Mortal: I, Li Feiyu, a cultivator of attributes!

"Have we succeeded?" Silver Soul asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Han Li did not respond, but his eyes remained vigilant. He stared intently at the spot of ashes, then scanned his surroundings. "It probably won't be that easy. It looks like they'll rise from the ashes again!"

Zhan Hun frowned, a hint of worry in his voice. "What are these wretched things made of? We can't kill them all! What if they really rise from the ashes and another wave comes..."

"Let's burn it again if another wave comes!" Silver Soul patted Han Li and War Soul on the shoulders and said without hesitation.

"As long as the three of us are together, there's no obstacle we can't overcome."

“That’s right! Kill them one by one, burn them all if they come! I don’t believe it!” War Soul echoed.

Sure enough, less than fifteen minutes later, the group of black creatures revived once again.

After a short rest, the three talents rejoined the battle.

Han Li unleashed his signature spell, sending sharp sword energies slashing towards the black creature.

Seeing that Han Li did not back down, Zhan Hun's spirits were greatly boosted. He wielded the Black Fiend Blade in his hand even more swiftly, cooperating tacitly with Han Li, and fought more and more bravely.

Just when they thought victory was in sight, the black creature suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Immediately afterwards, the ground shook again, and more black creatures emerged from underground, surrounding them.

The three sensed something was wrong, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue fighting.

Just when the three were in dire straits and didn't know what to do, a dazzling light suddenly flashed across the sky.

Then, a golden rune fell from the sky and crashed into the black swarm of creatures.

The golden runes unleashed powerful energy, instantly shattering the black creatures into pieces.

The three looked up and saw that familiar figure.

"It's Master!" Han Li was overjoyed.

"I knew that with Master around, any monster would obediently accept its death," Silver Soul said with eyes full of admiration.

Li Feiyu hovered in mid-air and slowly descended from the sky, with a person wearing a golden robe beside him.

After landing, the mysterious man's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, then he nodded slightly, "Not bad."

"These are the three apprentices I told you about," Li Feiyu introduced.

Seeing Li Feiyu's serious expression, the three of them bowed and asked the mysterious man in unison. "Greetings, senior."

"Do you know where this is? How dare you trespass? I think you don't want your lives!" the mysterious man said in a dignified voice.

Unsure whether this person was friend or foe, the three of them stood beside Li Feiyu, silently observing the situation.

Upon seeing this, Li Feiyu immediately offered an explanation.

“Fellow Daoist, we did not trespass, but entered this place by accident. We really do not know the meaning of this place. If we have offended you, please forgive us.” Li Feiyu explained calmly and respectfully.

The man in the golden robe was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Alright, ignorance is no excuse. This place was the cultivation ground of an evil cultivator in ancient times, and it hides countless dangers and evil forces. Now that you've come in, it won't be so easy for you to get out."

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry appeared on the faces of the group.

Han Li turned to look at Li Feiyu and asked in a low voice, "Master, is what he said true? Then how should we leave here?"

Li Feiyu's expression turned solemn as he turned his gaze to the man in the golden robe.

"Since you were able to appear here unharmed, you must have some knowledge of this place. Would you be so kind as to offer some guidance?"

The man in the golden robe looked at the four of them and slowly said, "This place is called the Netherworld Cave, which is the cave dwelling of the ancient evil cultivator, the Netherworld Ancestor."

"The Netherworld Ancestor?"

"Oh? Could it be that you have heard of the Ancestor's name?"

"I've only heard a little about it."

This Netherworld Ancestor was once a legendary figure who stirred up the Three Realms. His cultivation techniques were terrifying, and it was said that he specialized in devouring people's souls and stealing their cultivation techniques, thus continuously improving his strength.

It is said that he slaughtered an entire city in order to achieve the Core Formation stage, and no one in the city with spiritual roots could escape his clutches.

As he continued to break through, more and more people died, including ordinary people, rogue cultivators, and even scions of noble families and sect cultivators.

But in the end, good triumphed over evil. On the very day that the Netherworld Ancestor broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, the seven major sects joined forces to fight. In order to defeat the seven major sects, the Netherworld Ancestor did not hesitate to forcibly draw souls into his body, and finally suffered a qi deviation.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and half of the mountain was razed to the ground. In the end, the group worked together to use the Zhenyuan Cauldron to suppress the Netherworld Ancestor who had gone mad.

On the day the Netherworld Ancestor perished, the tremors were felt for miles around, and a large portion of his cave collapsed. Since then, righteous cultivators have set up a seal here, with the stone tablet at the cave entrance serving as the key to the seal.

"After the Netherworld Ancestor perished, this place was sealed. Although we don't know how you got in, if you want to leave alive, you must break the seal." (End of Chapter)
