Chapter 966: Chapter 960: Hell Eye

In the sky, many powerful warriors could only shake their heads helplessly. However, they did not disperse but rather stayed here, unwilling to give up, waiting to see if there might be another opportunity.

However, before the puppet guardians, after waves of fear, no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

“Emperor Bao Yuan, it seems we might not be able to complete our mission.”

One of the strong individuals from the Ten Thousand Treasure Heavenly Palace spoke.

The mission he referred to was naturally about Ye Xuan.

“Hmph, there’s no need for us to intervene, that kid is doomed.”

Emperor Bao Yuan gave a strange smile, looking confident and prepared.

Ye Xuan was but certainly doomed this time. Entering the Three Heavens is like a lamb entering the tiger’s den. Not just Ye Xuan, but everyone with him will die too.

…

Netherworld Ghost Cave, The Third Heaven.

Walking through the stone gate, darkness engulfed the vision like a tidal wave. However, Ye Xuan could still hear four faint breaths not far behind him, using them to sense the presence of others.

“Why is there nothing here?”

Ye Xuan cautiously moved forward a bit, the darkness as ever without any light appearing, which caused him to furrow his brows.

“There is a stone tablet ahead.”

Suddenly, the voice of Huang Qinger rang out, and everyone followed the sound to see a black stone tablet ahead, etched with an ancient inscription.

Upon approaching, one could barely discern the inscription, “Entering the Three Heavens, one’s life hangs by a thread. Crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, life and death fade into obscurity.”

“Heh, trying to scare people with this kind of trick?”

Ao Wuxu dismissed the inscription indifferently, believing that his life and death were not something others could control.

However, Ye Xuan was not so dismissive. The guardians’ strength before was comparable to that of a Martial Emperor, and now, even if a Martial Emperor emerged before them, it wouldn’t be surprising.

Ye Xuan’s eyes flickered slightly as his soul power spread out with the turn of his mind, attempting to sense the environment here.

“Hmm?”

But just as Ye Xuan’s soul power began to spread, his expression suddenly changed because he felt that the spreading soul power was mysteriously disappearing, as if something hidden in the dark was swallowing it.

“What is it that’s absorbing our soul power?” a low, startled voice suddenly came from behind, it was Huang Qinger’s voice, full of surprise.

“Did she notice too?”

Ye Xuan mused, thinking that Huang Qinger was likely also trying to use her spiritual power to detect but found her soul power being mysteriously devoured.

“I can only use the Heavenly Eye now.”

Ye Xuan’s expression turned grave, and the third vertical eye at his forehead suddenly opened, a beam of light burst forth from the eye, driving away all the darkness.

“Is this… the Heavenly Eye?”

Ao Wuxu and Kun Wanyu were both shocked, while Huang Qinger recognized Ye Xuan’s method and exclaimed.

However, Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Eye was not the same as the Heavenly Eyes she knew. In this world, there indeed were those born with the Heavenly Eye, strong individuals whose soul power reached the extreme might awaken such an eye as their strength grew.

But Ye Xuan’s Heavenly Eye was only temporarily obtained through a divine skill, differing from those naturally born with the Heavenly Eye.

Huang Qinger was astonished for a reason. In their Phoenix Clan, only the strongest Clan Leader was born with the Heavenly Eye, and yet Ye Xuan, a fellow not even a formal member of the Dragon Clan, actually possessed the Heavenly Eye?

“A possessor of the Heavenly Eye?”

Although Ao Wuxu and Kun Wanyu did not recognize the Heavenly Eye, it did not mean they were unaware of its power. A Heavenly Eye possessor’s name alone was extremely renowned; how could they not know it?

“We must recruit Ye Xuan into our group as soon as possible.”

Ao Wuxu became more and more impressed with Ye Xuan, simultaneously growing to admire him more. He decided that after returning to the Dragon Clan, he must persuade the Clan Leader with all his might to allow Ye Xuan to enter the Ancestor Dragon Pool.

However, Ye Xuan did not pay attention to the changes in the others. After seeing through layers of darkness, a ray of light emerged.

This ray of light was very weak, but in this dark space, it was remarkably prominent.

“There’s a small door up ahead, it seems to be the only entrance.”

Ye Xuan closed the Heavenly Eye and informed the others.

“Then, Ye Xuan, please lead the way.”

Ao Wuxu smiled bitterly; he didn’t expect he would find himself needing someone’s help. Indeed, in this ghostly place, his skills had no room to be exercised, not just his, but Kun Wanyu and Huang Qinger’s as well. These three Supreme talents from the Demon Clan have all become blind here.

Ye Xuan glanced at Huang Qinger and Kun Wanyu, then nodded. He might as well lead the way for now.

“Follow me.”

Ye Xuan walked at the front of the group of five. His soul power was also unable to function here, but knowing the entrance’s location, he could find it just by memory.

Several minutes later.

A broken palace gate appeared before the five. The dim light Ye Xuan had seen earlier was coming from within this gate.

Without much hesitation, they entered the gate one by one, and under the small trace of light, they could barely make out the surroundings.

This was an exceptionally majestic hall, at least it used to be. Even if it seemed quite dilapidated now, many traces of grandeur could still be discerned.

The hall was several thousand feet vast, with no end in sight. However, through the Heavenly Eye, Ye Xuan could see the end of the hall, where there seemed to be a massive void, endless. At the void’s end, there was an enormous dark vortex, like the open mouth of a Hell Netherworld Beast, wildly consuming the surrounding Netherworld Energy.

As they approached, the huge vortex gradually came into view in the distance.

“Is this the legendary Hell’s Eye?”

Looking at the astonishing vortex before them, everyone was in shock. Hell’s Eye, rumored to be the portal to hell, anyone passing through it could reach the Hell Plane.

However, not everyone could pass through Hell’s Eye. Without a Martial Emperor level cultivation, one wouldn’t survive passing through Hell’s Eye; they would be swallowed in an instant.

The area beneath the vortex seemed exceptionally empty, and below, an ancient altar was in sight, surrounded by fierce statues, each emanating an ominous hint of a terrifying aura.

Upon closer approach, the altar seemed inactive,

The four statues held different weapons, faintly exuding a pressure.

Ye Xuan gazed at the four statues, and in front of them, some scripts were inscribed.

Heavenly Nether, Earthy Nether, Mysterious Nether, Netherworld.
