Chapter 488: Nine Nether Purgatory, Zong Ming!

Myriad Races Continent, Immortal Realm territory.

Rumble—!!

Heaven and earth shook as a colossal azure dragon roared forth, spiraling above the Immortal Realm.

Countless soldiers of the Slay Dragon Army, clad in Slay Dragon Armor, charged toward the strong ones of the Immortal Race.

Among them, Beichen, Zhang Xiaobai, Nan Shou Ren, Wu Ling'er, Tang Nian Bing, and the others were conspicuously present.

The Immortal Emperor gazed gloomily at the Slay Dragon King before him.

This day, it had already been half a month since the Qiankun Cave Heaven ended.

Within that half month, the Slay Dragon Army had done exactly as the Slay Dragon King said — trampling the Immortal Race.

Fighting their way all the way to the Immortal Race's core region.

Moreover, the Slay Dragon King's strength was extremely terrifying; even though the Immortal Emperor struck repeatedly.

Yet in the Slay Dragon King's hands, he still retreated defeat after defeat.

"Slay Dragon King, do you want to provoke a death war between the Myriad Races and the Human Race!"

The Immortal Emperor stared ferociously at the Slay Dragon King, his heart filled with boundless fury.

The Slay Dragon King's eyes flickered with cold light.

"You killed my disciple — did you ever consider this day!"

Although the Slay Dragon King knew Su Yu had not died, his protective nature still drove him to act.

The Immortal Emperor felt a mix of grief and indignation.

It clearly seemed the Three Races were united, yet when the Slay Dragon King led the Slay Dragon Army to attack, the Divine Race and Demon Race did not intervene.

It was as if they tacitly accepted the matter.

In truth, this was also related to the Immortal Emperor himself.

In the Qiankun Cave Heaven, the Divine Race, Demon Race, Phoenix Race, and Sea Dragon Race suffered too great a loss — every strong one above four-step King-Conferred was wiped out entirely.

But the Immortal Race's Immortal Spirit King was still alive and well.

Although the five of them had been prepared beforehand, seeing the Immortal Spirit King survive, the other four races inevitably felt some displeasure.

Therefore, they did not intervene in the Slay Dragon Army's attack on the Immortal Race.

It was a perfect opportunity to give the Immortal Race a warning.

But if the Immortal Race faced the danger of extermination, then the other four races would intervene.

This was something everyone knew full well.

And the Slay Dragon King knew it too, so he only continuously oppressed the Immortal Race.

Until the Divine Race and the others intervened.

The Immortal Emperor's expression was gloomy; in half a month's time, the Immortal Race had suffered devastating losses — King-Conferred Strong Ones alone had perished, no fewer than four or five.

Although they were all strong ones below four-step King-Conferred, for the Immortal Race, the losses were still extraordinarily devastating.

Boom!

The Slay Dragon King thrust out a punch, the azure dragon coiling around his fist as he forcibly shattered the void.

The Immortal Emperor's entire body was sent flying back dozens of kilometers in an instant.

The Immortal Emperor spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his gaze toward the Slay Dragon King filled with fury and a trace of... fear.

He had clearly entered the Emperor Realm before the Slay Dragon King, yet he was no match for him — this made the Immortal Emperor feel somewhat wretched.

The Immortal Emperor looked at the Slay Dragon King, a flash of resolve passing through his eyes.

"Slay Dragon King, you will not leave the Immortal Race today!"

The Immortal Emperor gave a low shout, his palm instantly pressing against the void. At once, in a corner of the Immortal Race.

Above the tranquil lake surface, waves suddenly surged.

Immediately after, a black silhouette shot out from the lake water in an instant.

"Heh heh heh, Immortal Emperor, have you finally thought it through!"

A figure as dark as mist appeared between heaven and earth, a pair of crimson eyes like those of the netherworld.

The Immortal Emperor's face turned pale as he looked at this person and spoke in a deep voice.

"Help me slay the Slay Dragon King, and the Immortal Race will use the power of our entire race to help you recover your cultivation!"

A mad light spread through the Immortal Emperor's eyes.

This was the Immortal Race's greatest secret.

Beneath the Immortal Lake, a strong one from the Realm Beyond Heavens was hidden. As for how powerful this strong one was, even the Immortal Emperor did not know.

He only knew that this person was severely wounded, and the energy within the Myriad Races Continent was insufficient for this person to recover.

They could only rely on the Immortal Race's power to recover bit by bit.

So many years had passed that the Immortal Emperor no longer knew how many generations had come and gone.

Yet this person still hid within the Immortal Lake.

The black mist looked at the Immortal Emperor, its crimson eyes flickering incessantly. Faintly, through the black mist, one could catch a glimpse of that frenzied expression.

"You've finally thought it through. Heh heh heh, in a mere abandoned land, who could possibly be my match!"

The black mist laughed loudly, looking toward the Slay Dragon King. However, the instant he saw the Slay Dragon King's eyes.

His expression instantly turned stiff.

"S-Sage!"

He looked at the Slay Dragon King in terror. He never expected that such a terrifying existence would appear in the Myriad Races Continent.

The Slay Dragon King looked calmly at the black mist, then suddenly smiled.

"So you're from the Nine Nether Hell... since we've encountered each other, come over then!"

The Slay Dragon King waved his great hand, and in an instant, an Azure Dragon roared as an extremely terrifying pressure swept out.

It even caused the entire space to thoroughly tremble.

The next moment, that domineering black mist was actually suppressed by the Slay Dragon King in an instant!

The Immortal Emperor watched the scene before him, a look of extreme terror revealing itself in his eyes.

"You... you... how is this possible!"

Beads of cold sweat fell from the Immortal Emperor's forehead.

The Slay Dragon King looked at the Immortal Emperor and coldly snorted, "Keep your life, and let that boy settle it himself!"

With that said, he slammed out a fist, directly blasting apart half of the Immortal Emperor's body.

Afterward, he waved his great hand.

"Slay Dragon Army, retreat!"

The countless Slay Dragon Army soldiers heard the Slay Dragon King's voice and instantly withdrew in an orderly manner.

They followed behind the Slay Dragon King, heading back toward Mie Long Cheng.

Inside Mie Long Cheng.

Within the palace halls.

The Slay Dragon King sat upon his throne, and with a wave of his hand, the black mist was released.

The black mist curled its body up, gazing at the Slay Dragon King with a face full of terror.

He had never expected that an invincible existence from the Heaven Beyond Heaven would actually appear in such an abandoned land.

"Zong Ming of the Nine Nether Purgatory... pays respects to the Holy One!"

The black mist said, trembling.

"Zong Ming? I seem to have heard that name. You are the previous King Yama of the Nine Nether Purgatory, are you not!" The Slay Dragon King looked at Zong Ming with a half-smile.

Zong Ming's body trembled slightly. He noticed the Slay Dragon King's gaze, and he felt that under this single look from the Slay Dragon King, everything about him was laid bare.

"I never expected that this lowly one would be noticed by the Holy One. This is this lowly one's great honor."

Zong Ming lowered himself extremely humbly, his heart filled with endless bitterness.

Back then, he had been gravely wounded and had fortunately survived by passing through a spatial rift into the Ancestral Land.

A powerful figure of the Immortal Race had saved him, and from then on, he had survived within the Immortal Race.

Previously, within the Heaven-Earth Grotto-Heaven, the methods used by the Immortal Emperor's avatar were actually taught to the Immortal Emperor by him.

He simply had not expected that in such an abandoned land, an invincible figure of the Heaven Beyond Heaven would actually appear.

He gazed at the Slay Dragon King with fervent eyes.

One must know that at his peak, even within the Central Immortal Domain of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, he had been a top-tier existence.

But compared to the person before him, there was still an insurmountable gulf between them.

The Slay Dragon King looked at Zong Ming, his fingers lightly tapping on the armrest of his chair. "I seem to recall that those from the Heaven Beyond Heaven should not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Ancestral Land."

Zong Ming's heart trembled slightly, and he hastily said, "I beg the Holy One to see clearly. Although I have hidden myself within the Immortal Race, I rarely interfere in the Immortal Race's affairs. It is always the Immortal Emperor who provides me with resources for healing, and I exchange them using some methods of my own."

He was terrified that the Slay Dragon King would suppress him directly.

The Slay Dragon King half-smiled. "I naturally know. Otherwise, with your methods, the Human Race would have already been destroyed."

Zong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, but the Slay Dragon King's voice soon rang out again.

"Since I have discovered you, hurry up and leave the Heaven Beyond Heaven."

Zong Ming hastily said, "Many thanks to the Holy One for sparing my life! This lowly one will certainly seize the time and leave the Heaven Beyond Heaven!"

The Slay Dragon King nodded slightly, looking at Zong Ming as if pondering something.

Zong Ming, being watched by the Slay Dragon King, did not dare to move an inch, terrified that any action of his might provoke this person.

"Before you go back, I have a task for you."

"What task?"

"Bring a person!"

Hearing these words, a look of astonishment appeared on Zong Ming's face.

Afterward, the Slay Dragon King told Zong Ming who the person was, and then let Zong Ming leave.

Watching Zong Ming depart, a trace of a smile appeared on the Slay Dragon King's face.

"My good disciple, your teacher has done you a massive favor—delivering your wife right to your mouth!"

In a room within Mie Long Cheng.

Wu Ling'er sat quietly cross-legged on the bed, her body radiating surging fluctuations.

During the half-month of the campaign against the Immortal Race, Wu Ling'er had become like a completely different person.

Through frenzied cultivation, she was now already a powerhouse at the Great Sun Grand Master level.

Suddenly, Wu Ling'er's eyes snapped open, and she looked out the window.

"Who's there!"

Wu Ling'er shouted explosively and blasted a fist toward the void.

However, the space merely fluctuated for a moment, and then a mass of black mist appeared before Wu Ling'er.

"It's you!"

Wu Ling'er looked at Zong Ming. Previously, when Zong Ming had been summoned by the Immortal Emperor, Wu Ling'er had naturally noticed this person.

But soon after, Zong Ming had been suppressed by the Slay Dragon King.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never expected it to actually be the legendary Heavenly Charm Body. No wonder the Holy One would have me bring you to the Heaven Beyond Heaven!"

Wu Ling'er's brows furrowed tightly. She did not know what Zong Ming was talking about.

And at this moment, Tang Nian Bing's voice also came from outside the door.

"Ling Er, are you there?"

In the next moment, the door was pushed open, Tang Nian Bing walked in, and at the same time, she also noticed Zong Ming's presence.

Immediately, a hint of hostility flashed across Tang Nian Bing's face.

"People of the Immortal Clan... courting death!"

A burst of cold air instantly radiated from Tang Nian Bing's body.

Zong Ming stared at Tang Nian Bing, and his body unexpectedly began to tremble.

A scorching expression appeared on his face.

"Xuan Ice Sacred Body! One Tianmei Body, one Xuan Ice Sacred Body, this abandoned place actually harbors such a fine seed!"

"Lord Saint truly does not deceive me!"

Zong Ming said excitedly.

Wu Ling'er and Tang Nian Bing were left a bit bewildered by Zong Ming's actions.

They exchanged a glance, both somewhat stunned.

Then, they saw Zong Ming looking at the two of them with a scorching expression, speaking excitedly.

"You two, would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Wu Ling'er and Tang Nian Bing exchanged a glance, each noticing the other's astonishment.

Heaven Beyond Heaven, Southern Region, Jiyuan City, Xu family.

Inside the Xu Family Library.

Su Yu slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant light bursting from within his pupils.

In Su Yu's chest, the red exquisite star ore vein had been drained to only one-fifth of its energy.

At this moment, Su Yu's cultivation fully reached the pinnacle of the Fourth Tier of the Heaven Realm.

He was only one step away from the Fifth Tier of the Heaven Realm.

Su Yu felt the surging energy waves within his body and gave a slight smile.

"Not bad, my cultivation not only recovered but also advanced a level; now the power of my domain can also manifest,"

"As long as I don't encounter a strong one from the Great Dao Realm, I am naturally fearless!"

A confident expression appeared on Su Yu's face.

When Su Yu first entered the Fourth Tier of the Heaven Realm, he could, by various means, hard‑counter a move from the Immortal Emperor.

It should be noted that the Immortal Emperor had been promoted to the Great Dao Realm for half a year.

He was not comparable to those who had just entered the Great Dao Realm.

Moreover, from his previous duel with Old Master Xu, Su Yu also discovered.

Strong practitioners of the Fifth Tier of the Heaven Realm did not seem that terrifying.

Now, Su Yu's cultivation possesses the full pinnacle of the Fourth Tier of the Heaven Realm, and even the Great Wilderness Sky Devouring Technique has risen to the Sixth‑grade Daoist Art level.

The Nine-Dragon Heavenly Sword has also reached the Sixth‑grade Dao Technique level.

If he plays all his trump cards, under the Great Dao Realm, no one can match Su Yu!

Even in Heaven Beyond Heaven, Su Yu holds such confidence!

Su Yu gave a faint smile and glanced at the little Azure Dragon still sleeping in his pocket.

After half a month of extremely dense energy nourishment, the little Azure Dragon's aura began to surge continuously.

Now it already possesses the cultivation of the Third Tier of the Heaven Realm.

Compared with before, it has improved greatly.

Su Yu gently touched the little Azure Dragon's head, his expression tender.

"Little guy, I truly look forward to the day you fully awaken!"

Su Yu stood up, just as he was about to leave the Library, a pleasant voice came from outside.

"Young Master Su, today is the recruitment day of Azure Dragon Hall; I wonder if Young Master Su is interested in going with me to watch?"

The voice belonged unmistakably to Xu Yourong.

Outside the Library, Xu Yourong said somewhat nervously.

In half a month, with Old Master Xu's help, Xu Yourong completely rose from the pinnacle of the Earth Realm to the First Tier of the Heaven Realm.

With such cultivation, even among all the youths of Jiyuan City, no one could match Xu Yourong.

And today is the recruitment day of Azure Dragon Hall, so they naturally also had to go.

But for some reason, when passing the Library, they inexplicably asked something toward the interior of the Library.

Su Yu listened to Xu Yourong's voice.

"Azure Dragon Hall? The top‑tier force of the Four Great Domains of Heaven Beyond Heaven?"

"Somewhat interesting!"gΟиЪ. ōΓＧ

Su Yu's mouth twitched slightly, interest stirring in his heart.

Outside, Xu Yourong waited without receiving Su Yu's reply, feeling a bit disappointed.

Just as they were about to leave, the Library's main door behind them swung open.

Su Yu, in a flash of white robes, stepped out, a smile as gentle as a spring breeze on his lips.

"Then let's go together!"

Seeing Su Yu's demeanor, Xu Yourong couldn't help but become a bit dazed.

A flush of red quietly rose onto their cheek.

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly sprang up from the bed. Please,

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest

Confused and unable to understand, various emotions surged in his heart.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, then became even more bewildered.

A single-person dormitory?

Even if he successfully got rescued, he should now be in the hospital ward.

And his own body… how could he have no injuries at all?

Filled with doubt, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally settling on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was quite handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him！，Read the latest chapter content free of ads

His previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties with an extraordinary bearing, and he had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is just that of a high school student…

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Whatever you do, don't tell him the surgery was very successful…

His body and appearance have changed; this is no longer a matter of whether or not he had surgery, but rather immortal arts.

He actually completely turned into another person!

Could it be… that he has time-traveled?

Besides the mirror placed at the head of the bed with obviously bad feng shui, Shi Yu also discovered three books nearby.

Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly left him silent.

"New Beast Keeper's Essential Beast-Raising Manual"

"Postnatal Care for Pet Beasts"

"Guide to Evaluating Beast-Eared Girls of Different Races"

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books are still normal, but what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze tightened, he reached out, but his arm soon stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged forth like a tide.
