Chapter 1408: Chapter 1402: Freezing Time

“Cheap tricks!”

As the blood sea flowed backward and the Nether River gradually appeared, Min Tiange’s attempt to escape using the Dao method of Light failed.

He floated at the edge of the blood sea, looking down at Li Dalong, who held the Book of Life and Death.

Cold light burst from Min Tiange’s eyes, yet it could not conceal the panic rising within his heart.

The Underworld.

Just this name alone was enough to make his heart pound with dread, let alone the mournful wails echoing from the blood curtain trapping him inside.

How could he know that the power within the blood curtain was the force of the Underworld awakened by the Underworld King.

As the final Underworld King of the Underworld, each of the layers of Hell possessed unique power.

Densely packed tongues surfaced within the blood curtain, representing the Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw.

Gathering all the brilliance of the world into a single path, Min Tiange knew the outcome after a single strike.

He had failed to break out of the Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw.

The densely packed, disgusting, drool-dripping long tongues in the blood curtain belonged to the owners of those mournful wails.

The rootless nether souls of Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw filled the blood sea, forging the boundless blood sea—which was already nearing the realm of a Tier-3 spiritual item—into the sturdiest wall in the mortal realm.

Li Dalong stared intently at Min Tiange, and Min Tiange similarly looked down at Li Dalong.

In just a single instant, Min Tiange made his move once more.

Since he couldn’t break open the Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw, he would kill the master of the Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw.

In a split second, the light and darkness of the world intersected, turning the entire battlefield gray!

The backward-flowing boundless blood sea, the ever-rising Nether River on the ground, the countless long tongues of the evil ghosts from the Hell Layer I: The Silence Maw, and the shadows within the Nether River all turned gray.

The manifested ‘Bridge of Helplessness’ seemed frozen in time. Submerged in the Nether River, Li Yaotie, who had just poked his head out, still maintained a blank expression.

The light of ultimate slaughter also represented a kind of ultimate speed.

Conversely, the Dao of ‘Shadow’ excelled at concealment, leaving absolutely no trace, which rendered Min Tiange omnipresent.

The combination of ultimate speed and the virtually untraceable shadow actually created the effect of freezing time.

And then.

“Crack… crack… crack…”

The world, frozen in gray shattered inch by inch, like broken glass!

“Whether you are the Underworld or the Heavenly Court, be annihilated!”

Everything Li Dalong had just unleashed from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin and the manifestation of the Underworld appeared incredibly fragile at this moment.

Meanwhile, Min Tiange had already appeared right in front of Li Dalong.

As the gray world shattered, his hand pressed down on the top of Li Dalong’s head.

Li Dalong still held the Book of Life and Death, still staring at the spot where Min Tiange had just been, and then…

Like paper thrown into a shredder, Li Dalong and the Book of Life and Death in his hand scattered like snowflakes.

Following that was the entire blood sea, the Nether River, the Bridge of Helplessness, and Hell!

This was just how fast a Half-Step Mahayana expert possessing the Dao of Light and Shadow was.

As everything fell like snowflakes, Min Tiange looked toward the spot where he had just been. Like a traveler in the snow, he furrowed his brows.

Sure enough, after Li Dalong uttered the phrase, “Your mortal lifespan has reached its end,” a power he had never seen before instantly invaded that spot.

It seemed that anything standing there would wither away, decaying with the passage of time.

“What a pity. You were too slow.”

Min Tiange exhaled a long breath.

When the power of the Underworld appeared, he had felt an unprecedented dread.

No one knew exactly how many divine abilities and techniques he had utilized in that half a snap of the fingers.

He had even forgotten how long it had been since he treated an enemy with such intense caution.

Divine ability: Grayscale Sprint, combining the Great Dao of Light and the Dao of Shadow to achieve the effect of freezing time.

Divine ability: Silent Slaughter, pushing both Great Daos to their absolute limits for a wide-range obliteration.

Divine ability: Light and Shadow Annihilation, the intersection of the mutually complementary yet extremely mutually exclusive Daos of Light and Darkness…

He had gone all out.

For an ordinary person to kill a Body Integration expert, it would take a considerable amount of time.

But he was confident that under these techniques of his, no cultivator in the world could survive!

A lion uses its full strength even when hunting a rabbit, let alone when facing the power of the ancient Underworld that even he dreaded.

“You are all that’s left.”

Everything of the Underworld, fleeting as an epiphyllum flower, burned on the ground like ashes, scattering in the air alongside sparks.

Min Tiange turned his head, looking at the two survivors in the area.

Floating in the air was the Red Dust Immortal, shielding himself with layers of the Red Dust Realm against the onslaught of various techniques.

As well as Li Yaotie, who had just poked his head out of the Nether River.

Due to the disappearance of the Underworld unleashed by his father and the sky full of ashes, his eyes were blank, and his body was covered in scars.

Min Tiange took a step forward.

But he suddenly halted his footsteps. The indifference on his face instantly turned into utter astonishment.

Beneath the sky full of ashes, the battlefield fell into a momentary, absolute silence, and then.

“Creeeak—”

An ear-piercing sound of a door opening rang out. Min Tiange’s eyes widened blankly. “No… that’s not right!”

Even after he had expended a massive amount of Dao methods and utilized various divine abilities never before revealed to the world, that ancient Underworld aura that made him dread still had not vanished!

He faintly sensed that one thing still existed.

That coffin!

“Gurgle… gurgle…”

The rolling Nether River murmured. He looked down; bloody water had flooded right up to his feet!

He wanted to leave.

But from his shadow, tentacles suddenly shot out, tightly entangling his feet in a death grip!

A shrill, wickedly enchanting voice echoed from the shadow.

“I’ve stayed in your shadow for quite a while now. I like your Dao of Shadow; let me borrow some of your light.”

The sinister, wicked laugh gradually grew hoarse and gloomy.

“Divine ability: Watchdog!”

“Divine ability: Wicked Thoughts!”

“Dharma Treasure: Divine Concealment Needle. Pierce him.”

“Grandpa, hurry up and climb out of that coffin! I won’t be able to hold on for much longer!”

“Let’s go, you blockhead!”

The Red Dust Immortal floated into the air.

Everything had happened very quickly; fundamentally, His Red Dust Realm had been focused entirely on protecting Himself and others.

He had seen with His own eyes the descent of light and shadow, the appearance of the Underworld’s artifacts, the annihilation of the Nether River, and now, this!

This was no longer a scene He could participate in.

This was a massive battle between the two most terrifyingly monstrous geniuses at the Body Integration realm in the mortal realm, or perhaps even at the Heavenly Immortal realm.

In just the short span of 10 to 20 minutes’ time, His history of the red dust would have to add a heavily inked and deeply significant chapter!

To have survived and remained completely unscathed after Min Tiange had unleashed all his divine abilities was already enough to make Him proud.

And then there was Li Yaotie.

Without hesitation, He used the Red Dust Realm to carry away Li Yaotie, who had somehow managed to survive relying purely on his physical body.

As he fled, He stared downward, drenched in cold sweat!

The Dao of Light and Shadow could truly be called peerless in the world.

What a pity…

The Heaven-Piercing Coffin on the ground was still there. How could the Great Dao of Light and Darkness possibly destroy the Underworld?

“What the hell is this thing? This Li Dalong, the Li Clan’s Patriarch… I really… damn it!”

As the Red Dust Immortal sent Li Yaotie into the sky, He looked down at the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, from which the Nether River was surging once more.

At this moment, the Red Dust Immortal finally recognized this coffin, causing His words to become jumbled, unable to maintain His usual refined and elegant demeanor.

“The Heaven-Piercing Coffin, Shen Wu’s Heaven-Piercing Coffin!”

In His Red Dust Scroll, there was a scene He had personally recorded, something He had witnessed with His own eyes.

In the long history of the mortal realm, back when living beings defeated the immortals, two Great Emperors were born.

They severed the absolute pinnacle of power for living beings.

Below them was the Mahayana realm. In that era, the most arrogant and foolish human was born: Shen Wu!

Relying on the Corpse-Driving Art, this person created the Corpse Tribe. Under the coercion of the Corpse Tribe, he attempted to refine the entire world.

At that time, during the massive battle between the two Emperors, this person attempted to reap the fisherman’s profit from the decisive duel between the two strongest beings in the world.

He… got too close, and vastly overestimated himself.

Had it not been for this, Shen Wu would absolutely have been a standout figure among the subsequent Twenty-Four Emperors, fully capable of changing the geopolitical landscape of the world.

“The Heaven-Piercing Coffin and the Underworld… the Heavenly Coffin and the Underworld?!!”

The Red Dust Immortal suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

Looking down at the blood sea flowing from the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, the power of the Underworld had reappeared!

The Nether River gradually submerged Min Tiange’s feet.

Li Yunbing, hidden in the shadows, used his only two divine abilities to fully imprison Min Tiange, seemingly having lain in wait for a long time just for this very moment.

With the reappearance of the Nether River, everything in the sky that had been reduced to ashes by the Dao of Light and Shadow gradually revived.

The blood sea in the sky began to flow backward again, and the ashes forming the ‘Bridge of Helplessness’ in mid-air turned into chunks of flesh.

They began to squirm, growing fleshy sprouts that fused together!

From the blood sea overflowing from the Heavenly Coffin, blood-stained hands reached out one by one.

The Heaven-Piercing Coffin slowly opened, and silhouettes stepped out from within the Nether River.

“Why is there a blood sea inside the Heaven-Piercing Coffin? The blood sea was originally something from within the Nether River, yet it is tainted with the aura of the Heavenly Coffin.

Shen Wu created the Corpse Tribe, and the Corpse-Driving Art is inherently a technique to bring the dead back to life.

This kind of technique is quite similar to the Underworld’s method of guiding living beings into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”

“The Heavenly Coffin and the Underworld… Shen Wu and the Underworld… No one knows where Shen Wu came from, or how he created the Corpse-Driving Art and the Corpse Tribe…”

“Perhaps…”

“The Heavenly Coffin was inherently an artifact of the Underworld, and Shen Wu was originally a remnant of the Underworld!”

“Boom!”

The Red Dust Immortal’s mind instantly exploded, the hair on His head standing on end as He stared in horror at the members of the Corpse Tribe walking out of the blood sea.

The immortals had never stopped their revival.

The Underworld, created by the immortals, had also never stopped trying to recreate its ancient glory after its destruction.

Just like the immortals, they had continuously attempted restoration throughout the course of the eras, and the previous one who failed was Shen Wu.

“The successor of the Underworld… my good heavens.”

Gulp.

The Red Dust Immortal swallowed hard.

Even he didn’t know exactly how strong the Underworld was. It was a place even immortals were unwilling to go.

The immortals created the Underworld, until the Underworld became one of the few forbidden grounds of that era.

At that time, the Immortal Emperor even had to personally pour a cup of fine wine for the Underworld Emperor.

When Underworld officials came to claim souls, even immortals had to make way.

Amidst His shock, Li Yaotie had already been brought to His side by the Red Dust Immortal’s Red Dust Realm.

Li Yaotie’s irritable shouts and the scorching Great Dao of Heavenly Fire emanating from his body snapped Him back to reality.

“Red Dust Immortal, what are you spacing out for? Help out!”

At this moment, Li Yaotie looked like a piece of red-hot iron.

His utilization of the Great Dao of Heavenly Fire made his physical body incomparably tough, enabling him to survive even under Min Tiange’s various divine abilities.

Now that Li Yunbing had made his move, how could he possibly hold back? Even though his entire body was twisted and mangled, he was still determined to deliver a hammering strike from the sky.

Heavenly Fire filled the sky, yet it was overshadowed by the blood sea. Just as he was about to strike down, the Red Dust Immortal grabbed his arm.

The Red Dust Immortal’s hand was burned, causing Him to snatch it back, which also made Li Yaotie freeze.

He only heard the Red Dust Immortal ask: “Little Tie, where… where did your dad find the Heaven-Piercing Coffin?”

“Hm? You know it?” Li Yaotie was startled.

This was the first time he had met an existence who could call the Heaven-Piercing Coffin by its name.

“We dug it up when we were planting trees and growing vegetables at home.”

“…”

The Red Dust Immortal looked as if He had been struck by lightning, subconsciously uttering: “Next time you grow vegetables, take me with you.”
