Fortunately, the Duchess of the Underworld has unraveled this grand scheme. Currently, she is battling the remnants of the Heavenly Emperor in the Twenty-One Heavens, isolated and without support. I implore all Yan Luo Lords to allow me to gather the thoughts of the underworld and lend Ming Hou a helping hand!
The Reincarnation Stone was the first to explode with fury: "How dare you invade our underworld! With great enemies before us, why are you still playing petty games? Quickly eliminate that Heavenly Emperor and let our underworld's might be known!"
Er Dian Yan Luo Ming Yin was the first to take action: "Those who offend our underworld shall face no mercy!"
Following him were the Five Halls Yama Ping Zhong and other Yan Luo, each moving into action. Soon, outside the Ten Halls of Yama, the spirits of the underworld gathered.
In their prison, Wang Er Zhu and others watched as countless souls gathered, their faces turning pale. Is this truly the underworld? The Ten Yama Kings are all Imperial Realm beings—what a terrifying force!
They had witnessed it, but would their own lives be spared?
At that moment, Yun Zhi Yue was still engaged in battle with the Heavenly Emperor. Though one was a remnant soul and the other borrowed power from the Imperial Realm, their life-and-death struggle was no less intense than that of any Imperial Realm being.
Amidst the crowd watching, the two shattered everything within the Ancestral Domain, except for Fu Xiu's secluded area, which remained intact under Di Wei's shroud, drawing all eyes upon it.
Tide squinted: "There's still something going on there."
Ji Wei wondered: "Where have those young ones gone? Are they inside?"
Su Ye raised an eyebrow: "It's hard to say. Ben Jun is quite curious about how Yun Zhi Yue made it up here; we all witnessed her entering the underworld."
Li Shang glanced at Fu Xiu's secluded area, where a faint shadow of Yin Qi lingered—an Evil Spirit's presence. Ha! It seems that after not returning to the underworld for so long, she has become a sieve.
Noticing Li Shang's fluctuating expression, Su Ye immediately remarked: "Li Shang Di Jun, do you have any discoveries? You seem to understand the underworld better than we do."
It was indeed strange; Li Shang Di Jun had been born into the Imperial Realm and had opened Wujie with a sword. To this day, no one knew his true origins—was he truly a being of the heavenly realm?
This remark caught everyone's attention, and they looked on in astonishment. What did Su Ye mean?
Tide Emperor pressed further: "Yun Zhi Yue is connected to many Imperial Realm beings in the underworld. Why have you taken her as your disciple? What are your intentions?"
Faced with the scrutiny of numerous Imperial Realm beings, Li Shang retorted mockingly: "She is not my disciple; she is my partner. You are not worthy to know Ben Jun's identity."
Bi Fang sneered: "What an audacious claim!"
Yue Qi coldly interjected: "Yun Zhi Yue has nothing to do with you."
As Li Shang drew ire from all sides, Yun Zhi Yue seemed to sense something amiss. Just then, she was struck by an attack and injured, drawing everyone's attention.
Coughing up blood that trickled from her lips, Yun Zhi Yue stood at Fu Xiu's secluded location, watching as Long Chang halted his assault.
In the realm of illusions, the view was elevated. Long Chang towered over the scene, his presence a stark reminder of the vastness of the Imperial Realm, where he stood far above others. Even as a mere remnant of a soul, he was not someone easily obstructed.
"Step aside," he commanded. "Do not let your selfish desires bring about great calamity. Fu Xiu has already succumbed to madness. If he escapes, it will unleash disaster upon the world. The demons know no barriers; they only grow stronger through slaughter. When that time comes, crossing the Imperial Realm will be trivial—who can stand in his way?"
Due to the blood sacrifice of the Batwing Clan, Yun Zhi Yue and Long Chang found themselves trapped in the Ancestral Domain, unaware of the changes occurring outside. However, their actions were deliberately showcased for the Emperor to observe.
Yun Zhi Yue remained oblivious to Li Shang's presence just beyond their confinement. She glanced at the closed-off area beneath her feet, where her brother resided.
"We cannot retreat!"
