The Nether King, accompanied by two powerful elders, Serpent Musk Granny and the Undying Emperor, confronts Supreme Nine Suns. The Nether King seeks revenge for Supreme Nine Suns occupying his territory and intends to transform the world into his vision of 'Nether Soil.' Serpent Musk Granny and the Undying Emperor have allied with the Nether King for personal gain: the former seeks her grandmother's lost inheritance, while the latter desires help in recasting his third lifetime. Supreme Nine Suns prepares to defend himself against the combined might of his enemies.

After all, numerous entities observe Hell, including the Ghost Tribe.

Establishing a new race is by no means a simple undertaking.

Ensuring the continuation of a race necessitates the provision of all fundamental necessities.

Consequently, during this critical period, the Nether King and his dominion must exhibit ferocity akin to cornered beasts.

Any who dare to provoke them shall invariably meet their doom.

Only through such resolute deterrence will the common folk refrain from provoking the Nether Tribe, thereby granting them ample opportunity and space to flourish.

Conversely, any sign of retreat would embolden others to encroach upon their territory.

It is much like facing a pack of wolves; if a single wolf advances, it must be vanquished.

Should you falter and retreat even half a step, the entire pack might descend upon you in the next moment, tearing you to shreds.

Thus, Supreme Nine Suns is truly unfortunate.

What began as a territorial disagreement has escalated into this dire confrontation.

"Destroy them!" bellowed the Nether King.

Like a clap of thunder, a torrent of dark energy erupted from his being in the ensuing moment.

This shadowy aura coalesced into a colossal hand, which descended with crushing force towards the forest.

Supreme Nine Suns' countenance shifted dramatically.

He uttered softly, "Nether King, if a battle is what you seek, take it to the heavens. Why involve this forest?"

"The Heavenly Dao upholds all beings; why inflict such wanton destruction?"

To Supreme Nine Suns' earnest plea, the Nether King responded with frigid disdain, "Nine Suns, I shall ensure you witness the obliteration of every tree you painstakingly nurtured.

And in the midst of your desperate struggle, you will be the one to bring about their destruction."

"Witnessing the ruin of cherished possessions is the spectacle that brings me the greatest satisfaction."

The Nether King's gargantuan hand had already made its descent.

Numerous trees splintered and were ripped from the earth.

Supreme Nine Suns glared with eyes blazing with fury, raising his own hand.

Boundless sunlight radiated a crimson glow.

This scarlet luminescence bathed the world, carrying a burning sun that blazed across the sky, hurtling towards the Nether King.

At this critical juncture, the Nether King's dark aura hand seemed to unleash a terrifying roar.

The immense hand seized the radiant sun.

With a deafening 'boom'.

Amidst an explosive cataclysm, the dark aura hand disintegrated, yet the blazing sun's momentum surged with even greater intensity.

However, in the following instant, the Nether King extended his hand and clenched it into a fist.

His fist, imbued with immense power, pulverized the sun into fragments.

At this precise moment, Supreme Nine Suns ascended into the heavens.

Around him, nine brilliant suns ignited, mirroring the vast firmament.

"Boom, boom."

Each incandescent sun emanated a destructive force capable of annihilating both Heaven and Earth.

Without any preliminary probing, Supreme Nine Suns unleashed his assault like a ferocious tempest.

When powerhouses clash, the engagement is direct and unyielding.

A single misstep can lead to utter subjugation by the adversary.

"Nine Suns' Fire!"

Supreme Nine Suns tilted his head upwards, and from within the nine orbs of light, each exploded with breathtaking power.

From their fiery cores, infernos capable of annihilating all existence erupted.

At the unified center, nine distinct flames commenced their convergence into a singular, colossal blaze.

Transforming into an even more majestic and expansive torrent of flame, it surged towards the Nether King.

The Nether King's brow furrowed slightly.

He addressed the two individuals accompanying him, "The both of you, attack in unison, lest we meet an unfortunate end."

The Nether King rapidly executed hand seals.

A beam of intense violet light shot forth from his body.

"Netherworld Gate."

The Nether King positioned himself at the vanguard, utilizing the aperture of the Netherworld Gate. This technique sealed all, even momentarily halting the Nine Suns' Fire.

"Break!" Supreme Nine Suns bellowed.

His potent force surged outwards in conjunction with his command.

The Nine Suns' Fire intensified its burn, directly shattering the Netherworld Gate.

"Allow me," Serpent Musk Granny stepped forward resolutely.

She twirled her serpentine staff, and a colossal Ancient Serpent materialized, roaring to life.

The Ancient Serpent opened its cavernous maw, seemingly poised to engulf the Nine Suns' Fire.

Its abdomen appeared to contain a peculiar vortex; as it consumed the Nine Suns' Fire, the Ancient Serpent began to gradually dissipate.

Nonetheless, it successfully devoured the Nine Suns' Fire.

Ultimately, just as its final remnants were completely incinerated by the Nine Suns' Fire, it simultaneously consumed the flames entirely.

This can be considered a mutual annihilation.

Meanwhile, the Undying Emperor initiated his own assault.

Despite his aged appearance, his movements were astonishingly swift.

In a mere instant, he materialized behind Supreme Nine Suns.

"Roar..."

With a ferocious growl, the Undying Emperor opened his mouth, expelling a noxious black mist.

This wasn't mere poison; even Supreme Nine Suns regarded it with trepidation, daring not to make contact.

Otherwise, even the Nine Suns' Fire would prove ineffective against it.

Although Supreme Nine Suns managed to narrowly evade the poisonous mist, the toxic vapor emanating from the Undying Emperor's mouth accumulated relentlessly.

Eventually, it coalesced into a swirling tornado.

Wherever its path led, not a single blade of grass remained, and all vibrant flora withered into dust.

"You court death!" Supreme Nine Suns roared furiously.

At this juncture, he ascended once more into the sky.

Mountains, rivers, and the Big Dipper stars manifested within his body, complementing the nine suns that encircled him.

He comprehended and cultivated the profound Power of Heaven and Earth.

Wasn't the expanse between Heaven and Earth vast enough to contain not just the sun, but also mountains, rivers, all living beings, and the Big Dipper stars?

Though Supreme Nine Suns could not yet fully master it, this power was undeniably immense.

As a myriad of visions materialized, either shimmering behind Supreme Nine Suns or emerging beneath his very feet.

Supreme Nine Suns' might continued to escalate.

His fist struck the Undying Emperor's face with decisive force, instantly obliterating his opponent's head.

Despite the catastrophic blow, the Undying Emperor remained sentient, his form rapidly retreating to establish a safe distance from Supreme Nine Suns.

He commenced regenerating his head, swiftly restoring it to its original state.

"A truly formidable Great Dao," the Undying Emperor could not refrain from exclaiming.

"It is said that you, Supreme Nine Suns, forged a novel Cultivation System, and it has unexpectedly reached such a pinnacle."

"What a profound shame. If you do not meet your demise today, a monumental future awaits you."

"Enough idle chatter. My fate, be it life or death, will be decided by Heaven and Earth alone," Supreme Nine Suns responded with icy resolve.

Beside him, the Nether King's countenance contorted with intense jealousy.

His own path bore striking resemblances to Supreme Nine Suns, having also pioneered his own Cultivation System, albeit with greater ferocity.

His ambition was to create a new race.

However, his Cultivation System had recently encountered a significant bottleneck, halting his progress for an extended period.

Observing Supreme Nine Suns, he saw a cultivator progressing without hindrance.

With a ferocious roar, he commanded, "Capture him! Force his Dao upon us. Perhaps it can nourish my Great Dao, propelling me to greater heights."

"Underworld!"

At this precise moment, coinciding with the Nether King's enraged bellow.

Originating from his core, the surrounding Space began to warp and distort.

It was as if Hell itself had descended, the Underworld poised to obliterate all in its path.

A sanguine world enveloped everything; a Blood Moon and a Blood Sun hung concurrently in the sky, as vengeful spirits clawed their way from the very ground.

"Within the Underworld, I am absolute!"

The Nether King gestured forward, unleashing the entirety of his forces. They surged forth, transforming into a fearsome torrent aimed directly at Supreme Nine Suns.

Meanwhile, Serpent Musk Granny consumed her snake-shaped cane, morphing into a colossal python.
