Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

The old man paused for a moment, then continued, "We were originally thinking about what kind of opportunity we should find to send the Pegasus into Hell to collect the fruit of the golden elm."

"But this time, Pegasus's soul fell into hell, so we thought that after you rescue Pegasus, you could also go deep into hell and collect the fruit of the 'wood apple'."

"So, it's not entirely a bad thing that Pegasus's soul fell into hell?" Wuxin shook his head and chuckled.

"You could say that!"

The Pope nodded and said solemnly, "However, Pegasus is no ordinary person, and his soul is certainly under close scrutiny in the underworld."

"Therefore, you must set off as soon as possible and find Pegasus's soul before the Specters do."

"If it falls into Hades' hands, it will be even more troublesome!"

Hearing this, Wuxin's expression also became serious, and he said earnestly, "But the Underworld is so vast, how can I find the soul of the Pegasus?"

"Use it!"

The Pope descended the steps, opened his right hand, and a fragment of silver-gray armor was revealed before Wu Xin's eyes.

"This is a fragment of the Pegasus Cloth. It has a great causal connection with Pegasus, and with the blessing left on it by Lord Sasha, it can guide you to find Pegasus's soul in the underworld!" the old man introduced solemnly.

"With its guidance, there's no problem!" Wu Xin breathed a sigh of relief and carefully took the fragment of armor.

"Is there anything else you need to prepare? If not, then set off as soon as possible, young Archduke!" Pope Sage asked earnestly.

"No more! I'm ready to leave anytime!" Wu Xin shook his head.

"Then go! Lord Sasha and I are waiting for your good news!" Saiqi patted Wuxin on the shoulder and said.

"Most definitely!"

Wu Xin nodded, then took two steps back, gathering the power of his inner universe at his fingertips.

"Sekishiki - Netherworld Wave"

Three streams of silver energy were released from his fingertips and, under his control, were injected into a spatial node in front of him.

Guided by the power of death, Goshin communicated with the underworld's Hirasaka, and a dimensional portal filled with filthy death energy opened before him.

Before parting, perhaps because she was in a bad mood, Sasha, who hadn't spoken much, finally spoke again.

"Have a safe journey, My Lord! Be sure to come back with Pegasus!"

"I definitely will, Lord Sasha! Please rest assured!" Wuxin nodded and stepped into the dimensional portal with one foot.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked again, "When I passed by the Libra Temple earlier, I noticed that the Libra Cloth was badly damaged. It seems that Lord Dohko and the others must have gone through a very fierce battle."

"I wonder how Lord Tong Hu's injuries are now?"

"Mr. Tong Hu, he..."

Upon hearing this, Sasha's eyes welled up with tears again, and she involuntarily covered her mouth, unable to utter a single complete sentence.

Pope Sage sighed upon seeing this, saying, "Tong Hu was seriously injured in his battle with Tianbao Xinghuihuo in Italy, and then on his way back, he was ambushed and killed by Tiangui Xingminos and his men outside the barrier."

"Dohko fought fiercely against Tengu, severely injuring him, which finally allowed Shion to kill him!"

"Tong Hu... is dead???"

Upon hearing this news, Wu Xin was shocked. Since his other foot had already stepped into the dimensional passage, his foot suddenly lost its footing, and he involuntarily fell in.

Chapter 56 Entering the Underworld

By the time Wu Xin came to his senses, he had already crossed the dimensional portal and arrived in a dim, yellowish world, and the dimensional portal behind him closed.

"Tong Hu is dead?"

He hasn't fully processed this astonishing news yet.

This is truly unexpected.

In his memory, the first Gold Saint to sacrifice himself in the Holy War was Pisces Yaphica, but now it has become Libra Dohko, which really caught him off guard.

It's important to know that Tong Hu is no ordinary person. In a sense, he, like Pegasus, possesses an extremely high destiny.

After all, he is not only one of the protagonists of this holy war, but also one of the protagonists of the next holy war.

Logically speaking, such a guy should have a very strong destiny and would definitely not die easily.

But in reality, Tong Hu died inexplicably.

This development is far more significant than the change in Wuxin replacing Ye and the others in entering the Underworld to rescue Tianma.

"Damn it, the changes in the future are becoming more and more incomprehensible!" Wu Xin couldn't help but curse under his breath.

As things change more and more, it means that the stories he once knew can only remain stories.

Aside from some basic information, it was difficult to give him anything else useful.

He can no longer view the world according to the original story, otherwise he will only die a terrible death.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Ugh--"

After sighing, he finally gathered his chaotic thoughts and looked around at the surroundings.

The sky and the ground here are both yellowish-brown, and countless ghosts and spirits are lined up in a very eerie manner, jumping one after another towards a huge cliff in front of them.

"Is this Yomotsu Hirasaka?"

Although he had already mastered the Qi of Accumulated Corpses and could communicate with the underworld, this was his first time entering this place.

This bizarre scene truly lives up to its reputation as a world of death, a forbidden zone for the living.

Putting everything else aside, the intense aura of death in the air alone is something most people cannot withstand.

If an ordinary person were to fall into this place, they would probably be completely transformed into a living corpse within a minute by the dense death aura.

Even fighters who have mastered the power of the Cosmo cannot stay here for long unless they are like Goshin who can freely control the power of death.

They too are affected by the deathly aura here, but they can endure it for a longer time than ordinary people.

However, this is not the real underworld, but the gap between the underworld and the human world, and the entrance for ordinary souls to enter the underworld.

With his ability to understand the mind, he could easily open a passage to the underworld, but given the current tense situation, entering the underworld rashly would easily be noticed.

After all, the Underworld is the territory of the Specters, especially with the Twin Gods in charge.

For safety's sake, Goshin chose to come to Yomotsu Hirasaka, intending to enter the Underworld through its official entrance.

“However, before entering the underworld, I need to disguise myself a little more!” Wu Xin beckoned with his finger, immediately gathering the surrounding aura of death.

Then, he condensed and gathered that aura of death, which solidified on the surface of his Saint Cloth.

In the end, the originally silver Giant Saint Cloth was stained with a layer of black, turning into a black battle suit that exuded a chilling aura of death and filth.

"Okay, that's all done!" Looking at his work, Wu Xin nodded in satisfaction.

By concealing it with death energy, the true nature of the Saint Cloth was completely hidden, making it no different from a Surplice. He could easily disguise himself as a Specter and operate in the Underworld.

Unless he reveals it himself, it is almost impossible for others to see through his disguise.

At the same time, this dense death aura can also conceal his own living presence, making it easier for him to move around in the underworld and reducing a lot of unnecessary trouble.

You should know that living people are very conspicuous in this underworld full of death.

After checking his disguise again and confirming that there were no oversights, Wuxin followed the procession of the dead and hurried forward.

Below the cliff at the very front of the procession of the dead is the entrance to the underworld.

At this moment, a patrolling ghost noticed Wuxin's presence.

"Hey, where did you come from? I've never seen you before!" the man asked, carrying a sickle.

"Are you questioning me?" Wu Xin lowered his voice and released his inner universe aura to press down on him.

That was just an ordinary ghost messenger, not even one of the 108 Demon Stars, equivalent to a trainee Saint in the Sanctuary. There was no need for him to explain.

"So you're a Demon Star Lord! Please, Lord, spare my life!"

Feeling the pressure from the microcosm, the ghost messenger immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to even raise his head.

"Humph!"

Wu Xin snorted coldly, said nothing more, and ran straight toward the cliff not far away.

The other ghost messengers dared not stop them, fearing they would bring unforeseen disaster upon themselves.

In the blink of an eye, Wuxin arrived at that cliff.

He glanced down at the bottomless abyss, as if a terrifying beast had opened its jaws and was waiting below, letting the souls above keep jumping down.

In addition, he also sensed a strange gravitational pull coming from the abyss, as if trying to suck his soul out of his body.

He knew that it was the natural attraction of the underworld's laws to the soul.

"The underworld, here I come!"

Wu Xin was not afraid and jumped straight down.

Whoohoo!

All that could be heard was the constant whistling of wind all around, and below, a large amount of death energy emerged, like clouds, supporting the falling Wuxin.

As the aura of death below grew stronger, Wu Xin's descent slowed down rather than increased, eventually becoming as light as a feather.

Wu Xin didn't know how long he had been floating in mid-air when suddenly his vision blurred, and he found himself out of the dark abyss and into a red world.

The sun here is red, the sky is red, and even the earth has a faint red tinge, as if the whole world has been soaked in blood.

"We've finally arrived in the underworld!"

Wu Xin couldn't help but sigh.

However, as he escaped the Yomotsu Hirasaka Abyss, he lost the slowing and protective effect of the dense death energy within the abyss, and once again accelerated his descent towards the ground.

boom!

With a loud crash, Wuxin fell to the ground, creating a crater more than ten meters in diameter.

However, the impact of the fall posed no threat to him, and he easily withstood it.

Not far away, some zombies and ghosts were drawn by the noise and slowly approached.

Wu Xin had no interest in paying attention to them. He simply stomped his foot lightly, releasing a shock that sent them flying.
