"Alliance Leader Kou, to be honest, I came for Lin Heng, and I imagine you're the same!"
Kong Rong continued, "Judging from your expression, I guess you must have already encountered Lin Heng, but you failed to kill him, right?"
"That's right!"
Kou Yan nodded. "He led the Three Evils into a huge ship's cabin, and they may have even reached the ninth level of the Netherworld Ship! There are many powerful beings in that cabin, one of whom is exceptionally strong. Lin Heng and the others may already be dead inside!"
"Whether he's dead or not, we'll find out by going in and taking a look."
"Kong Rong suggested."
"OK!"
Kou Yan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately agreed.
It would indeed be difficult for him to deal with so many powerful beings on his own, and it would also be difficult for him to reach the ninth level of the Netherworld Ship.
"Let's go! Leader Kou, lead the way!"
Kong Rong didn't want to waste too much time.
"Good!"
Kou Yan was not injured and is still in good condition.
Soon, he led Kong Rong to the door of the Nether Marshal's cabin.
Next, the two Supreme Saint saints joined forces to lure the Nether Marshal zombie to the entrance of the Nether Marshal's cabin, where they engaged in a fierce battle!
Kou Yan and Kong Rong truly deserve to be overlords of the God Realm; even on the eighth level of the Netherworld Ship, their combat prowess remains exceptional!
When the two work together, they can easily withstand the attacks of the Nether Marshal Zombie, and at the same time, they can repeatedly repel those powerful dead and counterattack against the Nether Marshal Zombie!
The Nether Marshal Zombie is indeed powerful, but after all, a long time has passed, and he can no longer unleash his full strength from before his birth, just like other powerful beings of the dead.
Faced with two living Supreme Saint beings who both possess Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Nether Marshal Zombie will surely be slain sooner or later!
The ninth level of the Netherworld Ship.
Lin Heng and Three Evils were surprised to find that there weren't many cabins here; the whole place was empty.
There were no zombies from the Netherworld Clan, no Yellow Springs powerhouses who had lost their self-awareness, no powerhouses from various races from the God Realm, and no ghosts.
The ground and the surrounding iron walls are covered with dense, strange patterns that shimmer with an eerie, blood-red light.
The entire ninth level of the Netherworld Ship was filled with dazzling blood-red light, raging with powerful auras, and accompanied by a series of "thump-thump-thump" sounds like the beating of drums.
Of course, although it was described as empty, a thick mist of blood permeated the entire place.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in on the ninth floor of the Netherworld Ship! System reward: ' Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe '!"
Lin Heng was very happy.
There are no specific cabins here; just check in.
Lin Heng naturally wanted to first see the system's introduction to the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe.
It is the finest among the Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure, its grade far surpassing that of the Nether Marshal's Scepter!
Lin Heng and the Three Evils paused to observe for a moment before cautiously beginning to move forward, seeking an opportunity.
After a long time, the four discovered another huge pool of blood.
In that pool of blood, lay a corpse.
From the physical characteristics of the corpse, it is clear that it was also a powerful member of the Netherworld Clan.
Unlike ordinary ghostly zombies, the horn on its forehead is much longer, and it's not black, but blood red!
In one of its claws, it tightly gripped a battle axe that was also blood red!
That battle axe was clearly the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe, but unlike the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe that the system rewarded Lin Heng with, the one in the blood pool had very obvious cracks!
The Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe the blood pool was in a damaged state!
The closer one gets to the blood pool, the louder and more audible the drumbeats become, and the thicker the surrounding blood mist grows!
"That's not the sound of drums, that's the sound of that guy's heartbeat!"
The Evil Emperor pointed to the blood pool and reminded him in surprise.
"Could it be... that he's still alive?"
The Evil Venerable's eyes widened in disbelief.
It's important to know that the other powerful beings who died on the Netherworld Ship didn't have heartbeats!
"Living is definitely impossible!"
The Evil Thearch shook his head and said, " The Netherworld Ship has existed for countless billions of years. This thing isn't a powerful being from the Longevity Realm, so how could it still be alive? It's just using this method to ensure its corpse remains immortal!"
"Um!"
The Evil Emperor nodded in agreement.
"In its previous life, it must have been the Nether King of the Netherworld Clan, wielding the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe!"
Lin Heng spoke up.
"Oh?"
The Three Evils glanced at Lin Heng together, thinking to themselves, "This kid seems to know a lot!"
"Although this Nether King is dead, he can definitely rise up and fight; I'm afraid we can't defeat him!"
The Evil Emperor said cautiously, "Don't offend it, and don't get too close to the blood pool. Let's see if we can find a way out!"
So the four of them began searching everywhere, always keeping a safe distance from the blood pool.
Unfortunately, the four of them quickly searched the entire ninth floor but found no way out.
"Is the only way to leave the city the same way we came in?"
The Evil Venerable was somewhat troubled.
"Or we could forcefully breach an iron wall and create a hole!"
"The Evil Thearch said."
"The iron walls and ground here are engraved with restrictive runes; forcibly breaking through them would be extremely difficult!"
The Evil Emperor frowned and said, "If we make too much noise, we'll awaken the Nether King in the Blood Pool!"
The four of them focused their attention back on the blood pool!
The Nether King of the Underworld remained silent in the pool of blood, only emitting a thumping, drum-like heartbeat.
"Let's think of a solution quickly!"
The Evil Thearch added, "The blood mist here is extremely powerful; it can slowly erode our Saint Body, and there's absolutely no way to defend against it!"
Neither the Evil Venerable nor the Evil Emperor had a good solution.
Lin Heng mustered his courage and approached the blood pool!
The blood in the pool was not thick; in fact, it was quite translucent.
Lin Heng could see a blood curtain at the bottom of the blood pool, and beneath the blood curtain was a staircase!
The way out was actually below the blood pool, but the entrance to the stairs was almost completely blocked by Nether King ' enormous corpse!
To leave, Nether King must be brought to life in the pool of blood!
Lin Heng returned to the Three Evils and explained what he had seen.
"Going back the way we came should also be fine."
Lin Heng possesses the Nether Marshal's Scepter, allowing him to pass through the blood-stained curtains on every step of the Netherworld Ship.
However, the Saint Alliance leader Kou Yan must not have left, and there is also a Nether Marshal zombie holding the Nether Marshal's Scepter on the eighth floor.
"At the bottom of the stairs beneath the blood pool, there might be another level, and that level might be the real hull of the ship, with no possible exit!"
The Evil Emperor speculated.
Aren't you going down to take a look?
The Evil Venerable said expectantly, "Perhaps there's an incredible opportunity down there! Otherwise, why would the Nether King have blocked the entrance to the stairs with his body after his death!"
Everyone wants to go down and take a look, but the key question is whether they can even get down there!
The Evil Thearch curled his lip and said, " The Nether King hasn't awakened yet, so we still have a chance to turn back! Turning back is also dangerous, but I think it's much less dangerous than waking the Nether King!"
The Evil Emperor nodded, indicating his agreement with the Evil Thearch's judgment.
"With the help of this scepter, we are free to come and go!"
Lin Heng said, "Let's go up and check the situation first. If we can't leave, we can come back down!"
There was no objection from the Three Evils!
