<h4>Chapter 951: Nether Continent</h4>
Nether Continent
Qin Lie and La Pu walked down from the White Bone Nether Spirit Altar just like the one that Tate left behind on Soul Summoning Ind and stepped onto thisnd of the three races that had once dominated the Nether Realm.
When he walked down from the White Bone Nether Spirit Altar, Qin Lie noticed that Tate, Luz, and the others had been waiting for a while.
An enormous and deep hole to the right of the teleportation formation gave off a stream ofher demonic energy.
Qin Lie only needed a nce to know that the dark hole was the so-called "evilher passageway" that he had once opened under the Armament Sect. He realized that the passageway was connected to Nether Realm.
"Three years ago, Sky Mender Pce sealed this passage, making it difficult to return to Nether Continent," Tate exined. "Not long ago, when Sky Mender Pce retracted the ban, the passageway was reopened. Since then, the races of Nether Realm cane over directly through this passageway."
"In other words, they will not need to detour through the Scarlet Tide Continent?" Qin Lie realized.
The Horned Demon Ku Lu and his brother had reached the Scarlet Tide Continent without passing through the Nether Battlefield due to the "evilher passageway" he had opened at Armament Sect.
After that, they reached Nether Continent through the teleportation formation set up in Herb Mountain.
The reason it had taken so many turns was because the Nether Continent had been sealed and the evilher passageway couldn’t be used.
Sky Mender Pce took away their restriction on the three great races of Nether Realm. Through the efforts of Tate and the others, they finally opened the passageway again.
As the passageway had been restored,her demonic energy would stream out of it. It would spread through the entire Nether Continent and have this continent once again be the best cultivation location for the races of Nether Realm.
The Horned Demon Race of Nether Realm, and the Dark Shadow nsmen coulde to Nether Continent through this evilher passageway.
"Starting today, we will not have to use Scarlet Tide Continent''s passageway. All the races of Nether Realm can enter the Nether Continent through this ce." Tate nodded.
Qin Lie looked at the sky.
The time should be daytime but the sky of the Nether Continent was shrouded by thickher demonic energy. The blinding sunlight could not prate theyer.
The White Bone Nether Spirit Altar was capable of back and forth transport between Spirit Realm and this evilher passageway that was connected to Nether Realm. This was an extremely wondrous za.
He could not see its end.
This za was covered in gray-white granite. Every hundred or so meters, he could see the statues of many Demon Gods.
The statues appeared to have been repaired and raised up. They… had been damaged in the past.
Even further away, there were pitch ck pirs on which monsters he didn’t know were engraved on. When he looked closely, he realized that they were theher beasts of the Nether Realm.
Many Dark Shadow and Horned Demon nsmen guarded this ce. They rode Nether Giant Tail Lizards and other profoundher beasts. Their armor was tattered and their weapons covered in blood. Some of those weapons were even broken.
Those people were outfitted with old and poor equipment in Qin Lie''s eyes. The quality was ordinary.
But their eyes were savage and gave off a thick bloody tang. They gave people a wild and savage feeling.
"Their armor and weapons are extremely damaged and low quality. They will be at a disadvantage in a fight," Qin Lie casuallymented.
Tate had a helpless expression. "There is no way around it. The smaller races of Nether Realm that are skilled in artifact forging have all joined the Ghost Eye Race. And the Ghost Eye Race does not recognize the Ling Family as the imperial family of Nether Realm. They are afraid of Sky Mender Pce. They do not want to return to the Nether Continent, so we cannot receive any help from the Ghost Eye Race."
"Our resources are limited. When we lived on the Nether Continent in the past, we offended too many people. There are no artificers nearby willing to help us."
"In these recent years, I only got a few small batches of spirit artifacts through working with Heavenly Sword Mountain."
"Why not find me?" Qin Lie frowned.
"When I worked with Heavenly Sword Mountain, ming Sun Ind hadn’t been founded yet. After the ming Sun Ind had been established, I was afraid of dragging you down by having a close rtionship with ming Sun Ind. I was afraid that your identity will be exposed to the major personages in Central World." Tate sighed. "Our present days are not very good."
After three thousand years, the Horned Demon Race and the Dark Shadow Race were weak in Nether Realm. The Ghost Eye Race controlled the Profound Yin Nether Sea and the Nine Soul Hell, the two ces on the Nether Continent that produced all kinds of treasures. The Horned Demon Race and the Dark Shadow Race couldn''t use Nether Realm''s valuable spirit materials to trade for great amounts of war resources.
On the other side, the Blue me Manor they had never taken seriously had grown stronger and taken over the territories near the Nether Continent.
If they wanted to take resources from Spirit Realm, they had to fight Blue me Manor. Only then could they obtain cultivation materials and help their nsmen grow stronger.
"In the past, Nether Continent and the surroundings belonged to Sky Mender Pce. In these recent years, Sky Mender Pce and Six Ways Alliance have been fighting. They took abundant benefits from other ces, but near Nether Continent, they have suffered great losses," Tate continued to exin. "Blue me Manor is extremely strong. With Six Ways Alliance''s help, they have taken over this ce."
"One of the reasons that Sky Mender Pce had retracted their ban on us is due to the Venerable One, the other is that Sky Mender Pce hopes we can upy Blue me Manor and cause them some trouble. At least, they want us to keep Blue me Manor in check, preventing them from freely moving about."
As he exined, Qin Lie finally understood that his grandfather wasn''t the only reason why Sky Mender Pce had lifted their restrictions.
Sky Mender Pce may have won in other ces in its war against Six Ways Alliance but they had been defeated around the Nether Continent due to Blue me Manor.
Thends originally belonging to Sky Mender Pce were being gradually consumed by Blue me Manor.
Urged by his grandfather, Sky Mender Pce lifted their restrictions on the races of Nether Realm out of consideration for the bigger picture and allowed the three strongest races of Nether Realm to return to the Nether Continent.
As the three races returned to the Nether Continent, they would spreadher demonic energy into the surroundings to recover their previous glory.
They were fated to have conflict with Blue me Manor.
Sky Mender Pce''s goal was to have Nether Realm''s races fight with Blue me Manor, use up Blue me Manor''s strength so that Blue me Manor couldn''t reinforce Six Ways Alliance.
"So that''s how it is." Qin Lie indicated his understanding.
"Let''s go, we will meet the new ruler of the Dark Nether Race," Tate said.
Spirit Hunting Beasts flew from afar and took on these young Dark Shadow nsmen to fly towards south.
Qin Lie stayed with Tate, Luz, and the other Soul Altar experts of Dark Shadow Race. They went towards the west, over tall mountain ranges.
They rode a crystalline war chariot, the one that wasmon in Spirit Realm.
Looking at the Nether Continent from above, Qin Lie saw countless vicious nts growing densely on the ground. The entire flora had sharp thorns that could easily pierce flesh.
Concentratedher demonic energy covered all of the Nether Continent and made the environment here extremely simr to Nether Realm’s.
Along the way, he saw many Dark Shadow and Horned Demon nsmen. They walked between the ruins of many cities. The destroyed cities were simr to the obsidian pce. There were the stone statues of many Demon Gods on the ceilings, and there were copsed temples, and pirs that had crumbled.
"Three thousand years ago, the Nether Continent had hundreds of cities, and millions nsmen of the three races lived in them."
"After Sky Mender Pce attacked, many cities were the focal points of the battles, and ended up destroyed, the temples smashed into bits."
"We repaired a very small number of cities after our return for our nsmen to live in."
Tate''s expression was calm. "We will most likely have to wait for the royal bloodline of the Dark Nether Race to grow up in order to recover the glory of three thousand years ago. We have to wait for their bloodline to increase in rank to the level of Demon Gods. Then, Nether Continent will once again have hope of possessing an honored position in the Central World."
"Each Demon God of Nether Realm was the result of a Dark Nether Race member''s transformation. Demon God… is equivalent of an expert in the Genesis Realm." Luz inhaled deeply. "We once had five Demon Gods! Pity, all five Demon Gods died. Otherwise, we would have never fallen to our current state."
"Luz, we have already gathered some of the soul fragments of Demon Gods to try to revive them," Tate suddenly said.
When the words were said, many Dark Shadow nsmen shook.
"Do not be too happy, while the Demon Gods can be revived again, it is… too difficult." Tate shook his head and said with a sigh, "While we are working on it, our gains are minuscule. Gathering the scattered soul fragments of the Demon Gods proved to much harder than we had expected."
After he said this, Tate looked at the five mountains ahead and said, "We''ve arrived."
