Chapter 532 Wei Yuan's Promise
Seeing that Shi Meng had suddenly disappeared, Wei Yuan felt that she must have something else to do, and it had nothing to do with him.

Once the Dream Eater left, the Dao Foundation Warriors who were shoveling soil stopped pretending. With each shovelful, the Netherworld Soil would disappear, greatly increasing their digging speed.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of human life, Wei Yuan chose a western sea area. He first raised the seabed, then scattered the excavated Netherworld soil there, and slowly a small island of Netherworld soil appeared.

After digging for a while longer, daylight finally appeared ahead, and Wei Yuan had finally emerged from underground. His original location was actually a hundred feet underground, making it quite difficult to dig out.

The Netherworld was much the same as the last time I saw it; the sky was an endless, deep darkness, with enormous bands of light floating around it. Some of these bands of light had one end hanging down to the ground, bringing light to the world.

Wei Yuan was currently in a small valley, surrounded by undulating hills, with towering mountains reaching into the clouds in the distance. In the valley were some strangely twisted trees, leafless, with only branches ending in sharp, sword-like tips.

Wei Yuan put away his Dao Foundation Warrior and rushed to the top of a small hill. He looked up at the sky and identified the hidden stars in the deep darkness, drawing a star map amidst the human world. At the same time, he slowly moved his gaze to record the surrounding terrain and landforms into the human world.

While making basic pre-battle preparations, Wei Yuan suddenly noticed two moving dots at the edge of his field of vision. He stood still, straining his eyes to see what they were, and discovered that they were two great shamans flying at high speed toward his location.

Wei Yuan stood motionless, the ground beneath his feet softened, and he slowly sank into the soil.

Studies in the human world have long concluded that predators, including humans, shamans, and other ferocious beasts, have a much more acute sense of movement. Therefore, if Wei Yuan slowly descends, those two great shamans, even if they are only a few miles away, will most likely not see him.

Having not been to the Netherworld for a long time, Wei Yuan needed some intelligence. He suddenly remembered that he didn't yet have an effective means of controlling the Witch Clan, and there must be many similar methods to the Dream Eater. So Wei Yuan tried calling out to the Dream Eater, but there was no response.

The two high shamans moved swiftly, flying low and high, scanning the surrounding area as they flew. They were about a hundred feet above the ground, each responsible for one side, and could monitor a corridor a hundred miles wide in a single flight.

Suddenly, something moved in the high shaman's field of vision on the left. He instantly became alert, focused his eyes, and saw a humanoid creature dozens of miles away climbing up the ridge and walking along it.

"We've found him!" The two high priests worked in perfect unison, first releasing a small bird, then flanking the man from both sides.

The little bird, its entire body shimmering with a ghostly blue light, soared into the sky and vanished into the distant horizon in an instant, its speed unbelievably fast. Knowing that Wei Yuan was the one who had infiltrated the Netherworld, the two great shamans were extremely cautious, notifying their companions before launching the ambush.

Concealing their presence, they pounced on the man silently, like two cheetahs. The man remained oblivious, continuing to walk along the ridge, looking around blankly.

The two high shamans approached within a hundred feet of him, slowing their movements to ensure the attack's success. At this distance, they could clearly sense the aura left behind by the man; it was indeed Wei Yuan.

However, Wei Yuan currently only has the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and it is only at the mid-stage.

The Netherworld is rife with strange occurrences, and some extraterrestrial monsters possess abilities so terrifying they defy all reason. The two great shamans assumed Wei Yuan had encountered an accident, resulting in severe injuries that caused his cultivation level to plummet.

They landed on the ground and approached Wei Yuan from the left and right, preparing to launch a surprise attack.

Just as the great shaman on the left was about to launch a sudden attack, he suddenly stepped on something, followed by a loud bang, the ground exploded, and dozens of tiny flying swords shot out, all of which hit his lower body!
The great shaman froze for a moment, then shot into the sky with a mournful howl!
The great shaman on the other side was taken aback. When he turned his head, all he saw was a vast expanse of lightning!

The bolts of lightning merged together into a thick bolt of lightning, instantly blasting away nearly half of the great shaman's life. Wei Yuan bombarded the area for a full ten breaths, unleashing over a hundred bolts of lightning before finally stopping. The great shaman, who had been launched into the sky, now had four chains binding him, each held by a Foundation Establishment warrior. These Immortal Binding Chains were a common Dao technique, usable even in the Netherworld.

The great shaman in the air revealed his true form: a six-legged giant bear, its last two legs and lower body now a bloody mess. His form clearly demonstrated immense strength; despite his severe injuries, he struggled desperately and managed to pull all four Dao Foundation Warriors off the ground, seemingly about to break free of their restraints.

However, at this moment, eight Dao Foundation Warriors appeared. Six of them each threw out a chain to bind the giant bear, while the other two began to cast water blade techniques on the giant bear's injured groin.

The giant bear let out a deafening scream, unable to hold on any longer, and fell from the sky. Then, ten Dao Foundation Establishments tightened the chains, binding him firmly to the ground, while two other Dao Foundation Establishments continued to cut, occasionally slicing off bits of debris.

After being struck by over a hundred lightning bolts, the great shaman before Wei Yuan realized the situation and prostrated himself, begging for mercy. This was a great shaman with a handsome male face and a pair of wings on his back. At this moment, all the feathers on his wings had been struck away by lightning, leaving only bare wing roots and wingtips.

Wei Yuan led the two great shamans to a spot, sat them down opposite them, and then kept looking them over thoughtfully, a faint shadow looming over his head.

The two great shamans suddenly felt a chill, as if they were being watched by something, as if something more terrifying than death was about to happen. An indescribable fear almost froze them!
The three-headed bird in the moonlight peeked out briefly, then withdrew listlessly. It seems it remains the same as before, only interested in the Dharma forms of humans.

However, Wei Yuan was not discouraged. He then asked the immortal plants if anyone wanted to have a late-night snack.

Most of the immortal plants also disdained it, but the aquatic immortal plant deep in the sea expressed its longing and for the first time revealed a trace of its own aura.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Wei Yuan saw a seaweed growing deep in the ocean, with about four or five branches swaying gently on the seabed. It looked like ordinary seaweed, except that countless strange creatures of all sizes were swimming around on its branches and leaves, and many small fish the size of beans could glow, faintly illuminating this underwater area.

The seaweed seemed harmless, but Wei Yuan knew that this guy ate raw meat.

The small fish swimming around would suddenly disappear one by one. Fortunately, there were many small fish, and the seaweed was quite restrained, so it couldn't be eaten all at once.

Seeing that Wei Yuan was about to feed it, the seaweed stopped pretending to be refined.

Remembering the origin of the seaweed, Wei Yuan had an idea. He took out its aura and let the two great shamans sense it. The two great shamans trembled instantly as if they had encountered a natural enemy, their fear almost matching that of seeing the shadow in the moon.

"If you two can say something that interests me, then I will spare you and let you leave the Netherworld," Wei Yuan said.

The great shaman with wings on his back gritted his teeth and said, "Despicable humans, you can't believe a word you say!"

At that moment, a voice sounded from the side: "Humans may indeed be untrustworthy, but I will never change the promises I make."

The two great shamans turned to look and saw another Wei Yuan appear. He walked over, stood in front of them, and said, "If you don't believe me, I can swear an oath: if I'm lying, may I be struck by lightning."
