Chapter 1107 The Netherworld Cult
Time passed little by little.
Su Mingyi's aura grew increasingly powerful, and his cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm became more and more stable, even showing faint signs of a breakthrough.
The black light of the primordial chaos core gradually dimmed, replaced by a faint golden light. The violent aura on its surface gradually dissipated and became gentle.
The ancient formation, reinforced by the primordial energy injected by Su Mingyi and the spatial Dao rules of Yu Shuheng, became as solid as steel and gradually stabilized.
The runes on the stone pillars, like the bright stars in the night sky, shone with renewed brilliance, and the cracks in the chains, like parched earth receiving rain, were slowly healing.
With Su Xiaoya's purification of light, Yu Shuheng was finally able to put down his worries and no longer fear that his life force would be inexplicably sucked away.
With no worries about the future, Yu Shuheng naturally went all out to unleash the power of the spatial Dao rules, not only to help Su Mingyi, but also to avenge himself.
Since his transmigration, Yu Shuheng has never been in such a sorry state—he inexplicably lost half of his life force, and the worst part is that he was completely unaware of it!
Now that he had the chance for revenge, how could he miss it? The power of the rules of the Great Dao of Space surged like a raging tide, relentlessly and frantically suppressing the formation.
Three hours later, Su Mingyi slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing from them.
The 'Eternal Silence Crystal' in his hand had completely merged with the Chaos Core Origin, transforming into a golden crystal containing both vitality and annihilation, which floated in the center of the formation.
Runes flowed across the crystal's surface, emanating a gentle yet powerful aura, no longer possessing its previous corrosiveness.
"Success." Su Mingyi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and felt the stable cultivation within his body, as well as the connection established with the 'Chaotic Silent Core Origin'. A gratified smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, the aura of desolation around us had mostly dissipated, replaced by a gentle spiritual energy. The smell of decay in the air had also disappeared, replaced by a faint fragrance.
The formation stabilized completely, and the runes on the stone pillars shimmered with golden light, firmly sealing the 'Origin of Chaos' in the center. At the same time, it continuously absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, transforming it into energy to nourish the Origin of Chaos, forming a virtuous cycle.
Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to Su Mingyi's side.
"Big brother, are you alright?" Su Xiaoya asked with a worried expression.
Su Mingyi shook his head gently, a smile playing on his lips: "It's alright, not only is it alright, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. I've already refined the 'Chaotic Silent Core Origin,' and from now on, it will no longer be a scourge. Instead, it will provide me with a continuous source of energy, and my understanding of the 'Illusory Cloud Freedom Technique' has also reached a new level."
He paused briefly, then continued, "In addition, I also obtained some information from the remnant memories of the Ancestor of Annihilation, and learned some secrets about this North Sea region."
"What secret?" Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng asked in unison, their curiosity piqued.
Su Mingyi's eyes were deep and solemn as he slowly said, "The 'Primordial Chaos Core' was not formed naturally, but is the product of an earth-shattering battle in ancient times."
Long ago, an ancient demon god attempted to control the power of annihilation and overturn the laws of heaven. So he refined the annihilation energy between heaven and earth and condensed it into the Chaos Core.
Later, the ancient gods worked together and finally defeated this demon god, sealing the 'Chaos Core' here. At the same time, they set up many barriers such as the North Sea Secret Realm and the Nine-Headed Insect Sealing Space to prevent the 'Origin of the Core' from leaking out.
"So, the previous spatial teleportation and life-stealing were all caused by the loosening of the seal?" Yu Shuheng asked in confusion.
“That’s not entirely true.” Su Mingyi shook his head. “The loosening of the seal is one reason, but there is another mysterious force pulling the strings in the shadows.”
"The remnant memories of the Ancestor of Annihilation mention that a mysterious organization has been searching for the 'Origin of the Chaotic Core,' attempting to use its power to achieve ulterior motives."
"The previous spatial teleportation was most likely orchestrated by this organization. They were attempting to use the teleportation to find a flaw in the seal and seize the 'Origin of Chaos Core'."
"A mysterious organization?" Su Xiaoya frowned. "Who exactly are they?"
Su Mingyi's eyes darkened, and he slowly revealed the information he had gleaned from the remnant soul's memories: "This organization is called the 'Netherworld Cult.' It originated in the late ancient period and was a secret force formed by the remnants and followers of the ancient demon god after his defeat."
"The 'Netherworld Cult' takes 'reversing the heavenly order, reviving demons and gods, and annihilating the dead to create new life' as its doctrine. It regards the ancient gods as mortal enemies and has been lurking in the shadows of the cultivation world for thousands of years, silently accumulating power."
The organization of the "Netherworld Cult" is extremely strict, consisting of the "Netherworld Lord", the "Left and Right Netherworld Envoys", the "Four Extreme Netherworld Generals", the "Eight Directions Ghost Commanders", and countless followers.
The Lord of the Netherworld Sect is said to be the direct disciple of an ancient demon god. His cultivation is unfathomable, like a vast star, and he has long surpassed the Mahayana stage, touching the threshold of the Immortal Venerable realm.
The Left and Right Envoys are in charge of the sect's affairs and combat power, respectively. Their strength is above that of Golden Immortals, like two insurmountable peaks.
The Four Netherworld Generals are responsible for guarding the four directions of the Netherworld and control different forbidden powers, just like four giant pillars supporting the sky.
The Eight Ghost Generals are responsible for carrying out missions outside. Each of them has a cultivation level of at least the late stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, resembling eight dazzling stars.
"The cultivation methods practiced by the entire Youxu Sect all originated from the ancient demon god's 'Demon Codex of Annihilation,' which focuses on plundering life force and devouring Dao essence. It shares the same origin as the Ancestor of Annihilation's 'True Scripture of Annihilation,' but is even more bizarre and domineering, like a venomous snake in the dark night, insidious and cunning."
"Moreover, the 'Netherworld Cult' possesses an ancient secret technique called the 'Netherworld Teleportation Array,' which can forcibly tear through space in areas with weak spatial barriers to conduct cross-regional teleportation. This is why we were inexplicably teleported many times before, as if our fate was being controlled by an invisible hand."
"What's even more terrifying is that they are skilled at manipulating people's hearts. Many small and medium-sized forces in the cultivation world have been secretly infiltrated by them and turned into their pawns. There are even quite a few rogue cultivators who have been lured by them with benefits and turned into tools for plundering life force, as if they were puppets being manipulated by them."
"Shuheng, the loss of life force you experienced before was caused by the 'Nirvana Induction' secretly set up by the 'Netherworld Sect'. This secret technique can silently plunder the life force of others and convert it into the energy needed for cultivation within the sect. It was only because your cultivation level was not low that it was not completely drained at once."
Yu Shuheng was shocked: "I didn't expect there to be such a powerful force behind this. Are they searching for the origin of the Chaos Core to resurrect that ancient demon god?"
"exactly."
Su Mingyi nodded and continued to explain the relevant information about this ancient demon god to Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng, while also filling in the details of their ancient grudges.
It turns out that the ancient demon god was named "Silent Abyss Demon God".
