Upon arriving behind the blood curtain on the eighth floor, Lin Heng and the others discovered that, without the aid of the Nether Marshal's Scepter, their bodies could pass through the blood curtain and return to the Nether Marshal's cabin on the eighth floor.
This shows that each level of the Netherworld Ship is difficult to enter, but easy to get out!
Of course, this blood curtain only appears from the seventh floor onwards.
The four quickly discovered that a fierce battle was taking place outside the door of the Nether Marshal's cabin!
The Nether Marshal Zombie and a large number of powerful Death Warriors are fighting against two Supreme Saint!
" The Supreme Saint of the Void Race?"
The Evil Emperor was greatly surprised to see Kong Rong.
"Both are Supreme Saint, top-tier existences, and they are clearly working together!"
" Kou Yan is already a great threat to us, and now we have another Void Race Supreme Saint. Returning by the same route is even more dangerous, and it's almost impossible to succeed!"
Both the Evil Venerable and the Evil Thearch were extremely frustrated.
"That Nether Marshal clearly can't hold on much longer; his body has already suffered multiple severe injuries. The powerful beings here who are dead don't pose much of a threat to living Supreme Saint who possess Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!"
The Evil Emperor said helplessly, "Let's go to the ninth floor! This path is blocked!"
Lin Heng then used the Nether Marshal's Scepter to open the blood curtain, and the four of them descended the stairs to the ninth level of the Netherworld Ship.
"We can't hesitate any longer!"
The Evil Thearch reminded them, "Once those two Supreme Saint saints defeat the Nether Marshal zombie, they will obtain the scepter and can descend smoothly just the same!"
Yes, yes, yes!
The Evil Venerable nodded repeatedly, "I hadn't thought of that at all!"
The Evil Emperor said, "Indeed, we don't have much time left!"
The Evil Thearch added, "We have no choice but to take a gamble, hoping that the King of the Nether King isn't strong enough, and that we can escape into the Blood Pool!"
Lin Heng had no better solution!
The Three Evils maintained a distance of several tens of feet from the Blood Pool, and only Lin Heng came to the edge of the Blood Pool again.
The Evil Emperor controlled more than a dozen celestial flames, launching a probing attack on the Nether King in the blood pool.
really--
When a clear threat loomed, Nether King abruptly rose from the pool of blood!
In an instant, the blood mist around the blood pool thickened even more!
An incomparably powerful aura swept in all directions like a raging storm!
More than a dozen clusters of heavenly fire were swept away by the powerful force!
This scene sent chills down the spines of the Three Evils!
The dozen or so celestial fires seemed to have no effect whatsoever in restraining the enemy!
At this moment, Lin Heng withstood the powerful aura emanating from Nether King' body and opened his Heavenly Eye!
The Double Pupils Heavenly Eye then shot out a gray beam of light!
The gaze of annihilation struck Nether King, but it only shattered a single scale on Nether King' chest!
Lin Heng's current cultivation level is not high enough, so the power of the Annihilation Heavenly Eye is naturally not very strong.
Seeing that the Heavenly Eye's supernatural power was effective, Lin Heng, with the idea of giving it another try, used one of the supernatural powers of the Double Pupils — Vitality Deprivation!
To exchange one's own life force for the enemy's!
Lin Heng could sense that although Nether King had been dead for many years, he still possessed a considerable life force within him, and his heart was still beating!
Depriving Nether King of his life force should also cause him considerable damage!
Moreover, Lin Heng had experienced this Double Pupils divine power before. After being hit, even with a strong physique, he could hardly move!
As Lin Heng had predicted, the Nether King, whose Vitality Deprivation, stood Immovable in the pool of blood!
This was the effect Lin Heng wanted; he didn't expect that Vitality Deprivation would destroy Nether King!
"Run with me!"
Lin Heng was overjoyed, never expecting it to actually succeed. He quickly called for the Three Evils to escape together!
The Three Evils ones were overjoyed and didn't dare to delay for a moment, so they all followed Lin Heng and jumped into the blood pool!
Lin Heng touched the blood curtain at the bottom of the blood pool with the Nether Marshal's Scepter, but the blood curtain did not disappear automatically, and the four people's bodies could not pass through the blood curtain.
The Nether Marshal's Scepter is clearly useless against this blood-red curtain!
"Is that not allowed?"
"Broken!"
"This time we're really doomed!"
The Three Evils were very nervous and frustrated!
"I reckon we'll need to use the axe in Nether King's hand!"
"While Nether King is currently immobilized, let's try to snatch that axe!"
"Huh?"
While the Three Evils were discussing the matter tensely, Lin Heng took out the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe from the system's inventory!
As the Three Evils predicted, Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe can open this blood-red curtain!
The Three Evils were even more astonished, but they didn't have much time to be surprised. Lin Heng had already landed on the steps below the blood pool, and of course they quickly followed!
By the time Nether King regained his freedom, the blood-red curtain had already reappeared!
Nether King could certainly pass through the blood curtain, but he didn't!
After all, the current Nether King is not the normal Nether King; he should only deal with intruders around him!
Not long after, seemingly sensing no threat, Nether King lay down in the pool of blood again!
Less than a hundred breaths later, Kou Yan and Kong Rong finally broke into the ninth level of the Netherworld Ship.
In Kou Yan's hand was a Nether Marshal's Scepter, which he and Kong Rong had clearly seized from the Nether Marshal zombie.
The two Supreme Saint saints quickly discovered the blood pool and the Underworld Nether King within it. They did not rush to take action, but instead carefully searched the area first.
"Where are Lin Heng and the Three Evils?"
"There are no four of them, nor any bodies, in the Nether Marshal's cabin on the eighth floor. They must have come down. How come there's not a trace left?" asked Kong Rong puzzled man.
How would I know!
Kou Yan was also puzzled. After searching carefully, he found no way out or exit.
Lin Heng and the Three Evils should still be here!
To make sure they hadn't missed anything, the two Supreme Saint experts searched carefully twice more, but still couldn't find any trace of Lin Heng and his companions.
"It seems he really has left!"
Kou Yan shook his head helplessly and carefully approached the blood pool with Kong Rong.
"There's also a curtain of blood at the bottom of the blood pool!"
"Could it be that those four people left from here?" said Kong Rong in surprise.
"This is the only possibility!"
Kou Yan nodded.
"If they can go down, so can we!"
"This zombie, still with a heartbeat, is definitely completely immobile, which is why we allowed the four of them to leave so easily!" (The Kong Rong is a quote from a different speaker and doesn't directly relate to the preceding text.)
As he spoke, Kong Rong stretched out a huge claw, trying to grab Nether King from the blood pool and throw him aside!
"Don't..."
Kou Yan tried to stop him, but it was too late!
Splash...
Nether King suddenly rose again, swinging his Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe!
Caught off guard, Kong Rong was sent flying a great distance by a single axe blow!
"This..."
A sense of dread Kong Rong; the zombies in the blood pool were not only able to move, but also possessed immense strength!
With one swing of the axe, Kong Rong discovered that seven or eight of his scales had shattered!
Moreover, the aura surging from that zombie was exceptionally powerful!
This zombie is more than ten times stronger than the one on the eighth floor who wielded the scepter!
Nether King leaped out of the pool of blood and continued his pursuit of the Kong Rong!
