Chapter 590: The Nüwa Empress Communicates with the Netherworld, Suppressing the Four Immortals, and Yulian's Burial Pool—A Gift Left by His Wife [Seeking Monthly Votes]

A vast surge of demonic energy spread out, the Immortal Demon Emperor’s purple hair fluttering wildly as his eyes instantly blazed with endless crimson!

The overwhelming aura of power, like a tidal wave, pressed down from all directions.

“A mere mortal! How dare you mate with her and bear a daughter?!”

At this moment, the Immortal Demon Emperor was consumed by rage. His demonic energy and furious voice seemed to pierce the souls of all present.

The void fell silent.

Only the Immortal Demon Emperor’s furious voice echoed.

The fury of an immortal could intimidate anyone, and figures like the Old Lord Immortal and the Immortal God Emperor looked at the Immortal Demon Emperor with a hint of sympathy.

The Nüwa Empress actually had a reincarnated form…

And this reincarnated form had mated with a mortal, giving birth to Yulian's Daughter!

Indeed, how could Yulian's Daughter be an ordinary person?

An ordinary mortal would have no foundation or capital to gain the favor of Heaven and Earth's Will, becoming the executioner who wields the scythe of fate!

The purple demonic energy surged, turning the entire transmission space channel into a sea of purple!

The demonic energy was so overwhelming that it seemed to influence the void, transforming the entire space channel into his domain!

However, the Immortal God Emperor and other powerful figures paid little attention.

They understood the Immortal Demon Emperor’s fury.

The Nüwa Empress held an extremely revered status in the Mystic Cavern, almost representing the mother of all demons!

Many demons are born bathed in the divinity of the Nüwa Empress, holding a deep reverence for her.

And the Immortal Demon Emperor was different!

It was a deep, heartfelt admiration. He had been striving to cultivate, aiming to become the third emperor of the Mystic Cavern, the true emperor standing beside the Nüwa Empress.

Only then would he have the qualification to truly unite with the Demon Empress!

But now…

The cruel and bloody reality told the Immortal Demon Emperor that the reincarnated form, carrying the hidden will of the Nüwa Empress, had married and borne a child with a mortal man!

Even if the child was Yulian's Daughter, what did it matter?

The Immortal Demon Emperor let out a long, mournful roar, the space around him cracking and shattering. His intense fury made it impossible for him to control himself.

A massive purple serpent stretched across the void, as if ready to devour the heavens and earth!

At this moment, the Immortal Demon Emperor felt his hair was not purple but green!

Why had he worked so hard, life after life, for thousands of years?

The Immortal Demon Emperor’s eyes turned cold and cruel, and his murderous intent surged.

“I will have that mortal die, and Yulian's Daughter die!”

“Only their deaths can turn all of this into a mere illusion!”

The Immortal Demon Emperor declared.

A phantom serpent tail stretched across the void, while the Nüwa Empress, or Zhang Ya, her black hair flying, her figure clad in a qipao embroidered with golden lotus flowers, swayed gracefully.

Her eyes showed no emotion, cold and merciless.

Li Che had never seen such an expression on Zhang Ya before, but there was no denying that at this moment, Zhang Ya exuded the overwhelming presence of a true empress.

“Three of you, go and suppress Qitian, and capture Yulian's Daughter.”

“I will hold back the Nüwa Empress!”

The Immortal Demon Emperor’s massive purple serpent stretched across the void, the space groaning under the strain, as if about to shatter.

The purple serpent’s shadow coiled and thrashed!

With a single step, it seemed like a divine spear piercing through everything, hurtling toward the Nüwa Empress.

The Nüwa Empress’s eyes were deep and serene, and her pale, jade-like hand lifted gently.

She slapped forward.

Behind her, a black hole began to spin rapidly.

The sound of cracking echoed endlessly, and the powerful and resilient transmission space channel became incredibly fragile at that moment.

“Nüwa Empress! What are you doing?”

The Immortal Demon Emperor rushed forward, his fingers piercing through, and a long spear appeared, sweeping out with a terrifying light, like a cosmic aurora, tearing through the void.

But with a push from the Nüwa Empress’s hand, the spear light exploded, unable to advance any further.

The black hole behind the Nüwa Empress swept down, like a devouring darkness, swallowing all the spear light!

The Nüwa Empress walked gracefully, demonic energy surging, the aura of immortality shaking the void, rising like a tidal wave.

The demonic energy of the Immortal Demon Emperor was suppressed at this moment.

With a wave of her hand, the Nüwa Empress seemed to tear apart the vast expanse of purple demonic energy, making the massive purple serpent struggle in the void!

The purple demonic energy boiled and exploded, and the Immortal Demon Emperor’s expression changed repeatedly.

Just a reincarnated form, yet it had recovered to such a powerful state.

This was not a simple reincarnated form!

It was nearly identical to the Nüwa Empress’s true form!

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Immortal Demon Emperor trembled, as if the voices of countless demons roared through the sky. As the ruler of the Mystic Cavern, he was below the second emperor in rank!

However, in terms of status, he was the true leader of the demons in the Mystic Cavern!

Every move he made carried the will of the ten thousand demons of the Mystic Cavern!

Even now, as he confronted the Nüwa Empress, the will of the ten thousand demons still supported him, amplifying his power and aura!

He knew the Nüwa Empress had revealed her reincarnated form to rescue Yulian's Daughter.

But the Nüwa Empress had hurt his heart, choosing to stand with the Yulian faction as an emperor of the Mystic Cavern.

He didn’t care about the Nüwa Empress’s plans!

Becoming the mother of Yulian's Daughter was a degrading act that made the Immortal Demon Emperor furious.

He would make the Nüwa Empress’s plans fail!

He would have Yulian's Daughter suppressed and captured this time, foiling the Nüwa Empress’s rescue plan!

Boom!

As the Immortal Demon Emperor struck.

The Immortal God Emperor, the Immortal Jin Chan, and the Old Lord Immortal, three supreme immortals, their eyes turned and focused on the heaven and earth chessboard.

The entire chessboard trembled slightly.

Qitian’s armor glowed with an intense light, and he felt his body tighten, even though the Qitian Armor had fused with five ancient cosmic runes.

But the materials used to forge the Qitian Armor had reached their limit, unable to maintain their integrity and were about to shatter.

Thus, facing the three supreme immortals again, the Qitian Armor could not withstand the pressure.

Qitian’s will prepared to burn, to bring the Qitian Armor to its peak state!

Li Che’s gaze was intense, fixed on the distant battlefield.

There, his wife Zhang Ya was battling the Immortal Demon Emperor.

Zhang Ya… was actually the Nüwa Empress!

Li Che’s heart raced, and he rubbed Xi Xi’s head, feeling shocked but also finding it reasonable.

Yulian's Daughter’s background was special, and Li Che didn’t believe that a girl from an ordinary family could develop into Yulian's Daughter.

There must have been someone pushing her…

But why Xi Xi?

Everything seemed to follow a pattern, as if guided by the will of Heaven and Earth.

Now, Li Che had found the explanation.

“Daddy…”

“Can Mother win?”

“Four supreme immortals, such a formidable lineup… even if Mother is the reincarnation of the Nüwa Empress, can she hold them off?”

Xi Xi bit her lip, unable to hold back her words.

Indeed…

Could she hold them off?

Li Che’s gaze was intense, his blood boiling, wishing he could rush out and fight alongside his wife.

But Li Che, ultimately, was of mortal birth.

The gap between him and these immortals was insurmountable, even with the bond he shared with his daughter and the many blessings he had received.

Li Che suddenly wondered if the bond between him and Xi Xi had anything to do with the Nüwa Empress.

But it was probably not the case…

Li Che thought back to the time he entered the vast Dao Tree world, where he had grown almost alongside the Dao Tree.

The Dao Tree and he had both started small and grown together.

But the Nüwa Empress, starting from such a high position, wouldn’t need to cultivate from the beginning.

“Huh?!”

Suddenly,

Qitian’s will resounded within the Qitian Armor.

“Good kid… looks like I don’t have to go all out this time!”

Qitian’s will spoke.

Li Che was startled.

He looked up, his third eye opening, and the Star Plucking Pupil burst into brilliant light.

He saw, within the space channel,

The Immortal Demon Emperor, who was furiously trying to block the Nüwa Empress, being suppressed!

The Nüwa Empress, in Zhang Ya’s form, her black hair flying, the void behind her crumbling.

Her pale fingers, like a blade, slashed out, and the crumbling void erupted with boundless death energy!

Death energy!

Boom!

The black hole behind the Nüwa Empress descended, the death energy spreading out.

The Immortal Demon Emperor was shocked, feeling the black hole grow immensely, enveloping his form!

“What is this…?”

“Netherworld power?!”

The Immortal Demon Emperor let out a long roar, transforming into his true form, a massive purple serpent towering a million feet tall, struggling fiercely!

But the death energy fell like chains, binding the immense body of this immortal!

The Immortal God Emperor, riding a golden chariot, clad in golden armor, and wielding a golden greatsword, frowned.

“Nüwa Empress! You’ve gone mad!”

“To dare ally with the Netherworld and use its power!”

“You’ve violated the taboo of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!”

“You must be punished!”

The Immortal God Emperor’s voice was immensely authoritative, his golden divine sword raised, and everything around him seemed to collapse.

A terrifying sword light, like a force to split the heavens and earth, surged forth!

But the Nüwa Empress, in Zhang Ya’s form, glanced over and slapped her hand, and the void above the Immortal God Emperor shattered, revealing a massive black hole!

Death energy fell, and the chains clanged, suppressing the terrifying immortal aura that erupted from his body!

The Immortal God Emperor’s expression changed.

“This is… the will of the Netherworld?!”

The Nüwa Empress’s long legs stepped through the void, trailing a serpentine tail that stretched for miles.

Her gaze swept over the Old Lord Immortal.

The Old Lord Immortal felt a wave of dread, and he hurled his Vajra Cudgel, which broke through the air and expanded, creating a vacuum around him.

At the same time, he cast the Heaven-Sealing Flail, which transformed into countless steel needles piercing the void, trying to claim dominion over the entire space.

But…

The Nüwa Empress, in Zhang Ya’s form, her black hair flying, slapped out again.

The void above the Old Lord Immortal collapsed, and another massive black hole appeared, just like what happened to the Immortal Demon Emperor and the Immortal God Emperor.

The Old Lord Immortal was also bound and enveloped by the black hole’s chains!

A will that did not belong to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths surged from the black hole.

It was the power of the Netherworld will!

The Old Lord Immortal’s face twitched, and the seven-colored divine wheel behind him burst into brilliant light!

“Nüwa Empress, you guard the entrance to the Netherworld, facing the Netherworld’s ruler… yet you ally with the Netherworld, invoking its will into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Your actions will surely attract the lock of Heaven and Earth’s Will! Both your reincarnated form and your true self will suffer ten thousand tribulations and be destroyed!”

“Cease this now!”

The Old Lord Immortal said gravely.

But the Nüwa Empress paid him no heed.

Her gaze fell on the Immortal Jin Chan.

Behind the Immortal Jin Chan, the ancient golden cicada shimmered with brilliant golden light, the immortal aura vibrating, and his palms joined in a gentle sigh.

Indeed, a black hole appeared above his head, and a hand formed by the Netherworld will slammed down, grabbing the Immortal Jin Chan!

Rumble—

The entire spatial transmission channel instantly trembled, radiating concentric ripples of energy that spread outwards. The rampant energy made the channel feel as if it were about to burst under the strain.

In an instant, the situation had completely reversed!

Four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality were all suppressed by the Nüwa Empress!

This moment left all the onlookers in a dead silence, even the three Earth Immortals who had rushed to the scene remained speechless.

Initially, they had felt regret for not being able to participate in such a battle of Heavenly Immortality level, but now they felt a sense of relief.

They were grateful they hadn’t gotten involved.

Otherwise, they would have faced the terrifying power of the Nüwa Empress!

Four black holes spun in the void, annihilating everything in their path.

The black holes were so deep that they exuded a rolling aura of death.

The four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality seemed to be pulled into the netherworld through these black holes, unable to break free and were completely suppressed.

The terrifying essence of Heavenly Immortality flowed through the black holes but was still restrained, unable to escape.

The Nüwa Empress’s lithe figure moved gracefully, her hands forming seals. The terrifying seals seemed to be ancient runes woven from deathly auras, swirling around her.

These ancient runes seemed to belong to the netherworld, ancient symbols of the netherworld.

Her jet-black hair fluttered in the wind.

After pulling the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality into the netherworld domain, her eyes flickered slightly and scanned the Qitian Armor.

There was a hint of reluctance in her gaze.

"Xi Xi, Mother may not be able to stay with you for some time."

"Grow up safe and sound."

Her voice was gentle, echoing through the channel, lingering endlessly.

Inside the Qitian Armor.

Xi Xi’s face showed a look of anxiety.

Li Che clenched his fists, his face filled with shock and anger.

The will of Qitian sighed.

"Truly worthy of the Nüwa Empress, she has the courage..."

"Using a reincarnated body to restrain four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality, borrowing the power of the netherworld to pull them all into it... Even for four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality, breaking free from the netherworld’s seal and returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths won’t be easy."

Qitian sighed.

Li Che raised his head, looking at the will of Qitian. His eyes, hidden behind the Jade Mask, narrowed.

"Senior Qitian... What about the Nüwa Empress?"

Li Che didn’t care about the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality.

He only cared about his wife.

Qitian thought for a moment and said, "To seal and suppress four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality... naturally, a great price must be paid."

"The Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body... will likely serve as a lock, restraining the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality. The entrance from the netherworld to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will be locked, but it’s uncertain how long it will last."

"Based on the strength of the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body’s essence, it can seal them for... about three years."

"The three major god factions, without the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality, present a tremendous opportunity for our Yulian camp!"

"This is an opportunity the Nüwa Empress has created at great cost."

Qitian spoke seriously, without his usual playful demeanor. He understood the relationship between the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body and Li Che, and with Xi Xi.

In the past, Qitian had joked about whether the Nüwa Empress and Li Che had a romantic relationship, but now those words had come true.

But also...

If Li Che and the Nüwa Empress didn’t have an intimate relationship, how could someone easily touch the Nüwa Empress’s divine statue with her status?

"Will she die?"

Li Che’s lips trembled as he asked the most pressing question.

Qitian was silent.

After a long while, he sighed, feeling as if he had sighed more today than in his entire life.

"If the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality break free from the seal and return from the netherworld... it will mean the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body has perished. The lock won’t open otherwise."

Qitian’s voice was slightly heavy.

Three years...

To be honest, it wasn’t a long time.

But to restrain and suppress four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality for three years was truly an unimaginable feat.

"Of course... it’s not the Nüwa Empress who will perish, but her reincarnated body. The Nüwa Empress’s true form should not die; she should still be overseeing the entrance to the netherworld."

Qitian added, thinking of something.

"However, while the Nüwa Empress’s true form and her reincarnated body share the same consciousness, they are fundamentally different..."

"You should understand this..."

"Your wife is Zhang Ya, the reincarnated body, not the Nüwa Empress."

Li Che took a deep breath.

His heart was pounding.

Three years...

Is it enough?

Li Che didn’t know.

"Three years... Xi Xi, you must become very strong within three years. Xi Xi will definitely come back to save Mother!"

Xi Xi clenched her fists, her eyes burning with determination. The Prison Lotus Curse Power seemed to emanate from her body.

"As long as Xi Xi becomes strong enough to return and help Mother suppress the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality before they break free, Mother will live!"

Li Che’s heart was deeply moved, all his confusion seeming to dissipate in an instant!

That’s right!

Three years!

If Xi Xi has such determination, how could Li Che not have it?!

Li Che clenched his fingers into a fist, holding a Thunder Chess Piece in his palm, and then disappeared from the Qitian Armor’s cockpit.

Reappearing, he was already wearing the Jade Mask, his black robe with golden lotus embroidery fluttering in the wind.

He stepped through the void, one step at a time, approaching the graceful figure that bore the four black holes suppressing the vague outlines of the Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality.

The Nüwa Empress, with Zhang Ya’s appearance, her black hair fluttering, was stunningly beautiful.

Her long lashes trembled as she looked at Li Che, her red lips curving into a gentle smile.

"Surprised?"

"I just remembered..."

"In the past, I was always chasing, always under your protection. Now... it’s my turn to protect you."

Zhang Ya said softly, her eyes filled with reluctance and tenderness.

Li Che’s eyes flickered. Although she was the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body, Zhang Ya was still Zhang Ya, still his wife.

They had risen from humble beginnings, bringing up Xi Xi from the small city of Feilei, all the way to their current heights.

They supported each other, looked forward to each other, and grew together...

Their hearts had long been passionately intertwined, inseparable.

Looking into each other’s eyes, they understood each other’s intentions.

So, Li Che didn’t care about the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body...

He only recognized Zhang Ya as his wife.

Li Che slowly raised his hand, not caring about the suspicious gazes of the Earth Immortals watching them.

His hand touched Zhang Ya’s exquisite face.

The cold sensation spread instantly, like the ripples of a mirage.

It was the coldness of death.

It spread through his fingertips, throughout his body, piercing his heart, causing Li Che a pain like a knife to the soul!

"Xiaoya, wait for me."

Li Che said solemnly.

Zhang Ya smiled gently, then her eyes became serious.

"Husband, listen carefully..."

"Take this opportunity to escape and head to the Yulian Land. In the Yulian Land, find the ‘Yulian’s Burial Pool.’ That’s the base of our Yulian camp, the place where the fallen Yulian Daughters are buried. There... Xi Xi can receive the legacy of the Yulian Daughters."

"That way, Xi Xi can learn to control the Prison Lotus Curse. The Prison Lotus Curse is essentially a variant of the Heavenly and Earthly Will’s power. Xi Xi can’t erase this curse; she can only learn to control it."

"The generations of Yulian Daughters have tried to control it, but all failed. However, their experiences can greatly help Xi Xi."

Zhang Ya explained.

This was something she remembered after recovering her identity as the Nüwa Empress’s reincarnated body. It was important.

Li Che nodded solemnly.

"But it won’t be easy to reach the Yulian Land... The three major god factions have powerful figures guarding it, and there are also the three ancient villages of the Second Saints..."

"Husband, be careful."

"Also..."

Zhang Ya looked at Li Che.

"In the Yulian Land, there is something I left for you..."

"I can’t tell you what it is now, but you’ll know once you get there."

Li Che took a deep breath.

Zhang Ya’s body became increasingly transparent, as if merging into another world.

Li Che’s Pure Mind Dao Fruit resonated in his chest, activating the Spirit Realm skill!

Using the Spirit Realm skill, Li Che vaguely saw the four Immortals sealed in the netherworld.

Terrifying death auras swept through, and strange temples rose, continuously draining the power of the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality.

Strange temples...

Li Che’s heart was shaken.

Are these temples related to the netherworld?

Li Che didn’t dwell on it as the effects of the Spirit Realm skill quickly faded.

He could only vaguely see his wife, Zhang Ya, standing alone at the entrance to the netherworld, transformed into a divine statue of the Nüwa Empress.

Li Che withdrew his spirit.

As soon as his spirit withdrew, a powerful roar echoed!

"Stay!"

A sharp divine sword cut through the void, swiftly slicing towards Li Che’s neck with a cutting force.

Li Che’s eyes narrowed.

He had been thinking about what Zhang Ya had left in the Yulian Land, but now he had to focus on escaping.

The Nüwa Empress was alone, suppressing the four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality for at least three years.

But after three years, things would be uncertain.

Li Che’s gaze was cold and sharp. In three years... he would achieve Heavenly Immortality!

With a thought, the heaven and earth chessboard moved swiftly.

The Qitian Armor appeared beside Li Che.

Roar—

The will of Qitian controlled the Qitian Armor, the five ancient runes of heaven and earth resonating, making Qitian’s essence boil and his combat power surpass even his peak.

The Compliant Golden Staff struck fiercely.

In an instant, it knocked away the divine sword from the Heavenly Execution Sword Formation.

"Go!"

Li Che took a step and returned to the Qitian Armor’s cockpit.

The Qitian Armor’s myriad mechanisms emitted a brilliant light, sweeping a powerful strike at the four Earth Immortals who were charging towards them.

The Art of Victory in Battle!

A staff strike through the heavens!

Boom—!!

The four Earth Immortals, who had joined forces to attack, changed their expressions. Three of them, under the command of the Supreme God of the Heavens, summoned three divine swords.

The Earth Immortal guarding the spatial transmission gate bristled with fear.

He exerted all his strength to defend.

Bang—

The four Earth Immortals were struck by Qitian’s staff, flying like meteors and crashing into the gate of Taisu Heaven, causing it to crack with a dense network of fissures!

The Qitian Armor, now inscribed with five ancient runes of heaven and earth, had its combat power restored to its peak and even surpassed slightly.

It possessed power comparable to a Supreme God of Heavenly Immortality.

Facing an old veteran like Laojun Immortal might be challenging, but against Earth Immortals, it was easy.

"Go!"

The will of Qitian vibrated, not pursuing the victory further!

"Four Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality are sealed, and the other Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths will surely sense it..."

"So, we must leave quickly. Otherwise, if other Supreme Gods of Heavenly Immortality arrive, we won’t have the Nüwa Empress to help us, and it will be troublesome!" the will of Qitian said.

Li Che nodded, not forcing the issue.

With a thought, a series of divine birds inscribed with transmission array patterns floated in the air and exploded.

The Teleportation Platform’s transmission power was activated again.

The Qitian Armor, in the void channel, hummed and transformed into a fine, radiant light, compressing to an extreme before vanishing instantly!

The moment the Qitian Armor disappeared, a thunderous roar echoed!

A terrifying sword light, as if slicing through the depths of the cosmos, possessing a world-shattering ferocity, surged forth.

The Heavenly Execution Sword!

The spatial transmission channel was instantly enveloped in a dense network of sword auras, each cutting through space, leaving irreparable cracks.

Then, figures emerged, riding the sword light.

Four divine swords swirled around one figure.

The four Earth Immortals, who had been struck by Qitian’s staff and crashed into the Taisu Heaven gate, struggled to their feet.

"Master!"

"Pay respects to the Supreme God of the Heavens!"
