Chapter 640: Emperor Jiuyou

"It turns out that the Dark Dragon has sealed all the treasures it has collected for many years in its skull. No wonder not a single bit of the treasure's essence leaked out. After Young Friend Ning ignited the internal fire to burn its withered body, its skull burst open. Under the heat of the rising flames, the amazing sight of such treasures flying into the air appeared. It is truly breathtaking."

Ning Tianyi put one hand behind his back and gave a relatively scientific and reasonable explanation for the strange scene before him.

"I see."

True Lord Du'e nodded: "This Dark Dragon's collection must contain rare treasures."

“That’s right!”

A cultivator from the Sangyu Nation said, "City Lord Ning, we worked together to kill the Dark Dragon. This treasure... should everyone have a share? I wonder how City Lord Ning plans to distribute these treasures?"

"How about we just follow the rules of the martial arts world?"

Ning Tianyi said: "We will select treasures in order according to each person's contribution in the battle to kill the Dark Dragon. Each person can only choose one treasure. What do you think?"

"Can."

The two late Nascent Soul cultivators nodded in unison.

True Lord Du'e, True Lord Liuyun, and Lottery Dragon and other people in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul also nodded.

The remaining mid-Nascent Soul cultivators had no objections, but it was useless even if they had any, as they might not even have the chance to choose treasures.

Ning Daoran was focused, and had already released his Nascent Soul consciousness to quickly scan the pile of treasures in the air, quickly identifying the difference between the good and the bad. The best treasure was a bead, which turned out to be a bead containing the essence of a dark attribute treasure. After injecting mana to activate it, it can activate the dark attribute power, and it is a top-grade spiritual treasure! In addition, there are five mid-grade spiritual treasures, and as for the low-grade spiritual treasures, there are more than ten, and the rest are ancient treasures, magic treasures and the like.

As for the magical weapons and spiritual weapons, the Dark Dragon probably thought they were of too low quality, so he didn't collect them at all.

"But I don't know who made the greatest contribution."

An old man in the late Jindan stage asked.

In fact, everyone was releasing their spiritual sense to scan the treasures, and they all knew which ones were valuable treasures and which ones were just inferior magic weapons.

"What do you think?" Ning Tianyi asked with a smile.

“Ahem…”

One of the Sangyu Nation's Nascent Soul Early Stage said, "City Lord Ning used his Divine Form to fight the Dark Dragon head-on, and was injured while saving people. I think City Lord Ning should be ranked first. What do you think?"

"That's right, that's right..."

The other accomplices from Sangyu Country nodded in unison, with flattery in everyone's eyes.

These people all want to stay in Guixu City to kill monsters and gain opportunities, so establishing a good relationship with the Lord of Guixu City is of utmost importance.

"Ning thinks otherwise."

Ning Tianyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I have shown the power of the spirit, it is not the key to really kill the Dark Dragon. On the contrary, friend Ning Daoran is very skilled and bold. He used a wood escape technique to enter the body of the Dark Dragon and used fire magic to detonate the body of the Dark Dragon. This is the reason why we were able to defeat the Dark Dragon. I think that friend Ning is the one who made the most contribution, there is no doubt about that."

“Yes, it is true!”

Ning Mingyu nodded quickly.

If Ning Tianyi hadn't been concerned about his status as the city lord, he would have rolled his eyes at her.

"City Lord Ning is absolutely right."

True Lord Du'e said: "Fellow Daoist Ning is very skilled and courageous. If he hadn't acted in time, I don't know how many fellow Daoists we would have lost before we could kill the beast that is the Dark Dragon."

"Exactly!"

True Lord Liuyun, Sanren Longque and others also nodded.

In the end, the two old men in the late Nascent Soul stage had no choice but to nod and acknowledge Ning Daoran's status as the first contributor.

"Young friend Ning, please come in."

Ning Tianyi pointed at the many treasures and said with a smile: "You can take any one of the treasures."

"Thank you!"

Ning Daoran floated out, clasped his fists towards everyone and said, "Since you are so kind, I will be grateful for your kindness!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and summoned a ray of magic power, which wrapped around the inconspicuous black bead among the pile of treasures.

"Um."

Ning Tianyi nodded in admiration: "This is a dark dragon ball, formed by the dragon ball left behind by the dark dragon for many years. The dark attribute essence in it is extremely rich. It is a rare treasure. Little friend Ning really has a keen eye for pearls!"

Ning Daoran quickly put the dark dragon ball into his storage ring and thanked everyone again and again with an extremely humble attitude.

…

Although there were many people present who were extremely jealous.

But in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is the rule. The combat power displayed by Ning Daoran in the battle with the Dark Dragon was remarkable, and was in no way inferior to that of the late Nascent Soul stage. In addition, he was the first to kill the Dark Dragon, so few people could object to him taking the Dark Dragon Ball.

Next, without any discussion, the second most recognized contributor was naturally Ning Tianyi.

He took away a sword from the treasure, which was a Dark Divine Sword, a mid-grade spiritual treasure. Like the Dark Dragon Ball, it could give rise to dark power, but the concentration of the treasure's essence was far lower than that of the Dark Dragon Ball.

Afterwards, the two late Nascent Soul cultivators each took away two mid-grade spiritual treasures, and then it was actually the turn of True Lord Du'e, who also got a mid-grade spiritual treasure. As for True Lord Longque Sanren and True Lord Liuyun, they each obtained a low-grade magic weapon.

When it was Ning Mingyu's turn, she only took a top-grade magic weapon. For someone of her status, a top-grade magic weapon was simply not worth mentioning, but she was still overjoyed. After all, this was obtained by her desperate battle.

So, some were happy and some were sad, some got spiritual treasures and some got nothing.

At this time, the Dark Dragon's corpse had been burned to ashes, leaving only a pile of debris without any spiritual energy.

…

"Everyone."

Ning Tianyi said: "After passing through the dark dragon's nest, we will be able to see the imperial mausoleum that has been sealed for many years in the Nine Nether City... That will also be our last battle. After razing the imperial mausoleum, the Nine Nether City will be forever sealed in the history of the Eastern Wilderness's immortal cultivation world and will never be opened again. This trip... please do your best!"

"Don't worry, City Lord Ning. Since we are here, we have never thought about conserving our strength!"

Many people spoke out to express their loyalty.

Ning Tianyi naturally responded with a smile.

So, a group of people passed through the long dark dragon's nest and arrived at the back of the Black Mountain, but they saw only darkness in front of them and could not see anything. Moreover, there was some kind of rule power in the space, and even the Nascent Soul consciousness could not explore far.

With their physical bodies, everyone could only see the vague silhouette of a majestic city.

"Nothing?" A cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core frowned.

"Yeah?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Another young man in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm was fearless and suddenly shot a fireball into the air.

“Shua——”

When the fireball bloomed in the air and illuminated a large area, everyone was suddenly terrified!

At the moment the fireball was lit, everyone could see clearly that inside the mighty city, there were densely packed armies that looked extremely elite. All the soldiers were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields. Some rode on fierce horses, while others carried spears several meters long.

In addition, the military forces are extremely complete, including crossbowmen, chariot soldiers, mounted archers, and even archers who pull giant crossbows. At this time, the entire city is densely populated with troops, and judging from the number, there are at least one million people!

What’s even more terrifying is that these soldiers are not living people, but dead objects, and each of them exudes an aura that Ning Daoran is quite familiar with.

The crimson demon!

This army, like the Crimson Demon and Blood Demon in the Black Tide, is also not afraid of the Five Elements magic! "Om~~~"

Inside the city, the iron door of a hall slowly opened, and with the sound of orderly footsteps, the royal guards in golden armor walked out of the hall. Everyone gathered around a man, who was riding a real dragon with its head and tail swaying. The dragon's neck was locked with a chain. The man was dressed in black armor, holding a blood-red sword in his hand, and only two streaks of blood were visible under his helmet.

The Emperor of the Nine Netherworld finally appeared! "Gudong..."

Master Du'e swallowed his saliva and said softly, "This is a bit of a joke."

True Lord Liuyun gritted his teeth, his heart deeply shocked.

Ning Daoran frowned. The black tide that appeared on the surface originated from the Jiuyou City, so there was a certain probability that the source of the black tide came from the Jiuyou City. Even if it was not, the black tide must have polluted the entire Jiuyou City.

Therefore, the appearance of the Black Tide Army in Jiuyou City was conceivable, but Ning Daoran did not expect that there would be so many of them. A terrifying army of one million was somewhat outrageous.

The dark armies of the Nine Nether City may each be as powerful as a blood demon. In this case... the human cultivator army may really have no chance of winning.

Ning Tianyi summoned cultivators from all over the world to attack the Nine Nether City. This was a gamble in itself. If he won, the human world would have many years of peace. If he lost, it would only accelerate the demise of the Eastern Wilderness's immortal world. Such a large army would have to come out sooner or later.

…

"You are just a bunch of ants. Do you dare to step into the Nine Nether City?"

On the dragon's back, Emperor Jiuyou gently waved his sword and sneered, "A cunning rabbit enters a cage, a swimming fish enters a net bag, you are really ridiculous."

"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to panic."

In the air, Ning Tianyi held up the Dark Divine Sword that he had just refined, and said in a deep voice: "Release the Immortal Boat, set up the formation, and prepare for the battle!"

"Let the war begin!"

A group of monks shouted.

Ning Tianyi's strategy was quite wise. He released the flying boat and set up a formation on the spot, turning himself from the attacking side to the defending side. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the opponent's million-strong army.

For a moment, one formation after another overlapped.

Ning Daoran lightly tapped his storage bag and directly released a Taixu Guizhen Formation to guard a large area.

"Fourth-level superior formation?"

A formation master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul was horrified, his face full of respect: "I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Ning is actually a fourth-rank upper-grade formation master... This really opened my eyes..."

"It was just luck, just luck."

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded, then he stacked up two Falling Star Formations and two White Dragon Sea-Splitting Formations.

In the sky, a number of immortal boats were lying across the sky, and the spiritual light cannons were pointed directly at the army of Emperor Jiuyou.

…

"Attack! Kill all these ants!"

Emperor Jiuyou waved his sword and gave the order.

Suddenly, the sounds of footsteps, iron hooves, and chariot wheels intertwined together. On the pillars in the city, spiritual lamps were lit. The next moment, the sky darkened, and the archers in the city launched the first round of volleys. Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive crackling sounds on the outer wall of the formation outside the city. At this moment, the two sides had officially engaged in battle!
