After practicing Qi for a thousand years, one can finally become a god!

Chapter 225 Second Expedition to the Underworld
"Great!"

Qi Sheng could see a thousand miles away with his Heavenly Eye open. After emerging from his Immortal Abode, he saw the battle situation a thousand miles away—

The eight-clawed lion king fought against many.

Kill Granny Yao first.

Two kills on the Heavenly Blade Ancestor.

Afterwards, they scattered the Heart-Eating Monster's form, but it seemed that this person still had a trick up his sleeve and was not completely dead.

After that.

The Three-Flower Goddess was forced to use a substitute puppet to survive.

Yan Wuhui transformed his blood and flew away to survive.

Wang Xuanliang's potential was unleashed and he survived.

In less than half an hour, two of the six peak experts died, one was crippled, and three were defeated, even though Qi San Niang and Wu Ke Hua, two top experts, attracted most of the firepower.

"The Eight-Clawed Lion King!"

"So scary!"

Qi Sheng was shocked. Fortunately, he still had the Immortal Abode Cave Heaven as a way out. With a single "Huang Chuan", he could easily teleport thousands of miles away and easily get rid of the hatred.

Shock.

Fortunately.

Then, as Qi Sheng watched the Eight-Clawed Lion King relentlessly attacking Qi San Niang and Wu Ke Hua, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he realized the true purpose of this monster's, or rather, his newly acquired, 'Heavenly Eye' ability—

"I was just thinking that I shouldn't use my Heavenly Eye carelessly, lest I accidentally provoke a monster I can't handle."

"But now it seems that if this Heavenly Eye monster is used properly, it is an unparalleled weapon for breaking through difficulties and launching attacks."

Qi Sheng's eyes immediately lit up.

He thought of so many applications in an instant, which made him overjoyed.

Looking at the battle situation in the distance—

The eight-clawed lion king split off four tentacles to fiercely attack Qi San Niang. Each tentacle seemed to possess supreme combat power, almost overwhelming Qi San Niang. However, apart from the initial incident where Qi San Niang was unexpectedly killed by the eight-clawed lion king after Qi Sheng left, Qi San Niang, though in a sorry state and unable to defeat him, kept dodging and deflecting his force, fighting and retreating, and thus managed to remain safe.

Wu Kehua is the same.

With breath forming arrays for both offense and defense, and based on 'Free and Easy Wandering,' one of the four great mystical arts of the Netherworld Sect, it made it carefree and at ease. It also used 'Great Evolution Insight' to observe carefully and even found some weaknesses of the Eight-Clawed Lion King. Together with Qi San Niang, they attacked and stabilized the situation for a time. They even launched counterattacks and repeatedly succeeded, causing the Eight-Clawed Lion King considerable damage.

"what!"

"cut!"

With a sharp shout, Qi San Niang, guided by Wu Kehua, swiftly crossed her twin blades and, with a resounding swoosh, severed one of the eight-clawed lion king's tentacles.

Wu Kehua was overjoyed: "This monster is not invincible!"

His original plan was to fight Qi Sanniang while retreating, then lure the monster back to Changwei Mountain and leave it to Qi Sheng to wreak havoc on the Four Symbols Sword Sect.

This idea remains unchanged.

but--

"After we break the Four Symbols Sword Sect's scourge on Qi Sheng, we can then kill this monster."

The strange creature is a treasure trove.

A monster of at least the pinnacle level is priceless, and is rarely seen even in the Netherworld Palace. Even if one does encounter one, it is usually killed by a Supreme Being, and the monster's corpse belongs to that Supreme Being. For these pinnacle beings, the only way to obtain it is through meritorious service and rewards.

But right now there is a supreme monster that he can kill. Once it is killed, he and Qi Sanniang will have it all to themselves.

Wu Kehua was overcome by greed.

of course.

This thought did not prevent him from maintaining the status quo with Qi Sanniang and continuing to lead the eight-clawed lion king to its usual majestic position.

They want to return the strangeness to Qi Sheng.

But, however—

"Ho ho ho~"

The eight-clawed lion king had one tentacle severed, but it quickly grew back. It roared in pain, unleashing a three-headed, three-roar attack—a sonic assault that momentarily stunned Qi San Niang and Wu Ke Hua. Then, the eight tentacles descended upon them.

"Black Dragon Protection!"

"Eight Gates Golden Shield!"

Both Qi and Wu have self-defense methods that automatically activate in times of crisis. Each of their methods can completely withstand a full-force attack from an expert of equal skill, and can even withstand one or two attacks from an invincible figure of the Supreme level to save their lives.

But this time, the Eight-Clawed Lion King, filled with rage and resentment, attacked with all its might. It was the first time it had ever gone all out, holding nothing back. It accumulated all the pain it had suffered from the attacks of Qi Sheng, the Three-Flower Goddess, Qi San Niang, and Wu Ke Hua, and now, through its tentacles, it returned it all to Qi San Niang and Wu Ke Hua.

Flying sword!

Magic weapon!

Spell!

poisonous insect!

After fighting continuously for more than half an hour, how much attack and pain did the Eight-Clawed Lion King endure?

The pain of having all that savings returned now is unimaginable.

Even though Qi San Niang was protected by the immortal black dragon.

Even though Wu Kehua had the Eight Gates Golden Shield protecting him.

but--

Bang bang bang!
The eight tentacles still precisely conveyed the pain.

Immediate time —

"Ahhhh!"

Qi San Niang cried out in pain, unable to utter a single word. Her body trembled violently, and even the seven immortal black dragons around her body trembled wildly, seemingly also trapped in boundless suffering, with one being worn away in an instant, then another, and yet another.

Two in front, three in back.

Qi San Niang's black dragons were reduced to only four, a devastating loss.

Wu Kehua wasn't in much better shape. The boundless power of pain made his eyes bloodshot. Qi Sanniang's Undying Black Dragon could automatically protect him, but Wu Kehua needed a calm mind to unleash the power of both 'Free and Easy Wandering' and his array formation skills. However, at this moment, his heart was filled with the power of pain, so where was he to be calm?
Rumble!
In an instant, the Eight Gates Golden Shield was shattered, and he was sent flying backwards, bleeding profusely in mid-air like a tattered rag, the pain still lingering.

Just then.

Suddenly, a golden light struck and bound Wu Kehua tightly.

"That's my Golden Chain!"

The Three-Flower Goddess's eyelids twitched, but she dared not step forward to snatch it, instead retreating repeatedly.

Take a closer look.

As expected, Qi Sheng arrived!

He captured Wu Kehua with a single move.

Followed by.

The eight tentacles of the octopus lion king danced wildly, unleashing boundless power of pain that obliterated even Qi San Niang's last four immortal black dragons.

Seeing this, Qi Sheng no longer held back and immediately produced a cloth bag that fluttered in the air.

boom!
Qi Sanniang was struck by the eight tentacles and landed under the pocket. She felt a suction force coming towards her, and when she looked up from the pain, her face turned pale: "You little thief, how dare you!"

She recognized it—

"Happy Bag!"

……

"Take it!"

Qi Sheng easily captured Wu Kehua and Qi Sanniang, and was overjoyed.

But this wasn't the time to pop the champagne yet. After the two were captured by Qi Sheng, the Eight-Clawed Lion King lost its target and immediately turned its hatred towards Qi Sheng.

"Invincible!"

Qi Sheng now understood the power of the Octopus Lion King—

Eight tentacles comparable to the pinnacle. The Lion's Roar Trio is unparalleled.

Furthermore, the power of pain is a unique skill; it is only used when it is unleashed, and once it is unleashed, even top masters like Qi Sanniang and Wu Kehua cannot withstand it.

Invincible!

Qi Sheng knew that this Eight-Clawed Lion King had already reached the invincible level in terms of the ability of 'Pain Power', possessing the ability to crush the top experts with a single point and even pose a fatal threat to them.

It's ridiculously strong.

"Invincible!"

With a clear mind, Qi Sheng activated the "Sword Body Splitting" technique. In an instant, more than ten Qi Shengs merged with their swords and flew away in all directions.

This is a fusion of the ultimate swordsmanship, 'body and sword as one', and 'sword light splitting,' making it an excellent escape technique.

Although Qi Sheng hasn't even fully mastered the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Manual" yet, the eight ultimate sword techniques achieved through the "Sorrowful Cloud Eight Forms" are formed by arranging and combining the first six steps of the "Sorrowful Cloud Sword Manual"—

The second realm.

The third level reaches the realm.

The Four Realms.

……

Up to the sixth level of the ultimate realm, Qi Sheng's means of fighting enemies and protecting himself have more than doubled. Each of the eight sword techniques at the ultimate realm has its own wonderful uses, and after being arranged and combined in different ways, they become even more varied and mysterious.

The 'Great Thunder Sound Sword' is just ordinary.

The 'sword body differentiation' technique was tested on the first attempt.

Although this technique cannot truly free Qi Sheng from the Eight-Clawed Lion King, it can delay the monster for a moment, giving Qi Sheng a chance to lure it away.

Continue eastward.

To conquer the netherworld once more.

……

"The big thing is bad!"

Bai Geng had been watching Qi Sheng's movements from outside Changwei Mountain. He saw the strange phenomenon descend, saw Qi Sheng attract the monster, and also saw him capture Qi Sanniang and Wu Kehua alive.

Although he lived a long life and was highly respected in the Netherworld Sect, his combat strength was far inferior to that of Qi Sanniang and Wu Kehua, and he had been holding back and had not made a move.

Seeing Qi Sheng, with the Eight-Clawed Lion King, make a second appearance and still head towards the Netherworld Sect, Bai Geng finally couldn't sit still. He took out more than ten paper cranes from his sleeve and they flew all over the sky. The paper cranes transformed into cranes in the air, and their speed even surpassed that of a sword immortal who had become one with his sword. They disappeared in an instant and headed straight for the Netherworld Sect.

Netherworld Sect.

The Palace of the Underworld.

Within the dimensional node, the Western Heaven was cracked, with countless fissures resembling a spider web.

Eight figures were busy repairing the cracks, but gray mist continued to seep out, accompanied by monstrous figures.

They either slip out through small cracks; these are the weak.

Or they squeeze out from the great crack; that is the mark of the strong.

This is an extremely intense tug-of-war, a battle that the Netherworld Sect has been waging for decades, but in recent years the situation has become increasingly dire.

The number of cracks is increasing.

The cracks are getting bigger and bigger.

The number of metaverse anomalies emerging from those spatial rifts is increasing, and their strength is also growing.

The Netherworld Sect is under immense pressure.

but--

"Pressure can also be a driving force."

"While the strange creatures of the Yuan Realm have caused us a lot of trouble, the Netherworld Palace cannot function without them. The more they come in, the more we kill, the more benefits we can gain from the Netherworld Palace."

A giant, three zhang tall, spoke in a deep, booming voice. Nine black dragons circled around him. He was bare-chested, with tattoos visible on his back, arms, and chest.

It has a tortoise and a snake on its back.

The left arm is a dragon.

The right arm is a tiger.

A firebird is depicted on its chest.

The Four Spirits empowered his physical body, giving the nine immortal black dragons surrounding him corresponding abilities.

Or, strange things from hell may appear on tortoise shells.

Or perhaps a dragon's breath nourishes the physical body.
Or a fierce tiger roars, intimidating all directions.

Or, intense flames sweep across the burning ash mist.

This giant is truly formidable.

He was none other than Sima Dongchou, one of the seven Supreme Elders and eight Invincibles of the Netherworld Sect, who came from the Sima clan of Jiongye Mountain. He was a war god-level ancestor who had mastered the "Twenty-Four Solar Terms" technique, one of the pillars of the Netherworld Sect, and an absolute top expert of the barbarian frontier.

Its strength was overwhelming, and its hands were as large as palm-leaf fans, yet it did the work of embroidery, grabbing both sides of the crack and tearing and mending it for another three years.

That side.

There was a middle-aged man in a green robe, holding a sword box embroidered with a peach blossom. Twelve miniature flying swords emerged from the box one after another, weaving through the spiderweb-like cracks and mending the wounds.

Peach Blossom Sword Case.

Twelve flying swords.

This is another one of the Eight Invincibles of the Netherworld Sect, Li Wuxian, who comes from the Taibai Li family, one of the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families. He laughed loudly and said, "The Yuan Realm will descend sooner or later, and the present world will fall sooner or later. What we need to do is to use these strange things and the Netherworld Palace to accumulate more strength before that day comes. As Brother Sima said, more strange things are not necessarily a bad thing."

The group mended and patched the clothes, but they weren't under much pressure. The Netherworld Sect was an evil sect, and as the invincible members of the Netherworld Sect, they weren't saints who saved the world. They didn't have any idol baggage or too much pressure, and they only wanted to improve their own strength.

Recently, the Yuan Realm has been in turmoil, nodes have been rioting, and the appearance of more spatial rifts has brought more strange phenomena. This has also made the Yuan Power in the Netherworld Palace more abundant than ever before. As the Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect and the ruler of the Netherworld Palace, they have gained a great deal of benefits.

I wish it could continue for longer.

The strength gained in the Netherworld Palace is all their own, solid and steady. No wonder they can't care about the minor disturbances outside. Although mystical artifacts are equally precious, the opportunity to rapidly increase their strength and even their cultivation is much more precious.

I can handle both the important and the trivial.

of course.

More importantly, these elders were well aware that although the 'Ze Ding' had a great reputation, it could hardly enhance their combat power. Its most precious feature was the 'Kui Water Essence,' which was exactly what they didn't need. As the invincible Supreme Elder of the Youming Sect, one of the five sects of the Barbarian Frontier, which of the eight people present hadn't reached the full lifespan of five hundred years?
The 'essence of Gui water' can prolong life, but it is useless to them.

So, I didn't go.

Or rather, don't rush.

but.

This day.

Fluttering~
A crane arrived and landed in the hands of Nanmen Feiying, the leader of the Netherworld Sect. He frowned immediately after reading the message.

That side.

Li Wuxian also received a message from a flying sword and was surprised to learn about what was happening outside: "How could a strange creature resembling an invincible realm appear outside?"

At this moment, beams of light surged forth and landed in the hands of Sima Dongchou and the others. Now, all eight invincible warriors knew about Chang Weishan's affairs.

The elder of the Qi family, Qi Huang, knew that his family had lost a peerless Qi San Niang, but he was not angry. He just thought to himself, "If it could severely injure San Niang and Ke Hua in one fell swoop, that strange creature must have reached the invincible realm in at least one aspect."

Wu Wang, the patriarch of the Wu family, was not worried about the safety of Wu Kehua, the most outstanding member of the clan. He pondered and said, "The younger generation can go toe-to-toe with it. When it really unleashes its power, it only injures Qi Sanniang and Wu Kehua. Even if it is invincible, it is just a simple character among the strange creatures in the invincible realm. It is easy to deal with."

He was actually pleased rather than angry: "Qi Sheng thinks that attracting such a strange creature can pose a threat to my Netherworld Sect. He is really overthinking it."

Wu Wang looked at Qi Huang: "Brother Qi, why not take advantage of these traitors, mystical weapons, and invincible realm monsters that have been delivered to our door? Shall we make a trip together?"

Qi Huanglang laughed: "That suits me just fine."

That side.

Nanmen Feiying, however, could not stand idly by. He immediately smiled and said, "I will travel with you two. Although Qi Sheng is arrogant, he is indeed quite talented. I really admire talent. If he is willing to back down, I would like to ask you two brothers to give me face and forgive him."

Wu Wang and Qi Huang exchanged a glance and laughed upon hearing this, "Of course, of course."
