"Hahaha! You remnants of the Nine Nether! The Netherworld was sucked into a space black hole for so long, it must be dead by now! Let's see how long you people can last!"
In a dim world, a massive black vortex appeared in mid-air, and a raucous laughter echoed.
This dim world, this massive black vortex, if Shi Feng were here, he would find it all too familiar.
This was his homeland on the Tianheng Continent, the entrance to the Netherworld Purgatory.
At this moment, in front of the massive black vortex, hovered more than thirty figures exuding powerful auras, all of whom were Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm strongmen.
The resurgence of the Netherworld on the Tianheng Continent, along with the Ling Family of the hidden world being absorbed into the dark void, had already spread throughout the entire Tianheng Continent.
More than thirty Nine-star Martial Emperors hovered before the massive black vortex.
Besides the five remaining of the seven great Martial Emperors, plus the Ling Family enemy confronted later, a new batch of foes unknown where they sprang from.
This world is just like that, with few who offer help in times of need, while many kick you when you're down.
The Netherworld Purgatory, a world filled with mystery, many people are eager to know what exactly lies within.
In people's hearts, they think this mysterious world is akin to ancient relics.
Emperor Nine Nether, Netherworld! His seven disciples! Eight Ghost Generals! All of them were naturally gifted, so perhaps their achievements have some links to this Netherworld Purgatory.
In any case, in the minds of the people, there must be unimaginable existences within the Netherworld Purgatory.
These powerful figures, once they came here, naturally charged into the massive black vortex, storming into the Netherworld Purgatory. Sometimes, over thirty Nine-star Martial Emperors moved together.
But not long after entering, they sensed extreme Yin Cold Power surging from all directions like tidal waves.
These continually surging forces seemed like nearly a hundred peak Nine-star Martial Emperor experts cultivating Supreme Yin Power attacking them.
The entire world seemed to freeze due to these surging Supreme Yin Powers.
When these outsiders entered the Netherworld Purgatory, the people inside activated an ancient and absolute killing array.
This killing array, from a bygone era, was supposedly set up by the former Lord of the Netherworld Purgatory.
More than thirty Nine-star Martial Emperors had to retreat from the Netherworld Purgatory under that ancient and absolute killing array.
"Hmph! The Netherworld is dead, and you're playing the turtle hiding in its shell? You're simply tarnishing the Netherworld's face!" A disdainful snort followed soon after.
This snort came from Ling Wei, the elder brother of the Ling Family Patriarch, Ling Hun, and the Great Elder of the Ling Family.
On that day, after Shi Feng was absorbed into the dark void, fiercer and more bloody battles erupted, with ever more ferocious and intense forces clashing.
That war raged day and night, with the Ling Family's martial artists and Shi Feng's ghost soldiers perishing incessantly in the conflict.
Death Emperor Lingg Yefeng, Emperor Xiaoyao Mo Xiaoyao, Luo Qingchuan of the Undying Mountain, the world's foremost alchemy master Xiao Tianyi, Lingg Yefeng's abnormal disciple Ning Cheng, plus the Eight Ghost Generals, a total of thirteen supreme strongmen swore to avenge Shi Feng, each fighting with red-eyed ferocity, getting fiercer with each battle.
Later, they gradually gained the upper hand, killing two of the Ling Family's supreme Nine-star Martial Emperors, rescuing Shi Feng's sister Shi Ling, and were about to wipe out the Ling Family when suddenly twelve supreme Martial Emperor Realm powerhouses descended, each in peak state, aiding the Ling Family.
With the arrival of these twelve supreme Martial Emperors, the situation turned dramatically.
Helpless and unwilling, they could only lead the ghost soldiers to retreat!
In this retreat, the situation became even more perilous for them, with each of them accumulating new injuries.
In the end, out of nowhere emerged ten thousand Yin Corpses, led by three Yin Corpses astonishingly from the Nine-star Emperor-level Realm, the Corpse Emperors. They used their Yin Corpse bodies to set up a wondrous array in the world, much like the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses created by Emperor Nine Nether and Netherworld.
And the three Nine-star Corpse Emperors, using their Yin Corpse bodies, controlled the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses, which was more profound than the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses of Emperor Nine Nether.
For a time, the ten thousand Yin Corpses using the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses held back the formidable pursuers, allowing the exhausted ones to escape.
Later Lingg Yefeng and the others learned that the twelve strongmen came from another ancient and mysterious great force on the Tianheng Continent, called the Qiankun Holy Land.
Rumor has it that this Qiankun Holy Land has always maintained a good relationship with the Ling Family, starting an intermarriage alliance from very long ago.
Continually, Ling Family daughters were married into the Qiankun Holy Land, while the Qiankun Holy Land's female disciples married into the Ling Family.
The mother of the current Ling Family Patriarch Ling Hun was said to have come from this Qiankun Holy Land.
As for the ten thousand Yin Corpses that emerged out of nowhere, they didn't know where they came from.
But the Formation of Ten Thousand Corpses set by the leading three Nine-star Corpse Emperors should be related to Master Netherworld.
Because of these ten thousand Yin Corpses, they successfully retreated, uncertain of whether their fate was good or ill afterwards.
"Lingg Yefeng, as long as you hand over the legendary Death God Scythe to this Emperor, I can ensure you leave here alive."
Death Emperor Lingg Yefeng, obtaining the ancient divine spirit's Divine Artifact, the Death God Scythe, this matter had already spread throughout the world.
At this moment, the one speaking towards the massive black vortex was again from the Ling Family, it was Ling Xuan, the third brother of the Ling Family Patriarch, Ling Hun, and the Second Elder of the Ling Family.
And after Ling Xuan's words fell, the Ling Family members were indifferent, but everyone else cast peculiar glances at him.
Hmph! Hand over the Death God Scythe to your Ling Family, to you Ling Xuan, have you asked us?
Do you think this place is decided by your Ling Family?
"The legendary Death God Scythe! I, Shi Xuan, am also determined to get it!" Among the crowd, a young man in silver armor and helmet, holding a silver spear, silently said upon hearing Ling Xuan's words.
This young man turned out to be Shi Feng's half-brother, Shi Xuan.
And the aura emanating from Shi Xuan at this moment was also that of a formidable Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm.
In just two years, he advanced from the Martial Sect Realm to the Nine-star Martial Emperor Realm, which was simply shocking on the Tianheng Continent.
No one knows what happened to him in these past two years!
"The Death God Scythe! I have been sleeping beneath the earth for thousands of years, seeking the Undying Realm! If I get the divine-grade object of the ancient god, perhaps I can break through the shackles and step into the undying God Realm, achieving an everlasting and immortal body!"
Among the over thirty supreme strongmen, a mysterious man dressed in black with a bamboo hat, his face, neck, and hands wrapped in white cloth, silently said.
This mysterious person was none other than the founding ancestor of the Corpse Profound Sect, the Ancestor of Corpse Profound!
