Chapter 726: Chapter 210: First Probe into Hell

Following Song Quan through the greater part of the Netherworld, they did not find any trace of souls, which greatly surprised both of them.

“There’s no way, all seven recorded Soul Pools have dried up? So many souls have died, and not one has come to the Netherworld?”

“Could it be that the beast Heavenly Gods came before us and took all the souls away?”

Song Quan shook his head, “Impossible, only the first five Soul Pools are easy to find. Even you and I, knowing the locations, searched for nearly half a month to find the last two. Do those dimwitted beast Heavenly Gods have the brains for that?”

“If it wasn’t the beasts, could it be the Netherworld God? Injured in the clash with the Ancestor Dragon, perhaps she would devour souls to recover her own strength.”

Song Quan gave Lu Hong a glance, “Although the Netherworld God is the god of the Netherworld, why would he need to eat souls? Those souls haven’t been purified by the Soul Pools. Who knows what special energies they contain; eating them might even cause indigestion.”

“Alright, if it wasn’t the beasts’ doing, and not the Netherworld God’s, it can’t be that these souls were all stolen, right?”

Lu Hong’s words seemed to awaken something in Song Quan, “Yes, those deceased souls would certainly be naturally guided into the Soul Pools to be reborn after their purification. The seven empty Soul Pools mean that the vast number of souls have definitely been taken by someone.”

“Who could it be? In this world, who else has the power to take these souls? Besides having considerable strength, they would also need an in-depth knowledge of the Netherworld to accurately locate all seven Soul Pools.”

Song Quan shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know either.

“Regardless, the theft of these souls definitely means there’s a huge conspiracy brewing.”

Lu Hong nodded, “So we must continue our investigation and find these souls.”

Song Quan dived to the bottom of the last Soul Pool where they stood, his Divine Power probing into the surroundings.

After a long while, Song Quan returned to Lu Hong with regret, “The other side didn’t leave any trace behind.”

“It doesn’t matter if we couldn’t find a trace. Currently, there are only a few powerful forces in the Star Sea. Excluding the beasts and ourselves, who else could there be?”

“Abyssal Hell?”

Lu Hong nodded, “I suppose it could only be them. These Hell Demons were not subject to the invasion of the beasts, so it’s very likely that they are the ones who stole the souls meant to be reborn in the Soul Pools.”

“But what use do the Hell Demons have for these souls?” Song Quan asked, “Although Hell Demons need to strengthen their own souls for advancement, they must devour their own kind to gain Soul Power. Souls from other races are of no benefit to them, unless… Unless they want to resurrect the Demon King?!”

At this point, Song Quan became anxious, “No, we must go to Hell immediately. I have to determine whether this is the doing of the Hell Demons.”

“Don’t be so hasty. I sent someone to Hell before to fetch something for me. If they return, we’ll surely have some news.”

“Who?” Song Quan suddenly remembered the dog that followed them at the start, “That Dog God?”

“Mhm.”

“I never found that reliable. Let’s go to Hell ourselves. If the Demon King is resurrected, things will get much tougher for us.”

“It might not be necessarily so,” Lu Hong countered, “The resurrection of the Demon King just means reopening the passage to the Abyss and invading the Star Sea again. Anyway, the Star Sea doesn’t belong to us now. If the beasts engage in war with Hell, wouldn’t that be a good thing?”

Song Quan eyed Lu Hong, “I am now one hundred percent certain that you’ve traveled here from some point in the past. Do you know how the Lionheart God died?”

Lu Hong shook his head; the might of the Lionheart God was often recorded, but how he fell remained a mystery.

“Three hundred years after you slew the hundred gods of the beasts, the World Bridge was built on the southeast corner of the mainland. Countless demons climbed out of Hell, carrying the flames of demons, seeking to destroy the entire divine grace. It was you and the Lionheart God who joined forces. At the cost of the Lionheart God’s sacrifice, you killed the Hell Demon King. Back then, your strength was not far from the Lionheart God’s, which means to defeat the Hell Demon King, the power of at least two Heavenly Gods of the Lionheart level was needed, and one had to die. If the Hell Demon King is resurrected and comes to this world, the beasts will surely be defeated, and what we face will be far more terrifying than the beasts.”

“The Hell Demon King is truly that formidable?” Lu Hong was somewhat incredulous.

“What do you think? Would I lie to you?” With that, Song Quan pulled Lu Hong away from the Netherworld and hurried towards Hell.

As soon as they had traveled less than a thousand li, they ran into the Lionheart God who had also come to the Netherworld.

“It’s you? You’ve also come to the present world.”

The Lionheart God looked at Lu Hong with confusion, apparently the Yin-Snake God hadn’t spoken much with him.

“Yes.”

Initially, when facing a split spirit of the Lionheart God, Lu Hong was beaten to the point of having no power to retaliate. Now, encountering the true Lionheart God, Lu Hong instinctively felt some fear.

And Song Quan was so panicked that he couldn’t even complete his sentences, “You… you… you… how come you’ve come to the Netherworld?!”

“I’m just searching for the souls of my clansmen who died, but unfortunately, even in this vast Netherworld, there seems to be nothing.” The Lionheart God seemed to lack any desire to fight, looking somewhat dejected. It seemed that the death of his clansmen had a significant impact on him. He was also relieved that the Yin-Snake God hadn’t mentioned Lu Hong being together with the Ancestor Dragon, and hence the Lionheart God only attributed the killing of his clansmen to the Ancestor Dragon.

Otherwise, would they still be standing here having a chat?

“It’s not that there are no souls, but rather they’ve been stolen.” Seizing the opportunity, Song Quan hurriedly shared their conjecture with the Lionheart God.

“Hell?” It was the first time Lionheart had heard of such a place, “Are you not lying to me? Is the Hell Demon King that powerful?”

“I can swear to the heavens, everything I’ve said is true. Once the Hell Demon King revives, even your beastmen will face annihilation.”

“If that’s the case, then lead me to Hell so I can witness their strength for myself.”

“Okay!” Seeing a top-tier combatant offering to be their bodyguard, there was no reason to disagree.

With the Lionheart God joining the team, Song Quan directly sought the nearest abyssal rift to them.

Arriving at the rift hidden within a remote mountain cave, Song Quan said, “This is a spatial rift leading to Hell, but the place it connects to is quite dangerous, so…”

Before Song Quan could finish his sentence, the Lionheart God stepped into it.

In just a moment, intense trembling occurred within the rift, and it began to show signs of closing.

Immediately, Lu Hong and the others didn’t wait any longer and plunged headlong into it.

The pungent smell of sulfur made Song Quan, who had entered, extremely uncomfortable, sneezing repeatedly.

Looking intently, there were corpses of demons everywhere in front of the rift.

The Lionheart God shook his slightly numb arms and turned to Song Quan, “Are these uniquely looking fellows the demons?”

“Achoo! Achoo! Yes… Achoo! Achoo…”

“Alright, alright, stop talking.” The Lionheart God waved his hand, walked up to a dead Demon Lord, and with a strong pull, he snapped off the enemy’s head, “Indeed, a peculiar race with such a sturdy body.”

He then tossed the head to Lu Hong, “You take a look as well.”

Watching the head, large as a hill, being hurled at him, Lu Hong quickly pulled Song Quan out of the way.

“I’ll pass on looking, let’s just continue deeper.”

There really isn’t much to appreciate about a Demon Lord.

According to Song Quan’s description, this place was one of the three major planes in the deepest part of Hell, where the demons were either demigods or god-level. It was also an autonomous region within Hell that no one, except for the Hell Demon King, could control.

To reach the resting place of the Hell Demon King, besides this plane, they’d have to cross another similar one.

Not to mention, if it weren’t for the Lionheart God’s joining, they probably wouldn’t have made it past.

After being given directions, the Lionheart God took the lead, becoming the forefront scout.

No matter what kind of powerful demon they encountered along the way, none could stand against a single heavy punch from the Lionheart.

As they delved deeper, the strength of the demons they encountered gradually increased, giving the Lionheart God a more comprehensive understanding of the demon race.

He even began to look forward to meeting the Hell Demon King.
