Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

In the initial stage of the Pure Land, the light of merit and virtue, like gauze and mist, flowed endlessly, illuminating this hundred-mile stretch of the underworld with a sacred and solemn aura.

The Yellow Springs flow swiftly, their waters murmuring, yet carrying a tranquil power to cleanse the soul.

The illusory pillars of light representing the Six Paths of Reincarnation stood in all directions, radiating a unique and grand aura.

The underworld was solemn, with the Mirror of Judgment hanging high. Its clear, hazy light swept across, clearly reflecting the merits and demerits of each true spirit.

Black and White Impermanence guide new souls, Judges record events with their pens, Ox-Head and Horse-Face patrol hell, and the wandering gods traverse day and night like lightning... The entire cycle of reincarnation, under the management of numerous underworld deities each performing their respective duties, operates efficiently like a precise and harmonious instrument.

Lin Xuan sat cross-legged in the deepest part of the Netherworld Palace, his aura resonating with the entire Netherworld. His mid-Nascent Soul cultivation had been completely stabilized under the baptism of vast merit, and he was even faintly moving towards the threshold of the late stage.

He closed his eyes slightly, his mind sinking into a deeper understanding of the laws of reincarnation and the power of merit, seemingly unaware of the monstrous waves stirred up by the Celestial Court's decree in the outside world.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

The Celestial Court's decree, "Rebellious Immortals of All Heavens," written in the runes of the Great Dao and imbued with supreme immortal power and relentless killing intent, has long been like a destructive star thrown into the endless ocean of the myriad realms, stirring up a raging storm that sweeps across the starry sky!

"Capture and kill the rebellious Immortal Lin Xuanzhe, reward him with a Nine-Turn Immortal Pill, bestow upon him a Creation Immortal Mansion, and grant him the position of Third-Rank Patrol Envoy!"

This tempting bounty, like the most potent poison, is eroding the minds of countless powerful individuals and forces.

Elixir of immortality, immortal abode, immortal position! Any one of these three things is enough to drive a star field overlord mad and make an old monster who has cultivated for thousands of years take risks!

Xuanming Starfield, Core Glacier Temple.

The temple was constructed of ancient ice, its chilling aura so intense that it seemed to freeze the very space around it.

On the throne, Ancestor Xuanming slowly opened his eyes, which were like frozen stars. He was tall and had deep blue skin covered with mysterious ice crystal patterns. His aura was vast and cold, and he had already reached the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

"The Nine-Turn Immortal Pill... can help this old man break through his shackles, condense the Profound Nether True Qi, and step into the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop!" His deep voice echoed in the temple, carrying an irrepressible longing. "The position of the Celestial Court's Patrol Envoy... is an excellent opportunity to open the doors to the Celestial Realm! My Profound Nether Star Domain has been confined to this place for far too long!"

Below, the eight Ice Demon Generals knelt on one knee, their bodies radiating the chilling aura of late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow our Ancestor to capture and kill the rebellious immortal, and to uphold the might of our Xuanming!"

"Send the order! Assemble three thousand Xuanming Guards and activate the 'Ice Soul Starship'! Follow me on this expedition!" The Xuanming Ancestor suddenly stood up, his icy killing intent spreading out, causing the temperature inside the temple to plummet and the ice crystals to crackle.

Sirius Starfield, Howling Star Abyss.

This is the lair of the Sirius Clan, where countless ferocious wolf-shaped star remains float in the dark abyss.

On the highest star with the giant wolf's head, the Howling Moon Wolf, which is over a thousand feet long, howled to the sky. The sound waves tore through the void, causing billions of wolf descendants to roar in response, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens!

The Howling Moon Wolf's fur was as white as silver, and its eyes were as red as the blood moon. Its ferocious aura as a beginner in the Nascent Soul stage was undisguised.

"A reward from the Celestial Court? Hmph, I'll take it all!" It spoke in a human voice, hoarse and aggressive. "That Lin Xuan can kill a Celestial Envoy; he must be incredibly wealthy! His Netherworld and his secrets of reincarnation will become resources for my further advancement! My lads, the time to drink my fill of blood has come! Follow me, the hunt begins!"

Countless Sirius warriors transformed into a silver torrent, boarding the menacing bone warships. Their howls were deafening, and their greed and bloodlust almost materialized.

Golden Buddha Kingdom, surrounded by flowing sands and starry rings.

An ancient temple, radiating golden light, floats in the center of a magnificent star-shaped ring of golden sand. Inside the temple, the air is filled with the fragrance of sandalwood and the sounds of chanting, yet it exudes an undeniable power and dominance.

The presiding monk, Jinchi Luohan, wore a brocade robe, had a full moon-like face, and eyes like bronze bells. He held a heavy vajra pestle. His body radiated pure Buddhist light, yet it also contained a sharp edge, indicating that his cultivation was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!

He gazed at the Celestial Court decree that displayed Lin Xuan's image before him, a burning glint in his eyes. "The position of Patrol Envoy… With this celestial post, protected by the Celestial Court's fortune, my Golden Light Temple can truly flourish, even spreading Buddhism throughout more starfields! This is a golden opportunity to promote the supreme achievements of our Buddha!" ​​His voice boomed, carrying a seductive power. "This fiend stands in the evil realm, disrupting the cycle of reincarnation; he is truly a demon! Subduing demons and eliminating evil is the duty of us Buddhist disciples! Eighteen Vajra Protectors, gather eight hundred Arhat monks, and accompany this old monk to carry out thunderous measures to safeguard the orthodox Heavenly Dao!"

"We will obey the Buddha's decree!" The eighteen Vajra protectors, each twelve feet tall and with bodies as if cast in gold, responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the hall.

The three Nascent Soul stage masters, each with their own ulterior motives, were united by the bounty offered by the Celestial Court. Under their leadership and coordination, an unprecedentedly massive "Anti-Rebellion Alliance" was assembled at an astonishing speed!

Besides these three main forces, hundreds of small and medium-sized sects, renowned rogue cultivators and cunning star hunters, and other powerful forces also gathered from all directions towards the main force of the allied forces, like hyenas smelling blood.

The scene in the starry sky was terrifying.

The "Ice Soul Starship" in the Xuanming Starfield is like a moving iceberg continent, exuding a chill that freezes the soul. It is surrounded by a dense array of ice crystal shuttles carrying Xuanming Guards.

The ferocious bone ships of the Sirius Clan converged into a silvery torrent, with wolf howls rising and falling, and a violent aura stirring the starry sky.

The Buddhist treasure ship of Jin Guang Temple radiated a peaceful yet murderous golden light, with the sounds of Buddhist chants and war drums strangely intertwined. Countless strangely shaped warships and magical artifacts from different races and factions were mixed in, colorful and vibrant, yet all exuding greed and murderous intent towards "Lin Xuan" and his "Netherworld".

At the heart of the allied forces, aboard the "Immortal Slayer," a temporary command ship jointly built by the three parties, stood three Nascent Soul giants: Ancestor Xuanming, Howling Moon Wolf (who had transformed into human form, a burly man with silver hair and red eyes), and Golden Pool Arhat. They gazed through the massive porthole at the boundless allied fleet outside, radiating an aura of destruction.

"Based on the final spatial fluctuations, Lin Xuan and his Netherworld are hidden deep within the Shattered Star Corridor ahead," said the Xuanming Ancestor in a cold voice.

"Heh heh, the Shattered Star Corridor? Perfect! Let's crush it, along with that evil realm, into dust!" Howling Moon Wolf licked his lips, his eyes flashing with bloodlust. "Amitabha! With our three forces combined, we have over a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, countless Golden Core cultivators, and a combined army of hundreds of millions! Such power is more than enough to sweep across a star field, let alone deal with a mere Nascent Soul cultivator!" Golden Pool Arhat clasped his hands together, his tone filled with confidence and killing intent. "This battle should be fought with overwhelming force, ending it in one fell swoop! Let's display the might of our allied forces and present the head of the rebellious immortal to the Celestial Court!" "Order the entire army!" Ancestor Xuanming, as the temporary initiator of the alliance, shouted in a deep voice, "Target: Shattered Star Corridor! Advance!"

"kill--!"

"Tread down the underworld!"

"Seize their destiny!"

The deafening shouts of battle, the sound of war drums, and the blaring of horns, accompanied by the roar of millions of warship engines, converged into a destructive torrent! The anti-rebel coalition, like a death cloud that blots out the sun, or a steel storm sweeping across the starry sky, with the will to crush everything, officially marched fiercely toward Lin Xuan's location!

Wherever the army marched, the starry sky trembled, and all living beings lay dormant! This terrifying force, which gathered forces from multiple sides and was led by three Nascent Soul cultivators, was so powerful that it even dimmed some small stars along its path and slightly distorted the spatial structure!

Such a tremendous commotion caused the invisible storm of murderous intent and evil thoughts to surge like a tsunami, crashing against the edge of the Shattered Star Corridor and slamming against the walls of the Primordial Netherworld!

"Buzz—!"

Deep within the Underworld Palace, Lin Xuan suddenly opened his eyes! The scenes of the creation and destruction of the universe rapidly swirled within them, a cold, sharp glint flashing in his eyes!

He stood up, took a step, and was already outside the Underworld Palace.

There was no need for his subordinates to report; the terrifying malice and killing intent emanating from the stars, directed at him personally, was so intense it was impossible to ignore, as clear as a beacon fire in the night!

He looked up, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of the underworld, passing through layers of shattered stars, and seeing the surging torrent of the allied forces that was enough to make any Nascent Soul cultivator or even an ordinary Deity Transformation cultivator despair.

Behind them, the Black and White Impermanence, the Judge, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and other Yin Gods manifested one after another. Sensing the terrifying pressure from the outside world, each of them had a solemn expression, their divine light restrained, and they were ready for battle.

Lin Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his black robes fluttering gently in the breeze of the Netherworld. Far from showing fear, his face slowly curved into a cold and arrogant smile. That smile contained mockery, disdain, and even more so, a resolute determination to look down upon all heavens and stop killing with killing!

"Finally... they've arrived?" he murmured to himself, his voice carrying the clear sound of metal and stone, reaching the ears of every Yin spirit.

"Alright."

"My underworld, my cycle of reincarnation, needs a baptism of blood to proclaim its existence!"

"Issue the order!" His voice suddenly turned cold, carrying the majesty of an unparalleled ruler, resounding throughout the Netherworld: "Netherworld on alert! The cycle of reincarnation continues!"

"Gods, take your places and prepare..."

"Charge!"
