In the grand hall of Universe Hall, the bustling figures of Steward Ru Ming and others had already entered the Shadow Tower Forest, including all the elders on duty and two Ancestors.
Only the Old Hall Master and Shen Shixing remained at opposite ends of the hall, silently facing each other.
How could it be possible for me to deny this?
No, how could he deny it? Nearly a thousand years had passed, and he was close to forgetting his original identity. Even as he faced the impending Heavenly Tribulation, he found himself thinking about how he could confront Jie Donglai in the guise of Yan Dong. He was no longer Coco.
The Old Hall Master could see traces of reluctance in Shen Shixing's eyes, but more than that, there was an unwavering determination from the past.
What difference would it make if we did this? No one could open the door between the two realms from the outside, Ye Youluo...
He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly recalling what Shen Shixing had said earlier—that those Nine Nether Cultivators who had been eliminated were now gone.
No, the task of opening the door had never rested on his clever Junior. She shone like Tian Zai's Blazing Sun; no matter where she was, she always attracted their attention first. So why not close the door instead? The tasks of those outside might not necessarily involve opening it.
At that moment, Shen Shixing's smile was so sincere. I don't deny it. Because Ye Youluo's plan had succeeded; after a millennium, he could finally shed the outer layer that Dongyi had draped over him and return to being Shen Shixing, struggling at the bottom of the Ninth Underworld.
Ye, You, Ming.
The Old Hall Master stared intently at Shen Shixing. Nearly a thousand years of dormancy was unimaginable for any organization, yet the Ninth Underworld had truly done so. At the same time, he realized that there must have been plans in place long before this moment. I don't deny it. Because Ye Youluo alone could navigate such a situation; more importantly, two Daoist Masters from the Ninth Underworld were scheming behind the scenes while Ye Youluo and Bu Luo happened to be in sync.
Truly worthy of having lived for thousands of years, thought Yi Dongzi as Shen Shixing slowly took out a palm-sized transparent Light Shield and tossed it above his head. The Light Shield expanded on its own, enveloping the entire Universe Hall within its bounds. It was like a winding Underworld River—a Pseudo-Artifact. Now they had time to converse slowly; after all, this was your elder's initial moment.
He didn't have time to chat with me every day, hmph.
The Old Hall Master snorted coldly, raising his leg staff to cast a spell, launching an attack against Shen Shixing. With the destruction of the nest, how could there be any intact eggs? Ru Ming need not worry that the battle between Integration Stage cultivators would completely destroy the Universe Hall; defeating Shen Shixing was the priority before discussing anything else.
The Hall Master need not be so anxious; Tian Zai was not without Dong Lai, after all.
In the Immortal Eastern Realm, if the Ninth Underworld truly sought to act so decisively, then it would be Feitian Dongcheng.
The Old Hall Master trembled with excitement. For over a hundred thousand years, no one had emerged from Tiandong City. Tiandong had long lost its ruler, which led to Ru Ming's chaotic struggle for power. Although various Daoist Sects managed Tiandong, Tiandong City was still the foundation of the human race; how could it be said to be destroyed so easily? That would be a grave sin.
Who said they would destroy Tiandong City? They would not allow Bu Luo to obliterate Universe Hall and simply change the master of Tiandong City. Just think about it: if those soldiers and cultivators fighting in the Northern Region were completely unaware, what would happen if a sudden force struck from behind?
As the two spoke and exchanged blows, their spiritual power was contained within their bodies. Each collision could cause tremendous destruction. The Old Hall Master struck empty air, causing the entire hall's roof to be blown off, creating ripples in the Nine-Turns Underworld River.
As Universe Hall was destroyed, someone finally noticed the changes occurring there. As news spread, more and more people gathered around Universe Hall to witness the battle between the two Combined Cultivators. Due to the cover of the Nine-Turns Underworld River, they couldn't fully perceive its might, but from witnessing Universe Hall being struck down, they could glean some clues and silently feel the immense power of both combatants.
Someone emerged.
As a flash of red light passed by, those waiting in Cosmic Plaza shouted excitedly. With contestants continuously being eliminated, the Sky East Tournament quickly revealed its original participants. Yan Dong watched closely to see who would emerge from Dongyi.
It was Ying Zhan.
Ying Zhan?
"Ying Zhan?"
Without waiting for the crowd's surprise, Mu Qinglong, accompanied by the Nine Nether Cultivators, surrounded Ying Zhan. The Cosmic Plaza was not just an ordinary city center for viewing; it was the only fixed spatial marker in Feitian Dongcheng. No matter where one entered the Shadow Tower Forest, they would emerge from the Cosmic Plaza. If that marker were erased, no one could return to Tiandong City. Soon, Tian Zai would have Nine Nether Immortals and Dong Fan taking over the entire Tiandong City.
As soon as Ying Zhan appeared in the Cosmic Plaza, he barely had time to catch his breath before being encircled by a group of Nine Nether Cultivators. It was clear that the time for battle had come.
"Ying Zhan?"
Even Mu Qinglong was somewhat surprised. That guy named Jiang Ping had managed to hold on until now and only emerged after everyone else. If it weren't for Ye Youluo, could that guy have claimed first place in the Sky East Tournament? It was truly unexpected.
"Mu Qinglong, are we planning to open a passage between the two realms and let those beasts out?"
