Sect Master, Save Me!

The First Layer the Heaven's Punishment Abyss.

Located in the heart of the land lies a perilous place called the 'Dark Deadlands,' a place forbidden to all Spirit Birth, even the Devil Creature of the abyss dare not enter. Within the Dark Deadlands dwell countless Undead Creature. A pale white skeleton might crawl out from anywhere beneath your feet.

One of them is the endless stream of Undead Creature.

Most importantly, within the Dark Deadlands, there dwells a supreme ruler known as the 'Skeleton King'. It is said that the Skeleton King was once one of the ninety-nine Grand Dukes of the First Layer. Eleven thousand years ago, the previous Lord of the Abyss went to the Thirty-Seventh Layer, Skeleton King, overpowering all others, became the new Lord of the Abyss, wielding Abyssal Authority.

With the Dark Deadlands as his lair, no one could ever challenge the Skeleton King's supreme position.

This day.

In the Dark Deadlands.

A skeleton radiating a mysterious light sat cross-legged deep underground.

A dark, deathly aura gathered all around, with countless will-o'-the-wisps flickering in all directions. The skeleton's body gleamed with a mysterious light, like jade. It exuded a profound aura, quite different from the countless undead skeletons in the Dark Deadlands.

In the eye socket.

Will-o'-the-wisps flickered.

Through continuous cultivation, the deathly aura on his body was constantly refined and subdued, becoming imperceptible.

Suddenly—

The will-o'-the-wisp in the skull's eyes flickered, and it looked up. A human-like expression of confusion appeared on its face, and without any apparent movement, it vanished from the depths of the earth. When it reappeared, it was already on the ground of a dark, deathly Dark Deadlands, shrouded in gloom and deathly aura.

Who are you?

The skeleton looked at the young man in the dark blue Daoist robe in front of it, its voice trembling. After examining the young man and sensing his aura, it did not make a move rashly.

"I never imagined that the mighty Skeleton King, the lord of the First Layer of the abyss, would be hiding in the Dark Deadlands, cultivating my Immortal Dao methods."

Luo Gu stood with his hands behind his back, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"They actually knew who I was."

The Skeleton King grew increasingly suspicious, but since the person before him was Immortal Dao cultivator, he was unwilling to act rashly and instead asked, "What is your relationship with Patriarch Guangyuan of Abyss-Suppressing Mountain?"

"Abyss-Suppressing Mountain?"

"Once I have obtained the Abyssal Authority from you, I will visit that fellow Guangyuan. For now—"

Luo Gu smiled and said loudly, "We've never met before."

"You want to usurp my position as Lord of the Abyss?"

The Skeleton King shook his head. "I can't give this to you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Gu shook his head and said, "I believe you also possess some skill and cultivation is not easy. Why not obediently hand over your authority? I am currently lacking capable people under my command. If you perform meritorious service in the future, it is not unreasonable to allow you to join my Peach Haven Sect."

"I will eventually surrender the Abyssal Authority to Abyss-Suppressing Mountain."

"You'd better leave quickly. I'll spare you from fighting, considering you're cultivating the path of Immortal Dao."

The Skeleton King shook his head.

"Abyss-Suppressing Mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Gu's smile vanished. "In that case, I will send you on your way and help you escape this lifeless state."

As they were talking.

With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind suddenly arose, stirring up boundless death energy that evolved into mysterious phenomena.

Waaaaah!

A chilling wind blew, as if countless spirits were bewitching and disturbing one's mind.

"You've gone too far!"

Upon seeing this, the Skeleton King opened his mouth and spat out a burst of mysterious light to block the yin wind, but the ghostly fire in his eye sockets trembled wildly, clearly indicating that he was under immense pressure.

"Good."

"This Devil Cultivation Method has been practiced to a certain degree."

Luo Gu smiled lightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, divine light immediately shone out, causing the deathly energy in the Dark Deadlands to retreat, the yin spirits to vanish, and the skeletons to turn to ashes.

"Not good!"

The Skeleton King was greatly alarmed. He reached out, and a scepter materialized in his hand from the void. With a sudden swing, the Skeleton King vanished instantly.

The moment he disappeared, divine light fell.

Immediately.

"Ahhh!"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

Between heaven and earth, the howls and cries of countless dead souls echoed, only to vanish in an instant.

The next moment, the land within a radius of three hundred miles became transparent, and the surging death energy vanished. Beneath the earth, countless withered bones turned to ashes and disappeared, causing the land within the three hundred miles to sink several feet.

"The Abyss Scepter?"

Luo Gu caught a glimpse of the scepter the Skeleton King had summoned as he vanished, and his smile deepened. With a flick of his robes, he took a step and disappeared as well.

Abyss-Suppressing Mountain.

Ferdinand staggered and rushed towards the Cloud Platform.

"Roar!"

Beside the Cloud Platform, Eclipse Grand Duke Neham of the Eclipse roared and howled at Ferdinand like a ferocious demon.

Ignoring the warning, Ferdinand landed on the Cloud Platform and cried out to Lu Qingfeng, "Sect Leader, save me!"

On the lotus platform.

Lu Qingfeng was surrounded by Sha Qi and Gang Qi, which circulated and evolved into endless mysteries.

His strength had clearly reached the Spell Gathering Realm.

Baleful Condensation and Astral Refinement.

They are advancing towards the Golden Core Realm.

While ordinary Spell Gathering Realm only need to condense one layer of Astral Fiend, Lu Qingfeng, having cultivated the Nine-Turn True Body, needs to condense Ninefold Astral Baleful.

It is more difficult and takes more time.

In the 311 years since entering the Barbarian God Realm, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation level directly rose to the mid -True Core stage of the Barbarian God Realm in the first two years thanks to 30 million experience points.

Then he forged his true form, taking two hundred years to advance to the Spell Gathering Realm.

For the next hundred years, they searched far and wide in the abyss for places to Astral Fiend Baleful Condensation and Astral Refinement. This abyss was full of perilous places, with countless ley lines and yin energy, even surpassing the Blue Star in the Galaxy Realm.

In just one hundred years.

Lu Qingfeng has already condensed three layers of Astral Fiend, a remarkable achievement. He has long since cultivated three layers of Law Power, far surpassing the capabilities of ordinary True Person at the Spell Gathering Realm.

"The sect leader has become stronger again."

When Ferdinand saw it, he was immediately shocked but also felt a sense of relief.

The stronger the sect leader is, the more likely he is to save him from that person's clutches.

Seeing Ferdinand's panic, Lu Qingfeng's gaze swept over him, pausing on his left shoulder. He saw that the Jade Unmelting Bone was charred black; it looked as if a mere touch would reduce it to dust.

"What happened?"

Given Ferdinand's strength, to injure him to this extent, he was no ordinary person. Moreover, from the charred blackening of his shoulder, Lu Qingfeng could sense the God of Strength energy emanating from him.

In the Barbarian God Realm, apart from his lineage of Abyss-Suppressing Mountain, the only ones with such abilities are probably the Reincarnated True Immortal under the two great celestial beings.

"Six hundred years."

"Thus it is, they do indeed have such abilities."

Lu Qingfeng looked at Ferdinand's shoulder injury and pondered to himself.

Ferdinand's eyes flickered with ghostly fire as he spoke rapidly, "Reporting to the Sect Master, Ferdinand's true form is the Skeleton King of the Dark Deadlands. Currently, an Immortal Dao cultivator from outside the Heaven's Punishment Abyss is hunting me down. Ferdinand did not intend to deceive you beforehand. Please, Sect Master, save me!"

"So it was the Lord of the First Layer of the Abyss."

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

When he first met Ferdinand three hundred years ago, he immediately recognized his extraordinary talent. However, the secrets of the heavens were chaotic and impossible to predict. In addition, Ferdinand had worked diligently and made many contributions over the past three hundred years, so Lu Qingfeng did not pursue the matter further.

Faced with this crisis, Ferdinand finally revealed himself.

"The Lord of the Abyss wields the Abyssal Authority and is empowered by the will of the Abyss, no wonder I couldn't calculate it."

Lu Qingfeng thought to himself as he rose from the stone lotus platform.

With one step, he vanished instantly.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Upon seeing this, Ferdinand was overjoyed. He thanked Lu Qingfeng and hurriedly followed him toward the Dark Deadlands.

"Roar!"

Neham was tethered to the Cloud Platform. Seeing Lu Qingfeng and Ferdinand walk away together, his eyes darted around. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply and was about to crash into the Cloud Platform.

However, upon turning around, he discovered...

On the stone lotus platform, a figure sat cross-legged, his eyes bright, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Master, spare my life!"

Neham was terrified and dared not bump into him again. He immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Incorrigible".

"You are to be punished by carrying mountains for sixty years, to temper the demonic nature in your heart."

The words fell.

Then the Cloud Platform cracked open, revealing a bottomless abyss.

"Master, spare my life! I will never do it again!" Neham looked at the abyss, his eyes filled with fear, and kept begging for mercy.

Lu Qingfeng ignored him.

With a wave of his sleeve, Neham immediately plunged into the abyss. With another thought, the abyss closed, leaving Neham trapped inside the mountain, with only his head protruding, his ferocious face filled with pain, howling and roaring incessantly.

From within the Thorn Grand Rift, amidst the endless lava, three ferocious heads emerged, their six eyes gleaming with contempt. "Three hundred years have passed, and you still haven't given up. What a big, stupid fool!"

The sound was deep and resonant, echoing through the magma-filled earth, before the three heads disappeared back into the rolling magma.

Dark Deadlands.

A white light appeared in front, followed by a dark light behind, constantly chasing each other.

The white light ahead was actually the Skeleton King, wielding the Abyss Scepter and constantly waving it to construct layers of barriers, wielding the power of heaven and earth to resist. Behind him, Gu Yue robes fluttered in the wind, and with each wave of her sleeves, streaks of ghostly light streaked across the sky, confronting the power of heaven and earth, actually forcing the Skeleton King to retreat step by step, even causing the light of the Xuan Jade on his body to sway.

"You Daoist priest, don't push your luck too far."

"I am a Dharma Protector of the Abyss-Suppressing Mountain lineage, personally appointed by Patriarch Guangyuan. We both belong to the Immortal Dao, why are you so aggressive!?"

Ferdinand was frustrated.

Over the past three hundred years, he listened to the Great Dao and turned to cultivating Immortal Dao Path, his strength increasing more than tenfold compared to three hundred years ago. In particular, his bones have become as hard as Law Artifact. Wielding the Abyss Scepter, the power of heaven and earth he can draw upon far surpasses what he had three hundred years ago.

Even so.

Under the Daoist's eerie light, they dared not resist even a fraction of an inch.

"This eerie light is soul-destroying; any undead that encounters it will have their souls annihilated. It is the bane of the undead!" Ferdinand saw countless undead fall with this eerie light in the Dark Deadlands, turning into piles of withered bones and wisps of Azure Smoke.

I felt resentful, yet powerless.

First, he was weaker than others, and then he was restrained in terms of Divine Ability Technique Method. He could only barely save his life with the help of the Abyss Scepter. He had no power to fight back at all.

"Oh?"

"He actually has such a relationship with that Daoist priest. No wonder he was able to obtain such an extraordinary Immortal Dao technique."

Upon hearing this, Luo Gu continued working, but a look of great interest appeared on his face. "In that case, it seems that Fellow Guangyuan is already on his way, which saves me the trouble of going to Abyss-Suppressing Mountain."

The struggle for the orthodox tradition is a matter of life and death, of self and others.

Regardless of which powerful figure Guangyuan is a disciple of, if he is not from the Peach Haven Grotto lineage of Nine Immortals Mountain, then he is a formidable enemy, and a battle is inevitable sooner or later.

The skeleton in front of him is quite powerful. Once it integrates with the Immortal Dao, although it will not pose much of a threat to him, it will still be a troublesome matter.
