In the depths of the Ancient Netherworld Ruins, there was an underground palace. On the throne sat a figure shrouded in darkness. It was like a black hole vortex, crazily devouring all the light in the surroundings.
Chains that seemed to be condensed from smoke extended from the figure shrouded in the dark vortex to every corner of the underground palace, as if they were one with the underground palace.
Below the throne, there was a dense group of people kneeling. All of them were shrouded in dark and cold Nether Qi. They were silent and motionless, as if they were statues.
"How dare you sneak into my Underworld to steal the Nether Seed. You're courting death. Move out, all of you move out. Chase after and bring back that audacious thief." The figure in the dark vortex roared furiously. The chains that were burning with dark flames shook violently, emitting an ear-piercing sound that reverberated in the underground palace.
"Yes." Below, a group of kneeling figures responded in a low voice.
In the next moment, numerous figures leaped up and transformed into streaks of grey lightning that flew out of the underground palace. They followed the complicated passageways and rushed out of the underground palace from the secret entrances and exits, appearing on the ground of the Ancient Netherworld Ruins.
They quickly communicated with each other and quickly dispersed, forming a fan shape as they rushed out in all directions. Their speed was astonishing.
…
With Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin, Chen Zong and the other two entered the Ancient Netherworld Ruins.
Although Chen Zong was affected by the Heart Demon and could not display his full combat strength, his current combat strength was not bad.
It was a pity that although the three of them found a few Heaven Underworld Ancient Trees, they either did not bear fruit, were far from ripening, or had been destroyed.
Previously, the Heaven Underworld Ancient Tree was one of the most common mysteries in the Ancient Netherworld Ruins. However, due to the ripening of the fruits, it attracted powerful Underworld Beasts and was destroyed.
Because of this, the number of Heaven Underworld Ancient Trees kept decreasing. If this continued, it would become a scarce resource.
Although they did not obtain the Heaven Underworld Fruit, the three of them were lucky and found a King of Hell Palace, a King of Hell Palace that had not been broken through yet.
But here came the problem. The Nether King Palace was divided into different levels, and there was a restriction on one's cultivation level.
Although Chen Zong's combat strength was affected by his inner demon, he was still a Yuan Underworld cultivator. On the other hand, Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin were both at the Dao Manipulation Realm. One was at the Eight Refinement Realm, while the other was at the Nine Refinement Realm.
However, the opportunity was right in front of him, and he couldn't miss it.
"Nianxin, you and senior sister Li go and have a try first." Chen Zong said.
His relationship with Li Jiayin was rather ordinary, and she was Yu Nianxin's senior sister. Therefore, it was quite appropriate to address Li Jiayin as Senior Sister Li.
Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin didn't decline. The opportunity was right in front of them, so of course, they had to seize it.
The path of cultivation was full of hardships. No matter how talented a cultivator was, they had to seize every opportunity that was beneficial to them.
Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin moved forward. When they came into contact with the door of the King of Hell Palace, they immediately passed through it.
This was a low-level Nether King Palace.
"You go ahead, I'll wait outside." Chen Zong smiled.
"Thank you very much." Li Jiayin was very grateful. Yu Nianxin smiled at Chen Zong and stepped into the King of Hell Palace.
Chen Zong tried and found that there was a force blocking him. Indeed, he couldn't enter. Then, he had to wait outside.
Of course, Chen Zong wasn't stupid enough to waste time waiting. Instead, he paid attention to the movements around him with the Three Realms of Mind. He cultivated and comprehended at the same time. He didn't waste any time.
Although he couldn't give full play to his combat power due to the interference of the Inner Demon, and he couldn't even use the Supreme Lingwu Method normally, this didn't hinder his own cultivation and comprehension.
Previously, he had eaten more than a hundred Tianming Fruits, which stimulated a lot of his potential. It was in an active state, and it was easier for him to cultivate and transform it into his own strength, thereby increasing his combat power.
Time passed slowly. Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin entered the low-level Nether King Palace to challenge. Chen Zong wasn't clear about the situation, but he couldn't lend a helping hand, so he could only wait here.
Two figures in white robes quickly flew over from afar.
"Nether King Palace." The two figures saw the Nether King Palace from afar and immediately showed a touch of joy. They quickly approached.
Immediately, they saw the person standing in front of the Nether King Palace.
"It's you." Ao Shengming frowned slightly.
"It's him." Bai Songdie also frowned.
"Your Excellency, didn't you leave the Ancient Netherworld Ruins?" After approaching, Ao Shengming stared at Chen Zong and asked with a smile.
"Are you in charge of the Ancient Netherworld Ruins?" Chen Zong asked in a neither fast nor slow manner.
What he meant was that he could come and go as he pleased in the Ancient Netherworld Ruins. It had nothing to do with him.
Ao Shengming's gentlemanly and modest face seemed to pause for a moment, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes. However, it was just a flash. If it wasn't for Chen Zong's sharp senses, he wouldn't have noticed it.
"Your Excellency's legs are on your body. It's your freedom to go wherever you want." Ao Shengming smiled again. "However, where are my two junior sisters from the Ice Saint Palace?"
"Inside." Chen Zong responded and didn't say anything else.
Ao Shengming looked like a gentleman on the surface, but his heart wasn't like that. Chen Zong didn't intend to be long-winded with such a person.
"Low-level Nether King Palace." Bai Songdie was overjoyed when she heard this. Her cultivation was at the Ninth Transformation of the Dao Controlling Realm, and her combat power was at the eleven-star level. It was most suitable for her to challenge the low-level Nether King Palace.
In her joy, Bai Songdie's figure moved. Like a bird spreading its wings, she quickly rushed toward the gate of the low-level Nether King Palace.
However, Bai Songdie found that she couldn't get close to the gate of the Nether King Palace at all. She was blocked by a sword light. The sword light was faint, and its brilliance was like autumn water. It was like a stream flowing through the void, but it was filled with an extremely shocking sharpness.
As soon as she got close, Bai Songdie could feel the shocking sharpness. It seemed to cut across her body, as if it was going to cut her in half. It was extremely terrifying.
"What do you mean?" Bai Songdie's face darkened.
"There's already someone." Chen Zong's tone was indifferent. Besides waiting for Yu Nianxin, Chen Zong stayed behind to guard and prevent others from entering. He didn't want to disturb Yu Nianxin's challenge of the Nether King Palace.
"Your Excellency, you're too overbearing." Ao Shengming frowned. His tone wasn't as modest as before. It was cold and harsh. However, Chen Zong didn't speak again. It was obvious that he didn't want to bother. Ao Shengming's gaze became even colder. "If that's the case, then I'll offend you."
The moment he finished speaking, Ao Shengming attacked. The longsword at his waist left its scabbard, and an extremely bright sword light sprayed out from his hand. The sword light was sharp, and it was filled with an endless chill. As soon as it appeared, it tore through the air and charged forward. Frost gathered and spread out along the way.
Ao Shengming was a genius at the initial level of the Yuanming Realm. His battle strength had reached the two-star level when he unleashed his sword.
Chen Zong didn't move. He didn't unsheathe the long sword at his waist. He just used his finger to replace the sword. As the sword light flickered, it seemed to exist between existence and nothingness as it silently pierced through the air.
The sword light seemed to be faintly discernible, but it was dazzling and resplendent. In an instant, it collided with Ao Shengming's sword.
There was a faint sound of metal clashing. It was the collision of the sword light. The sword light was so condensed that it seemed to have turned into a solid object.
In an instant, the sword light shattered one after another.
Ao Shengming was slightly surprised. The other party had a sword at his waist, so he was obviously a swordsman. However, his sword was evenly matched with his sword without being unsheathed. This meant that the other party's battle strength was higher than he had imagined.
However, the other party didn't draw his sword. Was he looking down on him?
In his anger, Ao Shengming displayed the Ice Dragon Path's inherited sword technique. As his sword pierced through the air, the faint roar of a dragon could be heard. The sword light instantly transformed into a white ice dragon. Its eyes seemed to be burning with blue ice fire. Its body swayed as it bared its fangs and brandished its claws. It was as if it was controlling the nine heavens as it instantly attacked.
The chill suddenly descended and attacked as if it wanted to completely freeze Chen Zong. The shocking chill also made Chen Zong feel cold.
The power of this sword had been raised to the peak of the two-star level.
However, Chen Zong still didn't draw his sword.
His true strength lay in the sword. Without a sword, he would not be able to unleash his full strength. However, with the increase in his cultivation and the strengthening of the Way of the Sword, Chen Zong would still be able to unleash shocking battle prowess even without a sword.
His sword pierced through the air. It seemed that he was overestimating himself. However, the extremely resplendent sword light pierced through the air in an instant.
Collision!
It collapsed again.
Fury!
Ao Shengming was extremely furious. He immediately activated all of his strength, all of his strength.
The dragon's roar was extremely loud and resounding. The roar reverberated through the air and shook the void. As the ripples spread, the surrounding Nether Qi was directly frozen and turned into an ice ring, covering Ao Shengming's body.
Full strength!
Endless cold energy surged and poured into the sword in his hand. It was flowing with brilliant colors like countless small snakes slithering around and finally condensing.
The Ice Dragon said, "Dragon Roaming the World!"
The sword struck out. In an instant, a lifelike ice dragon that was more than ten meters long broke through the air. Its sharp claws were terrifying. The chill descended and froze the surroundings. A frost quickly spread and turned into an ice path in the void. It took the lead to rush toward Chen Zong. The shocking chill continued to invade Chen Zong as if it wanted to freeze him.
This kind of power had surpassed the two-star level and reached the three-star level.
Chen Zong felt threatened. After all, his combat strength was restrained by his inner demon. Currently, he could only display the three-star level at most.
He drew his sword!
In an instant, the Extreme Heart Phaseless Sword was unsheathed. It was like a flash of the Absolute Beginning Divine Light, sweeping across the sky and sweeping everything in its path.
The Sword Technique of Heart Refinement: Sword Three!
Affected by the inner demon, Chen Zong's control of the Realm of Sword Tao was also weakened. He could only display the complete Sword Three and the incomplete Sword Four.
Sword Three was enough to deal with Ao Shengming's sword.
The extremely condensed sword was extremely powerful and could pierce through everything.
The Path of Frost was pierced through in an instant. Immediately, the ice dragon that was more than ten meters long was also pierced through.
The same three-star battle strength attack. However, the power of Chen Zong's sword was more condensed. Ao Shengming's full-strength sword could not block it.
