"He's awake?"

Upon seeing this, the White Tiger Ancestor's eyes suddenly lit up.

"woke up!"

Xu Xiwang was overjoyed.

boom!

But the next moment, something unexpected happened.

Xu Yifeng opened his eyes, his pupils were pitch black, and they flickered with endless coldness, like two eternal flames of the underworld.

At the same moment, Bai Zhiyao's eyes also turned pitch black, as if night had fallen, and an indescribable terrifying aura emanated from her, sweeping in all directions.

Gradually, a woman appeared behind the two. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, her black hair flowed freely, her skin was snow-white, and her features were exquisite, like a goddess in a painting.

She stood behind the two of them, like a dark shadow.

Strangely, her body was entirely constructed from a jet-black lotus flower, with a string of silver bells hanging from her ears, exuding a bewitching aura.

"What?"

The White Tiger Ancestor was slightly taken aback, then his pupils constricted and he exclaimed, "Impossible! She's still alive!"

"Mother of the Underworld!"

Xu Xiwang was also deeply shocked and said in a deep voice.

"The Mother of the Underworld?"

Upon hearing this title, Bai Jing's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Others may not know, but the Kunlun demon clan is very clear about the secrets of that time.

People generally believe that the Nine Nether Hells were created by the Underworld Emperor, but the actual ruler of the Nine Nether Hells was the Underworld Mother, who was a great emperor with unparalleled cultivation.

Legend has it that the Netherworld Flower is a divine medicine that can bring the dead back to life, heal the wounded, and reverse the cycle of life and death. It possesses miraculous effects and is extremely rare.

This divine herb is essentially what the Underworld Mother transformed into after her death.

When the Underworld Emperor was critically injured and on the verge of death, in order to preserve his physical body, he personally killed his beloved Underworld Mother and absorbed her ghostly energy and cultivation.

The Mother of the Underworld was filled with resentment. After her death, she used her extraordinary abilities to transform into a flower of the underworld, which cursed and suppressed the remnant body of the Underworld Emperor through countless cycles of life and death.

After this flower was plucked by Xu Yifeng from Hell, the remnant body of the Underworld Emperor was revived.

No one could have imagined that the soul of the Underworld Mother had not been extinguished, but had resided in this flower for ten thousand years.

When someone uses this flower to save their life, it is also the day the Mother of the Underworld is resurrected.

"Hehehe..."

The flowers of the netherworld murmured softly, as if weeping and lamenting.

"Mother of the Underworld, what are you trying to do!"

The White Tiger Ancestor's eyes were icy cold as he stared intently at the Netherworld Flower, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I will take my revenge!"

The Mother of the Underworld murmured softly, filled with boundless hatred.

"Hmph! You've been dead for ten thousand years, yet you dare to dream of resurrection? What a fool's dream."

The White Tiger Ancestor gave a cold shout, his whole body radiating a dazzling white light, like a god.

In an instant, the Netherworld Flower trembled incessantly, releasing unparalleled evil energy that swept outwards in all directions.

"Hmph! Mother of the Underworld, I advise you to stay obediently in the flower bud!"

The White Tiger Ancestor sneered and unleashed a punch, instantly crushing all evil energy and breaking the seal of the Netherworld Flower.

"Little tiger, ten thousand years ago, you were just a small demon beast. Ten thousand years later, you're just a quasi-emperor at the peak. What makes you think you can fight me?"

"The Mother of the Underworld spoke in a deep voice from within the Flower of the Underworld."

"Mother of the Underworld, isn't your goal to seek revenge against the Underworld Emperor?"

Xu Xiwang, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, "Now that the entire Nine Nether Hell has fallen into the hands of the Underworld Emperor, if you want revenge, I can help you."

"You'll help me? You're just a greenhorn! A mere ant with only the cultivation of a first-level Saint Emperor!"

The Mother of the Underworld mocked.

"Indeed, I am but a Holy Emperor. Though you are strong, the passage of countless ages has long since exhausted your last bit of power. Furthermore, you are now merely a remnant soul, your strength has plummeted to rock bottom. Do you still consider yourself the same Netherworld Mother you once were?"

Xu Xiwang said coldly.

"Their lives are in my hands."

The Underworld Mother controlled Xu Yifeng and Bai Zhiyao's bodies, seemingly fearless.

"hehe!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiwang's lips curled into a cold smile, and he slowly approached.

What are you going to do?

The Mother of the Underworld's expression changed drastically; she sensed a danger.

"Mother of the Underworld, you're welcome to try and see if I dare to refine you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace appeared in front of Xu Xiwang!

Countless malevolent energies surged across Xu Xiwang's right arm, and the vortex in his palm grew ever deeper. "Let's see if they die first or you die first!"

"The Heavenly Spirit Furnace! How did it end up in your hands?!"

The Underworld Mother's face turned deathly pale, and she was utterly horrified.

The Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace is said to be able to melt all things, making it a forbidden weapon!

As the wife of the Underworld Emperor, the Underworld Mother was naturally familiar with this treasure!

“We can talk.”

Xu Xiwang, carrying the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, slowly approached, his expression utterly calm.

The Underworld Mother also revealed a ferocious expression; she was indeed wary of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace.

"How do you want to talk?" the Underworld Mother asked through gritted teeth.

"Simple! Release the person, and I'll find you a suitable body."

Xu Xiwang said calmly, his expression relaxed, as if he had the other party completely under his control.

"What kind of physical body?"

The Mother of the Underworld sneered, "I am the dignified ruler of the Nine Netherworlds, why would I choose a mortal body?"

"That's true. You are a noble Mother of the Underworld, so naturally you deserve a better physical body."

Xu Xiwang nodded, then changed the subject, asking, "What about the physical bodies of the ancient imperial clans?"

Upon hearing this, the Underworld Mother's pupils constricted sharply, her gaze fixed on Xu Xiwang, remaining silent.

She was clearly somewhat tempted.

"The ancient imperial clans possess extraordinary abilities. You, a mere Holy Emperor, dare to make such grand pronouncements? Are you just trying to paint a rosy picture for me?"

"Mother of the Underworld, then just treat it as a dream."

Xu Xiwang shook his head, about to activate the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace, when suddenly, the Underworld Mother spoke again: "Wait!"

She stared at Xu Xiwang's face for a long time, and finally sighed:

"Since you wish to help me rebuild my physical body, then I will agree. But what guarantee do you have?"

Do you have a choice?

Xu Xiwang said calmly.

"good!"

The Mother of the Underworld gritted her teeth, her heart filled with intense killing intent; she truly had no other choice.

"Buzz~"

As the words fell, the Netherworld Flower unleashed strange ripples that enveloped the two of them.

A thin mist appeared on the surface of Xu Yifeng and Bai Zhiyao's bodies and quickly dissolved.

"ah!"

Bai Zhiyao screamed in agony, her body trembling violently, as if she had endured inhuman torture.

Xu Yifeng, on the other hand, was much quieter, with a hint of calm in his expression.

"hehe...."

Xu Xiwang suddenly appeared beside Xu Yifeng and Bai Zhiyao, grabbed them, and extracted the ghost energy from their bodies.

Then, he took out several bottles of healing pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into Xu Yifeng and Bai Zhiyao's mouths.

“Zhiyao.…”

"Yi Feng..."

The two opened their eyes, embraced each other, their eyes filled with tears.

"Third Uncle, you always say I'm useless! How come you're just as useless!"

Xu Xiwang looked at the crying Xu Yifeng and couldn't help but tease him.

"Get lost, it's good that your third aunt is alright."

Xu Yifeng gently wiped away Bai Zhiyao's tears and said softly.
