"Zhou Yuan was vague before, I'm afraid he was hiding something from us! But now, there's no need to ask him, we can find out by ourselves!"
The old goat sneered. Although he found the God Burial Flower and the Immortal Emperor Grass, he still felt very unhappy about Zhou Yuan's concealment.
"Okay! Let's go to the Extreme Yin Abyss to investigate first. Maybe the Extreme Yin Abyss and the Extreme Yang Abyss are actually connected!"
There was a gleam of brilliance in Ling Xiao's eyes.
Yin gives birth to yang, and anode gives birth to yin. This is where yin and yang converge. Although there are two abysses, the forces of yin and yang are essentially the same and are part of the great way of yin and yang.
"good!"
The old goat nodded, and flew towards the abyss of extreme darkness with Ling Xiao.
Boom!
All around, the most yin evil spirits surged, containing the murderous energy that could freeze everything. It was a power that could freeze the soul.
At the same time, the extremely evil spirit was as sharp as a blade, as if it could cut a person into pieces.
Chaotic light rose around Ling Xiao, emitting an immortal and mysterious glow. Facing the Zhiyin Demon, he did not have the slightest protection and directly resisted with his physical body. The Zhiyin Demon could not cause any harm to him at all.
Naturally, the old goat's body was not strong enough to withstand the most evil spirit, so he raised the Heaven-Swallowing Formation Plate and protected his body with the power of the extreme.
They were extremely fast, like lightning, rushing towards the deepest abyss.
But the deeper they went, the denser the evil spirit became, until it became like a cloud that obscured all their senses.
Moreover, the pressure in the abyss is extremely terrifying, as if there are billions of mountains pressing in from all directions.
Although the old goat had the protection of the Heaven-Swallowing Formation, his face was still pale and his eyes were filled with an extremely solemn look.
However, this level of pressure is nothing to Ling Xiao. His body is immortal and his light is so bright and dazzling that it makes the void in all directions tremble slightly.
An extremely powerful divine power spread out, causing the powerful pressure around to dissipate into nothingness.
Boom!
I don’t know how long they flew, but suddenly black lightning rose up, containing an incomparably terrifying destructive force, and struck Ling Xiao and the old goat, like a black python, exuding a tyrannical aura.
Ling Xiao's eyes were fierce as he displayed the supreme fist seal. The light of his fist was unparalleled and continuously blasted the lightning around him into pieces.
The old goat activated the Heaven-Swallowing Formation, which was like a Heaven-Swallowing Realm, emitting tremendous devouring power, destroying all the oncoming lightning.
"Is this... the breath of the underworld?!"
Ling Xiao's heart was shocked, and a look of great surprise appeared in his eyes.
Although it was faint, he still sensed that the black lightning around him contained an aura that was almost exactly the same as that of the Netherworld.
"The Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation, and the aura of the Netherworld, could this place have something to do with the Netherworld?"
Ling Xiao thought secretly in his heart.
Although he had only fought one move with Netherworld before, he was extremely familiar with Netherworld's aura. The aura of Netherworld actually appeared in this deep abyss.
Youming is the King of the Six Absolutes, a person who has reached the pinnacle for six eras. It is possible that he has been here.
A sense of alertness arose in Ling Xiao's heart.
If this place is related to the Netherworld, the Netherworld must have sensed it by the time he and the old goat broke through the Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation.
Snap!
In front of him, blazing lightning rose up, vast as rain, like a river from the sky flowing back and pouring down like a waterfall. The incomparably terrifying destructive force seemed to be able to destroy all life.
But Ling Xiao felt a slight fluctuation of negative pole giving rise to positive pole from that extremely negative destructive aura.
"We should be almost at the bottom!"
Ling Xiao said slowly.
“Is it finally time?”
When the old goat heard Ling Xiao say this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. This extremely dark abyss was too depressing. If it was an ordinary ninth-level emperor, it would probably be difficult for him to survive here.
Whizzing!
After Ling Xiao and the old goat passed through the destructive thunder, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.
They appeared in an extremely huge underground space.
Before my eyes, the interweaving of yin and yang energies looked extremely mysterious, but they gushed out through two huge holes above my head and turned into two pillars of light that penetrated the sky and the earth!
"The Extreme Yin Abyss and the Extreme Yang Abyss are indeed connected!"
The old goat said with great excitement.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's the Yin Yang Bead, right?"
A gleam of light flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes, and fell on a bead in the distance.
In the center of the huge underground space, there is a chaos stone that is more than one person tall, shrouded in mysterious chaotic energy. On it floats a black and white bead, flowing with yin and yang energies. It contains the majestic origin of the Yin and Yang Avenue, and resonates with the Yin and Yang Avenue above Ling Xiao's head.
That bead is the source of the Yin-Yang light column.
The vast and majestic power of yin and yang formed various strange phenomena such as the most yin evil spirits and the most yang divine power. This is the power of that bead.
"It should be the Yin-Yang Pearl. It can emit such a majestic essence of the Yin-Yang Dao. It must be a rare treasure! But look at that stone. Does it look like the legendary Epoch Stone?!"
The old goat nodded, and suddenly his eyes fell on the Chaos Stone, and he immediately revealed a look of great surprise.
"Epoch Stone?"
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed. The Chaos Stone was more than one meter tall and looked very strange. It was surrounded by chaotic mist, but if you look closely, it seems to be free from time and has not been tainted by any breath of time.
Epoch Stone!
Ling Xiao was certain almost instantly that this Chaos Stone was the Epoch Stone, which was said to be able to resist the invasion of the power of time and allow those geniuses and evildoers to seal themselves in it.
"This is really strange! Apart from the Epoch Stone and the Yin-Yang Pearl, this place is extremely empty and there is nothing here. Where are the ancestors of the Zhou family? Could they have sealed themselves in this Epoch Stone?"
There was a hint of great surprise in the old goat's eyes.
The old goat's words made Ling Xiao's heart tremble slightly, as if a flash of lightning passed through his heart, and suddenly a bold idea burst out.
"Perhaps what you said is right. The ancestor of the Zhou family is in the Epoch Stone! But what I am curious about is that, trapped here by the Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation, he was able to calmly choose to seal himself and did not die in the Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation. Could it be that the master of the formation did not want to kill him?"
Ling Xiao said slowly, and walked towards the Yin Yang Pearl.
"Ling Xiao, be careful!"
The old goat couldn't help but be shocked and quickly reminded him.
"I know!"
Ling Xiao nodded lightly, then reached out to grab the Yin-Yang Bead!
Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap had exploded, and the Yin-Yang bead suddenly burst into an incomparably dazzling light. The vast Yin-Yang power rose up, like two divine dragons intertwined together, exuding a vast and ancient aura.
The Yin-Yang Pearl vibrated violently, and the Epoch Stone also trembled with it, as if it had some kind of induction.
boom!
There was a gleam of brilliant light in Ling Xiao's eyes, the origin of the Yin-Yang Avenue above his head rose, and his whole body exuded a powerful aura, and he instantly grabbed the Yin-Yang bead in his palm.
The forces of Yin and Yang intertwined and rose up like a blade, trying to break Ling Xiao's palm. The Yin and Yang Pearl trembled violently, as if it was about to fly from Ling Xiao's hand to the Epoch Stone!
Snap!
Cracks instantly appeared on the huge Epoch Stone, and an ancient and powerful aura gushed out from it.
Ling Xiao grabbed the Yin-Yang Pearl and stepped back instantly!
boom!
The Epoch Stone exploded with a loud bang, and the vast and majestic Yin-Yang divine light gushed out. A figure with an unfathomable aura appeared in front of Ling Xiao and the old goat.
The old goat immediately summoned the Heaven-Swallowing Formation Plate to protect him and Ling Xiao.
But when they saw the figure clearly, they all showed expressions of great shock.
In the Yin-Yang divine light, there was a woman in a purple dress floating. She had an extremely beautiful face, and she exuded an elegant and luxurious aura.
The woman had her eyes closed and was filled with deathly aura. She looked like she was dead, but there was still a hint of life in her body, which was very strange.
The woman's body exuded the vast origin of the Yin and Yang Avenue, which produced an extremely mysterious resonance with the Yin and Yang beads in Ling Xiao's hand.
The most important thing is that Ling Xiao and Old Goat discovered that the woman in purple dress in front of them was exactly the same as Zhou Yuan’s granddaughter, Zhou Zisu!
"Is this the ancestor of the Zhou family? Why is she so similar to Zhou Zisu? And she seems to be dead, but how did she get sealed in this Epoch Stone?"
The old goat's heart was full of doubts.
He originally thought that there was a self-proclaimed genius in this Epoch Stone, and he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he immediately sacrificed the Heaven-Swallowing Formation.
But he didn't expect that there was only a corpse in the Epoch Stone!
"She is dead for sure! That ray of life was just injected into her body by someone later, in order to seal her in the Epoch Stone!"
Ling Xiao said slowly, with an extremely strange look in his eyes.
Buzz!
He let go of the Yin-Yang Bead in his hand.
The Yin-Yang Bead vibrated and instantly rose into the air, floating on the body of the woman in the purple dress. The vast and powerful Yin-Yang power intertwined, forming a resonance with the Yin-Yang Avenue in the body of the woman in the purple dress.
Boom!
From within the body of the woman in purple skirt, the vast Yin-Yang divine light poured into the Yin-Yang Pearl, making it become brighter and brighter, like a sun, gorgeous and dazzling.
There was a hint of great surprise in Ling Xiao's eyes. He vaguely saw the Yin and Yang changing in the Yin and Yang beads, as if an extremely ancient world had emerged.
The majestic aura contained in the Yin-Yang Pearl made Ling Xiao feel palpitations.
"This Yin-Yang Pearl actually has such a powerful force of Yin and Yang accumulated in it? Could it be that over the past few epochs, the Yin-Yang Pearl has been using the power of this purple-dressed woman to devour the source of Yin and Yang between heaven and earth?"
Ling Xiao's heart was secretly shaken, and a look of great surprise appeared in his eyes.
In his opinion, the woman in purple dress was like a medium between the Yin-Yang Pearl and the origin of the Yin-Yang Avenue. She could continuously extract the origin of the Yin-Yang Avenue and infuse it into the Yin-Yang Pearl.
Therefore, the Yin-Yang Bead and the woman in purple dress seemed to be one and the same, and the two had an extremely mysterious resonance.
Boom!
As the Yin-Yang Pearl was swallowed, the body of the woman in purple skirt shook violently, and in the end it shattered into pieces, turning into incomparably pure Yin-Yang divine light, which was all integrated into the Yin-Yang Pearl.
And inside the body of the woman in purple dress, there were thousands of stars blooming, intertwining with each other, like a divine chain of order, emitting a mysterious Taoist charm.
"Original Dao Fruit?"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that those thousands of stars were actually thousands of original Dao fruits.
Moreover, they are all original fruits of the Tao of perfect quality.
Seeing that the thousands of Origin Dao Fruits were about to be completely devoured by the Yin-Yang Pearl, Ling Xiao suddenly grabbed in mid-air, and his powerful cultivation burst out, grabbing all the thousands of Origin Dao Fruits.
The Yin-Yang Pearl kept buzzing, as if it was very dissatisfied with Ling Xiao's behavior of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but in the end it had no way to do anything.
Thousands of original Tao fruits were all collected by Ling Xiao, and the light of the Yin-Yang Pearl gradually dimmed, turning into a black and white bead and flew back into Ling Xiao's palm.
And the woman in the purple dress seemed as if she had never appeared.
"Zhou Yuan really didn't lie to me!"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, and a brilliant light burst out from between his eyebrows, like a whirlpool, instantly collecting the thousands of original Dao fruits into the sea of consciousness between his eyebrows.
The immortal soul emitted a brilliant light, covering all the thousands of original fruits of the Tao, and began to slowly refine them.
Although a large part of the thousands of Origin Dao Fruits overlapped with Ling Xiao’s Origin Dao Fruits, it could also provide him with hundreds of Origin Dao Fruits of perfect quality.
Ling Xiao roughly estimated that after it was completely refined, the number of original Dao fruits in his soul's sea of consciousness would probably exceed two thousand!
"How is this going?"
The old goat looked at the Yin-Yang beads in Ling Xiao's hand and asked with confusion.
"If my guess is correct, this matter should be related to the Netherworld!"
Ling Xiao said lightly, with a sharp look in his eyes.
"The Netherworld? The Lord of the Samsara Imperial City, the Netherworld?"
"That's right! This woman in purple should be the ancestor of the Zhou family. However, she died at the hands of the Netherworld several epochs ago. Before she died, the Netherworld set up the Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation and sealed her in the Epoch Stone, using its power to communicate with the origin of the Yin-Yang Avenue to nourish the Yin-Yang Pearl!
So you should have discovered that although the Yin-Yang Purgatory Formation is a perfect imperial formation, its power is not strong enough, because its main purpose is to breed this Yin-Yang Pearl!"
Ling Xiao looked at the Yin-Yang Bead in his palm and said slowly.
"What? Killing the Zhou family ancestor is not enough, but you also need to use the Zhou family ancestor's body to nourish this Yin Yang Pearl? Although this Yin Yang Pearl is a rare treasure, it is not an extreme imperial weapon. Why does Youming nourish the Yin Yang Pearl?"
The old goat said in disbelief.
"Then we have to ask Youming! He should be not far from here. I think we should go out and greet him!"
Ling Xiao said lightly, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see into the endless nothingness.
"Is Youming coming to retrieve the Yin-Yang Pearl? If he dares to come, this time he will never return!"
The old goat said murderously, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
From various clues, it can be seen that this Netherworld is not only extremely powerful, but is also probably a powerful formation master. The old goat is full of expectations to be able to fight against such a formation master.
"Let's get out of here first!"
Ling Xiao smiled calmly, then instantly jumped up, transformed into a dazzling stream of light, and swept out of the abyss of darkness.
Without the Yin-Yang Pearl, the Extreme Yin Abyss and the Extreme Yang Abyss no longer spewed out Yin-Yang light beams. They became two ordinary abysses, no longer able to cause any impact on Ling Xiao and the old goat.
