Chapter 879 The Netherworld Abyss
There was a lake in the center of the swamp. Lu Yu reached the center of said lake and could vaguely feel deathly energy radiating.
At this moment, the Death Spirit Dragon appeared. Its massive dragon head floated in the air and looked at Lu Yu.
“That’s right; it’s here. Shortly, a stone door will appear and open the passage to the Netherworld Abyss.”
Lu Yu scanned his surroundings. The surroundings were deathly silent, and there were hardly any animals.
Obviously, no one was sane enough to come close to this place. Even if there were someone bold who came close, they would not qualify to enter the Netherworld Abyss.
Of course, it wasn’t that no one had entered that place, but no one had been able to get out safely after entering.
“I heard from others that no outsider can exit that awful place. Is that true?”
“Of course,” the Death Spirit Dragon replied immediately. “At least, no one who went in could come out, as far as I know.”
“In the Netherworld Abyss, there is a small country. There are quite a few cultivators there. Moreover, danger lurks everywhere in that canyon. Many people die on the way before they can even reach that small country.”
“There’s a country inside? How strange. I’ll wonder if they have the ability to keep me there!”
“Of course not. With your current strength, no one there is your match.”
“Remember, I will only reconstruct your body once. There will be no next time. I will kill you without hesitation if you disobey my orders!”
The Death Spirit Dragon nodded. “Even if given the chance, I wouldn’t dare to do it again.”
The Death Spirit Dragon knew it was no longer a match for Lu Yu, who had three dragons. It could only submit to Lu Yu and suppress any unnecessary thoughts.
This was a surrender to absolute power, and it had no other choice.
At that moment, a dark green light lit up in the center of the lake.
Layers of ripples spread out on the lake.
A solid stone door broke through the lake’s surface and floated above.
The stone door was tall—at least five or six meters long.
The thick stone door contained dark and evil energy, with some of the cracks on the stone door emitting green light. Vines intertwined around the stone door, covering and cloaking it.
“This is the corrupted stone door. Place the light elemental item you synthesized on the stone door, which will be purified quickly.”
“Only after purification can it be opened.”
“Can’t I switch to my Light Dragon Claw instead?” Lu Yu asked in confusion.
“Your Light Dragon Claw is too powerful. This stone door will reject this power while the light elemental item is relatively mild.”
Lu Yu did not pursue a further explanation and took out the pearl that emitted a dazzling light.
After taking it out, Lu Yu stood up and placed the pearl on the stone door.
The pearl stuck to the stone door and instantly began to purify the surroundings at the point of contact.
Soon, the dark aura on the stone door and the entangled vines faded away.
The stone door that contained the aura of death quickly turned into a regular stone door.
At this moment, the stone door rang out with a dull sound.
The stone door opened, and a teleportation portal appeared in the center.
“This means the portal has been activated?”
The Death Spirit Dragon nodded. “That’s right. The stone door has opened, and so has the passage to the Netherworld Abyss. You can go in now.”
Lu Yu stepped onto the steps before the stone door and walked inside.
The Death Spirit Dragon turned into a beam of light and reentered Lu Yu’s pocket watch.
Lu Yu passed through the stone door and the portal.
The next moment, Lu Yu appeared in the midst of darkness.
But soon, rays of light shone before Lu Yu’s eyes like stars in the sky.
Lu Yu rubbed his eyes and looked around, surprised to see that he was in a strange environment.
The surrounding grass was light blue. There were specks of light surrounding the grass, as if flocks of fireflies were dancing around.
Around them were some fluorescent plants that looked ethereal.
What amazed Lu Yu even more was that there were quite a few trees around.
However, these “trees” were all oversized mushrooms.
Mushrooms of various shapes and colors stood around him.
Although his surroundings were rather dark, he could still see clearly with these plants and animals that emitted light.
“This place isn’t as bad as you said. It’s quite beautiful.”
It was Lu Yu’s first time in such a place, and he found it rather novel. If he were here for a vacation, he would gladly stay for some time.
“This canyon is enormous, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Continue walking forward, and I’ll guide you to that small country.”
“What’s the name of that small country?”
Lu Yu asked.
“The Twilight Kingdom. It’s a small country with a population of only a few hundred thousand people. It is built on both sides of a river. The country is relatively primitive and has no modern technology.”
A population of several hundred thousand was about the size of a small city in the Freedom Federation.
This was indeed a small country.
“Go straight and turn left.”
Lu Yu listened to the Death Spirit Dragon’s instructions and walked forward. Like a fairyland, the surrounding habitat was beautiful, greatly slowing Lu Yu’s progress.
He stepped on the grass, and with every step he took, countless fluorescent dots would dance around.
He gradually saw some animals around him, such as glowing frogs, small snakes swimming in the grass, and some rats eating giant mushrooms.
As they continued walking forward, his view broadened.
Lu Yu saw a meandering river that extended out continuously.
He had arrived at a deep canyon with a large river, and dense forests were on both sides.
He walked along the river. From afar, he saw some scattered buildings in front of him.
“Do you see that? Those buildings belong to the Twilight Kingdom. We’re almost there!”
Lu Yu looked over and saw some simple houses built by the river.
Most of them were rudimentary wooden houses, with only a few brick houses. Lu Yu saw people playing in the river, and a ray of light would appear every time water splashed around.
It appears that a kind of luminous seaweed caused this phenomenon. It would produce light once disturbed.
“Are the people in this country friendly? Have they been staying here all this time?”
“They’re quite friendly, as they are never exposed to the outside. You’ll know when you go over.”
Lu Yu began to approach the buildings. At that moment, a rustling sound came from the grass beside him.
