These demonic figures, cloaked in black robes, had their faces hidden in the shadows of their hoods, revealing only pairs of eyes that gleamed with a ghostly green light. Surrounded by dense Nine Nether Evil Qi, they were a group of Cultivators from the Demon Abyss forces, led by an Immortal Devil God Avatar.
"Nine Underworld Demon Emperor is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, Devil God Incarnation. Should we go forward and assist the Devil Emperor?" Devil Dragon Master - You Yuan respectfully asked the Devil God Incarnation for instructions.
"No need! Let them fight! If Nine Underworld Demon Emperor can hold them back, it will be the best time to invade this Realm. The key is to seize this opportunity to break through the Seal Grand Formation of the two Realm passages!" The Devil God Incarnation stared intently at the fierce battlefield ahead, assessing the trend of the battle, and refused.
At this moment, the battle within the Nine Underworlds Great Array had entered a white-hot stage. Old Man Xuantian, Renhui Holy Monk, Lingyun Old Daoist, and Chen Qingxuan, Feng Wuhen, Qi Xuanming, the six Dao Lords, united their forces to engage in a life-and-death struggle with the true body of the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
Within the Nine Underworlds Great Array, heaven and earth seemed to be torn in half by the dense Nine Nether Evil Qi and Righteous Path spiritual light. The two intertwined and collided, erupting in deafening roars. Within the Array, the true body of the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor was like a towering black mountain, surrounded by dense Nine Nether Qi. With a casual wave, the Nine Nether Qi transformed into a Dao Domain, containing endless destructive power.
Old Man Xuantian, holding the Xuantian Sword, unleashed tens of thousands of Sword Qi with each swing, transforming into a sky-filling Sword Rain that continuously weakened the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's aura.
Renhui Holy Monk chanted scriptures, surrounded by golden Buddha Power, forming an indestructible protective shield that resisted the invasion of Nine Nether Evil Qi from all directions. Holding a Vajra Pestle in one hand, he was like an enraged Vajra, striking the Nine Nether Evil Qi around the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor with each blow of the Vajra Pestle, which carried the Buddha Power that purified all things. Each collision stirred up visible ripples, as if the Nine Nether Evil Qi had encountered its natural enemy.
The Taiyi Divine Pearl in Lingyun Old Daoist's hand grew even more dazzling. He moved with the Bagua steps, his figure as elusive as willow catkins in the wind, while continuously chanting incantations. The Taiyi Divine Pearl traced complex trajectories in the air, seemingly mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to counter the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
Chen Qingxuan put away his Five Elements Formation Plate and held the Gengjin Dao Sword. His Sword Domain was fully open, each sword strike imbued with the sharpness of Gengjin and overwhelming killing intent, directly targeting the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's vital points.
Feng Wuhen, holding the Qinghong Dao Sword, vanished directly. He transformed into a breeze, like a ghost, rapidly moving through the battlefield, searching for the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's weaknesses, attempting a single decisive strike.
Qi Xuanming also activated his Sword Domain and set up a Sword Formation. Standing within the Sword Formation, he remotely controlled the myriad Sword Clones, forming a Sword Dragon formation that surrounded the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor. As the Sword Formation operated, Sword Qi intertwined like threads, forming an impenetrable Sword Net that continuously attacked the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
Facing the combined assault of the six Dao Lords, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor showed no sign of fear. With a wave of his hands, a black demonic light instantly enveloped the entire Nine Underworlds Great Array. This demonic light contained endless resentment and evil, as if it could devour the Soul of all living beings.
"Nine Underworld Devouring Soul, kill!"
As the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor roared, the black demonic light surged like a tide, rushing directly towards the six Dao Lords.
Old Man Xuantian bore the brunt. His Sword Qi flashed, and myriad Sword Rain met it head-on, attempting to sever and annihilate this demonic light. However, the demonic light seemed to have a life of its own, dividing and transforming, flexibly evading the Sword Rain and sweeping in.
Seeing this, Renhui Holy Monk clasped his hands, and golden Buddha Power instantly erupted, forming a solid Buddha Power barrier that protected everyone within it. The demonic light crashed against the Buddha Power barrier, emitting a deafening roar. The two mutually eroded, making it difficult to determine victory.
Lingyun Old Daoist moved with Bagua steps, his figure elusive. The Taiyi Divine Pearl in his hand shone brightly, continuously mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form spiritual energy shields, resisting the invasion of demonic light. At the same time, he continuously chanted incantations, attempting to interfere with and counterattack the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
Chen Qingxuan's Gengjin Dao Sword wielded like lightning in his hand, his Sword Qi materialized, giving birth to golden tigers that appeared and charged directly at the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
Feng Wuhen, like a phantom, rapidly moved through the battlefield. He searched for the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's weaknesses, but the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's body was surrounded by Devilish Qi, as if countless eyes were watching him, causing all of his attacks to miss.
Qi Xuanming's Sword Formation operated swiftly, and the myriad Sword Clones formed a Sword Dragon formation, continuously attacking the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor. However, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor seemed able to discern the Sword Formation's trajectory, always evading in advance, while simultaneously counterattacking and scattering the Sword Formation.
The battle entered its most intense phase, with various techniques emerging endlessly. The six Dao Lords unleashed their ultimate moves. However, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor, relying on the power of the Nine Underworlds Great Array, was evenly matched with them.
Having finally managed to lure out the true body of the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor, they absolutely could not let him escape now. At this critical moment of life and death, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor must be completely suppressed, otherwise the entire Spirit Realm would fall into endless disaster.
"Fellow Daoists, let's combine our strength for one strike and kill this fiend!" Old Man Xuantian transmitted his thoughts to the five others. As he finished speaking, spiritual energy surged within him, and the Xuantian Sword shone brightly, pointing directly at the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
"Xuantian Boundless, Sword Breaks the Firmament!"
Old Man Xuantian roared, and the Xuantian Sword in his hand shone brightly. The sound of a Dragon's roar and a tiger's roar seemed to emanate from the sword body. Immediately after, a gigantic Sword Clone condensed from the sword tip. That Sword Clone contained the power to destroy heaven and earth, stabbing directly at the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
"Purifying Buddha Light! Seize!"
Renhui Holy Monk assumed the stance of an enraged Vajra, transforming into a gigantic golden Buddha statue. The statue held a staff, and Buddha Power condensed on the staff. With a fierce wave, a beam of purifying light shot towards the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
"Taiyi Phoenix Nirvana! Annihilate!"
Lingyun Old Daoist no longer held back. He rapidly chanted incantations, and the Taiyi Divine Pearl shone brightly. Suddenly, the pearl split, transforming into thousands of light points, each containing vast spiritual energy. These light points quickly condensed into a gigantic spiritual energy Phoenix. The Phoenix flapped its wings and soared, carrying raging flames, directly charging towards the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
"Golden Tiger Splits the Sky, Slash!"
Chen Qingxuan's entire body surged with spiritual energy. The Gengjin Dao Sword in his hand was completely enveloped in golden light. The sword sliced through the Void Realm, and instantly, a golden Domain woven from Gengjin Qi appeared with a roar. Within the Domain, Sword Qi was like golden mad Dragons, carrying an irresistible force, directly targeting the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's vital points.
"Wind Dragon Roars to the Sky, Kill!"
Feng Wuhen let out a low growl, his figure suddenly accelerating like a cyan lightning bolt. The Qinghong Dao Sword in his hand was swung fiercely, its tip tracing a perfect arc in the air. A gigantic Dragon, formed from pure wind power, roared out from the sword tip, carrying a deafening Dragon's roar, and charged directly towards the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor.
"Myriad Swords Return to One, Kill!"
Qi Xuanming's eyes flashed with determination. He unleashed his strongest attack without reservation. The myriad Sword Clones within his Sword Domain rapidly condensed, forming a Sword Dragon composed of pure Sword Qi, diving down from beyond the Nine Heavens, vowing to kill the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor in one fell swoop.
Facing this overwhelming, heaven-shattering blow, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's face finally showed an unprecedented solemnity. His body surged with Devilish Qi, and the Nine Nether Qi churned like a boiling ocean.
"Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragon, appear!" With the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's furious roar, an earth-shattering Dragon's roar suddenly sounded. Nine gigantic Dragons, formed from pure Devilish Qi, soared out of the Great Array. Each Dragon was pitch black, its scales shimmering with an eerie light, and its eyes as deep as an abyss. Each exuded power no less than that of a Dao Lord. These were the Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragons, the trump card unleashed by the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor!
Each of these nine Demonic Dragons possessed different powers and forms. Some Dragon bodies were covered in thick demonic armor, incredibly hard, as if they could withstand all attacks in the world; some had wide Dragon wings, and some spewed demonic flames from their mouths, their aura incredibly vast.
Under the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's control, the nine Demonic Dragons began to display astonishing combat power. They either acted alone or cooperated in pairs, launching fierce attacks on the six Dao Lords. For a time, the battlefield was filled with monstrous demonic flames, and Dragon roars rose and fell, shaking heaven and earth.
They engaged in a fierce collision with the attacks of the six Dao Lords.
Old Man Xuantian's Xuantian Sword Qi and the Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragon's demonic flames intertwined, erupting in brilliant sparks;
Renhui Holy Monk's Purifying Buddha Light attempted to purify the evil of the Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragon, but the Demonic Dragon seemed capable of devouring all light, swallowing the Buddha Power one by one;
The Taiyi Phoenix transformed by Lingyun Old Daoist engaged in an aerial struggle with the Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragon. The two went back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand.
Chen Qingxuan's Golden Tiger collided with a Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragon covered in golden armor. Golden light and Devilish Qi intertwined, erupting in a deafening roar. Although the Golden Tiger was fierce, it appeared slightly inferior in front of the Demonic Dragon, being forced back repeatedly.
Feng Wuhen's Wind Dragon and another agile Demonic Dragon tangled in the air. The Wind Dragon roared, the Demonic Dragon roared, both incredibly fast, leaving behind trails of afterimages that dazzled the eyes.
Qi Xuanming's Myriad Sword Dragon confronted a Demonic Dragon covered in flames. The Sword Dragon was sharp, the Fire Dragon was scorching, and when they collided, they erupted in dazzling light, as if they would burn this entire heaven and earth to ashes.
The battle between the six Dao Lords and the nine Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragons was exceptionally fierce. The entire battlefield was enveloped in demonic flames and Sword Qi, and heaven and earth changed color.
For a time, the battle within the Nine Underworlds Great Array entered a white-hot stage. The earth-shattering battle between the six Dao Lords and the nine Nine Underworlds Demonic Dragons seemed to tear the entire Nine Underworlds Great Array apart with its destructive power.
"Hmph, you are all doomed today!" The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor roared, his body surging with Nine Nether Evil Qi. He simultaneously managed multiple tasks: maintaining the operation of the Nine Underworlds Great Array, controlling the nine Demonic Dragons in battle, and searching for opportunities to counterattack.
At this moment, both sides engaged in battle within the Great Array had already sensed the presence of the Demon Abyss forces.
The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor was overjoyed and quickly transmitted a message to the Devil God Incarnation and the Cultivators of the Demon Abyss forces, seeking aid: "You have come at just the right time. Help me kill these six individuals, and this Realm will be within our grasp!"
The three Demon Lords were all moved. Looking at the fierce battle scene in the Nine Underworlds Great Array, they could no longer hold back. However, their gazes all turned towards the Devil God Incarnation, as it was up to it to make the decision.
The Devil God Incarnation was tall, enveloped in dense Devilish Qi, like a Devil God that had emerged from the abyss. Its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, intertwined with cunning and deep thought. It did not respond for a long time, its profound eyes seemingly piercing through the battlefield, discerning everything.
"Devil God Incarnation, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor is fighting six Dao Lords alone, and with the advantage of the Great Array, he is still gaining the upper hand. If we join in, we will surely be able to kill the six Dao Lords of the Spirit Realm," Yin Clan Master - Han Ying quickly advised, gesturing.
"That's right! Devil God Incarnation, if Nine Underworld Demon Emperor falls, the breaking of the Seal will inevitably be hindered. Why not seize this opportunity to kill them now, eliminate future troubles? By then, no one in the Spirit Realm will be able to stop us from breaking the Seal Grand Formation between the two Realms!" Blood Demon Lord - Blood Demon agreed.
Listening to his subordinates' advice, the Devil God Incarnation remained unmoved. His gaze fell upon Old Man Xuantian's Xuantian Sword, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes. During the last Three Realms Great Array, he had suffered quite a bit from this divine sword.
"That Xuantian Sword is no small matter; it is an ancient immortal sword, and its power is enough to threaten the existence of this Devil God. Now, the teleportation array connecting the two Realms has been destroyed, and no more reinforcements can enter this Realm. If you intervene in this battle and perish here, who will bear the responsibility of breaking the Seal Grand Formation between the two Realms?" The Devil God Incarnation swept its gaze over the three Demon Lords, its words like ice, causing the surrounding air to solidify slightly.
Upon hearing this, the three Demon Lords and all the Demon Generals stiffened, their expressions becoming solemn.
"What Devil God Incarnation says is absolutely correct. It was our oversight." Yin Clan Master - Han Ying quickly bowed his head in admission of error, but inwardly, he couldn't help but wonder, does this Xuantian Sword really possess such power?
Blood Demon Lord - Blood Demon also realized his rashness and quickly echoed, "Devil God Incarnation is wise; we were too impatient."
The other Demon Generals also expressed their agreement, not daring to speak lightly of battle again.
Seeing this, the Devil God Incarnation nodded slightly, its tone softening slightly: "Remember, breaking the Seal Grand Formation between the two Realms is our primary mission; do not lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains. Currently, the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor can still hold his own; we do not need to rush."
The Nine Underworld Demon Emperor's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected the Devil God Incarnation to be so wary of that Xuantian Sword, nor had he expected the other party to mention the loss of reinforcements and the Seal Grand Formation.
Although the Nine Underworld Demon Emperor was anxious, he dared not show it on his face, and quickly transmitted: "Devil God Incarnation, you worry too much. Although that Xuantian Sword is strong, the wielder is not the Sword Master himself, and cannot unleash its full power. At this moment, they are already at the end of their rope. With just a little more effort, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop. As for the Seal between the two Realms, once they are eliminated, why worry about it not breaking?"
The Devil God Incarnation merely let out a cold laugh, its chilling voice echoing in everyone's Sea of Consciousness, carrying an undeniable tone as it reminded them: "Nine Underworld Demon Emperor, you are too optimistic; since those six Dao Lords can hold on until now, they must have extraordinary abilities. Moreover, don't forget, although the Upper Realm and the Demon Spirit Realm cannot directly intervene in this matter for now, their spies are spread throughout all Realms, and it's hard to guarantee they won't cause us trouble in other ways."
"You continue to hold them back. After I destroy the Realm Dao Seal, I will come to assist you!" The Eternal Devil God was unwilling to act without seeing results, leaving that remark, and then prepared to withdraw.
After speaking, the Devil God Incarnation's figure gradually blurred, transforming into a wisp of black smoke, seemingly wanting to merge into the Void Realm and completely disappear from the battlefield.
The three Demon Lords and all the Demon Generals exchanged glances, then all cast spells to follow the Devil God Incarnation's figure, retreating together from the Nine Underworld battlefield. (End of Chapter)
