[Current AFK Points Balance: 850,000,000 points!]
The Invincible Sword World and the five avatars Avatar, and the blood of the four Tribulation Immortals poured down like a torrential rain on the summit of the Jambudvipa Divine Mountain.
Below the mountainside, thousands of members of the Zhong Lineage looked up at the spotless white-robed figure in the sky, so frightened that they buried their heads in the ground, their teeth chattering.
Single-handedly, he slaughtered three Venerable and Fourth Tribulation Ancestors!
Chen Changqing put away the three Storage Rings and the Life-and-Death Judge's Brush, and landed beside Zhong Cheng: "Let's go to the Demonic Abyss in the back mountain to rescue your Grand Elder."
Zhong Cheng snapped out of his utter shock, nodded with wild joy, and immediately activated the Ghost-Slaying Divine Seal between his brows to lead the way.
The two flew over the forbidden canyon behind the sacred mountain and plunged into the bottomless Demon-Suppressing Abyss.
In the center of a Blood Pool at the deepest part of the abyss, a gaunt old man with white hair and beard, dressed in a tattered purple-gold robe, was suspended in mid-air by four thick Black Iron soul-locking chains piercing his collarbone and legs.
The old man originally bore the marks of five life-and-death Heavenly Tribulations around his body, but now his Dantian and brow were both pierced by vicious soul-corroding nails, and he was on the verge of death. He was none other than Zhong Pillar of Stability, the pillar of the Zhong Family and the Supreme Elder the Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Zhong Xuanming!
"Your Excellency!!"
Zhong Cheng's eyes were red-rimmed as he rushed forward.
Chen Changqing drew the Immortal Execution Sword and casually swung it twice.
Clank!
The four Xuan Black Iron Soul-Locking Chains, which even Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal couldn't sever, snapped instantly. Chen Changqing stepped forward, Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger twice with his right index finger, and Pure Yang Immortal Essence surged into his fingertip, directly shaking the two Soul-Eroding Nails out of Zhong Xuanming's body. He then casually stuffed a Nine-Turn Soul Returning Pill into Zhong Xuanming's mouth.
As the medicine took effect, Zhong Xuanming coughed violently a few times, spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and slowly opened his cloudy eyes.
When he saw the Ghost-Slaying Divine Seal between Zhong Cheng's eyebrows, and after hearing Zhong Cheng recount in a few words how Chen Changqing had killed Zhong Tianba and the other two, this 50,000-year-old Five Tribulations Ancestor stood up shakily and bowed deeply to Chen Changqing.
"I, Zhong Xuanming, am deeply grateful to young friend Chen for saving my life, and even more so for cleaning up the mess for my Zhong Family and restoring our millennia-old foundation!"
Without any hesitation, Zhong Xuanming took out an ancient key carved entirely from primordial black jade from his bosom, presented it to Chen Changqing with both hands, and simultaneously unleashed the powerful voice of Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, echoing throughout the entire Jambudvipa Divine Mountain:
"By my decree! Zhong Tianba and Zhong Disha, having colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed our ancestors, have been executed! Effective immediately, Zhong Cheng shall officially succeed as the new head of the Zhong Family, wielding all authority over the Evil-Punishing Bureau. No one in the entire clan shall dare disobey!"
"Young friend Chen, this is the key to the number one secret vault in the back mountain. Inside are all the top-secret documents about the Senluo Deathland that my Zhong Family has collected over the past 100,000 years!"
Chen Changqing took the black jade key and, without delay, followed Zhong Cheng's guidance and slipped into the No. 1 secret vault in the heart of the back mountain.
The secret vault was built of millennia-old ice, exuding a chilling aura. Under the dim glow of ghostly lamps, rows of black iron bookshelves were filled with yellowed ancient human skin scrolls.
Chen Changqing spread his Divine Sense across 20,000 miles, instantly imprinting the contents of thousands of ancient books made of human skin into his mind. Combined with the secrets of the Netherworld Palace that he had just gleaned from the remnant soul of Gui Wuchang, his movements suddenly stopped in front of a blood-red imperial mausoleum array diagram laid out on a long black jade table.
Above the array diagram, the structure of the underground Senluo Deathland Land was marked in detail with cinnabar.
It turns out that the "Ten Thousand Ghosts Worshipping Heaven Grand Sacrifice," which the Netherworld Palace had been preparing for for a hundred years, was not at all what the Nangong Family thought—to awaken the Ghost King's corpse and divide the spoils!
The section of the immortal demon body of the Foreign Races from the Upper Realm that was severed by the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor beneath the Senluo Deathland, after being suppressed for 100,000 years, still contained a wisp of the immortal main soul of the Demon Lord of the Upper Realm!
Because the demonic body was firmly nailed to the Dark Moon Imperial Mausoleum's dragon vein by the nine Heaven-Stepping Tokens and could not move, the Netherworld Palace's true scheme was to use the power of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Sacrifice to transform Xiaoqian's Nine Netherworlds Pure Yin Immortal Physique into a perfect vessel, allowing that wisp of the Upper Realm Demon Lord's main soul to directly possess Xiaoqian's body and be reborn through it!
Once the possession is complete, Xiaoqian's soul will be completely devoured by the Demon Lord's main soul on the spot, without even the slightest chance of Reincarnation!
At the end of the human skin scroll, there is a secret recorded: the front of the Senluo Deathland is surrounded by 100,000 Yin Soldiers and Ten Thousand Ghost Array. Only on the west side of the imperial tomb is there a "Severed Dragon Underground River" left by the former Yinyue Holy Dynasty, which can bypass the frontal array and go straight to the underground Blood Pool.
The entrance to the Broken Dragon Dark River is protected by the ancient sword techniques of the Yin Moon Holy Dynasty, which cannot be broken by anyone other than a member of the Yin Moon royal family or someone who has mastered the Holy Dynasty's supreme martial art, the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique".
Click--!
Chen Changqing suddenly exerted force with his five fingers, and the entire ancient black jade table beneath his palm was instantly crushed into dust!
An extremely chilling killing intent swept out from his body, instantly extinguishing the dark ghost fire in the secret vault, causing the temperature of the void within a ten-mile radius to plummet, and thick white frost to form on the rock walls!
Just then...
Buzz--!
The broken blood Jade Slip in Chen Changqing's arms, which contained a wisp of Xiaoqian's original aura and had been snatched from the young master of the Netherworld Palace, suddenly became as hot as a branding iron!
The cracks on the surface of the blood Jade Slip completely burst open, and a wisp of extremely faint pure Yin Blood Qi drifted out. In mid-air in front of Chen Changqing, it condensed into a phantom image of Xiaoqian, whose body was pierced by countless black demonic chains and who was writhing in pain in Blood Pool. A weak, intermittent call came out:
"Master... Master..."
"Xiaoqian!"
Chen Changqing reached out to grab it, but the crimson phantom in mid-air had exhausted its last bit of power and collapsed into specks of red light with a snap.
But through that instantaneous connection, Chen Changqing had completely pinpointed Xiaoqian's exact location underground in the Senluo Deathland Land!
Boom!
Chen Changqing smashed the stone door of the Heaven No. 1 Secret Vault, stepped out of the back mountain, and landed directly in front of Zhong Cheng and the Supreme Elder Zhong Xuanming, who were reorganizing the clan elders.
"Brother Chen, I have gathered the remaining twelve Tribulation Immortal Elders and three thousand Punishment Iron Cavalry from the clan. We can set off within half an hour!"
Zhong Cheng donned a set of crimson-gold family patriarch armor and spoke urgently.
"I can't wait even half an hour, I'm leaving now."
Chen Changqing grabbed Zhong Cheng's arm. "You're familiar with the terrain around the Senluo Deathland Zone, come with me. The rest of you don't need to come."
Upon seeing this, Grand Zhong Xuanming immediately raised his hand and threw out an ancient compass engraved with spatial Dao Marks, sending it into the interdimensional teleportation platform in the center of the Divine Mountain Square: "Young friend Chen, I have just escaped my predicament and my origin is damaged, so I cannot accompany you. This ancient teleportation platform can send you directly to a hundred miles away from the Senluo Deathland! Zhong Cheng, cooperate fully with young friend Chen. Even if it costs you your life, you must rescue him!"
"Grandson obeys!"
Buzz--!
A hundred-foot-long beam of light shot up from the teleportation platform, and Chen Changqing, with Zhong Cheng in tow, stepped inside, their figures instantly disappearing from Jambudvipa Divine Mountain.
After a few breaths.
In the far north of the Central Domain, on the outskirts of a desolate, perpetually dark, and crisscrossed by deep abysses and ravines, the void suddenly ripped open.
Chen Changqing and Zhong Cheng stepped out from between them.
Before their feet even touched the ground, a nauseatingly strong stench of blood and corpse assaulted their senses.
A hundred miles ahead, the entire world was completely shrouded in a thick, dark purple cloud, with countless ghastly green bolts of lightning as thick as buckets striking down from within it.
On the plain at the entrance to the Senluo Deathland, ten towering white bone altars stood in a row. Tens of thousands of Cultivators, dressed in the black and gold armor of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan and the skull robes of the Netherworld Palace, formed a great formation. Hundreds of millions of fierce and vengeful spirits roared and swirled in the black mist, blocking the road into the Netherworld so tightly that not even a fly could get in!
The Ten Directions Yama's Absolute Destruction Line!
"This is bad! The Nangong Aristocratic Clan and the Netherworld Palace have moved all their main forces to the outer perimeter!"
Zhong Cheng felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the terrifying defensive line that stretched for hundreds of miles.
At the very moment the two appeared.
Rumble--!
Suddenly, the void at the very center of the entrance to the Senluo Deathland collapsed violently, and a vast pressure more than ten times stronger than that of Zhong Tianba and Nangong Lie descended from the depths of the black clouds!
A gaunt old man, dressed in a Purple Gold Daoist Robe with the Eight Trigrams, his white hair tied in a topknot, and a mole between his eyebrows, stepped out of the black mist, his feet resting on five tangible dark gold halos of life and death Heavenly Tribulations!
The five rings of Life-and-Death Tribulation slowly rotated, and with each rotation, the Heaven and Earth Laws within a radius of a thousand miles resonated and trembled!
The highest ancestor of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Nangong Wudi, who reigns supreme in the Central Domain!
Behind Nangong Wudi were eight elders from the Nangong Family and the Netherworld Palace, each surrounded by three or four Tribulation Rings!
"Chen Changqing!!"
Nangong Wudi stared at the white-robed youth a hundred miles away. His aged voice transformed into a tangible sonic tsunami, instantly turning dozens of barren mountains along the way into dust!
"You killed my Nangong Family's Grand Elder and Third Elder, beheaded my fourth brother Nangong Lie in Tianyuan City, and half an hour ago helped the Zhong Family destroy Gui Wuchang and Zhong Tianba at Jambudvipa Divine Mountain!"
Nangong Wudi had just received an urgent report that the Soul Lamps were shattering one after another, and was about to lead his men to attack the Zhong Family when he unexpectedly found that the main culprit had actually come to the door of the Senluo Deathland!
"In my fifty thousand years of life, this is the first time I've ever seen Heavenly Monarch of the Yang Realm who can jump around so much!"
"With me personally overseeing this Ten Directions Yama Array today, even if you are a reincarnated Daluo Golden Immortal, you'd better leave your life here for me!"
Before he finished speaking, this Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Ancestor showed no intention of testing Chen Changqing and reached out with his right hand to grab him from a distance!
Boom--!
The Fivefold Tribulation of Life and Heavenly Tribulation Principle and the Ten Directions Yama Grand Array below were activated simultaneously!
A ghastly green, five-thousand-zhang-wide, Five Tribulations -destroying ghost hand, blotting out the sky, directly tore through the Nine Netherworlds Firmament. The palm lines flowed with a terrifying torrent of Principle powerful enough to easily crush Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, and it grabbed down towards Chen Changqing and Zhong Cheng!
Before the ghostly hand even arrived, the ground within a hundred miles below had already collapsed ten feet. Zhong Cheng had just advanced to the One-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, was so oppressed by this Five Tribulations pressure that his bones cracked and bled from all seven orifices, and he couldn't even move a finger!
This is the first Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal that Chen Changqing has encountered head-on since entering the Nine Netherworlds Realm!
Faced with the overwhelming, five-thousand-foot-long, world-destroying ghost hand, Chen Changqing pushed Zhong Cheng behind him. Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the ancient seal script of the "Violence Formula" burned to its extreme at this moment!
Boom--!
The vast essence of blood and vital Essence Blood absorbed from the previous slaying of the three Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortals has been fully detonated!
Chen Changqing's cultivation aura, having just advanced to the Middle Heavenly Monarch Stage, skyrocketed like a rocket, instantly surpassing the Late Heavenly Monarch Stage and soaring to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection!
At the same time, the Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits and Three Great Star Primordial Spirits within the Sea of Consciousness simultaneously formed hand seals, and the secret technique of the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty, the "Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal -Secret Art Seal," was activated with a roar, transforming into a magnificent seal of humanity, which directly merged into the fully unfolding Invincible Sword World!
Get out of my way!
Chen Changqing roared to the sky, gripping the Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure Immortal Execution Sword, with both hands. Behind him, a phantom of a crimson -Human Emperor's Seal, which could suppress mountains and rivers, appeared. He mobilized the World Power the Hundred-Mile Sword World, defying the heavens, and slashed head-on at the five-thousand-foot-long ghost hand with his sword!
The Immortal Execution Sword Technique is combined with the Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal!
