829 Nine Nether Trial (1)

Under the yellow sand, a figure trudged through the vast desert.

The desert here was clearly not as dazzling as the sun, but it still felt extremely hot.

There was almost no moisture in the air.

If a water attribute cultivator was here, they would probably not even be able to squeeze out the simplest water ball.

Not only was the environment harsh, but the rules of heaven and earth here were also terrifying.

Every step forward was as tiring as trekking for a day.

Walking 365 steps here was like walking for a year without sleep or rest!

It was extremely exhausting.

Even Jiang Li could not endure such fatigue.

Thinking about the thirteen trials of the Netherworld ahead, this was probably one of the common characteristics of the Netherworld. The path had always been very difficult to walk!

As for the reason for this environment, it was simple.

That was because, in the neighboring continent of the Nine Provinces, there were too many ghosts who died of old age or accidents every day and night.

In order to prevent these ghosts from filling the Yama Hall and causing the Netherworld to be paralyzed,

the method that the mighty figures of the Netherworld had chosen back then was to extend the distance and time.

When this distance was long enough and difficult to walk, it could dilute the ghosts that surged into the Netherworld to a large extent.

Then, he would slowly deal with the sins of the ghosts when they were alive.

For example, which level to go to in the 18 levels of hell and which level to choose in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

In addition, Jiang Li could tell that the Yellow Spring Road and the thirteen trials of the Netherworld that passed by earlier should be controlled by someone.

According to the number of ghosts that surged into the Netherworld, the journey could be long or short, and the hurdles could be difficult or easy.

Using this method, he controlled the ghosts to walk through the Netherworld.

However, now, because there was no longer the control of the Yama judges, the Yellow Spring Road that should have been contracted was unfolded.

The other trials were also completely opened. The difficulty was to an inhuman extent. It looked as if they did not want the ghosts to reach the end.

This was a pity for the current Human Emperor who did not have a special way and had to walk over himself.

In the sandstorm that was like a thousand cuts, even he looked a little disheveled.

After stopping to catch his breath for a moment, under the nourishment of many statuses in his body, the dry cough exhaustion quickly disappeared.

As for the hardest soul to deal with, he did not feel it clearly.

This was because his soul had once relied on a pool of Yellow Spring Water to condense like a physical body.

With the protection of the Netherworld Merit Lotus Flower, even if his Essence Soul was exposed, he could easily withstand the sandstorm of the Netherworld.

Moreover, with the protection of a powerful body…

“Eh? How many steps did I take just now?”

Scratching his head, Jiang Li was slightly puzzled.

With his current cultivation realm, in terms of memory, it was far superior to the super memories he had heard of in his previous life.

Even if he did not deliberately remember it, he should have remembered the steps.

Was it indeed because he was too tired?

He looked at the long series of footprints behind.

“If it was anyone else, they would probably not be able to reach this place in three thousand years.”

“It seems that this is destined to be a lonely trip.”

He smiled bitterly and shook his head before continuing forward.

However, after walking for another three days, Jiang Li vaguely saw a figure in the yellow sand ahead.

“There’s actually someone in this damned place!?”

He immediately became fully focused and chased after it.

Jiang Li’s strength was extraordinary, and his soul was condensed and tough. Moreover, he had many statuses in his body. Even the immortal qi of the seven attributes surged out from his body unknowingly, and he could nourish it as he pleased.

Under such superior conditions, he could reach here in a short period of time.

However, if it was anyone else, even if their strength was already at its peak, it would be extremely difficult for them to come here after gathering three flowers and five qi.

Who was the person in front?

To be able to walk here under such vile rules of heaven and earth, no matter what, he must be an expert.

“Fellow Daoist! Please wait!”

Jiang Li shouted in a friendly manner as he stepped on the sand and approached the other party.

However, as soon as he approached, he felt that the other party’s back seemed abnormally familiar.

That person was relatively short and looked like a young man.

As he walked, he was not as calm as Jiang Li. He was sweating profusely and panting heavily.

When he heard Jiang Li’s voice, he turned around.

A pair of familiar and unfamiliar eyes met his.

The current Human Emperor suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.

However, before he could say anything, the person ahead had already turned around and rushed towards him.

“Wait a minute, who are you!?”

Jiang Li felt as if he knew him… as if he had seen this face before.

While he was thinking, the other party had already rushed forward.

His speed could not be considered slow. To Jiang Li, it could only be considered to be extremely slow.

His limbs were weak, but he had some aura. He leaped high towards Jiang Li and pounced.

It was like a ferocious tiger leaping through the forest.

The youth’s chest roared with the sound of a ferocious tiger. A pair of tiger claws appeared and grabbed at Jiang Li’s face.

It was actually… a martial artist from a mortal country.

Even among martial artists, their strength could only be considered outstanding.

It was worlds apart from his previous guess about experts.

“This person looks familiar! I must have seen him somewhere before.”

Bang!

As soon as the figure was sent flying, it rolled in the sand and ate a mouthful of bitter sand.
