Chapter 409: Chapter 059: The So-Called ’Netherworld

"Fine, I’ll let you live a few more days."

The Evil King’s expression was cold as he scoffed.

Then, he stood still in the void, not leaving immediately, as if sensing something.

A moment later, his face twisted menacingly, "Killing each other off inside, is an affair of the Original Universe, does the Heavenly Emperor Universe intend to invade and take over the territory of the Evil King?

Dammit!"

The Evil King spoke to himself, seemingly considering the Sword Burial Ancestor Star and other respective stars of the Original Universe as already in his pocket.

The next moment, his hand suddenly extended and slapped the void, causing a figure to tremble and be shaken out from the void.

As soon as the person appeared, the Evil King’s scythe immediately slashed over.

"Whoosh—"

In an instant, a head flew off, and blood sprayed out at once.

However, the spilt blood and severed head quickly reassembled, and a figure instantly appeared on the other side.

It was a middle-aged man in green clothes whose complexion was somewhat pale, but he did not die from this attack; instead, he acted as if he was unharmed.

"Huh? You actually used a Void Body to create a False Self to withstand a fatal blow, you do have some skills."

The Evil King commented calmly.

"You are Ji Xie... Evil King Saint? Aren’t you supposed to have... "

The middle-aged man’s complexion changed drastically, looking at the Evil King’s apparition uncertainly.

"Supposed to have died? Divine Fist Saint Lee Ran doesn’t have the prowess to slaughter me; I was merely in closed-door cultivation, and now I have come out, having comprehended the Supreme Dao. Ah, I remember now, you are that arrogant Chengqing from before, with a beautiful daughter named ’Chengqing,’ you wish to marry her to Qian Saint, right?"

The Evil King said with a playful tone.

"...Yes, yes, that’s right."

Chengqing’s face showed traces of shock and unease.

"I heard from Yin Saint that your daughter possesses a ’Ming Qi’ — the ’Jade Void Blossom Core’. Offer your daughter to me, let me get a taste of the women of your lineage naturally born with twelve Tao Light Wings. It would be her honor," said the Evil King with a sinister smile.

Though he was smiling, Chengqing felt a chill all over his body and hurriedly nodded, saying, "Yes, yes, it’s her honor."

"Good, you’re sensible. Now, where are you hurrying off to? Is it because of the aura of the Ancient Blood from before?" The Evil King asked.

"Yes... This, this matter is so. Qian Saint, Hua Saint, and Yin Saint have pinpointed the origin of that Ancient Blood, we..."

Chengqing, the father of Guardian Qing, immediately explained everything in full, even revealing some details of the dealings with the Netherworld Palace.

"You truly are audacious, to even provoke the Netherworld Palace... Netherworld Palace is a formidable power in the Life and Death Netherworld Illusion Realm, where any life upon death, even if completely obliterated, will leave a wisp of Soul entering the Life and Death Netherworld Illusion Realm, creating a Netherworld Spirit imprint, which is the Death Seal, signifying a type of end.

As you know, birth is death, and death is birth. To put it another way, those who die in the real world continue to exist in the Life and Death Netherworld Illusion Realm. You must understand, in the Great Thousand World’s endless Universes, the ’Netherworld’ belongs to such powers, a world unto itself, an entire Universe! A terrifying derivation of the Heaven and Earth Dao Law!"

"Can you imagine, how dreadful this power might be?! You dare to court disaster, plotting to use one to control another, little knowing that in the end, you will likely be devoured without a trace left behind!" The Evil King mused for a moment, then furrowed his brows and said.

"Ah... this... we really have no other choice..." even as a Saint, Chengqing’s face was pale at this moment.

He didn’t know much, but now, hearing the Evil King’s detailed analysis, he immediately realized that they were simply playing with fire!

"Alright, I’ll join you in suppressing that boy first, take the Ancient Blood Origin, and then plan to suppress some of the Envoys of the Netherworld Palace, all of which can be killed.

As long as we suppress them here and devour the Netherworld Power, they will not be able to resurrect in the Life and Death Netherworld Illusion Realm."

The Evil King frowned, then stood still, waiting for a moment.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Qian Saint, Hua Saint, and Yin Saint swiftly pursued Zhou Yan and flew towards this place.

Upon their arrival, the Evil King, without saying a word, landed a scythe on each of them.

However, this time, he held back, but even so, all three were simultaneously heavily injured, nearly killed instantly.

Seeing this, not only Chengqing was terrified, but Qian Saint and the others were also horrified, and Zhou Yan’s heart also skipped a beat.

"How can the Evil King be so strong? Has he grasped the Original Dao? Do all Saints need to comprehend the Original Dao?

But I have already achieved small success in the Original Dao... Ah, damn Xiong Ba, no wonder as soon as I manifest the aura of Ancient Blood, those Saints chase after me as if they were injected with adrenaline. It turns out I have mastered the Supreme Dao that even the Saints need to ponder. This Xiong Ba, his tactics and strategies... are so cunning!"

Zhou Yan immediately thought of the real reason, so he was genuinely shocked and could not help but look up to Xiong Ba once more.

This Stinky Dog Bear was clearly feigning stupidity, but in reality, was extremely cruel, sinister, and crafty.

However, fortunately, Xiong Ba did not target him, Zhou Yan; otherwise, he might not have been able to outwit this bear’s cunning tricks.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Yan suddenly felt that perhaps these Saints were going to suffer!

...

Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

The Jie Tian Lotus Leaf is endlessly green, the Sun Reflected Lotus blooms a different kind of red.

Here, it is still beautiful, still tranquil like a kingdom out of a fairy tale.

But, this place is not Heaven.

At least, in the heart of the woman Ni Chang with a severed arm and vacant eyes, it remained so.

"They say... you died, but I have never believed it. This time, he regained his full strength and even improved further. How... How can I avenge you? I can only go all out and collaborate with the Holy Daughter."

"If you are dead, it’s an end as well, for death is far more painful than living."

"But I know, you have always been alive, watching from somewhere, right? Otherwise, why do I feel so sad every time we commemorate the day we met?"

"This time, I have laid out a death trap, and I will do my utmost to kill him. If you... can still sense this, then... please give me an answer. Can you not let go after all these years?"

The one-armed woman murmured to herself, with crystal-clear blood tears flowing from her empty eyes.

"Lord, the Channel to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb is open."

A woman in white flew over; at this moment, she possessed an aura of Breaking Dao, an atmosphere only acquired after comprehending a thread of the ’Xuan Restriction.’

"Ling He, do you doubt why I would not let you take part in the competition of the Guanghan South Mansion even though you have comprehended Xuan Restriction?" the one-armed woman in white, Ni Chang, sighed softly.

"Lord, Ling He dares not. Ling He knows that everything Lord does is for Ling He’s own good."

Ling He lowered her head and spoke respectfully.
