Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 910 Angxiao's Terror

The underworld, a place beyond description.

Since ancient times, this has been a forbidden land for life, almost no living person has ever set foot in it, and even if they have, they have never truly gone deep into it to explore its secrets.

It lies beneath the mortal realm, and only the souls of the dead can sense it. They are drawn from the mortal world and converge into a river of souls that stretches endlessly, surging and churning, before disappearing into its depths. Throughout this process, a majestic mansion overlooks and observes all of this.

White mist filled the area around the mansion.

The white mist, hazy and ethereal, enveloped the mansion, making it appear and disappear, with only its outline vaguely discernible, thus isolating it from all external influences.

[The Hidden Abode of Enlightenment]

The magnificent mansion, concealing profound mysteries, can even evade the underworld's detection of the living. Its essence is a supreme Dao fruit secret technique that encompasses all five elements.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, the white mist surrounding the mansion dispersed, followed by a loud bang as the mansion gate was pushed open, revealing a burst of golden light.

Enveloped in smoke, Angxiao slowly walked out of the mansion. His narrow eyes, the only part of his body exposed, revealed a rare look of shock and anger. He rode the white mist and the glow of the sunset, staring straight at the deep, unfathomable underworld with an unprecedented gaze.

The next second, Angxiao's aura began to surge!
【Great Forest Wood】, 【White Wax Gold】, 【Sand in Earth】, 【Covered Lamp Fire】, 【Long Flowing Water】—the five elements' positions were arranged in an instant, combining to form a Dao Fruit.

The Dao Fruit primarily uses the [Covering Lamp Fire], with the others as secondary.

In addition, a path leading to the Netherworld appeared behind him, which was his path to enlightenment and the foundation of his Nascent Soul.

【Straight and crooked】.

'【The Dao Fruit of Penetrating the Profound and Observing the Void】!'

In an instant, the firelight almost illuminated the underworld, but under the obscuration of the supreme barrier of knowledge, it did not touch the underworld's self-warning mechanism at all.

This is the Dao Fruit Secret Method that pushes the power of [Covering Lamp Fire] to its extreme, and concentrates all its functions on the imagery of "revealing secrets". Therefore, wherever the firelight passes, the underworld has almost nowhere to hide. Large areas of light surge like waves, revealing the scene inside the underworld.

As far as the eye could see, there was only desolation.

Everywhere there are hills, resembling mounds of graves, and some dilapidated buildings whose designs date back to countless ages ago.

"Hmph, it's that same person again!"

Within the underworld, some dormant consciousnesses awakened, coldly staring intently at [Angxiao], their eyes filled with malice yet also apprehension.

There are also those who lie dormant in the underworld!
If living beings in the mortal world are considered living beings, then those in the underworld are considered dead spirits!

Angxiao was not surprised by this. He had lived in the underworld for a long time, and although he had always been at the entrance and had never really gone deep into the underworld, he had expected this.

However, this was not important to him. In the Underworld, he was at his absolute peak. Even if these undead had extremely high origins, and a few top undead even possessed the combat power of a Great True Monarch, they were nothing more than clowns and monsters in his eyes.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

[Angxiao] completely ignored those awakened consciousnesses and brazenly used the Dao Fruit Secret Technique to rub against the warning line of the Underworld.

"Tap tap. Tap."

The sound of footsteps echoed faintly in the empty space. [Angxiao] traveled around the four directions of the underworld, finally stopping at a border.

Further ahead lies the central area of ​​the underworld.

That was also the only place that Angxiao dared not set foot in and could not explore, because once he got close, even the barrier of perception could not conceal his presence.

Thinking of this, his eyes grew even more gloomy.

'Within the Underworld, apart from the central area, there is absolutely nothing that I cannot see clearly even after using the [Insightful Observation Fruit].'

'However, just now, I searched the entire underworld and found nothing unusual. So, the underworld fluctuations I sensed just now, which resembled the outward projection of divine thoughts, were either my imagination or originated from the central region. But the central region shouldn't have any undead.'

'That's just my imagination. Impossible!'

Angxiao instantly dismissed the guess. At his level, he would never have any illusions; it was just a self-deceiving thought.

That leaves only one possibility. Under the cover of smoke, Angxiao's expression grew increasingly grim.

'If there are undead in the central area, who could it be? The Lord of the Underworld? Impossible, the Lord of the Underworld should have been killed by the Dao Lord long ago.'

But how do you explain the fluctuation just now?

Soon, a conclusion naturally emerged:

'The Lord of the Underworld, is he still alive?'

In an instant, Angxiao almost suffocated, and the first thought that flashed through his mind was: just because it is a possibility does not mean that it is a fact.
The next second, a new thought popped into my head:

so what?

'Isn't this possibility enough? It concerns my path to the Nascent Soul stage. If the Underworld already has a master, wouldn't seeking help from it be courting death?'

"And then I thought about it again. The reason I decided to pursue the path of the Underworld was actually due to guidance from my patriarch. For many years, I've suspected that my patriarch might be setting me up, but I've never found the answer. Now that I've discovered the Underworld has a master, it actually fits my imagination of that old immortal."

[Angxiao] couldn't help but clench his teeth.

He didn't try to deduce the cause and effect, and didn't even dare to show the slightest emotion. This time, the surrounding smoke even shrouded his eyes.

"Calm down, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet."

[Angxiao] pondered in his heart:

'Think about it first, why is there a fluctuation emanating from within the Underworld? That fluctuation leads directly to the outside world, yet leaves no trace. What changes in the outside world have triggered it?'

I've spent so many years in the underworld.

Before this, no matter what happened, the underworld remained as silent as ever, never showing any abnormality, as if it would continue forever.

What extraordinary changes have occurred in the world during this period?

Thinking about this, a name came to mind:

'A calamity!'

The birth of inner demons, the emergence of calamity, the fourth innate path beyond the three foundations—could this be the reason for the inexplicable fluctuations in the underworld?

so--

'The Immortal Lord who oversees tribulations and karmic trials—he might know something.'

[Angxiao] exhaled a deep breath, locking onto his target: 'It seems I must speak with this person; he might know the secret.'

The idea that the underworld had a master did not shake his resolve.

After all, there's no turning back now. So what if the Underworld has a master? He'll just find a way to kill them. He won't hesitate to ruthlessly eliminate anyone who stands in his way.

He was even somewhat relieved: 'Luckily, I discovered this before the Great Tribulation began and before I officially began my pursuit of the Dao, so there was still room for maneuver. Otherwise, if I had only discovered it when I was about to attain enlightenment, there probably wouldn't have been any way to turn things around, and the final result would most likely have been mutual destruction.'

Thinking of this, [Angxiao] suddenly realized:
"Yes, if I perish together with the Lord of the Underworld, the Underworld will truly be completely empty. That old codger must have been planning this all along!"

Beast!
While cursing inwardly, Angxiao suppressed his inner turmoil and decisively returned to the Hidden Mystery Palace of Dao Achievement, then turned his attention to the present world.

But at this moment.

".Um?"

Suddenly, a strange sensation arose from the [Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow Bodhisattva] that he had once meticulously crafted and which had long since been given to the Pure Land.

"Is this...an inner demon?"

"Has the Bodhisattva 'Dragon and Snake Coiling Shadow' developed inner demons? What does the Pure Land want to do?"
