The yin mist pervaded the air and white bones littered the ground. In front of them was a squad of over ten Yin soldiers. They were clad in heavy armor and wielded halberds and spears. They were filled with an austere aura.
They patrolled this place with an eerie aura. There was no sign of life on their bodies and they were like cold puppets.
"So many ghosts. Have we arrived at the underworld?" The rotten child was speechless. His face was pale at first, but now, he was gradually adapting. His little heart was slowly becoming more tenacious.
Ye Fan frowned. He might have seen a super power that had existed since the ancient times. It could be said to be an extremely terrifying inheritance. This was definitely a very serious matter.
Yin soldiers borrowed the path to conquer the distant lands!
There were such legends since ancient times, but very few people knew about the secrets behind them. This was clearly the mobilization of troops across star domains. How terrifying was this? Just thinking about it made one's scalp go numb.
He didn't believe in the legends of evil ghosts. This was definitely a supreme organization!
Ye Fan opened his Heavenly Gaze and carefully observed these Yin soldiers. They were all ancient corpses that had died for who knew how many tens of thousands of years. Some of their armors were clearly in the style of immemorial iron clothes.
"Uncle, don't tell me we've really arrived at the underworld?" The rotten child asked in a small voice. His heart was in a mess.
Ye Fan was startled. "The underworld … this part of the starry sky also has a legend?"
"Yes, the place where the dead go is also called the underworld. Isn't that what the people say?" The little fellow blinked his big eyes and innocently asked.
Ye Fan was stunned after hearing this. Whether it was on earth, in the Big Dipper, or on this ancient starry sky path, they all had such legends.
He had always scoffed at these rumors after he embarked on the path of cultivation. Cultivators themselves could fly in the sky, tunnel through the earth, move mountains and fill the seas. They were already considered immortals in the eyes of mortals, so why would they believe in the ghosts of the underworld?
At this moment, Ye Fan discovered that he had overlooked an extremely serious fact. Many ancient starry sky places had legends of the underworld, but he had chosen to ignore them.
"The underworld … under the rule of the Celestial Court, such an organization truly existed in the era of legends. It hasn't been completely annihilated, and it still controls the underworld!"
Ye Fan shuddered. He instantly thought of many questions. He had neglected a terrible question all these years. Who said that everything in the Celestial Court had turned to smoke?
Over the countless years, Ancient Heaven was not just a simple survival of a small number of lost races. There should have been a considerable number of tribes that passed down their orthodoxy.
The behemoth Ancient Heaven had not really turned into ashes. There were still traces of it. Perhaps there were still some gods ruling over some ancient star fields!
The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. It wasn't as simple as just surviving a few descendants. Perhaps some of the regions they ruled had never declined.
"At the very least, the Underworld still exists. With so many Netherworld soldiers passing through, what kind of enormous force is this? They can mobilize troops across star fields. It can be described as a peerlessly terrifying force!"
Ye Fan had consulted many envoys and learned that the Ancient Starry Sky Road of the Human Race was a legacy of the Mythological Era. It had existed since the Ancient Heaven Era and was inherited by later generations.
"It's the same road. If we continue like this, we might encounter everything in the Ancient Heaven."
Ye Fan opened his Celestial Eye and carefully observed these Netherworld soldiers. Through their armor, he saw their true appearances. Most of them were humans, but there were also a few demons and ancient races.
"The Underworld under the rule of the Celestial Court doesn't discriminate between races. It's just that this part of the ancient road belongs to the Human Race. In the end, the Celestial Race, Human Race, Demon Race, and other branches will merge and lead to the Ancient Ultimate Land."
Ye Fan bypassed this group of Netherworld soldiers and continued forward. In an open space, he saw a huge city. It was an immortal city built on white bones.
Black mist curled up one after another. There weren't many Netherworld soldiers, but they calmly entered and left this ancient city to patrol.
"What does all of this have to do with the Yuan Taoist Master? How did they intersect?" Ye Fan muttered to himself.
This was practically a miniature Underworld. There were no living creatures, only lifeless corpses. It was unknown why they could walk around like this, and even form groups of Netherworld soldiers.
It was truly hard to imagine that there would be such a huge ancient city on such an unremarkable meteorite. It was truly shocking, and contained countless secrets.
"Uncle, what are you planning to do? Could it be that you want to wreak havoc in the Underworld?" Yang Xi's expression changed from uneasiness to calmness, and then to excitement. This change happened very quickly.
"Oh, I really have to go and take a look." Ye Fan nodded. He needed to thoroughly understand everything, as there were too many secrets hidden within.
A single step took him hundreds of miles, and he circled around the meteorite. There was yin mist everywhere, and skeletons could be seen everywhere. It was extremely similar to the Underworld.
There weren't many Netherworld soldiers, and they were all gathered in this ancient city, as though they were guarding something. This was an important stronghold of the Underworld.
Bang!
Ye Fan circulated the Bing Word Incantation, and a Netherworld soldier was flung through the air. In an instant, it was captured by Ye Fan. The heavily armored Netherworld soldier opened its mouth and howled. Qin Wentian lifted his golden palm and directly pressed down, immobilizing the Netherworld soldier.
He pointed a finger at the Netherworld soldier, reading the memories of its immortal-foundation. However, a cracking sound rang out as the Netherworld soldier's skull shattered. That place had long rotted away, and there were no memories left. There was only a devil will that echoed in his sea of consciousness, "Protect this city."
How powerful was Ye Fan now? The yin soldier's struggle was futile. When this layer of armor was ripped off, cracks appeared all over its body, and then it turned into dust. Then, the armor did the same, disappearing with the wind.
"What method did he use to summon them back to the battlefield?" Ye Fan couldn't understand no matter how hard he thought about it.
He continued to attack and captured more than ten Netherworld soldiers. Almost all of them experienced the same phenomenon. Their entire bodies turned into dust, as though they had experienced millions of years in an instant.
There was only one exception. One of the Netherworld soldiers shone with a dark light before it rapidly shrank, turning into a thumb-sized black jade puppet. With a ding sound, it fell to the ground, its entire body flickering with a demonic light.
Ye Fan picked it up and looked at it again and again. Such a thing had happened before in the Supreme Ancient Purgatory. Duan De captured a Netherworld soldier, and in the end, it turned into a jet-black puppet.
After many years, Duan De figured out that this was a Yin Talisman, a Netherworld soldier created by a supreme existence to summon real ancient corpses as servants.
It was difficult to obtain any great harvests outside the stronghold. Ye Fan moved stealthily and arrived in front of the city wall. He executed the Row Word Incantation and entered. Although there were formation runes obstructing him, it was difficult to stop him.
The city was deathly silent, there were no signs of life at all. Only a sparse number of Netherworld soldiers could be seen walking on the ancient streets. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
All of a sudden, the Yin energy in the entire ancient city surged violently. All kinds of cold auras gathered in his direction.
This was a city of the dead, and Ye Fan was a living being. He was sensed by the powerful and strange ancient formation runes, attracting the entire city of Netherworld soldiers to attack him.
"Who … dares to intrude into my Underworld?" A hoarse voice transmitted over, low and terrifying. He arrived in a flash, bringing with him a torrential Yin mist.
This was a general of the Netherworld soldiers. He was clad in black armor, revealing a pair of deep and cold eyes. It was as if a ghostly fire was flickering in his eyes, emitting an astonishing holy might. Behind him, there was a large black mass of Netherworld soldiers. Hundreds of Netherworld soldiers wielded their weapons as they surrounded Ye Fan.
"I finally met someone with divine sense fluctuations." Ye Fan muttered to himself. He was not startled, but rather happy.
Very soon, he was greatly shocked. The immortal platform of this Netherworld soldier general was black, different from the holiness of cultivators. The Yin energy there was dense, like a cave of ghosts.
"What kind of place is this exactly? What kind of existences are you all? Why are you guarding this place?" Ye Fan asked.
"On the road to Underworld … there is a pass. Why did you … barge in?" His voice was hoarse, and his words weren't very clear. His divine sense was scattered.
"Where is Underworld?" Ye Fan asked again.
"I don't know, but you … want to join us." He suddenly let out a long howl, causing the entire pass to tremble. In the distance, there were densely packed Netherworld soldiers everywhere, rushing over.
At the same time, there was another long howl. A second Netherworld soldier general appeared, transforming into a beam of black demonic light as he rushed over, surrounding Ye Fan.
This was an unavoidable battle. The thoughts of the Netherworld soldier general were very simple. He wanted to turn Ye Fan into one of them, turn him into a corpse, and enter Underworld.
"The night march of a hundred ghosts, the dance of corpses. Uncle, hurry up and enter Underworld. If we succeed, we will be gods!" The little rotten child cried out excitedly.
What kind of nonsense was this? Ye Fan didn't care about it and began to fight. The moment the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist appeared, golden blood qi surged. Many of the Netherworld soldiers turned into black smoke, and a small number of them became black jade puppets, falling to the ground.
The powerful Ye Fan today could completely rule over an area. Even if he was in an ancient pass in Underworld, he still had no fear and could suppress an entire region.
Pu, pu …
Fist sounds rang out one after another. Ye Fan's fist force could definitely shatter mountains, rivers, and all living things. It was as easy as breaking dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Patches of Netherworld soldiers were turned into flying ashes.
Ye Fan's golden palm descended, like a celestial emperor descending to the mortal world. The two generals couldn't move at all, both of them were suppressed. No matter how much they screamed, it was useless.
Ye Fan searched their black immortal platforms. It was incomparably chaotic inside. They only had simple consciousnesses and were ordered to protect this place. There were no other distracting thoughts. This was an important place for Netherworld soldiers to pass through.
"Uncle, you're really too powerful. Have we become gods after defeating Underworld?" Yang Xi cried out.
Ye Fan felt a great pressure. He had a bad premonition. He had come into contact with a shocking secret from ancient times until now. The Celestial Court had been destroyed, but the rule of Underworld Earth hadn't collapsed yet. After such a long period of time, they had always been mobilizing troops. Where exactly were they attacking?
"Can I enter the Underworld of the Legendary Era from this place?" He muttered to himself. He escorted the two generals forward and searched the ancient city.
Suddenly, Ye Fan's heart trembled. His entire body shone and golden blood surged. Densely packed red hair grew out from the surface of his body. His entire body was in pain and he felt uneasy.
In the center of the ancient city, there were many heavenly origin runes that crisscrossed and emitted dazzling light. They were all activated.
Strands of blood spread along the runes, causing this place to look incomparably demonic. It was filled with a strange and powerful magic power fluctuation.
In the center of the blood-colored runes, there was a tall figure covered in red hair. The figure's back was facing him, and he looked like a devil.
"Die for me!"
Ye Fan shouted. A golden blood mist appeared, isolating the ominous aura outside his body. The blood-colored hair on his body was burned clean, and his body expelled strands of yin qi.
"Which generation's Heaven Source Ancestor are you? Or are you an existence from the starry sky?"
"I don't know the starting point, and I don't know the ending point. The end of the cycle of reincarnation will come to an end." The tall figure covered in red hair suddenly turned around. Even his eyes were blood-red.
