Invincible Avatar Technique Unleashed at Full Power!
Clang!
Rumble--!
The thousand-foot- Sword-Ray, imbued with the imperial majesty of humanity and the Chaos Sword Qi, clashed violently with the ghastly green, world-destroying ghost hand of the Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal in mid-air!
A visible, destructive storm instantly swept across an area of three hundred miles!
The hundred-mile-long mountain range below was flattened on the spot by the aftershocks of the battle. The three thousand-foot-tall white bone altars on the outer edge of the Ten Directions Yama Grand Array could not withstand the impact and exploded into bone dust. Thousands of the Nangong Family Cultivators with lower cultivation levels were shocked and vomited blood and fainted on the spot!
High in the sky, Chen Changqing Treading the Void, but was forced back thirty feet by the backlash of the Five Tribulations Principle, and the tiger's mouth of his right hand holding the sword felt slightly numb.
Meanwhile, the five-thousand-foot-long, pale green ghost hand opposite was also cleaved open by the Immortal Execution Sword, with a huge gash a hundred feet long in its palm, and it crumbled away!
"What?! He withstood a full-force attack from my Five Tribulations Realm cultivator head-on without being injured?!"
Nangong Wudi he stood in front of the dark clouds, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
A Heavenly Monarch from the Yang Realm, who relied on Secret Method to reach the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection, was actually able to directly block the killing move of this Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal!
"This boy has used some kind of secret Secret Method that overdraws his potential; it can't last! Everyone, listen to my command! Form the Ten Directions Immortal-Trapping Formation! Hold him back for me and exhaust his Qi and Blood!"
Nangong Wudi reacted extremely quickly, immediately seeing through the flaws of the "Violence Formula". He immediately commanded the eight Three Tribulations and Fourth Tribulation Elders behind him to flank and surround Chen Changqing from both sides, attempting to trap him outside the defensive line.
"Trying to stall me for time? You're not qualified."
Chen Changqing glanced at the western canyon of the Senluo Deathland, shrouded in black mist in the distance. That was the location of the Severed Dragon Underground River, as recorded in the dossier.
He had no intention of lingering in the fight. With a thought, he activated the Invincible Avatar Technique at full power!
Whoosh!
Five white- Avatars, all at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Monarch Great Perfection, stepped out into the sky!
"Open circuit!"
The five Avatars completely disregarded their own defenses, simultaneously unleashing two Haotian Hammers, two Dragon-Patterned Sky-Splitting Spears, and the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Diagram. Like five humanoid meteorites, they launched a ferocious, self-destructive attack, directly crashing into the weak point of the defensive line formed by the eight Three Tribulations and Fourth Tribulation Elders on the right!
"Thirty-Six Chaotic Cloak Hammers," Break the Heavens!
"The Immortal-Extinguishing Three Spears," Earth-Immortal Slaughter!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The five Avatars bombarded the enemy relentlessly, instantly sending two Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortals flying and coughing up blood. They forcefully tore open a gap several tens of feet wide in the impenetrable Ten Directions Yama defense line!
"Don't even think about getting through!"
Nangong Wudi flashed forward, his five Life-and-Death Tribulation rings intertwined into a net, and he personally reached out to grab Chen Changqing's back!
Chen Changqing turned around abruptly, his left index finger pointing out with the "Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger" technique, while his right hand sheathed the Immortal Execution Sword half an inch away. At this moment, the Supreme Lore of the Yinyue Holy Dynasty suddenly erupted!
The Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique!
Clang--!
The moment the sword was drawn, time seemed to stand still. A streak of sword Sword Light, so fast that even Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal's Divine Sense couldn't catch it, fused with the purple-gold annihilation light of the Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger, directly struck Nangong Wudi's right palm as he reached out to grab it!
Pfft!
Blood splattered!
The protective tribulation light of the mighty Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal Nangong Wudi was forcibly broken by this sword, leaving a deep sword mark that revealed bone on his palm, and purple-gold Five Tribulations Immortal blood flew into the sky!
"Hiss--! What a sharp Sword Drawing Technique!"
Nangong Wudi's movements faltered due to the pain.
Taking advantage of this critical moment, Chen Changqing swept up Zhong Cheng beside him with his sleeve, retrieved his five Avatars, and used the "Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step" to create afterimages. Following the gap in the defense line torn open by the Avatars, he plunged headlong into the ten-thousand-year-old deadly black mist inside the Senluo Deathland, which even the Five Tribulations Divine Sense could not penetrate!
"Damn it! Chase after him! Notify the Netherworld Palace, that brat has broken in!"
Nangong Wudi, clutching his bleeding hand, was furious and led a large group of experts to the edge of the black mist. However, they were wary of the ancient killing formation inside the Senluo Deathland and dared not rush in recklessly. They could only follow the front passage and hurry in.
On the western side of the Senluo Deathland, in a desolate and chaotic burial ground with jagged rocks.
Chen Changqing, carrying Zhong Cheng, tore through the black mist and landed, his Divine Sense spanning 20,000 miles instantly locking onto a collapsed tomb of the Dark Moon Concubine.
Beneath the tomb, the entrance to an underground river churning with viscous, dark red blood was clearly visible, with a silver light curtain woven from countless ancient Sword Qi stretching across the entrance.
Chen Changqing pointed his fingers like a sword and casually unleashed a Sword Intent from the same source as the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique".
Buzz!
Sensing the aura of this sect's Supreme Lore, the silver light curtain parted to the sides, revealing the underground river waterway leading to the underground altar!
However, at the very moment Chen Changqing was about to step into the underground river...
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In the deepest part of the entire Senluo Deathland, Nine Netherworlds ancient Soul-Losing Bells suddenly rang out in succession, shattering the Firmament!
The earth convulsed violently, and countless bottomless blood-red fissures cracked open on the surface of the mass grave. A viscous, almost tangible, demonic aura from Foreign Races of the Upper Realm surged wildly out along the underground river!
"What's going on?! Didn't Zhong Tianba say the Ten Thousand Ghosts Worshipping Heaven Grand Sacrifice was in three days? Why are they ringing the sacrificial bell now?!"
Zhong Cheng, leaning against the rock wall, turned pale with horror.
Chen Changqing's face turned completely cold.
The Netherworld Palace clearly sensed the shattering of Gui Wuchang and Zhong Tianba's Soul Lamp, and also noticed the attack on the outer defense line. In order to prevent any unforeseen complications, this Old Devil disregarded the backlash from the incomplete formation and forcibly activated the blood sacrifice two days ahead of schedule!
Rumble--!
From the direction of the Blood Pool in the imperial mausoleum, 30,000 feet underground, a dark purple demonic pillar, a thousand feet thick and piercing through the entire Nine Netherworlds Sky, shot into the sky!
Immediately afterwards, an extremely arrogant, ancient, and sinister laugh, so loud it shook the blood-soaked underground river and created towering waves hundreds of feet high, echoed from the underground waterway:
"Ten thousand years have passed! The auspicious time has arrived. Today, let this Nine Netherworlds serve as the guide, inviting the Demon Lord's soul from the Upper Realm to seize my body and return to the mortal world!!"
"Walk!"
Without uttering a single word, Chen Changqing grabbed Zhong Cheng by the shoulder and leaped into the churning, viscous blood-filled Severed Dragon Underground River.
Three feet above their heads, the Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk cast a layer of hazy blue light, pushing back the foul-smelling and poisonous underground river of blood three zhang away.
With the "Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step" technique fully activated, Chen Changqing left a series of golden afterimages in the dark underground waterway, rushing towards a depth of 30,000 feet underground, following the direction from the towering demonic pillar!
The deeper we went, the more intense the vibrations came from the surrounding rock walls.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A series of deep, muffled heartbeats, like ancient thunder drums, emanated from the deepest part of the earth. Each beat caused the ancient granite walls on both sides of the underground river to crack and crumble. Zhong Cheng had to exert all his strength to activate the Demon- Ghost-Slaying Divine Seal between his eyebrows to protect his heart meridian, so that his blood vessels would not be ruptured by the Demon Lord's heartbeat.
After traveling thousands of miles, the narrow underground river suddenly opened up, revealing a huge white bone sluice gate built in an underground cave!
The sluice gate is hundreds of feet high, and behind it, one can vaguely see an underground Blood Sea of blood surging with towering blood waves. This is the core of the Senluo Deathland - the Blood Pool of the Dark Moon Imperial Mausoleum!
On the shallows in front of the White Bone Sluice Gate, tens of thousands of ancient Yin Soldiers, clad in the decaying heavy armor of the Yinyue Holy Dynasty, were densely stationed.
Commanding this army of Yin Soldiers were four demonic guardians of the Netherworld Palace, their bodies covered in black and purple demonic scales and surrounded by three halos of life and death Heavenly Tribulations, as well as a peak-level Netherworld beast of the fourth tribulation, the Nine Netherworlds Soul-Devouring Beast, which was the size of a small mountain and had three ferocious heads!
"The Palace Master has decreed! The grand sacrifice has begun. Guard the Dragon-Severing River sluice gate to the death! Anyone who dares to approach the Blood Pool even half a step will be killed without mercy!"
Upon hearing the sound of water breaking, the four demonic guardians, all at the Three Tribulations, turned around simultaneously and saw Chen Changqing and Zhong Cheng rushing out of the underground river. Without the slightest hesitation, the four of them raised their demonic weapons at the same time!
Roar--!
The Nine Netherworlds Soul-Devouring Beast, at the peak of the Fourth Tribulation, opened all three mouths simultaneously, spewing out three thick, black-purple soul-destroying demonic lights, each ten feet long and powerful enough to melt even the Top-grade Immortal Artifacts. Combined with the battle formation's baleful Sha Qi formed by tens of thousands of ancient Yin Soldiers, it completely sealed off the entire dark river passage!
"Zhong Cheng, go open the sluice gate. I'll handle these bastards."
Chen Changqing threw Zhong Cheng onto the side gate. Facing the three peak-level demonic lights of the fourth tribulation coming straight at him, he neither dodged nor avoided them. His vast Divine Sense, spanning 20,000 miles within his Sea of Consciousness, instantly condensed into a net!
"The Immortal-Burying Melody"!
Buzz--!
Although he did not take out the Immortal-Burying Zither, Chen Changqing's terrifying Divine Sense, which had now grown to 20,000 miles with his Twelve Primordial Spirits, stirred up a devastating tsunami of divine souls in the cave with just a single spiritual shock that evolved into an immortal killing melody!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tens of thousands of ancient Yin Soldiers at the forefront had their soul fires extinguished in swathes under the Pure Yang music that specifically countered Yin spirits. Before they could even swing their rusty swords, the entire army of Yin Soldiers collapsed and disintegrated like wheat being harvested, turning into a pile of broken bones!
