Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

After returning to the realm of mountains and seas.

Hu Qi did not conceal his aura.

His current level of attainment needs no concealment.

With his True Spirit level strength, coupled with the power and unpredictability of the True Spirit Technique, the Vortex of Origin.

Coupled with its inability to be killed, it has nothing to fear from any existence.

This also caused several True Spirit level wills to suddenly appear the moment he appeared.

The Celestial Venerable of Evolution has already perished, and apart from him, the remaining True Spirit level beings all focused their attention on this place.

This naturally includes the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld.

The spiritual realm is the space where spiritual entities exist.

The twelfth level is the core of the entire cycle of reincarnation in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

This place is where countless rays of soul light reincarnate.

At this moment, in the center of the soul light sea, which resembled a nebula vortex, there was only one figure in a desolate area.

All around was nothingness.

This person is none other than the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld, who is currently sitting cross-legged.

She was bound by crisscrossing chains of laws, which, like a net, completely imprisoned her here.

But this blockade can only trap her physical body.

As a True Spirit-level Celestial Venerable who governs reincarnation, the division of consciousness is merely a thought away, and it is not difficult for him to manifest and go out.

Therefore, she didn't care about being imprisoned.

The only thing that unsettled her was the failure of the 'miracle child's' possession attempt, which disrupted all her subsequent plans.

In recent days, she has been devising strategies to break the deadlock.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been a very good solution.

Because the 'Qizi' is the only one who can access the Qihuan.

It is also her hope for further progress.

But now, she has sealed him away and thrown him into the Void Sea.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Although the other party is also at the True Spirit level.

However, she is a 'prodigy,' and once she successfully advances, she might not necessarily be a match for her opponent.

Rather than doing that, it's better to just solve it directly.

As one of the only five True Spirit-level beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Netherworld Celestial Venerable personally experienced that cataclysmic change in the world and witnessed the Void Sea surging forth from the depths of the Ruins.

The Void Sea itself is a concrete manifestation of death, decay, despair, and all the dark aspects of life.

She even fought against several Void Lords in the Void Sea.

Therefore, the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld knew the terror of the Void Sea better than anyone else.

That is an existence powerful enough to rival the Heavenly Dao of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Even a True Spirit who has reached the pinnacle of cultivation would have no chance of escape once they fall into it.

As a 'rare talent,' even with his cunning methods, the other party could never escape from the Void Sea.

The best outcome is nothing more than an endless cycle between death and resurrection.

Or, it could be completely eroded by the power of the Void Sea.

"Perhaps, it's not impossible that a new prodigy will be born..."

The Celestial Venerable of the Underworld pondered in his heart.

The opponent came from the 'Strange Ring', but after being suppressed by the Void Sea, the Strange Ring is very likely to reclaim a wisp of power and transform it into a 'Strange Child'.

As a True Spirit level being, she had ample time to wait.

suddenly.

Right at this moment.

A familiar yet chilling aura suddenly descended upon the Mountain and Sea Realm!

The Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

His gaze was like two cold blades, instantly piercing through twelve layers of the mind and crashing into reality.

At the end of the line of sight, a figure dressed in white stood quietly.

The moment their eyes met, the mental realm seemed to be struck by an invisible hammer, exploding into distorted ripples!
The spirits and beings in the spiritual realm whose gazes met instantly vanished without a trace.

"Um?!"

Her pupils suddenly contracted.

For the first time, an incredulous look of astonishment flashed across his eyes.

The opponent actually broke free from the Void Sea's restraints?

how can that be!

However, before she could sort out her thoughts, Hu Qi grinned, his white teeth gleaming with a bloodthirsty glint.

"You bitch, die!"

A roar, like a thunderclap from the heavens, exploded deep within her soul, shaking her spirit.

Above the void sea, Hu Qi didn't waste any words and directly raised his hand to throw out a black banner.

That black banner was the Black Spirit Banner, which transformed into a beam of dark light that annihilated everything and plunged straight into the realm of the mind.

Wherever it passed, whether wandering spirits or living beings in the realm, they were all silently annihilated, without even having time to utter a wail.

In the blink of an eye, the dark light had broken through twelve layers of the spirit realm and fiercely attacked the Netherworld Celestial Venerable!
The Celestial Venerable of the Underworld had a cold look in his eyes and showed no panic.

Although the chains of laws binding her prevented her from leaving the Land of Reincarnation, they were also her strongest barrier.

As she expected, the dark light was immediately blocked by the chains of law after it entered.

However, in the next instant, something unexpected happened!

The dark light suddenly began to spin, and a strange power that distorted reality and tore apart the rules erupted, causing the chains of law binding it to crumble inch by inch like rotten wood!
The dark light continued its relentless advance, piercing straight into the heart of the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld.

See this scene.

At the same time, a deadly sense of crisis suddenly descended, giving her a long-lost taste of horror.

This fear, like being choked by a natural enemy, had long been forgotten in the river of time since she ascended to the True Spirit level, and had not reappeared for an unknown period of time.

At the critical moment of life and death, the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld reacted with lightning speed.

Her hands instantly formed a hand seal, and her body burst with light. Layers of light containing endless laws appeared, stacking up countless times in an instant, protecting her in the center.

As the first ancestral witch of the witch clan, her physical body was inherently impervious to all magic. In addition, the power she wielded was special, making her defensive capabilities unparalleled among the five true spirits.

But just as she completed the hand seal and her mind settled down,

The countless light wheels she laid out contained endless spatial mysteries and should have been impervious to all magic, yet they were pierced through as easily as thin paper!

Her proud Ancestral Witch True Form was as fragile as glass, easily pierced by that dark light.

It was fixed in the void on one side.

However, that's only the second part; the more terrifying aspect is...

The Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld sensed an unprecedented, intense pain, mixed with the throbbing sensation of his true spirit being torn apart, which swept through his entire body.

"My spiritual imprint is being erased! What have you done to me?!"

The Underworld Celestial Venerable wanted to pull out the black spirit banner that was stuck in his chest.

But she discovered that this thing seemed to be rooted and grown into her body, and there was absolutely nothing she could do about it.

This black spirit banner was a genuine artifact she had personally crafted, yet now it was pierced and immobilized by this artifact, which, in a way, was also a form of karmic retribution.

After discovering this.

The Celestial Venerable of the Underworld reacted immediately.

In an instant, her body silently disintegrated, scattering into the void like dust.

The next moment, the Wheel of Reincarnation appeared on the other side, spinning wildly, and her figure re-condensed from the depths of reincarnation, spotless, as if she had just been born.

Upon closer inspection, one can detect that the aura flowing around her is slightly disordered, like a flickering candle in the wind, its light uncertain.

This is a secret technique of the True Spirit that she comprehended after advancing to the True Spirit level: the Six Paths of Fleeting Life Technique.

It uses reincarnation as a guide to forcibly reverse life and death, break free from all karmic constraints, and remain untouched by any laws or calamities. In short, the time spent on reincarnation is compressed into an instant.

This allows for a perfect resurrection, avoiding all harm, which involves the laws of time.

It can be described as an extremely powerful ability.

However, it also has certain drawbacks, and cannot be as unsolvable as Huqi's Eternal Ring.

The drawback is that it cannot allow for unlimited respawns.

She can only use it six times in a short period of time.

If this limit is exceeded, she will also be injured.

Therefore.

After recovery.

The figure of the Underworld Celestial Venerable vanished instantly, leaving this place in the blink of an eye.

Given Hu Qi's current strength, as long as she's not out of her mind, she won't confront him head-on.

Fortunately, the chains of law that had been binding her had developed a crack due to this attack, and could no longer seal her off.

However, Hu Qi would not allow him to get away so easily.
He raised his arm, and the black banner returned to his hand.

With a swift movement, he stood atop the vast sky of the Mountain and Sea Realm, his left hand pointing directly at his brow.

In an instant, the Eye of Delusion on his forehead opened, and dark golden divine light flowed, penetrating the void as if it were a tangible substance, illuminating the entire Mountain and Sea Realm.

The divine light swept across, and in an instant, it locked onto a certain spot in the core area.

Almost simultaneously, a blinding golden light descended from the sky.

boom! ! !
The moment the Celestial Venerable of the Underworld appeared, the territory he occupied vanished into nothingness.

All living beings within, regardless of their strength, were annihilated, their souls scattered and their spirits dispersed.

The Netherworld Celestial Venerable, now only half-dead, staggered out of the void, his face as pale as paper.

She looked up and gazed into the distance.

There stands a seven-colored sacred mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Jinling, Fellow Daoist Haori, please lend a helping hand! This kindness will surely be repaid in the Netherworld!"

This is no ordinary place; it is the core territory of the demon race—the Ten Thousand Saints Demon Mountain!
This is the supreme holy land of the demon race, with countless mountains stretching into the sky, and demonic energy soaring into the heavens, turning into billowing smoke that pierces through the universe. The deeper one goes, the stronger the demonic power becomes, with laws like a net, as powerful as a prison.

But at this moment, one of the mountain ranges was completely wiped out, leaving only a bottomless crater. All the demons in the crater, regardless of their cultivation level, were annihilated by that attack.

The place that the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld was looking at was the supreme divine mountain of the demon race.

Mount Mandami.

Surrounded by seven-colored seawater, the mountain is cast from four treasures: gold, silver, lapis lazuli, and crystal, shining brightly and exuding a unique aura of solemn holiness amidst the enchanting atmosphere.

"Netherworld, remember your words."

A clear, cold female voice came from the cave on the mountaintop.

Immediately, a graceful figure stepped out, raised her eyes to look at Hu Qi in the sky, and spoke in a voice as cold as a spring:
"You have violated my demon race's territory without cause. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?!"

As she finished speaking, the phoenix phantom behind her raised its head and cried out, its voice like the clash of gold and jade, resounding through the heavens!

Om-!
At the same moment, the ten suns in the sky shone brightly, and a magnificent and incomparably heroic figure, clad in golden armor, carrying a longbow, and holding a spear, stepped out from the blazing light.

Behind him, the phantom of a golden crow spread its wings, and the aura of burning the heavens and boiling the seas swept across the eight wastelands.

The Phoenix and the Golden Crow are both divine beasts that wield fire, and their combined strength is considerable.

At this moment, the entire world seemed to transform into a furnace!
The remains of the Netherworld Celestial Venerable were quickly restored, and the three True Spirit-level Celestial Venerables, Netherworld, Golden Spirit, and Haori, stood side by side.

The aura belonging to the True Spirit level was released without reservation, its oppressive power almost enveloping the entire core area.

All the spirits trembled and lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.

"Explain?"

Hu Qi looked down at the three of them, a slow grin spreading across his face, as if he had heard some incredible joke, before suddenly bursting into laughter:

"Haha...hahaha!"

Hu Qi's voice boomed like thunder from the heavens, the rolling sound waves solidifying into a tangible substance before scattering in all directions!
The earth below trembled violently, as if unable to withstand the overwhelming force, and thousands of rocks collapsed together.

Countless demons with low cultivation levels were unable to even utter a wail before their souls were shattered and they died on the spot.

Only terrifying demons who have reached the level of Dao Lord can barely protect their heart meridians and eke out a living amidst this destructive roar.

What are you laughing at?

Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable frowned slightly, his expression turning cold.

"You've been invincible for too long, forgetting that there are always stronger forces out there..."

Hu Qi's laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes transforming into eerie, scarlet snake pupils, a fierce light surging within them.

"Or are you so foolish as to think I'd care who you are?"

"Those who obstruct me, I will slaughter you demons along with me!! Die!!"

He spread his arms, and two rings, one black and one white, reappeared behind him.

In an instant, the expressions of the three celestial beings changed drastically.

Although Hu Qi was strong before, he was still within the ranks of those who could be defeated.

But as soon as these two black and white rings appeared, an extremely dense aura of death rushed over, as if plunging into eternal night!
Especially for Golden Spirit Celestial Venerable, a warning sign was screaming in his heart.

However, it was too late.

The two rings, one black and one white, suddenly expanded, covering the sky and the sun, like a gaping maw that swallowed the world, descending upon the entire Demon Clan Holy Land and the three True Spirit-level Heavenly Venerables!

In an instant, the world lost its color, and all things fell silent!
"Let's do it together!"

Hao Ri Tian Zun roared first, his body transforming into a blazing true sun, its scorching divine light almost setting the void ablaze.

He took the longbow from behind him with a backhand. There were no arrows on it, but as he pulled the bowstring hard, endless divine fire gathered from the void and condensed into a golden crow divine arrow.

Above the arrowhead, a golden crow phantom raises its head and cries out, its power to scorch the heavens and boil the seas surges forth!
With a flick of his jade hand, Jinling Tianzun revealed a feather fan shimmering with seven-colored light, which he then swung fiercely at Hu Qi.

With a single flap of the fan, seven world-destroying calamities instantly appeared.

They are Heavenly Flame, Earthly Erosion Wind, Yin-Yang Flow, Geng Metal Robbery, Bing Fire Robbery, Gui Water Robbery, Wu Earth Robbery, and Green Wood Robbery!

Seven tribulations swept across the sky, each powerful enough to instantly kill a Dao Lord. Now, they merged into one, transforming into a chaotic tribulation dragon that roared and tore through the heavens!

With a resolute expression, the Heavenly Venerable of the Underworld plunged his right hand straight into his heart, pulling out a palm-sized Reincarnation Disc stained with dark gold divine blood.

She pointed, and the illusory image of reincarnation behind her spun wildly, drawing upon the power of all beings in the myriad realms.

The Dark Gold Reincarnation Disc suddenly expanded, transforming into a phantom of the Annihilation Disc that could crush all laws, and crashed down on Hu Qi!

The three celestial beings joined forces, their supernatural powers covering the sky and the sun, their might enough to reshape the earth, water, fire, and wind.

however.

It was all in vain!
The three world-destroying attacks were distorted by an invisible twisting force as soon as they approached Hu Qi. The golden crow arrows, the seven world-destroying sky beams, and the dark golden reincarnation disc phantom all shattered and collapsed.

Then, like a mud ox sinking into the sea, they disappeared completely into the two black and white rings behind him, without causing the slightest ripple.

For an instant.

The three of them let out a muffled groan.

Several terrifying cracks appeared on the dark golden wheel of reincarnation in front of Mingtu. The seven-colored feather fan in the hand of Jinling Tianzun exploded, and the bowstring in the hand of Haori Tianzun broke.

At the same time, the aura of all three weakened.

They were immediately met with a backlash.

Looking up at the ring that descended like a dark curtain in the sky, a sense of despair and fear arose.

In just one exchange, three genuine artifacts were destroyed, and he was also seriously injured.

The gap is too big; there's absolutely no hope in sight.

Jin Ling and Hao Ri, in particular, felt a pang of regret, wishing they hadn't gotten involved.

Hu Qi's crimson eyes remained unmoved as he raised his hand and slammed it down.

A black ring descended, dragging countless demons into it, seemingly about to engulf the three of them in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist! Please show mercy!"

However, at this moment.

A calm voice rang out, and at the same time, a beam of clear light suddenly arrived, catching the falling black ring. (End of Chapter)
