Chapter 578 The Netherworld Domain and the Mass Slaughter: The Final Battle
Since the battle at the Sword Sect's mountain gate several years ago.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord's health was deteriorating day by day. Even though his bloodline was enough to grant him a lifespan far exceeding that of humans at the same level, the repeated severe injuries had brought him to the brink of death.
That day.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord summoned the White Tiger Demon Clan, who was presiding over the integration of the northern and southern demon clans, and said in a tone of utter helplessness.
"My lifespan is nearing its end. From now on, the demon race will depend on you. That little poisonous dragon cannot be trusted."
The White Tiger Demon Lord frowned deeply.
After examining Qinglong's physical condition closely, it was discovered that the deeply ingrained death aura was about to invade his heart meridian, a sign that his time was coming to an end.
The more generous the Azure Dragon Demon Lord appeared, the deeper his guilt became. Despite being a born killer, a peerless evil spirit representing death, he couldn't utter a single word of dissent.
After a long silence, the White Tiger Demon Lord, who was as strong as a man, spoke.
"It's my fault. If I hadn't been instigated by a villain, I would never have resorted to such cruel methods. In the end, you and I are the pillars of the demon race. If you were to leave, I... would also find it difficult to support such a vast demon race."
"No."
Qinglong shook his head.
"The human race is nearing its end. Before that Dao-Merging Great Power descends, it will likely perish here. The effects will be seen in at most thirty years. After I pass away, you should take the geniuses and elites of each race, select young elders with long lifespans, and go here... to avoid the calamity for a thousand years."
The White Tiger Demon Lord was first surprised, then astonished.
Surprised that the human race's end was near, how could such a judgment be made? And astonished that the place of refuge was not the ancient beast ancestral god mountain that Wang Yu had mentioned before.
"Any doubts?"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord suddenly burst into laughter.
"You human brats have bullied my demon race for ten thousand years. Now, with the help of the celestial beings, I will surely annihilate your race and reduce you to ashes. Let me tell you..."
Immediately afterwards.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord explained his arrangements to the White Tiger one by one. The latter was shocked and even angry. The matter he was referring to was actually fueling the fire by taking advantage of the smuggling system that the demon race had spread all over the world.
The message was instantly transmitted to both regions, and even dangerous places like the Endless Ice Plains and the Wild Ancient Plains, as well as an inconspicuous little mountain village, learned of it immediately.
The White Tiger Demon Lord roared angrily.
Why do you still fight among yourselves and make enemies for the demon race?
"You should know that this matter was handled poorly, and Wang Yu is the only Nascent Soul cultivator left in the world. His combat power is as strong as that of a late-stage cultivator. Why would you want to provoke trouble so easily?"
"Me, starting trouble?"
Speaking of this matter, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord was also furious.
“Wang Yu stole the treasure of the first Holy Lord in the Heavenly Palace, which also provoked the Five Colors to rebel against the demon race and join the thieves outside the realm. He also ruined my healing efforts. Today, I am about to die, and he must bear 50% of the responsibility.”
The white tiger almost laughed out of anger.
"Do you think I don't know what happened in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm? What First Holy Lord? Bullshit! He was clearly the Holy Lord of the Ice Clan..."
"There's not much to say about the Five Colors. If we have to be precise, Wang Yu did disrupt your healing process, but the root cause of your injury lies with me. Now that you're about to die, have you lost your mind?"
Baihu felt a chill in his heart. He had never suspected Qinglong because he had seen Qinglong and Wang Yu getting along well.
Who would have thought that such a mouthful of poison was hidden there.
It was incredibly terrifying, and he immediately became wary of the Azure Dragon. His malevolent nature began to take over, but then he heard the other party say...
“I’m perfectly clear-headed. Since Wang Yu hasn’t come knocking on our door to demand an explanation these past few years, he’s safe. He’s barely able to protect himself, so why would he bother looking for trouble with us…”
Before he could finish speaking...
Then a loud bang was heard from beyond the sky.
"—You old dog, Azure Dragon, come out and face your death!!!"
In the meditation room.
The Azure Dragon and the White Tiger looked at each other, and the former coughed awkwardly: "Forget it, I was wrong. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live, so it's not a loss to give him my life."
He was about to leave when he stopped after taking a few steps.
Their voices were heard, but they were never seen turning around.
"Humanity has suffered a great loss of numbers after this calamity, and naturally, there will be far fewer promising cultivators. The next thousand years will be a period for you to recuperate and rebuild, preparing to reclaim the Ice Prison. When the time comes, you will be able to return to your peak!"
Having said that, his figure flickered and disappeared.
The White Tiger Demon Lord clenched his fists, wanting to beat the Azure Dragon to a pulp, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. Just as he said, for the clan, the Azure Dragon was indeed a hero who risked his life.
Now... we must face death.
The reason why the White Tiger Demon Lord was angry was not because of the Azure Dragon or because he was afraid of Wang Yu, but because of the curse. The curse passed down by the Death Omen Fierce Tiger lineage is related to the fate and destiny.
He had cursed almost all the human prodigies.
It's just a curse from a distance, without any medium to transmit it, so the effect is relatively poor. It generally can't kill a cultivator with profound foundation, but it can allow him to roughly see a person's fortune and luck.
Wang Yu... well, that started when he became famous in both the righteous and demonic paths.
The white tiger then secretly made his move.
At first, it was a curse of bad luck, but he discovered that the person's luck was as green as jade, with azure clouds floating behind them, creating a strange scene of ascending to heaven. Of all the curse targets, this was the most impressive sight.
Then came the rescue of the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
Upon learning that Lian Tian's demonic flame clone had been destroyed by a junior, and out of jealousy of this person's talent, he used the Flower-Shaving Curse this time, which can destroy a person's foundation, potential, and even cut off the target's cultivation level. It was extremely vicious and domineering.
Then he saw the version of Wang Yu with great fortune.
The azure clouds, like a waterfall, surged up to the ninth heaven, lifting Wang Yu upwards. Looking into the depths of the ninth heaven, it seemed as if a pair of divine eyes of heavenly might were looking at him.
This isn't just someone who's achieved great things; he's clearly a chosen one of God, blessed with extraordinary good fortune, a true example of wish fulfillment.
Since then, he has never thought of revenge.
He was even glad that Qinglong was on good terms with him, so at least they wouldn't be enemies. That's why he was so angry after learning about the tricks behind it all and decided to make an enemy of such a lucky guy.
The already limited lifespan of the demon race will likely be completely destroyed.
"well……"
Thinking of this, he sighed deeply.
Only then did he step out of the quiet room, wanting to see how Wang Yu intended to handle the matter.
…………
…………
"The Enlightened Ancient Tea Tree?"
"No, this is a rare treasure brought from the upper realm by the ancient beast ancestor. It took tens of thousands of years to grow to its current state. I cannot give it to you."
"They won't give it to you? That makes things even easier."
Seeing the Azure Dragon's lifeless face, Wang Yu grinned, revealing its gleaming white teeth. Though seemingly spotless, the teeth appeared to be stained with endless blood, sending chills down one's spine.
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly.
"What are you doing? We are surrounded by powerful enemies. Do you still want to be an enemy of my demon race? Do you really not care about the billions of living beings?!"
"Human beings are the only living beings... Beasts are not worthy of breathing the same air as me!"
He admitted that he was somewhat racially arrogant.
Equal discrimination against all races.
Wang Yu raised his right hand, and a noble and mysterious black-purple longsword quietly appeared. With a gentle shake, endless yin energy was generated, and the land beneath his feet turned gray and black at a visible speed.
All ancient trees and medicinal herbs withered and died, their vitality extinguished.
This is one of the rank abilities of the Yama Emperor Sword.
"Netherworld Domain!"
The land of death spread, completely ignoring the protection of the ancestral land's formation. The lesser demons hiding within felt a tightness in their chests and collapsed to the ground with stiff faces after three breaths.
Demonic souls burst forth from within, converging towards the Yama Emperor's Sword.
This is one of the abilities of the Netherworld.
He said—Summon the soul!
It can be described as a model of group attacks, a good helper for annihilating clans, and a cleaner of the weak... Those below the Nascent Soul stage who have not been able to control their body and soul will inevitably face the fate of having their souls summoned if they are in the Netherworld.
in this way.
In just a few breaths, countless demon souls roared in, numbering in the tens of millions at first glance, and the ocean of demon souls surged wildly into the Yama Emperor Sword.
"—You dare, you brat!"
The Azure Dragon Demon Lord was both shocked and furious, unable to believe that Wang Yu would actually dare to act recklessly; it was simply lawless.
Although I'm prepared to sacrifice myself, can't we at least negotiate some terms?
It was this idea that made him refuse the other party's offer to take the ancient tea tree from Wudao.
On the other side.
Harboring the thought that beasts are beasts and deserve to be killed, Wang Yu ruthlessly reaped the lives of a large number of weak demons, never feeling so comfortable before.
It was as if his very soul was trembling, completely intoxicated by the boundless killing karma. The perfect Asura Dharma intention spontaneously emerged from his body, transforming into a boundless sea of blood that complemented the Yama Emperor's Sword perfectly.
These demonic souls will fill the Yin Corpse space within the Emperor's Sword.
If the sword remains undamaged, it will never perish!
They can even absorb the Yin Corpse Qi within to grow stronger, and after death they have more potential than before they were alive.
At that time.
Unable to stand idly by and watch the disaster escalate any longer, the Azure Dragon Demon Lord angrily took action, summoning a Azure Dragon Banner as his treasure and hurling it far away, where it struck the edge of the Netherworld.
As the azure light shone brightly, the ten dragon souls stopped the spread of the Netherworld.
Wang Yu was dissatisfied.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
The second divine power that arises from wielding the Yama Emperor's Sword.
"—The Massacre of Ten Thousand People!"
The demonic souls that had just been enslaved by the sword screamed in agony as their souls were consumed by yin fire, leaving only a black ray clinging to the sword.
This is also the supernatural power that is born from the position of the Underworld Emperor.
The "Ten Thousand People Slash" might not seem like much just from the name, but the activation method is downright bizarre. These demonic souls, transformed into power, only need to wait for a while.
It will be reborn in the Yin Corpse Space, so it is not a one-time consumable. As time goes by, the more Yin souls the Yama Emperor Sword enslaves, the stronger its effect will become!
Evil and powerful, a true demonic treasure.
In the blink of an eye.
The power of millions of black souls... ugh, millions of demons transformed into a sword that cleaved the heavens, slashing swiftly and fiercely towards the Azure Dragon Demon Lord.
The latter's expression changed.
When a demon reaches the end of its lifespan, its bloodline becomes depleted and its vital energy declines, severely impacting its strength. Wang Yu's attack, triggered by a top-grade demonic treasure, was simply too much for him to withstand.
"Spare his life!"
Suddenly, the White Tiger demon roared, trying to save the Azure Dragon's life, but Wang Yu threw out another demonic diagram, which transformed into an endless sea of desire mist, trapping it firmly.
Judging from his plans, he actually intends to completely annihilate the demon race.
Such a strong killing intent.
A violent temper.
The problem is, he truly has that ability. The art of incantation is naturally countered by those with abundant good fortune. Facing Wang Yu, the White Tiger Demon Clan's preferred methods are naturally inferior.
Qinglong is on his deathbed. If he really dies... he will be no match for Wang Yu.
The danger of annihilation is imminent!
"I would like to offer the entire [Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree] to you, fellow Daoist. I implore you to be merciful and spare the demon race and the Azure Dragon!"
The White Tiger Demon Lord made a decisive move, immediately sacrificing himself to save his people.
But Wang Yu completely ignored him.
My heart grew increasingly desolate.
In the endless cold wave, the white tiger only saw a single ice lotus bloom before the life force of the Azure Dragon vanished. Wang Yu picked up a thousand-foot-long dragon corpse frozen in ice and slowly put it into his Sea Heart Ring.
After the Netherworld realm collected nearly half of the demon race's souls.
He personally killed twenty transformed demon cultivators, captured their nascent souls and put them into the ice tower, and threw all the demon race's true bodies into the Sea Heart Ring. The demon infants could be used to refine pills, and the demon bodies could be used to refine the body; they were all good things.
Finally, it restrains the effects of the Six Desires Demon Diagram.
He stared at the White Tiger Demon Lord.
"What happened today is the fault of the demon race. Considering that you once lent a helping hand, I will spare your life. As for the demon race... bring me the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and I will spare your lives."
This is about saving face.
Some of them came from the White Tiger Demon Lord, while others came from the Ancient Beast Ancestor. He had ventured into the Divine Mountain and gained countless benefits. He also received two secret techniques from the remnant spirit of the Ancient Beast Ancestor and was told the secrets of heaven and earth.
That was a very important turning point in his life.
Therefore, he still showed mercy.
otherwise.
The White Tiger Demon Lord obediently went to retrieve the ancient tea tree, showing no intention of retaliating. He knew his own situation well; once his spells and supernatural powers failed, he would be doomed. The ferocious tiger's generally weak demon body... was beyond his ability to fight.
After handing over the treasure, the White Tiger Demon Lord was disheartened.
He didn't say another word.
He unleashed his overwhelming demonic power, transforming it into black clouds, and moved the entire ancestral land of the demon race away. Judging from the direction, he went to the sacred mountain to pick up the many demon ancestors who were cultivating in seclusion in the Heart Beast Tower.
That concludes the discussion.
Following the Ice Clan, the Demon Clan has completely withdrawn from the scene!
As for the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, Wang Yu carefully sealed it away, preparing to find a place to replant it in the future, or perhaps when he breaks through to the Void Refinement stage and has the ability to create his own space, he can plant it as part of his own foundation. Both are good options.
The tea consumption was quite high, and this time he only obtained nine usable leaves, which was enough to support his enlightenment for twenty-seven years.
Solve this matter and obtain the first major treasure.
Wang Yu rushed to the second target without stopping.
Taihu Lingyu, Wujuemen.
The sect leader possessed the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Great Perfection and had five perfect divine abilities, hence the name "Five Absolutes" when he founded the sect.
Wang Yu was pressed for time and didn't care about anything else.
A sea of blood covered the sky, and the Venerable One's overwhelming power swept away everything.
"Master of the Five Absolutes Sect, hand over the Bodhi Seed, or I'll spare your life!"
“What kind of demon is this…Master, senior…Don’t…don’t rush, this junior will offer you the Bodhi seed.”
…………
The ruins of the ancient Qilin clan.
Wang Yu came and went in a hurry. After copying the secret method stolen by the sage, he left immediately. Although he had no intention of cultivating it, it was good to keep such a precious secret method for the time being.
It may be useful in the future.
…………
Taihu Lingyu, Sky Burial Site.
At his level, he could go to any dangerous place in the world, but the difficulty of obtaining the Life and Death Mayfly Gu was still beyond his expectations. Even an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would probably be helpless.
Wang Yu, relying on his strong physique, forced his way into the forbidden area.
At the cost of severe depletion of qi and blood, the mayfly gu was forcibly extracted. Afterwards, the Azure Dragon Corpse replenished the body, so there was no major problem. It only took a little time to recover.
Finally, the chaotic East Sea and Tianmeng Island.
The island's owner treasured three bushels of "Yellow Millet Wine," which was the last of the five methods he collected for enlightenment.
