Upper Bound.

Deep in the underworld.

Just as the Chaos Corpse was being suppressed and killed by Zhu Chen.

In the center of an altar made of countless huge white bones, a pitch-black ancient coffin suddenly exploded open!
"--roar!!!"

"My projection... was destroyed?"

The Chaos Corpse itself let out a low roar from within the ancient coffin.

With the projection destroyed, he was naturally implicated as well.

More importantly, he felt an immense sense of humiliation at being provoked by ants!

He closed his eyes and began to try his best to recall the fragments of memory before the projection disappeared.

Soon, a blurry image appeared in his mind.

It was a young man in white. He threw a punch, and golden light and blood energy transformed into a phantom of a true dragon... Then, black and white energy circulated, evolving into a yin-yang millstone...

"This supremely yang and powerful, domineering dragon might... is undoubtedly a true dragon technique, and its ability to evolve yin and yang and obliterate all things... is extremely similar to the legendary Kunpeng's yin and yang energies. Could it be..."

The Chaos Corpse suddenly opened its eyes, and an unbelievable look of greed immediately appeared on its pale, wax-white face.

Although he has been sleeping in the underworld for a long time, he is not completely unaware of the outside world.

He had also heard about the several major events that had recently caused a great stir in the upper realm.

He has connections to the lower realms and simultaneously possesses two of the Ten Ferocious Treasures: the True Dragon and the Kunpeng...

Currently, only one person meets the criteria.

"Sinful bloodline from the lower realm... single-handedly infiltrated the Celestial Race... forced the protector to his death... possesses multiple Ten Ferocious Treasure Techniques... Zhu Chen!"

As the keywords were strung together, the Chaos Corpse itself locked onto its target almost instantly!

"It's Zhu Chen! He actually returned to the lower realm? No wonder my projection was defeated!"

Having grasped this point, the anger and shame in the heart of the Chaos Corpse were instantly replaced by an even more fervent greed!

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, even one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques is enough to drive an immortal lineage mad, let alone two.

If we could get it...

"No, this matter is of utmost importance, and I cannot take it all by myself!"

The Chaos Corpse itself pondered.

He was greedy, but not stupid.

Zhu Chen was able to single-handedly wipe out the Celestial Race, so his strength should not be underestimated.

Moreover, once the news of the Ten Fierce Treasures is leaked, it will inevitably trigger a struggle throughout the Upper Realm!

"It seems that we must mobilize the entire clan and give it our all in this matter..."

The Chaos Corpse suddenly stood up, stepped out of the ancient coffin, and the death energy and chaos energy around him soared into the sky, transforming into a gray-black pillar of light that shot straight into the ancient hall at the deepest part of the Netherworld!
at the same time.

A divine thought containing all his deductions surged like a tide toward the ancient beings sleeping in the underworld!
"A world-shaking opportunity has appeared in the mortal realm. Zhu Chen, a sinful bloodline from the mortal realm who is suspected of possessing at least two of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques, has returned. His location has been pinpointed. We earnestly request the Lord of the Underworld and all the patriarchs to decide and quickly send his true form down to the mortal realm to seize this opportunity and strengthen our Underworld!"

The moment this divine thought was sent out, it caused a huge uproar among the higher-ups in the Underworld!

"Ten Ferocious Techniques? Or more than two? Is the information confirmed?"

"Zhu Chen? That's the kid who caused the Immortal Palace to suffer a loss? He actually possesses such good fortune?"

"The lower realm... right now is the time when the rules are most chaotic and the suppression is relatively weak, making it the best time for the true body to descend to the lower realm!"

"Hehehe~, this is a golden opportunity! We must strike first to prevent other sects from learning of this news!"

Powerful divine thoughts intertwined deep within the Netherworld and quickly reached a consensus!

Before long, the old creatures deep within the Netherworld awoke from their slumber, even alarming the current ruler of the Netherworld.

As one by one, the ancient coffins, sealed in dust, were moved open.

One after another, figures exuding overwhelming deathly aura and terrifying pressure emerged from the land of slumber!

Each of them was once a formidable figure renowned throughout the region.

Now, for the sake of the Ten Fierce Treasures Technique, they have decided to join forces and forcibly descend to the mortal realm in their true forms!
"Target: the capital of the Fire Kingdom in the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm. Capture and kill Zhu Chen, and seize the precious technique!"

The actions taken by the Underworld were swift and decisive, and the secrecy measures were also quite strict.

However, this is a sensitive time when the various Daoist lineages in the upper realm are closely monitoring the movements of the "Great Calamity" and "Divine Treasury" in the lower realm. Any large-scale unusual activity by any party will be difficult to completely conceal from the eyes of other forces.

Moreover, the underworld is not a monolithic entity.

Just as several cult-level warriors from the Underworld were gathering, preparing to secretly construct a stable passage and forcibly descend to the mortal realm in their true forms.

In a gloomy mountain range not far from the underworld.

Inside a secret stronghold belonging to the "Demon Dragon Sect".

A bone mirror, shimmering with a ghostly light, suddenly lit up.

"The old zombies in the Netherworld are making unusual movements. Judging from their actions, at least three or more sect leader-level beings have been dispatched. They seem to be stabilizing the passage to the lower realm... and are about to descend to the lower realm in their true forms..."

A scout from the Demon Dragon Sect, who was lurking on the outskirts of the Underworld, changed his expression drastically and immediately used a secret method to transmit the news back to his sect.

Almost at the same time.

The "Demon Sunflower Garden," which has a long-standing grudge against the Underworld and is also skilled at manipulating Yin spirits and corpse puppets, as well as some major religions that have set up extensive intelligence networks in other states, such as the Heavenly Kingdom, Sword Valley, and Beast Sea, have all noticed the unusual large-scale mobilization of the Underworld.

"The Netherworld's mobilization of such a large force, sparing no expense to descend to the mortal realm in their true form, is certainly not for ordinary divine treasures or the blood offerings of venerable beings!"

"Could it be that they discovered some earth-shattering wonder that we are unaware of?"

"Investigate! Immediately use all means to investigate the target in the Underworld!"

The major religions reacted swiftly, employing a variety of divination and predictive methods.

Although they could not immediately learn that the entire plan and target of the Underworld was Zhu Chen.

However, the news that "several sect leaders from the Underworld have descended to the mortal realm in their true forms, with their target suspected to be somewhere in the mortal realm" spread like wildfire among the most elite circles in the Three Thousand Dao States!
Then, another, even more explosive piece of news was leaked from an unknown source, immediately alarming the forces that were closely monitoring the Underworld.

"Zhu Chen, the sinful bloodline from the lower realm who possessed many of the Ten Fierce Techniques and once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly City, did not hide or flee to another place in the upper realm, but has quietly returned to the eight regions of the lower realm from which he was born..."

Combining these two pieces of information, the answer is almost obvious!

The target of this strange movement in the Underworld is Zhu Chen!

Their purpose is obvious: to obtain the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques from Zhu Chen!
"Damn it, those guys hiding in the coffins managed to sniff it out first!"

"The Ten Evil Techniques... must never fall into the hands of the Underworld!"

In an instant, the situation changed drastically!

Many ancient sects and supreme clans that were originally observing or only sending projection clones down to search for clues to the divine treasure could no longer sit still!
"Issue the order! Immediately activate your hidden power and construct a passage to the lower realm!"

"Quickly awaken the Supreme Elder who is in seclusion! We must descend to the mortal realm in our true forms ahead of schedule!"

"Target: the eight realms below. We must find Zhu Chen before the Underworld and seize the precious techniques from him!"

Urgent orders resounded from all over the three thousand prefectures.

Within just half a day, at least more than two sects made similar decisions!

Even more extreme, some have turned their attention to the Celestial Race and the Peacock Race, who have close ties with Zhu Chen.
