”No one dares to touch the Nine Netherworld, but I, Ye Tianchen, will try to see!”

Boom!

Ye Tianchen unleashed a powerful Golden Dragon Fist Power, with the Taie Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, and Xuanyuan Sword paving the way ahead. He truly shattered through the layers of dark clouds and charged upwards, astonishing Zhang Ruotong and the two young disciples. They never expected that the Nine Netherworld would be so formidable, reaching the pinnacle of might, unmatched across the entire Ancient Martial World. Yet, Ye Tianchen still shouted out his voice, threw out his fist. In his presence, no forceful might would be compromised, even if lacking strength, he would fight to the last moment. This is Ye Tianchen’s perseverance, his undaunted Taoist Heart.

”Such audacity, I will detain your soul, making you never reincarnate!” That stern voice hesitated, but still spoke with undiminished authority.

”Hiding your head and tail, come out and fight if you have the guts!” Ye Tianchen roared angrily.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen was not acting recklessly or irrationally, but had realized that among these patches of dark clouds, although there were many horrifying images of demons and ghosts, controlled by someone. These images were menacing and had certain offensive capabilities, but finding this powerful and authoritative voice was key. Destroying these images meant nothing unless this person was found, it would simply be a waste of Martial Arts True Power.

”Facing me in battle, you are not worthy. First, defeat my Ghost Soldiers and Ghost Generals!” That authoritative voice said contemptuously.

In an instant, Ye Tianchen felt his vision blur, as countless demonic ghost images attacked, their sinister power incredibly potent. These were not intangible creations. Ye Tianchen sensed that if he were struck, he would die instantly. He had to evade these fatal attacks, while identifying where this controller of demons and ghosts hid.

Bang!

Bang!

The continuous barrage of Vajra Divine Fist dispersed the demonic ghost images attacking Ye Tianchen. Simultaneously, Ye Tianchen charged forward swiftly. High above the abyssal canyon, there were innumerable dark clouds, and only by shattering them one by one could he find the hidden person controlling the ghosts. Ye Tianchen also used his strong Divine Sense to explore. He discovered that these demon and ghost images carried a dominant Yin Force - a chilling and lifeless energy, unsettling to the soul and affecting his Divine Sense. The Nine Netherworld was indeed exceptionally eerie. This battle was far more perilous than the one against the Netherworld Blood Demon.

Clap!

Ye Tianchen struck with his palm, destroying a segment of dark cloud in the sky. Other than a group of demonic ghost figures surging forward, there was nothing else. Ye Tianchen punched them to shreds, then swiftly turned his palm to strike another patch of dark cloud. He refused to believe that after annihilating all these dark clouds, he would not unearth the hidden figure of the Nine Netherworld.

”Some skill, but still too green. All the ghosts come forth...”

In an instant, tens of thousands of demonic ghost images appeared around Ye Tianchen, all rushing toward him. No matter how Ye Tianchen punched, and no matter how fast he punched, destroying one group, another would take its place; it seemed endless. Ye Tianchen tirelessly swung his fists, but these demon ghost images drew closer, surrounding him from all directions, making escape impossible.

Wailing of malicious spirits echoed, unbearably mournful, the kind of sound that made one’s hair stand on end, as if originating from Hell. Witnessing this scene, Zhang Ruotong’s tears fell. She desperately wanted to rush in to save Ye Tianchen but lacked the battle power. Under the present influence of the demon ghost images, Zhang Ruotong’s Martial Arts True Power was suppressed. Her Cultivation Realm was already low, and the only reason she wasn’t collapsing was thanks to the strong Great Formation the Divine Calculation left long ago.

”Tianchen...” Zhang Ruotong shouted loudly.

”Opposing the Nine Netherworld means even an Emperor doesn’t have the courage!” That person arrogantly and insolently declared, describing the Nine Netherworld as invincible in the world, and intimating that even a Supreme Emperor dare not provoke it.

The mass of ghosts engulfed, as Ye Tianchen was enclosed amidst tens of thousands of evil spirits. Harsh cries resonated throughout the heavens and earth. At first, Ye Tianchen’s glittering punched brilliance could be seen, but now, nothing was visible, nor was there any sound of his fists. Despite the three Ancient Divine Swords still surging upwards, cleaving strong Sword Qi and shattering the dark clouds, their dominance faded notably, indicating Ye Tianchen lacked extra strength to control the three Ancient Divine Swords.

”Die! Those who oppose the Nine Netherworld have only one path to death. There are no exceptions!”

It was silent. Just moments ago, Ye Tianchen continuously unleashed golden fist rays, striking the sky and causing it to explode. Giant golden dragons traversed the sky, scattering patches of black clouds. But now, it’s dead silent; apart from the sky echoing with the eerie wails of countless ghosts charging forth, there’s no trace of Ye Tianchen.

”Tianchen...” Zhang Ruotong wept, shouting loudly at the sky.

”No need to shout. I’ll soon send you to join him. He’s been entirely consumed by the ghosts, not even leaving behind a soul, ending in a state of complete annihilation.”

”Buddha... saves... all... beings...”

Word by word, suddenly Ye Tianchen’s voice echoed across the heavens and earth. Blasts of golden light surged forth, causing the ghosts to scream in agony, while tens of thousands of demons and ghost monsters fled as if for their lives. A massive ”Buddha” symbol surged forth. Ye Tianchen stood in the sky, his whole body radiating golden light. Flowing around him were words of ”Buddha” overflowing with divine power. This was Ye Tianchen’s alternative use of the Yijin Jing and Buddhist Divine Arts, which he hadn’t anticipated to be so potent, proving to be far more effective than his direct confrontations with these demonic apparitions.

”Buddhist Holy Skills, Buddha saves all beings. You actually possess the Buddhist Absolute Skill?” That majestic voice couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise.

Ye Tianchen did not speak. His entire body was surrounded by ”Buddha” symbols, golden words of Buddha, rushing towards all directions. Instantly, these demonic ghost images, no matter how powerful or ferocious, appeared to see the Death God, wailing and fleeing. Unfortunately, wherever the golden Buddha symbols reached, all ghostly images dissolved, completely vanishing into the void.

”Whatever tricks you have left, just use them. I’ve decided to provoke the Nine Netherworld!” Ye Tianchen calmly declared, not impulsively.

”Foolishness. Do you think victory is yours now? Four Ghost Generals, if not now, when?”

The person hidden in the shadows of the Nine Netherworld spoke harshly. After speaking, Ye Tianchen warily glanced around. Though he had found a method to eradicate those ghost images using the Buddhist Holy Skills recorded in the Yijin Jing, he still dared not underestimate these ghostly apparitions. Each carried Yin Sen power, an insidious force invisible yet palpable, like a formless energy capable of binding a person’s soul, rendering them powerless to escape, resulting in their body and Divine Sense to turn to ash, utterly consumed.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four powerful forces emerged, targeting Ye Tianchen from four different directions. Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow at these forces he couldn’t see but instinctively sensed. With a thought, the Taie Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, and Xuanyuan Sword guarded three positions, while Ye Tianchen turned and struck with a punch at the other direction.

Bang!

An explosion sounded from thin air, and Ye Tianchen’s expression turned grave. These four intangible forces were extremely potent, tightening Ye Tianchen’s heart. According to his estimation, those who wielded these forces possessed combat power no less than his own, as if he were facing four Mid Martial Venerate level opponents alone, a challenging prospect for him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Four figures appeared around Ye Tianchen, each at a cardinal point. These four individuals were clad in ancient soldiers’ armor, wielding bright large blades, looking coldly at Ye Tianchen, lacking any facial features or life force. Their faces were utterly black, like there was nothing there, just empty armor, quite eerie and mysterious.

Simultaneously, the four figures in ancient soldiers’ armor charged at Ye Tianchen, blades flashing, slicing out streams of formidable Sword Energy aimed to tear Ye Tianchen apart. Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel startled by the four figures. They could be considered ghosts, devoid of life, merely driven by a single undead Divine Thought, transformed into machines of slaughter, only to be manipulated by others. Each possessed combat power around Mid Martial Venerate level, presenting quite a challenge for Ye Tianchen to face alone.

Still, he could only first command the three Ancient Divine Swords to block the killing moves from three directions of the Ghost Generals. Ye Tianchen faced one Ghost General alone, striking with his fist, aiming to seize the opportunity to eliminate all four Mid Martial Venerate level Ghost Generals simultaneously, which was very difficult, necessitating a strategy of breaking them down one by one.

However, Ye Tianchen was confident he could shock and kill the four Ghost Generals, despite each having Mid Martial Venerate combat power. After all, they were animated corpses and not living Martial Artists, somewhat restricted in their combat effectiveness. At this time, Ye Tianchen stood at the Peak of Mid Martial Venerate cultivation, knowing it was only a matter of time before he destroyed the four Ghost Generals. He sought to quickly solve the issue regarding the person from the Nine Netherworld, hidden somewhere. If not found and killed swiftly, further upheaval might ensue, a calamity he couldn’t let befall the Heavenly Number Mysterious Sect. (To be continued.
