Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437 Lord of Death [4 updates]

Hell has existed for so long, almost during the same period as the divine heavens.

During such an extensive era, too many powerful beings have been born and as many have fallen.

The eighteen Sovereigns of Hell have risen and fallen, with some being replaced.

“Is this the Primal Divine Artifact forged by the Sovereign of the River of Forgetfulness, the River of Forgetfulness?”

Chu Yuan’s gaze froze instantaneously, speculating, “This River of Forgetfulness seems to have the power to cleanse soul impurities, erase memories, destroy souls, and cause eternal damnation. Its power is immense. Jiuyou, it’s indeed a rare fortune for you to obtain it.”

“I haven’t completely understood the utility of the River of Forgetfulness.”

Jiuyou nodded, “When I arrived at the Hell Ocean, it seemed I received the assistance of a mysterious power to obtain it.”

“Mysterious power?” Chu Yuan pondered slightly, “Alright, let’s not worry about these things for now. There are many pursuing you outside. Return to the Divine Dynasty first; I have an ancient presence in the Divine Dynasty who can help you fathom its power.”

He understood as well.

This is Jiuyou’s great opportunity, a relic of a Sovereign of Hell, whose value is second only to the treasure of the Sovereign of the Heavens.

“Alright.”

Jiuyou also understood the great danger of her situation.

“Leaving won’t be so easy, there are already many powerful beings outside waiting for you to willingly leave.”

At that moment, an ancient voice suddenly reverberated from the depths of Despair Sea and rang in their ears.

“Who!”

Chu Yuan’s divine eyes pierced through.

His eyes blossomed with endless light in the darkness, searching for the source of the voice. He could clearly sense that the speaker’s cultivation was extremely powerful, definitely not of a Heavenly Dao deity, but a Primordial deity.

In such a dangerous place as the eye of the Despair Sea, a voice suddenly sounded, revealing great peculiarities.

He immediately saw a boundless black primordial energy surging, as if someone was seated, and consciousness touched him, as if he had died.

“Primordial deity,” Chu Yuan thought to himself.

“No need to be tense, I can’t harm you, nor would I,”

The voice calmly stated, “But you are quite impressive, even as a Heavenly Dao deity, to be able to see through layers of restrictions to view my true form.”

“You flatter me,” Chu Yuan replied indifferently.

He had faintly speculated some.

Chu Yuan’s indifferent response made this ancient presence somewhat curious, he said, “Aren’t you curious about my identity?”

“If you want to tell me, you will even if I don’t ask, and if you don’t want to, what’s the point of asking?” Chu Yuan said.

“Interesting,” the presence laughed, “If I told you my name, you surely wouldn’t know, but if I said my title, perhaps you’d know some. The world calls me the Lord of Death.”

“Lord of Death?”

Chu Yuan’s brows slightly furrowed. His immense memory bank operated, “I’ve vaguely heard of the title Lord of Death, wielding the power of death, power that reaches the heavens, but too distant from the present age, having not appeared for a long time.”

“Indeed, very distant, I myself don’t know how many billions of years I’ve been within the Hell Heavens,” the Lord of Death sighed.

“A formidable seal, Lord of Death, you are sealed within the Hell Ocean, unable to leave.”

Chu Yuan, with mastery over the Door of Sealing, naturally recognized that the Lord of Death was sealed.

“Perceptive.”

The Lord of Death seemed weary of the long ages of being sealed, saying, “You see correctly, I am sealed by the most powerful Sovereign of Hell, Ming, using the power of the Death Sea, confining and sealing me here.”

“The most powerful Sovereign, Ming!”

Chu Yuan knew that Ming was a being who could contend with individuals like the Creator of the Divine Realm.

He curiously asked, “Oh? Why did Ming seal you?”

“Because I wanted to become the ruler of the Hell Heavens, defeated by Ming, and sealed here. He initially promised me to be the second Sovereign of Hell, but I wasn’t interested,”

The Lord of Death calmly said, “Ming promised me that if one day I come to understand and desire to become the second Sovereign of Hell, he would lift the seal and release me.”

The second Sovereign, a power second only to Ming.

And although the Lord of Death was sealed by Ming, he dared challenge Ming and couldn’t be entirely erased, only sealed, which shows his formidable nature.

“Is Ming within the Hell Heavens?” Chu Yuan asked.

“Ming left the Hell Heavens long ago, pursuing eternity, still in the multiverse, but in an extremely mysterious plane; I’m undying and immortal, even Ming cannot kill me.”

The Lord of Death laughed, “I’m just too lonely for too long, which is why I’ve spoken so much now.”

“Pursuing eternity, the eternal path.”

Chu Yuan murmured to himself, then said, “If I’m not mistaken, the River of Forgetfulness was stirred up by you.”

“You speak very correctly. Back then, the Sovereign of the River of Forgetfulness pursued eternity and fell, and her River of Forgetfulness fell into the Hell Ocean, rotating with the eye of the sea suppressing me. She also had a hell-like power; I deliberately revealed the power of the River of Forgetfulness. It did not disappoint as she truly obtained it,”

The Lord of Death stated calmly.

He, being sealed, didn’t need such things. Many divine objects are in the Hell Ocean; sometimes, when encountering a pleasing one, he releases them as entertainment for the endless years.

Evidently, Jiuyou was pleasing in his eyes.

A being like him, sealed for too long, and too powerful, acts without reason.

“The River of Forgetfulness makes no distinction between good and evil; it can erase souls or nourish and strengthen them.”

The Lord of Death calmly said, “Many beings have fallen on the eternal path. Obtaining this River of Forgetfulness allows one to become the Sect Master of the Sky Sect of Forgetfulness and refine and control the power of Forgetfulness, more easily becoming a Primordial deity, even a Sovereign of Hell.”

“Sovereign of Hell!”

Upon hearing this, Jiuyou’s eyes flashed with a strange light.

She also had a heart pursuing greatness, wanting to stand at the pinnacle of the multiverse.

“To become a Sovereign of Hell, one must first defeat a Sovereign and take their place. Lord of Death, though I don’t know your purpose, I also know that thinking to become a Sovereign of Hell just by obtaining the River of Forgetfulness is mere wishful thinking.”

Chu Yuan remained very calm.

The words of the Lord of Death could only be trusted seven parts true, and three parts false.

Those three parts of falsehood might be the most lethal.

“I’ve seen many people in the countless years I’ve been suppressed within Hell; very few are as calm as you, with a unique aura about you, indescribable.”

Suddenly, a strong pressure from the Lord of Death came down on Chu Yuan, oppression from a top-notch Primordial deity.

But what slightly surprised the Lord of Death was that, facing his soul oppression, Chu Yuan remained calm, unmoving like a mountain, his expression still serene, seemingly unaffected.

His pressure, although due to the seal, wasn’t exerting the true mana.

But with his power, the oppression of soul death, no one could remain as calm as Chu Yuan.

A powerful force began operating, the aura of death began to revive, seemingly creating a doorway of death, covering from the sky, forming a sealing prohibition on him.

“Hmm?” Chu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly.

“Many hell powerhouses outside have already set their sights on you. If you can’t even break the prohibition I set, you won’t be able to protect the River of Forgetfulness outside, so you’d better stay here obediently.”
