The selection process for the successor of the Nine Nether Underworld Nether Lord in the Mortal Realm is not limited to those from the Mortal Realm.
For example, the person with the highest power in the Nine Nether Underworld is not from the Mortal Realm.
Apart from Xiao Hei's nine companions, everyone here comes from all over the country.
Soul stripped away!
Once the soul is separated, it will be absolutely fatal for Xiao Hei.
After all, Xiao Hei's soul was not yet complete.
Moreover, for body cultivators, the strength of their soul is not their forte.
Once the soul is separated from the physical body, this incomplete soul will likely disintegrate again!
Xiao Hei's expression turned serious.
Although I feel it doesn't matter whether I pass or fail the assessment, if I die during the assessment, wouldn't I be unable to help my senior brothers and sisters at all?
Thinking of this, Xiao Hei tried to control his soul to fight against the cold, yin energy.
The divine soul transformed into a human figure and rushed towards the gray-blue, chilling aura, intending to disperse it. However, when the fist was thrown out, it passed directly through the chilling aura.
Unable to touch it, one cannot resist its continued influence on one's soul.
This method won't work.
Xiao Hei's expression was solemn.
At this rate, my soul will be completely detached from my body in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!
Since the flow of the chilling energy cannot be stopped, the only option is to shatter the blue ice covering the body and quickly pass through this Ghost Gate Pass.
Since the physical body has been completely frozen, and even the Five Viscera are being slowly invaded, then the blue ice should be broken from the inside out.
Just do it if you have an idea.
The power of his bloodline suddenly erupted!
The nine people outside looked at Xiao Hei without moving for a long time, and all shook their heads.
Shen Jie scoffed, saying disdainfully, "Looks like you can't even be a good cannon fodder; you haven't tested anything."
Beside him, Ke Dalai shrugged and said, "We were too demanding. After all, that's all the talent can offer, so it's normal for things to turn out this way."
Tan Zongzhao... that is, the fair-skinned man, frowned slightly.
Could it be that I really misjudged him?
And at that very moment...
Everyone fell silent, their brows furrowed, and looked towards where Xiao Hei was.
Even though Xiao Hei was frozen in blue ice, wisps of Blood Qi were seeping out from it!
This power of bloodline...
This seems to be more than it appears.
The expressions on everyone's faces were solemn.
It's not that their bloodline level is too high overall; if we're just talking about the overall level, their bloodline power isn't that much different from others.
After all, they were extraordinary individuals from all walks of life; otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen by the Nine Nether Underworld.
The overall level of this bloodline is not significantly different from theirs.
However, within that bloodline lies an inexplicable power that instills fear in them!
This hidden power seems to permeate all the great principles of the world!
However, this power vanished in an instant.
It was as if it were an illusion.
And at this moment.
The ice began to loosen, and with a "crack," cracks started to appear on the blue ice!
As a crack appeared, a domineering surge of Blood Qi erupted from it!
It began to spread outwards along this crack.
The blue ice covering Xiao Hei's body also began to shake violently!
Not long after, the blue ice shattered!
Xiao Hei broke free, his expression cold and stern, Blood Qi swirling around his body, his eyes filled with an air of dominance over the world!
Step by step, they walked towards the other side of the Ghost Gate Pass.
With each step, a chilling aura enveloped him, and blue ice once again covered his feet.
However, when Xiao Hei takes another step while his Blood Qi is surging and exploding, the blue ice will shatter, making it impossible to freeze him!
Although the process was slow, they eventually passed through the Ghost Gate Pass after about half an incense stick's time.
Xiao Hei looked around and found that there was no other scenery after this Ghost Gate Pass, so he knew that he would probably have to wait for the people behind him to finish before he could proceed to the second test.
So he sat down cross-legged and tried to recover his strength.
Seeing this, those behind also began heading towards the Ghost Gate Pass.
The first one is Tan Zongzhao.
Under the solemn gazes of everyone, Tan Zongzhao walked through the gates of hell as if strolling in Ghost Gate Pass, completely unaffected by the chilling aura. A white light emanated from his body, completely blocking out the chilling aura!
In just a few minutes, they had passed through the Ghost Gate Pass!
Immediately, Tan Zongzhao ignored the people behind him, walked to Xiao Hei's side, and laughed, "It seems your bloodline is extraordinary."
Xiao Hei didn't open its eyes, nor did it pay any attention to Tan Zongzhao.
Tan Zongzhao wasn't surprised. He smiled and continued, "You seem to be in a hurry, as if you want to pass this test quickly."
"However, I advise you not to be too impatient. Although this first hurdle is easy, the difficulty will increase exponentially as you progress."
At this moment.
Xiao Hei opened its eyes, raised its eyebrows and looked at Tan Zongzhao, whose face was full of smug smiles, as if everything was under his control.
What do you know?
Tan Zongzhao smiled and said, "You want to know?"
Xiao Hei said calmly, "What do you need?"
Nothing comes for free; everything is an exchange of benefits.
Moreover, they were two people meeting for the first time.
Upon hearing this, Tan Zongzhao laughed and said, "I need you to tell me, which realm do you come from?"
Xiao Hei was taken aback, then said, " The Mortal Realm."
Mortal Realm?
Tan Zongzhao was also taken aback by Xiao Hei's answer.
"As far as I know, the Mortal Realm has lost its lineage, and its strength is far inferior to what it once was, making it the weakest of the Six Realms."
"How could someone with your bloodline possibly exist?"
Xiao Hei did not answer.
This issue involves Master.
Tan Zongzhao did not press further, but instead stated directly, " The Nine Nether Underworld is divided into five trials. The second and third trials are the Yellow Springs Road and the River of Forgetfulness, respectively. You will know the specifics when you arrive."
"If you can get through these two levels, then you'll need to pay attention to the fourth and fifth levels."
"The fourth challenge is a free-for-all, meaning you'll have to face those people head-on, and it seems that everyone present is far more skilled than you."
"The fifth stage will be a one-on-one duel between two people in a chaotic battle to determine the last survivor."
Xiao Hei frowned slightly. "So?"
This information was of no use to Xiao Hei.
Tan Zongzhao hearing this, pointed to himself, and said, "What I mean is, in the midst of a chaotic battle, I suggest you find someone to ally with, like me."
Xiao Hei asked, "Why should I believe you?"
Tan Zongzhao transmitted his voice, saying, "Because I saw that you were personally delivered by two elders from the Nine Nether Underworld."
Xiao Hei was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Deal."
Since there was no prior conflict of interest, Xiao Hei didn't believe in unsolicited kindness.
According to Tan Zongzhao, he was attracted by Xiao Hei's apparent connection to the Nine Nether Yellow Springs.
Although Xiao Hei was unaware of this, he didn't mind using it to quickly pass the test.
