The Netherworld Castle
A few thousand meters away from the Holy City, there was a vast desert. Yellow sand was everywhere, and no one dared to go there!
Suddenly, the vast desert began to tremble violently. Countless grains of yellow sand formed a terrifying sandstorm that wreaked havoc. Soon after, a huge hole appeared in the center of the desert. A black castle that was no smaller than the Holy City slowly emerged from the hole.
Whoosh!
The Netherworld Castle leaped out of the hole like a colossus and soared into the sky!
Even though the Nether Castle couldn't be considered as a Spirit Artifact, its hardness wasn't inferior to a high-grade Earth Rank Spirit Artifact after it was modified by the Nether King. If he hid within the Nether Castle, then even a high-grade Earth Rank Spirit Artifact wouldn't be able to break through the defenses of the Nether Castle!
The enormous Netherworld Castle was suspended high in the sky, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless members of the Lost Clan in the Holy City thousands of miles away. They looked up at the huge Netherworld Castle, and their faces were filled with horror!
"What … what is that thing?
Why is it so huge? "
"It looks like a castle from the outside. A castle that is as big as our Holy City!"
"A castle?
That's impossible, right?
How can a castle hover in the sky?
Oh no, that thing is flying toward our Holy City! "
"…"
The appearance of the Netherworld Castle immediately caused an uproar in the Holy City. Every Lost Tribe member stared at the Netherworld Castle in the distance. Their eyes were filled with awe and curiosity.
However, when the Netherworld Castle flew toward the Holy City, these Lost Tribe members immediately panicked. They were always in awe and fear of the unknown. The Holy City instantly fell into chaos!
The people in the Parthenon Temple also noticed the commotion outside. They quickly walked out of the temple and saw the Netherworld Castle flying toward them!
"The Netherworld Castle?
The Lord of the Underworld is driving the Netherworld Castle here. Our Holy City is done for. The Lost Tribe is done for! "
After walking out of the Parthenon Temple, Atos immediately noticed the Netherworld Castle in the distance. His face instantly turned pale.
Alice, who was following behind Atos, also had a terrible look on her face. She had obviously recognized the Netherworld Castle that was flying toward the Holy City!
"Could it be that Zhuowen and the others are no match for the Lord of the Underworld?" Alice mumbled to herself with a pale face.
"Nether Castle?
What's going on? "Gu Xin and Hu Wuying, who had never heard of the Netherworld Castle, couldn't help but ask.
"The Netherworld Castle is the fortress of the Lord of the Underworld. The Lord of the Underworld rarely uses the Netherworld Castle. Since he's using it now, I'm afraid he's really furious. It seems like our Vestigial Clan is really doomed this time!" Alice said with a miserable expression.
On the Sandstone Island, only she and Atos knew the truth about the trial grounds. At the same time, they also knew how terrifying the Lord of the Underworld was!
"It's called the Netherworld Castle?
Was the Netherworld King in that castle?
What about Zhuowen and the others? "
Gu Xin frowned when she saw how dejected Alice and the others were. At the same time, she had an ominous feeling in her heart.
"Since the Netherworld King has appeared, then Zhuowen and the others are dead for sure!
With the Netherworld King's personality, he'll never let the humans who entered the trial grounds go! "Alice shook her head and said helplessly.
Gu Xin and Hu Wuying were shocked when they heard this. Gu Xin frowned and retorted, "Brother Zhuo, we know Brother Zhuo's strength the best. He won't die so easily!"
Atos sneered and said, "You haven't seen the Netherworld King, so you don't know how terrifying he is!
I'll tell you the truth!
The Netherworld King's strength is superior to a legendary warrior. In other words, even a legendary warrior might not be a match for the Netherworld King!
Do you think that Zhuowen has the strength to surpass a legendary warrior? "
Gu Xin and Hu Wuying were stunned when they heard this. A legendary warrior's strength was more than a million pounds. Their strength was comparable to a warrior at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. If the Netherworld King's strength was superior to a legendary warrior, then Zhuowen really wouldn't be a match for him!
"Forget it!
It's a waste of energy to tell you this. The Netherworld King has already sent the Netherworld Castle here. It's obvious that he's planning to destroy the Sacred City. We won't be able to escape when the time comes! "Atos shook his head and said dispiritedly.
Whoosh!
The Netherworld Castle was extremely fast. It arrived above the Sacred City in the blink of an eye. The enormous castle almost blotted out the sun, dimming the sky above the Sacred City!
Creak!
The gate of the Netherworld Castle slowly opened. A slender figure stepped out from the gate. It was a young man with black hair and black eyes, carrying a blood-red spear on his back!
Everyone in the Sacred City raised their heads and stared at the young man walking out of the Netherworld Castle. Their faces were filled with confusion. They didn't recognize the young man who had suddenly appeared!
Zhuowen immediately saw Gu Xin, Hu Wuying, and the others below the Parthenon Temple. His lips curled upward. With a stomp, he turned into a bolt of lightning and appeared below the Parthenon Temple!
When Atos, Alice, and the others saw the young man standing at the gate of the Netherworld Castle, their faces were filled with shock, as if they had just seen a ghost. For a moment, the place fell into an eerie silence!
"That kid … can't be the Netherworld King, right?
I don't remember the Netherworld King having a clone like that? "Atos swallowed his saliva and suddenly asked Alice.
At that moment, Alice's expression was even worse than Atos'. She stared at the young man and said with trembling lips, "That kid is Zhuowen. Why did he come out of the Netherworld Castle?
Where's the Netherworld King?
Could it be that the Netherworld King … "
Alice suddenly thought of an unbelievable possibility. Could it be that the Netherworld King was really dead? And he had died at the hands of the young man before her?
"Zhuowen?
Could it be that the Netherworld King is really … "
Atos's eyes widened. He suddenly felt his mouth turning dry. The guess in his heart was too shocking!
Whoosh!
A bolt of lightning landed in front of everyone, revealing the young man with a smile on his face!
"Haha!
It's really Zhuowen. I knew it. With your strength, how could Zhuowen have died in the Trial Ground? "
Gu Xin and Hu Wuying's eyes flickered. They quickly went up to Zhuowen. Their faces were filled with joy. They knew that since Zhuowen was standing in front of them, it meant that Zhuowen had completely taken control of the Sandstone Island!
"I'm sorry to have worried you two. This time, Zhuowen did not fail his mission and successfully took control of the Sandstone Island. Later, we will be able to use the Sandstone Island to break through the void and enter the second level of the Vitality Tower!" At that moment, Zhuowen's face was filled with smiles.
Gu Xin and Hu Wuying heard this and their faces were filled with joy. They did not expect that their small Rattan Armor City would have the opportunity to stand out from hundreds of thousands of forces and enter the second level of the Vitality Tower. If Gu Yue Tian knew about this, he would definitely be overjoyed!
"Eh?
Brother Zhuo, you've already broken through? "
Gu Xin quickly calmed down. At the same time, he could feel the faintly discernible aura exuding from Zhuowen's body. He could not help but ask in surprise.
"Yes!
I had some opportunities in the Trial Ground, so I survived the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully advanced to the Ultimate Emperor Realm! "
Zhuowen had never intended to hide his strength, so when Gu Xin asked, he naturally admitted it openly!
"Brother Zhuo is indeed a genius!
There are probably only a handful of people in the Qing Xuan Empire who can advance to the Ultimate Emperor Realm at your age! "
Gu Xin and Hu Wuying hurriedly congratulated Zhuowen. At the same time, their admiration and reverence for Zhuowen grew. They knew that under the leadership of this young man, Rattan Armor City might be able to reach the pinnacle of glory!
"Zhuowen!
Why did you come out of the Netherworld Castle?
Where's the Lord of the Netherworld? "
Just as Zhuowen, Gu Xin, and Hu Wuying were conversing with each other, a clear voice suddenly interrupted them!
Tilting his head slightly, Zhuowen stared at Alice, who was slowly walking towards them. He smiled faintly and said, "The Saintess has dealt with the Lord of the Hades for so many years. I'm afraid she has already figured out the Lord of the Hades' temperament!
Since I appeared in the Netherworld Castle and the Lord of the Hades is not here, then the Lord of the Hades is naturally dead!
Otherwise, do you think the Lord of the Hades would have let me out? "
Hiss!
As soon as Zhuo Wen spoke these words, Alice, Atos, and the others gasped. Even though they were shocked and had some guesses when they saw Zhuo Wen, they still felt extremely shocked when Zhuo Wen admitted it frankly!
The Lord of the Underworld had always been a huge threat to the Vestigial Clan. After dealing with the Lord of the Underworld for many years, they were well aware of how terrifying the Lord of the Underworld was. After all, even Alyss had fallen in the hands of the Lord of the Underworld. Of course, only Alice and Atos knew about this secret. Zhuo Wen only found out that Alyss had actually died thousands of years ago after meeting the Lord of the Underworld.
"The Saintess hid a lot of things from us back then, right?
Back at the trial ground, I saw the Lord of the Hades with my own eyes. At that time, the Lord of the Hades' explanation was completely different from what you said!
Moreover, I saw the Lord of the Holy City, Alyss, in the trial ground. Perhaps you should give me an explanation! "Zhuowen said in a deep voice as he stared at Alice.
"What?
Lord Alyss was in the trial ground?
How is that possible?
Lord Alyss disappeared thousands of years ago. How could he be in the trial ground? "Priest Qiushui asked in astonishment.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Moreover, Alyss was controlled by the Lord of the Hades to attack us. However, he was destroyed by me in the end!" Zhuowen shook his head and said indifferently.
"You said you destroyed Alyss?
Damn it, he was the previous Lord of the Holy City. At the same time, he was my ancestor. How dare you kill him?
You bastard … "
Upon hearing that Alyss had been destroyed by Zhuowen, Atos was instantly unhappy. He glared at Zhuowen with his eyes wide open. Then, he stomped his foot and charged toward Zhuowen. He threw a punch at Zhuowen!
