Chapter 354: The Underworld Struck from Records, Invincible Across the World

In the vast underworld, only the few strongest yin spirits survived, but at this moment they were all shivering.

Facing the figure standing upon the nine heavens, they lost all will to fight, as if before that person any resistance would be futile.

They didn't even have the qualification to be his enemy, after all even the lord of the underworld, the Purgatory Emperor, had been slain! "Hum!"

Hun Dun Chi exerted its might over the universe, shedding the light of the Great Dao, vast as a starry sea, boundless and endless, flowing with immortal radiance.

The light of the Great Dao contained the purest holy power, capable of purifying all ominous and strange things; strand after strand fell, wearing away the Dao and principle.

"Pfft..."

The yin spirits had fought for a long time, suffering heavy injuries; now facing the vast holy power, they could not even resist, and upon contact, their death‑laden bodies instantly showed dense runes.

Divine eyes unfolded; Yang Zhu, through endless distance, saw the direction of Fei Xian Star, where an immortal stone tablet fell from the void, stirring all directions.

Everything follows the heart; thoughts penetrate!

All who heard were shocked and astonished.

This is a fairy treasure that exists only in legend; even the supreme of the ancient emperors' forbidden zone would covet it, moving them deeply.

Now that the Chaos Holy Embryo has appeared, it is even more astonishing than the ancient Wushi Emperor, sweeping all before it, and within a little over a hundred years it nears the proof of the Dao.

Soon after, in a soft sound, it turned to ashes and vanished, becoming a shower of light that dissipated.

"A colossal being that has been passed down for thousands of generations was just swept away by the Imperial Son!"

Within the Chaos Immortal Realm, Yang Zhu evolved the myriad heavens, enlightened the stars, established the order of Qian and Kun, and opened up one pure land after another.

Yang Zhu did not hesitate, leaving with the Jade Pool Holy Maiden to seek that old person.

"The people of the Heavenly Court have come!"

People exclaimed, their hearts trembling; a force that made the world hear its name and lose courage was today, led by the Chaos Holy Embryo commanding the Heavenly Court, utterly destroyed in one stroke.

"The Underworld will be struck from the records today; if it ever tries to rise again, I will surely destroy its lineage."

Having just passed the tribulation of the nine heavens of the quasi‑emperor, Yang Zhu originally wanted to continue contemplating the Dao, but upon hearing this news he felt relieved.

"Return to the court!"

Another was the old Dao Cang Lao's body, riding an aged lame horse, gazing at the former underworld, his eyes lost in thought.

He opened up an unprecedented glorious era! "The Sacred Body Dao Embryo is inherently an invincible path; once the Chaos Holy Embryo appears, it can even overturn and defy immortals—if a true immortal came, it could be slain!"

As more and more news spread, people grew more certain that the path to immortality in this age would appear again.

Ye Fan gave a light chuckle, and countless heavenly troops and generals, like a tide, swiftly withdrew from this place.

However, no one knows who spoke first, causing all beings in the universe to be unable to stay calm.

"I didn't expect that either."

The Wushi Emperor who achieved emperorship via the Sacred Body Dao Embryo—even the divine thoughts of the Undying Heavenly Emperor cannot be denied; he can defy heaven, and even more so defy immortals.

His present flesh and primordial spirit, compared to the true ancient great emperor, are even superior, lacking nothing.

"Ah..."

Just like the ancient Beidou star region, more and more experts from beyond the realm descend here, seeking the chance to become immortals, or simply waiting for that day to arrive again.

"This is a monumental undertaking of thousands of generations; it should have been excised long ago!"

Not long after Yang Zhu returned, he chose to contemplate the Dao and create a method, breaking through again and even proving the Dao; for him it was as easy as water flowing into a channel, with no restraint whatsoever.

Yang Zhu scanned the crowd, saw Yin Tian De, Taichu, Zhang Bai Ren and other outstanding individuals, leaving only this sentence.

"Good heavens, it's simply too shocking to hear, hard to imagine..."

"I'm old; I always feel that using these treasures is a waste, better to leave them for the younger generation..."

Perhaps it's because he has secluded himself for too long; he has become numb, lacking much feeling.

All his actions are simply from his original heart, just as when he once helped Hua Yunfei escape the control of the Ruthless Lineage.

"That child from back then also forged his own path."

They stared at the fragments of the Heaven‑Piercing Underworld Treasure, said nothing more, and soon each vanished in place.

Back then, he reached the pinnacle of the Great Sacred Body Ancestral Star, enlightened a boy named Feng Gu, and now, in the outside world, he has already created his own realm.

"Woof! The Imperial Son has ascended the nine heavens, truly attained perfection, and is invincible under heaven!"

Upon hearing that, Gai Jiuyou actually laughed, showing a grand spirit and broad mind.

"I thought I was already impressive, but compared to those truly favored by the Great Dao, the difference is not just a little bit…"

"The path to immortality in this age has opened again, and the location is none other than the Flying Immortal Star!"

Yang Zhu looked down upon the vast universe, his voice spreading to the ten directions, reaching every corner, even the wilds of the cosmos were no exception.

As the Chaos Holy Embryo, his qi and blood were vigorous to the point of being "hair‑raising", and he also held many immortality medicines, elixirs that could reverse life for two thousand years, which to him were nothing.

That day, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden found Yang Zhu and informed him of this.

After all, Gai Jiuyou had no particular favor toward Yang Zhu, yet he greatly respected the frail old man before him.

One appeared as a youth, full of vigor, with a wild aura spreading.

The Twelve Demon Lords, Gu Tian Shu, Long Ma, and others each chose a piece of pure land to take over, thereafter making it their dwelling.

After Yang Zhu entered seclusion, the Black Emperor, Long Ma, and Duan De also reduced their movements, rarely appearing, spending most of their time in seclusion as well.

Having said that, he still didn't forget to glance at the person beside him: "I never imagined that you and I could stand together like this today."

"Throughout history, the Underworld has been an endless terrifying existence; only the ancient emperors possessed the strength to overthrow it, and in this age only the Imperial Son can do so."

Chuan Ying muttered to himself, but he wasn't overly troubled; instead he laughed heartily.

All factions and heroes were watching this direction; among them, a few outstanding individuals sighed helplessly, their Dao hearts dimmed.

After everyone had left, two figures appeared here.

Some demon lords, missing their homeland, even employed defiant divine powers to move their ancestral star bodily, suspending it above the pure land's nine heavens.

Immortal waterfalls cascaded down; Yang Zhu stepped forward, the Jade Pool Holy Maiden's immortal body following half a step behind, while behind them the Black Emperor, Long Ma, and Duan De followed closely.

Soon, a gleam flashed in the depths of his eyes, shocked by Yang Zhu's present strength and qi and blood.

Ning Fei nodded slightly, his expression complex as he gazed upon the black earth before him, not knowing what feeling filled his heart.

"Born in this world, glory and downfall go hand in hand..."

Chuan Ying was shocked, two terrifying divine lights shooting from his eyes, his emotions unable to calm for a long time.

Thereafter, a towering figure bathed within it, letting the boundless immortal tribulation cleanse his whole body.

Now Yang Zhu has reached the peak of the quasi-emperor, his lifespan surpassing that of a perfected sacred body, becoming even more terrifying; to live three lives in reverse is by no means impossible.

A dog's bark rang out from deep within the Chaos Immortal Realm, shaking the four directions, exceedingly exhilarated. This tremendous immortal tribulation lasted a full half month before slowly dissipating; now Yang Zhu has become even stronger, looking down upon all heavens, gazing over the vast universe.

Moreover, it was stained with blood, containing the Imperial Dao's laws, terrifying without bound.

Yang Zhu sighed helplessly, took out the Emperor's Nine-Revolution Immortal Pill, and gave it to the other party.

He knew this was because the path to immortality was unstable, a sign of its imminent manifestation, and the opening of the Ascension Fairy Road still required some time.

"Let's go take a look."

"Nine-Revolution Immortal Pill..."

"A single faction actually has three sacred bodies in the world; if they all reach perfection, they would be unmatched fighting power!"

That day, within the Chaos Immortal Realm, ninety-nine kinds of immortal tribulations appeared, shocking the onlookers; on the firmament, five-colored immortal light shone, cutting through myriad ages.

"That person... could it be the Kunlun Immortal Clan that the Emperor once attacked? But they were not completely wiped out..."

"I have seen the Imperial Son."

He is, after Ye Fan's disciple Yang Xi, another saintly body that emerged out of nowhere, equally astonishing everyone, nearly invincible against opponents of the same realm.

People marveled that in an age one might not even see a sacred body appear, yet now three have emerged at once—how could it not be shocking? "Senior Jiuxu seems to be on his last legs, his lifespan nearly exhausted."

This place, bathed in various immortal lights, presents a scene of immense grandeur, as if about to ascend to immortality; countless showers of light and divine rosy clouds dance and rise.

The Chaos Holy Fetus is too strong; having been born over a hundred years ago, it is nearing the proof of the Dao, possessing the strength to contend with the Perfect Emperor.

"Is it about to open..."

In this great age, unparalleled divine bodies and heavenly talents have all emerged, yet no one can rival them; one can only look up to their backs.

Later, he also joined the Heavenly Court, but he never mentioned this to anyone.

This is a mighty feat; throughout endless ages past and present, it has never happened before.

Now even a casual drop of his essence blood is a peerless immortal treasure, comparable to half a stalk of the elixir of immortality, priceless beyond compare, far surpassing even sacred bodies.

Every parcel of pure land is a true vast world, boundlessly vast, with numerous divine traces and dragon veins residing within, misty vapors rising.

It is hard to imagine; should he one day prove the Dao, how overwhelming his suppression of the universe would be, awe-inspiring to the nine heavens and ten earths, at that time humans, ghosts, and gods would all revere him!

"Mother, when I grow up, I will surely become as formidable as the Imperial Son!"

"Senior, there's no need for this; the elixir of immortality is meant to be consumed, and besides, I have more than one stalk."

"Ah, the long-lost divine flood dragon lineage is actually here; I've heard they have been waiting for a while, silently awaiting the opening of the Ascension Star's path to immortality."

Since the world learned that the master of the Heavenly Court is Yang Zhu, an uproar has ensued; thereafter, who would dare to oppose this colossus? Thereafter, many who joined the Heavenly Court did so for Yang Zhu, willing to follow the Heavenly Court forever.

Yet they now face the ancient world's number one physique; no matter how stunning your talent, you are destined to dim, becoming merely a foil on his glorious imperial path.

When a sacred body reaches perfection, one can live two lives in reverse, even under the premise that heaven and earth do not acknowledge it.

That day, many strong individuals and factions set out, descending upon that ancient star, seeking the opportunity to become immortals.

They knew it was hard to keep up with Yang Zhu's pace of improvement, yet they also did not want to fall too far behind, thus striving with all their might; in a flash, another eight years passed.

Yang Zhu glanced and immediately knew that the other party had not consumed the essence of the immortality elixir he had given, but had carefully sealed it, intending to leave it for future generations who might need it.

A few days later, on a star deep in the universe, a frail old man suddenly opened his eyes, gazing into the void ahead.

"Hum!"

They are respectively the first divine general of the ancient Heavenly Court and the first war general of the Eight Divine Generals, Chuan Ying and Ning Fei.

This news is undoubtedly shocking, causing many to erupt in excitement; soon the Ascension Star became a hub where cosmic currents converge, drawing close attention from all factions.

Shortly after, Yang Zhu and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi appeared; seeing this, the old man rose and paid his respects, as reverent as ever.

"A lifetime of glorious scroll..."

Yet many more are delighted and exhilarated, after all the netherworld's power is too terrifying, invisibly akin to a great mountain pressing upon the hearts of all forces.

The sacred body lineage has not disappointed humanity, yet after the changes of heaven and earth, it has become difficult to cultivate, leaving people sighing endlessly.

This era's turmoil, because the Ascension Star has risen again, leaves no place tranquil.

Within the netherworld, the myriad evils of the underworld have been eradicated; no longer gloomy and filled with deathly confusion, everywhere is draped in a thin layer of light.

The twelve demon sovereigns look down upon the universe, each exerting heavenly pressure, coldly gazing upon myriad beings, never uttering a word, yet they followed along as well.

"Senior, you did not take the immortality elixir I initially gave you..."

"Even the Heaven-Penetrating Nether Treasure has been shattered, quite a feat..."

However, within this immortal land, there are multiple extreme Dao imperial weapons suppressing it, plus the sealing methods left by the Emperor; only through their combined action can these emanations barely be prevented from leaking outward.

Such speed presses everyone into breathlessness, making them feel unable to draw air.

Gu Tianshu withdrew his golden war spear, his expression also excited; this lifetime, though he cannot follow the footsteps of the Beginningless Great Emperor, he can follow beside the Imperial Son, and has no regrets.

Suddenly, the void shattered, a black fragment tore through the universe, drifting here; even though it broke, the supreme imperial might of the extreme Dao did not dissipate.

"Haha, such a great matter, let's leave it to these later generations!"

Not long after, someone saw the Heavenly Court's people arrive; many gazed afar in awe, unable to help but sigh.

Yang Zhu's name now spreads throughout the universe, sung by people, eternal and immortal, lasting through myriad ages.

He wished to, before that, completely walk his own path.

He closely followed behind, entering the immortal waterfall together.

Even children just a few years old, upon setting foot on the path of cultivation, regard Yang Zhu as their lifelong pursuit.

Upon seeing the immortal pill, Gai Jiuyou revealed surprise, quickly recognizing it.

The Black Emperor's words sound extremely arrogant, yet Dao Yi, Gu Huang, and others could find no reason to refute, for the fact is thus.

He admitted that these were all peerless heavenly talents, and in any era they would be stunning.

Unexpected, Yang Zhu actually possesses it, and it is a complete one, its value immeasurable! "I will just watch the senior take it here; then I can be at ease."

The Black Emperor grinned widely, sweeping over those who had once contended with Yang Zhu—Yaoguang, Guhuang, and Dao Yi, et al.

Only by ascending to the supreme peak and breaking free from the mortal realm can one forge immortality.

"Ah..."

Gai Jiuyou felt the firmness in Yang Zhu's words, knowing it was hard to delay; looking at the immortal pill in his hand, after a long sigh, he took it.

"Boom—"

Immediately, his whole body burst forth celestial radiance; a beam of celestial light shot up hundreds of thousands of miles, as if about to ascend to immortality, various light rains and miracles appeared! In this way, Gai Jiuyou's nearly exhausted life essence actually began to recover, surging with limitless vitality.

Even that aged visage retreated, gradually becoming young, with thick hair loosely spread before his chest and back.
