The most secure job in Dajin

The Five Directions Formation has truly been broken. Even if it was just a hole torn open, it was enough to make the beings of the Nine Netherworlds and the cultivators of the mortal world tremble.

Despite the shock both inside and outside the formation, Hua Changxi's expression remained tense.

The Five Directions Formation is, after all, a top-tier trapping formation of the seventh rank. The five elements flow and regenerate endlessly, which is in line with the principle of the cycle of heaven.

Although the fire-attribute flagpole broke and the great formation lost its fire element support, the earth, metal, water, and wood elements surged wildly through the broken opening in the formation curtain, interacting and trying to repair the cracks and make the entire great formation stable again.

Although Hua Changxi had reached the eighth level of body refinement and possessed a powerful physical body, and with the help of Cangming's power, she could only tear open a gap in the great formation.

This was the limit of her abilities.

Currently, the great formation is rapidly repairing the cave entrance under the influence of the five elements' cyclical and mutually reinforcing power. She needs to send the human cultivators out of the great formation before the cave entrance is repaired and closed.

To prevent Cangming from causing trouble in the dark, Hua Changxi's thousand-foot-tall body still tightly gripped the remains of the dark green dragon with one hand, while the other hand suddenly reached out, and fire spiritual power surged into the fire lotus like a tide.

As if summoned, the crimson fire lotus, resembling a lotus boat, carried the human cultivators into the air.

"Hey~"

The fire lotus shot off like an arrow, hurtling straight toward the gap in the great formation.

However, just as the lotus boat was about to pass through the gap...
"boom!"

Outside the formation, all the powerful figures from the Nine Netherworlds attacked simultaneously.

The overwhelming demonic energy pressed down on the city like dark clouds, a ghostly hand reached out from the void, a soul whip tore through the sky, the waters of the Yellow Springs poured in, the sea of ​​red spider lilies turned into a blood-red vortex, and countless attacks poured down like a torrential rain, all crashing towards that fire lotus!
Hua Changxi was inside the great formation, and her control over the Fire Lotus was already sluggish. Moreover, the use of the Fire Lotus was limited by the supply of spiritual energy, and she was only at the Nascent Soul stage. At present, she could only keep the Fire Lotus from collapsing, and she was powerless to defend against it.

Fortunately, just as the attacks from the Nine Netherworld experts were about to land, the mortal experts made their move!

The blade gleamed like the moon, the sword energy was like a rainbow, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the Daoist rhyme flowed. Countless defensive forces blocked the fire lotus.

The forces of offense and defense clashed fiercely above the Five Directions Formation, and the aftershocks of the explosion caused space to continuously crack.

Under the impact of the two forces, the Fire Lotus swayed and flew towards the Dui Gate.

As long as they cross the tributary of the River Styx, the Fire Lotus will land safely, and the human cultivators will be safe.

However, just as the fire lotus swept across the sky above a tributary of the River Styx...
"Splash!"

The once-silent tributary of the Styx suddenly swelled, its waters surging into the sky like an enraged ancient beast, transforming into a dark green waterfall that stretched across the heavens and earth, forcefully cutting off the path of the Fire Lotus.

Even more chilling is that deep within the waterfall, a huge, dark green claw swiftly extends out.

The claws, wreathed in an aura of decay and annihilation, carried a terrifying power capable of crushing everything, as they viciously clawed at the tottering fire lotus!
Before the claws even arrived, the fire lotus was already showing signs of collapse. If it were to be firmly grasped by this claw, the human cultivator inside the fire lotus would surely die.

Just as the bone hand was about to touch the fire lotus.
"call out!"

Hua Changxi grabbed the dark green dragon and rushed out of the Five Directions Formation, while simultaneously hurling the dragon towards the sharp claws!

"boom!"

The sharp claws pierced the body of the dark green dragon, and the already illusory dragon body completely collapsed under this attack, turning into a sky full of ghostly light.

As the light and shadow faded, Cangming's true form was revealed.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, and his breath was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Even more shocking was the sight of five horrifying holes piercing through his body, the wounds shrouded in deathly aura that greedily devoured his last remaining life force.

"Ah~"

A deafening roar erupted from the depths of the River Styx, followed by another surge in the river's waters. A larger, longer, and more powerful dark green dragon soared from the river and hurtled straight toward Hua Changxi!

Seeing the approaching dragon, Hua Changxi's eyes narrowed. With one hand, she met the dragon's attack, and with the other, she slammed the fire lotus towards the Dui Gate. As the fire lotus crashed heavily against the city wall, the giant hand and the dragon collided, causing the tributary of the Styx River to surge with towering waves that crashed violently against the banks.

"boom!"

With the help of the Styx River, the dark green dragon's attack became even more ferocious this time. After colliding with the giant hand, it actually used its dragon body to tightly entangle the giant hand.

Hua Changxi did not want to form a deadly feud with the Styx Clan, and she never even considered completely killing Cangming.

But the Lord of the Styx's relentless pursuit completely ignited the bloodlust that had been building up in his heart since venturing into the fifth level of the Nine Netherworld!
Seeing the long dragon wrapped around the giant hand, Hua Changxi seized the opportunity to grab its neck, slowly tightening her grip with her five fingers, and then suddenly clenching it.
"Click~"

A deafening explosion rang out as Hua Changxi unleashed the full power of her eighth level of Body Refinement, crushing the thousand-foot-long dragon with her bare hands!
Dark green fragments scattered like meteors, turning into a sky full of water vapor and disappearing without a trace.

The entire room fell silent.

Whether human cultivators or beings from the Nine Netherworlds, the shock was immense, and no one could believe what they were seeing.

The clone of a peak King Realm expert was just crushed like that?!
"Splash!"

The Styx River tributary surrounding Duimen Pass surges with waves and splashes.

Deep within the Nine Netherworlds, at the source of the Styx River, a colossal, dark green shadow, capable of shaking the heavens and earth, slowly emerged, its gaze piercing through layers of void, pointing directly towards the Demon Prison.

At the auction, both the beings of the Netherworld and the cultivators of the mortal realm were awestruck by this terrifying figure. Even from a distance, they could feel a suffocating sense of oppression.

The towering, dark green figure and the crimson figure gazed at each other from afar. After a moment of deathly silence, the dark green figure slowly dissipated, and the crimson figure shrank to the size of a normal human and stood on the Bridge of the Underworld.

When the crimson figure turned to look in the direction of the Gates of Hell, the Nightmare Eater's eyes darted around, and with a flash, it was the first to disappear from the sight of the Nine Netherworld's powerful figures.

The powerful members of the Ghost Clan, Demon Clan, Soul Clan, and Blood Sea Clan, though unwilling, still coveted the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm. This showed that even with the loss of two avatars, the Lord of the Underworld was powerless against the Lord of the Lingguang Palace and could only choose to leave quietly.

Once the powerful figures left, the other beings of the Nine Netherworlds scattered like birds and beasts.

Only three figures remained above the gates of hell—one in black, one in white, and one hunched over.

Black Impermanence looked at the fiery red figure on the Bridge of the Underworld: "Did the Lord of Lingguang Palace really summon the Netherworld Deer just because he played the Soul Ballad?"

"Ok?"

White Impermanence and Meng Po both looked at Black Impermanence, their expressions different.

Black Impermanence sighed, "In the art of slaughter, the Lord of Lingguang Palace is no less powerful than the strongest in the Nine Netherworlds."

After saying that, he turned and left first.

Bai Wuchang and Meng Po exchanged a glance and then left the Gates of Hell.

After the Nine Netherworld Clan left, only the human cultivators remained at the scene.

Hua Changxi stood on the Bridge of the Underworld, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd on the city wall of Duimen Pass, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

The scent of the Buddhist prayer beads has vanished.

This was not a good time to look for Buddhist prayer beads. Hua Changxi withdrew her gaze, took out the Ghost Market Token, and walked into the dark depths in the opposite direction of Dui Gate.

The crimson figure gradually disappeared into the hazy mist, and in a short while, it completely melted into the depths of darkness and vanished from everyone's sight.

As her figure completely disappeared, the taut string above the door seemed to snap abruptly.

"Boom!"

The deathly silence was shattered, and a cacophony of voices swept through the surroundings. Exclamations, whispers, and the cries of survivors mingled together instantly. (End of Chapter)
