146: Don't blame me for saying "hehehe" to you, Junior Brother

I don't know how much time had passed.

Su Xiaobai frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

"You're awake." A weak voice came from beside him.

Su Xiaobai sat up and found Nine Nether Great Emperor sitting cross-legged opposite him.

However, at this moment, his aura was ethereal, exuding a sense of decline, like an old man with one foot in the grave, as if he could pass away at any moment.

"What happened to you?" Su Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.

Nine Nether Great Emperor waved his hand, "My time is running out. There are some things I must tell you."

Su Xiaobai paused, then looked at him with a serious expression: "Please speak."

"I injected the power of this wisp of my remnant soul into your body to help you suppress Purple Demise Devil Emperor.

But... I am, after all, just a wisp of a remnant soul, worn down by time, with little power left. The remaining power can only suppress her for five hundred years."

"You must at least achieve the Immortal King Realm within five hundred years to contend with her and prevent her Possession," Nine Nether Great Emperor said in a deep voice.

A deep sense of solemnity appeared between Su Xiaobai's brows. Achieving the Immortal King Realm in five hundred years could be said to be unprecedented.

One must know that Nine Nether Great Emperor, who was before him, despite how astonishing he was back then, still took a full ten thousand years to Cultivate to the Immortal King Realm!

Five hundred years, the difficulty is imaginable. This is no longer something that can be decided by talent; it also requires a great Opportunity.

(Supplement: The Myriad Realms are composed of many planets, and these planets are called 'Realms'. The world the protagonist is currently in is one of the Myriad Realms.

And the strength of the Immortal King Realm is equivalent to the Lord of a Realm, similar to the Heavenly Dao, and it cannot be an ordinary star realm! So it is very difficult.)

"I know this is very difficult, even a bit demanding, but... this is the only way to save you," Nine Nether Great Emperor said softly.

Su Xiaobai quickly cupped his hands and sincerely said, "Thank you, Nine Nether Senior, for saving me. I am eternally grateful."

"The world is constantly changing, full of Weird. After millions of years of peace, the Myriad Realms are probably falling into internal strife again, having long forgotten the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's covetous gaze," Nine Nether Great Emperor's tone revealed a deep sense of melancholy and helplessness.

He looked at Su Xiaobai: "If you can achieve something in the future, could I ask you to protect the sentient beings for all eternity?"

"..." Su Xiaobai frowned tightly, not answering immediately.

"Alas, forget it. My wishes should not be forced upon others." Nine Nether Great Emperor sighed, then stretched out a finger, and a golden light enveloped Su Xiaobai.

"This is?"

"This is a supreme Legacy, which can increase your Cultivation speed in a short time. This is the last thing I can do for you." His voice became weaker again, and his figure blurred, as if he could dissipate at any moment.

Su Xiaobai looked at him with a complex expression. He could see that Nine Nether Great Emperor had dissipated too much energy, and this last wisp of remnant soul... probably wouldn't last much longer.

Nine Nether Great Emperor seemed to notice his emotions and chuckled, "There's no need to feel sad for me. I was already a deceased person; now it's just dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

You should Cultivate with peace of mind. The Secret Realm can still last for half a year. How much you can grow depends on yourself."

"...Understood." Su Xiaobai nodded deeply, then closed his eyes and entered a Cultivation state.

On the other side, Black Abyss, who had been unconscious for ten days, had just woken up and saw a skeleton talking to Su Xiaobai, his face filled with horror and confusion.

At this moment, Nine Nether Great Emperor's gaze also turned to him.

Black Abyss immediately stood up, his eyes vigilantly fixed on him, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Since you remained until the end, it is also fate. Come with me." Nine Nether Great Emperor waved his hand.

Black Abyss only felt the surrounding scenery change, and he arrived inside an ancient stone chamber.

"This last Legacy, keeping it would be a waste, so I'll give it to you."

He lightly tapped his fingertip, and a wisp of golden light shot towards Black Abyss, enveloping him just like Su Xiaobai.

Black Abyss felt the immense Opportunity within the golden light, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly bowed to Nine Nether Great Emperor in excitement, "Thank you, Senior!"

To be honest, he was still a bit confused.

He had been trapped in the purple gourd by Su Xiaobai until recently, and he hadn't had time to do anything, yet someone inexplicably wanted to give him a Legacy. It was simply too easy to obtain.

But when he felt the exquisiteness and domineering nature of this Legacy secret method, he immediately beamed with joy; everything else became unimportant!

He now only wanted to calm down and focus on Cultivation!

Nine Nether Great Emperor's gaze, however, passed through the Void Realm and fell back on Su Xiaobai.

"Has this action of mine truly cultivated a new Heavenly Emperor for the Myriad Realms, or a Devil Emperor who will slaughter living beings?"

...

In a flash, half a year passed.

During this half-year, a major event that shook the Desolate Continent occurred.

Profound Moon Sect launched a war of extermination against Ghost Gate Sect.

It was said that it was because Black Abyss, a Disciple of Ghost Gate Sect, ambushed Wang Shouyang, the Young Lord of Xuan Yue Dao Sect, in the Secret Realm, and used despicable means to snatch his position as the first arena champion.

But in fact, everyone who came out of the Secret Realm knew that in that battle, Wang Shouyang was defeated by Black Abyss in a crushing manner. If he hadn't used his vital blood to escape at the end, he would have probably died at Black Abyss's hands.

However, no one dared to speak the truth because in that earth-shattering battle, Demon Shadowless, the Sect Master of Ghost Gate Sect, was severely wounded by Wang Shouyang's Dao Protector—Qing Shou—with a single strike!

Now, the entire Ghost Gate Sect is holed up within their sect-protecting formation, not daring to take a single step outside.

With Qing Shou, an expert at the Late Stage Void Soul Realm, and the inherent deterrence of Profound Moon Sect, no one in the entire Desolate Continent dared to speak the truth.

(Review!!!: Qi Refinement Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Core Formation Stage, Nascent Soul Stage, Infant Transformation Stage, Void Soul Realm...)

Wang Shouyang had been waiting outside the Secret Realm for Black Abyss to emerge, but everyone who came out said that he was captured by a monstrous Demonic arm and became the vessel for the other party's Possession.

Not being able to personally tear Black Abyss apart made Wang Shouyang feel greatly displeased.

But the person was already dead; the next time he saw him, it probably wouldn't be him, but the mastermind who had Possessed him.

However, his anger needed an outlet, so he aimed his wrath at Ghost Gate Sect. It was just a branch of Ghost Gate Demon Sect; did they really think he would be afraid of them!

In just half a year, Ghost Gate Sect's Disciples suffered heavy losses, and their numbers were reduced by a third.

Inside the Secret Realm.

"Hoo..." Su Xiaobai exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

He opened his eyes, which had been closed for half a year, and a sharp glint reflected in his gaze.

"Core Formation Late Stage." He felt the condition of his body. The Golden Core in his Dantian was already very solid, with nine Dragon patterns lifelike, like true Dragons.

"With my current strength, I am unmatched in the Core Formation Stage. Even against an ordinary Early Stage Nascent Soul, I have the power to fight!" He squeezed his palm tightly, as if he could crush the Void Realm.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Dongfang Qian Yue, "She also received a Legacy. I wonder what level she can reach?"

As if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, revealing a mischievous smile: "Don't tell me she's still only Early Stage Nascent Soul. Then she won't be able to suppress me, and then Junior Brother won't be to blame for 'hehehe'ing..."
