Chapter 2465 - 2444: Biluo Pool
Chapter 2444: Biluo Pool
As they continued forward, they didn’t encounter any living creatures along the way. The only things they occasionally saw were some pitch-black bones, as if this place was a forbidden zone of life—eerily silent. The earth was black, and even the sky was shrouded in black clouds. If it weren’t for Fire Spirit Xiao Huo illuminating their surroundings, they wouldn’t have been able to see what was around them at all!
After walking for a full two months, they suddenly came across a lake one day. The water of the lake was also pitch black, like ink, and they noticed a peculiar fact—this lake water emitted a very particular negative aura that was so strong that not even the Eternal Divine Flame could completely block it!
"If my guess is correct, everything around here is like this because of this lake infecting everything around it!"
Gazing at the not particularly large lake before them, Lin Feng said with a furrowed brow. He could already sense that there was definitely something wrong with this lake water, and he was even more certain that it was this lake water that had turned everything around black, infected by that peculiar aura the lake emitted!
"Brother Lin, you... you’re not planning to go in, are you?" Tao Tao asked fearfully as she looked at Lin Feng. The lake water was already like this even at rest; she couldn’t even imagine what it would be like if they went into it!
"Well, could we... could we not go in?" Ma Biaohu was also starting to panic at this point. Looking at the pitch-black lake, he didn’t think it was just a lake; it felt like the legendary Nether Water, capable of devouring everything. This fear was inside him, beyond his control.
At this moment, Tangyuan widened his small eyes, seriously observing the pitch-black lake. He suddenly spit out a book from his mouth and started flipping through it with his little paws. Shortly after, he stopped and said to Lin Feng and the others, "This... this is very likely the legendary Biluo Pool!"
"Biluo Pool?" Upon hearing this, Lin Feng immediately turned his gaze to Tangyuan. Not only Lin Feng, but both Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu also looked at Tangyuan!
"According to legend, the water in Biluo Pool is black, and wherever Biluo Pool appears, it can cover the entire area for hundreds of miles in black, turning it into a forbidden zone for the living. Doesn’t the area we’ve traveled through match the legend perfectly?"
Upon saying this, Tangyuan seriously added, "According to legend, the bottom of Biluo Pool leads to another world. Whether this is true or false, I truly do not know."
Lin Feng didn’t say anything but took the book from Tangyuan’s hands and began seriously examining it. It matched what Tangyuan had said, and Lin Feng noticed one thing: the book was an Ancient Book, preserved through some special method, indicating its extraordinary origins. He had no idea where Tangyuan had gotten it from.
"What Tangyuan said makes some sense. This really could be Biluo Pool!" After confirming the contents, Lin Feng also spoke, with many signs indicating that this place could very well be the legendary Biluo Pool.
Hearing Tangyuan and Lin Feng both say this, Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu couldn’t hold back anymore. They immediately came to Lin Feng’s side to look at the contents of the book, and upon seeing it, they both gasped involuntarily!
"Netherworld?"
"Impossible!"
The two could no longer remain calm, as neither of them could believe that the Netherworld truly existed in this world, especially not here. How could this be possible? Were they really going to the Netherworld? Wouldn’t that be a death sentence? Could living beings even go to such a place?
"I want to go see." Lin Feng expressed his opinion at this time, mainly out of curiosity, wanting to know what this so-called Netherworld really was. Moreover, there was a very important point: some particularly unique Alchemy Prescriptions inherited from the Absolute Heaven Pill Emperor involved Spiritual Medicine related to the Netherworld. Having encountered this place, he really didn’t want to miss it.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s intent to go to the Netherworld, both Ma Biaohu and Tao Tao involuntarily shivered, wanting to persuade Lin Feng not to go. But they suddenly realized one thing: Lin Feng never changed a decision once made, and if they didn’t go, where else could they go? They couldn’t possibly wait above ground for Lin Feng while he entered the Netherworld alone, right?
Recognizing this, they abandoned any opposition. Moreover, with Lin Feng’s protection, they thought that even going to the Netherworld might not be so problematic. Coming to terms with everything, they weren’t so nervous anymore!
"I’m going!"
"Damn it, it’s just one thing, isn’t it? I also want to see if there’s really an eighteen levels of Hell!"
Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu expressed their positions. Tao Tao spoke simply, while Ma Biaohu used more vulgar language to conceal his fear.
Seeing that Tao Tao and Ma Biaohu did not oppose, Lin Feng nodded and retrieved three Elixirs from his Space Ring, handing them to Tao Tao and the others. He then added, "These three pills are the Heavenly Qi Transformation Pill, which have the effect of warding off evil and rectifying misfortunes. If you feel something’s off, eat them immediately, understood?"
"Understood!"
"Understood!"
Tao Tao and the others immediately replied, carefully putting away the elixirs because they didn’t want any accidents to happen, knowing well that they were heading into the Netherworld...
Once Tao Tao and the others were prepared, Lin Feng didn’t waste any more words, immediately releasing his Divine Sense with full force, with Fire Spirit Xiao Huo enveloping them, protecting them as they headed towards the Biluo Pool.
Upon entering the Biluo Pool, the surrounding pool water dispersed around them, the three people and one beast seemed to be under an enormous bubble, walking into the Biluo Pool, disappearing beneath the pitch-black water surface in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Lin Feng’s expression changed. To his astonishment, he first felt the screams of countless wraiths, an overwhelmingly strong negative emotion infecting him. He immediately understood the situation, as such negative emotions could infect Divine Sense as well. Without hesitation, Lin Feng swallowed a Heavenly Qi Transformation Pill, instantly dispersing those negative emotions!
After resolving his own issue, Lin Feng knew that time couldn’t be wasted, quickly accelerating his pace and leading Tao Tao and the others swiftly downward!
Throughout this journey, they encountered countless pitch-black bones, with various types and sizes, including human bones, various demon beast bones, and even some unimaginably large beast bones. Everything at the bottom of this abyssal water seemed extremely oppressive, evoking a chilling feeling.
In a flash, Lin Feng and the others had been traveling for a full two hours. During this time, Lin Feng swallowed a soul-nourishing pill, as the pitch-black lake water could even corrode Divine Sense, increasing Lin Feng’s urgency. Although there were plenty of pills, he feared other unforeseen dangers!
"Quick, hold onto me!"
Suddenly, Lin Feng shouted, then directed the Eternal Divine Flame towards a nearby location!
Initially, Tao Tao and the others hadn’t reacted to what was happening, yet with the light from the Eternal Divine Flame, they unexpectedly spotted outside the Divine Consciousness Barrier a demon beast resembling a shark. What was odd was that this beast had no eyes, and it opened its large mouth to bite towards them!
Seeing this, Tao Tao and the others did not hesitate and followed Lin Feng’s direction, tightly holding onto him, after which Lin Feng rushed to the lake bottom without delay...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
The bizarre demon beast chasing behind them was opening its pitch-black mouth and ceaselessly assaulting Lin Feng’s Divine Consciousness Barrier, terrifying him. The beast somehow managed to devour parts of Divine Sense with each attack, and it almost made Lin Feng vomit blood. He immediately continued taking soul-nourishing pills to maintain the integrity of the Divine Consciousness Barrier!
As for turning to defeat the beast, Lin Feng didn’t even consider it. This was the beast’s main battlefield, with the horrifying surrounding waters leaving him no chance to battle. Furthermore, he contemplated other possibilities, wondering if there was only one beast at the Biluo Pool’s bottom, as encountering more would mean greater danger for them!
Perhaps due to their extraordinary luck, during their subsequent rapid dash along the lake bottom, aside from the continued pursuit by the beast, they didn’t encounter any other demon beasts. After around an hour, they finally reached an area emitting an eerie green light.
What shocked them more was that upon entering this green-lit area, the beast suddenly stopped pursuing, leaving them bewildered.
"There!"
Lin Feng suddenly discovered that within the green-lit area, there was no black lake water. At its center was a spot radiating radiant green light, prompting Lin Feng to lead Tao Tao and the others towards it.
Not very large, they swiftly arrived at the green-lit location, where they saw a cave, roughly a person in width, with the green light emanating from its opening.
Standing at the cave entrance, Lin Feng hesitated momentarily, then immediately had Tao Tao and the others consume a Heavenly Qi Transformation Pill since the situation below was unknown.
Watching Tao Tao and the others take the pill, Lin Feng collected himself, glanced at the radiant green-lit cave entrance, and leapt down!
During the entire descent, Lin Feng and the others were surprised to encounter no danger, and the pace wasn’t particularly fast. The surrounding cave walls inexplicably glowed with that radiant green light, seemingly breathing, which felt somewhat unsettling, yet beyond that, there was no other sensation...
