Chapter 412: Immortal King Battles the Nine Underworlds

## Chapter 416: Immortal King Battles Nine Nether

Gai Jiuyou, a peerless figure from eight thousand years ago, was unrivaled across the land. He overlooked all beings, just one step shy of becoming a Great Emperor. It was rumored that he passed away in the Great Wilderness.

Ethereal immortal music, drifting gently, seemed to flow from ancient times. It resonated with the Grand Dao, making the night sky seem boundless and filled with an inexplicable mystique.

Under the moonlight, Xia Jiuyou, dressed in white, had bright eyes and flowing hair, as if standing in the pure land of immortals.

Yet, a surging killing intent erupted. At that moment, many cultivators felt their skin crack, their vital organs threatened, their souls on the verge of destruction, and their bones nearly dissolving.

The killing intent was boundless! When heaven manifests killing intent, stars shift and constellations change; when earth manifests killing intent, dragons and serpents rise from the ground; when humans manifest killing intent, heaven and earth are overturned.

Everyone's heart turned cold with fear, and they quickly retreated. As the Nine Nether Immortal Melody sounded, it concealed boundless killing intent, almost bringing about a collapse of heaven and earth!

Xia Jiuyou stood clearly close by, yet she gave off an incredibly ethereal illusion, as if she were on the other side of the starry sky, isolated in a realm beyond reach.

“Om!” The Immortal King's strike, all-encompassing, covered the sky with a massive hand, nearly reaching Xia Jiuyou and fiercely colliding with the 'Dao sounds' within that realm.

It was like the clash of a million armies, piercing metal and cracking stone, sweeping across the high heavens. Or like a sky-reaching tsunami, with countless stars falling simultaneously. The two unleashed world-shattering attacks the moment they met.

Ye Fan stood still in the void, unmoving, manifesting a small world where the Nine Heavens ebbed and flowed.

Above his head, myriad streams of profound yellow energy descended. He manifested another self, seated high in the Nine Heavens, solemn and majestic, like a deity.

The 'Immortal King Descending upon the Nine Heavens' was one of the most terrifying ancient phenomena. The moment it was unleashed, it possessed the power to shatter heaven and earth, stunning everyone.

“Bang!” The Immortal King descended to the mortal realm, looking down upon all beings. He stepped forth from the Nine Heavens, advancing towards Xia Jiuyou. She wore a nine-dragon crown and a myriad-dragon robe, exuding overwhelming power.

“Om!” The void trembled, almost tearing apart. The Immortal King tore open the confinement, continuously approaching Xia Jiuyou, intent on breaking into her pure land.

“Zheng Zheng…” The immortal melody unleashed world-shocking attacks like a tide, as if a thousand armies were galloping. It dimmed the stars and moon, caused the firmament to crack, and resisted the opponent.

“Dong!” The Immortal King's might was unparalleled. His massive hand continuously bombarded the materialized Dao sounds, clashing violently with them!

The Nine Nether Immortal Melody was rarely heard in the world; since ancient times, it had only sounded a few times. It stood alongside the Divine Overture as a world-shaking Dao sound, possessing incomparable might.

It could be said that it held the profound mystery of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, capable of obliterating all techniques in the world. If anyone else had come to duel, they would have certainly died long ago, turning into dust; it would have been impossible for them to even approach.

The Sacred Body was unparalleled, restraining all phenomena under heaven and overpowering all Dao power. Nothing could impede its steps; once it broke through, it broke through everything, unstoppable.

It was precisely for this reason that the two were like needle points facing sharp edges, fiercely confronting each other, with neither able to gain an advantage in the short term.

This was an extraordinary battle. Xia Jiuyou imprinted her body into the void, as if standing at the other end of the starry sky, while the Nine Nether Immortal Melody gently resounded, awing the world.

The Immortal King advanced step by step, as if traversing myriad heavens, seeking to enter the isolated realm to contend against the supreme immortal melody!

Many of the younger generation turned pale. This kind of battle filled their hearts with dread. Once the Nine Nether Immortal Melody was unleashed, who could contend against it?

It could obliterate all techniques in the world, cleanse the Grand Dao, cut down the firmament, and possessed supreme power! This exquisite youth, with bright eyes and skin fairer than snow, was truly a heaven-defying prodigy.

With this melody merely at minor accomplishment, she could traverse the world and look down upon the younger generation. No wonder she dared to proclaim herself the strongest in the world and sought to take Ye Fan as her servant.

Only the Sacred Body dared to be so forceful, actively launching an attack, traversing myriad heavens, continuously pressing forward, relying on its supreme phenomenon to assault the immortal melody.

“Zheng…” The immortal melody played, dimming heaven and earth. It transformed into tangible waves, like streams of Grand Dao runes, suppressing all.

Dragons soared together, phoenixes and qilin contended! White Tigers roared at the moon, and Longevity Tortoises ascended into the sky!

The immortal melody shook the heavens, its tangible sound waves transforming into Grand Dao patterns, resembling various immortal spirits, striking towards Ye Fan to obliterate the Immortal King.

“Qiang!” Ye Fan stood like a deity, unmoving, his phenomenon's might growing even stronger.

The Immortal King acted on his behalf, traversing the Nine Heavens, pressing into that pure land, and attacking from within!

With both hands, he pushed the sun and moon, moving forward like a true Immortal King, as if patrolling the heavens, shattering divine patterns one after another, irresistible!

“Om!” As the immortal melody stirred, nine Grand Dao patterns transformed into a winding river, rushing towards the Immortal King.

Ye Fan was startled; the nine Grand Dao rivers looked exactly like the Nine Bends Yellow River, possessing incredible power, sweeping away everything and stirring the high heavens.

“Bang!” The Immortal King was like an unfathomable abyss. With hands forming seals, he unleashed the sun and moon, illuminating the starry sky, exhausting the utmost mysteries of heaven and earth, his phenomenon overwhelming.

In the sky, a thunderous sound erupted. The Immortal King retreated, and Xia Jiuyou also trembled, an enchanting brilliance flickering in her clear eyes, but her battle intent grew even stronger.

“Boom!” The Immortal King knocked at the gate, seeking to enter the pure land to contend against the Nine Nether Immortal Melody!

This realm was on the verge of shattering, trembling like a painting, ready to be torn apart at any moment and crumble into dust.

Everyone was astonished and deeply shaken. Both were still in their youth, yet their duel was already so terrifying. What kind of power would they wield if they were to ascend to the position of a Sacred Lord?

Xia Jiuyou could absolutely be compared to a youthful Great Emperor. She was only about thirteen years old, far from adulthood, and her qi and blood had not yet reached their peak, yet she possessed boundless potential!

She was truly rare in ancient times, a heaven-blessed genius of this era. One couldn't help but marvel; she was almost unassailable, with few among the younger generation capable of fighting her.

Ye Fan, too, caused everyone's expressions to change. Having just entered the Four Extremities Realm, his Sacred Body, despite only achieving minor accomplishment, possessed such combat power, exceeding everyone's expectations.

His phenomenon filled everyone with dread. It could be said that from then on, once the Sacred Body was unleashed, other people's phenomena would pale in comparison and be unusable in his presence, or they would certainly be suppressed.

“Om!” The void trembled, and the Nine Nether Immortal Melody, astonishing the world, transformed into a Dao diagram, flying forward to envelop Ye Fan.

This immediately reminded Ye Fan of the Innate Dao Diagram woven by the great heavens and earth, which had nearly destroyed his Dao foundation. If not for the peerless Divine King's life-risking intervention, he would have been struck down into a ten-thousand-zhang abyss.

“Boom!” The Immortal King stood in the Nine Heavens, solemn and majestic, holding an immortal sword. It was as if he was creating heaven and earth, slowly brandishing it to unleash suffocatingly terrifying fluctuations.

Evolving myriad heavens, the immortal sword suppressed the Nine Heavens, striking the Dao diagram and emitting a terrifying sound that pierced through the firmament. Everyone in the divine city felt their hearts pound, nearly stopping their breath.

The stars and moon lost their luster, and heaven and earth dimmed. Only an oceanic wave of terrifying aura permeated the air, intimidating the souls and bones of countless cultivators!

The Immortal King in the Nine Heavens swayed but did not fall, having sustained an immense impact.

Xia Jiuyou in the other realm also trembled slightly, but the brilliance in her eyes intensified. She murmured to herself, “Only a servant like this is worthy of me!”

The 'Immortal King Descending upon the Nine Heavens' and the Nine Nether Immortal Melody clashed, and for a time, it was difficult to tell who had the upper hand, leaving people profoundly astonished.

“Xia Jiuyou must have some connection to Gai Jiuyou from eight thousand years ago. She most likely inherited his legacy; they possess the same physique!”

People quickly made their conjectures, reasoning that at her age, she certainly couldn't have comprehended the true immortal melody. This must be a melody pattern etched by a predecessor.

Otherwise, if the true Nine Nether Immortal Melody were unleashed, heaven and earth would lose their luster, the sun and moon would dim, and it would possess unimaginable power that nothing could contend against.

For it stood alongside the Divine Overture, in no way inferior to it.

When the peerless Divine King performed the Divine Melody, it was truly earth-shattering and ghost-wailing, even obliterating the Sacred Body's hundred-thousand-year-old curse—the Innate Dao Diagram.

The Nine Nether Immortal Melody witnessed by people now was clearly far from that level; it must be an imitation, not an immortal melody refined through one's own spiritual sublimation.

“It’s related to Gai Jiuyou from eight thousand years ago, this…” After making this rough deduction, everyone was stunned.

At the same time, people felt extreme trepidation towards Ye Fan's phenomenon. The 'Immortal King Descending upon the Nine Heavens' was merely in its initial stage, far from grand perfection, and its ultimate power was something no one in the world could explain clearly.

This most terrifying ancient phenomenon, embodying an Immortal King, was enough to explain everything!

“Is this the limit of your abilities? If so, bind yourself with iron chains and come with me.” Xia Jiuyou stood with her hands behind her back, her arrogance reaching the clouds, a stark contrast to her exquisite beauty.

“What do you have to be arrogant about?” Ye Fan sneered.

Xia Jiuyou assumed a stance of looking down on the world and said, “My heaven-defying means haven't even been fully displayed. What do you have to contend with me? I have the Nine Nether Immortal Melody, which can utterly break your phenomenon. Don't delude yourself into thinking you can engage me in close combat. Once one enters the Four Extremities Realm and manipulates the Grand Dao of the Four Extremities of Heaven and Earth, who still relies on physical brawling? What I wield is the Grand Dao, enough to suppress you!”

“Qiang!” A black-gold battle armor appeared on Xia Jiuyou's body, as translucent as black jade. The cold, dark metal made her skin appear even fairer and more delicate.

Dressed in the black-gold battle armor, she gained a heroic aura. Her exquisite face showed less fragility, and her arrogance grew even stronger. Her eyes were like water, her hair fluttered, and in her hand, she held a black immortal sword.

She still stood in another realm. As she had said, after comprehending the Grand Dao, she could imprint herself in the void and wield the Grand Dao of heaven and earth. Compared to other cultivators in the Four Extremities Realm, she was undoubtedly a transcendent being standing among the clouds.

“It's not that I'm taking advantage of you having just entered the Four Extremities Realm; it's because the gap between us will only widen. I am about to advance to the 'Dragon Transformation' Realm, and you will never be able to catch up to me. This is your last chance!”

Xia Jiuyou's black-gold battle armor gleamed. Her grace was unparalleled, her skin luminous, her eyes clear, and her black immortal sword was awe-inspiring. She was immensely self-assured.

“Become my servant, and be loyal to me for life!”

Others felt that now was the best time to kill Ye Fan, but she believed the exact opposite, her arrogance reaching its peak.

“Brat!” Ye Fan uttered just these three words.

“Boom!” Ye Fan stood unmoving as a mountain, yet his vital energy surged skyward. The 'Immortal King Descending upon the Nine Heavens' phenomenon had merged with him. He himself had transformed into that Immortal King, and with every move, he seemed capable of tearing this world apart.

“Om!” The Dragon-Patterned Black-Gold Saint Spirit Sword in his hand vibrated. It was ten zhang long, as heavy as a great mountain, and seemed to crush space. Ye Fan advanced step by step.

“The Sacred Body and the phenomenon have merged!” “It is said to grant supreme combat power!”

All cultivators were stunned, not having expected Ye Fan to achieve this level upon first entering the Four Extremities Realm.

“Om!” Ye Fan wielded his great sword, cleaving the firmament and overpowering the Nine Nether Immortal Melody!

“Dong!” Xia Jiuyou, imprinted in the void, wielded the immortal sword in her hand and struck down, unleashing the Innate Dao Diagram, which pressed down. She did not approach closely, truly fighting by wielding the Grand Dao as she had said, avoiding close combat.

“Om!” The Nine Nether Immortal Melody resounded through the Nine Heavens, its Dao sounds endless, echoing across the starry sky. It possessed supreme might, capable of obliterating all tangible things. This was the prelude to the Tribulation Immortal Melody!

“Boom!” Suddenly, Ye Fan instantly tore open this small realm and strode in. He was truly like an Immortal King, his divine might unstoppable.

With the activation of the 'All' character secret from the Nine Secrets, his combat power instantly increased tenfold, and even the Nine Nether Immortal Melody could not stop him!

In that instant, Ye Fan broke through the Nine Nether Immortal Melody, strode into Xia Jiuyou's pure land, and swung the Dragon-Patterned Black-Gold Saint Spirit Sword to strike.

“Clang!” Xia Jiuyou was startled. Her entire black-gold battle armor glowed, and she raised her black immortal sword to meet the attack, the sound shaking the sky.

“Bang!”

“You…” Xia Jiuyou shrieked, her face flushed with anger, her dark hair fluttering. Ye Fan swung his great black sword, tearing open the small realm, and struck her on the hip, sending her flying backward. If not for her black-gold battle armor, she would have been in grave danger.
