When Guo Ran heard that something was about to come out, he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran away. After Guo Ran disappeared from the entrance, Long Chen noticed that the exit area had been densely packed with runes lit, but now only one rune remained.
Only then did Long Chen understand that this exit was actually calculated by headcount—one left was one less person. How many people arrived when they arrived, how many left when they left—it could only be fewer, not more.
Seeing that Guo Ran had already left, Long Chen took a deep breath. At that moment, the Dragon Bone Evil Moon warned:
"Long Chen, this thing might be tainted by karma. Are you sure you want to take it?"
"Not taking good things is not my style. As for karma, who can say for sure whether something is good or bad? Since I can't explain clearly, I'll just close my eyes and do it. Long
Chen chuckled, then suddenly let out a sharp shout. A divine ring surged behind him, stars swirling in his eyes, his whole body covered in dragon scales, his feet on the earth, and power erupted.
The ground was shattered by Long Chen's violent force, and Long Chen suddenly pulled his arms backward.
With a loud bang, a door knocker with the monster's head detached from the main gate. Just as Long Chen had predicted, the door pin on the knocker was not secure.
But as soon as the door knocker fell, Long Chen immediately felt his scalp tingle, his hair standing on end, and a terrifying threat surged in his heart. It was as if a deadly beast was staring at him.
"Boom!"
Long Chen squeezed his arm again, pulling down another door knocker along with the beast's head, flying straight toward Long Chen.
"Collect!"
Long Chen shouted sharply, the Chaos Pearl swirling, directly retracting the two beast heads with door rings as large as mountains, and bolted away.
"Rumble rumble... Suddenly
, the gates of hell slowly opened, revealing a huge head, pitch black and even larger than the gate.
"Oh my... What is this thing? Long
Chen was so scared his face turned green, unable to see what it was, but he saw a pair of huge eyes. Being stared at by those eyes made him feel like his soul was about to fly out.
"Roar!"
The head was so huge that it was stuck inside the gates of hell and couldn't get out, suddenly letting out a furious roar.
As soon as that roar rang out, the void shattered, space was torn apart, and Long Chen felt as if his soul was about to be shattered by that roar.
"Boom boom boom... The
head struggled wildly, crashing into the gates of hell. The massive fortress began to crack.
"It seems we've gotten into big trouble this time."
Long Chen saw the terrifying power of that massive monster, that even the gates of hell were about to shatter, and his scalp tingled.
"Boom!"
Finally, with a loud explosion, the massive city gates and two large gates shattered simultaneously, and a massive figure slowly emerged.
"Go ahead."
At that moment, Long Chen happened to reach the exit and plunged into it. As soon as he entered, the exit immediately closed.
"Boom boom boom boom... Long
Chen left, but the huge figure grew taller and taller, so huge that it was impossible to see its full form.
However, it could be seen that it actually had three heads, and its back was swollen, as if it had been lying face down, but now it was about to stand up.
As it stood up, countless chains thicker than mountains appeared behind it. In that instant, the entire underworld trembled.
Inside the Nether God Hall, Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, who was preparing to go into seclusion, both stared in shock at the distant scene. Ming Cangyue exclaimed, "
This Three Heaven-Swallowing Beasts have been suppressed since the birth of this Netherworld. How did it break free now?"
"It was Long Chen who tore off the seal and released it. That bastard, he didn't give him anything but came to get it himself. Now he's created a huge karmic relationship." Leng Yueyan said with a strange expression.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
At that moment, a thunderous explosion erupted in the distance. The chains, thicker than mountains, shattered one after another, and finally, the massive creature broke free.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
After escaping, the monster roared several times toward the sky, causing the entire Netherworld to tremble. Suddenly, a pair of sharp claws appeared, tearing a huge hole in the void. Its massive body slowly burrowed into the void and finally vanished.
"Now it's trouble. If the Three Heaven-Swallowing Beasts escape, the entire Underworld will be in chaos.
As it just said, the humiliation it suffered would be repaid a hundredfold. Ming Cangyue said gravely.
Leng Yueyan smiled, "This has nothing to do with us. The laws of the path to the Nether are self-contained and beyond our control. This isn't our fault."
And the more chaotic the underworld gets, the more advantageous it is for us. You don't need to go into seclusion; someone will soon come to investigate this matter. We need to prepare countermeasures."
Hong Yaoyang will definitely exaggerate and deliberately cause trouble for us, so we need to be on guard. "
Ming Cangyue nodded. The release of the Three Heaven-Swallowing Beasts is something that must be earth-shattering. Long Chen is a troublemaker who can cause too much trouble.
...
Whoosh!
Long Chen opened his eyes, stood up, and saw the Dragon Blood warriors all wearing expressions of wild joy, clenching their fists and sensing their own changes.
Mengqi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, and the others looked astonished. Mengqi looked at the necklace around her neck, puzzled.
Chu Yao was the same, holding the pitch-black stick in her hand, lost in thought. The others were the same. After leaving the path to the Underworld, all their memories vanished, so they stared blankly at these gifts.
"Long Chen, what's going on? It seemed like a gift from someone, but I couldn't remember a thing. Mengqi looked at Long Chen and said somewhat curiously.
"You don't need to be surprised. The things in your hands were all gifts from Leng Yueyan." Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen briefly explained what had happened in the Underworld. After all, they had already accepted Leng Yueyan's gift, and the karma was already tainted, so there was no need to hide it.
With Long Chen's reminder, Mengqi and the others were finally awakened to certain memories from the Underworld, gradually recalling what happened after clearing the level.
"Boss, did it work in the end?"
When everyone's memories were awakened and all the memories afterward revived, Guo Ran immediately asked about those two door knockers.
"Heh, when has your boss ever made a mistake?" Long Chen chuckled.
With a gesture of his large hand, two ghost-faced house numbers appeared. On the ghostly face's nose hung a copper ring, looking extremely fierce.
"Why is it so small?" And the aura was different. Guo Ran said in surprise.
Long Chen said, "That's because this is the Tianwu Continent, and the laws of the two worlds are different. These things can be big or small. Take them and study them slowly."
It's agreed that we'll each take one, so don't think you can keep it all to yourself. "
Hehe, boss, don't worry. Even if I had the heart to carry your things, I wouldn't have the guts." Guo Ran chuckled.
Seeing everyone return, each person's primordial spirit solidified to the extreme, a weight finally lifted from Long Chen's heart.
When Long Chen and the others emerged from seclusion, Yue Xiaoqian was already waiting at the door. However, to their surprise, Yue Xiaoqian and the other powerful members of the Primordial Demon Clan had already advanced to Tongming.
Back then, Long Chen planned to bring Yue Xiaoqian along to challenge Tongming with everyone. Later, Yue Xihan told Long Chen that the powerful members of the Primordial Demon Clan, unlike the beings of the continent, could not join them in the assault, so they had to split up.
Unexpectedly, Yue Xiaoqian not only succeeded before them but had also completed her tribulation and officially advanced to the Tongming Realm.
"Long Chen, the outside world is starting to get chaotic." Yue Xiaoqian saw Long Chen appear and couldn't help but speak anxiously.
"What?" Long Chen was startled.
Yue Xiaoqian said, "You haven't shown up for half a year. Many people think something is wrong with you. Now, the major forces like Dan Valley, the Ancient Clan, the Evil Path, the Ancient Family Alliance, and the Xuan Beast Clan have started deliberately targeting the righteous path... Long
Chen and the others were shocked. They thought it had only been a few days since they had been in the Underworld, but unexpectedly, Half a year has passed on the Tianwu Continent.
In fact, what Long Chen didn't know was that they should be just like everyone else—about three months to come out.
But later, when they were bathed in the divine light of the path to the underworld, they were delayed for a moment, and that place was an extremely strange place.
Leng Yueyan distributed gifts to Mengqi and the others, delaying the time spent bathing in the divine light, allowing them to benefit greatly without realizing it.
However, time flowed extremely fast. To Long Chen and the others, it was only an hour, but in reality, three months had already passed outside.
As a result, Long Chen and the others arrived three months late. Many things happened on the continent, and the powerful figures from various factions succeeded in their breakthroughs. After crossing the tribulation, they all stepped into the Tongming Realm.
Dan Xianzi, Tian Xiezi, Kunpengzi, Dongfang Yuyang, Ximen Tianxiong, Nangong Zuiyue, Beitang Rushuang, Ye Lingshan, Mo Nian, Hu Feng, and other powerful figures emerged from seclusion. For a time, the Tianwu Continent was in turmoil, and their strength soared.
After the Tianwu Continent's strength surged, they launched an assault on the Yin-Yang Realm. The Yin-Yang Realm seemed to be at a disadvantage, unable to fight back, and even began retreating deep into the realm.
As a result, the prodigies of the Tianwu Continent rushed deep into the Yin-Yang Realm, competing to kill blood clan experts and collect ancient essence blood.
At first, things were fine, and everyone kept to themselves, but over time, divisions began to arise: there were too many righteous strongmen, but too few elites, often bullied and driven out.
Most of the time, the righteous disciples endured, since it was peacetime now. Without the strong, many times the battlefield was handed over to them.
However, as time went on, the major powers seemed to have been spoiled to the point of becoming vulnerable, frequently driving out righteous disciples and occupying larger battlefields.
The righteous disciple was filled with anger. Ye Lingshan reported this to the Divine Clan, but the Divine Clan replied, 'Eat as much meat as you can. If you can't eat it yourself, let someone else take it.'
Ye Lingshan was furious. The Divine Clan was clearly siding with other forces and unfair, but later she learned that the Eighth Legion was no longer guarding the outer perimeter of the Yin-Yang Realm, but had been temporarily handed over to the Seventh Legion.
"Ye Benchang?" Hearing this, Long Chen's eyes narrowed immediately, and a murderous intent slowly appeared in his gaze.
