I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Zhong Lixiao did not object to the suggestion from the Underworld Emperor.

These Nascent Soul Venerables in the mortal realm were also the great contributors to their ability to persuade the non-combatant Underworld Lord to abstain, so naturally they needed to help them restore their physical bodies.

Although this matter was not particularly difficult for them, even if their physical bodies recovered, all the Venerable Ones from the mortal realm who participated in this battle would most likely suffer severe damage to their vital energy.

Physical injuries are relatively easy to heal, but damage to the primordial spirit is not so easy to recover through cultivation.

Most importantly, many of the Nascent Soul cultivators here have very little lifespan left.

They don't have that much time to painstakingly repair their physical bodies!
Just then, the mysterious girl Jin suddenly said, "No need to repair them for now. Take a closer look at their condition."

After Jin finished speaking, he gently blew out a breath of fresh air again.

The next instant, all the Underworld Lords present simultaneously sensed that on the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree, which had not even half of its trunk remained, the extremely weak divine souls from the mortal realm were still engaged in a brutal struggle.

Zhong Lixiao's expression shifted, and he said, "They are still vying for control of the 'Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations' of the Path of Calamity? This path is truly cruel and unique!"

Because of the pure breath from the mysterious girl Jin, everyone present clearly gained a more nuanced understanding of the final devouring of the "Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations" of the Great Dao of Calamity.

In the end, in Zhong Lixiao's eyes, the many Nascent Soul cultivators present were reduced to nothing more than a few wisps of calamity energy.

But it is precisely because of this that they have been polished to an exceptionally pure state.

The words "reversing one's innate nature" and "returning to one's original destiny" immediately came to Zhong Lixiao's mind.

These insights, however, are constantly corroborating what Zhong Lixiao had recently realized.

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao's eyes were unusually deep, staring unblinkingly at the wisps of calamity energy intertwined and devouring each other on the withered branches of the Xuanqiong Nine Luminaries Flower Tree.

at the same time.

Within Zhong Lixiao's inner universe, wisps of the most primordial calamity energy were slowly replicated, following the rhythm of mutual devouring in the outside world.

If it were a different path, Zhong Lixiao might not have been able to replicate it so easily.

However, he filled all of this calamity into the Yellow Springs River authority on the opposite side of the Demon Lord's light.

Looking back and simulating it now, it's much easier than I imagined.

Not only Zhong Lixiao, but almost all the Underworld Lords present were silently observing the final devouring and reorganization of the Great Dao of Calamity.

For every Lord of the Underworld present, it was essentially a rare opportunity.

Take the Myriad Bones Ancestor as an example. Not long ago, he also poured his Undying Bone Dao Power into these Nascent Soul Venerables in the mortal realm to help them defeat the Soul Calamity Black Water Vortex and the Bone Sand Storm.

And now, his Undying Bone Dao power is also continuously maintaining the existence of these souls, and therefore their mutual devouring is also giving the Myriad Bones Ancestor a lot of inspiration.

The Undying Bone Dao can essentially be understood as an immortal power that resists calamities, and it is also essentially a kind of "metal element" of heaven and earth.

The Great Dao of Calamity can essentially be understood as a kind of "wear and tear," or even a "killing" power.

No wonder that when they formed the "One Calamity and Nine Disasters Formation", they eventually turned into a Yin-Yang millstone.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

The bronze life lamp above Zhong Lixiao's head solidified once again, becoming countless.

Even Zhong Lixiao could clearly feel the heavy weight.

The sense of crisis in my heart rose sharply.

It was as if the power of heaven and earth was concentrated and pressing down on him.

The existence of this bronze life lamp is like a nail.

The will of Heaven is like a hammer; in ordinary times, Heaven and Earth are like a heavy stone pressing down on everyone.

Even though the pressure is still immense, with the weight of the massive stone slab on my chest, breaking that massive stone with my chest becomes possible.

But even with the blessing of the bronze life lamp, which is like an iron nail, one's body may still be pierced through by the hammer-like will of Heaven.

Even Zhong Lixiao felt a chill run down his spine.

I increasingly feel that this underworld is no longer a place to linger!

However, the existence of the bronze life lamp, combined with the final struggle of these Nascent Soul cultivators in the mortal realm for the Great Dao of Calamity, allowed Zhong Lixiao to gain a great deal of insight.

At that moment, Zhong Lixiao's gaze immediately turned serious.

"Is it an illusion? In the final moments of the battle, it seems that those original calamities and tribulations from the underworld have suddenly reappeared."

The Demon of the Broken Harp: "This is not an illusion. I heard their thoughts. After all, the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations were originally formed by them with great effort. This final mark and struggle is inevitable!"

The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Bones nodded solemnly as well.

The underworld, shrouded in chaos and calamities, was something they disliked to some extent.

But even if they dislike it subjectively, it is undeniable that Sanzai Jiunan is indeed very outstanding.

These are the twelve people in this era who have the best chance of reaching the level of the Lord of the Underworld.

After observing for a while, a large number of mysterious runes emerged from the depths of Zhong Lixiao's eyes, and streaks of dark light began to form as a result.

Zhong Lixiao discovered that, due to the underworld's ability to prepare for the worst while facing numerous calamities, the situation was actually quite unfavorable for his friends in the mortal realm.

Just then, a phantom figure resembling a monk suddenly appeared, none other than the "Monk of False Speech" from the Nine Tribulations.

The monk, with a sorrowful expression, pleaded, "We beg Your Majesty the Great Emperor to have great compassion and give us one last chance for fair competition."

"You, Daoist Master, standing atop the Nine Heavens, should uphold the Heavenly Way even more."

Before the Foolish Monk could finish speaking, the mysterious dark light in Zhong Lixiao's eyes poured down completely, instantly being poured into the calamity light that was still fighting for its last bit.

This dark light was none other than a wisp of calamity light that Zhong Lixiao had conjured up and restored based on the bronze life lamp and the meanings of "robbery and killing" and "wear and tear" of the three calamities and nine tribulations.

However, its original will comes from Zhong Lixiao's inner universe, and it is more inclined towards the mortal world.

For the many Nascent Soul cultivators in the mortal realm, it is naturally a tonic, but for these original marks of the underworld, which originally suffered from three calamities and nine tribulations, it is a catastrophe.

The situation that had just been quite unfavorable to these venerable beings in the mortal realm immediately reversed and became one-sided again.

The False Monk, the Hanged Red Immortal, and the Black Water Cloud Vortex—each and every one of them was filled with indignation and extreme resentment.

but.

Having come this far, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only be completely swallowed up and annihilated.

At that moment, even the ferryman couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Cultivators who wish to attain enlightenment naturally need to undergo tribulations.

Even in the underworld, this is true!

In the past, before a creature could be served a meal, it first had to overcome the tribulations from other underworld lords.

Having finally gained the support of most of the underworld lords, he ultimately fell to the Central Emperor.

That was also a tribulation for them, Fellow Daoist Zhonghuang!

But how could they easily overcome this tribulation?
This dark light already vaguely resembled the clear light of the ash.

Zhong Lixiao, on the other hand, had absolutely no psychological barriers to taking sides.

He had offended the Three Calamities and Nine Disasters long ago, but all the Nascent Soul Venerables in the mortal realm were his comrades-in-arms.

They've made a great contribution this time, so Zhong Lixiao will naturally side with them!

Rumble!
Another half hour passed, and the source of calamity, symbolizing the three calamities and nine tribulations, was finally integrated.

As you can see, these sources of destruction slowly transformed into a yin-yang millstone composed of frost and crimson.

The millstone slowly rotated, just as if the yin and yang energies were flowing and swirling, gradually grinding away all the souls within the yin and yang realms.

Ultimately, they are restored to their most primordial soul power, which in turn nourishes the entire underworld.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the underworld lords present lit up.

Myriad Bones Ancestor: "Is this the Great Dao of Calamity formed by relying on the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations? For us, it may just be a little bit of hardship, but for ordinary souls in the underworld, it is an extremely difficult threshold. If they cannot cross it, they will most likely perish under this calamity."

The Demon of the Boundless Harp nodded and said, "Behind the Great Road of Calamity, I heard the joyous song of sublimation and rebirth."

At this point, the Demon of the Infinite Harp couldn't help but pluck the strings of his harp.

Immediately, everyone present heard a very moving piece of music.

It was as if we saw new shoots sprouting anew from endless ruins, and the souls of the underworld being cleansed of their sins and grime under the torment of this great calamity, and regaining their vitality.

Clearly, although the Great Dao of Calamity is a cruel and merciless path, it contains a vibrant life force within it.

As for the ferryman, he immediately thought of the eternal silence that would follow the end of the epochal era.

Back then, the underworld was truly the most cruel hell.

But if there were such a new path, perhaps things would be more orderly then, and more sins of the underworld could be washed away!

Rumble!
The entire underworld simultaneously felt the power of the new path spreading, and countless living beings trembled in fear.

Many Dao Lords who had left the non-war faction also followed the fluctuations and looked toward the source of the new Dao.

Even in the underworld, such cases of enlightenment are extremely rare.

But even if you succeed in attaining enlightenment, so what?
Ultimately, it was nothing more than creating a new freak, a mentally challenged child.
These non-war faction underworld lords all revealed disdainful sneers.

Half a day later.

The "Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations" that required him to complete his path to enlightenment in the Yin and Yang realms reappeared before everyone's eyes.

This is a creature with three heads and six arms, and each head has a different face.

The face at the very center of the skull was none other than the Guanghan Venerable, who had already refined the "Azure Blood Moon" before the battle began.

However, compared to the past, her face now bears some of the characteristics of the Moon Demon from back then.

Clearly, the Venerable Guanghan is no longer the Venerable Guanghan of the past.

She not only became one of the heads of the Lord of Calamity, but also merged with the Moon Demon in a special way.

As for the head on the left, it is clearly that of the Vajra Indestructible Buddha, and it also incorporates many characteristics that were never seen before.

for example.

It was sinister and menacing, even vaguely resembling the great demon Mara. Clearly, in order to seize control of this head, the Vajra Indestructible Buddha and Mara chose to join forces, ultimately gaining the upper hand.

In a very outrageous way, the unity of Buddha and demon was achieved.

But whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is really hard to say.

As for the head on the right, it was none other than that of the Heavenly Sovereign.

Similar to the two heads before him, he also completed a very unusual fusion with the Dirty-Clothed Beggar Immortal.

Furthermore, their heads clearly symbolize the Black Water Cloud Vortex, one of the Three Calamities.

It looked gloomy and extremely filthy, as if it could drip highly toxic black water at any moment, and it looked quite disgusting.

As for their physical bodies, they should originate from Granny Green Calyx's Mysterious Nine Luminaries Flower Tree.

You can even see Grandma Green Calyx's face through her chest.
At this moment, Granny Green Calyx closed her eyes tightly, her face showing sorrow.

Not only Zhong Lixiao, but everyone present could clearly feel her breakdown.

It's understandable if you think about it!

No matter who lives a beautiful life, if they eventually merge with the Dao and become part of the personality of the Great Dao of Calamity, they will also collapse abnormally.

In other places, one can also see the characteristics of other venerable beings in the mortal realm.

They gradually transformed into six arms and two legs—it was a truly tragic sight!
Feeling the presence of this newly born Lord of Calamity, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.

Previously, whenever Zhong Lixiao encountered any Underworld Lord or Dao Lord, he couldn't help but want to obtain a Dao Seed from them.

But before him stood the Lord of Calamity and Hell.
He apologized, admitting that he had been somewhat superficial, his resolve was still not firm enough, and he had a habit of judging people by their appearance!

What is this all about?

This is such a hodgepodge!
However, this hodgepodge before him was, after all, the companions he had brought from the mortal realm seeking opportunities. Zhong Lixiao suppressed his discomfort and asked as calmly as possible, "Congratulations to all fellow Daoists on successfully attaining the Dao of Yin and Yang. However, what is your current situation?"

Instantly.

Several voices rang out simultaneously, chattering and chattering, both male and female, like a noisy vegetable market.

"The method of attaining enlightenment through the three calamities and nine difficulties is inherently flawed."

"When we come together, we become the complete Lord of the Underworld. In our current situation, we can be considered the complete embodiment of our Dao Lord personality, right?"

"Once we have fully consolidated our cultivation levels, we can separate again. Although our combat power will far surpass that of Nascent Soul Venerables and Half-Step Underworld Lords, we will still be far from being true Underworld Lords."

Clearly, every consciousness of the Lord of Calamity's personality avatar was extremely unwilling to accept defeat.

The fact that I can stand here again now, calmly meeting and speaking with everyone, shows that my resolve is exceptionally strong.

After a long time.

The many minds of the Great Dao of Calamity finally reached a new consensus.

The Venerable Guanghan, who was in the very center, said helplessly, "Fellow Daoist Zhonghuang, you have seen our current situation. I wonder if you need our Dao Seed?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao's expression froze, and he almost lost his composure.

Zhong Lixiao, covered in sweat, said, "Yang Jiu Yin Liu, I'm sorry, I've now collected all the Dao Seeds, and I'm basically at the Great Perfection."

The Venerable Guanghan said wistfully, "We can also love our era, and we can also fight against the heavens again to protect our world."

啊额
Zhong Lixiao was speechless, unsure of how to respond. He felt like a green recruit, sweating profusely and trembling with fear!
Don't come any closer! (Image)

At this point, the other underworld lords present could no longer contain themselves and all revealed smiles.

The atmosphere at the scene was joyful!

After some time, the mysterious girl Jin gently inhaled at the "Lord of Calamity," and a wisp of mysterious energy was then absorbed into Jin's body.

This time, the change was quite obvious.

The mysterious girl, Jin, had clearly grown up a bit more, from a young girl to a woman in her early twenties.

It was as if Jin had survived some great calamity and returned after a new ordeal; his aura was noticeably different.

If I had to describe it, it would be that he had lost some of his innocence, and his gaze had become even more profound.

Like the ocean, like the sky, it is a deep, clear blue, so profound that it can never be fully understood.

Finally, amidst the unsurprised gazes of the crowd, the mysterious girl Jin waved her hand lightly, once again unleashing immeasurable amounts of life essence from within the body of the Calamity Netherworld.

With a long sigh, Jin exhaled a breath of fresh air and sent these souls back to the six realms of reincarnation.

A few days later.

Zhong Lixiao, who successfully refined the Yinming Emperor's Dwarf Yama Dao Seed, and many like-minded underworld lords arrived together at the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

Having finally made it to the underworld, Zhong Lixiao naturally hoped to make the most of his limited time to explore and see it for himself.

Especially the Netherworld City and the Land of Six Paths of Reincarnation, they are places that one must visit.

Since the faction led by Zhong Lixiao, who advocated for another battle against the heavens, won, it seems that the troops under the command of Emperor Guixu and the Supreme Nether Dragon no longer attacked this City of the Dead.

Everything seemed to have settled down completely. The Great Underworld, which was once filled with turmoil and war, has now entered a peaceful era where weapons are stored away and horses graze freely.

Although they knew that this fragile peace was likely just a fleeting dream that could burst at any moment, none of the Underworld Lords present could bear to destroy it.

The Dark King, the short-legged Yama, stood atop the parapet, gazing at the vast expanse of land outside the city. After a long silence, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The City of the Wrongfully Dead is not special in the underworld. In fact, almost every place has one, and their numbers can be repeatedly arranged in a cycle from Jiazi to Guihai."

Zhong Lixiao stared at the Underworld Emperor with great surprise.

If this person hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have known that the City of the Wrongfully Dead had such a name.

Furthermore, Zhong Lixiao also believed that this Underworld Emperor would not have said such things to him without reason.

Not long ago, he refined the Heavenly Dao Seed of the Yinming Emperor. Zhong Lixiao discovered that, just as Sister Jin had said, the Heavenly Dao Ancestor was very powerful.

As soon as his Dao Seed began to be refined, Zhong Lixiao immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of the Underworld Emperor.

He was not only tall, but he had also endured countless tribulations.

If we really want to fight against the calamity, his Heaven-Supporting Dao Seed is truly the most professional!
Therefore, Zhong Lixiao believed that the Underworld Emperor must have great ambitions and aspirations, and was definitely not as cowardly as he had previously appeared.

The Underworld Emperor: "It was I who unified the City of the Wrongfully Dead, and it was I who single-handedly transformed it into a major city on par with other Yama cities in the Underworld. Although it was very regrettable that they were later taken over by other Underworld Lords."

"You must know that those great cities are all connected to the six realms of reincarnation; they are truly remarkable cities. Yet I have lost them one after another. It is truly a loss of sovereignty and a disgrace to the nation."

???

Zhong Lixiao's eyes widened as he stared in astonishment at the unusually short-statured Yinming Emperor before him.

The Underworld Emperor said, “Take this City of the Wrongfully Dead as an example. Once the end of the era arrives, the souls of all the innocent and wrongfully deceased may be instantly drawn to the City of the Wrongfully Dead.”

"For us city lords, the pressure is at its peak, but so is our power. This is our power as Yama City Lords, and it is also a heavy responsibility!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao felt as if his mind was about to explode.

He instantly understood: the Underworld Emperor, through one era after another, had "lost his city of Yama" due to his "incompetence and foolishness."

Perhaps it's all for a complete and utter explosion!
Zhong Lixiao was about to say something when Yinming Tianzi suddenly put his finger to his lips and made a "shh" gesture.

"Say nothing, ask nothing. This has dragged on for far too long, and I am quite exhausted. Go forth and fight!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao remained silent for a moment before bowing deeply to the Emperor of the Underworld.

The stigmatization of the Underworld Emperor is far too severe!
He was once the revered and powerful Ancestor of the Heavens, but now he has been reduced to a lowly Yama, the Lord of the Underworld.

In the underworld, if you haven't challenged the Underworld King, the Dwarf Yama, you can't really say you've entered the Underworld King's circle.

The Underworld Emperor had endured humiliation and hardship for too long, but now he had chosen to trust Zhong Lixiao, a trust that weighed heavily on his heart.

Zhong Lixiao was somewhat incredulous and said, "Even now, in Xuanji Mingmu's eyes, everyone except the God Emperor is scum."

"At least in Xuanji Mingmu's eyes, I should be far inferior to the God Emperor. I wonder why Your Majesty did not choose the God Emperor?"

Yinming Emperor: "At least from the current perspective, you should still be far inferior to the God Emperor, after all, you have not yet attained enlightenment."

"But precisely because you haven't yet attained enlightenment, you're likely to need this power even more."

Ok!

Zhong Lixiao finally understood Yinming Tianzi's thoughts. The God Emperor was very strong, and this power was just icing on the cake for him, something he could do without.

But for Zhong Lixiao, this power might be extremely meaningful!
But are you sure this isn't hurting him?
With a wave of his hand, the Underworld Emperor summoned a scroll made of bones from some unknown creature, which floated in front of Zhong Lixiao.

"This is a compilation I've made over the years regarding extraterrestrial enemies. You can read it after you attain enlightenment. Don't let it hinder your resolve to pursue the Dao!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Lixiao was speechless once again.

You know how to put pressure on him, Underworld Emperor!
It was from this day that Zhong Lixiao dispatched all the outer gods, including King Wucheng and Lord Anlan.

They divided the work and began to collect various books, spiritual materials, and some medicinal herbs unique to the underworld in the City of the Wrongfully Dead.

As for some exceptionally ancient beings from the underworld, those who still remember some old stories about the mortal world become the focus of their search.

Meanwhile, Zhong Lixiao himself took advantage of this time to personally measure the land of the underworld with his own feet.

The Bridge of Helplessness, the River of the Underworld, the Palace of Yama, and especially the Six Paths of Reincarnation became the focus of his observation.

These were all very grand and mysterious, greatly broadening Zhong Lixiao's horizons.

If it weren't for the fact that time was running out and the pressure from the bronze life lamp above his head was increasing, Zhong Lixiao would have really wanted to stay in these important places of reincarnation in the underworld for a while longer and gain some insight.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned!

The Heavenly Dao of the Underworld increasingly rejected him.

Zhong Lixiao even had a vague feeling that he was like a wooden stump with nails pointed at him, while the Heavenly Dao of the Underworld was holding a hammer.

The hammer could strike at any moment, which terrified Zhong Lixiao.

However, in Zhong Lixiao's view, the existence of this bronze life lamp was definitely the most valuable discovery during this trip to the underworld, from which he benefited greatly.

Finally, Zhong Lixiao successfully extracted some of the vital energy from the City of Hell, the Bridge of Helplessness, and the River of the Underworld.

And so, this journey to the underworld came to an end!
Several days later, a streak of light shot straight into the Netherworld, piercing through the thick, leaden clouds, and gradually disappeared from the Netherworld. (End of Chapter)
