Chapter 1124: 798 Impersonating the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord

It can be said that the Western Saints would not do anything that might lead to the destruction of the Western religious sect.

Therefore, even though the Western Saints inwardly wished they could tear the Underworld River Ancestor to shreds, they would not dare to kill him. The price of drying up the Sea of Blood and the Underworld River was too much for them to bear.

Of course, just because they could not kill didn’t mean the Western Saints had no way of handling the Underworld River Ancestor. Without killing the Underworld River Ancestor, the Sea of Blood and the Underworld River would not be endangered.

So what could they do? We won’t kill you, but what if we seal you instead? Not dying doesn’t mean you can’t be sealed. And now, the Underworld River Ancestor has unfortunately been sealed by the Western Saints, and theoretically, he won’t be unsealed in this lifetime.

"The Underworld River is vast and pervasive, covering the entire Netherworld. The state of the Underworld River Ancestor should be better than I imagined."

Upon seeing the Underworld River again, Jiang Chen realized he had made a misconception. He thought that the Underworld River Ancestor, sealed by the combined forces of the Western Saints, would be in poor condition, if not in a deep sleep, then at least severely injured.

But the reality was the complete opposite. Not only was the Underworld River Ancestor not injured, but his condition was actually very good, except for being immobile, everything else was in peak form.

The Underworld River that pervades the entire Netherworld can be seen as part of the Underworld River Ancestor. Therefore, the state of the Underworld River could somewhat reflect the state of the Underworld River Ancestor.

If the Underworld River was intermittent and on the verge of drying up, it would indicate that the Underworld River Ancestor was gravely injured and close to death.

On the contrary, if the Underworld River was vast and flowing endlessly, it would mean that the state of the Underworld River Ancestor was unprecedentedly good.

"Tsk tsk, the capabilities of the Underworld River Ancestor are truly formidable."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but admire. Not every sealed being ended up with a tragic fate, either tortured or suppressed to the point of extreme weakness.

Unlike the Underworld River Ancestor, who was entirely sealed. Apart from limiting his freedom, the Western Saints didn’t even dare to harm him.

It’s clear that even the Western Saints felt frustrated—capturing an enemy they could neither kill nor beat, only able to imprison him and find ways to prevent his escape.

"It’s truly very difficult."

Putting himself in their shoes, Jiang Chen felt that if he encountered an enemy like the Underworld River Ancestor, he probably wouldn’t have any good methods either, only to seal him until the arrival of the Immeasurable Kalpa.

Just the act of killing the Underworld River Ancestor was difficult enough, let alone annihilating him completely.

The connection between the Underworld River Ancestor and Heaven and Earth was profound. To completely kill him, one would first have to erase the presence of the Sea of Blood, then annihilate the Asura Religion, kill all the Asuras, and by the way, erase all traces of their existence.

Even so, that would not be enough. One would also have to destroy the Underworld River Ancestor’s accompanying treasures such as Yuan Tu, Abi, and the North’s Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag, as well as the Twelve Karma Fire Red Lotuses before truly annihilating the Underworld River.

Clearly, accomplishing all the above is practically impossible, so in theory, completely killing the Underworld River Ancestor doesn’t exist.

The Sea of Blood is part of the natural cycle of Heaven and Earth, and the Underworld River Ancestor, sharing the same origin, how could he be easy to kill? Killing him would likely throw the Chaos World into disarray.

Even though it’s said that the world doesn’t stop turning for anyone.

But, the Underworld River Ancestor is special and cannot be judged by ordinary standards. Having assimilated the Sea of Blood, he is no longer just an individual; he is the Sea of Blood.

The world can go on without anyone, but without the Sea of Blood, that’s not certain anymore. It’s just like back when Di Jun lacked the strength; if he had managed to assimilate the Sun Star, then see if the Chaos World could still revolve without him?

If Di Jun had really assimilated the Sun Star, even the Saints would have to yield to him. No matter how much the Twelve Ancestral Witches hated him, they wouldn’t wage war against Di Jun again.

If the Sun Star were to suffer problems, that would result in a massive issue; the whole Chaos World would be doomed.

...

...

After lingering near the Underworld River for a long time, Jiang Chen discreetly activated his Tao Mirror and carefully examined himself. Once he confirmed no one was following him, he then used his Divine Ability to cross through layers of space and arrived at the source of the Underworld River.

Conspiring with the Underworld River Ancestor was a serious matter that could offend the Saints, so Jiang Chen naturally had to be cautious to avoid any leaks beforehand.

Jiang Chen was not afraid of offending the Western Saints; he was more concerned that if they got wind of his plans beforehand, they would fortify the seal on the Underworld River Ancestor, preventing him from rescuing the Underworld River Ancestor as planned.

If that were to happen, it would be troublesome.

While the Underworld River Ancestor’s situation seemed dire, Jiang Chen was very confident in his strength, believing that he alone could withstand several top-tier Great Divine Transcendents.

Nonsense, if an existence that two Saints collaboratively targeted wasn’t strong, then what was?

Jiang Chen regarded the Underworld River Ancestor as a significant ally. Absolutely nothing could go wrong with him, for if they failed to rescue him at the critical moment, it would be a farce.

In the past, Jiang Chen would need several days of travel to reach the source of the Underworld River and see the Underworld River Ancestor.

But now, times had changed. If Jiang Chen wished to see the Underworld River Ancestor, he could arrive close to him with just a single thought.

Well, ’close’ doesn’t mean face-to-face. Jiang Chen didn’t dare to get too close, to avoid triggering the seals on the Underworld River Ancestor and thus alerting the Western Saints.

When dealing with Saints, one can never be too careful. That’s why when Jiang Chen arrived here, he didn’t dare to use his own face but instead took on the appearance of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Lord.
