Supreme of the Heavenly Realm

In the boundless sea of Netherworld Energy, a blended light and shadow zipped across swiftly. Wherever it passed, the surrounding Netherworld Energy eroded madly. However, each time these residual energies came into contact with that Light Shield, a sizzling sound would erupt. Those ancient runes slowly circulated, directly evaporating all of the Netherworld Energy.

Within the Light Shield, Ye Xuan slightly closed his eyes. Soul power spread out, trying his best to sense the exact positions of the three Netherworld Emperors within the sea of Netherworld Energy.

However, his sensing obviously didn't yield quick results. This Netherworld Sea was quite vast, and the dense Netherworld Energy within it posed a considerable obstacle to Ye Xuan. Quickly finding one of the Netherworld Emperors hidden somewhere in it was evidently not a simple task.

"This Netherworld Sea seems extraordinarily vast. From here to the real core, there must still be some distance."

Ye Xuan looked at the seemingly endless Netherworld Sea. He now knew that the waters here were unusually deep. The deeper he went, the more he could feel the mysteriousness of this place. However, at this moment, he could only grit his teeth and plow ahead swiftly beneath the Netherworld Sea.

And as Ye Xuan sped through the Netherworld Sea, he also discovered that as he delved deeper, the Netherworld Energy emerging from below became increasingly rich. An eerie cold feeling wrapped around him, startling Ye Xuan somewhat, but fortunately, he had the protection of the Heavenly Emperor Netherworld Stone. Otherwise, he would likely have already been eroded to madness by the Netherworld Energy.

"It seems I'm about to pierce through this Netherworld Sea."

This swift traversal continued for another half-hour. Ye Xuan's gaze suddenly sharpened as he sensed that the Netherworld Sea below had begun to show some interruptions. However, the intensity of the Netherworld Energy there grew increasingly terrifying.

"Is that the exit of this Netherworld Sea ahead?"

Ye Xuan's pupils slightly contracted. The closer he got, the more he could feel a dangerous aura emanating from the place.

Ye Xuan's eyes fixed tightly on the surging Netherworld Sea ahead. Then, with a soft shout, his body, enveloped in the Light Shield, finally pierced through the viscous sea of Netherworld Energy.

As his body passed through, his originally blurry vision suddenly became clear. The surrounding Netherworld Sea dissipated at this moment, but Ye Xuan paid no attention to this. His gaze was directed downward, and then a touch of shock slowly climbed onto his face.

What appeared before Lin Dong was an endless golden Light Shield. On the Light Shield, golden runes were spreading out. Upon closer inspection, this Light Shield seemed to be a massive Array. However, now, some dim cracks had appeared on the Light Shield, with strands of Netherworld Energy seeping through the cracks and merging into the Netherworld Sea above.

Penetrating through the golden Light Shield, one could see inside there were three gigantic Dark Towers suspended. On each Dark Tower, enormous black chains were coiled, extending outwards to connect the three Dark Towers. Those black chains were covered with ancient runes emitting an incredibly powerful aura.

Countless evil Netherworld Energy was frantically emanating from within the Dark Towers. Yet, whenever they emerged, they were completely absorbed by the black chains, which flickered with ancient runes, purifying all the Netherworld Energy.

"This place?"

Ye Xuan was surprised. This place exuded an extremely evil aura, with a strong and indistinct presence radiating from each of the three Dark Towers, suggesting that the three giants were the places where the Netherworld Emperors were sealed.

"The seals have indeed been eroded."

Ye Xuan cautiously ventured within this Nether Prison, moving past the area, he noticed that the enormous chains entwining the Black Towers were showing signs of corrosion. The ancient runes etched upon them were dimming, and strands of Netherworld Energy were surging in this direction, spilling into the cracks in the golden Light Shield above.

However, the cracks were quite numerous, appearing on the verge of collapse, swaying as if in a storm.

Standing before these three mighty Dark Towers, Ye Xuan looked particularly small. The rampant Netherworld Energy swept past Ye Xuan's side, like Hell Demon Pythons, letting out fierce howls.

"This place is too strange. If things turn south, it's best to withdraw first."

Though Ye Xuan had agreed to help, he wasn't about to risk his life recklessly.

Cautiously slipping between the three colossal towers, Ye Xuan also restrained his aura. Although the three Dark Towers were sealed, being cautious wouldn't hurt.

"Hmm?"

When Ye Xuan came before the three Dark Towers, he suddenly sensed something. Turning his head, his eyes constricted as he saw that on one of the particularly massive Black Towers, a coiled black chain suddenly snapped. The sound of the chain's breaking fell loudly in the Nether Prison.

Crack, crack!

Like a chain reaction, one chain's break caused all three massive towers to fragment, emitting a popping sound akin to popcorn.

"Not good!"

Ye Xuan's expression changed, and he quickly retreated. He saw that the top of the three Dark Towers exploded, and three demonic figures suddenly emerged from the top of the towers.

"What is that?"

Ye Xuan abruptly looked up, as the three demonic figures took form, appearing as the silhouettes of three Netherworld people. But strictly speaking, these three were not Netherworld people because their bodies had perished; only their souls remained, so they should be called Netherworld Souls.

The strength of these three Netherworld Souls at the Martial Emperor Realm was naturally inferior to real Netherworld Emperors. However, even so, erasing Ye Xuan would be a trivial task for them.

"Heh, a human who hasn't even reached the Sealing Emperor level dares to intrude here, how reckless!" one of the Netherworld Emperors grinned, his smile chilling.

"Those old Dragon Clan guys are really cowardly, sending such a young lad to scout ahead. In that case, we can't let those old guys have their way."

"Nether Abyss Emperor, why don't we break out now and annihilate the Dragon Clan?"

A figure enveloped in a blood-red glow asked the person beside him.

"Blood Nether Emperor, don't underestimate the Dragon Clan. We are not assured of victory if we go out now. We should wait until we are fully restored."

That person shook his head.

"Then so be it. Leave this kid to me. By consuming his flesh and blood, I might recover faster."

With those words, the blood-red figure locked onto Ye Xuan before violently rushing out.

"Heh, little one, trying to run? Be good and stay with me, will you?"

As the blood light dissipated, a woman was revealed. Her skin was eerily pale, her hair blood-red, and her makeup wickedly stunning, exuding a twisted sense of beauty.
