I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

On the battle platform.

The Black Water Cloud Vortex and Bone Sand Storm, two of the three calamities and nine tribulations of the soul, appeared one after another.

Both of these are somewhat abstract in appearance.

Soul Calamity Black Water Vortex is a man whose entire body is shrouded in black water, and whose skin resembles the skin of some kind of large black fish.

Its exterior was shrouded in a black mist, and it was constantly dripping some kind of viscous, pitch-black venom.

Despite the numerous protective arrays surrounding the battle platform, the jet-black venom still unleashed tremendous power.

The jet-black viscous liquid, containing potent toxins, immediately causes extensive corrosion of the battle platform upon dripping, then activates the protective array patterns on the platform, releasing protective power to prevent the platform from being completely rotten.

This also shows just how exaggerated the poisonous power of the Soul Calamity Black Water Vortex truly is.

As for the black mist that lingers on the body, that's even more mysterious.

The Black Water Vortex appeared to be in its true form, but in reality, it seemed to be constantly swirling in an endless ocean of poison.

As for the Soul Calamity Bone Sand Storm, it is similar in temperament, but it is a man who is always shrouded in a bone sand tornado.

His frame was as light as a feather, and his tattered black clothes fluttered in the wind as if he were wearing a cloak of wind.

As for its eyes, they were also two vortexes, seemingly capable of absorbing all souls through these vortexes.

These powerful beings in the mortal realm originally thought that the Soul Calamity Bone Sand Storm and the Black Water Cloud Vortex would hate them, these beings from the mortal realm.

Unexpectedly, they saw no hatred in either of their eyes.

Bone Sand Storm: "This era is much shorter than any of us could have imagined. I must thank you. Without you, we don't know how long it would have taken for the final devouring of the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters."

Blackwater Vortex: "It is also because of your existence that we, the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters, finally have a glimmer of hope to be able to eat at the table, instead of being dragged on until the end of the era and then swallowed up by the eternal ruins."

The many deities in the mortal realm remained expressionless, offering no response to the two's words about "grand vision."

Whether their words were sincere or not, in the end, it all comes down to strength.

The winner takes all, and the survivor takes all!
Therefore, the response to the Bone Sand Storm was a "friendly greeting" from the powerful beings in the mortal realm.

The Venerable Guanghan made the first move, and a blood moon rose from above her head, its crimson light instantly covering the battle stage.

At the same time as the Venerable Guanghan made his move, it was none other than the Demon Lord of the Moon Demon Sect, Moon Demon.

Previously, when Zhong Lixiao led his forces to kill "Azure Blood Moon," one of the three calamities of the Soul Calamity, the Guanghan Venerable and the Moon Demon joined forces to divide Azure Blood Moon among themselves.

The Venerable Guanghan obtained its physical body, and the Moon Demon obtained its divine soul.

Now the two have reunited. Although their power has dropped by more than one level compared to the original "Azure Blood Moon," one of the Three Calamities, the essence of the soul calamity remains, and its power is still quite astonishing.

In addition, other powerful beings in the mortal realm who benefited from the Nine Tribulations of Soul Calamity did not hesitate at all and immediately activated the combination and formation modes.

For example, the Corpse Demon Emperor and the Yin Demon Emperor joined forces once again to recreate the Soul Calamity and Bone Thunder.

The Mysterious Demon Elder and the Unborn Ancestor recreated the Soul Calamity Ghost Face Miasma.

The Mirror Abyss Demon Emperor and the Sword Madman recreated the Soul Calamity Thousand-Eyed Wind.
These venerable beings from the mortal realm, led by the Venerable Guanghan and the Moon Demon, formed the "One Calamity and Nine Disasters" formation.

Their auras instantly blended together, aided by the ominous and murderous intent of the calamity within the Nine Calamities.

Clearly, even without Zhong Lixiao's guidance, these powerful figures in the mortal realm had exhausted their wisdom and fully utilized their initiative.

They had even fully considered joining forces to first eliminate the Soul Calamity Blackwater Vortex and the Bone Sand Storm, and then dividing the spoils among themselves.

Of course, they must also know that it is highly unlikely that they can turn around and crush the Blackwater Vortex and Bone Sand Storm with just these scraps of knowledge.

Therefore, these venerable beings in the mortal realm exhausted their wisdom and made the most of their advantages.

With the Stone Embryo Armor buffing them, they immediately activated their strongest "Moral Affinity" mode.

Each side immediately unleashed their trump cards, holding nothing back and making no attempt to wage a protracted war.

Put yourself to death and survive!
For example, the Venerable Guanghan immediately activated the Taiyin Treasure Mirror upon first use.

This treasure was crafted by a powerful figure from the Guanghan Palace, which shares the same lineage as the Guanghan Immortal Mansion, and once contained an astonishing curse.

Once used, it will immediately bring terrible misfortune and bad luck to the user and even those around them.

Even so, the Venerable Guanghan still carried it with him on his journey to the underworld, using it as a protective charm, which shows the power of this treasure.

Moreover, not long ago, Jin had washed away all the ominousness and curse from this treasure, completely eliminating any remaining concerns.

As for Venerable Chonghua, it was similar.

The Nine Dragon Furnace slammed open, unleashing nine roaring fire dragons that instantly annihilated everything in their path.

Sword Madman, Beggar-Clad Immortal, Scarlet Tribulation Fallen Immortal, Heavenly Sovereign.
Every single one of them poured all their magical power, life and death, and future into this single strike.

At that moment, not only those on the battle stage, but also the Underworld Lords sitting below, narrowed their eyes slightly.

In Zhong Lixiao's eyes, he saw that the auras of these powerful beings in the mortal realm were intertwined and formed a unified whole.

Enveloped in the Great Array of One Calamity and Nine Tribulations, their combined power was ultimately released through the Soul Calamity "Azure Blood Moon".

Frost, raging fire, blade's edge, deadly poison, decay.
The power is extremely complex, yet strangely possesses a certain order.

One white and one red, one yin and one yang, one life and one death, like a yin-yang millstone, intending to completely grind away the bone sand storm and the black water cloud vortex.

They came right off the bat with a decisive move, without any unnecessary words!

Upon seeing this, the Bone Sand Storm and the Black Water Vortex also became extremely solemn, and instantly they merged with their respective Daos.

The vortex tornado in the Bone Sand Storm's eye socket instantly expanded and swept away from his eye socket.

The originally light and airy "skeleton" then disintegrated and merged into the vortex tornado.

What was originally just wind suddenly became mixed with a massive amount of coarse, bony sand.

When these two are combined, they immediately seem to possess the power to cover, sweep away, and conceal everything.

at the same time.

The Black Water Vortex also had a similar operation; it was like the black skin of a large black fish, which instantly disintegrated.

Like thick ink, it was spilled onto the battle platform and then began to multiply wildly.

The Black Water Vortex and the Bone Sand Storm, on this basis, did indeed merge again.

The wind amplifies the water's force, and the water borrows the wind's power.

The bone sand storm was above, and the black water cloud vortex was below, seemingly about to completely sweep over and cover the entire battle platform.

These two immediately collided with the Yin-Yang Moonlight Millstone released by Venerable Guanghan and others through the "One Calamity and Nine Tribulations Formation".

A massive, frost-red millstone relentlessly crushed and obliterated the storm of bone sand and the vortex of black water.

Rumble!
Where the two collide, divine waves surged to the heavens, flames and ice surged like the sea, creating a magnificent and overwhelming spectacle.

Sometimes the crimson and frost-like moonlight annihilated everything, and sometimes the power of the bone sand storm and the black water cloud vortex strangled and destroyed everything.

The battle was a decisive one; blood gushed out, and white, shattered bones splattered everywhere, the fighting immediately reaching its most brutal state.

Not to mention the physical bodies of all those involved, even their "Dao" (the Way) seemed destined to be obliterated as a result.

Puff puff!
The bodies of powerful figures in the mortal realm, such as the Venerable Guanghan, were instantly torn open with huge gashes, blood and flesh splattered, and bones shattered.

Many even had their internal organs instantly torn to pieces.

It should be noted that this was under the protection of the Stone Embryo Battle Armor and the power of the Great Dao of the Underworld Lord.

If it weren't for these protective forces, these venerable beings of the mortal realm might have suffered heavy casualties.

You can even see that at the center of the "One Calamity and Nine Disasters Formation", Granny Green Calyx has directly transformed into a Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree.

The roots of the flowering tree took hold of the earth, and its branches frantically wrapped around every Nascent Soul cultivator within the great formation.

To put it bluntly, the true form of the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree, which Granny Green Calyx transformed into, is precisely the key link that allows the One Calamity Nine Disasters Formation to be maintained.

But this very important link was broken in this collision, with all its branches and leaves falling off.

The numerous flower branches, roots, and vines suffered unimaginable and horrific destruction immediately.

If it weren't for Granny Green Calyx's true form, which was still present on the bodies of all the Nascent Soul Venerables, and simultaneously covered by the stone embryo battle armor given to them by Zhong Lixiao and a strange and mysterious pure aura, they might all have been poisoned to death by the Black Water Vortex's deadly poison in this one round of battle alone.

but.

That's how great battles are; if the Blackwater Cloud Vortex fails to poison all the powerful beings of the mortal realm instantly, they will naturally gain a "victory point."

The dilapidated Nine Luminaries Mystic Sky Flower Tree struggled to shake its roots and branches, yet it continuously connected everyone's magical power and aura, maintaining the existence of the great formation.

Meanwhile, the Guanghan Venerable and his companions, who were also badly wounded and in a terrible state but were still alive, launched another desperate charge.

The frost-red blood moon, which had just been nearly obliterated, reappeared. Although its aura and solidity were far inferior to the first "Yin-Yang Millstone," its power and might were still astonishing.

Rumble!
The Yin-Yang millstone pressed down, colliding fiercely with the black water cloud vortex and bone sand storm once again.

This caught the two, who had originally relied on the deadly poison of the Blackwater Cloud Vortex to win, completely off guard.

All the powerful beings in the mortal realm know that they must now work together and risk their lives to fight for it. How could they not know about the Bone Sand Storm and the Black Water Vortex?
Bone Sand Storm went completely berserk, no longer concealing its true form, and unleashed all its power to the limit.

The Bone Sand Storm is going all out!
Bone Sand Storm is a half-step Netherworld Lord, and one of its greatest advantages is that it can merge with the Great Dao.

In this respect, compared to the Dao Lord, they are only missing that final crucial step.

Once they can take that crucial step, their true form will become the Great Dao they have merged with, and their physical body will become the personification of the Great Dao they have proven.

As long as the Dao persists, their bodies will never perish.

Even if their Dao power is severely damaged, in most cases they will simply fall into a deep sleep.

A true embodiment of the concept of living as long as heaven and earth!

Bone Sand Storm is now just one final, ultimate leap away, although taking that step will be incredibly difficult.

but.

At this final crucial crossroads, Bone Sand Storm relinquished its greatest advantage as a half-step Underworld Lord.

Then, the most brutal clashes and confrontations began once again.

The Bone Sand Storm itself was instantly crushed into a pulp.

At the same time, powerful figures in the mortal realm such as Venerable Guanghan, Venerable Chonghua, Buddha Baoguang, and Buddha Vajra Indestructible also experienced their physical bodies collapse instantly.

At this moment, the battle arena transformed into the bloodiest and most brutal hell.

Even powerful figures like Zhong Lixiao, who were at the level of the Underworld Lord, couldn't help but widen their eyes at this moment.

Even for them, the ferocity of this battle was definitely among the worst.

However, the great battle on the battleground was not yet completely over.

Although their physical bodies have been destroyed and annihilated, their divine souls, nascent souls, and especially the Great Dao of Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations that they merged with are all still intact.

The powerful forces in the mortal realm were so badly scattered that they were no longer able to form an array.

Not long ago, the Yin-Yang Millstone, which was constructed in a similar manner to the "One Calamity and Nine Disasters Formation," could no longer be used.

Therefore, they could only manipulate the calamity symbols of the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters that they had merged with to kill and seize.

The same reason.

The Blackwater Vortex and Bone Sand Storm, which also collapsed, suffered heavy damage and could only hastily use their primordial spirits to control their calamity symbols in response.

In a short time, these symbols of calamity were once again locked in a fierce battle.

The intensity of the war suddenly dropped several levels, and all that could be seen were a few clusters of primordial spirits tearing each other apart.

However, the extent of the tragedy was not diminished in the slightest.

Even for Zhong Lixiao, what he was witnessing was the most brutal struggle for power.

It was not only their own will, but also the continuous exertion of the power of the Great Dao, which was at the level of the Underworld Lords standing behind them.

Take the powerful figures in the mortal realm as an example; their souls are always shrouded in a layer of stone-clad battle armor and profound, pure energy.

As for the indestructible bone chains that surround them, they continuously provide them with the power of immortality and repair.

As for the Black Water Vortex and the Bone Sand Storm, their souls were continuously supported by the Dao power of the Non-War Faction Underworld Lord.

The Netherworld Mist of the Nether Dragon Supreme, the pitch-black Netherworld Tide of Gao Jiuji, and the Dao of Annihilation of the Five Senses of the Blind Master of Annihilation
Too tragic!

Those Nascent Soul cultivators who had not yet integrated the symbols of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations were the first to be swallowed up by the black water vortex and bone sand storm.

Because of Zhong Lixiao's Stone Embryo Battle Armor and Undying Bones protecting them, although they could not be completely digested in a short time, after being devoured, they were almost no different from those who had perished.

Then, it was as if this led to the creation of the Snake game.

You eat me, I eat you.

At this moment, the cruel laws of "survival of the fittest" and "the strong preying on the weak" were being fully demonstrated on the battle stage.

All moral pretense has been completely stripped away, leaving everything naked!

Because of the Stone Embryo Battle Armor and the Mysterious Pure Qi, the Black Water Vortex's deadly poison lost its advantage first.

The primordial spirits of these powerful beings in the mortal realm took it as a weak point, and concentrated their attacks on and devoured it.

Bone Sand Storm is fully committed to maintaining the balance of power.

Then, the battle entered a very strange balance once again.

The powerful beings of the mortal realm watched as the black water cloud vortex devoured the creature, while the bone sand storm provided support.

However, if the Bone Sand Storm becomes too strong, the Black Water Cloud Vortex will also cooperate tacitly, letting the powerful beings of the mortal realm devour part of the Bone Sand Storm, thus maintaining a certain balance once again.

This brutal battle of devouring has once again maintained a bizarre dynamic balance through this method.

However, once too much of one's soul is consumed, one's intelligence will inevitably decline.

With so many powerful figures in the mortal realm, it's inevitable that weaknesses will emerge.

If the balance is not properly maintained, the Bone Sand Storm will grow stronger and stronger after it devours the Yin Demon Emperor's soul and the calamity intent of the Bone Thunder he fused with.

The powerful forces in the mortal realm wanted to encircle and annihilate them, but it was already too late.

Because he then took advantage of the situation and directly swallowed his accomplice, Blackwater Cloud Vortex.

Despite severe indigestion, Bone Sand Storm eventually grew into a dominant force, even achieving a monopoly.

Then comes the final hunt of the Bone Sand Storm.

The powerful forces of the mortal realm were utterly powerless to resist!
The non-combat faction underworld lords, such as the Blind Master of Annihilation, the Supreme Nether Dragon, and the Emperor of Return to the Void, were all beaming with excitement.

Bone Sand Storm's victory also means that he will completely integrate all the meanings of the "Three Calamities and Nine Disasters" into one, and ultimately be completely sublimated into the Lord of Calamities.

Most importantly, it was these pacifists who won.

In this era, the peace of their underworld was ultimately preserved!
Although this way of winning is too brutal, everyone has to die eventually, so what difference does it make whether you die sooner or later?
Perhaps, by living in the shadow of the "Lord of Calamity and Underworld," they can also obtain some alternative form of immortality.

That's right!

This is what makes the path of the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters so special: death and being swallowed up are not the end.

On the battle stage, only the Bone Sand Storm, which was extremely small in size, looked particularly faint, and was also unusually deformed and ugly, remained.

Clearly, he paid a heavy price for this battle.

but.

In the midst of the great battle of mutual devouring among the three calamities and nine tribulations, he ultimately had the last laugh!
Now, even the underworld lords won't stop him from becoming an underworld lord.

But in the next instant, Bone Sand Storm's face suddenly froze.

Suddenly, a large number of densely packed objects protruded from his soul, as if countless snakes and insects were churning inside him.

"Oh no."

With a scream, the Bone Sand Storm's soul immediately collapsed.

The next instant, a large number of snakes and insects crawled out from his seven orifices and even from various parts of his body.

The sight sent chills down the spines of everyone present, and some even experienced a phobia of trypophobia!

Even the rotten monk felt an unbearable itching and nausea all over his body.

Although he had lived peacefully with these "lion worms" for countless years, once he got rid of them, the rotten monk never wanted to be associated with these disgusting lion worms again.

Even the Rotting Monk, the original host of the Lion Insect, reacted this way, so the reactions of the other Lords of the Underworld are even more telling.

Soon after, the Bone Sand Storm, which had just been the big winner, had its soul riddled with holes by the Lion Insects.

Then, a withered tree, similarly riddled with holes, with a broken trunk and crippled roots, appeared before everyone's eyes.

It was none other than the true form of Granny Green Calyx's Mysterious Nine Luminaries Flower Tree!
If one did not know the origins of Granny Green Calyx, and only looked at these broken and withered tree roots, one might mistake it for a useless, rotten tree.

Even more incredibly, the group discovered that several faint soul shadows were appearing on the few remaining sections of the withered tree trunk.

They were none other than the illusory souls of many powerful beings in the mortal realm who had already refined the "One Calamity and Nine Tribulations"!

Its breath was so faint that it was practically at the level of a lamp running out of oil, ready to be extinguished with a single breath.

but.

They continued to hold on, relying on the mysterious, clear light emanating from their bodies.

They used the remaining trunk of the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree to form the "One Calamity, Nine Tribulations Great Array" once again, thereby devouring the calamity of the Bone Sand Storm and the Black Water Cloud Vortex that it had swallowed.

The reversal was so swift that it caught the non-combatant Underworld Lords, such as the Emperor of Guixu, completely off guard.

Looking at the numerous remnant souls that barely survived by clinging to the trunk of the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree, the mysterious and clear light still shrouding their remnant souls, and the countless lion worms swirling around the remaining branches of the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree.
Although the Netherworld Lords, including the Nether Dragon Supreme, were extremely unwilling, they knew that their defeat was not unjust.

Fortresses are always breached from within!

Who would have thought that a lion-like insect, rotten to the core, could be tamed?

Bone Sand Storm and Black Water Vortex—whoever has the last laugh will have to face the destruction caused by this decaying force from within.

As for that unusually mysterious clear light, it seems to be a blessing from the mysterious girl Jin.

So mysterious!

From beginning to end, this beam of light seemed to have no offensive power whatsoever.

But its protective power is simply too strong!

The Grand Master of Fate's erroneous pronouncements were hard to believe for a moment.

"The internal decay power of the Lion Insect is one thing, although it is somewhat unsolvable. But the Bone Sand Storm is ultimately supported by the power of the Netherworld forces. As long as it holds on for a certain period of time without collapsing, the internal decay power is not impossible to overcome."

"The key is that mysterious and clear light. All the Nascent Soul cultivators in the mortal realm who had been devoured still had a wisp of their divine souls that remained intact in the end."

"After the Bone Sand Storm devoured them all, it ironically allowed them to successfully construct the 'One Calamity, Nine Tribulations' formation once again within its own belly, relying on the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree. What a cruel twist of fate!"

Although the other Hades were extremely unwilling, they had to admit that they had ultimately lost this round.

He didn't lose to Zhong Lixiao, but to that mysterious girl, Jin!

Who exactly is she?!

The Blind Master of Annihilation said listlessly, "A bet is a bet. Although I still feel that we shouldn't have fought against the heavens again and brought the flames of the final calamity to the underworld, a loss is a loss. So let you do as you please, alas!"

"Time will eventually prove that your disregard for the advice of the elders will ultimately bring immense disaster to our long-suffering world!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the blind monk Nirvana vanished.

Subsequently, Wangchen Da Siming, Gao Jiuji, Guixu Dijun, and Minglong Zhizun all left with sighs and lamentations.

Like the blind monks of Nirvana, they accepted their losses.

but.

They still do not believe that their non-war stance is wrong!

Even if fate is on Zhong Lixiao's side, so what?

The will of Heaven in the mortal realm has already been partially eroded. This is practically an open secret!

In the blink of an eye, only Xuanji, the Underworld Mother, and the Underworld Emperor remained among the non-combatant Underworld Lords present.

Xuanji Mingmu gave the mysterious girl Jin a deep look, her gaze finally settling on Zhong Lixiao, and said, "In the end, I was tricked onto this pirate ship by you."

"That seed of Dao, I gave it to you even though I didn't want to. After the final battle begins, I will also join the fight. You'd better watch yourselves!"

After Xuanji Mingmu finished speaking, her figure disappeared without any hesitation.

However, no one was angry.

In Xuanji Mingmu's eyes, anyone who is not a God Emperor is scum and trash.

Being able to get them on board and get them to promise to join the war is already pretty good!

Ultimately, the only non-war faction of the Underworld Lords left was the Underworld Emperor, the Dwarf Yama.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the Underworld Emperor remained calm.

"I stayed because there are still promised Dao Seeds to be delivered. Besides, these young friends on the battle platform are currently very fragile and in danger. Do they need my help to rebuild their physical bodies?" (End of Chapter)
