In the great hall, Nie Tian heard Mu Xiongshan say that the Netherworld Emperor had been killed by the martialists of the nine domains. This surprised him greatly.
Although he didn't know how strong the Netherworld Emperor was, from Mu Xiongshan's description, this person's strength was absolutely beyond imagination. Otherwise, the Ancient Ming Race wouldn't have been able to remain the leader of the nine ancient races and rule the Jiuli Demon Domain for hundreds of thousands of years.
The fact that the Netherworld Emperor had the ability to suppress the other eight races was enough to show his strength.
Moreover, Nie Tian could tell from Lieyan Jiufeng and Xue 'er that the Netherworld Emperor was definitely an extraordinary powerhouse!
Nie Tian was very surprised that such a powerhouse had died at the hands of martialists from the nine domains.
In Nie Tian's opinion, the strongest powerhouses in the nine domains were only at the level of Huo Jiushen and Nie Dao. The Inescapable Net and Tian Kui were not weaker than Huo Jiushen and the others.
Tian Kui was already so strong, so the Netherworld Emperor was definitely stronger.
Given the Netherworld Emperor's strength, could anyone in the nine domains be stronger than him?
"Your Majesty, do you know who killed the Netherworld Emperor?" Nie Tian asked with burning eyes after calming down.
He was very curious about who could kill the king of the Ancient Ming Race.
"The ones who killed the Emperor of the Netherworld were two warriors. These two were the strongest people in the Nine Major Realms. They were the two Patriarchs of the Nine Great Families of Creation," Mu Xiongshan said in a low voice. His eyes seemed to be filled with fear.
"The Nine Great Families of Creation!" Nie Tian couldn't help but shudder when he heard this name again.
He didn't expect that the people who killed the Netherworld Emperor were the two patriarchs of the Nine Great Families of Creation.
He already knew that the two strongest families among the Nine Great Families of Creation were the Qi Wu Family and the Nie Family.
Mu Xiongshan sighed and continued, "When the Netherworld Emperor led the nine ancient races to conquer the nine domains, he was invincible. In just a few years, he conquered eight of the nine domains.
Mu Xiongshan sighed and continued, "When the Emperor of the Underworld led the Ancient Nine Clans to conquer the Nine Territories, they were invincible. In just a few years, they conquered eight of the Nine Territories."
"However, in the final battle, the two most powerful Patriarchs of the Nine Great Clans of Creation joined forces and killed the Emperor of the Underworld. Both of them are martial artists with powerful bloodlines. One has the God Forbidding Fetus, the other has the Extreme Demon Fetus. "
"After the two of them joined hands, even someone as powerful as the Underworld Emperor was still no match for them, and died with a grievance in the end."
Hearing this, Nie Tian was completely convinced that the people who killed the Emperor of the Netherworld were the ancestors of the Qi Clan and the Nie Clan.
However, he still found it somewhat inconceivable. Was the God Imprisoning Fetus and the Extreme Demon Fetus really that strong when they joined forces?
"Perhaps it's because their bloodline power is very strong." Nie Tian calmed down and said in his heart. Then, he looked at Mu Xiongshan and could not help but ask, "After the Underworld Emperor died, the Ancient Nine Clans returned to the Jiuli Demon Domain, right?"
"It's not that simple." Mu Xiongshan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said, "Once the Netherworld Emperor died, the martial artists of the Nine Major Realms started to fight back crazily. Most of the martial artists of the Nine Ancient Clans were killed. Only a few of them escaped back to the Nine Li Demon Realm."
"The Nine Ancient Clans suffered disastrous losses in that final battle. The death of the Underworld Emperor caused the Ancient Ming Clan to decline from its peak. "
"The other eight clans believed that this disaster was caused by the Underworld Emperor, so they joined forces and decided to expel the Ancient Ming Clan from the Nine Li Demon Realm."
"The Ancient Ming Clan had nowhere to go after leaving the Nine Li Demon Realm, so they could only return to the Nine Major Realms. What awaited them was even more cruel slaughter."
"Almost all of the Ancient Ming are dead. Only a small number of experts are left, struggling at death's door."
"There is an organization called the Inescapable Net in the Nine Major Realms. It was founded by the survivors of the Ancient Ming Clan."
Nie Tian nodded solemnly, but his expression was not relaxed.
Although Mu Xiongshan did not mention much about the war between the Nine Ancient Clans and the Nine Major Realms, he could imagine how cruel the war was.
That war was a disaster for both the Nine Ancient Clans and the Nine Major Realms.
The Underworld Emperor wanted to annex the Nine Major Realms for his own selfish desires, but in the end, he brought disaster upon himself and his clansmen.
Of course, Nie Tian did not sympathize with the Underworld Emperor and the Ancient Ming Clan because he knew that this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak.
If it weren't for the two ancestors of the Wu Family and Nie Family, the martial practitioners of the Nine Major Realms would have been slaughtered.
After a while, Nie Tian couldn't help but take a deep breath. If Mu Xiongshan hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known that the Ancient Ming Clan and the Nine Major Realms had such a heavy history.
It was no wonder that Huo Jiushen and Nie Dao had been so shocked and frightened when they had learned that Tian Kui was from the Ancient Ming Clan.
The Ancient Ming Clan was called the Heaven Punishing Clan. It was a terrifying clan.
"Your Majesty, you said that the Underworld Emperor is dead, right?" Nie Tian asked as he suddenly thought of something.
"Yes." Mu Xiongshan nodded his head. However, his expression immediately changed as he said, "Originally, I thought that the Emperor of Hell was already dead. However, when I saw Di Zi, I realized that the Emperor of Hell wasn't dead. He was only in a deep sleep."
"What do you mean?" Nie Tian asked in surprise.
"It is rumored that the reason why the Emperor of the Netherworld is so strong is because he obtained an extremely frightening thing at the bottom of the Myriad Devil Abyss, the Heaven Punishing Devil Heart!" Mu Xiongshan's face was gloomy as he spoke in a low voice. It was as if he was worried that someone would hear him.
"The Heaven Punishing Demon Heart!" Nie Tian frowned and asked, "What is that thing?"
Mu Xiongshan was silent for a long time. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "It is said that the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart is an evil heart refined by the demons of the Primordial Era. As long as one possesses the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart, it is equivalent to possessing an immortal body.
"As long as the Demon Heart doesn't die, the Demon Body is indestructible!
"Although the Underworld Emperor was defeated, his Heaven Punishing Demon Heart cannot be destroyed. Therefore, I guess that the person who defeated the Underworld Emperor must have used some special method to seal the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart.
"But they must not have thought that the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart cannot be sealed for too long. The longer it is sealed, the stronger the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart will become.
"Now, the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart is about to be unsealed."
Mu Xiongshan's expression became very strange as he said this. He looked like a person on a pilgrimage. His eyes were trembling, and at the same time, there was a trace of panic.
At this moment, Nie Tian finally understood, and a worried expression appeared on his face.
The Underworld Emperor was indeed killed by the ancestors of the Qi Clan and the Nie Clan, but they only killed his demonic body. They could not destroy the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart. In the end, they could only seal the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart. They did not expect that the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart would be so strong that it could not be sealed for too long.
Finally, it was time for the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart to be unsealed.
As long as the Heaven Punishing Demon Heart was unsealed, the Underworld Emperor would be resurrected!
