Chapter 959: Chapter 959: The Blessings Left by Ancestors
After the woman stepped back a certain distance, the burning pain on her forehead gradually lessened.
Luo Bingxin was genuinely quite surprised internally.
Mastering the ultimate Eternal Law meant she could virtually immunize against all fire damage; to high temperatures, Luo Bingxin paid no mind. But who would have thought that this woman living in the Netherworld would possess such terrifying fire power?
Gently stroking her forehead, the needle-like sensation filled Luo Bingxin’s eyes with disbelief. She couldn’t help but marvel internally at how those who survived from that era were truly not easy to deal with.
Before Luo Bingxin could react to praise the woman’s toughness, three additional fierce gusts of wind, carrying a chilling and evil air, impacted upon Luo Bingxin’s body.
As a user of the ultimate Eternal Law, Luo Bingxin’s resistance to the Ice Attribute was extreme. Before reaching this Netherworld, she never thought she’d be so affected by the Elemental Power.
Especially when the three gusts of wind hit her, Luo Bingxin clearly perceived her hair standing on end.
"Ha, Drought Demon, you’re actually being quite polite with her."
"What do you know? Her ancestors did confront us, but never actually harmed the Drought Demon. On careful review, her ancestors were actually allies of the Drought Demon. Could she harm this girl? She is one of our own."
On either side, two mummified corpses wearing dilapidated armor appeared, speaking human words.
Looking to the left, beneath the broken helmet, a pale face, as if frosted over, appeared skinny and devoid of any blood color.
Through the ragged armor on its body, you could see the skeletal thinness akin to a corpse.
It’s hard to imagine how this figure endured the hardships of an environment without sunlight.
Sigh～
Its deflated chest heaved, and the icy blue breath from its nostrils was continuously lowering the surrounding temperature. At its waist hung a long-lost gleaming sword, either stained with blood or corroded by rust, exuding a chilling aura that startled Luo Bingxin.
Its eye sockets were pitch black, like endless pits.
The mummy on the right had fuller flesh, yet it appeared even more frightening.
Hanging pieces of rotten skin exposed the muscles beneath, the sides of its cheeks were missing flesh, and its divinely enhanced eyes could see in the dark, showing sinister white teeth.
With each step it took, black ice rapidly formed beneath its feet.
Behind it, a similarly cold, haunting energy exuded.
As for its appearance, Luo Bingxin dared not look any further.
Luo Bingxin knew well that a further glance would only add to her disgust; surviving in this sunless place in such a manner only spoke to the formidable strength of these four.
Witnessing Luo Bingxin’s calm demeanor, the figure on the left couldn’t help but laugh.
"Hey, Drought Demon, you can’t say this girl minds your appearance. We both look like this, yet she isn’t scared; that’s quite rare. Such an understanding girl makes my newly arisen killing intent diminish significantly."
The mummy on the left grinned, a frigid aura leaked from its mouth. If anything passed beside it at this moment, it would undoubtedly be frozen by this extreme cold.
"I accept this girl."
Just as the raspy voice was spoken, the mummy on the other side followed with its words.
"What, Ying Gou, does your acceptance matter? If not for this girl’s ancestor pleading on our behalf before that entity, you’d never have survived here. Even if the girl minds you, what could you do? Truly, your character pales in comparison to mine, Hou Qing."
The Netherworld had no living creatures, no air, nor clean water sources to use. Only highly corrosive and toxic miasma existed.
To survive in such a place, surely, the beings are not simple ones.
Indeed, Luo Bingxin was here seeking the Four Great Corpse Kings who had existed since the Ancient Era.
In terms of strength, any one among them could easily overpower Luo Bingxin.
Her confidence coming to such a place stemmed entirely from the ancestral legacy left behind.
When the Three Realms and Six Paths were initially established, numerous beings, vital yet controversial, who played significant roles for All Celestial Divine Beings needed to be addressed.
The Demon Slayer Race was a prime example.
Born warriors, powerful, highly obedient, they did much for All Celestial Divine Beings.
But due to their unattractive appearance and innate malevolence, All Celestial Divine Beings were ashamed to present them, and unworthy entities like them were eradicated.
The Four Great Corpse Kings faced a similar fate.
These powerful beings solved many issues for All Celestial Divine Beings, but their looks were too repulsive.
Initially, All Celestial Divine Beings intended to handle them the same way they did the Demon Slayer Tribe; when no longer useful, they’d lower the credibility of All Celestial Divine Beings.
If it weren’t for Luo Bingxin’s ancestor painstakingly negotiating among the Divine Beings, the Four Great Corpse Kings would have been long gone.
This very reason gave Luo Bingxin the confidence to seek them in the Netherworld.
"Let’s not waste words; let this girl explain her purpose here. We owe much to her ancestor’s kindness for allowing us to endure peacefully here for thousands of years. If we can repay this kindness, we might regain freedom."
"After residing here for thousands of years, I’ve long had enough. Let’s go on, girl, tell us what you’re seeking from us four. As long as it’s within our capability, we shall grant it."
The strong presence from behind came forward, revealing its appearance.
It was a zombie clad in decayed official robes, its patterns long obscured, with visible scars of time on its body.
Compared to the other three Corpse Kings, this Jiang Chen, or rather Xuan Kui, was noticeably more impatient.
"Ha, what’s your rush? The girl will naturally speak up if there’s something to say, no need for your chatter."
The Drought Demon stepped forward, dispelling the cold aura surrounding Luo Bingxin smoothly.
"Young lady, what’s your name? Tell us carefully, along with your purpose here. With our strength, we might be able to assist you somewhat."
This venture was much smoother than Luo Bingxin anticipated.
She truly didn’t expect the ancestral legacy to still be this effective.
Thus, Luo Bingxin began to explain the purpose of her visit.
Of course, before detailing her goal, she briefed the Four Great Corpse Kings on the current situation of the Three Realms and Six Paths.
The Heaven-piercing Mantra Lin Yi once performed naturally reached the ears of the Four Great Corpse Kings.
They were aware there were troubles within the Three Realms and Six Paths ruled by All Celestial Divine Beings, but they did not expect the trouble to be so immense.
