Wang Wu Sells Herself, Demonic Path Wang Lin
Super Beast Armed World, Fifth Parallel Universe.
After entering the planet where King of the Underworld resided, his guardian, Lion King, appeared at once, glaring fiercely at Keisha and Liang Bing.
He thought these two women were very likely Snow Emperor’s subordinates.
But sending only two women to the Fifth Parallel Universe—wasn’t that looking down on them a little too much?
Although Snow Emperor was the strongest Special Energy sovereign among the seven Parallel Universes, their Fifth Parallel Universe was no pushover either.
"Uncle, I think you may have misunderstood something," Liang Bing said.
"A misunderstanding?"
"Then who are you? Why have you come to the Fifth Parallel Universe?"
Lion King asked, his gaze wary. Though he was angry, he could sense the extraordinary power within Liang Bing and Keisha.
"We came from another universe. We don’t know what happened here," Keisha said.
Her expression was calm, and the majestic aura of an Angel queen radiated from her without notice.
Lion King could not help trembling, as though he were facing an invincible sovereign.
It was as if he had seen the kingly pressure that only King of the Underworld and Snow Emperor possessed.
"Another universe? Which of the seven Parallel Universes are you from?" Lion King asked. Though wary of their aura and power, he still calmed down and refused to let his emotions affect his judgment.
The Fifth Parallel Universe was isolated and without aid. One less enemy was always better.
"I do not quite understand these seven Parallel Universes you speak of. Theoretically, we do not belong to any of them. We came from a universe beyond them," Keisha said.
"Beyond the seven Parallel Universes?" Lion King’s face showed disbelief.
"A friend comes from afar!"
"Lion King, bring our guests to the Netherworld."
A voice that sounded cold yet was filled with authority came from deep within the planet.
It was not just Lion King. When Keisha and Liang Bing had suddenly arrived in the Fifth Parallel Universe, King of the Underworld had sensed their presence as well.
Hearing this, Lion King’s attitude changed. "Honored guests, please follow me."
Keisha and Liang Bing exchanged a glance, then followed Lion King down.
The Netherworld Gate was where King of the Underworld’s people lived. Unlike any other region in the Fifth Parallel Universe, it was the final pure land. Moreover, the gravity within the Netherworld was immensely powerful. Those who were not of the Netherworld would find it difficult to adapt unless they possessed powerful Special Energy or an unbreakable will strong enough to escape gravity’s suppression.
"Please."
Before them stood the Netherworld Gate. It looked like a black magic mirror, as though it were an entrance leading into the abyss.
Combined with the bleak, gray tone of the entire planet, Liang Bing could not help commenting, "Lion King, what’s with your aesthetic? You don’t look like good people."
"…"
Lion King fell silent for a moment before saying, "Where there is light, there is darkness. Light and darkness have always coexisted. Though we dwell in the abyss, our hearts still yearn for the light.
Your Excellency, it is not good to judge people through tinted glasses."
Keisha said nothing. She had been silently analyzing this Fifth Parallel Universe the entire time. She discovered soldiers in black armor everywhere, and the atmosphere was solemn, as though they were preparing for a great war.
Moreover, these soldiers were not weak. At the very least, they were no weaker than ordinary Angels. However, she did not yet understand this world’s cultivation system, so her judgment might have been off.
"You sure talk a lot, but you make sense." Rarely, Liang Bing did not argue back.
The three then stepped through the Netherworld Gate and entered the Netherworld. Everything before them immediately became even darker. Even the mountains and earth were black, and faint black aura seemed to seep from the ground.
At the center of the Netherworld stood a dark crystal palace. Like a sharp sword piercing the clouds, it was imposing and majestic.
Many Black Armor soldiers stood in ranks on both sides outside the palace. Holding long spears, they were orderly and imposing, with extraordinary auras.
"Lion King!"
When they saw Lion King, the soldiers all placed their arms across their chests, their faces filled with respect.
Lion King returned their salute before entering King of the Underworld’s palace.
After Keisha and Liang Bing entered the palace, they saw from afar a man clad entirely in black armor seated on a black throne atop crystal stairs. He was also holding a baby in his arms.
To be honest, it was a very strange sight—a figure like him holding a baby.
The man was naturally King of the Underworld, ruler of the Fifth Parallel Universe. The baby was Tian Yu, the daughter he had with the Phoenix Clan Princess and a future Super Beast Warrior.
Besides King of the Underworld, there was an elderly man with a snake head and tortoise body standing beside him. This was Xuan Yizi, a sage from the First Parallel Universe. His true form was a Black Tortoise. He was King of the Underworld’s friend and had devoted his life to maintaining balance and peace among the seven Parallel Universes.
"Welcome to the Fifth Parallel Universe, powerhouses from beyond the seven Parallel Universes."
King of the Underworld stood, placed the child onto his throne, and welcomed Keisha and Liang Bing according to Netherworld etiquette.
"Greetings, ruler of the Fifth Parallel Universe," Keisha said.
She could sense the weighty majesty of a sovereign around King of the Underworld. He was certainly no ordinary figure.
"I never expected there to be other universes beyond the seven Parallel Universes. Greetings. I am Xuan Yizi, and I welcome you two guests who have come from afar," Xuan Yizi said.
"No need for formalities. But it looks like things aren’t going too well here," Liang Bing said with a smile.
"Indeed, things are not going well. A war between Parallel Universes may break out soon. But why have you come here?" King of the Underworld asked.
"We were traveling about and randomly ended up here. We flew through the universe for several hundred years, encountered spatial turbulence, and arrived here.
That said, you have seven Parallel Universes. Your technology is pretty impressive if you can travel directly across universes. How do you do it?" Liang Bing asked.
"Every hundred thousand years, the seven Parallel Universes produce powerful gravitational forces. Those forces connect the seven universes, allowing beings with powerful Special Energy to enter other universes directly through their Special Energy.
Normally, we use wormholes to enter other universes, but it is extremely troublesome. The energy consumed each time a wormhole is opened is simply too great," King of the Underworld said.
"A hundred thousand years? Damn, may I ask how old you are, King of the Underworld?" Liang Bing asked.
"Over a hundred thousand years old," King of the Underworld said.
"…Impressive!" Liang Bing could not help praising him.
Liang Bing and Keisha both found it unbelievable. Angel Civilization only had a history of around a hundred thousand years, and they themselves were only a little over thirty thousand years old. Yet this King of the Underworld was already a hundred thousand years old.
Afterward, King of the Underworld, Xuan Yizi, Keisha, and Liang Bing spoke together, learning about information from one another’s universes.
They specifically discussed this universe’s cultivation system—the Special Energy system.
"In our universe, Special Energy is a form in which life exists. Every living being contains more or less Special Energy, but only Super Beast Warriors possess Special Energy far beyond that of ordinary lifeforms."
"The magnitude of Special Energy is extremely high, a billion times stronger than ordinary nuclear energy. Therefore, Black Holes or white holes are used as units of measurement for Special Energy."
"The source of Special Energy is conviction. Its strength depends on the strength of one’s conviction, and it continually rises as that conviction grows stronger. Conversely, if one loses the conviction one has upheld, one’s Special Energy will fall to a level that cannot even be detected, making one inferior even to an ordinary person."
King of the Underworld explained slowly, hiding nothing. After all, this was no secret. Anyone who cultivated Special Energy knew these principles.
"The amount of Special Energy is related to conviction? Isn’t that idealistic? If conviction were limitless, wouldn’t Special Energy be limitless too? Wouldn’t that make someone invincible?" Liang Bing asked.
Xuan Yizi stepped forward and smiled. "Not so. At critical moments, conviction can multiply one’s power, but the normal cultivation of Special Energy still requires steady accumulation over time."
"Heh, this would suit the warriors of our Angel Civilization well," Keisha said.
She had no doubt about the conviction of the Angel warriors under her command. Looking across the entire Universe, no one matched Angels when it came to never giving up and facing death without fear.
"Heh, my Demon Soldiers’ conviction won’t be any weaker either," Liang Bing said.
"Your universe’s god-making technology and concept of divine bodies are excellent as well," King of the Underworld said.
"Yes. By cracking the code of life’s genes, you can achieve immortality with ease and even mass-produce Super Warriors. It is difficult to imagine a race in which an entire civilization consists of gods," Xuan Yizi said.
"It’s not that amazing. Our civilization may be advanced, but it only has a history of a hundred thousand years. Meanwhile, people here can live for a hundred thousand years outright. Your lifespans are much longer," Liang Bing said.
In the original story, King of the Underworld had lived for a hundred thousand years, then been sealed away for another hundred thousand years, making him more than two hundred thousand years old.
Naturally, they soon sparred. King of the Underworld wanted to witness the power of Keisha’s universe, while Keisha likewise wanted to see this so-called Special Energy.
The two hit it off immediately, but the battle was very brief.
Keisha directly deployed the domain of the Devouring Method and dragged King of the Underworld into it. Within the domain, Keisha was the ruler. Unless King of the Underworld could shatter the domain with absolute power, he could not possibly be Keisha’s opponent.
Furthermore, the domain had absolute suppressive effects on other lifeforms, weakening their combat strength.
After unleashing all his Special Energy, King of the Underworld shook his head, admitted that he was inferior to Keisha, and ended the battle.
His Special Energy had now reached around five Black Hole Levels. Even among the seven Parallel Universes, he was a top-tier existence. Combined with the power of the Profound Nether Black Hole, he could be called the strongest beneath Snow Emperor.
"King of the Underworld lost!"
When Xuan Yizi saw King of the Underworld emerge from the domain, he silently sighed. It seemed Keisha and Liang Bing’s universe was extremely powerful.
"King of the Underworld!" Lion King could not help calling out.
"I lost," King of the Underworld said frankly.
"King of the Underworld, how does your strength compare to Snow Emperor’s?" Liang Bing asked.
Keisha’s victory had been expected. After all, Xu Yi had given them such an enormous advantage.
Hearing this, King of the Underworld answered, "Snow Emperor is undoubtedly the strongest of the seven Parallel Universes. Her Special Energy has reached around ten Black Hole Levels, perhaps even higher.
However, because our Special Energy attributes differ, Snow Emperor cultivates White Hole Power.
One white hole is equivalent to one and a half black holes!"
"Based on your evaluation of Snow Emperor, she is a ruler who loves peace? If they are coming to subjugate your Fifth Parallel Universe, then you must have done something outrageously unforgivable, right?" Liang Bing said.
"…" King of the Underworld.
"And you, old man Xuan. You are from the First Parallel Universe, so why are you staying here in the Fifth Parallel Universe? Which side are you on?" Liang Bing asked.
Xuan Yizi had never expected that someone would one day call him an old man. He replied, "I belong to no faction, because I only stand on the side of the weak. Moreover, war itself has no meaning. It merely increases casualties. When will the cycle of vengeance ever end?"
"What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again," Liang Bing suddenly said.
"??" Xuan Yizi froze. Why did those words sound so familiar?
King of the Underworld returned to his throne and picked up his child, a look of reminiscence appearing on his face. "We actually have no deep grudge against Snow Emperor of the Seventh Parallel Universe. Fate simply played with us, leaving us with no choice but to stand on opposing sides.
Snow Emperor is a good ruler, but not a qualified one. Her love embraces everything. She uses love to transform all life and shows mercy to all beings.
But love without a bottom line, love without principles, will ultimately create an unprecedented disaster."
The Fifth Parallel Universe mainly contained three races: the Wolf Clan, Lion Clan, and Phoenix Clan. King of the Underworld belonged to the Wolf Clan, Lion King belonged to the Lion Clan, and King of the Underworld’s wife belonged to the Phoenix Clan.
The three clans had always been in conflict, fighting endlessly. King of the Underworld had won Lion King over through his personal charm, but the Phoenix Clan had used deceit to cause the death of King of the Underworld’s wife, Phoenix. The entire clan had then gone to the Seventh Parallel Universe and sought refuge with Snow Emperor’s faction.
Thus began the conflict between the Fifth Parallel Universe and the Seventh Parallel Universe. With certain schemers secretly fanning the flames, King of the Underworld unknowingly took the blame for many things. By the time he learned the truth, it was already too late.
"Since growing weary of seeking, I have learned to find at once."
"Since a headwind rose, I have learned to sail against winds from every direction."
"After seeking for so many years, I have finally understood. There is only one way to end the wars of the world! That is to start another war and use killing to end killing!"
King of the Underworld’s gaze had never been more resolute as he spoke the thoughts in his heart.
Xuan Yizi sighed but said nothing.
"But you can’t beat Snow Emperor," Liang Bing said.
"…" King of the Underworld.
King of the Underworld was silent for a while before saying, "This war will not take place now, but in the future."
In truth, King of the Underworld had long planned everything—a grand scheme spanning a hundred thousand years!
Everything happening now was actually for Snow Emperor to see, merely to draw the Seventh Parallel Universe into the game.
Keisha said nothing. As a ruler, she could not possibly trust only King of the Underworld’s side of the story. As for what this world was truly like, she would see it for herself.
This was a conflict within King of the Underworld’s world, and she did not wish to interfere. She would let it develop as it would.
Still, she could study Special Energy. It was a rather good cultivation method.
Liang Bing was comparatively more emotional. King of the Underworld had said so many stirring words that her blood was boiling, and she wanted nothing more than to slaughter in all directions.
Supergod World, Juxia City.
A mirror appeared before Xu Yi, Yan, He Xi, and Angel King Yan. The images within showed everything Liang Bing and Keisha had experienced.
Soon, the mirror blurred and the images vanished. Xu Yi had withdrawn his divine ability. "Xu Yi, what happened? We had just reached the important part. Why can’t we watch anymore?" He Xi immediately asked.
"What’s there to watch? It’s Keisha and Liang Bing’s training. You’re not even going, yet you’re this excited," Xu Yi said.
"I’m enjoying the drama," He Xi said.
"Hehe, still enjoying the drama?" Yan teased.
"…Fine, at least we don’t need to worry about Keisha and Liang Bing’s safety in that universe," He Xi said.
"Xu Yi, do you know that universe? Is King of the Underworld a good person?" Yan asked.
"A good person? Yan, at your level, why are you still judging people as good or bad? At the level of King of the Underworld’s universe, in a Cosmic Level war, where is there any good or evil? It is nothing more than the manifestation of desire," Xu Yi said.
"That’s true." Yan suddenly understood, realizing that she seemed to have lost clarity because she was involved.
"Then what will the future of that universe be like?" Angel King Yan asked.
"Where there are people, there will be conflict. Even once this war ends, another war will soon begin. Fate is a cycle, repeating endlessly," Xu Yi said.
"That makes sense," He Xi agreed.
"Enough about that. He Xi, when are you heading back?" Yan asked.
"Heading back? What for?" He Xi asked.
"Ahem, this Angel wants to discuss some academic matters with Xu Yi. Do you want to join us?" Yan said with a straight face.
"? Oh? What academic matters?" He Xi asked.
"The origin of life." Yan grinned.
"…"
Hearing that, He Xi blushed furiously, cursing Yan as a female hooligan in her heart. She was not even hiding it now, openly making suggestive remarks right in front of everyone.
"…" Angel King Yan covered her face and laughed. As expected of herself.
"Hmph, I won’t be a third wheel."
He Xi shot Yan an annoyed glance before leaving.
"Don’t go, Heavenly Foundation King. Actually, it wouldn’t be impossible for us to discuss academics together," Yan called out.
"…Discuss my ass."
He Xi vanished into thin air, but her voice still carried over.
"Yan, He Xi is still your senior," Xu Yi said.
"A senior is a senior, but she can’t disturb the world of the three of us."
Yan smiled, sitting directly on Xu Yi’s lap. Her smile was like a flower, and her eyes were full of seduction.
"…" Xu Yi.
Chat group.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "So boring. Why hasn’t this Sword Immortal triggered any missions yet? Is my luck really that bad?"
Dragon Thor: "Missions? Since joining the group, this dragon has never seen one."
Da Gu Member: "Not bad. The missions are actually manageable, and just being in the group is already great."
Uchiha Madara: "Right!"
Feng Baobao: "Eating melon…"
Ye Hei: "Da Gu Member has a broad perspective!"
Iron Man: "Honestly, I haven’t run into many missions either. But that’s fine too. Developing slowly is actually pretty nice."
Foshan Ip Man: "Exactly! Being able to witness the sights of different worlds is already wonderful."
Bad Commander: "Agreed!"
Sword God Li Chungang: "Agreed!"
Sun Wukong: "This old Sun spends every day farming in Mother Nuwa’s Pan Peach Garden, huh?"
Fairy Yunxiao: "Ahem, the pressure on my side is still pretty great. One misstep, and the Intercepting Sect could be finished. It would be great if I could advance to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."
Sun Wukong: "No need to panic, Fairy Yunxiao. Won’t you be setting up some Zhu Xian Formation then? This old Sun will guard one of the formation eyes for your master, hehe."
Ye Hei: "Awesome, Monkey Bro!"
Han Li: "As expected of the Great Saint…"
Luo Feng: "Great Saint, you’re this bold—could it be that you’ve already broken through to the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"
Morax: "Terrifying indeed!"
Zhang Sanfeng: "!!"
Demon Child Nezha: "That’s amazing!"
Wang Lin: "Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal!"
Sun Wukong: "Close, close, but it should be enough, right? Immortal Ancient Willow God, what about you? Have you taken that step yet?"
Immortal Ancient Willow God: "Soon! Just a little bit more."
Sun Wukong: "Looks like everyone’s the same!"
Snow Moon Sword Immortal: "Jealous!"
Bi Cang Wang: "Truly jealous!"
Demon Venerable Chonglou: "Each person’s path cannot be replicated. Rather than envy others, one should redouble one’s efforts in cultivation."
Ye Hei: "Demon Venerable Bro is right!"
Iron Man: "Hard to disagree, but if I had the choice, I’d choose cheats."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Right!"
Xu Yi: "…"
Ye Hei: "The Group Owner is here!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Group Owner, I want to buy cheats. I’d even sell myself if I had to!"
Qian Renxue: "Where’s your dignity? Where’s your integrity?"
Bad Commander: "Ahem!"
Sword God Li Chungang: "Sword Immortal Wang, this…"
Sect Leader Yun Yun: "Terrifying!"
Sun Wukong: "Terrifying!"
Fairy Yunxiao: "Hiss!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Hehehe."
Xu Yi: "That’s ridiculous. If you just cultivate that technique properly, you can soar too. Is that really necessary?"
Xu Yi could not help but complain. He remembered modifying Wang Wu’s cultivation technique; if she cultivated seriously, she would at least be able to reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Yeah, but that takes time. It’d be best if I could reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in three days, hahaha!"
Ye Hei: "Wang Jindan, you really have quite an appetite!"
Iron Man: "I wouldn’t even dare imagine it."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Ahem, perfectly normal."
Xu Yi: "You’re beyond saving."
Tushan Second Head: "Putting aside Wang Jindan, who has no integrity, Group Owner and all you big shots, does anyone have a cultivation technique for concealing one’s aura and realm? Preferably one that makes it impossible for anyone to notice anything?"
Ye Hei: "I don’t, but my future self does. I can ask him. By the way, Sister Yaya, why do you need that technique?"
Qian Renxue: "Yeah, why cultivate something like that? Wouldn’t it be enough to crush everything in your path?"
Han Li: "This is called being cautious!"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Sounds like you want to play dirty."
Tushan Second Head: "Not at all. Now that this old lady has mastered her divine art, I’m already invincible in the mortal world. Staying in Tushan all the time is boring, so I’m planning to take my sisters out for a look around. But I don’t want to reveal my identity or aura."
Bad Commander: "Even if you can conceal your aura and realm, the moment you make a move, you’ll definitely release demonic power. Wouldn’t that still expose you?"
Tushan Second Head: "???"
Wang Lin: "I happened to draw a cultivation technique for concealing one’s aura. It also seems capable of simulating magical power, perfectly hiding one’s aura. If you do not mind, Senior, I can give it to you."
Ye Hei: "Brother Wang, weren’t you a mortal? You’re cultivating already?"
Wang Lin: "Ahem, I just borrowed ten thousand points and happened to set foot on the path of immortality."
Iron Man: "Nice."
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "As expected of a newcomer. He borrowed ten thousand points the moment he joined the group."
Zhang Sanfeng: "The waves behind drive on those before!"
Tushan Second Head: "Really? That works. But I don’t want to owe anyone a favor either. If there’s anything you need help with, just say it."
Wang Lin: "There really is something I need help with."
Tushan Second Head: "Let’s hear it!"
Wang Lin: "Although I’ve begun cultivating, my talent limits me to Qi Condensation Great Perfection. Even a Foundation Establishment Pill cannot help me establish my foundation."
Tushan Second Head: "I’m not good at breakthroughs in realm either, and every world has different rules."
Wang Lin: "Ahem, I don’t need help breaking through. I just hope Miss Yaya can capture a few cultivators with decent talent and send them to me."
Tushan Second Head: "That’s not a big problem. What do you need them for?"
Wang Lin: "My cultivation technique can devour another person’s bloodline, foundation, and talent to make up for my own deficiencies. If I devour a Foundation Establishment cultivator, I can inherit their talent and break through my realm."
Ye Hei: "?? That sounds a little familiar. Is this a proper cultivation technique?"
Luo Feng: "Damn. Brother Wang Lin doesn’t sound like a good person. Are you really a proper Cultivator?"
Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Stealing someone else’s bloodline and foundation—this is straight-up demonic cultivation!"
Han Li: "Hiss, I’m out of here. Fellow cultivator Wang, my talent isn’t good."
Wang Lin: "…I just want to break through."
