When Demon Heart was a Dao Master, he had once explored the Ancient Hades Relic. His understanding of the Ancient Hades Relic was far beyond Chen Zong's.
Although Chen Zong had the memory of Sword Master Dongting, Sword Master Dongting had only entered once. At that time, his cultivation was not very high, and he did not go deep. After that, he obtained other opportunities and did not enter again.
The void was vast and there were many secret realms. The Ancient Hades Relic was not the only relic from the Middle Ages. There were many others to choose from. Not only that, but there were also relics from the Ancient Ages and even the Archean Ages. Of course, those relics were relatively rare.
Chen Zong sorted out the information about the Ancient Hades Relic that Demon Heart had told him while waiting for Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin to come out.
Although the battle was fierce, it did not last long. Now that the Inner Demon had been suppressed by Demon Heart's power, it could no longer interfere with Chen Zong's combat strength.
Gods were a special life form formed by the fusion of the mind and the remnant soul. With Demon Heart's power, it was not too difficult to suppress Chen Zong's Inner Demon.
After all, Demon Heart had already signed a contract with Chen Zong. They were one, sharing honor and disgrace.
Two figures appeared at the gate of the Nether King Palace. They were Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin. Their auras were still a little chaotic. Obviously, they had gone through a fierce battle.
Chen Zong also noticed that Yu Nianxin's cultivation had broken through and reached the Ninth Transformation of the Path Controlling Realm. Undoubtedly, her combat strength would be stronger.
"Are you hurt?" Chen Zong asked with a smile.
"No." Yu Nianxin looked around and saw the broken ground and a huge palm print. Suddenly, her expression changed and she was about to speak.
"There were a few Underworld Dwellers just now. It's all right now." Chen Zong smiled and said, "I'm not hurt either."
"Such tacit understanding." Li Jiayin teased, making Yu Nianxin's ears turn slightly red.
"Did you pass the Nether King Palace?" Chen Zong asked again.
"I've passed. I've obtained a token." Yu Nianxin said as she took out the token. However, neither she nor Li Jiayin knew what kind of token it was.
"This is the Underworld God Token. When the Underworld God Palace appears, you can enter with the Underworld God Token," Chen Zong said after looking at it.
There were many rewards for challenging the Netherworld King Palace, and the Netherworld God Token was one of them.
Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin were the ones who challenged the King of Hell Palace. The only reward they received was a God of Hell Token. As for how to distribute it, it was up to them to decide. On this point, Chen Zong would not forcefully interfere.
However, from the looks of it, the God of the Underworld Token seemed to belong to Yu Nianxin.
"Little guy, is this girl your Daoist companion?" The Demon Heart asked. Only Chen Zong could hear its voice. Even the suppressed Inner Demon couldn't hear it.
"Uh …" Chen Zong didn't know how to answer.
Is that so?
Wasn't it?
"The path of cultivation is lonely. It's not bad to have someone to accompany you." The Demon Heart seemed to see Chen Zong's embarrassment at this time. It smiled and then sighed. There seemed to be some nostalgia and loneliness in its words.
This was a god with a story.
"This girl's bloodline is not ordinary. If it fully awakens, her potential will be extraordinary. Although she can't be compared to you, she can be your companion and explore the mysteries of Daoism together."
After that, the Demon Heart fell silent and didn't speak anymore.
The three of them set off again and went deeper into the Ancient Netherworld Ruins to find the Tianming Ancient Tree.
A huge ancient tree thousands of meters tall stood on the dark ground. Above it, there were thick clouds, which seemed to be condensed by countless cold Qi of the Underworld. It was dark and heavy, as if it would fall at any time and crush the earth.
Between the thick leaves, there were fist-sized fruits hanging. Each fruit was black in color. They were not ripe yet, but they were growing toward maturity. It seemed that they would be completely ripe soon.
"Nianxin, Senior Sister Li, go up the tree first. When the Tianming Fruit is ripe, immediately pick it." Chen Zong's eyes flashed and he immediately transmitted his voice. "But remember, if I say go, don't hesitate. Immediately retreat as fast as you can."
The reason why Chen Zong said this was because he was worried that some powerful underworld beasts would be attracted to this place, or some strong masters would appear. If he couldn't fight against them, then Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin would be no match for them.
The gap between the Dao Manipulation Realm and the Yuanming Realm was very obvious.
Upon hearing Chen Zong's words, Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin nodded and remembered it.
Time passed slowly. The three of them had already climbed up the tree and chosen the place where the Tianming Fruit was most concentrated. They hid there and waited for the moment when the Tianming Fruit was ripe.
Chen Zong cultivated while paying attention to the movements around him. This was the mystery of the Heart Sutra.
Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin couldn't. They didn't dare cultivate and could only pay attention to the movements around them at all times, waiting for the moment when the Tianming Fruit would ripen.
The three of them didn't talk. They just waited quietly for the Tianming Fruit to ripen.
As the three of them watched, the color of the Tianming Fruit deepened.
"Someone is coming." Chen Zong's expression changed. Sure enough, two figures flew over at an astonishing speed.
"The Tianming Fruit."
"It's about to ripen."
"Not bad. Our luck is really good."
The conversation of these two people also reached Chen Zong and the others' ears. They didn't conceal it in the slightest.
Chen Zong's expression sank slightly. He could acutely sense the aura fluctuations of these two people. They were both at the Yuanming Realm. One was at the mid-level of the Yuanming Realm, while the other was at the high-level of the Yuanming Realm.
Chen Zong wasn't afraid of the mid-level Yuanming Realm cultivators, but the high-level Yuanming Realm cultivators made Chen Zong somewhat apprehensive.
"Someone's here."
When the two mid-level and high-level Yuanming Realm cultivators approached, they discovered Chen Zong and the others on the tree.
"Come out!" the mid-level Yuanming Realm cultivator shouted.
"Don't blame me for making a move if you don't come out," the high-level Yuanming Realm cultivator threatened.
"Stay here and don't move." Chen Zong transmitted his voice to Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin. Then, he leaped down from the ancient tree that was a few hundred meters tall and stared at the two Yuanming Realm cultivators. "First come, first served."
Chen Zong's words were very brief, but they could be understood. Everything was about first come, first served. This could be considered reasonable.
Of course, Chen Zong also understood that in the face of benefits, reasoning often didn't work. However, sometimes it worked. In any case, it was just a matter of a few words. Chen Zong was also considering the safety of Yu Nianxin and Li Jiayin.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take care of the two of them if a battle broke out.
The two of them were dressed in black robes and their bodies were filled with dense Dark Qi. It was similar to the Dark Qi in the Ancient Netherworld Ruins, but there were also differences.
Clearly, the two of them were from a faction that cultivated Dark Qi cultivation arts.
During the Middle Ages, the Ancient Netherworld Ruins had been an extremely powerful gathering place for Dark Qi cultivators. Although many things from the Middle Ages had been destroyed during the Small Calamity of the Epoch, there were still some things that had been passed down. Naturally, there were also Dark Qi cultivation techniques.
Of course, Dark Qi cultivation was considered a niche inheritance in the Late Ages. It required the corresponding talent.
Although it was a niche inheritance, Dark Qi cultivators were very strong and very difficult to deal with. In a place like the Ancient Netherworld Ruins, they were like fish in water.
In short, after a Dark Qi cultivator entered the Ancient Netherworld Ruins, their combat strength would increase by 20-30%.
Dark Qi cultivators were also the easiest cultivators to transform into Dark Beings. Once they transformed into Dark Beings, the increase in their strength would be even more terrifying.
Chen Zong's thoughts flashed as he stared at the two of them.
The Will Sky Palace had a rich collection of ancient books. Chen Zong had read a lot of them and had a better understanding of the void. Chen Zong had also done some research on those powerful factions.
Among them, there were very few Dark Qi cultivator factions that could be ranked. Among the Celestial Domain-Grade factions, there were only a few. The most powerful one was a top-grade Celestial Domain-Grade faction called the Refining Underworld Territory. It was a powerful faction on the same level as the Sacred Ice Palace and was second only to the Four Great Sacred Lands.
"First come, first served." The mid-level Yuan Underworld cultivator repeated in a mocking tone, as though he was mocking Chen Zong. "Where did you come from, rookie?"
"Cut the crap. The Sky Underworld Fruit is about to ripen." The high-level Yuan Underworld cultivator shouted coldly. Once the Sky Underworld Fruit ripened, it would immediately release a unique fragrance that would attract underworld beasts.
If the underworld beasts attracted were very strong, it would undoubtedly be troublesome.
"Go to hell." The mid-level Yuan Underworld cultivator grinned maliciously. His figure flashed and he suddenly raised his palm. Extremely cold underworld power quickly gathered in the palm of his hand and spun like a small vortex. All his power was restrained and his aura didn't leak out.
However, Chen Zong relied on his extremely sharp senses to sense that the power contained in that palm was extremely terrifying. Before it hit the target, the power would not leak out at all. But once it hit the target, it would immediately pour out and completely explode, causing terrifying damage and destruction.
The palm approached gently, but its power was very terrifying. It blasted directly at Chen Zong's heart without mercy.
The palm broke through the air. It seemed light, but it was as fast as lightning. Chen Zong felt his heart tremble as a cold aura permeated the air.
If he was hit by this palm, he wouldn't feel good even if he had a tyrannical World Divine Body. His heart would most likely be severely injured.
This person's face was malevolent and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Meditation cultivators had always been unpopular in the void. They had always been synonymous with villains and were classified as demonic cultivators. The reason for this was that Meditation cultivators had always been merciless and murderous.
Take this palm strike for example!
Chen Zong narrowed his eyes and a cold glint flashed. The sword-light flickered and turned into an extremely resplendent strike that broke through the air.
Since this person was merciless, he wouldn't hold back either.
Just as the high-level Yuan Underworld cultivator had said, the Sky Underworld Fruit was about to ripen. It wasn't time to waste. He had to end this quickly.
Lingwu Supreme Technique!
Twelve Levels of Heart Flame!
Taichu Sword Origin Body!
Heart Refining Sword Art: Sword Five!
The power of this sword was directly raised to the extreme. It was a combination of Qi Refinement and Body Tempering power. It was extremely terrifying.
After the god's demon heart had awakened, it had been able to sense Chen Zong's condition. After the contract had been signed, it was closely related to Chen Zong. Simply put, it was dependent on Chen Zong.
If Chen Zong died, the god would also die. However, if the god died, Chen Zong wouldn't be injured.
