Ten Tailed Fox

Chapter 2162 Heading to the Underworld
Her tone was cold, with a hint of command, "Tell them not to act rashly and to await my instructions."

The Celestial Queen Cui Luan nodded, indicating that she had accepted the order. With a flash, she disappeared into the shadows of the Forbidden Palace.

Li Yulei's gaze fell again on the direction where the gambler had disappeared, and she murmured to herself, "My brother used to say that you were a genius, and it is indeed amazing. You are only one step away from becoming a top genius. You are truly a prodigy."

After saying that, she gently closed her eyes, and a vast amount of mental energy stirred within her celestial sea.

The next moment, his mental power broke through the seal and released a terrifying aura, but Li Yulei carefully suppressed it back, afraid that others would notice.

Sensing the return of her psychic power, a genuine smile finally appeared on her face: "Actually, I'm only one step away from sealing the heavens."

A starry sky somewhere.

Su Bujin, Ao Yi, and A Zheng stepped into this place and stopped.

"Is this the Primordial Realm?"

An invisible barrier loomed in and out of sight, and the first thing the three of them felt was this oppressive aura that felt like it isolated them from the universe.

The Qiyuan Realm is firmly enveloped by this invisible barrier and will never come into contact with the outside world.

"This is... a barrier?" Ao Yi said in a low voice, his tone full of surprise.

Looking at this barrier that isolates the universe, Su Bujin understood: "It is thanks to the barrier of the Sea-Stabilizing Needle that the Qiyuan Realm has been able to remain peaceful for 100,000 years. Otherwise, it would have been razed to the ground by you covetous people long ago."

"What did I do to you? I didn't participate in the Holy Rebellion back then." Ao Yi rolled his eyes at Su Bujin, then eagerly said, "Come on, let me test if this barrier is truly indestructible!"

Ao Yi then strode directly towards the barrier and attacked without hesitation.

As the demonic power within him surged forth, a vast wave of energy swept across the surrounding area, seemingly about to tear this world apart completely.

However, when his demonic power touched the edge of the barrier, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier and had no effect whatsoever.

Ao Yi increased his power, trying to forcefully tear open the barrier with his Immortal Lord realm, but the barrier remained unmoved.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ao Yi's eyes. He took a few steps back and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "An ant trying to shake a tree! This barrier is far more powerful than I imagined. In my opinion, even a master of the Heavenly Sealing Realm might not be able to break it."

Ah Zheng listened to their conversation, somewhat confused. "Gentlemen, where did you come from?"

Su Bujin and Ao Yi exchanged a glance, and then she said half-jokingly, "We two are from the future."

"The future?" Ah Zheng was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter and shook his head, saying, "You two are really joking. You say you come from the future. If you really are from the future, wouldn't you have enough means to travel through time and space? Then who in the world would be your match?"

Ao Yi remained calm, but showed some concern: "We cannot stay here for long. The Qiyuan Realm is too conspicuous. If we linger for too long, it may attract the attention of the great figures of the heavens. If we want to go back to the past, the only way is to go to Kunlun Mountain and find that spacetime rift. That is the only place that can allow us to travel through time."

However, Su Bujin's thoughts were somewhat different, and her eyes flickered slightly: "Going back to the past is certainly something we must do, but I don't intend to go directly to Kunlun Mountain." "Then what do you plan to do?" Ao Yi clearly didn't understand Su Bujin's decision.

Su Bujin shook his head: "If we go back now, we will immediately be subjected to the baptism of karmic tribulation. The karmic consequences of time and space have never easily let go of anyone who travels through time, regardless of whether that person has tried to change history."

"So, according to you, we might as well not go back?" Ao Yi asked, his eyes wide.

Su Bujin took a deep breath, his gaze gradually becoming profound. "I know the risks of going back to the past. Cause and effect are inevitable. Since we are going to die sooner or later anyway, I have a new decision. Why don't we go to the underworld together and witness this legendary battle?"

Ao Yi's eyes widened in astonishment: "The Underworld? Are you crazy! Do you know how many powerful figures have gathered for this great battle? It's no exaggeration to say that its lineup is almost as strong as the Holy Chaos. You're truly insane!"

“Such opportunities don’t come around every day.” Su Bujin’s eyes grew increasingly determined. “It’s all fate. Perhaps there really are traces of the two of us behind this mysterious war, which is second only to the Holy Rebellion.”

Su Bujin's boldness exceeded Ao Yi's expectations, but thinking about the karmic calamity that meant certain death, Ao Yi felt somewhat relieved, since no one wanted to rush to their death.

"Alright, I don't want to suffer the karmic calamity either. Let them make a scene, I'll go with them." After thinking for a moment, Ao Yi made his decision.

"By the way, how much do you know about this war?" Su Bujin asked.

Ao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Almost all the major forces in the heavens have mobilized. According to the information we have gathered over the past few days, the armies of the heavens should have already broken through the second line of star defense and are advancing towards the third line of star defense."

"The operation was so swift?" Su Bujin narrowed her eyes, surprised by the success of Zhutian's plan.

“If we really intend to go, there is one place that is most suitable.” Ao Yi smiled slightly. “At this moment, the army of the heavens should be divided into several routes to attack various races. Their rear army is stationed in the Senluo Palace, the second star defense line. There are abundant resources to supply the front line there. There are countless immortal stones and divine artifacts, and the defenses are weak.”

"Such a good thing!" Su Bujin's eyes lit up. He exchanged a glance with Ao Yi, and the two of them revealed greedy, fox-like smiles. "Since it's a golden opportunity, how can we not seize it?"

"Are you two planning to go to the underworld?" Ah Zheng suddenly asked. "We have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I have a spirit boat here, which is much faster than an ordinary spirit boat."

As he spoke, fearing he might be left behind, he immediately pulled out a palm-sized spirit boat from his sleeve with a grin.

With a flick of his finger, he created a magic seal, and the jade boat instantly expanded in the wind, transforming into a spirit boat hundreds of feet long, shimmering with light. Ancient talismans were engraved on the hull, emanating a calm and profound aura, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary vessel.

Su Bujin and Ao Yi exchanged a glance, secretly surprised, and asked, "Where did you get such a treasure?"

Ah Zheng pretended to be mysterious, patted the side of the spirit boat, and said with a hint of pride in his eyes, "This was personally bestowed upon me by the Seven-Clawed Crimson Dragon Emperor, who said that if I were to encounter danger one day, it would surely protect me."

Su Bujin chuckled, patted A-Zheng on the shoulder, and said, "In that case, I can say that I'm fortunate to have you here today."

The three then boarded the spirit boat.

Driven by A-Zheng, the boat shone brightly, pierced the sky, and instantly disappeared into the boundless heavens, heading straight for the underworld.
