285: Chapter 285 War Fortress, Golden Lotus Seed, Chaos Gods and Demons

Solar System, Human Federation.

Watching his two Disciples depart for other planetary Systems to expand their living space, Wang An's true body gazed at the massive black object in the outer orbit of Blue Star, which was currently absorbing the Transcendent Metal being transported from all around.

This gigantic metal structure did not have the sharp, angular shape typical of ordinary interstellar warships; instead, it resembled a hemispherical interstellar fortress.

Sensing the Yin Spirit thought located in the starry sky that was overseeing the interstellar fortress, he gained an understanding of the general project progress.

At this moment, the massive fortress—which even the largest interstellar spaceport on Blue Star could not accommodate—officially utilized the "Stellar Furnace" and "Activated Law Metal Source" that had been captured previously.

This was a second-order top-grade interstellar War Fortress jointly designed by Wang An's Yin Spirit thought and Ling Ming, incorporating the technological advantages of three high-order civilizations.

In addition to possessing the inexhaustible energy provided by an entire star, the activated Law metal atoms of this War Fortress acted like the top-tier Law source of a mechanical modification System. They could eliminate the need for many war fortress components that would normally require special, critical, large-scale dedicated equipment to manufacture, and the construction speed far exceeded that of current conventional shipyards in the Milky Way Galaxy.

The only help the entire Human Federation could provide was the continuous transport of first-order or higher Transcendent Metal from three Transcendent planets.

These first-order Transcendent Metals were only used to construct ordinary parts inside the War Fortress; what truly maintained the entire War Fortress were the second-order or higher Transcendent Metals he had previously captured or purchased.

After personally using his Divine Thought to check the construction status of the entire War Fortress and confirming there were no major issues, Wang An returned to his place of seclusion. His Yin Spirit flew out of his physical body and immediately used the status of Lord of the Netherworld to pull himself into the Netherworld Realm.

At this time, the area of the Netherworld Realm had basically covered half of the Solar System.

Of course, distinct from its special dimensions, even those Transcendent Life currently far away in the Proxima Centauri System could enter the Netherworld Realm through the Netherworld Edict, though it would just take longer to enter.

Although it had not reached the level where one could enter in real-time from anywhere, if there was an emergency that required contact, communicating through the Netherworld Realm was still a viable method.

After all, even with current communications at ten thousand times the speed of light, there was still a three-to-four-hour delay between the Solar System and Proxima Centauri.

Wang An entered the Netherworld Realm. At this time, the entire realm was connected by the Yellow Springs River, covering the territory of Yin Soil and Black Mountains, presenting a scene of orderly arrangement.

Returning to Mount Luofeng, he walked into the backyard behind the "Zhoujue Yin Heavenly Palace."

The lotus platform of the "netherworld reincarnation lotus" had already produced a Netherworld lotus seed glowing with purple-gold radiance. Interwoven upon it were various Laws and imagery, including Yin Souls, ghosts, Yellow Springs waters, Yin Soil, Black Mountains, and Heavenly Palace judgments. It was a Golden Nature lotus seed condensed from countless Laws belonging to the Netherworld.

Unlike what Wang An cultivated personally, these Netherworld Laws were essentially condensed by the Netherworld Realm itself and gathered within the netherworld reincarnation lotus.

Even the current Wang An could not directly refine and use the complex Law information it possessed.

He could only use the status of "Lord of the Netherworld" to borrow the Golden Nature, comprehend the various Laws within it, and eventually transform them into his own Daoist cultivation.

Thinking of this, Wang An looked at the other two Golden Nature seeds that were about to condense; they represented the Golden Nature Laws related to Reincarnation and Rebirth.

He withdrew the Yin Spirit thought that was maintaining the balanced operation of the entire Netherworld together with the "netherworld reincarnation lotus," and with it came a large amount of Law information related to the Netherworld, Reincarnation, and Rebirth.

Until he felt that this information might interfere with the comprehension of other Laws, he separated this Yin Spirit thought again and re-injected it into the now-calm "netherworld reincarnation lotus."

After the routine process was completed and he confirmed that there was nothing to handle on the side of his Divine Path Incarnation, just as he was preparing to return to the mortal world, a terrifying Purgatory Ghost Fire ignited outside the Netherworld Realm, covering half the sky of the Netherworld Realm in just a moment.

Seeing this, Wang An's eyes flickered slightly. He connected with the status of "Lord of the Netherworld," descended with the super-high perspective of the Dominator of the Realm, and observed and investigated the situation outside the realm.

He saw that the crack from which demons had been constantly pouring out had now expanded to more than three times its original size.

A massive palm carrying otherworldly Devilish Qi reached through the crack toward his Netherworld Realm, wreathed in Purgatory Ghost Fire with a Law intensity that reached at least the Profound Truth level.

The demons that had been lingering outside the realm were instantly transformed into Fire Demons the moment they touched this Purgatory Ghost Fire, fueling its momentum.

Seeing that the other party had ill intentions, Wang An did not waste words. As long as the other party was not a high-order existence, no one within the Solar System could defeat him head-on.

The status of "Lord of the Netherworld" radiated purple-gold light, descending into Wang An's Yin Spirit. The Divine Path Incarnation of Emperor Fengdu instantly merged with him, and his Divine Path body was draped in imperial robes formed from Laws.

His million-zhang holy Dharma manifestation appeared from within the realm.

A heavenly voice resounded throughout the entire Netherworld Realm: "Yellow Springs River, come!"

The Yellow Springs River, which had been flowing quietly throughout the entire Netherworld Realm and connecting all directions, boiled incessantly. Countless ferry boats on the heavenly river were cast off, and the power of the Law contained within, which could annihilate Souls and eliminate emotional desires, surged into the sky.

A surging great river rushed out from the entire Netherworld Realm, instantly dousing the Devilish Qi and flame-covered palm that was about to touch the realm.

The conflicting Laws touched and immediately dissolved.

The Purgatory Ghost Fire was extinguished, revealing the otherworldly Devilish hand beneath the ghost fire, and the power that could shatter Souls, break bones, and corrode everything instantly eroded it.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the otherworldly Devilish hand, suppressed by this, immediately tried to retract.

The next moment, a black Flying Sword carrying Thunder Execution Sword Intent and the Golden Purple Mansion Divine Ability "Autumn Chill Intent" struck down.

The entire demonic, sinister, and vicious demon palm was instantly severed.

On the other side of the black crack, a shrill scream rang out, followed immediately by a Soul voice: "I will return!"

As the demon palm fell, the Yellow Springs River swept over it, and the forces of the three Hells—Ice, Fire, and Thunder—instantly divided and digested the otherworldly Laws carried by the demon palm.

In the status of "Lord of the Netherworld," information about the owner of the demon palm was immediately fed back.

[Chaos God and Demon]

That's right, the opponent was a Chaos God and Demon named Purgatory Ghost King; to be precise, it was a second-order limit Ghost King that had mutated during the process of Soul fragments re-gathering after the death of a Chaos God and Demon.

However, even if it was just a Ghost King that carried who knows how many millionths of the high-order status of a Chaos God and Demon, it still carried a portion of that Chaos God and Demon's information.

This Chaos God and Demon mastered the "Devil Fire" Law, capable of turning all living beings in the world into demonic offspring, and finally harvesting all living beings with terrifying Devil Fire, demonizing the entire world to become its habitat or reserve food.

This was the Chaos God and Demon—searching for worlds of living beings within the infinite Chaos, feeding on the living beings of the world.
