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

If the victim answers "like God" against their will in order to please it, its deprivation law will be triggered instantly.

It will drain all of the victim's luck and life force in order to help them forcibly become an immortal!

Whether you answer with a human or a god, it's a dead end!

However, this A-level Wong Tai Sin is demanding an official title.

Xu Jingming's cold and stern face showed no sign of panic; in fact, the eerie pupil between his brows flashed with disdain.

He completely defied expectations, and even delivered a jaw-dropping answer with a strong tone of sarcasm.

"I think you... resemble a beauty from Chu!"

Upon hearing this, Wong Tai Sin's cunning expression instantly froze on his face.

Its simple yet bizarre logic is clearly incapable of handling this outrageous answer.

"What exactly is Chu...Chu Renmei?"

Just as Wong Tai Sin's rules were in a brief period of logical confusion and began to distort and transform into the form of "Chu Renmei" in a blue dress with disheveled hair!

It finally realized it had been tricked, and a violent resentment rose in its heart, prompting it to forcibly trigger the killing pattern.

However, the next moment...

"Get down on your knees!"

Xu Jingming acted decisively, using the Devious Hand ability that Taotie had just devoured and mastered.

A black, eerie hand formed from pure supernatural power suddenly appeared in mid-air, pressing down on Wong Tai Sin's mutating body with a suppressive force!

"Bang!"

Even though Huang Daxian is an A-level supernatural being, under the suppression of a supernatural being of the same level, its enormous resistance was unreasonably and instantly sealed, leaving it helplessly pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"Gluttonous beast! Eat it!"

Xu Jingming gave the instructions.

"Roar!" The golden Taotie phantom rushed out, opened its exaggerated abyssal maw, and swallowed the Huang Daxian, which had been suppressed and whose shape had even been distorted to half the size of Chu Renmei, into its belly.

I witnessed this smooth and fluid combo.

Standing to the side, Li Qingyue stared wide-eyed in shock.

"Is this... this is the fighting style of this minor world?"

Li Qingyue clicked her tongue inwardly: "First, use absurd words to throw the opponent's rules into chaos, and then precisely use strange power to suppress the strange... This strange cultivation system of the Demon Masters in this world, although unorthodox, is truly heaven-defying in its practical effectiveness!"

After overcoming this obstacle, the group successfully entered the ninth and final level of the Floating Pagoda of Purgatory.

The final layer revealed a bizarre space filled with a thick mist of the underworld.

A seemingly endless gray-white path meanders through the mist.

This place, named the Road to the Underworld, is a veritable labyrinth of purgatory!

In fact, this last layer is not particularly dangerous.

As long as you remain steadfast and clear-headed on this road to the underworld, and are not misled by external illusions in the fog, you will not encounter any unexpected dangers.

But the most challenging aspect is that it's not a single path, but a sprawling, interconnected labyrinth of supernatural structures.

If the chosen one gets lost in it, they will be stuck in despair, endlessly spinning in circles, only able to leave when the instance timer ends.

Finding the one and only exit accurately in this illusionary labyrinth is quite difficult.

However, with Lu Li's double pupils guiding him, this complex illusionary maze seemed utterly childish and laughable to him.

"Turn left, go straight for 300 steps, take the right at the fork in the road, then walk forward 50 steps with your eyes closed..."

Under Lu Li's guidance, which was almost like cheating.

The group easily avoided all the dead ends and, in just over ten minutes, successfully arrived at the exit at the deepest part of the maze.

At the hidden exit altar, Lu Xueyao, with Lu Li's guidance, discovered the second ancient fragment of the Reincarnation Disc!

This fragment was precisely the core used to maintain this eerie realm of the Underworld Road.

Lu Xueyao decisively put it into her storage ring.

With the core fragment being removed.

"boom!"

This vast and eerie Yellow Springs Road instantly crumbled, turning into countless tiny specks of light that vanished into nothingness.

Ahead of them, a spatial evacuation passage emitting a soft white light was clearly visible.

"Finally, I can leave."

The group exchanged smiles, decisively stepped onto the exit passage, and their figures disappeared from the instance.

After a familiar sense of temporal disorientation, Lu Xueyao landed steadily on her feet and found herself back in the Eternal Night Wasteland, in the familiar hall of the lord's mansion.

Meanwhile, Xu Jingming safely returned to his territory.

The only unexpected thing was that Li Qingyue and several other Dao-Slaying Realm deacons, including Zhao Jinhuan, were present.

The moment they stepped out of the passage, they did not reappear in some corner of the Eternal Night Wasteland as normally as the Chosen Ones.

Instead, it seemed to be subjected to a strong repulsive force from this strange, high-dimensional world!

Amidst a spatial storm, Li Qingyue and the others suddenly felt everything go black.

The next second, they were forcibly deported!

With a few splashes, they fell into the Nine Netherworld Water Spring, the deepest part of the Primordial Holy Land dungeon in the Xuan Tian Realm!

Moreover, as they were deported...

At the bottom of the spring, the gray mist node that had always connected the two worlds seemed to have exhausted its power of rules, and then dissipated and merged.

This cross-dimensional spatial node has been completely closed, and no one can enter it again for the foreseeable future.

Since Lu Xueyao took away the core of the Yellow Springs Road Ghost Domain, the ghost domain shrouding the Floating Pagoda Purgatory Tower also dissipated.

Therefore, the other Chosen Ones who are still alive in the instance are no longer affected by spatial orientation.

If they are brave enough, they can find the entrance to the Tower of Inferno and keep climbing up to discover the escape passage hidden on the ninth floor, thus allowing them to evacuate successfully.

However, after seven days of brutal elimination, plus the killings by Xiao Fan and Yao Lao, only a handful of Chosen Ones have survived to this day.

They followed the passage and fled the instance with trepidation.

Not long after Lu Xueyao returned to the lord's manor.

"Buzz—"

A grand yet chilling national destiny announcement once again resounded throughout the entire planet Earth and in the minds of all the chosen ones.
