Chapter 766 Refining Naigu! The Power of the Underworld
Yuan's gaze fell on Naigu.
Of all those present, Naigu's path of the Hunyuan bloodline was the most dangerous and the most worrying.
The cultivation traditions passed down among the seven lords are all public knowledge, and even Naigu's self-created Heart-Severing Technique is known to the other lords.
During this period, the strength of the seven lords has been increasing dramatically.
Naigu's growth is second only to Xingmang, Yuan, and Jin, and his strength is already greater than that of the other lords.
However, this comes at a price.
Naigu remained silent for a moment, his head slightly lowered.
"Currently, I have a total of thirty-six ancestral bloodlines in my body, of which I have refined twenty-four. However, each bloodline contains the residual will of the ancestor."
His voice was somewhat hoarse: "With the ancestral soul given by Qin Ming, my soul has also grown considerably stronger, and it can suppress it."
However, the risk is still quite high.
Once struck by a soul-related blow, and the will falters, these things will backfire.
Qin Ming and the other six lords nodded slightly. Although Naigu was crazy, he was not without reason. The ancestral bloodline he had refined was still within his tolerance range.
"The Hunyuan Bloodline Dao still has flaws. I have tried many methods, but I have never been able to completely refine the will in the ancestral bloodline."
The only option is to eradicate them as much as possible, and then suppress them.
"As for the final solution, you all know it. I created the Heart-Severing Technique" precisely to deal with this method, cutting off individual wills one by one.
I could suppress it with my own will, but that would be too risky.
Moreover, if I take this path, my life will be completely changed.
Wu Lan frowned and spoke directly.
"The Heart-Severing Technique is too dangerous; it's like raising a group of enemies inside your own body."
He had naturally read the Heart-Severing Technique. It seemed like a good idea to cut off all these dissenting wills from the body and turn them into independent personalities, but while it was easy to cut them off, it was difficult to bring them back.
If he can't suppress it, then is Naigu still himself?
"It's risky, but it's the only way we can do it." Naigu smiled bitterly. "My Hunyuan Bloodline Dao still has its flaws. Devouring bloodlines increases strength quickly, but the price is naturally high."
In the past, with fewer bloodlines, they could withstand the pressure, but now that they've devoured over thirty progenitors, suppressing them is becoming increasingly difficult.
Everyone fell silent.
The Hunyuan Bloodline has an extremely high upper limit; theoretically, the more bloodlines it devours, the stronger it becomes, but hidden dangers also follow it like a shadow.
The rules of the universe are something one gradually comprehends; with a pure foundation, such troubles are naturally avoided.
Ke Naigu follows the path of fusion and devouring, and naturally carries these shackles.
Qin Ming sighed inwardly.
Thirty-six kinds of ancestral bloodlines!
If Naigu were to be completely refined by it, its strength would probably be even more terrifying than Yuandu's!
Of course, the consequences will be extremely dire.
If he relies solely on the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls and grows through methods of slaughter, he will inevitably encounter similar problems.
His situation might even be more serious than Naigu's.
So he did not do that, but instead created the Great Dao of Reincarnation!
"I have a way to temporarily alleviate your potential problems."
Qin Ming spoke, his voice calm, "The power of the Myriad Soul Banner is enough to completely refine the bloodline and soul of the progenitor, turning them into the purest soul essence."
You've all absorbed it, so I won't go into too much detail.
By harnessing the power of the Myriad Souls Banner to penetrate its core, the Soul Millstone can crush the ancestral remnants hidden deep within your bloodline and soul.
While it cannot fundamentally resolve the flaws in your bloodline, it can help clear away any accumulated dissenting wills, giving you more time to perfect your cultivation technique.
Naigu looked up at Qin Ming, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, which then turned into a complex expression.
In fact, he had been paying attention to the power of reincarnation in the underworld for a long time.
Since the establishment of the underworld, countless souls have been purified and reincarnated within it, and the fragments of will mixed among the souls have been worn away cleanly.
He had considered asking Qin Ming for help, but he had reservations at first.
To hand over one's soul and bloodline to another is tantamount to handing over one's life.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is so infamous that anyone would hesitate to enter it.
However, after observing Qin Ming's actions, the order of the underworld, and the laws of reincarnation over this period of time, he gradually lowered his guard.
People can lie, but the Way cannot.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation embodies the cycle of life and death, while the Underworld governs the order of the departed souls; these are the best explanations.
Moreover, if Qin Ming wanted to harm him, he wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.
He touched down, and there were originally thirty ancestral figures!
Even though some of them were devoured, there were still top-tier beings like the Giant God Emperor, the Primordial Beast Ancestor, and the Lord of Purgatory Mountain, so there was no need for them to turn against the lords.
"If that's the case, then that would be perfect."
Naigu agreed readily, his massive body nodding slightly. "Then I'll trouble you. As long as it's convenient for you, I can enter the Underworld at any time."
Yuan and Xingmang exchanged a glance, both of them breathing a sigh of relief.
The lord is immortal!
If Naigu were to lose control one day and resort to the Heart-Severing Technique to devour more progenitors, it would be a terrifying time bomb!
Fortunately, Naigu lowered his guard.
"Come with me."
Without wasting words, Qin Ming opened the Netherworld Gate and went in first, followed closely by Naigu's imposing figure, and the other lords also created clones to follow behind.
A purification of origin at the Lord level is a rare sight, and they are naturally curious about it.
call-
Endless space and time flew by beneath their feet, and all seven lords sensed it all—the teleportation speed was incredible!
It's not much slower than the travel speed before the Starburst Breakthrough.
"It seems that you have made considerable progress in your understanding of space and time during this period, reaching this level."
Even the stars exclaimed in admiration.
This is not boasting, but the truth!
What's most terrifying is that Qin Ming has already established a complete system!
A system that encompasses four thousand source worlds!
"It's still far from enough. Although there has been some improvement, it still relies on the increasingly powerful strength of the Underworld itself. For a qualitative change to occur, I still need to comprehend the Chaotic Reincarnation Dao."
Qin Ming shook his head, showing little arrogance.
As they passed through the gates of the underworld, an immensely vast world appeared before them.
The black earth stretched to the horizon, and the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotated in the sky, with countless souls flowing orderly within it.
Majestic cities stand tall among them.
The Underworld is no longer what it was when it was first built. Its territory is millions of times larger than the Origin World, and it is growing every moment as energy flows into each reincarnation channel under the World Tree.
Offerings to the Four Thousand Source Worlds!
What an enormous amount of energy this is!
However, as the period of rapid growth from the first wave of devouring the source world's energy passed, the growth of the Underworld entered a relatively flat phase.
That's not surprising.
The underworld is now vast, and its power has reached a terrifying level.
It should be noted that the Fire Hell Wall, one of the three pillars of the Infinite Chaos Space, which radiates endless energy, only spans a few hundred world clusters.
"Such a profound origin of the world."
Wu Lan looked up at the sky. He was the largest in size and had the most acute perception of matter and the immeasurable.
The earth beneath our feet may seem ordinary, but every grain of dust is incredibly refined. While not as refined as the Eternal Land, it is still quite extraordinary.
Jin narrowed his eyes. He could clearly feel that the destructive aura, resentment, and murderous intent emanating from the air were being slowly drawn away and dismantled by the power of reincarnation, ultimately transforming into the purest energy to nourish the world.
In the eighteen hells of the underworld, there is an even stronger negative emotion!
That is where countless guilty people are judged and punished!
"No wonder that figure on the 34th floor of the Abyss of Destruction said that your Netherworld stole its negative emotions, because with the Netherworld there, all the negative emotions in the source world have entered the Netherworld."
They entered the underworld and became nourishment for its growth.
Jin was also quite impressed, as he had come across many secrets in the Mountain of Destruction.
The Abyss of Destruction is the gathering place of negative emotions in the entire infinite primordial space, but even the largest place has its limits.
What happens once the limit is reached?
It will naturally erupt!
The entire infinite primordial space will face a catastrophe!
Fortunately, the Infinite Chaos Space is still relatively young, so there's no need to worry about this issue for now. Furthermore, the presence of Qin Ming's Netherworld can greatly slow down the process.
"Indeed, it is incredibly profound. The existence of the Underworld is comparable to the most prestigious mysterious places, and it is not much inferior to the three great mysterious places."
Most importantly, the underworld is still growing!
Yuan's body surged with power, and his twenty-seven senses of rules spread out with all their might, extending along the rules of heaven and earth of the underworld.
Life, soul, matter, cause and effect, space and time—countless rules are interwoven into a web under the rule of the six realms of reincarnation, forming a complete, self-consistent, and ever-growing world system.
It is not a collection of scattered rules, but a complete world with a core, a framework, and a cycle.
Here, even he and Xingmang would be suppressed!
Suppression without any resistance!
Upon hearing Yuan's words, the other lords all felt a chill run down their spines.
They knew all too well how high Yuan's standards were.
"Indeed, if it weren't for the permissions granted by Qin Ming, it would be incredibly difficult for me to travel through time and space here."
Even the starlight shook its head slightly; the spacetime here was far too thick!
Unless he unleashes his full power, he probably won't be able to utilize even 30% of his strength here.
"Come with me. The growth of the Underworld is due to the support of the Four Thousand Origin Worlds and everyone else. This achievement is nothing special."
Qin Ming smiled.
Can it be strong?
The essence of the underworld is the core space of the Myriad Souls Banner.
The Myriad Soul Banner had already grown into a supreme treasure at the Chaos Origin level, and had devoured a large amount of ancestral flesh and soul, as well as countless innate Chaos Origin life forms!
Furthermore, it is nourished by the endless life and souls of the four thousand source worlds.
call!
During their spatial journey, the group quickly arrived at the core area of the underworld.
A massive black and white millstone floated in the depths of the netherworld, slowly turning and emitting a low hum.
Looking at the secret runes engraved on the Soul Grinding Wheel, even the seven lords felt a shock in their hearts and sensed a deadly threat!
Although the threat was faint, they knew that it was just the instinctive release of the Soul Grinding Wheel. If its power were to erupt, even an existence like Mogus would be forcibly annihilated!
The reason their souls grew stronger was because they devoured the soul essence of Mogus!
Mogus was the strongest soul in the entire Infinite Chaos Space, yet he had no power to resist this Soul Grinding Wheel.
"Reveal your true form."
Qin Ming stood beside the millstone, turned to look at Naigu, and said, "To completely cleanse the will hidden deep within your bloodline, we must shatter the basic form of your physical body and purify it along with your soul."
The process will be painful; be prepared.
"A little pain is nothing."
Naigu laughed, and his aura suddenly exploded.
The enormous serpentine body continued to expand and deform in the netherworld, and the original nine heads gradually split and multiplied, eventually transforming into a total of twenty-one heads.
Wings covered in black scales grew from the snake's back, and sharp claws like knives sprouted from its belly. Between the scales, one could even see distorted, roaring faces.
Those were the ancestral wills that he had devoured, all of which surfaced when his physical body completely released its suppression.
From a distance, he looked like a twisted monster pieced together from the remains of countless progenitors, his ferocious aura soaring into the sky.
Even Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.
He knew that Naigu had devoured a lot of bloodlines, but he did not expect that the degree of distortion had reached this level.
This is no longer just a backlash of will; even the physical form is starting to get out of control.
The moment they saw Naigu's true form, all six lords felt a chill in their hearts.
Wu Lan's massive body leaned forward slightly, and he gasped, "I originally thought it was just the willpower that was difficult to suppress, but I didn't expect even the physical body to be twisted like this."
Jin's brows furrowed. He and Naigu had fought their way through the darkest of times and he considered himself to know each other best, yet he had never seen Naigu completely let go of his inhibitions.
"Thirty-six bloodlines, twelve of which haven't been fully refined—this guy, when he goes crazy, he'll even gamble on himself."
Moman also spoke in a deep voice: "No wonder Naigu created the Heart-Severing Technique. If it were anyone else, they would probably have been possessed by numerous wills long ago."
""
"It's more serious than I expected."
Qin Ming shook his head, "Even if one has the soul essence to strengthen their divine soul after devouring more than thirty progenitors in a short period of time, they still cannot withstand the continuous erosion of the bloodline will."
Furthermore, by forcibly fusing with an unrefined bloodline, you've essentially planted a bunch of embers within your body.
"I know what I'm doing." All twenty-one of Naigu's heads spoke at the same time, their voices overlapping yet still steady. "If I really can't suppress it, I won't swallow it."
"Give me some more time. Although I can't refine the will, restoring the physical body to normal shouldn't be a problem."
After he finished speaking, the enormous snake body trembled slightly and drifted towards the space between the soul millstones.
"Let's begin. I can handle this pain."
Buzz—
The black and white millstone suddenly accelerated its rotation, its deep hum causing the entire core of the underworld to tremble slightly. An indescribable pulling force spread from the center of the millstone, first landing on the scales on Naigu's body.
*Sizzle*
The first layer of black scales was easily crushed like paper, turning into tiny particles of the original substance.
Next came flesh, bones, and veins—the enormous snake body was dismantled and ground up bit by bit by the millstone. In just a short while, Naigu's body was almost completely torn apart.
The ancestral will hidden deep within the bloodline also erupted!
