Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills Chapter 223 – One Year Later

Chapter 223: Chapter 3 One Year Later

Since ancient times, the Central State Continent has been the center of the world’s flowing qi for the human race.

The Northern State is a distance away from Central State, separated by a wasteland of yellow sand. The landscape is peculiar, with dense primordial jungles populated by many strange creatures and devil creatures.

The Northern State is unlike the Bewitched Demon Sect in the Western State, as it is a territory occupied by numerous demons and monsters.

The demons and monsters are generally divided into three categories: demonic creatures, ghosts and monsters, and devil creatures.

Eight hundred years ago, this place was the battleground of a massive war between the Immortal and Devil. Countless cultivators perished here, leaving corpses scattered across the fields. Now, the Northern State continues to be a dwelling place for devil creatures, with the territories occupied by the Northern Wolf Empire being only a small part of it.

Devil creatures are similar to ghosts, some are formed after human death, whereas others are naturally formed, born from an unknown netherworld.

The people of Northern Wolf have always suffered from the invasion of devil creatures, which tend to break out every few years.

This is why the Northern Wolf Empire has always been eying southern expansion.

Central State has the protection of the Immortal Sect, while the Northern State has nothing, and the strength of its cultivators is also much inferior to that of the sects in Central State.

Within the boundaries of the Northern State, half of the landscape consists of towering sturdy city walls, and the other half is the pitch-black primal jungle, sparsely populated and appearing very dangerous. Only cultivators are qualified to explore it.

At the border where the two regions meet, a glistening yellow river flows. At the end of the river, the water accumulates into a placid expanse that appears like a lakeside.

This river is known as the “Netherworld”.

Legend has it that the Netherworld originated from the eighteenth layer of hell, transformed into a river, and gave birth to a myriad of demons and monsters, leading to an ever-increasing number of these creatures in this area.

At this moment, bubbles are rising from the surface of the river, and a pale hand stretches out from the water.

Then a whole body follows, and with a “splash,” a shadow quickly emerges.

A man, stark naked, stands suspended in mid-air.

Suddenly, a wind rises filled with demonic energy, stirring up all the leaves in the surrounding jungle. The purple demonic qi gathers into a shiny purple robe and covers his body.

The man has a stalwart figure and appears quite young, handsome, and debonair. He exudes a powerful aura, but his eyes express an inexplicable depth and vicissitude that contradicts his apparent age.

The young man slowly lands with an angry expression on his face and says in a low voice:

“Damn you Limitless Immortal Sect, wait for me. Sooner or later, I will eradicate your lineage. Limitless Immortal Sect Hierarch, so what if your cultivation is high? My life’s limit has already come, isn’t yours the same? I am eager to see who falls first you or me, Chu Youming.”

The identity of the young man is none other than The old fiend of Netherworld, whose flesh body was annihilated in a single blow by the Sect Hierarch of the Limitless Immortal Sect.

His flesh body died, but his Rebirth Realm and the soul remained intact. Thanks to Non-Phase Demon Skill, he has multiple substitutes. If not all his substitutes are found, he can’t die.

Ever since he was suppressed by the Hierarch of the Limitless Immortal Sect, his substitute body has awakened.

However, it takes quite some time to adapt to a new flesh body, which is when his strength is at its weakest.

He has been in hiding until the moment his power recovers.

People would never expect that The old fiend of Netherworld would place his substitute in netherworld land, the most dangerous place in the Northern

State.

This is one of his few places of refuge.

After he seized the body of the beloved disciple of an Immortal Sect ancestor, he escaped from the relentless pursuit of the five great ancestors by hiding here.

“This body was originally of heavenly spiritual root, I forgot how many hundreds of years ago I took it. The body has been gnawed by corpse-eating insects.”

The old fiend of Netherworld glanced at the gnaw marks on his arm, shook his head, and chose not to dwell on it.

“Oh well, I will just have to make do with it. When the time comes, I’ll just change it again. Zhao Huai, your body is as good as mine!”

The face of Zhao Huai surfaced in his mind, spurring a surge of resentment.

He had been lying low for thousands of years, rarely failing. Zhao Huai was among the few who managed to best him.

He even had a substitute!

He managed to escape due to a moment of negligence on his part – an absolute humiliation!

The old fiend of Netherworld became angrier the more he thought about it.

At this moment, noises came from the jungle.

Green fire flickered in the eyes of a troop, trembling in the darkness.

Soon, a pale skeleton head emerged. Its body was made of bone, and spiky bone protrusions overrun its arms.

This was actually a moving skeleton!

Moreover, there were not only one or two of them, but nearly a hundred.

Large quantities of green fire flickered in the forest.

“These nuisances again.” The old fiend of Netherworld snorted coldly, seemingly accustomed to this, and didn’t take these skeletons seriously.

With a wave of his big hand, a gust of demonic wind swept all before it.

The hundred or so skeletons shattered immediately and their bones scattered all over the ground.

But it wasn’t over. A pair of red fire eyes appeared, much stronger than the previous ones. It was enveloped in darkness, with a towering figure that reached ten meters high.

At the same time, a large amount of evil qi gathered from all directions.

“Ding ding!”

The clear ringing of bells echoed throughout the pitch-black forest.

“They’ve come again, these ghosts and monster are really bothersome.” The old fiend of Netherworld grumbled.

Skeleton giants, ghost sedan hanging in the air and darting shadows one after another appeared within view.

“Ghost King?”

Upon sight of the ghost sedan, even the old fiend of Netherworld had to become serious.

Ghosts can be divided into five categories: Little Ghost, Fierce Ghost in Red Clothes, Green-faced Evil Ghosts, Purple-bodied Cruel Ghosts, and Black-eyed Ghost King.

They correspond to the six realms of the cultivators.

This Ghost King is comparable to the Metamorphosis Realm.

If his strength hadn’t been damaged, the old fiend of Netherworld wouldn’t have been afraid. He could suppress it easily.

But after seizing the body, his power only recovered half of what it was before.

He could fight, but it wasn’t necessary.

“Never mind, it’s time to leave this place,” he concluded..
