The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

261. A Glorious History

Translator: 飞弹

Demon Mountains was called the largest and longest mountain range in God and Demon Kingdom.

Crossing the East and West regions, Demon Mountains completely divided the Ocean World in the north from human beings. The only road that could lead to the Ocean World passed a huge town called Iron Fence, which was heavily guard. Although people who went in and out of the town would be checked, the main reason of setting the gurads was the tide of ocean beasts from time to time.

The North Region was vast, so anyone who wanted to go to Iron Fence or the Ocean World had to pass through Transmission Ritual.

Ever since the rise of Sura Family in the North Region, they had taken control of some of the Transmission Rituals in the North Region with the vigorous tactics of Lord Carendra. With the support of the veins of top quality ore in Emerald Dragon Mountains, Sura Family could completely open all the Transmission Rituals under their control.

Ever since word got out about the opening of the Transmission Rituals, the vagrants in the North Region and the cultivators in the other regions all rushed over. More and more cultivators went to the Ocean World. Everyone was very curious about the Ocean World. Of course, there were also some of them who wanted to catch ocean beasts in the sea. It was known that every part of the ocean beast was useful that it could be sold at least for five thousand crystals.

As long as an ordinary cultivator didn’t lead a too extravagant life, five thousand crystals could make him or her live a carefree life for two or three years.

That was why the Ocean World attracted more and more people. More importantly, when Transmission Rituals were in the hands of Hoare Family, the cost of teleporting was so high that ordinary cultivators couldn’t afford it at all. So very few of them had the intention to go to the Ocean World.

However, ever since Sura Family controlled the main Transmission Rituals, the cost of teleporting was only half as much as it was when it was priced by Hoare Family at that time.

It had to be said that Lord Carendra was very good at business.

It was indeed good to use the Transmission Rituals to make huge benefits, but they must think of whether cultivators could afford it. The cultivators in the North Region were mostly poor people. This vast land had a very low population density among the five regions. If Sura Family put up their prices again, the Transmission Rituals would fell go begging again.

Lord Carendra just knew the logic so he lowered the price of teleporting by 50%.

In this way, the news quickly spread through the whole regions. In addition, there were indeed someone who had captured the ocean beasts from the Ocean World and made a huge fortune, which attracted a large number of cultivators to the Ocean World.

Of course, not all the people who went to the Ocean World wanted to catch the ocean beasts in the sea. Some of them wanted to go to the the Ocean World to exercise themselves. It was known that the Ocean World was extremely dangerous, and the ocean beasts there were very fierce, whose bodies were also as sturdy as Demon Beasts, and they were also very bulky. If one cultivator wanted to test himself or herself, the Ocean World would be indeed a good choice. But the cultivators would be in danger there at any time.

However, there were also some people who would choose to go to the Ocean World without hesitation.

They were just fugitives from justice or those hunted by their enemies, that is to say, the people who had no shelters in God and Demon Kingdom.

This kind of people usually choose to live in the Ocean World because they couldn’t live in God and Demon Kingdom anymore, so the Ocean World world was the best choice for them, including the two mysterious powerhouses who had destroyed the Nether Family. However, they were different from those villains or fugitives who were fleeing. The two went to the Ocean World just to avoid one person.

Today, the Transmission Ritual on the platform specially built in Iron Fence was flickering with the bright light again.

Every day, all kinds of people would be teleported to the Transmission Ritual of the Iron Fence. Therefore, the vendors and the crowd around them had already been no stranger to it, and no one cared about the people who were teleported here.

When the guards of the Transmission Ritual saw someone being teleported here again, they stepped forward and was about to let the other side register with them. But the guards were suddenly stunned when they saw the person on the Transmission Ritual.

Iron Fence was an important border town, because it was on the only road to the Ocean World. There were many people coming in and going out of the town. The guards had seen all sorts of people, but they had never seen such a handsome man.

The man looked as if he had been carved out of marble, like a masterpiece outlined by nature’s hand. His eyes were like the deep ocean, as if he had the power to see through one’s mind. However, the most outstanding and dazzling part of his face was the gem on his forehead.

Even the sun couldn’t hold a candle to the dazzling light of the silver gem. It was inset into the man’s forehead, but it didn’t steal the show at all. Instead, the gem and the man’s beautiful face fit each other off beautifully, giving people a sense of perfection and making them marveled at him. “There would be such a perfect man in the world!”

There was a pretty young boy standing next to the man. Although the young boy wasn’t as flamboyant as the man, his aura was something that no one else could compare with. His blinking eyes were full of slyness and intelligence as if they could speak, but the most attractive things were his cute canine teeth, which came across as a very lively teenager full of vigor and enthusiasm.

The two of them quickly became the focus of attention in the crowd. Especially the dazzling man was destined to be conspicuous wherever he went. There was no more noise in a ten-meter area around the two of them.

The two guards watched in a daze as the man and the young boy walked into the crowd. It was already too late to stop them when the guards came back to senses.

“Boss, I didn’t expect Iron Fence to be so lively. It’s almost in the same ballpark as the Nine Gods City. Is it because of the Transmission Rituals built by Lord Carendra?”

The young boy was exactly Feng Xi. Originally, he and King of the Netherworld planned to return to the Netherworld after visiting Lord Carendra, but Feng Xi pulled King of the Netherworld to Iron Fence after he heard the news which was blazed all over the cultivators from the North Region recently.

Having lived on land since childhood, Feng Xi was very interested in the legendary ocean beasts.

This time, he managed to have some leisure. No matter what happened, Feng Xi had to come to see the ocean beasts. Feng Xi finally badgered King of the Netherworld into accompanying him to Iron Fence as a stroll. King of the Netherworld could also take a look at the Ocean World where he hadn’t been for many years to see what changes it had.

Thus, the previous scene just appeared.

“That’s only part of the reason. Iron Fence already existed ten thousand years ago, and its development history is even longer than that of Nine Gods City. Before the decline of the North Region, the prosperity of the Iron Fence had lasted for a period of time. At that time, countless cultivators went to the Ocean World and pushed Iron Fence to the top. Although the current North Region is no longer as flourishing as it used to be, there had always been cultivators going to the Ocean World, so Iron Fence is deservedly lively like this. And there is even the territory of human beings in the Ocean World, although it’s not deep inside the sea.” King of the Netherworld said calmly.

“The North Region has seen better days before? What do you mean?” Feng Xi blinked. How could the desolate North Region had been once prosperous?

“That’s right. It was less than a thousand years since the establishment of Iron Fence when the North Region attracted countless cultivators due to its connection to the Ocean World. Transmission Rituals could be seen every hundred miles in the cities at that time, and the prosperity of the central region couldn’t hold the candle to that of the North Region. However, it was precisely because of the slaughter of ocean beasts by human beings that it eventually led to the counterattack of some powerful races in the Ocean World. Countless ocean beasts went ashore, starting to fight back and massacre humans.”

King of the Netherworld also remembered it very clearly, because he was in charge of reincarnation. At that time, the cruel war between the ocean beasts and humans caused countless sins, which added him a lot of trouble.

“Wow. Then what’s the result?” Feng Xi felt that the boss’ story was more attractive to him.

“The strong species of the Ocean World were very smart. They knew how to use beast-wave tactics to drain human beings’ strength, and then they led a huge tide of ocean beasts to the shore to carry out a large-scale massacre. At that time, the defense of Iron Fence was far less effective than it is now. Therefore, it was easy for the ocean beasts to invade the North Region. The vastness of the Ocean World was beyond human’s understanding. In that battle, the ocean beasts held all the aces, while the cultivators of the North Regions couldn’t beat them and were steadily losing ground. Finally, many of them chose to leave the North Region.”

“How did it calm down afterwards?”

“The guardian of God and Demon Kingdom got the news, so naturally he wouldn’t ignore it anymore. He led the powerhouses of God and Demon Kingdom to have a big and fierce war with the inhabitants of the Ocean World, and finally both sides suffered great losses…”

“I got it, and then you told them not to fight again, right?” Feng Xi interrupted King of the Netherworld suddenly and continued with a smile.

King of the Netherworld stretched out his hand above Feng Xi’s head and patted him with a smile, “You’re really smart, but it’s a pity that you guess wrong.”

“What? Why do I feel that there is a sense of irony in your words? But since it was not you, how was it solved in the end?” Feng Xi’s round eyes widened.

“The most important reason why the strong races in the Ocean World would fight back at the people in the North Region was that human beings had participated in the fight between the races of the Ocean World and made an attempt to infiltrate their forces into the Ocean World. The inhabitants of the Ocean World couldn’t let human beings get away with it, so they would start the big war. After that, both sides agreed not to infiltrate the other’s world. As for hunting ocean beasts, this is the natural law and can’t be restrained.”

“I know it this time. There were many powerhouses of the North Region who died in the war. Due to the serious destruction of the North Region, not only were the cities destroyed, but the Transmission Rituals were also ruined. Without the Transmission Rituals, it would be difficult for someone to move a single step in the North Region. Therefore, the North Region became a desolate land until now. Am I right, boss?” Feng Xi looked at King of the Netherworld proudly.

“Yes, you’re very smart, Xiao Xi.” King of the Netherworld said with a faint smile.
