Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 680 - 684: Underworld_1

"What?"

"Attack the Human Clan? Is the Hall Master planning to wage full-scale war against the Sky Sword Pavilion?"

"But wouldn't that play right into the hands of the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court?"

Upon hearing the words of the Ten Thousand Poisons Guardian, many demons were greatly shocked. A buzz of discussion erupted among them, making the hall rather noisy.

Evidently, they harbored some doubts about this order.

"Silence!"

"The Hall Master has given his orders. As his subordinates, we are to execute them without question. If anyone dares to argue further, don't blame this Guardian for being severe!"

The Ten Thousand Poisons Guardian frowned slightly and shouted.

Streams of poisonous gas erupted from his body, enveloping the entire hall and forming a poisonous domain where toxic mist churned, striking fear into the hearts of the many demons.

Instantly, the discussions ceased.

"Now that it's quiet, let's discuss the battle plan!"

Once silence fell, the Ten Thousand Poisons Guardian withdrew his poisonous domain and said calmly.

Next, the demons engaged in intense deliberations.

An hour later, two legions, each a hundred thousand strong, flew out from the Extreme Demon Mini Thousand World and disappeared into the starry sky.

These two legions were the Blood Demon Legion and the War Demon Legion.

One legion, under the command of the Heartless Guardian, flew towards the Eastern Starfield.

The other, led by the Ten Thousand Poisons Guardian, headed towards the Central Starfield.

「The Netherworld.」

Unlike the scattered myriad heavens and countless worlds, this was an independent realm. Even powerful Daluo Golden Immortals could not fathom its true extent.

In this boundless world, there were mountains hundreds of millions of zhang tall, vast and limitless lakes, and ghost cities sprawling for hundreds of millions of li...

Beyond these, there was also intrigue, slaughter, conflict, and death...

BANG!

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the Void above a certain mountain range. A ten-thousand-zhang-tall ghost gate materialized, from which immeasurable Yin Qi surged, powerful enough to suppress the cosmos, as if a terrifying existence was emerging.

"What is that?"

Within a radius of one hundred thousand li, countless ghouls and specters dwelling in the Netherworld looked up in unison, their faces filled with confusion.

Beneath the mountain range, at a depth of about one hundred thousand zhang, lay an immense space, like a world unto itself, with no end in sight.

Within this space was a black lake, exuding an extreme chill. Its waters rippled, and wisps of the purest Yin Qi, containing boundless energy, floated upon its surface.

"Such potent Yin Qi!"

Could it be that a treasure is emerging?

As a muffled sound echoed, the lake's surface exploded, and a Bone Dragon flew out. Each of its bones was like a small mountain, covered in arcane patterns and glinting with an eerie, cold white light.

It raised its draconic head. Its eyes, burning with ghastly white flames that blazed intensely, pierced through the thick rock strata to fixate on the colossal ghost gate.

Under its gaze, Jiang Ziwen slowly strode out from the ghost gate. He was dressed in royal robes and held the Seal of King Qin Guang, his expression majestic, as if he were the sovereign of the Netherworld.

BANG!

A terrifying oppressive might bore down.

Within a ten-thousand-li radius, the Yin Qi swirled, condensing into dark blossoms that danced across the sky.

In this region, countless ghouls and specters uncontrollably fell to their knees, prostrating themselves fully, like subjects paying homage to their monarch.

"This familiar aura!"

"I, King Qin Guang, have returned!"

Jiang Ziwen hovered in the air. Gazing around, he felt an overwhelming urge to throw back his head and let out a long cry to the heavens.

In the Yang Realm, the world of the living, he was Jiang Ziwen.

But now, in the Netherworld, he was King Qin Guang, one of the Ten Yama Kings of Hell.

Second seal, break!

After calming his mind, Jiang Ziwen roared inwardly. A terrifying suction force erupted from him, like a whale swallowing water, as he frantically absorbed the Yin Qi floating in the Void.

In the blink of an eye, his once-ethereal figure became incredibly solid. A faint golden gleam flickered within him, lending him an air of incomparable nobility.

About an hour later, Jiang Ziwen opened his eyes. With his hands clasped behind his back, the aura of a Taiyi Earth Immortal emanated from him, spreading into the surroundings.

Who is this person? Why is he so terrifying?

Deep underground, the Bone Dragon watched Jiang Ziwen, clad in royal robes and exuding supreme majesty. It was utterly aghast, and from the depths of its being, an urge to submit welled up.

It was as if an unseen voice was telling it: Submit! Quickly! This man shall be your master! This man shall be one of the future sovereigns of the Netherworld!

This sensation struck the Bone Dragon as utterly absurd.

It had been in the Netherworld for a million years. Although most of that time was spent cultivating in the subterranean lake, it would occasionally emerge for air. It had encountered numerous ghouls and specters, but the auras they exuded, without exception, were far inferior to Jiang Ziwen's.

Not even the City Lord of Nether Capital, a peak Taiyi Earth Immortal located a hundred thousand li away, could compare.

First, I must understand the basic situation of the Netherworld. Then, I will connect Yin and Yang and establish a Reincarnation Passage! Jiang Ziwen murmured to himself.

He could sense that the current Netherworld was vastly different from the one he had known.

In his era, at least, the Netherworld had been orderly, devoid of such rampant ghouls and specters, and he had certainly never heard of any 'Reincarnation Passage.'

I need to find a guide first!

Jiang Ziwen glanced around, his gaze eventually settling on the ground beneath. He smiled faintly and said, "A Bone Dragon at the Peak of the Profound Immortal Realm. You'll do."

This is bad!

Deep underground, as Jiang Ziwen's gaze met its own, the Bone Dragon's core trembled as if it had been targeted by Death itself.

Run!

Without hesitation, the Bone Dragon brandished its claws, tearing through the earth as it fled deeper underground.

"Suppress!"

Jiang Ziwen waved his hand. The surrounding Yin Qi instantly converged, forming a massive black palm print that shattered the rock strata and, like an eagle snatching a chick, seized the ten-thousand-zhang Bone Dragon in its grip.

"S-Senior... spare me!"

Pinned by the palm print, the Bone Dragon couldn't move. It cried out, its eyes filled with terror.

"This King has just arrived in this place and requires a mount. Are you interested?" Jiang Ziwen stated with imposing authority.

"Interested... Of course, I'm interested!"

The Bone Dragon wasn't foolish; it knew refusal was not an option. It quickly nodded, proactively offered up its soul essence, and respectfully proclaimed, "This little dragon, Ao Bai, pays respects to Master!"

Ao Bai? A surname of the Dragon Clan's direct lineage?

Jiang Ziwen was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that by casually acquiring a mount, he would end up with one from the direct lineage of the Dragon Clan.

But the Dragon Clan is sheltered by the Fortune of Heaven and Earth and possesses unending longevity. How could one end up in the Netherworld? And with such a weak cultivation base!

Ao Bai kept its head lowered and said nothing, but a flicker of killing intent surfaced in its pupils.

Jiang Ziwen didn't press further. Dissipating the palm print, he said, "Tell this King about the current state of the Netherworld."

"Reporting to Master, this one has been in secluded cultivation deep underground. All I know is that a hundred thousand li away, there is a city called Nether Capital. Its City Lord possesses a peak Taiyi Earth Immortal cultivation!" Ao Bai replied in a low rumble after organizing its thoughts.

Peak Taiyi Earth Immortal! Not too strong yet!

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Ziwen's eyes. He flew onto Ao Bai's back, a fleeting murderous intent vanishing as quickly as it appeared. "Depart. To Nether Capital!" he stated calmly.

The lord of a city should be able to provide some information. After undoing the second seal, my strength has broken through to the initial stage of Taiyi Earth Immortal. Dealing with a peak Taiyi Earth Immortal cultivator will naturally be no issue. After all, the Netherworld is my home ground.

Beneath him, a chill ran through Ao Bai's heart. It let out a long howl that shattered the gloomy clouds above, then tore through the air and departed.
