Chapter 769: Chapter 731: Netherworld Prison_1

"You go in first, and I’ll follow immediately,"

the Realm God, entrusting his form to Fan Di’s skeletal remains, pointed with a white, ghastly segment of bone toward the Boundary Wall that both could sense and said in a profound tone, "Pang Jian, you will be surprised by the Netherworld Prison."

Pang Jian was taken aback, "What do you mean by that?"

"You’ll know once you go," the old generation Realm God replied indifferently.

"Alright!"

Pang Jian hesitated no more, stepped past His skeletal remains, and flew toward the Boundary Wall.

Without encountering any obstruction, his Immortal Primordial Spirit was like passing through a curtain of water; the very next moment, he appeared inside the Netherworld Prison.

There was actually no Mysterious Fog!

Unlike all other realms signified by the word "Prison," the moment he passed through the Boundary Wall, a fresh and magical world was instantly brought into his view!

When he entered any other realm signified by "Prison," what he saw through the Boundary Wall was still Mysterious Fog, and he would need to pass through the Mysterious Fog to see the realm’s true form.

However, Netherworld Prison was different; there wasn’t a single thread of Mysterious Fog inside it, and upon entry, it was a whole new world!

There seemed to be no strict division into layers here. Standing in the center of this world, the first thing he saw was the sporadic Fragment Land and the ground below.

The Fragment Land and the ground varied in height and were scattered chaotically in the void, without any concept of layers.

It was much broader than Purgatory, with so many pieces of Fragment Land and ground filling the space and yet not obstructing the penetration of light.

This strange world had no thick Demon Element Power that formed the Devil Sky, separating the Fourth Realm from the Fifth Realm.

There were also no grey, overcast Lead Clouds that perpetually dimmed the Fourth Realm, making it impossible for its living beings to see the sun, moon, and stars.

Here, the stars and the sun and moon coexisted together in the Star River!

Without the sky curtain of Demon Element Power or thick Lead Clouds, the creatures of this world merely needed to look up to see the splendid Star River of the sun, moon, and stars shining together when the sky was clear.

Pang Jian looked down and found that the bottom of the Netherworld Prison was a vast, azure ocean.

Just as in the bottom layer of Purgatory, where a piece of land filled the Seventh Realm with copper, the ocean filled the entire bottom space of the Netherworld Prison!

Within the vast ocean, patches of land were scattered like stars across the sky, some islands as small as grains of rice.

"Huh!"

Pang Jian took a deep breath, his body shook and he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Spiritual Energy!"

Other than Purgatory, this was another realm signified by "Prison" that was filled with nature’s Spiritual Energy!

He sensed quietly and distinctly perceived nature’s Spiritual Energy continuously settling down from the heavens above, falling onto the ocean at the bottom of Netherworld Prison, as well as onto the patches of Fragment Land and land.

The Spiritual Energy here, similar yet vastly different from that in Purgatory!

The deeper he went, the richer the Spiritual Energy became!

In his judgment, the creatures living in the lowest ocean of Netherworld Prison, as well as on the ocean’s lands and Fragment Lands, must indeed be the most powerful and influential people of Netherworld Prison!

The reason was simple: in those regions, beings with strong bloodlines and power could absorb more energy.

"Bang!"

Not far away, on a piece of Fragment Land, a ship made from Beast Bones had just risen into the sky when it was smashed to pieces by the force within the Fragment Land.

The vessel immediately caught Pang Jian’s attention. He concentrated his Divine Consciousness, and his expression changed yet again.

From the destroyed Beast Bone ship, a few individuals like him, of the Human Race, emerged—some with black hair and eyes, others with blue eyes and golden hair, and even some with red hair but emerald green eyes.

Although they looked different, those people seemed to belong to the Human Race, without distinctive bloodlines and naturally weaker physiques.

Yet, the magnetic fields of their souls were astonishingly powerful!

"Kill!"

"Kill these damn Nether Tribe members!"

In the Fragment Land, suddenly, a huge Demon Fiend emerged, as well as Giant Spirit Race warriors with three heads and six arms, charging out to pounce and kill Pang Jian and the so-called strong members of the Human Race.

"Nether Tribe!"

Pang Jian was greatly shocked.

The true members of the Nether Tribe actually resembled the Human Race of Purgatory so closely, without any special bloodlines, born physically weak, but each with a powerful soul.

"Kill!"

"Kill! Kill!"

In the farther reaches of the Fragment Lands, and on various surfaces above, battles also erupted, with shouts and cries of war not ceasing.

The Demon Clan, Heaven Clan, Ghost Clan, Giant Spirit Race, even Great Demons, and so-called Ferocious Beasts and Monsters, many peculiar and strange tribal warriors, were all surrounding and slaughtering the Nether Tribe members who looked like the Human Race.

Pang Jian silently observed for a while and realized that the chased Nether Tribe members had all previously lived in resplendent castles.

The Nether Tribe was few in number on those Fragment Lands and surfaces but possessed absolute dominion; they were the original masters of the Fragment Lands and the surfaces.

All other tribes outside the Nether Tribe were their vassals, their slaves, enslaved to undertake various kinds of work.

Mining rare ores, cultivating spirit herbs and picking spirit medicine, forging weapons and constructing houses.

Beautiful Alien Tribes girls had to carefully serve them, providing them with joy, and offering them fine wines and foods.

In short, every member of the Nether Tribe in the heavens’ Fragment Lands and surfaces was a person of immense dignity, enjoying the best services.

Now, those Alien Tribes who had been enslaved by the Nether Tribe, stirred up by the Realm Gods from outside, guided by powerful forces, began to hunt down these honored Nether Tribe members.

While the flames of war had only recently been ignited, chunks of Fragment Land and surfaces had already been successively affected.

"Are you very surprised?"

An incredibly sweet voice came from behind Pang Jian.

Without turning his head, he sensed with his Divine Consciousness that a beautiful woman with the upper body of a Human Race female and the lower body of a fish’s tail had entered, alongside the skeleton of Fan Di.

The older Realm God had let him in first, apparently waiting for this beautiful Sea Clan woman.

"My name is Haiwei, and I’m a Realm God, just like you. I come from the Sea Prison."

Clad in a light gauzy dress, with an alluring figure partially visible, the Sea Clan God Spirit took the initiative to introduce herself.

"Hmm, the Netherworld Prison is different from the other ’prison’ worlds indeed; it surprises me," Pang Jian responded indifferently.

"I heard that you have come from Purgatory? Are you the Realm God of Purgatory?" Haiwei asked.

"That’s right." Pang Jian did not deny. He addressed the older Realm God, whose Primordial Spirit was housed within Fan Di, saying, "Is this retaliation against the Netherworld Prison starting with those Nether Race warriors from the Fragment Lands and surfaces?"

"Yes, the truly powerful Nether Race warriors and God Spirits are in the ocean’s bottom surface lands." The older Realm God nodded lightly and said, "It’s too unwise to fight them in the places they’ve operated for millions of years, so we’re using this method to force them to come out on their own."

Hearing this, Pang Jian pondered.

At that moment, Haiwei looked down at the deep sea of the bottom layer of the Netherworld Prison, and a deep-seated hatred gradually appeared in her soul-snatching eyes.

Biting her pearly teeth, she said resentfully, "Those Nether Race warriors, after they conquered our Sea Prison, not only plundered much of our Sea Clan’s treasures but also took away many of our life seeds!"

"The Sea Clan living in the seas below probably do not even know where they came from, and might think they are originally part of the Netherworld Prison."

"The Nether Tribe must pay the price for their atrocities!"
