Chapter 2207 - 2204: Returning to the Death Netherworld

After Ye Xuan arrived in Ding State, he immediately saw the terrifying Death Netherworld.

The boundless Death Netherworld Qi was constantly swirling around.

Fortunately, it didn’t spread further, otherwise, the entire Ding State might have been wiped out.

Back when the Nine Forbidden Lands of Xuanhuang were in turmoil, it caused an unprecedented crisis in the Nine States.

At that time, a temporary alliance was formed in every state.

Ding State also formed the Ding Alliance centered around the Dou Su Palace, the Guardian God of Ding State, to deal with the disaster caused by the expansion of the Death Netherworld.

Just like how Daozhou formed an alliance to counter the Dao Chu Ancient Land.

These kinds of alliances were very powerful and prevented the devastation of the living beings around the Forbidden Lands.

They were indeed quite effective.

This is one of the reasons for the existence of the Guardian Gods of Nine Provinces.

In the Cultivation World, strength is respected, but if everyone did as they pleased, this world would have long descended into chaos.

At any time, there needs to be someone to create rules to lead those reckless strong ones.

Of course.

As the crisis subsides, these alliances naturally become nominal.

In normal times, everyone just looks out for themselves.

After all, the territories have shrunk, making the competition even more intense.

Coupled with the previous chaos caused by the Evil God Sect, and now the Heavenly God Temple, the situation was very unfavorable at that time.

If not for the emergence of the Emperor Road, the conflict would have been more intense.

Fortunately, the Emperor Road appeared in time, preventing chaos in the Nine States.

Sigh————

Ye Xuan traveled on the wind, arriving outside the Death Netherworld.

But here.

Ye Xuan encountered a ’familiar’ unfamiliar person.

Tang Kui.

A Snow Storage from the Immortal Crossing Sect, an unparalleled prodigy from nine thousand years ago.

In terms of seniority, he was still the martial uncle of Qiao Xinyu.

This guy, who was supposed to be on the Emperor Road, appeared outside the Death Netherworld.

Tang Kui still looked like a youth, dressed in white.

He appeared like a Banished Immortal descending to the mundane world.

But the aura on him was as deep as an abyss, giving off an overwhelming sense of oppression.

The white-clad youth clasped his hands behind him, staring absentmindedly at the Death Netherworld.

When he sensed someone approaching, the white-clad youth lazily said, "Didn’t I say not to disturb me?"

"Interrupting my chance to comprehend the Great Emperor, how do you intend to compensate for that?"

He didn’t turn around, speaking in a lazy tone.

Yet there was a sharp killing intent within.

As if the next moment, he would erupt and kill Ye Xuan.

"Coming to the Death Netherworld to comprehend the Great Emperor?"

Ye Xuan continued forward, smiling lightly.

Hearing this voice, the white-clad youth suddenly froze, then swiftly turned to look at Ye Xuan.

Upon seeing Ye Xuan, he was taken aback.

This heart demon from the Emperor Road appeared again!

Tang Kui first felt angry, then let out a dejected sigh, looking at Ye Xuan with a complicated gaze: "So it’s you, long time no see."

On the Emperor Road, he was defeated by this ’Ye Xuan’ too many times.

In the latter half of the Emperor Road, he was almost unable to move an inch, ultimately being knocked off the Emperor Road.

After returning to the Immortal Crossing Sect, he’s been healing.

Recently, as he recovered well, he planned to see if he could find a breakthrough opportunity at the Death Netherworld.

His current cultivation had reached the Fifth Layer of the Great Saint Realm—Reverse Origin Great Saint.

But he understood well, the gap between him and Ye Xuan was not just a small difference.

When coming out of the Emperor Road, he saw the top spot on the Heavenly Stele of the Emperor Road.

Ye Xuan!

Those two words were etched deeply in his mind, making it hard for him to forget.

Even now, his martial nephew Qiao Xinyu was still on the Emperor Road, yet he had already fallen off the Emperor Road.

Such a blow was hard for him to recover from.

But now, facing Ye Xuan, he had nothing to say.

He had completely recognized the gap between him and Ye Xuan.

They were not in the same league at all.

"By the way, may I ask, how long did it take you to finish the Emperor Road?"

Tang Kui collected himself, smiling as he asked.

Facing Ye Xuan, whom he once regarded as his greatest rival, he had somewhat come to terms with it.

If he couldn’t beat him.

Then he wouldn’t fight anymore.

Surrender.

Ye Xuan walked to a point parallel with Tang Kui, calmly stating: "Three years to complete the Emperor Road, over six years to come out."

Hearing this response, Tang Kui couldn’t help but inhale sharply.

No wonder the monster ranked first on the Heavenly Stele of the Emperor Road!

"Hearing this, aren’t you tempted to provoke a bit?"

Ye Xuan turned his head to look at Tang Kui, smiling slightly.

When entering the Emperor Road, Tang Kui had been quite arrogant.

"Who would dare, currently you could crush me with a single finger!"

Tang Kui shook his head with a wry smile: "I now somewhat understand why Xinyu would choose to follow you."

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, not making things difficult for this previously provocative guy.

Because...

They were two completely different worlds.

The True Dragon doesn’t care about the thoughts of ants.

"Your path is unfinished, continue on, in the future, you might still shine."

Ye Xuan didn’t stop, continuing forward.

Tang Kui watched Ye Xuan, somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to ’encourage’ him.

"Thank you."

Tang Kui politely said.

Ye Xuan paid no further attention to Tang Kui and disappeared under the shroud of Death Netherworld Qi.

Tang Kui watched Ye Xuan walk straight in, dumbfounded.

This guy.

Truly abnormal.

This is one of the Nine Prohibitions of Xuanhuang, the Death Netherworld.

And it’s in a sealed state.

In such a condition, the Death Netherworld Qi would erode even a Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivator, ultimately cursing them, making them lose themselves.

But Ye Xuan didn’t care at all and went straight in!

As if it was non-existent.

Watching Ye Xuan’s figure slowly fade, a thought surfaced in Tang Kui’s mind.

Perhaps he should also do something extraordinary.

Or should he venture into the Forbidden Land?

Forget it.

Entering that place would mean certain death for me.

After some thought, Tang Kui decided against it.

He didn’t have Ye Xuan’s strength, nor that kind of confidence.

Just like how Ye Xuan took three years to complete the Emperor Road.

He spent nearly ten years and was still knocked down halfway.

There is no comparison at all.

The gap was too vast, really going in would be courting death.

In the end, Tang Kui chose not to act recklessly and decided to leave, planning to return to the Immortal Crossing Sect to close-door cultivate.

He felt Ye Xuan was right, his path was not over, his journey continued.

Perhaps future brilliance could still envelop him a bit.

Ye Xuan was unaware of Tang Kui’s thoughts.

Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

After all, Tang Kui’s future didn’t have much to do with him.

The reason for saying that was simply because he felt that a terrifying battle would descend in the future.

Although Tang Kui didn’t have the demeanor of a Great Emperor, he still had considerable strength.

When the time comes, perhaps he could contribute.

With such intentions, he said those words.

Death Netherworld.

Arrived.
