Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 775 - 429: The Daoist Monarch Appears! Crossing the Netherworld, Into the Inner Circle of the Ruins!

"Yes, as long as Daoist Monarch Soul Devourer protects us across the Netherworld, no matter how much creation my Heavenly Corpse gains inside, I will owe you a favor in the future!"

Heavenly Corpse True Monarch was the second to speak up; among everyone, he was actually the easiest to cross the Netherworld. He could completely use a Yin Corpse to shield himself, carrying himself across the Netherworld.

However, doing so might render the Yin Corpse he sacrifices obsolete after crossing the Netherworld, making its combat power within the Inner Circle far inferior to other True Monarchs.

It would be better to follow Daoist Monarch Soul Devourer, and once inside the Inner Circle, use Divine Skills to seek out various Great Tombs. As long as he finds some Yin Corpses in these tombs to start refining, even if he hasn't entered the Vientiane Realm, he could still roam the Nirvana Realm with the formidable Yin Corpses!

After all, Yin Corpses are incorrupt for millennia and can likely be preserved within the relics of ancient tombs.

After the two True Monarchs spoke, the other four old monsters of the Demon Sect also voiced their agreement.

Each of them had their own plans. Having lived two lives, especially in their previous life when they cultivated to the peak of the Nirvana Realm, just a step away from the Vientiane Realm, how could they not see through Elder Soul Devourer's scheme?

It's nothing more than mutual utilization.

"Very well."

Everything was within Elder Soul Devourer's plans. Naturally, he also knew that the True Monarchs before him each had their own plans, but so what?

As long as he reached the Vientiane Realm, all schemes would be useless!

He had enough strength to suppress them!

The oaths formed stated only that he couldn't strike first or kill these True Monarchs himself.

But not striking first could still mean acting passively.

Not killing them personally could also mean inciting or threatening others to kill.

Of course, these intentions could only be revealed after entering the ancient tomb. For now, he'd expend some spiritual power to guard them across the Netherworld.

The Soul Devouring Dao spread around him as the Great Dao Laws formed shield after shield, escorting six Nirvana Realm old monsters into the Netherworld.

The Netherworld Water cleanses the soul. Without a strong spiritual power to guide them, it's highly possible to become lost within it and become a dead soul inside.

"Get out!"

Before advancing much further, a fish formed from a dead soul swam up. These dead souls might have been some Demon Sect disciples or Outer Elders from earlier relics, each possessing the strength of the Nirvana Realm.

In the Netherworld, their memories were completely wiped clean, and their strength greatly diminished, yet they still maintained a portion of the Nirvana Realm's power.

A single dead soul certainly wouldn't harm a True Monarch of the Demon Sect.

But what if there were ten, or even hundreds or thousands?

Not to mention, while resisting the attacks of these dead souls, one must also keep their soul clear, unmoved by the Netherworld Water.

The entire Netherworld is essentially an unusual treasure land, with layers of crises that are even more terrifying than Soul-shaking Mountain.

"Protect your mind and spirit!"

"I will gradually loosen the defense; everyone should at least kill three dead souls. If you fail to guard your mind and sink into the Netherworld, don't blame me for not giving a warning!"

Daoist Monarch Soul Devourer's voice was cold. After all, he only comprehended the Soul Devouring Dao, not the Soul Great Dao. If it were the Soul Great Dao, even his physical body entering the Netherworld could remain forever clear, even cultivating within it.

But the Soul Devouring Dao isn't; it is just a combination of a part of the Devouring Dao and the Soul Great Dao, with significant limitations, achieving the ultimate in soul devouring.

If the danger in the Netherworld was just dead souls, let alone the Nirvana Realm, even the Vientiane Realm, he could confidently devour and kill.

But unfortunately, it isn't. The Netherworld Water within is the greatest crisis.

Within the team, he bears the brunt of the Netherworld Water's impact more than the other True Monarchs, making it crucial to protect his mind and spirit!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The remaining few Nirvana Realm old monsters of the Demon Sect naturally knew that in the Netherworld, Elder Soul Devourer couldn't possibly protect them completely. Each of them possessed extraordinary skills, having lived another life, mastered various Divine Skills, and comprehended almost perfect Great Dao Embryos.

Their strength was just a step away from the Vientiane Realm.

Although this step held the distance of heaven and earth, within the Nirvana Realm, they were among the top tier, easily stepping onto the Nirvana Golden List.

They were naturally unafraid of these initial dead souls of the Netherworld.

If it weren't necessary to protect their spirit, the dead souls in the Netherworld wouldn't concern them at all.

Here, Elder Soul Devourer led several Nirvana Realm peak old monsters of the Demon Sect, crossing the Netherworld together.

On the other side, returning from the Eternal Tower, circumventing half of the Outer Circle, Jiang Shu also stepped into the Netherworld.

On his journey around the Outer Circle, Jiang Shu intervened twice to save geniuses from the Eight Great Sects, but they weren't disciples of the True Martial Sect. He only saved them in emergencies, providing a relatively safe haven for them to hide.

The Outer Circle of this Ancient Demon Sect Relics itself wasn't dangerous; the danger came from the old monsters and geniuses of the Demon Sect.

The old monsters lived another life, mastering more Divine Skills, and comprehending more complete Great Dao Embryos, far ahead in strength compared to sect disciples.

Meanwhile, although the other Demon Sect geniuses might not measure up in strength to the Eight Great Sects' disciples, upon entering the relics, their initially cultivated cultivation techniques and Divine Skills gained significant progress from the relic's treasuries.

Since the Ancient Demon Sect Relics were left especially for them, the compatibility of cultivation techniques and Divine Skills brought them more formidable advancement than the Eight Great Sects' disciples.

Thus, while at the start there were disciples of the Eight Great Sects slaying Demon Sect geniuses, now it was practically Demon Sect geniuses hunting down the Eight Great Sects' disciples.

After making a few moves and surveying the treasures in the Outer Circle, Jiang Shu completely lost interest in the relic's Outer Circle. Even unexploited treasures inside wouldn't greatly benefit him.

More so now, almost all treasures had been occupied, with specific crystal stones refined and collected by these old monsters and geniuses of the Demon Sect.

To advance further, he might as well try entering the Inner Circle. In case of real crisis, return to the Eternal Tower with the Two Realms Shuttle.

Having cleared the Fifth Floor of the Eternal Tower, with a time flow rate of thirty-two to one, he virtually had nearly three thousand years of cultivation time.

With the "Great Void Heart Scripture" and "Panwu Great Strength Dao Book," it was enough to cultivate to the Forget Realm or the Chaos Hole Realm, and when he returned, what crisis couldn't he suppress?

Of course, this was the last resort.

Achieving the Forget Realm or Chaos Hole Realm through prolonged solitary cultivation was not the realm he desired.

Just like fellow Nirvana Realms could have vast differences, so it would be for higher realms.

If unable to temporarily return to the Cang Mang Domain, his accumulation in the Vientiane Realm would be insufficient.

The many Great Dao Embryos he comprehended now only held significance compared to fellow Nirvana Realms, but not worth mention upon reaching the Vientiane Realm.

Not to mention, reaching the Vientiane Realm would elevate his status in the True Martial Sect beyond that of the Peak Masters of the thirty-six peaks. Merely entering the Ancestor Master Hall and the Sect's treasure vault could yield immense benefits unattainable from the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance.

"This Netherworld... turns out to be more intriguing than Soul-shaking Mountain..."

Muttering to himself, Jiang Shu's silhouette moved like a fish into the Netherworld.

Besides cleansing the soul, the Netherworld also has the power to scour the body, causing some True Monarchs with ordinary physiques in the Nirvana Realm to have their physiques battered with scars and holes by the Netherworld Water over time.

But these scouring forces were nothing to Jiang Shu, who had cultivated his body to perfection. He even began merging Blood Crystal within the Netherworld.

The Soul Crystal also came into play at this moment, with his soul resisting the cleansing of the Netherworld Water while occasionally utilizing some Soul Crystal.

The soul cleansing of the Netherworld Water even surpasses the Soul-shaking Demon Sound in Soul-shaking Mountain, and long-term cultivation within it greatly benefits the comprehension of the Soul Great Dao!
