The scene before him made Zhang Kui’s heart sink slightly.

On the ground was a vast army stretching endlessly, though merely mortals, most were at the Enlightenment and Grain Avoidance Realm, yet each was vigorous as a dragon or tiger. Their standard armor was adorned with Disaster Beast bones, exuding fierce and aggressive aura...

In the sky were countless starship-like black mirrors, some as small as pavilions, others as large as mountains and rivers. Numerous immortal-level experts roamed freely, emanating magnificent aura. Disaster Beasts, controlled by arrays, rose and fell like mountain ranges, restless, with red mist and yellow smoke spewing from their nostrils...

Above the rolling thunderclouds, there were even two boundless black continents in sight, surrounded by divine light, with bases chained with Disaster Beasts, either fire-spitting bone armor giant birds or giant insects stirring black smoke, with ferocity not inferior to Star Beasts.

Star Realm?!

Zhang Kui was a bit dazed.

It’s no wonder it was the power capable of causing the fall of the Infinite Immortal Dynasty during ancient times; even in decline and internal strife, their conflicts resemble the Divine Demon Battlefield.

What startled him more were the two illusory figures sitting cross-legged atop the Star Realms, towering into the sky. One was a blue-faced fanged Daoist, with nine giant light clusters slowly rotating behind him, filled with flames, earthquakes, plagues, and other Disaster Qi, facing the Disaster Beasts who occasionally gazed at him with fear in their eyes, likely the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch.

The other was a three-headed, six-armed Buddha, face fierce and somber, surrounded by black Slaughter Towers hovering up and down, black Evil Qi and green Ghost Fire pervading, with countless Divine Fiends flickering within the Slaughter Towers, precisely the Celestial Ghost Buddha mentioned by the Spider Spirit brothers.

Experts, true experts!

These two might be ancient old monsters surviving to this day, akin to the nameless bone armor giant beast in the Star Beast Divine Nest, their Domain Power vast and boundless, altering the surrounding space, utterly unmatchable by force.

They... might be nearing the Starry Sky Dominator level of existence.

The self-activated Cute Head Skill kept sounding death warnings, pinpricking Zhang Kui’s whole body as he cautiously concealed his aura.

At the same time, the massive influx of a corpse tide attracted attention from those with intentions, with both sides sending troops immediately.

On the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch’s side, two giant armored insects, accompanied by rolling yellow smoke, came closer and closer, with the ground shaking and killing intent soaring. From afar, someone drew a Divine Bow, and the whirlpool-like evil-filled white light constantly gathered.

"Not good, we were careless!"

"We’ve come to the wrong place!"

The two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect felt their scalps tingle, hurriedly forming spells and blowing bone whistles, causing the bronze pillars in the heads of giant zombies to buzz, and their tusked mouths sprayed black Evil Qi as they blocked the front.

Zhang Kui calmed the agitated Fatty Tiger, his expression indifferent, not the least concerned, nor intending to take action.

First, those people simply couldn’t harm him; after going invisible and entering underground, he could easily leave. Secondly, people from the Celestial Ghost Buddha’s side had already taken action.

Just then, a black flood dragon covered in bone armor meandered through the rolling black Evil Qi akin to instant teleportation, blocking them in the front, the evil aura overwhelming, as it opened its mouth and exhaled a piercingly cold tide, instantly turning everything along its path into a Cold Ice Hell, even the arrows shot turned solid and frozen.

The black flood dragon’s eyes showed a fierce glow, "General Li, why the rush? The Ancient Netherworld hasn’t appeared yet; are you perhaps thinking of starting a battle now?"

"Hmph!"

The immortal who came to intercept on the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch’s side didn’t speak, eyes full of murderous intent beneath the armor. After a cold snort, he turned and returned to his camp.

"Arrogant fools..."

The black flood dragon sneered, then turned with a kindly smile, "Two Taoist friends, was the journey alright?"

"Thank you, True Monarch Chang, for coming to our rescue!"

The two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect hurriedly offered thanks with cupped hands, "Lord Celestial Ghost Buddha said to use a batch of zombies to scout, so we gathered the corpse tide along the way, arriving late."

"No worries, you two are indeed skilled in this aspect."

The black flood dragon looked at the surrounding corpse tide seemingly satisfied, then turned his Divine Thought to Zhang Kui, a flash of surprise in his eyes, "Void Domain... Who might this Taoist friend be?"

The Spider Spirit senior of the Spirit Corpse Sect smiled slightly, "True Monarch Chang, let me introduce you. This is True Monarch of the Void Zhang Hu, an old family friend of our sect, here to help us this time."

Simultaneously, he secretly transmitted to Zhang Kui, "Taoist friend, this is True Monarch Chang, one of the ten True Monarchs under Celestial Ghost Buddha, with significant status, do not be neglectful."

"Greetings, True Monarch Chang."

Zhang Kui immediately offered a hearty, honest salute.

This black flood dragon had a terrifying Qi Mechanism. Though in a real fight, he might not be his equal, his Tao Cultivation was far deeper than his own.

By now, he had a rough estimation of his own strength, slightly superior to these True Monarchs, but far behind the leaders of both sides, the Nine Calamities Divine Monarch, and the Celestial Ghost Buddha. Plus, with more people on the other side, once exposed, he could only flee.

Fortunately, he cleverly suppressed his Qi Mechanism, stronger than the two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect, yet noticeably weaker than this True Monarch Chang, enough to gain attention without standing out.

Sure enough, the black flood dragon’s suspicion faded, with a stern but smiling look, "Thank you, Taoist Friend Zhang, for your assistance. Rest assured, once the lord secures the position of Realm Master, there will be generous rewards."

"Thank you, True Monarch Chang."

The two demons of the Spirit Corpse Sect rejoiced immediately, and Zhang Kui also put on a look of excitement.

Along the way, he had gleaned considerable information from the two Spider Spirits, regarding the Netherworld Realm situation, and this incident.

In simple terms, during ancient times, like the Emperor Venerable, the three Realm Masters of the Eternal Immortal Dynasty mysteriously vanished. Shortly after taking over, the new Realm Master perished in the Main Cosmos after the Immortal Dynasty War, leading to a long period of turmoil in the Netherworld Realm, with scarce interactions with the other two realms.
