Chapter 1822: Going Down to the Netherworld
"This black hole absorbs the souls of living beings. If it weren't for the broken jade protecting me, my soul might have been sucked in. This is me. If it were any other living being, their soul would fall into it in an instant."

Frowning, Zhang Qian thought that whether it was Yingzhou Fairy Island, Penglai Fairy Island, or Fangzhang Fairy Island, they were all places refined and controlled by Hongjun. This strange black hole should also be related to Hongjun.

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Zhang Qian became curious and wanted to control the broken jade to rush into the black hole to see where this strange black hole led to, but he was a little hesitant.

After pondering for a while, he thought to himself, "The broken jade is a fragment of a transcendent treasure, which is enough to protect me. I want to see what secrets are hidden inside this black hole!"

Swish!
The broken jade moved and plunged into a thousand-mile black hole.

hum!
The moment he entered the black hole, Zhang Qian's soul shook violently, and a strange force brushed through his soul.

“It’s actually a passage!”

After the strange power disappeared, the broken jade also entered the black hole. Zhang Qian immediately discovered that this black hole was a passage leading to an unknown place.

The broken jade flew along the passage at an extremely fast speed. The pitch-black passage was winding and twisting, no different from a passage in the void. However, the great suction force emitted by this passage was aimed at the souls of all living things, just like the destination of the souls of all living things in the world after death!

I don’t know how long it took. In this strange passage, Zhang Qian had no feeling of the passage of time. Suddenly, a barely visible red light appeared in front of the winding and twisted passage.

The red light looked like a spark, and as the remnant jade moved forward, the spark expanded rapidly.

"It looks like the exit is just ahead, but I don't know where it is!"

Zhang Qian watched intently. As the broken jade flew rapidly, it was getting closer and closer to the spark.

Finally, the spark turned into a square of ten thousand feet, which was indeed the exit of the passage.

Swish!
Canyu rushed out of the passage and instantly arrived at a strange place!
"here it is?"

Zhang Qian looked around, peering through the broken jade, and found himself in an extremely strange world.

This world is vast and boundless. The sky above is a fiery red, as if a layer of burning fire clouds is burning. The earth below is extremely desolate, and the soil is also red. The terrifying scorching breath fills the surroundings, making this world like a huge furnace.

As far as the eye can see, there is no living creature, and there is deathly silence everywhere. The red earth is covered with criss-crossing cracks and canyons. From time to time, continuous underground fire evil spirits rise from these cracks and canyons, making hissing sounds.

Eventually, these evil spirits from the underground fire rose into the fiery red clouds in the sky and became part of the clouds.

Because of the fire clouds shining in the sky, this dead and silent world is not dark at all, but it makes people feel extremely depressing.

"Earth fire evil spirit, could this be..."

Zhang Qian's eyes flashed, and he thought of a place. This piece of land filled with endless fire and evil spirit was very similar to the legendary Nine Netherworlds.

"Is this really the Land of the Netherworld?"

Out of curiosity, Zhang Qianyu made the broken jade fly forward. He didn't know what would be here, so he just let the broken jade fly straight, trying to find the end of the Nine Netherworld.

Along the way, he saw countless cracks and canyons, all of which were bottomless. From these cracks and canyons, there were faint sounds of strange cries, which made people feel creepy.

Zhang Qian was naturally not afraid of these cries and howls. He turned the broken jade and flew to a large canyon below. The canyon was constantly filled with evil spirits of fire, causing it to be extremely hot. This place was a real Jedi, and no living creature could survive here.

However, it could not affect Canyu. Ignoring the horrible heat around him, Canyu flew to the bottom of the canyon in an instant.

Here, the strange wailing sound was even louder.

Zhang Qian looked carefully and suddenly exclaimed.

At the bottom of a fiery red canyon, countless souls were floating in the boiling magma!

These residual souls are incomplete. They are trapped in the molten magma of the earth fire, being burned by the fire, howling constantly, and in extreme pain.

The molten earth fire, or the entire Nine Netherworld, has a terrifying binding and suppressing power on these residual souls, making it impossible for them to leave.

The broken jade flew close to a broken soul, and its power exploded, immediately receiving the immobile broken soul inside the broken jade.

Zhang Qian could see clearly that this remnant soul had long lost all its intelligence and was only madness, with no possibility of recovery.

Bang!
The residual soul that entered the broken jade exploded and dispersed. Zhang Qian waved his hand to destroy those messy fragments of the residual soul, leaving only the confused memory of this residual soul.

With a sweep of his mind, he absorbed the chaotic memory.

"I see!"

This messy memory was not long. After reading it, Zhang Qian also understood the origin of this remnant soul. The remnant soul was a cultivator in the southern land during his lifetime. He died at the hands of the demons under Luohou. His remnant soul was pulled by a strange force to the nine heavens, to the Yingzhou Fairy Island, and then was swallowed by the black hole in the lake. It came to the Nine Netherworld through the passage inside the black hole, and then was pulled to this canyon by a terrible suction force, and was suppressed in the molten earth fire and could not move.

Moreover, the molten earth fire was still constantly absorbing the essence of his soul!

Before long, this remnant soul will be drained of its essence and completely dissipate.

Zhang Qian looked over and immediately felt a chill in his heart, because there were countless residual souls suppressed in the underground fire at the bottom of this canyon! And this was just one canyon in the Nine Netherworlds. He had flown all the way here and saw countless cracked canyons and heard the howling sounds coming from these cracked canyons, which meant that there were countless residual souls suppressed in those cracked canyons.

Generally speaking, after the death of the creatures in the prehistoric world, their residual souls will gather in the sea of ​​blood and become part of the sea of ​​blood. Because there is no reincarnation in the prehistoric world, they will sink in the sea of ​​blood forever, or be used by the ancestor of the Styx as material to create the Shura of the Sea of ​​Blood.

But apparently someone secretly made arrangements so that the remaining souls of the creatures that died in the prehistoric world would no longer gather in the sea of ​​blood, but would be led to the Nine Netherworlds, where their spirits and souls would be sucked dry by unknown existences!
"In the prehistoric world, there should be more than one black hole that absorbs souls. The black hole on Yingzhou Fairy Island may be just one of them. In the vast prehistoric world, there are still many black hole channels that continuously lead the souls of dead creatures to this place of the underworld to become food for others!"

Zhang Qian's eyes turned cold, and he guessed, "Who did it? Could it be Hongjun who did it?"

He suspected that it was Hongjun who did it, but he didn't know what Hongjun's intention was.

He controlled the broken jade and flew out of the canyon, heading straight towards the red clouds in the space.

After a short while, they arrived in the clouds. This layer of fiery red clouds was extremely thick. Canyu flew in it for a long time before passing through the continuous clouds and arriving above the clouds!

"what is that!"

The moment he passed through the clouds, Zhang Qian was stunned. He saw countless crystal clear lights lingering in the void above the clouds. The lights were winding and twisting like long rivers. All the rivers were converging in one direction, and flowing in these bright and crystal clear rivers was the rich origin of the soul!
