Darkness Descends, Three Sides Vie for the Prize

Jiang Liuli's pupils suddenly contracted, and her expression became more solemn than ever before.

"Immortal Ancestor..."

"It seems your Ghost Market is determined to double-cross us?"

"Hehe, little girl, don't put it so harshly."

The Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor member chuckled dryly, extending a withered hand. "Hand over the item, and I can decide whether to spare your life."

"Even... if you're willing, I can take you as my... cough cough, as my personal disciple."

A lewd glint flashed in his eyes.

With his exceptional physique capable of cultivating both light and energy, if he could undergo a period of spiritual replenishment, his cultivation level would definitely advance even further!

"You old codger, you dare to challenge me?!"

A resolute glint flashed in Jiang Liuli's eyes!

Facing the Immortal Ancestor, she did not back down at all; instead, she took the initiative to attack!

"Giant God Transformation!"

"Boom--!"

Behind her, a towering, golden-armored, and giant-sword-wielding phantom of a goddess suddenly appeared!

"Light Illuminates the Nine Provinces! Power shatters mountains and rivers!"

With a delicate shout, she merged with the illusory image of the goddess, transforming into a golden pillar of light capable of piercing through heaven and earth, and crashed fiercely towards the Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor!

"Um??"

The expression on the face of the Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor changed slightly, and he was about to unleash his magic weapon to defend himself.

But that golden light was too fast!

It's so fast that even my mind can't keep up!

"Bang--!!!"

A deafening roar!

The protective laws of the Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor shattered instantly, and the person was violently sent flying, with a large, clear hole appearing in his chest!

"How... is this possible..."

He stared in disbelief at his chest, where Vitality was rapidly slipping away.

"I am... a member of the Immortal Ancestor..."

"Thump!"

The body fell.

Jiang Liuli also fell from the sky, panting heavily.

"We won... we won..."

However.

Just when she thought it was all over.

"Boom--!!!!"

A pressure a thousand or even ten thousand times more terrifying than that of the Withered Bone Immortal Ancestor just now descended from the heavens without warning!

The entire world instantly turned pitch black!

Countless wronged souls are roaring, and the space is completely sealed off!

"You killed my dog, and you think you can just leave?"

A cold, majestic voice, seemingly emanating from the deepest hell, resounded throughout the universe!

Immortal Venerable!!!

The once dazzling Milky Way in the sky has vanished.

Instead, there was a thick, seemingly unyielding ink.

[Seventh-Tier Immortal Artifact - Netherworld Ghost Domain]!

Within this completely sealed-off space, the golden token in Jiang Liuli's hand was now as dull and lifeless as a piece of scrap metal.

"It's useless."

The Netherworld Immortal Venerable hovered above the dark throne, his voice seemingly resounding from all directions simultaneously, carrying a mocking and icy tone.

"This place has been completely isolated by my laws. Not only can I not send messages, but even the threads of cause and effect have been severed by me. Your Giant God Heavenly Palace... cannot save you."

"You..."

Jiang Liuli's pretty face turned deathly pale. She gritted her teeth, and the [Superior Law of Light] within her body operated frantically, trying to tear apart the boundless darkness.

"Light Illuminates the Nine Provinces!"

A golden beam of light shot into the sky, attempting to pierce the heavens like a sharp sword!

However.

From the darkness, it seemed as if countless invisible hands reached out and gently touched something.

"Laugh--"

The beam of light, powerful enough to pierce through the body of Immortal Ancestor, was extinguished instantly, like a candle flickering in the wind, leaving not even a trace of smoke.

"Under the Great Dao, all laws are illusory."

The Netherworld Immortal Venerable slowly raised his hand, a wisp of pitch-black energy Entanglement his fingertips.

[The Great Dao of Darkness]!

With just a wisp of aura emanating from her, Jiang Liuli felt her vision, hearing, and even her consciousness being devoured!

Despair!

This is a crushing defeat in both realm and dimension!

"Let me go!"

With her last breath, Jiang Liuli shouted, "I can give you the fragment of the map I have! Not only that, I swear in the name of the Giant God Heavenly Palace that I will also offer a seventh-tier immortal artifact as compensation!"

"I only beg you, senior... to let me leave!"

In her view, although this map of ruins was left behind by Immortal Saint and was extremely precious, even if it contained treasures, it wouldn't be so precious to an Immortal Venerable venerable as to risk offending the Giant God Heavenly Palace by killing someone to silence them.

"A seventh-tier immortal artifact? Heh..."

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Immortal Venerable let out a low, mocking laugh.

"Little girl, do you really think I personally intervened for a mere celestial artifact?"

"You have no idea what that fragment of the map in your hand really means!"

His eyes were filled with fanaticism, and his voice became somewhat manic:

"That's no ordinary relic of Immortal Saint!"

"That is the legendary place where the ' Eight Desolations Immortal Saint,' who mastered eight Great Dao and was only one step away from becoming a Supreme Immortal Emperor, passed away!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuli's pupils contracted sharply, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

Eight Great Dao?!

The pinnacle among Advanced Immortal Saint?!

This level of inheritance is a forbidden existence that, even in the Supreme Immortal Domain, is enough to cause a bloodbath!

"If I could obtain his inheritance, I might be able to complete my Great Dao, and perhaps even... break through to the Immortal Emperor!"

The Netherworld Immortal Venerable sneered, "For this secret, I would kill anyone, not just you, but even the elders of the Giant God Heavenly Palace!"

"But..."

Jiang Liuli felt a chill run through her, but her survival instinct led her to grasp at the last straw, "This picture... only has one-third of it! Only by collecting all three can I..."

"The last one, isn't it right here?"

The Netherworld Immortal Venerable suddenly interrupted her.

His ghostly green eyes suddenly turned to a shadowy spot in the Xukong, and a sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Having watched the show for so long, fellow Daoist... shouldn't you show yourself now?"

"What?!"

Jiang Liuli was shocked and followed his gaze.

In the previously empty, dark corner, space began to distort slightly.

A young man dressed in a blue robe stepped out slowly, his hands behind his back.

He remained calm, as if the surrounding darkness, capable of swallowing everything, had no effect on him whatsoever.
