Yan Nanlai wanted to use the special effects of the Blood Soul Calming Curse to kill his own ancestor, Yan Xinghe, who had turned into an evil soul and was controlled by the King Of The Underworld as his puppet.
In a time when the war between the two worlds had reached its climax, where the swordsmen of the Human Race and the Demonic Race were locked in a fierce battle, Yan Nanlai's method could be considered the least costly and most likely to succeed in ruining the Emperor of the Underworld's plans.
The King Of The Underworld was well aware of his intentions, and had been secretly guarding against this.
Previously, You Ming Daoist brought the Book of Life and Death, and Blood River Daoist's evil soul had gone out to search for Yan Nanlai and launch a surprise attack, all to destroy Yan Nanlai's Blood Soul Calming Curse ritual.
But Zhou Di Liang Pan brought the First Imperial Palace, and Gu Jun brought the Longevity Lotus Throne to protect Yan Nanlai and buy time.
On the other hand, the King Of The Underworld's Netherworld Altar was gradually broken through by Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Gu Yuankai, and the rest.
To the King Of The Underworld, whether it was Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Gu Yuankai, Cangtian Dao Jian, or the South Pole Treasure Gourd, none of them posed a threat to him. But if the ritual was interrupted because of this, it would ruin his plans, and he would not have such a good opportunity in the future.
So the King Of The Underworld finally called Blood River Daoist back to protect him.
Blood River Daoist returned, and immediately the Netherworld Altar was impregnable, and no one could take a step past it. If not for Gu Jun bringing the Longevity Lotus Throne, Yang Qing, Li Yuanfang, Gu Yuankai, and the rest would all have perished under the sea of blood.
But in this way, Yan Nanlai's side was empty. The wisdom of the King Of The Underworld's action was questionable.
"He has a way to deal with Taixu Temple's Yan Monastery Head? Our attack on the altar and Yan Monastery Head killing Yan Xinghe with the Blood Soul Calming Curse, the latter is more of a threat. " Gu Yuankai stood beside Gu Jun and said in a deep voice, "Even if he was forced, he should not have made such a foolish move. It looks like he has a card up his sleeve."
"But if he already had a way to deal with it and was not afraid of the Yan Monastery Master's Blood Soul Tranquility Spell, then why did he have to order Taoist You Ming and Taoist Blood River to kill the Yan Monastery Master so many times?"
Gu Yuankai's eyes were filled with doubt. "If there is a way to nullify the Blood Soul Calming Curse, then we just have to ignore it. With Yan Guan Lord's cultivation, if he wants to use the Blood Soul Calming Curse to kill Yan Xinghe, no matter what the outcome is, he will have to sacrifice all his life essence."
Gu Jun stared at the Darkness Altar that was surrounded by the blood sea and didn't say a word. On the other side, Gu Peng asked, "Could it be a bluff to mislead us?"
After saying that, Gu Peng shook his head first.
It was true that Yan Nanlai must have felt the same way as everyone else. He was filled with doubts about the King Of The Underworld's move.
If the King Of The Underworld really had a way to nullify the Blood Soul Calming Curse on Yan Xinghe, then the Taixu Temple's current Monastery Head Yan Nanlai would have lost his life in vain. It would be equivalent to suicide. In the history of Taixu Temple, and even in the history of the Divine Land's human cultivation world, it could be said that he had died an extremely sullen death.
Yan Nanlai was not afraid of death, but to have a meaningless death was something that he could not accept.
But if Yan Nanlai hesitated because of the King Of The Underworld's unclear actions and watched the King Of The Underworld snatch the Haotian Mirror, then he would become a sad joke.
Giving up on the Blood Soul Calming Curse and coming to the altar, with his current injuries and strength, even if he joined forces with Gu Jun, they would not be able to break through Daoist Blood River's defense. If the other party was determined to defend, even if Yan Nanlai was at his peak and joined forces with Gu Jun's Longevity Lotus Throne, they would not be able to break through in a short period of time.
Gu Yuankai muttered, "The Book of Life and Death is in the hands of Daoist You Ming. At this moment, he is fighting with the Great Zhou Dynasty's Liang Pan and the Grand Imperial Palace. Let's turn around and attack Daoist You Ming!"
"Even if we can't kill him completely, as long as we can obtain a few pages of the Book of Life and Death and refine them into the Longevity Lotus Throne, allowing the Longevity Lotus Throne to take the final step and completely achieve good fortune. Then, we can join forces with the Yan Monastery Head and the Grand Imperial Palace to attack Daoist Blood River. Maybe we can break through the current crisis!"
"Although it will take some time, it is still a way."
Gu Peng murmured, "Ninth Uncle, you are right, but no one can predict how long it will take for the King Of The Underworld to carry out the ritual to seize the Haotian Mirror. Even if he is unable to seize the mirror successfully, as long as the Haotian Mirror in the Mysterious Sea is shaken, Taixu Temple's defense will be broken through by the dragon race in the Mysterious Sea, and the situation will be completely out of control …"
As they were speaking, Gu Jun suddenly interrupted them and said, "It's too late."
Gu Yuankai and Gu Peng both raised their eyes and looked into the void far away. They saw a crack in the space above the altar and the Blood Sea, and a middle-aged black-clothed Daoist came out from it. He held an ancient scroll in his hand that flashed with a mysterious and vast radiance. It was Daoist You Ming and the Book of Life and Death.
The two fell into the Blood Sea together. The Blood Sea did not cause any harm or obstruction to Daoist You Ming and the Book of Life and Death, allowing them to fall on top of the Netherworld Altar.
Gu Jun said calmly, "When he called back Blood River Daoist, he also called back Daoist You Ming and the Book of Life and Death, not giving us a chance to break them one by one. After giving up the plan to kill the Lord of Yan Abbey, he will definitely gather the forces at hand and will not split them up again."
Gu Yuankai, Gu Peng, and the others nodded. Then, as the void trembled, the huge Imperial Palace also appeared, shining with purple and gold light. Its majestic and majestic momentum shocked the heavens.
Not only was Gu Jun surprised, but Blood River Daoist's eyes also flashed as he looked at the Imperial Palace.
On top of the Netherworld Altar, Daoist You Ming also looked at the Imperial Palace and gently flipped the Book of Life and Death in his hand. As the light flashed, the gray world of the dead appeared and guarded the Netherworld Altar together with the Blood Sea.
He had just experienced the power of the number one treasure of Human Emperor, which had returned to its peak. He was at a disadvantage when he activated the Book of Life and Death and felt that it was not easy to resist.
But whether it was Gu Jun in the sea of white lotuses or Emperor Zhou Liang Pan in the Imperial Palace, they were not relaxed at this moment.
Although they had joined forces, Blood River Daoist and Daoist You Ming, as well as the power of the Book of Life and Death, had also gathered together. It would be difficult to break through the defense line of the King Of The Underworld in a short period of time.
Gu Yuankai said in a low voice, "Will it still depend on the Lord of Yan Abbey?"
At this moment, they, along with Emperor Zhou and Liang Pan, received Yan Nanlai's voice transmission using his transcendence energy, "Thank you, fellow Daoists, for your hard work earlier. Next, I will continue with the ritual. If I succeed and ruin the Underworld Emperor's plans, he will most likely be enraged. Fellow Daoists, please be careful."
"… If I fail, the rest will depend on my friends. This matter concerns the war between the two worlds. I hope that my friends will work together."
Emperor Zhou Liang Pan said, "The King Of The Underworld's methods have suddenly changed. I'm afraid you, Lord of Yan Abbey, won't succeed."
Silently, Yan Nanlai said, "If the King Of The Underworld really has a way to dissolve my ritual, he wouldn't have needed to send people to kill me. He could have just waited for me to step onto the path of death."
"There must be a reason for the sudden changes in his methods and the indecisiveness in his actions. Even if I can't destroy his ritual, I'll make him pay a huge price, which will adversely affect his plans. In this way, even if I die, I'll be able to fight for a greater chance of victory for all of you."
The current Temple Master of Taixu Temple said calmly, "I was injured by Youdu. Even if I rush over to attack the enemy's defense line with all of you, I will be of limited use and won't be of much help in the overall situation."
"Most importantly, time is of the essence. We can wait, but our masters in the Xuanhai Sea might not. It's not good for me to take the risk, but since I have no choice, I don't lack the courage to take the risk."
Far away in the void, on the vast land of the Divine Prefecture, Yan Nanlai's hands continuously formed seals. The huge rune in the void above his head had already turned completely dark red. Rays of golden light flowed on top of it, as if they were electric currents.
Yan Xinghe took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice, "Go!"
As he shouted, a blood line suddenly shot out from the dark red rune. It went deep into the void, and that blood line was incomparably ethereal. It passed through the layers of void and arrived at the location of the King Of The Underworld's Netherworld Sacrificial Altar.
The gray world formed by the power of the Life and Death Book and the blood sea controlled by Daoist Blood River stretched across the horizon. Liang Pan, Grand Imperial Palace, Gu Jun, and the Longevity Lotus Throne couldn't break through easily.
However, these majestic forces couldn't stop the ethereal dark red line. Both parties seemed to be in two different worlds, and they couldn't touch each other. Daoist Blood River and Daoist You Ming could only watch as the blood line landed on the Netherworld Sacrificial Altar.
On the top of the sacrificial altar, beside the King Of The Underworld, Yan Xinghe, who had turned into an Evil Soul, changed his hand seals. Streams of magic power, consciousness, and thoughts were transmitted into the Xuanhai Sea through the long banner in the King Of The Underworld's hand.
His expression was indifferent. Only when the blood line appeared and landed on his forehead did Yan Xinghe's numb gaze suddenly change, revealing a different emotion.
On the other end of the blood line, the dark red rune descended from the sky and entered Yan Nanlai's body. That blood line connected him to his ancestor.
In the past, it was his pride and his belief. Yan Xinghe's greatest influence on him wasn't because of his bloodline, but because of his ideology.
But now, he was going to destroy him with his own hands. He was going to send this influential figure in the history of Taixu Temple into the cycle of reincarnation.
At this moment, even with Yan Nanlai's usual calm state of mind, he couldn't help but feel complicated and sorrowful.
Yan Xinghe raised his eyes and looked into the void. His gaze became calm again, and no emotions could be seen. It was as if he was looking at his descendants, his inheritors, through layers of void.
He calmly nodded his head. Yan Nanlai closed his eyes and suddenly clasped his hands together in a hand seal. Numerous cracks instantly appeared on his primordial spirit!
From these cracks, a large amount of golden essence of the Great Dao sprayed out like fresh blood.
As this golden brilliance sprayed out in the void, it gradually turned into dark red blood, covering the entire world!
In the next moment, the dark red blood began to burn, and the red line that connected Yan Nanlai and Yan Xinghe trembled violently. Dark red light flowed out of Yan Nanlai's body, following the blood line and flowing towards Yan Xinghe!
Yan Xinghe's body trembled violently when he felt the dark red light flowing from the blood line.
