Chapter 524: Wild Words

What on earth is a Nether Fire Match?!

Cang Ming seemed to have heard the greatest joke in the world; the baleful aura surging around him even stalled for a moment.

He stared fixedly at Hua Changxi, laughing out of extreme rage: "Do you think you can deceive this King by playing the fool?"

He had originally intended to directly behead this human and then take all the supplies on her.

But the arrival of the Nightmare Tapir had exposed this fellow's identity, and in this way, the news that the Nether Fire Match was on her could no longer be hidden.

Now, even if he eventually obtained the Nether Fire Match, once he left the Five Directions Great Array, he would become a target for all the forces of the Nine Netherworlds, facing a series of troubles.

"You must be very proud, riding the Nether Deer and swaggering right under our noses to snatch the key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm, right?"

Hua Changxi raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

The key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm...

In the memories of Lady Chi Yan, there was indeed no information regarding the Nether Fire Match.

However, there was some information regarding the Nine Nether Soul Realm.

The Nine Nether Soul Realm was a secret realm nurtured by the Soul River, famous for its abundant soul power; it was an excellent place for strengthening souls and cultivating primordial spirits.

The key to the Nine Nether Soul Realm was condensed from the origin of the Nine Netherworlds, with one key condensing every thousand years; each key could open the Nine Nether Soul Realm nine times, and it would weather away and dissipate on its own once the uses were exhausted.

'A key only condenses every thousand years...'

No wonder the powerhouses of the Nine Netherworlds fought so fiercely for it!

Cang Ming looked coldly at the silent Hua Changxi: "Hand over the Nether Fire Match and the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Soul Heart Fruit, and this King will give you a decent way to die."

This time it was Hua Changxi's turn to act as if she had heard a great joke, and she laughed out loud: "Kill me? Do you think you have the ability?"

Hearing this, Cang Ming's expression sank abruptly.

Before he could speak, Hua Changxi said first: "Cang Ming, I don't think you want the Nether River clan to change its Crown Prince, do you?"

"Only one person can survive in the Five Directions Great Array at the end. I can responsibly tell you that with me here, you will absolutely not be that surviving person." Hua Changxi's tone was firm and forceful.

Once these words were spoken, not only Cang Ming, but even the other observers outside the array could not help but look sideways.

Nine Nether Powerhouses: Arrogant!

Human Powerhouses: Domineering!

Ignoring Cang Ming's ugly expression, Hua Changxi continued to propose a suggestion that no one had ever thought of, nor dared to think of.

"How about this: you and I join forces to break this Five Directions Great Array, and then you take the Nine Nether creatures, I take the human cultivators, and we all get out alive, how about that?"

Hearing this, both inside and outside the array, the crowd boiled over.

Inside the array, the Nine Nether creatures and human cultivators, who had thought they were doomed, were first stunned and shocked, and then became excited because they had a hope of living.

Outside the array, whether they were Nine Nether powerhouses or human powerhouses, they all felt that Hua Changxi was wildly out of line!

The Five Directions Great Array was a seventh-grade trap array; since it was first set up, there had never been a record of it being broken.

Legend has it that in ancient times, a Daoist Lord was trapped in it, and in the end, he waited for the Nine Passes Auction to open again, and after the auction ended, he slaughtered all the trapped personnel to escape as the 'last living person' in the array.

Although the powerhouses could not detect Hua Changxi's realm, judging by the fact that the recovery of spiritual energy in the Nine Netherworlds was one step faster than in the human world, even if she were a peerless human genius, her realm would at most be the Spirit Condensation Realm.

There was no other reason; the Nine Netherworlds had not yet produced an Imperial Realm (Human Out-of-Body Realm) powerhouse, so it was even more impossible for there to be a higher-level powerhouse in the human world.

With such strength, how could she break the Five Directions Great Array that even a Daoist Lord could not break!

Even Wei Zhenjie felt that Hua Changxi was 'speaking wildly'.

"Heh~"

Cang Ming sneered.

Seeing this, Hua Changxi frowned: "What are you laughing at?"

Cang Ming felt he had seen through Hua Changxi's intention—she wanted to protect the human cultivators within the array!

But he was determined to make her watch with her own eyes as those human cultivators died one by one in front of her, grinding her hope into dust.

Cang Ming looked abruptly at the Nine Nether creatures and shouted coldly: "What are you still stunned for? Aren't the souls of human cultivators fragrant? Go, slaughter all the humans, leave none alive."

Uh...

Because of Hua Changxi's previous 'wild words—getting out alive together', the Nine Nether creatures did not obey Cang Ming's order immediately.

The trapped Nine Nether powerhouses like Gui Che were even more motionless, watching coldly from the sidelines.

There was no other reason; with Cang Ming there, even if they won the group battle against the humans, they would not be the ones to get out alive in the end.

This was also why, when Cang Ming and Hua Changxi were fighting, the Nine Nether creatures did not immediately attack the human cultivators, but chose to watch the battle.

Whether Cang Ming was injured affected the tactics of Nine Nether powerhouses like Gui Che.

Seeing the Nine Nether creatures not moving, Cang Ming was so angry he wanted to stomp his feet.

"Idiots!"

"You are actually stupid enough to believe the words of a human?"

"Nether River clan, listen to my order: immediately exterminate the human cultivators, leave not a single piece of armor! Those who disobey will have their souls scattered!"

Under Cang Ming's accumulated prestige, the creatures of the Nether River clan dared not have the slightest disobedience, and immediately let out a roar, charging towards the human cultivators.

With them leading the way, the other Nine Nether creatures, after a brief hesitation, also swarmed towards the human cultivators like sharks smelling blood.

After all, the souls of human cultivators were truly fragrant, and having a full meal before dying was also good.

The group battle between the Nine Netherworlds and the human world broke out instantly!

In an instant, earth-shattering shouts tore through the sky, and brilliant spiritual power collided and annihilated with filthy turbid energy.

The roar of explosions, the sharp whistling of magic treasures, and the wails of the dying were mixed together, completely turning this world into a Shura battlefield where flesh and blood flew.

Hua Changxi stood at the edge of the Soul Domain, watching the tragic scene before her, the purple light in her eyes becoming increasingly eerie, and something began to quietly sprout in her heart.

Watching this massacre, Cang Ming hooked his lips into a cruel and triumphant arc.

Especially after seeing Hua Changxi's ugly expression, he became even more triumphant.

This was the effect he wanted.

When it came to the instinct for slaughter, Nine Nether creatures were far superior to human cultivators.

At first, Nine Nether powerhouses like Gui Che did not join the battlefield, but as the Nine Nether creatures began to suppress the human cultivators, they moved.

Gui Che Mo Xiao joined the battlefield and immediately transformed back into his nine-headed demon body.

Nine heads hissed in unison, and an invisible ripple of soul power swept out; wherever it passed, the souls of human cultivators were hit hard, and a large area fell instantly.

Afterwards, every time Gui Che dived, the nine heads would move together, and each time they would devour nine human cultivators.

Those nine heads were like nine bottomless pits, greedily devouring everything, making a hair-raising chewing sound.

Just as Gui Che charged towards a defensive array maintained by dozens of people, Hua Changxi 'whooshed' and flew out of the Soul Domain.

Once she left, the Soul Domain lost its supply of soul power. Cang Ming, who had been ready to go, saw a fierce light in his eyes and spared no effort to drive the Nether River Water Domain.

"Boom~"

The Nether River Water Domain turned into a monstrous giant wave, slamming fiercely against the boundary of the Soul Domain.

The giant wave hit the soul barrier, making a deafening sound; the soul barrier shook violently, and cracks appeared on the surface, spreading like a spider web.

"Boom~"

When the third wave of the Nether River hit the soul barrier, the Soul Domain collapsed with a bang, turning into dots of light in the sky and dissipating into the air. ===== CHAPTER 525 =====
