Three Heads and Six Arms!

The sky was gray and gloomy, and as far as the eye could see, the mountains, marshes, and wilderness were all barren.

The roars of monsters could still be heard occasionally from the distant mountains.

In Zhou Hao's perception, the entire land seemed to be a large array, like a huge dome covering everything underground.

"Is that a kid from the outer sect? I haven't seen him before."

An aged voice rang out, and Zhou Hao saw two simply dressed old men urging him on from outside the teleportation array.

"These should be native beings of the Profound Heaven Realm who failed the outer sect's test and were assigned to various places to perform miscellaneous tasks," Zhou Hao thought to himself.

They are outer disciples from the Xia Clan Great World. If they cannot enter the inner sect within ten years, they will be sent back to the Xia Clan Great World.

The native creatures were assigned to various towns or places like the entrance to the Abyss World beneath the Sunken Sky Mountain to guard them.

Those who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, though also called elders in charge, are vastly different from the Nascent Soul elders of the various branches within the inner sect.

"Elder," Zhou Hao bowed to the two elders, "Zhou Hao, a disciple of the Outer Sect West Courtyard, wishes to pay my respects to Elder Yuanhua. May I ask where he is?"

"Yuanhua?" The two elders exchanged a glance. One of them, a slightly plump man with gray hair, spoke up, "The Abyss World has been restless lately, and Elder Yuanhua and the other inner sect elders have gone to suppress it. They are not here. If you wish to wait, you can go to the palace on that mountain peak."

"Not here?" Zhou Hao shook his head. "Never mind, I still need to go underground. Let's talk about it when I get back. Elders, if Elder Yuanhua returns, please just tell him that I came to see him."

In Zhou Hao's mind, Elder Yuanhua had told him to go see him first after arriving at Sunken Sky Mountain, probably to give him some pointers. Now that he was not there and didn't know when he would return, and since Senior Brother Yan Xun had already given him his advice, he didn't plan to wait any longer.

"It's nothing, we'll inform Elder Yuanhua later." The plump old man nodded.

"Once you enter the underground, if you find it too dangerous and you're not confident in your abilities, or if you're possessed by a Yin Demon, come back immediately. Also, those Yin Demons have no physical form and are masters of transformation. If you suddenly encounter someone you know, carefully identify them and don't be careless."

Seeing that Zhou Hao knew Yuanhua, the thin old man offered a word of advice.

"Clear."

Zhou Hao smiled slightly at the two old men, then transformed into a streak of light and flew towards a distant ring-shaped mountain peak.

Watching Zhou Hao's escape light disappear, the thin old man sighed, "I'm so envious. He's still so young, and he came from the Xia Clan Great World. Among the outer sect disciples of the West Courtyard this time, there are quite a few monstrous young talents. Those who went in a few days ago will probably be qualified for the inner sect test when they come out."

"Yes. We've lived for hundreds of years, and we can only stay in the Profound Heaven Realm. If we could venture into the Xia Clan Great World, we would have no regrets in this life," the fat old man sighed.

For them, unless they can advance from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Return and gain more attention from their sect, giving them a chance to leave the Profound Heaven Realm, they will be stuck in the Profound Heaven Realm for the rest of their lives.

The golden fish that the Golden-Scaled Boat had transformed into flew through the air and soon arrived above the ring-shaped mountain peak.

Within a ring of mountains thousands of feet high, a massive fissure in the earth resembled a gaping maw, its dark, chilling air billowing outwards.

That is the entrance to the Abyss World beneath the earth.

Nearly one-fifth of the entire Western Lianghe Continent is an underground Abyss World.

Therefore, almost the entire Western Lianghe Continent is covered with sealing formations set up by sects using mountains and rivers.

Sunken Sky Mountain is the only entrance to the grand formation, and more than ten inner sect Nascent Soul elders are permanently stationed here.

Zhou Hao stepped on a giant golden fish and plunged into the massive crevice in the earth.

Swish swish swish~~~

Countless vampire bats, each the size of a palm leaf fan, with sharp teeth and bloodshot eyes, burst forth from the darkness, sweeping in like a swarm of locusts.

Buzz~~~~

A wave of divine consciousness spread outwards, and the vampire bats that had swept in had not even gotten within a hundred feet of Zhou Hao before they fell like raindrops.

This place is still at the entrance to the crevice. Those vampire bats are not even considered innate demonic beasts. Under the bombardment of the Soul-Shaking Art, their heads exploded and they died instantly.

The golden fish plunged downwards, and bats fell like raindrops, countless of them dying.

Only after Zhou Hao followed the underground crack to a plain did the bats cease to appear.

"As expected, it harbors countless demonic beasts. Just the endless bats at the entrance to the rift alone would exhaust the true essence of even Xiantian Lifeform beings protected by magical treasures."

Zhou Hao landed on the black earth of the underground world and saw that this underground plain seemed to stretch endlessly as far as the eye could see. Even when he explored it with his divine sense, he could not reach the edge at all.

Some unique mushrooms or tall plants grow on dark underground plains and rock walls, along with many cold streams and rivers, seemingly forming a complete ecosystem just like the surface.

"This is the first level. The strongest creatures here are only innate demonic beasts. To encounter Purple Mansion demons or earth demons, you'd have to go down to the second level."

Zhou Hao walked on the black earth, his Origin Power shielding his feet, so that his feet did not get dusty as he walked.

There was still light shining through the crack, and although it was dark, he could still see. But as he walked for more than ten miles, the surroundings were gradually shrouded in darkness.

Mushrooms, each as tall as a person, spread out like giant umbrellas, their mycelium emitting a faint green glow. Exposed metallic minerals on the ground refracted the green light, making the dark underground world appear even more eerie, like a ghostly green.

The underground contains abundant mineral deposits. The deeper the abyss, the rarer the minerals. Minerals such as Earth Crystal Stone and Cold Iron Refined Gold are even rare on the surface and can be used to forge magical treasures and flying swords.

Among the sect disciples' missions are tasks such as mining rare minerals and gathering various medicinal herbs; bringing back enough of these herbs will earn them merit points.

Along his journey, Zhou Hao encountered several types of minerals, but none of them were particularly rare. Excavating hundreds of thousands of kilograms of them would probably only be worth one or two merit points.

"Killing demonic beasts and yakshas is still the fastest way to earn merit points." Zhou Hao walked through a white obsidian steel vein and saw many signs of excavation. He wondered who had previously mined there.

Merit points, merit points. Contributing to the sect by providing minerals and medicinal herbs will earn you merit points.

Killing demonic beasts and slaying yaksha demons are also acts of merit, earning merit points as a reward.

Disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect can earn one merit point by killing one hundred innate demonic beasts, or one Purple Mansion demonic beast or earth demon in the underground world.

Killing a Myriad Phenomena Beast or Earth Demon grants 100 merit points. Killing a Myriad Phenomena Yaksha grants 500 merit points.

Zhou Hao came here to hone his skills through battle, and of course, merit points gained through killing are faster.

Wow~~~

A soft light shone down from the void above Zhou Hao's head, dispelling the darkness and wisps of ghostly energy within a ten-zhang radius around him.

This place is Baili deep into the underground plain, not far from the fissure passage leading to the second layer.

The chilling aura of the underworld surrounding them grew stronger and stronger. Although Zhou Hao, with his current cultivation level, didn't care, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

This is only the abyss-like energy spreading from the Abyss World; in the deepest parts of the earth, the dense aura of the underworld can even rival that of the Underworld.

This ghostly aura is the most favored aura by evil spirits and demons. If a normal living being stays in such an environment for too long, its soul will be invaded, causing it to go mad.

This is why the monsters in the Abyss World are different from those on the surface. Many of the monsters that can rival the God-Devil Body Refining Myriad Phenomena True Person act solely on their monster instincts and are called 'fierce beasts' by the disciples of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, rather than the kind of great demons that can transform into human form.

"The ' Heavenly Sun Mirror,' a high-grade Earth-rank magic treasure gifted by Yuanhua, is perfectly suited for use in this Abyss World filled with Netherworld energy." Zhou Hao glanced at the ancient bronze mirror floating above his head.

Among the magical treasures previously sent by various lineages, this ' Heavenly Sun Mirror ' and the ' Dust-Veiling Sand ' sent by Yu Tiandu are the most precious.

The ' Heavenly Sun Mirror ' can emit the Kan-Li Yang Astral Mystic Light. In addition to protecting the body, the light emitted from the mirror is also the nemesis of Yin demons, evil spirits, and demonic magic.

As the Yang Gang Xuan Guang shone down, the surrounding Netherworld Qi, upon contact, turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated, warming Zhou Hao's entire body as if he were being bathed in sunlight.

As he walked, Zhou Hao glanced at a spot in the darkness out of the corner of his eye.

In the darkness lurked hundreds of blood wolves with bloodshot eyes, each at the Innate level, the smallest of which was several meters tall.

Even a powerful innate demon who could occupy a mountain and be a minor demon king in the outside world, under the invasion of the Netherworld energy underground, was no different from an ordinary demon beast, drooling as he slowly crept towards Zhou Hao and followed him.

"I've already turned on the lights for you, why aren't you doing anything?" Zhou Hao thought to himself.

He didn't constantly scan his surroundings with his divine sense, as that would consume too much of his soul. This pack of underground blood wolves was discovered during his earlier exploration, and they were considered the strongest group of innate demonic beasts on this first level.

With the abundant aura of flesh and blood emanating from Zhou Hao, and the light reflecting off him, the pack of subterranean blood wolves, driven only by their beastly instincts, could no longer restrain themselves.

"Awooooo~~~"

Dozens of Bloodshadow lunged out of the darkness, their gleaming white teeth like sharp blades.

Zhou Hao controlled the Yang Gang Xuan Guang of the Heavenly Sun Mirror to only dispel the Netherworld Qi, preventing the blood wolves from being directly reduced to ashes. Then, with a sway, his body grew to ten zhang tall, and two more heads and four arms grew from behind him.

These are the two great supernatural powers: "Following the Law of Heaven and Earth" and "Three Heads and Six Arms".

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Zhou Hao had three heads, and everything around him was within sight. His six arms were either forming sword fingers, straight fists like arrows, pinched into crane beaks, or swung out like horizontal hammers...

All that could be heard were screams of agony as dozens of blood wolves that had pounced from all directions were killed instantly, some even exploding into a cloud of blood mist mid-air.

"Haha, that's great!" Zhou Hao laughed loudly, and his figure appeared like a ghost in front of more than ten blood wolves that were eight or nine feet tall.

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

With a coordinated swing of its six arms, as sharp as knives, it neatly sliced off the skulls of more than ten blood wolves.

Then, with a slight shift in his steps, he appeared again in front of more than ten blood wolves on the other side.

This time, he unleashed a barrage of punches with all six arms, like a Linked Pearls Arrow of arrows, instantly turning more than ten blood wolves into a bloody mist.

Amidst the blood-stained wolf carcasses scattered on the ground, Zhou Hao strode away.

"These two great divine abilities, no wonder those powerful gods and demons love to use them the most, they are truly exhilarating!" Zhou Hao withdrew his divine power and returned to his original state.

That is to say, he had just mastered the supernatural power of Three Heads and Six Arms, but had not yet used it in battle. He was still enjoying the novelty of it, which is why he had been waiting for the wolf pack to gather.

Otherwise, with a mere thought, he could control flying needles and slaughter them all from dozens of miles away.

Having thoroughly enjoyed his newly mastered cultivation and experienced the unique underground world, Zhou Hao released the Golden-Scaled Boat, which transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the crack passage leading to the second underground level.

The Abyss World is said to be nine layers deep. The deeper you go, the more monsters and demons there are, and the stronger they become. It is not surprising that some primordial spirit level yakshas suddenly appear in the deepest part.

He intended to travel to the sixth level and below, where Myriad Phenomena myriad demons and earth demons roamed.

The innate and Purple Mansion demonic beasts in the previous levels were nothing more than easy kills for him, offering no real training or tempering effect.

Thus, Zhou Hao was enveloped in the Kan-Li Yang Astral Mystic Light of the Heavenly Sun Mirror above, and stood on a golden fish, moving freely in this vast underground world as if it were his own.

The Purple Mansion beasts encountered along the way, whether they were three-headed earth pythons or earth-armored mad bears, were all slaughtered by the crimson-black light needles emitted by the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light with a flash of light, their bodies even turning to dust and rotting.

Call!

The golden fish flew all the way and soon plunged into a deep crevice in the distance.

This was the fifth rift Zhou Hao had traversed, and this level was the sixth level of the Abyss World.

"On this level, the Myriad Phenomena great demons should appear."

Zhou Hao stood on the Golden-Scaled Boat, his divine sense about to probe outwards.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in the distance and flew towards him in a panic.

"Changsheng Brother Changsheng, save me! We encountered a Nascent Soul Yaksha. Liang Han and the others are all dead. Only I escaped using Minor Teleportation Escape Talisman."

Liu Yu's voice was trembling with sobs, and what she said was even more shocking.

"Senior brother, let me up quickly! That Nascent Soul Yaksha will catch up soon!"
