The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

12. To the Netherworld

Though it had only been two hours in the Desire Sea, two days had already passed in the outside world.

Fire Phoenix, King of the Underworld finally knew about where that golden soul had come from after she had got the message from the Lord of the Transmigration Palace.

Once a wandering soul was related to the Way of Heaven, everything would be different, let alone that the golden soul possessed boundless merits. If some creatures which were up to no good knew about that, the soul would be swallowed and refined. That was something that the King of the Underworld was not able to bear.

Therefore, she should find the place where Three Lives Stone had taken the golden soul to as soon as possible.

Three Lives Stone had some mysterious connection with the supreme King of the Netherworld.

According to the record, Three Lives Stone was as old as King of the Netherworld. It contained endless and mysterious power and was able to detect the past and future lives of humans, gods, and demons. The resource of its power was as unfathomable as King of the Netherworld himself.

Until now, no one had ever dared to explore the secret of Three Lives Stone, in case the King of the Netherworld would be irritated.

This time, Fire Phoenix finally decided to report the incident related to the golden soul after pondering for two days, because she found the matter was quite serious.

The Netherworld was situated at the top of the juncture of the Underworld and the Ghost world, enveloped in the cloud and the mist all year-round. No one knew the way in and way out except for the Lord of the Transmigration Palace, the King of the Underworld, the King of the Ghost World, and the other nether officials who were of high status.

However, the Lord of the Transmigration Palace and the two kings had more authority than the other nether officials who were of high status.

No matter how superior or outstanding a nether official was, he or she still needed to follow the rules which were set by the King of the Netherworld. They needed to enter the Netherworld after being permitted. Otherwise, they were still forbidden to enter.

On the other hand, Lord of the Transmigration Palace and the two kings could teleport themselves to the Netherworld right away and come and go freely with the token which had been granted by King of the Netherworld. Because they were all trusted subordinates of King of the Netherworld, the three lords possessed higher status than others. Even those arrogant nether officials had to give precedence to them.

There was a strong fluctuation in the air. After that, rolling mountains of hot waves overwhelmed the whole space.

The passers-by all thought of Fire Phoenix, King of the Netherworld. Then, they looked at each other blankly, being at a loss.

King of the Underworld only stepped into the Netherworld once in ten years. But it had only been one year since the last time she had entered the Netherworld. Why did Fire Phoenix show up in the Netherworld? Was something big happening here?

Before everyone could make an exact assumption, Fire Phoenix had already teleported herself to the periphery of the Rest Night City.

Rest Night City was located in the highest place of the Netherworld. It was the beginning of all the prosperity.

The nobles in the Netherworld, also known as the nether officials, were proud of the city's magnificence and grandeur.

There was not one city in the Three Worlds which was more solemn and extensive than the Rest Night City. As the symbol of the Netherworld, this city represented the strongest power and was a supreme existence that nothing could replace!

After Fire Phoenix arrived outside of the Rest Night City, she couldn't use her teleport skills anymore. Otherwise, she would be accused of disrespecting the King of the Netherworld. That was common sense in the Netherworld, and even in the Three Worlds.

However, since the Rest Night City was too vast, it was impossible for people to arrive at their destination on foot.

Thus, there were two kinds of rides instead of walk in the Rest Night City.

The first one was Transmission Ritual. Anyone could go to their destination through the Transmission Ritual next to the city's gate. However, the range of the transmission was limited.

The second one was the Demon Beast. It was not rare to see demon beasts in the Three Worlds. The beasts of the speed type were almost all trained to become men's rides. Only the minority of the beasts of great power could be trained to fight.

In fact, there was also a secret of the Demon Beast.

Fire Phoenix chose the Transmission Ritual directly. The person who guarded the ritual knew about her identity. So he checked the token quickly and opened the ritual right away.

Suddenly, white light began to flash up. With a slight fluctuation in the space, Fire Phoenix showed up in front of the Heaven Peak Tower which was thousands of miles away from the city gate in the next second. Then she saw a magnificent palace which was floating in the air. That was the residence of King of the Netherworld.

Having taken a token out, Fire Phoenix put it in front of her. Ripples started to show up on the water surface, just like a thin film of water. As the token gave out strong white light, a portal was opened slowly on the water film.

The moment Fire Phoenix stepped into the water film, the portal was closed instantly and the token went back to her hand.

As she was about to head to the gate of the palace, a white figure walked out from the side and stopped her as if her arrival were already predicted.

"Your Majesty Phoenix, King of the Netherworld knew that you would come. He has sent me here to greet you. Please follow me!"
