Ling Tian and the others hadn't discovered the source of the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers pouring into the Nine Heavens Realm in the First Heaven. But they weren't discouraged. There were still eight heavens ahead, so the odds of finding the source there were naturally much higher.
Next, they repeated their old trick. Ling Tian entered the Second Heaven first and lured the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers out. A few breaths later, Fairy Meng Shang and the others followed. Without any surprises, everyone made it to the Second Heaven.
Taking in their surroundings, Lian Yue furrowed her brows slightly. "The Death Nether Qi in the Second Heaven seems a little denser than in the First Heaven, and the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers around us seem a little stronger too."
Fairy Meng Shang nodded. "Mm, you're right. They are a little stronger. It seems that the deeper we go, the stronger the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers will become, just like those Stone People back then."
"Uh, some of the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers here are already at the middle stage of the Heavenly Lord level. Their strength will keep increasing in the next few heavens. Does that mean we're very likely to run into god-level Nine Nether Nether Soldiers in the Ninth Heaven?" Tan Tai Chang Feng asked. Though he phrased it as a question, his tone was quite certain.
"Maybe we'll find the source of the Nine Nether Nether Soldiers pouring into the Nine Heavens Realm before we even reach the Ninth Heaven," Xing Zhan muttered.
"That's possible too, just not very likely." Yao Yu shook her head and gave a wry smile. "Why do I feel like the problem lies in the Ninth Heaven?"
"In that case, let's not waste time. We should head straight for the Ninth Heaven,"
