The Three Netherworld Venerables:
Nether Bone Heavenly Venerable (a skeleton who attained the Dao and controlled Bone Laws)!
Nether Soul Heavenly Venerable (a composite of billions upon billions of remnant souls, strange and unfathomable)!

When the Netherworld Death Qi touched the Light of Life, it immediately melted like ice and snow, emitting a harsh sound.
Countless low-level ghosts hidden within the Death Qi shrieked and turned into wisps of green smoke.
"Who dares trespass into my Netherworld?!"
The Three Venerables' cold voices rang out from the depths of
