When Di Xin and Bo Yi arrived at the ancient tomb, the remnants of the Yin-Shang dynasty who were guarding the tomb were already waiting there.
Dressed in ancient sacrificial robes and holding bronze ritual vessels, they all knelt and bowed to Emperor Xin upon seeing him.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Di Xin raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up, and walked straight towards the sacrificial hall deep inside the ancient tomb.

Inside the sacrificial hall,

A huge bronze cauldron stands silently, nine zhang and nine chi tall, its entire body engraved with dragon patterns and incantations from the Yin and Shang dynasties. It is the Renhuang Cauldron.

now,

The inscriptions on the body of the cauldron were emitting a dazzling golden light, and black mist was faintly swirling in the mouth of the cauldron, intertwining with the golden light to form a strange vortex.

"Your Majesty, look."

Bo Yi pointed to the Human Emperor Cauldron, "This strange phenomenon began three days ago, the day you suppressed the Netherworld Demon Lord."

Di Xin slowly walked to the front of the cauldron and placed his palm on the cauldron.

A powerful primordial force surged from the cauldron, resonating with the primordial power of the Human Emperor within his body.

at the same time,

The black mist at the mouth of the cauldron suddenly surged, transforming into a blurry human face that emitted a piercing shriek:

"Shoude! Do you think that destroying the Netherworld Demon Lord will stop the revival of the Yin Nether Clan? The ancient covenant has long been broken, and darkness will eventually shroud the Three Realms!"

"who are you?"

Di Xin's eyes sharpened, and his kingly aura surged, suppressing the black energy within the cauldron.

"who am I?"

The human face let out a strange, grotesque laugh. "I am the ancestor of the Yinming Clan, the 'Ancestor of the Netherworld' who was sealed away by your human race for 100,000 years! Back then, your Human Emperor joined forces with the ancient gods to banish my clan to the Avici Hell. Now, although the Netherworld Demon Lord is dead, the seal on the Avici Hell has been broken. My clan's million-strong army is about to return, and the Three Realms will once again become a purgatory!"

Di Xin's heart was filled with shock and disbelief. He only knew that the Yinming Clan was an evil race from ancient times, but he had no idea that there was such a secret behind them.

"An ancient covenant? Avici Hell?"

"Not bad!"

The voice of the Ancestor of the Underworld was filled with resentment and venom.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Three Realms were divided into three races: gods, humans, and the underworld. My underworld race originally lived in harmony with your human race, but your human emperor coveted my race's 'Netherfire Origin,' and joined forces with the gods to betray the alliance, slaughtering my race to the last man. The remaining race members were banished to the Avici Hell, never to be reincarnated!"

"What nonsense!"

Di Xin roared, "The Netherworld race is inherently cruel and bloodthirsty. If it weren't for your Netherworld race invading human territory and slaughtering innocent people back then, would the Human Emperor have joined forces with the gods to suppress you?"

"Hahaha! Shoude, you're nothing but a fool who's been deceived!"

The laughter of the Netherworld Ancestor grew increasingly grating.
"The truth of what happened back then has long been distorted by your human race. Now the seal of the Avici Hell has been loosened, and my army will arrive in the Three Realms in three days. At that time, I will let you see with your own eyes how your human race will be slaughtered by my race!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The black mist at the mouth of the cauldron suddenly contracted and sank back into the Emperor Cauldron. The inscriptions on the cauldron's body also returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Bo Yi's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, is...is this true?"

Di Xin frowned, his heart filled with doubt.

Although the words of the Ancestor of the Underworld sounded absurd, the details within them forced him to think deeply.

The historical records of the ancient war are indeed vague, only stating that the Underworld Clan was brutal and bloodthirsty, and that the Human Emperor, in alliance with the gods, suppressed them. But if what the Ancestor of the Underworld said is true, then what was the truth of what happened back then?
"Regardless of the truth, the Yinming Clan is about to make a comeback; this is an indisputable fact."

Di Xin said in a deep voice, "Bo Yi, pass down the order to reinforce the seal of the ancient mausoleum and closely monitor the unusual movements of the Human Emperor's Cauldron. At the same time, notify all forces in the Three Realms to gather at the South Heavenly Gate in three days to discuss the matter of resisting the Yinming Clan."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Bo Yi bowed and accepted the order, then turned and left.

Di Xin stood alone before the Emperor's Cauldron, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

he knows,
An even greater crisis is about to unfold, and behind this crisis may lie earth-shattering secrets from ancient times.

He must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, the Three Realms may truly face annihilation.

Three days later
On the South Heavenly Gate Square, forces from the three realms gathered together.

The leaders of the Chan Sect, Buddhism, the Demon Realm, and the Heavenly Court stood in the center of the square, their expressions solemn.

Below the square,

Countless cultivators, demon soldiers, and heavenly soldiers and generals stood ready, their momentum overwhelming.

Emperor Xin, dressed in a black dragon robe, stood on a high platform, looking down at the people of the Three Realms below.

"Gentlemen, I have gathered you all here today to tell you something."

His voice echoed throughout the entire South Heavenly Gate.

“Three days ago, I sensed the aura of the Yinming Clan’s ancestor, the Old Ancestor Mingyuan, within the Human Emperor Cauldron in the Tangyin Ancient Mausoleum. According to him, the seal of the Avici Hell has loosened, and the Yinming Clan’s million-strong army will arrive in the Three Realms in three days, attempting to overthrow our rule.”

With this remark,
The square erupted in an uproar.

"What? The Yinming Clan has a million-strong army?"

"Ancestor Mingyuan? Isn't that a figure from ancient times? How is he still alive?"

"This is troublesome. We just suppressed the Netherworld Demon Lord, and now another Netherworld Ancestor has appeared. We can't live like this anymore!"

Discussions rose and fell, and everyone's faces showed worry.

Master Qingxu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, is this true? Wasn't Ancestor Mingyuan sealed in the Avici Hell by the ancient gods long ago? How could he suddenly appear?"

"It's true."

Di Xin nodded. "The Human Emperor Cauldron is the national treasure of the Yin Shang Dynasty, carrying the aura of ancient times. The remnant soul of the Netherworld Ancestor is attached to the cauldron and is able to awaken with the help of Yin energy. His statement that the seal of the Avici Hell has loosened is probably not unfounded."

The old Buddhist monk clasped his hands together and sighed, "Amitabha, the Yinming Clan harbors deep resentment. If they were to launch an attack with a million troops, the Three Realms would likely find it difficult to withstand them."

The Azure Phoenix Fairy's eyes were resolute: "What is there to be afraid of? We were able to suppress the Netherworld Demon Lord back then, and we can also repel the Yin Nether army today! Our Demon Realm is willing to take the lead and fight the Yin Nether race to the death!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, said, "The Heavenly Court is also ready, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are ready to go into battle at any time!"

Di Xin looked at everyone, feeling slightly gratified. "Everyone, there is no need to panic. Although the Yinming Clan is powerful, we, the three realms, are of one mind, and we may not be unable to fight them."

He raised his hand and waved.
A golden light screen appeared in the center of the plaza, displaying the location of the Avici Hell and the movements of the Netherworld army.

"According to the Human Emperor Cauldron, the entrance to the Avici Hell is located in the 'Valley of the Underworld' in the western wilderness, from which the army of the Underworld will break out."

"I have ordered my men to set up a defensive line near the Valley of the Netherworld, but I alone cannot withstand an army of a million. Today, I hope that the Three Realms can once again join forces to resist the external enemy!" (End of Chapter)
