Chapter 774: Chapter 413 Polluted Evil World!
Netherworld.
Tens of thousands of Ghost Pawns and Ghost Generals gathered to witness a battle where the strong bullied the weak.
They saw an outsider with an exceptionally strong and terrifying soul, who easily crushed them, now beaten to a pulp, screaming continuously.
From then on, there was not the slightest dignity left for the strong.
It wasn’t that the dwarf elder, as a Harmonization Realm cultivator, could not endure even a little pain.
Instead, within the Netherworld, under the erosion of the Netherworld’s force, the pain was incomparable to ordinary suffering.
It was a negative force strong enough to make even those in Harmonization or higher realms with strong willpower collapse.
Under the erosion of this force, the thoroughly disadvantaged dwarf elder didn’t even have time to employ his eighteen types of torture methods.
He was merely slightly flattened and stretched by the Blood God transformed into a Netherworld Guardian Divine Monarch and couldn’t bear it, hence choosing to surrender.
Then, under the witness of the Netherworld’s world consciousness,
The dwarf elder had his Divine Soul pierced by the Netherworld chains, and a Netherworld mark emerged on his body.
Simultaneously, the memories hidden deep within his Primordial Spirit were dug out by the Dream Snake that had returned to the Netherworld, employing the Dream Entry Technique.
Without the dig, one would have never known, but the dig certainly took Su Ping by surprise.
This person, who claimed to be White Tiger True Monarch from the Xuanhu Sect, indeed originated from the Xuanwu Sect.
He even had a dual identity, an elder from the Xuanwu Sect famous for his Alchemy.
Meanwhile, Su Ping also learned that the sudden calamity of demons around the Lower Realm was indeed deliberately caused by the Xuanwu Sect.
However, the purpose was not for the higher-ups to extend their lifespan, or because they had a special method to allow high-tier cultivators to absorb and transform from demon crystals.
It was because, over a hundred years ago, the Xuanwu Sect had acquired an Innate Treasure called Polluted Evil World.
To enable the Supreme Elder Taoist Lord Xuanwu of the Xuanwu Sect to control this treasure,
They orchestrated this calamity of demons, attempting to let the demons devour surrounding small worlds and thousands of cultivators to grow, and then collect these demon blood crystals to perform a Blood Sacrifice for the treasure.
At first, Su Ping wondered if it was worth it to make such a big sacrifice for one person, one Innate Treasure.
But later, combining the memories, he also understood.
Just as the Three Alliances were openly and secretly striving against each other for the position of Immortal King,
For a local powerhouse like the Xuanwu Sect, the most important thing was to produce a Heavenly Immortal of their own to solidify their position.
They even had the possibility to dispatch troops to expand their territory should the outside world change.
And advancing to Heavenly Immortal, the recognition of an Innate Treasure was essential.
Therefore, even though the Xuanwu Sect acquired an Innate Treasure called the Polluted Evil World, which sounded evil,
They spared no effort and even consumed most of the sect’s foundation.
“Polluted Evil World, huh?”
Su Ping muttered the name to himself.
According to the dwarf elder, or White Tiger True Monarch as he says, this Innate Treasure was a bronze ghost face.
The ghost face constantly changed, displaying emotions of happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
The source of the rampaging demons in the surrounding time-space domains also originated from this Polluted Evil World treasure.
These demons, being wisdom creatures tainted by the Innate Treasure, demonstrated special characteristics.
The bigwigs of the Xuanwu Sect therefore discovered this and realized that letting the demons grow and produce Harmonization Demon Crystals showed joyful emotions on the Polluted Evil World ghost face.
This made the Supreme Elder very happy, indicating that he was gradually gaining approval from this treasure, but still needing more Harmonization Demon Crystals!
The Xuanwu Sect thus truly exerted all their powers for this cause.
And to prevent the demons from going out of control,
They picked those with unique talents among the weaker demons and, using the supreme secret technique of the sect, let several elders, whose lives were already nearing their end, abandon their physical bodies to become ghosts and, with the Soul Swapping Secret Technique, take over those demons, turning hosts into guests.
Of course, this method seemed to have no issues, but as time passed and the co-existing demons’ cultivation improved,
The elders’ own Divine Senses were also somewhat affected.
Hence, like this dwarf elder, many straightforwardly sealed themselves off, waiting for the sect to awaken them.
That is also why that Nine-headed Demon initially acted entirely on instinct.
“Xiong Da and Xiong Er were ambushed; the reason has been found.”
“However, with this, I, the outstanding Demon Slaying Master, might now become a thorn in the side of the Xuanwu Sect’s leadership, huh?”
“Hmm… those guys, they wouldn’t just black out my performance bonus Spirit Stones, would they?”
Su Ping frowned slightly, already deciding in his heart that if the other party really did withhold his Spirit Stones,
Even if they were the overlords of this Lower Realm,
He would still stand as a partner of justice, expose their truth, and pass judgement on them.
Leaving the Netherworld in his mind, Su Ping returned to the Spirit River Realm, which was already severely damaged.
Looking at the high-tier Spirit Vein that was losing Spiritual Energy without the world barrier,
Su Ping activated the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map, incorporating this most precious heritage into the Array Map.
With the Divine Light of the Jianmu Divine Tree shining upon it, he was not worried about the reduction in the vein’s quality.
Unfortunately, the ore veins had already been gnawed away by those demons.
Most of the Cave Heaven Secret Realms were also shattered.
To find treasure locations within the broken, multi-layered spaces of Cave Heaven was already an action with dim luck.
Using a Jade Token, Su Ping contacted Deacon Xiahou, reporting the current state of the Spirit River Realm.
Su Ping specifically mentioned that he had slain three more Harmonization Realm demons,
Resulting in Deacon Xiahou, unaware of the actual situation, showing considerable excitement, his tone filled with barely hidden joy.
