Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice.

Chapter 457: The Land of Nine Netherworlds
……

"This move is very powerful, can you teach me?" Yu Liang asked expectantly.

"This is not a trick, but an ability. It is the crushing of lower-dimensional life by higher-dimensional life." The subsystem explained lightly.

"Moreover, this ability only looks magical to you. It has no effect on opponents of the same level."

Yu Liang nodded thoughtfully, his eyes lowered to the page of the scroll in his hand. He thought to himself that the gap between the class levels was much greater than he had thought before, and it was simply an insurmountable gap.

At this moment, the sky, which had originally returned to calm, suddenly changed drastically, as if a sleeping giant was suddenly awakened and let out a deafening roar.

Yu Liang couldn't help but raise his head, and saw the curtain of night suddenly fall, swallowing up all the noise of the day.

The bright stars, like gems inlaid in the sky, flash with dazzling and mysterious light. They seem to have their own will, telling the mysteries of the universe in a silent language.

Feeling the pressure coming from above as if the sky was falling, the light scattered from the stars was like a draped curtain, hanging down from nothingness. Each ray was like a sharp ray, ruthlessly destroying the earth, making every inch of land shine, but full of irresistible destructive power.

Along with the shining starlight, the stars seemed to be connected by invisible threads. A phantom slowly emerged on the curtain of the night, like a magnificent picture of the Immortal King visiting the Nine Provinces, majestic and mysterious, revealing an aura that transcended the mortal world.

That phantom contained endless majesty and power, as if it could overlook all living beings and judge everything.

"This isn't coming for me!"

Yu Liang looked at this amazing scene and couldn't help feeling uneasy.

However, after a moment's thought, he realized that this earth-shaking battle was obviously not aimed at a mere mortal like him.

The ground began to churn violently, and the wind was like a roaring beast, sweeping wildly, and yellow sand filled the sky, blocking out the sun. The underground fire was unwilling to be lonely, and it spewed out, and thick black smoke rushed straight into the sky...

Six legs and four wings, a bird's body and a human face, covered with golden scales, and wings on its shoulders...

In this chaotic scene, twelve images of the Ancestral Witches in various shapes and forms slowly emerged.

They stood in a row, like an indestructible barrier, forming a sharp confrontation with the phantom in the sky.

The shadow above the stars gradually became clearer. It was an immortal emperor-like being—Donghuang.

He was dressed in luxurious clothes, with a jade crown on his head, and held a long sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing straight down, as if he was going to cut the sky and earth in half and divide yin and yang with one sword.

His eyes revealed indifference and arrogance, a look that was detached from the mundane world, as if in his eyes, the Ancestral Witch's Dharma image below was nothing but an insignificant ant, and could not be compared with him, the high and mighty Immortal Emperor.

"Oh my goodness, this is going to be a war between wizards and liches. I can't afford to offend them. I have to get away as soon as possible to avoid being implicated."

Yu Liang muttered to himself, not wanting to stop and watch this epic battle. He was eager to find a safe haven, away from this desolate land that was about to become a battlefield.

However, looking around, he found that there seemed to be nowhere to hide in this vast world.

"Forget it. The only option now is to go deeper underground."

Yu Liang made up his mind and decided to escape to the depths of the earth.

He first found a crack in the ground and jumped in without hesitation. Then he turned into a drill-like figure and continued to drill deep into the ground.

As the depth increased, Yu Liang felt the surrounding environment became increasingly cold.

The bone-chilling feeling not only corroded his body, but even his thoughts and consciousness seemed to be affected by the extreme cold and began to slow down.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Should this be deep enough now?"

Just as Yu Liang was about to stop, there was a sudden loud bang, and he seemed to have penetrated an invisible barrier and fell suddenly into an open area.

"Where is this?"

Yu Liang was startled, then he became alert and began to explore the situation around him.

He found that the world here seemed completely upside down from the world on earth, one facing up and the other facing down.

Looking up, there was no shining star, sun or moon in the sky, but a dark sky, forming a deep vortex. Yu Liang only took one more look, and felt as if his soul was being sucked into it. He quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look any further.

Looking around again, Yu Liang discovered that the ground was covered with a layer of unknown moss, emitting a faint fluorescence, adding a touch of mystery to this dark world.

Not far away, a shadow suddenly flashed and wandered over, then disappeared, making the scene even more eerie.

Based on the information he had discovered, Yu Liang couldn't help but have a guess in his mind: "Could this be the legendary Nine Netherworld?"

Explore forward carefully.

I had not walked far when the black soil beneath my feet began to shake slightly.

Yu Liang immediately took a few steps back, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

The black soil was arched up and a small crack appeared, and a shriveled and hardened figure of a strange beast crawled out tremblingly.

"Huh? This is... a zombie?"

Yu Liang looked at the figure and couldn't help but move forward cautiously.

The shrunken body of the alien zombie was still moving tremblingly, but when Yu Liang approached a certain distance, a small ball of fluorescence suddenly ignited in its empty black eye sockets. The whole body seemed to be injected with vitality, and suddenly burst out with amazing strength and speed, and suddenly pounced on Yu Liang.

Aiya, I go!

Yu Liang's heart trembled and he reacted quickly. He flashed and leaped to the side nimbly, avoiding the zombie's sudden attack.

He steadied himself and looked at the zombie with serious eyes.

The zombie missed its target and fell to the ground with a dull sound.

There was a fluorescent glow in the dark eye sockets, revealing a fierce aura.

He adjusted the direction again and rushed towards Yu Liang tremblingly but quickly.

"Fuck you!"

Yu Liang raised his foot and kicked him away.

The zombie fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and rolled several times. Its already shriveled body became even more fragmented, as if a gust of wind could blow it apart.

But the zombie's body made a few teeth-grinding "crackling" sounds, like a rotten old tree struggling in the wind and rain, and stood up tremblingly. Although its body became more hunched and its steps became more staggering, it still moved towards Yu Liang step by step.

Hmm? Yu Liang frowned slightly.

Just when the zombie got close to Yu Liang to a certain distance, amazing power burst out from its body again and pounced towards him at an extremely fast speed.

He stepped back slightly to dodge.

He noticed that the zombie seemed to only burst out with power when it was within a certain distance, as if it was subject to some kind of restriction or trigger mechanism.

He deliberately slowed down his pace to lure the zombie closer again. When the power in its body began to surge and was ready to attack, Yu Liang suddenly accelerated. Instead of running away, he rushed straight towards the zombie, aiming directly at a strange pattern on its shriveled body, a detail he had not noticed before.

"Let's go!"

Yu Liang growled and slapped the pattern hard.

Just listen to a muffled "bang" sound.

The zombie's body seemed to have lost all its support and instantly fell to the ground, without any sign of life.
