Chapter 164: Nine Nether Gate
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Myriad Ghost Cave covered by the Heaven and Earth Sealing Array Formation, the underground demons and ghostly cultivators sent by the Nine Nether Ghost Sect and the Endless Abyss had actually already been defeated.
Black Flame, Huo Changqing, the Ice Demoness, and the Yin-Yang Demon Bat returned to Qi Ming’s side as he no longer attacked.
1
This was because the battle in the Myriad Ghost Cave had basically ended.
Qi Ming and the others won.
Outside the Heaven and Earth Sealing Array Formation.
The battle and violent conflict in the Endless Abyss of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect seemed to be about to truly begin. The Sect Master of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect and the Lord of the Endless Abyss had already appeared.
“I keep feeling that things are gradually changing in an uncontrollable direction.”
Qi Ming raised his head and glanced at Yang Li, who was standing above the array diagram. He then looked at the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, You Tianling, and the Endless Abyss’s Master, Woodius.
In Qi Ming’s original deduction, the legacy competition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect would be jointly destroyed by the Endless Abyss and the Nine Nether Ghost Sect. Moreover, 90% of the legacy disciples of the twelve peaks of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect were injured, Xiao Fan was heavily injured, and Yuan Feng died…
Such a situation did not happen, nor did You Tianling and Woodius arrive.
Now, The future that Qi Ming had deduced was completely changed.
You Tianling and Woodius arrived.
The entire matter seemed to be developing in an even more uncontrollable direction.
According to this situation, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, the Nine Nether Ghost Sect, and the Endless Abyss were probably going to have a true battle.
“Yang Li.”
You Tianling had a graceful figure. She was wearing a black robe, but it was as thin as a cicada’s wings. Her snow-white skin and hidden parts were faintly discernible.
Her life was also quite legendary. She was originally an ordinary person who had died miserably in the hands of bandits. After her death, her resentment did not dissipate, and her corpse was abandoned in the burial mound. Gradually, she became a ghost.
The jade pendant that You Tianling had always been wearing actually hid the ghost cultivation method, and this jade pendant was something she had picked up in the wilderness when she was ten.
All that could be said was…
Opportunities were indescribable.
This also proved the importance of ‘fortune’. This was because although the fortune of You Tianling had not reached the highest five colors, it was still a four-colored fortune.
Only You Tianling could have such good fortune and opportunities.
She, who had transformed into a ghost, cultivated the ghost cultivation method in the jade pendant and became a ghost cultivator. She slaughtered nearly a thousand people in the entire village.
From then on, You Tianling walked on the path of ghost cultivators and changed her name to You Tianling.
Step by step, she started from an ordinary ghost and entered the ghost cultivator sect. She then entered the Nine Nether Ghost Sect. She had experienced countless difficulties and opportunities.
Now, You Tianling had already become the Sect Master of the Nine Nether Ghost Sect.
In the entire Western Region, the name You Tianling, the Death Ghost Emperor, resounded throughout the Western Region. In the Western Region’s cultivation world, it could be said to be known to everyone. There were no ghosts that did not know her. She was extremely powerful.
As for You Tianling’s previous name…
She had already forgotten.
She would not mention it again.
“Yang Li.”
You Tianling’s expression was cold, but there was a hint of enchantment, “I’ve heard that in the Southern Region, the Heaven Enlightenment Sect is known as the leader of the Southern Region’s righteous path, and you, Yang Li, are the number one person in the Southern Region.”
“I want to see it today.”
“Moreover…”
“Sect Master Yang Li, what do you think your chances of winning are against the two of us?”
“Hehe.”
Woodius laughed softly. His fair face was holding a fan. As the Lord of the Endless Abyss, he led all the underground demons in the Endless Abyss, but he was dressed like a scholar, “Sect Master Yang, do you know how we knew that the legacy competition of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect would be held in this Myriad Ghost Cave?”
“You mobilized so many people and spent so much effort to set up the Heaven and Earth Sealing Array Formation and even personally took action. Aren’t you worried that something will happen to the Heaven Enlightenment Sect?”
“Since the establishment of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, it has already had a million years of history. No matter how many dangers and difficulties it has experienced, it remains standing. Therefore, as for the safety of the Heaven Enlightenment Sect, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Yang Li said.
“Okay.”
Woodius’ eyes flashed. He slapped his right hand and closed the fan in his hand, “Yang Li, in that case, let me see your methods.”
“Let me join in.”
You Tianling’s gaze was cold, “You must pay the price for killing so many ghost cultivators of my Nine Nether Ghost Sect.”
Clang!
A sword cry sounded.
Yang Li waved his right hand, and a three-foot-long green sword landed in his hand. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air. He held the sword in his right hand and looked at You Tianling and Lucius calmly.
“There are thousands of Dao in the world.”
Yang Li said word by word, “I only have one sword. It can sever rivers, destroy cities, move mountains, overturn seas, subdue demons, suppress devils, order gods, pluck stars, break worlds, and split open the heavens!”
“Do you dare to face it?”
“Hahaha…”
Woodius laughed wildly as his battle intent surged. Endless abyssal demonic qi rushed into the sky. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding heaven and earth transformed into a demonic realm.
“What an amazing World Piercing Heaven Splitting Sword Dao.”
Woodius shouted, “I am the Lord of the Endless Abyss. I have a Dao called: Freedom Demon Dao.”
“I don’t seek to become an Immortal Sage. I only seek guidance from the heavens and the earth.”
“The Heaven Furnace and Earth Fire refines my heart. It’s firm, so why should I be afraid of thorns in my way?”
“The Great Dao belongs to me. Regardless of Daoist or Buddha, my heart is my foundation and I am free.”
“Come and fight!”
Woodius looked straight at Yang Li.
Clang!
The next moment, a sword light rushed out of Yang Li’s body. This sword light was the ultimate evolution of the Sword Dao. It was clearly only a sword light, but it had already surpassed the combination of thousands of sword lights.
This strike contained the power of the Sword Dao that Yang Li cultivated.
Boom!
A boundless demonic Dharma Idol rushed out of Woodius’s demonic realm. It had three heads and six arms and seemed to be indomitable. It was like the supreme ruler of the demonic path as it suppressed everything.
Crack!
The sword qi slashed down.
A crack appeared on the demonic Dharma Idol.
However, it was not obvious.
It slowly healed.
“In the mortal world, all lives will die.”
Countless gray runes appeared in You Tianling’s beautiful eyes. Illusory worlds of death appeared around her.
“I have a Dao called the Dao of Death.”
“At the end of life is death, that is where you belong.”
You Tianling did not cultivate Life and Death. What she cultivated and controlled was just Death. She had cultivated the Dao of Death to an extreme level.
This was not rebirth contained in death.
Instead, it was the pure Dao of Death.
It was too extreme.
Boom!!!
You Tianling waved her right hand. In an instant, the Dao of Death spread and transformed into an extremely withered aura that enveloped Yang Li. His sword slashed down, and the aura evolved by the Dao of Death was destroyed.
In another instant, You Tianling, Yang Li, and Woodius, the three of them disappeared from the spot. After a few exchanges, the surrounding space collapsed, and various obliteration-like storms spread.
This battle was truly terrifying.
Dao runes interwoven and collided. Light fog spread out, and waves of light blossomed and spread. A scene of the heavens and the earth collapsing appeared, and the spiritual qi of the heavens and the earth raised an energy storm.
It was too terrifying.
The world around the Myriad Ghost Cave shook violently.
“Is this the strength of a Sect Master?”
Qi Ming watched this battle and had an extremely deep understanding of the combat strength of the Sect Master level, “As expected, it has far exceeded the Dao Integration realm. Even the battle of the Grand Elders is far inferior.”
It was not only Qi Ming.
Everyone, including the ghostly cultivators, all the underground demons, and the chaotic ghosts in the Myriad Ghost Cave were shocked by this battle scene.
At this moment, in the deepest depths of the Myriad Ghost Cave, there were super ghosts sleeping here. These super ghosts had existed for a very long time and had existed for tens of thousands of years.
Ghosts were part of the Ghost Race.
Because of the corrosion of the Nine Nether Qi, ghosts had lost their spirituality. They were in a chaotic state of mind and would only stay near the Nine Nether Qi.
Normally speaking, ghosts would instinctively attack and kill any living being that approached them.
Ghosts also had lifespans.
Their lifespan was the lifespan of their souls.
In addition, there were mainly two methods to produce ghosts.
The first method was to nurture them through the Nine Nether.
Under various circumstances, this kind of ghost was nurtured and born by Nine Nether. It had innate potential, and every one of them had extremely high potential. They could have a future. Although they were in a chaotic state, they were controlled by the Nine Nether Will. They could be called Connate Ghosts, Heaven and Earth Ghosts, or Nine Nether Ghosts.
As for the second method, naturally, ghosts and the like could be corroded by the Nine Nether Qi and gradually turn into chaotic ghosts. The ghosts formed in this situation were many and varied. There were too many uncertainties.
Therefore, the Nine Nether was the world of ghosts. Even the Ghost Race did not dare to easily enter the Nine Nether because its existence was a taboo.
Rumble!!!
The Myriad Ghost Cave shook, and the source of the tremble spread from the deepest depths of the cave.
This was the opening of the Nine Nether Gate.
The vast Nine Nether Qi fused with the gray fog ghost qi and formed a thick black fog that gradually spread out from the deepest part of the Myriad Ghost Cave.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Countless ghost roars sounded. They were incomparably ear-piercing, shaking everyone’s Essence Soul and souls.
“Oh no.”
Daoist Purple Firmament’s expression changed slightly, “The battle between the Sect Master and the others is too intense. It shook the heaven and earth of the Myriad Ghost Cave. This fluctuation alarmed Nine Nether.”
“The Nine Nether Gate has been opened.”
“Something happened.”
“The Nine Nether Gate was actually opened at this moment.”
“Hurry.”
“Everyone, retreat immediately and leave the range of the Myriad Ghost Cave. You must not be enveloped by this Nine Nether Black Mist. Retreat immediately and escape.”
The nine Grand Elders shouted.
“Nine Nether Gate.”
Qi Ming’s gaze darkened. He looked at the deepest part of the black fog and seemed to vaguely see a faint huge door.
In the door, even the expressions of many living beings changed.
Suddenly, at this moment, a black shadow tore through the air from the faintly discernible Nine Nether Gate. This black shadow was truly too fast, swift to the limit.
At that moment, it had already rushed in front of Qi Ming.
This black shadow was extremely clear.
It had come for Qi Ming.
