Chapter 412: Chapter 062 Netherworld Demon Cave

Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb, above the Netherworld Demon Cave.

"That kid has entered the Netherworld Demon Cave and managed to hide his presence; he thought we couldn’t detect him."

Yin Saint sneered.

As she spoke, she seemed to realize something and quickly suppressed her arrogant demeanor, becoming extremely humble.

Although she enjoyed seducing men, she did not dare to display any charm in front of the Evil King, instead becoming very restrained.

Her purpose in seducing men was to devour their Spirit, but if the man was destined not to have his Spirit devoured, she might end up being devoured instead.

Therefore, she was very wary of such people, and the Evil King was exactly one of those people.

"It’s fine, let him think he’s successfully hiding."

The Evil King’s face bore a trace of thoughtfulness; he didn’t care about the insignificant ant in front of him. Instead, he seemed to sense that the shackles he had imprinted were loosening.

"Evil King Saint, is there something wrong?"

Qian Saint noticed the Evil King’s expression change and felt uneasy, immediately asking.

And so did Chengqing, Hua Saint, and Yin Saint.

Each Saint had once been an absolute genius, naturally proud. But while they were proud, surviving to reach the Saint Realm also meant they had endured unimaginable hardship and honing, becoming extremely tactful and not caring about so-called ’dignity.’

Submitting to the strong means forgoing dignity, because only by living can one qualify to discuss dignity.

"Yes, there are unusual energy fluctuations in my Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm. It seems that Ni Chang is still not giving up!"

The Evil King said calmly.

Although his face was calm, his tone was anything but, revealing a chilling intent to kill.

"Ah... Evil King Saint, hasn’t your mighty power managed to suppress Ni Chang?"

Yin Saint exclaimed while praising the Evil King’s strength subtly.

This act of ingratiating without making a ripple naturally did not escape the Evil King’s senses. He didn’t mind, pondered for a moment, and said, "This woman has some capabilities and also a fine charm. I didn’t want to force her, just restrained her and made her willingly work for me, suppressing her man.

However, it seems now that she has discovered her man was never really under my control, so she has lifted the sealing.

Moreover, she has even started to seize control of the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

But now, I’ve lost interest in her; my interest lies in that Chengqing. Qian Saint, I, the Evil King, will take this woman. Do you have any objections?"

Qian Saint was stunned, his face somewhat stiff, but he dared not show any discontent because a slight dissatisfaction could lead to his immediate death by the Evil King’s hand.

The Evil King seemed calm, but Ni Chang’s self-removal of the seals must have angered him.

Therefore, if he was not sensible, he would be immediately killed by the Evil King.

Previously, the Evil King had held back in his attacks, but now, if the Evil King were to strike again, a Saint who had comprehended the Origin could easily slaughter several Saints of the same realm who had not, highlighting a vast chasm.

"This, this is a honor for Guardian Qing, and as her superior, I, Qian Saint, also take it as a great honor. Of course, if her father Chengqing has no objections, I naturally will have no objections either."

After being stunned by Qian Saint’s thoughts, he weighed the pros and cons and immediately bowed and showed utmost respect.

"I naturally have no objections; it’s just that I feel a bit sorry for Qian Saint."

Chengqing said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Old fox!"

Qian Saint spat disdainfully in his heart; he knew Chengqing wasn’t actually embarrassed but instead was tremendously pleased, knowing that if the Evil King married his daughter, the overt benefits to him, Chengqing, would be incredibly substantial.

"Good, you two are quite fine. Then this matter is settled. Now, let’s discuss this little ant’s problem."

Qian Saint’s gaze returned from the void, and he glanced at the entrance of the Demon Cave, then casually spoke.

"This Netherworld Demon Cave, although dangerous, is also difficult to trap a Saint, especially as it has been abandoned for many eons; many of the Ancient restrictions have weathered and decayed, no longer as powerful as before."

Yin Saint analyzed.

The Evil King nodded and said, "Even though that is the case, there’s a bit of trouble, and there’s still a risk of falling if you proceed as you are. Seeing that you’re so competent, I’ll help break that Killing Spirit for you."

The Evil King’s gaze fixed on the Netherworld Demon Cave, seemingly detecting the crucial point, and then he uttered an inexplicable statement.

Qian Saint and his companions were clearly surprised and somewhat disbelieving.

As powerful figures within the Nine Origin Sword Saint Realm, where in this world could possibly hinder them? Except perhaps within the secret realms of Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain and certain ancient restricted abysses, ordinary places simply couldn’t stop them.

Yet the Evil King had declared that there was a power here capable of leading to their demise!

Qian Saint was the first to disbelieve such a statement. If it were anyone else, he might have even scoffed, but once it came from the Evil King, even if he felt it was sheer nonsense, he had no choice but to show a semblance of belief.

Qian Saint, Chengqing, Hua Saint, and Yin Saint all felt similarly.

However, the Evil King didn’t care about their attitudes. He stepped forward into the void, and the twelve scythe shadows behind him suddenly merged into one.

"Heavenly Sword Eye, open."

As the Evil King spoke, a vertical eye suddenly opened on his forehead, revealing an eye sharp as a sword.

This eye was blood-red, sinister, and terribly frightening, as if it could see through all illusions.

At the same time, after this eye opened, the merged twelve scythes behind the Evil King unleashed a terrifying strike.

"Sword of the Mundane Ants!"

Heaven and Earth, King.

Divine, furious.

This sword carried such an aura, as if the celestial spirits above were enraged, striking down at the countless lives of the Great Thousand World.

This was a sword that devastated living beings.

This was a sword of the mundane ants.

This sword seemed to destroy heaven and earth; in one stroke, the sun and moon lost their light, and heaven and earth were ruined.

...

"Xiong Ba, I feel we should leave quickly. I have an extremely uneasy feeling brewing inside me!"

Inside the Netherworld Demon Cave, Zhou Yan’s heart suddenly tightened. In front of his eyes, a terrifying luster appeared—sparkling white like a magnificent flying snow.

This feeling was not pleasant, rather it was like the terrifying backward glance at the light before one’s death, as if in that instant, his essence, energy, and spirit suddenly became exceptionally clear.

It was a state of awareness he had never experienced so clearly before.

Zhou Yan had not thought about the Evil King coming, because after the Evil King made his move to slay the three great saints, Zhou Yan’s sensing had been invisibly severed, so he stopped paying attention.

But in just a moment, he had this terrible feeling.

And this sensing was incredibly vivid and clear, definitely the terrifying feeling of the last light before death.

Therefore, Zhou Yan immediately cried out.

At that time, Xiong Ba also broke out in cold sweat, standing frozen as if sensing something.

As Zhou Yan cried out, Xiong Ba suddenly snapped awake.

Without a second thought, it exclaimed, "OK, finally succeeded! Everything is perfect!"

As it spoke, it fiercely crushed the soul suppressing jade, and in an instant, Zhou Yan was enveloped by the light of the soul suppressing jade, appearing almost simultaneously with Xiong Ba inside a column of light.

This column of light was the suppression column from before, with endless, terrifying thunder flashing in various colors.

However, with the light of the soul suppressing jade, this column of light did not attack Zhou Yan and Xiong Ba.

"What’s happening?"

Just as Zhou Yan was about to inquire, in the next moment, a terrifying Sword Intent struck directly, a force unimaginable.

A single dark-colored Sword Intent tore through the Heavenly Vault, and immediately Zhou Yan felt his own Sword Intent being strongly suppressed, completely unable to manifest.

Not only that, Zhou Yan also felt the form of his Twelve Souls Sword trembling as if under pressure to shatter.

Zhou Yan felt a terrifying suffocation, as if his chest were being crushed by a billion-pound boulder, his body cold as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"Hiss—"

That sword struck down, the Netherworld Demon Cave shattered like a statue struck by a mountain-sized boulder, completely breaking into fragments.

The horrific energy and impact force continuously extended and struck, quickly reaching the area of the twelve-colored light columns!
