"This, this is impossible!" Yun Tianzun stared at the scene before him, disbelief welling up in his eyes.
He hadn't expected that within the Underworld, such a powerful expert would be hidden, and that someone would actually help Zhou Yan fight him.
Yun Tianzun's pupils gradually turned red. He looked at Zhou Yan with a murderous intent.
"Zhou Yan, you dare to betray me! Today, I will act on behalf of heaven!" Yun Tianzun roared, then his body transformed into a black lightning bolt, charging towards Zhou Yan.
"Yun Tianzun, do you still intend to continue your rampage?"
"Your strength is no longer a threat. I will make you realize the vast difference between us."
"Nine Nether Yin Sha Halberd, kill!"
Zhou Yan's voice echoed again.
The Nine Nether Yin Sha Halberd in Zhou Yan's hand was once again brandished.
"Whoosh!"
The jet-black long rainbow formed by the Nine Nether Yin Sha Halberd directly pierced Yun Tianzun's body.
"Puchi!"
Yun Tianzun's body was pierced by the Nine Nether Yin Sha Halberd.
Blood splattered and rained down.
Looking at the scene before him, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
This life-and-death battle was finally over.
He had won. He had defeated Yun Tianzun and left him severely wounded.
Although Yun Tianzun possessed the cultivation of the Celestial God realm, his strength was still far inferior to Zhou Yan's.
Zhou Yan had won this battle.
Yun Tianzun fell to the ground and died.
After Yun Tianzun's death, Zhou Yan plundered all his storage rings and the forces he led, including the three pills, all of which fell into Zhou Yan's possession.
This time, Zhou Yan's gains were truly astonishing.
His cultivation had improved, and his strength had increased significantly.
"There are indeed quite a few things in this place. It seems I'll need to do some serious scavenging in the future." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
...
Outside Yunshan City, an ancient stone gate stood silently, appearing like a sleeping beast.
Mysterious and obscure patterns were carved on the stone gate, yet it remained unyielding and motionless.
On either side of the stone gate stood an elder clad in a green robe, exuding an air of immortal grace.
"Is this the gateway to the Underworld?" an elder with white hair and a youthful complexion asked, a look of surprise on his face as he gazed at the inscriptions on the stone gate.
"Yes, this should be the entrance to the Underworld." The other elder nodded.
"The entrance to the Underworld… it seems it's no simple matter." The elder with white hair and a youthful complexion sighed, looking at the carved characters for "Underworld."
Within this Underworld, their status was not low.
However, even they could not step into it, which demonstrated the Underworld's formidable power.
"This Underworld must be sealed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have failed to sense its presence."
"It seems we can only find a place to rest for a while and see how things unfold."
The two elders exchanged glances, a flicker of apprehension in their eyes.
They were well aware that the Underworld was one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the world, a force that even they had to treat with caution.
Therefore, to barge in rashly might lead to trouble.
"Hmm?"
Just then, both elders frowned suddenly, as they sensed an extremely powerful surge of energy nearby.
"Could it be that some powerful expert has arrived here?" The elder with white hair and a youthful complexion's gaze turned solemn.
The other elder shook his head at the elder's words and said, "It's unlikely to be a supreme expert, but there are quite a few skilled individuals around here. We should be careful."
"Understood."
"Whoosh!"
The elder with white hair and a youthful complexion nodded and shot out, heading towards the surrounding experts.
At the same time, a woman in black slowly emerged beside Zhou Yan.
Looking at the experts before her, the black-clad woman let out a soft snort.
"Seeking death."
As the words fell, a black longsword appeared in her hand, and her figure transformed into a black meteor, charging towards the black-clad figures.
"Rumble!"
Sword light crisscrossed, raining down like a torrential downpour, sending the surrounding experts flying. Cracks appeared on their bodies, and they were severely injured.
Zhou Yan's brows furrowed slightly.
He looked at the woman in black before him, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. He could sense some of her strength, but not her full depth.
However, he didn't pay it much mind, simply treating her as a friend he had met outside.
"Yun Tianzun, your Underworld is truly a greedy ghost!"
An icy voice suddenly boomed from within the stone gate.
Following that, a mass of black mist rapidly billowed out from inside the stone gate.
The black mist churned and soon formed an immensely vast, shadowy figure.
The figure appeared somewhat indistinct, but Zhou Yan could vaguely recognize it as a person.
This person was powerfully built, exuding an aura of overwhelming majesty.
"Yun Tianzun, your Underworld is indeed audacious to dare to encroach upon my Underworld!"
"Is it your place to interfere in the affairs of my Underworld?"
"Your Underworld is only fit to be a hell, not the ruler of a world!"
The colossal shadow coldly rebuked.
As soon as the voice faded, the shadow swung its arm, and a fierce black beam of light was hurled directly towards Yun Tianzun's direction.
Seeing this, Yun Tianzun's expression changed, and he flickered, dodging the attack.
"Hmph, we naturally won't interfere in the affairs of your Underworld. However, if your Underworld dares to provoke our Xuanhuang Holy Land, then don't blame us for being impolite." A flash of anger crossed Yun Tianzun's eyes.
The Underworld, while one of the most mysterious and powerful forces in the entire realm, only controlled a vast continent as their territory.
If the Underworld dared to provoke the Xuanhuang Holy Land, they would not hesitate to fight them head-on.
"Hmph, if your Underworld wants to meddle in our affairs, you'll have to ask us first!"
"Your Underworld is merely a group of ants! How dare you interfere in my Underworld's business?!"
Yun Tianzun said coldly.
"Ants, your Underworld is indeed just ants!"
"Our Underworld is the master of this land!"
"All the rules of this land are set by us!"
"If our Underworld wants someone dead, then that person must die!"
The vast black mist exuded an extremely dense killing aura.
