In the void, flower rain permeated everywhere.
Various auspicious mythical beasts appeared as shadows, as if a female immortal was about to descend to the mortal world.
A woman wearing a snow-white glazed long dress revealed her true form from the void, noble and magnificent, beyond compare.
The dress was cut open along her thighs, revealing exceptionally long and straight jade legs.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her features like a perfect creation carved by heaven, her starry eyes tinged with cold indifference.
Her skin was as delicate as white jade, her graceful body flowing with immortal light.
Various phenomena, star orbits, and patterns of the great Dao surrounded her body.
She gave people the feeling of a goddess of creation.
It was none other than Imperial Princess Ling Yuan!
Seeing Ling Yuan descend like a goddess, Tian Mingzi's heart trembled violently.
Of course, it wasn't because of Ling Yuan's beauty that his heart trembled.
He never expected that this lofty imperial princess of the Immortal Court would target him.
And with Ling Yuan's strength, if she wanted to hide, he indeed would find it difficult to detect her.
"Kill!"
Tian Mingzi didn't even want to say another word.
The skeletal bone dragon roared and attacked Ling Yuan.
Ling Yuan slightly raised her phoenix eyebrows, cold light flashing in her eyes like night stars.
"Nuwa Immortal Palm!"
Ling Yuan started with her ultimate move.
She raised her delicate jade hand, vast magical power surging, having also reached the Great Saint level.
This was thanks to Tian Nü Yuan, who had previously obtained the Nuwa Heavenly Heart Scripture from the Taiping Temple of the Snake People for Ling Yuan.
Otherwise, for Ling Yuan to break through to the Great Saint realm would have required considerable effort.
Ling Yuan's palm pressed down, a ten-thousand-zhang giant palm descended like the heavens collapsing, crushing the void.
At the same time, Dao patterns interwove, locking down all four directions and sealing off all escape routes.
Boom!
The violent collision erupted, and a surging storm of magical power swept outward.
The skeletal bone dragon was actually shattered by Ling Yuan's palm, white bones shattering and scattering.
At the same time, Tian Mingzi spat blood and retreated.
"Demon Slaughter Formation!"
A terrifying killing formation took shape, countless yin soldiers and demons appearing.
Ling Yuan's face remained calm, like a light of brightness in hell, her body releasing endless radiance.
She formed a special hand seal, and in the void, endless light rain appeared, then fell like a raging storm!
Immortal Rain Salvation!
The void howled, the continent shattered.
The power of each drop of light rain was as terrifying as a meteorite, directly and violently destroying the formation.
Although Tian Mingzi was a top genius of the Netherworld King's lineage, in Ling Yuan's hands, he had no power to resist at all.
"Now, this princess can give you a chance. Open your sea of consciousness and let me plant a slave imprint, and you may still live," Ling Yuan said as she parted her lips.
Planting a slave imprint on a genius of the Netherworld King's lineage was something others wouldn't dare to even think about.
Even with the ability, they would fear the revenge of the Netherworld King's lineage.
But Ling Yuan was different. Her status and position were such that she didn't fear any retaliation at all.
"We can cooperate," Tian Mingzi said through gritted teeth.
In his heart, he actually had other calculations.
But for now, he could only try to appease Ling Yuan with this.
"Cooperate? Are you worthy? Tell me, how many men in the world are qualified to stand as equals with this princess?" Ling Yuan said coldly, her starry eyes indifferent.
In the shadows, Jun Xiaoyao silently watched and listened.
He finally understood why Ancient Emperor's Son had pursued Ling Yuan so desperately without success.
This woman was too proud.
Even a bit excessive.
"Is this what true feminism looks like in a fantasy world?" Jun Xiaoyao mused to himself.
"Ling Yuan, don't go too far," Tian Mingzi's face looked very unpleasant.
It was the first time he felt so powerless.
"It seems there's nothing to discuss. This princess never wastes words," Ling Yuan struck out with another palm.
Thousands of Dao patterns spread out, the void exploded, magical power surged, directly blasting Tian Mingzi's entire body apart.
After dealing with Tian Mingzi, Ling Yuan slightly furrowed her phoenix eyebrows.
"What exactly is behind this stone gate? Should I explore directly, or prepare more before returning?" Ling Yuan murmured to herself.
She actually felt it didn't matter either way.
With her strength, nothing was a problem.
"About time."
In the shadows, Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.
He had waited long enough, and if he didn't intervene now, he might truly become just a spectator.
Jun Xiaoyao vaguely felt that behind this stone gate, there must be a great opportunity.
And there was still no sign-in prompt in his mind.
This proved that he had not yet truly entered the deepest part of the Black Abyss.
Perhaps behind that stone gate lay the secret of the Black Abyss.
Having made his decision, Jun Xiaoyao didn't hesitate any longer and stepped forward.
"Hmm, who's there?"
Ling Yuan sensed him instantly, turning her gaze with sharp eyes.
When she saw Jun Xiaoyao, with his white clothes, handsome appearance, and aloof temperament, her eyes changed almost imperceptibly.
There was surprise, and also astonishment.
She was surprised that Jun Xiaoyao had also come to this place.
She was astonished that even she hadn't sensed Jun Xiaoyao's presence.
"Should I say nice to meet you, or should I say, we meet again?" Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
This clearly referred to the matter of Ling Yuan and Tian Nü Yuan being two souls in one body.
"Jun Xiaoyao, I didn't expect to see you so soon. This princess thought we would only meet at the end of the ancient road," Ling Yuan's voice was equally calm.
She admitted that Jun Xiaoyao was a bit beyond her expectations.
It was the first time she had seen a man whose appearance, temperament, and strength were not at all inferior to hers.
In fact, he even exceeded her somewhat.
This gave Ling Yuan, who had long held a high position, a strange feeling.
Of course, it was just that.
Unlike other women who developed feelings for Jun Xiaoyao at first sight.
In Ling Yuan's heart, she had long regarded Jun Xiaoyao as an opponent and enemy.
After all, one was the imperial princess of the Immortal Court, and the other was the heir of the Jun family.
They were destined to fight for their respective forces, as mortal enemies.
Jun Xiaoyao was also somewhat surprised.
It was the first time he had seen a woman who could remain so calm when facing him, and respond with the same indifferent tone.
It felt like meeting a worthy opponent.
This feeling made Jun Xiaoyao feel refreshed.
"What, Jun Xiaoyao, are you here to seek justice for Tian Nü Yuan?" Ling Yuan asked.
"Subduing you would restore her freedom," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Oh, it seems the legendary Jun family divine son, who has passed through countless flowers without a petal sticking to him, can actually have a day of true feelings," Ling Yuan's eyes flickered.
If Jun Xiaoyao had feelings for Tian Nü Yuan.
Wouldn't that also mean he had feelings for her?
"What if I say I'm simply kind-hearted and like to help others?" Jun Xiaoyao said calmly.
This Ling Yuan was testing him.
But he, of course, would not let Ling Yuan see through him.
"Do you know that this princess can control Tian Nü Yuan's life and death at will?" Ling Yuan slowly raised her jade hand, her fingers like slender green onion roots, delicate and long.
"Is that so? However, for now, let's focus on what we should be focusing on," Jun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with a hint of something unusual as he changed the subject.
Tian Nü Yuan had not told him that Ling Yuan could control her life and death.
Was she afraid of making him worry?
Ling Yuan's gaze also turned toward the stone gate.
She was also unwilling to fight to the death with Jun Xiaoyao right now, as it would be meaningless.
Just as the two of them fell into temporary silence, examining and observing the stone gate.
A voice filled with hoarseness and vengeful intent suddenly sounded.
"I didn't expect that besides Ling Yuan, you, Jun Xiaoyao, would also follow. Perfect, let this dog couple go to hell together."
Jun Xiaoyao and Ling Yuan both turned their gaze at the same time.
The one speaking was actually Tian Mingzi, who had already died.
"The Netherworld King lineage's Reverse Death Rebirth Technique?" Ling Yuan immediately reacted.
"Die!"
Tian Mingzi took out something like a key and infused it with magical power.
The stone gate began to rumble and shake, then suddenly opened.
Rich reincarnation power was spreading.
A terrifying attractive force erupted, instantly entangling both Ling Yuan and Jun Xiaoyao.
Behind the stone gate was a colorful illusion and void, as if countless worlds were floating and entangling within.
"This is the Eye of Reincarnation within the Netherworld, used by the ancient Netherworld to test those heaven-defying geniuses with the qualifications to become Netherworld Kings. I wonder if you have that ability?" Tian Mingzi grinned with a cold smile.
Ling Yuan had caused him to die once, making him lose the only chance to use the Reverse Death Rebirth Technique.
And the Jun family also had conflicts and grievances with the Netherworld King's lineage, destined to clash in the future.
Now, to be able to eliminate two powerful opponents at once, Tian Mingzi couldn't be more delighted.
The Imperial Princess of the Immortal Court and the Divine Son of the Jun family, both dying because of him.
This feat was unparalleled.
