Chapter 1287

"Ahem … I say, Fellow Daoists, as the saying goes, it is fate that brings us together in a foreign land. Seeing as we're all cultivators from the True Immortal Realm, and we've answered so many of your questions, can you save me first before we discuss anything else?" the statue asked hopefully.

"It's not impossible to save you, but the three of us have just arrived. We would like to ask you for some information about the Nether Realm," Han Li said noncommittally.

"Of course, but I haven't been to many places in the Nether Realm. I'm only familiar with the Black River Zone," the statue said hurriedly.

"Black River Zone … Does it refer to a region of the Nether Realm?

How many regions are there in the Nether Realm? "Han Li asked.

"That's right.

The Nether Realm is very vast. As for how vast it is, even the people of the Nether Realm can't say for sure.

The only regions I know are the Black River Zone, the Nether Earth Region, and the Yama Region, "the statue said.

When Han Li heard the words "Yama Region," his heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change as he continued.

"Tell me about the Black River Zone first."

"The Black River Zone is said to be no less than hundreds of millions of miles wide. It got its name mainly because of the black river below. There are the Wasteland of Fierce Ghosts, the Forest of the Undead, the Blood Prison Canyon, and seventeen or eighteen other places. There are many ghosts living there, but there are many races. However, there aren't many with intelligence …" the statue continued.

Han Li had a general impression of the Nether Realm from the statue's words.

This place wasn't too different from the True Immortal Realm, the Demon Zone, and the Dust World. There were many races and each occupied a mountain.

"The Black River Zone, the Nether Earth Region, and the Yama Region. What are the powerful figures in each of these three regions?

How strong are they? "Han Li pondered for a moment and asked again.

"I'm not too sure about this. I've only heard that there are three giants in the Nether Realm. They are called Xue Li, the Nether King, and the Ghost Witch.

The Black River Zone seems to be under Xue Li's control. As for the other two zones, I'm not too sure either.

The main reason is that there are very few intelligent ghosts in the Nether Realm, so it's very difficult to obtain information … As for the strength of those three people, it's said that they are all extremely powerful, but I don't know exactly how powerful they are, "the statue said.

"What do you know about the Yama Region?" Han Li nodded and changed the topic.

"I've never been to the Yama Region. I've only heard that the Ghost Race there is very powerful. Moreover, the management there is strict. It's not like the Black River Region, which is more chaotic," the statue said after a moment of silence.

"Have you heard of a place called the Residence of Yama in the Yama Region?" Han Li asked directly.

"The Residence of King Yanluo?

I vaguely remember searching the soul of a ghost before, and I saw such a place in its memory. It's at the border of the Yama Region, and it seems to be very mysterious. "The statue was startled, and it was silent for a moment, as if it was trying its best to recall.

"Do you still remember where that place is?" Han Li was overjoyed and immediately asked.

"I don't know how many years I've been sealed here. It's been too long, and there are many things that I can't remember clearly. However, I should be able to try," the statue said.

Han Li didn't immediately respond to this. Instead, he cast a sidelong glance to the side before transmitting his voice.

"Weeping Soul, can you tell if this person is telling the truth?"

"This person is sealed inside, and I can't sense his soul. However, judging from his tone, he shouldn't be lying.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that he's very good at disguising himself, "the Weeping Soul replied.

Hearing this, Han Li calmed down and was about to speak.

"You said that you are from the Earth Emperor Sect of the Earth Celestial Realm. Which branch of the Earth Emperor Sect are you from?" the golden boy suddenly asked.

Han Li and the Weeping Soul Beast were rather surprised to hear this.

"Fellow daoist, you seem to know the Earth Emperor Sect quite well. I am a disciple of the Bitter Bamboo Peak branch of the Earth Emperor Sect. I am a disciple of the peak master of the Bitter Bamboo Peak, Yue Jing." The statue was startled again.

The golden boy didn't say anything else. He blinked at Han Li.

Although Han Li was curious as to why the golden boy was so familiar with the Earth Celestial Realm, he didn't ask.

Instead, he said, "Alright, I'll let you out, and you'll bring us to the Yama Residence."

"No problem. Deal!" the statue promised immediately.

A faint smile appeared on Han Li's face as he turned to the Weeping Soul Beast, and said, "Weeping Soul Beast, help me break this seal."

The Weeping Soul nodded.

"This seal isn't simple. I've been studying it for years, and I've come up with many ways to break it. I've grasped some of the essentials. Do you want me to tell you?" the statue asked.

"There's no need. Although this seal is powerful, it has weakened with the passage of time. I've already found the flaw in it," Han Li said with a shake of his head.

Then, he told the Weeping Soul about the flaw in the seal, and the two of them started casting their techniques.

Not long after, the Weeping Soul was on the left, and Han Li was on the right. The two of them cast their techniques at the same time and shot a beam of light at the statue.

Han Li struck a seal talisman on the right side of the statue with his Immortal Spiritual Energy, while the Weeping Soul covered the statue with its Power of Law.

The seal talisman burst into a ball of green flames under the impact of the Immortal Spiritual Energy. After burning for a while, it suddenly turned into two lines of fire that extended up and down the statue. After circling the statue once, they merged into one.

As the Weeping Soul continued to infuse the statue with its Power of Law, the statue began to glow with a scarlet light. The layer of stone covering its body began to peel off bit by bit, and its true form was finally revealed.

The figure sealed within the statue was a burly man who was thirty feet tall. His upper body was bare, and his muscles were bulging. Circles of strange runes protruded from his blood-red skin, and he appeared to be filled with primitive power.

What was even stranger was that there was only an obvious scar on his neck that looked like a blood scab. He didn't have a head, and there were two golden eyes on his breasts.

"What the hell is this …" Seeing this, Jin Tong involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air and muttered.

The Weeping Soul also frowned.

Just as the Weeping Soul and Jin Tong were wondering about this, Han Li's voice rang in their ears. "This fellow … is most likely not from the World of Immortals."

"Hehehe … Hehehe …"

A burst of strange laughter rang out from the headless man's body. Han Li and the others instinctively put some distance between themselves and the headless man. When they looked at the headless man, they saw his abdomen bulge up and down, and a dull sound rang out.

"We're finally free! We're finally out! Haha! I didn't expect all of you to actually be able to break through this restriction!"

The headless man's voice grew louder and louder, and the madness and hatred in his voice grew stronger and stronger.

The tone of his voice was like a completely different person compared to before.

"Fellow Daoist, since you're already free, please keep your promise and lead the way."

Han Li placed his hands behind his back, and his palms that were hidden in his sleeves had already lit up. He was prepared to defend against the headless man's attack at any moment.

"The Netherworld has always been filled with lies, and there's no such thing as keeping one's promise.

All of you shall sacrifice yourselves for my battle axe, "the headless man's abdomen bulged as he spoke in a frenzied manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, a bloody glow appeared in his hand, and he held a blood red axe that was over ten feet tall.

Thump!

The headless man held the axe with a single hand as he stomped the ground heavily, and a powerful aura instantly rippled out from his body.

Han Li twisted his wrist, and a Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword appeared in his palm as he reprimanded, "You're at the peak of the Golden Immortal Realm, yet you're sealed here. Who exactly are you?"

"My name is … Xue Li!"

The headless man roared. After he took a step forward, a layer of red halo lit up on his body, and then he turned into a series of blurry shadows. No one could see his movements clearly, but he had already arrived behind the Weeping Soul and swung his axe down.

"Watch out …" Han Li roared. He had already activated the law of time in his body, and his figure instantly chased after the headless man.

The Weeping Soul had already reacted by charging forward, and just happened to dodge the blade of the giant axe.

"Rip …" There was a sound of cloth ripping, and the clothes on the back of the Weeping Soul were suddenly torn apart, and a spray of blood sprayed out.

At the same time, Han Li had already flashed behind Xue Li, and the longsword in his hand suddenly stabbed forward, aiming straight for the heart of the Weeping Soul's back.

However, at this moment, a strange scene appeared!

Xue Li did not turn around, but a strange "crack" came from the joints of his shoulder. His arm actually twisted, and he held the blood axe to block the blade of the sword.

Han Li's eyes focused. He formed a hand seal, and the Green Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword immediately exploded with a golden light.

Countless golden threads of electricity sizzled, turning into bolts of Du Tian Divine Thunder that shot out and enveloped Xue Li.

The eyes on Xue Li's chest were swept by the golden lightning, and he immediately closed them and let out a cry of pain.

The Weeping Soul immediately flew in front of him and landed next to Jin Tong.

Jin Tong looked over and saw that the flesh on the Weeping Soul's back had split open. A long, narrow line of blood almost ran through the entire back of the Weeping Soul. The wound was so deep that it was almost possible to see the vertebrae inside.

The Weeping Soul immediately flew into a rage. Her body flashed with golden light, and she suddenly charged toward Xue Li.

"Hah …"

At this time, Xue Li let out an explosive shout, and the giant axe in his hand glowed with runic light. A bloody whirlpool suddenly appeared on it.

The golden lightning released by Han Li's Cloudswarm Sword was immediately absorbed by the whirlpool and poured into the giant axe.

The giant axe was wrapped in golden light, and it swung in an arc in midair, chopping down at Han Li's head.

Brilliant crimson light erupted from his body, and a vast expanse of golden lightning surged down toward Han Li like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Han Li did not take the brunt of the attack head-on. His body flashed, and he dodged.

After the Du Tian Divine Thunder in Xue Li's giant axe was completely released, the bloody light on his body lit up again. His body turned into a series of afterimages as he chased after Han Li.

However, a streak of golden light appeared midway. It was the Golden Child who had rushed over.

Xue Li's body suddenly twisted, and his axe chopped down at Jin Tong.

At this time, Jin Tong's body glowed with golden light, and he instantly transformed into Golden Immortal Devourer's true form. Without dodging, he collided with the giant bloody axe.

"Clang!" A sharp sound rang out!

The blade of the giant bloody axe chopped down, but it was caught between Jin Tong's two front claws.

A strange light flashed in Xue Li's eyes, and he suddenly pressed down.

Jin Tong's body fell down, but he still tightly held onto Xue Li's giant axe.
