Chapter 50

Three figures landed beside the stream. They took out their water pouches and filled them with water. Even the most powerful cultivators need to drink water.

Lin Feng was hiding in a large tree and observed the three people at this moment.

These were three middle-aged cultivators, all carrying long swords, seemingly like the legendary sword immortals.

One of them said, "This time, the Blood Demon Emperor and the Flame Demon King have grand ambitions. They want to awaken the last remnant soul of the Netherworld Emperor that still exists in the human world, and then create an ultimate demonic body for the Netherworld Emperor. The Netherworld Emperor is one of the seventy-two Demon Emperors from the Middle Ancient Era, with overwhelming demonic power. If the Netherworld Emperor were to be resurrected, it would definitely cause a great calamity."

"Currently, the city lord of Tian Sheng City, Murong Cangkong, is personally restraining the Netherworld Emperor, while the city lord of Riyue City, Liu Zihua, is holding back the Flame Demon King, preventing these two great powers from coming to preside over the resurrection ceremony of the Netherworld Emperor. Now, the one presiding over the resurrection ceremony of the Netherworld Emperor is the Blood Demon Emperor's eldest disciple, the Nine-Headed Asura. We must stop the Nine-Headed Asura."

"There's no time to waste, let's set off quickly."

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

As the words fell, the three figures shot into the sky and quickly disappeared.

"Resurrect the Netherworld Emperor?" Lin Feng's face was full of shock.

The *Classic of Mountains and Seas* had records of the Middle Ancient Era, when demons and monsters wreaked havoc, sweeping across the entire Tianwu Continent.

This great calamity caused widespread destruction, with countless human forces being annihilated, and demons and monsters almost occupying the entire Tianwu Continent.

On the demon side, there were seventy-two Demon Emperors, one of whom was the Netherworld Emperor, a terrifying figure who ranked third among the seventy-two Demon Emperors.

At that time, the human race was on the brink of extinction.

At a critical moment, eight human powerhouses emerged, leading the human race to launch a counterattack and defeat the demons and monsters.

These eight human ancestors were revered as the "Eight Heroes of the Middle Ancient Era."

Tens of thousands of years have passed, and the strong figures of the Middle Ancient Era have long since fallen, but the demon race still possesses some extremely terrifying secret techniques that can revive dead powerhouses.

If a figure as heaven-defying as the Netherworld Emperor were to be resurrected, it would definitely be catastrophic.

"Let's go, I'll also go deeper to take a look."

Lin Feng jumped down from the tree and headed deeper into the underground world.

Ten days later, Lin Feng arrived in front of an ancient city.

This ancient city was extremely vast, like a primordial beast lying on the ground, heavy and oppressive.

Around the ancient city, demons and monsters patrolled densely.

Like blood-sucking bats, flying asuras, and immortal night forks, and so on.

The entire ancient city was guarded so tightly that not even a drop of water could pass through.

In the mountains, many cultivators were also lying in wait.

"Indeed, this is the place, the lair of the demons. Are these demons going to resurrect the Netherworld Emperor here?" Lin Feng also hid in the mountains, looking at the ancient city.

The atmosphere in the mountains was oppressive, clearly, many powerful forces from Dongjun神州 had come, but these forces were still waiting for an opportunity to attack the city.

At this moment, deep within the ancient city, in a huge mansion, the place was heavily guarded. In a large hall, a tall figure with nine heads stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a painting.

The painting depicted nine men wearing imperial robes.

The nine men in the painting were lifelike, like nine holy emperors, and just one glance made one feel an urge to kneel and worship.

Thump, thump.

Dozens of demons looked at the painting and could not withstand the pressure, kneeling on the ground.

"Sir, what is this painting?" A demon powerhouse standing next to the Nine-Headed Asura asked. This person did not kneel under the pressure of the painting, indicating that his strength was also quite terrifying.

"This is the Ancient Nine Emperors' Map." The Nine-Headed Asura said.

"Ah? The Ancient Nine Emperors' Map? Is this the treasure, and are the nine figures on it the nine holy emperors of our demon race?" The demon powerhouse asked in shock.

"Yes, they are the nine holy emperors of our demon race from the Ancient Era. It is said that this Nine Emperors' Map contains great secrets, but I have studied it for a long time and have not yet discovered its mysteries. This Nine Emperors' Map disappeared with the Netherworld Emperor in the past. Now that it has reappeared, I will offer it to the Netherworld Emperor after his resurrection."

The Nine-Headed Asura said.

"Why not keep it for yourself, sir?" The demon beside him asked.

The Nine-Headed Asura's expression was uncertain, then he said, "Let's first resurrect the Netherworld Emperor, and then we'll talk about other things. How is the Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array set up?"

"Should be almost done, right?" The demon said.

"Report," at this moment, someone came from outside.

"Come in." The Nine-Headed Asura said.

A thin, old demon walked in, "Sir, the Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array has been set up."

"Very good, I will now preside over the array." The Nine-Headed Asura walked out.

"Sir, should we put away the Nine Emperors' Map?" The demon leader asked.

"Haha, no need. This supreme treasure of the demon path, whoever touches it dies. Even if the city lord of Tian Sheng City, Murong Cangkong, comes, if he dares to touch the Nine Emperors' Map, he will only meet his end. I actually hope that the human powerhouses come to争夺 the Nine Emperors' Map, so that the map can kill these human powerhouses, saving us the trouble."

The Nine-Headed Asura laughed loudly and then transformed into a beam of light, rushing out.

The demons present were all intimidated.

They did not expect the Nine Emperors' Map to have such terrifying killing power.

"Let's go, protect the sir." The demon leader shouted loudly.

A group of powerful demons also rushed out.

In the center of the ancient city, there was a massive altar.

At the center of the altar were nine huge black cauldrons.

Beneath the cauldrons, there was a raging inferno.

The nine cauldrons were arranged in an octagonal pattern, and around the altar, there were ancient arrays densely spread.

This was a heaven-defying array called the "Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array," which was also an extremely vicious array.

Because to activate the Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array, it required the souls of 199,999,999 people as fuel, not one more, not one less.

Therefore, every time the Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array was activated, it caused widespread destruction.

Now, the demons invaded Dongjun神州, massacring countless lives.

It was all for today, to activate the Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array and resurrect the Netherworld Emperor.

The Nine-Headed Asura floated above the nine demonic cauldrons and took out a gourd.

Then, the Nine-Headed Asura opened the gourd.

Dense souls flew out.

"Ah, I died so miserably."

"Why? I don't want to die."

Heart-wrenching cries echoed, with ghostly wails and fierce winds sweeping the heavens and earth.

Even Lin Feng, hiding in the mountains outside the city, heard those mournful cries.

"What is happening in this ancient city?" Lin Feng felt his scalp tingle.

The Nine-Headed Asura poured the dense souls into the nine demonic cauldrons.

"Nine cauldrons burn the souls, reverse the fate, call upon the heavens, and awaken the Netherworld."

Suddenly, the Nine-Headed Asura roared.

"Nine Heavens Soul-Reviving Array, activate."

The Nine-Headed Asura's roar shook the heavens, and the nine demonic cauldrons emitted an incredibly powerful energy, pouring into the surrounding array.

Buzz.

An ancient and mysterious evil array was activated.

Infinite demonic qi surged into the sky, emitting a world-destroying aura.

A deep roar echoed.

"Who? Who is awakening the soul of the Netherworld Emperor, who has been asleep for countless years?" The deep roar echoed through the heavens and earth.

"The Netherworld Emperor, they are really resurrecting the Netherworld Emperor." Lin Feng's face showed a look of horror.
