Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree

Chapter 165 Entering the River Styx

Under the guidance of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, Mu Yu soon met the Six-Legged Demon King.

At this moment, the six-legged creature was wearing a black cloak, concealing itself very well, clearly hiding some secret.

Upon seeing Mu Yu and Yuan Yao beside Tianmiao Linghuang, Liuzu's face immediately darkened.

"Hmph! Heavens—I never imagined you'd have two burdens with you."

"What, you think you're going on vacation by barging into a place like that?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu stared at Tianmiao Linghuang with a strange expression.

It was one thing back in the Tianpeng Clan, but why didn't the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor conceal his identity in front of that old guy with six legs?

Faced with Mu Yu's puzzled expression, Tianmiao Linghuang was also somewhat embarrassed and quietly explained in a whisper, "It's not that I don't want to hide my identity, it's just that I can't hide it anymore."

"It's fine if I don't use my own puppets, but once I use them and illusions to my fullest extent, everyone will know my name."

After giving Mu Yu a brief explanation, Tianmiao Linghuang's gaze toward the six-legged creature was far from friendly.

"These two people will naturally have their uses."

"If you are unwilling, you can choose another way to solve the problem."

Liu Zu felt a surge of frustration after being rebuked by Tianmiao Linghuang.

If they were still within the Ephemeral Clan at this moment, even a Mahayana cultivator would have to treat them with utmost respect, given the strength of the human race alone.

But now—

After giving Tianmiao Linghuang a very wary look, Liuzu stopped talking and took the lead in walking into the depths of the abyss.

Originally, Liuzu planned to trick the other four demon kings in the Abyss into plotting with him to steal the Styx God's Milk.

But now, it is indeed a better option.

With this foreign tribe secretly infiltrating, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention.

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor was well aware of this, but he didn't care about the Six-Legged Man's ulterior motives.

Mu Yu had already told Tianmiao Linghuang about Qing Yuanzi. Given Qing Yuanzi's status, even if the two of them were discovered by the Ephemeral Clan, it wouldn't be a big deal.

As someone who was able to stay in the sacred land of the Ephemeral Clan, Qing Yuanzi still had some influence.

Led by Liuzu, Tianmiao Linghuang soon brought Muyu and Yuanyao to the deepest part of the Abyss, the seventh level.

In the seventh level, the dark energy is mixed with various yin energies, making the environment exceptionally harsh. At the same time, the seventh level also hides some abyssal monsters that are comparable to those in the Integration stage.

Without the help of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, Mu Yu would have had no ability to get here alone, let alone rely on the Sky-Shocking Demon to infiltrate the River Styx.

Arriving at a seemingly ordinary place, Mu Yu couldn't see anything, but Tianmiao Linghuang looked around with a look of amazement on his face.

"As expected of the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor, you are truly insightful. These sacrificial formations are something I prepared all by myself for a long time."

"I don't know where you learned about the Styx God's Milk, nor do I know how you know my true identity."

"But if you want to obtain this item, it's best not to cause too much of a stir in the Underworld."

The six-legged demon king spoke a warning, while a crimson light flashed in his eyes.

Mu Yu only sensed a strong stench of blood, and the next moment, a rumbling thunder came from the void in front of him.

Soon, accompanied by a spatial distortion, a hairy silver arm stretched out, followed by another.

Before long, a "clucking" sound, similar to a rooster's crow, came out.

The Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword within Mu Yu's body began to vibrate the moment the cry was heard, and released a wisp of warding-off divine lightning to protect its master.

Mu Yu could suppress this unusual activity.

However, with the Heavenly Mystic Emperor by her side, Mu Yu no longer needed to hide herself.

"Evil-repelling divine thunder!!!"

"I never imagined that such a thing could exist in this world."

"No wonder the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor would take a junior like you under his wing."

Liu Zu spoke thoughtfully, while at the same time glancing at Yuan Yao beside Mu Yu.

Since this Nascent Soul stage youth possesses such a heaven-defying item as the Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, what special qualities does this little girl possess?

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor also noticed the six-legged creature's gaze, but he didn't care.

First of all, the Heavenly Yin Body is a physique that is only passed down within the Changyuan Clan, and it is basically useless to other races.

If it weren't for prior knowledge, even Mo Jianli wouldn't have been able to detect Yuan Yao's special physique.

Secondly, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor was confident in his own strength. Even if the Six-Legged One turned against him on the spot, he was confident that he could protect the two people around him.

Of course, most importantly, the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor still needed the Six-Legged One to wait for them to enter the River Styx, otherwise he would not have tolerated the Six-Legged One's presumptuous gaze.

As time went by, the six-legged creature could no longer keep its eyes on Yuan Yao, because the Jingkong Demon had officially appeared in the Abyss and began to devour the blood food that the six-legged creature had prepared in advance.

This terrifying demon's appearance is so horrifying that it could probably scare several timid mortals to death if it were in the mortal world.

The Sky-Shattering Demon devoured the blood food very quickly. After finishing, it glanced at the Six-Legged One and the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor, seemingly judging whether they were its food.

Then, the Sky-Shocking Demon let out a burp, nonchalantly tore open space again, and chose to return.

"Alright, the Sky-Shattering Demon has already opened up the space leading to the River Styx. Now all we need to do is enter it."

"However, after entering the land of the Styx, there will be many dangers to encounter in order to obtain the Styx Divine Milk."

After giving a brief reminder, Liuzu couldn't wait to step into the spatial passage left behind by Jingkongmo.

After assessing the situation, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor placed some kind of protective spell on Yuan Yao before leading the two of them inside.

The entire spatial passage wasn't very long, and soon the six-legged creature had reached the vicinity of a barrier.

"It seems that although this Sky-Shocking Demon has not developed any intelligence, it still knows to block the spatial passage based on its instincts alone."

"Next, it will take some effort."

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor spoke in a teasing tone, and then the Bone Phoenix appeared abruptly, its body radiating unique spatial fluctuations.

It seems that the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor's Bone Phoenix Puppet not only possesses combat power at the Integration Stage, but also has preserved the spatial divine power of the ancient Rainbow Phoenix.

Before long, the spatial barrier that had been blocked by the Sky-Shocking Demon began to disintegrate and disappear under the spatial power of the Bone Phoenix.

The moment the spatial barrier collapsed, an astonishing chill surged out. Even with the protective aura of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, Mu Yu still felt a slight discomfort.

Along with the chill, what came into Mu Yu's view was a vast expanse of white water.

"This is the River Styx!"

"Crossing the River Styx is no easy task."

"Although I still have a few treasures, it would be best to borrow this person's exorcising divine thunder."

"Unfortunately, time is still too tight."

"Otherwise, let him learn Mu Qing's Thunder Sacrifice Technique; it would make passing the test much easier."

With a touch of emotion, Liuzu spoke, releasing three token-like objects in an attempt to separate the Styx River before him.

Just as the six-legged creature made its move, boundless demonic energy surged forth from the River Styx.

This place should be the transformed corpse of Zhen Lingluo, so why is there so much demonic energy here?

Could it be that Zhen Lingluo's death is related to the Demon Realm, or to the existence of something like the extraterrestrial demons?

After casting a spell to draw in a wisp of demonic energy, Mu Yu sensed it for a moment and shook his head helplessly.

This demonic energy seems to have merged with the power within Luo's corpse, making it something that Mu Yu can no longer utilize.

If this level of demonic energy is forcibly used, the demonic nascent soul will be directly corrupted by demonic energy.

Practicing demonic arts has nothing to do with becoming demonic.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu raised his hand and released some warding-off divine lightning to protect himself and Yuan Yao, completely ignoring the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor and the Six-Legged One beside him.

Seeing this, Liu Zu was so angry he felt a little itchy to bite.

However, with his and Heavenly Mystic Emperor's combined strength, these demonic energies, though a bit annoying, were not a big deal; they just consumed a considerable amount of energy.

After expending considerable effort and time, the six-legged creature, with the assistance of the Heavenly Mystic Emperor, finally carved out a true passage in the River Styx.

Upon entering the newly opened passage, Liuzu and Tianmiao Linghuang immediately encountered a surge of ghosts. These ghosts originally lived in the River Styx, and their current numbers were inexplicably outrageous.

"Hurry, the ghosts here are endless."

Six-Legged gave a reminder, then eagerly rushed into the ghost tide, using his powerful Fusion Stage cultivation to carve out a passage through it.

Mu Yu, however, followed behind Tianmiao Linghuang and silently took out a Wanhun Banner.

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor was somewhat surprised by this, as this type of demonic soul banner was rarely seen among humans.

"The Soul Banner is well-crafted. It looks like it will be very useful when the demonic calamity breaks out."

Next, while traveling, Tianmiao Linghuang was responsible for capturing those ghosts for Muyu.

Soon, Mu Yu's Ten Thousand Soul Banner was filled to the brim.

It should be noted that this Myriad Souls Vessel has already been reforged in the Spirit Realm, and can store at least tens of millions of living souls inside.

Of course, even the strongest cultivator in the Fusion stage cannot collect tens of millions of living souls in such a short time.

At this moment, Mu Yu's Ten Thousand Soul Banner only contained tens of thousands of ghosts at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Next, Mu Yu took out several magical artifacts such as the Soul-Suppressing Bowl and collected a lot of ghosts in the River Styx.

These things are enough for Mu Yu to spend over a hundred years refining.

Only after Mu Yu confirmed that it was enough did the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor pass through the passage in the River Styx and officially enter the land of the River Styx.

However, as soon as they stepped into the land of the Styx, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor discovered the presence of the Sky-Shattering Demon.

At this moment, the Sky-Shattering Demon is engaged in a fierce battle with the Six-Legged Demon.

However, it is clear that although this Sky-Shattering Demon has not yet awakened its intelligence, its strength and spatial abilities are truly extraordinary.

Even a six-legged demon king at the Fusion Stage could only flee in a very sorry state.

Seeing this, Mu Yu was speechless.

Judging from the appearance, this six-legged creature was probably here for the first time as well, as it didn't even know to put some kind of drug in the blood food.

Of course, it's also possible that the quantity wasn't large enough.

Although the Sky-Shattering Demon had not yet awakened its intelligence, it was naturally furious that a powerful and unfamiliar enemy had broken into its home.

And so, while the six-legged creature was being chased by the Sky-Shocking Demon, the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor, along with Mu Yu and Yuan Yao, descended upon the River Styx.

After glancing at the six-legged creature in the distance, the Heavenly Mystic Emperor turned his questioning gaze to Mu Yu.

Seeing this, Mu Yu sensed his talent for avoiding misfortune and then casually said, "It doesn't matter, we don't need to leave through this kind of place."

"The existence of the six-legged creature is no longer necessary. Whether or not to kill it is up to Senior Tianmiao."

Mu Yu shrugged and spoke casually.

Although the River Styx is very dangerous, it is nothing to the Heavenly Mystic Emperor. As long as Qing Yuanzi is found in the River Styx, he will naturally send the two of them back.

"Well, this is, after all, the sacred ground of the mayfly clan. Let's not cause any more trouble."

Tianmiao Linghuang shook his head, and then, guided by Mu Yu, transformed into a beam of light, enveloping the two of them and disappearing from sight.

Not long after the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor left, the Six-Legged Demon King, who was in a sorry state under the pursuit of the Shocking Sky Demon, completely dropped his pretense.

Using a secret technique, Liuzu easily escaped Jingkongmo's pursuit and returned to the vicinity of Jingkongmo's lair. In front of the spatial passage leading to the Abyss, he set up a series of formations.

Clearly, the six-legged creature had no intention of obtaining any Styx God Milk; all it needed to do was wait at the only exit.

To achieve this effect, he deliberately provoked the Sky-Shattering Demon to attack him after arriving at the River Styx.

As the Six-Legged Demon King had predicted, the Heavenly Mystic Spirit Emperor merely glanced at him before leaving alone, showing no sign of coming to his rescue.

And that's exactly what the purpose of the six-legged creature is.

As long as he sets up a formation at this only exit, he will be the biggest winner of this trip.

Could it be that the Mystic Spirit Emperor was able to leave openly and legitimately through another exit in front of the Ephemeral Clan that day?

With the support of these formations, even if the Heavenly Mystic Emperor is strong, Six-Legged is confident enough to get his hands on everything the opponent has gained in the Styx River Land.

It's even possible that they could kill the other person on the spot.

The advantages and confidence that formations and traps bring can be powerful at times.

Unfortunately, Liuzu was unaware that the way Tianmiao Linghuang and the others left was somewhat different from what he had expected.

The location of the Styx Land is a black sandy land, extremely desolate, with no sign of any life.

Before long, under Mu Yu's guidance, the Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor arrived at another plain of white bones.

Even in the spirit world, such a vast plain composed entirely of bones is an extremely shocking scene.

Before long, Mu Yu and his group encountered a massive army of skeletons, their numbers seemingly endless.

"The scenery in this place is quite interesting."

"If we weren't so weak, turning these Yin Bone Monsters into puppets would be quite a good idea."

The Heavenly Mysterious Spirit Emperor spoke with great interest, then casually waved his hand, clearing away most of the densely packed skeleton army in front of him.

"Senior Tianmiao, please don't be careless. There are many monsters in this kind of place that are extremely troublesome even for you."
