Chapter 95: Nine Hades Platform

"The Lord of the Nine Hades, a shocking secret. If future generations come here, do not rashly venture deep into it, or wait until your cultivation reaches completion before exploring the shocking secret, or seek out top-tier Immortal Martial experts and Alchemists to enter together."

In just a short line, there seemed to be extremely terrifying information concealed within.

What is the shocking secret?

To make Pill Saint experts call it a shocking secret, it must be extraordinary.

But what shocked Wu Qingxue the most were the first four words.

Lord of the Nine Hades!

She had heard her grandfather talk about it.

The Nine Hades region was once the core of the Canglan Continent, and the Nine Hades Dynasty was the most terrifying force on the continent, without exception.

Every emperor of the ancient dynasty was called the Lord of the Nine Hades.

However, the Nine Hades Dynasty had been destroyed for countless years.

Thousands of years?

Tens of thousands of years?

No one knew.

No one knew the fate of the successive Lords of the Nine Hades, or their endings.

Now, news of the Lord of the Nine Hades had appeared. If it spread, it would surely shock the entire world!

"The Lord of the Nine Hades, a shocking secret, interesting," Ye Chen remarked.

He didn't know this history, but these eight words sparked his interest.

He felt that the Canglan Continent was not simple.

"Dust,..." Wu Qingxue quickly recounted her understanding of the Lord of the Nine Hades, causing Ye Chen's brows to raise even further.

Then, he looked towards the narrow passage behind the grand hall, wondering where it led. But it was certain that it was the place the Misty Pill Saint referred to as the depths.

"You stay here; I'll go in and take a look," Ye Chen said.

Although he wasn't afraid, his strength hadn't fully recovered yet, so he couldn't afford to be too careless.

After all, the depths were a place even the Misty Pill Saint was extremely wary of.

Involving the Lord of the Nine Hades and the shocking secret, there must be danger, and he didn't want to risk it with Wu Qingxue.

"Dust, what about the inheritance of the Misty Pill Saint?" Wu Qingxue pointed to the ancient scroll.

"Just trash, forget it," Ye Chen said casually, walking towards the back.

Wu Qingxue turned around and looked at Zhang Bufan and the others rushing towards them, waving her hand to erase herself from their sight, then followed Ye Chen.

Zhang Bufan and the Golden Cicada and others rushed into the grand hall. When they saw the remains of the Misty Pill Saint and the inheritance scroll underground, their eyes widened instantly.

There was both surprise and shock.

Ye Chen and Wu Qingxue actually didn't want the inheritance scroll!

That was the inheritance of the Misty Pill Saint!

"I'll take this inheritance."

Zhang Bufan was the first to fly out, a big sword in his hand emitting flames, slashing out to both sides without warning, trying to force everyone back.

"Zhang Bufan, you won't get it!" Golden Cicada and Silver Slasher and others also moved, wielding their weapons without hesitation.

Even the elites from the Purple Hades Territory also attacked Zhang Bufan.

In the struggle for the spirit medicines, they could take more or less, but there was only one inheritance scroll of the Misty Pill Saint. How could they allow others to snatch it away?

That was almost the inheritance of a Pill Saint! If obtained, cultivated completely, it would surely become the number one person in the Nine Hades. Such a huge opportunity was not to be missed, even if it meant risking their lives.

The struggle here had nothing to do with Ye Chen. They entered the passage, where they only saw a long and deep ancient road.

There were no array fluctuations, no signs of danger, only a sense of ancientness and desolation.

They proceeded cautiously, but everything went smoothly, without encountering any crises, as if the warning from the Misty Pill Saint was just an illusion.

However, they remained highly vigilant, especially Wu Qingxue, whose spiritual energy was quietly ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Ye Chen felt his blood begin to boil, as if it were about to erupt, making his expression solemn.

This feeling was as if a great enemy was approaching.

"What a strange feeling, my blood seems to be boiling." Wu Qingxue also felt the same, her heart trembling along with it.

After walking a bit further, that boiling sensation grew even more intense. At this moment, they also saw a nine-story high platform hundreds of meters ahead, like a pagoda spanning across the ancient road.

On top of the pagoda were engraved three large characters — Nine Hades Platform!

"Nine Hades Platform, could it be related to the Lord of the Nine Hades?" Wu Qingxue looked at the three characters and whispered.

"Nine Hades Hell, Nine Hades Platform, the Platform of Hell, where there's only the executioner's block. This is a dead end." Ye Chen's expression looked somewhat grim for the first time.

Could this road lead to the land of the Nine Hades?

Was this place the ancient underworld?

The Lord of the Nine Hades, was it the ruler of the underworld?

Was the shocking secret related to ancient secrets?

At this moment, there were too many questions in Ye Chen's mind.

Perhaps only by reaching the end, finding the Lord of the Nine Hades mentioned by the Misty Pill Saint, and discovering the shocking secret could the mystery be unraveled.

"Nine Hades Platform, the executioner's block, is this where it ends?" Wu Qingxue's expression also didn't look good.

"If it's just this, the Misty Pill Saint wouldn't have left those words behind. The shocking secret he mentioned must be related to the Lord of the Nine Hades, and he must have discovered something." Ye Chen shook his head. Even without the Misty Pill Saint's words, a mere Nine Hades Platform couldn't stop his footsteps.

"Boom!"

Stepping forward, the blood in his body began to boil even more violently, as if it were truly about to erupt.

Behind him, Wu Qingxue's situation was even worse. Her face was already blood-red, her heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst, causing her jade-like face to change drastically.

"Dust, I can't bear it anymore." After taking more than ten steps, Wu Qingxue had to stop, as if taking another step would cause her blood vessels to burst and her body to explode.

"You step back first. If I can't get through, I'll return the way I came." Ye Chen's voice was solemn, his steps still continuing. His heart was also beating, his blood flowing rapidly like boiling water, incessantly throbbing.

Even so, Ye Chen didn't give up. He not only wanted to continue forward but also because the closer he got to the Nine Hades Platform, the more his blood pulsated, as if a power were awakening, making him very eager.

"Boom!"

When he walked fifty steps, there was a sudden burst within his body, as if his blood was exploding, and a powerful aura was released.

"Breaking through?!" Behind him, Wu Qingxue showed a shocked expression.

She was already struggling to move forward on this ancient road, yet Ye Chen, in the midst of it, was able to break through?

Was breakthrough really that simple?

"Interesting, this Nine Hades Platform must be extraordinary." With a nine-fold breakthrough in the meridian, Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised. But the more so, the more he wanted to see what was special about the Nine Hades Platform.
