Chapter 99: Conquest, the Void Demon Whale!

Buzz buzz buzz~!

Outside the gloomy and dark Hall of Rebirth, a buzzing sound from the void could be heard.

In the next moment, Chen Chang'an's figure appeared here.

He was still wearing a black robe, with an endless chaotic aura emanating from him.

"Greetings, Lord Emperor Song!"

Outside the door, several gatekeepers, the Yakshas, all bowed and kneeled to welcome him, not daring to overstep any boundaries.

Chen Chang'an ignored them and stepped forward, arriving at the main hall of the Hall of Rebirth.

At this moment, Yama and the others were already waiting here. The three of them stood in the hall, and from their appearance, it seemed that they had just finished discussing something.

"Yama, what's the matter?" Chen Chang'an asked as soon as he entered, addressing Yama.

Yama looked at Chen Chang'an and said with a solemn expression, "Sir Song, the Emperor has left seclusion."

Huh? The Emperor has left seclusion?

Chen Chang'an was momentarily stunned.

In this world, there was only one person who could be called the Emperor by Yama and be involved in such a significant occasion, and that was the most mysterious figure in the Hall of Rebirth - the Lord of the Hall, Yin Tianzi.

Chen Chang'an remembered that this person had announced seclusion four or five years ago, seemingly to break through his realm, and had rarely appeared in these years.

Now that he was leaving seclusion, could it be that he had successfully broken through?

Chen Chang'an immediately thought of this possibility.

"Yama, the Emperor has left seclusion. Is there something we need to do?" Chen Chang'an asked.

At this moment, Meng Po, who was beside them, spoke. She leaned on a cane, with silver hair covering her head, looking like an old lady.

This surprised Chen Chang'an a bit because it was the first time he had seen Meng Po appear in the Hall of Rebirth without wearing a mask. Of course, this face could also be fake.

However, precisely because she wasn't wearing a mask, Chen Chang'an could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from Meng Po from time to time.

The aura surged and fluctuated, shaking the heavens and all things, as if it were divine and demonic!

"Meng Xian, have you made a breakthrough?" Chen Chang'an couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Meng Po shook her head and said, "Not yet, but there is already a path."

"Congratulations in advance, Meng Xian," Chen Chang'an nodded.

By the banks of the Yellow Springs River, three thousand flowers of the other shore. It seemed that Meng Po had already comprehended the 'other shore of the Yellow Springs'.

To comprehend the other shore of the Yellow Springs meant that there was only half a step left to achieve enlightenment. This was no small feat.

In response to Chen Chang'an's congratulations, Meng Po shook her head.

"Lord Emperor Song is joking. In terms of realm, there is not much difference between Emperor Song and me. I just happened to be a step ahead for now."

"With the foundation of Emperor Song, it won't be long before he catches up."

Meng Po's words were completely sincere, without any falsehood. Emperor Song's cultivation itself was not far behind theirs. Although she had grasped the meaning of the Dao ahead of them, Meng Po believed that the gap between her and the person in front of them had not widened much.

After listening to Meng Po's words, Chen Chang'an smiled faintly in his heart and did not argue.

At this moment, the King of Reincarnation beside them spoke, looking at Yama and asking, "Yama, can you tell us why the emperor summoned us?"

"Hmm." Yama nodded. "The three of you, please follow me."

Yama spoke to the three of them and then got up, walking ahead and gesturing for them to follow.

The three of them had no objections and followed Yama's footsteps.

However, after walking for a while, the brows of the three of them furrowed.

Because the direction Yama was leading them was towards the inner hall of the Hall of Rebirth.

The inner hall of the Hall of Rebirth was usually where the Yin Emperor secluded himself or rested. Normally, only the Yin Emperor himself could freely enter and exit.

They, as members of the Yin Court, generally did not come here, and the Yin Emperor rarely allowed them to pass through here.

But now, they were being brought here voluntarily, which was obviously abnormal.

"Could something big have happened?"

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but consider this possibility.

"Alright, we're here."

Not long after, under Yama's lead, the four of them arrived in front of a magnificent pavilion.

Seeing this pavilion, Yama turned around and said to the three of them.

Then, he looked up at the top of the pavilion and bowed, saying, "Emperor, Song Si and the others have arrived."

"Come up."

In the next moment, a deep voice came from inside the pavilion, the sound ethereal as if it came from the other end of the world. Within it, the aura of the Great Dao permeated, making it impossible to discern the gender.

But almost in the first instant, Chen Chang'an and the others knew that it was indeed the voice of the Yin Emperor.

Creak!

In the next moment, the door of the pavilion opened automatically, and from inside, endless sinister demonic energy surged, filling the air with gloom.

This didn't seem like a pavilion, but rather a Great World.

In fact, this pavilion was indeed a corner of the Yin Emperor's Pure Land.

When cultivators break through the eight realms and advance to the ninth realm, they will nurture Dao Palaces within their bodies. These Dao Palaces carry the cultivator's Dao, and once they are fully nurtured, it means that the cultivator has entered the ranks of the ninth realm.

Then, in the cultivation of the ninth realm, these Dao Palaces will gradually transform into Pure Land Divine Nations. The more thorough the transformation, the higher the cultivator's cultivation level.

And Pure Land Divine Nations can be materialized.

The world inside this small pavilion was a corner of the Yin Emperor's Pure Land!

In the next moment, the four of them took a step forward and entered the pavilion.

Buzz~!

Sure enough, when the four of them stepped in, they immediately noticed that the surroundings had changed.

This was not an attic at all, but a vast Great World.

Within this world, various terrifying demonic energies raged and roamed, and at one end of the endless galaxy, there was an ominous aura.

Unparalleled and ancient!

Is this the Ninth Realm?

Seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but murmur.

He had not had much contact with cultivators of the Ninth Realm, but certainly not few either.

As for the Heavenly Venerables of the Ninth Realm, Chen Chang'an knew that each of them cultivated their own Pure Land Divine Kingdom. However, he had never had a clear understanding of what these Pure Land Divine Kingdoms were like.

This time, entering the Pure Land Divine Kingdom of the Demon Lord, or rather, the Demon Nation, filled in some of his knowledge gaps.

This could be considered a good harvest.

Buzz~!

As the four of them walked, they suddenly arrived at a pavilion in the center of a lake.

Inside the pavilion, there sat a figure shrouded in a dark aura.

The figure wore a dark golden mask and a black robe, making it impossible to see their face.

However, the aura that constantly surged through their body, spanning across eternity, reminded everyone that this was a Transcendent Level invincible being.

At this moment, the figure stood with their hands behind their back in a corner of the pavilion, gazing at the boundless lake, silently waiting. Without a doubt, they were waiting for Chen Chang'an and the other three.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Seeing this Daoist figure, Chen Chang'an and the others did not dare to be negligent and quickly saluted.

The identity of someone who could enjoy the lake here and possess such a powerful aura was almost self-evident.

Besides the Yin Emperor, who else could it be?

"Mm."

The Yin Emperor nodded.

"Please, have a seat, all four of you."

Immediately after, the Yin Emperor waved his hand, and the scene in front of them instantly changed. It was no longer an endless lake, but a grand hall.

In the hall, four ancient chairs had appeared around them.

Chen Chang'an and the others each sat in one of the chairs.

"The reason I called you back, Song Si and the others, is because I have recently felt that my cultivation has reached its uncontrollable peak, and I need to prepare for a breakthrough."

After Chen Chang'an and the others had all sat down, the Yin Emperor straightforwardly spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it carried an infinite sense of ethereality, just enough to enter the ears of Chen Chang'an and the others smoothly.

"Your Majesty, you... have made another breakthrough?"

Upon hearing the Yin Emperor's words, Yama immediately exclaimed, his face filled with shock and excitement.

Not only him, but Meng Po and the King of Reincarnation also turned their gaze to Yin Tianzi in an instant.

In this era close to the great world, Yin Tianzi's breakthrough is definitely the best news for the Hall of Rebirth.

Chen Chang'an was also somewhat surprised because he remembered clearly that it hadn't been many years since the last time this person had a breakthrough.

Another breakthrough now?

This talent is truly terrifying!

"Mhmm." Yin Tianzi nodded, answering the astonishment of Chen Chang'an and the others.

However, he then said with a change of tone, "But, there is still something missing for the breakthrough, which is why I asked you all to come back and help me."

"Something missing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chang'an and the others were once again puzzled.

Is there something in this world that a Nine Realm master cannot obtain, to the extent that they need the help of Eight Realm masters like them?

"Your Majesty, may I ask what is missing?" Yama asked immediately.

Yin Tianzi slowly said, "The Void Magic Stone!"

"What?! The Void Magic Stone?!"

Upon hearing Yin Tianzi's words, Chen Chang'an and the others exclaimed in disbelief, their faces full of incredulity.

They were not unfamiliar with the Void Magic Stone.

In this world, although there are countless living beings, there are even many who have transcended their races.

But among them, the most special existence is undoubtedly the existence within the endless starry sky.

The Void Magic Whale!

The Void Magic Whale is a kind of demonic creature in the world of demons. They have no intelligence and are synonymous with slaughter from birth.

However, their racial talent is exceptionally powerful. When they open their mouths, it often encompasses a Great World. They are not born immortal, but once they are born, they naturally possess extremely powerful strength. When they reach adulthood, they are strong enough to contend with immortal Nine Realm cultivators!

Once they are born, they become the rulers of a starry sky, dominating the boundless Demon World. Throughout history, no one dares to provoke them.

And the Void Magic Stone that Yin Tianzi is looking for is the heart of the Void Magic Whale!

It is said to be the source of the Void Magic Whale's power, incredibly strong.

Chen Chang'an and the others really didn't expect that Yin Tianzi called them here to actually have the intention of going after this thing.

This is really cool!

"Yes, the Void Magic Stone."

Then, Yin Tianzi explained to the four of them the reason why he called them.

He has already found a target, a Void Magic Whale, which is currently in the only true realm. Yin Tianzi compared his own strength with that of the Void Magic Whale and although he can defeat it, he cannot kill it.

Because even though the Void Magic Whale has no consciousness and only knows slaughter, when it is heavily injured, it still follows its instinct to escape.

Void Magic Whale, Void Magic Whale.

The reason why this name is attached to that kind of calamity behemoth is because as long as they escape into the void, it is basically unsolvable.

This kind of escape, even the Yin Tianzi, who is a Nine Realms cultivator, can't do it!

So, he came to find Chen Chang'an and the others.

Although the four of them have not reached the Nine Realms in their cultivation, they are still strong when they join forces.

As long as the four of them can restrain the Formless Demon Whale for a certain amount of time, he will basically succeed.

"So that's how it is. When shall we depart, Your Majesty?"

The world where the Formless Demon Whale is located is not in the Formless World, but in the only Demon World among the Nine Heavens.

It is full of endless demons and is the gathering place for boundless creatures like the Formless Demon Whale.

Demons are not the same as demonic cultivators; the latter are still human.

But the former, they are true demons, only knowing slaughter and bloodlust!

It is not easy to go to the only Demon World; it requires a considerable amount of preparation time.

"Two hours later," Yin Tianzi thought for a moment and said.

"After two hours, I will open the passage to the only Demon World. Chen Chang'an and the four of you can go through the passage."

"Perfect, during these two hours, Emperor Song, you can take care of the matters in your respective halls, so that you can go together later."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chen Chang'an and the others nodded in response.

Then, each of them returned to their respective places.

Emperor Song's Hall.

As soon as Chen Chang'an returned, he immediately felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

The entire hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Chen Chang'an frowned and stepped into the hall.

"Let's not discuss it for now, the Lord has returned."

Just as he walked to the entrance of the hall, Chen Chang'an heard the voices of Black and White Impermanence talking inside.

Immediately, Chen Chang'an stepped into the hall.

"I respectfully welcome the Lord."

Seeing Chen Chang'an enter, Black and White Impermanence quickly bowed respectfully.

"Hmm, no need for formalities." Chen Chang'an waved his hand, indicating that they could stop.

Then, he asked Black and White Impermanence, "What happened, Wuchang?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's question, the faces of Black and White Impermanence hesitated, as if they were unsure whether to speak or not.

"White, you speak."

Chen Chang'an looked at White Impermanence when no one spoke.

"Yes, my Lord."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an call her, White Impermanence no longer hid anything and immediately recounted the incident of the City God betraying them in the main hall.

However, they didn't know that Chen Chang'an had already known about this.

"Oh? So that's what happened?"

"I already know about this."

After White Impermanence finished speaking, Chen Chang'an nodded, indicating that he already knew.

"You know, my Lord?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an say that he already knew, White Impermanence was stunned at first, then she asked, "Then, my Lord, what should we do about the City God?"

"No need."

Chen Chang'an waved his hand.

Then, his voice suddenly turned cold, and he said, "The City God has already been annihilated by me!"

Huh?!

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Black and White Impermanence were shocked. They both looked up at their Lord, their hearts trembling.

Then, they heard Chen Chang'an's voice continue to echo in the hall:

"I annihilated him on the Hidden Dao Mountain halfway up Tian Shuiyu, where you were discussing investigating that scholar named Chen Chang'an."

"Lord, are you saying that we are framing that Tian Shui Chen Chang'an?"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Black Impermanence suddenly froze. He seemed to have thought of something and asked in confusion.

"Yes, that's right." Chen Chang'an nodded.

Then he said:

"I did it very secretly, and the other party didn't find out it was me."

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Black and White Impermanence became even more puzzled:

They asked, "Lord, but that Tian Shui Chen Chang'an was said to have suffered injuries in previous years. Although he has now become a great scholar, his lifespan is almost nonexistent."

"It's hard to say whether he can survive until the arrival of the Great Era, let alone talk about his potential."

"Why should we go to such great lengths to frame someone like him?"

What Black and White Impermanence asked was indeed a point of confusion for them. They also admitted that the Tian Shui scholar was indeed powerful, but his lifespan was short.

His potential is completely within reach, the kind that can be seen at a glance. Is it not a waste to invest so much effort in someone like him?

"No, Wuchang, you are wrong." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Things cannot be judged by appearances."

"You may not see the potential in him, but I see something different in him."

At this point, Chen Chang'an looked at the two of them and said meaningfully:

"Behind him, there may be a Semi-Saint of the Confucian School!"

"What, a Semi-Saint of the Confucian School?!"

Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Black and White Impermanence were shocked.

So, the root of the matter appeared here.

Semi-Saint, the title for a great sage who has reached the entry level of the Nine Realms!

In that instant, the two of them instantly understood Chen Chang'an's approach.

The Lord intends to draw out the sage behind the other party!

Truly, the Lord is formidable!

At this moment, Chen Chang'an spoke again:

"By the way, you two only need to know about this matter, there's no need to tell anyone else."

"Lord, should we not inform Ksitigarbha?" [White Impermanence] immediately asked.

"No need to inform her." Chen Chang'an shook his head.

Then, he instructed:

"Also, I need to go to the Unique Demon World for a while."

"I'm not sure when I'll be back. If Ksitigarbha stabilizes her realm, you can have her go directly to the Nether Sea, no need to wait for me to return."

"As for the new Underworld forces, if you have time, you can help her establish them."

"But there's one thing she needs to pay attention to, and that is to include the Hengduan Mountains when building the Ksitigarbha Hall."

"Yes, Lord." Upon hearing Chen Chang'an's words, [White Impermanence] and the others immediately nodded and bowed.

"Well, that's about it." Chen Chang'an also nodded.

Then, he seemed to think of something and asked Black Impermanence beside him, "How is the defense at the Red Demon Sea?"

[Black Impermanence] respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Lord, the defense at the Red Demon Sea has been arranged by all the Underworld forces and is in the final completion stage."

"Good." Chen Chang'an nodded.

"What about your side, White Impermanence?"

[White Impermanence] also bowed and said, "Reporting to the Lord, the Underworld forces around the Samsara Sea have all been arranged properly. Please rest assured, there shouldn't be any problems."

Chen Chang'an immediately smiled and said, "Alright, I understand. Since that's the case, you may go."

After that, he waved his hand and let the two of them leave.

Two hours passed quickly. After Chen Chang'an arranged everything and the agreed time with the Lord of the Netherworld arrived, a buzzing sound rang out. Then, a dark void appeared. That was the passage to the Unique Demon World.

At the same time, in the sky, the figure of the Lord of the Netherworld also appeared.

He looked down at Chen Chang'an and the others, and in the next moment, a majestic voice resounded in the void:

"Song Si, Meng Xian, King of Reincarnation, Yama, follow me."

After saying that, the Lord of the Netherworld took the lead and stepped into the void.

After the Lord of the Netherworld entered the void, Chen Chang'an and the others didn't delay and instantly formed their avatars, entering inside in an instant.

Buzzing! The flow speed inside the spatial passage was very fast. In no time, Chen Chang'an found himself and the others in a vast Demon World.

Here, the sky was dim, and in the ancient heavens, there was only a blood moon hanging in the sky.

Gloomy and terrifying, it had almost become the epitome of this land.

Roar! On the ground, demonic creatures emitting endless demonic energy rampaged and roared.

They fought and devoured each other's flesh.

This was the Unique Demon World, a place worthy of being called the Sacred Land of all demonic cultivators in the world!

"Follow me, everyone!"

Seeing that the four of them were all in position, the Lord of the Netherworld spoke.

Then, he flew towards a place in the Unique Demon World, and Chen Chang'an and the others followed.

Roar! It seemed that the place the Lord of the Netherworld went to was a gathering place for Great Demons. Along the way, the further they went, the more powerful true demonic beasts they encountered.

Bloodthirsty, fighting, and brutal were the only words to describe these giant beasts!

After walking for about tens of minutes, Chen Chang'an and the others arrived in a sea area.

It was a black sea, with ink-black seawater and boundless demonic aura pervading it.

These demonic auras were all Origin Demonic Qi, the most filthy demonic aura in the world, extremely evil in nature.

Once contaminated, not to mention righteous cultivators, even demonic cultivators, if not handled properly, could suffer severe injuries!

"Alright, this is it."

After arriving here, the Lord of the Netherworld stopped and looked at the pitch-black sea surface, solemnly saying to the four of them.

Buzzing! At this moment, with the Lord of the Netherworld's reminder, Chen Chang'an also observed the colossal creature beneath the sea through his divine sense.

It was huge, resembling a whale, but its body was as vast as a starry sky.

There was no doubt that this was their target for this trip, the Void Demon Whale!

It floated and sank in the sea, with an ancient aura all over its body.
