Nine Nether Attains the Dao-Surprise or Not?

"You should familiarize yourself with the formation diagram, and let the four of them rest for a while."

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor spoke to Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa glanced at the four disciples, including Sect Master Yan, and noticed their low Spiritual Qi. He knew that even if he controlled the array, he would need their cooperation to inflict maximum damage on Lu Mo.

The five hid behind the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, avoiding the attack of the Buddhist light, and seized the time to familiarize themselves with the use of the array diagram and restore their spiritual power.

Now that the package has been delivered, there's nothing more he can do to help with anything else.

For such a high-level game, only the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor can handle it.

He only had one chance.

The chanting of Buddhist prayers from the Western Continent resounded throughout the Yin Mountain, seemingly aiming to create a Buddhist paradise.

The Book of Life and Death and Death is surrounded by a dazzling, radiant light.

Lu Mo's confidence shone even brighter. He clasped his hands together, and two golden flames seemed to burn in his eyes.

Even with his cunning and shrewdness, he couldn't hide his excitement and joy.

Nishang Yuanjun and Xuanding True Immortal stood together, avoiding the Buddha's light, and discussed their plan via telepathy:

"Just watch him attain the Grand Luo?"

Nishang Yuanjun spoke urgently.

Xuanding True Immortal glanced at her, saying nothing, but the meaning in his eyes was clear—otherwise what?

"If Lu Mo attains enlightenment, my Jade Pool will be in deep trouble. Supreme Dao, will have to submit to his orders."

Nishang Yuanjun was very agitated.

Compared to the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, they were naturally on Lu Mo's side.

But... Lu Mo is going to prove himself as the Grand Luo.

When the Grand Luo appears, the Heavenly Dao is established, and in the future, all the heavens and myriad realms will regard Thunderclap Temple as the most revered.

The Supreme Dao is the lineage of the Dao Venerable, and with the Grand Unity Golden Immortal behind it, it is not in danger of collapse.

But Jade Pool was different.

Moreover, she was on the opposite side of Thunderclap Temple.

Seeing the smug look on Lu Mo's face, she felt that disaster was about to befall her.

Seeing her genuine panic, Xuanding True Immortal spoke up, "Lu Mo has lived three lifetimes through countless eons. If he didn't have great ambitions, he would have long ago achieved the Grand Unity. Whether such a person attains enlightenment or not, how can we possibly stop him?"

The Nishang Yuanjun listened in silence, then said again, "So we can only sit and watch?"

Xuanding nodded slightly.

"It's a pity that all our plans have been in vain." After pondering for a long time, Nishang Yuanjun sighed, "My Jade Pool, the Nine Mountains Zheng Fa, and your Supreme Dao will likely face difficulties in the future."

Upon hearing this, Xuanding True Immortal's tone was somewhat helpless:

"It's too late. Zheng Fa may be talented, but it's too late. He still has the Fusang Wood... He may face great calamity in the future."

Seeing Xuanding like this, Nishang Yuanjun felt as if a huge hole had been torn open in her chest. All her spirit vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only the words "resign to fate."

"Nine Nether Benefactor, why do you not convert?"

Finally, Lu Mo's refining process reached its final stage.

The Book of Life and Death had turned almost pure gold; in the Underworld, the Buddha's light shone brightly, and the air was filled with the fragrance of sandalwood.

Lu Mo stood up, took a step to the top of Yin Mountain, stretched out his palm and pressed it towards the top of the head of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, while chanting scriptures.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor seemed oblivious, appearing completely surrendered.

Nishang Yuanjun and the others held their breath, waiting for the appearance of the first Great Grand Luo Xuanwei the beginning of time.

Under the radiant light of Buddha, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor finally opened his eyes and stared at Lu Mo.

"Convert?" The Devil Ancestor gently, but spoke scathingly. "You petty, despicable creatures, not even worthy of being called a disciple of my Tianhe. Do you think you deserve my conversion in the Nine Nether?"

Having said that, his body shone with a mysterious light, merging with the Book of Life and Death, and he actually crashed straight into Lu Mo's palm.

A blinding light burst forth.

Nishang Yuanjun involuntarily raised her hand to cover her eyes.

When the light faded, Yin Mountain, the Wrongful Death City, and even the ghosts of the Underworld all vanished.

Before them lay only a vast emptiness.

Lu Mo stood in the very center of the void, his face filled with anger, as if Dharma Aspect.

"The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor committed suicide?" Nishang Yuanjun was stunned for a long while before quietly transmitting her voice to Xuanding, "This... was he inherently so fierce?"

Xuanding True Immortal glanced at the void, then lowered his eyes and remained silent.

It's hard to say what Nishang Yuanjun was feeling:

The suicide of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor was the best outcome for the Supreme Dao and Jade Pool.

The greatest threat, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, is gone.

Lu Mo didn't even have a certificate before becoming Grand Luo.

The aftershocks of the Tianhe Upheaval have finally subsided today.

In the Previous Epoch, the Tianhe Sect, which once suppressed Xuanwei with ten thousand swords, also returned to dust.

Just like the True Immortal Xuanding, she felt inexplicably ashamed of herself and even couldn't bear to look at him anymore.

In the Nine Mountains Realm, on the military academy's training ground, Yan Wushuang watched the Comprehensive Mirror Tongjian, his fists clenched tightly.

"Teacher Yan?"

A disciple from the Nine Mountains Military Academy standing nearby asked.

"It's nothing. Which move were I talking about just now?"

"Sword Qi Rainbow."

"Sword Qi Rainbow..." Yan Wushuang fell silent, then suddenly said, "This technique was taught to me by my father."

In the training ground, the disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.

"He only knows how to scold people, he can't teach disciples, he's no good at being a teacher. Don't worry, I'll definitely teach better than him..."

"However, if you're willing, you should call him 'Grandmaster'..."

Yan Wushuang forced a smile, but felt a lump in her throat and didn't even know what she was saying.

"Teacher Yan..."

"Um?"

"Is your father, our grandmaster, this the one?"

Yan Wushuang suddenly looked down and then back at the live stream screen.

The figure of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor reappeared in the void.

Behind him, besides Sect Master Yan, were countless other figures and faces.

"Nine Nether!"

Lian Lu Mo flew backward, his face wary.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor didn't even glance at him, seemingly no longer taking Lu Mo seriously, and slowly opened his arms.

The Book of Life and Death floated before him, Reincarnation Disc spun behind him; the three were connected in a line, forming a unified whole.

His face showed neither joy nor sorrow, and his eyes were slightly closed.

In the endless void, past and future, his vow echoed:

"Now the Nine Nether Self-Slaying and open the Underworld, the Tianhe sacrifices itself to forge Reincarnation!"

One can cross the Bridge of Helplessness to sever all attachments;

The Three Lives Stone illuminates cause and effect;

The Reincarnation Disc, and the soul finds its home.

May Heavenly Dao be clear, and may good and evil be rewarded accordingly!

His tone was not loud, but his voice resounded throughout the Xuanwei, piercing through the Heaven-and-Earth Fetal Membrane, and shaking all the heavens and myriad worlds.

All beings in the myriad realms, whether or not they are in the Xuanwei, can see the figure of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor standing in the Chaos simply by looking up at this moment.

Various talismans flew out from the Chaos, like thousands of brightly colored birds and thousands of fish with colorful scales, frolicking and circling around the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, the Book of Life and Death, and the Reincarnation Disc.

These talismans gathered more and more, spinning faster and faster, until they finally collided and solidified into a crown, a robe, and a pair of shoes.

The crown has twelve pearl tassels, the robe is black with twelve golden symbols embroidered on it, and the shoes are decorated with the runes of the Reincarnation Disc.

These three treasures, as if possessing sentience, flickered and disappeared from the void, instantly adorning the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor.

The aura emanating from this Devil Ancestor was even more majestic and imposing, almost overwhelming all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Grand Unity..."

Lu Mo's voice was low, as if he was trying to suppress his surprise and anger, but he couldn't help but tremble. Finally, he managed to utter a sentence through gritted teeth. "You actually attained Grand Unity!"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor ignored him, holding the Reincarnation Disc and the Book of Life and Death in his palm.

"When I attain the Grand Unity, all sentient beings will be recorded in the Book of Life and Death."

He then threw the Book of Life and Death into the Chaos.

From the depths of the pitch-black Chaos, a thunderous sound of the Great Dao resounded.

Lu Mo's expression changed drastically, as if he had encountered a catastrophe. "What are you doing?"

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor looked at him and chuckled softly.

The several Dao Fruit of the Nishang Yuanjun felt their Divine Soul were in a daze, as if a giant mountain was pressing down on their hearts. They were inexplicably terrified and helpless, as if a great calamity was about to befall them.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor raised his head and looked towards the heavens.

Everyone followed his gaze.

Even though it was broad daylight, dozens of stars shone brightly, their light even more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

They glowed and flickered in the sky, growing brighter and brighter at the center, before finally exploding violently.

Amidst the explosion, streaks of light shot out, flying towards the Xuanwei Realm, forming an unprecedentedly grand meteor shower that covered the entire Xuanwei.

Few people know that what fell was not just the stars, but also the once high and mighty Golden Immortal.

Only at this moment did the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor speak:

"When I attained Grand Unity, the deceased entered the netherworld, and even those Dao Fruit died."

A faint, almost imperceptible sobbing sound came from the Nine Heavens.

Within the Underworld, several Dao Fruit, including the Nishang Yuanjun, felt an inexplicable surge of immense sorrow, and tears streamed down their faces.

"That is..." Patriarch Xuanding looked up at the sky, "Golden Immortal? Those Golden Immortal Way Fruits are dissipating?"

He became more talkative.

But Nishang Yuanjun had nothing to say.

She looked at the figure of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, feeling both anger and even greater fear.

Everyone can understand that after the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor attained enlightenment, the fate of Daoguo and the pattern of the world were completely changed at this moment.

Lu Mo's face turned even more ashen, and he roared, "You actually ruined my Tribulation-Transference Method!"

Nishang Yuanjun was startled and realized that the Tribulation-Transference Method and the Dao Fruit of Immortality were closely related.

Now that the Nine Nether attained enlightenment, the ones who suffer the most, besides the Golden Immortal who have vanished, are truly Lu Mo.

Just think, Lu Mo was all set to become Grand Luo Immortal before, but now even his Tribulation-Transference Method is having problems.

For some reason, her tears inexplicably stopped.

The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor's path to enlightenment continues.

"When I attained the Grand Unity, good and evil were rewarded accordingly; Heaven's will cannot be deceived."

The Reincarnation Disc grew larger and larger behind him, eventually covering the entire Xuanwei Heaven.

Various runes appeared and disappeared in the disc, dazzling the eye.

A vortex of Spiritual Qi appeared in the hollow center.

A message inexplicably appeared in the hearts of all living beings—this is the place where all beings are reborn Reincarnation.

As the Reincarnation Disc expands...

The Underworld, Yin Mountain, and the Wrongful Death City reappeared before everyone.

Everything seems to have changed.

The Yin Mountain remained dark and gloomy, devoid of sunlight, yet strangely tranquil and peaceful.

In the Wrongful Death City, there were no more cries of ghosts; instead, many spirits strolled and talked among themselves, living in peace and contentment.

The area of Underworld is more than a hundred times larger than before.

In all the heavens and myriad realms, the souls of the newly deceased, lingering in the mortal world and refusing to dissipate, even committing evil deeds in various places, seem to have been summoned, and the spirits of the dead are rushing toward the Underworld.

"May your spirit return to Yin Mountain, may your soul cross the Naihe River, may you transcend death and be reborn, may you enjoy eternal peace and tranquility, and pay homage to the Nine Nether Emperor!"

Throughout the myriad realms, regardless of race or whether they were Human Race or Human Race, cultivator or non-cultivator, everyone felt a sense of déjà vu, understood the true name of the Nine Nether Emperor, and bowed down to the Underworld.

Even the disciples of the Four Sects in the Underworld bowed in respect.

In the Unseen, these people all understood the benefits that the Underworld had given them:

For Dao Fruit, the Underworld would mean their complete demise.

But for ordinary people, and even cultivators, the Underworld allows them to Reincarnation —although it's hard to say they'll be the same person after Reincarnation, it's still much better than their previous state of having no place to belong, or even having their soul scattered.

The place of Reincarnation is of great Merit to all living beings in the world!

Even though the cultivators from the Four Sects were enemies of the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, they were all sincere in their respects and Nine Nether Devil Ancestor to him.

"Is this your Tianhe Sect's revenge on the Four Sects Dao Fruit?"

Lu Mo's words startled Nishang Yuanjun at first, then sent a chill down her spine.

Yes, is there any deeper revenge than this?

Immortality is the greatest source of confidence for Dao Fruit.

The Four Sects Dao Fruit plotted against Venerable Tianhe because they were wary of the Celestial River Method.

An internal strife brought an end to the reign of Xuanwei, the former overlord.

However, the second-generation Sect Leader of the Tianhe Sect, the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, who had been hidden for hundreds of thousands of years, has now made all those who have attained Dao Fruit taste the fear of death.

Do you regret it?

Nishang Yuanjun didn't know who else was involved, but she felt a strange bitterness in her heart. She even wondered if the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor would have been so resolute if things hadn't turned out that way.

"Revenge?" The Nine Nether Devil Ancestor chuckled. "This is the ambition of the Tianhe. Who are you to deserve his revenge? My path to the Great Dao is none of your business."

Lu Mo gave the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor a deep look, then remained silent, instead gently tapping the Sarira Relic in front of him.

The light on the Sarira Relic gradually dimmed, and Lu Mo's Dharma Aspect also faded.

Without uttering a word, he withdrew.

Nishang Yuanjun glanced at Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, then at Lu Mo, her expression bitter.

Lu Mo can leave, but they can't!

This Lu Mo came here using Zhitong's Sarira Relic, not his true self, so he still had a way to escape.

only...

Why isn't the Nine Nether Emperor making a move?

Nishang Yuanjun asked Xuanding True Immortal, who was standing to the side.

Watching Lu Mo leave, the Nine Nether Emperor remained motionless, his face expressionless.

You have to understand, Lu Mo had been forcing him to refine it for quite some time before, how could the Emperor tolerate that?

"Once one attains the Dao of Grand Unity, one is bound by the Heavenly Dao... Unless one violates the Heavenly Dao, Grand Unity cannot interfere with its operation."

After thinking for a moment, Xuanding True Immortal shared his conjecture.

Nishang Yuanjun was convinced, after all, Dao Venerable was also Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and Xuanding naturally understood Grand Unity better than she did.

So, does this mean Lu Mo intends to leave the Underworld unscathed?

Lu Mo seemed to understand this rule as well. He looked at the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor with a wary expression, and his figure gradually dissipated.

Seeing that the Nine Nether Emperor made no move and was only coldly watching him, a look of relief appeared on his face, as if he thought he was about to escape danger.

Just as Lu Mo relaxed his guard, Nishang Yuanjun and the others were scratching their heads in frustration.

In the sky, the Immortal-Slayer Formation Diagram activated once more, and a sword light slashed down towards Lu Mo.

This sword strike came out of nowhere!

Lu Mo was on guard against the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, and for a moment he was caught off guard.

When he realized what was happening, he found that this sword strike was even more powerful than before, and it even faintly surpassed the power of True Immortal.

Caught off guard, and besides, his true form was merely that of True Immortal.

This sword strike actually cleaved Lu Mo Dharma Aspect in two!

"Who..."

Four lips stubbornly revealed the doubt of Lu Mo.

Beside the Nine Nether Devil Ancestor, a figure unfamiliar to most, yet unforgettable to a select few, appeared.

He was a young man, not particularly striking in appearance, but his eyes were sharp and piercing.

"Tianhe!"
