<h4>Chapter 474: Rescue: Part 1</h4>


    Legends were born here.


    Histories were annihted here.


    A massive vortex roiled and roiled ceaselessly in the sky.


    Dar, twisted smoke pirs could be seen all over the ground, and within the smoke pirs were faces writhing in pain that appeared and disappeared.


    They were all countless souls snatched from other worlds.


    Some of them were humans, while others were non-human beings.


    No matter what race they were, though, if their spirits hade here after death, that meant they were destined to never be able to escape the fate of being fodder.


    Huge, ck smoke pirs connected the ground to the sky, like how As held the world and turned the entire world into a cavern.


    The Underworld was also known as the Ashen World, it was a massive world that existed on the back of the world. It had existed for all of that while absorbing countless souls as fuel.


    Be it good or evil souls, for this world, all of them were good nourishment.


    Dark pirs densely covered thend dotted with ck ruptures, and in one of the thickest smoke pirs.


    *Crash!!!*


    A massive ck w slowly reached out from the smoke pir.


    The w had three sharp talons, and following that was a thick and powerful gray arm and an upper body with a crocodile head. The being that came out from the smoke pir, was a hundred-meter-tall giant crocodile man.


    A vicious glint shone in its eyes, as the subtle call of the summoning rang in its consciousness.


    It ripped open the space before it with a w and walked slowly into the dark rift.


    “Faldt is summoning more of his body that fast? Ridiculous. I, Netherde Sylvest, responds to your call,” a loud voice in a bizarre tongue rang across the area.


    And just as it was ready to close the dimensional rift, a pir of white light appeared out of thin air beside the smoke pir, just right on the edge of the rift.


    The light pir was sharper than the smoke pir as if a white spike that had been hammered into the ground.


    While its size was smaller, the power fluctuation within it was not weak.


    “Is this the Underworld?” Just as Netherde Sylvest was surprised, a rumbling voice rang out from the pir.


    *Hiss!!!*


    In an instant, as if ink had dripped into it, arge number of white light streams suddenly rippled out from the light pir.


    Amidst the countless light streams, a white knight in heavy armor was suspended in the light as he floated in the air.


    “This is the Demiurge’s Pir, the resting ce of many of the Underworld’s Magisters. And you are?” The Netherde felt that white light had an overwhelming feel to it, and asked first.


    “I am the Holyspirit King!”


    The body of the white knight suddenly swelled and erged as two sharp spiral horns appeared on his head, and a surge of terrifying chaotic soul energies mixed and radiated from the holy light.


    The holy light and the chaotic souls, upon entering the Underworld, were like a pack of ravenous wolves charging into a sheep’s pen as they ravaged every ce they touched, without any resistance.


    *Booomm!!!*


    A massive surge of holy power and chaotic souls formed into an overwhelming force that transcended the ranks of the Ptinates suddenly sted out, and radiating a hundred meters out and engulfing hundreds of square meters around him in white.


    That quickly made the Netherde pull his original contemptuous attitude back.


    His instincts told him that his opponent’s power seemed to be very antagonistic against him, and if they were to fight, he was not very optimistic about the result even when he was stronger.


    “Holyspirit King I am the Vanguard of the Underworld, Sylvest the Netherde!” From the rift, the crocodile man returned to his original position and stared at Lin Sheng from above.


    Lin Sheng simrly also looked up at the hundred-meter-tall giant.


    While the two had a massive difference in size, they almost equaled in their disposition.


    “I have never heard of the title of a Holyspirit King. There was however a tribe that called themselves the Darkspirits in the nearby dimension.” Sylvest had lived long, and had naturally heard of the Darkspirits.


    “My powers had not yet fully awakened, and your Deimer, Faldt had taken advantage of my moment of weakness, killed my disciple, and snatched his soul!” Lin Sheng said coldly and did not answer the Netherde’s question.


    “Faldt the Deimer?” Sylvest the Netherdeughed. “It seems like you are also after that person’s head. Faldt the Deimer has plenty of foes in the Underworld. So how about this, should we join forces to kill him?”


    “Foes?” Lin Sheng had anticipated a battle the moment he arrived there and did not expect toe across such juicy intel right away.


    Fortunately, they were all top-level masters of controlling the souls, so theymunicated directly using souls, with no worry of anynguage barriers.


    Else, he would have very well missed the most important information here.


    “That’s it.” The Netherde smiled. “Or else why do you think of so many Magisters, he was the only one who could sneak out. There are many within the Demiurge’s Pir that he had offended, and as he had too many enemies, things were getting more and more difficult here. If they were to find out that he had snuck out, those Magisters would not let him off easily.”


    “Is that so?” Lin Sheng had a change of mind. “That means to say, you know where Faldt’s real body is at?”


    “No. If his body was to be found that easily by the other Magisters, he would have never lived until today.” Sylvest sneered. “From your aura, you are probably not from the human realm, right? We need to find another gateway to the human world...”


    “I can open the way to the human world.” Lin Sheng calmly said. “But, since both you and I want to kill Faldt, what ns do you have in mind?”


    “I do have a n. Faldt have too many enemies here in the Underworld, so he had to find a way to escape. Now he had indeed found the opportunity, we need to kill him in a single stroke, andpletely annihte his soul. So I cannot reveal the n to you that easily.” Sylvest said inly.


    “I understand.” Lin Sheng nodded. “But, if I were to help you open the way to the human world, that should be proof enough that I’m not Faldt’s spy?”


    “That will work.” The Netherde agreed. “As long as you can open a gateway to the human world, and locate Faldt’s real body. I have already recruited another Magister, we will act together then.”


    “The best is to strike right after Faldtpletes the summoning of his true body. I want his soul to be rendered into oblivion, with nothing left!” Lin Sheng spat viciously.


    “But if that is the case, you need to bring us into the human world. Or else when the timees, ourbined strength would not be enough topletely kill him. And if he cannot fight us, as a Deimer, he is very capable of escaping. We cannot allow anyxness.” Sylvest rumbled.


    “Sure.” Lin Sheng may look furious, but his heart was calm.


    On the surface, this massive bloke wanted to kill Faldt, and also take the opportunity to enter the human world for some sport.


    However, what he had not thought about was that the incursion of the Underworld was not the most critical problem now.


    The most dangerous of all was the cktide.


    The Ashen World and the cktide were threats of totally different levels.


    On the surface, the energy of the Underworld Force was very simr to the ck aura of the cktide, but in reality, they were two different kinds of energies.
