According to folklore, the River of Forgetfulness is blood-yellow in color, filled with wandering ghosts who cannot be reincarnated, teeming with insects and snakes, and emitting a foul stench!
This is also the dividing line between the mortal world and the underworld.
Within this River of Forgetfulness, countless powerful souls are unable to reincarnate and can only wander in its River of Forgetfulness!
They dream of possessing a body, devouring its soul, and then taking over its body; this is their only chance to escape the River of Forgetfulness and be reborn.
Seeing that Xiao Hei was still staring down, Tan Zongzhao suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly said, "You'd better not think about going to the bottom of the river. The River of Forgetfulness not only has countless lonely ghosts waiting to devour your soul and possess you, but the insects, snakes, and poisonous gas in it will also corrode your body at all times!"
"Even God Emperor Realm expert couldn't withstand this poisonous gas!"
Even a powerful being at the God Emperor Realm couldn't withstand it, which shows just how dangerous the River of Forgetfulness is.
Xiao Hei glanced at Tan Zongzhao and said, "We have to go."
Tan Zongzhao was stunned upon hearing this, but before he could say anything more, he saw Xiao Hei's feet suddenly loosen, and the demonic energy that had been binding his feet on the river surface suddenly dissipated!
Thump!
In an instant, Xiao Hei vanished from its spot and plunged directly into the River of Forgetfulness!
Everyone was slightly taken aback by this scene.
Their only thought right now is...
Is this person crazy?
Want to commit suicide?
Or did you realize you couldn't cross the River of Forgetfulness and simply give up?
Tan Zongzhao also looked somewhat solemn.
At this moment, Shen Jie also stepped forward, patted Tan Zongzhao on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "What a pity, the person you chose seems to be a madman. It seems that everything you did before has been in vain."
Tan Zongzhao shrugged slightly and shook Shen Jie's hand away!
He then turned and walked towards the other side of the River of Forgetfulness, saying without looking back, "Instead of worrying so much about other people's affairs, you should take better care of yourself. With your personality, it's no wonder you couldn't surpass Shen Sheng to win the position of Holy Son of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect!"
Upon hearing these words, Shen Jie gritted his teeth, his face turning extremely ugly!
This is his Achilles' heel!
"It's been a long time since we've sparred. During the melee in the fourth round, I'll see just how far you, Tan Zongzhao, have cultivated your Hundred Saints Purple Pupils!"
Tan Zongzhao and said, "You'll see."
Seeing Tan Zongzhao take the lead and walk towards the other side, Shen Jie and the others carefully followed.
On the other side, above the River of Forgetfulness, three people floated in the void, watching this scene unfold before them.
Two of them were the two elders of the Underworld who brought Xiao Hei to the Nine Nether Underworld.
When they saw Xiao Hei willingly fall into the River of Forgetfulness.
Both of the Underworld elders were taken aback.
What is he trying to do? Is he courting death?
"And it doesn't look like it was due to exhaustion; it seems to have fallen into the River of Forgetfulness on its own!"
The somewhat young-looking man standing in the middle smiled with interest.
"My lord, how can you still laugh? This person was handpicked by you, and he's already committed such a suicidal act before even reaching the final two stages. Aren't you worried?"
"How about I rescue him?"
"No need." The man waved his hand and said with a smile, "Since he is that person's disciple, he naturally has his own reasons for doing this."
"Moreover... it's clear from the first two trials that his bloodline and soul are extraordinary..."
Upon hearing this, the two elders exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what the master was thinking.
However, since they've already said that, they can only wait and see.
River of Forgetfulness.
A blood-yellow hue!
Countless venomous snakes and insects roam within, while faceless ghosts howl and cry out for justice.
The moment Xiao Hei fell to the bottom of the river, he could clearly feel a fishy smell rushing into his nasal cavity, and then directly into his internal Five Viscera and blood vessels!
This smell is not only unpleasant, but more importantly, it contains toxins that have accumulated over time!
Whether it's the deadly venom of snakes and insects targeting the flesh, or the accumulated resentment of countless ghosts within them.
This is a double blow to both the physical body and the soul!
The moment it inhaled the gas, Xiao Hei could clearly sense that the places where the gas passed began to wither!
No wonder Tan Zongzhao said that even God Emperor Realm expert would find it difficult to withstand the power of its poison.
However, the moment these poisonous gases seeped into the blood vessels, a golden light burst forth from Xiao Hei's body!
Wherever the golden light passed, the highly poisonous gas instantly melted away!
This is also why Xiao Hei dared to come down directly.
Master's Essence Blood.
Those with bloodlines at the level of a master are naturally immune to all poisons.
At least this level of poison is completely ineffective against Master's drop of Essence Blood.
Of course, this is also a gamble for Xiao Hei.
However, there is no other way. It is one of the three souls. As long as one obtains this soul fragment, all three souls of the three souls and seven spirits will be found, and one's strength will increase unprecedentedly!
More importantly... it allows us to obtain more information.
What exactly is inside that black box?
I wonder if this fragment of soul will provide the answer.
The black demonic energy continued to extend downwards, and Xiao Hei controlled its body to sink continuously.
At that very moment, countless howls swept in from all directions!
The moment Xiao Hei looked around, countless ghostly hands grabbed his hands, feet, and even his neck!
This rendered him completely immobile for a moment!
And every ghost here possesses at least the strength of the God Emperor Realm... or even God Lord Realm!
Xiao Hei's expression turned slightly serious.
With a low shout, the Demon God Armor covered his entire body, and seven stripes immediately appeared on his body surface, unleashing his bloodline aura!
Faced with this situation, Xiao Hei dared not be negligent in the slightest!
He held the Nine Heavens Devil Halberd in his hands, gripping it with both, and swung it around continuously!
Scatter all approaching ghosts!
At the same time, the body also moves downwards.
However, the further you go, the more ghosts there are, and they even become stronger!
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Hei's body already had deep, bone-revealing wounds!
After all, it was a ghost, and some of its attacks could penetrate the armor and strike Xiao Hei's flesh directly.
If it weren't for the self-healing ability of their bloodline, anyone else would probably have already been devoured by ghosts and serpents...
Another incense stick burned, Xiao Hei arrived at the bottom of the River of Forgetfulness.
However, when he arrived here, he discovered that the black demonic energy had actually dispersed!
They spread to various places, in all directions.
It seems that fragments of the soul could be found in any direction.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei kept fighting off the ghosts' attacks while thinking to himself.
Could it be that because this fragment of my soul has been here for too long, it has tainted the other ghosts with my aura?
If that's the case, then we just need to find the soul with the strongest aura.
But... in this situation, how can one calm down and perceive things?
"It seems... the only option is to break the bloodline seal."
