A long spear cleaved through the sky, heading straight for the strange man.

It is Xu Xiwang!

The strange man's eyes sharpened.

He flicked his hand, and a bronze mirror appeared, hovering in front of him, scattering endless radiance.

Ring ring!

The bronze mirror trembled, and the clear sound of bells resounded throughout the eight directions and six realms, like celestial music, deafening and soaring straight to the sky.

"boom!"

The spear collided with the bronze mirror, bursting into dazzling sparks, and a terrifying force spread, stirring up a storm.

Xu Xiwang grunted and took a few steps back.

His face was slightly pale as he stared intently at the strange man.

"You all must die!!!"

The strange man roared, his arms bulging with muscles.

"Wang Changqing, she is the Holy Maiden of your Tianxing Sect, how can you bear to abandon her and run away?"

Xu Xiwang shouted angrily.

"For those who have attained the Great Way, what is emotion?"

Wang Changqing let out a low roar and continued his escape without looking back, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"you!"

Xu Xiwang's face turned ashen.

The Celestial Saintess wept silently.

"What are you barking about, dog!"

At this moment, the strange man grinned menacingly and attacked again.

His body was writhing with demonic energy, carrying a terrifying pressure that swept across the eight wastelands and six directions.

"Freeze!"

Ning Hanshuang let out a delicate shout, and with a light stomp of her jade foot, the world instantly froze.

Sizzle~

Snowflakes fell thick and fast, transforming into sharp blades that swept towards the strange man.

"Hahaha, you're quite something, girl. You've only just woken up and already have such good fortune. Today, I'll enjoy it!"

The strange man licked his scarlet lips.

Such a furnace is a rare sight, and he had long coveted it.

Pfft~ Pfft~

Bright red blood splattered everywhere.

With a sweep of his hand, the strange man shattered all the ice crystals, and his entire body transformed into a cannonball and shot out.

"Get out of the way!"

Xu Xiwang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately pulled Ning Hanshuang back a hundred feet away.

Bang!

"Hehe, little girl, you're very pretty. Be a good girl and become my furnace, and I guarantee you'll have an amazing time."

The strange man grinned wildly, and with a swift movement, he was about to capture Ning Hanshuang.

The next moment, Han Yijian and Xu Xingchen made their move!

Xu Xingchen used the power of endless stars to bind the monster, and Han Yijian rushed forward to save the Heavenly Star Saintess from the monster's grasp.

"Damn it, anyone who dares to block my way, kill them all!"

The strange man flew into a rage, clenched his fists, and thick black energy surged from his palms, like demonic claws, as he slammed them towards Han Yijian.

"court death!"

Han Yijian narrowed his eyes, thrusting out his sword with extreme ferocity.

"Bang!"

A flash of sword light, and the strange man's body trembled slightly, but that was all; he was not injured.

"Huh?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the strange man's eyes, then he said coldly, "A natural sword physique! A good tonic!"

He swept his palm across the room, faster than before, accompanied by a whistling wind.

"snort!"

Han Yijian's face was icy cold. He suddenly pushed off with his right foot, leaping high into the air and stomping on the monster's head.

Bang!

The strange man raised one hand and actually clashed head-on with Han Yijian.

The deafening roar echoed throughout the entire celestial palace, causing eardrums to ring and nearly causing people to vomit blood.

Thump thump thump!

The strange man took several steps back before regaining his footing.

At this moment, the other two coffins also began to shake, making a 'clanging' sound.

"Hehehe!"

Amidst the eerie laughter of the strange man, the lids of both coffins were simultaneously flung off, and two skeletons crawled out.

Their appearance was terrifying, composed entirely of decaying bones, their faces deathly pale and bloodless, with only their sunken eye sockets, giving them an eerie look.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer, let's go!"

Xu Xiwang's face was extremely ugly. Without saying a word, he picked up Ning Hanshuang and rushed out.

Although these two skeletons had no spiritual consciousness, they were extremely powerful, reaching the fourth level of the Great Emperor realm.

"Hehehe!"

Immediately afterwards, the two skeletons emitted sharp, hoarse sounds, like the wails of vengeful ghosts, and instantly caught up with Xu Xiwang.

Whoosh!

Two broken swords slashed down, carrying a stench of corpses.

"The Soul-Slaying Blade?"

Xu Xiwang was startled and hurriedly activated his vital energy to unleash the Xuanbing Technique.

"Clang!"

A thick layer of solid ice appeared, blocking the two short swords and freezing them in mid-air.

"It's pitch black here, we must find a way out!"

"Watch me, Old Niu!"

The old ox roared, and its body emitted bursts of golden light.

However, with each step they took, they encountered even more formidable obstacles.

The Immortal Palace was filled with terrifying black mist, which could erode the cultivator's vital energy and cause their true energy to dissipate.

"ah!"

Suddenly, the Mother of the Underworld let out a shrill scream.

Her eyebrows, hair, and clothes were rapidly turning white.

Her appearance is also aging at a visible rate.

In no time, she turned into a skin and bones old woman, with a bunch of white spots on her head, and her wrinkled arms became even more withered.

Her lifespan seemed to be coming to an end; she was about to burn out!

"There is a curse here!"

Old Yellow Ox and Ning Hanshuang both discovered that the black mist here had a fatal effect on living things.

The Underworld Mother, in particular, was the one most severely cursed.
