Chapter 1586: Underworld

The Underworld!

This place is shrouded in Darkness year-round, with only some stones emitting an eerie fluorescence, occasionally dotted by flickering ghost fires.

Ning Bizhen wears the Ancestral Phoenix Cloud Robe, treads upon the Candle Dragon Origin-Returning Boots, holds a phoenix-headed staff in her right hand, and rides a Demon Emperor Level Di Ting, with a large number of strangely dressed creatures behind her.

The Di Ting gathers the images of all beasts into one body, concentrating the merits of all things; it has a tiger's head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon's body, a lion's tail, and Qilin feet, and it can identify all things in the world through listening, being especially adept at hearing the inner thoughts of people.

This is also a Temporary Spirit Pet that Ning Bizhen tamed after entering the Underworld, and it is precisely because of the Di Ting's familiarity with the Underworld that she was able to become familiar with the Underworld in the shortest possible time.

In this one month, Ning Bizhen not only became initially familiar with the Underworld, but also, relying on the Di Ting's familiarity with the Underworld, made all nearby forces submit with overwhelming momentum in a short time, thus becoming a new, major force in the Underworld.

Among these forces subdued by Ning Bizhen are the Wuchang Tribe, the Ox-Head Tribe, the Horse-Face Tribe, and others; among them, there are indeed over a dozen Demon Emperor Level beings, but there is no existence at the Emperor Rank.

Ning Bizhen's sphere of influence is called Liren Ferry; although it covers a vast area, it is known for its lack of resources.

The Underworld is notoriously chaotic, with constant wars, but precisely because resources are scarce, the attention of major forces is mainly focused on places rich in resources.

Therefore, Liren Ferry has always been relatively peaceful, truly attracting many small forces and small tribes to settle there.

It was not until Ning Bizhen descended upon Liren Ferry that she quickly integrated the forces of Liren Ferry with irresistible power and rapidly invaded the nearby Earth Realm, wanting to unify the Underworld.

Regarding the task of unifying the Underworld, Ning Bizhen does not feel worried; she is very confident in her own strength and intends to unify the Underworld with upright and honorable momentum.

Even if an accident occurs, Ning Bizhen has a foolproof method to save her life, not to mention that she has Li Zhangsheng as her backing.

The reason Ning Bizhen is so urgent is mainly for Li Zhangsheng, hoping to unify the Underworld as soon as possible; when the time comes, as long as the Three Realms are unified, Li Zhangsheng can also take the opportunity to become the Sovereign of the Three Realms, exerting Pressure over the Three Realms.

Thus, in just one month, Ning Bizhen not only integrated the forces of Liren Ferry but also brought several nearby Earth Realms into her pocket.

After this, Ning Bizhen encountered a Coalition Army composed of three major forces, but she easily crushed them with absolute strength, and two Emperor Rank Divine Beasts fell in the process.

As major forces of the Underworld, every one of them possesses Emperor Rank Divine Beasts; these Divine Beasts, like the Di Ting, are basically of the Darkness attribute and are suitable for surviving in an environment like the Underworld.

With the end of this battle, Ning Bizhen's great name spread throughout the Underworld in just one night, causing the masters of the other major forces to be shocked and dismayed.

Given that Ning Bizhen is too powerful, much stronger than any single major force, these masters of major forces have had to put aside their hatred and begin to form alliances to jointly resist Ning Bizhen.

Gazing at the hostile forces hidden in the black mist in the distance, Ning Bizhen muttered to herself: "This should be the last great battle!"

Ning Bizhen did not just let these major forces unite; before they united, Ning Bizhen had been attacking, weakening the enemy while constantly strengthening her own forces.

By the time the remaining enemies had all united, Ning Bizhen already occupied 1/3 of the Underworld.

Although most of the territory is relatively lacking in resources, there is no shortage of cannon fodder; Ning Bizhen does not have high expectations for them, only needing them to hold off the opponent for a period of time.

Among these united major forces, there are a total of six Emperor Rank Divine Beasts, which are the Taotie, Taowu, Dark Unicorn, Dark Nightmare Beast, Zhengning, and One-Horned Smoky Beast.

Among them, the Taotie and Taowu belong to Top-tier Divine Beast races and both also belong to two of the Four Great Fierce Beasts.

The greatest characteristic of the Taotie is that it likes to eat and is not picky; it eats almost everything—it eats the sky, the earth, and the air. Its image is very simple: just a mouth and a big head. Legend has it that because it could eat so much, it ended up eating everything, and in the end, only itself was left, so it ate its own body, leaving only a head and a mouth.

It can be said that the Taotie is a symbol of Greed, having reached a state that is indescribable and incomprehensible.

The Taowu looks like a tiger, with a human face, tiger feet, and pig tusks; in short, it is as fierce as can be. It has two major personality traits: one is arrogance and cruelty, and the other is being difficult to train, so it is also called "Arrogant and Cruel." It does not submit to royal transformation, does not listen to advice, is unruly, and no one dares to provoke it.

Besides them, there is also the Ashura Tribe, which is also a major group in the Underworld.

The Ashura Tribe grows up in the Xuehai; the males are all exceptionally burly, immensely strong, and good at fighting. The females are beautiful in appearance and graceful in posture.

Even if they die and fall, the Ashura Tribe can still return to the Xuehai to return to their origin, which has led to the Ashura Tribe's fierce reputation spreading far and wide; they are extremely persistent and make people feel annoyed beyond measure.

The Ashura Tribe possesses a peculiar method of body tempering, but it must be supplemented by the fierce and baleful Qi in the Xuehai, which is also the fundamental reason for their bellicose and bloodthirsty nature.

This time, the Asura King personally went into battle; this is an existence whose combat power is enough to rival an Emperor Rank Divine Beast, and he even possesses the supreme treasure of the Ashura Tribe.

This means that if the Asura King is counted, it is equivalent to seven Emperor Rank Divine Beasts.

Besides them, these forces have brought out all their elites; Ning Bizhen is coming aggressively, and in order not to give Ning Bizhen the opportunity to unify the Underworld, they have had to rise up and resist.

In general, they have all been fighting east and west for many years, and naturally, they all have the idea of becoming the master of the Underworld and do not want to be taken away by others at all.

Not long after, the two armies faced each other; for a time, the sky and the earth on both sides were filled with nearly boundless figures, so many and so vast that there must have been a million of them.

Since she knew that this battle was unavoidable, Ning Bizhen gave up the idea of communicating with the other side.

In her view, there was absolutely no need for verbal sparring, because in the face of absolute strength, all Wangliang will end up in ashes.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Soon, under the orders of the high-level officials on both sides, the two sides began to engage in close-quarters combat.

There is no fertile soil for battle formations in the Underworld; after all, every creature here possesses supernatural power, and there are countless unruly creatures; even if one spent effort, it would be impossible to maintain ranks.

For a time, the entire battlefield looked quite chaotic, almost becoming a situation of fighting on one's own, but the seven major forces were more numerous, and if it continued, it was only a matter of time before Ning Bizhen's side was defeated.

In the sky of the Underworld, Ning Bizhen faced the six Emperor Rank Divine Beasts and the Asura King alone; even though she was surrounded by them, her momentum did not fall behind at all.
