Two dark purple phoenixes were battling in the sky, their clear cries echoing continuously. Waves of sound spread out, causing many weaker individuals to suffer misfortunes as their blood and Qi reversed and surged within them.

"Hmm?"

The Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect furrowed his brows, channeling powerful netherworld power into the dark purple phoenix in his palm, constantly maintaining its strength. He hadn’t expected that his magic would end in a draw with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo also had a purple aura rising into the sky, continuously injecting netherworld power into the dark purple phoenix.

Although both were Second Seal Nether Pattern Masters, the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect had spent much more time in cultivation and research of netherworld power than Lin Mo. However, he could feel that although Lin Mo had just stepped into becoming a Second Seal Nether Pattern Master, his netherworld power was extremely pure, which was why he could hold his ground.

"It seems Li Ling didn’t lie to me. This kid indeed possesses treasures related to the cultivation of netherworld power." The greed in the eyes of the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect grew even denser.

"Abyss Nether Chain!"

Seeing this, Li Ling furrowed his brows, forming Dharma Seals in his hands. Streams of netherworld power shot out like Long Mangs, splitting the void. These purple Long Mangs, like Iron Chains, split into two, then four, continually increasing until they formed thousands upon thousands of purple chains.

Clattering like flowing water, they encircled Lin Mo’s body, intertwining like countless Long Mangs, beginning to compress toward him.

Lin Mo could naturally feel the pressure from these netherworld power chains, pressing against his body.

"Xuanyuan Sword!"

With a low shout, Lin Mo invoked the Xuanyuan Sword, which hummed as it moved, slicing out in an arc like a peacock spreading its tail, causing thousands of golden sword lights to emerge in the sky, twisting toward the compressing netherworld power chains.

Rumble!

The entire sky seemed to tremble under the impact of three different netherworld powers. In some places, space was torn open, where space rifts flickered in and out of existence.

Lin Mo, along with Li Ling and the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect, had reached a point of no return; it was either they die or he perishes.

In such a situation, any other battles appeared redundant, as all participants gathered their True Yuan and netherworld power, aiming to defeat the opponent.

The other observers, watching with serious faces, knew Lin Mo had fallen into a disadvantage.

But any clear-eyed observer knew that if Lin Mo faced them one-on-one, he wouldn’t be in such a dire situation; in fact, he held the upper hand.

Lin Mo’s ability to withstand the attacks of two people caused the expressions of Li Ling and the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect to grow more and more serious. This child must be eliminated, or he will become a great calamity.

"If this standoff continues, I fear I won’t hold out for long," Lin Mo thought silently to himself.

Though he had stepped into the Star System Level, with his strength significantly enhanced, he faced two genuine Intermediate Star Sea Level experts, oblivious to any oversight.

Secretly channeling his inner netherworld power, the small Black Snake coiling inside him suddenly opened its triangular eyes, with purple vertical pupils shining brightly before a ferocious netherworld power burst forth. It darkened his purple netherworld power, injecting it into the dark purple phoenix.

In the sky, among the battling netherworld power phoenixes, the netherworld power phoenix controlled by Lin Mo suddenly experienced a surge in power. With a clear cry, it collided directly with the dark purple phoenix controlled by the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect. Subsequently, the dark purple phoenix’s light became exceedingly dim before exploding into a mass of netherworld power, dissipating between heaven and earth.

"Damn it!"

The Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect turned pallid, with a trickle of blood emerging from his mouth.

The venomous resentment and hatred in his eyes became sharp and intense.

In an instant, the stalemate was broken. Lin Mo’s gaze flickered with a sharp gleam as he fixed his eyes on Li Ling. Gripping the Xuanyuan Sword, he suddenly struck with a fierce slash.

Heavenly Reversal Nine Swords, Sky Splitting!

A radiant brilliance, like a divine slash piercing through the void, unleashed a thousand-zhang sword light, sweeping across the sky in a landslide.

Numerous spectators on the mountain peak displayed expressions of shock.

Li Ling and the Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect, both at the Intermediate Star System Level, had joined forces, yet Lin Mo had gained the upper hand.

In the eyes of thousands, an unparalleled sword light fragmented the void, leaving a golden afterimage in each vision.

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The enormous sharp golden sword light descended, severing the netherworld power chains encircling Lin Mo’s body like Iron Chains effortlessly, as if slicing through tofu without any resistance.

Li Ling showed a horrified expression, never expecting that the person he had once chased to such a pitiful extent now possessed such formidable strength. While shocked inside, he also harbored a hint of dread.

"Lin Tanyu, do you dare to challenge our Netherworld Sect? I’ll extract your soul and refine it to ashes." Li Ling gritted his teeth, seeing the sword light carrying invincible power approach. His whole body surged with True Yuan, conjuring the image of a Demon Ape Beast in front of him.

Clang!

The Demon Ape stood dozens of zháng tall, formed by netherworld True Yuan, resembling a real beast. Raising its muscular arms, its palms actually caught the fierce sword light.

But it lasted only about two seconds before the sword Qi within the light traveled along, etching a pained expression on the Demon Ape’s face. It then split down the middle, with the sharp sword light slashing down onto Li Ling.

Li Ling used a True Essence Shield for defense, but his body was propelled backward like a cannonball, the sonic boom echoing, and a thread of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth. Sword Qi penetrated his body, stabbing him as if by a thousand needles.

Startled beyond belief, Li Ling hurriedly circulated his inner True Yuan to dispel the chilling sword Qi inside his body.

"You little beast, do you think we’re that easy to deal with?"

The Great Elder of the Netherworld Sect hovered in the air, black robes fluttering without wind, his black and white hair flowing, shooting sharp cold light from his murky eyes. True Yuan poured out like an endless sea.

Even the True Yuan between heaven and earth seemed to surge under his influence.

"If you have any trick up your sleeve, bring it out. Don’t just boast here," Lin Mo sneered, fixing his gaze on the elder.

Since reaching the point of life and death with the Netherworld Sect, Lin Mo had no intention of stopping. If he couldn’t kill the two, greater trouble would arise in the future.

The Great Elder’s face turned purple from Lin Mo’s provocation. "Fine, fine, if you’re rushing to die, I’ll fulfill your wish and let you witness the true netherworld technique of our sect!"

Of course, the spectators on the mountain peak were shocked by the battle, their expressions changing dramatically. However, seeing two expert figures of the Netherworld Sect forced into such a predicament by Lin Mo was quite eye-opening.

"If Lin Tanyu can truly slay the two, he may well have the qualifications to ascend the Demon Realm List," Guo Lu murmured to himself.

The world rumbled with fierce winds while netherworld power surged like tidal waves. The Great Elder formed ancient seals with both hands, and a massive purple thundercloud vortex reappeared in the sky. He roared, "Chaotic Demon Extinguishing Palm!"
