Chapter 967 - 303: Curtain Falls (Part 2)

In the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms, the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect are notorious for their ferocity.

Since a remarkable person from the Cangmin Sea Region proposed that Outer World Cultivators in pseudo-Divinity Transformation Realm could perfect the Great Dao Laws within the Dao Source Secret Realm by elevating its power level, thereby enabling their Realm to break through again, many Dao Source Secret Realm controllers have been secretly attempting this.

Among them, the Tribulation Fire Sect in the Ancient Central State Domain chose to devour the Dao Source of other incomplete Dao Source Secret Realm small worlds.

They secretly planted informants in these incomplete Dao Source Secret Realm small worlds, cultivated forces, and through meticulous planning, silently seized the Dao Source of entire worlds.

Rumors outside claim that in the Seventy-Two Cangmin Realms, the Dao Source of four small worlds has already been stolen by the Tribulation Fire Sect.

The method chosen by the Underworld in the Netherworld Domain is even more peculiar.

The Lord of the Underworld believes that when Cultivators break through a Golden Core, the Immortal Golden Nature bestowed by Heaven is the Spiritual Object most aligned with the Great Dao.

If abundant Immortal Golden Nature could be refined into the Dao Source Secret Realm, it would certainly enhance the Dao Source Secret Realm’s level, thereby breaking boundaries and allowing one’s Realm to surpass pseudo-Divinity Transformation, advancing to higher levels.

Both factions, the Underworld wants the Golden Nature, the Tribulation Fire Sect wants the Dao Source, what they carry out are acts of plundering, yet without fundamental conflict of interest.

Therefore, over the years, many forces have often heard news of them colluding, joining forces to destroy other small worlds.

And their most recent collaboration targeted the Yangnao Land of yore.

Unfortunately, Great Prosperity True Monarch was skilled in calculation, and although his plan ultimately failed, he successfully shattered the conspiracy of the Underworld, Tribulation Fire Sect, and several other forces to annex Yangnao Land.

It is said that in the battle of that year, losses were extremely severe for all involved forces.

Just among the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who died in battle, there were dozens!

These dozens of individuals nearly died completely, with not even a chance for reincarnation.

And the Celestial Dragon Temple, a Dao Source Secret Realm, was directly shattered and dissipated, vanishing altogether.

"Great Prosperity True Monarch, we meet again."

After ten Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect stepped into the void before him, one youth dressed in a Profound Black robe with gold patterns and wearing a black jade crown smiled and spoke.

Meeting his gaze, Xu Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist Greenface, your fortune is remarkable, to have possessed such a superior body again."

"However, it doesn’t compare to your previous Nether Body."

Mentioning the "Nether Body," the Greenface King from the Underworld suddenly narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing within!

That body was a special physique he found in a small world after great effort, and relying on it, he reached the pseudo-Divinity Transformation Realm in just over a hundred years, with strength faintly surpassing his previous life.

Yet that top-grade body, which promised a significant increase in power, was personally destroyed by Great Prosperity True Monarch back then.

"Fellow Daoist, your tongue remains as sharp as ever."

Next to the Greenface King, an elder in the Tribulation Fire Sect’s red cloak chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, it was also your tongue that successfully persuaded the Yangnao Seven Sons to willingly serve you, wasn’t it?"

"I just wonder what the Yangnao Seven Sons would think if they ever knew you had been exploiting them from the start?"

As the elder spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Feng Jingyang and Lu Benshui behind Xu Xiu.

"These two are also among the Yangnao Seven Sons, aren’t they?"

The elder feigned surprise, then sighed and shook his head: "Back then, the Yangnao Seven Sons were well-known carefree knights in the Cangmin Sea Region..."

"It’s a pity, the name of the knight lingers, but the sword-bearer of that time is absent."

"Only two of the Yangnao Seven Sons remain..."

As his words fell, Feng Jingyang and Lu Benshui’s faces subtly changed.

"Old scoundrel, cease sowing discord here!"

"We followed the lord back then to prevent the riffraff from invading and harming Yangnao Land, and now the lord’s plan has succeeded; today we’ll settle the old accounts with you all!"

After the fierce reprimand, Feng Jingyang immediately bowed toward Xu Xiu and said, "Lord, let’s act!"

"Today, let’s show these scoundrels the preparations we’ve made over the years."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiu was also unwilling to continue the verbal sparring and suddenly waved his sleeve!

In the next moment, a multitude of flowing lights flew out from his sleeve, all merging into the surrounding void!

The void, already filled with various mysterious complex patterns, had its Array Patterns instantly change from crimson gold to dark purple after these lights merged!

Simultaneously, as those dark purple Array Patterns flickered, all Outer World Cultivators within the range of the Array suddenly began emanating a dark purple mist from their bodies!

As the dark purple mist appeared, everyone, whether Nascent Soul True Monarchs or Golden Core Purple Mansion Realm Cultivators, clearly felt their Spiritual Power slowly weakening!

"This is... the Forbidden Grand Array!?"

"How could it be this array!?"

"Great Prosperity True Monarch, this matter has nothing to do with us; please quickly open the array and let us leave!"

"Yes, yes, this is a dispute between you and the Underworld and Tribulation Fire Sect, we had no hand in the affairs of Yangnao Land back then!"

In the scene, forces from Cyan Moon Dao Sect, Daqu Secret Realm, and Cangming Mountain, who earlier intended to coerce the Shen Family into handing over the Blood of Dominator, rapidly changed their expressions after sensing the power of the Forbidden Grand Array, calling for Xu Xiu to open the array and let them leave.
