform you of the situation. Get ready to set out!” The King of the Netherworld said intimidatingly while his words were indifferent yet straight to the point.

Besides Feng Xi, Carendra and the others immediately bowed and replied in unison: “Yes, Your Majesty!”

After his surroundings went silent, he finally realized what was going on and shouted what was previously said, “Yes, Leader… No, Your Majesty!”

Carendra’s eyelids twitched.

The members of the Green Nether Hunting Group were all dumbstruck.

Soon afterwards, Uncle White appeared and led the group of people to the Transmission Ritual.

Feng Xi was still immersed in his role-playing so he was the last person to leave. He turned his head and looked at the King of the Netherworld, who was sitting at his crystal desk. He waved his hand and shouted: “Leader, when I successfully return, you have to prepare a table full of treasures.” Here, the treaures naturally referred to the ones that could be exchanged for crystals.

The King of the Netherworld nodded with a smile: “Go, remember not to run off by yourself.”

Feng Xi nodded with certainty: “Don’t worry, if I do run off, I’ll let everyone know beforehand.”

Everyone else. “…”

The Transmission Ritual of the Heaven Peak Palace was able to send them directly to the God and Demon Kingdom. Since the King of the Netherworld built it himself, and Uncle White regularly maintained it, the Transmission Ritual had been well preserved. Furthermore, these arrays were surrounded by energy clusters. It was the type of energy cluster that Feng Xi had once accidentally broken. Each energy cluster’s power was enormous and could ensure that the Transmission Ritual could remain  in use for thousands of years without being exhausted.

At that time, Feng Xi did not speak anymore. After everyone entered the Transmission Ritual, Uncle White activated it from the outside.

A white beam of light suddenly shot out of the Transmission Ritual as the teleporting runes on the ground came to life and immediately enveloped the people within it …

The blazing sun hung high in the sky like a burning ball of fire.

The earth was scorched as if it was cooked and the vast plains showed a deep red colour. The vapour generated from the heat continuously rose from the ground while the air was steaming as if some fire spirits were having too much fun. Sweat poured down the people passing through this red plain and their bodies were completely soaked by their own perspiration.

In comparison, the northern area of the God and Demon Kingdom was not as peaceful. Due to the weather, many people were both impatient and short-tempered and would start fights for no particular reason. As a result, fighting and killing weren’t uncommon. These types of situations intensified and became worse especially after the Ice Valley was abruptly established there.

Ice Valley was a second-grade force in the northern area. They originally had one expert in the lower grades of the God Sovereign realm. But after a mysterious high-grade expert of the God Sovereign realm was added to their ranks, Ice Valley jumped to a first-grade powerful force.

The originally settled Ice Valley suddenly started to attack the forces in their vicinity. After conquering their territories, they completely wiped out all the forces there within a month. Among them was a first-grade force led by a high-grade expert of the God Sovereign realm. Nobody thought that they would meet their tragic end at the hands of Ice Valley.

The Sura Family was located very far from Ice Valley. Originally, they believed that if the Ice Valley wanted to attack them, it would take at least half a year to get there, but unexpectedly, they arrived within a month. Since they had to travel a long distance, Ice Valley didn’t send very many people. The strongest cultivator was at the second grade of the God Sovereign realm, the leader of Ice Valley, Bing Leiting.

Bing Leiting looked like an honest and kind person, but in reality, he was a cruel, treacherous and scheming crook.

Since he travelled a long distance and personally brought over people, the Sura family didn’t need to guess why he came. Undoubtedly, they came for the Life River. They didn’t know how Bing Leiting found out about this secret because they had been hiding it for hundreds of years without anyone discovering it.

Bing Leiting didn’t want to reveal the existence of the Life River, so he only brought a few experts. However, he had confidence that the ten or so people from Ice Valley would be able to defeat the Sura Family. As a result, he didn’t directly attack the Sura Family, but gave them one month to think it over. After one month, it wouldn’t matter what they had decided, and the Life River would be his.

Today was the day before the month was up, but Bing Leiting had already appeared in the sky above the Sura Family and a thunderous sound resonated over a circumference of 100 miles.

“Sura Family, my patience is running out. I only need one answer, will you surrender or not!”
