The surrounding ethereal emptiness had abruptly transformed into an endless, deathly silence, accompanied by waves of bone-chilling cold.

Even though his physical body had reached the level of Vacuum Shattering, he could still feel a slight chill.

’Interesting.’

Wang Xiao realized he seemed to have arrived in another world.

The dense yin qi was so thick it was almost tangible, blanketing everything!

Before him stood a city of immeasurable magnificence.

Even though he had caught a fleeting glimpse of this city through the Reincarnation Pool fragment, seeing it for real now still left him stunned by its sheer grandeur!

The city sprawled across a vast landscape, stretching east to west as if to the very ends of Heaven and Earth, and extending north to south for who knows how many millions of miles.

It rose from the ground as if it would burst the entire Void Heaven and Earth, one end connecting to the world of Matter!

Standing before the city, Wang Xiao was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

In front of the city was an extremely long and wide path that led straight to the city gate.

On this path, phantoms drifted aimlessly, constantly drawing closer to the gate.

These phantoms were all Yin Souls waiting for Reincarnation.

After the Underworld closed, they naturally lost their chance to reincarnate and could only wander outside Fengdu City.

Fortunately, the yin qi here was just barely sufficient to prevent their Yin Spirits from losing their minds and turning into Fierce Ghosts.

At that moment, Wang Xiao set foot in this place. His surging Gang Qi felt almost solid, causing the surrounding Yin Spirits to let out piercing shrieks and unconsciously clear a path for him.

"Who is that? He... he’s not a Yin Spirit, he’s in a physical body! He entered the Underworld with his physical body!"

"How is that possible? How can a physical body enter the Underworld? That’s something not even a Dao Realm expert could do!"

"What is he trying to do? Fengdu City has been sealed for nearly a sixty-year cycle! No one can get in!"

Some who had been Cultivators in life looked at Wang Xiao with expressions of sheer terror.

Ever since the Underworld closed, not a single Wandering Soul had been able to enter.

Even the Soul Collectors had vanished.

To say nothing of a living person with a physical body entering the Underworld.

When they saw Wang Xiao, amidst their shock, a flicker of hope arose within them.

If this person before them could break open Fengdu City, then they could take the opportunity to enter the Reincarnation Pool inside and be reborn.

Instead of just wasting away here.

Once the yin qi here eventually dissipated, they too would be scattered into dust and smoke!

Wang Xiao paid no mind to the Wandering Souls on either side; there were too many for him to manage anyway.

With his current abilities, he certainly had no way to help these Wandering Souls reincarnate.

However, he did intend to smash open Fengdu City and get inside.

Through the fragment of the Reincarnation Pool, he had already sensed that its main body was inside Fengdu City!

And this Fengdu City was clearly the manifestation of Zhao Yin’s Yin Spirit.

After cultivating to the level of One Thought Reaches Heaven, it wasn’t impossible for a Yin Spirit to split into thousands of thoughts and form a city!

However, a city this magnificent could probably only be manifested by a Tier Seven Life form.

TAP TAP TAP!

Wang Xiao landed on the path before the city and, with incredible speed, arrived at the base of Fengdu City’s walls. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This was the very core of the Underworld, the final destination for all past Wandering Souls!

The gates of Fengdu City were sealed tight. Faintly, he could hear a barely audible "WOO WOO" sound coming from within.

It was sometimes gentle, sometimes piercing, rising and falling like a dirge for souls!

’It seems Zhao Yin really was heavily injured. The Fengdu City formed by his Yin Spirit looks magnificent, but it’s actually fragile enough to shatter with a single blow.’

’Now that he’s lost his final chance to devour all living things, he’s no longer a major threat to me!’

Without further hesitation, Wang Xiao raised his fist and slammed it violently into the city gate!

RUMBLE!

Ring after ring of spatial ripples erupted violently from his fist!

The surrounding Void Space was torn open with numerous cracks.

One punch!

Two punches!

After the third punch.

BOOM—

Accompanied by a thunderous crash, the city gate shattered, breaking apart into brilliant motes of thought before vanishing without a trace!

A dense, ominous wind swept out from within the city, blanketing everything.

Seeing this, the surrounding Wandering Souls stared with wide eyes, letting out a deafening roar like a tsunami.

"Fengdu City is broken! We can go in and reincarnate!"

"Charge! Hurry inside! If we’re too late, the gate might close again!"

"I recognize him! He’s the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Wang Chongyang! Master Wang! Master Wang has come to save us!"

One by one, the Wandering Souls ignored the dense fluctuations of Gang Qi rolling off Wang Xiao and surged madly toward Fengdu City.

They could already feel the surrounding yin qi decaying at an extremely rapid rate each day.

If they didn’t enter Fengdu City to reincarnate this time, the fate awaiting them was to have their souls completely obliterated!

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Wandering Souls, who had waited in the Underworld for nearly a sixty-year cycle, surged violently toward Fengdu City like a torrential tide.

However, just as these Wandering Souls were about to step into Fengdu City...

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted from within Fengdu City.

Immediately after, a series of voices, like cracking thunder, suddenly rang out!

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

"Wandering Souls, halt! Violators will be killed!"

"Who dares attack the city gate and let the Wandering Souls in?!"

As the voices rang out...

RUMBLE!
