Wu Shattered Star River

After the time it takes to make a small half-day journey, the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit, guided by Jiang Han, arrived near Deer Park.

Jiang Han instructed the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit to lie dormant within a nearby hill, sensing the surrounding fluctuations. Once the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor approached, it was to immediately enter the grasslands of Deer Park.

After waiting for over an hour, the space rippled, and then a long spear pierced through the void. The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor's figure materialized from mid-air.

Accompanying him was Zhang Xionggi. With only a remnant soul remaining, Jiang Han was no match for them. Zhang Xionggi, fearless, directly revealed his figure.

"Whoosh!"

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit possessed extremely keen perception and detected them a step earlier. Without hesitation, it controlled the Heavenly Beast Cauldron, tearing through the void and diving into the grassland below.

"Uh…"

As a Buddhist disciple, Zhang Xionggi had some understanding of the Naranda Secret Realm. He had heard of Deer Park's renowned reputation.

Wrathful Leaf Vajra had warned him not to rashly enter the grasslands of Deer Park.

When the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor saw the Heavenly Beast Cauldron entering the grassland and disappearing, he hesitated. Noticing Zhang Xionggi's uneasy expression, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xionggi explained, "Wrathful Leaf Vajra told me not to enter Deer Park, as it's easy to get trapped inside."

"Heh heh!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor didn't care. Zhang Xionggi was a King-level cultivator who had rebuilt his Immortal Seal, but his combat power was currently weak.

Wrathful Leaf had told Zhang Xionggi not to enter, but there would naturally be no problem for him, an Emperor-level cultivator, to enter.

Without hesitation, he said, "You stay outside. I'll go in and pursue."

Zhang Xionggi frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let me go in with you. There's an Emperor-level demon nearby. I'm afraid of being discovered, as it would be very dangerous."

Although his banner concealment ability was strong, if anything were to happen, his current combat power was too weak. If he were discovered by an Emperor-level demon, he would surely die.

Wrathful Leaf had only said that Deer Park could trap people, not that it was dangerous. The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor was an Immortal Emperor; he should be able to bring him out, right?

"Let's go!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor didn't care and led him directly into the grassland.

A flash of white light passed, and the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor and Zhang Xionggi found themselves in a long, black-red river. As soon as they entered, they discovered spirit deer in the river attacking them.

"Get lost!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor coldly shouted, thrusting out his long spear and killing over a dozen spirit deer nearby.

These spirit deer had decent combat power, but to the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor, they were no different from ants, killed with a single spear each.

"Go!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor glanced back at the light gate behind him, not paying much attention. He grabbed Zhang Xionggi with one hand and rapidly flew forward.

Seeing the Heavenly Beast Cauldron rapidly flying in the distance, he naturally wanted to pursue and kill it.

"There's nothing dangerous here?"

After chasing for a while, other than a few spirit deer suddenly ambushing them, the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor didn't find anything dangerous.

Zhang Xionggi also didn't notice any problems. The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor didn't care too much and continued to chase rapidly.

After chasing for tens of thousands of miles, he noticed that the flow speed of this Underworld River had increased significantly.

Even if he didn't fly forward, the river would carry him forward, and the speed wasn't slow.

He frowned, stopped, and thought about flying back.

But as soon as he flew back, he discovered a problem!

When he flew forward, there was no problem. But as soon as he turned around to fly back, he felt a powerful force suddenly enveloping him, reducing his speed by dozens of times.

If he flew at full speed, he could move backward, but the speed was as slow as a snail, even slower than the flow of the river.

In other words!

He wanted to go against the current and fly back to the previous light gate to leave, but he couldn't do it at all.

"How is that possible?"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor's eyes narrowed, revealing a look of panic. With such powerful combat power, he couldn't go against the current in a river?

"Drink!"

He suddenly struck out with several palms, causing the Underworld River to shake violently, but the shaking of the Underworld River only made him slower.

He furiously thrust out his long spear, wanting to tear the Underworld River apart. Although space was torn apart with cracks, the Underworld River continued to flow without any impact.

"Whoosh!"

He didn't fly forward but flew towards the edge of the Underworld River. The Underworld River was only a few thousand feet wide; he didn't believe he couldn't fly out of it.

However, when he flew to the boundary of the Underworld River, a magical thing happened—

He flew towards the outside of the Underworld River, but a flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and his body instantly teleported, appearing in the central area of the Underworld River.

"This is strange!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor had a ghostly expression. Zhang Xionggi not far away also tried to fly back, but he could only stand in place despite his best efforts. He exclaimed, "Uncle Mo, what do we do?"

"Don't panic!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor said in a deep voice, "Don't move. I'll think of a solution."

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor took out a small boat, stepped into it, and then rode the boat against the current. But he found that the same thing happened; his speed against the current couldn't match the flow of the river…

He tried many other methods, releasing many attacks, trying to collapse the Underworld River. He even pierced through space, but found that he would instantly return.

After spending the time it takes to burn three incense sticks, he tried dozens of methods and sadly discovered a fact—he couldn't go against the current, which meant he and Zhang Xionggi couldn't get out and were temporarily trapped inside.

"Uncle Mo, what do we do?"

"Uncle Mo, quickly think of a solution!"

"The aura of this ghostly Underworld River is very strong. Could it be connected to the Underworld?"

"Uncle Mo, if we keep going down the river, won't we enter the Asura Hell?"

Zhang Xionggi panicked. He had never encountered any difficulties in his life. Except for being kidnapped last time, he hadn't suffered too many hardships.

At the thought of possibly being dragged into the Asura Hell, he panicked immensely. He was very afraid of dying inside.

"Don't panic!"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Even the Asura Hell isn't that scary. There are only some demons below, at most some Emperor-level demons. We can become invisible, and I'm still an Emperor-level cultivator. What's there to be afraid of?"

The Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor comforted Zhang Xionggi, but he was also panicking inside. Even an Emperor-level cultivator would panic at the unknown dangers.

How many demons had poured out this time when they opened the seal? Who knew how many demons were in the Asura Hell below? How many Emperor-level demons were there?

On the other side.

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron was also going downstream. Jiang Han had the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit try to go against the current, but the Heavenly Beast Cauldron also suffered a powerful force, and its speed was greatly reduced, making it impossible to go against the current.

However, after the Heavenly Beast Cauldron's artifact spirit said that the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor and Zhang Xionggi had tried many methods and couldn't go against the current, Jiang Han wasn't so anxious anymore.

At least he had dragged the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor and Zhang Xionggi into this.

At least Jiang Li was safe.

Having an Emperor-level cultivator and a grandson of the Jade Emperor buried with him was worth it!

The surroundings of the Underworld River were dark. The Underworld River flowed all the way down, not knowing how long it was or where it led.

The further down, the faster the Underworld River flowed.

The Heavenly Beast Cauldron and the Heavenly Desolate Immortal Emperor and Zhang Xionggi became three duckweeds in the angry river, unable to control their figures, only able to drift with the current, all the way down, heading towards that unknown region.
