Chapter 1155: Netherworld and Gate to Hell
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After the light of the space transfer formation disappeared, Zhang Ruochen and Huang Yanchen found out that they arrived at a white planet.
It was a planet covered by white sand and white stones. There wasn’t any other color on it. It seemed that the entire world was bleached.
This planet was much larger than ordinary planets. Even though Zhang Ruochen completely let his mind power out, he couldn’t reach the edge.
The land structure of the planet was also much stabler than that of Kunlun’s Field.
Zhang Ruochen punched the ground, testing its hardness.
He was strong enough to break off a mountain easily in Kunlun’s Field, but he couldn’t do it here.
The rocks on the planet were solid like saint jades.
“There was spiritual Qi in the air, and it’s thick. It isn’t a deserted planet.” Huang Yanchen said.
Blackie checked all the saintly stones in the transfer formation. It said, “There’re no other space coordinates in the transfer formation. Have we reached the end?”
“The end?”
Zhang Ruochen pinched his jaw and frowned. He reckoned there was something more going on.
Saint Monk Xumi was a supreme being. Even if he wasn’t a god, he was just as powerful as them. There was no need for him to set up these space transfer formations.
Was there a secret on this white planet?
“This planet is enormous with spiritual Qi, yet I can’t sense any life forces here. This is just bizarre. Be careful, everyone.” Huang Yanchen said.
Blackie rushed out of the transfer formation and dug the sand with its claws. It managed to dig out a broken stele from the underground.
The broken stele was millions of pounds and more than seventy feet long. There were two words on the stele, ‘Bai Chang’.
Half the word ‘Chang’ was gone missing.
Zhang Ruochen opened his heavenly eyes and searched the ground. He quickly found the missing part of the stele and dug it out.
As he combined the two halves of the stele, he saw the complete word, ‘Bai Chang Planet’.
Blackie scratched its hairy head and said, “This name of this planet is Bai Chang Planet. Why haven’t I heard of it before? This isn’t a planet around Kunlun’s Field.”
Zhang Ruochen looked up and stared at the shining sun using his heavenly eyes. His pupils shrunk suddenly because of shock, “Look at the sun there.”
Blackie and Huang Yanchen looked up at the same time, and they were both shocked also.
They didn’t even notice the shining sun in the sky before. The only knew that the light coming from the sun was so glaring that they couldn’t even look at it straight.
After they did it, they were both shocked.
“Why is the sun rectangular? I’ve never seen something like that before!”
Blackie’s eyes popped with astonishment. Even with its experience, it found it incredible.
The sun in the sky was indeed rectangular.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Why do I feel like that’s a door.”
Blackie was staggered, and its fur became so stiff that it looked like a hedgehog. It said, “Are you kidding, Zhang Ruochen? Bai Chang Star is incredibly far from that rectangular sun. It’s at least one hundred million miles away. If that’s really a door, how large can that be?”
Huang Yanchen said, “I also think that’s a door.”
“A door in the astral space that is as large as a sun?” Blackie also shared the idea, but it couldn’t believe it.
The scene it saw had far surpassed its knowledges.
“I want to get closer to check it.”
Zhang Ruochen looked serious. He knew that there was some secret behind this.
Blackie yelled, “Are you crazy? With your cultivation, it’ll take you at least a year to get there without any rest. If something happens to you on your way there, you might be killed. There’re too many dangers in the space. It’s not as easy as you think.”
Zhang Ruochen said, “It won’t take that long. I can transport myself there using the transport formation. Even if the formation doesn’t transport me there directly, I can still get there in time.”
Blackie thought that Zhang Ruochen was taking a huge risk. It said, “If that’s not a door, but a sun, it’ll burn you to ashes instantly.”
“And besides, even if it is a door, you can’t get back here using the transport formation. Are you going to spend years flying back here? Aren’t you afraid that you might die on you way back here?”
What Blackie said made sense.
The decision made by Zhang Ruochen would indeed bring lots of dangers. If he transported himself there recklessly, it might be the pathway to death.
“Let me calculate the exact location of that shining sun first, then I’ll consider whether I can go or not.”
Zhang Ruochen mobilized his mind power and started to calculate.
Time flied, and when Zhang Ruochen finally calculated the distance between Bai Chang Planet and the sun, it was already dawn.
The night came, and an astral sky showed up above them.
The astral sky got more bizarre. Billions of stars gathered and formed a river of stars. The river lied across the universe, which gave people endless imagination.
The light coming from the river of stars looked like a yellow river flowing in the universe.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the astral sky for a long time. He shook his head and said, “I can’t find any stars and planets anymore. We’ve arrived in an alien astral domain, which is very far from Kunlun’s Field.”
“It doesn’t look so far though. I can see the light coming from Golden Void World.”
Huang Yanchen pointed at the north. At the edge of the astral sky, a planet emanated dimming golden light.
“How are you so sure that the planet is Golden Void World?” Blackie asked.
“I feel like it.” Huang Yanchen said.
“Pst.” Blackie was speechless.
It only believed in facts, not feeling.
Zhang Ruochen was still staring at the yellow astral river above them. Countless stars gathered there.
“Do you think that there’s a booming civilization there?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
This time, Blackie was also silently pondering what Zhang Ruochen said.
If that Netherworld Astral River was an actual civilization, it would be more prosperous than the combination of Kunlun’s Field and tens of thousands of void worlds.
Huang Yanchen said, “What do you think that Netherworld Astral River is made of? Stars or water? Are those stars just islands floating on the river?”
Blackie rolled its eyes at Huang Yanchen and said, “You’re so imaginative.”
Zhang Ruochen looked up at the astral sky, and this was the first time he realized he was insignificant compared to the vast sky and land. Thoughts flooded his mind.
In the morning of the second day, when Huang Yanchen and Blackie were still sleeping, Zhang Ruochen walked into the space transport formation by himself and activated it.
Huang Yanchen and Blackie immediately woke up and tried to stop Zhang Ruochen, but it was too late.
The glowing light gushed out of the formation, forcing Huang Yanchen and Blackie to step back.
“Wait for me on Bai Chang Planet. I’ll definitely come back!” Zhang Ruochen said.
“Hua!”
The light from the formation withered away, and Zhang Ruochen vanished, leaving Bai Chang Planet.
It wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision for Zhang Ruochen to go to the sun, instead, he was guided by an invisible force.
Also, he did suspect the sun was a door.
A glowing door floated in the cold, dark and serene universe. The door was so enormous that even a star looked like a sand compared to it.
“Hua.”
Space ripples showed up one hundred and seventeen thousand miles away from the light door.
Zhang Ruochen walked out from the center of the space ripples, looking at the front. He couldn’t be more shocked and felt like being suffocated.
That was indeed a door.
“What is that place?”
Zhang Ruochen took a deep breath, and a pair of dragon wings emerged from his back. He rushed toward that door as fast as possible, riding Blue Luan and Fiery Phoenix.
The temperature of the door wasn’t high at all, instead, the door felt cold.
As Zhang Ruochen got closer to the door, he got palpitations. The forces coming from the light door shrank the pores of his body.
It was the art of God. Definitely the art of God.
Only God could create something like this.
“Go back. You’re not supposed to be here.”
When Zhang Ruochen was only ten thousand miles away from the light door, a mind power ripple came into Zhang Ruochen’s mind out of nowhere.
Zhang Ruochen immediately slowed down and stopped. Although he was startled inside, he looked calm. He said, “Who are you?”
At the right corner of the light door floated a palace.
The palace looked splendid, but compared to that light door, it was tiny. One needed to observe carefully to find that palace.
The trace of mind power came from that palace.
And then, a second trace of mind power came out from the palace again, “I’m just a doorman. Boy, the fact that you can come here means you have some power, but your cultivation is far from enough for you to enter the door. When you get powerful enough in the future, you might come back!”
Zhang Ruochen asked, “What is this place?”
“Gate to Hell.”
That trace of mind power came into Zhang Ruochen’s mind.
“What? Gate to Hell?”
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t be more shocked as the mythical Gate to Hell was lying in the astral sky.
“Can I get into hell if I step into the door?” Zhang Ruochen couldn’t help asking.
“There’re eighteen levels of Gate to Hell. You can only get into hell after getting through all those levels.” That voice said.
