The Great Ruler wanted to lie down but was thrown into the Spirit Road.

"Then the only option is war."

Wu Ling's lips curled into a wide grin, the burning heat in his chest making him feel as if his whole body was on fire. The Thousand-Pound Battle Staff swirled around him, and with a single step, he charged towards the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast.

The Netherworld Beast looked at the human who dared to challenge its majesty, and roared simultaneously from the mouths of its eight heads. The sound was like the voice of the underworld, which silenced all things and made the lake behind it ripple.

It raised its sharp claws, gathering overwhelming murderous aura in its palms, and slammed them down fiercely onto Wu Ling's battle staff.

"boom!"

The two collided with a loud bang. Wu Ling's eyes flashed with horror. His full strength was instantly shattered by that overwhelming force.

Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan watched as Wu Ling crashed to the ground like a cannonball, their eyes filled with seriousness. Although they knew there would be a gap, they did not expect this result. With just one collision, he directly demonstrated an almost unparalleled power.

Suppressing their inner turmoil, they shot forward, simultaneously striking with their soft swords and spears to prevent him from continuing to attack Wu Ling.

However, the Netherworld Beast ignored Wu Ling and once again raised its terrifying claws, lunging straight at the two of them.

Seeing that rampaging, ferocious aura, Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan felt as if they were truly facing an ancient, savage beast. The sheer power emanating from its massive body was enough to terrify anyone.

However, they were not afraid. They exchanged a glance, took a step, and dodged away from the Netherworld Beast's attack. At the same time, the steel needles in their hands shot straight at his head.

However, when these steel needles struck the eight heads of the Netherworld Beast, they only produced a "ding-ding-ding" sound and had no other effect.

The Nether Beast raised its claws and stood in front of its largest head, licked its mouth, and then roared again. The spikes of its eight giant tails simultaneously unfurled and shot towards Yun Mo and the other person.

It seemed they wanted to see whose steel needles were more domineering.

Yun Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and a black cloth appeared in his hand, covering his entire body. Wen Qingxuan on the other side did the same, with a black cloth appearing to hide her delicate body.

Just as they were covered by the black cloth, the spikes crossed the space and arrived in an instant, striking the black cloth with a deafening "boom".

Wu Yingying stood on an ancient tree, her eyes filled with worry. She wanted to join them, but the battlefield there was too terrifying for her to approach. She could only pray in her heart while gathering her energy in her longbow, ready to shoot it out to help at any time.

Hiding under the black cloth, Yun Mo exhaled a breath of stale air. Although the black cloth had protected him from the spikes, the force of the impact had still made his arm go numb.

Once the noise from the spikes subsided, the black cloth was removed.

He stared at the Netherworld Beast, and the soft sword in his hand instantly straightened. Since being thrown into the Spirit Road, he had never been in such danger.

"This is probably the first time I've gone all out since entering the Spirit Path?"

Yun Mo muttered to himself. After he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, as if eternal sword light appeared. These sword lights transformed into sword energy, cutting through everything and causing the surroundings to decay. This kind of power, even if it was not as good as the Netherworld Beast in front of him, was already comparable.

Then, he stomped his foot heavily, carrying an astonishing pressure, and slashed fiercely at the right wing of the Netherworld Beast.

At this moment, the Netherworld Beast also sensed the threat posed by this human. Its eight heads turned simultaneously, and the pupils hidden in its blue face and fangs opened, staining its massive body with a bloodthirsty aura.

It let out another deafening roar, and with the power of its bloodthirsty aura, it fiercely attacked Yun Mo.

The upright sword exuded a decaying aura, while the blood-red claws carried an overwhelming murderous aura. The two clashed fiercely, resulting in the most terrifying collision on the spiritual path.

At that moment, the entire world lost its color, as if the world had gone deaf, and no sound could be heard.

Only the broken ancient trees and the upturned earth everywhere show how terrifying the aftershocks of the collision were.

Seeing the scene before her, Wen Qingxuan let out a soft "humph" from her red lips, and then seized the opportunity of the stalemate between the two to grip the golden spear tightly.

At this moment, just like Yun Mo, she exerted all her strength, and her aura soared into the sky in an instant.

Her golden spear also burst forth with an extremely dazzling golden light, which complemented her golden armor and red dress.

With one step, she leaped into the air, and under the light of heaven and earth, she resembled a golden phoenix, spreading her wings and soaring high as she swooped down towards the Netherworld Beast.

The spear pierced the back of the Netherworld Beast, causing it to let out a furious roar that shook the earth.

Its long tail lashed out, unleashing a burst of power that sent Yun Mo flying. Then it turned and ripped at Wen Qingxuan's delicate body, causing her to cough up blood and fly backward in a single blow.

However, at the moment of this deadly battle, Wu Yingying, who was standing at a distance, seized the opportunity, gathered all the blood and energy in her body into her hand, and transferred it to her longbow.

"die!"

With a furious shout, she released her fingers, sending a blood-red arrow formed from her entire body's blood and energy traversing the entire valley, striking one of the Netherworld Beast's heads and piercing through it.

"Awooo!"

With each shot and arrow, the Netherworld Beast howled in agony, suffering severe damage.

However, just as it was leaving Yun Mo and Wen Qingxuan behind and trying to temporarily escape back to the lake, a battle staff rose from the sky with tremendous force and brutally smashed into its other head, blasting it away.

"Netherworld Beast!"

"Martial Spirit!"

Exhausted, Wu Yingying collapsed to the ground, but when she saw Wu Ling reappear in the arena, a smile appeared on her face, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

After the attack, although the Nether Beast was severely injured and its body turned blood red, everyone else also showed signs of exhaustion.

The group gathered together and confronted the Netherworld Beast once again.

"I think I can't fight anymore." Wu Ling stretched out his arm, which was dripping with blood and trembling constantly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

That blow almost exhausted all his strength; the fact that he's still standing is a result of his sheer willpower.

Wen Qingxuan was also somewhat exhausted. She breathed softly, her breath as delicate as an orchid. She looked at Yun Mo, whose face was full of coldness, and said, "If you want to continue fighting, quickly take out the pills."

Wu Ling was taken aback. "There are also pills?"

Yun Mo's clothes were torn, and his cold pupils swept over the two of them, causing Wu Ling to pause slightly. Even Wen Qingxuan was a little stunned, as they had never seen Yun Mo with such an expression before.

Yun Mo paused, nodded, and tossed the pill bottle in his hand to the two of them. "It contains Qi-restoring pills. That Netherworld Beast is far from over."

His words made the two of them turn their attention back to the Netherworld Beast.

Suddenly, a thick black mist began to emanate from the Netherworld Beast, enveloping it and making it impossible to discern what was happening.

Wu Ling clicked his tongue, deeply feeling his helplessness. If he were to encounter this Netherworld Beast alone, he would surely die.

"The same thing will happen later. The three of you will split up and be positioned in three different directions. I'll take the lead this time. You guys recover as quickly as possible."

Wen Qingxuan nodded to Wu Ling, swallowed the Qi-restoring pills, and made the most of this time to recover some strength.

But in the short time they were talking, the black mist surrounding the Nether Beast began to dissipate.

A Nightblazing Nether Beast, now with a completely different appearance and only one head, reappeared, its power even greater than before.

Yun Mo asked softly, "I didn't expect you to recover so quickly. How are you all doing now?"

"I've only recovered 30% of my strength." Wu Ling was somewhat ashamed. That initial slap had indeed caused him considerable injury. Although the Nine-Leaf Fruit's secret power was strong, it was not something that could be recovered in a short time.

"I'll go with you," Wen Qingxuan said, looking at Yun Mo with her phoenix eyes.

Yun Mo shook his head. "You guys recover first. I'll hold it off. When its momentum weakens, then you can make your move. Remember, we only have one chance. If we lose, we'll have to run away."

After saying that, Yun Mo's icy aura reappeared.

Watching him flash away and continue his death struggle with the Netherworld Beast, Wu Ling felt utterly powerless, and for the first time, a sense of defeat welled up inside her. "Do you even know who he is?"

Wen Qingxuan pursed her lips, her phoenix eyes fixed on the figure. "I don't know, but we'll find out later."

Yun Mo's soft sword flew horizontally, its shadows flowing endlessly, each strike aimed at striking the Netherworld Beast's vitals, causing it to bleed profusely.

However, due to the difference in strength, neither was able to deliver a fatal blow, and the two remained deadlocked.

With another collision, Yun Mo, somewhat exhausted, was caught by the Netherworld Beast's claws, leaving a deep gash that made him groan.

He retreated rapidly, took a deep breath, and suppressed the flush on his face. As he blinked, the soft sword in his hand began to blur.

The secret power of time and space is his greatest asset.

Qing Yilun's assessment of him was that he was the most talented person he had ever met, without exception.

The most important thing is that he was able to grasp a trace of the mysteries of time and space at a very young age.

"So what if you can't use your spiritual energy? Spacetime exists in everything. No matter how high your cultivation or how strong your strength is, you are just a drop in the ocean in the long river of time."

The sword tip moved with Yun Mo's mind, unleashing boundless black and white energy, a decaying mystery brought about by the ultimate spatial and temporal realm.

His lips trembled slightly, causing the entire world to change color:

"Tai Xu!"

As the two words were uttered, an extremely terrifying, decaying sword intent emerged from the tip of the sword. At that moment, it seemed to have a physical form, piercing towards the only head of the Night Emperor Netherworld Beast.

Fear finally appeared in the fierce eyes of the Netherworld Beast. It had not expected that the human in front of it could unleash such a terrifying aura, and the sword light made it feel an extreme sense of danger.

It wanted to retreat and sink to the bottom of the lake to hide, but the space it was in was locked by this sword intent and became extremely muddy. If it retreated, it would only perish.

In that instant, it went mad. To survive, it had to fight to the death against the attack. It roared and desperately gathered all the evil energy it could muster in the basin, converging it in front of it. The spikes on its back also peeled off and merged into the evil energy.

Its upper body stood upright, its claws forming a cross, propelling it forward with the most powerful strike.
