Kou Yan, who had already retreated some distance, suddenly had a thought!
While the Nether King zombie was chasing after the Kong Rong, Kou Yan fell into the blood pool and used the Nether Marshal's Scepter in his hand to touch the blood curtain at the bottom of the pool!
He wanted to leave first, but his wish was not fulfilled.
The Nether Marshal's Scepter could not pierce the blood-red curtain.
He tried to force his way through, but the blood-red curtain was too strong; even Supreme Saint like him couldn't get through, not even after he used his seal and magic treasure.
Left with no other choice, Kou Yan emerged from the pool of blood once more!
He knew he had to continue working with Kong Rong to defeat the Netherworld zombies here first!
"Ha ha..."
While dealing with Nether King, Kong Rong loudly sneered, "Alliance Leader Kō, we broke in together. I let you pass on the eighth floor so you could get that scepter. Not only do you not think of repaying me, but you also want to abandon me. How unfair is that?"
" Kong Rong Master, you misunderstand. I was worried that the four people had escaped, which is why I rushed down to pursue them!"
Kou Yan felt slightly embarrassed, and while replying, he urged his seal and magical artifact to smash towards the Nether King.
The tenth level of the Netherworld Ship.
After Lin Heng and the Three Evils descended the stairs, they found that there were no individual cabins here, and the whole place looked very empty.
Lin Heng immediately tried to sign in.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully checking in on the tenth floor of the Netherworld Ship! System reward: ' Nether Ancestor's Heart '!"
The Nether Ancestor's Heart?
What is this thing?
Like the Three Evils, Lin Heng did not rush into action.
While observing his surroundings, Lin Heng also looked at the system's introduction to the Nether Ancestor's Heart.
The Netherworld Clan has always lived and cultivated in the Netherworld Galaxy, Primal Secret Realm. The Nether Ancestor was not the progenitor of the Netherworld Clan, but rather the most powerful among their many ancestors!
The Nether Ancestor's Heart is a supreme treasure formed from the concentrated and refined heart of the Nether Ancestor!
Its grade is the same as the Nether King's Heaven-Splitting Axe, reaching the level of a top-tier Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure!
Moreover, the Nether Ancestor's Heart not only contains powerful energy, but also retains the will of the Nether Ancestor!
This information is very important!
The will left by the Nether Ancestor in the Nether Ancestor's Heart is clearly capable of unleashing the power of the Nether Ancestor's Heart!
After pausing to observe for a moment, the four began to move forward, observing more areas as they walked.
The tenth floor is slightly smaller than the ninth floor, but it is still very large, at least 60,000 zhang long and 10,000 zhang wide.
The ground and the four iron walls here are also covered with densely packed rune patterns.
The patterns on the walls shimmered with a crimson light, creating an atmosphere of profound oppression.
Lin Heng and his three companions quickly found a hole!
Outside the hole lies the murky waters of the Yellow Springs Sea, but these waters cannot flow in through the hole, as they are firmly blocked by the restrictive array power here.
The four of them were naturally in no hurry to leave, even though they had discovered a way out.
At this moment, the four arrived at the center of the tenth level of the Netherworld Ship, where there was a high platform resembling an altar.
The platform was only a dozen or so feet high, and a heart was placed on top of it!
All four of them had killed powerful zombies of the Netherworld Clan, and they could all tell that the heart at the top of the altar was the heart of a powerful Netherworld Clan.
However, this heart is incredibly clear and translucent, like a masterpiece of art!
It resembles a finely carved jade artifact, yet it can expand and contract from time to time!
The frequency of the crimson light emanating from the surrounding protective array runes perfectly matched the frequency of the heart's expansion and contraction.
It's easy to guess that this heart is the one providing energy to the powerful protective array on the Netherworld Ship!
The four of them struggled to their feet and rose up to observe from above.
At the top of the platform, beneath the heart, there was a large groove filled with blood.
All four of them could see that a drop of blood would occasionally seep out of the heart.
The four of them naturally thought that the blood in the blood pool where the Netherworld Black Lotus was located, and the blood pool where the Nether King lay, must have originated from this high platform.
Lin Heng knew without guessing that the heart on the high platform was the Nether Ancestor's Heart.
At this moment, he was secretly pondering a question—
Why did the Netherworld Clan build such a colossal ship long ago?
The Netherworld Galaxy in the Primal Secret Realm no longer has the Netherworld Clan!
Clearly, the Netherworld Clan, who were extremely powerful at the time, built the Netherworld Ship, but met with misfortune. The ship was wrecked, and all the clansmen inside perished!
If it were to be destroyed by a powerful enemy, the enemy could easily empty the Netherworld Ship, take away anything of value inside, or even completely destroy the Netherworld Ship!
Lin Heng estimated that the Netherworld Ship did not become like this because it was attacked by a powerful enemy!
"See the writing on the edge of the groove? That's the writing of the Netherworld Clan!"
"That's what the Evil Emperor said."
"I saw it, but I don't understand it!"
" Evil Emperor, tell me, what did it say?"
The Evil Thearch and the Evil Venerable spoke one after the other.
"It must have been written by Nether King!"
The Evil Emperor said, "The gist of it is that the Nether King intends to use the power of the Nether Ancestor's Heart to lead the entire Netherworld Clan to the Longevity Realm!"
"What?!"
"The entire clan has gone to the Longevity Realm? How is that possible?!"
The Evil Thearch and the Evil Venerable were utterly astonished. Had the Netherworld Clan's schemes back then been far too grand?
"Actually, the path to the Longevity Realm isn't just the Gate of Longevity in the Azure Firmament Stone Forest; it also exists in the Yellow Springs Sea and the Dark Wilderness!"
The Evil Emperor continued, " The Gate of Longevity requires Longevity Road Pass to pass through, while the other two paths do not require Longevity Road Pass, but are even more dangerous!"
" The Netherworld Clan built this colossal ship to withstand the various dangers on the road from the Yellow Springs Sea to the Longevity Realm, but clearly they failed!"
"We've all seen the consequences of failure—it's devastating! All the Netherworld Clan on the Netherworld Ship perished, including the Underworld Nether King had already reached the Nirvana Realm!"
The Evil Thearch exclaimed in amazement, "It seems the legend that the land beneath the Yellow Springs Sea connects to the Longevity Realm is not unfounded! No wonder no one in this Primal Secret Realm can see that side!"
"We haven't been in the Realm of the Longevity Realm long enough, so it's normal that we don't know these things!"
The Evil Emperor nodded and said.
As Lin Heng pondered the Evil Emperor's words, the Evil Venerable, one of the Three Evils, couldn't contain his impatience and voluntarily descended onto the high platform.
Just as the Evil Venerable was about to reach out and touch the Nether Ancestor's Heart, as expected, the Nether Ancestor's Heart suddenly erupted with an overwhelming aura, directly blasting the Evil Venerable away.
puff!
The Evil Venerable suffered a severe blow, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth!
The Evil Emperor, the Evil Thearch, and Lin Heng all instinctively retreated, creating distance between themselves and the high platform, together with the Evil Venerable!
After the overwhelming aura swept around, a faint phantom appeared on the high platform!
A phantom image of a powerful Netherworld Clan continuously emanated a strong will!
Clearly, this is the will of the Nether Ancestor Nether Ancestor's Heart!
As expected of the strongest member of the Netherworld Clan, his remaining will can even manifest as himself!
