Since his retreat was cut off, Ling Chen could only advance. Since Ling Chen had walked in, he naturally wouldn't retreat anyways.

Ling Chen looked at the closed stone door before turning around, his expression incredibly calm. He then walked towards the Underworld Fire again.

The 'Fire' in the name 'Fire Purgatory' was evidently referring to this Underworld Fire. However, it was not real fire - how could such an important place like the Underworld Blood Lake possess an element that the Undead were so fearful of?

The Fire Purgatory was deathly silent, and Ling Chen's footsteps were incredibly loud and clear. After taking tens of steps, Ling Chen suddenly stopped. He looked through the moving Underworld Fire and saw a large door at the end. The door was jet-black, and it was particularly striking in this world of grey. In front of the door stood a tall and powerful-looking figure. The person stood as still as a statue and wore azure-coloured clothing. He also held a large, jet-black sword that seemed to be buried deep into the ground. Ling Chen's footsteps echoed around the entire space, yet this person did not react at all. His eyes were closed, and it was as if he was a corpse.

When Ling Chen was about 10 steps away, he stopped and silently looked at the still figure. He looked like a grand figure, and he was dressed simply. He had a stiff and ordinary-looking face that people would forget easily… but as he stood there completely still, Ling Chen felt as if he was looking at a gigantic mountain, blocking off his path. Ling Chen did not make any sounds as he gripped his weapons.

It was as if the person had finally detected that an outsider was here, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dim, emotionless eyes. The instant he opened his eyes, his aura, which seemed as boundless as an ocean, erupted out, causing the surrounding air to congeal. Even the Underworld Fire stopped moving, becoming still. The instant he looked at Ling Chen, Ling Chen felt as if there was a heavy mountain weighing on him, and his entire body, including his internal organs, felt incredibly heavy, breathing becoming almost impossible.

Waves of shock rolled across Ling Chen's heart… was this the person that Xiao Hui had been so afraid of? Just who was this person? How could he have such terrifying strength? Let alone the 3 Underworld Gods that he had met before, even the monstrously powerful War Demon Beast and Shadow Demon Beast couldn't compare to this person! Even the East Ocean Continent's Moon God Representative, Snow Cherry, hadn't made him feel such pressure.

This meant that this person was stronger than the War Demon Beast, Shadow Demon Beast, and even a Moon God Representative!

Could this terrifying person be the Underworld King?!

No, that wasn't right! Why would the Underworld King personally stand guard here? However, since this person was even more powerful than the 8 Underworld Gods, why would he stand guard here in perpetuity? 

It wasn't just that this person's aura was overwhelmingly powerful. Before, the Undead Warrior had told Ling Chen that apart from the Underworld King himself, no one had entered the Underworld Blood Lake by themselves. Let alone enter, they couldn't even get through the entrance. In other words, at least in the past thousand years, no one had successfully come to the Fire Purgatory before. And yet, the person standing guard here didn't seem shocked or wary at all - he remained as calm and still as a boulder, and he had not moved all this time, nor had his expression even flickered… this person's mental state was strong to an unimaginable degree. It was as if there was nothing in this world that could move him.

"If I die, you pass. Otherwise, you die."

The man in azure finally spoke. There was no emotion in his voice, and although he spoke, his body did not move at all, his gigantic black sword remaining motionless in his hand… it was as if he was telling Ling Chen: you don't have the right for me to take the initiative to attack you.

"Are you a human or an Undead?" Ling Chen tightened his grip on his weapons as he asked. Beside him, Xiao Hui's body was arched, looking incredibly tense.

"Undead, while you are a living creature," The man in azure calmly replied. When he spoke, Ling Chen almost couldn't see his lips move, and his voice was so calm that it was like a dead person was speaking… because it was impossible for a living person to speak without even a trace of emotion in their voice.

Ling Chen's heart trembled as he frowned and asked, "How did you know?!"

"It doesn't matter if you're a living creature or Undead. You either kill me, or you will be killed by me. No need to speak anymore. Come."

This was the third time that the Undead spoke, and it still contained no emotion at all. From his exchange with this person, he felt a sense of familiarity - he had never heard such an emotionless voice before, so why did he feel like he had heard it in the past before?

It was definitely a misperception!

The man in azure did not reply to him, and Ling Chen did not speak anymore. The gigantic pressure weighing down on Ling Chen's body felt like a ten-thousand-kilogram rock. However, he straightened his body and his gaze became colder and colder without a trace of fear in them. However, his heart beat madly… if he could kill this terrifying Undead, he would be able to pass through the Fire Purgatory.

However, could he really kill this Undead who was stronger than the 10 ancient demon beasts and the Moon God Representatives?

As Xiao Hui's Eye of the Holy Spirit activated, the man in azure's information was sent to Ling Chen's mind:

Chi Xuan Wu Hen: Type: Undead, Grade: High-Tier Mysterious God, Level: 96, Profession: Undead War God, HP: 3,200,000,000. A descendant of the Forgotten Continent's Chi Xuan family while he was still alive, and he fell in love with martial arts. He became the strongest being in the world, and he went through countless battles and life and death experiences.

He is a legend who no one has ever been able to come close to. The Underworld King obtained his corpse a thousand years ago and brought it to the Underworld, using the undying Underworld Fire to bring out all of his power from when he was still alive, becoming an extreme Undead that is second only to the Underworld King.
