Chapter 2204: Chapter 2204: Restoration of Immortal Realm Within Netherworld Road [Third Update]

Breaking the Law of the Netherworld Road relies on strength, while obtaining the Netherworld Heart requires a certain amount of luck. If luck is truly bad, one might not get the Netherworld Heart even after unraveling the Law numerous times.

Jing Yan’s luck was good; he obtained a Netherworld Heart on his first unraveling of the Netherworld Road.

After storing the Netherworld Heart from the stone platform, Jing Yan bypassed the platform and continued forward. Each stone platform on the Netherworld Road could be seen as reaching an endpoint, yet it’s not truly an endpoint. Because beyond each stone platform, the Netherworld Road continues stretching into the distance.

Over the next six months, Jing Yan unraveled the Netherworld Road four times but did not obtain another Netherworld Heart.

“Maybe I should first restore to the Immortal Rhythm Level.”

“Reaching the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm might make unraveling the Netherworld Road’s Law faster,” Jing Yan pondered.

In fact, before entering the Netherworld Map, Jing Yan had already decided to restore to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm within the Netherworld Road. Only by reaching the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm could Jing Yan ensure his survival against the full might of the Black River Heavenly Monarch.

Jing Yan forcibly broke through the blockade of the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s clone to enter the Netherworld Road, so he could foresee the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s fury. It is imaginable that once the Netherworld Road closes, how could the Black River Heavenly Monarch not attack him? Jing Yan was prepared for this.

No matter if he could obtain the Netherworld Heart within the Netherworld Road or not, Jing Yan would restore to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Level before the Netherworld Road closed.

Jing Yan’s resources, like the Black Crystal Stone, were abundant. He had already reached the Immortal Rhythm Level in the Chaos World, so this Immortal Rhythm Barrier did not exist for Jing Yan. What he needed was accumulation and sufficient resources.

Before entering the Yellow Spring Cave, Jing Yan could actually restore to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm. However, Jing Yan felt the timing wasn’t mature; rushing the restoration might affect his future advancement to the Immortal Venerable Level. But when facing the Black River Heavenly Monarch, Jing Yan could no longer afford to delay and thus had to restore to the Immortal Rhythm Level within the Netherworld Road.

Now that he has obtained a Netherworld Heart, Jing Yan feels much more assured. With the Netherworld Heart and plenty of Netherworld Crystal Stones, Jing Yan can restore to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm Cultivation in a quite perfect state.

“Let it be!”

“With enough resources, the Netherworld Heart, and a great number of Netherworld Crystal Stones, it won’t take too long to restore,” Jing Yan slightly squinted his eyes, sat down immediately, and took out large amounts of resources like the Black Crystal Stone.

Jing Yan prepared to restore to the Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm.

…

The Black River Heavenly Monarch’s true body was also in the Netherworld Map, attempting to unravel the Netherworld Road’s Law.

So far, the Black River Heavenly Monarch had found stone platforms but hadn’t obtained a Netherworld Heart.

He very much wanted to eliminate Jing Yan, who was also inside the Netherworld Map, but he couldn’t lose focus now. With so many roads in the Netherworld Map, it was difficult for him to find Jing Yan’s whereabouts. His Divine Thought couldn’t penetrate other Netherworld Roads from his current one, meaning unless he was on the same road as Jing Yan, he couldn’t locate Jing Yan.

Searching for Jing Yan might waste too much time, making the effort fruitless. Moreover, even if he tried to find Jing Yan with all his might, he might still not discover Jing Yan before the Netherworld Map closed.

Although the Black River Heavenly Monarch was arrogant and violent, he could suppress his anger and focus on unraveling the Netherworld Map’s Law.

He’s just waiting for the Netherworld Map to close before striking Jing Yan.

“You little beast, I’ll let you live a few more years. Once the Netherworld Map closes, it will be your death day!” The Black River Heavenly Monarch’s ugly and cold face was full of malice.

Jing Yan had no time to ponder the Black River Heavenly Monarch’s situation. He was fully absorbed in accumulating power by absorbing the Black Crystal Stone’s Divine Power, striving to maximize his Divine Power before restoring to the Immortal Rhythm level.

Jing Yan absorbed some energy from the Netherworld Crystal Stone, which greatly enhanced his perception, insight, and controlled everything about himself to the Peak. While absorbing Divine Power, Jing Yan took out the materials for the Fourth Layer of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique and began to practice it.

Jing Yan progressed quickly.

Three months later, the Divine Power reached its peak.

“Absorb some energy from the Netherworld Heart.” To achieve a perfect state, Jing Yan chose to absorb the energy of the Netherworld Heart.

“Buzz!” When the energy from the Netherworld Heart poured into his body, Jing Yan’s eyes were filled with a yellow light halo.

He entered a profound, indescribable state.

Without deliberate control, naturally, Jing Yan placed his hand on a pile of Black Crystal Stone. The vast energy transformed into a rolling river flowing into Jing Yan’s body.

“Boom!”

“Boom boom!”

Jing Yan’s aura began to surge rapidly. In just a cup of tea’s time, a heart-pounding pressure was released from Jing Yan’s body.

Immortal Rhythm!

Immortal Rhythm Netherworld Realm, Jing Yan!

Almost without encountering obstacles, Jing Yan smoothly restored to the Immortal Rhythm Level—perfectly, indeed. Jing Yan did not feel any flaws in his realm’s restoration. Without the Netherworld Heart or Netherworld Crystal Stones, this restoration could have hidden risks impacting his future breakthroughs to higher levels. But now, everything seemed perfect.

Along with the realm’s restoration, Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body also greatly enhanced in quantity. Jing Yan’s Divine Soul Body’s quality was flawless, but its quantity, due to the previous low realm, was far less than before the Nirvana in the Chaos World. Now, restoring to the Immortal Rhythm Realm, the quantity of his Divine Soul Body matches that before Nirvana.

The benefits of the Divine Soul Body’s quantitative improvement are obvious.

Jing Yan clapped his hands, closed his eyes again, and continued to practice the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique. He planned to use the remaining effect of the Netherworld Heart to fully master the Fourth Layer of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique.

With the assistance of the Netherworld Heart and Netherworld Crystal Stones, Jing Yan’s practice of the Fourth Layer of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique was so fast it was despair-inducing.

In just over ten days, Jing Yan completed the Fourth Layer of the Great Demon Seal Suppression Technique. The materials for the Fourth Layer were, of course, exhausted.

“Hoo!” Jing Yan exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His gaze swept over the Netherworld Heart. The energy contained in this Netherworld Heart was about seventy percent remaining, as Jing Yan could judge from its surface’s yellowish light halo.

“The effect of the Netherworld Heart is indeed… astonishing!” Jing Yan exclaimed.

“Chaos Sword!” Jing Yan waved his hand, and a hazy Sword Light suddenly condensed in front of him.

“Ancient Tree Inheritance!” The Ancient Tree Inheritance Technique activated, with purple patterns covering his entire body, power enhancing, and an aura vast.

“Seven Luminaries Technique!”

Seven blazing, dazzling suns formed into a circle, spinning around.
