Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Sacred Heart Mantra – The Emperor Descends Upon the World!

With a long roar, Indra's body emitted golden light that coalesced into a gigantic golden dragon shadow.

The dragon's shadow spiraled upwards, emitting a deafening roar.

With an aura of supreme authority, it swooped down towards the ancient beast that guarded the prison.

This move is a deadly technique combining the "Sacred Heart Technique" and the "Emperor's Divine Palm."

It is one of Indra's trump cards, and its power far exceeds that of his previous attacks.

The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast sensed a deadly threat, and all three of its eyes simultaneously emitted a red light.

Ancient runes lit up on its black carapace.

It exuded a dense aura of death, forming a thick black protective shield.

"roar!"

Not to be outdone, it slammed its massive claws down on the ground.

The skeletal platform at the bottom of the cave collapsed instantly.

"Swish swish...!"

Countless white bones transformed into sharp bone spikes, shooting towards the golden dragon shadow.

The golden dragon shadow ignored the bone spikes and crashed directly into the black shield.

"Boom—!"

A deafening roar resounded, and the golden dragon shadow and the black protective shield simultaneously erupted with dazzling light.

A terrifying energy shockwave spread out, causing the entire cavern to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

The surrendered minister, his elder sister, and the Black and White Impermanence hurriedly used all their strength to resist, barely managing to avoid being blown away by the shockwave.

"Is this the full-force attack of a late-stage Land Immortal?"

Chang Linghao's face turned pale, and he muttered to himself.

"That's terrifying..."

The older sister clenched her fist, her eyes gleaming with excitement:

"Go, Indra! Beat this beast to a pulp, then we'll eat meat!"

As the light faded, the black protective shield was covered in cracks.

The massive body of the Prison-Suppressing Beast staggered backward, and the runes on its carapace dimmed considerably.

The golden dragon shadow had dissipated considerably, but it still carried a powerful aura as it continued to charge towards the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast.

"Now! Break through!"

With a low shout, the golden dragon shadow accelerated suddenly and slammed into the crack in the black protective shield.

"Snap!"

The black shield shattered instantly, and the golden dragon shadow engulfed the body of the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast.

"roar--!"

The ancient beast that guarded the prison let out a roar that was extremely mournful.

Its massive body struggled incessantly within the golden dragon shadow, yet it could not escape.

Its carapace shattered inch by inch, and dark red blood gushed out, staining a large area of ​​the ground red.

Taking advantage of the situation, Indra flew to the top of the ancient beast's head, pressed his left hand against the carapace, and once again gathered spiritual power in his right hand.

"The Sacred Heart Returns to Oneness"

The golden light, as dazzling as the sun, began to frantically erode the ancient beast's soul.

The Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast felt a sharp pain in its sea of ​​consciousness, as if countless steel needles were piercing it.

Its massive body began to convulse uncontrollably.

It tried to shake off the human above its head, but found its movements becoming increasingly sluggish.

"Beast, do you accept it?"

Indra's voice rang in the ancient beast's ears, carrying an irresistible pressure.

"If you submit, I will spare your life; otherwise, today is your death day!"

Although the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast is not very intelligent, it still knows how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

It could sense that the human above it possessed power far exceeding its own.

If they continue to resist, they may really be wiped out.

It hesitated for a moment, then finally let out a low whimper.

The blood-red light in the three eyes gradually faded.

Its massive body ceased struggling, clearly having chosen to submit.

Upon seeing this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Indra's eyes.

He dispersed his spiritual power, leaped down from the head of the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast, and landed on the ground.

"very good."

He looked at the ancient beast lying prostrate on the ground and spoke calmly:

"From this day forward, you will be the guardian beast of my Underworld, responsible for guarding this Abyss of Broken Souls, and you shall not harm anyone without permission."

"roar--!"

The Prison-Suppressing Beast let out a low roar, which could be considered its agreement.

The four surrendered officials flew over from afar and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Emperor Shitian was safe and sound.

"Lord Ghost Emperor, are you alright?"

The surrendered official extended his greetings with concern.

"It's alright."

Indra waved his hand, his gaze falling on the black bead on the white bone platform.

"What are those beads?"

The surrendered official stepped forward, observed carefully for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"This is... the Netherworld Pearl!"

"It contains extremely pure Netherworld power, making it a supreme treasure for cultivating Yin-cold techniques."

"Furthermore, it can be used to set up defensive formations, which are perfect for reinforcing our Underworld's protective mountain array!"

"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in Di Shitian's eyes.

"That's perfect, bring it here."

The surrendered minister nodded and was about to step forward when he was stopped by Emperor Shitian.

"Be careful, there might be a restriction around this bead."

The surrendered official followed instructions and cautiously approached the platform of bones.

Sure enough, a faint barrier was found around the platform.

She channeled her spiritual power, flicking out several streams of black energy from her fingertips, easily breaking the restriction.

This restriction was clearly set up unconsciously by the Prison-Suppressing Ancient Beast, and it is not complicated.

She walked up to the platform and took the Netherworld Pearl in her hand.

The bead felt cold to the touch and emitted a faint black light, as if countless wronged souls were howling inside.

"Such powerful Netherworld energy!" the surrendered minister exclaimed in amazement.

Indra took the Netherworld Pearl, examined it carefully for a moment, and nodded:

"It's truly a valuable item. With it, the defenses of our Underworld can be upgraded to a whole new level."

He glanced at the ancient beast that was lying prostrate on the ground, then looked at the surrounding environment:

"This Soul-Severing Abyss is quite a nice place."

"We are protected by the ancient beast that guards the prison, and we can also utilize the Netherworld Pearl."

"It would be perfect as the location for our underworld."

The surrendered official nodded in agreement:

"That's right, the seclusion here is excellent."

"Moreover, there is a natural barrier of death energy, so ordinary people don't dare to get close at all."

The older sister curiously examined the ancient beast that guarded the prison.

I reached out to touch its scales, but the ancient beast warily dodged away.

"Oh dear, why are you still afraid of your older sister?"

The older sister muttered somewhat discontentedly.

Indra smiled:

"It's naturally a bit wary now that it's just submitted, but it'll be fine after we spend more time together."

He paused, then said, "The deathly aura here is too strong; let's leave first."

Everyone nodded in agreement and followed Di Shitian away from the Abyss of Broken Souls.

Along the way, the ancient beast that guarded the prison followed respectfully behind them.

They only returned to the abyss after escorting them out of Death Valley.

After leaving Death Valley, the elder sister looked at Indra:

"Lord Indra, where do we go next?"

Indra thought for a moment, "Let's find a place to rest first."

"Then report the situation in Death Valley to the monarch and see what the monarch says?"

"yes!"

So the five of them flew toward the city closest to Death Valley.

....

Meanwhile, in Sin City, at the City Lord's Mansion.

At this moment, the smile on Li Wujiu's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity.

He sat on his throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrests, the words of Indra echoing in his mind.

"Yi Shang-tai is not a simple person."

"Someone come here."

"Your subordinate is here." A guard entered the main hall.

"Keep an eye on Yi Shangtai and see if he makes any unusual moves."

"yes!"

After the guards withdrew, Li Wujiu picked up his teacup but didn't drink it, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

……

In a side hall of the Yi residence, the coffin still lay there.

Yi Shangtai stood beside the coffin, his eyes flashing with a crazed light.

"Blood, it's almost there, almost there! Slow down!"

He took out the black jade slip from his pocket again and infused it with spiritual power.

"How's it going?"

The hoarse voice came from the jade slip.

"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Yi Shangtai lowered his voice.

"Three days later, I will use the excuse of patrolling the border and encountering you to lure Li Wujiu out of Sin City."

"At that time, my men will open a breach in the city's protective array."

"Your men can then take this opportunity to enter the city, eliminate Li Wujiu's trusted confidants, and seize control of the City Lord's Mansion!"

"very good."

The hoarse voice carried a hint of amusement.

"Hehehe! Remember, don't try anything funny, or you know what will happen."

"I see."

Yi Shangtai put away the jade slip, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

He didn't care about the fate of Sin City; he only wanted revenge for his son!
