"Ye Xuan, what are you trying to do!?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix flared up, looking at Ye Xuan warily.

Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm as he released the Nine Netherworld Phoenix and said slowly, "I need to go somewhere, and you can’t follow. Otherwise, you might get suppressed to death."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s eyes were as cold as water: "Then why did you bring me to this place?"

"Because it’s quite nearby."

"..."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix was a bit frantic: "Are you trying to kill me?"

Ye Xuan glanced sideways: "Do I need to go through such trouble to kill you?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix: "..."

Alright, that’s an undeniable fact.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix wasn’t ready to give up: "This place is extremely dangerous, and I am only a soul. I can’t withstand it. Why don’t you send me back to the Ghost Buddha Sky Cave and come get me when it’s done."

Ye Xuan remained silent for a moment and then said indifferently, "Are you only thinking about restoring your power?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix instinctively replied: "What else?"

But then, realizing Ye Xuan’s words carried a deeper meaning, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix pondered, "Given my current state, even restoring my peak power is a delusion. After all, my true body is still in the Death Netherworld."

Ye Xuan smiled faintly, his eyes playful: "So, without that body, you’re nothing?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix fell silent instantly.

It looked up at Ye Xuan, eyes filled with depth.

This Lord of Death seemed to be weighing something.

After a moment, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix sighed, eyes somber: "I can be honest with you. Even if I recreate a body, I can’t possess Origin Power. Without Origin Power, my existence would be suppressed by the laws of your world."

"You know, your world inherently has Heavenly Dao Suppression. If I form a body and appear in this world, the Heavenly Dao Suppression I face will be a hundredfold, a thousand-fold, even ten thousand-fold more severe than yours, perhaps even making it impossible to form a body."

At this point, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix seemed a bit deflated.

This is why, despite its soul power reaching a certain level, it still hasn’t formed a body.

Because it knows very well, even if a body is formed, the moment it appears in this world, it would disintegrate instantly. At that time, even its soul might be suppressed.

It’s better to stay as is.

Think about it; as the dignified Lord of Death in the Dou Tian Divine Domain, it’s rather helpless.

Ye Xuan smiled calmly, "Compared to Heavenly Dao Suppression, how do you see the threat from this place?"

The eyes of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix glimmered, "You’re trying to suppress me!"

Ye Xuan said with a smile, "I only remember that you owe me three times of full-strength actions. I don’t want your full-strength actions to be just in your current state."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix couldn’t help but feel a headache at this; yes, it still owed Ye Xuan three promises.

And these must be fulfilled after recovering its strength.

"But that’s not a reason for you to torment me."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix was still very resistant.

The threat of this Thunder Pond was simply too exaggerated for him. One slight mistake, and his soul would truly be destroyed.

This is not the Dou Tian Divine Domain. If the soul is truly destroyed, the chance of resurrection would likely be severed as well.

Ye Xuan squinted and said, "I have a way to survive here. You owe me a fourth promise, what do you say?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix: "..."

After a moment, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix sighed, "I now highly suspect those three promises were a trap set by you."

Ye Xuan raised his hands, looking innocent, "Heaven and earth witness, those were all promises you made yourself. This is the only time I actively sought one."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said in a firm voice, "That makes it even more unlikely. You’re just forcefully trying to create opportunities this time."

Ye Xuan put down his hands, let the surroundings surge with thunder, and smiled calmly, "Sure you don’t want to?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said firmly, "No."

Ye Xuan turned and walked away.

In an instant, an endless thunderous wave surged towards the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

Terrified, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s pupils constricted, and it summoned the Jiuyou Netherworld, attempting to block that force.

Boom boom boom!

The thunder was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Tribulation’s lightning, constantly falling on the Jiuyou Netherworld, making it tremble continuously.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix could only hide within the Jiuyou Netherworld.

After two seconds, the Nine Netherworld Phoenix stopped Ye Xuan, saying, "You tell me first; if the method works, I will agree to your fourth promise."

Ye Xuan returned, covered the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, and said slowly, "In this world, there is a physique known as the Thunder God Body. This physique can only be formed by using various Divine Thunders from the world for body refining."

"Is this the so-called method?"

The eyes of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix turned cold.

Ye Xuan nodded, "Of course."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix said coldly, "Are you toying with me? I made it clear earlier; even if I form a so-called Thunder God Body, so what? This world does not accept me!"

Ye Xuan rubbed his nose and said, "Then why did I bring you here?"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix was startled, then suddenly said, "You want me to use the thunder here for body refining?!"

Ye Xuan spread his hands, "What else?"

"Absolutely not!"

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix refused immediately without even thinking.

This simply won’t work.

It can clearly feel the terrifying power of this Thunder Pond. It doesn’t have a physique as terrifying as Ye Xuan’s. With the body it could form with its strength, it would likely be shredded into bits by the thunder before it even starts.

How could that refine a body?

"Don’t rush."

Ye Xuan chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Buzz————

In an instant, the surrounding thunder surged like crazy, spinning wildly. However, at the location of Ye Xuan and the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, a vacuum formed.

Unaffected by thunder interference.

Then, within the surrounding thunder, a rolling thunder sound suddenly emerged.

Soon, the thunder spread out, forming a Daoist Platform, which, under Ye Xuan’s control, appeared beneath the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

Ye Xuan said slowly, "This is a method I originally devised to create the strongest Thunder God Body. I usually wouldn’t let anyone use it, but for you, I’m bringing it out today."

"Don’t disappoint me."

Ye Xuan smiled as he looked at the Nine Netherworld Phoenix.

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix examined the thunder-formed platform beneath it, still a bit apprehensive. It looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Are you sure this method will succeed?"

Ye Xuan nodded, "Of course, once the Thunder God Body is formed and refined by the Thunder Pond, your body will have none of the Dou Tian Divine Domain’s power. Unless you foolishly use your soul power and get caught by the Heavenly Dao, then you’d have no one to blame."

The Nine Netherworld Phoenix’s eyes flickered as it weighed the pros and cons.

To be honest, it really wanted to form a body. Relying only on the soul was actually unsafe, as danger could arise at any time.

And if it could create a body not targeted by this world, then it might even have the chance to return to Death Netherworld and unseal its true body!
