Mortal: Starting with the Falling Cloud Sect, I proved my Dao through gacha pulls.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye. Deep in the dark land, in a desert as red as blood.

With a mournful cry, the last of the several-zhang-tall Yinming Beasts, covered in jet-black scales, crashed its massive body onto the blood-red sand, raising clouds of red sand. It then completely lost its breath, becoming another cold and ferocious corpse at Su Mu's feet.

Looking out, the entire blood-red desert was littered with the remains of all sorts of Yin-Yang beasts, their foul-smelling, viscous, dark blood seeping out continuously, soaking the crimson sand and adding a chillingly malevolent aura to the already eerie desert.

Su Mu stepped forward slowly, easily breaking open the hard head of the last Yinming Beast, and took out a green Yinming Beast Crystal from it.

He casually flicked the blood off his hands, held the beast crystal up to his eyes and examined it closely, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"As expected, the stronger the Yinming Beast is, the better the quality of the Yinming Beast Crystal that is nurtured in its body, and the more concentrated the Yinming power it contains."

He muttered something to himself, nodded slightly, and showed little joy on his face. He simply put the beast crystal into his world ring.

Since he first descended upon the stone forest of the Netherworld, he has traversed it, and every Netherworld beast he encountered, regardless of its species or strength, was slain by him.

As he swept through the land, he himself lost count of how many Yin beasts he had killed. He only knew that the Yin Beast Crystals accumulated in his ring were approaching a thousand.

However, after this cleanup, this usually dangerous and treacherous place will be able to remain peaceful for a while.

After storing the newly acquired beast crystal in his world ring, Su Mu looked up into the distance and saw the shadowy silhouette of a towering mountain faintly emerging on the horizon, shrouded in a light mist.

According to the villagers of Hongtu Village, the mountain shrouded in dark clouds in front of them should be Storm Mountain.

Recalling the information he had gathered in the village, Su Mu's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly made his plans.

During this period, besides focusing on hunting Yinming Beasts to collect Beast Crystals, he also passed through several small human villages along the way.

Not long ago, he encountered a group of powerful Netherworld Beasts attacking Red Earth Village. He immediately took action and wiped out the entire group of beasts in an instant. His overwhelming strength left the villagers of Red Earth Village dumbfounded, almost doubting that he was a humanoid demon beast.

However, Su Mu did not linger in these villages. He simply collected some sunken water and put it into his world ring before setting off again.

Now, he has swept away several large gathering points of Netherworld Beasts in the Netherworld Land. Looking across the entire region, only Storm Mountain still has a large number of Netherworld Beasts, which is his next target.

With this thought in mind, Su Mu didn't delay any longer. He lightly stepped forward, and his figure shot out like an arrow, rushing towards Storm Mountain.

Storm Mountain is located in the northeast corner of the entire Underworld. The mountain is over a thousand feet high, majestic and imposing, piercing the clouds.

The area above the halfway point of the mountain was completely shrouded in thick, dark clouds, making it pitch black and impossible to see anything clearly. Only a faint, menacing aura emanated from it, inspiring fear in those who looked upon it.

In less than half a day, Su Mu traversed the flat foothills and arrived at the foot of this ominous mountain.

The entire Storm Mountain is made up of bare, dark black rocks, which are cold, hard, barren, and devoid of any life.

Moreover, a biting, eerie wind blows through the mountains year-round, and turning the page reveals another world. The Yin energy is so dense it's almost tangible, which is why countless powerful Yin beasts have gathered here, including many ferocious and monstrous leaders.

Su Mu glanced at the densely packed figures of Yin beasts in the dark clouds and couldn't help but grin.

"Great! They're all mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pushed off with his feet, completely ignoring the biting cold wind in the mountains. With a sway of his body, he charged straight towards the area where the Yin beasts were most concentrated.

Before long, roars of beasts echoed throughout Stormwind Mountain, and the entire mountain's horde of Netherworld beasts surged upwards in a frenzied rampage.

Strangely, those ferocious roars would often stop abruptly after only a moment, replaced by a deathly silence, repeating several times, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

The commotion was so great that even the villagers of Hongtu Village at the foot of the mountain could clearly feel it.

At first, they thought that the beasts on Storm Mountain had been disturbed and were about to rush down the mountain to wreak havoc on the village. Everyone was armed and on high alert for a long time with fear in their hearts.

Several days passed, and the commotion on Storm Mountain gradually subsided, but not a single Yinming Beast rushed down the mountain. The villagers were filled with doubt and uncertainty, and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Suddenly, the mysterious figure who had casually annihilated a group of Yinming Beasts a few days ago reappeared in everyone's minds. The shocking scene of wiping out the beast horde with a wave of his hand was something they would never forget in their lives.

A burly villager holding a bone spear stared blankly in the direction of Storm Mountain, his voice filled with disbelief and excitement.

"That senior was heading towards Storm Mountain that day. Could the commotion on the mountain be...?"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, finding the idea too horrifying to continue.

The other villagers' expressions also changed. They all swallowed hard, staring blankly at the completely calm Storm Mountain, muttering, "Impossible..."

......

At the summit of Storm Mountain, Su Mu stepped on the corpse of the last dragon-shaped Yinming Beast, which was tens of feet tall and had four wings on its back.

He glanced down at the entire mountain, and after confirming that there wasn't a single living Netherworld Beast left, he couldn't help but purse his lips and complain with a hint of regret, "That's it? I haven't had my fill of killing yet."

The Yin-Yang Beasts on Storm Mountain are indeed far more powerful than the Yin-Yang Beasts in other places. These past few days of close-quarters combat, with each punch landing squarely, have been exhilarating for him, and he feels his blood and energy flowing more freely throughout his body.

This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for other cultivators from the Netherworld to ascend Storm Mountain.

Apart from the still fierce and powerful yin winds in the mountains, the danger of this once ominous mountain has been greatly reduced for at least the next ten years or so, until new yin beasts are conceived and bred again.

"Forget it, we've already achieved our goal of getting so many Netherworld Beast Crystals this time. We can just come back to harvest more next time."

After picking up the last piece of Yinming Beast Crystal from the mountaintop and storing it in his world ring, Su Mu shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He then looked up at the gloomy sky above the mountain peak, examined it carefully for a moment, but found no signs that a spatial rift was about to open.

"It seems it's not the right time to start yet, so let's not waste any more time here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu took out the Qiankun Disc, locked onto a coordinate recorded on it, and the space around him slightly distorted. His figure disappeared instantly on the summit of Storm Mountain, leaving behind only the mountain full of beast corpses and howling yin winds.
