"That's... Qin Qilin! He's here too!"
"Such formidable combat power! No wonder he's a formidable opponent capable of challenging opponents of higher levels!"
"Is he going to go all out alone? That's incredibly audacious!"
Qin Qilin's valiant performance did indeed attract some attention.
"This lad is indeed remarkable; his talent is sufficient for him to join my Mystic Heaven Dao Palace."
Following Jiang Hao's gaze, Nangong Wenjian looked over and also gave a fair assessment.
"I've taken a liking to this apprentice; don't you dare try to steal him from me."
Jiang Hao smiled.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wenjian shook his head, too lazy to bother with Jiang Hao anymore.
He has only taken on two disciples so far, both of whom are prodigies specializing in Sword Dao. Their cultivation aptitude may not be as good as Qin Qilin's, but in terms of comprehension, they are definitely among the best in the Immortal Realm.
Not long after.
The Nether Sea transformed into an ancient battlefield, where countless primordial demons and Immortal Realm cultivators clashed.
Qin Qilin lived up to his reputation as a prodigy, single-handedly tearing a gap in the stalemate on the battlefield. His momentum was overwhelming, drawing gasps of astonishment from many nearby Rogue Cultivator.
However, the battlefield he chose was teeming with enemies, among whom were two particularly sinister beings.
Seeing Qin Qilin's bravery, they quietly disappeared into the shadows, one on the left and one on the right, waiting for their chance to strike.
Even Qin Qilin, after slaying numerous ancient ferocious spirits, couldn't help but feel exhausted; it seemed like he could never finish killing them all.
In fact, this scene also puzzled Lin Potian:
"These ferocious demons were imprisoned in the Reincarnation Purgatory, yet there are still so many left?"
Upon hearing this, the members of the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace expressed their confusion and bewilderment.
Logically speaking, even a Hunyuan expert who has been suppressed for many years should have experienced a decline in strength.
How come these ancient creatures are so numerous and ferocious?
Just then, a voice rang out:
"Isn't that because of that one at the very bottom of the Reincarnation Purgatory?"
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Su Ming, who had already reached the Hunyuan Realm, with an aura as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.
Accompanying him was a disciplined and extraordinary force: the Ten Nether God, the Thirty-Six Underworld Generals, and countless Yin soldiers arrayed in imposing formation.
Brother Su!
Jiang Hao nodded and asked:
"Is the person you're talking about related to the current situation?"
Everyone naturally knew that the ninth level of the Reincarnation Purgatory imprisoned an unparalleled ferocious beast, a terrifying being at the Hunyuan Wuji level, an ancient being from the same era as the Immortal Ancestor, possessing unimaginable power.
Su Ming nodded slightly to Jiang Hao and the others, his gaze sweeping over the still-flowing torrent of ferocious demons, before getting straight to the point and answering everyone's questions:
"What you all may not know is that this Reincarnation Purgatory was originally created by the Immortal Ancestor to suppress the ' Lord of Myriad Voids,' a supremely ferocious being of Chaos, and to use the power of reincarnation to erode its origin. However, unexpectedly, its existence has disrupted the balance of reincarnation in the Immortal Realm."
"However, later, when the Dao Ancestor took charge of the Heavenly Dao and restored order, he saw that although the evil creature in the prison had been suppressed, its fierce and resentful aura had condensed over time and become a hidden danger. Moreover, the power of the Lord of Myriad Voids was extremely corrosive. Even with the Purgatory Suppression Stele and the cycle of reincarnation to wear it down, its dissipated power would slowly pollute the surrounding area."
Therefore, the Dao Ancestor, with his supreme wisdom and methods, modified and utilized the seal left by the Immortal Ancestor.
Su Ming paused, and as everyone listened intently, he continued:
" The Dao Ancestor did not destroy the core of the seal. Instead, he cleverly guided the imprisoned ancient beings to passively absorb the power from the Lord of Myriad Voids while enduring the erosion of reincarnation, thus maintaining the balance of reincarnation."
"However, the drawbacks are also obvious..."
Su Ming shook his head, his tone slightly somber.
"Over the long years, instead of completely eradicating the ferocity of those ancient creatures, they have become even more savage!"
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.
It turns out that these seemingly inexhaustible and ferocious enemies had such a convoluted and dangerous reason behind them.
While the Dao Ancestor's plan was indeed far-sighted, it also sowed the seeds of today's disaster.
"So that's how it is... there's such a cause and effect involved."
Li Taiqing's gaze was deep as he looked into the depths of purgatory.
"No wonder that after they rushed out, they didn't have much desire for rational communication; they were driven more by the instinct for destruction and devastation. Moreover, there was an unsettling quality to their power. This wasn't just the result of the Devil Ancestor's instigation, but also their inherent state."
"I knew it."
Jiang Hao snorted coldly, his fighting spirit intensifying:
"Fine, since they've come out to cause trouble, let's beat them into submission first!"
"Perfect timing to test out my newly mastered Sacred Battle Art!"
Seeing Qin Qilin go up to fight the enemy, he was not willing to fall behind and directly rushed into the depths of the battlefield to fight against those Primordial Great Ferocious Beasts at the Hunyuan level.
"What a reckless brute..."
Su Ming smiled as he saw Jiang Hao had already charged in.
At this moment, Li Taiqing also asked curiously:
"Brother Su, why are the powerful figures from the Underworld here with you?"
Upon hearing Li Taiqing's question, Su Ming immediately smiled and explained, "I haven't had a chance to tell my senior brother and everyone about this yet..."
He turned to the side, displaying the powerful figures of the Underworld, and said in a serious tone:
"After my persuasion, the Nether Lord, a man of great virtue, is willing to lead the Nether God Underworld countless Yin soldiers to serve my Mystic Heaven Dao Palace, and to serve my senior brother, the Mystic Heaven Dao Venerable, as our master, to jointly resist the demonic calamity and uphold the Immortal Realm!"
These words were like another thunderbolt dropped over the battlefield.
Li Taiqing, Lin Potian, and the others all widened their eyes instantly, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Wh... what?"
Lin Potian picked at his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating from the intense battle.
Brother Su, what did you say?
" The Underworld... the entire Underworld, has submitted to our Mystic Heaven Dao Palace?"
He glanced at the calm, slightly nodding Nether God of the Underworld, then at Su Ming, and then at the massive, ghostly army of the Underworld. He felt a little overwhelmed.
He had thought that Su Ming had brought a portion of the Underworld's forces to help, but he never expected that the entire Underworld had "changed its flag and allegiance."
Li Taiqing, usually so composed, couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes gleaming.
He instantly grasped the key point, and his eyes filled with admiration and amazement as he looked at Su Ming:
"Brother Su, what brilliant methods! What a brilliant plan! You must have put a lot of thought into it!"
He knew that subduing the Underworld was not just about adding a powerful fighting force; it also meant that the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace would directly control at least half of the reincarnation authority, and its influence would extend to the Land of Reincarnation, making its strategic significance immeasurable.
Moreover, Su Ming managed to accomplish this quietly and without anyone noticing; his ingenuity is truly remarkable.
"This... hahaha."
Hearing everyone's praise, Su Ming felt a little embarrassed.
After all, he only mentioned it casually; if the Nether Lord didn't agree, he wouldn't say anything.
At this very moment.
Han Xuanji learned of Su Ming's conversation with everyone.
He hadn't paid any special attention to Su Ming before, so naturally he was unaware of this matter.
"Good heavens, even I, the master of the Mystic Heaven Dao Palace, didn't know about this."
Han Xuanji felt somewhat helpless.
You have truly ruined your teacher.
Honestly, he didn't have that kind of ulterior motive.
