Deep within the Underworld, as the four figures fell, countless ghosts prostrated themselves. A myriad of eerie winds swept across the sky, howling through the crimson demonic land. Demonic shadows flickered throughout the six directions and eight wastelands, and the distant earth was shrouded in darkness.
Finally, a five-colored whirlwind even arose, with blood-red hair, jet-black hair, and glittering golden matter all rushing out, blotting out the Shrouding the Heavens, flying sand and stones, and all evil things surrounding a dark red imperial throne.
This throne is made of a Chaos Stone, stained with the true blood of countless gods and demons. It is decorated with thorn patterns, and one can faintly hear the weeping of fierce ghosts and the wailing of the dead. The area around the throne is vast and gloomy, with layers of leaden clouds hanging down, making it extremely eerie.
Stepping on the corpses of his predecessor, the newly enthroned Netherworld Venerable sat upon this skeletal throne, his entire body clad in Nether Iron Armor, which shimmered with a deathly demonic light under the illumination of the Taiyin. The Death War Spear and the Annihilation Heavenly Halberd slammed heavily into the Nether Earth, causing the Kunling to crack and the Imperial Chains to spread, as if opening a gate to the underworld. Demons and monsters, shadowy figures, and countless evil things emerged.
"In truth... the Queen Mother of the West's despair was too shallow, simply not enough." Su Yu's eyes gleamed with divine light, and a cold light appeared on his face, which was covered by the Nether Iron Mask.
He stroked the supreme underworld artifact in his hand, his entire body radiating demonic energy, far surpassing that of the Prison-Suppressing Emperor.
"By avoiding battle, how can one create a desperate situation? And without a desperate situation, how can one transform..."
Su Yu whispered, and two beams of true Yin light shot out from his eyes. In an instant, all ghosts were overwhelmed, and the bloody storm fell silent. All darkness was shattered by the two beams of heavenly light. The three remaining Quasi-Emperor Ninth Heaven beings in the Underworld knelt not far away, trembling with fear, feeling as if their bones were about to break.
"The new Netherworld Venerable is too powerful..." The Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall trembled, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance, and was willing to submit to this Lord of Hell.
Suddenly, a cold voice entered his ears, causing the Ghost Emperor to shiver.
" Prison-Suppressing Hall... go and steal the corpse of that Chaos Body."
This was an imperial edict, and along with it came an imperial spear imbued with the true meaning of death! It signified that the mission had to be completed.
But the difficulty is simply too high.
"That man's partner is none other than the Purple Emperor."
The Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall felt a chill run through him, as if he had stepped into an abyss. If he agreed, he would surely die. How could he possibly be a match for a contemporary emperor? Stealing her husband's corpse, the Purple Emperor would never let him go.
But he shouldn't do that, or the Nether Lord will kill him right now!
The remains of the four emperors lay there stiffly, a stark example.
Is it death, or complete annihilation of body and soul?
The Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall quickly found his answer.
"Your subordinate... obeys the order and will bring the corpse of the Chaos Body!" The Ghost Dao Quasi-Emperor was heartbroken, but on the surface, his face was as calm as water, and he resolutely agreed.
To die at the hands of the Purple Emperor, as long as the remains of the body still exist, perhaps there will be a day when the true spirit will be resurrected. But to disobey the Nether Lord is more terrifying than Eternal death.
"Snap!"
In the dim mist, the instant the demonic figure vanished, streaks of crimson lightning suddenly flashed out, exceptionally striking, their vibrant colors like bursts of fresh blood, sending chills down one's spine.
Watching the Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall resolutely leave, the other two hall masters felt a mix of sympathy and sorrow.
The good news is that a colleague has died, allowing the two to access more resources; the bad news is that the new Netherworld Venerable is too ruthless, readily ordering their deaths without any regard for reason.
In their minds, the Lord of Prison-Suppressing Hall was doomed to die on this journey!
That's a certain death sentence!
And that was indeed the case.
In the Big Dipper Star Domain, the Quasi-Emperor of the Underworld had just approached the Burial Ground when he saw the figure of the Purple Emperor guarding it.
He used multiple methods, mobilizing all his ghostly soldiers and generals, and even sending out four Quasi-Emperor corpse slaves to harass him, successfully luring the Purple Emperor out.
Taking advantage of a split second, he sneaked into the Burial Ground and used the Death Emperor Spear to conceal himself, but he still encountered the ultimate array.
Left with no other choice, he could only attempt to break through the Emperor Formation.
Purple Emperor returned midway, and a Quasi-Emperor at the ninth level of the Ghost Dao died tragically under the weight of countless Dao principles, his blood splattering across the starry sky.
"It's here; the curtain is beginning to fall."
In the Underworld, Su Yu lay on the Thorn Throne, his silver-white hair stained with Black Blood, his eyes calm, and his hand caressing a crystal-clear skull.
This is the skull of the Source God, which he crafted into a wine cup. The divine wine contained within was brewed from the Source God's royal blood.
The ghost killed his Silver-Gold Star Tree once!
Such retaliation is far from enough.
Su Yu drank the blood wine, his lips still tinged with crimson, and stood up from the Blood Throne.
The next moment, accompanied by cracks in the Yin Earth, a purple-clad empress stormed in, ready to launch a final purge.
A bloody battle for imperial power has begun.
Unlike the avoidance of war in another dimension, this time the Underworld directly confronts the strongest beings in the human world.
The outcome was naturally one-sided.
Facing Su Yu, who wielded a celestial artifact, Purple Emperor was no match at all. Even pushing his Dao power to its limit was insufficient. The two fought fiercely, destroying countless Yin lands.
In the end, Zixia was covered in blood, her hands and feet pierced by a battle sword made of the Bloodwood of the Underworld Emperor. She suffered severe injuries and escaped the Underworld at a great cost.
The enemy did not pursue her, but merely watched indifferently as the empress fled.
" The Underworld is the place where all spirits perish; you are too weak."
The black golden divine wheel stretched across the sky, its chilling demonic sound mixed with Xian Dao chains, spreading far and wide. Blood rain suddenly fell across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, accompanied by a stench of wind and thunder, while Corpse Demon and ghosts howled, making everything incredibly terrifying.
This is a death scroll unique to Su Yu, representing the ultimate despair and destruction!
For thousands of years afterward, Zixia, representing the human world, and the Netherworld Venerable, representing death, engaged in countless battles.
A hundred years after her crushing defeat, Zixia once again stormed into the Underworld. This time, she was still severely injured, but she also shattered the opponent's Death Heavenly Halberd and slightly wounded Su Yu.
The Netherworld Venerable didn't know why, but he never pursued them. Many people speculated that he was bound by some kind of restriction, unable to leave the Underworld.
And so, they would clash every few decades or centuries. Zixia made rapid progress and grew quickly, eventually becoming a match for her opponent.
She went from suffering major defeats to minor ones, gradually narrowing the gap, and her combat experience was already incredibly rich.
After thousands of years of great battles, she finally shattered the Netherworld Venerable's Nether Iron Battle Armor when she was eight thousand years old, and saw the face behind the mask.
"Long time no see." The pale yet alluring face was exactly the same as the person in her memory, which struck Zixia like a thunderbolt.
The dream path quietly descended...
Ten years had passed in the outside world. The scene of hundreds of saints gathering in the Jade Lake Sacred Land had long since disappeared. A dazzling light burst forth from the jade platform, and a tall and graceful fairy figure descended, distorting the field and compressing the heavens and earth.
All the female cultivators in Jade Lake trembled, even the Queen Mother. Her gentle expression changed drastically in an instant, and her whole body trembled as if the sky had collapsed.
"The aura of the Western Emperor is... different." An old woman's expression changed as she noticed the anomaly.
The pressure was indescribable. The imperial figure was dazzling, incredibly sacred and peaceful, but at this moment, its source contained anger, making this Dharma image resemble the River of the Underworld Styx of Death. Bright red blood was flowing beneath its feet, disrupting the tranquility of the Jade Lake Secret Realm left behind by the Queen Mother of the West.
The Immortal Tear Green Gold Pagoda trembled with countless Divine Radiance, its green glow surging, yet it did not exert any suppressive force. On the contrary, it resonated with the imperial figure in subtle ways!
"Ah!"
A sharp, long howl resounded throughout the Big Dipper. The Jade Platform shattered, the Kunling cracked, and a woman surrounded by the azure light of the Great Dao rushed out. Although she exuded an ethereal charm, she now emanated an aura of death.
At this moment, Zixia's eyes were filled with tears as she stared intently at the Kunlun land. That person had actually deceived her like this and invaded her dreams.
" Su Yu!"
This was a roar that silenced all paths, shaking the six directions and eight wastelands. Countless saints felt a sharp pain in their sea of consciousness, as if their bodies were about to explode. The imperial majesty was unstoppable.
The pale, pure energy soared straight into the sky. Zixia took a step, shattering the Void and creating a hurricane-force avenue that led directly to the Great Luo Heaven.
However, just as she stepped out of the Big Dipper, an ancient and weathered cauldron fell down, as if it contained an entire world. Zixia subconsciously attacked, her purple Dao power, comparable to Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, surged across the universe like a vast ocean, terrifying beyond measure, but it was still no match for the Source Cauldron of All Things.
With a muffled thud, she was stuffed inside.
"Receive!"
As the incantation spread, the enormous Immortal Ascension Cauldron rapidly shrank, becoming only the size of a palm, and landed in Su Yu's hand.
He weighed the weight of the cauldron and decided he should let the other party calm down first.
In the years that followed, he would either travel with his beautiful companions or practice with the incarnation of the Saint Spirit, spending almost every year in the same routine, day and night, without rest.
Time flies, years pass by, and another hundred years have gone by in the blink of an eye.
Many prodigies have broken through to the Quasi-Emperor realm. Outsiders such as Yin Tiande, Ye Fan, Southern Demon, Divine Venerable, Huang Xudao, Huo Linzi, and Jade Lake Saintess have all entered this realm.
Within Kun Court's Chaos Hall, outstanding individuals such as Dao Yi, Xiang Yufei, Wang Teng, Hua Yunfei, the Purple Mansion Holy Son, the Prince of Rebirth, Xuanming, and the Daughter of the Ruins, some of whom were Quasi-Emperor hundreds of years ago, and the latest to break through their cultivation a hundred years ago, have been deeply cultivating this field for a long time.
There are now even more Quasi-Emperor belonging to the direct line of the Chaos Hall.
Besides those Quasi-Emperor of medicinal spirits, several Semi-Divine Medicine have also entered this field.
In the Void Realm, Yan Ruyu, the Golden Heavenly Maiden, the Purple Dragon Maiden Dragon Maiden, the Purple Huo Lin'er, Yue Ling Ji Biyue Yao Xi, Yue Ling, Qi Qi Yang Yi, Yi Qingwu, Yi Lin Jia, Lin Jia, Fan Xian ( Brahma Battle Body bloodline has been revived), Qi Meng ( Supreme Immortal Body bloodline has been revived), Fairy Qing Shi ( Azure Moon Body, fused with Su Yu's disciple Azure Moon ), Ying Xue ( Sun Body bloodline has been revived), Western Bodhisattva Jue Youqing, Xin Lan (a princess of the Divine Race), Lan Qi, the Nine-Tailed Fox Maiden, Azure Jade Dragon ( Su Yu's spirit pet), Xi Ya ( the Ancient Emperor Mountain Saintess), Lu Ling ( the Golden Crow Clan's little princess, whose ancestral bloodline has been revived), and others also broke through the Heavenly Gate one after another, stepping into a new stage. Among them, a few were in a similar situation to Qin Yao, having used the Intercepting Dao method, but most of them followed the righteous path.
Of all the beauties Su Yu gathered on the Ziwei Beauty Ranking, besides Yi Qingwu, who was like a cold moon, only Lu Ling, the Golden Crow Girl, stood out after awakening her Ancestral Crow bloodline. Her aptitude and strength underwent a qualitative leap, and she entered the Quasi-Emperor. This was inseparable from the Immortal Crow Lord. If he hadn't used the Ancestral Crow True Blood, things would have been very different.
Others, such as Xiao Song, Ying Tong, Jiang Yifei, Huang Er (a descendant of the Sacred Body that Su Yu brought back from beyond the realm, whose ancestor was the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body buried on the Saint Cliff ), and Yang Xi, have risen above the Qingyun and become top experts comparable to Ye Fan, Yin Tiande, and others.
The Nine Phoenix King of the Ancient Clans has also advanced, becoming Blood Phoenix Quasi-Emperor. The Jade Spirit Race of Undying Mountain has also produced a Quasi-Emperor. Regardless of life or death, the Netherworld has seven or eight Quasi-Emperor warriors.
This Lifetime is truly extraordinary; the number of Quasi-Emperor in the world has actually broken through the hundred mark and is heading towards two hundred.
Kun Court alone has nearly eighty Quasi-Emperor, and if you include the puppets, that's a hundred emperors ruling. This is a miracle, a spectacle not even seen in the Mythological Era. This world is truly prosperous to the extreme, worthy of the title "Golden Age".
As for the Supreme- level experts, only Zixia broke through the Heavenly Abyss, and the most likely Qilin Seed, was trapped at the Quasi-Emperor Eighth Heaven, unable to break through the Imperial Heavenly Barrier.
Shi Ming and his True Phoenix Clone took another step forward, entering the Ninth Heaven of the Quasi-Emperor Realm realm. Their divine power was as vast as the sea, enough to challenge the Supreme Heavenly Heart in any other era.
Inside the Undying Mountain, Minglian, who was sitting opposite the woman in white, suddenly opened her eyes.
As a primordial spirit returned from the Ruthless Human Immortal, the Undying Mountain Lord's brilliant eyes reflected countless rays of light, which then quickly subsided. His body, which had been radiating Yuhua light, returned to its fleshy color, becoming pure white and flawless, like frost and snow.
For the past hundred years, she has been meditating with him in his sea of consciousness, and has gained much from it.
For some reason, the other party was unwilling to communicate with Su Yu, but when facing her, although still indifferent, she was sometimes willing to share a little something, clearly indicating that the woman in white was also considering the Feathered Green Gold Saint Spirit...
I've revised the last chapter and will be taking a day off today.
Many readers are dissatisfied with the latest chapter.
It has been revised; I wrote over a thousand more words.
A high-ranking leader is coming tonight, so I'm taking a day off.
Chapter 741 Discussing the Dao with the Wilderness, Obtaining the Azure Emperor's Proof
The Feathered Green Gold Path to Ascension, if fully comprehended, is in no way inferior to the Chaos Dao Fruit. It is a Tongtian.
In the ancient era, there were spirits of Immortal Gold that directly entered the True Immortal Realm ( the Seven-Colored Immortal Gold beings under Huang's command), and even Immortal King- level beings ( the Immortal Gold Daoist ) were born.
