Chapter 880: Lord of the Nine Star Underworld - Lord of Black Gold

Of course, Ye Chen didn't have the idea of dying like this, he was now worrying about how to cross this Styx.

The vast River Styx traversed in front of him like a sea, with a width of more than a million kilometers, even for Ye Chen, who had manifested the body of a true spirit, it was extremely wide, and it was even more insurmountable for his subordinates.

The inability to fly over the River Styx is a unique rule in the underworld, even if he cultivates to reach the eight-star true spirit, he can't avoid it, not to mention the army under his command, standing next to the river, he can clearly feel the almost materialized rules of the underworld flowing above the River Styx.

Standing by the river, I didn't feel anything, I could only see the turbid river flowing by, looking into the distance, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be some huge shadow passing in the river in the distance, but unfortunately the river was isolated from the divine consciousness and could not be explored.

He put his hand above the River Styx again, and immediately felt a terrifying pressure that even with his current strength could not resist, he was completely unable to fly, and the strange rules of the river could not even do spatial travel.

Of course, it's just that he can't travel through space, and it's no problem to bring his own space to pack all his subordinates, and his current problem is how to cross the Styx.

There is almost no need to guess, just by seeing him, he knows that this river Styx must not be safe, there must be an unknown horror existence at the bottom of the river, and in the depths of the River Styx, he will almost certainly have an existence that is not inferior to himself or even surpasses himself.

Fortunately, he has now condensed the body of the true spirit, and the primordial spirit law is one with the physical body, mellow and leaky, and he is not afraid of the erosion of the Styx water on him.

But swimming directly from the River Styx is a last resort, and if you can, it's best to find a way to cross the river by the river.

He was not in a hurry now, and when he announced the news, he took out the Wheel of Eternity and collected all the tens of millions of Yin soldiers and ghosts under his command, and flew upstream along the river alone.

The water of the River Styx was extremely turbid, like a yellow flood of mud and sand, and from time to time skeletons could be seen floating up and down in the turbid water, and occasionally a twisted wraith rushed out of the water, waving its teeth and claws at him.

Flying tens of millions of kilometers upstream along the river at a super fast speed, he didn't see anything, Ye Chen was not in a hurry, and continued to move forward, passing through a hill from the plain, the terrain was rapidly rising, and the huge underworld gave it an even more exaggerated terrain.

From the end of the hill, the terrain rises, a slope stretches for nearly 10 million miles, and the turbid water of the River Styx rushes down the plateau millions of kilometers high.

Ye Chen flew along the river, and from time to time he saw a huge monster rushing out of the water of the Styx, some of which exuded an aura that was even stronger than him.

It took less than an hour to fly to the top of the plateau, and when he raised his eyes, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

At the top of the plateau, millions of kilometers high, there was an endless flat land, and at the end of the distant horizon, he saw a giant peak that reached to the sky, the Styx River flowed on the edge of the giant peak, and on the other side of the Styx, there stood another giant peak measuring millions of kilometers in height.

If you take a closer look, it is not a giant peak, but two giant cities across the river, or a giant city built on top of a giant peak, from a distance, Ye Chen can see the overwhelming black spots between the giant cities, and the huge figures that can see the general outline even if they are so far apart.

But this is not the point, the point is that Ye Chen's powerful eyesight saw that there was a thick black line around the waist of the two giant peaks, it seemed.... It was a huge black rope that connected the two giant peaks.

Ye Chen's eyes immediately lit up, wasn't this the way he dreamed of crossing the River Styx safely? He immediately flew in the direction of his own giant peak.

But soon his speed slowed down, because he found that the two giant cities seemed to be fighting across the river, and as he slowly approached, he was shocked to find that the huge figure that could be seen from a distance could also see the general outline, each of which actually possessed a power that was not inferior to the eight-star true spirit, and with just a cursory sweep, he saw no less than twenty eight-star true spirit-level ghosts and gods.

In other words, one hundred percent of these two giant cities would have more than one nine-star Underworld Lord, otherwise it would be impossible to suppress these powerful ghosts and gods.

This made Ye Chen hesitate, and he was a little hesitant to contact him.

But soon he didn't have to hesitate, a huge face suddenly rose in the direction of the distant giant city, and then an incomparably powerful will that was still stronger than him now flew from the direction of the giant city, and instantly condensed in front of him into a humanoid figure that was carved like dark gold, the dark light between the pupils flickered, and a thick man's voice sounded:

"Mighty human descender, you will cross the River Styx or not?"

Ye Chen saluted this powerhouse in the underworld and said:

"Mighty Lord, as you guessed, I'm going to cross this Styx."

"You can call me the Lord of Black Gold!"

This figure, which is like a dark gold carving, said directly to the point:

"I can let you cross the River Styx, but you must serve me for a thousand years!"

Ye Chen frowned, and was about to refuse, when the Lord of Black Gold said:

"Or you do something for me that you can do."

"Please!"

"Kill an enemy of your rank for me!"

"Is it the lord across the River Styx?"

"Yes."

"Deal!"

The two reached an agreement in a few words, and made an oath with the ubiquitous Great Will of the Underworld as the witness - Ye Chen killed an eight-star Grand Commander under the command of the Crimson Lord on the opposite side, and then he could safely cross the boundary bridge between the two Great Territories and cross the Styx.

This is also Ye Chen's current promotion to an eight-star true spirit, and his concept of time has not yet changed, a thousand years is only equivalent to a ton for those true spirit-level existences who have survived for tens of millions of years, and it will soon pass, on the contrary, killing a same-level existence, this difficulty is extraordinary, compared to serving a nine-star underworld lord, it is actually very uneconomical.

That is to say, Ye Chen had enough strength and confidence to dare to agree, and if he was replaced by other eight-star true spirits, ghosts, and gods, he would not dare to agree to this condition casually.

Reaching an agreement with the Lord of Black Gold, Ye Chen obtained the right to walk freely in the territory of the Lord of Black Gold, except that he could not enter the Black Gold Hades Temple and pass through the Black Rope of the Two Realms at will, and let him go to other places, and at the same time received a message from the Lord of Black Gold, which contained a brief introduction to the Black Gold Underworld, as well as detailed information about the Crimson Lord and the Crimson Underworld on the other side.

The two nine-star underworld lords were originally unrelated thousands of years ago, and there was no communication in the Styx realm, but as the two lords were promoted to nine-star existences, they began to covet each other's territory.

If you can defeat the opponent and take the territory, and combine the two territories into one, you can monopolize this rare boundary bridge connecting the River Styx, and the benefits you have cannot be ignored even if you are a nine-star existence.
