I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

"ah--!"

Screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

The two kings, Mourning Gate and Annihilation, were sent flying backwards at the same time, their weapons shattering on the spot from the heavy blow.

The two were filled with resentment, their cultivation levels were completely suppressed, and they couldn't exert even a fraction of their strength.

"Let us out if you dare!"

"Do you dare to fight a fair fight?!"

Both men were badly injured and shouted wildly, trying to provoke Bai Qi.

But is Bai Qi so easily provoked?

How could Lord Wu'an, who had never been defeated in his lifetime of battles, be swayed by such a trick?

He looked up at the City of Horrors, drew his longsword, and swung it through the air.

"Massacre the city!"

These two short words, brimming with murderous intent, shook heaven and earth.

The remaining millions of underworld soldiers swept down like a tidal wave, and a great battle broke out instantly.

The outcome of the battle was predetermined from the very beginning.

The two kings were trapped inside the formation, and the entire army of 100,000 Rakshasa demons was wiped out.

The ghost army in the city was leaderless and had no will to fight. Under the crushing force of the underworld army, they fled in disarray.

At the same time, the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation reached its peak operation.

Within the formation, sand and stones flew, and blood-red mist surged, rushing madly towards the two kings, Mourning Gate and Annihilation.

"This is……"

Caught off guard, the two inhaled the mist and immediately felt dizzy and unsteady on their feet.

They were horrified to discover that their cultivation was rapidly diminishing.

"This mist can actually devour souls!"

They wanted to hurl insults, but they couldn't even muster the strength to utter a sound.

The great formation continued its relentless attack, and a surge of black energy swept over them, engulfing the two of them.

The two ghost immortals were actually worn down to death in the formation.

The battle below is also nearing its end.

More than half of the ghosts in the City of Horrors were killed. Bai Qi did not pursue those who fled, and all those who surrendered were killed. Only those who fought to the death and refused to yield were given special consideration by him and were recruited on the spot.

In the end, an elite force of four to five hundred thousand ghost soldiers surrendered, and with a little training, they became an unparalleled fighting force.

After Bai Qi captured the City of Horrors, he immediately led his troops to sweep across Yinshan.

Wherever it went, all forces either fled or submitted.

Even General Mendun readily surrendered with his troops.

He wasn't stupid; the fate of the Dream City was right before his eyes, so how could he dare to try and stop it?

Only in the Abyss Valley did things turn out differently than Bai Qi had expected. The Dark Abyss Demon King, seeing that the Underworld was about to sweep through Yin Mountain, was unwilling to accept this and launched a fierce attack.

"What a wicked underworld! How dare you be so domineering! Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite! Release that terrifying being!"

He led tens of thousands of his cronies in a frenzied charge toward a forbidden area.

When Bai Qi arrived at the Abyss Valley, only a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals remained; the Dark Abyss Demon King had long since disappeared.

Just then, a terrifying aura surged into the sky from the distant mountain peaks!

The roar was extremely strange, sounding like a dog, a tiger, and a bull, the three sounds intertwined, eerie and terrifying.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, not from fear, but from an instinctive sense of oppression.

"not good!"

The newly surrendered General Mendun's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief. "Has the Dark Abyss Demon King gone mad? He actually released that thing!"

He clearly knew what was going on and was extremely flustered.

"What are you talking about?"

Bai Qi's eyes darkened. He had long sensed that Yinshan held a shocking secret, and today the mystery would be revealed.

"General, beneath Yinshan Mountain, a... Qiongqi is being suppressed!"

Bai Qi's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Qiongqi?"

One of the four ancient ferocious beasts!

In terms of ferocity, even the Candle Dragon would have to give way.

Beneath the Yin Mountains, such an ancient ferocious beast is being suppressed?

This is truly appalling!

"It's not a fully grown Qiongqi!"

"No, it's an adult, but not at its peak adulthood!"

General Mendun was so anxious that he became incoherent, and it took a lot of effort for Bai Qi to understand the truth.

Qiongqi is an ancient ferocious beast. A Qiongqi at its peak can roam freely in the underworld.

Two thousand years ago, this Qiongqi broke into the ancient You Kingdom and swallowed the crown prince of the ancient You Kingdom whole.

The ancient You Kingdom ruler was furious. The ancient You Kingdom was a top power in the underworld, standing for countless years, and its ruler was a great supernatural being.

But the other party is Qiongqi!

What's a few people to an ancient ferocious beast? It has no fear of retaliation from the Ancient You Kingdom.

Although the ancient You Kingdom hated them to the core, they dared not confront them head-on and could only endure and wait for an opportunity.

Later, for some unknown reason, Qiongqi's strength plummeted, and it encountered a fierce battle with its nemesis, suffering severe injuries and teetering on the brink of despair.

The ruler of the ancient You Kingdom seized this golden opportunity and mobilized all his forces, determined to kill Qiongqi.

Qiongqi fled all the way to Yinshan, where it was completely surrounded by experts from the ancient You Kingdom.

Weakened, it had no power to resist and was quickly subdued. However, this beast had incredible vitality and was extremely difficult to kill.

The ancient You Kingdom tried every means to completely destroy it, but to no avail. In a fit of rage, it permanently suppressed it under Yin Mountain.

Using the power of the Yinshan earth veins, suppressing this ferocious beast, which was no longer at its peak, was a piece of cake. Then, a vicious array was set up to continuously drain the Qiongqi's power, preventing it from ever recovering.

He then ordered all forces in Yinshan to guard the area for generations to come, without fail.

But Qiongqi is ultimately an ancient ferocious beast. Even if it is suppressed, it will break free of its restraints and emerge from the ground every ten years.

Its birth is marked by overwhelming violence, inevitably causing rivers of blood and widespread slaughter. All forces, large and small, on Yinshan Mountain are nothing more than fish on its chopping block.

Once the killing is complete, the broken seal will slowly revive and be suppressed back underground.

This is the reason why, although Yinshan is a treasure land, no major power dares to set foot there. Major powers need to secure their rear, and with Qiongqi around, Yinshan will never have a peaceful day.

The major powers disdain to get involved, but a group of gamblers dare to risk their lives.

For example, the two kings, Sangmen and Annihilation, were originally honored guests of the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom, but they preferred to be the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a phoenix, and insisted on establishing their own sect in Yinshan; another example is the Dark Abyss Demon King, who was alone and powerless, and unwilling to be mediocre, so he occupied the Yinshan Mountain, which was abandoned by the great power, and became the king of the mountain.

As for General Mendun, he was simply reckless and bold, without thinking much about anything else, relying solely on his courage to establish himself here.

Now that the two kings have been destroyed and the gate has surrendered, only the Dark Abyss Demon King remains unwilling to accept defeat. He has gone mad and wants to release Qiongqi to use the power of the ferocious beast to fight against the army of the underworld.

After understanding the cause and effect, Bai Qi not only did not panic, but became even more calm and cold, his eyes sharp as knives.

"I ask you, you said Qiongqi only dares to appear once every ten years, and now that the time has not yet come, how dare the Dark Abyss Demon King release it?"

Bai Qi asked in a deep voice, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

General Mendun quickly replied, "The three of us investigated the seal together before. In recent years, it has become increasingly unstable, and the frequency of Qiongqi's appearances has also increased! Although we have personally reinforced it, it's only a drop in the ocean. Fortunately, the Ancient You Kingdom is aware of this matter and has said they will come soon to set up a powerful seal that can slowly wear down Qiongqi!"

It turns out that the underworld has now been revived, and various forces have risen rapidly with the help of the great changes in the world. The Ancient Nether Kingdom is now confident enough to dare to attempt to completely kill Qiongqi.

"The seal is inherently fragile; with a little manipulation, the Dark Abyss Demon King can easily help Qiongqi break free!"

Bai Qi instantly grasped the key point, but General Mendun was so anxious he stamped his feet: "General, let's retreat quickly!"

"Don't be fooled by the fact that Qiongqi has been drained of its power and its strength has declined over the years; it is still extremely ferocious. Back then, it swallowed hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers in one gulp!"

When recalling the past, General Mendun's eyes were filled with lingering fear.

"I have been ordered to capture Yinshan. With this mission accomplished, there is absolutely no reason for me to retreat!"

Bai Qi's tone was resolute. Although he was not arrogant, he would never back down in the face of battle.

He immediately summoned a messenger and sternly ordered, "Go to Fengdu immediately, meet with Lord Zhong Jiu, and report the situation here in detail!"

Although he was decisive, he also knew that Qiongqi was a difficult problem and that he needed to consult his superiors for a decision.

The messenger obeyed and galloped off. Bai Qi raised his hand and pointed in the direction from which the roar came, his voice shaking the surrounding fields: "All troops, attack! Follow me and meet this ancient ferocious beast!"

A million-strong army of underworld beings rode on black clouds, surging towards the scene of the incident like a tidal wave, their imposing momentum overwhelming and blotting out the sun.

Outside the cave where Qiongqi was sealed, the Dark Abyss Demon King, his face contorted with fanaticism and his eyes gleaming with madness, roared: "Come out! Slaughter them all, raze the Underworld to the ground!"

He poured all his strength into creating a jet-black palm print, which he then slammed into the cave entrance.

A pale blue light enveloped the cave entrance, and ripples spread outwards, completely dissipating the palm strike. He had not intended to destroy the seal; he had merely borrowed external force to assist Qiongqi.

Sure enough, heavy footsteps echoed from inside the cave, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The Dark Abyss Demon King hurriedly fled in a sorry state. He was not stupid; Qiongqi had lost its mind and only knew how to kill. If he was not careful, he would be swallowed up as well.

Just as they took cover, dark clouds rolled in. The Dark Abyss Demon King's lips curled into a sinister smile as he clenched his fists and muttered, "You destroyed my fellow cultivators, so Qiongqi will destroy you! Then, this Yinshan Mountain will be my alone!"

He had a clever plan; he hoped that Qiongqi and the underworld would perish together so that he could reap the benefits.

"General, that is the place where Qiongqi is sealed!"

General Mendun pointed to the cave below, his voice trembling.

Bai Qi stared intently as the heavy footsteps grew closer and louder.

Finally, a huge head emerged from the cave entrance, resembling a tiger's head, but several times larger than an ordinary tiger, exuding a fierce and awe-inspiring presence.

Roar--!

The strange roar sounded again, like a dog, a tiger, and a bull, making people's hearts tremble with fear.

Qiongqi crashed into the seal, causing the light barrier to tremble violently and ripple wildly. Ultimately, it could not withstand the pressure and shattered into countless points of light.
