In an instant, Ye Tianchen, with the power of the ”Undying Golden Body Skill,” reconstructed his physical body in the blink of an eye, standing in midair. By then, he had completely broken free from the vicious secret technique of the Nine Netherworld that imprisoned souls. However, the person from the Nine Netherworld hiding in the shadows still hadn’t shown himself. This guy was extremely cunning and shameless, only knowing how to hide and launch sneak attacks from the dark.

”You...you actually not only broke free from our Nine Netherworld’s powerful secret technique but also reconstructed your physical body in an instant...” the voice of the sinister person rang in Ye Tianchen’s mind, full of disbelief.

Swoosh!

Ye Tianchen disappeared, and at that moment, he appeared on a nearby mountain peak. Clenching his right hand tightly, a golden fist radiance burst forth, directly launching a golden punch that pulverized the mountain peak opposite. As a loud bang echoed, the entire mountain exploded, and a shadowy figure sprung from the dust. It was only visible as a black shadow, resembling the shadow of a person detached from their body and moving independently. Ye Tianchen frowned; he knew this was an exclusive secret technique of the Nine Netherworld, with an ancient and fearsome heritage that rivaled the profound Buddhist Sect’s teachings. He had to approach it with caution.

Slap!

Stretching out a giant palm, Ye Tianchen reached for the shadow. When he grabbed the shadow’s head, his hand passed right through the black shadow’s head without holding anything substantial, as if it was purely a shadow, and not a physical entity. This startled Ye Tianchen greatly.

”Hmph, want to catch me? I’m afraid you, Ye Tianchen, don’t have the skills!” The shadow rebuffed Ye Tianchen with a cold snort.

Ye Tianchen frowned, and indeed, this shadow used an extremely bizarre secret technique, something he had never seen or heard of before. This certainly highlighted the power of the Nine Netherworld. However, Ye Tianchen did not guess wrong that the person hiding in the dark and using this vicious secret technique on him was not particularly strong. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stayed hidden, avoiding coming out. Compared to the Netherworld Blood Demon, this person’s power was far inferior. In his battle with the Netherworld Blood Demon, Ye Tianchen was seriously injured. If not for the beggar Feng Qingyang, he might have been killed by the Netherworld Ghost Hand. That was the only battle that left him perturbed, where he first experienced the terror of the Nine Netherworld.

”What kind of secret technique is this? It can penetrate the attacks on the physical body?” Ye Tianchen wondered, frowning.

Though he was pondering, Ye Tianchen’s moves were not slow. Since physical body power’s attacks couldn’t capture the shadow, he decided to try the assault with Martial Arts True Power.

Bam!

Delivering an ”Overlord Fist,” even though Ye Tianchen had yet to cultivate the ”Overlord Fist” to a state of great success, with his current cultivation level of a Mid-stage Martial Saint, combined with his different understandings of some Martial Arts Cultivation Methods, the Martial Arts Divine Skill he unleashed carried a special Taoist rhythm, belonging to Ye Tianchen’s Tao. Although just beginning to take shape, it already possessed some personal Taoistic might.

Bang!

A large mountain was shattered into dust. Although the power of Ye Tianchen’s ”Overlord Fist” was incomparably powerful, it still could not hit the escaping shadow. The shadow seemed impervious to any attack; the attack power would pass through its shadow, meaning it couldn’t be struck at all.

The shadow obviously had employed a certain secret technique, very powerful, making Ye Tianchen’s attacks ineffective, whether from physical body power or Martial Arts Divine Skills, they couldn’t kill this shadow.

”Even if you luckily deciphered our Nine Netherworld’s secret technique confining souls, that’s only because my strength wasn’t sufficient to fully unleash the power of this secret technique. This kind of secret technique that can penetrate any attack is something you absolutely cannot crack. You can only watch me leave, and I’ll kill you next time!” The shadow sneered at Ye Tianchen as he spoke.

Ye Tianchen said nothing; he wasn’t someone who enjoyed speaking much. Only in certain situations, in front of certain people, would he become somewhat talkative. Ye Tianchen’s eyes shot out two beams of divine radiance, like two sharp swords, aimed directly at the shadow.

”Ah, no!”

Puff!

The figure was forcefully split into two by the two beams of Divine Radiance shooting out from Ye Tianchen’s eyes; blood gushed out instantly. Meanwhile, the figure revealed its True Body, a person clad entirely in a black robe, with a somewhat rat-faced appearance. The black robe was the distinctive attire of the Nine Netherworlds’ people, which Ye Tianchen understood very well. However, when he saw the sinister eyes of this person, he suddenly felt a sense of deja vu because in the battle with the Netherworld Blood Demon, Ye Tianchen had seen such eyes before. At that time, he had just become a Martial Artist and his Cultivation Battle Power was far from as formidable as it was now. At present, such eyes could no longer affect him; instead, they gave him the urge to kill.

”You...” The figure failed and was eventually hit by the two beams of Divine Radiance from Ye Tianchen’s eyes. Now his body was in four pieces. Although not yet completely destroyed, he no longer had the power to escape. The strange Divine Arts he used could no longer be maintained. Killing him was an effortless task for Ye Tianchen.

”Physical Body Power cannot hit you, Martial Arts Divine Skill cannot stop you, so all that’s left is the power of Divine Thought. Unfortunately, my Divine Thought is not weak either. You’re destined to die!” Ye Tianchen coldly said to the rat-faced person.

”So what if I’m destined to die? The inheritance of my Nine Netherworlds is incredibly powerful, Ye Tianchen, it’s only a matter of time before you’re without a burial place!” The rat-faced person said with great confidence.

Ye Tianchen was momentarily stunned, then looked seriously at the rat-faced person and said, ”There is still a way for you to live...”

”What way?”

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, this rat-faced man from the Nine Netherworld was naturally somewhat moved. In this cruel and bloody Martial Arts World, death to these Martial Artists was already all too familiar and not considered a fearful matter anymore. However, if they could live longer, who would choose death? So, this rat-faced man still wanted to live.

”I’m very interested in learning about the Nine Netherworlds. If you’re willing to answer some of my questions, I’ll let you go!” Ye Tianchen said to the man.

”Hmph, what a joke! The inheritance of our Nine Netherworlds is incredibly powerful. If you think you can learn the secrets of the Nine Netherworlds, you’re delusional. I won’t tell you!” The rat-faced man snorted coldly.

”That’s a shame. In terms of your Cultivation Battle Power, you’re just a very peripheral member of the Nine Netherworlds. You can’t possibly know any core secrets. Moreover, a person like you, even if a thousand of you die, no one would come to save you, and no one would even feel sad for you. Why bother?” Ye Tianchen said to the rat-faced man.

”You... No matter what you say, I will not tell you anything about the Nine Netherworlds!” The rat-faced man said fiercely.

Ye Tianchen shook his head, raised his right palm, and slowly activated a powerful Martial Arts True Power, pressing down towards the rat-faced person, intending to end his life.

At this moment, the inner heart of the rat-faced man was already somewhat swayed by Ye Tianchen’s words. Ye Tianchen was right. Given his position, he was just a peripheral person, like an outer disciple of some Cultivation Major Sect, not given any importance at all. This time, the Nine Netherworlds sent him to capture Ye Tianchen’s soul because, long before, a master from the Nine Netherworlds had secretly planted this secret technique on Ye Tianchen. It only required sending one person, without needing strong cultivation, to activate this secret technique and capture Ye Tianchen’s soul. This was the confidence of the Nine Netherworlds in their secret technique, as well as their underestimation of Ye Tianchen, thinking that their secret technique passed down from ancient times was so effective that hardly anyone could break free, yet unexpectedly, Ye Tianchen found a way to break it.

”Don’t... I... I can listen to what your questions are...” Ultimately, this rat-faced man was still somewhat afraid of death, and it was Ye Tianchen who grasped his thoughts, causing him to have the idea of betraying Nine Netherworlds.

Ye Tianchen nodded slightly, without saying much more, and directly asked, ”How powerful is the inheritance of the Nine Netherworlds?”

The rat-faced man thought for a moment and replied, ”I honestly don’t know. All I can tell you is that the inheritance of the Nine Netherworlds is extremely terrifying. No one can clarify how powerful it is. Since ancient times, the Nine Netherworlds have risen to power, imprisoning too many strong beings’ bodies and souls. The influence of the Nine Netherworlds is spread throughout the entire Martial Arts World. For instance, on Earth, the current branch of the Nine Netherworlds is just a fragment and no longer possesses its former strength. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have survived until now.”

”The second question. As for Earth, where is the base of the Nine Netherworlds’ inheritance located?” Ye Tianchen did not analyze immediately but continued asking.

”It’s not among the three Ancient Martial Worlds. As for where on Earth, I do not know. As you said, I’m a very peripheral member, so what I know is extremely limited!” The rat-faced man spoke as if he was not deceiving Ye Tianchen. (To be continued.
