Chapter 3849 Escape
Chapter 3849 Escape
"Rodney! Let's go!"
Fang Heng quickly pulled Rodney up, and taking advantage of the spatial barrier that was broken by the eruption of the underworld vortex and the impact of the divine power, he quickly took out an underworld orb and returned to the underworld with Rodney.
At the same time, the two Extreme Realm Elders had just left Black Island and joined up with a group of Saint-level Elders who had retreated earlier.
The twelve defensive barriers on the outer layer of the Black Island have been activated to their limit.
"Sorry, we messed up."
Ajax met the gaze of the Central Divine Court elder and felt a burning pain on his face.
Not only did they fail to complete the mission, they also lost a Holy See Elder and a Supreme Elder.
Fortunately, everyone else had already evacuated before the Netherworld vortex.
The elders of the Central Divine Court, disregarding any potential mistakes, waved their hands, signaling the guardians of the divine race to activate the barrier to its maximum.
"Om...!"
The earth trembled violently, and even the air seemed to hum.
"boom!!!!"
The next moment, the aura of death erupted!
A terrifying aura of the undead erupted from the center of the black island, spreading wildly outwards and shattering several layers of outer holy defenses in succession.
The outermost sealing barrier of the Black Island was shattered three times in succession, and the heavy bombardment only gradually stopped on the fourth layer.
It's blocked!
The fourth seal was on the verge of collapse, yet it stubbornly resisted the spread of the undead aura.
Huh? What's going on?
The group exchanged glances.
Something's not right.
As they anticipated, the Hades Emperor's self-destruction of the Underworld Vortex would generate enough shockwave to shatter at least eight layers of barriers.
The impact was rather weak.
not good!
Ajax suddenly realized what was happening and looked up, saying, "We've fallen for their trap. Hades might be bluffing us. He didn't completely detonate the Underworld Vortex; he just wanted to protect that member of his clan as he left."
Everyone was startled upon hearing this.
Upon closer reflection, it does seem quite possible?
After all, the Underworld Emperor hadn't pursued them before, but had easily let them leave the Black Island.
If the Underworld Emperor were to self-destruct with the intention of dying, he could definitely take a Saintly Elder with him, let alone an Elder at the Extreme Realm!
"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"
The elders of the Central Divine Court instructed everyone to remain on the outskirts of Black Isle to maintain the operation of the outer barrier, and then led Ajax and his party back into Black Isle.
At this moment, after a round of explosions from the Netherworld vortex, the Black Island was shrouded in a thick layer of eerie, undead mist.
The two high-ranking elders each unleashed a divine radiance spell to dispel the undead fog.
Until the group arrived at the center of the black island.
The vortex of the dead has been severely damaged, reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size, yet it still manages to keep operating.
The Netherworld race on the ground below were also impacted by the explosion of the Netherworld vortex. Many Netherworld race members were seriously injured, and many even died in the explosion.
The group looked at each other.
Elder Orland, a master of the highest level, glanced at the Netherworld race below for a moment, his brows furrowing deeply. "The Netherworld race member who just killed Julius is gone."
Damn!
Even on his deathbed, the Underworld Emperor still managed to outmaneuver them!
Ajax's eyes flashed with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Despite expending so much effort, they still couldn't eliminate the person who caused chaos in the underworld.
The elder of the Central Divine Court stared at the Netherworld vortex in front of him for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the Netherworld Emperor did indeed hold back and did not completely detonate the vortex of the undead."
Soon, a Holy Throne-level elder flew forward to inspect the vortex of the dead, then quickly flew back, shook his head, and said, "The Netherworld Vortex is 90% damaged. It will take at least ten thousand years to repair it to normal operation. Moreover, the God Realm is not suitable for the restoration of the Netherworld Vortex."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.
The elder then looked down at the severely injured Netherworld Clan members and said, "Furthermore, we need to keep these Netherworld Clan members to help us repair the Netherworld Vortex."
The elder of the Central Divine Court asked, "Where is the Underworld Emperor? Has it been confirmed that he is dead?"
"The Underworld Emperor triggered the explosion of the Underworld vortex by drawing upon life force. Once this is initiated, it cannot be reversed, and the Underworld Emperor certainly cannot survive," Ajax said, sighing inwardly. "However, the Underworld Emperor's subordinate has probably already left the realm of the gods..."
A moment of silence fell over everyone.
They suddenly realized that although the Underworld Emperor was dead, he had left them with an even more troublesome opponent.
Once that person escapes, the mess in the underworld will be impossible to handle.
The elder of the Central Divine Court frowned and said, "In that case, we should first report to the royal family that the Underworld Emperor is dead and the Underworld Vortex will not be able to provide reincarnation power for a short period of time. The reincarnation time of the clansmen in various reincarnations will be greatly increased."
"Furthermore, the successor to the Underworld Emperor is very likely to have escaped the explosion, and the crisis in the Underworld has not been completely resolved."
"Yes."
"Ajax, you stay here for now and deal with the Hades of Black Isle..."
……
Underworld.
Fang Heng and Rodney were teleported to the area around several black mist towers using the Underworld Orb.
"The Underworld Emperor..."
Rodney knew that Hades was dead, and his voice choked with emotion. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He looked up at his old homeland in the underworld, his eyes filled with grief.
Fang Heng gently shook his head.
He didn't have many interactions with the Underworld Emperor, and he didn't have much affection for that arrogant old man. However, the Underworld Emperor ultimately paid the price of his life rather than hand him over to the God Clan, and even forcibly escorted him away from the God Realm. This made him feel more in awe of the Underworld Emperor.
Pity.
The Underworld Emperor is very powerful, and even the gods are wary of him because he has the ability to control the vortex of the Underworld.
Unfortunately, the entire Underworld Clan was his weakness, and he couldn't abandon them.
Another ally has been lost in the fight against the gods.
Fang Heng looked at Rodney beside him and advised, "Rodney, I understand your feelings, but now is not the time to be sad. The deceased are gone, and our crisis is not completely over. The Underworld Emperor instructed you to take good care of the people who remain in the Underworld."
“I understand. I’m afraid the Underworld Emperor had already foreseen this and sent me back to the Underworld with a group of my people ahead of time.”
“If the Netherworld Clan encounters any trouble, they can come to me at any time. I will continue to deal with the God Clan. If needed, you can bring your people to live in my territory. I have a world where the environment is similar to the Netherworld. You should be able to live there.”
"Thank you, Mr. Fang Heng."
Rodney clasped his hands in thanks.
He didn't have much hope for Fang Heng's suggestion to transfer the Underworld Clan away.
After all, he didn't think there was any place that could compare to their hometown.
Now is not the time for sorrow. The younger generation of the Underworld race, who have just been transferred to the Underworld, still need care. They need to lie low and wait for their opportunity. (End of Chapter)
