After exchanging a few blows with Netherworld Emperor Yan Kuang, Yi Tian was able to suppress him and destroy Yan Kuang's body. To his surprise, Yan Kuang's soul immediately descended and sought out Netherworld Enchantress in an attempt to reconstruct his own body.
Bi Luo was also very resolute. At the very least, she had anticipated this situation long ago, so she had made ample preparations. Bi Luo's soul escaped from her body, and she used a secret technique to sever the portion of her soul that Yan Kuang's soul possessed.
Bi Luo had severed her arm in order to survive. If Yan Kuang were to devour her, her soul would be assimilated, and she would cease to exist in this world.
The Enchantress of Azure Luo's soul directly entered the body she had prepared in advance, but in this way, when she reappeared in front of everyone, her cultivation base had already fallen to the Severed Soul Stage, but this was still better than being devoured by Ning.
On the other hand, Yan Kuang's cultivation base had also fallen to the mid-Body Integration Stage after possessing Bi Luo's body. However, it wouldn't be difficult for him to recover his cultivation base.
The Netherworld Child and the others were naturally shocked. If Yan Kuang were to successfully escape, he would become a major threat to them.
At this moment, they discovered that Yi Tian had no intention of descending to pursue Yan Kuang. Instead, he was going all out to deal with the Ten Thousand Resentment Bead.
However, Yi Tian took this opportunity to release the Taiyuan Sword Silk. The azure sword silk in his hand instantly struck Yan Kuang's body. This time, Yi Tian didn't hold back. The sword silk directly pierced through Yan Kuang's left chest and severed his entire arm. Furthermore, the Taiyuan Sword Silk left behind a thin layer of light on the surface of the wound on Savage's body.
As a result, Yan Kuang was unable to use the Limb Regeneration Technique to restore his body to its original state. Furthermore, his cultivation base fell from the mid-Body Integration Stage to the early-Body Integration Stage, and in the end, he was just barely able to maintain his Body Integration Stage cultivation base. At this point, his strength was far inferior to the Netherworld Boy and the others, at least on the surface.
Soon after, Ning Kuang turned around and did not hesitate to use a secret technique to escape the battlefield. Yi Tian, who was in the air, had to deal with the Ten Thousand Grievances Bead. Naturally, he did not have time to deal with Ning Kuang. Later, he could only leave this matter to the Netherworld Child. At the same time, he also passed the jade slip that Yan Wenjing had left behind to Yan Qiu. Through the Yellow Spring Clan's secret technique, he could sense Ning Kuang's exact location. This was also one of the backup plans that Yan Wenjing had left behind.
However, Yi Tian still had Shi Jinming stay behind before he started the pursuit. He only needed Yan Qiu and Wan Gang to work with the Netherworld Boy. After all, if two mid-Body Integration cultivators and a late-Body Integration cultivator couldn't defeat Ning Kuang, then it could only mean that Ning Kuang was still alive.
After staying in the air for a while, Yi Tian asked Wan Zhongliu to quickly evacuate the Imperial City below. He wanted to collect the Ten Thousand Grievances Bead and place it in the Imperial City to surround it. Speaking of which, Yi Tian was in a dilemma. If he relied on his own cultivation base to control the Ten Thousand Grievances Bead, he would only be treating the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Moreover, he naturally didn't want to be trapped here for a long time.
Yi Tian had originally considered keeping Shi Jinming and sending him to the Infernal Court's Realm Gate to receive the Buddhist Sect. Yan Qiu and Wan Gang were too restrained by the Buddhist Sect's cultivators in terms of their cultivation base. It would be difficult for them to receive the Buddhist Sect's cultivators.
However, if he wanted the Buddhist Sect's cultivators to cross the Infernal Court to the Nether Realm, there must be a high-level cultivator accompanying them. It seemed that Shi Jinming was an extremely suitable candidate. At the very least, if he led the ordinary Buddhist Sect's cultivators to fly in the sky of the Infernal Court and the Nether Realm, they would not attract the attention and criticism of those low-level cultivators.
Moreover, he did not have much of an attribute conflict with the Buddhist Sect's cultivation base. After handing over a Heavenly Thunder Eight Notes talisman as a token, Shi Jinming hurriedly set off for the Infernal Court.
At the same time, Yi Tian freed his hand and took out a Realm Crossing Talisman. After writing the details on it, he directly activated it and sent it out. After the talisman spun a few times in the air, a one-foot-wide opening suddenly appeared in the void in front of it. The golden talisman instantly sank into it and disappeared without a trace.
After doing this, Yi Tian took out a palm-sized array disc and activated it after injecting the spiritual power in his hand. With a gentle push, the array disc flew to a position a thousand feet above the Imperial City with a 'whoosh' sound. After a while, a golden spiritual light extended from the array disc and enveloped the Imperial City below in a radius of 30 miles.
In this way, no matter how many vengeful souls there were in the Bead of Ten Thousand Grievances, they could not break through the barrier of the golden array disc. However, Yi Tian knew that this was just a temporary measure. Although the sealing array was powerful, it could not cure the root cause. He had to completely purify the thousands of vengeful souls in the Bead of Ten Thousand Grievances first. He could only rely on the Buddhist Sect's supreme ability to transcend them and reincarnate.
After doing this, Yi Tian slowly lowered his body and rested on a mountain peak ten miles away from the Imperial City. The previous consecutive battles and the use of such a powerful array had consumed a lot of spiritual power.
After finding an open space on the mountain peak, Yi Tian slowly sat down cross-legged. He took out a few bottles of 'immortal peach wine' and gulped them down. Only then did he feel his spiritual power recover.
Now that his cultivation base had increased to such a level, ordinary spirit treasures and medicinal herbs could no longer satisfy his needs. However, it was better than nothing. There were still some benefits in increasing the quantity.
After swallowing a few medicinal pills, Yi Tian raised his hand and set up a restriction barrier around him. Then, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to meditate and recuperate.
To be honest, with the strength he had displayed in the battle, those Nether Realm cultivators naturally stayed away from him. Not to mention Severed Soul Stage cultivators, even Body Integration Stage cultivators like Wan Zhongliu did not dare to offend him. After seeing Yi Tian sitting cross-legged on the mountain peak, Wan Zhongliu hurriedly ordered the Yellow Springs Guards to retreat fifty miles away from the restriction barrier so as not to disturb the cultivation of a powerful cultivator.
There were also many Nether Realm cultivators who had survived the battle from afar and left on their own. For them, Yi Tian was already standing at an unreachable position. It was already a great fortune to be able to see the face of a Grand Ascension Stage cultivator from afar.
Only a red spirit light flew out and flew to the edge of the restriction barrier. It found an empty space and sat down to meditate. Yi Tian's divine sense quickly swept past this, and after three breaths of time, he smiled and did not say anything else.
The person who had arrived was Beauty Bi Luo. At this moment, she did not directly leave. Instead, she seemed to want to stay under the protection of his aura.
However, thinking about it, Beauty Bi Luo was one of the leaders of this battle. As the representative of Netherworld Emperor Yan Kuang in the Nether Realm, she was also one of the leaders of this battle. But unexpectedly, the Enchantress of Blue Sky also ended up in a situation where she had no choice but to put away her bow and arrow. If she had not been prepared, there would be no Beauty Bi Luo now.
However, at this moment, Beauty Bi Luo's spirit pressure fluctuated rapidly, and she was in an unstable state. This time, Ning Kuang was controlling the Ten Thousand Resentment Bead to collect souls, and he was attacking the Nether Realm cultivators indiscriminately. The remaining Nether Realm cultivators were angry at Yan Kuang, but they didn't dare to say anything. They also didn't dare to have any thoughts about Beauty Bi Luo, who was at the Body Integration Stage. However, after Beauty Bi Luo's cultivation level fell to the Severed Soul Stage, she would become a thorn in the flesh for those who wanted to see her.
Beauty Bi Luo didn't directly escape. Instead, she hid outside Yi Tian's restriction. Her intention was very clear. She was most worried about being dealt with, not just by the Nether Realm cultivators, but also by the Underworld Guards.
Even if Wan Zhongliu didn't make a move, his disciples and grand disciples were all holding back their resentment. If Beauty Bi Luo left directly, she would face endless pursuit. It was better to stay here for the time being. At least, seeing her aura, even Wan Zhongliu didn't dare to make a move, let alone those Severed Soul Stage cultivators.
After seeing through Beauty Bi Luo's trick, Yi Tian's expression changed slightly. He closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to these mundane matters. He slowly raised the Fire Dragon Flag in his hand and wrapped it in his life true fire before putting it into his Niwan Palace for future use.
The battlefield recovered its calm once more, and many cultivators from the Nether Dimension left successively. They understood that it was already extremely fortunate for them to be able to keep their lives after today's incident, so they naturally wouldn't have any improper thoughts towards the forces of the Nether Dimension.
Half a day later, a streak of light flew out from the temporary residence of the Underworld Guards. It slowly stabilized before the restriction barrier. The light faded to reveal its true appearance. It was the current backbone of the Underworld Guards, Wan Zhongliu. His expression became solemn and he saluted, "Underworld Guard Wan Zhongliu requests an audience with Senior Yi."
"Fellow Daoist Wan is an old acquaintance of mine. There's no need to be so courteous between us. Let's quickly enter and talk." With that said, a one-meter-long opening appeared in the light of the restriction. Wan Zhongliu hastily flew forward and entered the restriction.
After a short while, he slowly flew to the top of the mountain. After landing on the cloud, he quickly walked up to Yi Tian and cupped his fists, "This time, many thanks to Fellow Daoist Yi for saving my Yellow Springs Guard from danger. I represent the Yellow Springs Guard in thanking you for your kindness."
However, Wan Zhongliu was unable to continue saluting. Yi Tian's voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Wan, there is no need to be so distant. Please come up and have a chat."
After listening, Wan Zhongliu stood up again. After saluting, he walked to the right side of Yi Tian and sat on the ground.
Before he spoke, Wan Zhongliu said, "This time, it is all thanks to Brother Yi's help. Now that Ning Kuang's strength has been greatly reduced, it is only a matter of time before he is defeated by Yan Qiu and Wan Gang."
"More or less. Ning Kuang's cultivation has fallen to the early stage of the Unification Stage, and he was injured by my secret technique. There is no possibility for him to escape under the joint pursuit of three Unification Stage cultivators." Yi Tian replied with a faint smile.
However, after hearing Wan Zhongliu's words, he knew that he would most likely come to test him today. After all, Ning Kuang's strength was beaten to the point that he couldn't raise his head. His subordinates, the Blue Sky Enchantress and the Netherworld Boy, had betrayed him. He was afraid that the remaining strength in the Underworld Guards was no match for the current Underworld Guards.
For the current Underworld Guards, taking back the old capital and resettling it in the Underworld Guards was tantamount to re-declaring their sovereignty over the entire Nether Realm. However, Wan Zhongliu still had some scruples about the Netherworld Boy. In terms of cultivation, he was still inferior, so he wanted to ask Yi Tian's opinion. It would be best if he could get his approval. Even if he didn't get a definite reply, as long as he could get his share of Fu Zhao, he would be able to suppress the Netherworld Boy again.
Yi Tian could somewhat guess what Wan Zhongliu was thinking, but he didn't want to get too involved in the division of forces in the Nether Realm. After thinking about it, he changed the topic and asked, "How are the losses of the Underworld Guards after this battle? Is there any damage to their overall strength?"
Speaking of this, Wan Zhongliu's face darkened. He smiled bitterly and helplessly, "This time, the Underworld Guards can only be considered a pyrrhic victory. We killed 1000 enemies and suffered 800 casualties. Even the next heir of the royal family, Ning Wenjing, died in the battle. "
Yi Tian raised his eyebrows slightly, but he seemed to have expected this. There was no surprise on his face. He remembered that when he was in the Demon Realm, he had already adopted the strategy of 'hoarding rare goods' to prevent such a situation from happening one day.
Then he sighed and comforted, "Fellow Wan doesn't have to worry about the continuation of the royal family. One of the two princes is currently cultivating in the Demon Realm's Nine Immortal Mountain. Fellow Wan can personally go to the Demon Realm and bring the prince back to inherit the throne. "
Wan Zhongliu's expression became serious and he thanked again, "Back then, it was thanks to Brother Yi's plan that the royal family of the Nether Realm could survive. Today, after receiving your advice, I will go to the Demon Realm to bring Ning Wenchang back. "
"That's good." Yi Tian nodded in agreement.
"I just don't know if the royal family can find another place to settle down after Ning Wenchang returns to the Nether Realm." Wan Zhongliu braced himself and said, "Now that the dynasty below has been tainted by the 'Bead of Ten Thousand Resentment', even if it can be cleaned up, this imperial city is not very suitable for the new emperor to inherit the throne."
After saying all this, Wan Zhongliu finally let out a sigh of relief. No matter what, he had already expressed his intentions very clearly.
Yi Tian's gaze swept past Wan Zhongliu. He saw the other party's expression of anticipation, but he didn't dare to overstep his boundaries. Then he smiled faintly and replied, "The imperial city of the Nether Realm was originally in the 'Nether Realm'. It was just that the Ning Kuang Camp had built his blood pool deep under the imperial city. If Fellow Wan wants to bring the new emperor back to the old capital, then you will have to do one thing for me."
When Wan Zhongliu heard this, his entire body trembled and he hurriedly replied, "Let alone one thing, even ten things are fine." After all, with his promise, the Netherworld Child wouldn't dare to go against it. The Yellow Spring Guard would definitely bring the new emperor back to the capital.
