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

Where there are people, there will be conflict; this is an eternal truth.

"That's enough!"

The white-haired old man frowned, and shouted sternly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority, "A mere bunch of little demons, nothing more than appetizers, are they worth fighting to the death for?"

"In this world today, opportunities and treasures abound; why worry about not finding something to gain?"

"Fellow Daoists, let's broaden our horizons! We have already left that resource-poor little Yuan Realm; the future holds great promise!"

The white-haired old man held immense prestige among the group. After he finished speaking, the fighting cultivators all stopped, though their eyes still held a hint of resentment.

They each harbored their own thoughts: some wanted to find their former sects and restore their glory; some wanted to establish their own sects and schools; some wanted to travel around in search of extraordinary opportunities; and others planned to continue slaughtering demons, seizing demon cores to cultivate and quickly increase their strength.

The white-haired elder had already seen through everyone's thoughts. He smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoists, from now on, may the sky be as high as birds and the sea as wide as fish. Take care, and farewell!"

The cultivators all bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Respectfully seeing you off, senior! Farewell!"

As soon as they finished speaking, everyone used their movement techniques, transforming into streaks of light that sped off in all directions and disappeared into the horizon in an instant.

Back then, countless cultivators flocked to the Lesser Yuan Realm, but the area was resource-poor and rife with conflict. Over the centuries, only a few thousand people were able to survive and leave the passage to reach this Perfect World.

Their appearance was destined to stir up a tremendous upheaval in the peaceful world of the living.

A thousand people falling into the vast world are like a drop of water into the ocean, seemingly insignificant.

But this drop of water is no ordinary thing.

Among them, the shortest has cultivated for hundreds of years, while the longest is an ancient monster who has lived for over a thousand years. Their foundation is so profound that it is terrifying. However, due to the constraints of the laws of heaven and earth, they have been unable to break through their current realm for a long time.

Now that they have entered the Great World, two-thirds of them are already eager to break through to a higher realm, their auras stirring with anticipation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of their advantages.

Because they came from a resource-poor land, they meticulously calculated every bit of spiritual energy. Their supernatural powers, magic, weapon crafting, and alchemy skills had long been unparalleled. When they used them, there was zero tolerance for mistakes and no flaws, and their power far exceeded that of their peers.

Born in the purgatory of the Lesser Yuan Realm, where they fought day and night, those who survived were all fierce warriors who had rolled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, possessing terrifying combat experience to the extreme.

Furthermore, because they possess complete inheritances, the life wealth and lineage of those cultivators who died at their hands were all devoured by them. Now that these inheritances have appeared in the world, they are enough to create top-tier experts in large numbers.

Though they are but a drop of water, they are enough to boil an entire ocean!

In just a few months, the mortal realm, which had been quiet due to the seclusion of various sects, was suddenly thrown into turmoil, with no peace ever again.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zhong Jiu, who is in the underworld.

It wasn't that he was unaware of the emergence of cultivators from the Lesser Yuan Realm, but rather that these people arrived much later than he had anticipated.

By now, Zhong Jiu has long since stopped caring about them.

These people pose almost no threat to him.

"The appearance of this group of people can fill the gap in the cultivation world of the mortal realm."

With Chung Kau's current status, his vision has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

The cultivation world in the mortal realm is still in its infancy, and everyone is groping their way forward in the dark, making progress extremely difficult.

The arrival of cultivators from the Lesser Yuan Realm is just what fills the gaps and propels the entire cultivation world to develop rapidly.

Of course, their actions were ultimately for their own benefit.

Killing and looting were inevitable in the process.

But Chung Kau was too lazy to get involved. As long as they abided by the laws of the underworld and did not cross the line, all conflicts would be considered reasonable.

As long as innocent civilians are not killed indiscriminately, the earth's veins are not damaged, and evil deeds that anger heaven and man and are abhorred by gods and men are not committed, Chung Kau will not meddle in other people's business.

But Zhong Jiu also has someone he cares about.

That was his younger sister, Chung Ying-mei.

Even in the underworld, he kept a close eye on his sister's movements.

Zhong Yingmei's cultivation speed is astonishing. The heaven-defying opportunity given to her by Zhong Jiu is allowing her to grow rapidly, making rapid progress every day.

However, its rapid growth eventually attracted countless prying eyes.

Many people had long suspected what kind of heaven-defying inheritance the cultivation technique she practiced was.

Zhong Jiu knew that all of this was inevitable.

Once Chung Ying-mei embarks on this path, she will inevitably face storms and covetousness. He will protect her life, but he will not raise her into a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

It wasn't that he was heartless, but rather that Zhong Yingmei was naturally rebellious and preferred to face challenges head-on.

The younger sister has her own path. Zhong Jiu only needs to hold the line; the rest is up to her to explore.

Time flies, like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

That year, the underworld was filled with the sounds of battle and rivers of blood.

However, it has nothing to do with the underworld.

Bai Qi has already gathered 12 million Yin soldiers under his command, who train day and night and are at the height of their military might. Before the army is fully formed, he will no longer recruit a single soldier.

The truly frenzied battles were fought by the powerful ghost clan members who crawled out of the Yin Cave. They had no taboos and either slaughtered each other or fought to the death against the ancient forces of the underworld.

Every day, countless ghosts are wiped out, and the small forces in the underworld are completely reshuffled, reshaping the landscape.

A completely new underworld structure is quietly taking shape.

Within this structure, there are several transcendent forces that are taboo entities that no one dares to touch.

Neither the cunning villains nor the newly risen ghost heroes dared to provoke them.

The underworld was also classified as a transcendent force.

However, there has been much discussion and controversy from the outside world.

Most ghosts believe that the Underworld has swept through Yin Mountain, destroyed the Rakshasa, and possesses a strong and powerful army. It also controls Fengdu, the most powerful city in the Underworld, which is mysterious and unpredictable and gathers the fortune of the Underworld. It is undoubtedly a transcendent force.

However, some people scoffed, believing that the underworld had never experienced a real bloodbath, and that the likes of Yinshan were nothing but small fry, while the Rakshasa Ghost Kingdom was only a mid-to-high-level force.

If the underworld wants to secure its transcendent position, it must prove itself through an epic battle.

Rumors spread, and the name of the underworld not only did not decline, but instead resounded even more throughout the netherworld.

Amidst the uproar and controversy, a shocking piece of news reverberated throughout the underworld!

The ancient You Kingdom, which firmly holds the top position of transcendent power, has officially declared war on the Underworld!

The news swept across the land, terrifying all ghosts.

All the fighting between the Ancient Nether Kingdom and the Underworld, spanning thousands of miles of territory, came to an abrupt end.

The clash between two extraordinary forces instantly became the focus of global attention!

"The Ancient Nether Kingdom has declared war on the Underworld because of the Qiongqi incident!"

"Qiongqi is just an excuse; their true intention is to covet Fengdu and seize the fortune of the underworld!"

"In any case, an earth-shattering battle is about to erupt!"

The ghosts were in uproar, and the discussions went on and on.

The other transcendent forces held their breath and watched closely.

This is a great battle that could overturn the order of the underworld.

Whether the underworld or the ancient You Kingdom wins, it will trigger a chain of massive changes.

Even if the victor wins only a Pyrrhic victory, he will inevitably be swallowed up by others.

If the two sides remain deadlocked, it will only waste national strength and leave weaknesses. This is why top powers never easily start a war.

Once action is taken, it will give those ambitious individuals who are sitting on the sidelines and watching the tigers fight an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Many ghosts secretly thought that the Ancient Nether Kingdom's move was too reckless. Did they really think they could crush everything and swallow the Underworld whole?

Just when all the major powers felt that the Ancient Nether Kingdom had made a mistake, another explosive piece of news completely stunned all the ghosts!

The Hanming Kingdom, also a transcendent power, has formed an alliance with the Guyou Kingdom. The two countries will join forces to jointly attack the Yinsi!

"The underworld is completely finished this time!"

A single thought arises, instantly sweeping across the underworld and becoming the consensus of all living beings.

The Hanming Kingdom occupies the Hanming Land, keeping a low profile and remaining mysterious, rarely getting involved in outside conflicts.

Although its reputation is not as high as other forces, it is a well-established and powerful force with a deep foundation.

Two top powers simultaneously launch an attack on the Underworld.

What can the underworld use to resist?

There is absolutely no chance of winning!

For a time, the entire underworld was waiting to see the destruction of the underworld.

When the news reached Fengdu, the underworld deities discussed it animatedly.

In stark contrast to the pessimism of the ghosts outside, the spirits showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, they remained calm and composed, with a hint of disdain on their lips.

"How ridiculously naive."

Despite the combined forces of the two countries pressing in, they remained completely unconcerned.

Because they firmly believe that no one in the world can shake the power of the underworld in the slightest.

A messenger from the underworld rushed into the judge's hall and bowed to present the battle report to Zhong Jiu.

"Oh? The Ancient Nether Kingdom has actually teamed up with the Cold Nether Kingdom?"

Zhong Jiu put down the Soul-Hooking Pen in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Before the New Year, he publicly rejected the ancient You Kingdom's offer of peace, offending the ancient You Kingdom and thus directly offending them.

He was already prepared for war and was waiting for the Ancient You Kingdom to come to his door, even laying out numerous backup plans.

However, the ancient You Kingdom remained inactive, as if nothing had ever happened, causing him to make preparations for nothing.

Now, the Ancient You Kingdom has finally sent troops. The only thing that surprised him was that the other side was able to persuade the Hanming Kingdom, which never interfered in worldly affairs.
