Xuantai Pingyu Heaven, also known as the Infinite Great Universe.

Although the Bright Divine Court now suppresses All Heavens and governs the ten directions of the universe, the Bright Divine Court has always had a serious concern—Jiuyou.

The structure of the Xuantai Universe is highly similar to the Primordial.

Countless worlds scatter like stars in Chaos, with the Great Thousand Universe guarding the Central World from all directions.

Primordial has the Heavenly Pillar Buzhou Mountain; the Central World has Heavenly Pillars situated in the five directions as well.

Primordial has the Four Seas; so does the Central World.

Primordial is divided into the Yin Yang Two Realms; the same holds for the Central World.

The Jiuyou World is simply the Underworld of the Central World.

Ever since the establishment of the Bright God Court, they have always sought to conquer the Jiuyou World, aiming to achieve the strategic goal of unifying the great universe.

Regrettably, even though the Bright God Court's dominance in the Yang Realm is unparalleled, the ruler of Jiuyou, the Nine Netherworld Expiation Heavenly Venerate, is no ordinary being.

He has not only secured complete control over Jiuyou but also, despite the immense pressure from the Bright Divine Court, gradually established the various Underworlds across the countless worlds under the jurisdiction of the Xuantai Universe.

Even though Jiuyou has been at a disadvantage in many battles, and the Underworlds are occasionally uprooted by the Divine Court, the Jiuyou World remains steadfast and unbreached.

As long as the Jiuyou World remains unconquered by the Bright Divine Court, Underworlds in the Xuantai Universe will keep sprouting like bamboo shoots after rain.

"How infuriating, how hateful!"

On the battlefield of the two realms, Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate is burning with rage.

"Daoist, what has angered you so?"

In the distant spacetime, a towering grand canopy is upheld, divine lights flitting and surrounded by multicolored auspicious clouds. The canopy's fringe is draped with tassels, each thread flickering like dancing flames, swaying gently with the breeze.

A war chariot cuts through the void, leaving behind a trail of dazzling light.

The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate arrives by chariot.

Flanked by thousands of attendants, the Flowing Fire Divine General stands with a sword on either side, True Masters of Alchemy preceding and following him, the Dan Fire Envoy clutching a gourd, the Fire Pond Child holding divine commands, Fire Mansion Divine Officials each bearing a document.

"I have received the Divine Emperor's decree to assist Daoist in the attack on Jiuyou." The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate arrives wearing a Flying Essence Jade Crown, dressed in a nine-colored aura robe, holding a fire bell, seated securely under the canopy.

"Daoist's timing is perfect!"

Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate spoke, "Jiuyou took advantage of our battle to have the Reincarnation Saint King sneakily rebuild the Underworlds in the Dongfang Great Thousand Universe. It's utterly despicable!"

The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate laughed, "Daoist need not be angry. Their actions are merely meant to buy time and disperse our strength."

"That may be true, but we cannot let them go unchecked!"

Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate said with a stern expression, "The doctrinal struggle between the Yin Yang Two Realms cannot afford the slightest slack. A small oversight could give Jiuyou an opening to strengthen, leading to constant tug-of-war later."

The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate responded, "Then let's apply pressure on their main battlefield and force them to return."

"Good idea!"

The two Heavenly Venerates redeployed the battlefield strategies, launching a new round of assaults on the Netherworld.

The Bright Divine Court laid a heaven-reaching and earth-covering net; countless envoys and Divine Generals surged towards the Jiuyou World like a tide.

"Jiuyou, I know you're controlling the battlefield; come out and let's talk."

On the battlefield of the two realms, the booming Dao voice of the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate resounded.

"Ptui! You traitor, you still have the face to seek Jiuyou elder brother?"

On the Jiuyou side, a vast shadow emerged in the sky, wielding a deep blue sword, lightly waving it up and down, splitting the clouds, and bringing an overwhelming killing intent.

This is one of the Four Heavenly Venerates of Jiuyou, the Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate.

Upon seeing the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate, He retorted with scorn, "You stupid fool, you dare to come to Jiuyou to seek death?"

"If you had any conscience left, you would roll back to the Divine Court and never let me see you again."

The Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate, berated by his old friend, didn't get angry but just smiled, "Guangdu, you still have that bad temper, huh!"

"Get lost!"

Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate didn't bother to waste words, "Seeing your smiling face makes me sick."

"Guangdu, the fate of Jiuyou is already sealed, you have no future!"

Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate said coldly, "Even divine beings must recognize the times. Why not defect to my God Court instead? Otherwise, the day Jiuyou falls will be the day of your doom, with no chance for revival!"

"You too get lost!"

Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate pointed at Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate and cursed, "Playing good cop, bad cop? Who are you pretending to be, your lordship?"

"[Chaos] Demon God's lackey, a willingly degenerate fool, incurably stupid, and disposable trash!"

"Talking about conquering Jiuyou—come on, try and conquer one for me to see!"

"Don't make me look down on you!"

Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate's voice was loud, and on the battlefield of the two realms, thousands of divine beings heard everything clearly.

He truly was imposing, his towering form like a supreme emperor, yet when looking down at an ant beneath his feet, he still stooped to argue.

"Zhu Ling, don't think that because you sold yourself to old Infinite that I would fear you!"

"If you dare, call Him down here, and take a walk through Jiuyou World, why don't you?"

Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate, who had been listening to Guangdu's tirade without changing his expression, had to react when the insult reached the being behind him.

"Guangdu, how dare you be so disrespectful?!"

Majestically, Zhu Ling Du Ming Heavenly Venerate's divine might enveloped the area, causing the color draining from the faces of the strong in the Underworld, thousands of Divine Generals pressured by the aura, sweat beading like large beans on their cheeks, and their straight spines slightly bending under the force.

But this intimidation could not move Guangdu Rescue Suffering Heavenly Venerate in the slightest.

He stood there, slowly lifting his head to gaze at the giant above, regarding his opponent as insignificant, and treating other gods as mere ants.

"Bring on the battle!"

~~~~

"Is the Heavenly Venerate just watching?"

In Jiuyou World, one of the Twenty-four Underworlds, the Yin Law Bureau.

Meng Wuyou, having reincarnated as the head of the Bureau, watched the man who had arrived here.

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate.

His stature was towering, his face stern, and the iron-blooded murderous aura between his brows was hard to conceal. Clad in black battle armor, he was a wellspring of restrained power, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.

However, he ultimately remained an observer and didn't take any action.

"They are not to be feared."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate's gaze was deep, his eyes seemingly locking with another existence beyond the sky.

"Old Wuliang?" Meng Wuyou followed his gaze but saw nothing.

Pfft~~

The solemn Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate couldn't help but laugh: "It is Old Wuliang!"

"A more sinister existence than that Bright Child."

"Is he strong?" Meng Wuyou asked.

"Very strong."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate nodded: "Da Luo Supreme, do you think that's strong?"

"Ah?" Meng Wuyou hadn't expected to learn so soon after arriving here about the Da Luo of the Xuantai Universe.

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate thought she was surprised by the other's prowess.

He laughed, "This old fellow is much harder to deal with than that guy from Bright."

"It's all his doing that my Jiuyou World has been suppressed by the Divine Court all along."

"What about the Fire Refining Dan Realm Heavenly Venerate?" Meng Wuyou heard the term "traitor."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate shook his head: "Each divine has their own aspirations."

"Once, Fire Refining was my longest companion, who helped me establish the Twenty-four Underworlds."

"Unfortunately, after Old Wuliang proved himself a Da Luo, he saw no hope and left."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate recalled the past without much emotional fluctuation.

"It's not his fault, over the years, due to my persistence, the number of companions around me has dwindled."

"And after Old Wuliang became a Da Luo, the fate of my Jiuyou seemed sealed."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate looked at Meng Wuyou and smiled, "Not to make you laugh, but if not for my origins forbidding me to bow to the Chaos Demon God."

"Perhaps I would have given up long ago and led the Twenty-four Underworlds of Jiuyou to submit to the Divine Court."

"Heavenly Venerate jests." Meng Wuyou didn't take it seriously.

This man felt just like another Xuanqing to her.

She didn't believe "Xuanqing" would ever bow to anyone.

"It's no joke."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate sighed deeply, "It's because I genuinely can't hold on any longer."

"If not for meeting Daoist, I would have begun to activate contingency plans and started moving my followers out of Infinite Universe."

"I can't win against a Da Luo Supreme here," Meng Wuyou honestly stated. If it were just her, she might have been a bystander, witnessing the downfall of Jiuyou World.

"But you are not alone, right?"

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate's gaze bore into Meng Wuyou with almost certainty in his tone.

"What did Heavenly Venerate see?" Meng Wuyou asked.

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate had an unusual background; he ruled Jiuyou, established Yin Department, and many of his thoughts coincidentally aligned with Xuanqing's plans.

Some things were too coincidental.

To the point Meng Wuyou suspected that he was just another account of Xuanqing.

But she later realized that was not the case.

For no other reason.

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate was just too serious.

"I have seen much, good and bad."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate's gaze pierced through the dense fog, viewing the distant future: "But I cannot be sure if this is not a false future unleashed by Old Wuliang."

"Before the beginning of the world, Da Luo Supreme, he possesses a supreme great power which I cannot foresee."

"Then let us calmly wait."

So spoke Meng Wuyou, her tone serene and composed.

"Or perhaps Heavenly Venerate might try my strategy, to challenge the Divine Court's faith, to delve into the Spirit of Faith?"

"I have already assigned the Reincarnation Saint King to push this forward."

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate nodded: "Let's hope for a good outcome."

Should it succeed, it might extend the life of Jiuyou World.

"Er... actually it might turn out badly."

Meng Wuyou hesitated, stating: "The Spirit of Faith competes with the Divine Court for faith, it shakes the foundations of the Divine Court, if discovered, I reckon the Divine Court will come all out to attack Jiuyou."

"When that happens, Heavenly Venerate might face increased pressure, and if Old Wuliang notices external forces intervening, he might act with full force."

"If the contingencies of Jiuyou World can't hold, and my people can't support in time, I'm afraid Jiuyou might..."

As Wuyou spoke, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

Nine Nether Expiation Heavenly Venerate gazed at her darkly.

"Cough cough~~"

Meng Wuyou averted her gaze, lightly coughing: "This is a reasonable prediction, a reasonable prediction!"

"It might not happen."

"What if their internals explode first?"

The other two fellows are currently unaccounted for, who knows what they are plotting?
