Chapter 14113 Nine Netherworld Evil Dragon
The God-Slaying Sword and the Bloodthirsty Blade were gathering power within his body, like lurking venomous snakes.

He carefully took his first steps, no longer looking around, but focusing all his attention on perceiving the thick, impenetrable darkness and red mist ahead. Step by step, he cautiously made his way towards the darkest and deepest core area of ​​this "Sea of ​​Sin and Bone Prison" palace, which seemed capable of devouring everything.

With each step, the soles of his boots struck the cold, hard ground, the slight sound amplified by the surrounding silence, striking at the taut strings of his heart.

The feeling was like walking step by step into the depths of the open mouth of some primordial beast.

Ling Xiao carefully made his way through the eerily empty main hall, avoiding the massive stone pillars carved with countless painful demonic figures and exuding a venomous aura.

As they went deeper, the eerie red mist in the air grew thicker and thicker, and the smell of blood and decay became increasingly pungent, almost solidifying. Every breath felt like swallowing cold rust.

Finally, the view opened up, only to be instantly replaced by an even deeper sense of unease!

This is an inner hall space that is slightly smaller than the outer hall, and the light is even dimmer than outside, as if it has been completely swallowed up by the thick red mist.

However, what truly captured Ling Xiao's attention was the chilling scene right in the center of the inner hall.

That was not a pool of water, but a huge pool made up of countless white bones!
The pool walls are made entirely of bones of various shapes, sizes, and colors, some even glowing with an eerie phosphorescence!
There were ribs as thick as beams and pillars, leg bones as sharp as spears, and skulls that were grotesque and twisted, belonging to an unknown creature...

They were stacked and inlaid together in a chaotic and blasphemous way, with a viscous, dark substance flowing through the gaps, like solidified shadows.

Just looking at the pool walls made of piled-up bones, a sense of disgust and fear, stemming from the instinct of life, arises spontaneously.

The pool was not filled with the clear water I had expected.

Instead, it was a dark red liquid as viscous as cooled magma!

It was not flowing blood, but rather a huge, solidified dark red amber, its surface smooth as a mirror, eerily calm, without a single ripple.

But beneath this calm, an evil and bloody aura emanates, a hundred or even a thousand times stronger than that of the main hall outside!
The stench was not just foul; it was also mixed with a violent, insane, and seemingly soul-corroding resentment!

What's even more unsettling is that within this viscous, dark red liquid, there's a faint, indescribable, terrifying energy fluctuation, like that of a dormant volcano!
It's as if an ancient, ferocious beast is lurking within, ready to awaken at any moment and tear everything apart!

Just standing at the edge of the bone pool, the aura mixed with extreme evil and violent energy was like an invisible hammer, fiercely impacting Ling Xiao's mind and soul, causing his protective qi to hum under the strain!
Ling Xiao suppressed the pungent, fishy stench that surged to his head, almost making him vomit, and the sinister, oppressive feeling that seemed to freeze his soul. His voice, slightly hoarse, asked in his mind:
"Senior, what...what is this?"

The bizarre pool before him, composed of white bones and dark red slime, was definitely the most ominous thing he had ever seen in his life!

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Green Spirit's deep, hoarse voice rang out, this time carrying a rare hint of solemnity:
"The essence blood of the Nine Netherworld Evil Dragon".

"Nine Netherworld Evil Dragon?"

Ling Xiao was completely unfamiliar with the name, but the words "evil dragon" alone were enough to evoke images of a terrifying and destructive force!

His heart trembled violently. "This... is dragon blood?!"

"Ah."

Green Spirit's voice regained its detached, reminiscent tone, "A ferocious creature that roamed the universe in ancient times, violent and bloodthirsty, taking pleasure in devouring the world's origin."

As for its strength... in its time, it was barely... passable.

Its tone was as indifferent as if it were commenting on an ant, but the words "roaming the universe" and "devouring the origin of the world" revealed how terrifying and overwhelming this evil dragon was in its lifetime!

The fact that its essence and blood have survived to this day speaks volumes about the unimaginable energy it contains!
Ling Xiao's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he couldn't help but ask, "Barely passable?"

So... how 'acceptable' is it?
Compared to your prime years... how does it compare?

He wanted to find out more about this mysterious "Green Spirit".

Within her sea of ​​consciousness, Green Spirit remained silent for a moment.

The silence seemed to carry a sense of impending doom.

Immediately afterwards, Green Spirit's voice turned icy cold, like ancient ice rubbing against each other, carrying an undisguised murderous aura and a dangerous implication that said, "You little brat, you're asking for trouble."

"Kid, if you keep asking me these pointless, arrogant questions, you're just arguing with me..."

Its voice was deliberate and chilling, each word dripping with coldness: "Believe it or not, I'll come out right now, force you into this blood pool, and let you taste what it's like to be soaked in the 'barely passable' blood essence of a monstrous dragon for three days and three nights?!"

"!!!"

Ling Xiao felt a sudden chill on the back of his neck, as if an invisible, icy claw had already placed itself on the back of his neck!

He wisely shut his mouth with lightning speed, forced a very "well-behaved and sensible" expression on his face, and nodded vigorously to indicate that he would absolutely, absolutely not say another word!
Since arriving here, the green spirit seems to have become more confident and powerful than before, and even he felt a strong sense of oppression.

He cautiously took half a step back, distancing himself from the edge of the bone pool that exuded a terrifying aura. His gaze warily swept back and forth between the viscous, amber-like dark red blood pool and the green spirit, silently thinking: This senior has a bad temper; I can't afford to offend him...

The essence and blood of an ancient ferocious creature!

Ling Xiao's gaze was drawn to the pool of dark red water before him, as if by a magnet.

That viscous, amber-like liquid, eerily calm, exuded a chilling malevolence more chilling than eternal ice and an energy fluctuation more violent than volcanic lava, like a sleeping abyss that could awaken at any moment and devour everything that approached it!

The mere sight of him caused the demonic needles within his body to tremble slightly, and the God-Slaying Sword and the Bloodthirsty Blade to emit a low hum, carrying both desire and instinctive apprehension.

He forcefully suppressed the churning blood and the throbbing deep within his soul, his voice as deep and resonant as a mountain, as he asked in his mind:
"Senior, you went to great lengths to guide me through time and space to this 'Sea of ​​Sin and Bone Prison,' to confront the essence blood of the Nine Netherworld Sinful Dragon... What exactly do you want me to do?"

He needs a clear answer, instead of being led by the nose anymore.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Green Spirit's deep, hoarse voice rang out. This time, it shed its previous mockery and impatience, regaining its indifference as if it had seen through eternity, and it no longer beat around the bush:
"I've been observing you for some time now."
