253: Netherworld Instance

During this period, Xu Qing also summoned the other three Heavenly Armies.

In half a month, the total number of soldiers in the ten Heavenly Armies surged to over eighty million, with the lowest Cultivation being Grand Saint Perfection. All ten Divine Marshals of the Heavenly Armies were promoted to Heavenly Kings, and some Divine Generals also Broke Through to Heavenly Kings.

The number of Heavenly Kings in the ten Heavenly Armies reached one hundred and thirty-four, among which the Cultivation of the ten Marshals reached above Third-Rank Heavenly King. Marshals Shang Zhang and Efeng were even Fifth-Rank Heavenly Kings, which meant they were at the Five-Step Quasi-Emperor Realm!

"Go! In the entire Blood Fiend Ghost Prefecture, whether it's the Ghost Race or other Corpse Races, either surrender or die!"

"Level this land and make this territory a source of soldiers for our Family."

Xu Qing brandished his sword again, commanding the Heavenly Army!

The ten great Heavenly Armies surged with Killing Intent, charging in ten directions. They unconditionally obeyed Xu Qing's orders, even unto death.

"Ding! The Heavenly Dao is incomplete, and the heavens and earth are flawed because there is life without death. All spirits in the heavens and earth have birth and destruction; there should be an order of Reincarnation for survival and destruction. Congratulations to the host for opening the path to conquering the Netherworld and triggering a special mission!"

"Ding! Conquer the Netherworld, open the Reincarnation Realm, unblock the Nether Yellow Springs passage, rebuild the authority of the Underworld, and give the departed souls of the world a chance at Reincarnation!"

"Mission One: Conquer the Netherworld. Mission progress: 0.0006%! Note: For every 1% completed, the System will provide corresponding family points, with a certain chance to trigger special rewards!"

"Mission Two: Conquer the ten great realms of the Netherworld and open the Reincarnation Realm! Reward: Ten billion family points, and a mysterious gift package!"

"Mission Three: Unblock the Nether Yellow Springs passage and rebuild the authority of the Underworld! Reward: nether heaven key, and the Human Book of Life and Death!"

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow. "There's such a good thing?"

"0.0006%? I just destroyed six cities. Could it be that one ghost city is 0.0001%?"

"Interesting!"

Since Xu Qing was going to continue expanding anyway, he was naturally happy to keep fighting!

"nether heaven key! Is it another one of the Nine Heavens Keys!"

Xu Qing looked at the last mission, his brows furrowed!

The reason he wasn't Cultivating properly, but instead waging war against the Myriad Races and the Netherworld simultaneously, was Yang Heaven's words, which made him feel extremely insecure.

The Chess Player was the greatest fortune, so whose fortune was it? It was certainly not the Chess Player's own, because he was merely that fortune, not the one who obtained it.

Yang Heaven's words were a warning to Xu Qing: the so-called 'jumping out of the chessboard to become the Chess Player' was actually jumping into a smaller, more desperate chessboard!

Thus, he had the idea of unifying the Lower Realm.

Attacking the Myriad Races was the Divine Court's God-Creation Plan. The Power Of Faith was very mysterious; it could continuously provide Cultivation nourishment for the gods. If the Dao had not been hidden, the Five Ancestors would have already been Emperor Realm existences.

The Golden Great Era was about to arrive, and the Dao would appear. The Divine Court's God-Creation Plan, sustained by the Myriad Races, would inevitably create many Emperor Realm powerhouses, and possibly even existences above the Emperor Realm!

As for the journey to the Netherworld, it was a means for Xu Qing to counterbalance the Divine Court or suppress rebellions by the Myriad Races.

The countless Ghost Race beings in the Netherworld were Xu Qing's armory, capable of continuously providing him with Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who would only obey his mission.

And all these methods were merely to enhance his own foundation and cope with the unknown dangers.

"Roar!!!"

A roar erupted from an ancient Ghost Race clan with a long Legacy.

A ghost-like demonic ape, with fierce eyes and black mist swirling around its body, transformed into a black lightning bolt, streaking across the sky and charging towards the Heavens.

"Evil creature! Seeking death!"

"Thunder Annihilation!"

Rolling thunder sounded in the Heavens, and an ultimate bolt of lightning, like an apocalypse, struck down!

"Pfft!"

With just one encounter, the Annihilation Thunder shattered the Ghost Demonic Ape's skull, green blood gushed out, and it instantly died.

Even a powerful Three-Step Quasi-Emperor was no match for the existence above the Heavens. For a time, the great clan below was terrified.

"The Ghost Demonic Ape Clan, stubbornly resisting, by the command of my Lord, slaughter the clan!"

From above the Heavens, a majestic voice spread in all directions.

"Rumble!"

A Heavenly Army of ten million appeared, quickly engulfing the area. A Ghost Demonic Ape Clan with a population of ten million became a thing of the past, leaving only bloodstains everywhere. All Physical Bodies and sacred souls were taken away.

On the other side!

"Fire arrows!"

In an ancient ghost city, the City Lord roared hoarsely. All Ghost Race archers drew their bows to the sky, and arrows imbued with ominous Qi whistled upwards.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Above the Heavens, runes intertwined, and gusts of fierce wind swept down, rolling all the arrows back. The dense arrows covered the sky and earth.

"Not good!"

The City Lord's expression changed, and he activated a great formation, attempting to block them.

"Boom!"

A divine spear was thrown from the Heavens, piercing through layers of the Void Realm, striking the great formation, and instantly penetrating it!

"Ah!!!"

Screams rose and fell in the city. Tens of thousands of miles of land collapsed due to the divine spear, and swathes of Ghost Race beings were killed by the lightning on the divine spear.

At the same time, the reversed arrows also fell into the city through the opening, taking away unlucky Ghost Race beings one by one.

Several hours later, this giant city of hundreds of millions of Ghost Race members became ruins. Soaring resentment filled the region for hundreds of thousands of miles and did not disperse, as if narrating the tragic events that had just occurred.

"How could outside beings suddenly descend?"

"Damn it! We've always been the ones invading other races; when have we ever been invaded by other races?"

"I'm not reconciled!"

Some Ghost Race beings were crying out in grief on the ruins. In just a few days, many Ghost Race cities and tribes had been attacked. Those who surrendered were relatively well off, with over eighty percent of their Saint King and above powerhouses conscripted.

Those who stubbornly resisted were directly massacred and their clans annihilated.

This was a catastrophe that swept across this land. The Nether Yellow Springs were stained red, and for hundreds of millions of miles, dozens of ethnic groups were completely wiped out.

The catastrophe of the Blood Fiend Ghost Prefecture was still spreading, and this time, the Heavenly Army also gained many surrendered ethnic groups!

"Charge over there, let this land be stained with ghost blood. To the outstanding ones among you, this Marshal will grant you a quota, allowing you to join the Heavenly Army and live forever!"

Marshal Efeng roared at the Ghost Race army behind him.

"What?"

"Gagaga!"

"Kill!"

The surrendered Ghost Race army was excited and completely rioted. They had witnessed the might of the Efeng Heavenly Army these past few days. Those Heavenly Soldiers whom they thought had died would revive the next moment.

This miraculous immortal body made them extremely envious. Now that they had the opportunity to join the Efeng Heavenly Army, it would undoubtedly be a great fortune.

For a time, various roars filled the air, and the Ghost Race army surged like a flood, rushing towards the Ghost Race territory ahead.

"Roar!!!"

A lion-headed ghost shadow roared, and the next moment, it transformed into a black mad lion, charging towards a small city with a population of a million.

The once prosperous ghost city instantly became ruins. As far as the eye could see, resentment soared, and there were only scattered bones.

Further away, many tribes were also being torn apart as time passed... The other nine Heavenly Armies also received this news and simultaneously commanded the Ghost Race army to attack!

In just three months, led by the ten great Marshals, the Heavenly Army rampaged across this territory, conquering one Ghost Race city after another, and annihilating one stubbornly resisting great clan after another.

This caused blood to flow like rivers throughout the entire region, and resentment surged!

Looking around, the towering ghost mountains had all collapsed, and the surging great rivers had changed course under immense force. Everywhere were ruined walls and broken bones!

If such a disaster occurred in the Yang Heaven, there would still be a chance to become ghosts. But if such a thing happened in the Netherworld, then not even ghosts could be made!
