363: Chapter 363 Nine Netherworld Pride Technique

In the Martial Arts Arena, there was first a deathly silence.

It was so quiet a pin drop could be heard; even the breathing of the crowd seemed to have stalled—only the pressure of the Underworld King that Li Jiuyou was continuously emitting surged wantonly between heaven and earth, and no one dared to block it.

Then, this silence was completely torn apart, transforming into a frenzied wave like a volcanic eruption, sweeping in all directions!

Greed, like a poisonous snake, crazily gnawed at everyone's heart, the longing in their eyes almost turning into substance, crimson as blood.

Jealousy burned, scorching everyone's eyes red and incinerating their minds; they wished they could take his place and make Li Jiuyou's Opportunity their own.

Madness brought their sanity to the brink of collapse, staring fixedly at Li Jiuyou in the arena, staring at that mysterious figure standing indifferently in place—eyes surging with extreme desire.

There was even a thick, unmelting killing intent quietly permeating from the various Sect Elders and top experts, condensing into tangible cold light, locking onto the center of the Martial Arts Arena like sharp knives—

Such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity, such a supreme Legacy, such an unfathomable Revered Master—who wouldn't covet it?

Who wouldn't want it?

For the sake of all this, even if it meant becoming enemies with that unfathomable mysterious expert, even if it meant triggering a catastrophe in the Northern Region and turning heaven and earth into scorched earth—they would not hesitate!

If it could be said that before, the Cultivators still held three parts fear and seven parts caution regarding Luo Xiaojiu's Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Origin and Chu Changsheng's Nine Nether Yellow Spring Divine Water.

But at this moment—in the face of the overwhelming temptation of the complete Ten Fiends Treasure Technique, the rationality in everyone's hearts shattered, and the awe of the Half-Step Immortal was ground into powder.

Even the fear buried deep in their marrow was burned away by the heaven-scorching greed!

Ten Fiends Treasure Technique!

This was a true primordial Heaven-Defying Legacy, a complete, supreme treasure technique that resonated with the Laws of heaven and earth!

Obtain it, and one could push across the eight wastelands and ten thousand domains; peers would be mere ants, and even veteran powerful figures could use it to rise against the heavens.

Comprehend it, and one could step across the threshold of the Immortal Dao, peeking into the supreme Dao that billions of Cultivators dreamt of their whole lives!

Such fortune was enough to make prestigious Sects tear up alliances and turn hostile, make Loose Cultivator experts take risks and fight for their lives, and make the powers of the entire world stir up a storm of blood—

Even if it meant being smashed to pieces and having their Divine Souls extinguished, not a single person was willing to retreat!

"Roar—! Hand over the Ten Fiends Treasure Technique!"

A wild roar shook the heavens, causing the Void Realm to ripple layer by layer. A disheveled expert in the Undergoing Tribulation stage had eyes as red as the blood fires of purgatory, violent Spiritual Qi surging from his body into the sky, turning into a monstrous gale—he was the first to lunge toward Chu Changsheng and the others!

"It's mine! The complete Ten Fiends Treasure Technique should belong to me!"

Another figure tore through the sky, a Saint-Grade Magic Treasure in hand blooming with ten thousand feet of cold light. He did not hesitate to burn his own Origin blood essence to activate a secret technique, his figure turning into a stream of light—all to be the first to touch that Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

"Kill! Slay them, seize the fortune, and tread the Immortal path!"

Roars echoed across the heavens, and countless crimson gazes, like hungry wolves locking onto lambs, were glued to Chu Changsheng, Li Jiuyou, and Luo Xiaojiu.

The greed and madness in their eyes almost solidified, as if they wanted to devour the three of them alive.

The various experts, who had previously been restrained by their respective powers and mutual checks, now completely tore off their hypocritical disguises, each one like a bloodthirsty shark that had smelled blood, carrying an aura of destruction—rushing toward the three of them like madmen!

Even the Elders of the Xuantian Sect had only thick, unmelting greed in their eyes; where was the camaraderie of fellow Disciples? Where was there any concern for the Sect's reputation?

Just a moment ago, they were loudly shouting about "cleaning up the Sect," but now the desire in their eyes was more intense than any Loose Cultivator—

Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Origin, Nine Nether Yellow Spring Divine Water, complete Ten Fiends Treasure Technique—three Heaven-Defying Opportunities gathered on these three people; this was a heaven-sent Opportunity that even the founding Ancestral Master of the Xuantian Sect had never encountered!

Above the void, the phantom of the Xuantian Sect Ancestor stood frozen.

His originally steady aura was now boiling violently, and the surging power of the Laws caused the surrounding Void Realm to constantly collapse and reform, and the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth stalled because of it.

In those eyes that could pierce through eternity and see through the Laws of heaven and earth, the initial shock and caution had long since vanished—replaced by a near-maniacal, scorching greed.

Greed was like a wildfire, burning his pupils red, and even the halo of Laws surrounding him was dyed a dazzling scarlet.

Desolate Ancient Sacred Body Origin—could be used for Possession to re-cultivate and forge an indestructible body for all eternity.

Nine Nether Yellow Spring Divine Water—could cleanse the Divine Soul, break through cultivation bottlenecks, and Heaven-Defyingly extend Lifespan.

Not to mention that complete Ten Fiends Treasure Technique—it was enough for him, a Half-Step Immortal, to take that final step, truly knock on the door of the Immortal Dao, and achieve the status of a True Immortal!

Any one of these was worth risking his life for—let alone all three gathered on these three wet-behind-the-ears juniors?

"A heaven-sent Opportunity! Heaven helps my Xuantian Sect! This is a sign of my Xuantian Sect's rise!"

The Old Ancestor's voice rolled like thunder, carrying irrepressible excitement and bone-chilling killing intent, exploding in every corner of the Xuantian Sect territory:

"All Disciples, hear my command! Activate the Sect-protecting Formation—the Xuantian Immortal-Slaying Array! Seal the heavens and earth, isolate the eight wastelands!"

"Today, these three, and all the fortune on them—none shall escape! Leave them all behind!"

As the last word fell, it struck everyone's hearts like a thousand-catty hammer. The entire Xuantian Sect territory suddenly changed color, the sun and moon lost their light—heaven and earth seemed to be turning upside down!

"The Xuantian Immortal-Slaying Array?!"

A series of terrified roars erupted from the crowd, and countless gasps intertwined, freezing the surrounding Spiritual Qi.

A powerful figure in purple robes staggered back three steps, the blood draining from his face entirely, and he exclaimed in shock, his voice trembling uncontrollably:

"Is that the legendary Saint-Grade killing Formation that once used a sword to suppress and kill a true 'Pseudo-Immortal'? The Xuantian Sect is actually willing to use such a bottom-of-the-box trump card!"

"More than just suppressing and killing a Pseudo-Immortal!"

Another white-haired, knowledgeable old Loose Cultivator had a face as pale as paper, his lips trembling, speaking so fast the words almost blurred together, he roared in a low voice, his eyes full of despair:

"Legend has it that three thousand years ago, an extraterrestrial demon expert crossed borders, their aura already approaching the Void Immortal realm. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew, bones became mountains, and they wanted to blood-sacrifice the billions of living beings in our Nanzhan Continent!"

"It was the founding Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect at that time who, without hesitation, burned his own Dao foundation and thousand years of Lifespan to forcibly activate this array—drawing upon the power of billions of starlight rays from the Nine Heavens, mixed with the nether killing intent from deep within the earth, condensing a 'zhuxian sword Qi' that spanned heaven and earth!"

"It forcibly ground that extraterrestrial demon to death within the array, their Divine Soul completely dispersed! Even the Evil Path Immortal Artifact they carried was slashed apart by the sword Qi and turned into dust! After this battle, the fierce reputation of the Xuantian Immortal-Slaying Array shook the eight wastelands and six unions, passed down through eternity!"

"A Saint-Grade Formation... this is a terrifying killing Formation that truly touches the edge of the Immortal Dao; it is simply not something human power can resist!"

A Sect Head of a medium-sized Sect collapsed in mid-air, the Sect's supreme treasure in his hand almost falling.

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with bone-deep despair and awe, his voice weak but every word sharp as a knife:

"Once this array is fully deployed, it will form its own world, isolating heaven and earth, with no passage inside or out—no matter what escape techniques or Magic Treasures you have, you won't be able to fly out!"

"The Laws of heaven and earth within the array will be forcibly altered, and the rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi will be drained and refined, turning into bone-eroding, soul-burning Evil Qi of the Immortal-Slaying!"

"Ordinary Cultivators only need to inhale a wisp, and their Meridians will break, their Primordial Spirit will melt—they won't even have a chance at Reincarnation!"

"There are also infinite killing tribulations evolving in the array, zhuxian sword Qi, Nine Heavens Lightning Fire, Nether Chains... each is a Saint-Grade power, unavoidable and unstoppable!"

"Look! The heavens and earth have been sealed!"

Someone pointed to the high sky, letting out a sharp, distorted scream, the fear in their voice almost overflowing.

I saw that the originally clear sky with white clouds was now completely covered by a gray light curtain with a cold metallic luster—inscribed on the light curtain were countless ancient and mysterious runes, and as the runes flowed, they emitted a heart-palpitating aura of death and destruction.

These runes were like living things, constantly moving and intertwining, and vaguely, the phantoms of billions of stars were slowly rotating behind the light curtain.

Every star emitted a terrifying pressure that extinguished everything—as if with a slight tremor, it could grind all living beings below into powder.

And beneath the earth, there came a dull roar like the roar of an ancient giant beast.

Array patterns, pitch-black as ink and emitting the bone-chilling cold of the Nine Nether, spread out from the ground like poisonous snakes leaving their holes, crisscrossing and rising step by step—finally connecting perfectly with the gray light curtain above the sky.

Forming a huge, airtight cage, trapping the entire Xuantian Sect territory, and all the Cultivators within it—all trapped inside!

The air became heavy and viscous at this moment, like solidified lead and mercury—pressing so hard that the Cultivators couldn't breathe, and even raising their hands felt extremely difficult.

The rich Spiritual Qi that originally filled the heaven and earth was being crazily extracted, refined, and converted by the great array at a terrifying speed.

Finally, it turned into a strange gray-red Evil Qi—as the Evil Qi surged, it carried a thick, nauseating scent of blood and an aura of destruction, wandering wantonly in the array.

Wherever it passed, even the Void Realm was corroded into little black holes, sizzling.

A few low-level Loose Cultivators who were closer and couldn't retreat in time accidentally inhaled a wisp of the gray-red Evil Qi—and immediately let out heart-wrenching, miserable screams!

Blood mist instantly burst from their pores, and their skin rotted and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The whole person seemed to be heavily crushed by an invisible giant force, and the crisp sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

In just an instant, they turned into a pool of foul-smelling blood, seeping into the earth.

Even that faint light of the Divine Soul could not escape before being instantly swallowed by the Evil Qi—not even a trace was left!

"Evil Qi devouring the body! The Xuantian Immortal-Slaying Array has started to operate! We can't escape!"

Panic, like a deadly plague, spread crazily among the crowd.

Wherever it passed, hearts were filled with panic—cries, screams, and desperate roars intertwined, forming a hell on earth.

"Xuantian Sect! Are you going to... refine all of us together in the array? F!"

A Cultivator roared in collapse, his eyes bloodshot, acting like a madman—the look in his eyes when he looked at the Xuantian Sect members was full of monstrous resentment and bone-deep fear.
