In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Sensing the impending doom, the remnant soul of the Soul-Devouring Beast began its final struggle.

It stopped attacking the three people and instead frantically contracted all the black energy, condensing it into a more solid and terrifying black sphere. On the surface of the sphere, countless painful faces roared madly. Then, it slammed into the weakest point of the sealing light shield beneath the fragment of the Samsara Mirror!
It wants to detonate part of its essence to forcibly break through the seal!
"Oh no! It's going to fight to the death!" Su Han's expression changed drastically.

"quick!"

The three dared not hesitate any longer and acted immediately.

Su Han activated the Netherworld Mark with all his might, and a dark golden beam of light shot out from his forehead, connecting with the distant fragment of the Samsara Mirror.

Lu Xueqi poured all the spiritual power of the Nine Heavens into the Tianya Divine Sword without reservation, then activated the sword's light, transforming it into a pure blue river of light that flowed towards the fragments of the Samsara Mirror along the dark golden pillar of light guided by Su Han.

Biyao moved her hands, and the Heartbreak Flower re-condensed, emitting a soft yet resilient white light, like the finest silk thread, winding around the blue river of light and pouring in together.

The three powerful forces, coordinated by the Netherworld Mark, merged perfectly and flowed continuously into the fragments of the Samsara Mirror through the invisible bridge.

Om-!
With the addition of this new force, the fragments of the Samsara Mirror emitted a long-lost clear sound, the mirror body vibrated violently, and the damaged parts on the surface began to slowly repair themselves at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The mirror shone brightly, and a golden beam of light, ten times thicker and more solid than before, shone down like a pillar of strength, striking the core of the Soul Devouring Beast's remnant soul, which was about to self-destruct!
At the same time, the damaged sealing shield was replenished with powerful energy, and the cracks on it began to heal rapidly, with the light growing brighter and brighter!

"Do not--!"

The remnant soul of the Soul-Devouring Beast let out a desperate shriek.

Its self-destruction was forcibly interrupted, and the golden pillar of light, like a red-hot iron, fiercely burned its core, purifying its resentful origin.

The black energy evaporated violently in the golden light, and countless suffering faces were relieved in the purification, turning into specks of fluorescent light and dissipating.

Its size continued to shrink, and its breath rapidly diminished.

"Reinforce the seal! Seal it back completely!" Su Han endured the pain of his divine sense almost being exhausted, maintaining the flow of power.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao gritted their teeth and squeezed out the last bit of spiritual power.

The light of the Reincarnation Mirror reached its peak, and the sealing barrier was completely repaired, even stronger than before it was damaged. Golden runes, like chains, wrapped around the half-shrunken remnant of the Soul-Devouring Beast, pressing it fiercely into the depths of the earth.

Finally, with a reluctant, gradually weakening hiss, the remnant soul of the Soul-Devouring Beast was completely resealed, leaving only a small, tightly imprisoned black shadow that rolled helplessly at the core of the seal.

The terrifying deathly aura and mad thoughts that permeated the space receded like a tide.

Although the sky was still a dim yellow, the oppressive feeling had lessened considerably.

The shattered ruins of the underworld seemed to have regained a faint glimmer of life.

The fragments of the Samsara Mirror had completed their mission. Their light gradually dimmed, and they slowly sank into the depths of the earth to continue fulfilling their duty of suppression.

The pillar of light connecting the three people also dissipated.

Pfft!
Su Han could no longer hold on, and knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his back soaked with sweat.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao were also almost exhausted, supporting themselves with their weapons. Their faces were pale, but their eyes were filled with joy and relief.

It worked!
They successfully reinforced the seal, preventing a potential catastrophe that could have engulfed humanity!

After a while, the three of them regained some strength. Su Han stood up, looked at the ruins that had returned to peace, and felt the Netherworld Mark gradually subsiding in his sea of ​​consciousness. He let out a long sigh of relief.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. The seal has just been reinforced and is still unstable. Our presence as living beings might cause interference. We should leave."

Lu Xueqi and Biyao nodded in agreement.

Su Han walked to the tightly closed bronze gate again and, with the help of the remaining power of the Netherworld Mark, slowly pushed the gate open.

Outside the gate, the road to the underworld remained unchanged, shrouded in mist, with the red spider lilies swaying silently. But the malice of those who were watching and the wandering ghosts seemed to have all hidden themselves away, no longer daring to approach this gate that symbolized the authority of the underworld.

The three stepped out of the Gates of Hell, and the heavy bronze door slowly closed behind them, once again isolating them from the ruins of the underworld.

Looking back at the majestic pass, all three felt as if they had been transported to another world.

Returning along the Road to the Underworld, the obstacles seemed to lessen considerably, perhaps because they sensed the lingering aura of the underworld on them and the merit they had just accumulated in quelling the disaster.

Finally, they saw the stone tablet they had come from, and the slightly fluctuating spatial boundary beside it.

"Let's go, go back."

As Su Han spoke, he took the lead and stepped into the ripples.

Lu Xueqi and Biyao followed closely behind.

After a slight dizziness, the three of them felt the presence of the mortal world again.

The moonlight was like water, the stars twinkled, and the night breeze carried the fragrance of grass.

They returned to the secluded valley, and the spatial fluctuations behind them gradually subsided, the entrance to the underworld completely disappearing from sight.

It all felt like a dream.

But the nearly depleted spiritual energy within their bodies, and the trace of weariness deep within their souls, clearly told them how real and dangerous their experience had just been.

"Finally... it's over." Biyao breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, her cool gaze fixed on Su Han with a hint of barely perceptible concern: "You've been the most exhausted, are you alright?"

Su Han shook his head and gave a reassuring smile: "It's alright, I'll recover in a few days. Thanks to you all this time."

If it weren't for Lu Xueqi's invincible offensive power and Biyao's impeccable support and protection, he would never have been able to successfully guide the Reincarnation Mirror fragments to reinforce the seal.

Under the moonlight, the three smiled at each other. After going through life and death, an indescribable understanding and trust flowed between their hearts.

"Now that this matter is settled, we should leave." Su Han looked towards the exit of the valley.

The crisis involving the Soul-Devouring Beasts has been temporarily averted, but the political landscape of the Qingyun Sect, the Ghost King Sect, and the entire world remains turbulent. (End of Chapter)
