Chapter 1178 Must Defeat You
The black crack was like a maw ready to devour its prey... A thick, insoluble black mist swirled within... A chill even colder than the poisonous miasma of the netherworld flowed through the crack... The moment it touched Liu Yang's skin... he couldn't help but shudder...
He gripped the ice and fire blades tightly in his hands... and channeled the emerald green spiritual energy of the Miasma-Clearing Pearl to shield his body. This spiritual energy not only dispelled poison... but also formed a weak barrier on his body... providing some protection against the chilling aura within the black fog...
The moment I stepped into the crack... the surrounding scenery suddenly changed...
The soft sea of clouds beneath my feet was no longer... but a rocky ground covered in charred cracks... and in each crack flowed dark purple netherworld magma...
The black smoke rising from the surface of the magma carried a soul-searing pain... Every breath sent a stabbing pain through Liu Yang's sea of consciousness... In the distance... a broken black city wall towered above the magma... Rusty iron chains hung on the wall... At the end of the chains were locked with long-dried bones... A faint blue will-o'-the-wisp flickered in the skeleton's eye sockets... Beneath the tattered robes fluttering in the wind... Faint black scratch marks could be seen on the bones...
"This is the Netherworld Purgatory..." Liu Yang looked around... He could hear the howling of ghosts and wolves... The sounds were filled with resentment and resentment... It was as if countless wronged souls were howling in this land...
He could clearly sense... the netherworld power permeating the air was far more formidable than the miasma of the poisonous miasma layer—this power would not only erode spiritual energy... but also interfere with the cultivator's sea of consciousness... If he wasn't careful, he would be consumed by the resentment... and become a mindless walking corpse...
At this moment... the black city wall in front collapsed... countless blue figures rushed out from the ruins... these figures had different shapes... some had human bodies and ghost faces... holding rusty long swords;
Some were completely transparent...only a pair of scarlet eyes were exposed...and they moved as silently as ghosts. Others were enormous...skin like black stone from cooled magma...and they held enormous stone hammers in their hands...
Every step caused the ground to tremble violently... They were the evil ghosts from the underworld that Su Qingyao had mentioned... There were hundreds of them... They densely packed together and surrounded Liu Yang...
"Kill!" The demon with a human body and a ghost face in the front launched the first attack... The long sword slashed towards Liu Yang's neck with a sound of breaking wind... The sword was imbued with a strong underworld power... The air rippled blackly as the blade passed... It clearly had the power to tear through the spiritual shield...
Liu Yang didn't dare to be careless... He infused the power of the Ice and Fire Spirit Crystal into his twin blades... Crimson flames and snow-white cold air instantly enveloped the blades... He dodged the long sword sideways... and simultaneously swung his left blade towards the evil ghost's waist and abdomen...
With a swish... the flaming blade easily sliced through the demon's body... Dark blue blood splattered onto the ground... making a sizzling sound... and was instantly swallowed by the black smoke rising from the lava cracks... The demon let out a shrill scream... and its body dissipated into a wisp of black smoke...
But more Netherworld demons followed... The transparent demon attacked Liu Yang from behind... Its sharp nails, carrying the power of the Netherworld, stabbed into his back; the black stone demon swung a stone hammer... and smashed it towards his head... The Netherworld power of the stone hammer caused the surrounding space to slightly distort...
Liu Yang activated the power of the space bead... Transparent spatial force condensed beneath his feet... His body instantly teleported five meters to the left... Barely avoiding two attacks... The stone hammer smashed into the ground... The immense force caused a crack several meters long to crack the rocky ground...
Dark purple magma gushed out from the cracks... Sparks flew down onto the surrounding demons... but harmed them completely—these demons, born in Purgatory, were immune to the magma's intense heat...
"I must get rid of these evil spirits as soon as possible... otherwise my spiritual power will be exhausted sooner or later..." Liu Yang thought to himself... He noticed... all the evil spirits in the underworld were gathering in one direction... as if they were guarding something...
Following the direction of the demons' gathering... he saw a pitch-black palace standing behind the ruins of the black city wall... The top of the palace was entwined with a dense netherworld power... and he could vaguely see a massive figure hovering atop the palace...
"That must be the Purgatory Lord's location! As long as we defeat the Purgatory Lord... these Netherworld demons might disappear..." Liu Yang made a judgment... and then activated the demonic power of the Ten Thousand Demon Pearl...
Dark red demonic energy formed a demonic barrier around him...repelling several transparent evil spirits that rushed towards him...
He wielded the twin blades of ice and fire... and rushed towards the black palace... He encountered many ghosts along the way who tried to stop him... but they were all killed by his swift movements and the sharpness of his blades...
But just as he was about to reach the palace gate... a black beam of light suddenly shot down from the top of the palace... and landed in front of him... After the beam of light dissipated... three huge evil spirits appeared in front of Liu Yang - they were more powerful than ordinary Netherworld evil spirits...
His body was covered in black scales... The weapon in his hand exuded an even stronger netherworld power than before... He was none other than the elite demon of the Netherworld Purgatory: the Scaled-Armored Demon General...
The scaly-armored ghost on the left took the lead in attacking... brandishing its giant axe... and sweeping towards Liu Yang...
The dark power of the giant axe formed a black axe wind... Wherever it passed... the rocks on the ground were instantly cut into pieces...
Liu Yang activated the power of the Burning Heaven Fire Seed... The crimson flames condensed into a flame barrier in front of him... With a "bang"... The axe wind collided with the flame barrier... The flame barrier trembled violently... but it never broke...
Just as Liu Yang was fending off the attack from the left, the scaly-armored ghost general on his right suddenly hurled his spear. With a whistling sound, the spear pierced his chest. The netherworld power emanating from the spear sent piercing pain through Liu Yang's sea of consciousness, as if countless tiny needles were piercing his soul.
He channeled the dream energy of the Dream Core... pale blue energy swirled in his eyes... instantly locking onto the spear's trajectory... he dodged the spear... simultaneously swinging his right blade... the snow-white, icy blade slashed against the spear's shaft...
With a "crack" sound... the spear was cut in half... the broken spear fell to the ground... and dissipated in a wisp of black smoke...
The scale-armored ghost general in the middle saw both attacks neutralized... he roared... his body suddenly expanded three times its size... his skin changed from black scales to dark purple... and the giant hammer in his hand was wrapped in dark purple netherworld magma...
It slammed its giant hammer into the ground... Dark purple magma gushed out from beneath the ground... Forming a magma wall... Stretching towards Liu Yang... The netherworld power on the magma wall was extremely strong... Liu Yang could feel... His spiritual power shield, under the aura of the magma wall... becoming thinner at a visible speed...
"I can't take it head-on!" Liu Yang quickly activated the power of the space bead... teleported again... avoiding the attack of the magma wall...
But the lava wall spread extremely quickly... Instantly covering an area ten feet around him... Trapping him in the circular cage formed by the lava wall...
The scaly-armored ghost general on the left took the opportunity to swing his giant axe... and slashed towards his left side; the scaly-armored ghost general on the right drew the short knife from his waist... and attacked from the other side...
Liu Yang took a deep breath... and injected the Nether Pearl's dark power into the Ice and Fire Twin Blades... The black Nether Power intertwined with the flames and cold air... forming a blade interwoven with black, red, and blue...
He first swung his double blades... blocking the giant axe on the left... while simultaneously channeling his demonic energy... the dark red demonic energy condensed into a demonic blade... and shot towards the scaled-armored ghost general on the right...
With a clang... the double blades collided with the giant axe... the immense force numbed Liu Yang's arm slightly; and the demonic blade precisely struck the right scale-armored ghost commander's neck... dark blue ghost blood gushed out... the scale-armored ghost commander let out a scream... and his body dissipated in black smoke...
After dealing with the Scaled-Armored Ghost General on the right... Liu Yang's pressure was greatly reduced... He focused his attention on dealing with the remaining two Scaled-Armored Ghost Generals... using the Space Orb's teleportation ability to constantly dodge their attacks... while also looking for opportunities to counterattack...
The scaly-armored ghost in the center spewed magma again... but Liu Yang stopped dodging... and instead channeled the emerald green spiritual energy of the Miasma-Clearing Pearl... merging it with the flames of the Burning Heaven Fire Seed... forming a emerald green flame barrier... The magma landed on the barrier... and was instantly purified by the emerald green flames... dissipating into a wisp of black smoke...
"How is this possible?!" The scale-armored ghost in the middle roared in disbelief... Liu Yang seized the opportunity... teleported behind it... and slashed at its back with his three-colored double blades...
With a "swish" sound... the double blades easily cut through the scaled ghost general's armor... the black netherworld power flowed into its body through the wound...
The scaly-armored ghost general let out a shrill scream... and his body turned into black smoke and dissipated...
The remaining scaled-armored ghost general on the left saw his companions being killed one after another... a trace of fear flashed in his eyes... He turned around and wanted to escape... How could Liu Yang give him a chance?
He harnessed the power of the Space Orb... and instantly teleported in front of it... Simultaneously, he channeled all six powers—the power of space, the power of the netherworld, the power of ice and fire, the energy of dreams, demonic power, and the power of the Burning Heaven Fire—into the twin blades... forming a six-colored interwoven blade... He slashed at the scaly-armored ghost general's head... With a "crack"... the ghost general's head was severed... and his body dissipated in black smoke...
With the death of the three scale-armored ghost generals... the surrounding ordinary Netherworld demons ceased their attacks... their bodies dissipated into black smoke... The massive figure atop the black palace finally moved... it spread a pair of massive black wings... covered in dark purple scales... each scale gleaming with the light of Netherworld magma...
It slowly descended... landing in front of Liu Yang... Its massive body stood a full five feet tall... its head shaped like a bat... its crimson pupils fixed their gaze fixedly on Liu Yang... its mouth continuously dripping with dark purple lava saliva... it was none other than the guardian of the Netherworld Purgatory Layer—the Immortal-level Purgatory Lord...
"How dare you, a tiny human... kill my Scaled Ghost General... Do you know your crime?" The Purgatory Lord's voice boomed like thunder... The netherworld power in the air surged violently... Liu Yang's sea of consciousness was violently impacted... He couldn't help but take two steps back... A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth...
"To clear the Netherworld Purgatory... I must defeat you..."
Liu Yang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth... He looked at the Lord of Purgatory with a firm gaze... "Stop talking nonsense... Let's do it!"
The Purgatory Lord roared... and with a ferocious flap of his massive wings... Countless dark purple lava arrows shot forth from his wings... and shot towards Liu Yang... Each arrow contained a rich celestial-level netherworld power... enough to easily rip through the spiritual shield of a semi-celestial cultivator...
