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

Yama, the Heavenly Venerable of Hell, invoked his powerful backer: "If the Underworld Emperor deep within the Netherworld were to hold you accountable, even if you were the current Emperor, you might not be able to gain the slightest advantage against him in this Netherworld!"

Upon hearing this ridiculous threat, a hint of indifference flashed in Lu Li's eyes.

"How dare an ant hiding in the shadows threaten this Emperor?"

Lu Li didn't even bother to respond. In front of Yama, the Heavenly Venerable of Hell, he activated the Human Emperor Banner.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Under the refinement of the demonic energy of the Human Emperor Banner, Lu Tianzun's soul let out a weak scream before his consciousness was completely erased, becoming a quasi-emperor-level ferocious soul added to the Human Emperor Banner.

This provocative action made Yama, the Heavenly Lord of Hell, stare wide-eyed in disbelief.

"How...how dare you?" Yama, the Heavenly Venerable of Hell, roared inwardly. "Isn't this Eternal Night always rumored to be the weakest Great Emperor? Where does he get the audacity to so forcefully confront the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone in the Underworld?"

Despite his anger, Yama was not stupid. He crushed a jade talisman and secretly sent a distress message to the Underworld Emperor deep in the Netherworld.

What he needed to do now was to stall for time. However, Lu Li's double pupils, which could easily see through the essence of everything, had already clearly caught his ridiculous little trick.

Lu Li paid no attention to the so-called Underworld Emperor. His gaze swept over the remaining six people and finally settled on an old man shrouded in black mist.

"Soul Celestial Venerable".

Lu Li's icy voice rang out like the death knell: "Ten thousand years ago, when I was just a Great Saint, you chased after me across most of the Central Continent."

"Today, it's time to settle this old score!"

Soul Celestial Venerable, who was singled out by Lu Li, instantly felt as if the blood in his body had frozen.

He was horrified to discover that the space around him had been locked by the Emperor's killing intent, and there was nowhere to escape!

"Master, save me!" Soul Celestial Venerable desperately begged Yama Celestial Venerable for help.

"Charge!"

Seeing that Lu Li was completely unpredictable, Yama Heavenly Venerable roared.

"Boom—!"

The entire Seven Kills Sect headquarters trembled!

It turns out that, in addition to the Sumeru Illusionary World Array on the outside, there is also an unparalleled killing array, the Origin Heaven Yin Yang Array, set up at the very core of this cave!

This grand formation uses the entire underground dragon vein of the cave as its core.

At this moment, once it was activated, coupled with the desperate efforts of the six quasi-emperors to preside over it simultaneously, it became even more intense.

They even went so far as to burn their own primordial magic power and essence blood to infuse it!

In an instant, the strangulation power unleashed by this great formation even barely touched the threshold of an Emperor Formation!

Even an emperor would be temporarily trapped in it!

Lu Li looked at the Yin-Yang array diagram that blocked all escape routes.

A fleeting hint of disappointment crossed his eyes.

"this one?"

A few days ago, this formation might have been able to hold him off for a while.

But now, he is a terrifying being who possesses the Great Perfection Ancient Sacred Body, double pupils, and has completely mastered the Great Dao of Space.

Trying to trap him with such a formation is simply wishful thinking!

Lu Li didn't even use his imperial weapon. With a single sweep of his double pupils across the formation, he saw through the flaw of the formation's imbalance of yin and yang.

The next moment, Lu Li raised his foot and used the Qilin Step!

"Bang!"

The first step landed steadily! A spatial suppressive force struck the core of the formation.

The Yuantian Yin-Yang Array was as fragile as glass, immediately cracked and then shattered!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li took a second step in one smooth motion!

"Buzz—!"

As this step fell irresistibly, the entire void surged as if it had encountered a violent tide.

The power of spatial overlap swept out irrationally, directly suppressing the six quasi-emperors who were suffering from the backlash of the formation in mid-air, rendering them unable to move!

"No!" Yama, the Heavenly Venerable, stared wide-eyed in utter horror.

Lu Li took the third step without any expression!

"boom!"

Apart from Yama, who barely managed to cough up blood because of his extremely high cultivation level and being on the very edge, the rest of the group was spared.

The remaining five powerful quasi-emperors included the Soul Celestial Venerable who had once hunted down Lu Li.

Under this spatial compression, his tough quasi-emperor body was crushed as if by a giant millstone. Before he could even scream, he was completely annihilated into a thick cloud of blood mist!

Their weakened souls, in the instant they dissipated, were precisely absorbed by the Emperor's Banner without any waste!

At the same time, Lu Li activated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

Adhering to the principle of never wasting precious resources.

A vortex of devouring energy appeared in his palm.

The massive essence and origin of the five quasi-emperors after they exploded obediently transformed into five pure blood-red rainbows, which he greedily devoured and refined into his body!

Meanwhile, in a secret room beneath the Seven Killings Cult headquarters.

An old man on his deathbed clearly sensed the terrifying yet familiar aura of the demonic emperor outside.

A rare look of intense emotion and relief flashed across his cloudy eyes.

"Eternal Night..."

The old man murmured weakly, "You... you've finally come!"

This person was none other than Tianjizi, Lu Li's good friend from the Imperial Road, who was skilled at divination!

However, although he nominally held the title of a distinguished guest of the Seven Killings Sect, he was actually imprisoned in this secret room and could not even step out of the room. He had been completely reduced to a deduction machine exclusively used by the Seven Killings Sect!

Outside, Lu Li coldly looked down at the kneeling Yama, the Heavenly Venerable.

Just as he raised his palm, preparing to decisively kill the last troublesome leader of the Seven Killings Sect.

"Eternal Night".

A cold, indifferent voice, seemingly emanating from the deepest depths of the Netherworld, then resounded within this enclosed cave.

"You've settled all the scores from back then. Why don't you stop here?"

As the words were spoken, an unparalleled and terrifying aura unique to the supreme beings of the forbidden zones, carrying a hint of decaying imperial might, descended upon this grotto-heaven with a thunderous roar.

The entire space trembled violently under this aura.

The newcomer was none other than the Underworld Emperor, the greatest source of confidence in Yama's words!

At the same time, he is also the supreme Dark Sovereign of the Netherworld, the forbidden zone of life in the Eastern Wilderness!

In the distant void, a gaunt old man in a black robe slowly emerged.

This person was surrounded by a terrifying aura of death; he was someone who had proven his Dao through the Great Dao of Death!

However, faced with the hypocritical mediation of this supreme ruler of the forbidden zone, Lu Li not only remained unmoved, but instead let out a cold smile.

Lu Li snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he forcefully took a step forward against the overwhelming deathly aura!

At this moment, the imperial might of the fifth level of the Great Emperor was no longer held back in the slightest.
