Episode 18 – The Elder Gods Chapter 20 – Lost

As soon as Linley entered the Underworld Mountain, he felt a palpitating pressure spread out.

“What a strong pressure!” Linley’s expression instantly solemnized, “It was in hell, when I faced the Blood Peak Lord God, that pressure wasn’t this terrifying!” Entering the Underworld Mountain and being oppressed by this kind of might. Linley felt …… as if he had been terrified back when he was still in Wushan Town, when he was a child, when he first saw the magical beast Black Dragon.

Heart palpitations! The feeling of oppression acted on the soul!

“Boss, I can’t even emanate my divine sense.” Bebe turned his head towards Linley, “This pressure is too strong, even stronger than the last Blood Peak Lord God’s pressure.”

“That’s because what the Blood Peak Lord God descended upon was only an energy doppelganger. It wasn’t the main body.” Linley carefully surveyed his surroundings.

Behind him was the gates of the Underworld Mountain, and the Upper Gods that had entered didn’t dare to go deeper for a while, all carefully familiarizing themselves with their surroundings. The Underworld Mountain was notorious for its ferocity, and even a seven star demonic level expert who entered it was likely to die. How could …… one dare to be careless in such a dangerous place?

“Within this Underworld Mountain, there isn’t even gravity. It’s like it’s isolated from the outside world.” Linley just levitated.

“This white fog also makes one’s head spin. But to me and Bebe, the effects are negligible.” Linley continuously calculated the surrounding situation.

There was a large amount of vegetation, trees, and the like growing on the Underworld Mountain, and this white fog was completely shrouded in the surface layer. And on the outermost periphery of the white fog were the heaven and earth chains. The power of those endless chains of lightning, Linley had heard about them a long time ago. Linley didn’t want to touch and try out that lightning might.

“Whew!” Linley’s body sank, directly falling down to stand on a mountain rock.

“Bebe. Within the range of the Underworld Mountain, stick to the surface of this mountain.” Linley solemnly transmitted his voice. “If we fly, this white fog completely obscures the direction. If you’re not careful, you’ll touch that lightning chain. It would be terrible.”

“Some want to try it.” Bebe smiled. But still, he crashed down and stood on the mountain rocks.

“Remember, watch out for snakes and trees!” Linley transmitted his voice, and at the same time, he looked vigilantly at the large trees beside him, the trees that lived in a special environment like the surface of the Underworld Mountain, one by one, were all relatively low. The shapes were also special. “Maybe, these trees will attack people.”

Linley didn’t dare to be careless.

“Don’t worry.” Bebe also looked at the surrounding trees, “Just these trees, they can’t hurt me yet.”

At this moment, the other Elder Gods. Also had a determination of the surroundings. One by one, they all started to set off.

“Let’s set off.” Linley gave an order.

Immediately, Lin Lei and Bei Bei began to fly towards the front by sticking to the surface of this Underworld Mountain, but this flying speed didn’t dare to be too fast …… lest the trees in the path suddenly attack. And that red-haired woman reminded of the snake, Lin Lei they also did not see one.

A moment —- “Brush!” Lin Lei and Bei Bei stopped, and there was confusion in both of their eyes.

“Boss, which way should we move forward now?” Bebe looked around.

“This hellhole.” Linley was also fretting.

Linley was surrounded by endless white fog, and even with Linley and Bebe’s eyesight, they could barely see dozens of meters at most. Under the terrifying pressure of the Underworld Mountain. Divine sense simply couldn’t escape the surface of the body. Adding to that, this Underworld Mountain was in a state where there was no gravitational pull.

This all leads to —-

There is no way to recognize the direction!

Although some parts of the mountain had slopes, after all, once it was in a gravity-free state. Even if Linley and the others were standing diagonally on the mountain. Nor did they realize that they were standing diagonally. The trees that were in a gravity-less state also had oddly shaped directions for this growth.

“Within this Underworld Mountain, one can’t even recognize the direction. I don’t know which way is up the mountain and which way is down!” Linley took a closer look around, but all around him were large trees of that strange shape, as well as some vegetation. As well as the thick, boundless white fog ……

Bebe grimaced bitterly, “All I know is that if you leave the surface of the mountain and fly towards the top. Then you will encounter the Heaven and Earth Chains. As for the front and back …… I don’t even know where it leads to.”

Linley and the others had encountered the first difficulty within the Underworld Mountain —-

Disorientation!

“Regardless of anything else, just move forward.” Linley clenched his teeth, “The range of the white mist is only hundreds of thousands of meters in diameter. Less than a thousand miles away. Let’s just barge in haphazardly …… maybe we’ll be able to break out.” There was only such a dead end solution at this point. Relying on speed to break in haphazardly.

“En.” Bebe agreed.

At that moment, the two of them began to rely on what they thought was ahead of them again!

But on this path Linley didn’t dare to run at full speed, they also needed to be wary of the trees, they also needed to be wary of the snakes that had never appeared before, so naturally their speed slowed down a bit.

“Someone!” Bebe transmitted.

Linley and Bebe immediately stopped, only to see a blurry silhouette in the white mist not far ahead, the silhouette also approaching this way, and only then did Linley and Bebe recognize who the visitor was. The visitor was none other than the black-robed, purple-haired youth, and the black-robed, purple-haired youth also saw Linley and the two of them, only grunting lowly before continuing on again.

Suddenly —-

“Bang!”

A lightning bolt precipitously descended from the sky and directly struck a large tree that was more than ten meters away from Linley and the tree was instantly turned into flying ash.

“What’s going on here?” Bebe jumped in fright.

“You two be careful!” The purple-haired youth, who had already walked not far away, said in a cold voice, “Within this Underworld Mountain, lightning will still occasionally fall. This lightning is the lightning contained in the Heaven and Earth Chains, and it is extremely powerful! You guys should still pay attention to your heads when flying, once you are hit. Humph……”

The voice faded away and could no longer be heard.

This Heaven and Earth Lock Chain maintained endless lightning energy all year round, that was because the Heaven and Earth Lock Chain was always absorbing the lightning elements in the heavens and earth, constantly growing itself. When the energy within the Heaven and Earth Lock Chain exceeded the tolerance range, it would split down towards random. Leak away some energy.

So that ……

Even if you don’t touch the Heaven and Earth Locking Chain, the Heaven and Earth Locking Chain would, at times, cleave down onto you.

Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but tilt their heads and look upwards.

“This hellhole.” Bebe gritted his teeth. “Inexplicably, there’s also lightning that suddenly descends. If one is accidentally struck, it would be an unjust death.”

“If you dare to come to the Underworld Mountain, you have to be prepared to die.” Linley smiled faintly. “Let’s go. Let’s move on.”

It didn’t matter if it was those people who wanted to find the Underworld Fruit, or Linley and the others. Since they had chosen to enter the Underworld Mountain …… then they couldn’t be blamed for dying. This Underworld Mountain was an area inhabited by the Death Lord, the strongest of the seven Sovereign Gods of the Underworld, so was it that easy to go deeper?

Linley and Bebe, both felt that the route they were advancing on was a straight line.

After advancing for a long time. “En, so it’s still not the end?” Bebe queried. “The distance we’re traveling now should be a thousand miles.”

“It seems that we’re going in the wrong direction.” Linley said.

There was no other possibility, if the direction was right. They would have long since left the white mist region.

If they were in an ordinary place, Linley and the others would have been able to advance in the right direction even with their eyes closed. However, the Underworld Mountain was filled with a terrifying pressure, plus the white fog also had some effect on the soul. Linley’s senses were inaccurate, and without realizing it, their direction deviated. This deviation led to a detour.

“Whatever, keep going.” Bebe said.

Linley nodded as well. Immediately, the two of them continued on through the vast white fog. And along the way. Linley and the others hadn’t found any aggressive tree snakes present. Aside from the occasional thunderbolt or two that struck the sky, this Underworld Mountain was nothing but disorienting. There wasn’t much danger either.

“En, the white mist is thinning.” Linley was instantly overjoyed.

This Underworld Mountain’s three-colored clouds were just about divided into three regions. At the junction of the three regions, there would be a small area without fog. The fact that the white mist had suddenly thinned meant that it was at the border!

“It’s here!” Bebe said in surprise, but instantly Bebe’s expression changed, “How did this happen?”

Linley and Bebe had already reached the end of the white fog, but within their line of sight, chains of heaven and earth appeared. A waist thick chain of lightning chains with a transparent diaphragm between each other, and Linley saw through this transparent diaphragm to the other end of the diaphragm …… that was the boundless earth.

“We’re back at the foot of the mountain?” Linley couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

He had entered through the door of the Underworld Mountain, and had wandered through the Underworld Mountain as if he were blind for a long time, but in the end, he had actually walked to the foot of the mountain again. This foot of the mountain, however, was not the mountain gate. “Walking, it’s only one or two thousand miles distance in total, one hour, enough to walk back and forth dozens of times. I just don’t believe that in an hour, I still can’t get out.” Linley turned around and walked into the white mist once more, and Bebe followed along. “Bang!” Not far away, another thunderbolt struck down.

Linley and Bebe, however, advanced at an undiminished speed.

Linley had originally thought that getting out of this white mist area would be relatively simple. But he had actually walked back to the foot of the mountain three times in a row. This was a journey of thousands of miles even if they took a detour. With their speed, each time was quick, and Linley still had enough patience to continue on.

“There’s someone up ahead.” Bebe’s eyes lit up.

Linley also saw the person in front of him, it was a burly man with short blonde hair, this burly man was advancing cautiously. Seemingly sensing something, he glanced back. But he was startled —- Linley s dragonized appearance had made him think that he had encountered some kind of monster. Only in an instant did he react.

At the mountain gate, he had already seen Linley dragonize.

“Two of you, you didn’t walk out either.” This short blonde-haired strong man unexpectedly came closer and said.

“This damn place, the direction is indecipherable.” Bebe said.

“The white mist area at the bottom of this Underworld Mountain is still the least dangerous place.” This short blonde-haired strong man smiled faintly, “Isn’t it just that the direction is hard to discern? Try a few more times, and you might just get lucky. Walk out. It’s just a matter of spending a little more time. If it doesn’t work once, ten times, a hundred times …… there’s plenty of time.”

Linley smiled, “Then good luck walking out, we won’t bother you anymore. Bebe, set off.”

Linley and Bebe immediately headed towards the front.

A hint of disappointment swept through the eyes of the short blonde-haired strong man, who had come to accost Linley, also wanting to walk with the two of them. Because when they were in the hotel earlier, they already knew that Linley and Bebe were super experts. It would be much safer to follow these two within the Underworld Mountain.

“Ignoring me?” The short blonde-haired strong man’s eyes lit up, and he unexpectedly chased after Linley and Bebe, his mouth still speaking, “Two of you, you’re from hell, you’re not familiar with this Underworld Mountain, are you? I still know something about this place.”

With that, he caught up.

Linley and Bebe couldn’t help but look back at this short blonde-haired strong man.

“Boss, this person is so annoying.” Bebe transmitted a voice.

“Follow and let him follow.” Linley was unconcerned, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye, Linley spotted a green phantom that instantly shot out from a nearby tree. This caused Linley to instantly become alert, and the translucent divine sword Staying Shadow was held in his hand. However, the green phantom was shooting towards the short-haired blonde man behind Linley and the others.

Linley and Bebe immediately turned around.

“Drink!” With a roar, a battle sword suddenly appeared in the blonde burly man’s hand, slashing directly towards the green phantom, and a black shroud of light flowed from his body surface, heavily protecting the blonde burly man.

“Shoo!” The green shadow twisted in mid-air, surprisingly dodging the short-haired blonde strong man’s slash.

The green shadow directly impacted on the black light cover, the black light cover surprisingly could not resist the slightest, the green shadow instantly broke through the black light cover, and directly scurried to the blonde strong man’s body, bizarrely …… the green shadow was actually integrated into the blonde strong man’s body. Only to see that the blonde short hair strong man body surface light cover dissipated, the hands of the war knife also fell.

“Ah, ah This strong man’s mouth let out a terrible sound, and his whole body trembled. But in an instant, the strong man’s body became stiff and there was no sound.

“Peng!” The strong man’s entire body fell down and crashed into the nearby trees, and the strong man’s entire body then began to levitate, floating casually.

Linley and Bebe stared carefully at the body of the strong man.

“Snicker snicker snicker on the forehead of that blonde strongman’s corpse, a hole suddenly appeared, and a small slender green snake only the length of a hand crawled out of it, and then the small green snake’s body shook, and with a flash of green light, it disappeared into the white mist.

Linley and Bebe’s expressions became solemn.

“Snake!” Linley’s heart shook.
