Chapter 151: The Underworld, the Bridge of Helplessness, an Illusion of True and False?

【You gave no response, only continuously sizing up your surroundings, trying to find some clue from within.】

【“A place protected by a formation, and it’s actually a Peach Blossom Spring?” You did not believe it. The Martial Dao Heavenly Eye opened, and all illusions dissolved before your eyes.】

【In your eyes, the originally clear river instantly turned blood-red!】

【The spiritual beasts, full of spirituality, became skeletons one after another.】

【The spiritual herbs that still contained spiritual qi also withered in an instant, emitting waves of the aura of death.】

【You saw that the breath the Demoness inhaled was not spiritual qi at all! Rather, it was filled with the stench of rotting corpses!】

【The world that had been like the Immortal Realm of the mortal world instantly became a hell!】

【“Senior, look, this one seems to be a thousand-year spiritual medicine!” The Demoness grabbed a handful of spiritual herbs and said to herself.】

【You saw the Demoness about to put the spiritual herb into her mouth, and hurriedly interrupted her. “Don’t eat it! It’s all an illusion!”】

【“Ah?” The Demoness was somewhat bewildered, because she could not see the truth at all.】

【“Enough nonsense, come with me!” A path appeared in your eyes, leading into the depths of hell!】

【Along the way, you saw all kinds of corpses reduced to white bones. The clothes on their bodies had long since turned to ash with the passage of time.】

【The deeper you went, the more you felt a chilling aura. A wicked thought appeared in your mind, interfering with your consciousness.】

【“A newcomer!”】

【“Keep him, keep him!”】

【“Finally, someone can talk to me!”】

【“He looks delicious. I really want a taste.”】

【You saw all kinds of skulls begin to open their mouths and speak. You turned to the Demoness and asked, “Did you hear any voices?”】

【“Voices? Was there any?” The Demoness looked confused.】

【You said no more and continued forward. The voices kept ringing in your mind, making you feel extremely furious.】

【Suddenly, for a single instant, you wanted to destroy everything here!】

【But soon, your firm will took effect, and you recovered.】

【Soon, you arrived at a great bridge. Beneath the bridge was a river formed from blood.】

【You lowered your head to look at the river. The originally calm river suddenly rippled. You saw faces on the surface of the river.】

【They all opened their mouths at you, as if saying something.】

【“Save me! Come save me!”】

【“I don’t want to die here. Come save me!”】

【“Why aren’t you leaving?” The Demoness glanced at you and asked, puzzled.】

【“Look at the river.” You said to the Demoness.】

【“I don’t see anything. Is there something wrong with this river?”】

【“Never mind.” You said no more, squatted down, picked up a stone, and threw it into the river with force.】

【With your Return-to-Void realm physical body strength, this stone, which should have been able to fly to the end of the bridge, fell directly to the bottom of the lake midway across and vanished.】

【“The center of the bridge is a no-fly zone?” You thought to yourself, then made up your mind to step onto the long bridge and continue forward.】

【You walked safely to the center of the bridge. The originally extremely sturdy bridge surface began to sway and tremble.】

【“What happened? Why does this bridge seem about to break apart!”】

【“Run!” You grabbed the Demoness, who was about to fly through the air, and sprinted forward.】

【On the bridge, your physical body strength was suppressed to a great extent, but your running speed was still extremely fast.】

【During the run, you once again saw the faces in the river. They once again made sounds.】

【“Come down, come down and accompany us!”】

【“We can’t live, and you won’t escape either!”】

【“Heh heh heh!”】

【As you were about to run off the bridge, the faces in the river began to grow anxious. Some faces even began to bite at you, but you dodged them all one by one.】

【Your speed was very fast. Before the bridge completely collapsed, you successfully brought the Demoness to the other side.】

【You turned back to look, and found that the bridge that had been swaying and trembling had now vanished, as if it had never appeared.】

【“Senior, look!” The Demoness pointed at a stone stele to the side and exclaimed.】

【“Bridge of Helplessness?!!” You saw the name of the bridge on the stone stele.】

【“On the Yellow Springs Road there are no passersby; on the Bridge of Helplessness, do not look back!”】

【“Are we… unable to go back???”】

【“Fuck, what kind of good person puts the bridge stele on the inside!” You cursed loudly. If you had known this was the Bridge of Helplessness, you would never have come now even if you were beaten to death. At the very least, you would have waited until your cultivation rose to a certain level before coming to investigate.】

【“What do we do now?” The Demoness was somewhat afraid and pressed tightly against your side.】

【“We’re already here. What can we do?”】

【“Go!” You held the resolve to die, and continued deeper.】

【The road back was already gone. You could only fight with your back to the river.】

【After walking several dozen more steps, you saw an old woman. The old woman held an ancient bowl in her hands.】

【“Could this be Meng Po?”】

【“That’s not right. I already crossed the Bridge of Helplessness, so why is Meng Po only appearing now?” Your mind was a little confused. Since you could not figure it out, you simply stopped thinking about it.】

【“Young man, here, drink this bowl of soup and forget all your troubles.” Passing by Meng Po, Meng Po raised her head and glanced at you, then handed you the bowl in her hands.】

【“Uh, Senior, this junior has no troubles, so I’ll skip drinking it.” You tentatively asked.】

【Unexpectedly, Meng Po nodded with great seriousness. “Then do not drink.”】

【Your face lit up with joy. You cupped your hands toward Meng Po. “Then thank you, Senior.”】

【“Your turn, little girl.” Meng Po turned and handed the bowl to the Demoness.】

【“This junior, this junior has no troubles either.” The Demoness copied your manner and refused.】

【A smile appeared on Meng Po’s face, then her figure vanished.】

【“Where did she go?”】

【“Vanishing right before my eyes. Just what kind of cultivation does this person have?”】

【“What do we do now?” The Demoness asked.】

【“Keep going. We have no road back anymore!”】

【Along the road ahead, you saw all kinds of Remnant Souls wandering, saw Ox-Head and Horse-Face, saw the oil cauldron, the mountain of knives and sea of fire…】

【Every scene you could think of from hell was presented before you one by one.】

【In this moment, you could not help but feel a hint of doubt. Were you really conscious?】

【You could not help but feel a trace of doubt about everything you had encountered along the way.】

【“In the Underworld, there should be twelve Judges, right?” You murmured to yourself.】

【Then, you saw the Hall of Yama!!!】

【“Why don’t I see the Great Emperor of Fengdu? He’s the boss of the Underworld, isn’t he?”】

【Soon, a vast aura spread out from the depths. This pressure directly pressed down on you until you could not breathe!】
