137: Deep into the Netherworld, they encountered a powerful demon!

8:00 PM.

The night was cool as water, and the starry sky was brilliant.

A flash of brilliance flickered, and Su Yan's figure appeared at the checkpoint in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

To go from the Imperial Capital to the Nine Netherworld, one must pass through here.

That's right, the entrance to the Nine Netherworld.

It was actually located in the no-man's land outside the Imperial Capital city!

Su Yan looked up.

He saw lights in the distance piercing through the night sky, illuminating the checkpoint in a bizarre and grotesque manner.

A group of heavily armed guards stood before the Imperial Capital barrier, firmly sealing off the road leading out of the city.

Su Yan stepped forward.

"Identity: Imperial Capital University Human Emperor Class student, Su Yan."

"Destination: Nine Netherworld."

"Permission verification in progress..."

"Verification passed. Wishing you a safe journey!"

Very soon.

Possessing the unlimited entry quota for the Nine Netherworld issued by the Red Building, Su Yan successfully passed the checkpoint verification.

Rumble!

The Imperial Capital barrier let out a series of whistling sounds as a crack opened within it.

Su Yan did not hesitate and stepped out.

In the blink of an eye.

As the barrier behind him closed again.

Su Yan already found himself outside the Imperial Capital.

In other words, a place abandoned by urban civilization.

The land before his eyes was deathly silent.

Under the silvery moonlight, it appeared extremely desolate and cold.

The surface was bare, with not a single blade of grass growing, and it looked as if it had been plowed by something, leaving a scene of total devastation.

It formed a world of difference from the prosperous Imperial Capital.

"What exactly happened here before for it to become like this?"

Su Yan frowned slightly.

His body flew high into the sky, and he activated his Talent, Eye of the Gods.

His gaze scanned the surroundings in the distance, but he didn't find a single living creature.

There wasn't even an ant.

"Forget it, I'll go to the Nine Netherworld first."

Su Yan sighed; he had no time to waste here.

After all, these no-man's lands outside the cities...

...had already existed for two hundred years.

And so.

Carrying expectations for the Nine Netherworld and an urgent desire to become a Supreme God.

Su Yan followed the navigation of the Eye of the Gods.

His figure flickered, and in an instant, he arrived at the entrance to the Nine Netherworld... the entrance to the Nine Netherworld.

It was situated five thousand kilometers north of the Imperial Capital.

Looking at it...

...a massive gate-shaped structure made of a pitch-black, unknown material.

It was full of an ancient and heavy feeling.

It looked more like the entrance to a ruin.

Light and shadows drifted within the gate, resembling a black hole that swallowed all matter.

When a person enters, they are transported to the distant Nine Netherworld.

The next moment.

Su Yan's figure appeared there.

"Nine Nether Treasure Hunting Group recruiting! Seeking experts of War General Rank 5 or above to explore the central region of the Nine Nether. Come and sign up quickly!"

"Crystal Energy Mining Company recruiting Advanced Miners. Base salary of 28,000, room and board included. Priority given to those at Private rank or above!"

"Kua La La recruiting! Requirement: Must have a speed-related Talent. Excellent benefits. We don't produce ore; we're just the porters of the Nine Nether!"

He hadn't expected it.

This entrance to the Nine Netherworld was actually livelier than imagined.

Quite a few people were gathered around.

There were experts from the Demon Slaying Institute responsible for guarding this place.

There were also many people looking for teams.

This was extremely similar to the scene in front of a dungeon entrance in Divine Punishment.

"Little brother, are you here to mine?"

As soon as Su Yan appeared, someone immediately came forward to question him.

Su Yan's mouth twitched.

Mining, my foot!

He naturally ignored them and walked straight to the entrance of the Nine Netherworld.

"Scanning entry permissions..."

"Scan complete. Remaining Nine Netherworld entries: Unlimited."

Once the machine finished scanning.

Su Yan's unlimited entry permission...

...unsurprisingly, immediately caused a sensation.

The people around all crowded up and immediately recognized Su Yan's identity.

After all, the matter of Su Yan being fought over by prestigious schools worldwide...

...had long since spread throughout the entire China nation.

And the unlimited Nine Netherworld opportunities provided to Su Yan by the Red Building were also known to everyone.

Amidst a wave of envy and jealousy.

Su Yan only left everyone with the view of his back.

He stepped into the entrance of the Nine Netherworld,

and disappeared into this dim and lifeless world... Whoosh!

The scenery before his eyes flew past, and his consciousness was being pulled.

This feeling...

...was extremely similar to the feeling of using a Teleportation Array.

But Su Yan had only used a Teleportation Array once, and it ended in just an instant.

However, after his body entered this Nine Netherworld entrance...

...a full half-minute passed.

Only then did Su Yan's feet step onto solid ground again.

"I've arrived?"

Looking up and glancing around, a hint of joy appeared deep in Su Yan's eyes.

At this moment.

He had already appeared in a completely unfamiliar place.

This unfamiliarity...

...was relative to Blue Star.

Su Yan could strongly feel it.

This was a world completely different from Blue Star.

The most obvious difference was...

...there was no moon in the night sky here.

Instead, a massive purple sphere hung there, illuminating the entire world in an eerie purple light.

"Let's go, straight to the depths of the Nine Netherworld!"

After scanning his surroundings, Su Yan whispered to himself.

According to the information found online.

The Nine Netherworld was incredibly vast.

In two hundred years.

The places the Human Race had been able to explore so far were merely the outermost fringes of the Nine Netherworld.

They hadn't even encountered a formal Demon Race army yet.

The Demon Race was busy invading Blue Star.

While the Human Race was also busy raiding the Demon Race's home.

Right now.

Su Yan teleported directly toward the depths of the Nine Netherworld.

Swoosh!

His figure flickered.

The power of a Demi-God enveloped this part of the Nine Netherworld.

In an instant.

Su Yan didn't even know where he had teleported to.

But he saw ahead...

...under the radiance of the purple light filling the sky.

A cold, tall, and bizarrely shaped city stood in the night.

The city was built between two mountain Peaks.

It was like a mountain pass.

Blocking the road leading behind the mountains.

And on the city walls...

...many torchlights were burning.

Iron chains hung all over the city top, and Demon Race guards were patrolling the walls.

"Asalu!"

At this moment, a beastly roar that shook the heavens and earth suddenly came from the city wall.

A Minotaur Demon General was staring fixedly at Su Yan high in the sky with a pair of ferocious eyes.

He had clearly discovered Su Yan!

"Heh, the alertness is decent."

Su Yan simply curled his lip indifferently.

After seeing this city.

He could finally be certain that he had gone deep into the Nine Netherworld.

Then what was he waiting for?

Let's do this!

Boom, boom, boom!

On the city wall, a large group of demon soldiers and generals were rushing toward the ramparts.

Additionally, three Demon Race figures pierced through the defensive barrier and flew into the sky.

Su Yan perceived...

...that the auras of these three figures were extremely powerful.

Although he didn't know what rank they held among the Demon Race.

If placed in the Human Race, they would be at least at the Peak War King level!

There was even a Rank 3 War God existence!

"Not bad, this is getting interesting."

Su Yan watched, a contemptuous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Where did this human come from, daring to trespass into my Nine Nether Holy Land!"

High in the sky, that Rank 3 War God minotaur expert suddenly spoke.

His turbid and violent eyes were filled with shock.

He seemingly never expected that a human could actually fight their way here.

Where did he pop out from?

However, this minotaur expert...

...was actually speaking a language Su Yan could understand.

Su Yan immediately praised in his heart.

That makes things much easier.

He looked up and sneered, "Listen well, I am the Human Race Demon Slayer, and I have come specifically to slay you all!"

The minotaur expert laughed loudly, "What arrogant words! With just you?"

"That's right, with just me!"

As Su Yan's voice fell.

With a *poof* sound.

A pair of pure white Wings of Divinity spread out behind him.

A fireball danced in his palm, emitting a terrifying aura.

Su Yan laughed coldly, "Come then, I wonder which of you can take this little fireball of mine?"
