Woe's Attention, Nine Nether Evil's Avatar!
In the deepest, endless black waters of the Sea of Buried Corpses.
A colossal bone temple, entirely constructed from the bones of ancient behemoths, lies silently at the bottom of the trench.
The deathly aura, as thick as ink, Entanglement to the stark white skeleton.
On the throne in the center of the hall.
A pair of narrow, golden eyes slowly opened, like two blinding searchlights, easily tearing through the absolute darkness of the deep sea.
Woe leans against the back of the bone.
Her long, wine-red hair flowed like a living thing in the water, covering her magnificent, deep blue robe.
The silver horn in the center of his forehead, covered with ancient magical patterns, gleamed with a chilling light.
Millions of years of sedimentation have caused the surrounding seawater to freeze completely simply by him sitting there.
The slender, pale fingertips gently twirled.
A wisp of extremely faint black energy struggled and drifted between his fingers before finally vanishing into nothingness.
This is the last soul imprint sent back by the Boneless Demon Fish before its death.
Woe was not angered.
Having endured millions of years in this dark and sunless Dead Sea, he had long since lost the worldly emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Yes, it's just an extreme curiosity about variables.
For far too long, no living creature has dared to run wild on his territory.
"Who killed my henchmen?" Woe murmured.
His voice carried a wicked languor.
The golden vertical pupils reflected the scene on the sea, and a hint of interest in sizing up prey shone in their eyes.
He casually raised his hand, his finger bones slightly bent, and the seawater inside the bone palace immediately boiled violently.
Dark red Lie Yan and extremely thick black mist twisted and tangled wildly in mid-air.
"Click click click!"
Amidst the ear-piercing sound of bones grinding together, Ferocious Beast with an extremely majestic body and an appearance resembling a Qilin materialized out of thin air.
This is the Nine Nether Evil.
A pure clone forged from millions of years of death energy and resentment.
Its body was covered in thick, dark red scales, its four hooves trod on black fire that burned souls, and it emitted a deep, chilling growl from its throat.
Woe rested his chin on his hand, speaking as if he were instructing someone on a trivial matter.
"Go and find out the truth."
"Bring those who broke in back to me safe and sound."
His tone was extremely soft, yet it exuded an absolute domineering air of someone who ruled over all things.
"Roar!!!"
The Nine Nether Evil Demon looked up to the sky and let out a roar that tore through the sea.
With a powerful stomp of its four hooves, it transformed into a dark red, violent streak of light, directly smashing through the dome of the Bone Palace.
It carried with it a terrifying, overwhelming pressure, heading straight for the island in the sea.
The entire deep sea trembled violently under this malevolent aura.
In the middle of the island, deep in the dense forest.
Ye Qing and his two companions continued forward, the surrounding environment becoming extremely oppressive.
The chirping of insects and birds that could still be heard in the surrounding area had all vanished completely.
The air was filled with a thick, pungent Poison Miasma and a fishy stench.
The deeper you go into the center of the island, the more frequent the subtle noises coming from the treetops and bushes become.
"Hiss--"
"Chirp--"
The cries of monkeys and the hisses of snakes intertwined, converging into a chilling, eerie soundscape that sent shivers down one's spine.
Ye Qing stopped in her tracks.
His gaze swept quickly across the surroundings.
Visibility was extremely low, but the space was completely filled with countless beast shadows.
On the thick, ancient tree trunk, coiled a variety of colorful venomous pythons as thick as buckets, their dark green venom dripping down their fangs.
Among the branches and leaves high up on the hill, there were many giant macaques covered in iron-gray bristles.
Their sharp claws dug deep into the tree bark, their small, scarlet eyes greedily fixed on the three people below.
They were all of the same caliber, with cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years.
There are at least hundreds, if not thousands.
If an ordinary Titled Douluo were to storm into this situation, the sheer oppressive force of the dense beast tide would likely prevent them from even standing.
The most unusual thing was the attitude of these Soul Beast.
They neither launched an attack, nor were they intimidated by the aura of the two Far North, insignificant creatures on the periphery.
Even though their bodies trembled instinctively, they stubbornly resisted their fear and shrank back little by little, step by step.
The encirclement tightened with extreme precision, leaving the three of them less than a hundred meters away—a death line.
Ice Empress stopped in his tracks, his body covered in a layer of biting frost.
She hates this kind of sticky, half-hearted, and hesitant game.
"A bunch of lowlifes, do they even deserve to gather around?"
Ice Empress's tone was as cold as an ice cellar, and emerald-like ice crystal patterns faintly appeared on both sides of his arms.
The energy of the Ultimate Ice was compressed wildly in his palm, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.
She was determined to unleash a powerful attack, turning this rotten forest and all the beasts within it into a pile of ice shards.
At that moment, Snow Empress extended her fair hand and gently pressed down on Ice Empress's wrist.
"Wait a minute."
Snow Empress's clear, cold eyes swept around, her gaze penetrating and seeing right through the surface of the scene.
"Watch their movements carefully."
Following Snow Empress's prompting, Ye Qing looked closely.
The innermost circle is full of tough-skinned, thick -Iron-Armed Macaque.
The outer ring and the highest points are like venomous pythons poised to strike, their venom glands bulging, ready to spew venom at any moment.
This is not a mindless berserk state of Soul Beast following its instincts at all.
This is an extremely well-organized, three-dimensional military formation with a clear division of labor!
"These Soul Beast move with great skill and order."
Snow Empress remained calm and analyzed the situation.
"Someone was deliberately directing them from behind, forcibly suppressing their instinct to escape."
Upon hearing this, Ice Empress's anger flared even more fiercely.
She didn't care who was playing tricks behind her back.
The rulers of the Far North never need to reason with their prey.
"Who cares about orders? Just freeze them all into blocks of ice!"
Ice Empress took a heavy step forward.
The thick layer of decaying leaves and soil beneath our feet froze solid under the extreme cold, producing a piercing creaking sound.
Her scorpion eyes swept over the group of Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast that were closing in on her.
The long-suppressed killing intent was now unleashed without any restraint.
"Noisy."
Ice Empress coldly uttered two words, his aura sweeping across the surroundings like a tidal wave.
"Take one more step forward, and I'll freeze you all into specimens."
The oppressive force of Ultimate Ice swept out, and the cries of monkeys and hisses of snakes around them visibly paused for a beat.
Even the Iron-Armed Macaque in the front row couldn't withstand the cold; a thick layer of white frost formed on their fur.
Just then...
Without warning, the outermost swarm of venomous pythons simultaneously parted to the sides, creating a wide passage.
A blindingly bright, dark red flame, mixed with Da Hei mist, hurtled towards them from the depths of the dense forest.
Even the stagnant air around them was distorted and deformed by the black fire.
The Ice Sword in Xue Emperor's Palm materialized in the blink of an eye, its blade pointing directly at the direction from which the firelight was coming.
"Be careful, something's not right."
Ye Qing stood between the two peerless Ferocious Beast, his posture relaxed.
The big fish that had been hiding in the back finally showed itself.
"Roar!!!"
An extremely violent roar exploded from the depths of the Poison Miasma.
The hundreds of towering ancient trees around were shaken violently by the sound, and withered yellow leaves fell down like a torrential rain.
The ancient giant tree, which was as thick as dozens of people could hug, blocking the way, didn't even last a second before snapping in half from the middle of its trunk.
The broken giant tree crashed heavily into the muddy water, splashing black mud more than ten meters high.
A massive, mountain-like black shadow crashed through the dense foliage, carrying with it a blindingly hot, dark red flame, and landed heavily on the open ground directly in front of the three of them.
The ground of the entire island shook violently twice.
Ye Qing stared intently.
It wasn't some deep-sea monster that attacked.
It was actually a giant ape with an extremely exaggerated size.
This monster was over ten meters tall, a veritable mobile iron tower covered in black hair.
Its pure black fur stood on end, as hard as a suit of steel armor forged through countless hammer blows.
A striking tuft of long, white beard hung from his chin, reaching all the way down to his extremely muscular chest.
What's most eye-catching is its design.
The monkey had a tattered red cloth loosely tied around its waist, with a hideous skull pattern faintly imprinted on the cloth.
His muscles bulged high, and his skin was covered with hot, blood-red lines.
The high temperature evaporated the surrounding moisture, turning it into puffs of pungent white smoke.
Those lantern-sized, crimson pupils gleamed with ferocity as they stared intently at the three intruders in the center of the arena.
"Where did this stranger come from!"
The black monkey spoke, its rough voice like two rusty iron plates grinding against each other, making one's eardrums ache.
"You dare trespass on my territory? You're asking for trouble!"
His harsh words were deafening, and his aura was extremely intimidating.
Upon seeing their king appear, the surrounding monkey and snake Soul Beast immediately erupted in extremely excited roars, as if they had found their leader.
