Chapter 1458: Chapter 514: Return to the Netherworld, Wuque Lineage

"Taoist Friend may enter the Netherworld, but must not act recklessly within. May you soon escape the cage!"

Jing Qiu looked toward the Netherworld beyond the portal and said, "What is the current situation in the Netherworld?"

"I only guard the gate, I don’t deal with such matters," the Guardian God replied calmly.

Jing Qiu’s gaze sharpened, "Are you guarding this gate on behalf of the united sects or is it Friend Wuque’s intent?"

The Guardian God replied candidly, "It is Wuque’s intention. Regarding the situation of future generations, including Wuque, various ancestors had long foreseen various possibilities. Wuque once stated that if one day the Sea of Realms were to fall into complete chaos, I must guard the portal to the Netherworld, not allowing it to fall into absolute chaos as well."

"Did the ancestors foresee today’s situation?" Jing Qiu’s pupils slightly contracted.

The Guardian God shook his head, "Only the general direction, not the precise situation."

Jing Qiu slowly nodded.

It’s not surprising that the various sects realized the significance of the Netherworld.

The mere existence of the Bitter Sea and the Nether Sea makes them primary targets for defense.

Yet, the ancestors had foresight...

Jing Qiu glanced at a certain sword light within the Inner Universe.

No need to ask, it must be unclear.

"With your power, why not cooperate with the sects to besiege the Heavenly Court?" Jing Qiu inquired.

According to the description of the Moon-cutting Sword Light, this being is not just a concept of a Transcendent Divine Weapon but almost a complete Transcender!

The Guardian God spoke solemnly, "The power of the Heavenly Court is unfathomable. I once probed and ultimately retreated. The current actions of the various sects are merely to deduce the resurgence of the Heavenly Court, awaiting the ancestors’ return!"

"How long until the ancestors return?"

"It’s unclear, only known that all the ancestors are on their way. It could be as short as a hundred years, or as long as a thousand or ten thousand years. No one can say for sure."

Jing Qiu nodded, then glanced backward, exchanged a word with the being, and immediately stepped into the Netherworld.

At this moment, Mu Jiu Zhou finally escaped the suppression of this Uncle Master.

"Uncle Master, is this one currently being coerced by the Heavenly Court, rather than joining voluntarily?" Mu Jiu Zhou asked incredulously.

The Guardian God replied calmly, "You don’t need to concern yourself with this matter, just stay here with me in peace."

Mu Jiu Zhou suddenly spoke in a low voice, "Why did Uncle Master not inform this one of the happenings inside the Netherworld?"

The Guardian God replied calmly, "Do not interfere in the karma between this one and the Netherworld. Let this one handle the chaos within the Netherworld."

Mu Jiu Zhou sighed and said no more.

After an unknown period, another person arrived near the portal to the Netherworld, wandering from afar, fearing to approach.

The Guardian God glanced indifferently, if not for the World Venerable’s prior instructions, he would have easily eradicated such a traitor.

...

...

Void Realm.

Once one of the Great Dao Ancestral Lands, the Void Realm has become a battleground for the various sects and the Heavenly Court.

Massive divine light shot into the sky, a Dharma Form towering into the Heavenly Dome, filling the sky with its vastness, divine power as boundless as the sea; this is a Divine descending from the Heavenly Court!

Upon arrival, it joined the battlefield, thrown into encirclement and slaughter. No matter how it roared and unleashed True Saint power, it couldn’t change the outcome, targeted by several True Saints working together, ultimately grabbed by a giant hand and thrown into a Great Tripod for suppression!

But moments later, the top expert holding the Great Tripod snorted coldly and said, "Still unable to lock down its ’God’."

A divine light turned into a dazzling radiance, breaking through the sealing of the Great Tripod, soaring into the clouds, its whereabouts unknown.

Yet everyone knew that another Divine would soon descend.

This is the foundation that leaves individuals helpless against the Heavenly Court.

Nearly endless, fearlessly relentless Heavenly Court Gods withstand the originally crushing joint forces of the sects.

Though they hold the advantage in numbers, able to team up against the Heavenly Court Divines, every time they manage to slay an opponent, they suffer significant Dao losses.

Over the years, various sects have repeatedly tried different methods to break the "Undying Body" of the Heavenly Court, but they all failed.

Even using the means left by the Ancestor Masters proved useless.

"Ooo—"

A horn sounded, rolling like thunder, resounding throughout the Void Realm, sweeping across.

This is a horn from the Heavenly Court, rarely blown, except during total assaults by the Heavenly Court.

All felt their energy and blood resonate, merely the horn sound created oppression on them, its origins unknown.

They looked up to see endless divines falling like rain, some with cold glares, others with fear in their hearts. The repeated total assaults, as if the enemy could never be fully vanquished, made even the strongest of the sects hesitate about the meaning of this war.

But at this point, there’s no choice left.

With the horn sound spreading boundlessly across the sky, the intensity of war kept escalating.

...

...

Netherworld.

When Jing Qiu stepped into the Netherworld once more, he couldn’t help being shocked by what he saw, heard, and sensed.

The Netherworld now seemed as if struck by calamity, Dao rules in disarray, vast Star Domains obliterated, no Qi or life could be felt!

"Is this the Great Universe?!"

Jing Qiu’s expression trembled as he took a step, entering the Federation’s territory.

The Forbidden Land formed by the Four Guardian Stars still hovered high above the Federation lands, like a final barrier, guarding the peace of the Federation’s realm.

"Senior Qinglian’s whereabouts are unknown."

Jing Qiu’s spirit and will swept across the Federation in an instant.

"The Bitter Sea remains unbroken, yet I cannot reach Master Mu..."

"Where is Master He—"

Jing Qiu looked up, his gaze sharp, as if crossing an unmeasurable "height," forcefully breaking into the impenetrable Time and River of Destiny with Eighth Tier Dao Power!

In that moment, he traversed Heaven and Earth, time swirling beside him, fragments of time fluttering around, yet destiny couldn’t reflect his shadow, an utterly terrifying sight!

He forcefully entered the River of Destiny and Time, discovering signs of these two rivers merging and uniting!

Has the Tao Struggle ended?!

Where is Master He, and the Taiyou Divine Lord within the River of Destiny?!
