262: The Nine Netherworlds have no gate, and all realms return to nothingness.

Youxu Ghost City.

This ancient city had sunk into the Nine Nether and then reappeared; the sky was just barely beginning to brighten.

Su Feixue stood tall in the sky, her Divine Sense spread out to its absolute limit.

“It can't be... how could he not come out! Lu would never!”

She murmured softly.

“Bang!”

Suddenly, a war spear pierced through from the distance, shattering the sky with unparalleled terror.

The spear struck like a Dragon, aiming straight for Su Feixue's throat.

“Bang!”

A black lotus emerged, blocking that terrifying spear strike.

An exquisitely beautiful figure appeared.

“Where is he?!!!”

“Why hasn't he appeared!”

Di Qingli questioned sharply.

“I don't know!”

“I don't know why, but at that moment, his immortal bone suddenly transformed, drawing upon the Great Dao of Reincarnation. I thought he would be forcibly sent out just like me!”

Su Feixue's response lacked any Aura.

She didn't understand either!

Why had everyone else appeared while that guy was still nowhere to be seen.

“The sun rises high, yet the Nine Nether has no gate!”

“You lost him!”

“Is this what you meant when you said you loved him?”

Di Qingli barked coldly.

She had finally made up her mind to snatch him from their hands, and as a result, the person was gone.

The entire Ghost City had emerged from the Nine Nether, but he hadn't.

“Please calm down, both Fairies. I believe the Young Master should be fine,”

the Heavenly Horned Ant said as he rushed up from below.

“Did you see him?”

Di Qingli turned her head to glance at him, asking icily.

She only wanted to see the person!

“Uh... no. The pressure released by that terrifying existence was too overwhelming.”

“We couldn't even move!”

“But the Young Master's situation at the time involved his entire body being upheld by the Great Dao of Reincarnation; he likely disturbed some other great horror of the Nine Nether.”

“When we returned to the Ghost City, the commotion over there was even more frightening. It must have been an even more powerful person taking action.”

The Heavenly Horned Ant was somewhat uncertain.

At that time, everyone was struggling to save themselves, and even moving was a luxury; he wasn't clear on Qin Wushang's exact situation either.

“You're just guessing!”

“Humph!”

“Su Qingjue! You really are useless! To be so helpless in such a situation!”

Di Qingli snorted coldly.

“Heh... perhaps... but do you think you could have endured it in the face of that pressure?”

Su Feixue sneered.

Imperial Might—never mind that this was just a Clone, even if it were her main body, she would have been powerless.

Of course, if her main body were present, she would have fought for it.

With the help of the Soul Banner, she would have at least a ten percent chance of winning.

“You say that was a Great Emperor... impossible. At most, it was pressure formed by borrowing the Dao of the Nine Nether World!”

“If it were truly a Great Emperor, why would they need to devour the blood and Qi of Nine Nether creatures?”

“What you saw definitely had issues; you were all deceived by that pressure.”

Di Qingli speculated.

The order of the Nine Nether had collapsed, and the destination for Reincarnation no longer existed; she didn't believe a Great Emperor would appear in such a place.

Su Feixue thought for a moment, her gaze suddenly turning cold.

“Is there a way to go back?”

she asked, her voice carrying a hint of pleading.

“Are you begging me?”

“Is this your attitude when asking for a favor?”

Di Qingli sneered, sizing her up, wanting to see if she would bow her head for that man.

“If you can take me back to the Nine Nether, what does it matter if I beg you?”

Su Feixue replied in kind.

She wasn't stupid; Di Qingli also cared about that guy. If there were a way to go back, she would definitely say so.

Even if it required her to plead, she would do it.

She only feared that Di Qingli didn't have the means to return to the Nine Nether and was just making her lower herself for nothing.

She knew this woman too well!

The other party was entirely capable of doing such a thing.

“The sun rises high... the Nine Nether has no gate. We can't go back; everything depends on him now.”

“To be honest, you're not worthy of him. In that situation, you were actually willing to be sent away without using the power in your body to interrupt the process.”

Di Qingli mocked.

What right did such a woman have to compete with her for a man?

“I didn't!”

“My main body was injured, and the power in my body couldn't be invoked. There was nothing I could do!”

Su Qingjue retorted.

With the main body having issues, her own Clone was also significantly affected; it really wasn't that she didn't want to act.

There simply was no way!

“Main body injured? Do you think this Empress would believe that?”

Di Qingli looked completely skeptical.

“Believe it or not!”

Su Feixue turned and left.

Since there was no way to take her back into the Nine Nether, there was no need for her to waste time... The central region of the Desolate Realm.

This was a boundless expanse of ruins that had stood for ages, known as the Desolate Realm's forbidden land. For ten thousand years, few living beings had dared to set foot here.

But since the Prodigies from the outside world had flooded in, this place of death had become a hotbed for risking lives to seize Opportunities.

Countless Cultivators had perished under invisible Restrictions, paving a path to enlightenment with their flesh and bones.

Only then was a shortcut to enlightenment provided for those who followed.

Upon the ruins stood densely packed Dao platforms, each one surrounded so tightly by meditating beings that not even water could trickle through.

These miracles, revered as Great Dao Platforms, were supreme sacred lands for comprehending the Laws of heaven and earth.

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, a Dao platform erupted with dazzling flames. The intense firelight swept in all directions, scorching the Void Realm until it distorted.

The wild laughter of a young man resounded through the clouds.

“I did it! Hahaha! This Daoist Master has done it!”

“The Law of Fire! This Daoist Master has finally fully comprehended it!”

Almost simultaneously, a Dragon's roar shook the heavens from another direction.

A lightning flood dragon with shimmering scales soared into the sky, the Yin and Yang Qi intertwining and surging around its body, transforming into a torrent of Dao charms that covered the sun.

It raised its head and hissed, its voice shaking the universe.

“The Law of Yin and Yang! This Saint spent nine months and finally achieved Major Achievement! This trip was not in vain!”

Such visions continued to appear, as divine light shot up from the Dao platforms, with cheers and wild roars intertwining.

More and more beings comprehended Laws, stepping into higher Realms and undergoing transformations.

Just then!

“Rumble!”

A massive sound that pierced through heaven and earth exploded, and the firmament was forcibly split open with a huge crack!

Within the pitch-black void rift, an ancient giant bronze gate slowly emerged.

Obscure Dao runes were inscribed upon the door leaves, and Nether Ghost Qi swirled around it, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

The hearts of all living beings shook; they immediately looked up, their eyes bursting with fervent light.

“What is that?”

“It's a gate! Could it be an immortal gate leading to ancient ruins? Has a Secret Realm appeared?”

“The Desolate Realm has countless Opportunities; many small Secret Realms are hidden within the spatial turbulence! It's not surprising for a small Secret Realm to appear in this land of infinite divine miracles!”

“Pay attention! Brothers! Such a heavenly phenomenon must be accompanied by a supreme Opportunity! Everyone, stay sharp and prepare to fight for it!”

“Interesting! So this land of Great Dao Platforms actually hides such a world-shaking secret treasure!”

“I just arrived, and I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing... It truly is the favor of the Heavenly Dao!”

A woman watched, her beautiful eyes filled with fanaticism.

A Secret Realm meant Opportunity; they had come from the outside world specifically to compete for the Opportunities of the Desolate Realm.

Countless greedy gazes were locked tightly onto that giant gate.

Some impatient Prodigies couldn't hold back, letting out a loud shout as they charged straight toward the sky.

“This Saint wants to see what kind of ghostly thing is hidden inside this broken gate! Let's see if it's the so-called immortal palace ruins!”

He reached out a palm toward the giant gate, his palm wind carrying the vast Law of Gold, intending to force it open.

But at the very moment his palm was about to touch the gate... “Buzz!”

The giant gate trembled slightly, and an Aura that could destroy heaven and earth suddenly erupted. With just one shock, it sent that Prodigy flying back ten thousand yards!

Immediately after, the giant bronze gate slowly opened wide.

A figure in white stepped out, walking with a majestic and dignified stride.

He raised his eyes to scan the surroundings, his gaze like lightning. His world-disdainful Aura swept across the eight wildernesses, greatly shocking many Prodigies.

Among the crowd, some beings cried out in alarm.

“Qin Wushang! It's him! How could he come out from that gate?!!!”
