Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 976 Let's grant your wish.
The present world, the underworld.

At this moment, Lü Yang's shouts had not yet faded, still echoing in the air, even though his figure had just disappeared from the spot in full view of everyone a second ago.

'Something has changed.'

On the road to the underworld, Angxiao stood with his hands behind his back, sensing the subtle changes in the world and keenly noticing the quiet shift in the power of the two Dao Lords.

'Both the Destiny and the World Honored One's Time Scroll have shown abnormalities. The Destiny has weakened by about one-third, and the Time Scroll by about one-fifth. Sure enough, it's the City Wall Soil. That guy who controls the Calamity has escaped into the net of cause and effect. The old immortal of the Holy Sect and the World Honored One have gone after him.'

'Since that's the case, I can't just sit idly by.'

In the blink of an eye, Angxiao had already made a judgment: at least for this moment, he and the Immortal Lord who controlled the Tribulation Crossing were in the same boat.

He drew fire from his side.

It's time to make a move on our side too.

Thinking of this, Angxiao immediately took another step. This time, he held nothing back and stepped across the Yellow Springs Road in one stride.

Next is the Bridge of Helplessness.

【Looking-Homeward Terrace】.

【The Three Lives Stone】.

These underworld components passed before his eyes one by one, causing thoughts to constantly surface in Angxiao's mind, but without making him hesitate in the slightest.

'The Three-Life Stone can awaken a soul's past and present lives. Even a soul that has lived five lifetimes, whose true self has been cleansed by the underworld and whose consciousness has been reborn, will recall its past lives before the Three-Life Stone. Is it trying to make me remember my past as well?'

In a daze, the scene appeared.

Then Angxiao discovered that he had no past life; at least before the consciousness of Angxiao was born, his soul was a blank.

".Oh!"

Looking at the scene before him, Angxiao laughed: "What does this mean? Is it trying to remind me that my birth and my soul were arranged by humans?"

This is the only explanation.

The Void Sea of ​​Light has existed to this day, and the soul has been reincarnated continuously for countless years. Theoretically, it is impossible for a soul to exist that has only "one lifetime".

Unless this soul was not born naturally, but was deliberately created by someone for a certain purpose, only in this case would it only exist for one lifetime. Such a truth is equivalent to telling a person that your life, your achievements, everything you have is a carefully planned scheme.

This is enough to make one doubt oneself, or even break down.

However, Angxiao remained unfazed. He stepped over the Three Lives Stone, a stone that would stop countless cultivators in their tracks, without pausing for a moment.

"What does premeditation count as?"

“Premeditation can only scheme against my past, my soul, but it cannot scheme against my insights, my resolve, my path; it lies only beneath my feet!”

[Angxiao] strode confidently, seemingly unperturbed by the truth revealed by the [Three Lives Stone], and the [Four Directions Ghost Domain] dared not obstruct his path.

His vital energy is still rising!
The title of "Number One True Lord Under Heaven" is not self-proclaimed by Angxiao, but a fact.

What is an insurmountable threshold for many Great True Lords is like a clay chicken or a tile dog under Angxiao's feet, unable to stop him even for a moment.

"Boom!"

Finally, [Angxiao] broke through the obstacles and arrived at the core area of ​​the Underworld, which was also the last component, in front of the gate of [Netherworld Lord's Palace].

Almost simultaneously, his aura finally broke through the critical point of the late Golden Core stage. His already near-perfect mortal status rose further, breaking into a mysterious and profound level. It seemed that he had not reached the level of the Dao Lord, but he had already transcended the mortal world and was no longer in the secular world.

The golden elixir is complete!

Their status transcends that of a True Monarch, yet falls below that of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord; perhaps they could be called a Dao Lord. This is a realm from which there is no turning back.

Either ascend to the other shore, or plummet to your death!
Reaching this level is like taking a leap off a cliff; only cultivators with great courage, perseverance, and determination can undertake this path.

At that very moment.

The Palace of the Underworld Lord moved. The majestic palace gates opened, and a faint light seemed to appear, weak and withered to the extreme.

In an instant, the World Honored One, the Dao Lord of Magic and Techniques, the Dao Lord of Sword Pavilion, the Dao Lord of Dao Court, and even the lofty ancestor of the Holy Sect, who were originally engaged in fierce battle, all seemed to pause subtly, momentarily abandoning their respective opponents and turning their gazes to the light and shadow in the hall.

Variables appeared.

In his previous life, until Angxiao crashed into the Netherworld Palace, the first Demon-Taming Peak Master, who was dormant there, showed no signs of waking up.

He perished along with Angxiao in a daze.

However, in this life, things have changed.

Because within the [Emperor's Palace], Lü Yang had already provoked the first Demon-Taming Peak Master, causing this true master of the Underworld to regain some of his consciousness ahead of schedule!
And at that moment, he woke up!

Undoubtedly, this was beyond the expectations of all the Dao Lords present. On the contrary, [Angxiao] revealed an expression in his eyes that said, "I didn't expect this."

'As expected, most components of the Underworld are usually dormant, even the Four Great Ghost Realms are almost completely sealed off from the outside world, untouched by the mortal realm. But now they are all awakening, and the Three Lives Stone is even coming out to block the way. It seems the Lord of the Underworld has indeed awakened.'

Thinking of this, Angxiao felt a sense of urgency.

'Master of Calamity, what exactly are you doing in this web of cause and effect? ​​I haven't taken the final step and retrieved the [Covering Lamp Fire] yet; don't disappoint me.'

Angxiao hesitated. At this moment, fate was still hanging over him, and the first generation of Demon-Taming Peak Master was blocking his way. Even if he had two lives, he would find it difficult to break through the barrier.

But at this moment.

Suddenly, the light and shadow within the Palace of the Underworld moved, and a faint, melancholic voice drifted out: "Did it really have to come to this?"

"Master."

A mournful voice rang out, and in an instant, Angxiao's perspective changed.

This seemed to be a sight only he could see.
The light and shadow, though extremely weak, was still incredibly powerful in essence, and suddenly transformed into a tearful boy.

He is sighing.

The next second, he glanced at Angxiao again, was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to understand something, nodding slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he shifted his gaze to the Time Scroll conjured by the World Honored One, and his eerie voice resounded once more, echoing throughout the Underworld:

"Senior Brother Wanbao, are you here too?"

A flicker of understanding flashed through the boy's blurry, tearful eyes, before he transformed back into light and shadow, severing all connection with the outside world, leaving only the final sentence:
"My master wants to kill me, and my senior brother wants the underworld. So be it, let this calamity be yours."

Rumble!
At this moment, this unexpected turn of events, initiated by Lü Yang and anticipated even by Lü Yang himself, finally brought about a crucial and dramatic change in the overall situation.

Inside the Palace of the Underworld, the light and shadow flickered and then quietly shattered.

It has no soul, no divine will.

It shattered and vanished without a trace. All the Dao Lords focused their attention on this place, and there was no room for doubt about the outcome.

The first Demon-Taming Peak Master—committed suicide!

At the same time, due to the death of its master, the [Netherworld Lord's Palace], which had been revived, suddenly lost its luster.

The underworld, suspended in mid-air!
At this moment, the scroll of time, which had remained unshaken no matter what the first Demon-Taming Peak Master had said, finally began to ripple.
