Chapter 121 Underground Space

The area within this underground space was extremely vast.

Under the sweep of Sun Xuan's Divine Sense, cities of varying sizes were arranged within this underground space.

Under the sweep of Sun Xuan's Divine Sense, an end could simply not be seen.

Sun Xuan thought with some astonishment that the living quarters of these indigenous people were unexpectedly not above ground.

Instead, they lived within this huge underground space.

The dome of this underground space was covered with a strange kind of creature.

This creature itself possessed no magical power, but it could emit a faint white light.

In this way, although the place where the local indigenous people lived was an underground space,

under the illumination of these strange creatures, it was still filled with a not-so-bright, faint light.

This left the entire underground space in a hazy sensation, not all that dark.

Sun Xuan's expression shifted slightly after arriving in this huge underground space.

Because after arriving in this underground space, Sun Xuan vaguely sensed a sense of summons.

After feeling that sense of summons, Sun Xuan vaguely understood that one-third of his True Body that he had left behind when descending into this realm,

should be hidden somewhere in this underground space.

However, Sun Xuan was not in a hurry to look for that one-third of his True Body, because at this moment Sun Xuan's perception of his True Body was extremely vague.

He could not specifically perceive where it was.

This should be because that one-third of his True Body was hidden quite covertly, making it difficult for him to sense it right now.

However, if he recovered that small portion of his True Body scattered on the Third Prince, or even recovered more of his True Body scattered among the indigenous people here,

his perceptive power should increase quite a bit, and then, he would be able to more clearly sense the location of that one-third of his True Body.

After coming to this underground space, Sun Xuan discovered that within this underground space, there were quite a few people whose bodies contained a part of his True Body, just like the Third Prince.

Even if he could not temporarily find the one-third of his True Body he had lost,

collecting these scattered portions of his True Body scattered within this underground space was also a significant part.

At this moment, the Third Prince, who had escaped here through the spatial passage,

was continuously teleporting towards the largest city within this underground space.

Sun Xuan swept his Divine Sense slightly toward that city and understood that this should be the imperial city of these underground indigenous people.

Moreover, most of the Cultivators that Sun Xuan sensed containing fragments of his True Body were also gathered in this imperial city.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan did not hesitate, his figure immediately shooting like lightning to rapidly pursue the Third Prince escaping toward the imperial city.

The unfamiliar Aura and the rapidly pursuing figure instantly alerted the guards within various cities in the underground space.

Upon seeing that Sun Xuan was actually hunting down the Third Prince of their Diyuan Underworld Clan, these guards immediately did not say a word and blocked Sun Xuan's path.

Unfortunately, these guards were mostly composed of Soul Transformation Cultivators, and couldn't play any role in stopping Sun Xuan at all.

Either they were casually killed by Sun Xuan, or they couldn't catch up to Sun Xuan's figure at all.

These low-level guards didn't even think about how even their so-called Third Prince at the Early Stage of Ascendant was fleeing in panic like a stray dog under Sun Xuan's pursuit.

And for these low-level guards to step forward to block him, what meaning would it have?

However, it was probably because it was their duty, so they had no choice but to do so.

Under the meaningless obstruction of these low-level guards, Sun Xuan killed those blocking his way while rapidly pursuing the Third Prince from behind.

Under the assistance of his formidable Physical Body and the illusory wings of the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong,

Sun Xuan's speed at this moment had far exceeded the limit that ordinary Ascendant stage Cultivators could reach.

The Third Prince looked at the pursuer who had already arrived behind him, his eyes instantly filled with terror.

Sun Xuan raised a hand, and the Dao patterns on his body immediately gathered onto his palm.

Then, with a single palm strike, he lightly patted towards the Third Prince's back.

"Fellow Daoist, stop!

Why must you show such lethal intent to my son!"

Just as Sun Xuan was about to kill the Third Prince with a single palm, an old and vicissitudes-laden voice softly sounded by his ear at this moment.

Following closely, the figure of an old man wearing imperial robes and an imperial crown on his head immediately emerged from not far beside him.

Then he pointed at Sun Xuan from afar with a single finger.

A transparent finger print shot towards Sun Xuan like lightning, and then heavily stamped onto Sun Xuan's body.

If this palm strike from Sun Xuan landed on the Third Prince, then Sun Xuan would definitely not be able to dodge this finger print and could only take it head-on.

If Sun Xuan dodged away, he wouldn't be able to kill the Third Prince right before his eyes.

Feeling the Aura on this old man, which was a notch stronger than Palace Master Ouyang Mo's,

this old man was probably already at the verge of advancing into the Yin-Void Realm.

His strength definitely could not be underestimated.

However, at this moment, although Sun Xuan's eyes were grave, he did not dodge or evade at all against this incoming finger strike.

Sun Xuan's hand reaching toward the Third Prince unhesitatingly slapped onto the Third Prince's back.

While his other hand instantly flashed with a dazzling divine light.

Patches of Dao patterns condensed into an ancient, simple large character on Sun Xuan's palm, and then violently collided with the incoming transparent finger print.

A dazzling light erupted, and even the old man wearing imperial robes couldn't help but narrow his eyes under this dazzling light.

In an instant, the light dissipated, and the figures of both Sun Xuan and the Third Prince were revealed at this moment.

Sun Xuan's figure remained motionless, looking indifferently with a poised expression at the old man who should be the Underworld Emperor.

As for the Third Prince, under Sun Xuan's palm strike, he was directly reduced to ashes.

Leaving only a ring composed of black and white Qi currents, which was unhurriedly absorbed into Sun Xuan's body.

Upon seeing Sun Xuan slap the Third Prince to death with a single palm, the Underworld Emperor only had a somewhat gloomy expression.

Anyway, he had many sons, and many capable ones too.

Just a Third Prince, one more didn't make much difference, and one less didn't matter.

Anyway, for so many years, how many of his sons had already died in mutual slaughter for the fight of the crown prince position.

But upon seeing Sun Xuan effortlessly absorb that black and white ring imprint into his body,

a trace of horror finally flashed across the Underworld Emperor's face.

"Who on earth are you?"

The Underworld Emperor's eyes stared fixedly at Sun Xuan, speaking with a somewhat uncertain tone.

Sun Xuan glanced at the fragment of his True Body between the Underworld Emperor's brow, which was much larger than those of the Third Prince and Seventh Prince.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help revealing a hint of inexplicable smile as he spoke:

"Someone who came to take back what was lost."

As his voice fell, Sun Xuan's internal magical power circulated rapidly, and a purplish-golden spiritual light suddenly lit up on his chest.

In an instant, Sun Xuan's figure rapidly expanded.

Then, a purplish-golden giant dragon covered in scales and with twin wings on its back appeared from mid-air.

However, the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong that Sun Xuan transformed into using the Yinglong Transformation at this moment had very obvious changes compared to what he had transformed into previously.

The Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong transformed by Sun Xuan at this moment had an Aura that was much heavier and more condensed than before.

Wisps of patterns emerging on the scales seemed to contain the Dao.

Under the blessing of the formidable Physical Body forged by the One-Star Ancient God's Ten-Thousand-Fold Return, the power of this physical Divine Ability, the Yinglong Transformation, had increased by more than just a little bit.

The Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong transformed by Sun Xuan let out a long roar toward the sky.

Then its figure moved, and the space in front of it shattered instantly.

Following closely, a spatial portal instantly formed from the shattered space.

And the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong transformed by Sun Xuan plunged headfirst into this spatial portal.

After it rushed out from the spatial portal, its figure appeared from behind the Underworld Emperor.

Then with a single claw, it fiercely grabbed down toward the top of his head.

At this moment, although the Underworld Emperor's heart was somewhat uncertain,

his attack did not have the slightest hesitation.

Since the Cultivator before him was related to the greatest secret in his clan,

then no matter what, he had to capture him today and thoroughly explore the secret of how he could absorb his clan's holy items.

As thoughts flickered slightly in the Underworld Emperor's mind, he even thought that if he could find the method for the Cultivator before him to absorb his clan's holy items,

then he could absorb all the holy items and the Holy Demonic Primordial Fetus within the Holy Land into his body.

By then, let alone the mere Yin-Yang and Void-Reality Realm that had plagued him for thousands of years,

even truly becoming a Second Step Cultivator, or even higher, would be completely without any problem.

Thinking of this, the Underworld Emperor's state of mind, which had been without ripples for thousands of years, actually stirred with slight excitement at this moment.

Moreover, the gaze he looked at Sun Xuan with was not only filled with the previous suspicion and killing intent.

Instead, it contained a trace of indelible greed flashing in the depths of the Underworld Emperor's pupils.

While pressing down with a claw, Sun Xuan also noticed the greedy look in the Underworld Emperor's eyes.

In an instant, Sun Xuan understood what the Underworld Emperor was actually thinking in his heart.

This guy was treating him as prey, Sun Xuan thought with a cold sneer in his heart.

Thinking of this, the power under Sun Xuan's hand instantly became even more formidable.

Feeling the powerful might of Sun Xuan's grabbing palm, although the Underworld Emperor's expression was grave, he flipped his hand without the slightest fear.

Then, a pitch-black skull emerged from the Underworld Emperor's palm.

Following closely, this skull floated to the Underworld Emperor's chest.

The Underworld Emperor formed seals with both hands, and the magical power of the Great Perfection of Ascendant surged out, then heavily stamped the formed seal onto the skull in front of his chest.

"Hum!"

With the seal and endless magical power pouring into the skull, this skull instantly hummed slightly.

Following closely, two dim flames suddenly lit up from within the skull, and the skull's mouth immediately opened and closed up and down, as if chanting some spell.

As the skull's mouth opened and closed up and down, three pitch-black flames instantly connected head-to-tail to form a circle.

Stamping heavily towards the giant claw slapped by Sun Xuan.

In an instant, only a deafening explosion was heard.

These three pitch-black flames were instantly blasted apart under Sun Xuan's palm strike.

These three originally very small pitch-black flames, after being blasted by Sun Xuan's palm, instantly flashed into a sky full of pitch-black fire rain.

The pitch-black fire rain blotted out the sun, smashing down overwhelmingly toward a Diyuan Underworld Clan city below.

Seeing this, that Diyuan Underworld Clan city below immediately raised its protective city formation.

Unfortunately, this pitch-black fire rain, which didn't look like much in Sun Xuan's hands, was like a monstrous disaster the moment it fell onto this city.

Under the beating of the sky-filling fire rain, the protective city formation shattered in an instant.

Then countless buildings in the city, and the Diyuan Underworld people inside, instantly turned into patches of flying ash under the sky-filling pitch-black fire rain.

The Diyuan Underworld people who died in this sky-filling pitch-black fire rain, ranging from Elders who had reached the Soul Formation stage,

down to low-level Underworld people who had just reached the Qi Refining realm.

In the entire city, almost no one escaped, all dying in this natural disaster-like pitch-black fire rain.

This shows just how formidable the power of the Underworld Emperor's three pitch-black flames really was.

And after Sun Xuan shattered these three pitch-black flames with a single claw,

even though his Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong body was extremely formidable, at this moment he was shaken back by dozens of zhang by this rebound force.

Under this wave of fiercely powerful collision, the Underworld Emperor's figure also couldn't help stepping back into the air repeatedly.

Even the two dim light flames within the eye sockets of the strange skull in front of his chest were compressed to the size of a needle tip under the pressure of Sun Xuan's claw.

They had almost reached the extent of being directly extinguished by Sun Xuan's claw.

In this tit-for-tat fierce clash, neither Sun Xuan nor the Underworld Emperor managed to gain any advantage.

The Underworld Emperor, who was shaken back by Sun Xuan, did his best to pacify the huge surge of magical power in his body.

And Sun Xuan, being in mid-air, also gently shook his claws that had been numbed by the shock.

Sun Xuan's eyes grew even colder, and a dim voice suddenly slowly came out from the mouth of the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong.

"Dimension Annihilation Seal!"

Sun Xuan mobilized a tiny wisp of the True Body fragments absorbed from the bodies of the Third Prince and Seventh Prince.

When he was in the outside world, the power belonging to the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon was entirely suppressed in the deepest part of Sun Xuan's Soul.

It could only be expressed in the form of the Ten-Thousand-Fold Return System through the descended body of Sun Dachu.

Otherwise, once Sun Xuan dared to reveal even a tiny bit of his True Body as the Outer Realm Heavenly Demon,

he would immediately suffer all-out, comprehensive devastating blows from this world without sparing any effort.

This world not only included the Immortal Cave realm, but the entire Renegade Immortal World, including the Immortal Cave realm and the Xiangang Continent.

Therefore, instinctively, Sun Xuan's True Body had never made the slightest movement.

Even Sun Xuan's own perception had been deceived, making him mistakenly believe that Sun Dachu was his True Body.

And his true True Body was mistakenly thought by Sun Xuan to be merely a Golden Finger.
