Nangong's backstab to seize the demonic fetus
Ten streams of purplish-black primordial blood dripped into the ten-thousand-foot-deep Blood Pool, and the entire Blood Sea instantly churned violently like boiling oil!
Rumble--!
The Nine Nether Earth Veins at the bottom of the Blood Pool were forcibly activated by the power that grafted the bloodlines of the Yin Moon Royal Family and the Ten Ghost Generals, causing ten bottomless, pitch-black abyss fissures to appear!
Ugh--!
A mournful and desolate ancient ox horn sounded from the deepest part of the Earth Abyss. Immediately afterwards, hundreds of thousands of elite Yin Soldiers from the Underworld, who had been deposited in the depths of the Nine Netherworlds for tens of thousands of years, transformed into ten thick torrents of black Sha Qi, roaring up from the bottom of the Blood Pool!
These ten streams of black Sha Qi energy, formed from the combined power of 100,000 Yin Soldiers, flowed directly down the tops of the ten Bloodline Ghost Spirits and into their bodies without any hesitation!
Click! Click! Click!
A series of teeth-grinding, bone-expanding sounds filled the air.
With the infusion of the essence of 100,000 Yin Soldiers, the ten Bloodline Ghost Spirits, who were originally only the height of ordinary people, rapidly expanded to a size of ten zhang in just two breaths!
Their tattered shrouds flew off completely, replaced by sets of ancient ghost general heavy armor formed from the condensed Military Sha. In their hands, each of them conjured a ferocious ghost weapon a hundred feet long— Mourning Staff, a soul-locking chain, Ghost-Slaying Blade, and Judge's Brush!
Most terrifyingly, the Heavenly Tribulation Aura behind these ten giant ghost spirits split into a third one from the original two, and their auras collectively surged, all soaring to the Peak Three-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, and even faintly touching the threshold of the Half-Step Fourth Tribulation!
The howling and wailing of 100,000 Yin Soldiers echoed within the cave, causing massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms to continuously crumble from the ceiling and crash into the Blood Pool, splashing up towering waves of blood.
At the top of the thousand-foot-high altar of white bones.
As the ten ghost spirits held off Chen Changqing, the Netherworld Palace Ming Jiutian pushed the hand seals to their limit.
On the surface of the demonic blood pillar in the center of the altar, the purplish-black demonic light pulsated violently like a heart, and with each contraction, it was accompanied by Xiaoqian's faint, painful groan.
The wisp of the Demon Lord's soul from the Upper Realm, located between Xiaoqian's brows, had now penetrated seven-tenths of its length into her Sea of Consciousness!
Bright red blood kept gushing from Xiaoqian's seven orifices. Her long hair, which had turned white due to the depletion of her vital energy, was turning into an eerie and evil purplish-black color from the roots down at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Her consciousness had been squeezed into the most remote corner of her Sea of Consciousness, a pure inch of land, and she was only kept from being completely swallowed up by the Demon Lord's main soul by the image of Chen Changqing in her mind.
"Haha! Great! That's wonderful!"
At the top of the altar, Ming Jiutian sensed the immense demonic power emanating from the demonic fetus and let out a triumphant laugh.
"Chen Changqing! The Demon Lord's possession is seven-tenths complete! In at most thirty more breaths, this girl's remnant soul will be completely erased, becoming the Demon Lord's immortal demonic body!"
"Once the Demon Lord is resurrected, not only you, but the entire Nine Netherworlds Realm and the Yang Realm will all become the Demon Lord's blood-sucking pastures!"
Thirty breaths!
Hearing Ming Jiutian's maniacal laughter and seeing Xiaoqian's long hair turning black on the altar, Chen Changqing's anger completely overwhelmed his reason.
"Form the Ten Halls of Yama Killing Formation and tear him to shreds!"
The ten ten-zhang-long ghost spirits blocking the way roared simultaneously, and the phantoms of ten ghost generals at the peak of the Three Tribulations appeared behind them. Ten giant ghost soldiers, each a hundred zhang long, tore through the void, carrying the overwhelming resentment and evil aura of a hundred thousand Yin Soldiers, sealing off all the space above Chen Changqing's head, and cleaved down!
This attack, combining the power of ten peak- Three Tribulations ghost spirits and one hundred thousand Yin Soldiers, has completely surpassed the power of an ordinary Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, enough to raze a thousand-foot mountain to the ground on the spot!
"Roll!!"
Instead of retreating, Chen Changqing advanced, and three feet above his head, the Fragment of the Creation Jade Disk suddenly appeared!
Buzz--!
A layer of bluish-green light from the Law of Time and Space descended, forcibly fixing Yin Soldier corrosive Sha Qi surrounding the ten hundred-foot-tall ghost soldiers in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Changqing actually put away the Immortal Execution Sword, letting the two hundred-foot-long Ghost-Slaying Blades on his left side slash at his left shoulder!
Clang--!
Sparks flew!
The seventh stage of the "Primordial Nine Immortal Artifact Primordial Nine-Turn Body Refining Art" allowed the immortal-grade physical body to withstand two blows that were enough to shatter a top-grade Ghost Artifact. The robe on the left shoulder was torn, leaving only two faint white marks on the exposed bronze skin!
Taking advantage of the moment when the two ghost spirits had exhausted their old power and had not yet generated new power, Chen Changqing stepped forward and grabbed the Primordial Ghost General Armor on the body of one of the ghost spirits with both hands!
"Break!"
Chen Changqing's arm muscles bulged, and the brute force of his seventh-stage physical body, weighing millions of pounds, exploded out. He ripped his hands apart violently!
Sizzle--!
The heavy armor of a Ghost General at the peak of the Three Tribulations, formed from ten thousand Underworld Yin Soldiers from the underworld, was actually torn in half by Chen Changqing's bare hands!
Before the ghost could retreat, Chen Changqing clenched his right fist, and the crimson-gold Pure Yang fist light illuminated the entire cave. He then thrust his fist horizontally towards the chests of the two ghosts in front of him!
The Heavenly Emperor Divine Fist, Third Form: Reincarnation!
Boom--!
A gray-white Reincarnation with a diameter of 100 feet suddenly took shape in front of Chen Changqing's fist, carrying the ancient imperial might that could crush all living beings, and directly crushed through the waists of the two ten-foot-tall ghost spirits!
Bang! Bang!
Two deafening explosions rang out!
Those two arrogant, Three Tribulations Ghost Spirits, along with the 20,000 Underworld Yin Soldiers attached to their bodies, had half of their bodies crushed into a sky full of black ash by this Samsara Divine Reincarnation. The purplish-black Primordial Netherworld Blood gushed out like rain, screaming as they crashed into the Blood Pool below!
One punch severely injured two combined ghost spirits!
However, before Chen Changqing could even step through the gap, the two ghost spirits whose bodies had been blasted apart rolled around in the Blood Pool. Then, a large amount of Military Sha surged out from the depths of the Blood Sea, instantly repairing their missing bodies and charging forward again without fear of death!
"It's useless! As long as you're in this Nine Netherworlds Blood Pool, the Yin Soldiers from the Earth Veins will keep coming in endlessly; they're practically immortal!"
On the altar, Ming Jiutian laughed mockingly, while the Demon Lord's main soul had already squeezed eight-tenths into Xiaoqian's brow, and the white of her left eye began to be stained with pitch-black Devil Qi!
Only twenty breaths left!
Not far away, Zhong Cheng, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Three Tribulations elders of the Nangong Family, suddenly trembled violently when the crimson-gold "Ghost-Slaying Divine Seal" between his eyebrows, which was personally passed down by his ancestor Zhong Kui, sensed the bloodline of the Underworld Yin Soldiers and ghost generals emanating from the ten ghost spirits. It conveyed an extremely strong desire to devour them!
On the main battlefield, Chen Changqing glanced at the 1.3 billion AFK Points balance on his account, then at the ten ghost spirits that had surrounded him again, and held nothing back.
Boom--!
Within their Sea of Consciousness, the Nine Great Red-Gold Primordial Spirits and the Three Great Star Primordial Spirits simultaneously ignited a boundless fighting spirit!
"The Human Emperor suppresses the heavens, burying immortals and annihilating souls!"
With his left hand, Chen Changqing manipulated the Nine Provinces Divine Dynasty's Supreme Lore, the "Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal," while with his right hand, he gently flicked his fingers in the void, unleashing a supreme sonic attack of the "Immortal-Burying Melody" from a vast expanse of Divine Sense spanning twenty thousand miles—a two-pronged attack!
Buzz--!
A magnificent, crimson-gold Human Emperor seal, which overwhelms all heavens and specifically subdues all evil spirits and demons, crashed down from nowhere!
At the same time, the celestial music of "The Immortal-Burying Melody," which specializes in attacking the soul, followed the suppressive ripples of the Human Emperor's Seal and directly entered the souls of the 100,000 Yin Soldiers within the bodies of the ten ghost spirits!
"Ahhh--!"
The Underworld Yin Soldiers were already naturally suppressed by the imperial might of the human realm. Now, they were directly hit by the "Human Emperor Heaven-Suppressing Seal" and the "Immortal-Burying Melody Immortals". The ancient ghost general's heavy armor on the bodies of the ten ghost spirits exploded with countless cracks on the spot. The souls of tens of thousands of Underworld Yin Soldiers could not withstand the sonic strangulation of the Divine Sense from 20,000 miles away. They exploded into green smoke in pieces within the ghost spirits' bodies!
The ten ghost spirits' enormous bodies shook violently, and their peak Three Tribulations aura plummeted like a flood bursting its banks!
Just as it was about to completely collapse, the first ghost Spirit Eyes, and suddenly raised its hand and slapped the ancient Nether Clan Blood Jade embedded in its chest, shattering it!
"Roar!!"
The ten ghost spirits disregarded their own lives and simultaneously abandoned their defenses, crashing into each other like ten burning black meteors. Their flesh and blood mingled wildly with the remaining Military Sha, attempting to merge on the spot into a "Hundred-Foot Netherworld King True Body" comparable to a Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, using this suicidal fusion to hold off Ming Jiutian for the last ten breaths!
Ten Bloodline Ghost Spirits, each ten feet tall, collided violently in mid-air!
Rumble--!
Large swaths of dark purple Nether Clan flesh and bone were forcibly kneaded together with the remaining 80,000 Underworld Yin Soldiers. The flesh and blood writhed and twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a colossal mountain of flesh monster, a hundred feet tall, with ten ferocious heads and twenty thick ghost arms!
A violent death aura, infinitely close to that of Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, spread out from the body of this "Hundred-Foot Netherworld King True Body" that was taking shape, completely blocking the road in front of the white bone altar!
At the top of the altar, Xiaoqian's left eye had completely transformed into a emotionless, pitch-black demonic pupil, while only her right eye retained a last shred of clarity, staring intently in Chen Changqing's direction, black blood continuously spilling from the corner of her mouth.
The Demon Lord's possession process has been forcibly pushed to eight and a half minutes!
As long as the hundred-foot-tall monster in front of her is completely fused, even if it only blocks Chen Changqing for five breaths, Xiaoqian on the altar will be completely annihilated!
"Trying to team up and block our path? Did you even get my permission?!"
Chen Changqing's body surged with Pure Yang golden flames for three zhang, and his feet moved with the "Drunken Immortal Moon-Gazing Step" technique, leaving an afterimage!
Laugh!
The space seemed to collapse under his step. Chen Changqing's figure vanished instantly, even passing through the Five Tribulations Death Qi shield that was not yet fully closed around the hundred-foot flesh mountain, and appeared like a ghost in front of the core node where the flesh and blood of the ten ghost spirits were intertwined!
There, the bloodline cores of ten ancient ghost generals are gathering together, about to merge into a true Five Tribulations Underworld King Demon Heart!
Chen Changqing raised his left hand, bent four fingers, and pointed his index finger, which shimmered with the luster of purple jade and carried the Primordial Emperor's essence that could shatter all laws of the heavens, at the ten bloodline cores that were about to merge!
The Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger!
Pfft--!
The purple-gold Emperor's Finger pierced straight in, and the flesh and fascia of the Nether Clan race, which even Four-Tribulation Ghost Immortal could not break, was as fragile as paper in front of the Destruction Principle of the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor. Five of the ten bloodline cores that were gathered together were pierced and shattered on the spot by this finger!
"Aww--!"
The merging of the hundred-foot-tall Hades' true form was interrupted by a deafening, shrill scream, and countless blood-spurting gashes exploded on the surface of the massive mountain of flesh!
Before the monster could scatter and flee, Chen Changqing had already raised the Quasi-Houtian Spirit Treasure Immortal Execution Sword, high in his right hand!
The vast Divine Sense of the Twelve Primordial Spirits spanning twenty thousand miles, the Pure Yang Immortal Essence of the nine Purple Mansions of the Late Heavenly Monarch Stage, along with the remaining Heaven-Stepping Emperor Finger Principle in the left hand, were all poured into the Immortal Execution Sword in that instant without reservation!
The Fifth Form of the Immortal Execution Sword Technique: Immortal Execution!
Clang!
A massive, grayish-white Chaos Sword Ray, thousands of feet thick, illuminating the entire underground Blood Pool cavern as bright as day, slashed fiercely from within the hundred-foot-tall true form of the Underworld King!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The next second, a straight and dazzling Pure Yang golden line appeared from the very center of the head to the soles of the feet of that hundred-foot-tall monster, which was comparable to Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal!
Boom--!
The Chaos Sword Qi exploded completely inside the monster!
The ten bloodline Bloodline Ghost Spirits nurtured by Ming Jiutian over ten thousand years, along with the eighty thousand elite Yin Soldiers of the Underworld attached to them, were cleaved into scattered gray-white ashes in mid-air by this earth-shattering sword strike, without even leaving a single mournful cry!
[Ding! Defeated ten combined Bloodline Ghost Spirits and 100,000 Underworld Yin Soldiers, gaining 200,000 AFK Points!]
[Current AFK Points Balance: 1,510,000,000 points!]
One sword strike instantly kills the combined form of ten demons!
Amidst the falling dust, ten clusters of pure, unconscious ancient ghost general essences and Nether Clan bloodlines floated in mid-air.
Seeing this, Zhong Cheng, who was fighting fiercely not far away, had a sudden inspiration and suddenly activated the crimson-gold "Ghost-Slaying Divine Seal" between his eyebrows!
Buzz--!
The divine seal engraved with the four characters "punishing evil on behalf of Heaven" flew out, transforming into a crimson vortex. In just two breaths, it absorbed all the ten unclaimed ancient ghost generals' essence and fed it back into Zhong Cheng's body!
Boom!
Zhong Cheng's wounds healed instantly, and his aura, which was originally at the early stage of the First Tribulation, surged all the way to the peak of the First Heavenly Tribulation!
Get out of here!
Zhong Cheng roared to the sky, his cleaved heavy Heavy Sword, cracked and cracked, cracked with Pure Yang divine lightning, and swept out with a single strike. He shattered the protective Tribulation Rings of the Three Tribulations Nangong Aristocratic Clan elders who were attacking him, sending them flying backward into the Blood Pool, coughing up blood!
As the ten Bloodline Ghost Spirits vanished into thin air, the path leading to the thousand-foot-tall white bone altar was completely cleared!
Chen Changqing, carrying the dripping Immortal Execution Sword, Treading the Void and transformed into Dao Gold lightning bolt, rushing straight towards Xiaoqian at the top of the altar!
"Fellow Daoist Nangong! If you don't stop him now, when will you?!"
At the top of the altar, Ming Jiutian, who was maintaining the Demon Lord's possession at the last moment, saw Chen Changqing rushing over. His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted to the side.
Upon hearing the roar, Nangong Wudi, the Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal who was originally being Avatar at the edge of the Blood Pool by two white-robed avatars using the Nine Netherworlds Yellow Springs Diagram and the Haotian Hammer, suddenly had a flash of madness and ruthlessness in his eyes!
"Get out of my way!"
Nangong Wudi bit his tongue hard, burning one- Five Tribulations his original Essence Blood at any cost!
Boom--!
The five dark gold Life-and-Death Tribulation rings exploded, unleashing a violent shockwave that forcefully pushed the two Late Heavenly Monarch Stage white-robed Avatars in front of them back thirty feet!
Having escaped his predicament, Nangong Wudi flashed across a thousand feet in an instant, rushing to the top of the White Bone Altar!
However, when faced with Chen Changqing charging towards him, this Five Tribulations Supreme Ancestor of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan not only did not step in to block him, but deliberately stepped aside by half a step!
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, Nangong Wudi suddenly pulled out a dark gold dagger about a foot long, covered with ancient divine talismans, from his sleeve. He circled around behind Ming Jiutian and plunged the dagger into the vital spot in the back of this Six-Tribulation Ghost Immortal!
Pfft--!
The Primordial God-Slaying Dagger, specifically designed to destroy protective immortal energy, tore through Ming Jiutian's Nine Dragons Nether Emperor Robe without any resistance, piercing through his back and protruding from his chest!
The ancient divine talisman on the dagger detonated simultaneously, instantly locking down the six life-and-death Heavenly Tribulation halos rotating around Ming Jiutian!
"You... Nangong Wudi, how dare you betray this Palace Master?!"
Ming Jiutian's body stiffened abruptly, and he looked down in disbelief at the tip of the dark gold dagger protruding from his chest.
"Haha! Betrayal? Ming Jiutian, do you really think our Nangong Aristocratic Clan are made of clay, fools, willing to be your Netherworld Palace's watchdogs for ten thousand years?!"
Having landed a successful blow, Nangong Wudi, twisted it violently inside Ming Jiutian's body, and let out a ferocious laugh.
"My Nangong Family ancestor deduced long ago that the wisp of the Demon Lord's soul from the Upper Realm beneath the earth, after being suppressed for ten thousand years, had long since weakened to the extreme!"
"I deliberately cooperated with you today to initiate the grand sacrifice, even at the cost of sacrificing Nangong Lie and the surrounding army, all for the moment when you exhausted your efforts and lured the Demon Lord's main soul out of the ground to reside within this girl's body!"
"Now that you are critically injured and on the verge of death, this supreme demonic fetus, which has merged the Demon Lord's main soul and the Nine Netherworlds Pure Yin Immortal Physique, should rightfully belong to my Nangong Aristocratic Clan! As long as I devour this demonic fetus, I, Nangong Wudi, can ascend to the heavens in one step, become the Nine Netherworlds Ghost Emperor, and rule over all realms!"
This sudden backstabbing left the surviving elders of the Nangong Family and the guardians of the Netherworld Palace completely dumbfounded.
Taking advantage of the perfect moment when the two were fighting amongst themselves at the top of the altar and the great formation was at a standstill, Chen Changqing stepped onto the thousand-foot-tall white bone altar, his left hand forming a claw, and directly grabbed at the nine barbed demon chains that were binding Xiaoqian!
Just then, the silt at the bottom of the Blood Pool exploded, and the eighth and ninth Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor Inheritance Tokens were fully revealed, bursting out of the water!
At the top of the altar, Ming Jiutian, whose chest was pierced by the God-Slaying Dagger, was not gushing with the purple-gold immortal blood of Six-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, but with countless tiny, black demonic insects, each the size of a grain of rice, writhing and gnawing wildly!
Instead of collapsing, Ming Jiutian slowly turned his head and gave Nangong Wudi, who was standing close by, a chilling and eerie smile:
"Old dog Nangong, this is the very thing I've been waiting for! Without your pure blood, the blood of a Five-Tribulation Ghost Immortal, how can I nourish my Demon Lord true form?!"
