Chapter 513: The Emergence of the Netherworld, Meng's Conflict Breaks
Upon hearing Tian Sha's words, the various Realm Masters fell silent. Despite the impending crisis, the idea of supporting Tian Sha as the new ruler of the universe, having him tower over them, was difficult to accept.
"Tian Sha, what assurance can you give that you are capable of wielding the authority of the universe?" a Realm Master asked, his voice heavy with skepticism.
"I, Tian Sha, am not only the top expert of the third generation of the Tai Cang Universe, but I also participated in the Great Universe War. Naturally, I have gained some opportunities," Tian Sha replied, his aura surging as he spoke, showcasing his formidable strength.
He turned his gaze to Jiang Feng, "You, Jiang Feng, do you acknowledge that I, Tian Sha, am the foremost expert of the third generation?"
Jiang Feng's eyes narrowed, his aura concealed as he remained silent, seemingly acknowledging Tian Sha's claim.
"Today, I, Tian Sha, will be straightforward," he continued. "I will contend for the authority of the universe, and I will definitely obtain no less than sixty percent of it. Whoever dares to challenge me is welcome to try. It will all depend on our respective abilities!"
Tian Sha's gaze swept across the Realm Masters, his intentions clear.
"Then so be it," one of the Realm Masters replied with a dry laugh.
None of them were willing to back down, and in the end, it would indeed come down to a contest of strength.
"Something's not right. Be cautious," Jiang Feng suddenly said, his expression changing.
Everyone turned their attention to the direction of the Netherworld Universe, as five powerful auras were swiftly approaching, like surging blood waves, their momentum startling.
...
The Netherworld Universe was even more dilapidated than the Witch-Demon Universe, and it was also the weakest among the three remaining universes.
Five Blood Masters had survived the Great War in the Netherworld Universe, all of whom had been small universe masters who had followed the master of the Netherworld Universe.
Recently, the Netherworld Universe had been a bit unstable. The Blood Sea of the Netherworld had been churning, and the dao patterns would occasionally fluctuate.
Left with no choice, the five Blood Masters had to retract the dao patterns that had spread into the Tai Cang Universe, temporarily halting the entry of Netherworld warriors into the Tian Ku of the Tai Cang Universe.
"What's going on?" the Blood Master of the Netherworld asked, his brows furrowed as he stood atop the blood sea.
"Perhaps it has something to do with the impending great depletion of the universe's dao patterns," the Blood Master of the Prison speculated with a sigh.
"The Tai Cang Universe is too domineering. Let's contact the Witch-Demon Universe again and join forces to strike at the Tai Cang Universe, forcing them to give up some territory to us!" Blood Mad suggested angrily.
The remaining Blood Masters of the Netherworld Universe were led by the Blood Master of the Netherworld and the Blood Master of the Prison, whose names originated from the Netherworld itself. They had both been trusted subordinates of the Netherworld!
Suddenly, the expressions of all the Blood Masters changed, and they looked up toward the exterior of the Netherworld Universe.
A figure was approaching, his face concealed by a mask. A blood-colored cape billowed behind him like a blood tide, and on his black robe was embroidered a pattern of a gray palace.
Step by step, he walked towards the Netherworld Universe, the cape behind him stirring up blood-colored waves that seemed intent on engulfing the universe. A formidable aura emanated from him.
A Universe Master!
The Blood Masters of the Netherworld and the Prison were stunned, and they quickly retreated into the blood sea, their voices carrying a sense of urgency, "Quick, work together to activate the dao patterns of the Netherworld Universe!"
The other Blood Masters scattered throughout the Netherworld Universe, and with a rumbling sound, the dao patterns of the Netherworld Universe emerged, aiming to repel the intruder.
The approaching figure slowly drew closer to the Netherworld Universe and spoke, "Don't bother resisting. Surrender!"
"Even if you are a Universe Master, breaking into our universe is not an easy task. Surrendering means death. We might as well fight and perhaps have a chance to survive. If you think you can trick us into surrendering without putting in any effort and occupying our universe, you're delusional!" The Blood Master of the Netherworld replied coldly.
"There's no need to be stubborn. As long as you surrender, I, Blood Prison, guarantee your lives will be spared!"
"If you want to fight, then fight. No need for idle chatter!" The Blood Master of the Prison stated resolutely.
Blood Prison remained silent for a moment before slowly raising his hand. With a rumbling sound, a blood-colored giant palm extended from the unformed land outside and slammed towards the Netherworld Universe.
Boom!
As the Netherworld Universe trembled, its dao patterns surfaced, forming a powerful defense to withstand the attack.
"The Netherworld Universe has already deteriorated to such an extent. There's no point in its continued existence!" Blood Prison sighed.
Rumbling!
To the shock of the Blood Masters, the dao patterns of the Netherworld Universe rippled and failed to withstand the attack.
Bang!
A corner of the universe shattered, and countless lives within the Netherworld Universe perished instantly.
"How is this possible!"
The Blood Masters were stunned. Why had the dao patterns of the Netherworld Universe failed to hold?
Boom!
Blood Prison unleashed another palm strike, his figure stepping closer to the Netherworld Universe.
The universe continued to crumble.
The Blood Masters roared in anger, unleashing their full power and working together to activate the dao patterns, launching a fierce counterattack.
Step by step, Blood Prison walked towards the universe, entering the Netherworld Universe. No matter how the five Blood Masters manipulated the Dao patterns or unleashed their attacks, they couldn't stop his advance.
"Your Honor, is that you? Are you going to destroy the Netherworld?"
Suddenly, Blood Nether and Blood Jailer bitterly smiled and stopped their attacks. The other three Blood Masters also fell silent.
The only one besides the creator of the Netherworld Universe, Netherworld, who could calm the Dao patterns of the Netherworld Universe and be unaffected by its attacks was Netherworld himself!
"Netherworld is dead. Only the Blood Prison, the protector of the Unchanging Temple, remains!" Blood Prison's steps paused as he spoke in a cold tone.
"Your Honor, have you betrayed us and sided with the Unchanging Temple?" Blood Nether and Blood Jailer struggled to accept this turn of events. The Netherworld they knew was proud and unyielding.
No one expected him to submit to the Unchanging Temple.
"There's no talk of betrayal here. It's simply a matter of mutual benefit. I'm giving you a chance to return to my side," Blood Prison said, his gaze fixed on Blood Nether and Blood Jailer.
The two Blood Masters fell silent, their eyes shifting to the Netherworld Universe above. They felt anxious as they thought of the Netherworld warriors, their followers, wailing in despair.
"What about them? Your Honor, you created the Netherworld Universe. All the beings in this universe exist because of you. How could you..." Blood Nether trailed off, unable to continue.
Blood Prison replied coldly, "Since I created this universe and all life within it exists because of me, their lives and deaths are also in my hands. Out of respect for our past relationship, I will give you twelve spots. You can choose your followers."
Blood Nether wanted to say something more, but Blood Prison cut him off. "Netherworld is dead, and so the Netherworld Universe should not exist. I am now the protector of the Unchanging Temple's Blood Prison. Is that clear?"
The five Blood Masters fell silent, their inner turmoil evident. They knew that resistance would only lead to pointless death.
"We are willing to follow Your Honor!"
In the end, all five Blood Masters lowered their heads. This universe had been created by Netherworld, and if he had given up on it, what was the point of their continued resistance?
"Very good. Go and test your strength against the Witch-Demon Universe and the Tai Cang Universe. As for me, I shall devour this universe," Blood Prison said, his tone softening.
"Yes, Your Honor!"
The five Blood Masters chose their most trusted followers to continue serving them, while the rest perished along with the universe.
Boom!
Blood energy surged around Blood Prison, transforming into a river of blood that resonated with the Dao patterns of the universe. The shattered universe blossomed with bloody light, as if on the verge of explosion.
Streams of Dao pattern energy converged and flowed into Blood Prison's body. All the beings within the universe wailed as they were transformed into rivers of blood.
The masked Blood Prison's face was hidden, but his eyes slowly closed. This universe had once been his, and now he was the one destroying it.
Absorbing everything the universe had to offer, strengthening and empowering himself—this was the path to power that he had rediscovered, a path taught to him by the Unchanging Temple.
To devour the universe he had created and transform it into his own power, reclaiming the strength that had once been scattered and returning it to himself.
This process would take time and could not be accomplished in a day or two.
Outside the Tai Cang Universe, Tian Sha, Mei Wu, and the others watched as the five Blood Masters faced off against each other, their auras intertwining above the Unchanging Land.
By now, both the Tai Cang Universe and the Witch-Demon Universe had realized that the Universe Master devouring the Netherworld Universe was none other than Netherworld himself!
Who could have imagined that the proud and defiant Netherworld would submit to the Unchanging Temple?
Netherworld had always been known for his unyielding and stubborn nature, a man who would rather die than bow his head. Everyone acknowledged that he was the kind of person who would choose death over surrender.
Even when he was wrong, as he had been during his conflict with Tai Cang, he had stubbornly refused to admit his mistake.
And yet, this very same man had surrendered to the Unchanging Temple. What was even more puzzling was why the Unchanging Temple would accept Netherworld?
This seemed to contradict everything they knew about the Unchanging Temple.
Moreover, when had Netherworld surrendered? Was it after his defeat, at the beginning of the great war, or even before it had started?
What exactly had happened during the battle between the Universe Masters?
How could Tai Cang, such a powerful existence, have fallen?
This was something that no Small Universe Master could accept. In that moment, their beliefs had crumbled, and many Small Universe Masters had been struck with despair, only to be taken advantage of and killed by the experts of the Unchanging Temple.
From the very start of the great war, Tai Cang had displayed an overwhelmingly powerful and invincible aura, slaying a Universe Master-level expert from the Unchanging Temple with his first move.
In the Divine Realm, the supreme beings of Shen Yu each had their tasks, but not one of them dared to set foot in Qinghua Realm.
In the Jiushan Realm, the power of the demon race was growing stronger. Chi Mao, the mighty demon king, was becoming increasingly influential, and the reputation of the demon race was firmly established.
Time flew by.
Ao Yuxue finally discovered that she could cultivate her Great Demon Art, and her strength was steadily increasing. Her True Dragon Divine Ability was also about to be cultivated, filling her with delight.
Her relationship with Cailing was excellent; every time she saw Cailing, she affectionately addressed her as "sister."
Wu Tiannan had reached the Great Perfection of the Unity of Heaven and Man and comprehended the laws of heaven and earth. He had begun to fathom the Dao Laws of Heaven and was aided by the heavenly fortune within his being.
Xiao Laotou was meditating on the Heavenly Dao Qi, feeling that he had gained a lot and was one step closer to finding a way forward.
Boom!
One day, the divine bridge connecting the Spirit Realm and the Divine Realm was slowly opened, and the barrier between the two realms began to weaken and disappear.
The Spirit Realm's azure sea was vast and vibrant, its spiritual energy no longer inferior to that of the Divine Realm.
The Heavenly Dao started to spread towards the Divine Realm, and Tian Zi accelerated its operation, aiming to encompass the entire universe as soon as possible.
On this day, Meng Chong broke through.
"Your disciple, Meng Chong, has broken through to the third level of the Great Sun Star Unbreakable Body, and you have achieved minor success in the Boundless Unbreakable Body of Haotian."
Feedback from the Great Dao Golden Book arrived.
"Another power boost!"
Li Xuan was overjoyed, and his physical martial arts had also achieved minor success in the Establishment of the Dao Realm.
Upon reaching the Establishment of the Dao Realm, even a minor breakthrough in realm would result in a significant increase in strength. With two martial arts breaking through to the minor success of the Establishment of the Dao Realm, Li Xuan's confidence soared.
In the cultivation room, Meng Chong's body was surrounded by the Great Sun and stars, each pore resembling a star, densely covering his body as the Great Sun revolved.
"So this is the Establishment of the Dao Realm for physical martial arts!"
Meng Chong opened his eyes, feeling the power of his physical body, even sensing that his body had become one with the heavens and the earth.
"With my current strength, I can easily punch and explode a Divine Honored Realm warrior!"
Meng Chong continued to cultivate, consolidating his foundation while improving his divine abilities and cultivating new ones. At the same time, he sorted out his martial arts in preparation for the Boundless Unbreakable Body of Haotian.
Haotian Wuji is at the Establishment of the Dao Realm, establishing the Dao of the physical body.
"I should also go to the Dao Realm to gain some experience. Now, in the Divine Realm, there should be no force or powerful being daring enough to provoke me."
Meng Chong pondered.
With his increased strength, it was time to venture into the Dao Realm.
