The sun in the sky has already been obscured by the projected 'Immortal Nirvana Palace' from the Celestial Abyss, casting a sinister red across the entire firmament.

In front of the Celestial Abyss.

"What kind of demon technique are you using?"

Bai Qiuyi pushed his Primordial Pill to its limit, wielding Dragon Tiger Divine Power, Celestial Human Domain, revealing all his trump cards, and even... employing his hidden 'True Master's Sword Intention'!

These combined techniques.

Would even be able to hold back an authentic 'Fourth Step' for a while.

But to Song Chai Xin at the moment.

They had no effect whatsoever, when these various techniques invaded his body, it was as if they had disappeared into the ocean, without any echo.

All he could do was watch helplessly...

As Song Chai Xin emitted fiery red flames all over his body, seeming to become one with the 'Immortal Nirvana Palace' in the sky...

He slowly led him, step into that 'Bronze Ancient Hall'!

Before him, was an endless corridor.

"Hoo hoo hoo...!"

Strange purple-red flames of Everlasting Lamps burned beside coffins along the corridor, moving without wind, slowly enduring.

At the end of the corridor, a pitch-black mysterious pillar, carved with bizarre patterns, rose to the heavens, as if 'Buzhou Mountain spanned across heaven and earth', supporting this ancient hall.

On the mysterious pillar, chains connected, linking those dozens of coffins together.

Directly below this pillar.

A Profound Black Ancient Coffin lay horizontally, squarely at the place where Song Chai Xin, having climbed nine tiers of steps, was now presented!

This coffin, embroidered with some 'ancient script', along with peculiar patterns, blurred, as if scorched by some dark flames.

The dragon head on the coffin lid was ominous with closed eyes, seemingly waiting for the 'master' to arrive.

Bai Qiuyi felt his scalp tingling:

"Boy, how are you even more sinister than me?"

"What kind of ritual is this, am I the 'heretical demon' wanted by Great Zhao, or are you?"

Song Chai Xin rubbed his forehead, rather troubled:

"Shut up!"

His eyes glowed with eerie red, as he sharply scolded, then used a power not his own, tossing Bai Qiuyi straight into one of the coffins on his left!

"You..."

This seemingly gentle and amiable old man exclaims in shock, unable to finish his sentence before being nailed into the coffin, and in an instant, as energy was injected into the first 'coffin'...

The entire hall trembled, as if awakening from ancient 'annihilation'...

"See, you inevitably came."

A calm voice resonated from behind at this moment, causing Song Chai Xin to 'startle' and turn around!

In an instant, he saw behind the Profound Black Ancient Coffin, that pitch-black mysterious pillar supporting the entire 'Immortal Nirvana Palace'...

At some unknown time,

there appeared a phantom bound by numerous chains, sitting naked and cross-legged!

He knelt on the ground, with his head lowered.

Yet, it still sent a chill from the depths of Song Chai Xin's bones!

Bai Qiuyi continued to tremble inside the coffin, though the movement grew fainter and the mystical symbols on the coffin, instead released purple-red globes of light, slowly flowing towards the 'Immortal Nirvana True Monarch' kneeling before Song Chai Xin.

Meanwhile,

outside Black Mountain.

It seemed that a 'Primordial Pill' Martial Artist was in demise!

As Bai Qiuyi was nailed into the coffin, the ritual initiated.

As long as one was within this range.

It seemed that whenever a being perished.

The 'energy' accumulated would charge a coffin.

Watching all of this helplessly, Song Chai Xin felt increasingly troubled.

He faintly felt...as though he had become some kind of 'instrument', and whenever he exercised power, another 'divine intention' would be born within his body, inexplicably influencing him.

Obviously...

This mysterious entity known as the 'Immortal Nirvana True Monarch'.

had given him a 'one in ten thousand chance' to reverse everything.

But Song Chai Xin felt,

he had instead fallen into an even bigger 'skytrap'.

"Senior."

"What does this 'Nirvana Affiliated' ritual... mean?"

Song Chai Xin asked, looking at the Immortal Nirvana True Monarch with his head lowered.

"This monarch has told you, the condition to initiate the ritual, is your willingness to die," replied the Immortal Nirvana True Monarch.

"But I don't want to die." Song Chai Xin frowned.

"Yet knowing the cost, you communicated with the brand this monarch gave you, at that moment, you had already made the choice, hadn't you?"

"Moreover..."

"It's not that you're truly required to perish."

"In the future, you will awaken again as a 'Nirvana Affiliated', after several decades."

"At that point, you will be stronger than you are now."

"Besides..."

The bowed Immortal Nirvana True Monarch chuckled softly, waving his hand, and instantly, an 'scenario' appeared on the ground.

"Since you set foot into the 'Immortal Nirvana Palace', and made that first coffin sacrifice, you might not have noticed, but..."

"Several days have passed in the outside world."

"Do you recognize this person?"

Following the 'scenario' of the Immortal Nirvana True Monarch.

In this moment, Song Chai Xin seemed to overlook the entire Black Mountain.

Thus,

He saw ————

The newly reformed Demon Hunting Alliance had entered Black Mountain City, throwing the entire 'Black Mountain' into turmoil.

He saw,

despite the ruin of Wutong Prefecture, a few patriarchs, and sects gravely weakened, with the 'Newly Appointed Prefect' Lin Shao, yet to arrive to handle the mess.

No less than a dozen prominent, well-known Primordial Pill Martial Artists, including individuals who had cultivated 'Dragon Tiger Divine Power', bringing along disciples from their sects, along with over a thousand 'Expeditionary Army' gathered within Wutong Prefecture, had already approached Black Mountain!
