Buddhist Sect!

Nine Netherworld!

Ye Tianchen firmly believes that there must be some connection between the two, very likely these two legacies, one righteous and one evil, are resisting each other, because the Nine Netherworld focuses on capturing human bodies and souls, not only being able to use the bodies and souls of ordinary people and powerful martial artists for their own, turning them into walking corpses, but also able to detain those who have died, before their soul and divine thought completely dissipate, to arouse the resentment of their bodies and souls, using them as tools for murder in the Nine Netherworld.

You must know, powerful martial artists, after reaching a certain cultivation realm, always possess some incredible divine skills. When they reach the moment of sitting and dying, the body and soul will detach and cannot live anymore. However, at the moment of detachment, powerful martial artists can make their souls survive for a while. This short period is often the time for a martial artist to leave their legacy and meet those whom they remember. However, the Nine Netherworld uses such gaps to deploy powerful and vicious secret techniques. Some martial artists are too strong while alive, and even the Nine Netherworld cannot easily capture their body and soul. But, when they are about to sit and die, the Nine Netherworld will make their move. No matter how powerful a martial artist is, they need the combination of body and soul to use deep martial arts divine skills. It’s a simple rationale: a martial artist’s martial arts true qi resides in the dantian. When their soul separates from their body, even if powerful divine thoughts survive, without martial arts true qi to command, how can they perform strong martial arts divine skills?

The Nine Netherworld is a profoundly rooted and terrifying organization, whose origins can even be traced back to when the Human Clan first emerged. How horrific must that be? It’s a legacy that uses the bodies and souls of the powerful as killing machines, then plunders various treasures and cultivation treasure books.

However, the Buddhist Sect is different. The Buddhist Sect seeks to save all beings with compassion, not only rescuing ordinary mortals from suffering but even transforming powerful and overly aggressive martial artists. Even when resentment does not dissipate, solitary and stray ghosts existing in the world, martial artists preserving their souls with some powerful secret techniques upon death, living in confusion among ghost monsters, can be transformed by the powerful Buddhist scriptures, highlighting the strength of the Buddhist Sect.

Therefore, Ye Tianchen firmly believes in his heart that the legacies of the Buddhist Sect and the Nine Netherworld might very well be one righteous, one evil, one yin, one yang, opposing and restraining each other. As for why this is, it’s unknown. Of course, Ye Tianchen won’t be like mortal people in the mortal world, believing righteousness will always triumph over evil and yin is certainly inferior to yang. The key to whether a legacy is strong enough to conquer another is whether the person who obtained the legacy has enough talent and perseverance to train it to the highest realm and broaden its influence.

”You don’t need to waste your energy. Wanting to escape the secret technique of the Nine Netherworld, I’m afraid you don’t have that capability. Obediently follow me, I promise to lead you into the Eighteen Layers of Hell of our Nine Netherworld!” That sinister voice echoed in Ye Tianchen’s mind.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen’s soul was already pulled to the edge of his body. If he wasn’t desperately holding on, struggling hard, he would really be doomed. Once the body and soul detach, a martial artist can hardly survive. Even the strongest martial artist likely won’t last more than three hours, and in this state, there isn’t a trace of combat ability, only resigning to be slaughtered. This is the strength and cruelty of the Nine Netherworld, fearing the strong and bullying the weak, specially attacking powerful martial artists when they are weak. To reach the state of body-soul detachment, even in the martial arts world, it’s legendary, called ”Primordial Spirit Emergence”. However, to reach such a cultivation realm, even a paramount figure of the Emperor Realm probably couldn’t achieve it, because such martial arts divine skills are considered immortal techniques, and Primordial Spirit Emergence is a kind of immortal technique. If one doesn’t become an immortal, can they use immortal techniques?

Ye Tianchen was far from reaching such a level. Even the strong ones in the Emperor Realm likely find it hard to use such powerful martial arts divine skills as ”Primordial Spirit Emergence”. So, once Ye Tianchen’s body and soul separate, he is basically prey to be slaughtered. The legacy of the Nine Netherworld is vicious and mysterious, and dealing with someone like Ye Tianchen, they probably wouldn’t hesitate. By then, the Eighteen Layers of Hell, enduring torture and torment every day, that’s truly miserable.

Bam!

Another palm, Ye Tianchen hit himself again, creating large holes on both sides of his chest, with blood continuously dripping out. He felt his divine sense clear a little, so he could concentrate his divine thought more, pulling his soul back into the body. At this point, Ye Tianchen had no choice but to use such a self-harming method, with his soul being tugged, pulled outward by a powerful and mysterious force. Any martial arts divine skills were useless, only if his divine thought was strong enough, and his soul was strong enough, could he resist this mysterious force.

This self-harming method was used by Ye Tianchen to maintain a higher level of clarity amid intense pain. This way, he could fully concentrate his divine thought to resist the force trying to pull his soul out. At this point, Ye Tianchen really couldn’t think of a better way. To deal with such a mysterious force, any martial arts divine skills were useless, only mental power could restrain it. Ye Tianchen understood this very well.

”Humph, using this method to stay sharp enough, to resist the force pulling your soul away, you are indeed smart and have strong willpower, but using this method, even if you beat yourself to death alive, I’m afraid it’s futile... In the end, your soul will still be pulled out, taken away by me...” That eerie and sinister voice coldly said to Ye Tianchen.

”Cowardly rat, just dare to hide in the dark? Do you dare to come out and fight me?” Ye Tianchen replied coldly.

”Hahaha, what a joke. This is a secret technique from our Nine Netherworld Underworld. Anyone who masters this technique, regardless of their cultivation realm, is immensely powerful. With this secret technique alone, I can kill you without lifting a finger. You are simply unworthy!” That sinister voice laughed disdainfully.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brows. Although he hadn’t seen anyone from Nine Netherworld Underworld, he suspected someone was hiding in the shadows, controlling this secret art. Otherwise, how could there be such powerful force tugging at his soul, pulling it away from his body? Furthermore, according to Ye Tianchen’s speculation, if he was correct, the individual from Nine Netherworld Underworld wasn’t particularly powerful. They simply mastered this vicious secret technique, making it extremely difficult for anyone to escape. In a real battle, this person wouldn’t be his match.

So trying to provoke the person to show themselves seemed futile. The ones from Nine Netherworld Underworld were despicable and unprincipled, willing to do whatever it took to achieve their goals. This person certainly wouldn’t reveal themselves voluntarily, fearing Ye Tianchen might desperately counterattack and kill them. Hence, they hid in the dark, manipulating this secret art. If they successfully separated Ye Tianchen’s soul from his body and pulled out the soul, they’d win. No matter how strong Ye Tianchen was, he’d be at their mercy.

Bang! Ye Tianchen struck and broke his left hand!

Bang! Ye Tianchen struck and broke his right hand!

Bang! Ye Tianchen punched and broke his left leg!

Bang! Ye Tianchen punched and broke his right leg!

Next, Ye Tianchen continued to harm himself repeatedly, trying to stay alert through severe pain. Only then could he fully concentrate his Divine Thought, gaining enough power to resist the force pulling at his soul. After Ye Tianchen punched and broke his right leg, his entire body was severely injured. Even he hadn’t expected the secret technique from Nine Netherworld Underworld to be this powerful, forcing him to such a dire situation. If he continued to harm himself like this, he might end up killing himself!

”Ye Tianchen is truly admirable!”

”Such perseverance is sought after yet rare in martial artist cultivation!”

”Having hurt himself to this extent, even if he breaks free from Nine Netherworld’s secret technique, he might still be half dead!”

”Are you three planning to rush over to kill Ye Tianchen and gain a share? I’d advise against taking the risk. Ye Tianchen is utterly unpredictable, unfathomable, impossible to judge by common sense.”

”Do you mean Ye Tianchen still has combat power and can escape from Nine Netherworld’s secret technique?”

”Just watch and you’ll see.”

Ye Tianchen’s face was pale to an extreme, blood loss was extensive, and he was incredibly weak. Yet, he persisted fiercely, holding onto hope without any thought of surrender. He couldn’t die, couldn’t let the vicious secret art of Nine Netherworld succeed. If it did, not only would Ye Tianchen lose his life, but his friends and family in the Mortal World and Ancient Martial World would suffer as well. Nine Netherworld’s inheritance is deeply terrifying, causing great concern and dread. He must survive here.

”I told you, it’s useless. Even if you beat yourself to death, your soul will still be dragged out by me. Being an enemy of Nine Netherworld Underworld seals your fate with death!” The cold voice said disdainfully. (To be continued.
