The terrifying forces of the underworld, a war is about to begin!
The Netherworld is the kingdom of spirits of the dead.
The Yang Realm has the alternation of the sun and moon, with the light of the scorching sun illuminating all things, bestowing life upon them.
The Netherworld is a place completely different from the Yang Realm; the sun's light cannot reach here, and only dim moonlight eternally exists, with Netherworld Devilish Qi like clouds, enveloping the sky.
Only by Cultivating in such an environment can ghost Cultivators thrive, using the Moon Essence Qi illuminated by the moon to Cultivate, absorbing the extreme Yin Qi of Heaven and Earth to nourish themselves.
With the foundation laid by Jiang Qing beforehand, the Netherworld's order is well-structured and not connected to the Yang Realm.
With a well-defined order governing it, the Netherworld has not experienced major conflicts over two millennia of development, thus every ounce of its power has been completely preserved.
There are reception envoys responsible for guiding Souls from various parts of the Battlefield of the Heavens to the Netherworld; after tens of thousands of years, the Netherworld's development has been rapid and prosperous.
Looking out, a large number of powerful ghost Cultivators live within the Netherworld, forming a complete civilized order under the rule of the Underworld Court.
Fengdu City.
It is the first city within the Netherworld, built under Jiang Qing's leadership.
This is the center of the Underworld, gathering the most powerful forces in the entire Netherworld.
Jiang Qing copied the Underworld's Rank system from the Honghuang World, establishing the Netherworld's hierarchy.
Within the Underworld.
The highest-ranking individual is the Great Emperor of Fengdu, a position Jiang Qing holds himself.
Below him, two Star Spirits also hold the Rank of Great Emperor, serving as the Yin and Yang Emperors; when Jiang Qing is absent, they are the Dominators of the entire Netherworld.
Below the Yin and Yang Emperors are the Five Ghost Emperors; these five positions are the pillars of the Underworld and are extremely important.
The Yin and Yang Emperors do not directly manage affairs, so the Five Ghost Emperors are the most important leaders of the entire Underworld Court; moreover, upon assuming the position of a Five Ghost Emperor, one can gain the Netherworld's world will and Luck blessings, allowing their Cultivation speed to increase dramatically.
Therefore, the appointment of the Five Ghost Emperors is crucial, as these five positions can Cultivate supreme powerhouses for Jiang Qing, second only to the two Heaven and Earth Spirits.
Purple Crystal Spirit Flame, Nine Heavens Star Lightning, Earth Vein Golden Fire, and Emperor Grade Immortal Tree—all four were naturally formed beings taken under Jiang Qing's command when he created the Netherworld, and were directly appointed by Jiang Qing as the Four Ghost Emperors.
The last Ghost Emperor was filled by the Heaven and Earth Strange Spirits, “Netherworld Ghost Flame,” which Jiang Qing found during this deployment.
Tens of thousands of years have flown by, and with the Netherworld's world will empowering them, the Cultivation progress of these five has been incredibly rapid.
The Emperor Grade Immortal Tree successfully crossed the Bottleneck of the Martial Lord Realm, becoming a first-tier powerhouse under Jiang Qing, reaching the Martial Immortal Realm.
The most ancient strange fire, “Earth Vein Golden Fire,” reached Peak Martial Lord, while the other three also reached the mid-tier Martial Lord Realm; all Strange Spirits achieved a major stage Breakthrough in their strength, becoming second-tier powerhouses under Jiang Qing.
Among them, the Netherworld Ghost Flame progressed the fastest because it was originally a strange fire born in extremely cold places, whose nature perfectly matched the Netherworld; thus, its speed surged after gaining the Netherworld's will blessing.
At this time, Netherworld Ghost Flame's Cultivation is at the high-tier Martial Lord level, and in terms of combat power within the Martial Lord Realm, it is only inferior to Peak Martial Lords like Earth Vein Golden Fire.
If it were in the Netherworld, with the Netherworld's will enhancement, Netherworld Ghost Flame's strength could surpass Earth Vein Golden Fire, reaching a level of invincibility below Martial Immortal, and in a full-effort state, it could even contend with a Martial Immortal.
Below the Five Ghost Emperors are the Ten Halls of Yama; this branch of power consists of the Netherworld's indigenous forces, all of whom became ghost Cultivators after their Souls, as powerhouses from various Myriad Realms, were guided into the Netherworld and Cultivated the Ghost Dao.
Every one of the Ten Halls of Yama is a master of Ghost Dao Cultivation, having crossed the barrier of the Martial Emperor Realm to reach the Martial Lord Realm, making them third-tier powerhouses under Jiang Qing.
Below the Ten Halls of Yama, there are no more powerhouses in the Martial Lord Realm, but the Ten Ghost Marshals are all at the high-tier Martial Emperor Rank, and their subordinate ghost Cultivators are countless.
The Myriad Realms are a place of extreme chaos, and the one thing they do not lack is Souls.
With supplies from the Myriad Realms, from the Ancient Era until now, tens of thousands of years have passed, and a large number of ghost Cultivators have gathered within the Netherworld; ghost Cultivators of all Ranks are countless, and in terms of overall strength, they can overwhelm the current Myriad Realms.
The Netherworld, combined with the Hundred Races beings in the Purple Lightning Remains, is a force sufficient to crush the invasion of disaster beings; however, Jiang Qing temporarily does not know the power levels of other worlds outside the Myriad Realms and cannot compare them.
But according to the various clues currently obtained, the overall world level of the Myriad Realms is inferior to the Honghuang World; there might be powerhouses at the Thirteenth Realm who can rival Quasi-Saints, but there will be no existences like Heavenly Dao Saints.
This is the limitation of the macroscopic world; nothing can exceed this limitation.
Therefore, as long as Jiang Qing has enough Martial Immortal powerhouses under his command, unifying the great worlds outside the Myriad Realms is not an idle boast.
Soon...
Jiang Qing thought to himself.
He has already accumulated two massive forces, and after some time, Jiang Qing's forces will only grow larger, eventually reaching a level capable of unifying all great worlds.
Withdrawing his Divine Sense that was observing the Netherworld, Jiang Qing sat down cross-legged and began his Martial Dao Cultivation.
Devilish Qi churned, and a large amount of Heaven and Earth energy, along with the Devilish Qi, surged into Jiang Qing's Physical Body; for a moment, his Qi and blood boiled.
...
Late at night.
A magnificent and spectacular pillar of light erupted from within the Human Race city wall.
A Divine Might pervading Heaven and Earth covered the entire sky, and the phantom of the Time River gradually descended; as the phantom of the Time River appeared, boundless Dao Rhyme diffused with it.
Within the pillar of light, a figure stood majestically, and overwhelming Emperor Might spread outwards, causing everyone to feel an extreme sense of suppression.
The Breakthrough at the Emperor Realm level brought forth astonishing blessings.
During the Breakthrough process, the Heaven and Earth energy within the Human Race territory of the entire North Demon Battlefield surged dramatically, subsequently giving rise to many rare treasures.
Heaven And Earth Treasure grew in hidden places, ordinary plants transformed into spirit plants after being cleansed by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and every Human Race member within the Human Race territory benefited from this.
The Heaven and Earth energy cleansed their bodies, and the Cultivation Aptitude of all Human Race members received a significant enhancement.
Feeling the intense fluctuations from the outside world, Jiang Qing's mind stirred, and he left the Purple Lightning Remains to arrive in the present world.
Gazing at the sky, Jiang Qing saw the appearance of the Breakthrough individual within the light.
As expected, it was Zhang Xian who was breaking through to Martial Emperor.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Qing immediately activated the psionic battle armor on his left wrist, and the purple battle armor covered his entire body like a stream of light.
The moment the light dissipated, a full set of psionic battle armor was already donned.
Jiang Qing got up and headed to the Divine Martial Army camp to mobilize the army.
Unlike a Breakthrough at the Martial Saint Realm, a powerhouse at the Martial Emperor Realm is already the Peak combat power in this world; the alien races naturally would not allow Zhang Xian to Breakthrough easily.
They would inevitably launch an attack tonight, attempting to severely wound the Human Race.
