Chapter 991: Arrival at the Imperial Sea

“There is a divine power ocean with a diameter of dozens of light-years… Who in the universe can rival him in divine strength?” the Chaos City Lord sighed, “It’s just too absurd. That divine body is just too enormous.”

Luo Feng nodded.

It was indeed absurd.

There were many special life forms in the universe, and many of them had massive bodies. However, even the largest among these special life forms only reached a height of several hundred million kilometers. And those were mainly ‘plant-type’ and ‘rock-type’ life forms. Yet, the Nine Netherworlds had a diameter of dozens of light-years.

Several hundred million kilometers versus dozens of light-years—comparing the strongest World Tree to the Nine Netherworlds was like comparing a single hair to an entire herd of oxen!

“But no one understands why his divine body is so massive,” the Chaos City Lord shook his head. “Besides the Nine Netherworlds, no one else in the universe is this absurdly exaggerated. Oh, and one more thing… I’ve never heard of the Nine Netherworlds’ Ruler possessing any innate secret techniques.”

“Huh?” Luo Feng was taken aback.

No innate secret techniques?

“The Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds is undoubtedly a special life form in the universe,” the Chaos City Lord explained. “Yet even if he is killed and annihilated, and another divine body emerges, he has never displayed any secret techniques.”

“Haha, the universe is fair. It has bestowed upon him such an absurd divine body, but it must have imposed significant limitations in return,” the Chaos City Lord remarked.

Suddenly, the Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng, “You asked about the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds. What exactly are you after? You can tell me now.”

“The third avatar I wish to cultivate will be similar to a prince,” Luo Feng replied.

“A prince?” the Chaos City Lord was puzzled.

“Yes, the prince of the Nine Netherworlds,” Luo Feng explained. “According to what I know, those princes also possess oceans similar to the ‘Nine Netherworlds,’ only they are called the Royal Seas!”

“But the Nine Netherworlds’ Ruler only has three children,” the Chaos City Lord said.

“Three?” Luo Feng was astonished.

“Yes, among his three children, one is a cosmic overlord, and the other two are Venerables,” the Chaos City Lord replied. “However, even if these three children are killed, they can revive and reappear.”

Luo Feng smiled, “Master, according to my investigation in the Nine Netherworlds, the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds actually has a total of 108 children, and there are also 108 Royal Seas in the Nine Netherworlds! Only, these princes vary in strength, with three being Venerables, dozens being Immortals, and dozens more being World Lords.”

“108 princes?” the Chaos City Lord was surprised, then his eyes lit up, “Since there are 108 coexisting, their life gene levels probably aren’t too high. The probability of your successfully cultivating one should be very high.”

Luo Feng nodded quickly.

He had thought the same. The World Tree had nine trees, but the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds had 108 children. The more there are, the lower their life hierarchy tends to be. After all, the more extraordinary a life form is, the rarer it becomes. Many are unique in the entire universe.

“Can you obtain the seawater from the Royal Seas?” the Chaos City Lord asked.

“All 108 Royal Seas are located in the central core of the Nine Netherworlds, and there are no native troops guarding them,” Luo Feng replied.

“You’re wrong,” the Chaos City Lord shook his head. “There may be no troops, but the ‘Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds’ himself will be watching.”

Luo Feng was taken aback.

That’s right. The Nine Netherworlds Sea was the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds himself. That entire Nine Netherworlds was a world completely controlled by him. The Ruler would surely be aware of everything that happened there.

“I only took a little seawater. It should be okay, right?” Luo Feng felt uneasy.

“The seawater is part of his child’s divine body. However, taking a small amount from one of the oceans might be okay, or it might not be,” the Chaos City Lord said. “If the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds discovers it, quickly put away the seawater and tell him you are my disciple. I can owe him a favor… getting a little seawater won’t be a big deal.”

Luo Feng felt increasingly grateful. Indeed, the Chaos City Lord had helped him greatly.

The Chaos City Lord looked at Luo Feng with growing satisfaction. If Luo Feng’s third avatar became similar to the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds, then even if he died, he could revive again! And his energy would be inexhaustible! That would definitely make him a formidable warrior for the human race—a fearless warrior who fears no death!

“Disciple will go now and strive to obtain the seawater,” Luo Feng could no longer contain his eagerness.

“Go ahead,” the Chaos City Lord was also filled with anticipation.

In the Nine Netherworlds.

A flicker of intense heat flashed in the eyes of the Mosha Clan’s avatar, then it soared into the sky, directly flying toward the central core of the entire Nine Netherworlds.

The Nine Netherworlds was vast and boundless. The Mosha Clan’s avatar flew for a full half year before finally arriving.

“The Royal Sea!” The Mosha Clan’s avatar looked from above and saw the endless ocean in the distance. Indeed, it was magnificent.

“I’ll first carefully investigate these 108 Royal Seas.”

Although he already knew about the 108 Royal Seas, the detailed data and information were unclear. The volume of these seas was directly related to his future divine body, so Luo Feng naturally needed to clarify everything. He spent another month flying and observing from above, estimating the data with his naked eyes.

Among the 108 Royal Seas:

56 of them had blood-red seawater, resembling blood, truly deserving the name Blood Sea. These 56 Blood Seas were all the same size, with diameters of about 80 million kilometers.

49 of them had turbulent seawater, similar to ordinary seawater, all the same size, with diameters reaching the astonishing 960 million kilometers. These were known among the natives as the ‘Small Royal Seas.’

3 of them had seawater like ordinary seawater, slightly different in size, with diameters ranging from 32 billion kilometers to 101 billion kilometers. These were known among the natives as the ‘Great Royal Seas.’

“There are many natives coming to worship,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar looked down from above.

Indeed, around the 108 Royal Seas, especially the Small Royal Seas and the Great Royal Seas, many natives were kneeling and bowing in reverence. However, around the smallest Blood Seas, there were no native worshippers.

“Worship,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar nodded inwardly.

Many of the natives were born from the ‘Small Royal Seas’ and ‘Great Royal Seas.’ These Royal Seas were like their parents! When they were just born, they were taken away to various cities and settlements. But when they grew up and became strong enough, they would usually come here to worship.

Even many natives, when their lifespans were nearing their end, would come here before death, kneeling and waiting for their time to come.

Born here, and thus dying here!

“These natives probably don’t know the secret that the princes are the Royal Seas themselves, and the Royal Seas are the princes,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar looked down from above, thinking inwardly. “But since they were born from the Royal Seas, perhaps even from the Ancestral Sea, they would naturally revere the princes and the Royal Seas at the very root of their lives.”

Swoosh!

The Mosha Clan’s avatar dove downward.

Soon, it landed beside a Blood Sea.

The Small Royal Seas represented Immortal-level princes! The Great Royal Seas represented Venerable-level princes! And the Blood Seas… represented World Lord-level princes!

“World Lord-level princes are weak in strength, and their seas all appear as Blood Seas. Moreover, the Blood Seas cannot give birth to life. Only after becoming an Immortal can the Blood Sea transform, becoming similar to an ordinary ocean, but in fact, it is a true sublimation. Only then can life be born,” Luo Feng nodded inwardly.

Among the 108 Royal Seas, countless natives were kneeling and worshipping around the Great Royal Seas and Small Royal Seas.

There were no worshippers around the Blood Seas because no life was born in the Blood Seas.

“What are you doing here?” A figure flew down from the sky, a native Immortal.

The Mosha Clan’s avatar glanced at him, then turned his gaze to the vast Blood Sea ahead. The endless blood surged within it. The Mosha Clan’s avatar spoke respectfully, “I just wanted to see this Blood Sea. I was born from a Great Royal Sea, but… the Great Royal Sea was once like this Blood Sea long ago.”

“Be careful,” the Immortal native stared at the Mosha Clan’s avatar. “There are strict orders prohibiting fighting, attacking, or taking blood from the Blood Sea.”

“I naturally understand,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar nodded.

“Alright.”

The Immortal native said no more, trusting that his fellow clansman would not commit such forbidden acts.

As the Mosha Clan’s avatar watched the Immortal native leave, he thought inwardly, “Didn’t expect there to be such a taboo. My intelligence gathering was too brief. Indeed, the Royal Seas are the princes themselves, and the ‘Blood Seas’ are the World Lord-level princes. The World Lord-level princes are weak in strength, and their lives are relatively fragile. Some powerful natives could easily damage the Blood Seas. If someone were determined, they might even kill a World Lord-level prince.”

In the sky and on the earth, crimson mist never dissipated throughout the year.

Within the Blood Sea, endless blood surged and flowed. At the edge of the Blood Sea, the Mosha Clan’s avatar stood there.

“I can’t worry about that anymore.”

The Mosha Clan’s avatar glanced around. Since there were no worshippers near the Blood Sea, the nearest ones were several billion kilometers away. As long as his actions were fast enough, no one would notice what he was doing, except for one person who would certainly know—the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds!

“I’ll just take a little of this Blood Sea water and leave. It should be fine.”

“A Blood Sea with a diameter of 80 million kilometers won’t miss a little seawater, right?” The Mosha Clan’s avatar was actually somewhat nervous because there was a certain possibility… that the terrifying Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds might become furious.

“For the third avatar! For future opportunities!”

“I’m going for it.”

In an instant, the Mosha Clan’s avatar activated his innate ability ‘Domain,’ and in a flash, he appeared on the surface of the Blood Sea. With a single motion, he controlled part of the Blood Sea water and stored it into his ‘World Ring.’ This World Ring was carried by the Earthman’s main body and was the hardest and safest World Ring Luo Feng possessed.

Of course, the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds could easily destroy it.

“This isn’t seawater at all; it’s pure blood,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar could smell the strong metallic scent as his fingers touched the Blood Sea water.

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, the Mosha Clan’s avatar returned to his original position.

These two uses of ‘Domain’ took less than 0.1 seconds, and the Blood Sea water was already in his possession.

“I have traversed the Nine Netherworlds, and the Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds already knows about my ‘Domain’ ability,” the Mosha Clan’s avatar glanced at the other worshippers in the distance. “If they didn’t notice, then it’s fine. But if these natives discovered my violation of the taboo, they might attack me.”

Just as the Mosha Clan’s avatar was about to leave,

“Boom~~~~”

A mighty and inconceivable presence descended directly. Within hundreds of millions of kilometers, the power of the Nine Netherworlds instantly formed a vacuum, converging completely in midair in front of Luo Feng, forming a massive face-like outline. The surrounding sky and earth were filled with endless rage, the heavens and earth completely changed color, turning into a blood-red hue.

Within the blood-red heavens and earth, the massive head looked down coldly at the Mosha Clan’s avatar.

The Ruler of the Nine Netherworlds… had descended!
