Chapter 477

After the Underworld King's body burst open, the alien insects parasitic on its soul reappeared: "Damn, this body is actually..."

Before he could finish, Tu Shengtian slashed again with a blade: "Almost forgot you, slash!"

With one strike, the alien insects' souls scattered and dissipated, the Underworld King's soul showed a look of relief; it had finally been freed!

The Underworld King gratefully glanced at Tu Shengtian and Feng Qingyang ahead: "Thanks to you all for helping me break free."

After saying that, its soul became increasingly illusory, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

"Be careful..."

"Shut up," Feng Qingyang interrupted, simultaneously his thoughts moved and the power of the formation enveloping heaven and earth gathered in his hand.

With a flick of his sleeve, the mighty formation power surged toward the Underworld King's soul.

Under the bolstering of the formation power, the Underworld King's soul, which was about to dissipate, began to gradually solidify, its aura surging!

"Alright, you can continue."

The Underworld King stared blankly: "What... what is this?"

"Cut the nonsense, get to the point, what should we be careful of?" Feng Qingyang's eyes turned cold.

Back in the original timeline, this Underworld King always hemmed and hawed, never getting to the point, it's maddening!

"Yes yes yes! Be careful..."

"Shut up! You wretched creature!"

The Underworld King hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted again...

Feng Qingyang frowned tightly, this damn critical moment always drops the ball?

As his words fell, ripples spread across the previously calm void, like stones tossed into a lake.

Immediately after, four figures emanating a terrifying aura slowly appeared.

These four all wore resplendent golden robes, as if merged with heaven and earth, exuding endless dignity and domineering presence.

One of them, with slightly dark skin, gripped a tremendously stout immortal black-iron whip. The whip was pitch-black, flashing with cold light, like a ferocious giant dragon, inspiring dread.

Another had a fair complexion and refined bearing, holding a peculiarly shaped immortal umbrella; his every movement seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

The other two, one bearing a long sword on his back, the other holding a pagoda, each emanated an unparalleled powerful aura.

They were all tall and mighty, with solemn and grave expressions, like deities descending upon the world.

"Underworld King, your Netherworld Immortal clan colluded with foreign insects to invade my Tianyu Immortal Realm; this crime deserves your soul to be scorched by karmic fire for eternity!"

The pagoda-bearing figure among the four glanced down coldly and spoke.

"Immortal Surveillance Pavilion, four golden-rank inspectors!"

"Sir... Sir! It's them!"

"They are the ones secretly directing my Netherworld Immortal clan to cause trouble here!"

The Underworld King hid behind Feng Qingyang and the others, trembling as he pointed at the four figures in the void.

"Immortal Surveillance Pavilion? Inspectors?" Feng Qingyang paused upon hearing this; indeed, the matter behind it was not simple.

"Sect Master, according to my knowledge, the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion is touted as the strongest force under the Immortal Emperor's power, with dozens of supreme god monarchs seated within, its internal ranks intricately divided."

"Each god monarch oversees large numbers of bronze-, silver-, and gold-rank inspectors, whose cultivation levels correspond respectively to Immortal King, Immortal Emperor, and Immortal Venerable."

Tu Shengtian beside him clasped his hands, as a seventh-rank gold-star elder of the Elder's Office; information from the sect's dark tower is first delivered to him, and important matters are then reported by him to the Sect Master.

"Hmph! Even at death's door you dare to slander my Surveillance Pavilion; your crime is aggravated!"

Upon hearing this, the four in the void curled their lips in faint disdain, then they simultaneously attacked.

"Destroy!" A roar rang out, and an enormous immortal black-iron whip, like a giant dragon, tore through the air, bringing endless pressure down in a vicious strike.

Where it passed, space twisted, heaven and earth were forcibly split apart!

"Control!" At the same time, the white-robed umbrella-wielder lightly flicked, the immortal umbrella opened with a sound, instantly releasing an utterly terrifying annihilating force from within, like a torrential flood pouring down.

"Slash!" The sword-bearer's thought moved, the long sword on his back flew out on its own, turning into a peerless sharp sword light, carrying terrifying sword energy as it swept down.

"Approach!" The final pagoda-bearer softly chanted, the pagoda in his hand immediately began to expand, in the blink of an eye becoming towering into the clouds, as if it could contain the whole heaven and earth!

"Lord! Sect Master!"

Xiao Bai, the Black Emperor, and Tu Shengtian, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward: "Dare to attack our master, you're courting death!"

The Underworld King trembled as he retreated to the rear, shielding everyone before him: "Sir, keep it up!"

Yet facing the four in the void whose attack could destroy heaven and earth, Feng Qingyang didn't even blink, merely exhaling a single word: "Scatter."

As the word left his lips, an invisible terrifying force seemed to materialize out of nowhere, hurtling straight toward the void.

Boom! A tremendous collision sound rang out!

Boom!

The four great treasures were instantly blown away, and the four inspectors in the void also suffered collateral damage, crashing down in a sorry state.

This is the divine ability rewarded for completing the main quest of attaining venerable status in the Tianyun Dao region: "Word Follows Law."

This law is chiefly for slaughter, limited to combat, and the target cannot be more than one major realm above the caster.

This also confirmed Feng Qingyang's suspicion: "The parallel spacetime in this illusion is incomplete; all cultivators here are one major realm lower than in the original timeline."

Just looking at these inspectors, we know their Immortal Venerable level corresponds only to Immortal Emperor in the original timeline.

"Cough cough! Who are you? I, the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion, have never heard of you while monitoring the three great Dao realms."

After the four inspectors scrambled up from the ground, their eyes widened, and they no longer bore the earlier arrogant look.

"I get it! You're the outsiders mentioned by Lord Ye of the Moon Immortal Palace!"

Upon hearing it, Feng Qingyang's purple pupils twitched: "Outsiders?"

To be fair, his statement was actually correct.

Our Azure Cloud Sect, including all cultivators who entered the illusion, are considered outsiders to this spacetime.

Seeing Feng Qingyang silent, the pagoda inspector assumed he was right and continued: "The Moon Immortal Emperor senior has issued an order to exterminate you outsiders throughout the realm; you won't last more than a few days!"

"You talk too much," Feng Qingyang thought, and the four great overseers ahead turned into blood mist.

Seeing this, the already trembling Underworld King grew even more afraid: "Are these people from outside the realm?! No wonder they're so strong!"

"Come here," Feng Qingyang seized the Underworld King and pulled him over, asking, "You said you were sent by the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion, you Netherworld Immortal Clan? It's them that I should be wary of?"

The Underworld King trembled and replied: "Yes, yes, it's them, sir."

Since the two timelines are very similar, even in the original timeline, if not sent by the Immortal Surveillance Pavilion, they are still inseparably linked to them.

The doubts in his heart were finally resolved.
