Chapter 122: Slaughter

Yet in this Diyuan world, for reasons unknown, he had previously not dared to mobilize even a shred of his original body's power.

Here, however, he was able to use a tiny bit of it.

Moreover, based on Sun Xuan's guess, that one-third of his original body fragment had also hidden within this Diyuan world because of its environment.

The moment this wispy power, which did not belong to this world, was mobilized, an extremely evil and malevolent aura suddenly rose from Sun Xuan's body.

Immediately afterward, this aura instantly surged into the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong's innate spatial Divine Ability.

After being unleashed by relying on Sun Xuan's supremely tyrannical Physical Body strength,

a great Divine Ability not of this realm abruptly pressed toward the Emperor of the Underworld, who wore a look of shock.

Under the Dimensional Destruction Seal cast by Sun Xuan, a large expanse of space around the Emperor of the Underworld was directly and completely locked down.

At this moment, it was already impossible for the Emperor of the Underworld to teleport, break through space, or establish a spatial passage to escape.

However, the Emperor of the Underworld was also a formidable overlord of his generation. Seeing that escape was impossible, his ferocity was thoroughly stimulated.

"Nether Prison Death Seal!"

At that very moment, only a low roar from the Emperor of the Underworld was heard as the pitch-black skull floating before his chest immediately drifted toward the top of his head.

Following that, streams of magical power carrying a sense of desolation continuously gushed out from the Emperor of the Underworld's body, then entered the pitch-black skull floating above his head.

Within that pitch-black skull, a burst of malevolent black light instantly erupted.

Abruptly, the black and white two-colored ring at the center of the Emperor of the Underworld's brow pierced out through his body, then rapidly rushed into the skull above his head.

After this black and white two-colored ring—which was a part of Sun Xuan's original body fragment—surged into that pitch-black skull,

the malevolence within the skull instantly became even more intense.

As for Sun Xuan's original body fragment that had transformed into the black and white two-colored ring, it was unknown what method these aborigines living inside Diyuan had used.

Not only did they split off a wisp and merge it into their bodies,

but they also blended a wisp of their own aura into this trace of Sun Xuan's original body fragment.

As a result, relying on the concealment of the aura of the living beings in this world of theirs, they could unexpectedly use the power of this trace of Sun Xuan's original body fragment without any scruples.

Furthermore, under the concealment of this wisp of aura, Sun Xuan, who dared not mobilize too much of his original body's power, was unable to snatch back this trace of the original body fragment they controlled.

At this exact moment, the malevolence-blazing pitch-black skull opened its large mouth wide.

In an instant, throughout this entire underground abyss, streams of dark green aura continuously appeared above the heads of one Underworld Clan Cultivator after another.

Then they rapidly converged toward the inside of this pitch-black skull.

The Emperor of the Underworld had actually extracted a wisp of the Soul Origin from the body of every single Underworld Clan Cultivator.

As for the Underworld people whose Soul Origins had been extracted, those with high cultivation bases were fine, and the impact wasn't too significant.

But for those with low cultivation bases, at best, their complexions would turn pale and they would collapse limply onto the ground, subsequently falling gravely ill and taking perhaps several months to recover.

At worst, they would likely lose a dozen or even decades of Lifespan, completely losing their cultivation from then on and never stepping onto the path of cultivation again.

After absorbing the Soul Origins of a large number of Diyuan Underworld Clan members, the malevolence within this pitch-black skull surged to the extreme.

It even directly rivaled the evil aura emitted by Sun Xuan's Outer Realm Heavenly Demon original body fragment.

But no matter how similar it was, after all, it wasn't the real thing; in front of Sun Xuan, a genuine Outer Realm Heavenly Demon, it was still a notch inferior.

After absorbing a massive amount of Soul Origin, fusing with a trace of power from Sun Xuan's original body fragment, and taking in a vast amount of magical power within the Emperor of the Underworld's body,

at this very moment, this pitch-black skull abruptly melted into a clump of jet-black, eerie liquid.

Following that, this jet-black liquid wriggled on its own and transformed into an extremely malevolent rune.

Then, without dodging or evading, it rapidly shot toward the Dimensional Destruction Seal slapped down by Sun Xuan.

In a split second, Sun Xuan's Dimensional Destruction Seal and the Emperor of the Underworld's Nether Prison Death Seal collided together.

The moment the two touched, an instant of silence appeared throughout the entire Diyuan space.

Immediately afterward, after the Nether Prison Death Seal intersected with the Dimensional Destruction Seal, the rune flashed rapidly and alternately between black and white colors within a fraction of a second.

Furthermore, the space enveloped beneath Sun Xuan's Dimensional Destruction Seal shattered and re-condensed millions of times within a single breath.

After space shattered, if it relied on healing itself, a certain amount of time would still be needed.

Yet under Sun Xuan's Dimensional Destruction Seal, the shattering and healing of this patch of space were forcibly initiated under the influence of the Dimensional Destruction Seal.

As for the Emperor of the Underworld, he hid within the power coverage range of the Nether Prison Death Seal, and the space where his figure was located was temporarily unaffected by the Dimensional Destruction Seal.

However, a short moment after the Dimensional Destruction Seal and the Nether Prison Death Seal clashed, the Nether Prison Death Seal ultimately failed to match the might of the Dimensional Destruction Seal.

The dense Soul Origin Qi and boundless magical power upon the Nether Prison Death Seal were rapidly diminished amidst the alternation of extreme space shattering and healing.

After just a moment's time, the Nether Prison Death Seal abruptly disintegrated and dissipated.

Leaving only a ring composed of black and white dual Qi, which rippled slightly in place and was about to pierce through space to return into the Emperor of the Underworld's body.

Seeing this, how could Sun Xuan allow this original body fragment stained with a trace of the Emperor of the Underworld's aura to be sent back?

At such a close distance, the giant claw of the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong transformed by Sun Xuan merely reached forward gently,

and it completely grasped this black and white two-colored ring in its hand.

The moment this black and white two-colored ring made contact with Sun Xuan's Physical Body, it stopped struggling.

Instead, under the summon of the original body deep within Sun Xuan's Soul, it completely fused into Sun Xuan's original body.

At this moment, upon seeing this scene, the Emperor of the Underworld was already shocked to the point of terror.

Under the strongest Move he cast by wagering everything, not only was he completely defeated by Sun Xuan,

but even his most important Holy Demon Seal was snatched away in an instant.

The Holy Demon Seal was intimately connected to every single member of the Underworld imperial family, obtained at the birth of each Underworld imperial family member through secret arts via the blessing of a holy artifact.

Once lost, it would inevitably result in severe damage to his Origin Qi.

At this moment, having completely lost the sensory connection to the Holy Demon Seal, the Emperor of the Underworld also immediately fell into a state of severe injury.

Following that, amidst the Emperor of the Underworld's despairing gaze, the Dimensional Destruction Seal cast by Sun Xuan also blasted toward him at this moment.

Where the Emperor of the Underworld was located, space continuously shattered and healed.

Under this continuously overlapping mighty force, the Emperor of the Underworld's Physical Body collapsed in an instant.

Immediately afterward, for the Emperor of the Underworld, who was left with only a dilapidated skeleton and Primordial Spirit, his Primordial Spirit also collapsed inch by inch under the subsequent spatial power.

After that, the skeleton wrapped by the Primordial Spirit also scattered into a patch of flying ash within a fraction of a second.

In the blink of an eye, all traces of the Emperor of the Underworld's existence in this world were completely wiped away by Sun Xuan.

"Hoo!"

After slaying the Emperor of the Underworld, Sun Xuan transformed from the body of the Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong back into the form of a Daoist.

Then, after gently exhaling a breath, he raised his foot and rapidly headed toward the direction of the Underworld imperial city.

With the fall of the Emperor of the Underworld, the entire Diyuan Underworld Clan fell into extreme panic at this moment.

Within this underground space, all the cities fell into chaos.

The other Underworld Clan people, fearing Sun Xuan's subsequent retaliation, continuously fled from Diyuan toward the ground above.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan did not bother with them.

Because within the bodies of ordinary Diyuan Underworld Clan members, his original body fragments were not fused; if they fled, let them flee, and he couldn't be bothered to care.

What truly concerned him were merely those so-called Underworld imperial family members, all of whom were people who had fused with his original body fragments.

Furthermore, that hidden one-third of his original body fragment was even something he had to retrieve.

After a short while, Sun Xuan had already arrived at the location of the Underworld imperial city.

However, Sun Xuan was in no rush to immediately enter the imperial city and hunt down those Underworld imperial family members scattered throughout it.

Instead, with a wave of his hand, eight restriction flags immediately shot rapidly toward the edges of the four city walls of the imperial city.

Immediately following that, under Sun Xuan's manipulation, the eight restriction flags suspended above the four city walls instantly shot out Restriction chains from their flag surfaces.

Innumerable Restriction chains completely wrapped around the entire imperial city.

Afterwards, under the casting of the magical seals in Sun Xuan's hands, an ultra-large-scale Jinduan Great Array enveloping the entire imperial city was set up at this moment.

After laying down this Jinduan Great Array, Sun Xuan raised his hand once more, and a chessboard exuding Immortal Qi abruptly emerged from his palm.

That artifact spirit turtle glanced at Sun Xuan with a trace of fear in its eyes, and unusually, it didn't say much nonsense.

Seeing this, the magical power within Sun Xuan's body immediately surged turbulently into this chessboard.

After Sun Xuan's magical power poured into it, this chessboard instantly became somewhat illusory and transparent.

Following that, Sun Xuan tossed this chessboard toward the air above the imperial city ahead.

This illusory chessboard instantly grew countless times larger, then slowly merged into the Jinduan Great Array that enveloped the entire imperial city.

The role of this Jinduan Great Array set up by Sun Xuan was only one, and that was to prevent anyone from leaving the imperial city.

Moreover, after fusing with that Immortal Artifact chessboard, the confinement power of this Jinduan Great Array became even more intense.

Even a reaching-the-zenith Cultivator would decisively be unable to break it open.

After setting up this Formation to prevent the Underworld imperial family from escaping, what remained was simply catching turtles in a jar.

A grim sneer revealed itself at the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth, and with a single stride, he stepped into this so-called imperial city.

After the Emperor of the Underworld fell into Sun Xuan's hands, all the Underworld imperial family descendants at this moment also fell into a state of panic.

Under the pressure of death, those brothers, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and so on of the Emperor of the Underworld all fled desperately and regardless of everything.

Yet before they could escape out of the city, a Jinduan Great Array shrouding the entire imperial city descended upon the tops of their heads at this very moment.

Upon perceiving all this, these imperial family descendants instantly became even more frenzied.

One by one, they launched attacks against the Jinduan Great Array as if their lives depended on it.

Regrettably, with their meager strength, wanting to break through the Jinduan Great Array into which Sun Xuan had fused the Immortal Artifact chessboard was undoubtedly wishful thinking.

Sun Xuan, who had stepped into the imperial city, looked at the members of the imperial family crazily striking the Jinduan Great Array all around, a grim and cold look flashing past his eyes.

Then he was seen reaching out and pointing slightly across the air toward a distant Soul Formation stage imperial family member.

The Dao patterns on Sun Xuan's Physical Body instantly condensed an archaic rune at his fingertips.

The moment the rune was condensed, it rapidly charged toward that Soul Formation stage imperial family member.

That imperial family member was seen suddenly bursting into a mist of blood under the impact of the rune.

A black and white ring immediately emerged within the blood mist.

Then it was restrained across the air by Sun Xuan with a trace of original body power, and subsequently drawn into his body, fusing into the original body deep within his Soul.

Seeing Sun Xuan begin to make a Move and kill people, the crowd of frantically fleeing Underworld imperial family descendants found their complexions turning even uglier one by one.

Their attacks on the Formation set up by Sun Xuan also became even more ferocious and sharp.

Regarding their actions of attacking the Formation, Sun Xuan completely ignored them.

Instead, strolling leisurely as if walking in his own courtyard, he walked forward from midair while executing Underworld imperial family descendants one by one with single finger strikes.

As for the other non-imperial Underworld Clan Cultivators in the imperial city, although quite a few of them joined the ranks of attacking the Jinduan Great Array out of fear of Sun Xuan's slaughter, Sun Xuan turned a blind eye to them; they were merely a group of ants who couldn't see the situation clearly, and Sun Xuan couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

Along with Sun Xuan's continuous slaughter of the Underworld imperial family descendants, the gathered original body fragments also grew increasingly numerous.

And as more original body fragments gathered, Sun Xuan's sensory connection to that one-third of the original body fragment also grew clearer.

The Underworld imperial family descendants at this moment had already been slaughtered by Sun Xuan to the point of utter terror.

Seeing that they could not escape, the crowd of Underworld imperial family descendants each had their ferocity stirred up.

At this moment, they unexpectedly spontaneously united and charged desperately to attack Sun Xuan.

"Heh, well-timed!"

Seeing this, Sun Xuan was not only unsurprised, but a trace of joy instead arose within his heart.

If these Underworld imperial family descendants ran about in all directions, Sun Xuan would inevitably have to waste quite a bit of effort hunting them down one by one.

Now that they had unexpectedly united to seek their own deaths, Sun Xuan could save even more effort.

A flash of purple light appeared in Sun Xuan's eyes, and a Heaven-Patrolling Yinglong the size of blotting out the sky had already manifested its form on the spot.

After executing the Yinglong Transformation, Sun Xuan charged forward directly to slaughter the oncoming crowd of Underworld imperial family descendants without dodging or evading.

After Sun Xuan executed the Yinglong Transformation, even the Emperor of the Underworld at the Great Perfection of Reaching the Zenith stage had died in his hands.

Let alone this bunch of stinking fish and rotten shrimp, few of whom were even at the Early Stage of Reaching the Zenith.

At this moment, Sun Xuan was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, slaughtering this group of Underworld imperial family descendants until rivers of blood flowed.

After beheading these Underworld imperial family descendants, the original body fragments fused within their bodies were also integrated one by one into Sun Xuan's own body.

After not much time at all, this group of Underworld imperial family descendants had been almost completely slaughtered by Sun Xuan.

Only three living captives whose wits had been scared out of them were captured alive by Sun Xuan while trembling all over.

As for the other Underworld imperial family members who had fused with his original body fragments, Sun Xuan had already wiped them out completely.
