An emperor in his later years is summoned by his sister to save the nation's fate.

Where the blood river flows, not a blade of grass grows. The evil dragon burrows into their bodies, melting their flesh and blood and draining their life essence.

The piercing screams and angry curses echoed in the mine, but soon these sounds gradually weakened until they completely subsided.

When Lu Li raised his hand and put away the Myriad Spirits Blood River Diagram again.

The once empty mine has been turned into a shocking mass grave for hundreds of people!

The pit was filled with a thick layer of pale white bones, and their pure cultivation and essence blood had all become excellent nourishment for the Lu Li Demon Art.

At this point, the image left by the Fish-Dragon Jade Pendant flickered slightly and then completely disappeared into the void.

Meanwhile, Li Qingyue, Zhao Jinhuan, and other powerful figures from the Xuan Tian Realm standing to the side fell into a deathly silence.

They finally realized!

No wonder so many strange creatures, water monsters, and even A-level human head lantern monsters suddenly emerged from that big pit!

It turns out that it wasn't some naturally occurring evil spirit at all.

Instead, it was the group of inner disciples of the Yellow Springs Demon Sect who were personally murdered here by the Eternal Night Emperor!

Their resentment before their deaths combined with the feng shui of this extremely yin place, and over time, it mutated into something eerie!

Moreover, this perfectly explains why the lawless A-grade human head lantern ghost was so frightened by the mere presence of the Eternal Night Emperor's wooden carving that it fled in terror as if it had seen a ghost.

Because this aura belongs to the god of slaughter who extracted their blood and refined their bones, condemning them to eternal damnation!

This is an extreme, instinctive fear etched deep within their souls, one that can never be erased for all eternity!

After a brief silence, a complex discussion erupted in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream room.

"Well done! These scumbags deserve to die! Lu Li's counterattack was so exciting!"

"That's too cruel... a mass grave of a hundred people, they were all sucked dry and turned into dried corpses. Although it's satisfying, this method... is indeed a bit cruel."

"Shut up, you sanctimonious person! In this dog-eat-dog world, being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself! If he doesn't kill others, they'll kill him! Boss Lu Li was forced into this situation!"

The one who was most heartbroken was Lu Xueyao. As she watched the light screen disappear, her fingernails dug deep into her palms, and she didn't even notice when they drew blood.

"Brother... how many corpses did you step over, how many traps did you escape from the underworld to survive?"

Lu Xueyao silently shed tears in her heart. She was just happy to have completed the dungeon mission, but compared to the scheming and life-or-death crisis her brother had suffered back then, her current hardship was nothing!

After a short rest, the group discussed the matter. Because this secret realm was fraught with danger, and Li Qingyue had vaguely guessed that Lu Xueyao in front of her was very likely a blood relative of the Great Emperor.

Therefore, she valued Lu Xueyao highly and took the initiative to suggest that they team up together to take care of each other.

With the help of several powerful cultivators at the Dao Severing Realm, they quickly plundered the surrounding Blood Fiend Stone veins, exceeding their target by not just fifty pieces.

When the time for collecting ore stipulated by the instance arrived, the group of them walked out of the mine through the dimly lit passage and arrived at the overseer's office square on the ground.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed in the square.

The many emaciated miners were actually chosen ones from various countries who had been forcibly pulled into the dungeon. They were nervously handing over the fruits of their labor for the day, and at the very front of the line was none other than the chosen one from the Sakura Kingdom, Yagyu Soichiro.

He was covered in wounds and looked disheveled. He had suffered a severe injury in the territory last night and had been struggling in the mine with his broken body today. In the end, he only managed to collect forty Blood Fiend Stones, failing to reach the mission's minimum requirement of fifty.

"Useless! You can't even dig up enough stones, what use are you!"

Standing on the high platform was a foreman wielding a long, barbed whip!

It let out a roar that was not human, giving Yagyu Soichiro no chance to explain, and the long whip in its hand lashed out fiercely at his face with a shrill sound that tore through the air!

If that whip lands squarely, the head will definitely explode like a watermelon!

"Baka! Do you really think I'm made of clay?"

Yagyu Soichiro's expression twisted, and his face became ferocious.

He had been driven to the brink of madness by the successive blows of this bizarre game.

"Come forth, Orochi!"

He actually revealed his trump card in broad daylight!

"boom!"

A phantom of the Yamata no Orochi, which had lost half of its head and tail but still exuded a golden aura, suddenly rose up behind him!

Although the Yamata no Orochi's essence was severely damaged, it was once a being close to B-rank.

Faced with this supervisory monster, which is at best only a C-grade monster.

With a sudden jerk, the remaining heads of the Yamata no Orochi snapped and actually bit the barbed whip to pieces.

Then, one of the heads opened its gaping maw and, to the horror of all the Chosen Ones, swallowed the Overseer whole!

"Hahaha! Did you see that?!"

After devouring the overseer monster, Yagyu Soichiro's ego swelled to an unbridled degree.

He arrogantly surveyed the terrified Chosen Ones around him, shouting, "These so-called mining rules are nothing but garbage used to restrict the weak! True powerhouses don't need to abide by these rules! As long as I kill the rule-makers, I will be the new king of this mining area!"

In the live stream room of Japan, when viewers saw this scene, the long-silent barrage of comments instantly reached a climax.

"Lord Yagyu is mighty!"

"That's it! Breaking the rules! What kind of bullshit Underworld Purgatory dungeon is that? It's all a paper tiger in front of the Golden Mystic Pets of our Great Sakura Empire!"

However, Yagyu Soichiro's maniacal laughter did not last more than three seconds.

He could no longer laugh, because at that moment, everyone looked up in horror.

The originally gloomy and oppressive sky above the mining area suddenly turned into a thick, blood-red color!

Upon closer inspection, it was not a change in sky color at all.

Instead, a blood-red eye, thousands of feet in size and almost covering the entire dome, was slowly opening!

There was no emotion in those blood-red eyes, only extreme coldness and supreme majesty!

As the blood-red eyes fully opened, a crimson gaze, almost tangible, fell directly upon the arrogant Yamata no Orochi, like a divine punishment.

"hiss--!"

The golden-quality monster, Yamata no Orochi, didn't even have time to scream before its massive phantom was obliterated into nothingness the moment it came into contact with the red light, just like a bubble in the sunlight!

Immediately afterwards, the red light shifted slightly and landed on Yagyu Soichiro, whose face was filled with despair.
