The battle in the Netherworld Secret Realm continued.

The Immortal Light was vast, while the shadowy mist surged, the murderous aura pervaded the sky, and the surrounding space was eerily distorted, even turning into chaos.

Immortals, beyond the mundane, possess a Little World independent of the cosmos, traversing the Star Sea, capable of distorting the Heaven and Earth Laws within their Domain.

When Zhang Kui ascended to immortality in the Celestial Essence Star Realm, he immediately slew the Reincarnation Three Monsters, overcoming the great calamity of life and death, and suppressed the fortune of the Divine Dynasty.

This was merely at the Immortal Level. Now, with the Eternal Immortal Dynasty and Netherworld Realm clashing, thousands of immortals, along with the profoundly mysterious Nine Calamities Divine Monarch and Celestial Ghost Buddha, wrought unimaginable turmoil and destruction.

Kill!

Blood-red Evil Qi surged as dozens of immortals clashed in a melee. Some who had just slain their opponents were ambushed in an instant, their souls scattered...

Boom!

The massive Star Realm could no longer withstand it, the Array shattered, the Earth Veins collapsed, swathes of ancient buildings became ruins, and countless mortal elites’ bodies shattered, blood spilled into the void...

Buzz!

The Celestial Ghost Buddha and Nine Calamities Divine Monarch had fought to madness. Chaos Qi enveloped them, the dazzling Immortal Light tore through space, and suddenly, it became like a black hole with infinite gravity, claiming lives indiscriminately...

Two malevolent and terrifying Evil God Divine Fiends took advantage of the chaos. They instinctively avoided provoking the Celestial Ghost Buddha and the Divine Monarch, instead howling around the battlefield, devouring flesh and broken Divine Souls.

These Evil God Divine Fiends were savage remnants left by the fallen Starry Sky Dominator. Even if rebirth was hopeless, they would instinctively devour everything.

Their appearance alone would usher in dark upheavals. Yet now, in this slaughter, no one paid them any heed.

The calamity of slaughter had arisen, hearts were frenzied and chaotic. No matter how high one’s cultivation or unmatched Tao Cultivation, who could escape...

......

Silence, an unsettling silence.

As if through a thick membrane, the soon-to-collapse purgatory and the sounds of great battles... all were kept at bay outside.

Zhang Kui retracted the Void Domain, releasing a few individuals, quickly sitting cross-legged to suppress the potentially rioting Immortal King Tower within him.

Within the tower’s dark void, countless Heritage Demon Corpses struggled and surged, intermixed with Disaster Beasts and Evil Spirits, wrapped in Ghost Fire, tossing about immense bones.

Zhang Kui gave a cold hum, forming a spell, first causing a spatial transformation, isolating these evil entities like a honeycomb, then golden chains clattered from the void, binding and suppressing them completely.

Gradually, tranquility returned to the dark void, and the Immortal Tower ceased its restlessness.

In his frantic escape just now, all obstructing evil entities were swept into the Immortal King Tower, with no time to deal with them.

This was Zhang Kui’s first large-scale suppression of demons with the Immortal Tower, nearly suffering backlash from it while barely managing.

"Taoist, are you alright?"

Seeing him slowly open his eyes, Fatty Tiger heaved a sigh of relief and asked.

"I’m fine."

Zhang Kui waved his hand, stood up to survey the surroundings, and used Divine Thought to explore.

Unlike the previous "purgatory," this place lacked the strange force that blocked Divine Thought and suppressed Tao Cultivation, allowing for an immediate clear view.

This was a vast cave, at least several hundred meters high, though still broad, it was much smaller than the "purgatory." Especially around, filled with ax marks and chisel cuts, clearly man-made.

This was evidently another independent space, where the doomsday-like battle noises from outside the Netherworld were completely imperceptible, filled with tranquility and antiquity.

On the journey, the two demons from the Spirit Corpse Sect were frightened, even now, they remained wary, as though something might spring out at any moment.

Fatty Tiger, however, was rather bold and curious. He asked, "Taoist, what is this place?"

"I don’t know either..."

Zhang Kui shook his head slightly, striding forward, with his eyes flashing Divine Light and using the Tongyou Skill to investigate, heading deeper into the cave.

Unexpectedly, there were no Array traps here, only some large stone discs and bowls, made of hard material yet ordinary, covered in cracks and dust, who knows how many eons they’ve endured.

His reason for heading directly to the cave’s depths was that during his Divine Thought probe, he found something...

Upon reaching the cave’s bottom, Zhang Kui waved his hand, and Yin Yang Divine Fire roared out, illuminating everything at once.

"What is this?!"

Fatty Tiger and the two demons from the Spirit Corpse Sect, who had followed, were filled with curiosity and confusion in their eyes.

Before them stood a smooth stone wall, upon which was painted a magnificent mural of a giant, mountain, and river... Brilliant and new, as if just painted using some unknown pigment.

"It’s the race that established the Netherworld..."

Zhang Kui looked at the image of the giant with Three Heads and Six Arms, with curved horns, and immediately made his judgment.

The Spider Spirit senior brother frowned slightly and said, "Taoist Friend Zhang, I’ve heard that some ancient races carve their heritage and history within their ancestral grounds. This place, isolated from the world, is likely such a place."

"You have a point..."

Zhang Kui nodded slightly, yet his attention was already captured by the mural’s content.

Like most such murals, it was filled with abstract and exaggerated depictions, but he could still discern the origins of this race.

According to what it shows, they were a race so powerful it’s indescribable.

They connected Life Stars into massive pearl-like structures and traveled between Star Realms using island-like star formations...

Their mighty ones could grab stars and moons, use sun, moon, and stars as chess pieces to arrange at will, connecting the vast cosmos and time, traveling freely...

Not only the Ancient Netherworld, but even the entire Netherworld Realm was imitated from the Life Stars’ Reincarnation, those Void Cyan Stone Ancient Daos were actually connecting each Reincarnation...
