Chapter 443: The Gathering of Heroes, Ji Mo Li's Plight, and My Research into Poison Dao

Chapter 443: The Gathering of Heroes, Ji Mo Li's Plight, and My Research into Poison Dao

Whoosh!

The howling wind raged between heaven and earth, like an unyielding gale, filled with sharp cutting power, making people's skin feel cold, as if their entire bodies were about to be sliced open.

The entire Luo Yun City had already experienced a great battle and was reduced to half ruins.

The city gates of Luo Yun had long been obliterated, leaving only ruins behind. The appearance of two Temple Gods in the mortal world had resulted in significant destruction.

Boom!

A terrifying blast echoed in an instant, even the thunder in the sky, triggered by the emergence of the Divine Tribulation, was completely overwhelmed at this moment.

The heavens and earth were filled with a sense of oppression, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Ji Mo Li stood in his black armor, emitting a dark aura. His fingers tightly gripped the umbrella spear, exuding extreme dominance as he blasted the two Temple Gods away.

Yun'e and Zhou Peng, transformed into Temple Gods, possessed unparalleled strength. Even though they were weakened and exhausted at this moment, they still belonged to the top tier of existence in the mortal world.

Ji Mo Li held the umbrella spear at a slant, standing above the ruins where Zhou Chengguo's body lay.

Endless dark and sinister whirlpools of death energy surged and raged, flowing turbulently.

The air seemed to emit a mournful wail, as if it couldn't bear the burden.

It was as if the Milky Way had been cut in half, pouring down endlessly. The divine essence and death energy surrounding Ji Mo Li raged, stirring up an unceasing storm, sweeping through and erasing everything around him!

Ji Mo Li's aura became increasingly terrifying.

Li Che held Xi Xi in his arms, hovering in mid-air. His ink-colored robe fluttered, and his black, sturdy hair danced wildly in the heavens.

"Has he broken through the Divine Tribulation?"

In Li Che's eyes, a faint golden mist swirled, and although he had analyzed Ji Mo Li's increase in strength, he wasn't overly surprised.

Even Lu Taibai could challenge the Divine Tribulation under tremendous pressure. After his clone was destroyed, Ji Mo Li should have also sensed the crisis. Under the same crisis, the probability of challenging the Divine Tribulation was not small.

The successful breakthrough was not beyond Li Che's expectations.

However, there were still some aspects that surprised Li Che, such as the unconcealed death energy on Ji Mo Li's body!

The death energy was so dark and overwhelming, as if it was declaring to the world that Ji Mo Li had joined forces with the Corpse God Sect!

And the Corpse God Sect was a rebel faction of the Great Buddhist Kingdom!

Betraying the Great Buddhist Kingdom and raising the flag of rebellion was a force that the kingdom would not tolerate.

The Emperor had sent Ji Mo Li to the Jiangnan region to suppress the Corpse God Sect, but instead, Ji Mo Li had become a high-ranking member of the Corpse God Sect!

Now it seemed that within the Jiangnan region, Ji Mo Li's territory, coupled with his breakthrough to the Divine Tribulation, made him one of the top-tier experts in the mortal world.

Therefore, Ji Mo Li's actions became increasingly radical and arrogant.

Li Che's eyes gradually turned cold.

He had never held a favorable impression of the Corpse God Sect.

In the past, two mountains had weighed heavily on Li Che's mind: the Corpse God Sect and Ji Mo Li, and of course, the current Emperor was also a mountain of pressure.

However, the former two were the most oppressive threats that Li Che had felt in his heart.

Therefore, Ji Mo Li must die, and the Corpse God Sect must be eradicated!

Ji Mo Li stood amidst the surging waves of death energy.

His armor clanked, and his black cloak billowed endlessly. His gaze was locked onto Li Che.

"Li Che?"

Ji Mo Li's eyes were indifferent, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

"Perfect, since both of you are here today, I'll deal with you together."

There was no further conversation.

For Ji Mo Li, Li Che and Xi Xi had ruined too many of his plans.

The hatred between them had reached a point where there was no need for further discussion.

Moreover, Ji Mo Li could clearly sense a boiling killing intent from Li Che, who was holding Xi Xi.

The rumored honest and humble Divine Carving Saint displayed an overwhelming killing intent today.

However, Ji Mo Li didn't quite understand why Li Che showed such killing intent towards him, a Divine Tribulation expert.

Could it be that he thought he could kill a Divine Tribulation expert?

Having just broken through to the Divine Tribulation realm, Ji Mo Li was filled with confidence, an absolute trust in his own strength.

Li Che might be an exceptional genius, and his talent in the Divine Carving realm surpassed most others.

But Ji Mo Li didn't care.

Because he had broken through the Divine Tribulation.

He was powerful enough to sweep away all obstacles!

Stepping into the Divine Tribulation realm, he had already become one of the top-tier experts in the mortal world.

He didn't care about Li Che's identity as a Hellhound. As long as Li Che wasn't a Divine Tribulation expert...

There was nothing to fear.

One word, "die," was enough.

The Jiangnan region was his territory!

Boom!

Ji Mo Li's mind moved, and the Heaven and Earth Chessboard suddenly appeared, exerting overwhelming pressure on Li Che's body.

"A Hellhound?"

"You dare to come alone and show such killing intent?"

"What are you boasting about?"

"Do you think you're the King of Hell?"

Ji Mo Li spoke indifferently, his voice exploding like thunder.

His arm muscles twitched, and black demonic energy and death energy swirled. With a flick of his umbrella spear, a massive vortex appeared in space.

The spear seemed to have crossed the heavens, appearing in front of Li Che in an instant.

However, Li Che merely smiled faintly, unconcerned.

With a thought, the Heaven and Earth Chessboard instantly soared into the sky, expanding as it spun, covering a hundred li in an instant.

On the chessboard, Li Che resembled a dazzling chess piece.

With a single thought, he disappeared from his original position.

Reappearing at another chess position on the chessboard, he perfectly avoided Ji Mo Li's domineering spear that pierced through space.

Ji Mo Li's killing power was undoubtedly top-notch, fierce and formidable!

Li Che dodged the spear.

With a flick of his finger, a white chess piece shot out at high speed. In the next moment, the white chess piece expanded amidst the storm, transforming into a terrifying giant.

The giant blocked out the light, and its overwhelming aura seemed to stir up millions of waves!

It was a Divine Realm Mechanical Beast!

The Divine Machinery Ape!

Roar!

The moment the Divine Machinery Ape appeared, this humanoid mechanical beast, comparable to a Divine Tribulation expert, established a perfect connection with Li Che's mind!

Buzzing—

Countless Divine Mechanized Omnipotent Seals, like exploding strange divine seeds, unleashed a blindingly bright light, a total of ten thousand transformations!

This was the control method of the Divine Machinery Ape.

Li Che's thoughts flashed, and the Divine Machinery Ape instantly activated countless mechanism seals, unleashing a punch like a scorching sun, a hundred zhang tall. The punch from the enormous Divine Machinery Ape was utterly terrifying!

Ji Mo Li's eyes narrowed, and a look of utter horror flashed across his eyes.

"This is... a Divine Realm Mechanism Beast?!"

"You've actually mastered a Divine Realm Mechanism Beast? Even the Tang Clan hasn't managed to research and create such a beast!"

Ji Mo Li's heart was filled with shock.

After all, when he had exterminated the Tang Clan, his army had put in a lot of effort, and even the ultimate Mechanism Beast had been taken by Ji Mo Li, leaving only two behind.

"Incredible, a masterpiece of craftsmanship!"

Ji Mo Li exclaimed in his heart.

But...

That was all.

The Umbrella Spear twisted, and the terrifying killing intent merged into the spear, stabbing fiercely towards the Divine Machinery Ape.

"Dead things are still dead things. How can the power of external objects compare to the true power of the Divine Tribulation?!"

A clump of pitch-black flame danced and leaped out, precisely the Nether Flame, one of the three calamities of the Divine Tribulation that Ji Mo Li had condensed through the Dao Position.

Above Luo Yun City, the battle between the Temple God and Zhou Cheng Guo, a Half-Step Divine Tribulation cultivator, came to an end.

However, before the citizens and wanderers of Luo Yun City could even catch their breath, a second, even more terrifying confrontation erupted!

It wasn't a Half-Step Divine Tribulation, but the true power of the Divine Realm!

Ji Mo Li, enveloped in the Death Aura Vortex, seemed to stand in a small Profound Realm, fearlessly unleashing his power and cultivation.

Boom!!!

Accompanied by a deafening roar, transparent ripples emanated from the point of contact between the Divine Machinery Ape and Ji Mo Li!

The entire sky above Luo Yun City seemed to fall into silence at that moment.

Air, winter rain, blood, divine essence, Dao essence, and everything else shattered in the collision, turning into chaotic debris. Ji Mo Li stood in the Death Aura Vortex, unmoving, his Umbrella Spear held at a slant, emanating a killing intent that filled the heavens. Blood light constantly burst forth from his back.

"What a Divine Realm Mechanism Beast..."

Ji Mo Li exclaimed in admiration. Even with the combat power of a Martial Deity, it wasn't affected by the will of heaven and earth!

It was truly beyond anyone's expectations.

Was this Mechanism Beast created by the Tang Clan in collaboration with Li Che?

Ji Mo Li could see at a glance that the concept of the Mechanism Beast was developed and expanded by the Tang Clan, and this Mechanism Beast contained their style within it.

The Netherworld Hellhound Li Che, a weakling who wasn't even a Half-Step Martial Deity, relied on this Mechanism Beast to fight against Ji Mo Li, a Divine Tribulation cultivator.

To be honest, Ji Mo Li was even a bit shocked and fearful in his heart.

If he hadn't broken through to the Divine Tribulation realm...

In this battle, he might have been crushed and suppressed.

As Ji Mo Li thought of this possibility, his expression darkened: "Indeed, it's better to break through cultivation earlier. It's not in vain that I drained all the blood souls in the Blood Pool..."

The Death Aura Vortex swirled.

Ji Mo Li, going all out, didn't seem to be affected by the will of heaven and earth.

Li Che's eyebrows rose slightly: "The Death Aura Vortex created by the Corpse God Sect is like a small Profound Realm?"

The Corpse God Sect's methods were indeed very bizarre.

Ji Mo Li's face darkened, and the veins on his forehead pulsed. He gripped the Umbrella Spear, pointed it fiercely, and the air exploded as if a gorge had been torn open!

The Death Aura Vortex could help him block the will of heaven and earth, allowing him to unleash the full power of the Divine Tribulation realm, but there was a problem—it couldn't last long.

Therefore, Ji Mo Li had to fight quickly.

Boom!!!

Li Che's mind moved, and the Divine Machinery Ape smashed out another punch, colliding with Ji Mo Li's attack.

Li Che's lips curled slightly.

Holding Xi Xi, he looked at the Pacifying King: "Ji Mo Li..."

"You must have exhausted the power of the Blood Pool to break through to the Divine Tribulation. That's why you're so eager to slaughter a city, extract blood souls, and ensure the creation of your clones."

"But the slaughter isn't complete, and the blood souls haven't been extracted yet..."

"In other words..."

"You only have one life now, even if your son isn't dead yet. They probably can't use their lives to revive him."

Li Che's words echoed in the wind.

Ji Mo Li's body hair stood on end.

For some reason...

He was terrified by the words of Li Che, a weakling who wasn't even at the Divine Tribulation realm.

But soon, this fear disappeared, and Ji Mo Li scoffed: "You think you can do it?"

"Or... with the help of the Netherworld?"

Ji Mo Li held the Umbrella Spear at a slant, and the black armor clanged as he walked in the void, his aura rising with each step.

"The Netherworld is indeed powerful... But now that I've broken through to the Divine Tribulation, it'll be difficult for the Netherworld to kill me, right?"

Ji Mo Li laughed.

There was a sense of recklessness and arrogance.

The Netherworld, a force he hadn't paid much attention to before, had unknowingly become a nightmare for him.

During the attack on the Divine Origin Dao City, he had almost been killed by the cunning Netherworld.

If he hadn't exchanged his life, he might have truly died at the hands of the Netherworld.

Li Che held Xi Xi, who nervously clung to his neck.

The pressure of the Divine Tribulation realm made the little girl struggle to breathe and move.

She worried that Li Che was also bearing this pressure, so she hugged her father to share the burden.

But Xi Xi discovered that her father seemed unusually calm facing a Divine Tribulation cultivator.

He seemed overly composed.

Although he had a Divine Realm Mechanism Beast, which seemed powerful...

After all, a Mechanism Beast was still just a Mechanism Beast... Although it had the power to fight a Divine Tribulation cultivator, its flexibility was lacking.

If Ji Mo Li bypassed the Mechanism Beast and directly targeted her father, wouldn't that be dangerous?

What Xi Xi didn't know was that Li Che was indeed very calm.

After all, he was completely different now from before. With the generous support from the court, Li Che had prepared ample resources for the journey to Heaven City.

So, even though Ji Mo Li had broken through to the Divine Tribulation, Li Che wasn't overly concerned, and his eyes shone with determination.

This was a truly rare opportunity to kill Ji Mo Li!

With the Blood Pool dried up and the Heavenly Clone Technique unable to revive him, Ji Mo Li had only one life left! Therefore, Li Che's killing intent was more intense than ever before.

Today, he would kill Ji Mo Li, no matter what!

Boom!!!

Golden light flashed in Li Che's eyes.

The Divine Machinery Ape roared, and the countless mechanism seals seemed to overload, clanging incessantly. The friction between them created an unprecedentedly piercing and sharp sound.

The terrifying force seemed to treat space like a carpet, flinging it about. Ji Mo Li swept his Umbrella Spear, and divine essence burst forth from it. In an instant, it was as if a Temple God's will had revived within the spear, and a Buddha's light erupted from it.

The Temple God's Will!

Boom!

The Divine Machinery Ape was abruptly smashed, his hundred-foot-tall body recoiling and retreating, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to tremble. The entire Luo Yun City swayed, and countless buildings collapsed.

Ji Maoli's eyes, burning with Netherflame, glanced past the Divine Machinery Ape and landed on Li Che.

The Mechanical Beast was no cause for concern; given enough time, he would undoubtedly dismantle this Mechanical Beast.

But Ji Maoli's target was Li Che and his daughter. He wanted to kill them!

No—

Specifically, Ji Maoli wanted to kill Li Che, and for Li Nuanxi, this unparalleled monster, he intended to use his bloodline to cleanse her physical body, transforming Li Nuanxi into his regenerative doppelganger!

Ji Maoli stomped, causing the air to explode.

In midair, he pulled out countless afterimages, dense and numerous, and with a flick of his Umbrella Spear, Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue the Divine!

Instantly, dense dragon shadows surged towards Li Che and his daughter!

Li Che raised his hand and pointed at his forehead, at the inner scene of the Niwan Palace.

The Heavenly Chessboard suddenly spun and revealed itself.

Then, Ink City and the Capital of the Netherworld appeared on the Heavenly Chessboard...

Ji Maoli, enveloped in a vortex of death, approached Li Che, sensing the emergence of Ink City and the Capital of the Netherworld!

"The Capital of the Netherworld in Ink City!"

Ji Maoli's eyes revealed a fierce look.

He deeply resented the Netherworld.

Just as Li Che thought it was the perfect opportunity to kill Ji Maoli, Ji Maoli also believed it was an excellent chance to annihilate the Netherworld!

It was as if two kindred spirits had simultaneously realized a mutual understanding and rushed towards each other!

Li Che vaguely sensed Ji Maoli's intense emotions.

He was curious...

How did Ji Maoli plan to annihilate the Netherworld?

Didn't he know about the news of the Netherworld Emperor?

Boom!!!

The gates of the Capital of the Netherworld swung open.

Ji Maoli glanced at the profound Capital of the Netherworld.

Behind him, the vortex of death swirled more and more terrifying...

The next moment, Ji Maoli let out a long howl, filled with intense killing intent, and transformed into a meteor, rushing towards the Capital of the Netherworld.

His entire being was brimming with audacity and unparalleled dominance as he crashed into the city.

Even Li Che, standing on the city tower, fell into a moment of silence.

Ji Maoli...

Was he seeking death?

Or... did Ji Maoli have some secret trump card, allowing him to gather this courage to charge into the tiger's den?

Under the horse-faced mask, Li Che's eyes shone with a mysterious light, and he suddenly laughed.

"Then let me see what you've got..."

...

...

Boom!

The terrifying roar echoed in the pitch-black sky above Ink City!

Dark clouds piled up, and electric snakes slithered through them. Perhaps it was the arrival of an opposing divine tribulation that made Ink City suddenly become extremely irritable and angry.

Countless ink-colored raindrops fell, as if tearing open a huge gap in the dark clouds, causing the rain to pour down like beads on a broken string.

Patter, patter, patter, patter—

All the buildings in Ink City were battered by the rain, and a thick, black mist rose!

The Netherworld!

The Capital of the Netherworld in Ink City!

The terrifying heavenly pressure was like a heavenly embankment broken by a terrifying force, unleashing a torrent of rain without restraint.

Countless waves of energy and gusts of wind twisted and turned, distorting the ink-colored rain.

Ji Maoli's black armor clanged, and he hovered in the sky above Ink City, holding the Umbrella Spear diagonally. Behind him, the vortex of death expanded, covering an area of about five zhang.

"This is within the Capital of the Netherworld..."

Ji Maoli's eyes turned cold as he scanned the area, his gaze falling on the Netherworld Hellhound on the city tower.

It was Li Che.

But Ji Maoli didn't stop there; he continued to scan.

There were other malefactors in the Netherworld...

Ji Maoli was looking for...

The Divine Monkey!

Ji Maoli took a risk, entering the Capital of the Netherworld, with a primary goal in mind—the Divine Monkey's Willful Golden Iron Staff.

The Grand Supervisor and the Imperial Preceptor had both said that Ji Maoli wasn't qualified to wield the Willful Golden Iron Staff, shaking the entire world.

Ji Maoli didn't believe it!

Suddenly, he saw a tall figure on the city tower, standing next to Li Che. The figure wore a mask divided into black and white, with his arms crossed, standing tall on the city tower, as if standing between heaven and earth.

It was the King of the Netherworld!

Long time no see... King of the Netherworld.

Ji Maoli would never forget how his doppelganger was slashed to pieces by the King of the Netherworld, and his Divine Embryo was also destroyed."

Even though it was a doppelganger, it was almost like his true self.

He would never forget the pain and humiliation of that moment.

Boom!

Ji Maoli sensed that within the Capital of the Netherworld, there was a small isolated realm, shielded from the perception and probing of the Heavenly Will.

As a Divine Tribulation cultivator, he could freely unleash his power within this realm.

So, Ji Maoli burst out from the swirling vortex of death, slicing through the sky above Ink City, and charged towards the King of the Netherworld!

Ji Maoli's eyes blazed with Netherflame, and he let out a long howl, his aura incredibly fierce and vast.

His Umbrella Spear unleashed the power of the Temple God, and as he slashed through the air, the ground beneath Ink City seemed to crack.

With the Three Calamities Dao Position, Ji Maoli's combat prowess was indeed extraordinary!

"Ji Maoli."

A deep, hoarse voice echoed from the King of the Netherworld's mouth.

Ji Maoli unleashed his ultimate move, his eyes narrowing.

But then, from beneath the King of the Netherworld's black and white mask, a booming sound erupted.

"You..."

"Is this..."

Boom!

On the walls of the Netherworld, the King of the Netherworld took a mighty step forward, and beneath his mask, his eyes blazed with an intense light!

It was as if two light bulbs with a million watts had exploded, releasing an endless radiant glow!

With a single step, the void seemed to shatter under the weight, and boiling blood surged.

Golden blood, like a golden pillar, shot towards the sky.

Li Che clenched his fist and pushed it forward, and countless streams of blood gathered and wove themselves into an Auspicious Golden Deer!

The blood vessels in his translucent body expanded, and the Eight Strange Gates opened!

The Golden Deer Sealing Seal!

Boom!

The terrifying fist intent was like a boiling martial will, transforming into a waterfall flowing upstream, causing all the falling ink-colored raindrops to hang upside down in the sky!

It was as if time and space were flowing in reverse!

A bright golden figure roared, its might shaking the heavens, and the Auspicious Golden Deer suppressed Ji Maoli's Ten Thousand Dragons Subdue the Divine!

Boom!

In the moment of collision, ripples spread, and a giant fissure tore open, sprawling across the ground of the Capital of the Netherworld, terrifying and dense.

It was like the end of the world!

After the collision, Ji Maoli spat out blood, and his entire body was like a cannonball, shooting out and slamming into the ground with a loud boom.

In the heart of Mo City, a massive pit was gouged out by the Underworld King, deep enough to make his chest cave in, his eyes widening with shock and disbelief.

How could this be...

So strong?!

Is this the King of the Netherworld?

He... has become even stronger!!!

At this moment, Ji Maoli believed he was at his peak, having broken through the Divine Tribulation and now unleashing his power unrestrained within the small Profound Realm.

Moreover, he had attained insight into the Nether Flame, one of the Three Calamities, and had reached the Divine Tribulation stage!

Ji Maoli felt that even a First Calamity Second Tribulation cultivator would be a match for him at this moment. Yet, with just one kick from the King of the Netherworld, he was nearly killed!

Sizzle!

Scorching heat radiated from the pit, spreading throughout Mo City.

The King of the Netherworld stood tall, his mask divided into black and white halves, and his eyes seemed to flow with golden light.

"Is this all you've got?"

"Show me your hidden trump card... But by rushing foolishly into my Netherworld base, you've made me realize that my once formidable opponent is nothing but a dumb pig."

His hoarse voice echoed slowly from his mouth.

Buzz!

However, as soon as he finished speaking...

The King of the Netherworld's figure vanished, moving mysteriously as if teleporting through time and space.

This was the Flying Thunder Teleportation of the Heaven and Earth Chessboard!

Placing a chess piece meant teleportation.

The King of the Netherworld appeared before Ji Maoli, who was lying in the pit, and punched with a golden flame of blood and energy, slamming down!

Ji Maoli's hair stood on end, and he held his umbrella spear in front of him.

Boom!!!

A muffled explosion sounded, and Ji Maoli's legs were planted firmly in the ground, creating a deep trench in the earth of Mo City and the Capital of the Netherworld.

Holding the spear with trembling hands, Ji Maoli was shocked...

He was being...

Pushed around by the King of the Netherworld?!

It wasn't the mysterious Divine Tribulation expert, the Nether Emperor, but the King of the Netherworld himself!

Ji Maoli let out a long howl, his black hair dancing wildly, his eyes cold and direct, filled with anger. His blood seemed to boil, and it felt as if countless blood souls were wailing and roaring within him!

His aura surged, rising to a whole new level!

Once again, he faced the King of the Netherworld's fist.

However, as the punch was thrown, a purple flame suddenly danced and flickered on it.

A suppressed power made Ji Maoli's Nether Flame tremble, and the force of calamity erupted!

"You—!!!"

Ji Maoli's aura, not yet stabilized, hadn't had a chance to counterattack.

Before he knew it, he was knocked away again. Even the Nether Flame on his body was completely suppressed by the purple flame!

As soon as Ji Maoli managed to stabilize his body, a chill suddenly burst from behind him!

A large, pale white flame, cold and eerie, shot towards his head!

Divine Tribulation!

Undoubtedly, it was the Divine Tribulation!

This force of calamity!

The White Nether Flame, Zhao Beidou!

Boom!

Zhao Beidou's palm strike was so swift and silent, it seemed like a teleportation, delivering a lethal blow.

Ji Maoli was struck on the shoulder, and his black armor exploded!

His entire body, like a broken kite, slammed into the ground of Mo City, sliding hundreds of feet before crashing into the city wall, causing it to shatter...

Ji Maoli felt like he had become a plaything after entering Mo City and the Capital of the Netherworld...

Just like... a toy!

Amidst the ruins and billowing smoke, Ji Maoli staggered out, and suddenly, an enormous dragon claw appeared, exerting immense pressure on him.

A First Calamity Second Tribulation expert?!

Ji Maoli's eyes narrowed.

Letting out another howl, his Nether Flame surged, and the Calamity Wheel on his back appeared with a crack, revealing cracks!

The fresh Calamity Wheel, having just emerged, was struck with cracks!

After unleashing the power within the Calamity Wheel, Ji Maoli faced the dragon claw, finally managing to block it.

However, his entire body was still slapped away, and he was tossed around like a ball, flying hundreds of feet, from one end of Mo City to the other...

Ji Maoli's armor was shattered, and his muscles were torn.

He coughed up blood.

"Haha..."

"Netherworld, you want to see my confidence, don't you?"

"Wait, my king... I'm going to kill every one of you!"

Ji Maoli gripped his umbrella spear and stood up.

Crush...

He was completely crushed by the Netherworld.

A Divine Tribulation expert in the hands of the Netherworld, treated like a plaything, toyed with, unable to even muster the strength to resist...

Cough, cough, cough...

Ji Maoli coughed up blood, his gaze turning towards the floating King of the Netherworld, Zhao Beidou, and the terrifying nine-headed winged beast behind him!

So strong...

The Netherworld had so many Divine Tribulation experts!

Even a First Calamity Second Tribulation beast!

This Netherworld...

Was too terrifying!

Ji Maoli's hair stood on end, and he realized... he had underestimated the Netherworld.

Fortunately...

The communication was successful!

He spread his five fingers towards the direction of the death cyclone that hadn't dissipated.

Slowly...

From within the death cyclone, a terrifying, demonic roar echoed!

Six distorted figures emerged from the death cyclone, one after the other!

"Six Great Corpse Gods... Come! Descend! Destroy! Slaughter!"

"Tear the Netherworld to shreds!"

Ji Maoli's face was wild with excitement as he spread his arms.

However...

His roar abruptly stopped.

Because, in his ear, an annoyed voice echoed.

"My lord is waiting for you to show your trump card..."

"So, are you done shouting?"

"After you're done, get moving. Don't interrupt my poison research."

The voice faded.

Then...

Ji Maoli discovered a sharp dagger piercing through his back, out of his chest, the tip protruding.

The dagger tip...

Was as black as ink, clearly imbued with poison!
