After Lü Dandan declared the Dark Realm's war on the Netherworld, a vast army from the Dark Realm poured into the Netherworld like an endless tide from the outside.
"Your Majesty, give the order. We will sweep the Netherworld clean today!"
A tall being shrouded in gray mist arrived at Lü Dandan's side and spoke in a reverent voice.
"This creature's strength seems even greater than Miss Lü's, yet he appears extremely respectful towards her. It seems Miss Lü must have some means to make the Dark Realm's army submit to her," Ye Yunfei thought to himself with surprise after a sweeping glance at the tall Dark Realm creature.
"Dark Queen, do you truly wish to provoke a war between the Dark Realm and our Netherworld? You should think clearly. If a full-scale war truly erupts, regardless of who wins or loses this battle, your Dark Realm will have to answer to the Great Netherworld hereafter!"
The icy voice from within the Netherworld echoed once more, stirring up a great number of black Yin Lightning that rumbled and exploded.
"Heh heh… Is the Great Netherworld so impressive? The Great Netherworld holds no intimidation for our Dark Realm," the tall being shrouded in gray mist sneered disdainfully.
"I think… it's possible there's also some great power backing the Dark Realm across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Hun Lao suddenly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei after hearing the tall being's words.
"Yes, I've suddenly developed the same feeling," Ye Yunfei nodded.
The Great Netherworld was undoubtedly an extremely terrifying superpower from the outside, yet this Dark Realm creature seemed completely unafraid of it. If it wasn't ignorance, then it was highly likely the Dark Realm also had some major power backing it.
"Enough idle talk. Begin," Lü Dandan commanded, standing high in the air atop a black phoenix whose gently beating wings unleashed torrential energy, her presence overwhelming.
"Her Majesty the Queen has given the order. Move out!" the tall Dark Realm creature bellowed, channeling his energy to amplify his voice.
Kill!
The Dark Realm army roared in unison, then surged forward like a tidal wave.
The number of troops the Dark Realm had mobilized this time was enormous, like vast oceans separately charging towards different regions within the Netherworld.
"Very well, Dark Realm. Our Netherworld will remember today's events!" The icy voice from the depths of the Netherworld grew furious.
In the next moment, large armies of the Netherworld emerged from various regions within the realm, beginning to clash with the Dark Realm forces.
In fact, the energy and laws cultivated by members of both the Dark Realm and the Netherworld belonged to the Yin and darkness categories, and were quite similar.
Now that the armies of these two great powers were locked in combat, the battlefield was filled with wailing winds and miserable rain, mists of various colors and rolling waves of death energy. Numerous black Yin illusionary phantoms, fierce ghosts and malicious spirits, and hordes of zombies clashed with one another, creating a profoundly eerie spectacle.
Many unique magical beasts native to the Netherworld also appeared on the battlefield, unleashing astonishing combat prowess.
Of course, the Dark Realm's army also contained numerous bizarre and eerie creatures.
Among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, both the Netherworld and the Dark Realm were bizarre realms inhabited by all sorts of strange beings.
"Heh heh… I love this kind of scene the most!"
Huang Shang suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei and couldn't help but chuckle as he watched the fiercely raging battle in the distance. His voice sounded sinister.
"Huang Lao, you've set your sights on those ghosts, haven't you," Ye Yunfei said, understanding Huang Shang's thoughts the moment he heard him.
"That's right. The ghosts of the Netherworld are highly nourishing for me. Since I've come, I can't possibly miss out." Huang Shang stared at the various fierce ghosts and malicious spirits fighting intensely on the distant battlefield, his eyes gleaming, almost drooling.
"I'm going to make my move. I should take this chance to feed and replenish properly. It should allow my strength to increase significantly," Huang Shang said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright then. But be careful. The Netherworld conceals quite a few experts with formidable strength. These experts are likely to have come from the Great Netherworld. You probably still aren't a match for them yet. If you encounter danger, send me a voice transmission immediately. Absolutely do not try to be heroic," Ye Yunfei nodded and warned him.
"Understood," Huang Shang replied. Then he transformed into a faint, barely perceptible ghostly shadow and charged directly into the distance.
"Lord of the Netherworld, come out! I challenge you to a duel!"
Lü Dandan stood within that black phoenix, charging towards the depths of the Netherworld at astonishing speed, her voice high and clear.
Before coming, Lü Dandan had already conducted detailed investigations. She knew that the highest authority in the Netherworld was its Lord, and that the Netherworld's Lord was a locally-born expert of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds who had been guarding the Netherworld for a very long time.
Therefore, the opponent Lü Dandan had chosen for herself for this venture into the Netherworld was precisely the Lord!
"Hmph! An ignorant little girl with no regard for your own life. Since you dare challenge me, I shall oblige you and let you know the might of our Netherworld."
A voice brimming with authority rang out. Then, a middle-aged man emerged, striding step by step from the depths of the Netherworld. This middle-aged man wore regal robes befitting an emperor, with a ceremonial headpiece with hanging beads adorning his head, resembling an emperor from the mortal world.
Only, this emperor was enveloped by a thick layer of death energy, and visible strands of Death Law wound around the space surrounding his body.
Phantoms of resentful souls also trailed behind him as if serving as his imperial guard.
Several hundred tall ghosts bearing various banners and flags marched behind this emperor, presenting an extremely grand spectacle.
This middle-aged man was precisely the Lord of the Netherworld!
"Cut the act in front of me! Come here and accept your death!" Lü Dandan said in an icy voice. Then, she merged into that black phoenix, which soared high into the sky before diving down in a fierce attack upon the middle-aged man.
Boom!
A red coffin manifested beneath the middle-aged man's feet, lifting him into the air. This red coffin continuously expanded in size, emanating terrifying death energy and Death Law. It was immeasurably heavy, causing the surrounding space to creak and shatter incessantly.
Boom!
The black phoenix extended a pair of gigantic talons, colliding violently with the red coffin. The combat energy unleashed by the attacks of both sides was truly terrifying, directly forcing a great swathe of surrounding creatures to retreat continuously.
"Impressive!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but nod after watching the battle between Lü Dandan and the middle-aged man.
The combat prowess displayed by both sides was quite remarkable!
At this moment, the battle between the Dark Realm and Netherworld armies grew increasingly fierce. Almost the entire realm was transformed into a battlefield.
"It seems the Netherworld's strength is still greater overall." Ye Yunfei's discerning eyes quickly saw that the Netherworld's overall strength surpassed the Dark Realm's. If the war continued like this, the final outcome should be the Netherworld's victory.
Of course, that assumed Ye Yunfei did not intervene. With Ye Yunfei's current strength, even without the assistance of the Dark Realm's army, he was already more than capable of taking on the Netherworld alone!
"Quick! Notify the Netherworld! Have the Netherworld dispatch an army to join the battle!" a high-ranking member within the depths of the Netherworld shouted loudly.
