Chapter 401

"I will leave my child in your care! Please, take care of her!" The phoenix said as she gradually disappeared, the Fire Phoenix Tree was slowly disintegrating along with the disappearance of the Phantom shadow.

The little phoenix was immediately awoken as she sensed that the tree that held her body was disintegrating.

She quickly stood, but she wobbled and almost fell to the ground due to her current condition, she chirped to the tree, and her eyes were filled with tears.

Yi Tianyun, understood as the Fire Phoenix Tree, has been a mother figure to this little phoenix.

"Goodbye, my child!" The phoenix phantom shadow said to the little phoenix.

Yi Tianyun immediately sighed and tried to comfort the little phoenix.

But the little phoenix immediately pecked Yi Tianyun's hands and turned hostile.

But Yi Tianyun wasn't mad about the little phoenix's rude behavior, it just lost its mother!

So, Yi Tianyun immediately pulled out the Immortal Flames and let the little phoenix basked in its aura.

"Look, I will do you no harm! Your mother has told me everything I need to know about you, and she also told me to take care of you, this is what your mother left me." Yi Tianyun said with a warm smile on his face.

The little phoenix immediately calmed down after feeling the aura from the Immortal Flame, and Yi Tianyun immediately used this opportunity to hug the little phoenix and stroke her feather.

Yi Tianyun immediately noticed that the little phoenix enjoyed his gentle approach, as it may have been lonely this whole time.

Yi Tianyun also took out some medicinal pills to strengthen spiritual power and gave it to the little phoenix.

Smelling the medicinal fragrance from the pill, the little phoenix chowed down the pills without a fuzz.

"Your cultivation is too low! I will refine an advanced level Body Refinement Pill for you next time!" Yi Tianyun said as he petted the little phoenix a little.

Yi Tianyun couldn't give anything else to the little phoenix at the moment as the phoenix's cultivation level was indeed a bit too low. If he forced the phoenix to eat more medicinal pills, the phoenix might get sick!

The little phoenix happily bounced to Yi Tianyun's arm as its favorability increased after seeing the Immortal Flame aura and being fed by Yi Tianyun.

"Now, little one, you have to enter my pet bar for a while, I am afraid that you might get injured outside!" Yi Tianyun said affectionately.

The little phoenix didn't seem to mind, and therefore, Yi Tianyun immediately put the phoenix inside his Pet Bar.

"Great, now it is time to leave!" Yi Tianyun said as he walked toward the hole once again.

But as he got close to the hole, an explosion suddenly happened in the back of the room.

"I finally destroyed the Great Array that protected this place! I swear there must be treasure here!" A voice shouted excitedly.

"Yeah, I found a Phoenix Crystal nearby, there must be a phoenix here!" another voice was heard among the rubble.

A few figures immediately entered the cave with curiosity on their face, but they soon saw Yi Tianyun standing in the opposite direction as them, surprising them completely.

Yi Tianyun noticed that one of them was Xu Jian, one of the people he met inside the Coiling Dragon Cave!

"You again?" Xu Jian said angrily.

Yi Tianyun on the side was relieved that he got to the little phoenix first. Otherwise, the little phoenix would be taken away and probably sold to an auction!

"Long time no see, how are you doing? You are from the Coiling Dragon Cave, right?" Yi Tianyun said casually.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the two other people who came with Xu Jian had pretty high cultivation, while the highest was at the 6th Level Core Transformation Stage!

"Do you know this guy?" Liao Yunguang asked Xu Jian curiously.

"He is the guy that beat Big Brother Liao inside the Coiling Dragon Cave earlier! He was the bastard that beat up your younger brother!" Xu Jian said towards Liao Yunguang.

"So, he was the guy who was brave enough to stand against the Liao Family!" Liao Yunguang said coldly.

Yi Tianyun just shrugged his shoulders indifferently as he didn't even consider these guys as a threat!

Chapter 402

Xu Jian was with Core Transformation Expert, but they weren't a challenge to Yi Tianyun. Because of that, Yi Tianyun couldn't take them seriously.

"So, what would you do? If you ask me, I suggest that you leave and just forget about everything!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Everything will come with a price, and I am afraid you wouldn't like any of it!" Yi Tianyun said, adding his threat even more.

"I agree, everything surely comes with a price! And it's due time for you to pay back what you have done!" Liao Yunguang said coldly.

"Big words for a small person, no?" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly.

"How dare you! I will break your leg myself!" Liao Yunguang said while releasing his aura.

"Big Brother Liao, please wait! We should ask about the treasure inside this place first! We still don't know what is in this place!" Xu Jian said with a whisper.

Liao Yunguang immediately realized that their goal was none other than finding a treasure from this place, and they must know about it first!

Yi Tianyun heard them whispering and immediately sighed?

"Did you believe this place would have a treasure? You can look around! This place was barren!" Yi Tianyun said toward Xu Jian.

"Look around all you want, but I have to go now!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

As he walked toward the exit, the three of them immediately surrounded Yi Tianyun.

"Not so fast! If you want to leave, you must hand over the treasure first! You will not be able to fool us! There is no way a place hidden inside a Great Array would be barren!" Xu Jian said while sneering towards Yi Tianyun.

"A great array surely makes it seem like this place had some treasure in it, but if you don't believe me, you could search this place for any trace of treasure." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"We don't believe you! You better hand the treasure you found to us right now, or your life will end today!" Xu Jian said coldly, he was confident as he thought that Liao Yunguang could deal with Yi Tianyun. Otherwise, he knew that he wouldn't be able to deal with Yi Tianyun alone!

Yi Tianyun felt annoyed as he really wasn't in the mood to deal with these guys.

"You're really pulling my leg over here! If you don't leave me alone, don't regret what happened to you later!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

"Stop boasting! You don't hold a candle to Big Brother Liao here!" Xu Jian said to Yi Tianyun.

"Big Brother, it seems that he doesn't want to cooperate, maybe we have to force him a little!" Xu Jian said with a smirk to Liao Yunguang.

"It's boring if I'm the one doing it, he'll die instantly! Let's play a little, Ji Long, you go first!" Liao Yunguang said to the other guy in their group. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮

"Yes, Big Brother!" Ji Long said excitedly. Ji Long was at the 2nd?Level Core Transformation Stage, which was too far from Yi Tianyun's cultivation!

Ji Long immediately pulled out a Tiger Claw and immediately grabbed Yi Tianyun and threw him to the air. He immediately jumped into the air and turned into a real tiger while aiming his claws at Yi Tianyun's head. His intimidating aura filled the air.

Yi Tianyun sighed again in the air, as he couldn't seem to solve anything in peace. He immediately kicked Ji Long in the air, and the force from his kick immediately sent Ji Long flying to the wall!

After Ji Long fell to the ground, his body was completely still, dead!

"Now, who's next?" Yi Tianyun asked indifferently.

Yi Tianyun was calm, He emitted no aura nor his killing intent, but Xu Jian started to realize that Yi Tianyun was more than they could chew!

Xu Jian immediately ran toward Ji Long to check his condition, and was immediately shocked to see that Ji Long was dead!

How could he die just after one hit?

A sense of fear and danger immediately enveloped him!

"Big Brother Liao, Big Brother Ji is dead!" Xu Jian shouted nervously.

"You really want to die, you brat!" Liao Yunguang shouted at Yi Tianyun in a fury.

"I already warned you not to provoke me, didn't I?" Yi Tianyun said while shrugging his shoulders.

Chapter 403

"Now, you have done it! I will kill you for what you have done!" Liao Yunguang said coldly.

"Well, it's good if you have the power to do so! But sadly, you lack power!" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly.

"You will see power when I am done with you!" Liao Yunguang said furiously.

"Xu Jian, let's attack him together!" Liao Yunguang said confidently.

"Two against one? Not fair!" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

Liao Yunguang and Xu Jian immediately released their aura simultaneously.

"There is nothing fair on the battlefield, brat! You better learn about it in the afterlife!" Liao Yunguang said as he pulled out his weapon for himself.

"Then I better get a helper for myself too!" Yi Tianyun said playfully as he summoned the Red and Black Dragon at the same time.

The dragons immediately filled the room with their powerful aura, shocking both Liao Yunguang and Xu Jian.

These two dragons were a level higher than Liao Yunguang and thus made both of Yi Tianyun's current opponents tremble in fear.

"Divine Beasts?" Xu Jian said in shock, his feeling was correct! 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Yi Tianyun wasn't someone they could fight!

"Now, there are two of you and two of my dragons. The battle becomes fair in a sense, no?" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

Liao Yunguang was left speechless as he didn't know what to do, and so he immediately ran away, followed by Xu Jian right behind him. But Yi Tianyun wouldn't let this stand, and therefore ordered the dragons to bring the two of them back!

The dragons immediately obeyed and flew toward the retreating Liao Yunguang and Xu Jian.

The dragons then coiled their tail like a snake to capture Liao Yunguang and Xu Jian, but the strong tail also broke some of their bones, injuring them to the point that they couldn't move freely any longer.

The dragons then released them in front of Yi Tianyun.

"Where did you want to go? Our games were just about to start, no?" Yi Tianyun said with a smirk on his face.

"I am sorry, please let me go Big Brother! I swear I will make sure my younger brother reflects on his rude behavior toward you later!" Liao Yunguang said nervously. He didn't want to die, at least not now, and because of such a trivial mistake!𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

"Why would I do that? Didn't you say that you will kill me earlier?" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

Knowing that he couldn't escape Yi Tianyun's grip without a fight, Liao Yunguang immediately descended into rage, "Then I will kill you as you wanted!"

He said as he released all of his aura, but Yi Tianyun only smirked at Liao Yunguang as he was amused at Liao Yunguang's struggle.

Yi Tianyun raised his hand towards Liao Yunguang and immediately interfered with Liao Yunguang's power release, making Liao Yunguang feel the strong feedback of Spiritual Energy failure.

Yi Tianyun also tossed a small immortal flame towards Liao Yunguang's hands, although the flame was small, the effect immediately showed itself!

Liao Yunguang screamed as the fire immediately burned his arm, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't extinguish the flame!

He rolled on the ground, extinguished it with sand, even tapped it off with his shirt, but nothing worked!

He immediately remembered the water hole inside the cave and jumped into the water to put it off. But after a while, he floated completely out of life!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Liao Yunguang!'

'Reward: 390.000 Exp, 4.600 Cps, 150 Sps, Rupture Palm Martial Art, Sweep Divine Leg Technique, Recovery Medicinal Pill, 10.000 Exp Pill, 5x Exp Card.'

Yi Tianyun was satisfied with the flames' power after it was leveled up, the immortal flame could even burn a 6th Level Core Transformation Expert with ease!

On the side, Xu Jian trembled on the ground, while looking at Yi Tianyun frightenedly.

"Don't kill me please! I will do anything you want! I will never betray you!" Xu Jian said while kneeling in front of Yi Tianyun.

"And why would I do that?" Yi Tianyun asked coldly.

"I know, I found a Phoenix Crystal nearby, there must be a phoenix around here!" Xu Jian said nervously.

"You mean this beauty? I already found it! I don't need your help with that!" Yi Tianyun said as he summoned the small baby phoenix.

"How could this be!" Xu Jian said in disbelief, not only Yi Tianyun had two dragons with him, he also had a phoenix! That was simply enchanting!

Chapter 404

Xu Jian was left speechless! He didn't have anything to offer as he thought that information about a phoenix would be enough to set him free.

"Please, I beg you! Please spare me! I will never cause trouble for you again!" Xu Jian said pleadingly. 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

"Do you really think that I would believe anything you said?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

"You know, I can't let anyone know about this phoenix, and the best person to keep a secret is a dead one!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Yi Tianyun then de-summoned all his tamed beasts and immediately burned Xu Jian to ashes with his Immortal Flame!

After killing Xu Jian, Yi Tianyun sighed in relief and immediately searched for the storage ring left behind by the three idiots!

"Well, today was a great haul! I will definitely raise this phoenix for Aunt later!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly as he flew back toward the imperial city.

…

"Brother, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere!" Ren Zhirou said worriedly.

"But well, I see that you are safe and sound, so save the story for later, you need to go to Brother Long's location, he has something for you!" Ren Zhirou said excitedly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and immediately followed Ren Zhirou to the hall inside the palace.

Yi Tianyun noticed that many people had gathered in the hall, and it seemed that these people were those who supported Ren Long as their emperor!

These people were of high nobility, and therefore they had some sort of power within the Empire.

Yi Tianyun noticed that Hua Xiying was one of these people, but as she was surprised to see Yi Tianyun, the rest of the general, family representatives and ministers of the Heavenly Dragon that gathered in the hall were looking at Yi Tianyun in annoyance.

"What is this brat doing here?" A man said, stating his annoyance.

A murmur was immediately heard throughout the hall, as so many of the people gathered here didn't like the idea of Yi Tianyun attending the announcement!

"Brother Ren, what is going on? Why am I here?" Yi Tianyun asked Ren Long curiously.

"Where have you been? Zhirou couldn't seem to find you anywhere!" Ren Long said with a smile.

"Let's save It for another time, brother, but I didn't expect to be here, so do others!" Yi Tianyun said with a slight embarrassment on his face.

"I want you all to see this young man in front of you! I want you to respect him like you respected my family and me! He is officially my brother now, and therefore he was the prince of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!" Ren Long said excitedly.

The entire hall fell silent as the announcement really surprised everyone inside.

"What? What are you talking about? Great Emperor! You couldn't decide something like that on a whim!" A minister said, stating his objection.

The entire place began to get noisy, as everyone also stated their objection.

"Great Emperor, we wouldn't object to your decision to make him your brother, but we couldn't agree with your decision to make him the prince, as you may know, we don't know him yet, we can't entrust a total stranger to control the Imperial City to his liking!" Minister Xu said worriedly.

Minister Xu was the father of Xu Fei, and therefore Yi Tianyun could see the similarity between the two.

"Then what would you suggest?" Ren Long asked curiously.

"He should start by earning our trust, let him build his own reputation worthy of the title Prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire! Furthermore, he must have the necessary strength and power to be the prince!" Minister Xu said wisely.

Almost everyone agreed with Minister Xu's words.

"Isn't it enough that he saved me when I was trapped inside the Coiling Dragon cave?" Ren Long asked curiously.

"I am sorry Great Emperor, but that is not enough! A guard also saved Princess Zhirou on several occasions, but we don't see them become the princess' consort for that!" Another minister said confidently.

However, everyone was a little bit surprised to hear that Yi Tianyun was the one who saved Ren Long from the Dangerous Area!

"Brother, show them the power you got earlier!" Ren Zhirou said after signing a little bit.

Yi Tianyun shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly stepped forward, he immediately created a shield around himself, stunning everyone once more!

This shield was part of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure's power, which means, if Yi Tianyun could control it, it was the same as being a great emperor or being the next heir!

On the side, Ren Zhirou chuckled to see Ren Long, and the rest of the people inside the hall were shocked beyond belief!

Chapter 405

"You can control the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure?" Ren Long said in disbelief.

"Well, I thought Zhirou already told you that, I am sorry to surprise you like this!" Yi Tianyun said sincerely. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Sister, you really are…" Ren Long said while sighing.

"I am sorry, big brother, I don't expect to reveal Big Brother Yi's power like this either, but I was a little bit annoyed that they questioned Big Brother Yi!" Ren Zhirou said while puffing her cheek cutely to her brother.

But Ren Zhirou was smart, she knew that if Yi Tianyun's capability to control the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure was announced, there would be no problem for him to be the new prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire!

"So, Little Brother Yi, would you like to become the Prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire?" Ren Long asked Yi Tianyun with a big smile on his face.

"That would be an honor, Big Brother Ren!" Yi Tianyun said as he bowed his head a little to show respect to Ren Long.

"From today onward, Little Brother Yi will become the Prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire. see to it that a new palace will be built for Little Brother Yi's residence in the north of Heavenly Dragon Imperial City!" Ren Long said commandingly.

"Right away, Emperor! Long live Prince Yi!" Everyone in the room said as they began to chant Yi Tianyun's name.

"Now that we have Prince Yi to help control the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, we don't have to worry about Prime Minister Long's attack. With the three of us controlling the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, the Imperial City would be invincible!" Ren Long said confidently.

"Are you sure the Prime Minister would attack? Why would he do this? Isn't he the Emperor's uncle?" One of the ministers asked as he couldn't comprehend Prime Minister Long's goal.

"Yeah, there is no way he would collude with the Netherworld Empire too, right? He has already killed so many of the Netherworld Empire's soldiers!" Another minister said, stating his concern.

"You all know that Feng Long Brothers were under the direct supervision of Prime Minister Long, and they are the one who entrapped me inside the Coiling Dragon Cave, this knowledge is enough to give him a death penalty! The law can't be broken only because he is my uncle. If he betrayed the Heavenly Dragon Empire, then death is the only thing that he deserved!" Ren Long said confidently.

When everyone still had so many questions, a guard suddenly rushed inside the hall.

"I am sorry to interrupt, My Emperor! Prime Minister Long and Netherworld Imperial Preceptor are already on their way toward the Imperial City!" The guard reported.

Everyone was surprised to hear that the Netherworld Imperial Preceptor was also in the mix to attack the Imperial City.

"The Imperial Preceptor? Are you sure about this?" Ren Long asked for confirmation.

"There is no mistake, My Lord! The flag of the preceptor and the Netherworld Empire's flag was there between Prime Minister Long's flag!" The Guard said confidently.

"That is all we need to know! Prepare for battle!" Ren Long said commandingly.

"Right Away, Emperor Ren!" All the people gathered in the hall shouted simultaneously.

They were exasperated to find out that Prime Minister Long really betrayed them, at first, they hoped that all the accusations directed to the Prime Minister were all just a false accusation!

"We will intercept them at the city gate!" Ren Long said as he commanded his troop to wait for the enemy at the city gate.

Yi Tianyun and Ren Zhirou flew toward the City Gate together, and they saw the enemy from afar, they saw that the enemy was like a group of black ants, swarming toward the city.

"Activate the Heavenly Dragon Great Array!" Ren Long shouted as he used the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure and covered the entire city with a shield.

"Little Brother Yi, I will deal with these rebels, I sure hope it won't turn out like this, but if it's okay with you, I would like your help one more time!" Ren Long said sincerely.

"Big Brother! Have you forgotten about me?" Ren Zhirou interrupted their conversation.

"Of course not, but Little Brother Yi is new to the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and he was forced to deal with this nonsense! I just hope we don't disappoint him too much! And furthermore, if the Imperial City was taken over, I want you to escape with Little Brother Yi!" Ren Long said to Ren Zhirou.

"Don't you think it's a tad too early to say anything about losing?" Yi Tianyun said excitedly that all that he saw in front of him was a large amount of Exp!

Chapter 406

Even though the enemy was far more superior in term of power than the army of Heavenly Dragon, Yi Tianyun didn't show any fear, for he could control The Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure and if he got a ton of Exp after killing those enemies, even Imperial Preceptor would be no match for him!

"You are right! It's too early to talk about losing! We should let them know that Our Heavenly Dragon Empire is not to be taken lightly!" Ren Long said as he gained new confidence.

Yi Tianyun knew that Ren Long's cultivation had dropped severely, but he couldn't help him at the moment, as he knew that even if he gave the Blood Jade to Ren Long, he wouldn't be able to constitute his cultivation now.𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

So, Yi Tianyun immediately checked the enemy ranks with his Appraisal Eye, but he didn't see any Void Spirit Expert beside the three enemy Leaders! 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎

That was a little bit disappointing as he didn't get the chance to fight that many strong opponents, but surely 3 Void Spirit Expert were enough!

The first one was, of course, Prime Minister Long, and the second one was Divine General Long Tian, and the last one and the strongest of those three was the Imperial Preceptor himself, which already gave a chilling aura to the Heavenly Dragon Empire's ranks.

The enemy's cultivation was fairly strong, especially the Imperial Preceptor, but Yi Tianyun was sure that he could deal with them at some point.

The Minister and General's cultivation wasn't bad either, they were at Core Transformation rank expert, and the lowest soldier was at Spirit Refinement rank!

Although the soldiers had low cultivation, they made up for it with their large number!

But, as soon as Prime Minister Long had closed into the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City gate, he stopped.

"Long time no see nephew! I thought you were dead!" Prime Minister Long said tauntingly.

"Relax uncle, I will not die just from something that trivial." Ren Long said, taunting back.

"But, my first decree after I took the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Emperor seat back was to remove you from your position as Prime Minister of Heavenly Dragon Empire, and you will be given the death penalty right away for your betrayal towards the Empire and collusion with the Netherworld Empire!" Ren Long said commandingly.

"I am sorry, should I care? I would become the new Heavenly Dragon Emperor after I killed you!" Prime Minister Long said coldly.

"I should've become the Emperor when your dad left, but because of that stupid Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, I couldn't become the new Emperor! What a joke!" Prime Minister Long said coldly.

"I'm well aware that it's a bit unfair for you! But becoming the Prime Minister should've already compensated for that! But you still choose to betray us and collude with the Netherworld Empire of all people!" Ren Long said furiously.

"A Prime Minister is not the same as an Emperor! I am much stronger than you, this is all because I didn't absorb much of that Dragon Essence! I will kill you and absorb your dragon essence so that I will be able to control that damned secret treasure too!" Prime Minister Long said angrily.

"You know, the problem isn't because you didn't have enough Dragon Essence in you, but your corrupted heart! Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure is a Divine Tool grade item, and therefore it's quite sensible on choosing its master. I believe if you were to become the Emperor at that time, maybe you'd have already sold the Heavenly Dragon Empire to the Netherworld Empire, right?" Yi Tianyun said as he interrupted Prime Minister Long and Ren Long's conversation.

Everyone was shocked by Yi Tianyun's words. If that was true, then it meant Prime Minister Long had long become the spy for the Netherworld Empire!

Chapter 407

Yi Tianyun's voice wasn't loud, but as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but listen!𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As everyone was surprised by his words, some of them began to wonder if there was some sort of magic inside the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure to recognize a traitor!

But in fact, this was all just Yi Tianyun's nonsense, he said all this because he had already noticed the Netherworld Divine Palm and Netherworld Divine Art were listed on Prime Minister Long's data when he looked at him using Appraisal Eye earlier.

There was no way he could master them both in such a short amount of time!

He must've been colluding with the Netherworld Empire a long time ago!

"And who are you again, brat?" Prime Minister Long asked coldly.

"My identity is not important to you, for you are just a lowlife spy from the Netherworld Empire! From the beginning, letting you stay inside the Heavenly Dragon Empire was a mistake!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Prime Minister Long showed some fear after hearing Yi Tianyun's words, he knew that everyone on the Imperial City side would condemn him as they heard it.

Even if he was able to seize the Imperial City, he wouldn't be able to keep it for long, as he knew that there would be resistance later.

"It's not the truth! The Ren Family has always treated me unfairly. I just had enough! They're always selected by that stupid Secret Treasure, not because of their capabilities but because of their stupid bloodline!" Prime Minister Long said, trying to defuse the anger towards him.

So many eyes from each side brightened as they heard Prime Minister Long's words, they knew that the Ren Family had always been in power, but was it something bad?

"You are the one who talks nonsense! I admit that my ability is still below you, but that is because I am still young! You've already experienced a lot of things and cultivated much longer than I did, but in the end, there's not that much of a gap between us despite your years of cultivation, which means I have better innate ability than you do! And just in case you may ask the minister who stands beside me, did Ren Family treat them unfairly?" Ren Long said furiously.

Hua Family Lord nodded his head as he didn't remember ever being treated badly by the Ren Family, in fact, all he remembered was the good times when he served Ren Family, of course, there was punishment, but it was clearly in accordance with the law, there'd be no punishment for those who were innocent!

"As for the Great Emperor position, it is not for us to decide. It is all decided by the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure because no one in this country wants to be governed by someone who can't control the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, doesn't it? The ancestors had already thought about this, so it is not out of our stubbornness! In fact, the former emperor, my father, had already said that your ambition was too big!" Ren Long said while looking at Prime Minister Long with pity.

"So, if I never did any of this, would you give the throne to me?" Prime Minister Long said with a sneer.

"Of course, I would never want to be a Great Emperor, knowing that the empire was better off in someone else's hand! I didn't even want the Netherworld Empire Fisherman Point's profit!" Ren Long said confidently.

Ren Long's word shocked everyone; they didn't expect the Great Emperor to willingly give up his position if a peaceful way was an option!

The general and minister serving Prime Minister Long were also surprised to hear Ren Long's words!

Prime Minister Long's complexion changed because of Ren Long's words; he only wanted to steer public opinion against Ren Long, but now it was biting him back!

"Brother Long, why bother talking with them! Just get this over with already!" Imperial Preceptor said coldly. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"Yeah, you are right! It seems that I have been here for too long, I must have become soft because of that! Let us end the Ren Family once and for all!" Prime Minister Long said with a sneer.

But suddenly an extremely cold light shot throughout the field towards Prime Minister Long and Imperial Preceptor's rank. It was so fast that Prime Minister Long was reacting to it a little bit too late, but fortunately, the Imperial Preceptor was quick on his feet!

He immediately waved his flag, and a great defensive array was instantly created.

The great defensive array exploded as it was hit by the cold light.

Everyone in their ranks was too late to respond, resulting in the death of several generals near Prime Minister Long.

They were all frozen to death!

Chapter 408

While everyone was immersed in listening to Rent Long and Prime Minister Long's conversation, Yi Tianyun had had enough, so he began to attack the enemy immediately!

"What is this! Who the hell is that brat!" The Imperial Preceptor said annoyedly.

He never expected that the Heavenly Dragon Empire had an expert of that caliber, he even released the defensive power of the flag on his hands, but couldn't fully contain that attack!

"I don't know, this is also the first time that I saw him!" Prime Minister Long said curiously.

"I think we better start with him first!" The Prime Minister said as he pointed his finger toward Yi Tianyun.

With that, the soldiers of Prime Minister Long and the Netherworld Empire began to scream and rush toward Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.

"Archer group, prepare your arrow! Be ready to shoot them down!" Ren Long shouted to the marksman.

The groups of archers immediately shouted in agreement and began to shoot the enemy from afar.

The sky was immediately covered with a barrage of arrows, raining down on the enemy!

But the enemy didn't cower, they began to block the incoming arrow, but many of them couldn't block it and fell victim to the raining arrow!

The battlefield was immediately covered with blood as the enemies fell one after another.

"Zhirou, let's go!" Ren Long said to Ren Zhirou to join the battle.

He began to attack as he activated the power of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure and summoned a 30 meters tall heavenly dragon.

The dragon began to rush toward the enemy and attacked.

Ren Zhirou also activated the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure at the same time, but her cultivation was a little lower than her brother. Thus her dragon was a tad smaller than her brother's!

But nonetheless, it was still deadly!

The two dragons began to attack the enemy units and killed many of them who got close.

These two dragons were quite powerful, as Ren Long's dragon was at 7th Level Core Transformation Stage, while Ren Zhirou was at 3rd Level Core Transformation stage!

That was the power of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure. Once a person was recognized as its master, they would be able to use its power, although another master was using its power too.

The enemy soldier began to scatter as they tried to avoid the two dragons, these dragons summoned by the power of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure were a little bit unique as they couldn't die or even take any damage as long as the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure wasn't destroyed or the person who summoned the dragon wasn't killed!

"Did they think these two bugs would halt our progress? How impudent!" Imperial Preceptor said as he immediately threw his flag to the sky, and suddenly it split into six parts and separated into two groups and headed towards Ren Long and Ren Zhirou's dragon.

The flags immediately surrounded each dragon, and a circle of light immediately appeared and trapped the dragons inside!

While they will not be destroyed easily, that didn't mean that they couldn't be trapped! 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

Furthermore, if these dragons weren't destroyed, Ren Long and Ren Zhirou couldn't summon another one!

"You two thought that you could do anything you wanted as long as you had these two dragons, didn't you? But sadly, your time is up. I will be the one to control those dragons as soon as I absorb your dragon essence!" The Prime Minister said with a sneer.

"This is bad! The Imperial Preceptor was fully prepared to fight against our dragons, he came with the Descending Dragons Banner!" Ren Long said worriedly.

"Relax, let's see what he would do if another dragon comes attacking their ranks!" Yi Tianyun said as he activated the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure himself!

A huge dragon immediately appeared, and this one gave off a powerful aura of the 1st Level Void Spirit Stage!

Surprising everyone on the battlefield.

Chapter 409

Everyone was shocked to see the appearance of another dragon, and the most shocking thing was the fact that this dragon was far more powerful than the previous two!

The dragon immediately rushed towards enemy ranks and started to kill them with his breath attack.

The terrifying blast successfully killed many enemies, especially the lower cultivation of the enemy!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Spirit Core General!'

'Reward: 230.000 Exp, 93.000 Cps, 150 Sps, Violent Dragon Chop Martial Art, Flying to the Heavens Technique, Recovery Medicinal Pill, Spirit Breakthrough Pill.'

'DING'

'Successfully …'

…

The Heavenly Dragon that Yi Tianyun had summoned was killing the enemy like a child throwing a tantrum! 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

But fortunately, Yi Tianyun had activated all the Exp Cards that he had beforehand, maximizing the exp he earned. He had activated a 30x Exp Card, 20x Exp Card, 10x Exp Card, and 5x Exp Card, making his Exp reward 65 times more than normal, and that was still excluding Crazy Mode!

He also activated the 3x Cp Card and 2x Sp Card, so that he also got more Crazy Points and Sin Points than normal!

"How could this happen? Where did this dragon come from?" Imperial Preceptor said with shock still fresh on his face. He then looked over to Ren Long, Ren Zhirou, and Yi Tianyun, and he immediately thought that Yi Tianyun must be the one summoning this dragon.

At the same time, Ren Long was still in awe of the Dragon that Yi Tianyun had summoned, it was far stronger than his own dragon!

In fact, all soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Empire looked at the dragon in such awe that they began to see Yi Tianyun with even more respect!

The soldier's morale began to rise as they saw that the new Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Empire was so strong!

They began to fight more valiantly and thus made them look stronger!

The enemy was startled by this change and failed to react in time when the Heavenly Dragon Empire's soldier's charged!

At the same time, Divine General Long Tian screamed and attacked Yi Tianyun's Heavenly Dragon with his strongest attack, successfully splitting the dragon in half, but this attack was in vain as the dragon immediately recovered itself and began to attack once more.

"Imperial Preceptor! We need your help with this!" Divine General Long Tian shouted desperately.

The Imperial Preceptor gritted his teeth as his flag could only suppress two dragons at a time, but he knew that Yi Tianyun's dragon was far more aggressive than the other two and therefore needed to be restrained the most!

"Fine! I will take care of that one. You guys deal with these other two dragons!" Imperial Preceptor said as he released the two dragons that he previously captured and moved toward Yi Tianyun's dragon. He immediately used the whole flag to restrain Yi Tianyun's dragon, he knew that only half of the flag wouldn't be enough to restrain such a powerful dragon!

Unfortunately, after the other two dragons were free, they were held at bay by some strong cultivators as they weren't as powerful as Yi Tianyun's dragon!

"Prince Yi, it seems we have to join the war ourselves now!" Ren Long said with confidence.

"Not yet! I still have something else for them!" Yi Tianyun said as he leaped forward and summoned a bunch of Earth Dragons, the Red Dragon, and the Black Dragon at the same time!

"He is a Beast Tamer!" The enemy shouted as they began to panic after seeing a large number of dragons.

It was such a terrifying sight for them as they've never seen this many dragons in one place before!

Chapter 410

The most voted novel would get five bonus chapters in the next month.

The Imperial Preceptor was shocked when he saw that General Long's Dragon Legion was in the enemy's hand!

And furthermore, how could a beast tamer control so many dragons at the same time!

This was supposed to be impossible!

In the meantime, the dragons kept killing the enemy one after another as there were only three people who could deal with those dragons because they were in the Void Spirit Stage!

…

"Brother Yi, are you a beast tamer?" Ren Zhirou asked in awe.

"Yeah, but I can't keep them up that long, we need to help!" Yi Tianyun said as he began to advance toward the enemy.

The other Soldier who was staying behind also began to advance, following Yi Tianyun's lead.

"How can this be? Not only was he strong enough to fight against me, he's also a beast tamer who can control so many dragons at the same time! Where is this child hiding this entire time? Did Ren Family hide him?" Prime Minister Long said annoyedly.

Yi Tianyun smirked and began to bombard the enemy's rank with his Ice-Cold Divine Bow, forcing the enemy to retreat for a while.

The Heavenly Dragons Empire soldier's morale rose once again, they began to rally toward the enemy. 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"You are really pissing me off! I will make sure you are dead today!" Prime Minister Long yelled irritatedly. He immediately summoned a Heavenly Dragon Phantom Shadow and immediately attacked Yi Tianyun with his full power!

"Heavenly Dragon Battle Roar!" Prime Minister Long shouted as he rushed toward Yi Tianyun with his sword pointed towards Yi Tianyun.

At the same time, Divine General Long Tian was also attacking Yi Tianyun with all his might, but this time he chose to sneak attack Yi Tianyun!

Ren Long and Ren Zhirou were surprised by Divine General Long Tian's attack, they wanted to help Yi Tianyun, but they were too late!

Divine General Long Tian's attack was too sudden for them to react!

"Die, brat!" Divine General Long Tian shouted as he got close to Yi Tianyun.

But Yi Tianyun could react to his attack in time and quickly grabbed Divine General Long Tian's sword with his bare hand and smirked toward Divine General Long Tian tauntingly.

"You are too weak! Not even Army General Feng can injure me, you know!" Yi Tianyun said tauntingly.

Yi Tianyun then quickly pulled the sword and grabbed Divine General Long Tian's shoulder, startling Divine General Long Tian completely and threw him towards Prime Minister Long's attack that was aimed toward Yi Tianyun!

Divine General Long Tian immediately fell to the ground, covered with blood, but it was not over just yet! Yi Tianyun immediately flew toward Divine General Long Tian's position and quickly stabbed Divine General Long Tian's heart with a long sword that he took from Divine General Long Tian earlier!

"You are too weak, practice some more in your next life, you traitor!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

He then proceeded to burn Divine General Long Tian with his Immortal Flame, burning him to cinders!

'DING'

'Successfully killed Divine General Long Tian!'

'Reward: 36.000.000 Exp, 15.000 Cps, 1.000 Sps, Descending Demon Sword Secret Art, Dragon God Bloodline (4th Grade), Dragon Divine Sword.'

The explosion of Experience that Yi Tianyun has gotten was much appreciated, he now only needed a little bit more to level up! He wanted to kill stronger enemies so as not to waste the time limit of his Exp Card!

"One down, two to go!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked towards Prime Minister Long.

Chapter 411

Was he fighting against two people at once? It wasn't fair, but there was hardly anything fair on a battlefield! With his Evil Dragon Suit, Yi Tianyun has confidence that he would be able to block any of the Void Spirit's attacks, as it increased his Defensive Power by 20 times!

While the soldiers from both sides were shocked to see Yi Tianyun's explosive power, the battle still ensued. Even though Prime Minister Long had lost his General, he still pushed through relentlessly! Yi Tianyun's dragon army kept killing the enemy's soldiers everywhere, which made the Heavenly Dragon's side have a much easier time in the war!

Yi Tianyun felt satisfied as he got so many Exp, Cps, and the most important thing to have new overpowered equipment, the Sin Points!

Ren Long on the side also felt motivated and quickly joined the battle as well, even though he couldn't fight against Prime Minister Long or the Imperial Preceptor, he could still fight against the soldiers up to the Core Transformation one!

"Wow, 2 v 1 seems unfair! But it's okay with me!" Yi Tianyun sneered at Prime Minister Long while holding the Dragon Divine Sword in his hands.

"How dare you! I will kill you, bastard!" Prime Minister Long said as he gritted his teeth in irritation. He still couldn't believe that Divine General Long Tian was killed easily like that, he was a Void Spirit Expert!

At the same time, the Imperial Preceptor summoned several Divine Runes in the sky, and a big Great Array appeared on top of Yi Tianyun. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Divine Thunder!" The Imperial Preceptor shouted coldly.

Yi Tianyun smirked as he knew that a thunder attributed attack wouldn't work on him, he immediately pulled out the Heavenly Thunder Divine Pearl that he got from Old Ancestor Heavenly Thunder of Divine Runes Mansion and absorbed the thunder that the Imperial Preceptor's great array has summoned.

"What!? Where did the thunder go? What did you do?" Imperial Preceptor said, baffled by the scene in front of him.

"Well, I will not take what is not mine! So, here you go, you can have it back!" Yi Tianyun said as he pointed the Heavenly Thunder Divine Pearl toward the Imperial Preceptor and released the stored thunder.

Prime Minister Long was startled as he happened to stand near the Imperial Preceptor, but he wasn't as fast as the Imperial Preceptor, and now he was in the direct path of the thunder!

"Heavenly Dragon Battle Secret Art!" Prime Minister Long shouted, and his body was immediately covered with a thick dragon scale. He immediately screamed, and suddenly a Netherworld Divine Palm immediately appeared to block the incoming thunder.

Everyone was shocked once again as what Yi Tianyun had said earlier was true!

Prime Minister Long was part of the Netherworld Empire for quite a long time!

There was no way that he could master the Netherworld Divine Palm, which was the Netherworld Empire's Martial Art if he hadn't joined the Netherworld Empire that long!

As the Divine Palm collided the thunder, loud noise and dazzling light burst on the skies, turning everyone's attention towards Prime Minister Long and Yi Tianyun.

"That's a Netherworld Divine Palm! You really are a spy from the Netherworld Empire!" Ren Long said furiously. He let Prime Minister Long stay inside the Empire for a long time, he even treated him like a father figure in the past!

But he was a traitor all along, and now all Ren Long felt was just anger!

The soldiers from Heavenly Dragon also felt angry toward Prime Minister Long as they didn't want to believe that he was from the Netherworld Empire all along. Even some of the soldiers on Prime Minister Long's side also showed anger and disappointment toward Prime Minister Long!

Chapter 412

Yi Tianyun smirked as his goal was to expose Prime Minister Long in front of everyone, they surely knew that Prime Minister Long had some kind of relationship with the Netherworld Emperor, but they didn't know how deep his relationship was so that Prime Minister Long's move completely exposed his identity.

The effect was as clear as day, Yi Tianyun could see that some of Prime Minister Long's generals and soldiers were having a second thought of this battle. Some generals even shouted to Prime Minister Long that he was a liar and that they didn't sign up to help the Netherworld Empire!

Some of them began to surrender to Ren Long, saying that they didn't want to fight anymore!

But Prime Minister Long had a completely different thought, he immediately killed those that surrendered immediately!𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

"You are all idiots! Did you think the Heavenly Dragon Empire would accept you back just because you surrendered? You will be killed or imprisoned there! You're better off fighting for me, or else I would be the one killing you myself!" Prime Minister Long said confidently.

The rest of his army looked at him in fear as they didn't want to die, but they also didn't want to fight this battle anymore. They looked over to Ren Long in hopes that he would help them out.

Ren Long noticed this and immediately stepped forward.

"Put down your weapons and surrender back to your empire! I promise you that I will not kill or imprison you for you are tempted by a man that you have trusted for a long time!" Ren Long said charismatically.

Ren Long seized this opportunity to weaken the enemy's morale and reduce their fighting power, but he will keep his word, he will let the enemy surrender, but he will not allow them to serve the empire again, he couldn't accept a traitor to work under him ever again! 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮

Ren Long's words worked like a charm!

Many generals and soldiers from Prime Minister Long's rank surrendered to the Heavenly Dragon Empire and stopped fighting altogether.

Prime Minister Long began to panic as he knew that he was losing the battle.

"Stop! If you surrender, I will kill you right now with my own hands!" Prime Minister Long said nervously.

"How will you plan to do that, if you're going to die right here, right now!" Yi Tianyun said coldly as he used the Ice-Cold Fury towards Prime Minister Long.

As he released the powerful arrow, worth as much as 60 million combat power towards Prime Minister Long, the Ice-Cold Bow cracked, it seemed the bow was no longer able to contain Yi Tianyun's tremendous power!

Prime Minister Long immediately released his aura in full power and immediately used the Netherworld Divine Palm once more, but this time, the powerful arrow shot through the Divine Palm like it was nothing and hit Prime Minister Long directly! Prime Minister Long immediately tried to shake off the large ice that was formed outside of his body, but he immediately realized that the freezing arrow wasn't all there was to it!

"Murdering Dragon Poison? Shit! How dare you do this to me, brat!" Prime Minister Long said as his face became paler.

Yi Tianyun knew that the Ice-Cold Fury wouldn't be able to hold Prime Minister Long down for long, so he used the poison that he got from killing the assassin in the forest earlier. He covered the tip of his arrow with the poison so that once it landed, Prime Minister Long wouldn't be able to regenerate fast enough to join the battle.

But suddenly, the Imperial Preceptor appeared behind Yi Tianyun and was already prepared to attack! But Yi Tianyun wasn't one that could be killed sneakily like this! He instantly teleported to the back of the Imperial Preceptor and immediately impaled the Imperial Preceptor with the Red Dragon Divine Spear!

"You better learn again how to sneak attack on people!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Chapter 413

The Imperial Preceptor was attacked!

Furthermore, it was a sneak attack by Yi Tianyun!

All of the soldiers from both sides were shocked by this fact!

Yi Tianyun continued to drive the Ren Dragon Spear further inside the Imperial Preceptor's body, killing him on the spot!

But unfortunately for Yi Tianyun, this was not the Imperial Preceptor's real body, as the body that Yi Tianyun stabbed turned into a log.

Yi Tianyun was quite surprised as he didn't expect to kill a fake!

"This is why I couldn't detect him properly before. I didn't expect he could use this kind of technique earlier!" Yi Tianyun said as he felt a little bit annoyed by the Imperial Preceptor.𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

At the same time, the Imperial Preceptor was taken aback by Yi Tianyun's technique!

He saw that Yi Tianyun was using teleportation!

Now all of his strategies have gone in the drain as he knew that none of them would work as long as Yi Tianyun had the power to teleport away anywhere he wanted!

But the most unexpecting thing was that Yi Tianyun successfully destroyed his clone. He made the clone with so much preparation that once it was destroyed, he felt a tremendous backlash!

Yi Tianyun then turned into the evil dragon in order to end things with Prime Minister Long before the Imperial Preceptor could intervene again.

Everyone except for Rent Long was all shocked as they saw a tremendous dragon appear in the sky, blocking the sun from their sight!

Yi Tianyun then roared and immediately attacked Prime Minister Long with his dragon claw, he was ready to kill Prime Minister Long in one fell swoop!

Prime Minister Long was frightened and immediately tried to escape, but the murdering dragon poison in his system prevented him from moving as fast as normal.

"Imperial Preceptor! Save me!" Prime Minister Long shouted.

The next moment, the Imperial Preceptor quickly intercepted Yi Tianyun's attack with a divine rune that created a shield in the air.

But Yi Tianyun immediately forced the shield down, crushing it in one go!

With his dragon form, Yi Tianyun's combat power had reached 78 million points, there was no way anyone there could stop him! 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Yi Tianyun didn't want the battle to drag on any further, so he intended to end it quickly!

The Imperial Preceptor's complexion changed considerably, his defensive divine rune was useless, and now, with Prime Minister Long on his back, he wasn't sure that he could block Yi Tianyun's attack anymore!

So, the Imperial Preceptor immediately activated his last resort divine rune!

His body began to glow while his clothes were shredded, revealing a divine rune that was also glowing brightly. His body began to enlarge to three meters tall, exerting a powerful aura in all directions.

The Imperial Preceptor also pulled out a long sword that was also three meters long, with many divine runes engraved on it. He quickly looked over to Yi Tianyun and immediately swung the sword towards Yi Tianyun.

With his swing, a phantom shadow appeared, also attacking Yi Tianyun with the long sword!

The attack was devastating! It could destroy anyone who was weaker than the Imperial Preceptor for sure, as the power of the attack reached 84 million points!

This attack itself has already surpassed Yi Tianyun's power, but then again, Yi Tianyun smirked as he saw the Imperial Preceptor's attack!

Chapter 414

The powerful attack was the Imperial Preceptor's last resort. This was the best that he could do without burning his Blood Essence, but on the other hand, he used all his Divine Rune!

However, Yi Tianyun didn't try to dodge the Imperial Preceptor's attack, and therefore he extended his hands to counter the powerful attack with his own attack!

As his claw collided with Imperial Preceptor's attack, a tingling sensation ran through Yi Tianyun's body, indicating that he was starting to lose the power struggle.

But as he was about to burn his blood essence, a system notification suddenly beeped.

'DING'

'Congratulation to host for successfully breakthrough to Core Transformation Peak Stage!'

His combat power immediately increased to 85 Million points!

Yi Tianyun smirked and immediately repelled the attack, breaking it into countless light dust.𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But unfortunately for Yi Tianyun, the Imperial Preceptor used this opportunity to escape with Prime Minister Long on his arm.

They both witnessed Yi Tianyun destroy the Imperial Preceptor's attack and get shivers from the raw power that Yi Tianyun had exerted!

But Yi Tianyun also knew that this was all because of the Evil Dragon Suit that he wore. Without it, he wouldn't have the confidence to take Imperial Preceptor's attack head-on.

But that wasn't all, it was also because of his upgraded Dragon God Bloodline that further enhanced his defensive power!

Yi Tianyun was also surprised to see that Imperial Preceptor was also capable of increasing his power beyond the power that his cultivation should have as Yi Tianyun knew that the attack that Imperial Preceptor just launched was at least comparable to the 8th Level Void Spirit Stage, while the Imperial Preceptor himself was still at 6th Level Void Spirit Stage!

But this was common in the higher level as equipment, and other items could possibly increase their power beyond their own cultivation level. 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yi Tianyun believed that the attack Imperial Preceptor just launched earlier was exceptionally powerful because he used all his Divine Runes at the same time!

At the same time, the Imperial Preceptor was trying his best to carry Prime Minister Long to escape from Yi Tianyun.

"That brat freaks me out! How could a teenager like that have that kind of power!" Imperial Preceptor said nervously.

"Yeah, I didn't expect a strong backer like that in the Heavenly Dragon Empire myself!" Prime Minister Long said while still showing a painful expression.

The Imperial Preceptor had no choice but to withdraw from the battle as he had no other means to win against Yi Tianyun at the moment.

Prime Minister Long was also poisoned and therefore couldn't continue fighting, the Imperial Preceptor also issued the order to retreat for his troops as they would be massacred if they stayed in the battlefield any longer!

"Drop your weapon! If you surrender, you will live, but if you choose to run, you will be chased and killed!" Yi Tianyun said coldly. He would never let any enemy escape ever!

To further prove his point, he ordered the Black Dragon to burn the soldiers who tried to run from the battlefield!

The troops from both the Imperial Preceptor's rank and Prime Minister Long's rank immediately dropped their weapons and got down to their knees. They really didn't want to become cinders just yet!

Yi Tianyun was satisfied for now and immediately chased after the Imperial Preceptor!

With the effect of the Phoenix Wings, he could catch up with the Imperial Preceptor in a short amount of time!

"Where did you want to go? Our fight is not yet over!" Yi Tianyun said as he got close to the Imperial Preceptor.

Imperial Preceptor and Prime Minister Long were shocked to see Yi Tianyun already got so close to them, even though they were sure that they were far enough from him before!

"Damn you, meddling brat!" The Imperial Preceptor said as he used the Netherworld Divine Palm to attack Yi Tianyun and prevent him from getting any closer.

But Yi Tianyun was much stronger now, even though this Divine Palm was stronger than the one Prime Minister Long used earlier, it wasn't as strong as Yi Tianyun right now!

So, without any further effort, Yi Tianyun broke the Divine Palm attack and slammed both Prime Minister Long and Imperial Preceptor down to the ground!

But as the Imperial Preceptor hit the ground, the divine talisman on his neck shone, and he flew away quickly, faster than Yi Tianyun right now!

Chapter 415

"Tsk, A heavenly speed divine talisman, huh?" Yi Tianyun said. He was annoyed as he wouldn't be able to catch the Imperial Preceptor like he intended to.

"Brother Long, I will avenge you!" The Imperial Preceptor shouted as he got away from the battlefield.

As the Imperial Preceptor left the battlefield, the banner that he used to trap Yi Tianyun's heavenly dragon dropped to the ground, releasing Yi Tianyun's Heavenly Dragon. The banner itself was a treasure, the Imperial Preceptor was so nervous about fighting Yi Tianyun that he had to leave his treasure behind!

At the same time, Prime Minister Long was lying weakly on the ground, his body was receiving the full effect of the murdering dragon poison, and that rendered him unable to move. He could only watch as Yi Tianyun descended in his dragon form and walked towards him. Yi Tianyun then transformed back to his human form as he got closer to Prime Minister Long.

"Now, I would be happy if I could kill you, but it wasn't my place to do that! I will turn you to Brother Ren as he was the only one that you betrayed the most!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Ren Long and Ren Zhirou arrived at the scene and immediately walked toward Prime Minister Long.

"We treat you like family, and instead, you pay us back by spying on us. Furthermore, you caused so much damage to the Heavenly Dragon Empire!" Ren Long said coldly.

"Hahaha, that is because you are too stupid to see what is in front of your own eyes! Just kill me now, but for your information, the Netherworld Empire would never let you live peacefully!" Prime Minister Long said while smirking tauntingly.

"You won this time because of him! You are lucky to have such a strong aid at the right time!" Prime Minister Long said as he pointed his finger towards Yi Tianyun angrily.𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

Yi Tianyun only looked at the dying man indifferently, as he didn't care about what he thought.

"Rest assured, if the Netherworld Empire didn't attack us, we would be the one coming after them!" Ren Long said confidently.

"You are delusional! You don't even know how much power that the Netherworld Empire has!" Prime Minister Long said while laughing painfully.

Yi Tianyun had had enough and immediately drove his sword right in the Prime Minister's heart.

"It's okay, even if they have the power beyond our imagination, we just have to keep trying!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

'DING'

'Successfully killed Prime Minister Long!' 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

'Reward: 64.000.000 Exp, 50.000 Cps, 5.000 Sps, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Dragon God Bloodline (4th grade), Heavenly Dragon Battle Armour, Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, Heavenly Dragon Battle Boots, Netherworld Heavenly Book, Netherworld Passage Chart.'

Yi Tianyun also got a lot of Exp from the dragon army that he sent to deal with the escaping enemies. But there was no particular reward that piqued his interest. He was a little disappointed too because he thought that Prime Minister Long had to be an elite enemy, but the system didn't think so.

In the meantime, Ren Long ordered the army to kill all the remaining Netherworld Empire's soldiers on the battlefield, and because of that, The Netherworld Empire's soldiers immediately ran away, trying to save their life!

The scream was heard throughout the battlefield as soldiers obeyed Ren Long's command. But it didn't take long to finish off all the remaining Netherworld Empire's soldiers.

'DING'

'Successfully complete 'Assist the Imperial Goddess to resist Prime Minister Long's invasion!'

'Reward: 50.000.000 Exp, 100.000 Cps, 50 Heavenly Dragon Empire's favorability.'

'Successfully killed Prime Minister Long, doubling the quest reward!'

'Reward: 100.000.000 Exp, 200.000 Cps, 100 Heavenly Dragon Empire's Favorability.'

All the reward was immediately doubled from the initial amount, Yi Tianyun immediately was at least satisfied after seeing the amount of reward that he got! He was excited to level up to the Void Spirit Stage!

Chapter 416

The Heavenly Dragon Empire has won the battle!

The news spread across the continent that the Netherworld Empire finally was no longer undefeated!

Furthermore, it was an army led by none other than the Imperial Preceptor himself!

The news didn't stop there!

Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure could be controlled by three people and was also a hot topic by almost every faction across the continent. That meant the Heavenly Dragon Empire has become so much stronger!

The news about the defeat of the Netherworld Empire's army and the death of Prime Minister Long also reached the Netherworld Emperor's ear. He could no longer contain his anger as Prime Minister Long was his brother!

The Imperial Preceptor cowered in fear!

This was the first time after a long while that he felt this carnal fear from the Netherworld Emperor as this was his mistake too!

"I am sorry, Great Emperor! The power of the one that helped the Heavenly Dragon Empire was beyond my expectation. I was caught off guard!" The Imperial Preceptor said apologetically.

"Can't you fight with all your power? Aren't you the number two person inside this empire!" The Netherworld Emperor said angrily.

"I can, but I got there underprepared, my lord! There is little I can do to defend against his tremendous power over there!" Imperial Preceptor said as he tried to make an excuse.

"Now that it has come to this, I have to be the one to face that man myself!" The Netherworld Emperor said angrily.

"Great Emperor! You can't leave yet! think about your hard-earned cultivation, if you leave the palace now, it will all be for naught!" Imperial Preceptor said worriedly.

"Brother Long is my younger brother! Did you expect me to set his revenge aside?" The Netherworld Emperor said coldly.

"No, Great Emperor! That's not what I mean! You are already at the final step, if you got the Dark Dragon Power, Heavenly Dragon Empire wouldn't stand a chance! You could exact Brother Long's vengeance at that time!" Imperial Preceptor said as he tried to reason with the Netherworld Emperor.

"Damn it! You are right! Brother Long, I will avenge you! Just you wait!" Netherworld Emperor said as he gritted his teeth and sat at his throne again, finally calmed down.

Originally Prime Minister Long was to sneak into the Heavenly Dragon Empire and create a chance for the Netherworld Empire to attack and occupy the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but it would result in the destruction of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and that was not the goal of the Netherworld Empire.

But now, the Heavenly Dragon Empire could fight back because of just one guy!

One person completely foiled years of planning!

"This is our negligence! I will make sure it won't happen again. If the Great Emperor gets the Dark Dragon Strength, the Netherworld Emperor could ascend into the Divine Nation status!" Imperial Preceptor said confidently.

"You are right! We will destroy all of them when the time comes!" The Netherworld Emperor said coldly.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun has just finished helping the Heavenly Dragon Empire get rid of the corpses in front of the Imperial City as the battle ended. He was a little bit disappointed that the quest he had didn't have any follow up quest, even though Ren Zhirou wasn't a goddess just yet!

"Brother Yi, what are you doing here?" Ren Long said as he saw Yi Tianyun standing in the lobby alone. 𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Nothing, I am just checking the situation outside, and I notice everything has calmed down once again." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Yeah, but I still don't know what the Netherworld Empire planned next, I think the Netherworld Emperor himself will lead his army to attack the Heavenly Dragon Empire next!" Ren Long said as he tilted his head, wondering what the Netherworld Empire would do next.

"Brother Ren, you don't have to think about it so hard! Is there something else bothering you? I am here if you need to talk about something, you know!" Yi Tianyun said as he saw that Ren Long was thinking too hard.

"I am still not sure! You are far more powerful and competent to be the next Emperor than myself, the truth is, I don't really want this position as the Emperor myself! I prefer to go on an adventure without any worry, you know!" Ren Long said sincerely.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit startled by Ren Long's honesty, he didn't know what to say to Ren Long at this point.

Chapter 417

"I am honored that you spoke highly of me like that, but I am not sure about becoming the emperor myself! Isn't it better to let Shirou become the new empress? She could become the goddess in the future." Yi Tianyun said sincerely.

"That little girl! I almost forgot about her! You are right, but she still needs a little more guidance, but I believe she could become a goddess in the future!" Ren Long said as he smiled happily at Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun shook his head at Ren Long with amusement.

"You know, if she heard that you forgot about her, I believe she will make you suffer!" Yi Tianyun said as he laughed a little bit.

"Yeah, just don't let her know! I will make an excuse letter, but I am sure she will catch on that I really want to travel the world!" Ren Long said casually.

"Poor little Zhiruo, she has no other choice but to accept her brother's weird demand later!" Yi Tianyun said teasingly.

"Well, I wouldn't force her, if she doesn't want to do it, then I will stay. But maybe I will travel quite a lot to another continent!" Ren Long said while smirking to Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun laughed as he knew that Ren Long would do whatever he wanted regardless of his position.

"Well, I will meet Shirou now, better ask her now than later! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, your little Xu Fei was rushing towards Qin Family Mansion earlier. I am afraid that he might be avoiding you." Ren Long said casually.

"Is that so? I will check on him later!" Yi Tianyun said a little bit disappointed.

"Hey, don't read into it too much, it may just be because your new status was far too high for him to be comfortable to brazenly meet you. I suggest you meet him yourself!" Ren Long said as he turned and searched for Ren Zhirou.

Yi Tianyun fell silent for a while and immediately made up his mind before he went back to Heavenly Clouds Mansion, he had to meet with Xu Fei first!

Yi Tianyun then immediately rushed towards the Qin Family Mansion without any more hesitation.

At the same time, at Qin Family Mansion, Xu Fei was shouting for Qin Xue to meet him outside her door.

The door was finally opened, revealing many people from the Qin Family who were annoyed by Xu Fei's persistence.

"Why are you still here? Just give it up! Our family has decided to marry Qin Xue to the Fu Family! We couldn't marry her to you while you don't even have the blessing of your own family!" Elder of the Qin Family said coldly.

"Qin Xue, I am here to pick you up!" Xu Fei shouted as he ignored the Elder of Qin Family.

"You brat! I will personally throw you out the gate myself!" Elder of the Qin Family said annoyedly.

"Second Elder, please stop!" A beautiful woman quickly stopped the Elder of Qin Family.

"Little Xue, you finally came out!" Xu Fei said happily as he saw Qin Xue come out of the door.

"This time, I have come to bargain for your hand in marriage!" Xu Fei said confidently. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"You talk big, brat! What can you give us to change our minds?!" The Elder of Qin Family said condescendingly.

"I will exchange this treasure for that!" Xu Fei said as he took out a pearl from his pocket.

"This is a Lower Grade Sacred Tool Heavenly Spirit Treasure Bead! If you use this to cultivate, you can increase your cultivation speed by several levels! At first, I wanted to use it myself, but on second thought, I'd better give it up as a betrothal gift for Little Xue!" Xu Fei said confidently.

"Interesting, I never expected a brat like you would have a treasure like that!" A new figure appeared from the mansion door. He was a representative of the Fu Family, he didn't want to show up at first, as he didn't want to associate with Xu Fei, but as he saw the treasure that Xu Fei held, he just couldn't hold themselves!

Chapter 418

The Heavenly Spirit Treasure Bead as a betrothal gift, there was no family in their right mind would reject that offer!

No wonder Xu Fei was confident that he would get what he wanted with this!

"Yes, this is definitely a sacred tool rank!" The second elder said curiously.

"Yes, it is a sacred tool treasure! I intended to use it for my own, but as soon as I heard that little Xue would be married to the Fu Family, I guess it is better to use this item as a betrothal gift!" Xu Fei said confidently.

Qin Xue wiped a tear that streamed down her face as all she really wanted was to be with Xu Fei, but she couldn't disobey her family either. But a man came out from the house, interrupting Xu Fei to make another demand.

"That is not enough at this point!" The man said commandingly.

This man was none other than Qin Long, the head of the Qin Family!

"Your treasure is definitely valuable, but did you know what makes a family prosper? That is a connection with other families! If a family has many good connections with other families, they'll receive help from so many directions! With that in mind, what would you offer to my family? Could you protect us in time of need? If you have the support of your Xu Family, maybe I could consider your betrothal with Qin Xue!" Qin Long said confidently.

Qin Long's words left Xu Fei speechless because it all made sense!

A treasure could do so much while a connection could take the family to a completely different level!

"Give me a little time, I will definitely protect the Qin Family in the future!" Xu Fei said desperately.

"Time? How many years would it take for you to be powerful enough to protect us? Five years? Ten years? Now, stop your delusion, boy! Unless Xu Family backs you up, I will not let Qin Xue marry you!" Qin Long said wisely.

"Stop it father! Big Brother Xu had saved me! If it is not because of him, I would have died!" Qin Xue shouted to his father!

"Enough child! I will give him money for his help, but I will not allow him to marry you, no waste would become the groom of the Qin Family!" Qin Long said coldly to Qin Xue.

But suddenly another group of people arrived at Qin's Family house.

"Xu Fei, you are really here!" Xu Zhi, Xu Family Lord said casually. 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Oh, look at that! You have a sacred tool in your possession!" Xu Zhi said sarcastically as he saw the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Bead in Xu Fei's hands.

"Father, this is my betrothal gift to the Qin Family!" Xu Fei said to Xu Zhi desperately.

"Are you a fool? Why would you use a sacred treasure as a betrothal gift? This sacred treasure was way better in your brother's hands!" Xu Zhi said coldly.

"Are you saying that my daughter wasn't worth the sacred Treasure, Xu Family Lord?" Qin Long said coldly.

"Hey, I didn't mean it that way, but the Qin Family wouldn't have any need for the sacred treasure, right? After all, you never have any." Xu Zhi said tauntingly.

The two-family lord kept exchanging banter with one another while Xu Fei was feeling sorrowful on the side. He didn't expect his father would come, and on top of that, his father wanted him to relinquish his sacred tool to his brother!

"Now, give me that sacred treasure, and let's leave this place!" Xu Zhi said as he reached for the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Bead from Xu Fei's hands, but Xu Fei evaded Xu Zhi's hands and immediately put it back inside his Storage Ring.

"You dare to defy me, boy?" Xu Zhi said coldly.

"This is my treasure! I work hard to get it without you or the family's help! I don't have any obligation to give it to you!" Xu Fei said confidently.

"Even if you didn't receive any of our help, your treasure is still family treasure!" Xu Zhi said as he walked closer towards Xu Fei.

"And why is that? why does his treasure become a family treasure when he doesn't have his family's support?" A new voice joins in.

Chapter 419

The new figure was very domineering, drawing everyone's attention towards him! But once they saw who it was, they immediately kneeled in respect and fear.

"Hail Prince Yi!" Almost all of them said at the same time. After the war, no one inside the Heavenly Dragon Empire didn't know of the terrifying power that Yi Tianyun possessed!

But Xu Fei was the only one who showed a shocked expression above anyone else!

"So, why did I get the feeling that you are avoiding me?" Yi Tianyun asked Xu Fei as he walked closer towards him.

"I am sorry, big brother Yi, but I was startled by the big gap between us, and therefore afraid that you will not need anything for me anymore!" Xu Fei said sincerely.

"Have confidence Xu Fei, you are stronger than you thought!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Did you really mean it?" Xu Fei asked curiously.

"Of course, why wouldn't I? So, this is the root of your problem? Not getting support from your family?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"Yes, I am afraid that is the real problem for me, brother." Xu Fei said a little bit embarrassedly.

"Well then! Qin Family Lord, I am now his backing, is it enough to make him your daughter's husband?" Yi Tianyun asked Qin Long commandingly.

"It is enough, my lord!" Qin Long said as he bowed his head lower for Yi Tianyun, he immediately ordered his wife to prepare a tea to welcome Prince Yi into his house.

At this time, Xu Family was aghast when they found out that Xu Fei knew Prince Yi well, they couldn't voice anything to Xu Fei, afraid that they would somehow offend Prince Yi, after all, with the power that Yi Tianyun had shown in the war earlier, everyone knew that destroying a family was easy!

"You don't have to kneel in front of me, now get up and embrace your future husband!" Yi Tianyun said to Qin Xue warmly.

Qin Xue obeyed and immediately ran toward Xu Fei with a smile on her face. Seeing Yi Tianyun so easily dealt with his problem, Xu Fei knows that he must get stronger fast!𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"I will talk with the Great Emperor later; I will make a personal request to treat the Qin Family better in the future!" Yi Tianyun said to Qin Long with a smile on his face.

Qin Long was speechless as he got more than he bargained for, so he bowed his head more and expressed his gratitude excessively towards Yi Tianyun.

"Now, you will stay safe inside Heavenly Dragon Empire if you don't show any disobedience toward your emperor and commit any crime inside the Empire, I guess it was a reasonable request from me, so keep cultivating as best as you can. With that said, I will take my leave, and I will also take Xu Fei and Qin Xue with me." Yi Tianyun said towards Qin Long politely.

"Yes, My Prince! Of course, and thank you once again, My Prince!" Qin Long said with his head still bowed respectfully.

"Now, you two can come with me, you don't have to stay here." Yi Tianyun said while smiling toward Xu Fei and Qin Xue.

"Yes, of course, Big Brother Yi!" Xu Fei said while nodding his head excitedly.

But as soon as they were about to leave the place, Xu Zhi spoke with Xu Fei for a moment.

"Please come back whenever you want, Xu Family's door will always open for you!" Xu Zhi said to Xu Fei sincerely.

"No, I wouldn't be back to Xu Family in my life again!" Xu Fei said confidently.

Xu Zhi's face was enveloped in sorrow, he regretted ever isolating Xu Fei, for no one ever expected that Xu Fei would be close to the powerful Prince!

"Are you sure about your decision to leave your family behind?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"I am sure! I've hated him since he killed my mother!" Xu Fei said coldly.

"Okay, I will respect your decision." Yi Tianyun said casually.

But the next thing startled him tremendously.

"Big Brother Yi! I, Xu Fei, swear to follow you forever! No matter what order you gave, even if it was killing my closest person, I will follow you to no end!" Xu Fei said as he kneeled in front of Yi Tianyun, taking his vow.

Qin Xue also kneeled, even though she didn't have the same feeling towards Yi Tianyun as Xu Fei, but she will marry Xu Fei soon, and a wife always followed her husband's decision!

'DING!'

'Successfully achieved an Absolute Loyal General!'

'Reward: 100 Command Points, shared Exp, Sps, Cps, with the Loyal General!'

Yi Tianyun was surprised!

This meant that the Loyal General was another form of pet that he already had because the pet system also shared the same trait!

However, this was much better than a pet as a General had a mind of their own!𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Chapter 420

Yi Tianyun checked Xu Fei's status, and he saw that Xu Fei's favorability indicated an infinity sign, meaning that favorability wasn't part of the equation anymore!

This was the first time for Yi Tianyun to see this kind of symbol inside someone's status, even though Shi Xueyun also believed in him wholeheartedly, it was still different from the loyalty that Xu Fei would be showcasing his entire life!

"I will help you cultivate as efficiently as I can think of!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly as he wanted to see the level up reward that he would get as soon as Xu Fei leveled up.

"Now, if you don't mind, I have a place for both of you in my faction, it is called Heavenly Clouds Mansion! That is if you don't mind joining my faction." Yi Tianyun said politely.

"Heavenly Clouds Mansion? We have never heard of it before." Xu Fei and Qin Xue said at the same time.

"Yes, it is a new faction, the name itself comes from my real name. Yi Tianyun!" Yi Tianyun said as he explained the Heavenly Clouds Mansion and showed Xu Fei and Qin Xue his real face by taking off the mask that he always wore.

"Is this really you, big brother Yi? You look way younger than me!" Xu Fei said as he was shocked to see Yi Tianyun's real face.

"Well, my true face is rarely known by the public, but in front of you, I don't see any need to cover my face." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

After that, Yi Tianyun wore his mask once again and led them both to return to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City.

Yi Tianyun still needed to talk with Ren Long about the next plan against the Netherworld Empire.

Once Yi Tianyun met with Ren Long, they both immediately talked and prepared a foolproof plan to take down the Netherworld Empire once and for all!

Originally Ren Long intended to take down the Netherworld Empire by the power of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but as soon as he heard Yi Tianyun's plan, he immediately agreed as there was no harm in adding more assurance to the plan!

After their discussion was over, Yi Tianyun immediately summoned the Black Dragon and left toward Heavenly Clouds Mansion with Xu Fei and Qin Xue while Ren Long prepared his elite soldier to rendezvous with Yi Tianyun later.

If their plan worked smoothly, there was no need for the Heavenly Dragon Empire to bring a huge army to attack the Netherworld Empire!

After Yi Tianyun arrived at Heavenly Clouds Mansion, he took off his mask once again and walked toward the gate leisurely with Xu Fei and Qin Xue following behind him.

"Aunt! I am back!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he walked inside the gate.

He saw that everyone was already accustomed to his dragon, and therefore he didn't see anyone that surprised anymore.

"Welcome back! This time you only brought a man and a woman with you? I almost thought that you would bring more than last time!" Shi Xueyun said as he greeted Yi Tianyun.

"Hahaha, there are not that many people who want to join me this time! But let me introduce them to you, aunt. He is Xu Fei, in the future, he will become the first General of Heavenly Clouds Mansion, and this is Qin Xue, his future wife!" Yi Tianyun said as he introduced Xu Fei and Qin Xue to Shi Xueyun.

Xu Fei looked over to Yi Tianyun gratefully and immediately showed a determined expression, he couldn't disappoint Yi Tianyun, and thus he needed to get stronger faster.

"Welcome to the Heavenly Clouds Mansion to the both of you. I hope that you will get along well with the rest of the people here!" Shi Xueyun said with a smile toward Xu Fei and Qin Xue.𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"So, what will you do next?" Shi Xueyun asked Yi Tianyun as she didn't know what Yi Tianyun's next plan was.

"We're finally ready to control Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins and move it to the Heavenly Border Continent! And we would merge with Heaven's Top Mansion as soon as we get there, completing the Heavenly Clouds Mansion as we originally intended!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

"Are you sure? You will completely expose us by doing that!" Shi Xueyun asked worriedly.

"Don't worry. I've already made a few preparations for that. Everything is under control!" Yi Tianyun said while smiling at Shi Xueyun. 𝓁𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝘮

"Spirit Race Old Ancestor! Ready to launch the Great Array of flight?" Yi Tianyun said as he finally saw the Spirit Race, the Old Ancestor walked towards him.

"It's all ready when you are!" The Old Ancestor said while smiling at Yi Tianyun.

Soon after that, The Old Ancestor activated the Great Array of Flight, and the whole mountain was shining brightly while a rumbling sound like an earthquake was heard all over the place.

After the bright light dissipated from the mountain, the huge temple was immediately catapulted to the sky, successfully floating in the air!

"Great, it seems we don't have any problem with the Great Array now! Let's fly toward the Heavenly Border continent!" Yi Tianyun commanded excitedly.

The whole temple shone brightly once again and began to move towards the Heavenly Border Continent, its speed wasn't that fast, but it wasn't slow either, Yi Tianyun expected them to arrive at the Heaven's Top Mansion location in a few days with their current speed.

The flying palace immediately surprised everyone who saw it as it was very rare and almost never did they saw a scene like this ever happened in the Earthly Border Continent, it was rare for even a 4th Grade Faction to have this flying fortress, and so many people began to wonder what faction did it came from!

Yi Tianyun knew that he was completely exposed now, but he didn't really care, as soon as he arrived at the Heaven's Top Mansion, his Main Quest would be completed, and the reward from it would level him up to Void Spirit Stage, and who could stop him then!

Chapter 421

Many people discussed the flying palace as it crossed the Earthly Border Continent towards the Heavenly Border Continent.

However, the Netherworld Empire that has heard of the report stating that there was a huge palace flying toward the Heavenly Border Continent was having a tough time deciding whether to check on it or not.

It was all because they still needed to figure out what to do with the Heavenly Dragon Empire!

But the Netherworld Empire has thought of collaborating with this new Heavenly Clouds Mansion.

If they could destroy Prince Yi of Heavenly Dragon Empire, then it would be all worth it!

But sadly, they didn't know that Yi Tianyun himself was the one who led the Heavenly Clouds Mansion!

This information regarding Yi Tianyun as the Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Clouds Mansion was still confidential, that was thanks to everyone's loyalty to Yi Tianyun!

Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins was finally closing in on the Heaven's Top Mansion's location, once it was close enough, Yi Tianyun then commanded that they must immediately land on the open spot.

The sound of the huge palace landing on the ground surprised everyone in Heaven's Top Mansion, and they immediately got out to check what just happened, and they were shocked once more as they saw a huge palace appear near theirs.

However, the Great Elder has not come out as he was reported dead in the Dragon City incident.

But, Yi Tianyun didn't care about any of that anymore and came out from the Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins confidently.

Everyone from Heaven's Top Mansion was shocked to see that Yi Tianyun was fine!

He Qianhan was even more confused as she didn't know whether to call him Mansion Lord or not!

Everyone began to relax as they thought that they were under attack at first, but as they saw Yi Tianyun's familiar face, the thought suddenly disappeared.

Yi Tianyun looked at He Qianhan and nodded at her, signaling that it was okay now and that the Great Elder should come out of hiding.

He Qianhan bowed and immediately returned to the main building to call the Great Elder.

Yi Tianyun turned his attention towards Shi Xueyun and said to her that this place would be the base of Heavenly Clouds Mansion starting that day.

"Is this Heaven's Top Mansion used to be the Old Ancestor's sect?" Shi Xueyun asked curiously as she looked around in wonder.

But as Yi Tianyun was about to answer, he was interrupted by the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er, who finally came out of hiding.

The arrival of the Great Elder and Mu Xian'er shocked the disciple and some deacons of Heaven's Top Mansion because their survival was strictly confidential!

"I am very sorry for ever deceiving you, but the truth is we are never really in danger, but after the Dragon City incident, we have to hide for the safety of the sect! The Mansion Lord himself was the one giving this order and also the one who dealt with the Netherworld Empire all along!" Great Elder said as he bowed to Yi Tianyun.

"Mansion Lord? Wasn't he sick after the second Elder's betrayal?" Some disciples asked the Great Elder.

"No, in fact, the Mansion Lord has changed to Lord Yi! The previous Mansion Lord was still helping Lord Yi as he dealt with the Netherworld Empire." The Great Elder said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I am the new Mansion Lord, I earned this position as the previous Mansion Lord gave it to me to improve Heaven's Top Mansion." Yi Tianyun said as he stepped forward with a warm smile on his face.

"But before we go too far, I have an announcement to make! Heaven's Top Mansion will officially merge with Heavenly Clouds Mansion, and because of that, Heaven's Top Mansion would now become Heaven's Top Sect, along with the Heavenly Jade Sect and Spirit Sect! The three sects will work side by side in the future, and I hope everyone will get along well!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly.

Heaven's Top Mansion finally noticed the Spirit Race that was standing near the flying palace, after they noticed the Spirit Race's presence, they couldn't help but feel in awe!

"Now, everyone might be too surprised to understand what Lord Yi just said, and I would gladly explain to you how it gets to this!" the Great Elder said enthusiastically.

He began to tell Yi Tianyun's story until the point of Yi Tianyun saving the Spirit Race from Army General Feng of the Netherworld Empire!

They still didn't know about Yi Tianyun's relationship with the Heavenly Dragon Empire, so the Great Elder didn't tell the story to the disciple of Heaven's Top Sect!

'DING!"

'Successfully completed the main quest [Strong Sect!] by promoting Heavenly Jade Sect to Heavenly Jade Mansion and moving to Heavenly Border Continent!'

'Reward: 100.000.000 Exp, 1.000.000 Cps, 100.000 Mastery Value (Could be assigned accordingly), 100.000 Sps, and one life-up.' 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

'DING!'

'Doubling the reward for successfully completing the Main Quest with the hidden objective.'

'Reward: 200.000.000 Exp, 2.000.000 Cps, 200.000 Mastery Point (Could be assigned accordingly), 200.000 Sps, and 2 Life-ups.'

The reward from the Main Quest exceeded Yi Tianyun's expectations!

Chapter 422

The rewards were doubled! This was not something that he ever expected, but nevertheless, he was very satisfied with the 2 million exp that he just got from the reward!

'DING!'

'Congratulation to the host for successfully breaking through to 1st Layer Void Spirit Stage.

'DING!'

'Successfully took a new Main Quest [For the Heavenly Path, Destroy the Netherworld Empire and kill the Netherworld Emperor!]'

'Reward for succession: 500.000.000 Exp, 5.000.000 Cps, 500.000 Mastery Point (can be assigned), 500.000 SPs, Title [Punish the Wicked and Eliminate the Evil!]'

Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised to see that his next main quest would be eliminating the Netherworld Empire itself!

Not only that, but the reward was also huge!

It was five times the amount of reward he just got from completing the main quest earlier!

"It seems even the system agreed that the Netherworld Empire should be eradicated from this world!" Yi Tianyun said as he nodded in satisfaction.

This main quest was in line with what he would do next anyway, so he felt happy that he could finish it sooner than he expected!𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The people of Heaven's Top Mansion were still in shock after learning the truth about their Mansion Lord and their sect, but among them, the person who was surprised the most was Yang Yu, because he had a good relationship with Yi Tianyun before, knowing that Yi Tianyun was in fact the Mansion Lord really was unexpected!

After the rest of the people finally snapped back to their senses, they began to discuss about the merge that Yi Tianyun had announced, at first there was some kind of rejection from the disciples, but eventually the Great Elder successfully defused the situation and made everyone accept the new Mansion Lord's decision.

Yi Tianyun handed the management work over to Shi Xueyun because she was currently the best person for managing affairs in the sect. She also had Yi Yuwei to help her in this matter!

After settling that matter, Yi Tianyun headed inside the Heaven's Top Mansion building and found an empty cultivation room, he immediately walked in and closed the door as he wanted to be alone for the moment. He began to sort his inventory and immediately thought of leveling up the Crazy Mode.

"No need to think twice about this, Level Up the Crazy Mode!" Yi Tianyun said to himself.

'DING!'

'Successfully Level Up the Crazy Mode! Deducting 10.000.000 Cps.'

'Active effect increases to X16! Passive Effect: X4 Mastery Point, X2 Sin Point, X2 Medicinal Pill effect!'

Yi Tianyun had expected this kind of effect, but he also suspected that the next level would give him the X32 Effect!

But he needed 50.000.000 CPs for that, which he didn't have yet at this moment!

However, X16 was already strong enough to get through right now.

"Great! Everything seems good!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly. He also can't wait to find some more Soul Accumulating Grass to make a few Soul Accumulating Pills, because of the Crazy Mode effect, pills would give him double the normal amount!

As for the Sin Points, he was happy that it would be doubled, but he didn't know how good it would be as the amount of Sin Points that he got from killing cultivators was relatively small.

He then opened his status to check if there was another thing that he thought was necessary to level up and affordable. He thought it over for a moment and immediately decided to level up the Teleportation and Lucky Aura!

'DING!'

'Successfully Level Up Teleportation to level 2!'

'Effect: instantly teleport anywhere within 10 miles radius of the player. Cooldown time: 5 minutes!'

'DING!'

'Successfully Level Up Lucky Aura to level 3!'

'Effect: Increase the player luck X15, consumes 5.000 Cps per second!'

Yi Tianyun nodded his head as he found that the effect wasn't bad. He looked at the amount of Crazy Points left and felt that there was nothing else he could level up with only a million CPs, so he immediately decided to look for the Level 50 Gift Pack.

'DING!' 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

'Successfully opened Level 50 Gift Pack!'

'Get 1X Super Enhanced Version Lottery Ticket, 1X Enhanced Version Lottery Ticket, 50% Discount Coupon (limited time), X50 Exp Card, Level 60 Gift Pack!'

"Hmmm, what is this Super Enhanced Lottery Ticket? Is it better than the previous one?" Yi Tianyun said curiously as he got the Super Enhanced Version Lottery Ticket!

Chapter 423

"Let's just try it out!" Yi Tianyun said without hesitation as he immediately activated the Super Enhanced Version Lottery Ticket.

Suddenly, a huge Roulette appeared in front of him and quickly spun on its own.

However, Yi Tianyun decided not to use his Lucky Aura now, as he thought that the Lucky Aura wouldn't influence this roulette.

Sure enough, the roulette stopped at Cultivation Technique!

A wooden box immediately popped out of the roulette, and Yi Tianyun eagerly took it to check what he got.

Swallowing Heavens Divine Arts: Lower Grade Heavens Level Martial Art! A powerful absorption technique that could devour all types of energy and turn it into Exp! (the effect did not stack with the Dark North Divine Art.) Leveling up costs 1.000.000 Mastery Point.

Yi Tianyun checked his Dark North Divine Art and noticed that it also required 1.000.000 Mastery Points to level it up to Lower Heaven Grade, but this new Divine Art cost 1.000.000 Mastery Point to level it up to Middle Heaven Grade! He began to wonder which one was better between the two. But he immediately decided to try Swallowing Heavens Divine Art first before making his decision.

Yi Tianyun then reached out his arm forward and activated the Swallowing Heavens Divine Art, and suddenly he absorbed so much Spiritual Energy inside the room in an instant!

'Received 300 Exp, 320 Exp, …'

This absorption rate was much faster than Dark North Divine Art. Furthermore, this Swallowing Heavens Divine Art also absorbed a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy from the object around him, which the Dark North Divine art couldn't do!

"It seems that this one was better! I will use this Swallowing Heavens Divine Art from now on!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly. He was also happy that the item that he got from his Gift Pack wasn't bad at all, the X50 Exp Card would be used effectively!𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮

He took a look at the Super Enhanced Version Lottery Roulette and found out that he had to use 2.000.000 CPs for one draw without a ticket, which was too much for him at the moment!

He then checked his inventory and status and found out there was nothing more that he could do at the moment.

He also noticed that he didn't need that much Exp to level up to 2nd?Level Void Spirit Stage too!

Because of the amount of Exp that he got from his Main Quest earlier, he was halfway to leveling up, he only needed 150.000.000 Exp now!

That amount of Exp was a lot!

But with the X50 Exp Card, he knew that it would be a walk in the park!

After that, Yi Tianyun immediately walked out of the cultivation room and looked at the situation outside.

He noticed that there was not much change since they arrived there.

The mansion was still divided into two parts, one was Heaven's Top Mansion, and the other was Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins, which was still used by the Spirit Sect and Heavenly Jade Sect.

This was nothing strange, as they just met each other and still not familiar enough to do anything together. 𝓵𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝒎

Although the change inside the Heavenly Clouds Mansion wasn't much, the outside world begged to differ, the news of the merge was spread throughout the Heavenly Border Continent, including the Netherworld Empire!

They began to wonder why a mysterious sect like that wanted to merge with Heaven's Top Mansion of all sects!

But the next news really shocked everyone, especially the Netherworld Empire!

Because the news said that the Spirit Race was found among the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's disciples!

Everyone was surprised because they knew that the Netherworld Empire was chasing the Spirit Race, but they came out of their hiding with a bang like this was basically seeking death!

On the other hand, the Netherworld Empire was distraught by this news.

"That despicable Spirit Race! How dare they make a move like this! Did they think that the Netherworld Empire couldn't afford to chase them down again!" Imperial Preceptor said furiously.

The Netherworld Emperor also took the news with anger as everyone knew that the Spirit Race had taken out two of the Netherworld Empire's Main Generals!

The Emperor immediately ordered the imperial Preceptor to plan an attack to eradicate them once and for all!

But while they were still planning an attack, Yi Tianyun had already made his decision!

He would be attacking the Netherworld Empire actively!

The people from the Heavenly Clouds Mansion thought that Yi Tianyun had gone insane, but Yi Tianyun only showed them his smirk as he already received a report from the Spirit Race's spy from the Netherworld Empire's border!

He could attack the Netherworld Empire right now!

Chapter 424

The Spirit Race's spies were quick on their feet, it didn't take long for them to inquire about the news that Yi Tianyun could attack the Netherworld Empire at any time!

The report from the spy also included the amount of Void Spirit Stage Experts currently within the Netherworld Empire's territory, which was only 4!

That expert consisted of the Netherworld Emperor, Imperial Preceptor, and two other Army Generals.

As for the Core Transformation Expert, there were still quite many of them, at least 20 to 30 people, but that was not a concern for Yi Tianyun!

But Yi Tianyun still didn't tell the rest of the sect any of this as he wanted to catch the Netherworld Empire off guard.

The people inside Heavenly Clouds Mansion all thought that Yi Tianyun was making a bad decision because the Spirit Race always relied on concealment for their safety.

Exposing them to the world to see like this wouldn't be good for the Spirit Race!

In fact, Yi Tianyun's mind right now was focused on the reward that he would get from finishing the Main Quest after destroying the Netherworld Empire!

He knew that he would succeed. He was confident that there would be no casualties on his side!

He based it all with his previous confrontation with the Imperial Preceptor. With the X8 Crazy Mode effect, he could win against the Imperial Preceptor, meaning that since he has already upgraded Crazy Mode to X16, the Imperial Preceptor wouldn't be a problem anymore!

Not only that, but the Heavenly Dragon Empire, under Ren Long would also help him out to destroy the Netherworld Empire, all he had to do was just wait for them to arrive here.

"Well, I am sure when the Heavenly Dragon Empire's forces arrive here, we will immediately march toward the Netherworld Empire's imperial city!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Many people looked at him in horror!

They were not sure that they could win against a strong nation like the Netherworld Empire, even with the Heavenly Dragon Empire's help!

"Mansion Lord! That decision isn't wise! It is dangerous to take action against the Netherworld Empire like that! We could be destroyed if you didn't plan it thoroughly!" An elder from the Heaven's Top Mansion said, other disciples from Heaven's top Mansion also nodded, they agreed that the Netherworld Empire wouldn't be easily defeated! 𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

Yi Tianyun understood that he had the shortest time with the Heaven's Top Mansion's people.

As a result, their loyalty towards Yi Tianyun wasn't as high as the two other sects.

Yi Tianyun couldn't blame them as it was his own fault for not sparing any time to increase Heaven's Top Mansion's loyalty before.

"I didn't make an empty notion! I've already made plans to attack them! Did you think that I didn't think about the future of this Mansion? I already chipped away at the Netherworld Empire's strength before I arrived here!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Furthermore, the Spirit Race's spy also reported that the Netherworld Empire is preparing something big, you know they can sense the turbulence on Spiritual Energy, and they said that whatever that Netherworld Empire had prepared this time would be huge!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"We've been on defense this entire time. Now we have to take the initiative to launch an attack of our own! I believe in our power. Together we could destroy the Netherworld Empire once and for all!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly.

"I am sorry, Mansion Lord Yi. But I don't know, I still don't understand where this confidence of yours comes from?! I still didn't believe that we could win against the Netherworld Empire!" An elder from Heaven's Top Mansion said nervously.

"That is simple! His confidence comes from the support of the people around him!" Shi Xueyun said confidently as she showed her support for Yi Tianyun's decision to attack the Netherworld Empire.

From the beginning of the discussion, Shi Xueyun and Heavenly Jade Sect never once questioned Yi Tianyun for his decision.

It may seem ridiculous for the people who only know Yi Tianyun for a short time, but all Yi Tianyun needed was the support from the people that he cared for.

With his power alone, he could defeat his enemy, but still, he needed reassurance that the people he cared for wouldn't betray his trust!

Suddenly, a guard came barging in to give a report to Yi Tianyun.

"Mansion Lord Yi, Experts from Heavenly Dragon Empire were waiting outside for you!" The guard reported politely.

"Bring them in!" Yi Tianyun said as he dismissed the guard.

Yi Tianyun was excited as finally, Ren Long has come!

A moment later, Ren Long's familiar figure appeared, followed by a group of experts from the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

Yi Tianyun noticed that Ren Zhirou wasn't among them, which meant that she was left behind to defend the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City in case the Netherworld Empire decided to attack again.

"Big Brother Ren! You are finally here!" Yi Tianyun welcomed Ren Long excitedly.

"Well, you told me to come to yourself, didn't you?" Ren Long said teasingly with a smile on his face.

"Well, are you ready to destroy the Netherworld Empire?" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

Chapter 425

As the people from Heavenly Dragon Empire came, Yi Tianyun had nothing left to wait for, Yi Tianyun then prepared for their departure towards the Netherworld Empire immediately!

"Are you ready to destroy the Netherworld Empire?" Yi Tianyun asked the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Army.

"Yes, my prince!" The soldier all said at the same time.

The people from the Heavenly Cloud Mansion were surprised at their answer, they never knew Yi Tianyun was a prince before, on top of that the Heavenly Dragon Empire's prince?

But even if he noticed the confused look on his people's face, Yi Tianyun didn't explain why he was called a prince to them.

Furthermore, the people from the Heavenly Clouds Mansion began to notice that the leader of the Heavenly Dragon Empire's army was the Heavenly Dragon Emperor himself!

This revelation made some of them feel chilly as Yi Tianyun's progress was far too quick for their understanding!

"Did you really become the Heavenly Dragon Empire's Prince? You sure didn't take your time, did you?" Shi Xueyun said teasingly.

"Well, I always tried my best for the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's betterment!" Yi Tianyun said confidently to Shi Xueyun.

After a small briefing of what they would do in the battle, Yi Tianyun immediately announced their departure towards the Netherworld Empire.

Ye Qingxuan nodded and immediately activated the Great Array of flight to transport all the people that would join the battle.

But even though they were up in the air, the Netherworld Empire still had many cultivators at Core Transformation stage or higher, so they could intercept the flying palace anytime.

"Brother Yi, why are you so confident that we need to attack this fast?" Ren Long asked Yi Tianyun curiously.

"We need to do this quickly! We can catch them off guard if we attack now. After all, we are always on the defensive side against them!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Well said. I will trust your judgment. I know that you did this with our victory in mind!" Ren Long said honestly.

The Heavenly Dragon Empire had never attacked the Netherworld Imperial City before as they have always been on the losing side of the battle, if it wasn't because of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City would have fallen to the Netherworld Empire a long time ago.

"I can't wait to destroy the Netherworld Empire, for this would be a big feat for us!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"That is true! Other empires would hold our name in respect after all this!" Ren Long said confidently.

The Heavens Immersing Ancient Ruins, which was called Heavenly Clouds Palace at the moment, was flying towards the Netherworld Empire's imperial City steadily.

The people inside were preparing themselves for the battle in excitement.

The Heavenly Clouds Palace's speed wasn't fast, but it wasn't slow either, thus the news of the flying palace advancing towards the Netherworld Empire was heard by the Imperial Preceptor and the Netherworld Emperor.

The Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor were undoubtedly shocked to hear this news as they never expected the other side to take the initiative.

This act was very different from the usual situation, this Heavenly Clouds Mansion sure was bold to attack the Netherworld Empire like this!

"Is this Heavenly Clouds Mansion for real? Why are they attacking us this soon? I am sure the decision maker inside the Spirit Race was an idiot!" The Imperial Preceptor said annoyedly.

"Send the Flying Hawk army! You will personally lead them! I don't want to hear about your failure once more!" Netherworld Emperor said to the Imperial Preceptor coldly.

"Take the rest of the Army General with you, but remember, no more failure!" The Netherworld Emperor added coldly.

"Yes, your majesty! I will not fail again!" The Imperial Preceptor said solemnly.

The Imperial Preceptor immediately walked out of the palace to prepare the Flying Hawk army to intercept the flying palace. He was determined to redeem himself this time, but unfortunately for him, he lacked the critical information regarding the enemy's power!

He didn't know that the Heavenly Clouds Mansion was led by Yi Tianyun himself!

Not long after, as many as thousands Flying Hawk assembled, this was a massive army!

With the Flying Hawk's speed and flexibility, they were an absolute powerhouse in the air!

"Mansion Lord! I received news that the Imperial preceptor would personally intercept us soon, he comes with a thousand Flying Hawk Army and two other Army Generals!" A guard said toward Yi Tianyun.

"Nice, our plan works sooner than expected!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked to himself, he couldn't wait to finally beat the Imperial Preceptor to a pulp!

Chapter 426

The Netherworld Empire was cautious, and this time the Netherworld Emperor mustered all the Empire's strength to defend against this new enemy. He ordered the Imperial Preceptor and two Army Generals to fend off the new enemy with the Flying Hawk Army at their disposal. It was no wonder that no enemy could ever reach the Netherworld Imperial City!

"Mansion Lord, what would we do now?" An elder asked Yi Tianyun worriedly. But Yi Tianyun only smiled and stood from his chair.

"It's okay, it is time for me to make my move as well!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

The people who heard Yi Tianyun's words just now were startled as if they heard it wrong, Yi Tianyun wanted to deal with a thousand enemies alone!

However, as it was Yi Tianyun's decision, they chose to remain silent and did not question Yi Tianyun's decision, they had faith that Yi Tianyun would actually pull it off somehow!

Yi Tianyun walked toward the palace's door and looked over to the incoming enemies coldly. He then opened the Sin Shop and quickly bought the Sword Master Suit!

Sword Master Suit: Required level 30 to wear.

Effect: the wearer could use and control the sword array, all swords within the High-Grade Spirit Tool rank in ten miles radius could be controlled by the wearer, and can control up to 10.000 Swords at a time!

Price: 100.000 Sin Points.

"Exchange the Sword Master Suit!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

'DING!'

'Successfully bought the Sword Master Suit, deducting 100.000 Sin Points!'

"Equip the Sword Master Suit!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

In an instant, his clothes changed into a thin white coat, the coat fluttered as the wind blew, Yi Tianyun looked super elegant!

The people standing near him couldn't take their eyes off of Yi Tianyun's figure that suddenly became much more confident.

Yi Tianyun then raised his hands and closed his eyes. He could feel a large amount of weapons in the city below the palace, he immediately tried to control all of them to fly towards the palace as his weapons.

At the same time, Imperial Preceptor and his army were closing in, the people inside the Heavenly Clouds Palace became anxious as they didn't see Yi Tianyun did anything to defend the palace, they were sitting duck there, as there was no place to escape if the Imperial Preceptor arrived and started to attack them!

"We are close enough! Shoot them down from the air!" Imperial Preceptor commanded the Flying Hawk Soldier to Attack!

"Sir, yes sir!" the Soldiers said at the same time. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The flying hawk army began to bombard the Heavenly Clouds Palace with their longbow from afar relentlessly.

There was no doubt that they were the best army that the Netherworld Empire had!

Furthermore, the huge palace in the sky was a foolish move in the soldier's eye.

Everyone knew that the bigger the target was, the easier for them to aim and shoot.

So, the Flying Hawk Army was more than happy to attack Heavenly Clouds Palace while they thought that there would be no consequence for them to attack the palace.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun has connected with almost 10.000 Spirit Tool rank swords from 10 miles radius, he also got the weapons from the Flying Hawk Army in front of him!

He immediately controlled the 10.000 Spirit tool rank swords in front of the Heavenly Clouds Palace, shocking everyone who saw the scene enveloping in front of their eyes.

"Ten Thousand Sword Barrage!" Yi Tianyun shouted as the swords began to fly toward the flying hawk army at a great speed.

Yi Tianyun opened his eyes, and his eyes glowed brightly as he controlled the swords precisely.

The Sword Master Suit, unfortunately, didn't enhance any of his statuses, but it was not a problem as the sword was thrown from a Void Spirit Stage Expert!

So, the swords under Yi Tianyun's control traveled with a speed that most cultivators couldn't see, making them too late to react!

"Fall back!" The Imperial Preceptor shouted as he watched in horror that his army was being annihilated!

The soldiers began to fall from the sky as their hawks died from the sword barrage that Yi Tianyun hurled.

In a short time, Yi Tianyun had successfully killed half of the Flying Hawk Army!

Yi Tianyun smirked as he received quite a lot of Exp, but those cultivators were too weak for him, so the amount of Exp that he got failed to satisfy him!

The rest of the people from the Heavenly Clouds Mansion stared at Yi Tianyun in awe!

This technique was too powerful!

Chapter 427

10.000 swords of Spirit Grades were low in terms of power, but it could swarm the enemy and pierce through their defense consistently!

It was only because of the two Army Generals and Imperial Preceptor that some of the Flying Hawk Army could survive Yi Tianyun's attack.

But even though they could defend against Yi Tianyun's attack, it was still proven difficult for the three of them to consistently defend against 10.000 swords at the same time!

They began to destroy the swords within their attack range because that was the only way to stop it from attacking again!

"This has no end! This martial art does not make any sense!" Imperial Preceptor said while panting from fatigue.

"Damn it! At this rate, the Flying Hawk Army would be annihilated!" One of the Army General said nervously.

They began to lose the Flying Hawk Army that was under their protection as the swords were too much for them to handle!

"Yeah, they are fragile, but they are preventing us from saving the army!" The other Army General said annoyedly.

This is the reason that Yi Tianyun didn't use the Sword Master Suit up until this moment, it didn't work against a small number of enemies, it was better to use it against a massive amount of enemies with low cultivation like this!

Yi Tianyun believed that a more advanced suit that was better than Sword Master Suit would appear in his Sin Points later, but he guessed that probably he wouldn't have enough Sin Points to buy it!

Fortunately for Yi Tianyun, Sword Master Suit doesn't require him to use his own weapons, the current 10.000 Swords that he controlled belonged to the enemies and the city nearby, unless the swords were destroyed completely, it could still be controlled by the Suit's effect.

Yi Tianyun then equipped the Ice-Cold Divine Bow and quickly used Ice Cold Fury while aiming his attack at the Army General, who was located the farthest from the Imperial Preceptor.

Once he was sure that his shot would hit, Yi Tianyun smirked and released his attack!

This Ice-Cold Fury held 60 Million Combat Power in it, if the opponent did not see this attack coming, they surely would suffer a grievous injury!

But as he shot the powerful arrow, the Ice-Cold Divine Bow cracked once again!

This was the sign that the Bow was reaching its limit, Yi Tianyun must upgrade it in order to fix it!

After all, the Ice-Cold Divine Bow's level was already too far behind his own level!

The Ice-Cold Fury traveled through the air towards the unsuspecting Army General, but as it got close, the Army General sensed incoming danger, and once he looked around, he finally noticed a powerful Ice-Cold Arrow was aimed towards him. He quickly blocked the incoming arrow with his big hammer, but it was too late! It wasn't an attack that he could block! 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝒓𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As the Ice-Cold Fury hit the hammer, the cold immediately spread in the air, freezing the Army General, dozens of Flying Hawk Army, and the swords that Yi Tianyun controlled!

Every single thing that was frozen in the air immediately fell to the ground and broke into a million pieces as soon as it hit the ground!

Yi Tianyun successfully killed one of the Netherworld Empire's Army Generals effortlessly!

In the distance, the Imperial Preceptor instantly turned pale!

He recognized the attack that killed the Army General just now!

It was the same kind of attack that he blocked while fighting against the Heavenly Dragon Empire recently!

Prince Yi of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!

"It's him!"

Why was he here?𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

The Imperial Preceptor immediately realized that he would have no chance of winning if it was truly Prince Yi of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!

He tried to look at the person in the doorway of the flying palace, but the man he saw wasn't the same as Prince Yi of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but he felt the same kind of aura and the same kind of attack bothered him!

The Imperial Preceptor immediately suspected that Prince Yi must be the one behind all this, and thus he immediately shouted for all the Flying Hawk Army to retreat to the Imperial City!

The Imperial Preceptor didn't have any intention to wait and save the Flying Hawk Army, and so he burned his Blood Essence and flew away as fast as he could, escaping from the powerful enemy!

The Army General, who saw that the Imperial Preceptor had already fled the battle, decided to quickly flee as well!

Although the Flying Hawk Army was the strongest army that the Netherworld Empire had, he didn't have any intention to save them either!

As soon as the two highest cultivators left the Flying Hawk Army, Yi Tianyun easily killed the Flying Hawk Army, who had lost their leader!

Yi Tianyun completely annihilated 1.000 Flying Hawk Army ruthlessly, not leaving even one of them alive!

Chapter 428

Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor and the last Army General was running away, Yi Tianyun put away his Ice-Cold Divine Bow and let them get away for the moment.

After all, he was going to destroy the Imperial City of the Netherworld Empire!

"Let them run for now! We will get them at their own base next time!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

Everyone inside Heavenly Clouds Palace was shocked to see the scene developed outside, they didn't know that Yi Tianyun was this strong, killing a thousand soldiers all by himself!

Even some of the Heaven's Top Sect's elders began to wonder whether Yi Tianyun really was the Prince of Heavenly Dragon Empire.

Yi Tianyun didn't say anything to confirm their wonderment, as he found nothing good in bragging.

But one thing for sure was that all the people inside the Heavenly Clouds Palace were convinced that they would win this war!

However, Ren Long wanted to brag a little.

"I am the current Emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire here to announce that Yi Tianyun was indeed the one and only Prince of the Heavenly Dragon Empire!" He said excitedly.

With Ren Long's confirmation, the look of shock in everyone's face returned, they never expected to have a Mansion Lord who could shake an empire like this!

All of a sudden, the prestige point for Heavenly Clouds Mansion exploded!

This was all because they finally believed that Yi Tianyun was truly powerful!

They began to look at Yi Tianyun in awe and utmost respect!

After all, their Mansion Lord has repelled the Netherworld Empire's army twice in a row!

"This is truly the time for the young to shine! I believe the Spirit King would certainly bring us to glory and destroy the Netherworld Empire once and for all!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said confidently.

"Yes! Long live Spirit King Yi Tianyun!" The rest of the Spirit Race people started to chant Yi Tianyun's name in excitement.

They all knew that the first step to glory has already been fulfilled!

With every chant of his name, Yi Tianyun also noticed that his Prestige Point kept increasing!

Shi Xueyun, who was standing near Yi Tianyun, showed a slight hint of a smile at Yi Tianyun's achievement, she looked at Yi Tianyun with eyes full of praise.

Yi Tianyun, who was once a boy without any Blood Qi, yet now Yi Tianyun has transformed into an expert that she couldn't even fathom how powerful he was!

"Thank you very much for everyone's trust in me, but we must not be blinded by confidence and negligence! This time, we wouldn't fight them within our own comfort zone. This time, we will attack them within their own territory! It means that there would be many things that could not fall within our plan! Our first plan was to disable as many Great Arrays as we can as soon as we enter the Imperial City, so keep your heads up! Don't fall for their trap!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly.

Even though Yi Tianyun had the power, he wasn't someone who would get something like this over his head, he knew that a lot of things could go wrong if he underestimated the enemy, so he couldn't relax while he was within enemy border like this!

Everyone nodded and quickly calmed down and became serious, but they still struggled to hold their own excitement.

There was no wonder left in their heart about why Yi Tianyun was so bold as to wage war against the Netherworld Empire, it was all because he had the power to do so!

When the morale inside Heavenly Clouds Mansion increased, the situation inside the Netherworld Empire Imperial City was the opposite of Yi Tianyun's current situation.

The people inside the Netherworld Empire Imperial City have heard the news about the Imperial Preceptor's loss, and they were shocked to hear that the enemy had destroyed all Flying Hawk Army without leaving any!

The prestige of the Netherworld Empire has fallen to the lowest point, many citizens and cultivators had decided to leave the Imperial City and evacuate as they knew that they would be killed if they stayed inside the Imperial City!

There was no doubt in their mind that the Heavenly Dragon Empire would take the Heavenly Border Continent, and there was also no doubt in their mind that the Heavenly Dragon Empire would cleanse the continent from any Netherworld Empire's followers.

In the meantime, the Imperial Preceptor rushed back to the Netherworld Imperial City, but he didn't dare to face the Netherworld Emperor, there was no doubt in his mind that the Netherworld Emperor would kill him if he showed up without any result once again!

"I know now that the enemy could control thousands of swords, that martial art is definitely out of this world! I have never seen any martial arts like that before! Such nonsense makes things harder for me!" The Imperial Preceptor said furiously.

At the same time, the Netherworld Emperor had heard the news of the Imperial Preceptor's defeat, and now he was watching the Imperial Preceptor in anger.

"I never expected the Imperial Preceptor would actually lose the prior battle, but now as I heard it twice, I want to face this enemy myself! They have achieved what none could achieve in a long time! I can't wait to see what they will do once they arrive at this imperial city!" Netherworld Emperor said coldly.

The Imperial Preceptor began to activate many Great Arrays that the Netherworld Imperial City had; he was a Divine Rune Grandmaster, making it easy for him to activate and control many Great Arrays at once. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"Now, come! Let us see what you can do against these many traps!" Imperial Preceptor said with a smirk on his face.

Chapter 429

After the Flying Hawk Army was annihilated, Heavenly Clouds Palace continued to fly towards the Netherworld Empire Imperial City without having any blockade.

No one dared to block Yi Tianyun's path after seeing him destroying the 1.000 unit Flying Hawk Army single-handedly. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

Yi Tianyun then called back all the Spirit Swords that he controlled and sighed in relief, the Sword Master Suit was indeed powerful, but he needed to conserve his Crazy Points.

Yi Tianyun then looked at the pile of Spirit Swords in the Hall and couldn't help but think to upgrade all of them later!

He didn't care that the weapons were in fact stolen weapons, as it was from the enemy's territory!

But it was a shame that the suit was only capable of controlling swords, but it was understandable since the suit was called Sword Master Suit!

He quickly checked his Sin Points, and as he predicted, on top of the Sword Master Suit, there was another suit that was correlated with the Sword Master Suit!

'Sword Saint Suit: Level 50 Equipment.

Can use the Sword Saint Array! Controlling all the Long Swords within the High Grade Sacred Tool Rank in a 10 miles radius. Can control up to 10.000 Long Swords. Sword Saint Array consumes 100.000 Cps.

Price: 1.000.000 Sin Points.'

His guess was correct, the new Suit in Sin Shop will only appear after buying the available one!

With that in mind, Yi Tianyun wondered how strong the equipment after buying the Evil God Suit and the Sword Saint Suit would be!

"It seems the reason for buying out this suit keeps appearing!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

"Prince Yi! How did you control that many Spirit Swords?" Ren Long asked as he came closer towards Yi Tianyun.

Ren Long's question attracted many curious eyes from the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's side.

"I couldn't really explain it myself, but it requires a large amount of Spiritual Energy, it also requires a certain Martial Arts!" Yi Tianyun said as he rubbed his chin awkwardly. He couldn't say that it was all because of the suit that he wore!

"Can you teach the disciple this Martial Art? If you can, they will become so much stronger!" Ren Long said in anticipation!

Other people in the vicinity also nodded their heads as they agreed with Ren Long's words.

"Uh, I hate to say this but, I can't teach this Martial Art! In fact, I think I am the only one who can use this Martial Art!" Yi Tianyun said with a slight smile.

What he said was the truth!

If it was not because of the Sword Master Suit, he wouldn't be able to use the Sword Master Array either!

Ren Long nodded and smiled at Yi Tianyun, he didn't pester Yi Tianyun to share his knowledge, after all, people have their own secrets!

But some people didn't believe what Yi Tianyun had said, but they didn't voice their disbelief as it wasn't their place to say anything, after all the people inside the Heavenly Clouds Palace right now have the utmost loyalty toward Yi Tianyun!

But no matter what happened, they knew that Yi Tianyun was overwhelmingly strong!

They felt that if Yi Tianyun was here with them, they wouldn't lose any battle!

Even if the Netherworld Empire was strong enough to hold Yi Tianyun's attack, they knew that at the end of the day, the Netherworld Empire would lose something greatly!

Yi Tianyun then quickly commanded them to get ready as the flying palace was nearly reaching Netherworld Empire Imperial City, a place that was being said to be unbreachable!

Sure enough, after all of them prepared for battle, they looked outside, and there it was, the Netherworld Empire Imperial City and all its glory!

The people inside Heavenly Clouds Palace could sense that the city was intimidating, even though it was no different from all other cities!

"Ready for battle in the Netherworld Empire Imperial City?" Yi Tianyun asked loudly.

He was excited about this battle, for he hoped to level up once or twice!

But Yi Tianyun received many nods as his answer as the people on his side were too unnerved to speak!

The people on Yi Tianyun's side knew that they weren't as powerful as Yi Tianyun and so they knew that one little careless move could cost them their lives!

On the other side of the battle, the Imperial Preceptor was holding onto a Demon Staff. He was staring at the flying palace with a smirk on his face, "Come to the city if you dare! If you could deal with all of my traps, then I really would kill myself!" He said evilly.

The next moment, he slammed the ground, and the Netherworld Empire Imperial City's wall began to rumble, and suddenly, a huge black great array appeared with a bang!

A dark column of light rose through the skies and slammed the underside of the Heavenly Clouds Palace!

Chapter 430

A dark Great Array suddenly emerged from the ground beneath the flying palace, bombarding the Heavenly Clouds Palace from below with a black energy ball!

The huge flying palace was easily hit!

The dark Great Array kept following the flying palace movement, and eventually stopped the Heavenly Clouds Palace's advance!

"You are too reckless, how could you think that a big palace could enter the city without any resistance! I will shoot you down myself!" The Imperial Preceptor said to himself with his evil smirk that it became more apparent as he saw that his plan was working.

The Imperial Preceptor constantly controlled the Great Array around the city and relentlessly shot the flying palace in order to knock it down!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun understood that he was trapped in the vicinity of the Imperial City to a tee!

Yi Tianyun also realized that if he forced his way in stubbornly like this, the palace wouldn't be able to hold on for long!

"The Imperial Preceptor really is cunning! He escaped earlier just to prepare a trap like this!" Yi Tianyun said as he looked at the Netherworld Imperial City in annoyance.

"Spirit King! I know that these attacks that the Netherworld Empire has thrown towards us are not that powerful, but I am afraid it has already chipped away 50% of our defensive walls!" Old Ancestor said nervously.

This time it wasn't the Jade Spirit Stone that became the problem, but the great array itself!

It couldn't withstand the constant attack from the Netherworld Empire, Yi Tianyun also knew that if the Great Array was broken, then it would be hard to fix!

Everyone looked at Yi Tianyun in anticipation, they hoped Yi Tianyun would have a way to overcome the current situation!

"Rest assured! I have already expected this outcome. Otherwise, the Imperial Preceptor will not choose to escape considering he was humiliated in the previous battle!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

He then raised his hands, and a huge stone tablet releasing a circle of light suddenly appeared, at the same time, the circle of light suppressed the Dark Great Array.

As a result, it could no longer shoot dark energy balls to the flying palace.

This is the Tyrant Stone Tablet that he got from the Spirit Sanctuary!

Everyone looked at the Tyrant Stone Tablet in awe, especially the Spirit Race!

The Spirit Race knew that the Tyrant Stone Tablet was able to nullify the effect of any Great Array within Master Level Divine Rune Grade!

Even though the Imperial Preceptor was a Divine Rune Grand Master, that didn't mean that every Great Array that he made would be of the Grand Master Grade!

Grand Master Grade Great Array was hard to make, and the risk was too high if he somehow messed the Divine Rune up!

"I almost forgot that the Tyrant Stone Tablet was in the Spirit King's possession! No wonder you look so calm!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said with a smile on his face.𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Well, they were well prepared, but so was I!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"I will not let you guys die under my watch!" Yi Tianyun added warmly.

Everyone became excited as they heard Yi Tianyun's words!

They began to exert confidence as they knew that Yi Tianyun would always have their back! 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"What the hell! This is the Tyrant Stone Tablet's effect! Don't tell me someone among them can control it?!" Imperial Preceptor said confusedly, he was surprised to see all his Dark Great Array was suddenly nullified by a circle of light that came from the flying palace.

He gritted his teeth as the Tyrant Stone Tablet was the only thing that he wanted from the Spirit Race!

When he was inside their sanctuary, he wasted a full day just searching for the stone, but he couldn't find it!

He never expected that it had fallen into someone else's hands!

"Imperial Preceptor! What should we do now? Did we have to order the archer squad to shoot them down?" The last Army General said curiously.

"Did you really think that we could win against them if they already got that close to us?" The Imperial Preceptor said annoyedly.

The Last Army General began to think of other options, he knew that he couldn't mobilize the remaining army because the enemy could control 10.000 Spirit Swords earlier!

He knew that it would only be a waste of manpower!

"Did you have any other idea, Imperial Preceptor? We couldn't just sit idly as they got closer!" The Last Army General said nervously.

"The Tyrant Stone Tablet only affects the Great Array within the Master Grade Great Array! If we use a Grand Master Grade Great Array, it wouldn't be a problem! Let them be for now. I will activate the Grand Master Grade Great Array as soon as they get close enough to it!" Imperial Preceptor said calculatedly.

Heavenly Clouds Palace continued flying towards the Netherworld Empire Imperial City while nullifying the rest of the traps that the Imperial Preceptor had laid out for them.

When they got close enough to the Imperial City, the Imperial Preceptor smirked, but he was suddenly confused as he saw that the flying palace began to descend and land right in front of the Imperial City's front gate!

Yi Tianyun raised his hands, and 10.000 Spirit Swords suddenly floated in the air and with his hand sign, Yi Tianyun immediately send the swords towards the soldiers on the city wall, because the distance he was in, the soldier was immediately massacred by the huge amount of Spirit Swords that was coming towards them in a great speed!

"This is not good!" The Imperial Preceptor said, he then released a black light, and he slammed it to the ground, and suddenly, a huge great array and a black aura appeared in the city limits!

Suddenly, the aura from the great array began to condense and form a giant dragon.

Yi Tianyun immediately tried to attack the dragon with his Spirit Swords but the scale was too tough!

The Spirit Swords began to shatter one after another as it hit the hard scale of the dragon!

Yi Tianyun immediately recalled the Spirit Sword, only claiming the life of the City Guards within the wall area.

"This is a great array on a Grand Master Level! The famous Dark Dragon Great Array!" Yi Tianyun said as he observed the Dark Dragon, he suddenly remembered something, and he got an idea on how to block this Dark Dragon!

Chapter 431

The rumor that the Netherworld Empire had the Dark Dragon Great Array has been heard before, but nobody has ever seen it!

But surely, everyone could see for themselves that the Great Array indeed existed, and it was as powerful as the rumor told!

'Dark Dragon Great Array: Grand Master Grade Great Array. Exude a Dark Smoke from the ground and turn it into a Dark Dragon Phantom Shadow!

The Dark Dragon Phantom Shadow could spray Netherworld Fire as its breath attack. Has the same amount of power as 2nd Layer Void Spirit Stage expert! Combat Power: 37.000.000. Weakness: Destroy the Great Array, and the dragon would vanish or use a strong, gentle Fire to burn it down!'

This Dark Dragon summoned by the Dark Dragon Great Array was far more powerful than the one that Yi Tianyun summoned with Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure!

But in his defense, he hasn't leveled up to Void Spirit Stage yet at that time, and the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure was also capable of protecting the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City, while this Dark Dragon Great Array couldn't do that!

"We are surely fighting the enemy with their full advantages! No wonder the Imperial Preceptor escaped towards the City once he learned that he would be losing the previous battle!" Ren Long said with a dignified look on his face.

"Spirit King, let me break the array for you! If the array is broken, the dragon would be no more! If we don't do that, the Dark Dragon would soon go on rampage, and I'm afraid that we would receive so many casualties!" The Old Ancestor said confidently.

This is like the dragon summoned from the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, it will always attack the enemies in its surrounding, as it would always regenerate once it was destroyed! 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"No, I have another plan for this dragon, breaking the array would take too long!" Yi Tianyun said confidently with a smile on his face.

Everyone was confused about Yi Tianyun's words, everyone began to wonder what Yi Tianyun would do in the next moment?

Will he transform into the Evil Dragon?

But everyone was once again surprised that Yi Tianyun didn't do anything except wait for the Dark Dragon to get close.

"Let me give you the taste of what your Heavenly Dragon has caused me! Let me see you fight against an immortal enemy!" Imperial Preceptor said while smirking evilly. He thought that he wouldn't need to partake in the battle himself, for he already had the Dark Dragon on his side!

Everyone was ready to stand up against the Dark Dragon, but Yi Tianyun quickly told them to hold their ground.

"Stand back, I will defeat it myself!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

Yi Tianyun then moved forward and raised his hands, the next moment, a fire in the shape of a small flower shot out from Yi Tianyun's hands with a slow speed.

The fire was very beautiful, but everyone only vaguely felt the heat from it, making everyone a little bit worried that the fire wouldn't be enough.

The soldiers from the Netherworld Empire started to laugh at Yi Tianyun as the small fire was too insignificant, it wouldn't do anything to the huge Dark Dragon!𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

They were confident that the Dark Dragon would be invincible as it was immortal!

"Hahaha, he has already given up! What is he thinking, attacking the Dark Dragon with a puny little fire like that?!" Imperial Preceptor said while laughing profusely.

The Dark Dragon then swallowed the fire, but nothing happened, but instead, it was still moving towards Yi Tianyun steadily.

The Old Ancestor and Ren Long hesitated for a little bit, but they quickly moved forward to save Yi Tianyun, even though they were considerably weaker than Yi Tianyun, they must try to save him out of loyalty!

But the next scene that happened in front of them clearly surprised not only both of them but also everyone else in the vicinity!

The Dark Dragon was suddenly burned!

The whole body of the Dark Dragon started to catch on fire.

After squirming and roaring for a while, the Dark Dragon suddenly stopped moving, and soon after, the fire died, and the Dark Dragon was left as ashes!

The ashes of the Dark Dragon began to scatter by the wind, and soon, it also caused the fire as the ashes caught onto trees, buildings and even people!

The Imperial City soon turned into a sea of fire!

The Immortal Fire was the cause of this, Immortal Fire was a strong, gentle fire, the exact weakness of the Dark Dragon!

The Immortal Fire, as its name suggested, was nearly impossible to extinguish!

Even if it was just a cinder, it had the power to burn anything that came into contact with ashes!

"See, I don't need help against that weak dragon." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled and walked forward.

Everyone on the scene was still too stunned to say anything or do anything for that matter, as Yi Tianyun's power was really mind blowing.

"How is this possible! The Netherworld Fire was supposed to burn anything! How can it lose to a puny fire like that?!" Imperial Preceptor said as he looked at Yi Tianyun in disbelief.

The Immortal Fire and the Netherworld Fire were two kinds of fires completely opposite of each other, meaning that the Immortal Fire would always win against the Netherworld Fire!

Yi Tianyun was too lazy to explain how his small fire could burn down a huge dragon to ashes, but Yi Tianyun immediately used his Heavenly Eyes instead.

He saw the Dark Dragon Great Array in front of him, he studied the Divine Rune that made the Dark Dragon Great Array and found it not as hard as he first thought to fix it!

But the only thing that he had to do was to destroy the Great Array, which was the only remaining line of defense the Netherworld Empire had!

Chapter 432

Although the Dark Dragon was easily burned, the Dark Dragon Great Array was still standing, but sadly, it has already reached its limit!

The Dark Dragon Great Array was far weaker than the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure as it was only able to control one dragon at a time, and so at this moment, the Imperial Preceptor was completely screwed!

"Damn it! This is all just because of a small fire!" The Imperial Preceptor said furiously.

He didn't expect his favorite Dark Dragon Great Array would be destroyed that easily!

Imperial Preceptor then tried once again to create another Dark Dragon, but he noticed that the Dark Aura that was generated from the Dark Dragon Great Array wasn't as thick as the previous one, resulting in slower condensation to create another Dark Dragon.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun already activated his Heavenly Eyes, actively searching for the array core of the Dark Dragon Great Array.

If he finds this Array Core, the Great Array would be destroyed simply by destroying the Core!

"One of the Core is on your left-hand side!" Ye Qingxuan's voice was heard from afar.

Yi Tianyun immediately moves towards the direction that Ye Qingxuan has shouted, he knows that Ye Qingxuan must have activated her own Heavenly Eyes to search for the Array Core!

The Old Ancestor was also doing the same, he also found one of the cores by himself and began to break it!

Although he wasn't as strong as he used to be, at his peak, he was still a Divine Rune Grand Master!

He could break an Array core of a fragile Great Array like this easily!

Yi Tianyun was satisfied that the people around him were doing their part as efficiently as they could be, because of Ye Qingxuan and the Old Ancestor's help, Yi Tianyun could find almost all the Array Core in a short amount of time!

But the Dark Clouds began to form again, and this time, the Dark Dragon that was created by the Dark Dragon Great Array wasn't as strong as the previous one, only at 1st Level Void Spirit Stage!

The combat power also dropped dramatically. This is one of the disadvantages of a great array like this. Once it was broken, the effect would also drastically drop!

But this is not the case for Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, it wouldn't affect its performance by only breaking it down unless it was destroyed!

But the problem is, a divine tool was impossible to destroy!

Yi Tianyun threw the Immortal Fires once again, burning the new Dark Dragon to ashes immediately.

The death of the second Dark Dragon caused another series of cracks on the Dark Dragon Great Array integrity, reducing its effect once again.

The Imperial Preceptor was getting more impatient, he was completely furious as the Dark Dragon Great Array that he held dear was easily defeated like this!

It couldn't even kill anyone from the enemy's side!

He thought that he would be battling Prince Yi with advantages inside the Netherworld Empire Imperial City, but it turns out he didn't have any advantages at all!

"Imperial Preceptor! What should we do now? We could no longer rely on the Dark Dragon Great Array, it would be destroyed at this rate!" The Last Army General said nervously.

After all, he has already promised their victory to the Great Emperor, if they lost this battle, the Great Emperor would certainly kill them both!

"The only option left is to enter the battle ourselves!" Imperial Preceptor said solemnly, he immediately activated all the Divine Rune on his body and released all his Spiritual Energy.

He was ready to fight Yi Tianyun head on!

This fighting technique of the Imperial Preceptor was the same technique that the Old Ancestor of the Divine Rune Mansion once used.

They portrayed the Divine Rune on their own body, resulting in a complete burst of power!

This also meant that the Imperial Preceptor was at his wits end.

There was nothing else he could do to win the battle against Yi Tianyun without using this technique!

After all, if he lost here, the Great Emperor would kill him personally!

The last Army General was also prepared to fight, he burned his blood qi, and together with the Imperial Preceptor, both consumed a blood divine pill, this pill would greatly reduce their cultivation after the battle in exchange of a power burst! 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

They risked it all, after all, it was still better than dying!

The next moment, the Imperial Preceptor immediately rushed toward Yi Tianyun with his Demon Staff, and he also absorbed the essence of the Dark Dragon Great Array as he flew and suddenly turned into a Dark Dragon himself and clashed with Yi Tianyun!

The sky was immediately filled with dark clouds and menacing aura, compared to the previous Dark Dragon, this one was the strongest!

With the Imperial Preceptor's base combat power amplified, plus the Dark Dragon transformation, he reached 98.000.000 Combat power!

This was far exceeding the limits he once showed against Yi Tianyun!

Spirit Race Old Ancestor and the rest were unnerved before this Dark Dragon, but Yi Tianyun smiled and laughed as he looked over to the Dark Dragon.

"Dragon God Fist!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he punched the Dark Dragon right on its head.

A huge fist appeared out of nowhere and smashed the Dark Dragon down to the ground, the Dark Dragon was slowly dissipating as it lay on the ground unmoved!

Instant Kill!

Yi Tianyun killed the Imperial Dragon over the Dark Dragon enchantment with one hit!

Yi Tianyun immediately looked at his Status Window and saw that his Combat Power had increased exponentially!

He was currently at 176.000.000 Combat Power!

Chapter 433

The Imperial Preceptor was smashed hard against the ground, stunning him with his bones all broken!

This was all the result of Yi Tianyun's 176 million Combat Power!

With his Crazy Mode multiplying his combat power by 16 and he also recently leveled up to 1st Level Void Spirit Stage, he achieved 176 million Combat Power while not using his full power!

The imperial Preceptor was dying, and he didn't know what to say after receiving this overpowered attack from Yi Tianyun.

Everyone felt the same way, they didn't know what to say after seeing the scene enveloping in front of them.

The number two person in the Netherworld Empire was defeated with one punch!

People started to think that Yi Tianyun could be this powerful, suggesting that Yi Tianyun's cultivation technique must be some overpowered technique too!

People wondered if Yi Tianyun had already achieved the Spirit King Stage as he could defeat a 6th Level Void Spirit Stage Imperial Preceptor so easily. 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Ren Long looked at Yi Tianyun in disbelief, he knew that earlier, Yi Tianyun only could compete with the Imperial Preceptor after transforming into a dragon, but this time he could defeat the Imperial Preceptor with only one punch!

He wondered how Yi Tianyun could cultivate that quickly.

"How can he easily cultivate like this? I am sure that it was a tie between Yi Tianyun and the Imperial Preceptor earlier, but this time he could one-shot him? I would make sure to ask for his advice about cultivating later for sure!" Ren Long said as he got envious of Yi Tianyun's cultivation speed.

Shi Xueyun was already used to Yi Tianyun's overwhelming cultivation speed and therefore didn't question him much about it, and she also let him deal with the enemy until he said otherwise.

The next moment, Yi Tianyun walked towards the Imperial Preceptor and coldly stared at him.

"Now, I win! Quite easy, I'd say!" Yi Tianyun said coldly, and he immediately stabbed the Imperial Preceptor's chest with the long sword that he took lying around his feet.

'DING!'

'Successfully killed the Imperial Preceptor!'

'Reward: 133.000.000 Exp, 60.000 Cps, 10.000 Sps, 10.000 Divine Rune Mastery Points, Netherworld Divine Palm Technique, Netherworld Divine Art, Divine Rune Golden Body Secret Art, Descending Dragon Banner, Dark Dragon Great Array, Netherworld Demon Staff (High Grade Sacred Tool), Netherworld Divine Armor, Netherworld Boots, Netherworld Soul (Rare), Netherworld Bone (Rare).'

The total exp that Yi Tianyun got was completely off the chart! But that was expected as Yi Tianyun used all his Exp Cards, multiplying his Exp Gain by 116!

It was the effect of X50 Exp Card, x30 Exp Card, X20 Exp Card and plus the X16 from the Crazy Mode's effect!

He also wanted to buy the X10 Exp Card and x5 Exp Card, but because he had already bought a bunch of it before, the price was not worth it anymore!

Yi Tianyun smiled happily as he got a bunch of Exp, the possibility that he could level up here made it more exciting for him.

"The Imperial Preceptor is dead!" People from Yi Tianyun's side shouted excitedly.

They cheered as they knew that Yi Tianyun defeated the number two person in the Netherworld Empire quite easily!

While at the same time, people from the Netherworld Empire were still shocked!

Some of them quickly reported back to the Netherworld Emperor about the defeat of the Imperial Preceptor, as there was no way that they could win without the emperor joining the battle himself!

"Great Emperor! The Imperial Preceptor is dead, and the Dark Dragon Great Array was destroyed along with his defeat, I believe that you are the only one capable of facing the enemy!" The soldier said as he reported back to the Netherworld Emperor.

The Netherworld Emperor sighed as he knew that everything was a mess now.

The death of the Imperial Preceptor would cause a negative impact on the soldiers outside, and he was sure that his soldiers were in chaos too!

Meanwhile, Yi Tianyun was already confident that the destruction of the Netherworld Empire was already at hand!

"Let's go, people! To the Netherworld Empire, Imperial City!" Yi Tianyun shouted to everyone from his side.

Everyone from Heavenly Clouds Mansion rushed out of the Palace and quickly walked behind Yi Tianyun towards the center of Imperial City.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun quickly activated the Dark Dragon Great Array that he got from the Imperial Preceptor earlier and summoned the Dark Dragon to defend his people from any Netherworld Empire's attack!

The soldiers from the Netherworld Empire were overjoyed as they thought that someone from their side was controlling the Dark Dragon Great Array, but as they cheered, the realization quickly hit them!

The Dark Dragon was attacking the soldier of the Netherworld Empire!

The soldiers began to scream as they were burned by the Netherworld Fire that the Dark Dragon spewed while many of them were trying to get out of the city, abandoning the Imperial City that they were supposed to guard!

Chapter 434

'DING!' 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

'Successfully killed the Netherworld General!'

'Reward: 53.000.000 Exp, 18.000 Cps, 1.500 Sps, Bursting Flame First Martial Art, Clouds Power Sword Secret Art, Heavenly Vertical Jump, 100.000 Exp Pill, Heavenly Doom Sword, Heavenly SilkWorm Armor.'

'DING!'

"Successfully killed the Netherworld Empire's soldiers!"

'Reward: 5.100.000 Exp, 16.000 Cps, 1.300 Sps, . . .'

Yi Tianyun was attacking the Netherworld Imperial City all out!

Not only using the Dark Dragon Great Array, but he also summoned all the Dragons that he had tamed!

The Red Dragon, Black Dragon, and a bunch of Earth Dragons!

They all rushed to the Imperial City's guards and killed them as soon as they saw the guards.

The two giant dragons that he controlled almost broke through to the Void Spirit Stage, if there was no Void Spirit Expert blocking their path, Yi Tianyun believed that the dragons would be unstoppable!

Both sides looked at Yi Tianyun, bewildered!

The number of dragons that Yi Tianyun had was too much to be considered normal!

The enemy quickly scattered as they wanted to find an escape route out of the city, but this time, their enemy wasn't only Yi Tianyun!

Shi Xueyun and the other members of Heavenly Clouds Palace also scattered and started killing the Imperial City Guards one by one!

The Netherworld Empire Imperial City quickly fell as the screams filled the city. But no one gave any mercy towards the soldiers, all the Heavenly Clouds Mansion members and Ren Long with his Heavenly Dragons Soldier had a dark past against the Netherworld Empire, and this time, they got the opportunity to exact their revenge!

They also knew that everyone inside the Netherworld Empire Imperial City was also a soldier.

People knew that the Emperor forbade anyone without any military skill to live inside the Netherworld Empire Imperial City, and that was also one of the reasons that the Netherworld Empire Imperial City was always safe from battle!𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

At the same time, Xu Fei led a group of Cultivators and quickly rushed towards the enemy to also participate in destroying the Netherworld Empire.

Yi Tianyun was very happy that Xu Fei also participated here, which meant Yi Tianyun would receive a ton of passive income from Xu Fei's kill.

Xu Fei used his ability to detect danger efficiently, he kept directing his group to defeat the enemy that they could defeat, if Xu Fei sensed danger ahead, he quickly changed his group's route so that they could avoid getting unnecessary death!

Yi Tianyun quickly took over the path that Xu Fei left!

He easily cleared the path that was too dangerous for his Heavenly Clouds Mansion's people.

Yi Tianyun was satisfied as his prediction was correct!

Xu Fei's ability to detect danger was strong, if Xu Fei cultivated vigorously and became stronger in the future, Yi Tianyun knew that Xu Fei would achieve victory in any battle!

Like Xu Fei, the female disciples who were led by Ye Qingxuan and Shi Xueyun were also killing the Netherworld Empire's soldiers ruthlessly. After all, they weren't just any delicate woman, they were also fighters!

They all fought bravely and quickly pushed forward, clearing all sectors of the Imperial City from any Netherworld Empire Soldier.

The team that Yi Tianyun deemed to be the bravest was the one that was led by Shi Xueyun, she was like a butterfly, dancing on the field of red! She was so beautiful on the battlefield that Yi Tianyun even forgot that she was ruthlessly killing the enemies!

After all this time that Yi Tianyun wasn't in the Heavenly Jade Mansion, Shi Xueyun's cultivation base has leaped several stages!

Now, she was at Spirit Core Peak Stage, and about to break through to the Core Transformation Stage too!

Although she was nowhere near Yi Tianyun's cultivation speed, it was already the fastest that any normal person would gain!

She was also very young, meaning that she still had many years ahead of her to cultivate stronger.

No one on the battlefield was even close to Shi Xueyun's cultivation speed, let alone Yi Tian Yun!

While Shi Xueyun was dealing with any opponent within the Spirit Core Stage, the rest of Core Transformation Experts was handed over to Ren Long!

They both quickly joined hands on the battlefield, killing an opponent after opponent efficiently.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Great Emperor stayed inside the palace while the rest of his soldiers were being massacred outside.

Yi Tianyun felt something was off, after all, no emperor wanted to see his own empire crumble like this, yet why was the Emperor not here yet?

Yi Tianyun began to think that the Emperor had evacuated himself from the Imperial City long ago.

Yi Tianyun couldn't help but become curious about the whereabouts of the Netherworld Emperor, and so, he walked towards the Netherworld Empire Imperial Palace casually.

But as he arrived at the front of the palace's door, a booming sound and a huge palm came from above!

That was the Netherworld Divine Palm, and it was ten times stronger than the one that Imperial Preceptor used!

Yi Tianyun thought that this might be the real Netherworld Divine Palm!

Chapter 435

This Netherworld Divine Palm was very huge, it was also very powerful as its pressure terrified everyone near the Netherworld Empire's palace! Everyone, except for Yi Tianyun immediately retreated as they knew that they would die as soon as they got close to the Palace's door.

"The power isn't bad! The Netherworld Emperor surely reached the power of 90 million easily! This power is way more powerful than any enemy that I have been fighting with all this time!" Yi Tianyun said, impressed by the Netherworld Emperor's power. This huge power was also the reason that the cultivators from Yi Tianyun's side decided to back down, they could sense the overwhelming power in the air!

But Yi Tianyun's power has already surpassed the power that the Netherworld Emperor's Netherworld Divine Palm had shown! Yi Tianyun quickly punched the Divine Palm with the same technique that he used against the Imperial Preceptor and the Divine Palm was immediately shattered into pieces!

But as the Divine Palm broke, the power within it turned into the Netherworld's fire, covering a large area in front of the Imperial palace! This fire offset Yi Tianyun's attack that should've broken the palace's door!

Netherworld's Fire: Middle Grade Earth Level Fire, this fire is extremely cold!

Yi Tianyun knew that Immortal Fire was far stronger than this Netherworld's Fire, but the amount of Netherworld's Fire on this place was far too absurd! The Immortal Fire was an extremely hot fire, meaning that this fire could be neutralized by the Immortal Fire, but it would be exhausting!

"Now we know that the Netherworld Emperor is still inside the Palace!" Yi Tianyun said as he tried to look inside the palace from the opened windows! With his 100 Million combat power right now, Yi Tianyun knew that this fire wouldn't become a problem for him. So, he immediately flew directly towards the Palace's door, not even considering the effect of the Netherworld's Fire on him! 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

'DING'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully breakthrough to 2ndLayer Void Spirit Stage!'

On the way towards the Netherworld Imperial Palace, the system notification told him that he was successfully breaking through to the 2ndLayer Void Spirit Stage! He immediately knew that was all thanks to Xu Fei who had been killing the enemy, giving him a hefty amount of Exp.

Yi Tianyun immediately looked at his status to see the amount of Exp that he needed in order to level up once again, and once he did see it, he was shocked! Now he needed to accumulate 400 million of Exp in order to level up to 3rdLayer Void Spirit Stage! How could he accumulate this amount of Exp! He needed at least 4 to 5 Void Spirit Expert to kill in order to get this amount of Exp, but where could he find that many enemies?

But he knew that the Emperor was at least at the Void Spirit Peak Stage, so he closed his status screen and immediately focused on finding the Emperor! He also knew that he would have to think about getting Exp later, he could search for a bunch of Spirit Accumulating Grass too, there was also a possibility to complete another quest that he had!

Now, Yi Tianyun's face was bright from excitement, he was excited to see what will await him after he reaches the peak level of cultivation!

As he approached the Palace, the Netherworld's Fire around him immediately condensed and turned into a Dark Dragon that was way bigger than the previous Dark Dragon that was summoned by the Imperial Preceptor! It was almost as big as the Heavenly Dragon's bone that he fought while trying to save Ren Long earlier! Yi Tianyun immediately looked at the Dark Dragon's status and saw that it was at Void Spirit Peak Stage!

As The Dark Dragon roared, the rest of Yi Tianyun's army fell back further so as to not get caught by the Dark Dragon!

"Yi Tianyun!" Shi Xueyun shouted in worry as she saw that Yi Tianyun kept flying towards the Imperial Palace, not caring about the Dragon's position at all! She really wants to help Yi Tianyun, but she knew with her current power level, she wouldn't be able to do anything!

The Dark Dragon immediately stood between Yi Tianyun and the Palace and started to spew its Netherworld's Fire, trying to burn Yi Tianyun with it!

But Yi Tianyun immediately put his hands forward and started to absorb the Netherworld's Fire! He knew that the Netherworld's Fire was just a Spiritual Energy attack and therefore the Heavens Devouring Secret Art will be able to absorb all of it! This secret art was different from the Heavens Swallowing Divine Secret Art that he was using earlier.

Heavens Devouring Divine Secret Art was to strengthen the user while absorbing the Spiritual Power from the user's surroundings, while the Heavens Swallowing Divine Secret Art was to absorb the Spiritual Energy without doing anything else to the user! But these two Secret Art could be stacked with each other, creating a stronger and more powerful absorption!

Chapter 436

'Successfully absorbed the Netherworld's Fire, converting to Exp: 8.300.000 Exp, 8.400.000 Exp, 8.500.000 Exp, . . .!' 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Yi Tianyun absorbed so much Exp at once! This was all thanks to the Exp Card that was still in effect! Yi Tianyun knew that normally he would only get around 70.000 to 100.000 Exp for this fire! He knew that he must make sure to get the best Exp as possible if the Exp Card was still active!

Because of Yi Tianyun's powerful absorption, he did not only absorb the Netherworld's Fire, but also absorb the Dark Dragon! After all, the Dark Dragon was only a phantom shadow, not a living creature!

The people from the Heavens Clouds Mansion and Heavenly Dragon Empire were shocked to see the scene enveloping before their eyes! They knew that Yi Tianyun was truly powerful, but they never expected he'd be able to absorb the Dark Dragon like this!

In the meantime, Yi Tianyun didn't stop absorbing the Dark Dragon, he knew that something as big as the Dark Dragon couldn't be absorbed in an instant!

"I will absorb it all, I will take my time for this one, no pressure!" Yi Tianyun said casually. He was constantly getting a ton of Exp for absorbing the Dark Dragon. After he was done, he quickly checked the total amount of Exp that he got and noticed that he almost reached 100 million Exp!

Yi Tianyun once again felt grateful for the Exp Card, for if it wasn't for that, he wouldn't be able to get this much Exp!

After feeling satisfied enough, Yi Tianyun looked at his surroundings and saw that the Netherworld's fire that was once burning the imperial city down, now looked like a weak fire! Yi Tianyun smirked as he accomplished another feat to weaken the Netherworld Emperor. He knew that the emperor must be watching somewhere.

"No wonder that you can kill the Imperial Preceptor! You have a strong martial art to back you up! I will make a proposition for you, how about you join the Netherworld Empire? I will give you the position of Divine Envoy, second only to my status as the emperor! If you work for me, you will be able to control the entire Netherworld Empire! I'm also willing to share half of the empire's resources with you! so, what do you say?" Netherworld Emperor's voice was heard from inside the palace, further proving to Yi Tianyun that the Emperor was indeed watching the fight!

Everyone looked at Yi Tianyun after the Emperor's voice subsided, the Netherworld Soldiers were looking at Yi Tianyun in hope that Yi Tianyun agreed to the temptation, while the Army from Yi Tianyun's side was looking at him in horror of Yi Tianyun becoming their enemy! The temptation from the Netherworld Emperor was hard to reject, at least that was what everyone thought!

Everyone believed that the Netherworld Empire would absolutely achieve the Divine Nation status if Yi Tianyun joined forces with them, the Heavenly Dragon Empire wouldn't become a challenge anymore!

"What is this? Is this how you sound of surrender?" Yi Tianyun said while smirking towards the Imperial Palace.

"No! this is not me stating my surrender! I simply admit that you are strong, if we work together, the Netherworld Empire's power would increase dramatically! We will be able to achieve Divine Nation status!" Netherworld Emperor said confidently.

"Okay, but I have one condition!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Condition? State it! I will try to meet your condition!" Netherworld Emperor said curiously. He was eager to make Yi Tianyun join the Netherworld Empire, since he has longed for Divine Nation status for a long time!

Ren Long and the others looked at Yi Tianyun in horror, and began to wonder whether Yi Tianyun really wanted to join the Netherworld Empire!

"Mansion Lord, I don't think it was wise to join forces with the Netherworld Empire!" an elder from Heavenly Jade Sect said to Yi Tianyun worriedly as she came with Shi Xueyun.

"It's okay, Elder. If he chooses to join the Netherworld Empire, then I would gladly follow!" Shi Xueyun said with a smile on her face.

Shi Xueyun's word worried them even more, they knew that all Yi Tianyun needed was approval from Shi Xueyun as his aunt. He would choose the option he wanted after hearing what Shi Xueyun had to say!

However, Ren Long remained silent while looking at Yi Tianyun with an unreadable expression.

"My condition is very simple! I will join the Netherworld Empire as long as you are not in it!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Are you mad! Did you take me as a fool?!" The Netherworld Emperor's voice was heard after Yi Tianyun finished speaking for a while! The Netherworld Emperor sounded angry from the tone that he used to answer Yi Tianyun's condition.

Everyone started to smile as they immediately realized that Yi Tianyun had no intention to betray their own goal! Shi Xueyun laughed beside Yi Tianyun as she already knew from the start that Yi Tianyun had no intention to accept the Netherworld Emperor's offer!

"Your Netherworld Empire has killed so many innocent people, you've already done lots of things that are completely sick! I will never join forces with you, a sick psycho like you would be better off dead!" Yi Tianyun said, sneering at the Netherworld Emperor!

Chapter 437

Yi Tianyun's demand was like a slap in the face for the Netherworld Emperor, the Emperor lamented on how stupid Yi Tianyun was as he rejected a big offer like that!

"It seems that you have confidence in your power! Did you think that you really can stop me?" Netherworld Emperor said coldly.? Huge phantom shadow of the Netherworld Emperor immediately appeared in front of the Palace's door and immediately rushed over to Yi Tianyun.

Everyone could feel a terrifying pressure coming out of the Emperor's Phantom Shadow, this was far more powerful than the Dark Dragon earlier! This was the enhanced version of the Netherworld Talisman that Yi Tianyun encountered while fighting with the minister of the Netherworld Empire earlier. This was the Netherworld Emperor's own divine ability, making it far more powerful than any other fake versions from the Netherworld Talisman!

The Emperor's Phantom Shadow immediately waved his hands at Yi Tianyun and a condensed Netherworld's Fire was immediately shot out from the palm of its hand! This was the true power of Netherworld Divine Palm, a palm attack with Netherworld's fire enhancing the attack!

The power from the Phantom Shadow's Netherworld Divine Palm reached 120 Million Combat Power! Much more powerful than anything Yi Tianyun has ever encountered! There was no doubt that the Netherworld Emperor was at Void Spirit Peak Stage!

"You are strong, I will give you that, but it's unfortunate that you will die today!" Yi Tianyun said as his body began to be covered by the thick scale from his upgraded Dragon God Bloodline! He began to channel his power into his fist and then prepared to hit the Netherworld Emperor's Phantom Shadow with it! "Dragon God Fist!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he punched the Phantom Shadow, he also covered his fist with the Immortal Fire as he knew that the Netherworld's fire was weak to extremely hot fire like the Immortal Fire!

Yi Tianyun smashed the Phantom Shadow down and immediately rushed towards the palace! Yi Tianyun punched the door with the Dragon God Fist and the door was busted open, while the Immortal Fire quickly burned the door and the wall of the palace, illuminating the entire area!

Yi Tianyun's combat power has reached 180 million, reaching a new height and overpowered the Phantom Shadow by quite a lot! Knowing that the enemy would soon reach his location, the Netherworld Emperor became uneasy, he was sitting on his throne while a huge array beneath the throne was providing a Netherworld's Fire for him to cultivate.

"Damn it! Who is that boy? How can he be so powerful despite being so young?!" The Netherworld Emperor said with horror and anxiety in his eyes. He must get Yi Tianyun out of the Palace, at least he had to save the Great Array that constantly provided him with the Netherworld's Fire that he direly needed to cultivate!

But unbeknown to the Netherworld Emperor, Yi Tianyun has already done his analysis on him!

Netherworld Great Emperor: Void Spirit Peak Stage Cultivation,

Equipment: High Grade Sacred Tool, Netherworld's Fire,

Martial Art: Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art,

Weakness: Extremely Hot Fire,

Combat Power: 120.000.000,

Drop on kill: Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art.

Netherworld Great Array: Grandmaster Level Divine Rune Great Array, can absorb Netherworld's Fire in the underground to enhance its power for cultivation or for attacking!

…..

Yi Tianyun has already seen it all! He knew that the Emperor was drawing his strength from the Netherworld Great Array, otherwise, the Emperor wouldn't be able to achieve this kind of power!

"I am very lucky that I managed to level up before reaching the Emperor, otherwise, I would definitely have a hard time against him!" Yi Tianyun said as he walked towards the throne room. Yi Tianyun also realized that this was also why the Emperor never left the palace as his source of power was there!

In front of the Throne Room's door, Yi Tianyun once again swung his hands and attacked the door with the Dragon God Fist, smashing down the door with one punch! The Great Emperor's complexion suddenly changed as he knew that he had to buy more time to break through. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Old Ancestors! Help me!" The Netherworld Emperor shouted nervously.

Immediately, two coffins popped out from the ground and blood was spilling from every little crevice of the coffins. The coffins slowly opened, revealing two old skinny men covered in blood!

"I didn't expect this world to still have such a genius cultivator in store, he is still so young!" an elderly voice from one of the Old Ancestors said. They both immediately raised their hands and suddenly a tremendous power could be felt from them both!

They quickly clapped their hands and with their combined power, a huge Netherworld Divine Palm erupted with 150 million combat power!

Chapter 438

This 150 million combat power was proof that both of them were at Spirit King Stage in their peak! But unfortunately for them, their combat power still fell short against Yi Tianyun, with 190 million Combat Power, Yi Tianyun still had the upper hand!

Yi Tianyun smirked and immediately used the Dragon God Fist to smash the Netherworld Divine Palm once again! The two ancestors were startled and immediately jumped out of their coffin to dodge Yi Tianyun's attack that went straight through the Netherworld Divine Palm!

The Old Ancestor's complexion immediately paled, they used their resources to stay alive, but this time, they had to face an enemy that they couldn't easily beat!

"This power, is he the messenger of a Divine Nation?" The Old Ancestors said as they looked at Yi Tianyun.

Meanwhile, the Netherworld Emperor was frowning as he realized the Old Ancestors couldn't stop Yi Tianyun's attack!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun looked at the two Old Ancestors' status to see what he should do against them both!

Heavenly Netherworld Old Ancestor: Void Spirit Peak Stage, master of Netherworld's Fire!

…..

Yi Tianyun noticed that both Old Ancestors' data was quite similar, the only difference was the combat power that the two possessed! They both managed to stay alive all because of the Netherworld Great Array's effect, if it was not for that, there was no chance for both of these Old Ancestors to stay alive!

Yi Tianyun also noticed that the blood from the coffins wasn't any normal bloods at all, it was mixed with some form of Blood Essence, but he didn't know what kind of Blood Essence was being used except for one, the Spirit Race's Blood Essence!

Spirit Race's Blood Essence was very special, they had a strong life essence and therefore if someone absorbed the blood, they would gain an extended life!

"It is time to end your life!" Yi Tianyun said as he covered his body with the Immortal Fire. The Old Ancestors looked at Yi Tianyun and once again felt threatened as they could feel the heat from the Immortal Fire and on top of that, the Netherworld's Fire couldn't stand Yi Tianyun's fire!

Seeing the young man in front of them was ready to attack, the Old Ancestor quickly connected their Spiritual Power with each other, like a fusion, they increased their Combat Power instantaneously.

At the same time, the Netherworld Great Emperor had enough and immediately walked behind the throne and disappeared from everyone's sight, he chose to hide underground instead of participating in the fight!

Yi Tianyun ignored the Great Emperor for now and focused on dealing with the two Old Ancestors in front of him!

"Netherworld Divine Palm!" the Old Ancestors said simultaneously, releasing the Huge Palm once again. Yi Tianyun was already bored of this attack, he began to wonder if the Netherworld Empire's higher ups could only do this trick as he smashed the Netherworld Divine Palm once again.

"Is this trick all you can do?" Yi Tianyun said annoyedly, as he saw that the Old Ancestors were once again blown away by his attack. Yi Tianyun immediately pulled out the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword and immediately rushed towards the Heavenly Netherworld Old Ancestor and stabbed him in the head!

'DING!'

'Successfully killed the Heavenly Netherworld Old Ancestor!

Reward: 162.000.000 Exp, 43.000 Cps, 15.000 Sps, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art, Netherworld Great Array, Netherworld's Fire (Rare), Netherworld Heart (Rare).'

Yi Tianyun was a little disappointed that he didn't get rewarded for killing an enemy far above his own level, but he knew that the system deemed the Old Ancestor to be weak as Yi Tianyun easily surpassed their Combat Power! Although his current cultivation level was still at 2nd Layer Void Spirit Stage, his combat power was already beyond Void Spirit Peak Stage level!

"Heavenly Netherworld!" The Old Ancestor of the Netherworld Empire shouted as he saw that Yi Tianyun had killed the Heavenly Netherworld Old Ancestor! He quickly pulled a bloody bone sword and swung it in an attempt to attack Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun saw the Old Ancestor's action and quickly swung his Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword in order to attack with an Energy wave! The Old Ancestor failed to react and was too late to dodge Yi Tianyun's attack! The energy wave hit the Old Ancestor directly and he was blown to the ground. There was so much blood coming out from the wound that Yi Tianyun's Sword wave created, killing the Old ancestor with only one hit!

Chapter 439

"What is this power?!" Old Ancestor said without his lower body intact! It was clear that he was done for! There would be no medicinal pill or any cultivation skill that could save his life at this point!

"My power? Dead man doesn't need to know about that! after all, your Netherworld Empire would crumble today!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

"You are right! After all, the story is written by the winner, does it not?" Old Ancestor said while laughing silently.

"That is true, but at the very least, I don't use the blood of the innocents to cultivate, I just use yours!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked evilly, and then stabbed the Old Ancestor of the Netherworld Empire right in his head!

The Old Ancestor stared at Yi Tianyun wide-eyed before he died, clearly still had something to say, but Yi Tianyun didn't give him any chance!

'DING!'

'Successfully killed the Old Ancestor of the Netherworld Empire!'

'Reward: 162.000.000 Exp, 43.000 Cps, 15.000 Sps, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art, Netherworld Great Array, Netherworld's Fire, Netherworld Soul (Rare), Netherworld Passage Key (Rare).'

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully breakthrough to 3rd Layer Void Spirit Stage!'

Yi Tianyun has leveled up once more! The accumulation that he got from killing the two Old Ancestors and absorbing the Netherworld's Fire were enough for him to level up! But there was still no level up reward from the system nor the reward from an elite enemy kill, it seemed that he had to kill some cultivator in Spirit King Stage in order to get that kind of reward now!

'DING!'

'X50 Exp Card time's up!'

'DING!' 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂

'X30 Exp Card time's up!'

'DING!'

'X . . .'

The X150 Exp Card has expired! Yi Tianyun felt a little bit disappointed as he didn't kill the Netherworld Emperor just yet! He couldn't buy any more of this card now, as he thought that it would be very wasteful for only killing one enemy!

The Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race immediately flew over towards Yi Tianyun with Ren Long and Shi Xueyun following suit. They knew that the enemy who was fighting against Yi Tianyun had been killed and that was why they no longer had to be cautious to come close.

"Spirit King, you are really amazing! I didn't expect you to kill the Old Ancestor of Netherworld Empire and Heavenly Netherworld Old Ancestor simultaneously!" Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race said in awe.

"Now is not the time to talk about that, Old Ancestor, can you and the other elders of the Spirit Sect destroy this Netherworld Great Array for me? I still need to find the Netherworld Emperor!" Yi Tianyun asked the Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race.

"This Great Array is a little bit hard, but I can do it! If no enemy interrupts me, I will destroy this Great Array soon!" The Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race says confidently.

"Okay, then I will count on you on this one! This Great Array constantly provides the Netherworld Emperor with his power, I need this down to beat that guy!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly. He has seen the extent of the Netherworld Emperor's power, with this Great Array active, he would be able to hold Yi Tianyun down, but without it, Yi Tianyun was confident that he would be able to kill the Netherworld Empire quickly!

"Okay, I will destroy it right away! But are you sure to follow the Netherworld Emperor? Aren't there going to be traps as you follow?" The Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race said worriedly.

"That may be the truth, but if I don't kill that guy, he can build another Netherworld Empire in another day!" Yi Tianyun said optimistically. "I believe that he wasn't going down there to escape, I believe he would be plotting something down there! At the very least, he would be planning to break through down there!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Everyone's face suddenly changed after hearing that the Emperor could be breaking through down there, they knew that a Spirit King Stage was very powerful. In fact, a Spirit King Stage cultivator was only a legend there on the Earthly Border Continent and Heavenly Border Continent!

"If he really manages to break through to the Spirit King Stage, why do you still choose to go?" The Old Ancestor of the Spirit King asked Yi Tianyun worriedly.

"That is the sole reason that I have to go down there! If he really successfully breaks through, there would be no place for us to run!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Everyone in the room agreed on Yi Tianyun's logic. If they let the Netherworld Emperor break through to the Spirit King Stage, what would they do then?

Chapter 440

Yi Tianyun didn't really care whether the Netherworld Emperor successfully broke through to the Spirit King Stage or not, he would kill the Netherworld Emperor regardless! But his word showed his concern for the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's people was real! Yi Tianyun felt responsible for the lives of the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's people, he would not let any of them die on his watch!

This battle, Yi Tianyun was on the front line, minimizing the casualties on his side. He knew that a death in battle was inevitable, but he successfully minimized casualties on his side! But if he let the Netherworld Emperor go, he knew that The Heavenly Clouds Mansion wouldn't be safe!

"Mansion Lord! We all know that you need to go down there, but please be careful!" an Elder from Spirit Sect said worriedly.

They all nodded their heads in agreement with the Elder's word. But Shi Xueyun suddenly stood up and told everyone to shut up.

"Now go! You can decide whatever you want to do. Look at us! We have accomplished so much all thanks to you! I believe that you will succeed on your mission and return to us safely!" Shi Xueyun said with a seer confidence in her eyes.

"Surely my aunt is the only one who knows me the most!" Yi Tianyun smiled warmly. After all, Yi Tianyun never really felt any parental love except for what he felt from Shi Xueyun, he knew that it wasn't the same, but he didn't really need anything else.

Everyone on the scene immediately backed off after they heard Shi Xueyun talked to Yi Tianyun, they knew that Yi Tianyun regarded Shi Xueyun's words the most, and therefore they had to respect Yi Tianyun's decision.

"Since Spirit King has made up his mind, I will also focus on my task to destroy this Netherworld Great Array! We will wait for your return, Spirit King!" The Old Ancestor of Spirit Race said confidently.

The crowds immediately shouted that they would wait for Yi Tianyun's return and that they would not leave the Imperial City before the Mansion Lord returned!

"Yeah, if the Mansion Lord doesn't return after a day, we will send people to investigate down there!" Heavenly Jade Sect disciple shouted confidently. This was all because they were very loyal to Yi Tianyun!

Yi Tianyun felt really motivated after hearing the support from everyone!

"Don't worry! I will kill the Netherworld Emperor and come back safely!" Yi Tianyun said confidently with a smile on his face.

They started to chant Yi Tianyun's name as he descended the stairs behind the Throne to chase after the Netherworld Emperor. Yi Tianyun felt the cold atmosphere as he went down the stairs that made him a little bit uncomfortable. As he went down further, he noticed that the amount of Netherworld's fire on the wall increased. He believed that anyone below the Core Transformation Stage wouldn't be able to come down there!

But for Yi Tianyun, this Netherworld's Fire was only a mild inconvenience, nothing more!

Yi Tianyun immediately reached out his hands toward the Netherworld's Fire on the wall and activated his Heaven Swallowing Divine Secret Art to absorb the Netherworld's Fire as he went down, it was better to boost his exp gain while he could.

'Gaining 7.000 Exp, 8.000 Exp, 7.800 Exp, . . .'

The amount of Exp that he got was far too small but he couldn't complain now as he didn't have any Exp Card active. The deeper he went toward the tunnel, the more Exp he got as the Netherworld's Fire was stronger!

Soon, he arrived at the end of the tunnel which was blocked by a thick door with a dense Divine Rune on the door. Yi Tianyun noticed that the Divine Rune that was used to fortify the door was at Grand Master Level, which meant that he couldn't force his way to open the door! 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

But Yi Tianyun knew with his Heavenly Eyes, destroying this door wouldn't be a problem! Yi Tianyun immediately activated the Heavenly Eyes and as he saw the Divine Rune's Array Core, he punched it with the God Dragon Fist!

'DING!'

'Successfully broke a Grandmaster Level Divine Rune!'

'Reward: 800.000 Exp, 2.000 Divine Rune Mastery Points.'

Yi Tianyun felt satisfied that he got a large amount of Exp for an easy job! After that he quickly kicked the door, and the door was busted open with a little amount of resistance, without the Divine Rune holding it down, this stone door was not a problem at all!

Yi Tianyun immediately walked inside and he saw that the room was full of Netherworld's fire that came from a big hole on the center of the room, Yi Tianyun also saw that the Netherworld Emperor was sitting on the side, meditating while absorbing the Netherworld's Fire madly!

Now Yi Tianyun knew for sure that the Netherworld Emperor really came down here to break through to the Spirit King Stage!

Chapter 441

Spirit Race Old Ancestor was still in the middle of disabling the Netherworld Great Array. Yi Tianyun knew that it was an absolute necessity as he felt the immense pressure on this place! The Netherworld Emperor would surely break through to the Spirit King Stage, and he would surely become more powerful than he was previously!

"I have to stop him quickly!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately rushed towards the Netherworld Emperor! Yi Tianyun believed that even if the Netherworld Emperor successfully broke through to Spirit King Stage, he would still be able to deal with him, but Yi Tianyun didn't want that extra trouble right now!

Yi Tianyun quickly activated his Heavenly Eyes and equipped the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword! This sword allowed Yi Tianyun to summon a Heavenly Dragon every time he attacked with it! Yi Tianyun realized that the Netherworld Empire was protected by a Defence Great Array after he activated his Heavenly Eyes. So, Yi Tianyun quickly searched for the Defence Great Array's core to break it!

"Found it!" Yi Tianyun said while smirking pleasantly, and he immediately slammed his Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword directly to the great array's core! The sword immediately shone in light blue color and Heavenly Dragon was instantly summoned, assisting Yi Tianyun's attack!

With a bang, the entire Defence Great Array was destroyed! But the Netherworld Emperor wasn't injured! To Yi Tianyun's annoyance, the Netherworld's Fire from around the room was drawn towards the Netherworld Emperor and started to cover him up like it was trying to protect him!

"Is this Netherworld's Fire your last defense? This would be easy!" Yi Tianyun said as he once again swung his sword to attack the Netherworld's Fire along with the Netherworld Emperor. He also covered the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword with his Immortal Fire, since both the Netherworld Emperor and the Netherworld's Fire had a weakness against scorching fire!

But Yi Tianyun's sword never reached the Netherworld Emperor. As Yi Tianyun took a swing, the Netherworld Emperor quickly opened his eyes and immediately summoned several Dark Dragons from his surrounding Netherworld's Fire, pushing Yi Tianyun back several feet!

From the amount of Dark Dragon summoned, the Netherworld's Fire intensity grew stronger, defeating the Immortal Fire as Yi Tianyun only used a small bit of fire! Yi Tianyun immediately swung his sword that was covered with Immortal's Fire to burn off the incoming Dark Dragon! His attempt showed results as Yi Tianyun kept slashing and burning the Dark Dragon that came his way!

Yi Tianyun quickly used his Appraisal Eye and checked the Netherworld Emperor's status. Yi Tianyun knew that this was not the original power of the Emperor, which meant that the Emperor had successfully broken through to the Spirit King Stage!

Sure enough, his guess was correct! The Netherworld Emperor's status has changed! Netherworld Emperor was a 1st?Layer Spirit King Stage cultivator right now, beside that fact, Netherworld Emperor's Combat Power has also increased from 120 million to 170 million! But Yi Tianyun also knew that this much combat power was obtained from the help of Netherworld Great Array! Which meant that after the Netherworld Great Array was successfully broken, the Emperor's Combat Power would be greatly reduced!

From the information he got from Appraisal Eye, Yi Tianyun knew that at least, one would attain 30 million combat power once successfully breaking through to Spirit King Stage! This amount was too high, as it usually increased around 5 to 10 million points in the Void Spirit Stage! But Yi Tianyun also knew that the Netherworld Emperor didn't have the time to stabilize his own cultivation, and without stabilizing it, the Netherworld Emperor wouldn't be able to use his newly obtained combat power efficiently! 𝙡𝓲𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

This realization was a much-appreciated situation for Yi Tianyun as he knew that fighting against a Spirit King Cultivator could be troublesome!

"I finally did it! I finally attain the Spirit King Status! I have to thank you for this! if it was not for your pressure, I wouldn't be able to push myself to this realm!" Netherworld Emperor said as he laughed happily.

Yi Tianyun wasn't bothered by the Netherworld Emperor's words. In fact, the fact that the Netherworld Emperor successfully broke through was not bad either! Now, Yi Tianyun would be able to get his Elite Kill Bonus after killing the Netherworld Emperor!

"Well, if you want to thank me that much, you could always give me some reward for it!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently. He never feared any enemies before, and now was not an exception!

"My reward for you is complete annihilation of your faction. Probably that at least would be necessary to teach you a lesson!" The Netherworld Emperor said happily. The Netherworld Emperor immediately absorbed the Netherworld's Fire from his surroundings to further enhance his power.

The Netherworld Emperor's body was immediately covered by the Netherworld's fire-like armor, and every time he took a step, the Netherworld's Fire burst out from his feet!

Chapter 442

The Netherworld Emperor looked at Yi Tianyun with contempt! This young man has culled his Netherworld Empire's power significantly, and now, he even dared to attack the Netherworld Imperial City! It was true that the Netherworld Emperor also thought of inviting this young man to join the Netherworld Empire, but now he couldn't let Yi Tianyun live!

"Is that it? If that's the only thing you can offer, then I will have to pass!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"It seems that you still didn't realize the situation that you are in! it was a shame that you would have to die in such ignorance!" The Netherworld Emperor said as his palm started to glow bright blue! The Netherworld Emperor immediately raised his hands, and the Netherworld's Fire from his surroundings started to condense in his palm and a huge palm was formed, covering from corner to corner, which meant that there was no place to run from this attack!

This was the Netherworld Divine Palm that has been enhanced by the Netherworld's Fire! The Netherworld's Fire could burn everything in this attack as it was powered up by the Emperor's Spiritual Energy!

Yi Tianyun looked at the Divine Palm with his Appraisal Eye and noticed that this attack was at 180 million combat power! It seemed that the Emperor was eager to attack Yi Tianyun with everything he got!

"Equip Heavenly Dragon Set!" Yi Tianyun said to the system.

'DING!'

'Successfully equipped a Heavenly Dragon Armour.'

'DING!'

'Successfully equipped with Heavenly Dragon Boots.'

'DING!'

'Successfully equipped Heavenly Dragon Set, adding X15 Defensive Power, X15 Combat Power, X5 Speed!'

After equipping the full set of Heavenly Dragon Set, Yi Tianyun's power increased exponentially! This was far better than the effect of the Evil Dragon Suit as the Evil Dragon Suit was only a level 30 equipment!

Yi Tianyun held the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword tightly, and his body started to glow in a golden light, and a Heavenly Dragon Phantom Shadow also started to appear behind him!

"Heavenly Dragon Slash!" Yi Tianyun said as he swung his sword towards the Netherworld Divine Palm! A sword wave appeared from the tip of Yi Tianyun's sword that also glowed in a brilliant aura that looked so beautiful!

Yi Tianyun's attack cut the Netherworld Divine Palm into two pieces and destroyed it immediately into countless sparkles and still headed straight toward the Netherworld Emperor as it overpowered the Netherworld Divine Palm at 200 million combat power!

The Netherworld Emperor was shocked, and at the same time amazed by Yi Tianyun's brilliant attack, leading to him failing to react in time to defend himself properly! He quickly gathered the Netherworld's Fire in front of him, and thus the Netherworld's Fire acted as his shield! But Yi Tianyun's attack was too powerful. The Netherworld Emperor was still hit, despite the Netherworld's Fire shielding him! The Netherworld Emperor was immediately slammed into a wall after being pushed hard by the Sword Wave!

The Emperor coughed some blood as the attack had severely injured him! The Netherworld Emperor immediately looked at Yi Tianyun with horror in his eyes, he used his most powerful attack plus his power was amplified thanks to the Netherworld Great Array! He began to wonder whether Yi Tianyun was also at Spirit King Stage!𝒍𝓲𝓫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝙤𝒎

"How is this possible? Are you also at Spirit King Stage?" Netherworld Emperor asked curiously.

"Would this question be of any use to someone who's about to die?" Yi Tianyun said as he stepped forward toward the Netherworld Emperor and smirked with a satisfied look on his face. "Now, you will answer for all the innocents that you have killed up until now in the underworld!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Killing innocent people? Did I hear it right? Aren't you also covered with blood yourself? What is this bullshit?" The Netherworld Emperor said annoyedly. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I don't deny that my hand was also covered with blood, but I only kill people who have already fallen in grace! People who no longer could receive any repentance! I will never kill an innocent person, for I know that I would receive nothing from it!" Yi Tianyun said as he started to rush forwards, swinging his heavenly Dragon Divine Sword!

"The people that I killed were all weak! The weak should cower on my feet, and I should be using them as my stepping stone!" The Netherworld Emperor said as he equipped a high-grade sacred tool long sword. The Netherworld's Fire immediately shrouded the blade, and the power of the Netherworld Emperor rose once again.

The Netherworld Emperor immediately tried to parry Yi Tianyun's sword to no avail! The Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword was much more powerful compared to the sacred tool Long Sword that he pulled out at the last moment. Besides, Yi Tianyun's combat power has far surpassed the Netherworld Emperor's combat power! Yi Tianyun's sword pierced the Netherworld Emperor's body, making him stiff as the pain was unbearable!

The Netherworld Emperor never believed anyone if they told him that he would be losing a fight against a teenager, and now, he couldn't believe his eyes that he lost to a teenager!

Yi Tianyun smirked as he realized that he had successfully killed the Netherworld Emperor! With the heavenly Dragon Set, plus his cultivation technique and the Crazy Mode, his power has exploded to 200 million! A value that he never thought was possible before, at least not at this level!

Chapter 443

"How… can… you…!" The Netherworld Emperor stammered as the light in his eyes became dimmer by the second! Yi Tianyun knew that the Netherworld Emperor's life wouldn't be long anymore! Yi Tianyun quickly pulled out the sword that was penetrating the heart of the Netherworld Emperor to quicken the Netherworld Emperor's death!

The Netherworld Emperor couldn't believe that he would be dying in a teenager's hand right after obtaining the Spirit King Status! Now that the Netherworld Empire would die out as his life left his body, he certainly came to regret every choice that he had made until now, for he knew that he wouldn't be dying like this if he was more compassionate!

"Now, I have to cut your head as a totem that your wrongdoings are finally over!" Yi Tianyun said as he held his sword above the Netherworld Emperor's neck! As Yi Tianyun swung his sword down, a light blue color suddenly blinded his eyes and Yi Tianyun was suddenly pushed back by a Netherworld Dragon that suddenly appeared from within the Netherworld Emperor's Body!

Yi Tianyun's body was covered by the Netherworld's Fire, but he immediately burned it with his Immortal Fire. But Yi Tianyun still felt the burn during the Netherworld's Fire was sticking to him!

"What is this power? Who are you?" Yi Tianyun said as he felt a new power circulating in the room. This new power was different from the Netherworld Emperor's power. This one was much more powerful!

"I didn't expect for the Netherworld Emperor to die like this! But it happens and now, I have to possess this body!" Netherworld Emperor said, but Yi Tianyun noticed that the Netherworld Emperor's eyes were dark, like a body without its soul!

The blue light that blinded Yi Tianyun earlier started to cover the wound on the Netherworld Emperor's chest that was a result of Yi Tianyun's attack earlier. The blue light was healing the wound up at an amazing speed!

Yi Tianyun began to wonder if the Netherworld Emperor hid another soul on his body so that if he died, he could come back to life once again? Yi Tianyun quickly used the Appraisal Eye to check on this reborn Netherworld Emperor, but all he could see was the status of the former Netherworld Emperor. Still, Yi Tianyun was certain that this reborn Netherworld Emperor was more powerful than the status that he was currently seeing.

"What is happening right now!" Yi Tianyun said to himself as he was confused about the current situation. Yi Tianyun immediately rushed forward and tried to slash the Netherworld Emperor once more! But the Netherworld Emperor immediately reacted to Yi Tianyun's attack. A thick Dragon Scale immediately covered the Netherworld Emperor's arm, and he used it to block Yi Tianyun's Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword!

The Netherworld Emperor was still being pushed back from the impact of Yi Tianyun's attack. However no injuries could be seen from it, clearly different from the previous Netherworld Emperor that Yi Tianyun easily overpowered! But even so, Yi Tianyun noticed that the Dragon Scale from the Netherworld Emperor's arm was shattered by his attack, meaning that Yi Tianyun's attack was better than the Netherworld Emperor's defense!

"Die already, old man!" Yi Tianyun said as he put more strength to his arm power and attacked the Netherworld Emperor once more!𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

However, the Netherworld Emperor quickly reached for Yi Tianyun's Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword's blade and held it down so that Yi Tianyun couldn't attack! Yi Tianyun was surprised that his 200 million combat power could be held down by the Netherworld Emperor like this!

After Yi Tianyun shook the blades from the Netherworld Emperor's hold, he noticed that the Netherworld Emperor's hand that held the swords was bleeding. However, the Netherworld Emperor was still showing no expression at all! The blue light appeared once again, and this time, it healed the arm that was injured while holding Yi Tianyun's blade!

"Even after I finally took over his body completely, it appeared that he was still weak! I have carefully trained him, but he was still losing against a teenager! Forget it! at least he was already at Spirit King Stage, but it's all thanks to you, isn't it?" Netherworld Emperor smiled at Yi Tianyun, and his expression was sincere, but his eyes were utterly evil!

Yi Tianyun's appraisal Eye was finally showing some change!

Unknown Soul: 3rd Layer Spirit King Stage, Powerful soul can occupy any human body as its own!

Martial Art: Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art, Dark Dragon Secret Art!

Weakness: Extremely Hot Fire!

Combat Power: 250.000.000 Points. (Netherworld Great Array's Effect)

Drops on kill: Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Art, Dark Dragon Possession, Netherworld Treasure Pearl (Rare Lower Grade Divine Tool).

…

Netherworld Treasure Pearl: Lower Grade Divine Tool that can control the Netherworld's Fire and allows the user to store a large amount of Netherworld's fire for later use. Perfect Divine Tool for Netherworld's Fire Cultivation technique! This Pearl can also store the soul of the user, so that the user can live as long as the Pearl still exists!

… 𝓵𝓲𝙗𝓻𝓮𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

The Netherworld Emperor was possessed by some unknown soul, and he had the Netherworld Treasure Pearl all along! This Pearl was in the same category as Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure, but clearly, the effect of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasure was far above this Netherworld Treasure Pearl!

Yi Tianyun noticed that the soul that was controlling the Netherworld Emperor's body was cheerfully gathering the Netherworld's Fire around his body. He also summoned a Dark Dragon phantom shadow behind him that looked even more powerful than any Dark Dragon that he has fought until now!

Chapter 444

Yi Tianyun never expected to find a situation where his opponent held another soul in their body, and worst of all, the unknown soul was far more powerful than the original enemy, and he also held a strong Divine Tool in his possession! Furthermore, this unknown soul also benefited from the Netherworld Great Array, and now its Combat Power has reached 250 million power! Yi Tianyun realized that he was way weaker than his opponent now!

Yi Tianyun gritted his teeth after knowing that the real boss of the Netherworld Empire was none other than this Unknown soul, while the Netherworld Emperor was only a host! Nobody ever had this kind of information regarding this unknown soul, Yi Tianyun would even bet that the real Netherworld Emperor didn't even know this unknown soul would take his body!

"Who are you?" Yi Tianyun asked as he stared at the possessed Netherworld Emperor!

"Who am I? hmm, you are qualified to know my name! My name is Ming Chen, a name that probably no one in this area ever knows. I appreciate your power so much as you are able to draw power from this weak Netherworld Emperor. I will make a deal with you, as long as you vowed to serve under me, I will train you and invite you to join my Divine Nation!" Ming Chen said proudly.𝓵𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"Ming Chen? What is your faction? Why would I join your faction without knowing whether your faction is worth joining or not!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Does Divine Nation sound like a joke to you? This is just a small fragment of my soul, and I want to build many more segments of it to increase the influence of the Divine Nation that I am currently in!" Ming Chen said proudly.

"Hmmm, a Divine Nation huh?" Yi Tianyun said as he squinted his eyes to look at Ming Chen. This whole time, he only believed that a Divine Nation was only a part of a legend, no one really knew any Divine Nation as there was no one claiming that they were a part of a Divine Nation nor did anyone know any area that belonged to any Divine Nation!

The Divine Nation was strong! Yi Tianyun knew that much as the Divine Nation was a 5th Grade faction, it meant that the Divine Nation was far more powerful than an Empire that was a 4th Grade Faction!

"Why did you choose to separate your soul and take the initiative to occupy this side of the world?" Yi Tianyun asked the question that he needed to answer the most! 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"You don't need to know my reason for doing things! Either you obey me or die! So, what is your choice?" Ming Chen asked Yi Tianyun annoyedly.

"I choose not to obey you, but you are the one who's going to die!" Yi Tianyun said confidently as he activated the Dragon god Bloodline and the Crazy Damage Mode! After he activated both of these abilities, his combat power reached 240 million, just a little bit short of Ming Chen!

Yi Tianyun immediately burned his blood essence, and once again, his combat power rose significantly to 265 million points! Yi Tianyun immediately rushed towards Ming Chen and used his Heavenly Dragon Slash once more!

Yi Tianyun's eyes were filled with determination as he used everything; he must defeat Ming Chen in one blow!

"Wow, you are the first ever to defy me, someone who belonged in a Divine Nation! This means that your only way is death!" Ming Chen said as he defended against Yi Tianyun's attack with a long sword that was far different from the previous sword that the real Netherworld Emperor used. This sword was black with a hint of Netherworld's Fire in it, that meant this sword was the Netherworld Divine sword!

"Dark Dragon Possession!" Ming Chen said annoyedly. He felt that Yi Tianyun's power was far more powerful than before, and he had to get serious now! Dark Dragon Phantom Shadow immediately appeared near Ming Chen while his body was immediately covered by a thick dragon scale! The most horrible thing that happened was Ming Chen's head had turned into that of a dragon!

His combat power also spiked to 270 million points! A little bit higher than Yi Tianyun! Yi Tianyun began to wonder, was this the extent of a 3rd Layer Spirit King Stage Cultivator's power? Yi Tianyun became excited as he also thought how powerful he would become as soon as he attained that level!

Ming Chen immediately rushed forward, and Yi Tianyun immediately held him down as he blocked Ming Chen's attack with his Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword! The Dark Dragon Phantom Shadow also collided with the Heavenly Dragon Phantom Shadow that Yi Tianyun summoned as he swung the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword!

An earthquake suddenly broke out with them both as the center of it all! Ming Chen's attack was not over just yet! He kept slashing, while Yi Tianyun gritted his teeth and kept blocking Ming Chen's attack!

"Hmmm, you've already burned your essence, no? let us see how long you will be able to keep that up!" Ming Chen said as he sneered at Yi Tianyun.

"At least longer than you would be able to keep up!" Yi Tianyun said as he pushed Ming Chen back! Yi Tianyun wasn't afraid of depleting his Blood Essence as he had the Enhanced Blood Jade that he got earlier.

After a while, Ming Chen's combat power suddenly dropped to around 200 million points, far behind Yi Tianyun's combat power! Yi Tianyun immediately realized that the Old Ancestor of Spirit Race had successfully destroyed the Netherworld Great Array upstairs! Yi Tianyun smirked as he remembered that he wasn't fighting alone all this time, people that he trusted and trusted him back were also fighting with him!

Chapter 445

After the Netherworld Great Array was destroyed, the Netherworld's fire in the room that Yi Tianyun was currently in could no longer gather in one spot like before. Ming Chen's combat power was dropping to a level that was much weaker than Yi Tianyun!

"My Netherworld Great Array! What have you done?" Ming Chen said with so much venom. Yi Tianyun didn't really care about what Ming Chen was about to say, and he rushed forward once again, ready to strike Ming Chen with his killing blow!

Ming Chen quickly dodged and agilely leaped backward to make some distance between him and Yi Tianyun. After all, Ming Chen was still at 3rdLayer Spirit King stage! But it didn't matter right now, even though Ming Chen was fast, Yi Tianyun was much faster!

Yi Tianyun chased after Ming Chen and quickly lopped off Ming Chen's left arm that he used to defend against Yi Tianyun's slash!

"Damn it! damn you!" Ming Chen said as his face gradually paled as he was losing blood! Even though he was possessing the Netherworld Emperor's body, he still could feel the pain or the injuries that the body sustained!

Ming Chen immediately used the Netherworld Treasure Pearl in his head to cure his wound. The blue light from earlier appeared once again, and his bleeding stopped, but the blue light couldn't regenerate his missing arm straight away!

"Don't relax just yet!" Yi Tianyun said as he used his after-Image technique, and three clones of himself appeared! These clones were weaker than him as it only had a third of his combat power, but Yi Tianyun only used this technique to block Ming Chen's escape route, not to kill him!

"Don't you underestimate me more than this, Kid!" Ming Chen said as he roared, and the Netherworld Treasure Pearl in his head flashed wildly! Then, a Netherworld's Fire flooded the place as it burst out from inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!

The three clones that Yi Tianyun summoned earlier were immediately burned to ashes as it didn't have as high resistance as the real Yi Tianyun!

Yi Tianyun himself was burned a little bit from the fire that spread so quickly! He immediately knew that this Netherworld's Fire was more powerful than the Netherworld's Fire that he came in contact with earlier!𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢

Yi Tianyun immediately took out a bunch of Medicinal Pills and swallowed them to regenerate the burns he sustained from the Netherworld's Fire. Yi Tianyun looked at the Netherworld's Fire with his appraisal eye to quickly assess the danger that he was in, and saw that this Netherworld's Fire was indeed stronger than the previous one. This one was a High-Grade Earth Level Netherworld's Fire while the previous one was a Low-Grade Earth level Netherworld's Fire!

No wonder why the Netherworld's Fire this time could burn Yi Tianyun while the previous one was only a tickle! Yi Tianyun knew that the Netherworld's Fire this time was still not as good as his Immortal Fire, but the amount of Netherworld's Fire is too much for the Immortal Fire to burn!

"I didn't expect you would have this kind of power! Dared to push me to my limit! If my deity is here, he will crush you to pieces with one finger, but as of now, can you become stronger than my Netherworld Treasure Pearl?" Ming Chen said coldly.

Netherworld Treasure Pearl floated in front of Ming Chen while constantly releasing Netherworld's Fire. Yi Tianyun knew that if the Netherworld's Fire was still flooding the place, it would be difficult to kill Ming Chen!

Yi Tianyun quickly adjusted his spiritual power as he knew he had to prepare his best to beat Ming Chen.

"You don't have anything to say? Oh well, your life would end soon anyway! And so does the life of all your companions!" Ming Chen said coldly. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚

As he finished talking, three Dark Dragons appeared behind Ming Chen. This Dark Dragon was much different from the other Dark Dragons that Yi Tianyun has encountered, this Dark Dragon was full of the Netherworld's Fire that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl released, making it far stronger!

Yi Tianyun immediately knew that even if he used the Heavens Swallowing Secret Art, he wouldn't be able to absorb all the Netherworld's Fire that the Dark Dragon would throw at him. After all, The Netherworld's Fire this time was already out of his level!

So, Yi Tianyun stood on the spot, motionless, waiting for the Dark Dragon to make it move. For Ming Chen, it looked like Yi Tianyun had given up already!

"Are you giving up? Did you finally understand that your struggle is futile?" Ming Chen said while smirking victoriously.

But, as Ming Chen ordered the Dark Dragon to attack Yi Tianyun, Yi Tianyun disappeared from the spot, making the Dark Dragon lose its target! "What? Where did he go?" Ming Chen said with a surprised look on his face, but immediately he felt danger from his back. Ming Chen immediately ran forward to escape whatever it was that appeared on his back, but he was already too late!

A sword slashed his waist from the back, and the Sword Wave successfully split his body in two!

Chapter 446

Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword cut open Ming Chen's body! The extremely sharp sword cut through the Netherworld's Fire that shrouded Ming Chen's body like butter. Ming Chen's body wasn't spared either. His body was cut into two, leaving his upper body spurting an extreme amount of blood!

Ming Chen knew that this Netherworld Emperor's body was done for. There was nothing he could do to save it as it was already impossible to move!

"Let's die together!" Ming Chen said as he smiled evilly while the Dark Dragon roared, and the Netherworld Treasure Pearl spewed a lot more Netherworld's fire! Yi Tianyun immediately realized that Ming Chen was releasing everything he could to bombard the place with an ungodly amount of Netherworld's Fire!

Yi Tianyun didn't have anywhere to escape now as his teleport ability was still in cooldown! Yi Tianyun has firstly thought to use Teleport for escaping if something dangerous happened, but he used it to attack Ming Chen instead! Now Yi Tianyun realized that his decision was a mistake!

'DING!'

'Situation where player [Yi Tianyun] currently stands is dangerous, advised to escape immediately!' 𝓁𝒾𝘣𝑟𝑒𝘢𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

The system was suddenly notified to warn Yi Tianyun from the danger he was currently in. Yi Tianyun realized that if even the system warned him, then it meant that he could die here!

"Shit! I didn't want to use this, but it seems I have no other choice!" Yi Tianyun said as he revealed a Divine Rune that was carved on his arms. That was the World Divine Rune that Ye Qingxuan gave him before, using this Divine Rune has the same side effect as burning blood essence, if not greater! He knew it after looking at the side effect that Ye Qingxuan felt after using this World Divine Rune herself!

But the current situation was too urgent to think about the side effects! He could die here if he didn't try his best to escape! He still had the extra life on his inventory, but he didn't want to use it now! After all, even if he used the extra life, the amount of fire after the explosion would kill him once more!

Yi Tianyun quickly activated the World Divine Rune with his blood essence, the combination of Blood Essence and World Divine Rune exploded his Combat Power immensely, reaching 315 million! This was only from the effect of the World Divine Rune and his Crazy Mode, not counting the bonus that he may get from weapons, ability, and other stuff!

Yi Tianyun then activated his Dragon God Bloodline and Heavenly Dragon Set, exploding his Combat Power further to 360 million points! But Yi Tianyun wasn't finished just yet! He clasped his hands around the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword, and a new Phantom Shadow slowly emerged, Yi Tianyun wanted to use his awakening power!

Every cultivator who successfully broke through to Void Spirit Stage could awaken their latent power, and that latent power was unique for each individual!

The Phantom Shadow that appeared behind Yi Tianyun was his own phantom shadow! It copied Yi Tianyun's every move while also having Yi Tianyun's combat power!

"One Sword Crushes Heaven's Door!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he slammed his sword forward to create a sword wave, the Phantom Shadow also copied Yi Tianyun move and did the same thing, creating two sword waves that spiraled all around the room, cutting off the Netherworld's fire that shrouded the room!

Yi Tianyun's combat power reached a new terrifying height at 400 million points!𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶

The sword waves destroyed the Dark Dragon and neutralized the Netherworld's Fire! Ming Chen looked at the scene with horror in his eyes. He finally realized that there was no chance for him ever winning against the teenager, whether he used everything from the beginning or not!

"How can this be? Who are you!" Ming Chen asked with horror still clear in his eyes. Yi Tianyun just stood there waiting for the sword wave to reach Ming Chen. He didn't want to talk to the dead! After the sword waves ravaged the Netherworld Emperor's body, it spun towards the wall and hit it harshly.

The Heavenly Clouds People at the top felt the violent earthquake that happened below their legs. Shi Xueyun and the others became worried about Yi Tianyun's safety and thus hoped that nothing happened to Yi Tianyun!

Many people's eyes were full of worries while the other was still cleaning the Imperial City from any trace of the Netherworld Empire!

Shi Xueyun couldn't help it anymore and turned her attention towards the Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race.

"Old Ancestor …!" Shi Xueyun said as she didn't know how to ask Old Ancestor's help to check on Yi Tianyun since that may endanger the Old Ancestor's life too.

"It's okay. I get it if you couldn't ask me directly. I, too, want to check on the Mansion Lord's situation. But, if I don't come back soon, please evacuate the place!" Old Ancestor said with a smile on his face.

Chapter 447

The Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race had a cultivation base at Void Spirit Stage, and that was why he was the only one who could check on Yi Tianyun's situation safely! But as the Old Ancestor was about to go down, Ren Long immediately said that he would go as well!𝘭𝒾𝑏𝑟𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race wanted to decline at first, but after seeing the determination on Ren Long's face, he knew that he didn't have any choice but to bring him along.

"Old Ancestor! We also want to check on the Mansion Lord with you!" a disciple shouted as he saw that Ren Long could also go down with the Old Ancestor.

"No! I can't guarantee your safety down there! Ren Long is different. He could protect himself if danger still lurks down there, as for the others, you will only become a burden!" The Old Ancestor said solemnly.

The others realized that what the Old Ancestor said was true, Yi Tianyun's enemy right now was the Netherworld Emperor. Anything could happen down there, and if in any case, the Mansion Lord lost, it meant that the Netherworld Emperor could strike them down when he saw them entering the room that he was currently in!

This also applied to Shi Xueyun, she also wanted to follow the Old Ancestor of the Spirit Race down there, but she knew that her cultivation was too low to enter the place! She felt that her status as the Sect Lord was for nothing, as she couldn't even check on Yi Tianyun's status! But even so, she didn't say anything to the Old Ancestor as she was afraid of becoming a burden.

As everyone has calmed down after hearing Spirit Race Old Ancestor's words, Old Ancestor and Ren Long nodded at each other and descended into where Yi Tianyun headed earlier. They noticed that the path was lit up by the Netherworld's Fire, making it hard for them both! Although the Netherworld Great Array has been destroyed, there was still a lot of Netherworld's Fire at the place!

"We've only descended for a few steps, but it's already hard to go on!" The Old Ancestor said with a sad tone.

"Yeah, this Netherworld's Fire is surely amazing. I believe none below the Core Transformation Stage can enter this place!" Ren Long said solemnly.

They walked down, but as they were close to the bottom, another explosion happened at the bottom, where Yi Tianyun was supposed to be. Both clenched their fists and steeled their determination, for they needed to check and help Yi Tianyun if needed!

After the Explosion subsided, both continued down the path, while doing so, they noticed that the Netherworld's Fire had become much more violent and stronger! As they reached the bottom, they looked inside the room and saw Yi Tianyun's figure standing on the side, holding a long sword while looking intently at the front! Ren Long noticed that Yi Tianyun's body was burned and sustained a lot of small injuries. But overall, Ren Long couldn't see any life-threatening condition!

Both couldn't find any more figures beside Yi Tianyun, but they saw that there was blood splattered everywhere, while many pieces of human body scattered on the ground, making the room look disgusting!

"Spirit King!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor shouted!

But as soon as they were about to walk towards Yi Tianyun, Yi Tianyun stopped them both.

"Don't come any closer! The Netherworld's Fire around me would hurt you badly! I am okay, just let me finish it here first!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

At the same time, a system notification sound was heard by Yi Tianyun.

'DING'

'Successfully killed the Netherworld Great Emperor!'

'Reward: 90.000.000 Exp, 10.000 Cps, 10.000 Sps, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art. Dark Dragon Secret Technique, Netherworld Soul (Rare), Netherworld Divine Sword (High-Grade Sacred Tool), Netherworld Armour (High-Grade Sacred Tool), Netherworld Boots (High-Grade Sacred Tool), Netherworld's Fire (Middle-Grade Earth Level Fire).'

'DING'

'Congratulation on killing an Elite Enemy!'

'Reward: 100.000.000 Exp, 100.000 Cps, 10.000 Sps, 1 Super Enhanced Lottery Roulette.'

The reward was amazing, but Yi Tianyun felt a little bit disappointed that the effect of the Exp Card has already expired. Otherwise, he could've leveled up once more here for sure! But Yi Tianyun was a little bit curious as he didn't receive any reward from killing Ming Chen's soul! He tried to locate the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, but instead, he saw a flickering shadow crawling towards a Netherworld's Fire that he suspected was holding the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!

Yi Tianyun tried to look at it with his Appraisal Eye, and he smirked after knowing what it was.

Ming Chen's soul: Cultivation Base 8th Layer Core Transformation Stage.

Yi Tianyun had suspected that Ming Chen wasn't dead yet, and so he rushed towards the shadow and trapped him inside his palm.

"Hmm, where do you think you are going!" Yi Tianyun said coldly while reaching towards the Netherworld Treasure Pearl with his other hand.

"Let me go! Let's make a deal! Let me go, and I will make sure that my deity doesn't attack your faction!" Ming Chen said nervously.

"Let you go? Did you ever think I would believe your words?" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"You will only return and bring more people that's probably a lot stronger than you and start wreaking havoc in my place! A word from a criminal could never be trusted!" Yi Tianyun said as he squeezed Ming Chen's soul! 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"I swear in my soul that I will bring many people here to crush you!" Ming Chen said as he was squeezed to death!

"I will wait for it!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Chapter 448

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Ming Chen's Soul!'

'Reward: 120.000.000 Exp, 12.000 Cps, 15.000 Sps, Netherworld Divine Art, Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Burning Body Secret Art, Dark Dragon Secret Art, Ghost World Treasure Map (Rare), Ghost World Secret Order (Rare), Ghost World Star Plate (Rare).'

A lot of new items appeared as Yi Tianyun's reward as soon as he killed Ming Chen's soul, from the name of the item Yi Tianyun thought that it might be more important than any equipment would be! But it was still a shame that Ming Chen didn't drop any Divine Treasure as he died!

"This is why you need to give up as soon as you see me coming!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked at the Netherworld's fire in front of him. Yi Tianyun knew that he didn't have any means to prove Ming Chen's word that said he would bring a Divine Nation to attack Yi Tianyun, but he knew that he had to prepare anyway as he didn't want to underestimate his enemy.

Yi Tianyun knew that he needed more power to oppose the Divine Nation in the future, or he would be destroyed! But for sure, he didn't regret his decision to kill Ming Chen, for he knew Ming Chen would attack him again anyway. 𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚

After that, Yi Tianyun heard a clicking sound on the corner of the room and found that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl fell on the corner. He walked up to the Netherworld Treasure Pearl and took it from the ground. Because of Ming Chen's death, this Netherworld Treasure Pearl should have no master!

Yi Tianyun immediately dripped a drop of his blood to the pearl, the Netherworld Treasure Pearl immediately absorbed Yi Tianyun's blood, and the blood rippled around the pearl's surface. Ren Long and the Spirit Race Old Ancestor just observed Yi Tianyun from the door as they knew that the Netherworld's fire at the room that Yi Tianyun was currently in could easily burn them to ashes!

But both were shocked as they heard Yi Tianyun shout 'Gather!' and suddenly the Netherworld's Fire in the room surrounded Yi Tianyun and covered his whole body! Yi Tianyun knew that this was the process for the Divine Treasure to recognize him as its master, so he stayed calm. After a while, the Netherworld's Fire immediately returned inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, leaving the room with many scorch marks on the wall.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised as it seemed the Netherworld Treasure Pearl rejected Yi Tianyun as its new master! But Yi Tianyun realized that he must have Netherworld's Fire in his arsenal first before he could become the new master for the Netherworld Treasure Pearl!

He checked his inventory and immediately activated the Netherworld's Fire that he got from killing the Netherworld Emperor earlier, and he immediately shifted his focus back to the pearl!

"Come!" Yi Tianyun said as he reactivated the Netherworld Treasure Pearl. The Netherworld's Fire inside the pearl immediately burst out and covered Yi Tianyun's body like before. This time was a success! Yi Tianyun could feel the Divine Treasure bonding with the Netherworld's Fire in his body and that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl itself was shining in light blue color.

"Good, now I have my own Divine Treasure!" Yi Tianyun as he smirked in accomplishment. Now he could control any Netherworld's Fire in this world! Yi Tianyun immediately turned his attention towards the remaining Netherworld's Fire on the entrance wall and tested the Divine Treasure's power right away! He reached his hands forward and shouted, 'Come here!' and the Netherworld Fire on the wall immediately gathered in his hands!

Yi Tianyun smirked and immediately put the Netherworld's Fire inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl! This pearl could produce its own Netherworld's Fire, but it was in a small amount, it was better to gather and acquire the Netherworld's Fire on the outside world to charge the Netherworld's Fire and thus increased the Divine Treasure's ability!

But the thing was Netherworld's Fire was rare, that was why not many people have their own Heavenly Flames! Yi Tianyun then successfully absorbed all the lingering Netherworld's Fire inside the Netherworld Treasure Pearl, and then he walked towards Ren Long and the Old Ancestor.

"This is great! I got one more fire to use in the future! This fight has a nice ending!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked happily. After all, Netherworld's Fire wasn't evil in nature. It was the same as any other Heavenly Flames, the only thing that was evil was the people that used it!

"Spirit King, how could you absorb that much Netherworld's Fire?" Old Ancestor asked curiously.

"This is thanks to a divine tool that I just got from killing the Netherworld Emperor earlier! Now I can control the Netherworld's Fire that I can see!" Yi Tianyun said to Old Ancestor honestly, he trusted the people around him. Thus he didn't need to lie about his achievement.

"You really killed the Netherworld Emperor? You even procure his Divine Tools! You are amazing, Spirit King!" Old Ancestor said excitedly. "Let's get out first, I believe the people upstairs were worried about your safety!" Old Ancestor said as he smiled toward Yi Tianyun.

"You are truly amazing, Brother Yi! The Heavenly Dragon Empire was very lucky to have a prince as powerful as you are! Now, as soon as we get out of here, I will immediately order the soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Empire to wipe out the Netherworld Empire's influence on this continent! There would be no more Netherworld's Empire after this day!" Ren Long said solemnly.

"Yes, I agree with you, brother! there is no more Netherworld's Empire after this day!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled happily towards Ren Long!

Chapter 449

Ren Long and the Old Ancestor walked up the stairs cheerfully as they thought that the battle was over, but Yi Tianyun immediately looked solemn and shook his head.

"What's wrong, Spirit King?" Old Ancestor asked as he saw Yi Tianyun's solemn look.

"Things ain't over yet! The Netherworld's Empire sure is done for, but I am afraid we got ourselves a new enemy! the Netherworld Empire has allied themselves with a Divine Nation messenger, and I am afraid the Divine Nation will come after us soon!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"A Divine Nation?" Ren Long and the Old Ancestor was shocked, they knew that the Divine Nation was the next step after an Empire, but they've never heard of the Divine Nation faction, so they thought the Divine Nation only existed in fairy tales and myths.

If it really existed, then it meant that the faction would be swarmed with so many Void Spirit cultivators as it was said that Divine Nation place was a paradise for cultivators on earth! They had abundant resources and so many Divine Tools to help them grow!

"I know that this is a serious matter, so with that thought, we have to let the others know what we're going to deal with in the future! But to avoid causing chaos in our rank, we have to tell the Elder rank and above first!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"I agree with Spirit King's decision. We have to keep the disciple in the dark for the time being." Old Ancestor said while nodding his head.

"But, let's go up from now!" Yi Tianyun said as he made his way upstairs. But as he walked upstairs, Yi Tianyun looked back for a while, and he knew that he would be back here soon to empower the Netherworld Treasure Pearl further! After all, the hole in the center of the room earlier was a natural Netherworld's Fire reservoir.

As soon as Yi Tianyun reached the throne room, everybody immediately shouted and cheered for Yi Tianyun as they felt relieved that Yi Tianyun was safe and sound! But that was not all! They also knew that Yi Tianyun must have won against the Netherworld Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't be coming out this fast!

"I knew that you would return safely!" Shi Xueyun said as she hugged Yi Tianyun and smiled at him warmly.

Yi Tianyun also smiled at her, and everyone who loyally waited for him to return.

Things soon came to an end, and the Heavenly Clouds Mansion disciple and Heaven Dragon Empire's soldier cooperated to clean up the mess in Netherworld's Imperial City by burning all the corpses. Yi Tianyun then tasked the Spirit Sect to seek and destroy the remnant of the Netherworld Empire that may still exist in the Netherworld Continent to reduce Heavenly Dragon Empire's workload.

Yi Tianyun also provided help for the Spirit Sect by sending the Black Dragon and the Red Dragon along to help them if, by any chance, they encountered a difficult opponent. But before all that, Yi Tianyun gathered the Elder Ranks and above to talk about the imminent problem. The result of that gathering was positive as it was true that everyone felt a little afraid as they weren't prepared to fight against an opponent that they thought was just a myth! 𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢

"How can we fight against a Divine Nation, if it wasn't for the Mansion Lord's power, we wouldn't even stand a chance against the Netherworld Empire!" an Elder said nervously.

"This isn't the case! We still didn't know when the Divine Nation would attack, they may not even come! But one thing is clear. We still must prepare for their attack, whether they truly come or not! And don't worry too much, from the looks of things, it is impossible for the Divine Nation to attack on a large scale as it would hurt their pride! I believe we will see the arrival of a small-scale expert from them!" Yi Tianyun said, trying to keep everyone calm.

Yi Tianyun checked everyone's expression, and he noticed that everyone wasn't thoroughly convinced and so he reassured everyone once again.

"I know that we have no chance against them now, but I also know that if we are given enough time, we would be stronger than any Divine Nation! We defeated the Netherworld Empire that everyone said was undefeatable! We could do anything we want if we got the time to prepare for it!" Yi Tianyun said wholeheartedly.

Yi Tianyun's words were reassuring! The people that Yi Tianyun gathered began to ponder and they felt that Yi Tianyun's word was indeed correct, they have achieved many feats together that were almost impossible in an ordinary cultivator's eyes. In fact, they realized that their progression through their cultivation was faster than normal.

"Mansion Lord is right! We must be confident in ourselves! We have our Mansion Lord that would help us get through the enemy! We have to try and brace ourselves for the future is yet to come!" an elder said confidently.

Everyone began to nod their head as they also thought the same thing as the Elder. Their feelings began to unite as their trust in Yi Tianyun was unwavering, so they will support Yi Tianyun's every decision from now on.

"Don't worry, no matter how powerful the enemy is, we will be able to overcome anything!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Everyone began to cheer and chant Yi Tianyun's name as they felt the powerful word from Yi Tianyun.

After making it clear, Yi Tianyun let them continue with their task to eliminate the rest of the Netherworld Empire. Everyone quickly left to deal with their own task while Yi Tianyun was left behind with Shi Xueyun.

"Aunt, I am sorry, it seems troubles never leave me alone." Yi Tianyun said shyly.

"That is okay. It only shows that you are not a person that could be dictated by anyone, making you more trustworthy and more capable of leading us to glory. But you must know that whatever path you take, I will be there to support you always!" Shi Xueyun said warmly with confidence on her face.

Chapter 450

Shi Xueyun's expression suddenly became sad as she remembered that she wasn't that much of a help. Yi Tianyun saw Shi Xueyun's expression changed and thus immediately embraced her.

"What are you thinking now, Aunt? Why are you sad?" Yi Tianyun said endearingly.

"Tianyun, I feel like I can't keep up with you anymore. When you go down there to fight against the Netherworld Emperor, I didn't even have any qualifications to check your safety! You know that all I want is to be close to you!" Shi Xueyun said, still with a sad expression.

Yi Tianyun clasped her hands and looked her in the eyes.

"Don't you remember that every time I came back, you were the first one that I tried to find?" Yi Tianyun smiled faintly. He knew that he could neither help Shi Xueyun that much about her feelings; nor could he help her with her cultivation.

But he knew that he could give her all the medicinal pills that she needed, or the martial arts that she took an interest in, or any weapons that she could use to perfection.

Shi Xueyun's cultivation was already good enough, but she still had a hard time breaking through to the advanced level.

Shi Xueyun was a little bit startled as she remembered that Yi Tianyun always went straight to find her as soon as he returned to the sect.

"There are only a select few who could work side by side with me, but you are the only person that I would come back to, the person I could say I am home to!" Yi Tianyun said softly with a warm smile.

Shi Xueyun then leaned on Yi Tianyun's shoulder as she didn't want to talk about it anymore, and she just wanted to be with Yi Tianyun for a while. Yi Tianyun let Shi Xueyun lean on him; he even made himself float to support their weight.

Yi Tianyun didn't know how to appease Shi Xueyun, but he knew that Shi Xueyun wouldn't give up cultivating, and she would one day stand beside Yi Tianyun equally! But for now, she didn't mind with this peaceful day either.

That also applied to Yi Yuwei and Jiu Lingyun! But as for now, they would help around the mansion by managing the Heavenly Clouds Mansion. Yi Tianyun didn't need to push them to cultivate as he knew that they would do it themselves!

After that, Yi Tianyun left to find a thing that he could do while Shi Xueyun was busy with various stuff that she had to take care of inside the Heavenly Jade Sect.

Yi Tianyun wanted to help with eliminating the rest of the Netherworld Empire, but he couldn't let anyone think that he didn't trust them, and so he only appeared when the enemy was a little bit tough to deal with. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

But he also made sure that anyone who has surrendered themselves would be spared! Those who surrendered wouldn't become slaves either, as Yi Tianyun would simply let them leave the Netherworld Continent.

Yi Tianyun didn't want to be cruel like the Netherworld Empire once was. He knew that those people didn't have any choice as they lived under the Netherworld Empire's influences, so Yi Tianyun only gave them the option to find another life somewhere else.

Finally, after a few weeks, only one city was left that was still under the influence of the Netherworld Empire, this city also housed the elite general and minister of the Netherworld Empire, and they were not willing to surrender!

"We will never surrender! If you want to occupy this city, you must get over our dead body!" the minister shouted from inside the city wall determinedly.

The rest of the Netherworld Empire's people inside also shouted the same thing from inside, successfully annoying Yi Tianyun to no end.

"It seems you are determined to have this final fight, aren't you? Did you know that there's no expert left who would save you? The Netherworld Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor are all dead!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Yi Tianyun's words silenced everyone inside. They've already known that the Netherworld Empire has fallen. But as they didn't see the death of the Netherworld Emperor themselves, they didn't believe the news that has been spreading around the world!

"Since you are still so stubborn about fighting my army, then I will give it to you now!" Yi Tianyun said as he reached his hands forward as a sign to push forward.

The Red Dragon and the Black Dragon immediately rushed towards the City Gate and busted it while also spewing hot fire to the cultivators inside the city.

These two dragons have already broken through to the Void Spirit Stage. Thus, if the enemy didn't have anyone on the same level as the Imperial Preceptor, these two dragons would be unstoppable!

After a while, the city was in flames as the dragons burned every house that the enemy cultivators tried to run into. But the sound that Yi Tianyun was waiting for finally came!

"We are wrong! Please, we surrender!" The cultivator from inside the city shouted nervously.

The enemy's morale has already dropped to the ground, Yi Tianyun knew that those people would never fight against him anymore, but he still must give some sort of punishment to these people.

"Okay, I would give you one more chance, but if you make a wrong choice, you will die immediately." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

This was Yi Tianyun's way of showing mercy and salvation. It could be said that he didn't want to go on a path like the atrocities that the Netherworld Empire has done this whole time.

Chapter 451

After those who surrendered passed the test that Yi Tianyun gave, they were immediately imprisoned for the moment, while those who didn't pass Yi Tianyun's test were immediately killed by the Heavenly Clouds Mansion's people!

There was no merit in keeping these people alive as Yi Tianyun's test was to see whether they would still kill the innocent after they were freed or what they'd change their ways in the future.

The purge was finally over. The Netherworld Empire's influence officially disappeared that day!

'Successfully took over a new Main Quest [Build the Heavenly Clouds Empire!]'

'Reward on Completion: Exp, 20.000.000 Cps, 2.000.000 Mastery points, 2.000.000 Sps, Title [The Great Emperor!]'

'Completion Condition: Void Spirit Expert: 2/10, Core Transformation Expert: 8/50, Spirit Core Expert: 37/500. Build 1 Imperial City. Note: Only cultivators with 200 Favorability points or above will be included in the tally, and pets aren't included!'

Finally, a new main quest! The difficulty was far too hard for Yi Tianyun now. He would have a hard time to find or cultivate another 8 Void Spirit Expert, not to mention his sect must have at least 50 Core Transformation Experts!

If he waited for the people from his mansion to reach that cultivation level, it would take a lot of time and a lot of resources that he couldn't afford now.

If he could merge with the Heavenly Dragon Empire, the difficulty of this main quest would be reduced by half, but it would still be a challenge even if he managed to do so! After all, raising the new people's favorability up to 200 was tough!

He had no choice but to put this Main Quest aside for now, but he knew that he would have a harder time to level up after this! Yi Tianyun then looked at the new Title that he just got to see what bonus it would give.

[Punisher of the Wicked and the Destroyer of Evil!] title: Prestige Point increased by 500! 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝒓𝙚𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝙤𝙢

The effect was straightforward! But at least it was better than the [Empire's God Protector] title that he got after defending the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City! The [Empire's God Protector] title only gave 5x defense power if he was inside the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City. If he left, the effect was also gone!

After everything was resolved, an assembly was once again held, and this time the disciple was also included. This assembly would be a report about the spoils of war they got in the Netherworld Empire's City.

"The War Wolf team got 30 Soul Tools, 50 Medicinal Pills, 10 Earth Level Martial Arts, 20 Human-Level ..." the War Wolf team leader said loudly.

"Sirius Team got 27 Soul Tools, 58 Medicinal Pills, 8 Earth Level Martial Arts, 17 Human-Level ..." Sirius Team Leader said loudly.

One after another, the team leader reported their findings to be recorded by the mansion's treasurer for future use. This team was also formed to make things more convenient for them in the time that they roamed the Netherworld Empire to purge the Netherworld Empire's influence.

Each team had a Core Transformation Stage expert as their leader. Thus, they didn't have to be afraid to encounter any opponent at the Core Transformation stage.

In the meantime, Yi Tianyun kept listening to the resources that the teams got in their runs. These resources were quite helpful as it was impossible for him to fill the quota for everyone's cultivation resources alone.

After all, teams were done with their report. They looked expectantly at Yi Tianyun as they waited for Yi Tianyun to speak. After all, Yi Tianyun was the Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Clouds Mansion.

"You have done well! Now, these loots that you have reported would be yours. I hope that you can use that to become stronger in the future!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Mansion Lord!" They all said simultaneously in an excited manner.

Yi Tianyun knew that they had worked hard in purging the Netherworld Empire's influence, and some of them even got seriously injured! This reward that Yi Tianyun gave for them would hopefully raise their morale.

Naturally, now that Yi Tianyun was a Mansion Lord, he needed to know when to give the rewards and the punishment!

But as soon as the excitement calmed down a little bit, an elder quickly voiced himself.

"Now that we have overthrown the Netherworld Empire, how about we build the Heavenly Clouds Empire? Our Mansion Lord's strength is even beyond Emperor Ren's power. I believe that we can build an empire based on this fact!" the elder said confidently.

Everyone became excited once again as they found the elder's words made sense. After all, Yi Tianyun's power was strong enough to overthrow an Empire by himself! This time, everyone's eyes looked over to Yi Tianyun once more. It was all depending on Yi Tianyun's approval.

"It wouldn't be easy! Many alliances will target us for announcing our step up into an Empire stage!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"We know, but the Netherworld Empire was the second most powerful Empire, and we have destroyed them! We still have to carefully plan everything, but we will succeed!" one elder said passionately.

"I agree with the elder! With the Spirit King's influence and power, we have enough power to become the next Empire!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said as he stepped forward.

Everyone's eyes showed the look of excitement, and Yi Tianyun himself couldn't help but get excited as his main quest was to upgrade this fraction into an empire!

Chapter 452

Everyone waited for Yi Tianyun's decision expectantly. If Yi Tianyun said that they shouldn't think about it, for the time being, they would immediately put the thought behind and focus on their own job. Everyone would gladly follow all of Yi Tianyun's decisions!

But no one knew that Yi Tianyun had already thought about becoming an Emperor himself! Making the Heavenly Clouds Mansion to Heavenly Clouds Empire was his Main Quest.

Therefore, he has already thought about the process of becoming one.

He knew that three strong influences were enough to become an empire, and Ren Long from the Heavenly Dragon Empire would back him up!

He knew that the Heavenly Dragon Empire wouldn't mind if Heavenly Clouds Mansion wanted to become an Empire.

The first thing he needed would be the establishment of the Imperial City, and then the establishment of other cities to provide support for the Imperial City and division around the continent, forming a large-scale network inside the continent that the empire was in! This required a huge amount of cultivators. Otherwise, it wouldn't be manageable!

Yi Tianyun knew that if cities were built and became prosperous, the cultivators would come by themselves eventually, there would be no need to search for one, but still, for Yi Tianyun's main quest to be completed, he needed the cultivator to have 200 favorability points!

Yi Tianyun knew that he had to expand the Heavenly Clouds Mansion so everyone would recognize him as the same powerful man that the Heavenly Clouds Mansion now recognized. He knew that cultivator's respect was all based on the amount of power that they had! 𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Okay, we should try to create our own empire! We would take this Netherworld Continent for ourselves, and from now on, this continent wouldn't be called Netherworld Continent, but instead, it would be called Heavenly Clouds Continent!" Yi Tianyun said imposingly.

He was excited deep down as with this, his progress through his Main Quest would be going smoothly.

Many Elders were surprised that Yi Tianyun accepted their words and even announced the name of the continent!

They immediately stood up from their seats and started to chant 'Great Emperor Yi Tianyun!' as they became more excited than ever.

"We were truly blessed to crown you as our Spirit King!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said as he laughed excitedly on the side.

At the same time, they've already occupied one continent, and that would do their job to organize the continent easier, as this continent was already purged from the influence of the Netherworld Empire!

"Okay, now listen, you can't call me The Great Emperor just yet. we have to manage the change first and make sure that the continent is ready for the new empire, and I hope all of you can work together to manage this shift from the Mansion status to empire since I never handled this kind of thing before!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, Mansion Lord! Let us take care of such things! we couldn't help you in a fight, but we can help you out in things like this properly." Yi Yuwei said at the side as she immediately stood up with Ye Qingxuan beside her.

"And we too aren't good at fighting, but we could do something for the protection of the Empire!" Yang Yu said as he stood up along with Xu Fei.

"Thank you, everyone! You really make my position as a Mansion Lord that much easier." Yi Tianyun said as he felt delighted inside.

"No, Mansion Lord! This is all because of you! Without your help, we wouldn't be able to come this far!" everyone said as they began to show their gratitude for Yi Tianyun.

They admired Yi Tianyun's fortitude, as they were saved at some point in their life by Yi Tianyun's action. Yi Tianyun smiled at them all without saying anything else. He knew that he trusted the right people.

Soon they were immediately splitting up as the assembly was done, and now, they had work to build the Netherworld Imperial City to become their Heavenly Clouds Imperial City.

"Little Brother Yi, you train outstanding people here. They were loyal to you." Ren Long said enviously.

"That is because they all put their belief in me." Yi Tianyun said with a smile to Ren Long.

"Don't worry, Little Brother! The Heavenly Dragon Empire would always become your greatest ally. We will help you if you need anything!" Ren Long said with a smile on his face.

But he immediately looked around, and once he saw that there was no one else around, he whispered, "You could also take over our Heavenly Dragon Empire and merge it together with the Heavenly Clouds Mansion." Ren Long whispered casually.

"Are you sure? If your father ever returns, you will be skinned alive, no?" Yi Tianyun asked worriedly.

"Well, it turns out Prime Minister Long was a traitor, and if it weren't for you, the Heavenly Dragon Empire would've already long gone! Their return wouldn't change anything!" Ren Long said coldly as he remembered his parents left him without so much an explanation.

"We should talk about it later!" Yi Tianyun said as he knew that he must talk about this carefully.

"Okay, we could also bring our little sister to this conversation later. Don't worry too much. It should be easy for you to manage an empire with this loyal group of people you are having." Ren Long said with a smile on his face as he walked away from Yi Tianyun.

"Thank you very much, Big Brother Ren! I will see you later!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Ren Long and waved him goodbye.𝓵𝒊𝓫𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

His thoughts immediately changed. He immediately left towards the Heavenly Clouds Palace to find an empty room and thought about his next move to obtain Exp. In the pressure of the Divine Nation, he couldn't waste his time!

Chapter 453

Yi Tianyun immediately headed towards the old Netherworld Palace, to be precise, the Netherworld's Fire natural resource. When he arrived there, he was welcomed by some guards that were tasked to guard the palace.

Although the city has been cleared out, the Netherworld Imperial City was still usable and fortunately only suffered minor damage to the buildings, and so Yi Tianyun's Heavenly Clouds Empire could still use this city.

As he went down on the passage behind the throne, he noticed that the Netherworld's Fire inside was still the same as he left it earlier.

But something was different this time, as Yi Tianyun entered the room with the Netherworld's Fire, the Little Phoenix that was entrusted to him earlier flew out from his pet bar without Yi Tianyun's consent!

Then without asking for Yi Tianyun's permission, it started to consume the Netherworld's Fire with a satisfied expression.

"I don't know that you liked this kind of fire, Little Phoenix." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. Although the Little Phoenix was inside his pet bar earlier, Yi Tianyun knew that this Little Phoenix wasn't his pet.

He never used his taming ability to the Little Phoenix as he was only entrusted to take care of the Little Phoenix until he arrived at the phoenix nest!

This is also the reason that the Little Phoenix couldn't level up as fast as Yi Tianyun's dragon.

The Little Phoenix didn't pay any attention to Yi Tianyun as it knew that Yi Tianyun wouldn't harm it, and it continued to indulge in eating the Netherworld's Fire like it was starving, but this made sense as Yi Tianyun never gave it any food, to begin with.

"Eat slowly, little one! I will also join you in gathering this Netherworld's Fire." Yi Tianyun said as he immediately sat beside the Little Phoenix and pulled out his Netherworld Treasure Pearl.

Yi Tianyun then absorbed the Netherworld's Fire into the Netherworld Treasure Pearl with a speed that was faster than the Little Phoenix could eat the flame, but Yi Tianyun still left some Netherworld's Fire for the Little Phoenix to consume.

The Little Phoenix started squawking in annoyance as it realized that Yi Tianyun could absorb all the Netherworld's Fire eventually and left it with nothing. And so, he rushed towards Yi Tianyun and squawked out of control, as if protesting for Yi Tianyun taking its food away.

"Hey, Stop that! I am not using the Netherworld's Fire as I am only storing it in this Netherworld Treasure Pearl! I can take out the fire if you want to eat it later!" Yi Tianyun said as he tried to calm the Little Phoenix down.

After hearing Yi Tianyun's words, it calmed down and immediately started eating the Netherworld's Fire, once again ignoring Yi Tianyun. Yi Tianyun let the phoenix eat for now and started to absorb the Netherworld's Fire again.

He noticed that this place was like a storage room for the Netherworld's Fire so that the Netherworld Emperor could easily cultivate it with the help of his Netherworld Great Array.

But Yi Tianyun also noticed that the Netherworld Treasure Pearl was far more advanced than the Netherworld Great Array. He was thankful that Ming Chen didn't give control over the Divine Treasure to the Netherworld Emperor earlier!

But Yi Tianyun's curious mind began to wonder as to why the Netherworld's Fire could continue to erupt from the hole in the middle of the room. Yi Tianyun wondered and inspected the hole as it piqued his curiosity.

But he quickly lost interest and instead went back to absorbing the Netherworld's Fire to the Netherworld Treasure Pearl. But the speed of the absorption annoyed Yi Tianyun as the Netherworld Treasure Pearl couldn't absorb the Netherworld's Fire as fast as he wanted it to be.

Yi Tianyun quickly activated his Heaven Swallowing Secret art so that he could also absorb the Netherworld's Fire to upgrade it from the Middle-Grade Earth Level Fire.

The Netherworld's Fire was the same as his Immortal Fire. If he could get a bunch of it, he could use it to further increase its mastery! After all, he still had a lot of time in his hands, and there was no enemy!

As time passed, Yi Tianyun was shocked as he heard a little girl's voice behind him.

"I am hungry!" The little girl said as she was sprawling on the floor behind Yi Tianyun without any coverage hiding her body.

"What? Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Yi Tianyun asked with a surprised tone in his voice.

"I am hungry, give me food!" the little girl said as she stood up and scratched Yi Tianyun's hand.

"This claw marks! You are that Little Phoenix!" Yi Tianyun said as he was surprised to see the claw mark.

"Why didn't you recognize me? That aside, I am hungry! I want that fire immediately!" The little girl said as she pointed her finger towards the Netherworld's Fire.

Yi Tianyun looked closely at the little girl's arm, and he finally noticed phoenix feathers covering the back of her arms, confirming that the little girl was indeed the Little Phoenix.

Besides, how could a little girl enter the Netherworld's Palace without Yi Tianyun noticing!

Yi Tianyun pulled out a nice casual suit for the little girl to wear as she was bare naked right now.

"I don't want to wear this suit! It's uncomfortable!" The little girl said annoyedly. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Wear it. Otherwise, I will not give you the Netherworld's Fire!" Yi Tianyun said threateningly.

"Okay, okay! I will wear it, now give me food!" The little girl said as she puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"Here, eat it until you're full!" Yi Tianyun said as he set aside a bunch of Netherworld's Fire for the Little Phoenix to eat. After seeing the Little Phoenix become a human, Yi Tianyun was worried as he kept thinking about how to return the Little Phoenix inside his pet bar!

Chapter 454

Not taking too long after Yi Tianyun gave the Netherworld's Fire for the Little Phoenix to eat, she began to pester Yi Tianyun once again as the fire earlier was already gone. "Hey, I want more food!" said the little girl.

"You're already finished? You are quite fast!" Yi Tianyun said as he was startled to see that the Little Phoenix had finished her share of Netherworld's Fire. 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"Eat it from there, but be careful! Don't eat too much!" Yi Tianyun said as he pointed his finger towards the middle of the room where the Netherworld's Fire was erupting.

"Yay, thank you!" the Little Phoenix said as he immediately rushed towards the center of the room and feasted on the Netherworld's Fire from its source!

Yi Tianyun knew that the Phoenix Clan had a strong resistance toward the fire. But he never knew that they also grew by consuming the fire. He noticed this fact as he realized that the Little Phoenix's cultivation was already at Core Condensation Stage now while she was still Spirit Refinement stage a while ago!

Yi Tianyun knows that if he himself was under-leveled, this Netherworld's Fire could obviously boost his level quickly, and that was what happened to the Little Phoenix!

Yi Tianyun stopped looking at the Little Phoenix and quickly absorbed the Netherworld's Fire himself! Eventually, the Netherworld's Fire from that hole depleted as it couldn't keep up with these two!

Yi Tianyun was the first one to notice that the fire had dwindled and so he slowed down his absorption speed to let the source discharge more fire.

"Hey, the fire is gone!" The Little Phoenix said as she was sad to see her food source dwindled.

"Well, let's see what is happening below. Maybe the fire was far more powerful down there." Yi Tianyun said to the little girl as he reached to grab the little girl's hands. He then hugged the little girl closely and flew down the hole that provided the Netherworld's Fire.

Yi Tianyun continued to absorb the excess fire that appeared around him to his Netherworld Treasure Pearl while still hugging the little girl. But they immediately arrived at the bottom of the hole, and there was a big open space underneath!

"Don't move your head! Whatever happens, don't look over!" Yi Tianyun said to the little girl as he was shocked upon what he saw in the open space on the bottom of the hole, there was a mountain of bones! Human bones!

Yi Tianyun was still holding the Netherworld Treasure Pearl with one hand to continue absorbing the Netherworld's Fire, but he wasn't as excited as he was before! He finally knew that the Netherworld's Fire was formed by piling corpses, like a ghost leaving its body behind!

This was undoubtedly the Netherworld Emperor's doing, he constantly captured people, and those rebelling against him would be thrown here, while the rest worked for him inside the mines in the Netherworld Prison!

Yi Tianyun was embarrassed that this kind of Empire even existed! An Empire built on top of a pile of corpses, there was nothing more disgusting and pitiful as this!

Yi Tianyun also noticed that the Netherworld' fire production speed also slowed down, meaning that this place hasn't received any fresh corpses recently. It was understandable that the resources wouldn't be permanent!

"Rest in peace, everyone. I will make sure this place will no longer be usable from now on!" Yi Tianyun said as he summoned his own phantom shadow and ordered it to start smashing the wall on the cave to collapse it, burying every bone in the place.

Yi Tianyun immediately took a deep breath as he knew that burying this place down wouldn't be easy as the place was big. He didn't even care about what Treasure that may await him below the pile of bones.

He wasn't interested in any of it after seeing this heinous place! He didn't even know whether he would use the Netherworld's Fire ever again or not!

He only absorbed the Netherworld's Fire once he realized where it came from as he didn't want the Netherworld's Fire from these people to be used again somehow in the future, and so he depleted all of them!

Yi Tianyun and his Phantom Shadow kept hitting the wall in order to destroy the place and buried all these bones. It was a hard task to do. However, with Yi Tianyun's tremendous power, it still collapsed like he originally intended it to be.

Once it started to cave in, Yi Tianyun immediately flew up towards the room earlier, and he also slammed the wall on the hole to make it collapse and blocked the way towards the burial place that he made earlier.

Now Yi Tianyun was satisfied as he thought that the place was clearly covered, and no one else would be able to use this heinous place to cultivate as the Netherworld Emperor did!

When he left the room towards the Netherworld Throne Room, the guards were waiting for him. They were worried as they felt the earthquake from beneath their feet as the result of Yi Tianyun collapsing the room below earlier.

They asked Yi Tianyun about what happened below and also the identity of the girl in Yi Tianyun's arms. They remembered that Yi Tianyun didn't bring anyone earlier.

So they were curious about the girl, but Yi Tianyun didn't answer them, but he let go of the little girl and pulled out a stone tablet instead.

'Tomb of the Innocent!'

'Rest in Peace! The Netherworld Empire has been destroyed!'

Yi Tianyun wrote on the stone tablet and showed his respect for the last time.

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully unlock the achievement [Super Soul!]'

'Reward: Title [Transcendent!]'

The system notices immediately appeared as Yi Tianyun finished showing his respect!

Chapter 455

The system appeared before Yi Tianyun, the Tombstone that Yi Tianyun placed on the top of the staircase, was also shining because of Yi Tianyun's achievement. The light from the Tombstone shot out to the sky with a radiating light!

The guards on the scene were surprised by the event. It looked like a heavenly light! After a while, the light disappeared, and everything was back to normal.

Truth be told, Yi Tianyun was the most surprised of the situation earlier, he never expected to get a title for something simple like giving a tombstone to a massacre spot!

Transcendent: a title obtained by appeasing the resentment in a big area. The user now could dispel evil, as the evil of the world would be easily overtaken, and the user could also see the spirit of people around him.

'DING!'

'Successfully obtained skill [Soul Guide]'

Soul Guide: Can guide the player to a place shown on Quest or Treasure Map, but can only be used once!

"This is amazing! This skill would enable me to find anything that I want!" Yi Tianyun said as he checked his item list, and sure enough, he saw the Ghost World Treasure Maps that Ming Chen left behind. But he noticed that the Soul Guide can only be used once for now.

He wondered what the first thing he needed, for now, he was particularly torn on the option of clearing the Phoenix's side quest or completing the Ghost World Treasure Map!

But Yi Tianyun decided to clear the Phoenix's side quest first, as he thought that if he successfully got the support from the Phoenix Clan, his empire would become more stable. The only reason that Yi Tianyun didn't try to complete that side quest yet was that he didn't know where to go.

"Hey, what was the light just now all about? It looks so beautiful!" Little Phoenix said with glittering eyes.

"That was the light from all the souls that were trapped down there!" Yi Tianyun said relaxedly. He knew that he made the right decision to destroy the cave down so that no one would ever get to use it again.

But the guards were more interested in the little girl beside Yi Tianyun as they saw that she spoke casually with Yi Tianyun. They began to wonder if the girl was Yi Tianyun's daughter. If so, then Yi Tianyun must have got her at an early age!

Yi Tianyun ignored all the states that the guards threw at him as he didn't want to explain anything, and so he took the Little Phoenix and flew toward the Heavenly Clouds Palace.

"Mansion Lord, Spirit Race Old Ancestor, entrusted me with a message; he wants to see you immediately if you return!" The guard of the palace said politely as Yi Tianyun and the Little Phoenix arrived at the gate.

"Okay, thank you." Yi Tianyun said as he walked inside with the Little Phoenix.

Yi Tianyun took the Little Phoenix's hand as he walked, raising many more questions among the surrounding guards and the disciple that walked in and out of the palace. They knew that Yi Tianyun always brought people back with him, but this time it was only a little girl!

"Where is this? this place looks beautiful!" Little Phoenix said as she looked around curiously. She has stayed in Yi Tianyun's pet bar for so long. So, she didn't know what happened in the outside world.

"This is my place, I live here, and you can too if you want!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at the Little Phoenix.

"Mansion, Lord! Who is this Little Girl? She is so cute! Can I hug her?" Yi Yuwei said as she saw Yi Tianyun coming.

"No! I only want to be hugged by him!" the Little Phoenix said as she hid behind Yi Tianyun's leg.

"What? Are you Mansion Lord's daughter?" Yi Yuwei asked curiously. 𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Yes, I am!" The Little Phoenix said graciously.

"Wow, Mansion Lord! I always thought that you were single until now! I never expected that you'd already have a daughter outside!" Yi Yuwei said in shock.

"Don't mind her, that wasn't the case! I don't want to talk about it for now!" Yi Tianyun said annoyedly.

At the same time, Shi Xueyun walked out and saw Yi Tianyun with a little girl, which piqued her curiosity.

"Yi Tianyun, where did you find this cute girl? Usually, you'd bring some scary or beautiful cultivators with you." Shi Xueyun said curiously.

But when the Little Phoenix saw Shi Xueyun, she suddenly became excited and immediately jumped towards her while shouting 'Mother!'

Shi Xueyun was surprised, and so was everyone else! They thought that the Little Girl was Yi Tian Yun, but after thinking about it a little bit, they knew that Yi Tianyun was too young to have one on his own. Besides, the little girl looked a lot like Shi Xueyun.

"What are you talking about, child?" Shi Xueyun said as she blushed from embarrassment.

"This is definitely my mother's smell! I am sure of it! I can smell you in my father's clothes too!" The Little Phoenix said confidently while pointing her finger at Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun was embarrassed by the entire situation. He never expected the Little Phoenix would make these kinds of claims. Is it possible that her memories were confused between Shi Xueyun and the mother phoenix?

But the damage has been done! Many people were surprised and shocked at the same time. They knew that Yi Tianyun and Shi Xueyun were close, but they never expected for them to have this kind of relationship!

"Stop imagining things! This is all just a big misunderstanding!" Yi Tianyun shouted while still feeling embarrassed about the situation.

Chapter 456

All of them were too shocked to even listen to Yi Tianyun, as they began to wonder when did Shi Xueyun have the time to conceive the child.

They knew that the Heavenly Jade Sect originally had a term that said the Palace Lord must take a vow of chastity, and so maybe Shi Xueyun and Yi Tianyun hid their true relationship from everyone!

They didn't know what to say; they knew that the Heavenly Jade was now a part of Heavenly Clouds Mansion, meaning the rules that burdened the people inside the Heavenly Jade and two other sects was abolished, but still, this news was too much!

"Stop with the stars! This is all a misunderstanding!" Yi Tianyun said bitterly as he looked over to everyone on the scene.

"Yi Tianyun, what is going on? I have to explain it to them too!" Shi Xueyun said as she was more confused than shocked!

"It's a long story! I will talk about it after the situation here has resolved." Yi Tianyun said as he gathered everyone who saw the misunderstanding in the nearest conference room. Inside, he immediately revealed that the little girl was a phoenix from the Phoenix Clan.

After knowing the fact that the little girl was a phoenix, the people inside were still shocked! Phoenix was rarer than Dragons in this part of the world after all. But it was obvious that the misunderstanding about Yi Tianyun and Shi Xueyun was already resolved!

Yi Tianyun then showed the beautiful feathers behind the little girl's arm. This was proof that all that he said was true!

"I found her when she was still a little bird, but after I let her eat the Netherworld's Fire under the Netherworld Palace, she became like this! After I got out of that place, she began to call me father!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

The people nodded their heads as they began to see where the misunderstanding started.

"Yan'er! You can call me father, but don't call Shi Xueyun Mother, okay?" Yi Tianyun said with a reprimanding tone. He called the little girl little phoenix until now, but he knew that the phoenix's name was Yan'er.

"No! She was too cute! I don't mind if she wants to call me mother, I don't see any problem with that!" Shi Xueyun said as she held Yan'er dearly.

Yi Tianyun was surprised by Shi Xueyun's answer. He didn't know what to say to that, and so he showed an awkward smile. If this continued, people would talk, and it would become a problem, but if this was what Shi Xueyun wanted, Yi Tianyun could only show support!

"So, I'd like to keep One's identity as a phoenix hidden for now! I want everyone in this room to keep this information to themselves! If anybody asks, just say that she is my adopted daughter!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Shi Xueyun's expression suddenly lightened, and she smiled brightly as she was happy for Yan'er. Everyone else also nodded their heads knowingly. They knew that if a Phoenix was found here, many greedy people would try to steal her!

After everyone left the conference room, Shi Xueyun was left behind with Yi Tianyun and Yan'er.

"If you want a child, we could have one later, okay!" Yi Tianyun whispered to Shi Xueyun's ear.

"What are you saying! I will take Yan'er to play now!" Shi Xueyun said as she blushed and walked away from Yi Tianyun with a beaming Yan'er in her hands.

Yi Tianyun smirked as he observed Shi Xueyun walking away with Yan'er. He already knew that both belonged to him! After all, Shi Xueyun was the first woman in his life that could make his heart beat irregularly! 𝑙𝑖𝑏𝓇𝘦𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After he was done with this Divine Nation problem, he promised himself that he would make Shi Xueyun his Dao Companion! After all, they didn't share the same blood, so there would be no problem with that decision!

After all that, he immediately walked deeper into the palace to meet with the Old Ancestor.

"Come, Spirit King! I've already chosen several suitable places to become our new Imperial City! I need to hear what you think about them." Old Ancestor said as Yi Tianyun walked inside the strategy room.

Yi Tianyun looked over to the point that the Old Ancestor had made on the newly acquired Heavenly Clouds Continent, and after thinking for a while, he pointed to the middle of the map.

"I think this place would be good. We will make the Imperial City in the center of the Continent!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"I agree, Spirit King. That place has the Spiritual Vein flowing under it, we can make use of it to make our own Great Array!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said excitedly.

"Then, it's settled! The new Heavenly Clouds Imperial City would be built on that location, and I will leave the process to you as I didn't really understand what needs to be built there!" Yi Tianyun said confidently, he immediately observed the map one more time, and something else caught his attention.

"Is this the Netherworld passage?" Yi Tianyun asked the Spirit Race Old Ancestor.

"Yes, that is the Netherworld Passage, the Netherworld Continent's Dangerous Area, but now it was already part of Heavenly Clouds Continent. Would you like to change this place's name, Spirit King? This place has the same status as the Coiling Dragon Cave from the Heavenly Dragon Empire!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said casually.

"No, no! I just thought of something else!" Yi Tianyun said as he began to wonder about the two items that he got from Prime Minister Long and Ming Chen.

Netherworld Passage Chart: Details about the Netherworld Passage!

Ghost World Treasure Map: A map containing info about the Ghost World's Treasure!

These two items were recommended for Void Spirit Stage Cultivator. So, this place must have a valuable treasure in it! "Does this Netherworld Passage lead to the Ghost World?" Yi Tianyun asked the Old Ancestor again.

"As far as the rumor says, yes, but I have never heard anyone coming back after entering the Netherworld Passage. I think this place was more dangerous than the Coiling Dragon Cave." Spirit Race Old Ancestor said honestly. "Why did you ask about this matter, Spirit King? Did you plan on entering the site?" The Spirit Race Old Ancestor asked curiously.

"Yeah, I have that plan on my mind." Yi Tianyun said as he kept wondering when he should go to the Netherworld Passage.

"Spirit King, I know that your current cultivation was very strong, but please be careful! This Dangerous Zone is full of the unexpected. If you encountered some trouble there and failed to get out, our empire would be paralyzed!" Spirit Race Old Ancestor said nervously.

"Yeah, that is true, but I have to become stronger fast! I still wouldn't be able to handle the Divine Nation if they attack now!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Chapter 457

Yi Tianyun has already decided his next step, and Spirit Race Old Ancestor knew that anything he said to deter Yi Tianyun would be pointless anyway, so he just sighed and let Yi Tianyun have his way.

"No matter what you do, Spirit King, I will support you. I will make sure everything is done while you are gone!" The Spirit Race Old Ancestor said politely. Yi Tianyun smiled in response to the Old Ancestor's words. He has gotten something that Ren Long has yet to obtain, a complete trust from his people!

Yi Tianyun then left Spirit Race Old Ancestor alone and went to an empty cultivation room to draw from the super-enhanced Lucky Draw that he got earlier. He was curious about what he would get from this one.

Once he was alone inside the Cultivation Room, he immediately opened the Super Enhanced Lucky Draw and immediately activated his Lucky Aura and activated the Lucky Draw!

With this much luck on his side, Yi Tianyun believed that he would get a Divine Ability out of this draw for sure! Even though he had so much Divine Ability now, there was no harm in acquiring more Divine Ability as it was necessary to fight against stronger enemies!

Yi Tianyun prayed for the gods above that his draw would land on a Divine Ability on this one! His prestige point was high enough to enhance his luck further, but Yi Tianyun had to be disappointed for this one, as it landed on Special Item!

"How can I still fail to get a Divine Ability with this much Luck!" Yi Tianyun said as he grumbled annoyedly. But he knew that a Special Item was the second-best thing that he could get from the Lucky Draw and so he immediately took the box that was dropped in front of him.

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully obtaining a rare item, Phantom Cloak!'

'Phantom Cloak: Resist any attack by Spirit King Stage cultivator or lower. Cooldown: 1 hour.'

"This item is good!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he read the description of the item that he got. This Phantom Cloak was an upgrade of his Shadow Cloak, as the Shadow Cloak only allowed him to resist an attack from the Core Transformation cultivators and below.

He was thankful that he got this Special Item instead of Consumables, he knew that Consumables were good too, but this Phantom Cloak was a lifesaver! Yi Tianyun believed that with this item, he would be a lot safer as he walked into the Netherworld Passage!

As Yi Tianyun didn't have anything else to do inside the cultivation room, he immediately walked out, and he immediately heard Shi Xueyun's voice and Yan'er not too far from there.

Yi Tianyun looked around and noticed that Shi Xueyun had bought Yan'er a sweet and were currently dancing around the room happily like a mother and her daughter would be.

Yi Tianyun suddenly felt reluctant to return Yan'er to the Phoenix Nest as he saw the scene in front of him right now! He didn't want to take Shi Xueyun's happiness away!

But he knew that completing his quest was better in the long run, and so he was determined to take Yan'er back to Phoenix Nest first before he went to Netherworld Passage to clear the Ghost World Treasure Map!

Yi Tianyun immediately walked towards Shi Xueyun and Yan'er to inform Shi Xueyun of Yan'er's status.

"Aunt! I am sorry to say this but, I've already promised Yan'er's mother that I would return her safely to the Phoenix Nest when I have the time to do that!" Yi Tianyun said sadly.

"What? Did you have to do that?" Shi Xueyun said as she was saddened by the thought of Yan'er leaving.

"I am afraid so, Aunt. Yan'er's mother has entrusted me with that task, so I have to fulfill it!" Yi Tianyun said determinedly.

He knew that a promise is sacred, so even if it was not a quest, he still must return Yan'er to Phoenix Nest safely. After all, the Phoenix Nest would have the best environment for Yan'er to grow!

"Well then, I see that you have already made up your mind. But did you know where this Phoenix Nest is?" Shi Xueyun asked curiously.

"I don't know just yet, but I will find out about it soon!" Yi Tianyun said confidently. He has the Soul Guide, and with it, he believed that he would be able to get to the Phoenix Nest eventually! If he didn't have the Soul Guide, he might be having a hard time finding this well-hidden Phoenix Nest!

Yi Tianyun then called Yan'er over and told her that they would be leaving soon.

"Where are we going?" Yan'er asked innocently as she kept stuffing her mouth with more sweets.

"I will return you back home!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Yan'er.𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Home?" Yan'er said as she tried to remember what it looked like, but failed to think of anything. Every Divine Beast would usually be infused with certain memories by their parents.

And it would gradually integrate with their own memories at a certain age, so Yi Tianyun knew that the word Home must've triggered some memories on Yan'er's mind, but it may come a little late.

After checking on everything else on the Heavenly Clouds Empire's agenda, Yi Tianyun immediately left with Yan'er. He didn't have any information about the Divine Nation that Ming Chen belonged to, so he must hurry up and become even stronger! 𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

But, as a precaution, Yi Tianyun has left every pet that he had in the Heavenly Clouds Palace while giving them the order to protect everyone there.

After flying quite far from the Heavenly Clouds Palace, Yi Tianyun immediately activated the Soul Guide.

"Help me find a way to Phoenix Nest!" Yi Tianyun shouted as he activated the Soul Guide. A blinding light immediately appeared, and Yi Tianyun immediately felt traction that was constantly pulling him towards a certain direction.

He immediately followed the lights, and after a while, he arrived at a gloomy path that was surrounded by a dark forest.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit confused about why the Phoenix Clan chose this kind of place as their nest, but as he went even further, a realization hit him!

"No way! This is the Ghost World Passage!" Yi Tianyun said, entirely surprised!

Chapter 458

Yi Tianyun was just thinking about going to this place after taking Yan'er back to the Phoenix Nest. He didn't expect that the Phoenix Nest would be inside the Ghost World Passage!

Yi Tianyun quickly pulled out the Netherworld Passage Chart that he got from Prime Minister Long to see what was recorded on it.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the Netherworld Passage layout was fairly simple. It only had one main road with no intersection!

But Yi Tianyun also noticed that along the way, there was some indication that the place was dangerous! From traps to a deadly demon beast!

There was no other explanation about anything that could help Yi Tianyun to travel this path safely, but at least he knew where the danger was!

"Well, two birds with one stone, I guess!" Yi Tianyun said as he shook his head and kept advancing forward. Yi Tianyun quickly noticed that the place has become darker than before. Furthermore, he could see black energy coming from the ground, further dyeing the place in black.

The Black Energy slowly came towards Yi Tianyun, but as it reached Yi Tianyun, it didn't do anything to him. Yi Tianyun didn't know whether it was because he was too strong or it really didn't do anything!

But soon, the black energy was closing in on Yan'er, and this time, it seeped into her clothes! She quickly waved her hands to shake off the black energy. She even used her Phoenix Fire to do that.

"Hey, this black mist makes me uncomfortable!" Yan'er said as she pouted on Yi Tianyun's embrace.

"Relax, I will take you back to a safe place, okay?" Yi Tianyun said as he looked at Yan'er's eyes.

"Okay!" Yan'er said right away.

Yi Tianyun then tried to sense Yan'er's existence and quickly put her on his Pet Bar once more. He thought that once Yan'er has become a human, she would no longer be able to get back to Yi Tianyun's pet bar, but he was just proved wrong!

"Really? It was that easy?" Yi Tianyun said as he was quite surprised by the power of his system. But now, the situation has changed.

He would no longer need to worry about Yan'er as she was safe inside his pet bar. But Yi Tianyun knew that Yan'er would be bored eventually, alone in the empty space.

"Yan'er, please stay in there, don't get out until I say so, okay?" Yi Tianyun said warmly.

"Okay, I know that!" Yan'er said from inside his pet bar. She felt uncomfortable inside the Netherworld Passage, and she much preferred to be in here! Yi Tianyun also let out the Netherworld's Fire from the Netherworld Treasure Pearl for Yan'er so that she could eat it slowly over time.

After solving Yan'er's problem, Yi Tianyun then kept advancing with the intention to find the Phoenix Nest and clear the Ghost World!

"I don't know what the situation would be inside the Ghost World if the Netherworld Passage was already this cold!" Yi Tianyun said as he advanced further.

Yi Tianyun noticed that this Dangerous Area was quite different from the Coiling Dragon Cave in the Heavenly Dragon Continent. The first thing that he noticed in this place was that there was no cultivator anywhere; the place was eerily silent!

Yi Tianyun knew that maybe the cultivator just wouldn't risk themselves on a quest that they wouldn't know what to expect. But maybe, there were already cultivators inside the Ghost World, freely cultivating their cultivation without any disturbance!

Yi Tianyun already heard the rumor about this dangerous area before. He knew that the area was divided into three realms, Heaven World, Ghost World, and Mortal World!

The Divine Nation's influence was said to be on the Heaven World and Ghost World! As it should be, Ming Chen seemed to relate to this Ghost World too, where the bad thing on the Mortal World was thrown out to!

But the Phoenix Nest should be in Heaven World, so Yi Tianyun was a little bit confused as to why the soul guide would bring him to Ghost World!

In any case, Yi Tianyun must continue onwards and finish his quest!

As he trudged onward, Yi Tianyun noticed that the black energy from before was getting thicker than ever. There was no way a normal cultivator would be able to come here without having their own source of fire to ward off this black energy!

After looking at the black energy with his Appraisal Eye, Yi Tianyun noticed that this Black Energy had a corrosion base effect, meaning that if anyone let this black energy invade their body, they would eventually turn into ashes!

Suddenly, the silence in that place was disturbed by the sound of thrown spikes! Yi Tianyun had already sensed this attack coming, so he quickly moved to the side, easily evading the attack. 𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

He looked over to the source of the attack and saw that no cultivator was attacking him, but a giant tree!

Without any warning, Yi Tianyun quickly pulled out the Immortal Fire and instantly lit the giant tree that attacked him just now! The giant tree quickly twisted in pain while being engulfed in the Immortal Fire. It eventually turned into ashes as it didn't have a way to shake off the fire.𝘭𝘪𝑏𝑟ℯ𝒶𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝘮

'DING!'

'Successfully killed a Demon Tree!'

'Reward: 36.000 Exp, 3.600 Cps, 100 Sps, Demon Tree Sap, Demon Tree Leaves.'

The reward notification came as the tree turned into ashes, and Yi Tianyun noticed that the reward was almost the same as killing a Spirit Core cultivator, which was not much on his current level.

Chapter 459

Fortunately for Yi Tianyun, even though it was startling to find a tree attacking him like that, he was still so much faster than it! If it was someone else with the same or maybe lower cultivation than he was currently at, that person might have already been stabbed by the Demon Tree spike! Now, Yi Tianyun expected things would be much worse as he kept advancing forward!

Yi Tianyun kept burning the Demon Tree that attacked him from left and right as he advanced further. Yi Tianyun didn't activate his Crazy Exp Mode for this mob as he knew that the amount of Exp he got would still be too little for it to be cost-effective. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This was also the first dangerous point that the Netherworld Passage Chart marked!

As he passed the Demon Tree territory, Yi Tianyun could see so many bones lying around on the ground. The bones have corroded and seemed like the ground was starting to swallow it! Yi Tianyun ignored this eerie scene and kept going onward! He eventually left the gloomy forest and arrived at the riverbank, where the water was as black as ink!

Yi Tianyun also noticed that several cultivators were also there, building something that looked like a boat! They were cutting trees and assembling them like a raft, Yi Tianyun instantly knew that it was for crossing this Black River!

Most of the cultivators that he saw were in the Core Transformation Stage. Some of them were even at Spirit Core Stage. It may be weird to see a group of Core Transformation Experts build a raft to cross the river while they should have been able to fly. But Yi Tianyun knew that this place wouldn't allow flying, just like the Coiling Dragon Cave.

Yi Tianyun also noticed that the cultivator also picked up the Spirit Flower and Spirit Grass along their way.

Eventually, a group of cultivators noticed Yi Tianyun standing not too far from the gloomy forest's exit.

"Hello, brother! Sorry to bother you, but are you going to Ghost World too, or are you here just to pick up the Spirit Medicine ingredient?" one of the cultivators in a group of three asked.

"I am planning on going to Ghost World!" Yi Tianyun said casually to the middle-aged man that asked him just now. This middle-aged man's cultivation was at the 3rd Layer Core Transformation Stage, but Yi Tianyun didn't see that this man belonged to any Faction, at least he didn't know yet.

"I see, my name is Ren Liangchen. My group and I were planning the same thing, may I ask how high is brother's cultivation right now?" the middle-aged man asked curiously as he saw that Yi Tianyun was too young.

"I am at the Core Transformation Rank." Yi Tianyun answered, hiding his true cultivation base from these people as he didn't know them yet.

"Big brother Ren, do you think we can trust him?" another voice came from behind Ren Liangchen.

Yi Tianyun looked too young to be reliable. They know that age sometimes didn't determine individual cultivation level, but trust did! A teenager will easily betray them once they are blinded by greed!

Yi Tianyun noticed that every cultivator in this area was mostly in their 30s, there was one or two in their late 20s, but they seemed to be the weakest around here.

"I would like to invite you to join my group as we travel toward the Ghost World. But if you don't want to join us, that would be fine too. Totally your choice." A man from another group said as he stepped forward.

"Liu Long! What are you doing! I was the first one to spot him!" Ren Liangchen said as he frowned that Liu Long beat him to invite Yi Tianyun.

"Well, you take too long, brother! We have things to do!" Liu Long said to Ren Liangchen. "Now come on, little brother. We welcome you to our group!" Liu Long said as he smiled warmly at Yi Tianyun.

"I am just asking Brother Ren for his input, why couldn't I ask him that?" The man asked coldly as he kept staring at Yi Tianyun.

"Leng Hu! You are too rude to our recruit! Calm down a little bit!" Liu Long said coldly to the man that kept questioning Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun was confused. He didn't know that recruiting people was a must here, but it made sense, as this place was dangerous, so the more cultivators they had in their group, the safer the trip would be.

"I am sorry, brother, but I have to turn you down for now." Yi Tianyun said to Liu Long.

"Well, I wish you all the best!" Liu Long said as he lost interest and walked away from Yi Tianyun.

"Welcome brother, what should I call you, brother?" Ren Liangchen asked as he smiled excitedly at Yi Tianyun.

"My name is Yi Yun." Yi Tianyun said, shortening his name to hide his identity.

"Okay, welcome to my group Brother Yi, we were still building a boat, but we will be done and ready to set off soon!" Ren Liangchen said excitedly as he led Yi Tianyun towards his team.𝑙𝑖𝘣𝓇𝑒𝒶𝘥.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Yi Tianyun glanced at Liu Long and Leng Hu again. He felt something was off from them both! Maybe it was the fake smile that Liu Long kept showing, but Yi Tianyun couldn't trust them!

Chapter 460

Yi Tianyun's appearance didn't particularly strike most people's interest in that place. They just looked at Yi Tianyun briefly and returned to their own activities. The only group that invited Yi Tianyun was Ren Liancheng and Liu Long's.

"So, what do I need to do to help?" Yi Tianyun said casually. He didn't like to stand around doing anything while others were working.

"Just stay here; you will eventually have something to do. Take a rest for a while, the place we're heading to is very troubling, so if you aren't prepared, that place could be your grave." Ren Liangchen said in a stern voice.

Yi Tianyun then looked over to Leng Hu, who was still gathering some wood for the boat. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"That guy is not so talkative, I see." Yi Tianyun said to Ren Liangchen.

"Leng Hu knows that this place is dangerous, and he had to do what he needed to survive. He was the one who usually voiced his opinion if he saw an untrustworthy companion, sometimes it led to resentment but, he actually meant well for the safety of the party!" Ren Liangchen said as he smiled.

"That's true. I don't like backstabbers! So, I hope you aren't one and that you would be actually useful later!" Leng Hu said as he walked over to Yi Tianyun.

"Now, take this Detoxification Pill. This Netherworld River is highly toxic. This pill should help you counter the toxic water!" Leng Hu said as he threw one Detoxification Pill toward Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun took the pill and stared at Leng Hu disbelievingly. He never expected someone with a sharp tongue like Leng Hu would care about someone else. "Thank you very much, Brother Leng. I will use it efficiently." Yi Tianyun said as he showed his gratitude.

"You are lucky that you didn't accept Liu Long's invitation earlier, Brother Yi. He was known to sacrifice his party members if the situation went south. The party that he was with earlier were people who were tempted by his words and new to this place!" Ren Liangchen said as he sounded cold as he remembered what Liu Long had done.

"Thank you for inviting me to your party too, Brother Ren. But I still have some questions that I need to ask!" Yi Tianyun said to Ren Liangchen solemnly.

"And what is it?" Ren Liangchen said curiously.

"Is this Ghost World a restrictive place? Did it have its own faction inside? If it does, what grade is the faction inside?" Yi Tianyun asked solemnly.

"Oh, I thought you had something more serious to ask about. I don't really know about the faction that governed the Ghost World, but I know that there is one in there. People who come to this Netherworld Passage were usually trying to find a rare medicinal pill and treasures, but there are some who went to Ghost World to hide from whatever problem that they had caused on the world outside." Ren Liangchen said as he explained what he knew to Yi Tianyun.

"Big Brother Ren is right, for example, the three of us were rogue cultivators who didn't like to be tied with any faction as we know that there is so much darkness in each faction. We were here to see what luck could bring us. We hoped to find some sort of treasure so that we could live like nobles, but yeah, there are also criminals who want to hide from the real world. I believe some of the previous cultivators from the Netherworld Empire ran into the Ghost World to save themselves!" Yang Zhiwen said as he walked towards Ren Liangchen and Yi Tianyun.

Yang Zhiwen was the last member of their party!

Yi Tianyun nodded as he understood what Ren Liangchen and Yang Zhiwen said. This was also why the cultivators in this place would rather stick with the people they knew to form a party of their own. There was so much that could go wrong if you trusted the wrong person.

"Brother Yi, aren't you also a rogue cultivator?" Yang Zhiwen asked curiously. Ren Liangchen and Ling Hu also looked over to Yi Tianyun as they were curious about Yi Tianyun's answer.

"I am not a rogue cultivator. I still have a faction outside. I am here to gather information about this place." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled towards the three of them.

They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and immediately talked about some other topic. They knew that the last question was a little bit private, so they didn't bother to go any further.

Finally, after quite a while, Ren Liangchen's party completed several boats. While they would only use one, they still had to build a spare one if something bad happened to the one they were using. They store the spare boats with other utensils that they used to create the boats on their Storage Ring.

"Brother Yi, we are good to go! Are you ready?" Ren Liangchen said solemnly.

"Yeah, I am ready. Let's go!" Yi Tianyun said as he nodded and walked towards the boat that was already on the water.𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Good, set sail!" Ren Liangchen said as he jumped towards the boat and sailed across the Netherworld River.

Chapter 461

Yi Tianyun, Leng Hu, and Yang Zhiwen started to row the boat while Ren Lianchen guided the boat in the right direction. They tried to take things slow as they didn't know what awaited them ahead, and the worst-case scenario, the boat could hit something and break if they went too fast!

Yi Tianyun himself felt that the dark water of the Netherworld River was different as he weaved the water with the oars. The water was thick, making resistance as he tried to row.

While they were rowing the boat through the Netherworld River, Yi Tianyun also noticed that the other three were vigilant as they kept an eye on their surroundings.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit impressed. These people clearly knew what they were doing! If the Demon Trees earlier were dangerous enough, this place must be more dangerous than that!

"It's eerily silent today! We must speed up and reach the destination quickly. I sensed something is off here! If we arrive at Ghost World, we will be rich!" Liu Long's voice was heard from the side.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the people on his boat became excited and immediately rowed the boat as quickly as they could.

Yi Tianyun just shook his head as he saw the people that followed Liu Long's command was like a sheep being herded to the slaughterhouse, but still, Yi Tianyun hoped that he was wrong.

"It's normal to see him like that, Brother Yi. He has the Ghost World Map, so it's easy for him to persuade people like that!" Ren Liangchen said as he looked over to Liu Long's boat.

"Well, I don't even believe that he has the map on him!" Yang Zhiwen said coldly.

"Sure, there are many people who questioned the map. Many people were curious about how he got his hands on such a thing. But I guess only God knows the truth!" Ren Liangchen said solemnly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head as he realized the situation now, he didn't really care what happened to Liu Long and his party if it didn't cause trouble to himself, but it wouldn't hurt to have information about it.

Yi Tianyun looked at the nearby shore, and he saw that there were two boats that were already harbored on the shore, and he immediately saw several people collecting the Spirit Flowers that grew on the riverbanks.

He knew that not everyone who came there was trying to go to the Ghost World. They knew the danger that the Ghost World had and chose a safer option to gain resources.

But the scene immediately turned dark as Yi Tianyun noticed one cultivator on the riverbanks was attacked by the stone wall. The cultivator tried his best to escape the attack, but he was eventually swallowed by it!

The other cultivators who saw the scene were shocked, and Yi Tianyun could see a horrified expression on their faces.

After a while, the stone wall exploded! It seemed the cultivator who was swallowed earlier still struggled, but the explosion threw him toward the River! 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶

The cultivator tried to fly to save his life, but the spiritual pressure on this place made it impossible to fly! Slowly, the cultivator's face darkened from the toxin inside the River's water.

"Pull me up! Quickly!" The cultivator shouted as he was calling for help.

His companions quickly rowed their boat to his direction and quickly pulled the cultivator with their oars. The cultivator's companions didn't dare to help him directly as the water would poison everyone who came into contact with it.

Sure enough, as soon as the cultivator was pulled into their boat, Yi Tianyun could see that the cultivator's body was all black from heavy poisoning.

"Antidote! Give me an antidote!" The cultivator painted. His companion immediately administered the Antidote for the River's poison, but it still worked slowly. That meant this guy was done for. He wouldn't be able to continue gathering the resources and must get out safely from this Netherworld Passage!

"He is lucky to have a companion who could effectively help him in need like that. I believe the people with him right now are at least 3rd-grade faction members." Ren Liangchen said he was impressed by their response speed to help the cultivator.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head in understanding. He finally knew that no matter what happened, he absolutely couldn't touch the water! But at the same time, a nervous voice was heard from Liu Long's boat.

"This is too dangerous! Can I still go back now?" one of the cultivators on Liu Long's boat said nervously.

"How can you say that! We've already come this far! Relax, we will reach the Ghost World soon!" Liu Long said a little bit annoyedly. The nervous cultivator immediately shut his mouth and followed Liu Long's direction obediently.

Leng Hu scoffed as he saw Liu Long manipulating the people on his boat like that. He would never agree to Liu Long's way!

"Hey, if you want to get back, it's okay, you know! Life is the most important thing here; there's no shame in retreating when you feel you aren't quite ready yet!" Leng Hu said to Yi Tianyun as he knew that this was Yi Tianyun's first run inside this place.

"Don't worry, Brother Leng, that scene wasn't enough to scare me!" Yi Tianyun said assuringly.

"Fine, but keep in mind to follow our instructions. That way, we have a greater chance of success!" Leng Hu said as he smiled a little bit at Yi Tianyun. Leng Hu saw that Yi Tianyun was already determined, so he showed some respect!

Chapter 462

Yi Tianyun knew that Leng Hu's words were sharp, but he didn't see any ill intent behind it. So, Yi Tianyun took every advice that Leng Hu threw at him seriously.

Even though Yi Tianyun knew that he was probably much stronger than Leng Hu, the advice came from experience, and this was his first time inside the Netherworld Passage.

"Did we have any information about this Ghost World?" Yi Tianyun asked the party as he was curious about how to get to the Ghost World.

"I knew a little bit about how to get there, but it's still dodgy information, the path difficulties could change at any time." Ren Liangchen said solemnly.

Yi Tianyun smiled a little bit after hearing Ren Liangchen had a way to get to the Ghost World, now Yi Tianyun knew that with the said information, the party wouldn't be reckless!

As they sailed further, the water current intensified. There were so many boats that gave up and chose to go back as they couldn't row their boat to advance anymore. In the end, the only ships that stayed were only three, including Yi Tian Yun.

"It will get even harder than this! Are you okay, brother Yi? If not, we could slow down a little!" Leng Hu said as he looked at Yi Tianyun. 𝓁𝘪𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Leng Hu thought that Yi Tianyun was the weakest here as Yi Tianyun's aura was weak. He didn't know that Yi Tianyun naturally let out a little aura from the start, regardless of his cultivation level!

From this party, Ren Liangchen was the strongest beside Yi Tianyun, at 6th Layer Core Transformation Stage. Yi Tianyun was impressed that they were able to cultivate effectively despite not having any faction to back them up.

But Yi Tianyun knew that not every cultivator wanted to join a faction.

"Yeah, we could slow down if you want to. It doesn't matter whether we come there first or last." Yang Zhiwen said, confirming Leng Hu's words.

"No, I am fine. I will continue rowing the boat at the same speed as before. I hope that we get out of this river soon." Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

"It's okay if you can't, you know. Well, I guess we slowed down a little bit. Everyone is tired too." Ren Liangchen said casually. This was the truth. Yang Zhiwen and Leng Hu were tired too. But as soon as they slowed down, Liu Long saw the opportunity to harass Ren Liangchen as they couldn't seem to get along.

"Hey, Liangchen! Why are you slowing down? If you didn't have the strength to push through, you might as well go home and drink your momma's milk again!" Liu Long said tauntingly.

Yang Zhiwen was angered as he heard Liu Long's words, but Ren Liangchen immediately held him from saying anything. "Don't bother. It's useless and a waste of stamina!" Ren Liangchen said to Yang Zhiwen solemnly.

Yi Tianyun looked over to Liu Long's boat and saw that Liu Long looked satisfied. But the looks of everyone else on his boat was different. They looked exhausted! But as they continued forward, Yi Tianyun suddenly felt something on the water.

"Brother Ren, I feel something's wrong ahead of us. We should look out for something unusual!" Yi Tianyun said, warning everyone in his party. Even though he was the newcomer, people on this boat knew that ignoring a warning could lead to death, and so they slowed down a little bit more, letting Liu Long's party go ahead.

Sure enough, after some time, a white shadow came out of the water and rushed towards Liu Long's boat and shook the boat as it slammed the deck of Liu Long's boat. One of Liu Long's party members was thrown to the water from the impact and never floated back up again!

"It's a Nether water Shark!" Ren Liangchen said nervously. He was worried now as a powerful demon beast came into the equation.

Nether water Shark: 1th Layer Core Transformation demon beast. Have a high resistance against the Toxin inside the Netherworld River. Its bite could discharge poison throughout the victim's body and would paralyze them! 3rd Grade pet potential.

Weakness: Extremely hot fire.

Reward on drop: Antidote, Nether water Shark, Water Poison.

The detailed information of the shark immediately appeared as Yi Tianyun looked at it with his Appraisal Eye, he was amazed by the shark's fierce nature. But Yi Tianyun was a little bit disappointed to see that this shark was only a 1st Layer Core Transformation stage, it was too weak for him!

At the same time, another Nether water Shark appeared and rushed towards Yi Tianyun's party's boat! Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised as he noticed that the shark was targeting him out of other people on his boat. But as soon as he was about to deal with the shark, a bright light hit the shark on its side, and instantly killed the shark!

The one that killed the shark was none other than Leng Hu, who sat next to Yi Tianyun. He saw the shark coming, and while he thought that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to defend himself, Leng Hu pulled out a High-Grade Soul Tool and quickly killed the shark before it could reach Yi Tianyun.

"We have to row the boat quickly! We won't be safe until we get away from their territory!" Ren Liangchen said nervously.

Yi Tianyun quickly looked over his Netherworld Passage Chart and saw that he was indeed in a red zone right now.𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝓶

At the same time, Liu Long was panicked more than everyone else. He began to shout and persuade his entire party to row faster while ordering the Core Transformation Expert on his party to fend off the shark!

But Ren Liangchen's party was confused after seeing that Yi Tianyun wasn't helping them row the boat! Yi Tianyun himself was still debating the idea that came into his mind just now. If this shark was too weak to be turned to Exp, why wouldn't he just make them his pet!

Chapter 463

Yi Tianyun's idea never to the rest of them as beast tamer was a rare skill to have.

"Kid! Start rowing! What are you doing? This Nether water Shark would kill us!" Leng Hu said desperately as he was worried about their safety.

Leng Hu's word was quickly proven right as the Nether water Sharks were gathering around their raft.

But even though Leng Hu was yelling his lungs out, telling Yi Tianyun to row, he was still motionless. Yang Zhiwen quickly rowed the raft as fast as he could while Leng Hu and Ren Liangchen were attacking the shark as they got too close to the raft.

"Fortunately, that boy rejected my offer earlier! I don't think that he would be scared shitless like that!" Liu Long said from the front as his party rowed the rafts quicker than Yi Tianyun's party. Liu Long laughed as he saw Ren Liangchen desperately fended off the incoming shark.

"Kid, don't show your fear now! Come on, help Yang Zhiwen row the raft!" Leng Hu shouted for Yi Tianyun to wake up. He wasn't angry since he knew that it must have been scary for a kid like Yi Tianyun to see this kind of situation, so he used a comforting word for Yi Tianyun instead.

"Don't worry, Brother Leng, I am not afraid of these sharks. I am waiting for the shark to get close to me, for I couldn't do anything from this distance." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"What? What are you talking about?" Leng Hu said as he was confused by Yi Tianyun's words.

"Just watch me!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked and pulled out a makeshift raft from his ring and immediately jumped into the raft.

"Look at that stupid brat! Rushing alone to save his comrades! How stupid, he would be dead in a mere second!" Liu Long said as he laughed at Yi Tianyun.

He immediately stabbed one Nether water Shark and threw it towards Yi Tianyun. The blood from the Shark that Liu Long threw toward Yi Tianyun immediately attracted so many other sharks!

"What the hell are you doing, Liu Long!" Ren Liangchen said in anger.

"Well, if he's going to die, either way, he might as well serve as the bait!" Liu Long said as he laughed hysterically.

"Liu Long! I will kill you if I get my hands on you later!" Ren Liangchen said as he was furious by Liu Long's action.

"Kid, you don't need to act like a hero! Come back here. We can deal with these sharks just fine!" Leng Hu said as he persuaded Yi Tianyun to come back to the raft.

"Relax, Brother Leng! Trust me. I know what I am doing." Yi Tianyun said casually. He then proceeded with his plan and pulled out a sword from his ring.

This sword wasn't the powerful Heavenly Dragon Sword that he used before. This was just a standard soul tool so that he didn't accidentally kill the sharks or reveal his identity in front of everyone.

Yi Tianyun swung the sword down to the water, successfully caught one shark, and immediately pulled it out of the water into the raft. Yi Tianyun then slapped the shark. Yi Tianyun obviously didn't deal any damage to the shark as he wanted to capture it, but from Liu Long's perspective, this was quite hilarious.

"What is that? He couldn't even kill one shark! Your companion is great, Ren Liangchen! I am entertained!" Liu Long said as he laughed out loud.

The people on Liu Long's raft were also laughing at Yi Tianyun as they thought that they were lucky since Yi Tianyun didn't join their party.

"Capture!" Yi Tianyun said as he slapped the shark once more. A bright light immediately shrouded the shark, and the system notification immediately appeared.

'DING!'

'Successfully captured the Nether water, Shark!'

'Reward: 300.000 Exp, 300 Monster Taming proficiency.'

Capturing the shark was fairly easy! This was all because Yi Tianyun's cultivation was already high enough for the shark to be of any challenge! "Go down and get me another shark!" Yi Tianyun said to the shark that he captured earlier. The shark made a weird noise and immediately jumped into the water.

Everyone was surprised after seeing that the shark went back into the water without attacking Yi Tianyun, followed by another shark thrown to the raft from the water without any explanation, and Yi Tianyun slapped it once more.

Yi Tianyun kept taming the shark that was thrown out of the water by the shark that he tamed earlier, and he finally tamed numerous sharks in a short time!

After there was no more wild Nether water Shark around, Yi Tianyun returned to the raft with the others who were still stunned by the scene earlier.

"Now, we can leave; there is nothing to worry about anymore." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Ren Liang Chen. 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"You are pretty good! Now let's row the raft!" Leng Hu said as he handed an oar to Yi Tianyun.

"No, we don't need to row!" Yi Tianyun said as he pointed towards the Nether water Shark that appeared in front of the raft peacefully. "Let them pull our raft.

We could reserve our energy for something else later!" Yi Tianyun said casually while smiling at the rest of his party. Ren Liangchen was shocked once again as this was the first time that he encountered a tamed Nether water Shark!

Chapter 464

Yi Tianyun's boat was pulled by the Nether water Shark that he had tamed earlier. The other three members of his party were surprised as this was the first time that this kind of thing ever happened.

"They listen to your orders?" Ren Liangchen asked surprisedly. Yi Tianyun just shrugged his shoulders as he tied a rope that the shark pulled to the boat.

Their boat was now faster than before, and much faster than Liu Long's speed!

"Yeah, row your boat like an actual idiot!" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically to Liu Long as his boat passed Liu Long's.

Yi Tianyun didn't capture all the Sharks, but as the shark realized that they couldn't get to Yi Tianyun, they immediately shifted their target to Liu Long's boat once again.

"Quick! The shark is catching up!" Liu Long said nervously, ignoring Yi Tianyun's taunt for now. while he was ridiculing Yi Tianyun just a moment ago, what was happening now seemed more like a slap to the face!

"I never thought that the brat was a beast tamer! Damn it!" Liu Long said as he got furious. Now, Ren Liangchen got the upper hand, and Liu Long didn't like it one bit!

The same surprise feeling was also found on everyone else's face. They never thought to see a beast tamer in action in this place!

"What's wrong? Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Yi Tianyun said innocently to his party members.

"Little Brother Yi, are you a beast tamer?" Ren Liangchen asked curiously.

"Well, you can put it that way. I mean, I just tamed a beast, right?" Yi Tianyun said, trying to act dumb.

He didn't want to tell them his real identity as he didn't see the need to do that, but Yi Tianyun knew that no beast tamer could tame a beast that fasts!

"So, you spared the Nether water Shark earlier just to capture them?" Leng Hu asked curiously. He knew that the situation back then was very chaotic.

He never saw somebody freeze while their life was in danger, so he thought that Yi Tianyun must have some form of a plan to save himself, but he never thought that Yi Tianyun would tame the shark!

"Yeah, if you hurt them or kill them, we wouldn't have any sharks to pull our boat right now." Yi Tianyun said casually with a slight hint of a smile on his face.

"Brother Yi, don't surprise us like this! you could've told us beforehand that you are a beast tamer!" Yang Zhiwen said as he began finally returned to his senses.

"Well, from my experience, not that many people believed that I am a beast tamer until they saw it for themselves!" Yi Tianyun said honestly.

The three of them looked at each other as they knew that Yi Tianyun's words were true. A beast tamer was a rarity among the rare, so people wouldn't believe that you were that special before seeing the proof for themselves!

But they also knew that Yi Tianyun's way to tame a beast was a little bit peculiar. It was supposed to be hard for a beast tamer to tame a creature like Nether water Shark in their environment while having a buck load of things that the tamer had to consider for their own safety.

"Let's just say that this is my contribution to help us get to Ghost World faster, and as thanks for inviting me to join your party!" Yi Tianyun said confidently with a warm smile on his face.

"Sure, but now we feel guilty thinking that you might be frozen scared from seeing the shark for the first time. I hope that you forgive us for that!" Yang Zhiwen said sincerely.

"I don't really mind. It's normal that you'd arrive at that conclusion considering the situation back then." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"But we are grateful that you are willing to join our little party. Look at Liu Long on the back, we successfully passed him, and now he is in trouble himself!" Yang Zhiwen said as he looked at Liu Long's boat satisfied.

As they kept advancing through the river, they finally reached the shore. Although the Netherworld River was still stretching far ahead, Ren Liangchen decided to ground the boat at this little shore.

"We have to stop here!" Ren Liangchen said as the boat touched the ground.

Yi Tianyun noticed that the shore was covered with a mist that made it hard to see what lay beyond the shore. Yi Tianyun tried to sense anything with his spiritual energy, but he still couldn't see anything!

It seemed the mist also blocked a sensing ability. Yi Tianyun realized that the closer they got to the Ghost World, the harder the path became. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"This place should be the Fog of Death. This is the place that makes it harder to advance as it is easy to get lost in it!" Ren Liangchen said worriedly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head in understanding. The Netherworld Passage Chart has the map, but it wasn't marked in detail, so Yi Tianyun knew that the item wouldn't help him here.

It would be dangerous if he walked into a trap or a demon beast that specialized in this type of place!

"If I knew Ming Chen had been in this place, I'm sure that I would be able to get through this place safely, but did he really come through here?" Yi Tianyun said to himself as he began to wonder how to pass this mist.

Chapter 465

Ren Liangchen and the rest of the party stayed on the shore to regain their Spiritual Power. The previous battle with the Nether water Shark has consumed a lot of their Spiritual Power, plus the constant resistance against the black energy that kept trying to seep in.

They've been resisting this black energy as soon as they entered the Netherworld Passage!

Fortunately, there was one person on this Netherworld Passage that wasn't affected by this black energy, and that person is Yi Tianyun! Thanks to the title [Transcendence] that he got earlier, the black energy did absolutely nothing to him!

"Little brother Yi, did you have enough of a medicinal recovery pill for yourself? I have some more if you need it!" Ren Liangchen said as he offered to give Yi Tianyun some more medicinal pills.

He thought that Yi Tianyun must have used a lot of his Spiritual Power to capture the shark earlier and resisted the black energy at the same time. He didn't know that Yi Tianyun spent no Spiritual Energy at all! 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"Thank you very much, brother Ren, but I am good for now. I have prepared many things before entering this place, thankfully." Yi Tianyun said as he politely refused Ren Liangchen's offer. Unless he encountered a powerful enemy around Spirit King Stage, Yi Tianyun didn't think that he would need any medicinal pills.

"Okay, if you have something that you need, just let us know! We might have it." Ren Liangchen said as he immediately returned to focus on regaining his Spiritual Energy back.

"Yeah, we will help each other until we reach our goal!" Yang Zhiwen said as he smiled at Yi Tianyun.

"I have to say thank you for dealing with the shark earlier too!" Leng Hu said indifferently. Although it sounded like Leng Hu didn't mean what he said, Yi Tianyun knew that it was just Leng Hu's character.

"Yeah, that too. If it were not for you, we wouldn't be able to reach this shore, this fast!" Yang Zhiwen said excitedly.

They all were grateful that Yi Tianyun was on their team. If it were not because of Yi Tianyun's help, they might have to return to the entrance.

"You guys can save it until we reach the Ghost World, no? we are still quite far away from it." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled towards the others.

"Of course! In the river, little brother Yi has done so well for our cause. This time, it's our turn to lead the way and ensure that we reach the Ghost World safely! We have prepared ourselves for this thick fog!" Ren Liangchen said confidently.

"Yeah, we specifically prepared ourselves to take this Fog of Death route. If there is no other weird occurrence, we should be able to reach the Ghost World safely in a short amount of time." Yang Zhiwen said excitedly with confidence.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head innocently. He realized that the place in front of them was going to be a lot harder than the river earlier as the Netherworld Passage Chart put this Fog of Death path as a darker red color than the river. He knew that this place would be a nightmare for a normal cultivator like the three of them!

Yi Tianyun didn't have to help them if, by any chance, they encountered some difficulties, but after being with them for a while, Yi Tianyun became interested in helping them get to Ghost World safely.

Ren Liangchen then explained that they must wait for the fog to disperse a little bit more. They had to have their senses back in there, and if the mist was this thick, they would be easily confused and get lost in there.

They waited for quite some time, enough time for Liu Long to catch up. Yi Tianyun noticed that the number of people on Liu Long's boat had diminished significantly.

As he looked over with his Appraisal eye, he noticed that the Core Transformation cultivator was the only cultivator left on Liu Long's boat!

It seemed the Spirit Core cultivators were all dead by the Nether water Shark's attack!

"You are too slow! You better go back drinking your mother's milk if you haven't prepared for the difficulty of this place!" Ren Liangchen said tauntingly as his payback from Liu Long's taunt earlier.

Ren Liangchen was also pulling his swords out as he wanted to avenge Liu Long's rude behavior that nearly killed Ren Liangchen earlier.

However, Liu Long was speechless! He knew that he couldn't fight Ren Liangchen right now as he was exhausted after having to deal with the Nether water Shark!

"Big brother Ren! Please let it go this time. I don't mean anything on the river. It's just a prank!" Liu Long said as he tried to calm Ren Liangchen down.

"Shut your whore mouth! You made us a bait for you to escape! If brother Yi doesn't have the ability to tame the beast, my party might suffer a terrible fate!" Ren Liangchen said furiously.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun looked over to Liu Long coldly. He wasn't pleased with Liu Long's action earlier, even though Yi Tianyun wouldn't be in any danger regardless of what he did, but it was still rude and disrespectful! If he did it to a normal cultivator, it was no different than committing a murder!

Chapter 466

Ren Liangchen's word made Liu Long's face pale. Liu Long thought that by degrading himself and apologized, he could avoid fighting against Ren Liangchen while he was still in a tight situation.

"No! I didn't intentionally throw the shark's dead body toward you! it was just a coincidence!" Liu Long said as he tried to save his life.

"Do you think we are that stupid to fall for your stupid reasoning? Now, I may forgive you if you jump into the river and swim around for a little bit!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Liu Long's face became paler than before as he knew that Yi Tianyun's term was no different than death itself! This river water was poisonous, and swimming in it could lead to death if the antidote didn't work!

"I agree with Brother Yi. We will let you go if you swim in the river for a while!" Ren Liangchen said coldly.

"It seems that you are eager to kill me!" Liu Long said as he looked at Ren Liang Chen coldly. "Now, I would like your help in this matter! If I die here, you would be stranded in the fog later!" Liu Long said to another team close by as he looked at them in hope.

"A map? It's too low of a reward to save your ass! At least throw in a couple of weapons for us three, we are Lie Hu brothers, we wouldn't do something for free!" a man said as he answered Liu Long's plea.

"You are the infamous Lie Hu Brothers?" Ren Liangchen said as he was surprised by the group's identity. Yi Tianyun immediately knew that this new group wasn't an easy opponent for Ren Liangchen and the others. He immediately checked their cultivation with his Appraisal Eye and saw that the three of them had the same Cultivation level, which was the 7th Layer Core Transformation Stage.

"These three men were the scum of the earth! They killed, burned many houses, robbing people, and even rape many girls! They originally intended to hide themselves inside the Netherworld Empire, but now that the empire has fallen, the only place that they could hide now was the Ghost World!" Ren Liangchen said to Yi Tianyun and his party solemnly.

Yi Tian Yun looked at the new group coldly as he realized that these men were all scum!

"Wow, I don't know we are that famous!" Lie Cheng said as he smiled sinisterly.

"Three of the legendary criminals, how can we never have heard of your name as you constantly terrify so many villages and small sects!" Liu Long said as he smirked evilly. "Now, as long as you can help me, I will give you the map and a few Peak Grade Soul tools later!" Liu Long said as he agreed for the Liu He Brothers' term.

"So, what would the two of you give me?" Lie Hu said to two men by Liu Long's side. They were Liu Long's party members.

"We only want to get out of this place!" The two men said as he was confused as to why Lie Hu would ask them something in return.

"Well, that is good! Go swim on the river, and I will let you go alive!" Lie Hu said while smiling sinisterly.

"What! Okay, I will give you a high-grade soul tool, but just let us go!" Liu Long's party member said frightenedly.

"Sure, I will hold your word for it!" Liu He said as he smirked evilly.

The Liu he Brothers immediately released their aura, filling the air with the 7th Layer Core Transformation aura.

"Now, what about you guys? They've already stated their price! Don't you guys also want to bid?" Liu He said to Yi Tianyun casually.

Liu Long's face became paler once again as he heard Liu He's words! Liu Long has struck a deal with them, but they still wanted to make a deal with his enemy too! If Yi Tianyun made a better deal, then that meant Liu Long would die here! 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝙚𝓪𝒅.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Our price? for what?" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

Ren Liangchen looked at the three brothers coldly as he didn't want to compromise with them, even if Ren Liangchen had a weaker cultivation base, he would still fight these men!

"For what? Don't you see that we are much more powerful than your party! Isn't it obvious?" Liu He said annoyedly. He wanted to go to the Ghost World badly, so he had to get his hands on so many resources to ensure their path to go smoothly.

"Well, I could give you something that will make you satisfied for life." Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"And what is that?" Lie Cheng said as he finally got interested.

"I could ensure that you will keep your life for now." Yi Tianyun said indifferently, but he also unveiled his killing intent!

Chapter 467

"Let us live? How dare you disrespect us!" Lie Cheng said as he became furious after hearing what Yi Tianyun said. Lie Feng, who was standing beside Lie Hu and Lie Cheng, immediately pulled out his sword as he wanted to kill Yi Tianyun for what he had said.

"It seems that you believe that you are strong enough to fight us! Don't you know we can kill all of you even if you work together!" Lie Cheng said coldly to Yi Tianyun.

This word was also meant for Liu Long as the Liu He Brothers believed that their party was much stronger than everyone else there.

"Well, I've already made my bid. Now, if you want to live, you have to swim in the river too!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"I didn't get your way of thinking, sure, you are a beast tamer, but what can you do if your beast is underwater?" Lie Cheng said furiously.

"He wouldn't need the Nether water Shark! we are enough to deal with you!" Leng Hu said as he held his big ax.

"You? You are crazy if you think you can stand toe to toe with us! I will kill you even if you beg for mercy later!" Lie Cheng said furiously. 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝒐𝓶

But suddenly, a figure flashed in front of Lie Cheng and immediately slapped his face! Lie Cheng felt horrible pain, and as he slid across the sand, his face swelled!

His teeth were also broken in several places while blood was dripping from his mouth.

Mercy? Now, who would ask for mercy from a piece of shit like you!" Yi Tianyun said as he flashed towards Lie Cheng once again and repeatedly stepped on Lie Cheng's body, crushing his organs!

Everyone was shocked to see a little kid like Yi Tianyun could easily overpower Lie Cheng, whom they thought was among the strongest on the scene.

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Lie Cheng!'

'Reward: 1.200.000 Exp, 4.800 Cps, 1.000 Sps, Lie Hu Step, Wild Impact, Detoxification Pill, Lie Hu Claw, 5x Exp Pill.'

The amount of Sin Point that Yi Tianyun got from killing Lie Cheng was high! That indicated that Lie Cheng was a criminal who has been piling up crime after crime in his life!

"Big Brother!" Lie Feng said as he screamed for Lie Cheng. But now, everyone knew that Yi Tianyun was stronger than Lie Cheng!

"Little Brother Yi's power was far too strong! Lie Hu's eldest didn't even stand a chance!" Ren Liangchen said as he was surprised to see Yi Tianyun easily killed Lie Cheng!

On the other hand, Liu Long trembled as he never expected a boy like Yi Tianyun would be able to kill one of the Lie Hu Brothers!

He began to wonder what Yi Tianyun's cultivation level was. He thought that Yi Tianyun was at least at Core Transformation Peak to be able to kill Lie Cheng easily like that!

They never thought that a boy like Yi Tianyun would be at Void Spirit Stage rank as it was very difficult to achieve! The only reference they had was the Netherworld Empire.

They knew that a Void Spirit Expert in there was only the higher-ups, like the Army General, the Preceptor, and the Emperor himself!

"Now, the rest of you go take a swim, or I will be happy to help you with that myself!" Yi Tianyun said coldly to Liu Long and the other Lie Hu brothers.

Lie Feng from Lie Hu brother trembled as he faced the pressure from Yi Tianyun's aura. He began to think about jumping into the water to save his life!

But he ultimately chose to fight as he wanted to avenge his dead brother!

"I will kill you, bastard! How dare you kill my brother!" Lie Feng rushed toward Yi Tianyun with his sword while releasing all the power that he got!

Surely, his power was amazing for people of his level, but for Yi Tianyun this was just another walk in the park!

Yi Tianyun kicked Lie Feng directly on his chest effortlessly, and the force of his kick sent Lie Feng directly to the Netherworld River!

Lie Feng sank into the bottom of the river without any struggle. It seemed Yi Tianyun's kick was enough to render him unable to move, and so the water became his grave!

"Second brother! I will avenge you too!" Lie Yan, the last of the Lie Hu brothers, screamed and rushed toward Yi Tianyun.

"Wow, I am impressed by your tenacity. Although you saw me finished off your brothers, you still charge straight at me. But no matter! You can see them sooner." Yi Tianyun said indifferently as he kicked Lie Yan as he got close and flung him to the river, sharing the same fate as Lie Feng!

In a matter of seconds, all the Lie Hu Brothers were killed!

Chapter 468

The amazing Lie Hu Brother was destroyed in a mere second. Everyone was shocked to see the power of Yi Tianyun as they thought that Yi Tianyun was just a teenage boy!

Yi Tianyun turned his attention towards Liu Long as he was the next one on his list.

"Now, what would you do? Would you swim on your own, or would you want me to help you swim instead?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

"No! Please just let me go! I will give you the map!" Liu Long said as he begged for Yi Tianyun to let him go. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

He knew that there was no way he could escape or fight Yi Tianyun now as the Lie Hu Brother, who was much stronger than Liu Long's party, was annihilated!

"Didn't you hear what I said? You want me to make you swim, or you swim on your own?" Yi Tianyun said coldly as he had already made up his mind, he already had the Netherworld Passage Chart, so there was no need to have another map that could possibly be the same!

"That word also applies to both of you! Don't think I would make an exception!" Yi Tianyun said as he pointed his finger to the Core Transformation experts on Liu Long's party.

"The both of us? Why would we do it?" The two-core transformation expert said confusedly.

"You are there, aren't you? Laughing like an idiot who doesn't know who you're messing with! now, deal with your punishment, or I will make you swim myself!" Yi Tianyun said coldly to both experts.

Both experts on Liu Long's party looked troubled, but they chose to obey Yi Tianyun's word as they knew that if Yi Tianyun did it himself, they would die immediately!

So, they started to swallow several Detoxification Pills and immediately walked inside the river. As soon as they touched the water, they started to scream as the toxic inside the water began to penetrate their body.

But they knew that they must push on, or they would suffer more on Yi Tianyun's hand!

Liu Long's face became even paler. He knew that the poison inside the water was dangerous for their body, and now he must do it too!

"Please, I will give you more than the map itself! I will tell you a secret about the Ghost World too!" Liu Long said to Yi Tianyun as he pleaded for his life once more. Ren Liangchen looked at Yi Tianyun for confirmation as he began to get swayed by Liu Long's words.

"Swim, or I will throw you in!" Yi Tianyun said determinedly. He didn't care about anything that Liu Long possibly had!

Liu Long bit his lips and let his killing intent leaked out. He immediately walked slowly towards the river, but as soon as he was close enough, he immediately released all the power that he had and rushed toward the Fog of Death instead!

Jumping inside the Netherworld River surely wouldn't be fatal if he still had the detoxification pills, but he refused to do it to save his own ego.

But he knew that the Fog of Death was different, if he could go inside, he wouldn't be killed immediately, and he thought that Yi Tianyun would have a hard time catching up to him too!

But he couldn't even get close to the Fog of Death's entrance as Yi Tianyun had already flashed in front of him and blocked his path to the Fog of Death!

Yi Tianyun knew from the beginning that Liu Long wouldn't go into the water willingly. People like Liu Long were too prideful to choose the option that would embarrass him!

"Going somewhere?" Yi Tianyun said sarcastically.

"I just want to go run before I swim!" Liu Long said as he tried to save his own skin once more.

"Sure, you have run enough, haven't you? Here, let me help you!" Yi Tianyun said as he kicked Liu Long's chest, flinging him inside the river. Liu Long never floated to the top again after that!

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Lie Feng!'

'Reward: 1.100.000 Exp, 4.600 Cps, 900 Sps, Lie Feng Claws, Lie Feng Steps, Detoxification Pill, Healing Pill.'

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Lie Yan!'

'Reward: 1.100.000 Exp, 4.600 Cps, 900 Sps, ...'

At the same time, the rest of the Lie Hu Brothers met their end. They were not killed by Yi Tianyun's kick before, but now they were dead on the bottom of the river from the poison!

The two cultivators that were part of Liu Long's party immediately swam back to the ground, but their bodies were already covered with black spots from the poison.

Both immediately swallowed some more detoxification pills in an attempt to combat the raging poison inside their system.

As soon as they did so, they lied on the ground, panting as they've already used all their strength to do just that! Yi Tianyun didn't show any interest in these two men as he believed that both of them deserved it!

"Little brother Yi, I didn't expect you'd be this strong!" Ren Liangchen said as he looked at Yi Tianyun in awe.

He thought that Yi Tianyun was an average beast tamer before, a rare ability that got stronger as the beast that they tamed got stronger, but as he saw how Yi Tianyun dealt with the Lie Hu brothers and Liu Long, he knew that wasn't the case.

"Of course, I wouldn't want to drag you down for being a weakling after all!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked to his party teasingly.

"I didn't mean it like that! I know that you are stronger than us, but what is your real cultivation base? Are you really on the Core Transformation Stage?" Ren Liangchen asked curiously.

"Yeah, I am at the Core Transformation Stage right now." Yi Tianyun said as he still hid his real identity.

"With that much power, there is no way you would hinder us. In fact, it may be us who have been hindering you!" Ren Liangchen said honestly, although he wasn't willing to admit it.

"Well, we better get going now, the Ghost World awaits!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled towards the rest of his party!

Chapter 469

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Liu Long!'

'Reward: 44.000 Exp, 4.400 Cps, 500 Sps, ...'

Yi Tianyun finally got the reward for killing Liu Long, meaning that Liu Long was finally dead at the bottom of the river.

However, Yi Tianyun didn't feel accomplished at all. The amount of Exp that he got was low, as none of them had a high cultivation base.

So, all he had to do right now was to complete his side quest so that he could earn a huge amount of Exp at one go!

He must go to the Phoenix Nest as soon as possible as there could be Soul Accumulating Grass there too.

After a long wait, the Fog of Death finally dissipated.

"Look, we finally can go inside the Fog of death!" Ren Liangchen said as he pointed towards the dissipating fog. The rest of his party looked over and instantly became excited as they were beginning to get bored.

Plus, the amount of Black Energy in this place was high, too, keeping them busy to regenerate their Spiritual Energy.

Yi Tianyun knew that this would be where it got difficult, as the Netherworld Passage Chart showed that the closer they got into the Ghost World, the harder the path would be!𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Soon enough, the fog dispersed, but the path was still misty, as the fog didn't completely disappear.

"Let's go. We must go before the fog thickens again!" Ren Liangchen said as he pulled out a map from his storage ring to see how they should traverse the Fog of Death.

Yi Tianyun looked at the map, and he noticed that the map was very similar to his own Netherworld Passage Chart. Now that Yi Tianyun knew that, he was confident that they could pass the Fog of Death safely!

Ren Liangchen immediately took the leading position and walked towards the Fog of Death confidently. "Now it is our turn to show that we are credible too, little brother Yi has done so much for us earlier!" Ren Liangchen said as he smiled towards Yi Tianyun. "Relax, little brother Yi, I am confident that we will get out of the Fog of Death safely!" Ren Liangchen said confidently to Yi Tianyun.

"How can you be so sure?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"I got this map from an expert that came from the Ghost World Itself! There is no way that this map was a fake!" Ren Liangchen said confidently.

"An expert from Ghost World? Did anyone really come back from the Ghost World?" Yi Tianyun asked surprisedly as this was new information for him.

"Yes, he was from the Ghost World, but sadly there is no one that came back from the Ghost World that resides on the Netherworld Continent or the Heavenly Border Continent!" Ren Liangchen said solemnly.

"Did you know where he is now, or where did he come from?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"Sadly, no! I have tried asking him where he wanted to go, but he didn't want to say anything to me! It seems he had a bad experience with people knowing where he was from, not that I'm sure, though." Ren Liangchen said as he sighed disappointedly.

"Well, there is nothing you can do about it!" Yi Tianyun said as he nodded his head to Ren Liangchen.

Although he was a little bit disappointed that he couldn't find the person that successfully returned from the Ghost World, at least he got a little information that he needed! 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Yi Tianyun's party quickly moved forward to the Fog of Death, leaving the two cultivators that previously took a dip in the Netherworld River at Yi Tianyun's order.

Under Ren Liangchen's leadership, they traversed the Fog of Death exactly as the map told him to go. This Fog of Death was a stone maze.

If the fog was still as thick as before, they would easily get lost and trapped inside this maze!

"We have to take this path! But be careful, the path is not safe!" Ren Liangchen said as he quickly moved to the left.

As they traversed the path that Ren Liangchen had signaled them to go, a black shadow suddenly appeared and rushed towards Yi Tianyun from behind, but Yi Tianyun was already prepared, with his Long Sword, he immediately cleaved the black shadow in two!

Black blood spurted from the black shadow towards Yi Tianyun's arm. It immediately sizzled but caused no effect to Yi Tianyun as his cultivation was already too high!

"What happened, Little brother Yi? Why are you stopping?" Leng Hu said as he noticed Yi Tianyun standing on the back. But soon, everyone noticed the black bug was cleaved in two in front of Yi Tianyun.

"This is a Nether water Bug! One bite from this creature, and you would be poisoned severely! It's also quite fast, thank god little brother Yi could kill it before it poses a threat!" Ren Liangchen said gratefully to Yi Tianyun.

"Save it for later. We have to get out of here soon!" Yi Tianyun said as he signaled for Ren Liangchen to continue forward.

"But it was a little bit weird! Why did they only attack little brother Yi?" Leng Hu said as he walked near Yi Tianyun.

"It may be because my aura was the faintest that they detected. They may think that I was the easiest target!" Yi Tianyun smiled at Leng Hu as he answered.

Chapter 470

The real reason why Yi Tianyun was constantly being targeted by the Demon Beast was that his Sin Points were too high! He would always draw the Demon Beast's attention as they could sense the hatred from the Sin Point!

The only solution was to spend the Sin Point on the Sin Shop, but for now, he was still accumulating the Sin Point for something that he wanted.

"Don't worry, little brother Yi. You don't have to shoulder all the fighting alone. We can still be of use, you know!" Ren Liangchen said as he patted Yi Tianyun's shoulder.

"We know that you are strong, but we are also already prepared to fight our way toward the Ghost World, you know!" Yang Zhiwen said as he observed the dead Nether water Bug that Yi Tianyun killed earlier.

"Yeah, I am also not happy about this! I am not crippled, you know! I can at least defend myself in the time of need!" Leng Hu said unpleasantly.

Yi Tianyun felt awkward as he was just making excuses at random. He couldn't say that the real reason was his high Sin Point!

"I know that you guys can defend yourself with no problem, but you guys know this place better! So, the least I can do is kill the demon beast that would block our path toward the Ghost World!" Yi Tianyun said honestly.

Finally, everyone accepted Yi Tianyun's words and immediately advanced forward. They know that nothing could be done if the Demon Beast was really targeting Yi Tianyun.

They felt a little bit guilty that they must let Yi Tianyun do all the hard work, but at the same time, they felt a little bit grateful that Yi Tianyun was there with them!

Yi Tianyun could feel that their Favorability was rising! It seemed that their Favorability would reach 200 soon!

Yi Tianyun was a little bit excited as if he could convince these three men to join his Heavenly Clouds Mansion, they would help him meet the requirements of his Main Quest faster!

However, Yi Tianyun didn't want to mention such things for now. He should wait for the right opportunity to recruit these men as he knew that these men had a terrible experience with a faction! But as they continued to traverse the Fog of Death, the fog began to thicken!

"This is bad! The Fog of Death has begun to thicken! We have to stay here for a while, set up camp so that we don't get separated!" Ren Liangchen said as he immediately started to collect the dead branch and stick to make fire.

The fog thickened fast. Soon enough, the road in front of them was covered with fog and could no longer be seen anymore!

"This time is the most dangerous time inside this Fog of Death! We have to make sure that we cover all directions as we don't know where and when the enemy will attack!" Ren Liangchen said commandingly.

The rest of the party nodded their heads as they started to prepare themselves for a fight; their expression was grim as they knew that this situation could be dangerous. They know that the Demon Beast inside this maze tends to attack people from their blind spot, so they cover each other's backs!

"Do you believe me?" Yi Tianyun said out of nowhere.

"Why would you think that we wouldn't believe you? We've already seen your power before!" Ren Liangchen said as he was confused by Yi Tianyun's question.

"Then let me see the map for a bit. I will take you all out of here!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Take us out of this fog of death?" Leng Hu asked confusedly.

"Yeah, as long as you believe in me, we can get out of here safely!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

Ren Liangchen nodded his head to Leng Hu and Yang Zhiwen and immediately gave the map to Yi Tianyun.

"Here you go, we believe everything you said." Ren Liangchen said casually.

"Thank you for trusting me. I will make sure that we get out of this place safely!" Yi Tianyun said confidently. As he said these words, a couple of Nether water bugs appeared and started to walk in front of them. 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

Because of the thick black color of the Nether water Bug, it was easy to see them, even if the fog was really thick!

They immediately knew that those Nether water Bugs were Yi Tianyun's tamed beast!𝙡𝙞𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝒐𝒎

"No wonder little brother Yi is confident that he can get us out of here! He has already tamed several Nether water bugs to be our guide!" Ren Liangchen said as he was surprised once again. He forgot for a moment that Yi Tianyun was a beast tamer!

"Yeah, let's go! Let's get out of this place!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

Chapter 471

Because of the Nether water Bug that Yi Tianyun has captured, they could traverse through the Fog of Death easier. The only thing that they had to worry about was some Demon Beast that kept attacking Yi Tianyun.

But all the Demon Beasts were low leveled compared to Yi Tianyun, so he didn't have a hard time against them.

Originally, Yi Tianyun wanted to rely on his soul guide to lead the way, but he noticed that the Soul Guide wasn't very accurate to traverse the maze area like this Fog of Death!

He also thought of using his Lucky Aura as he knew that with it, he could easily find a shortcut or an easy path for them to reach Ghost World immediately, but he also knew that with the current level of the Lucky Aura, he would consume a lot of Crazy Points!

After a long walk, Yi Tianyun finally led his party out of the Fog of Death! And the first thing that he noticed was a group of cultivators camping nearby.

Yi Tianyun immediately scanned all of them with his Appraisal Eye and noticed that they were quite strong! And there were at least a dozen cultivators in their group!

Those cultivators immediately noticed that the four of them were coming out from the Fog of Death, but they immediately realized that the four of them were in the same group, surprising everyone on the site as it was very rare to see a lot of cultivators on the same party get out of the Fog of Death!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun also noticed that the path to the Ghost World led to a towering mountain, and he couldn't see any other route, this meant that they must climb the mountain to reach the Ghost World!

Yi Tianyun also noticed that the top of the mountain was covered by a thick cloud, making it impossible to see the top of the mountain.

This mountain was the Netherworld Gate! After passing this mountain, they would successfully reach the Ghost World, but as its name suggested, the mountain would have a big challenge later!

"We finally passed the Fog of Death! This is all thanks to Little Brother Yi for guiding us without any trouble!" Ren Liangchen said happily. Leng Hu and Yang Zhiwen just nodded their heads as they felt sheepish, for they didn't do anything to help Yi Tianyun. 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝙧𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝙢

"You don't have to say that now, I only do what I can do!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"Now, all we need to do is to pass this Netherworld Gate! We will be at the Ghost World after that!" Ren Liangchen said confidently. "But the thing is, this mountain is the hardest part! So many cultivators were trapped in here! but we only have this path to go on!" Ren Liangchen said solemnly.

Everyone looked determined as they really wanted to pass this Netherworld Gate to reach the Ghost World!

Yi Tianyun and the others walked past the resting cultivators near the Fog of Death, Yi Tianyun knew that these people were resting there because they were unable to go through the Netherworld Gate!

In fact, Yi Tianyun knew that once one got close to the mountain, the amount of black energy that immediately covered their body was staggering!

But for Yi Tianyun, that wasn't a problem!

The resting cultivator looked at Yi Tianyun's party with ridicule on their eyes. They thought that the new party wouldn't be able to pass the Netherworld Gate and would end up there anyway!

The cultivators that were resting there have already experienced the harsh situation firsthand. They were climbing the mountain until their body was corroded by the Black Energy, and soon had no choice but to retreat to that place!

Nobody could fly in this place. Otherwise, this mountain wouldn't matter at all!

The climb itself wasn't easy! The mountain was steep, and with all the black energy blocking the cultivator from properly using their technique, it became a hard challenge just to climb a 90 degree path!

Many cultivators fell to their death too as they tried to climb a horizontal wall without preparing themselves beforehand.

Some of them kept trying. They rushed back to the safe point to detoxify the Black energy from their body and then tried once again! They would repeat that process until some accident took their lives!

That was how these resting cultivator's lives were as they refused to give up on getting into the Ghost World!

Chapter 472

"They are awesome, there are not many teams that could survive the Fog of Death with three members, let alone four!" one of the resting cultivators said casually.

"Yes, but they have not tasted true despair yet! Let them try to pass that Netherworld Gate! I bet they would end up like us here!" another cultivator said confidently,

"Well, let's just see how far they got for their first time trying to climb the Netherworld Gate!" another said as they resumed their meditation.

...

The cultivators in this part of Netherworld Passage knew that no matter how powerful your weapons and armor are, it would be useless before the Netherworld Gate!

The Black Energy was the only dominant factor there that constantly threw everyone off!

You need to have a huge amount of Detoxification Pill in case you get poisoned by the Black Energy, plus the pressure on the mountain was no joke, making it even harder, if not impossible, to climb!

"Hey, newcomers! Did you have enough Medicinal Pills to get through?" A core transformation expert said to Yi Tianyun's party as they passed through. This man was not that old cultivation-wise, reaching 40 years old with cultivation level Core Transformation peak stage!

"I am sorry, but we couldn't reveal that information!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face as he knew that Ren Liangchen was worried about the man's intention.

"But hey, I can trade you a couple of medicinal pills for some information, did you want it?" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"That's a great idea! I'm in!" the man said as Yi Tianyun pulled out two medicinal pills and threw them at the man.

"Well, all I could say to you is that the mountain would become harder to climb as soon as you get higher. The black energy would become stronger as you climb! Everyone here was already a loser that failed to climb the mountain! We were stuck in here for a while, until we finally gave up!" the man said casually.

The man's information was, in fact, good enough for Yi Tianyun to draw some conclusions about the place. The difficulty must come from the pressure that the black energy created as they got higher!

From the looks of things, these people here have all already reached a certain altitude before they realized they could no longer push forward.

"But make sure that you really have what it takes to traverse this place, or you would end up like them!" The cultivator said as he pointed his finger towards the piles of bones scattering around the ground.

"That's all I can give you, for now, thank you for your medicinal pills, I will use it well!" The man said as he walked towards the big group earlier. 𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Hey, you seem to have quite a lot of medicinal pills! Could you share it with me?" another man walked toward Yi Tianyun.

"It depends! Do you have any information that I need? In fact, if you can give me enough information, I am willing to give you this bottle of medicinal pills!" Yi Tianyun said casually.𝑙𝘪𝑏𝓇ℯ𝑎𝒹.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"No, I don't have any information for you! But I still want those Medicinal Pills!" the man said threateningly.

"I can't do that! if you want a medicinal pill from me, you need to trade it for some useful information!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"Stop being a courageous little shit! You are just one person while I have three more people with me!" the man said as three other men came to his side. They saw that Yi Tianyun was just a frail-looking teenager, so they decided to intimidate him!

"Enough! This boy is in my protection!" the previous cultivator that made a little trade with Yi Tianyun said confidently while showing off his core transformation peak stage aura!

"Lu Feng, did you really think that you can have a go with us!" The cultivator that threatened Yi Tianyun earlier said with a frown on his face.

"This boy is good! I don't know about the other three, but this boy shouldn't be touched!" Lu Feng said commandingly.

"Okay, okay! we will not touch that boy, but the three others are fair game!" The cultivator said as he nodded at Lu Feng.

"Brat! Don't blame yourself for this! If you gave us your Medicinal Pills, it wouldn't end up like this! Now, I wonder if they have any medicinal pills for us!" The cultivator said as he turned his attention towards Ren Liangchen and the others.

But he couldn't do anything else after that as a shadowy figure immediately rushed towards him and punched his solar plexus!

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Cheng Yang!'

'Reward: 1.200.000 Exp, 48.000 Cps, 600 SPs, Devil's Claw martial art, Magic Cloud walk, Recovery Medicinal Pills, Detoxification Pills.

"Now, who wants medicinal pills again?" Yi Tianyun said indifferently as he tapped his knuckles to clean it from non-existence dust!

Chapter 473

Yi Tianyun looked coldly at the rest of the cultivators who were trying to mug him and the rest of the cultivators that meditated earlier. Yi Tianyun realized these cultivators were all sly and will make things difficult for him! While his one-hit-kill power surely surprised everyone, Ren Liangchen and the rest of Yi Tianyun's party weren't surprised! They knew that Yi Tianyun's power was already far above them, so killing the cultivator earlier in one hit wasn't surprising!

"Anyone else want my Medicinal Pills?" Yi Tianyun asked tauntingly.

"Lu Feng! Don't blame me for this! Guys, kill him!" one of the Core Transformation experts who mugged Yi Tianyun earlier said while ordering the rest of his man to attack Yi Tianyun.

Lu Feng became more interested in Yi Tianyun as he saw that Yi Tianyun was no ordinary cultivator, and so he looked at the rest of Yi Tianyun's companion and saw them shaking their heads as they watched Yi Tianyun punch the cultivators who came at him one by one!

'DING!'

'Successfully killed Peng Yun!'

'Reward: 1.100.000 Exp, 4.700 Cps, 800 Sps, Heaven Expelling Palm, Anti-water Cloud, Earthquake stamp, Recovery Medicinal Pills, Detoxification Pills.'

"DING!'

'Successfully . . .'

'DING!'

'Successfully . . .' 𝙡𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝓬𝒐𝓶

The three of them were killed in an instant! They didn't have any chance to raise their weapon at Yi Tianyun at all! That was the result of the difference in power between Yi Tianyun and the rest of the cultivators there. No one there was even beyond the core transformation stage!

"Anyone else?" Yi Tianyun asked the rest of the cultivators who were still meditating on the side. Yi Tianyun wouldn't mind killing everyone else here as he found them unnecessary for his growth!

Some guy from the cultivator group got up and checked on the cultivators that Yi Tianyun punched earlier. He was shocked to see that the three of them were dead! Everyone began to think that the boy in front of them right now may be a Void Spirit cultivator after he shouted that the three of them were dead!

They all resumed their meditation to back down from challenging Yi Tianyun!

"How funny, I hope this would become a reminder that you shouldn't challenge anyone without knowing anything about them!" Yi Tianyun said coldly. He immediately turned his attention toward Lu Feng again. "Many thanks to brother Lu. You've already helped me too much!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"I was thinking of helping you after as you're already kind enough to share some Medicinal Pills for me, but it seems you don't even need my help!" Lu Feng said as he smiled at Yi Tianyun.

"It's okay. My name is Yi Yun!" Yi Tianyun said as he offered his hands for a handshake with Lu Feng.

"Lu Feng!" said Lu Feng, introducing his name.

"Now, Little Brother Yi is obviously someone that shouldn't be crossed around here! I hope you could bear that in mind!" Lu Feng said to the other cultivators with a smile on his face. The cultivators were clearly not happy to hear Lu Feng's words, but they couldn't do anything now, so they decided to continue with their meditation.

"Brother Lu, has anyone successfully climbed the mountain?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"Sure did, two people have climbed the mountain not too long ago! It seems that some skill was needed to pass the mountain, having the same attribute as this place will help too!

Attribute? Did you mean Dark Attribute?" Yi Tianyun said as he tried to confirm his guesses.

"Yeah, well, having a resistance against the Black Energy helped too!" Lu Feng said as he said what he knew. "But, no matter what you have, you still need to be careful! This place is atrocious!" Lu Feng said as a reminder to Yi Tianyun.

"Thank you, brother Lu, for giving me this much information already!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Lu Feng.

"Are you guys ready to climb the mountains?" Yi Tianyun asked as he turned his attention towards Ren Liangchen and the others.

"Sure, we are just waiting for you." Ren Liangchen said confidently.

The rest of the cultivators began to mock Yi Tianyun, and his party as the rest of them found Yi Tianyun's party was naïve! They immediately bet among themselves that Yi Tianyun's party would soon crumble and return here eventually!

Soon, Yi Tianyun's party walked towards the foot of the mountain climbed immediately after covering their body with their aura, but the Black Energy immediately gnawed at their bodies! They just clenches their teeth and held the pain in as they knew that there was no use whining about the current situation.

As for Yi Tianyun, he just walked in without any aura covering his body, but instead, he immediately activated his Heaven Swallowing Divine Secret Art! The black energy around him was immediately drawn towards his body and devoured at an incredible pace! He was climbing the mountain while constantly absorbing Exp!

Chapter 474

For other people, this concentrated Black Energy was a nightmare, but for Yi Tianyun, it was just another means to get a bunch of Exp!

Unfortunately for Yi Tianyun, he must move forward and complete his quest! If it was not because of that, he would rather stay here and absorb as much Black Energy as he could!𝓁𝑖𝘣𝘳ℯ𝘢𝘥.𝒸ℴ𝑚

'Get 7.800 Exp, 8.200 Exp, 9.400 Exp, ...'

As he climbed the mountain, the amount of Exp kept increasing! Meaning that the more intense the Black Energy was, the higher the altitude was! Nevertheless, that was enjoyable for Yi Tianyun as he just walked to the top of the mountain without any challenge whatsoever.

Yi Tianyun walked behind Ren Liangchen as he didn't want to leave them behind. In the beginning, Ren Liangchen and the others rushed up the mountain at a quick pace, but now their pace was considerably slower!

They have climbed around 50 meters of the rock mountain, Yi Tianyun could say that they were almost halfway there, but the summit was still covered by a dark cloud, so there was no telling where the summit would be!

Ren Liangchen and the others were covered in the Black Energy; almost their whole body turned black! But they still chose to hold on and keep climbing! Yi Tianyun frowned as he noticed that the amount of Exp that he got was around 30.000 Exp per second.

This meant that the amount of Black Energy at this altitude was difficult to resist! Yi Tianyun wondered whether Ren Liangchen and the others would give up.

"Hey, look, they are almost at the 50 meter point!" One of the cultivators on the bottom shouted to let others know about Yi Tianyun's team.

"They are lucky! Not that many cultivators can reach that point on their first try!" Another cultivator said indifferently.

"Brothers! We must hurry up! We can't let those guys decide our fate!" Ren Liangchen said to his party.

"Of course, brother! We're nowhere near done yet!" Yang Zhiwen said as he clenched his teeth to climb higher.

Leng Hu, on the other hand, didn't say anything. But the cold expression on his face says it all! With this newfound determination, their speed became slightly faster than before, and soon, they passed the 50 meters point, surprising everyone who was observing their movement on the bottom.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face. The willpower that the party has shown was admirable! Yi Tianyun was more eager to invite them to join his Heavenly Clouds Mansion now!

A cultivation path wasn't easy! For Yi Tianyun, the best thing for a cultivator to have wasn't an Innate Ability, but an attitude to reach a higher level!

The cultivators on the bottom were still talking about Ren Liangchen's party as they were surprised that the newcomers passed the 50 meters point on their first try! Everyone started to look at Ren Liangchen's party in the new light, as they knew that they were not a second-rate party!

But, at the same time, Yang Zhiwen, who had the lowest cultivation base among the others, began to tremble as the Black Energy invaded his body more than he could take! His grip became weak, and he started to fall as he no longer had the strength to hold on.

"Brother Yang!" Ren Liangchen shouted as he noticed Yang Zhiwen had fallen. But fortunately, a rope was immediately thrown toward Yang Zhiwen, and that saved his life.

The person who threw the rope was none other than Yi Tianyun himself! He then pulled Yang Zhiwen up as he wanted to reach Ghost World together!

But at the same time, the amount of Exp that he got from absorbing Black Energy has doubled! Yi Tianyun immediately noticed that this was because of the sudden increase of Black Energy around him after he tied himself with Yang Zhiwen!

"Little brother Yi! Put him down! You will increase your own burden by doing that. The Black Energy will be doubled on you!" Ren Liangchen said hurriedly.

The other cultivator below was also mocking Yi Tianyun for trying to be heroic in this kind of place, but for Yi Tianyun this was perfect! He could earn more Exp while helping Yang Zhiwen reach the Ghost World!

"Please continue! I know what I am doing!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

Ren Liangchen looked at Yi Tianyun weirdly. He knew that no matter what he had to say, Yi Tianyun wouldn't change his mind. So, they nodded to Yi Tianyun and immediately rushed towards the top!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun casually climbed at his own pace to look after the others if they also met the same fate as Yang Zhiwen. If so, he could save them like he saved Yang Zhiwen!𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Chapter 475

Ren Liangchen and Ling Hu were struggling to keep advancing forward, but they knew that they must reach the top no matter what! At the same time, Yang Zhiwen finally woke up, and he immediately saw that he was being carried by Yi Tianyun.

"Little Brother Yi! Let me down. I will drag you down with me if you continue to carry me like this!" Yang Zhiwen said as he was surprised that he was being carried instead of already at the bottom of the mountain.

"It's okay, brother Yang! We couldn't afford to climb the mountain for the second time, so I must carry you like this, don't worry! Black Energy has no effect on me!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

Yang Zhiwen was surprised to hear Yi Tianyun's words. The same could be said to the rest of the cultivators below. They heard Yi Tianyun's words, and they were surprised to hear that a cultivator who could resist the Black Energy actually existed!

They never saw anything like this before. Not even a cultivator with high cultivation could completely resist the Black Energy!

The cultivator on the bottom began to mock Yi Tianyun once more as they thought that Yi Tianyun was just bullshitting around!

Ren Liangchen, Leng Hu, and Yang Zhiwen just frowned as they heard Yi Tianyun being mocked by the cultivators on the bottom, but they knew that Yi Tianyun's words were true! They became much more confident than before and continued to climb the mountain determinedly.

The next moment, it was Leng Hu's turn to fall from the mountain as he was out of strength, and his grip slipped. But once more, Yi Tianyun's rope caught him before he could fall to the bottom. The same as Yang Zhiwen, Yi Tianyun pulled Leng hu up once more and carried him along.

The Exp that he got from absorbing the Black Energy increased once more! It has already reached 100.000 Exp per second without the help of the Crazy Exp Mode! 𝓵𝒊𝓫𝙧𝙚𝒂𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝒎

But at the same time, Yi Tianyun noticed that this was the best that Heavens Swallowing Divine Secret Art could do now as the amount of Exp that he got didn't go any higher.

Yi Tianyun immediately activated his Heavens Devouring Divine Secret Art in an attempt to stack the effect together. Yi Tianyun knew that he couldn't stack the effect of Dark North Divine Art with the Heavenly Swallowing Divine Secret Art!

And it worked, the amount of Exp that he got was the same, but the speed of absorption was at least doubled from before!

Everyone at the bottom was shocked! This was the first time ever they saw a cultivator who could carry two people at the same time towards the top of the Netherworld Gate!

The same could be said for Ren Liangchen, Leng Hu, and Yang Zhiwen. They were surprised that Yi Tianyun was able to carry others with him towards the top!

"Little Brother Yi, I am sorry!" Leng Hu said to Yi Tianyun as he felt bad to have Yi Tianyun do all this.

"Relax, Brother Leng. Just focus on recovering your stamina back, if you've already recovered enough, you can continue to climb back up by yourself again." Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Leng Hu.

Yang Zhiwen and Leng Hu immediately did so and pulled out Recovery Pills so that they could quickly recover. Ren Liangchen looked over to Yi Tianyun and clenched his teeth as he continued to climb up. He hoped that his strength didn't fail him this time. He wanted to reach the summit on his own!

Yi Tianyun slowly caught up to Ren Liangchen as Ren Liangchen slowed down to the point that Yi Tianyun was a little bit concerned, but he knew that it was rude to help people while they were trying hard to reach their goal on their own.

Not long after, Yang Zhiwen has recovered a little bit.𝑙𝒾𝘣𝘳𝑒𝒶𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝓂

"Little Brother Yi, let me climb on my own. I think I have recovered enough for now!" Yang Zhiwen said confidently.

Yi Tianyun nodded and let Yang Zhiwen climb on his own, but as Yang Zhiwen touched the wall, the amount of Black Energy surprised him to the point that he almost fell again! But he persevered and climbed up the mountain on his own again.

Not too long after that, Leng Hu pulled the rope as the signal for Yi Tianyun that he was also ready to climb back up again. He didn't want to talk as he wanted to preserve his energy as much as he could.

But at the same time, Ren Liangchen finally reached his limit and fell off the cliff! But fortunately, just like Leng Hu and Yang Zhiwen before him, Yi Tianyun quickly caught him with a rope and pulled him up once more.

As they continued to go up, the amount of Black Energy that tried to invade their body was increasing, Yang Zhiwen finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to be carried up by Yi Tianyun once more. The same thing happened to Leng Hu not too long after Yang Zhiwen fell.

This time, Yi Tianyun finally carried three people up the Netherworld Gate! Everyone at the bottom was shocked, as this scene never happened before! The amount of Black Energy that tried to invade Yi Tianyun's body must have been insane right now!

Lu Feng was the most shocked of them all as he thought that Yi Tianyun was reckless because he was still too young, but it was clear now that Yi Tianyun did have the strength to back up his own words!

Chapter 476

Yi Tianyun was doing something impossible! He carried three of his companions to the top without any difficulties at all! From Yi Tianyun's perspective, he got a ton of Exp from doing this! He immediately activated the Crazy Exp Mode to amplify the amount of Exp he got!

'Get 3.200.000 Exp, 3.450.000 Exp, 3.600.000 Exp, ...'

The amount of Exp he got after activating his Crazy Mode was insane! This was the right opportunity to level up as there was no better place else to do so for now!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun noticed that the Black Energy was starting to leak but immediately nullified by the Immortal Fire. The nullification immediately increased Yi Tianyun's Netherworld's Fire Mastery!

'Get 500 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, 600 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, ...' 𝙡𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝙖𝙙.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Yi Tianyun was surprised because, on top of getting a ton of Exp, he got to upgrade his Netherworld's Fire too! It didn't take long before Yi Tianyun's Netherworld's Fire leveled up! Yi Tianyun was surprised as it was too convenient.

But now, Yi Tianyun had to focus on reaching the top as he knew that the rest of his party was already weakened. Yi Tianyun knew that the other wouldn't be able to hold out the Black Energy for too long!

Everyone on the bottom began to think that the other three members of Yi Tianyun's party were a burden that made things more difficult for Yi Tianyun!

But Yi Tianyun never thought like that. Instead, he was determined to help the other three reach the Ghost World since he needed all of them later to join his Heavenly Clouds Mansion!

But the cultivators on the bottom didn't have it! They didn't like Yi Tianyun's attitude, and so they began to scheme a way to make Yi Tianyun fall!

"They will reach the Black Cloud soon, they won't be able to see very clearly in there, I suppose that is the perfect time to strike them!" a cultivator said confidently.

"Yeah, they will rush through the Black Cloud without knowing what would happen!" another cultivator said while snickering among themselves.

"Lu Feng! I advise you not to interfere with my plan!" the cultivator said to Lu Feng coldly, as Lu Feng had already helped Yi Tianyun earlier.

But of course, Yi Tianyun had already heard about all of this! He smirked to himself, and as soon as he entered the Black Cloud, he immediately used his Clone technique!

Three clones immediately appeared and started following Yi Tianyun from behind. He knew that the cultivator would shoot him down and then later told him that it was because of the Black Cloud!

Unfortunately for them, none of their attacks hit Yi Tianyun! It either struck one of the clones or missed entirely, but as soon as the clones were attacked, the clones immediately jumped and rushed towards the one that attacked Yi Tianyun!

The cultivator from below was shocked once again as they saw three identical clones of Yi Tianyun! They were scared as they didn't know how to win against this ultimate technique; it was simply too powerful!

There was no doubt on everyone's mind that Yi Tianyun was a Void Spirit Expert!

There was nothing else that Yi Tianyun had to worry about, and he immediately rushed up without observing the situation.

The Black Clouds was starting to erode his Spiritual Energy, but the effect of the [Transcendence] Title was too strong! The Black Clouds were easily blocked as it was a kind of poison!

From the perspective of the cultivator on the bottom, it was like the Black Clouds were avoiding Yi Tianyun! They were shocked once again! This scene has never happened before! They began to think that maybe the Black Clouds was sentient, and it was afraid of Yi Tianyun!

The cultivator on the bottom of the mountains began to think that Yi Tianyun's power was too overpowered for this place, that having Yi Tianyun inside your party meant a free ticket to go to Ghost World!

As for Ren Liangchen, he was impressed that Yi Tianyun could block the Black Energy's effect, like what he had told everyone before while dragging three useless men with him on top of it, increasing the burden that he must bear!

However, everyone on the bottom couldn't believe their eyes, and there was only one thing that they could think of.

'Why they aren't one of Yi Tianyun's companions!'

Chapter 477

Yi Tianyun continued to climb up, beyond what any cultivator on the bottom could see! Lu Feng, at the bottom, looked at Yi Tianyun's disappearing figure with excitement.

"It seems that we are a frog in a well this whole time! There are too many things in this world that don't make any sense! I still have a lot to learn!" Lu Feng said while laughing excitedly.

He then began to climb the Netherworld Gate with a newfound determination. He wants to catch up with Yi Tianyun as it was too exciting!

Meanwhile, Yi Tianyun's vision was blocked by thick Black Clouds, making it hard to advance further! This place was too difficult!

No wonder most cultivators would rather avoid this place, and even most who decided to come here were stuck at the bottom of the Netherworld Gate!

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully breakthrough to 5th Layer Void Spirit Stage!'

The absorption has borne fruits! He successfully broke through to the 5th Layer Void Spirit Stage in a relatively short amount of time!

This notification made him really fond of this place. He really wanted to stay so he could level up quickly and hope to be able to break through to the Spirit King stage!

Yi Tianyun sure was satisfied with this place. He hadn't found any place that could enhance his Exp gain this much before!

Ren Liangchen, who finally recovered a little bit, saw Yi Tianyun was climbing all alone and that the rest of the party were being carried by him alone!

"Little Brother Yi, let me down! I think I can climb up from here on out!" Ren Liangchen said confidently! But the truth is, he hasn't recovered that much yet, and he didn't know whether he could hold out the Black Energy long enough to reach the summit or not.

"No! just stay there and focus on expelling the Black Energy from your body! If you all died when I reach our goal, my effort so far would be wasted!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

He didn't say that to discourage Ren Liangchen or something, but that was the truth! Yi Tianyun knew that the amount of Black Energy that Ren Liangchen had to endure as soon as he tried to climb on his own would be too much!

The rest of the party were forced to remain silent as they knew that Yi Tianyun's words were true! They wouldn't be able to hold out the Black Energy in their current state! 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

So, they quietly meditated to recover their stamina and Spiritual Energy so that they wouldn't burden Yi Tianyun later!

Yi Tianyun climbed up the mountain at a constant pace, and soon enough, he reached the end of the Black Clouds! After that, he finally could see the summit!

He had already climbed about 150 meters before he could finally reach the top!

"We have arrived!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly. He immediately let Ren Liangchen and the other down as he knew that they had to recover quickly. He could see that there was a huge teleportation array on the summit. He guessed that was the only way to reach the Ghost World!

"Just stay here for a while and recover your strength back! I will check out things on the bottom a little bit!" Yi Tianyun said to the rest of his party as he walked towards the edge of the mountain.

Ren Liangchen and the others were a little bit surprised by Yi Tianyun's words. Usually, no one would want to go back down after reaching the summit, but apparently, Yi Tianyun was an exception!

Since they still had to recover their energy back, they nodded and let Yi Tianyun do what he wanted to do.

Yi Tianyun immediately went down, but he wasn't aiming to go to the bottom! He stopped at the Black Clouds and immediately absorbed it with his Heavens Devouring Divine Secret Art!

Yi Tianyun knew that he must unequip the [Transcendence] Title first so that the Black Clouds could surround him like it was supposed to do!

Sure enough, the Black Clouds immediately gathered towards Yi Tianyun, trying to invade his body! But the Netherworld's Fire inside Yi Tianyun's body began to react and swallow the Black Clouds quickly!

Instead of getting Exp as his reward, Yi Tianyun got the Netherworld's fire Mastery in bulk!

'Gets 2.200 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, 3.100 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, ...'

After absorbing the Black Clouds for Netherworld's Fire Mastery for a while, finally, Yi Tianyun heard the notification sound that he wanted to hear for quite some time!

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully upgrading the Netherworld's Fire to High-Grade Earth Level Fire!'

'Next Level up requires 10.000.000 Mastery Points!'

Netherworld 's Fire finally leveled up! The amount of Black Clouds that gathered around Yi Tianyun kept increasing as the Netherworld's Fire absorbed the clouds at a much faster pace than before!

'Gets 11.200 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, 12.300 Netherworld's Fire Mastery Point, ...'

The Black Cloud that was originally very thick became thinner by each second Yi Tianyun absorbed it! Other cultivators couldn't stand this Black Clouds as it had the same property with the Black Energy from the wall, but for Yi Tianyun, this was all a wasted Mastery Point!

After all, Yi Tianyun strived to strengthen himself for the fight that would come against a Divine Nation army! Even if he could cultivate up to the Spirit King Stage, it may not be enough!

However, people on the bottom were surprised that the Black Clouds were becoming thinner by the second. They looked at it, expecting that it would disappear, as that was the hardest part on the Netherworld's Gate to pass!

But no one knew that it was all Yi Tianyun doing!

Chapter 478

As the Black Clouds became as thin as air, the cultivators below could finally see that there was a figure on the Black Clouds supposed to be! They were shocked immensely as they saw that the figure was the one who absorbed the Black Cloud, and that figure was none other than Yi Tianyun!

They all looked dumbfounded as they were bravely challenging Yi Tianyun earlier! But now they saw that Yi Tianyun was more powerful than they thought, for Yi Tianyun could even absorb the Black Cloud easily. That has become a bane for them all this time!

Yi Tianyun ignored everyone's curious glare and kept absorbing the Black Cloud-like he did a moment ago. He didn't care about any of these cultivators, so there was no need to acknowledge their existence either!

Lu Feng, who has climbed the mountain quite high, was the one that was shocked the most! But he didn't slow down to admire Yi Tianyun.

He picked his pace to catch up with Yi Tianyun. After all, his path has become so much easier after Yi Tianyun has absorbed the Black Cloud!

At the same time, the cultivator on the bottom immediately encouraged all of them to follow Lu Feng and reached the Ghost World!

They then immediately started climbing up the mountain; this was probably the first time that the Netherworld Gate had this many challenges at the same time!𝘭𝑖𝒷𝓇𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐𝘰𝘮

After all, they didn't know whether the Black Clouds would regenerate again after this!

At the same time, Yi Tianyun frowned after he sensed that the amount of Black Clouds on the mountain itself had depleted.

In fact, he noticed that the surrounding Black Energy on the mountain was depleted! But fortunately, his Netherworld's Fire Mastery has increased by hundreds of thousands! 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"What is this? Is the Black Energy inside the Netherworld Gate related to these Black Clouds? Why is the Black Energy depleting?" Yi Tianyun said to himself rather annoyedly.

Meanwhile, the cultivators who rushed upward after seeing the Black Clouds disappear were ecstatic!

They no longer felt the Black Energy that was supposed to be enveloping the mountain anymore. They didn't feel any Black Energy trying to their body!

All of them were surprised by this strange occurrence, but they didn't mind! Besides the constant pressure from the dangerous area itself, there was nothing else that would hinder their path toward the Ghost World!

Yi Tianyun sighed as he thought that he could gain several levels here, but it turned out he only gained one and a half! Yi Tianyun felt sudden helplessness as there was nothing else he could do there now!

So, he returned to the top where Ren Liangchen and the others were supposed to meditate to recover their lost Spiritual Energy without even glancing at the rest of the cultivators who were trying hard to climb the mountain.

Yi Tianyun knew that Ren Liangchen and the others were supposed to be done meditating at this time. But as he arrived at the top again, Ren Liangchen was surprised and immediately asked him a question, "Little Brother Yi! What is happening down there? Did you absorb the Black Energy just now?" Ren Liangchen asked curiously.

Apparently, they noticed the amount of Black Energy was disappearing from the place and curiously looked at the bottom and saw Yi Tianyun was absorbing all the Black Clouds earlier.

"Yeah, well, I don't have anything to do except wait for you guys to recuperate, so I thought I might as well do what I can." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Although Yi Tianyun felt somewhat disappointed that the amount of Black Energy on this place diminished too fast, the amount of Exp and Netherworld's Fire Mastery points that he got wasn't a small amount at all!

Not long after that, Lu Feng also arrived at the top, looking pale after trying his best to climb the Netherworld Gate!

"Little Brother Yi! What have you done just now? What Cultivation Technique is that?" Lu Feng asked in between his heavy breathing.

"What did you think? You basically saw it yourself, didn't you?" Yi Tianyun said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, whatever it is, I personally thank you for clearing the Black Clouds! This way, many cultivators would be able to reach the top quickly!" Lu Feng said as he smiled towards Yi Tianyun.

"Well, good for them! But there is no need to thank me, really! I did it out of my own volition!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

But soon, the rest of the cultivators reached the top and started to thank Yi Tianyun with a guilty look all over their faces.

They have been bad mouthing Yi Tianyun all day, and now, they are benefiting from Yi Tianyun's actions. Some of them were even apologizing to Yi Tianyun for their bad behavior earlier.

Yi Tianyun felt awkward as he didn't know what to do.

"You don't need to thank me. I am just doing my own thing here! You may go now or stay here to meditate some more. which is fine, I don't really need this kind of attention." Yi Tianyun said lazily. He didn't care about them either way.

These cultivators immediately walked towards the Teleportation device, and after they expressed their final gratitude to Yi Tianyun, they left towards the Ghost World!

Chapter 479

After the cultivators left towards the Ghost World, Yi Tianyun was left with his party and Lu Feng on the summit. "Little brother Yi! This is my first time here on the Ghost World. Do you have any advice for me?" Lu Feng asked excitedly.

"Well, this is my first time too! I don't know anything inside just yet!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"If that's the case, can I join your party? The more, the merrier, right?" Lu Feng asked as he wanted to join Yi Tianyun's party.𝙡𝙞𝓫𝙧𝒆𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"I don't think that's a good idea right now. I will split up once we reach the Ghost World as I have my own goal there!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

All that he just said was true, he planned to search for the Phoenix Nest inside, and he knew that Ren Liangchen and the others would have their own agenda.

After all, people wouldn't believe him if he said that the Phoenix Nest was inside the Ghost World!

"So, does that mean you are familiar with the Ghost World?" Lu Feng asked confusedly.

"Not really, no! But I know some way to achieve my goal." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Well, if that's the case. I wouldn't pester you anymore. See you later!" Lu Feng said as he stepped inside the teleportation device and went to the Ghost World himself.

After Lu Feng left, Ren Liangchen stood up and immediately talked to Yi Tianyun.

"Little Brother Yi! We are going with you! We will follow you wherever you go! If it's too inconvenient for you, we don't mind waiting for you at a place you designated!" Ren Liangchen said determinedly. Yi Tianyun could also see the same determination from Yang Zhiwen and Leng Hu too!

"Why would you want to go this far? I didn't even expect to team up with anyone before!" Yi Tianyun asked with a smile on his face.

"We were touched by your kindness! You could've just let us fall or let go of us any time, but you drag us to the top instead! We've always been a rogue cultivator this whole time because we couldn't trust any faction before! 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝓇ℯ𝘢𝒹.𝘤ℴ𝘮

But if it's you, we will do anything in our power to follow you! you will be an incredible leader for us!" Ren Liangchen said, followed by the other two nodding simultaneously! They were smiling wholeheartedly as they were serious about following Yi Tianyun!

"If that's the case, I am a faction leader myself! So, do you want to join my faction?" Yi Tianyun asked with a warm smile on his face.

The three of them looked at each other to confirm everyone's decision. They nodded to each other after.

"Absolutely, Little Brother Yi! We will join your faction!" Ren Liangchen said confidently.

"Are you sure? You will not be able to adventure freely later!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile.

"It's okay! As long as you are the one that commanded us to do something, we will do it no matter what! But, can we know the name of your faction, Boss Yi?" Ren Liangchen said determinedly.

"Sure! There are several things that you guys need to know before that! First, my real name is Yi Tianyun, and I am the Mansion Lord of Heavenly Clouds Mansion! Right now, we are preparing to set off and become the new Heavenly Clouds Empire!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

They were surprised once again as there was no way that they didn't know about the name! After all, they resided in the Netherworld Continent!

"You are the Mansion Lord of the great Heavenly Clouds Mansion? That means you are the super expert who crushed the Netherworld Empire alone!" Yang Zhiwen said with a shock on his face.

"Yeah, that's me!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"I can't believe this! All this time, I was in the presence of such a legendary expert! Our choice was correct! Thank you very much for inviting us to your faction, Boss Yi!" Ren Liangchen said excitedly.

They were happy to hear that they were invited to join the Heavenly Clouds Mansion that destroyed the Netherworld Empire that they hated so much in the past!

"Welcome to Heavenly Clouds Mansion!" Yi Tianyun smiled warmly towards the three and pulled out three pieces of Lower Grade Sacred Tool from his storage ring. "Consider this your welcoming gift!" Yi Tianyun said as he gifted the sacred tool to each one of the new recruits.

"Sacred Tool! Did you really? Thank you very much, Boss Yi! We will treasure it for as long as we live!" Ren Liangchen said excitedly.

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully gaining the absolute loyalty of General Ren Liangchen, General Leng Hu, and General Yang Zhiwen!'

'Reward: 300 Command Points, shared cultivations (as long as the general keeps cultivating, the amount of Exp, CPs, and SPs would also be duplicated to the player).'

'DING!'

'Congratulation to Player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully recruiting more than three loyal generals!'

'Reward: 100.000.000 Exp, 1.000.000 Cps, Divine General Command Summoning.'

'Divine General Command Summoning: no matter where you are, you can choose to summon any number of Divine Generals to your side. Limited to three times use!'

The rewards baffled Yi Tianyun as he never expected to obtain this much reward! Especially the Divine General Command Summoning! One day, he would have many Divine Generals and he would make sure to only use this Command Summoning to surprise the enemy and win the battle!

Chapter 480

Yi Tianyun was surprised upon successfully obtaining three generals at the same time like this! He planned to invite them later, but it seemed that they were the ones that asked to join themselves!

"Thank you for trusting me. I will not let you down!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at the three new members of his Mansion. Yi Tianyun didn't have any issues of giving them the Lower Grade Sacred Tools as it wasn't as valuable to him.𝒍𝓲𝙗𝒓𝒆𝓪𝒅.𝙘𝒐𝓶

It was better to give it away to someone that would make use of it rather than selling it for a low price in the Crazy Shop!

"It seems we will be able to conquer many things in the future! Our life wouldn't be boring anymore!" Yang Zhiwen said as he stroked the Sacred Tool that he got from Yi Tianyun.

He was so excited about getting something this valuable!

"Great that you found it pleasing! Now, I have to go to Ghost World!" Yi Tianyun said casually. He immediately walked towards the Teleportation Array.

"Now, I am sorry to say this, but I can't take you to the place that I have to go to!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

"We know, we heard you earlier. We will find a place inside the Ghost World to wait for your return! After all, our goal to reach the Ghost World is just to cultivate efficiently, but now that we are under your leadership, it seems much more promising!" Ren Liangchen said confidently.

"Okay, after I come back, we will return to Heavenly Clouds Mansion!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly. The three nodded their heads in approval and also walked into the Teleportation Array together with Yi Tianyun.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the top of the mountain. Yi Tianyun only left a little speck of Black Energy on the Netherworld Gate, for he didn't know what would happen if he absorbed them all! But he knew that the Black Energy would surely regenerate over time!

... 𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

Yi Tianyun felt a floating sensation as he teleported, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at a green grassland. But as far as he could see, there was nothing but a green grassland! Yi Tianyun also noticed that he was all alone!

That meant the Teleportation Array sent them to a different area; in other words, he must find them somehow later!

He had the option to use the Divine General Command Summoning, but as he knew that he could only use it three times, it would be a waste to use one here!

Yi Tianyun then investigated his surroundings and saw nothing dangerous in his vicinity, but Yi Tianyun couldn't relax now. He knew that this Ghost World was supposed to be more dangerous than the Netherworld Passage that he passed earlier.

The reason that this place was called the Ghost World was that it was cold here, even though the sun shone brightly, and the most important thing was that the Netherworld Attribute was prominent here!

Netherworld Attribute was an extensive genre of the attribute that also covered the Ice Attribute. The Netherworld Attribute could be seen from its cold nature; in fact, almost all attributes that were related to cold could be considered from the Netherworld Attribute!

So, with that said, this place was the best place for people with that attribute to cultivate. Apart from the ghost that constantly roamed the place, it almost looked the same with the Heavenly Border Continent!

But as Yi Tianyun roamed around for a while, he immediately realized that he was going nowhere! He immediately concluded that he indeed needed the three of his new generals here right now!

He immediately used the Divine General Command Summoning to teleport the three general to his side instantly, a command prompt immediately popped up, and he noticed that he could even summon Xu Fei if he wanted to, but it would be too much for Xu Fei to come here right now as he was still at the Spirit Core stage.

So, he only chose the other three names and immediately activated the command.

The area immediately flashed in bright light, and suddenly the three of them appeared in front of Yi Tianyun, but this time, Yi Tianyun frowned as he saw that Ren Liangchen had fallen to the ground with his face blackened by poison.

"Brother Ren! What happened to you!" Yang Zhiwen asked as he immediately helped Ren Liangchen to take a sitting position. He quickly noticed that there were several bite marks around Ren Liangchen's body and so he quickly understood that Ren Liangchen was poisoned by some Demon Beast!

"What is it that poisoned you?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"It was a viper! It bit me after moving so fast beneath the grass!" Ren Liangchen said as his face became pale, and his veins turned black!

"Say no more! You need to rest. I will make an antidote for you!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately pulled out the furnace from his storage ring and started making a detoxification pill.

"Boss, are you an alchemist?" Yang Zhiwen asked with a surprised look on his face.

But Yi Tianyun didn't answer the question as he focused on making the detoxification pills, but now he knew that the Ghost World was truly dangerous for a Core Transformation stage cultivator to roam freely.

Chapter 481

Yi Tianyun made a high-level detoxification pill to cure Ren Liangchen!

"Did you guys also encounter any danger before I teleported you guys here?" Yi Tianyun asked Yang Zhiwen and Leng Hu.

"Well, I didn't encounter anything, I was teleported to a forest, and there is nothing dangerous in there as far as I can tell! but while I was looking around, I was teleported here!" Yang Zhiwen said descriptively.

"I was teleported to the edge of a swamp, it looks dangerous, but I don't see anything that could harm me at that moment, but as I look around to find the way out to look for you, I was sent here!" Leng Hu said casually. "What about you, boss? What does the situation over here look like?" Leng Hu asked casually.

"I also didn't sense any danger around here, but as I moved around, I thought of you guys, if we are teleported to a different place, that means you guys might be in trouble! And so, I quickly teleported all of you here! It was fortunate that I got to Brother Ren quickly. Otherwise, he was sure to die from this poison!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.

Yi Tianyun then administered the pill to Ren Liangchen, who fell unconscious, and as soon as the detoxification pill entered his body, Ren Liangchen's complexion was slightly improved!

They were not in a hurry, so there was no reason for Yi Tianyun to leave them here to fend for themselves. So, the party rested on the grassland while waiting for Ren Liangchen to recover.

After Ren Liangchen was back to normal, he quickly expressed his gratitude toward Yi Tianyun for saving his life once more! He knew that he was fortunate that Yi Tianyun was with him now. Otherwise, he would've already become a snake meal!

"Okay, now that we are set! We have to find a place to settle down for a while. After we find this place, I have to head towards my destination!" Yi Tianyun said casually as he immediately flew towards the direction that the Soul Guide led him to.

Ren Liangchen and the others followed Yi Tianyun by flying too. Fortunately for them, they could fly here. Otherwise, it would be bothersome! 𝘭𝘪𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝘤𝑜𝓂

Yi Tianyun's goal was to find some city on the way towards the Phoenix Nest! And sure enough, Yi Tianyun soon saw a big city that was surrounded by a towering wall!

"Broad Cloud City!" Yi Tianyun said as he read the plaque that was placed on the gate. They quickly descended to the ground and walked toward the gate casually.

The guards didn't even care about the new presence and quietly stood on the side of the gate like nothing happened; they didn't even charge them for entering the city.

Yi Tianyun immediately saw that the city was buzzing with cultivators and peddlers along the road. There was so much stuff that they could have if they had the money for it!𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The cultivators' cultivation level varied from each other, but the lowest was at the Core Condensation Stage, while there were so many cultivators at the Core Transformation Stage!

Yi Tianyun even saw several Void Spirit Expert come and go here, while the highest that Yi Tianyun saw was at 4th Layer Void Spirit Stage!

As soon as Yi Tianyun walked to the market street, the shop owner immediately called them over one by one while offering them the best item in their shop!

They were clearly passionate about their profession. If Yi Tianyun didn't have anything specific in mind, he would probably buy a couple of items from these merchants!

But there was one thing that he needed the most that he couldn't find freely in the mortal world!

"Did you guys have any Soul Accumulating Grass?" Yi Tianyun asked casually.

The merchant disappointedly shook their head as they didn't have the soul accumulating grass that Yi Tianyun needed. But suddenly, a cultivator appeared beside Yi Tianyun and said that he knew someone who would sell Yi Tianyun some Soul Accumulating Grass!

"I know someone who has Soul Accumulating Grass to sell. Do you guys want me to take you there? My name is Mo Shu, by the way!" The cultivator said casually.

"Okay, lead the way!" Yi Tianyun said as he let Mo Shu lead them to the place that he said was selling some Soul Accumulating Grass. Yi Tianyun didn't trust the guy completely, but he was curious since if he could buy the Soul Accumulating Grass in bulk here, his level could increase exponentially!

Furthermore, Yi Tianyun also noticed that there were so many cultivators here that guided another cultivator to the shop that they wanted!

Yi Tianyun also saw that Mo Shu greeted everyone he passed by; clearly, Mo Shu had a good relationship with the people here!

Under Mo Shu's guidance, they came into a shabby looking shop that was still closed! Yi Tianyun frowned as he realized that the shop was still closed in the middle of the day! But this fact didn't seem to deter Mo Shu's resolve at all!

He quickly knocked on the door and said that someone was coming to buy spirit medicine from the shop!

After he knocked, Mo Shu stepped back a little bit, and as the door was opened, Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised to see a 2nd Layer Spirit King cultivator here! Not only that, but he was an old man with a scary look on his face!

Chapter 482

After the shopkeeper looked at the customer, he opened the door enough for one person to enter the shop! His attitude was a bit rude as he was supposed to serve his customer.

"I am sorry, this is just how Shopkeeper Ye is, but I assure you that this place is the best Medicine Shop here in Broad Cloud City! Everything you want should be here, medicinewise!" Mo Shu said apologetically.

"Hey, come on in! I don't have all day!" The shopkeeper shouted from inside. He clearly doesn't sound happy to have a customer right now. Mo Shu immediately entered while Yi Tianyun and the others followed one by one.

Ren Liangchen, however, was confused about why Yi Tianyun needed the Soul Accumulating Grass, he knew that the grass was used to enhance the Spiritual Power, but the effect was not that strong!

After they entered the shop, Ren Liangchen was shocked upon seeing so many high-grade medicinal pills stocked up neatly on the shelf.

Some of the Medicinal Pills were even considered foreign since it was probably nowhere to be found in the Mortal World! But the shopkeeper immediately sat down on his rocking chair and drank a cup of tea, uninterested in serving his customer.

Yi Tianyun took a look once again at Shopkeeper Ye's status and saw that the old man had 180 million Combat power and no weakness!𝓁𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝘢𝒹.𝑐ℴ𝘮

Yi Tianyun wondered why such a strong cultivator was sitting as a merchant here in the Broad Cloud City, while a cultivator at this caliber could easily become a respected figure in the world!

"That tea leaf is a high-grade Heavenly Spirit Leaf! Making tea out of it is such a waste!" Ren Liangchen said whisperingly to Yi Tianyun as he recognized the leaf that the Shopkeeper Ye used to make tea!

Yi Tianyun nodded his head. He understood that for a Spirit King cultivator, that might be normal!

"Shopkeeper Ye! As you ordered, I brought a customer who wants to buy Soul Accumulating Grass!" Mo Shu said as he showed his respect to Shopkeeper Ye!

"Oh, you want to buy Soul Accumulating Grass? Who are you buying it for?" Shopkeeper Ye asked curiously.

"It's for personal use." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Soul Accumulating Grass is used for the Spirit Refinement stage, but you aren't one! so, are you a Divine Rune Master?" Shopkeeper Ye asked curiously.

"Yes, I am a Divine Rune Master! Is there something wrong with it?" Yi Tianyun said confusedly.

Ren Liangchen and the others were surprised to hear that Yi Tianyun was a Divine Rune Master. They only knew that Yi Tianyun was an alchemist as he already showed them his prowess before!

"What grade are you?" Shopkeeper Ye asked curiously, Yi Tianyun knew from the look of this old man's eye that he seemed interested now!

"Don't ask me about my grade! You should just tell me what kind of Divine Rune that you need me to engrave or what level of Array that you need me to break!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"You are quite confident, brat!" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smirk on his face.

"Yes, I am pretty confident with my own skill!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked. 𝒍𝒊𝙗𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Did you still remember when I told you to bring me someone who wants to buy a Soul Accumulating Grass?" Shopkeeper Ye asked Mo Shu.

"Yeah, it was about six months ago, I think." Mo Shu said casually.

"Now, I need you to come with me! I need you to open a box for me! It's been half a year that no one could open it!" Shopkeeper Ye said annoyedly.

"You mean I should bring someone who wants to buy Soul Accumulating Grass just so that you could find a Divine Rune Master?" Mo Shu said as he finally realized Shopkeeper Ye's intention.

"Well, you can say that, but that's not all there's to it!" Shopkeeper Ye said casually as he brought everyone outside and closed his shop lazily. Ren Liangchen was stunned to see that the old man just closed the shop without properly locking it!

But, everyone in this town, except for Ren Liangchen and the rest of Yi Tianyun's party, knew that the old man was Spirit King Expert! No one would dare to steal from the old man!

Shopkeeper Ye then brought them to a buzzing street, where Yi Tianyun saw that there was a long queue over a box that was covered by so many Divine Runes!

It seemed that this queue was a line of people who wanted to test out their Divine Rune Proficiency to open this box!

"I have three Soul Accumulating Grass and Two Sacred Tools for you if you could open that box!" Shopkeeper Ye said to Yi Tianyun expectantly.

He then took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills from his pocket and gave it to Mo Shu. "Here is your reward for doing as I said!" Shopkeeper Ye said casually to Mo Shu.

"So, what's the use of this Soul Accumulating Grass for you? I want to know as it is rare to see someone searching for this grass." Shopkeeper Ye said curiously to Yi Tianyun.

"Well, I want to make it into a Soul Accumulating Pill!" Yi Tianyun said indifferently.

"Okay, that was a tough one! But as long as you open that box, the Soul Accumulating Grass is yours!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and immediately focused his attention on the box!

Chapter 483

Yi Tianyun noticed that the box was engraved by at best a 5th Grade Divine Rune! He never expected a whole city inside the Ghost World would struggle to open this box!

'DING!'

'Successfully accepted the [Help Shopkeeper Ye to open the treasure box!] side quest!'

'Reward: 30.000.000 Exp, 100.000 Cps, 100 Shopkeeper Ye's favorability.'

Yi Tianyun didn't expect to get a side quest for helping this old man, but he was satisfied with it nonetheless!

At the same time, the current Divine Rune Master who was trying to open the box has failed and began cursing at the box. 𝑙𝒾𝒷𝘳𝑒𝑎𝒹.𝑐𝑜𝓂

He was still going at it once again, but obviously, the people behind him were annoyed that the man was still trying while it was obvious that he couldn't do it!

"Hey, let the others have a shot too! Don't hog it by yourself!" A young man said to that man annoyedly.

"Brat! This is a 5th Grade Divine Rune! What can you do when you are not even a 5th Grade Divine Rune Master!" the man said coldly.

"You see, you are clearly not a Divine Rune Grandmaster yourself! It was clear that you couldn't open this box, so why even try! Stop wasting everyone's time!" The young man said coldly.

The man in the front was clearly annoyed by the young man's comment, but he chose to step aside as he saw that everyone was indeed annoyed by his constant pointless attempts!

Yi Tianyun was surprised to see the young man's bravery. He quickly looked at the young man's status and saw that he was at 7th Layer Core Transformation Stage at the age of 21!

"How many people have come today?" Shopkeeper Ye asked the young man.

"Master! You're finally here! I was thinking about closing the box for a moment there! There are too many people today. I don't know how many Divine Rune Masters have failed today!" the young man said hopelessly.

"It may seem tedious, but we have to open this box! I hope that you understand this!" Shopkeeper Ye said to the young man. The young man nodded his head and looked down in shame after thinking of giving up!

"This is Shopkeeper Ye's disciple, Pu Ren! Now, I have done my part, and I still have something else to do, so good luck with the box!" Mo Shu said as he left Yi Tianyun and the rest of the party with Shopkeeper Ye.

But even if Yi Tianyun came with Shopkeeper Ye, he still couldn't just cut the line as it was rude, and so Yi Tianyun queued along with the other Divine Rune Masters!

Yi Tianyun saw Divine Rune Masters fail one after another, and one of them even tried to attack the box!

Even though the man was at Core Transformation Stage Peak, his attack was still bounced off from the box!

The Divine Rune Master admitted their defeat, and none really wanted to see others succeed as they immediately left the vicinity to save their pride! After seeing the man that attacked the box before, none of the Divine Rune Master ever tried to do the same.

They knew that they wouldn't be able to overpower the box. Otherwise, a Spirit King Stage Expert like Shopkeeper Ye wouldn't search for help!

"Let me try!" A Void Spirit Stage Expert came forward while holding a huge hammer in his hand. This hammer was a lower grade sacred tool!

It seems the Void Spirit Expert was thinking of overpowering the box with a huge amount of power! "I am not a Divine Rune Master, but is it okay for me to try to break this box?" The Void Spirit Stage Expert asked Shopkeeper Ye.

"Suit yourself, as long as you can open the box. The sacred tool would be yours!" Shopkeeper Ye said indifferently. Shopkeeper Ye has already known that opening the box with brute force wouldn't work!

The Void Spirit Expert laughed out loud, and his body immediately turned into steel! The expert immediately swung the huge hammer down to the box, and suddenly the box shone bright, and the expert was immediately thrown into the sky, badly injured!

The expert has failed as the Shopkeeper Ye has predicted! The box had a strong shockwave Divine Rune that would activate as soon as someone tried to break it!

Yi Tianyun smirked to himself as he saw the expert's stupidity. If a Spirit King cultivator couldn't open the box, what made him think that a Void Spirit expert could!

Chapter 484

Shopkeeper Ye immediately ordered the next Divine Rune Master to continue as the queue had stopped for a second because the expert before was spectacularly thrown away by the box!

Divine Rune Grandmaster was rare, even though Yi Tianyun could say that he had met with two Divine Rune Grandmasters, it was not entirely true!

The Imperial Preceptor of the Netherworld Empire was acknowledged as a Divine Rune Grandmaster, but actually, he was not a true Divine Rune Grandmaster, although he was close to obtaining that title.

Spirit Race Old Ancestor was a true Divine Rune Grandmaster, but his knowledge only consisted of a basic Divine Rune Grandmaster!

So, properly obtaining a title as a Divine Rune Grandmaster was difficult to achieve! That could be seen here right now, where so many Divine Rune Master gathered, but not a single Divine Rune Grandmaster in sight!

"Where is the box from? Why is it so hard to open?" Yi Tianyun said with a frown as he kept seeing one Divine Rune Master after another failed to open it!

"Are you sure you can open this box, boss? You can have two sacred tools if you succeed!" Yang Zhiwen said excitedly.

"No, I don't think I could say that I can before I try it myself! I need to check it first!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile. Yi Tianyun didn't care about the sacred tools.

His thought was full of what could be inside the box to have such a complicated seal on it! His best guess so far was a Divine Tools, as it was the most priceless item!

Shopkeeper Ye sat on the side while observing the Divine Rune Master that tried to open the box. Meanwhile, Pu Ren was lying on the grass on the side, looking bored!

"Master, we have done this for months, but there is no one capable of unlocking this box! What if no one alive could open this box!" Pu Ren said with a bored expression.

"Patience young one! There must be someone capable of unlocking this box! The world is big! We are nothing but a speck of dust!" Shopkeeper Ye said solemnly.

Divine Rune Masters kept failing one after another, and finally, it was Yi Tianyun's turn! Many people raised their brows after seeing that a young man was next in the line!

They all thought that there was no way Yi Tianyun could open the box while someone much older than him couldn't do it!

When Yi Tianyun was just about to check the box, a shrill voice interrupted his focus.

"Make way! Make way! Grandmaster Tianqing is here!" a man said as he opened up the path for the old man behind him. The old man was followed by numerous disciples. It was clear to Yi Tianyun that this man was some sort of an Elder in Divine Rune proficiency.

The crowd was immediately buzzing with excitement, apparently this Grandmaster Tianqing was well known in the Ghost World! Everyone immediately sighed as they thought that Grandmaster Tianqing would surely open the box!

"Kid! Stand aside, let Grandmaster Tianqing open the box!" the man who tried to make way for Grandmaster Tianqing earlier said as he tried to sweep Yi Tianyun aside.

"Hey, queue up! Don't you guys have any manners?" Yang Zhiwen said annoyedly.

"You know who this great man is? He is Grandmaster Tianqing, a Divine Rune Grandmaster! Stop wasting our time and let the Grandmaster deal with this!

"Hey, just give them something and send them aside!" Grandmaster Tianqing said as he was getting impatient! He wasn't used to waiting like this!

"Right away, Master!" The man earlier said as he immediately took a bottle of medicinal pills from his pouch and gave it to Yi Tianyun.

"Here, take this bottle with you! That's a good medicinal pill, consider yourself compensated!" the man said to Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun frowned as he saw the status of Grandmaster Tianqing and saw that he was only at the 4th Void Spirit stage! Yi Tianyun could've killed him with a slap if he really wanted to!

"You have to queue like everybody else!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he unleashed his Spirit King aura to stop the commotion. The man and Grandmaster Tianqing were startled after sensing Shopkeeper Ye's powerful aura, and so they backed away to queue up like everyone else.

"No, if you really want to do it quickly, I will let you go first!" Yi Tianyun said to Grandmaster Tianqing casually.

Boss! Why would you do that?" Yang Zhiwen said annoyedly. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"Just let them be! I want to see a grandmaster's prowess!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

"At least you know Master Tianqing's fame!" the man said as he immediately led Grandmaster Ye to open the box! Grandmaster Tianqing looked at Yi Tianyun for a moment, but he didn't say anything to him.

Shopkeeper Ye also looked at Yi Tianyun, but, since Yi Tianyun was the one who gave his spot away, Shopkeeper Ye wouldn't interfere!

Grandmaster Tianqing immediately reached out and started to look for the weak point of the Divine Rune that covered the box, but no matter how hard he looked and tried to break the divine rune with his Spiritual Power, it turned out to be a failure!

Yi Tianyun shook his head in disappointment, it turns out Grandmaster Tianqing was also a half-assed Grandmaster! Yi Tianyun smirked as he knew that Grandmaster Tianqing would have lost his pride and status after failing even with all that boasting a moment ago!

Chapter 485

Grandmaster Tianqing failed to open the box even after several tries. He was embarrassed beyond belief! After the grandiose entrance earlier, it turned out he was all talk! 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

He immediately looked around, and surely, there were so many people observing his action, and they began to think poorly of him!

"You couldn't open it? if you can't, please give someone else a chance, stop wasting time!" Shopkeeper Ye said indifferently.

"Who said I couldn't open it! I need more time! I will open it eventually!" Grandmaster Tianqing said frustratedly.

"Okay, take some more time then! The more you fail, the more embarrassing it would be!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he sat back down and sipped his tea.

Grandmaster Tianqing persisted in trying to open the box, but no matter how hard he struggled to open it, he still failed!

"He was so confident and arrogant before, but it turns out, he couldn't even open it! what a pathetic cultivator!" Yang Zhiwen said as he laughed at the disciple's face.

"No, the master will succeed! He just needs some more time!" Grandmaster Tianqing's disciple said frustratedly. He didn't like it when strangers looked down on their master!

"Well, then hurry up! It will get dark soon! We don't have all day!" Yang Zhiwen said to the disciple and then turned his attention to Yi Tianyun again. "Boss, it seems that we have to stay here for the night!" Yang Zhiwen said apologetically.

"It's okay; we are not in a rush!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face. After all, they have successfully reached the Ghost World, and now he even has a quest to complete!

Time passed, and after a few hours, Grandmaster Tianqing said to everyone that the box was not an ordinary 5th Grade Divine Rune Box!

He even said that if someone at his caliber couldn't even open the box, then no Grandmaster would be able to open it!

Shopkeeper Ye shook his head in annoyance as Grandmaster Tianqing was saying an unnecessary thing! "Next!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he waved his hands to order Grandmaster Tianqing to go away!

"This box is not something that you can open with your skill! This is almost at the Creator Rank! You should just go home now!" Grandmaster Tianqing said persuasively.

Yi Tianyun didn't care about what Grandmaster Tianqing had to say, and he immediately walked towards the box and inspected the box for any opening that he could exploit!

He immediately activated the Heavenly Eyes to look at every detail that the Divine Rune on the box had. He immediately noticed that the Divine Rune was integrated to almost no flaw at all!

The Divine Rune was truly only at 5th Grade Divine Rune, but it was interwoven together, creating a chain-like structure on the box that made it almost impossible to break! However, since it was carved for safekeeping, it meant there was definitely a way to open it!

"Huh, what a boy like you is trying to do! Did you honestly think that you could open this box! Stop trying to do the impossible, kid!" Grandmaster Tianqing said while underestimating Yi Tianyun's effort.

"Stop saying unnecessary stuff! You're clearly incapable of opening this box! So, shut up and let others try! If you can't do that, you'd better leave as you are just a nuisance here!" Shopkeeper Ye said annoyedly.

"I don't want them to waste their time opening this box! Let's just say that if anyone here could open this box, I will walk away with my hands!" Grandmaster Tianqing said confidently.

"I said, " Shut up!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he released his Spirit King aura, intimidating everyone in the vicinity. The raw power of Spirit King Stage overwhelmed Grandmaster Tianqing and his followers.

As a result, they couldn't find any word to return to Shopkeeper Ye. Shopkeeper Ye then observed Yi Tianyun as he felt that this boy was different from anyone that he ever met!

Sure enough, instead of trying to break the Divine Rune one by one, Yi Tianyun was starting to engrave another Divine Rune on the box!

Everyone was surprised to see Yi Tianyun do something so unusual like this, and some of them, including Grandmaster Tianqing, mocked him for doing something unnecessary!

But to everyone's surprise, Yi Tianyun was finally done engraving his Divine Rune on the box, and a bright light shone from the box as the Divine Rune that covered the box was cracked open one by one!

'DING!'

'Successfully broke a 5th Grade chain Divine Rune!'

'Reward: 2.000.000 Exp, 2.000 Mastery Points.'

Chapter 486

While everyone was bad mouthing Yi Tianyun, the Divine Rune on the box suddenly broke! Everyone was stunned! Surely, no one expected Yi Tianyun to be able to open the box! The most shocking thing was that Yi Tianyun made it look so easy as he was only tinkering with the box for a short amount of time!

"How can this be? How did you break those Divine Runes!" Grandmaster Tianqing said as he voiced his surprise. But he was surely losing some more credit to his name as it was obvious that everything he said earlier was all bullshit! Furthermore, he had to keep his own words and walk away with his hands now!

"Look at that! Our boss opened the box easily! Now, what would you say again?" Yang Zhiwen said as he laughed at the stunned expression on Grandmaster Tianqing's disciples.

The disciples gritted their teeth as they couldn't say anything back, Yi Tianyun actually opened the box alone! Shopkeeper Ye himself was surprised! He did sense that Yi Tianyun was different, but opening the box was another story!

"You actually broke it?" Shopkeeper Ye said as he excitedly walked towards Yi Tianyun and took the box from Yi Tianyun's hands to observe it himself!

"You can open it anytime, Shopkeeper Ye!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Shopkeeper Ye. The box now was no more than a normal box that could be opened anytime!

Shopkeeper Ye immediately tried to open the box and some flaming aura seeping through its crevice, but Shopkeeper Ye immediately closed it again so that no one could know what the box contained! But sadly, from the little flaming aura, Yi Tianyun could already know what it was with his Appraisal Eye.

'Phoenix Fire: Peak Grade Earth Level Flame, a little bit of this fire could burn anything that it touches and could revive a phoenix!'

"You open it! I knew my eyes didn't play tricks on me when I saw you!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly.

"It seems Shopkeeper Ye has too much expectation of me. This was just a small effort on my part!" Yi Tianyun said politely.

"Well, I thought that you could open the box from the first time that you said that you are a Divine Rune Master yourself! You are the first cultivator that I couldn't see through! Nonetheless, as we agreed upon, these two Sacred Tools are yours to take! As for the Soul accumulating Grass, let's take it from my shop!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly as he gave Yi Tianyun two Sacred Tools.

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Ye!" Yi Tianyun said politely.𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎

But as Shopkeeper Ye, Yi Tianyun, and his party were about to leave the scene, Grandmaster Tianqing appeared in front of Yi Tianyun.

"Wait, young one, how did you open the box?" Grandmaster Tianqing asked curiously.

"What did you need it for? Didn't you see me earlier? If you didn't, then it's your own loss! Now that you are here, fulfill your promise and walk away with your hands!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.

"You brat! You know who I am?" Grandmaster Tianqing said angrily as Yi Tianyun didn't show him any respect.

"Go away!" Shopkeeper Ye said coldly as he was annoyed by Grandmaster Tianqing's presence.

Grandmaster Tianqing was conflicted as he wanted to give Yi Tianyun a lesson about respecting their elders, but he couldn't as Shopkeeper Ye was there backing Yi Tianyun up since he opened the box for him! So, with a furious face, Grandmaster Tianqing walked away from the scene!

Pu Ren was observing Yi Tianyun from head to toe, Yi Tianyun was at the same age with Pu Ren, at least from his appearance, but he knew that cultivator could mask their appearance well if they wanted to, and so he couldn't help but think that Yi Tianyun was another legendary cultivation expert who was hiding his true appearance.

As they arrived at Shopkeeper Ye's store, Yi Tianyun gave the two sacred tools to Ren Liangchen for safekeeping, while saying that they should keep it with them. Ren Liangchen was surprised as Yi Tianyun already gave him a Sacred tool before, and now he even gave two other Sacred Tools for him to hold!

Shopkeeper Ye was also surprised by Yi Tianyun's casual attitude toward the sacred tool that he gave earlier. This meant either Yi Tianyun didn't have any interest in the Sacred Tools, or Yi Tianyun really put his trust in his companion.

"Can I hear your name, friend?" Shopkeeper Ye said curiously to Yi Tianyun.

"Of course! My name is Yi Tianyun!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Great, I will make sure that I remember your name! You helped me a lot this time! And for that, let me give you another reward besides the Soul Accumulating Grass!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he pulled out something else from the inside of his drawer.

Yi Tianyun was excited inside as he knew that a Spirit King like Shopkeeper Ye wouldn't give him a useless item!

Chapter 487

Shopkeeper Ye found himself in a very good mood today. He was so excited that Yi Tianyun had successfully opened the box that he had been trying to open for months!

Although so many Divine Rune Masters have tried to open it, they all failed! That was because they tried to open it with the wrong method!

Shopkeeper Ye quickly wrote something on a piece of paper and gave it to Yi Tianyun.

"Take this! This is the recipe for Divine Accumulating Pill, an advanced version of the Soul Accumulating Pill. The effect would at least double the amount of Soul Accumulating Pill would have. I got it from a Divine Rune Grandmaster early in my life. Of course, he is far stronger compared to the man that said he was a Divine Rune Grandmaster earlier!" Shopkeeper Ye said casually.

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Ye! Yeah, it was very unfortunate that a Divine Rune Grandmaster embarrassed himself like that!" Yi Tianyun said gratefully.

"The Divine Accumulating Pill would help you in your cultivation to become the strongest Divine Rune Grandmaster for this generation for sure! I wish you good luck!" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smile on his face.

Shopkeeper Ye didn't think that Yi Tianyun had reached the high realm of Divine Rune Grandmaster as Yi Tianyun seemed too young. Thus he concluded that opening the box didn't require one to be at least a Divine Rune Grandmaster.

No one there knew that Yi Tianyun had already become a Divine Rune Grandmaster for quite some time now, but Yi Tianyun himself didn't want to correct Shopkeeper Ye as he found it unnecessary to do so!

'DING!'

'Successfully completed Side Quest [Help Shopkeeper Ye to open the treasure chest!]'

'Reward: 30.000.000 Exp, 100.000 Cps, 100 Shopkeeper Ye's Favorability points.'

This side quest was easy to complete. In other words, it was easy Exp and Cps for Yi Tianyun! This type of Side Quest was Yi Tianyun's favorite!

"Thank you very much, Shopkeeper Ye! But can I buy more of this Soul Accumulating Grass from you? I need more than this." Yi Tianyun asked politely.

"It seems that you valued this Soul Accumulating Grass quite highly, but I am afraid I don't have any more than this. This grass was rare, but the market's demand is low, and barely anyone needs it! Even though it's at the same rarity as a 6th Grade Spirit Medicine, the effect is lacking, making it not that worth it! I am sorry about this, but you may come back again later if I get my hands on another batch of Soul Accumulating Grass!" Shopkeeper Ye said apologetically.

"Ok, I understand. Thank you again, Shopkeeper Ye!" Yi Tianyun said disappointedly. He wanted a lot of Soul Accumulating Grass to make sure that he could level up quickly.

Shopkeeper Ye immediately handed over the three Soul Accumulating Grass with some Spirit Medicine to Yi Tianyun. "Now, here you go! With this, you can make Divine Accumulating Grass! All that you need now is to find yourself an Alchemist to refine the pill! If you want, I don't mind helping you with that, but I can't do that now, maybe in a couple more months, I can help you refine it for free!" Shopkeeper Ye said casually.

"It's okay, I understand! We will take our leave!" Yi Tianyun said casually. He didn't really need Shopkeeper Ye to refine him the pills as he could do it himself now that Shopkeeper Ye has already given him the recipe.

"All right, then see you again later!" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smile. "If you need to buy something from the store, feel free to talk with my disciple, he will help you find whatever it is that you need." Shopkeeper Ye said casually.

"All right, see you again next time, Shopkeeper Ye!" Yi Tianyun said as he left the shop.

After Yi Tianyun left, Pu Ren came over to Shopkeeper Ye and looked at the box. "Master, what is inside the box?" Pu Ren asked curiously.

"The content is what we need to get back! After so many years, we finally have a way to go back home! Now, clean up the place! We are going out for a while!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly.

"Get back? I never thought we could get back this soon. I thought it would take some more decades!" Pu Ren said surprisedly.

...

At the same time, Yi Tianyun left Ren Liangchen and the others at the Broad Cloud City inn.

"Now, I will go out by myself! I will come back for you once I am done!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly.

"Okay, we will wait for your return in this city!" Ren Liangchen said, followed by the nods of the other two. After all, they were already inside the Ghost World! They could cultivate this inn better in the Mortal World! 𝘭𝒾𝒷𝓇𝘦𝑎𝑑.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After that, Yi Tianyun quickly left and flew toward where the Soul Guide was guiding him. But he soon found a shallow cave and decided to stay inside for a while to refine the Divine Accumulating Pill. He was curious about how good the effect would be!

He immediately found out that while Soul Accumulating Pills had 100% Success Rate for Four Refinement Rank, the Divine Accumulating Pill only had 80% Success Rate for the same rank!

Chapter 488

Yi Tianyun never expected the Divine Accumulating Pills would be this difficult to refine, but obviously, the difficulty said it all! This was the most effective way to use the Soul Accumulating Grass!

Although the grade might be the same, if the pills were much more complicated to make, its chance of success would drop!

"Forget it. I'll just make the 4th Refinement Level for now!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately refined the Divine Accumulating Pills at the 4th refinement level. After a while, he finally successfully refined one Divine Accumulating Pills!

'DING!'

'Successfully created Divine Accumulating Pill!'

'Reward: 500.000 Exp, 1.000 Mastery Points.'

The pill was oddly enough, easy to refine. Yi Tianyun immediately checked the effect of the pill, as he was wondering whether this new pill had the same effect as the Soul Accumulating Pills!

"Activate Crazy Medicinal Pill Mode!" Yi Tianyun said commandingly, this Crazy Medicinal Pill Mode was one of the Crazy Mode's effects and thus doubled the effect of any medicinal pills that the user took!

Yi Tianyun quickly swallowed the pills to see the effect in person.

'DING!'

'Successfully gained 100.000.000 Exp!'

Yi Tianyun was shocked by the amount of Exp that he got; it was more than triple the amount of exp the Soul Accumulating Pill provided on the same grade!

This was great news for Yi Tianyun as all he needed to do now was to refine many more of this Divine Accumulating Pill!

At the same time, Yan'er suddenly left Yi Tianyun's pet bar out of her own accord and stuffed a random medicinal pill that Yi Tianyun has put on the floor into her mouth.𝓁𝘪𝑏𝓇𝑒𝑎𝑑.𝑐𝘰𝑚

She couldn't sit still knowing that Yi Tianyun was eating something while she was inside the pet bar.

Yi Tianyun was startled, and so he immediately ate another Divine Accumulating Pill to save it from Yan'er's grasp. The random medicinal pills were free for her to take, but the Divine Accumulating Pills were too precious for Yi Tianyun's development!

"Hey, give me some more food! I am hungry!" Yan'er said as she frowned after seeing Yi Tianyun take another pill behind her back!

"If I give you food, would you be a good girl and stop eating everything?" Yi Tianyun asked casually.

"Okay! So, give me another medicinal pill! You keep me inside that room for far too long!" Yan'er said annoyedly.

"Here! Now, take your time!" Yi Tianyun said as he gave a bottle of Medicinal Pills that was better for Yan'er to consume. 𝘭𝒾𝑏𝓇𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝘰𝑚

Yan'er took the bottle and sat while eating the medicinal pills that she got from Yi Tianyun immediately!

Yi Tianyun could finally relax after seeing that Yan'er has calmed down and then refined another batch of Divine Accumulating Pills! In the end, Yi Tianyun successfully refined 6 Divine Accumulating Pills, a total of 600,000,000 Exp!

"Oh, what is that nice smell?" Yan'er said as she smelled the good fragrance wafting off the Divine Accumulating Pills.

"These are not food, be a good girl, and eat those medicinal pills for a while, yeah? I will give you better food next time!" Yi Tianyun said casually to Yan'er.

"Okay, but that's a promise!" Yan'er said as she immediately shifted back her attention to the medicinal pills that Yi Tianyun gave her earlier.

Yi Tianyun quickly consumed the rest of the remaining Divine Accumulating Pills, which quickly turned into a total of 600,000,000 Exp!

'DING!'

'Congratulation to player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully breakthrough to 6th Layer Void Spirit Stage!'

Yi Tianyun finally leveled up! It was such an easy task with these Divine Accumulating Pills on his hands, but unfortunately, he didn't have any Soul Accumulating Grass left to make this pill!

"I need 800 million Exp to level up again! This is going to be tough!" Yi Tianyun said to himself while wondering where he would get the Soul Accumulating Grass next.

But for now, he needs to finish up the side quest to earn more Exp! He almost arrived at the Phoenix Nest that he expected will complete Yan'er's Quest!

"We almost arrived at your home, aren't you excited?" Yi Tianyun said to Yan'er casually.

"Home?" Yan'er wondered as she was confused.

"Yes, you will know once we get there." Yi Tianyun said as he continued tracking the Soul Guide. Not too long after, Yi Tianyun saw a burned forest in front of him, but he noticed that the Soul Guide was leading him directly towards the Flaming Forest.

He was confused at first, but he quickly realized that this place was surely the Phoenix Nest that he was searching for! After all, the forest did not exactly catch fire; it was just the effect and protection of the Giant Flaming Parasol Tree!

Chapter 489

After seeing the Parasol Tree from afar, Yi Tianyun immediately flew in with Yan'er in tow. Once they arrived near the Parasol Tree, Yan'er suddenly felt familiar with the place. She was wondering whether she had been there before.

"This was your home once!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

As Yan'er kept wondering, Yi Tianyun immediately scanned the area with his Heavenly Eyes, as he noticed that the place was covered with Great Array to cover the place up.𝙡𝙞𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Yi Tianyun then saw a small Divine Rune near the Parasol Tree that was used to detect intruders. He didn't find anything that resembled a Divine Rune that would endanger him.

So, without hesitation, Yi Tianyun walked through the veil and entered the Phoenix Nest! There was no need to disable the Great Array as it was not meant to attack the intruder.

It just served as a warning for the people inside if some stranger trespassed.

After entering the veil, Yi Tianyun waited until someone approached him so he wouldn't be considered an enemy later by the phoenix clan!

But as he waited, he noticed that no one was coming for him! Yi Tianyun felt it was odd. So, he put Yan'er back to his Pet Bar and continued to delve inside.

As he walked deeper inside, he immediately felt someone coming, so he immediately hid and blended with the shadow and waited for the people that he sensed coming to walk by to assess the situation.

"Weird, I certainly felt that someone was here, but now I don't feel anything!?" The man said, confusedly to his companion. This man was at the 7th Layer Core Transformation Stage, wearing black clothing from his head to his shoes!

"It might be just your imagination." his companion said while rolling his eyes.

"Is it? I have never been wrong before!" The first man said confusedly.

"Well, it's probably best that we ignore it for now! We come here just as a helping hand, but it seems the elder negotiation with the Phoenix Clan doesn't work so well! The Phoenix Clan still refused our help! Their foolish pride seems to hold them back from receiving help from our Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation!" the second man said annoyedly.

They immediately left the area to go somewhere else while they kept talking about the situation to themselves. They didn't know that Yi Tianyun was eavesdropping the entire time!

Yi Tianyun frowned after he heard everything that the two Core Transformation Experts said. He never thought to find an expert from the Divine Nation this fast, so he had to proceed carefully to refrain from alerting the nearby Divine Nation influence.

Plus, from the name of the Divine Nation, Yi Tianyun thought of Ming Chen immediately. He knew that Ming Chen was an avid user of the Netherworld Technique, and from the name of this Divine Nation, he might have just found his enemy!

Yi Tianyun then walked around while hiding in shadow to see what was happening to the Phoenix Clan, but he saw so many people in black walking around the place.

Yi Tianyun wondered whether the Netherworld Divine Nation was trying to invade this Phoenix Clan or just here to act cordially with the phoenix clan to receive their support or something.

After Yi Tianyun walked closer towards the settlement gate, he noticed that the gate was guarded by a Void Spirit Expert, with so many Core Transformation Experts around him.

Yi Tianyun said that there were as many as 30 people guarding the gate now!

Yi Tianyun realized that the reason that the Phoenix Clan didn't approach him as he entered the veil earlier was because of their own situation here.

They were busy negotiating something with the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation!

Yi Tianyun didn't go through the gate and observed the situation instead. Sure enough, not long after that, a few people were coming out of the gate.

"Elder Luo! I hope that you can reconsider my offer. I believe that there is no one out there who can solve your problem except for us, the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation!" A familiar voice said to a man at the gate.

Yi Tianyun frowned as he tried to remember where he heard the voice. He was sure that the voice was very familiar.

Soon enough, the familiar man came into view, and as Yi Tianyun saw the handsome face of the man, he immediately noticed that the familiar man was none other than Ming Chen! 𝑙𝘪𝒷𝘳𝑒𝘢𝑑.𝒸𝑜𝑚

'Ming Chen: 6th Layer Spirit King Stage.

Equipment: Netherworld Divine Battle Armour, Netherworld's Fire.

Martial Arts: Netherworld Divine Palm, Netherworld Divine Art, Dark Dragon Possession.

Weakness: Extremely Hot Fire.

Combat Power: 320.000.000 points.

Reward on kill: ...'

Yi Tianyun immediately felt cold as he looked at Ming Chen from afar. He never expected to meet this man, this soon!

Yi Tianyun's killing intent slipped out subconsciously, but Ming Chen immediately noticed and fired a beam of concentrated Netherworld's Fire towards the killing intent that he felt!

But Yi Tianyun was quick! He immediately dodged the attack by side stepping to the side and immediately concealed his killing intent once more! Yi Tianyun was surprised by Ming Chen's true power. He never thought that the man would be this sensitive!

Chapter 490

"What did you mean by this attack, Sir Ming!" Elder Luo said as he was angered to see Ming Chen attacked inside the nest area.

"No, it was nothing! For a second, I felt some killing intent directed at me from that direction!" Ming Chen said casually to Elder Luo. "But, in any case, I hope that Elder Luo really considers my offer." Ming Chen smiled and immediately left towards a dragon carriage near the gate.

He then immediately left with all his followers following behind the Dragon Carriage.

Inside the Dragon Carriage, Ming Chen wondered whose killing intent was that earlier, the killing intent disappeared too fast for a person to be dead! Was it someone from the Phoenix Clan? Ming Chen wondered.

But he couldn't tell for sure as he knew that he had made so many enemies before. But just as he thought of the possible enemy, he remembered the young brat that destroyed a piece of his soul on the puppet Netherworld Empire that he controlled before.

The surrounding guards immediately gathered around Elder Luo and asked about the result of the negotiation with the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation.

"There is no deal as of now! Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation asked too much from us! They ask for five phoenix eggs and 20 drops of Phoenix Blood Essence! There is no way I could agree to that! it basically asked for five phoenixes and 20 Divine Treasures!" Elder Luo said frustratedly. It seemed that the Phoenix Clan was no ordinary problem!

But the conversation between Elder Luo and the guards came to a halt as they sensed someone coming, which was none other than Yi Tianyun himself! He decided to show himself as he noticed that Ming Chen had already left!

Besides Elder Luo, who was at the 7th Layer Spirit King Stage, the guards were not an opponent that would stand a chance against Yi Tianyun!

"Who are you? you are very brave to direct your killing intent towards Ming Chen earlier!" Elder Luo said with a frown on his face. But because the stranger in front of him showed hostility to Ming Chen, Elder Luo knew that they weren't enemies with each other.

"Now, it would be great if we could talk about things in a more comfortable place." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Now, why would I do that! What reason did you have to come to our land? Didn't you know that the Phoenix Clan had no place for any human cultivator?" Elder Luo said with a frown still prominent in his face.

"I know that, but I am here because I am entrusted with returning one of your clan members back here!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Return our people? Who is it?" Elder Luo asked curiously.

Yi Tianyun then waved his hands, and Yan'er suddenly appeared! Yan'er was surprised that there were so many people in front of her, so she immediately hid behind Yi Tianyun's legs.

"This girl is one of your own! I am tasked to return her here as her mother's soul dissipated!" Yi Tianyun said sadly.

"This is Luo Huang's child! The resemblance is uncanny!" Elder Luo said with watery red eyes. He then tried to reach Yan'er to hug her, but You dodged the old man and was once again behind Yi Tianyun.

"Who are you? I don't want to get close to anyone except for my father!" Yan'er said while frowning to Elder Luo.

"What? You are not her father!" Elder Luo said confusedly to Yi Tianyun.

"Yeah, well! I have taken her under my care while she did not know anyone, so she thought that I was her father!" Yi Tianyun said as he explained the awkward situation a little bit.

"Is that so? Well, please come inside! We have to talk about this inside while having a cup of tea!" Elder Luo said as he had a change of heart towards Yi Tianyun.

"Little girl, I am not a bad guy! I am your grandfather!" Elder Luo said as he spoke endearingly to Yan'er. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"Hmmm, I don't know that I still have a grandfather," Yan'er said confusedly.

"Well, you are too young to awaken your memory. You will know more as you get older!" Elder Luo said endearingly to Yan'er. Elder Luo was talking about the inherited memories that every phoenix had from their parents.

"Well, I have done my part! I have brought her back to Phoenix's Nest!" Yi Tianyun said to himself, as soon as he said those words, a ray of light shot from his body to the sky! This was the sign that Yi Tianyun had fulfilled his promise to Yan'er's mother!

As soon as the first mission was completed, the next quest popped up! This was another chain side quest!

Chapter 491

The light of vow that shot to the sky surprised everyone on the scene.

"You made an oath?" Elder Luo said surprisedly.

"Yes, I have made an oath with Yan'er's mother to make sure Yan'er arrives here safely!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"Hmm, that's interesting! Do you call her Yan'er? how come?" Elder Luo said curiously.

"Yes, that's the name that I heard from her mother; I don't know if she had another name." Yi Tianyun said sincerely.

"Can you tell me the details when you came across Yan'er?" Elder Luo asked curiously.

Yi Tianyun nodded and told Elder Luo everything that happened when he came across Yan'er until he finally got here. 𝘭𝑖𝘣𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"No wonder I can't find them anywhere! It turns out. They are in the Mortal world!" Elder Luo said angrily.

"How could this happen? Is there some problem with Yan'er's Parents?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously. Yan'er's mother was mortally wounded, Phoenix had great healing power, but Yan'er's mother couldn't heal her wounds! This is the sign of an attack from a powerful cultivator!

"I don't really know, but Huang'er went out to search for Spirit Medicine, but after that, she disappeared and couldn't be found! If by that time I could stop her from going on her own, maybe this kind of situation wouldn't happen!" Elder Luo said sadly.

He obviously blamed himself for what had happened to Yan'er and her mother! But suddenly, he staggered, and the guards who stood next to him immediately caught him before he fell to the ground.

"Elder Luo, are you alright?" the guard asked worriedly.

"I am alright! Just a little bit dizzy." Elder Luo said with a sigh.

"Grandfather, are you okay?" Yan'er asked curiously. Although she still couldn't remember the memory that her mother had implanted on her, she could still feel the familiar bond that she had with the old man!

"I am fine, little girl." Elder Luo said with a warm smile to Yan'er. "Now, Yan'er seems to stick to you for the moment. I will arrange a room for you to stay while you are here. you will become our Noble Guest for as long as you stay here!" Elder Luo said to Yi Tianyun.

"Take them to rest at the Clear Elegant Residence, make sure they are comfortable there!" Elder Luo said to the guards next to him. The guards nodded and waited for Elder Luo to finish talking before bringing Yi Tianyun to the residence that Elder Luo had accommodated for them.

"Now, little girl. I still have some other matters to attend to. I hope you can rest well for tonight! I will come and see you as soon as I am done, okay?" Elder Luo said endearingly to Yan'er. She nodded and ran back to hide behind Yi Tianyun with a smile on her face.

"Please, follow me! I will show you the way!" the guard said politely to Yi Tianyun.

After the guard showed them the guest house that Yi Tianyun would use while he stayed there, they were greeted by so many Phoenix Clan People that looked at them both with amazement in their eyes. This was the first time for them to have a human on their properties.

Yi Tianyun noticed that there weren't that many clan members there. At least there were around 100,000 of them.

Yi Tianyun knew that this was because their cultivation level was a cut above, just like Spirit Race people, a strong clan like this would have a hard time bearing a child!𝓁𝒾𝒷𝘳ℯ𝘢𝑑.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Yi Tianyun also noticed that every house so far had one or more Parasol Tree and that the land itself was rich in Fire Attributed Spiritual Energy! Any Ice or Water attributed Cultivator would have a hard time living in this place!

Yan'er herself showed her curiosity as she could sense that everyone inside this place shared some similarities with her. But Yi Tianyun decided to enter the house for now as he could feel the fatigue seeping in.

"Please use the house freely. Everything inside can be used for your comfort!" The guard said as he waited outside the house.

Yi Tianyun knew that he would not be permitted to look around the Phoenix Nest as the Phoenix Clan was very wary of humans, but then again, Yi Tianyun had brought back Yan'er safely, so they had to show their gratitude to Yi Tianyun.

"I feel like I have lived in this house before!" Yan'er said confusedly.

"Well, take a look around the house, you may be able to remember more." Yi Tianyun said casually.

Yi Tianyun sat on the corner while keeping his eyes peeled at Yan'er. Yi Tianyun knew that this was just a short break.

He knew that he would face off against Ming Chen again in the future as it was clear that the Phoenix Clan had some problems that they needed to solve!

Chapter 492

Yi Tianyun looked for Yan'er as he couldn't hear Yan'er walking around anymore on the second floor. He soon found that Yan'er was fast asleep on a comfortable bed.

So, Yi Tianyun immediately covered her body so that she would be more comfortable and immediately returned downstairs.

"Elder Luo! You are here!" Yi Tianyun said as he faked his surprise. He knew that Elder Luo would come as he could sense his aura. 𝓁𝘪𝘣𝘳ℯ𝒶𝘥.𝘤𝑜𝓂

"Yes, the problem has been dealt with for the time being. It was extremely rude of me to leave you alone for quite some time." Elder Luo said apologetically.

"It's fine! But, is this the house that Yan'er's parents used to live in?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"Yes, this was Huang'er's residence. I asked my men to clean this house regularly as I thought that she would return back safely.

I never expected her to hear that she had already passed away!" Elder Luo said sadly. "If I know who has harmed her, I will make sure to pay them back!" Elder Luo said furiously.

Elder Luo was at 8th Layer Spirit King Stage, so the aura that he unleashed was intense! Yi Tianyun wasn't sure he could win against him at this point if they fought!

"Unfortunately, I don't know anything about the one that attacked Jenner's mother. The timing was too short. She died before we could talk further." Yi Tianyun said with a sigh.

"I will send people to investigate the place where you found them both. I will make sure that there is no stone unturned before I find the culprit!" Elder Luo said determinedly.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and let Elder Luo have his moment. Yi Tianyun knew that he must help the Phoenix Clan with their problem because that was the quest told him to do!

"Well, now all that's left is for me to give a reward for your deed! You clearly have done so much for the little Yan'er and for me! So, is there anything that you want?" Elder Luo asked sincerely.

"I only did this out of my own compassion, but can I have Soul Accumulating Grass if you have any? In fact, I could trade you for it!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

He knew that Soul Accumulating Grass was rather useless for those with high cultivation, so he knew that it wouldn't be worth much for these people!

Yi Tianyun didn't need all the Sacred Treasure and anything else, as he only wanted to level up fast!

"I am afraid we don't have Soul Accumulating Grass currently; we did have it before, but it was already taken to another place, so would you like another treasure? you could choose from some of my collection if you like!" Elder Luo said to Yi Tianyun.

Elder Luo then stood up and led Yi Tianyun towards the place where the Phoenix Clan kept their properties while Yan'er was still sleeping upstairs.𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

Elder Luo gave the guard a look; they nodded in response and left their post. Elder Luo and Yi Tianyun then proceeded to a huge building in the middle of the Phoenix Nest, and Elder Luo brought Yi Tianyun in!

Elder Luo brought him inside. Although the guards were all surprised that Elder Luo brought a human inside the sacred building, Elder Luo didn't care at all!

They arrived at the temple in the middle of the huge building, and Elder Luo kept going!

Inside the Temple, Yi Tianyun saw many Phoenixes flying around. Some of them were small, but some were big!

This was the Phoenix Clan's true form. After all, they were technically a Divine Beast! The same could be said to a Dragon Clan!

Yi Tianyun was surprised beyond belief as he realized where he was right now, this was the Phoenix Temple, the sacred ground of the Phoenix!

As Yi Tianyun entered the place, a huge phoenix flew over and turned back into its human form.

"Elder Luo, who is this human?" an old man said as he was rather annoyed to see a human inside the sacred ground.

"Elder Lei, this is the human that saved my granddaughter! I took him here to reward him!" Elder Luo said casually.

"The daughter of Luo Huang? But why did you have to bring him here? you know that the rule forbids any human from entering this place, don't you?" Elder Lei said confusedly.

He looked at Yi Tianyun with disgust. Clearly, Elder Lei didn't like humans very much!

"What do you mean, Elder lei? He brought my granddaughter from the Mortal world! Clearly, he has earned his right to visit the Phoenix Temple! Yes, there is a rule for this place, but the rule clearly said that we have to show our utmost gratitude to those who have helped us big time!" Elder Luo said as he got annoyed by Elder Lei's dismissive behavior.

"He is a human! They have the tendency to destroy! Don't you learn from the past's mistakes!" Elder Lei said annoyedly.

"Elder Lei, you might have a bad experience with humans, but I assure you not all of us are as bad as you think! I hope that we can understand each other in the future!" Yi Tianyun said to Elder Lei politely.

He knew that Elder Lei might have some of his family killed by humans before, and that was why Yi Tianyun didn't snap when he was treated rudely by Elder Lei.

"Whatever! Just give him some random treasure quickly; just don't give him too much!" Elder lei said as he immediately walked towards the exit.

"I am sorry about Elder Lei's rude behavior." Elder Luo said as he sighed.

"It's okay. I can understand that Elder Lei might have a bad experience against humans." Yi Tianyun said casually. He knew that Phoenix Blood was very valuable, and that was why so many people chased after a Phoenix!

Chapter 493

Elder Luo nodded his head as he agreed with Yi Tianyun's thought. There will always be good and evil in every race! Elder Luo didn't say anything else; he proceeded inside with Yi Tianyun right behind him.

They finally arrived in the front of the Treasure Room, and there was a Spirit King Expert guarding the entrance.

"Elder Luo, is that a human?" The expert asked confusedly as he looked toward Yi Tianyun. Yi Tianyun noticed that this expert was at the 6th Layer Spirit King Stage!

"Elder Feng, this man has brought back my granddaughter from the Mortal World! He also told me about Huang'er fate. I took him here to repay him for his kindness." Elder Luo said as he explained briefly. 𝓵𝙞𝒃𝓻𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"Thank you so much for your kindness, very few humans would do something like this for our race." Elder Feng's attitude toward Yi Tianyun changed as he finally knew about Yi Tianyun's kindness.

It seemed almost all the Phoenix Clan was disgusted by humans, but not all of them blindly hated every human.

"Although you already did your best, according to the rule, you can only take one item. So, I hope you choose an item that suits you the best." Elder Feng said casually as he opened the door to the treasure room.

Elder Luo nodded to Elder Feng and walked inside, accompanying Yi Tianyun to choose his reward. After he entered the room, Yi Tianyun saw that there were so many treasures neatly placed on a shelf that were also classified into several categories like Weapons, Defensive Equipment, Medicinal Pills, and so on.

This was natural for a faction that was on par with a Divine Nation. Yi Tianyun looked at every treasure inside this room and saw so many sacred tools, medicinal pills of 6th Grade and above, and even a Heaven Grade Martial Art!

But Yi Tianyun knew that this was only part of Phoenix Clan's treasure. They must have much better treasure stored somewhere else.

"You can choose one of the treasures here. This is the room where we keep all the items that we specifically allocated for rewards." Elder Luo said as he let Yi Tianyun pick anything from this room collection, he had no intention to let Yi Tianyun leave empty-handed.

He knew from Yan'er's attitude that Yi Tianyun has been treating her well. Otherwise, she wouldn't be that close to Yi Tianyun.

"Elder Luo, did you also resent the human race?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously as he was curious about Elder Luo's thoughts.

"To tell you the truth, yes! I hate humans very much! If you weren't here to bring back my granddaughter, I probably would treat you the same as the other elders would. So, I am sorry to say this, but after you choose your reward, you must leave. Your presence has made some people very uncomfortable." Elder Luo said with a sad look on his face.

Yi Tianyun nodded as he understood where he was right now. The Phoenix Clan has been tortured and used by humans for so long! It was mainly because of the Phoenix blood essence Humans were willing to kill the phoenixes, or even captured them for their blood essence, which could accelerate human's cultivation!𝓵𝒊𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝙘𝒐𝙢

"I understand, I will do as you said and leave!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately looked around the shelf to find anything that might suit him.

He doesn't need a weapon, so he skipped them entirely; the same went for defensive equipment and martial arts as well! He could easily get them by killing cultivators later!

He finally wandered to the alchemy section. Phoenix Clan was gifted by their natural flames, so they have some of the most amazing Alchemy Furnace anywhere!

But he wanted to have some high-quality Divine Rune Stroke, for it was the best for him right now.

"Elder Luo, is there any High-Quality Divine Rune Stroke around?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"No, we don't have that here, Phoenix Clan isn't gifted in the Divine Rune area, so we don't normally have that here." Elder Luo said truthfully.

"Well, if that's the case, I will take this Raging Flames Divine Furnace." Yi Tianyun said as he pointed towards the small stove on the side with several phoenix carving on its side.

"Are you an alchemist?" Elder Luo asked curiously.

"Yes, but I am not that good yet." Yi Tianyun said honestly. This is the truth, Yi Tianyun's pill refinement mastery has not yet reached a master grade. But he still could boost it up as now he had a lot of mastery points that he hasn't used just yet!

Chapter 494

"If you want an alchemist furnace, it's better to choose the Heavenly Burn Divine Furnace next to that Raging Flames Divine Furnace. It doesn't have any negative effect if you fail, and it is easier to control! This Raging Flames Divine Furnace is too wild! If you don't have the ability of a master level alchemist, you will receive a backlash just from using it!" Elder Luo said solemnly. He thought that Yi Tianyun was still inexperienced, as he was young.

"Thank you very much, Elder Luo, but I think I will stick to this one." Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Well, this is your choice, but heed my word! If you are not a master level alchemist, it's best not to use this furnace until you are a master level alchemist!" Elder Luo said solemnly. 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"I understand. Thank you for worrying about me." Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

Elder Luo then took the Raging Flames Divine Furnace and immediately gave it to Yi Tianyun. "Alright, so here is your reward for bringing Yan'er back to Phoenix Nest. I hope that it could help you in the future!" Elder Luo said solemnly.

"Thank you very much, Elder Luo, I will try my best to use it to the fullest!" Yi Tianyun said as he showed his respect to Elder Luo.

For Yi Tianyun, getting his hands on a Sacred Tool rank weapon and armor was easy, as he could always get some by defeating cultivators that tried to block his path, but he couldn't get any Divine Furnace as it wasn't something that a cultivator commonly had on them.

"You don't have to thank me for it! It's my responsibility to reward you accordingly." Elder Luo said solemnly as he led Yi Tianyun outside of the Treasure room.

After they got out of the Treasure Room, Elder Feng was looking at Yi Tianyun in curiosity. "What did you choose?" Elder Feng asked as he took out a record book. It seemed that Elder Feng was also in charge of Treasure Room's records.

"He took the Raging Flames Divine Furnace." Elder Luo said honestly to Elder Feng.

"Raging Flames Divine Furnace? It's not an easy furnace to master. Even a master level alchemy couldn't master it properly. Are you going to use it or sell it?" Elder Feng asked once again.

"I will use it for myself." Yi Tianyun said honestly.

"Can you use it?" Elder Feng asked curiously as he was surprised by Yi Tianyun's answer.

"There should be no problem for me." Yi Tianyun said in the most polite way. He didn't want Elder Feng to think he was cocky.

"What is your Alchemy grade, kid?" Elder Feng asked curiously.

"Hey! Stop it, leave him alone! He has already chosen his reward; you don't need to know anything else!" Elder Luo said to refrain Elder Feng from asking further questions. Elder Feng shrugged and let Yi Tianyun leave with Elder Luo.

"Is there anything else you need?" Elder Luo asked as they walked back to the house, as it was closer to the exit.

"No, I think this Alchemy Furnace is enough." Yi Tianyun said sincerely.

"No need to hole back, ask away! If it's not because of you, I would be alone in this world! She was the last of my family, you know." Elder Luo said with a smile on his face.

"Well, if that's the case, can I meet with Yan'er before I leave?" Yi Tianyun said sincerely as he was reluctant to leave Yan'er just like that.

"You are a kind-hearted man! Of course, you can! In fact, I will always welcome you to the Phoenix Nest, here, take my token! That way, you can visit Yan'er every time you want to." Elder Luo said as he gave Yi Tianyun one of his tokens that was used as an identifying token.

After all, Elder Luo knew that Yan'er was very close to Yi Tianyun, and therefore, he didn't want to make Yan'er sad by denying Yi Tianyun's access to visit.

"Thank you very much, Elder Luo, I will cherish this token all my life. but if you give me more than this, I am afraid I'll have to pay for it." Yi Tianyun said sincerely.

"Well, since you put it that way, I will not force you to take anything else! You are a weird one, aren't you?" Elder Luo said as he was amused to see someone this virtuous. Yi Tianyun just smiled as he didn't have any more comments on that.

When they were getting close to the house, a guard approached Elder Luo nervously. "Elder! This is not good! There is something wrong with the Phoenix Cave." The guard said nervously.

"Damn! If that's the case, can you wait for me in the house with Yan'er? I will get back as soon as I am done!" Elder Luo said as he asked Yi Tianyun to wait for him inside the Clear Elegant Residence.

"Elder Luo, can I go with you to check the problem?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"If you want to come, I won't stop you, but you can't go anywhere you aren't supposed to, okay?" Elder Luo said as he was in a hurry.

"Thank you very much, Elder Luo!" Yi Tianyun said as he followed Elder Luo. They flew as it was the fastest way to reach the destination. They arrived at the Phoenix Cave not long after, and Yi Tianyun saw that the cave was beneath a giant phoenix statue that looked very magnificent!

But he also noticed that the cave entrance was flooded with a fiery magma! Some Phoenix Clan people tried hard to halt the flow of the magma by absorbing it into their bodies!

But, instead of getting stronger, Yi Tianyun noticed that the Phoenix Clan that absorbed the magma became weaker for each passing second.

Yi Tianyun was confused as the Phoenix Clan was supposed to be resistant against the fire element, but apparently, it was not entirely true!

Yi Tianyun immediately looked at the magma that flowed from the cave with his Appraisal Eye, and he was shocked to see what he found!

'Immortal Fire: High-Grade Earth Level Fire, Extremely Hot, needs an extremely cold fire to extinguish!'

This was like a gold mine to Yi Tianyun! He wanted to absorb all of it to level up his Immortal Fire!

Chapter 495

Immortal Fire wasn't something that could be absorbed without having a proper technique to do so! At the very least, having a strong fire that could nullify the effect of Immortal Fire was a must!

Yi Tianyun and Elder Luo then descended towards the Phoenix Clan, who were standing near the magma. The people were confused as they saw a human came with Elder Luo.

"Who is that human, Elder Luo?" one of them asked Elder Luo in confusion.

"He is my guest! I will handle things from here!" Elder Luo said solemnly.𝓁𝑖𝒷𝑟𝘦𝒶𝑑.𝒸𝘰𝘮

Elder Luo! What is the meaning of this? you brought him to the temple, and now you even brought him to Phoenix Cave!" Elder Lei said as he walked towards Elder Luo.

"Elder Lei, I don't mind that you judge the entire human race to be evil, but for once, trust me! He is different from the others. He proved it by bringing back my granddaughter!" Elder Luo said solemnly.

"Judge? I am just telling the truth! All humans are the same. I think he was just trying to use your granddaughter as a ticket to infiltrate the Phoenix Clan!" Elder Lei said spitefully. 𝓁𝑖𝑏𝑟𝘦𝒶𝘥.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Elder Lei! As Elder Luo said, you can judge me or the entire human race all you want, but I don't like the idea of using Yan'er as a ticket to infiltrate this clan!" Yi Tianyun said annoyedly.

"What? Am I wrong? Humans are never a credible race! They are all sinister!" Elder Lei said challengingly.

Elder Lei's word was supported by the majority of the Phoenix Clan, who stood around the Phoenix Cave as they nodded their heads after Elder Lei had finished his word.

"Enough! I said that he is an exception! I personally guarantee that!" Elder Luo said confidently.

"Elder Luo, how can you be so sure?" Elder Lei asked sarcastically.

"My granddaughter likes him a lot, and that alone is enough reason for me to trust this man!" Elder Luo said solemnly.

"Well, I hope that you are right! I will hate it when you prove yourself wrong later!" Elder Lei said sarcastically.

"Both of you stop arguing!" A commanding voice suddenly interrupted. Yi Tianyun immediately looked over, and he saw an old man coming towards them.

"Great Elder!" the two Elders said at the same time while showing their respect.

"If you have the time to argue with each other, then you should've dealt with this fire first!" The Great Elder said in annoyance.

"Yes, sir!" the two Elders instantly said as they began to deal with the spreading Fire. Elder Luo then left Yi Tianyun alone as he couldn't agitate the Great Elder!

Yi Tianyun really wanted to join Elder Luo and absorbed the Immortal Fire in this place. He was tempted by the amount of Immortal Fire that he could absorb in this place.

But for now, he couldn't let the other Phoenix Clan people judge him any further.

"Little brother! I heard that you had brought back Elder Luo's granddaughter, is this true?" The Great Elder asked as he looked over to the two elders while standing beside Yi Tianyun.

He didn't join them with quenching the Fire because his age was already making it hard for him to walk!

Contrary to everyone's belief, Phoenix wasn't an immortal creature, but they do have an extremely long lifespan!

"Yes, I have brought back Elder Luo's granddaughter to fulfill my vow to her mother." Yi Tianyun said sincerely.

Yi Tianyun looked at the Great Elder's status with his appraisal eye and saw that the Great Elder had achieved Spirit King Peak Stage!

"To tell you the truth, our Phoenix Clan will always have a negative view regarding humans. Your action could be interpreted as both an act of kindness or a deceitful act! But I believe that you are a good person, if you aren't a good person, the little girl won't be close to you!" Great Elder said solemnly.

Yi Tianyun understood where the Great Elder was coming from as the Spirit Race had the same kind of problem before, although Phoenix Clan had a long history of abuse from humans!

"Thank you very much for trusting me, Great Elder!" Yi Tianyun said as he showed his respect.

"Now, we have a problem with the evil spirit inside this Phoenix Cave. The seal that locked it inside has weakened, and because of it, the evil spirit keeps struggling to get out, and the Immortal Fire spills out as the result of its struggle! We don't have a good way to keep this Immortal Fire at bay. If we have our king now, it could be different, but never mind that!" The Great Elder said as he stopped saying anything further.

This was the exact information that Yi Tianyun needed! He couldn't ask any of the Phoenix Clan directly for the problem that their clan had, but thankfully the Great Elder told him in person!

"Great Elder, I am sorry if I am brazen, but can I help the Phoenix Clan quench this Immortal Fire? I am quite good at it!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.

"Are you sure? This Immortal Fire is extremely hot! It would burn anything that it touches!" Great Elder said as he was surprised that Yi Tianyun wanted to help.

"It's not a problem, Great Elder. It is my main Fire, after all!" Yi Tianyun said as he showed the Great Elder that he had Immortal Fire under his control!

"Immortal Fire cultivator?" The Great Elder said in awe.

"Yes, so, can I help?" Yi Tianyun asked hopefully.

"Yes, of course you can!" The Great Elder said as he was thrilled to watch what Yi Tianyun would do.

After getting his permission, Yi Tianyun's eye flashes in excitement! It was his time to absorb this Immortal Fire!

Chapter 496

After getting his permission to absorb the Immortal Fire at the entrance of the Phoenix Cave, Yi Tianyun immediately walked toward the Immortal Fire excitedly.

Everyone noticed that a human was coming over. Elder Lei and Elder Luo, in particular, were surprised by this scene. They were also confused as the Great Elder only smiled and said nothing at all.

"Elder Luo! What is your guest doing? Is he crazy? He will be burned alive in an instant!" Elder Lei said annoyedly.

"What are you doing! Get back immediately!" Elder Luo shouted to Yi Tianyun.

"It is okay, Elder Luo! The Great Elder has given me his permission to help the Phoenix Clan this time!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

"Did the Great Elder give you his permission?" both Elders said at the same time as they became even more confused than before. They immediately looked at the Great Elder and saw that he was still smiling at Yi Tianyun.

Without further ado, Yi Tianyun immediately reached over to the Immortal Fire and activated his Heaven Swallowing Divine Secret Art! A large amount of Immortal Fire immediately rushed towards him as the absorption speed was high!

Elder Luo was running towards Yi Tianyun to save him before the Immortal Fire burned him alive, but he was too late! But the next scene that he saw surprised him and the rest of the Phoenix Clan tremendously!

The amount of Immortal Fire that Yi Tianyun absorbed was not normal! In fact, none of the Phoenix Clan people ever saw someone who could absorb this much Immortal Fire!

'Get 1.000 Immortal Fire Mastery Point, 2.100 Immortal Fire Mastery Point, ...'

Yi Tianyun's immortal Fire mastery increased rapidly. Yi Tianyun was grinning happily as he knew that it wouldn't be difficult to level up the Immortal Fire to High-Grade Earth Level Fire at this rate! 𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Seeing the scene that developed in front of their eyes, the Phoenix Clan people were still in shock as they saw that Yi Tianyun easily absorbed the flame to his body!

They began to wonder about the fire that seemed to have no effect whatsoever on Yi Tianyun's body.

At the same time, the Great Elder walked toward Elder Lei and Elder Luo. "Don't worry. He is an Immortal Fire Cultivator. The Immortal Fire wouldn't have any effect on him. This Little Brother is surely a blessing for our Phoenix Clan!

It is almost impossible to find any Immortal Fire Cultivator in this world!" Great Elder said in awe.

"He can control the Immortal Fire? isn't it only our king who was able to control the Immortal Fire?" Elder Lei said confusedly.

He surely was confused about how to look Yi Tianyun in the eye after badmouthing him so badly, and now, Yi Tianyun was helping them solve their own problem!

"He is a blessing! I just knew it when I first saw him!" Elder Luo said with a smile.

"Stop lying, Elder Luo! If he didn't bring back your grandchild, you'd probably drive him out immediately!" Elder Lei said knowingly.

"Well, it is better than you who keep trying to drive him out of the clan's territory as soon as possible!" Elder Luo said as he smirked to Elder Lei.

Soon, the Immortal Fire on the entrance has gone down tremendously. Yi Tianyun's mastery itself was still halfway before it leveled up.

If he wanted to absorb more Immortal Fire, he had to go inside the cave! "Great Elder, can I also absorb the Immortal Fire inside the cave?" Yi Tianyun asked for the Great Elder's permission.

"Sure, just stop at the deep passage inside the cave." The Great Elder said casually.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head, and while still absorbing the Immortal Fire, he started to walk inside the Phoenix Cave! This was a great opportunity to level up his Immortal Fire!

"Now, both of you don't have to argue anymore! I officially welcome the little brother as our official guest! It is thanks to him that we don't have to resort to Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation's help! Otherwise, it would be disastrous! Now, did all of you understand everything that I just said?" The Great Elder said excitedly.

"We understand, Great Elder!" the Phoenix Clan People on the scene said simultaneously.

Elder Lei surely felt guilty about Yi Tianyun now. He was so rude to him before without ever knowing that Yi Tianyun could help them solve their problem.

At the same time, Yi Tianyun heard everything that was being discussed on the outside, and he smirked excitedly as he was recognized as an official guest!

Chapter 497

Yi Tianyun doesn't care about what Elder Lei had in mind because he knew that Elder Lei was also hostile toward the Human Race! Yi Tianyun continued to absorb the Immortal Fire from the Phoenix Cave as he went deeper inside the cave.

'DING!'

'Congratulation for player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully leveling up Immortal Fire to High-Grade Earth Level!'

'Next Level requires 5,000,000 Mastery.'

The sound that Yi Tianyun has been waiting for all this time was finally here! He knew that if he didn't absorb the Immortal Fire greedily like this, it would take a long time for him to achieve this level for the Immortal Fire! But 5 million mastery points for the next level seemed so far away!

"You can stop right here, young man! The Immortal Fire is finished, from here onward, the place would be covered with Heavenly Yin Fire! even if you have the Immortal Fire inside your body, it will still prove a challenge to absorb that fire!" The Great Elder said as he suddenly appeared beside Yi Tianyun.

Yi Tianyun the path in front of him with the Appraisal Eye, and sure enough, there was no more Immortal Fire in there, but the Heavenly Yin Fire was a more advanced version of the Netherworld's Fire. He immediately realized why the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation offered help to Phoenix Clan as they might have someone that could control and absorb this Heavenly Yin Fire!

And so, Yi Tianyun and the Great Elder walked back to the mouth of the cave.

"Great! I never expected you would be able to absorb all of that Immortal Fire! we would have a hard time dealing with it!" Elder Luo said as he expressed his gratitude to Yi Tianyun.

"Yeah, thank you so much for your help, I am sorry for my rude behavior earlier!" Elder Lei said awkwardly.

"It's fine! I knew that Elder Lei must have his own reason to hate humans that much, and I can't blame you either. I, myself, know that humans were indeed troublemakers!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at Elder Lei.

"Great! I didn't expect you to have a heart and apologize either! This is my first!" Elder Luo said to Elder Lei teasingly.

"Shut up! I am in the wrong, and it is normal to apologize!" Elder Lei said annoyedly to Elder Luo.

...

"Although the Immortal Fire is taken care of, we still have the Heavenly Yin Fire spewing from the Evil Spirit inside! Do we have a Divine Rune Grandmaster to help us seal the Evil Spirit inside?" The Great Elder asked the two elders.

"We have found some Divine Rune Grand Master, Great Elder, but unfortunately, it would take a long time for them to finish making the seal! We couldn't find any Divine Rune Grand Master at the speck of Soul level!" Elder Lei said solemnly.

Divine Rune Grandmaster rank was divided into three categories, Speck of Eye – the basic level of Divine Rune Grandmaster, Speck of Soul – Medium Level of the Divine Rune Grandmaster, and lastly, Speck of Life – the highest level on Divine Rune Grandmaster rank!

Someone like Spirit Race Great Elder and Imperial Preceptor was on Divine Rune Grandmaster Speck of Eye level! The same could be said for Yi Tianyun now. He knew that he only needed a few more mastery points to level up to Speck of Soul. After all, he was blessed with having the Heavenly Eyes!

So, Yi Tianyun used the free mastery point that he got earlier and spent it on Divine Rune Mastery without hesitation!

'DING!'

'Congratulation for player [Yi Tianyun] for successfully leveling up Divine Rune Mastery to Grandmaster-Speck of Soul level!'

'Next rank requires 10.000.000 Mastery points. 𝒍𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝙤𝒎

Yi Tianyun was surprised to see that he needed 10 million mastery points to level up his Divine Rune Mastery to the next level, he couldn't help but wonder just how many years would it take to get that much mastery point!

"Great Elder, if you are looking for Divine Rune Grandmaster at the Speck of Soul level, I will be able to help. In fact, I am a Divine Rune Grandmaster at the speck of soul!" Yi Tianyun said confidently to the great Elder, but everyone else also happened to hear this.

Everyone was instantly shocked to hear that Yi Tianyun was a Divine Rune Grandmaster – speck of soul level at his age, they couldn't help but wonder whether Yi Tianyun's words where the truth or not, but they know that they were looking at a cultivation monster, not a harmless boy!

Chapter 498

"I am a Divine Rune Grandmaster at Speck of Soul level!" Yi Tianyun repeated once again as he saw that everyone was silent. The people from the Phoenix Clan looked at each other in disbelief.

They still doubted if Yi Tianyun was telling the truth or not. Yi Tianyun's appearance as a boy really made it hard for them to believe what he just said!

"You can test me if you don't believe me, you know." Yi Tianyun said annoyedly as he still didn't see anyone believing him.

"Yes, of course! We can test you! after all. It would be life-threatening to go down there if you are not qualified!" The Great Elder said knowingly.

"So, where and when did the test start?" Yi Tianyun asked indifferently.

"We can start here right away! All you need to do is engrave some Divine Rune Paper with a Grandmaster grade Divine Rune. We will know whether you are telling the truth or not by the speed and quality of your Divine Rune!" Great Elder said as he immediately signaled for the rest of the Phoenix Clan to set the place.

The Great Elder was secretly excited as a man who could control the Immortal Fire was also a Divine Rune Grandmaster who offered them help without asking for anything!

Soon enough, two Phoenix Clan People came forward and were surprised as they saw Yi Tianyun was the Divine Rune Grandmaster who was about to be tested!𝙡𝒊𝒃𝓻𝒆𝒂𝓭.𝙘𝓸𝓶

"You! I didn't expect to see you so soon!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he walked toward the Great Elder and Yi Tianyun with Pu Ren!

"Shopkeeper Ye! I didn't expect it either!" Yi Tianyun said as he saw that Shopkeeper Ye was still holding the box that he previously opened.

"Do you know each other?" The Great Elder asked curiously.

"Yeah, he was the one that opened the Great Elder's box. Otherwise, we probably couldn't find anyone to open it!" Shopkeeper Ye said with a smile on his face.

"You are the one that opened the box?" The Great Elder said in disbelief. He knew that opening the box itself was a statement on its own! No matter how hard he tried to find a Divine Rune Grandmaster, none of them was able to open the box!

"Yes, he is the one that opened the box! But, may I ask you what you are doing here in the Phoenix Cave?" Shopkeeper Ye asked curiously to Yi Tianyun.

The Great Elder then told Shopkeeper Ye about what happened before his arrival, surprising Shopkeeper Ye and Pu Ren incredibly.

"Damn! If I knew that you are this strong, I would bring you here immediately! But as I don't know your Divine Rune Grade, I refrain from doing so! But since you've already proven yourself when you opened the box, you don't need to take the test anymore!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly.

"No, I still want to take the test! It was more of a reassurance for the people here! After all, Shopkeeper Ye and Pu Ren were the only ones who saw what I did earlier." Yi Tianyun said politely.

Yi Tianyun then pulled out his Divine Rune Stroke and began to engrave a Grandmaster Grade Divine Rune on a piece of Divine Rune Paper. Yi Tianyun was really fast, and the complexity of his Divine Rune was also exceptional, but as flowing water, Yi Tianyun finished engraving the complex Divine Rune without any hitch!

Everyone was surprised once again as this was the first time they saw a divine rune engraving technique as fluid as Yi Tian Yun did just now!

But they noticed that the Divine Rune Stroke that Yi Tianyun used just now was only a Divine Rune Stroke at Soul Tool rank, garbage in their eyes, as a Faction that was on the same level as Divine Nation, the item in this rank was nothing!

"I just brought back some Divine Rune Stroke that my customer trades with some of my Spirit Medicine! Come, pick one that you like!" Shopkeeper Ye said to Yi Tianyun as he put the Divine Rune Stroke on the table.

Yi Tianyun looked at them and saw that the highest level was at Middle-Grade Sacred Tool rank, while the other two were at Lower Grade Sacred Tool Rank, but one of them was a Dragon Blood Divine Rune Stroke, which had the same attribute as his Dragon God Bloodline.

"Well, if that's the case, I will take this one!" Yi Tianyun said as he took the Dragon Blood Divine Rune Stroke.

Shopkeeper Ye was a little bit surprised that Yi Tianyun only picked the Lower Grade Divine Rune Stroke instead of the Middle-Grade Divine Rune Stroke!

Shopkeeper Ye knew that the difference between the Lower-Grade Divine Rune Stroke and the Middle-Grade Divine Rune Stroke was huge!

"Are you sure?" Shopkeeper Ye asked curiously.

"Yeah, never been surer before!" Yi Tianyun answered casually.

So, after taking his Divine Rune Stroke, everyone's attention is shifted back to the box on the table.

"So, is there any treasure inside this box?" Elder Luo asked curiously.

"Yes! after seeing what it was, I immediately rushed back here without stopping!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he opened the box. A bright light immediately shone through the place, blinding everyone who had their eyes on it.

But as the light dimmed, everyone could see that inside the box was a Phoenix Blood Essence at the highest level!

'Phoenix Royal Blood Essence: the highest grade of the Phoenix Clan Blood Essence!

Effect: Enhance the absorption rate of the user while having a chance to obtain the power of the Phoenix. Can also suppress the power of Evil!'

Yi Tianyun, who was observing on the side, was surprised to see that it was a Blood Essence that was comparable with a Divine Tool! This was the blood essence of a Phoenix's imperial family!

Chapter 499

"As you can see, it's a Royal Phoenix Blood Essence! It was impossible to open this box before, but thanks to you, we will be able to suppress the evil spirit lurking inside the Phoenix Cave!" Shopkeeper Ye said excitedly.

"How can this Royal Phoenix Blood Essence be placed inside a box?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"The Ancestor put it inside the box in case something bad happened. And we thought that right now was the right time to open it to help us fight against the Evil Spirit!" The Great Elder said as he explained the circumstance to Yi Tianyun.

"I heard that you keep saying there are evil spirits inside the cave. What is this evil spirit exactly?" Yi Tianyun asked as he didn't know what Evil Spirit that the Phoenix Clan was talking about.

"A long time ago, an Evil Spirit Race came to this nest to capture all of the Phoenix Clan! We are overpowered by the Evil Spirit Race, but fortunately, the King at the time sacrificed himself to seal all the Evil Spirit Race inside the Phoenix Cave! No matter what we did, we couldn't destroy them. In turn, the seal must be renewed after a while!" Great Elder said with a sad expression on his face.

This sad expression was also apparent on other Phoenix Race people, but some showed anger and desperation. It seemed that this Evil Spirit Problem was starting to take a toll on the Phoenix Clan!𝓵𝒊𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝒅.𝓬𝓸𝙢

"So, where is the King of the Phoenix Clan now?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"The King disembarked on a journey at least a year ago to find a way to eliminate the Evil Spirit once and for all. Unfortunately, he hasn't returned yet.

Otherwise, it would be easy for him to renew the seal of the Evil Spirit." Great Elder said as he shook his head.

"So, did you really have to use this Royal Phoenix Blood Essence to strengthen the seal?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"Yes, we need your Immortal Fire to suppress the Heavenly Yin Fire, and then we will use this Royal Phoenix Blood Essence outside their prison to reseal them with a strong Immortal Fire!" The Great Elder explained.

Yi Tianyun began to wonder. If what the Great Elder explained so far was true, then it meant the Evil Spirit Race that was imprisoned under the Phoenix Cave has gotten stronger! 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝒓𝙚𝓪𝙙.𝒄𝒐𝙢

It meant that even if they renewed the seal, it would be destroyed again faster than what has happened now.

Yi Tianyun started to think that maybe one of the prisoners inside had become a Saint King and thus became stronger than the seal itself!

The next thing that he wondered about was how wasteful it was to use Royal Phoenix Blood Essence just to renew a seal like this! So, he asked a question that really bugged him a while ago.

"So, if I can renew the seal with my own power, can I have this Royal Phoenix Blood Essence?" Yi Tianyun said curiously.

Everyone was startled once again, but they already knew that Yi Tianyun could do many things.

"If you are able to make a strong seal, I will give you this Royal Phoenix Blood Essence to you. But are you sure? You never heard of the Evil Spirit Race before. You're obviously too young to deal with them!" The Great Elder said worriedly.

"Don't worry, Great Elder. I am only going to test my theory out. If it fails, we will go the old way!" Yi Tianyun said casually.

"As long as it's not a problem for you, then you can do what you want!" The Great Elder said as he shook his head to Yi Tianyun while sighing.

"Okay, so when are we going down there?" Yi Tianyun asked as he wanted to finish this quest as soon as possible.

"Well, we can go anytime you want. So, if you feel like it, we can go now!" The Great Elder said casually.

"That's great! I don't have anything else to do right now, so we can go down now!" Yi Tianyun said excitedly.

Immediately, the Great Elder guided Yi Tianyun while releasing his full aura to expel the Heavenly Yin Fire that was surrounding the cave system.

The fire seemed to be trying to get away from the Great Elder's aura!

"Now, here is where your first help would be. You have to clear this Heavenly Yin Fire as the Immortal Fire is stronger than our Phoenix Fire! But, no matter what happens to you after this, we the Phoenix Clan will always help you in the future!" Great Elder said confidently.

Yi Tianyun nodded his head and immediately stepped forward to deal with the Heavenly Yin Fire on his own!

But instead of pulling out his Immortal Fire, Yi Tianyun activated his Heaven Swallowing Divine Secret Art to absorb the Heavenly Yin Fire!

The Great Elder was surprised as he saw that Yi Tianyun was absorbing the Heavenly Yin Fire directly to his body!

All he knew was that a cultivator wouldn't be able to handle two kinds of fire inside their body like this!

The Great Elder knew that Yi Tianyun had the Immortal Fire, which was an extremely fierce fire, but the Heavenly Yin Fire was an ominous Fire that was colder and fluid!

Immortal Fire and this Heavenly Yin Fire was a contradiction to each other!

"Are you going to be okay by absorbing the fire like that?" The Great Elder asked as he looked at Yi Tianyun in worry.

"I am okay, Great Elder! Relax, I will be fine!" Yi Tianyun said as he smiled at the Great Elder. But the reward notification kept ringing inside Yi Tianyun's head!

'Get 1.700 Mastery Point, 2.140 Mastery Point, 3.411 Mastery Point, ...'

The amount of Mastery points that Yi Tianyun got was great. At this rate, he'll be able to level up the Netherworld's Fire soon!

That was because this Heavenly Yin Fire was more in tune with Netherworld's Fire than anything else!

Chapter 500

With Yi Tianyun clearing the path as he absorbed all the Heavenly Yin Fire he saw, they were able to advance inside the Phoenix Cave smoothly. Soon enough, Yi Tianyun, Great Elder, and some of the Phoenix Clan Elder that followed them not too far behind arrived at the gate that kept the Evil Spirit Race sealed inside!

"Is everyone ready to renew the seal once again?" The Great Elder asked the rest of the Phoenix Clan that followed behind. They all nodded their heads and kept their hands close to their weapons in case something bad happened.

Yi Tianyun himself was getting hyped. He was curious about this Evil Spirit Race that could drive the Phoenix Clan into a corner like this!

Yi Tianyun kept absorbing the Heavenly Yin Fire that surrounded the place, and he noticed that the place was covered with Great Arrays!

Yi Tianyun finally noticed that some of the Divine Runes that constituted the Great Array were eroded by the Heavenly Yin Fire.

Yi Tianyun was impressed! Even though this Divine Rune was burned by a strong fire like this all day long, it still persevered!

In the inner section, Yi Tianyun noticed two enormous Phoenix Statues that dominated two Divine Beasts, which was a little ironic, as now the Phoenix Clan couldn't even dominate this Evil Spirit Race!

"Is the Evil Spirit Race confined under the Phoenix's Statue?" Yi Tianyun asked as he noticed a flow of dangerous aura seeping through from under the Phoenix Statue.

"They are confined there, but it is not a statue! Those two Phoenixes were our ancestors that sacrificed themselves to prevent the Evil Spirit from bringing further harm to us!" Great Elder said with a sad look on his face.

Yi Tianyun looked at the two Phoenixes again in awe. This kind of selflessness had to be rewarded greatly!

But suddenly, a gloomy voice was heard echoing in the nearly empty cave room.

"Finally, you came to our prison! Just so you know, we will break this Great Array that imprisons us soon! just you wait, we will obliterate you entirely!" The voice said as Yi Tianyun noticed that it was coming from under the Phoenix!𝓵𝓲𝓫𝒓𝓮𝙖𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Shut up! We will soon find a way to destroy you!" Great Elder said as he sent a shockwave toward the bottom of the phoenix statue.

Yi Tianyun was a little bit surprised that the Evil Spirit could talk through their imprisonment. Yi Tianyun realized how severe the damage the Divine Rune that imprisoned this Evil Spirit Race has suffered!

Yi Tianyun constantly observed all the Great Array inside this place and noticed that the Evil Spirit wasn't supposed to talk at all!

"With that kind of attack, you are dreaming of hurting me? Go back to drinking your mother's milk! You are clearly 100 years too early to fight me!" The voice said tauntingly. 𝒍𝙞𝙗𝓻𝙚𝒂𝓭.𝒄𝙤𝙢

"Can you take a look at the Divine Rune that constituted the great array inside this place? If you can, could you please fix it one by one? His power is supposed to be nullified if the Great Array was fixed back to normal." Great Elder said calmly.

"No problem, I will take a look right away!" Yi Tianyun said as he immediately activated his Heavenly Eyes and inspected the damaged part.

Yi Tianyun saw that the Divine Rune that constituted the Great Array was indeed a Grandmaster Grade Divine Rune.

If it weren't for the Heavenly Eyes, this Divine Rune would still prove difficult to repair!

But now that Yi Tianyun has activated his Heavenly Eyes, he easily engraved the Divine Rune to fix the great array!

"Oh, I see! You have found a Divine Rune Grandmaster to fix the Great Array! But I will not let you fix it this time!" The voice said as a great wave of Heavenly Yin Fire came through!

Even if the Evil Spirit was sealed, it was still able to attack with a terrifying 560 million combat power!

Yi Tianyun was startled for a second and immediately took a defensive stance, but Great Elder quickly jumped forward and blocked the attack with his own!

Yi Tianyun saw that the Great Elder summoned a Phoenix Fire that reached 700 million Combat Power!

The Great Elder's attack met with the Evil Spirit's attack and vaporized in the middle of the room!

"Oh, you are not bad! But let's see whether you can protect your Divine Rune Grandmaster for the time that he fixes the Divine Rune, let's see who will go down first!" The Evil Spirit said with a challenging tone.

Yi Tianyun raised his eyebrows as he felt like being challenged! The Evil Spirit certainly didn't know Yi Tianyun's engraving speed!
