Chapter 1218: The Fearsome White Impermanence Xuantian Emperor City. The events outside the Ancestor Temple had ended, but the number of deaths in that battle was immense. Even the strong cultivators of the Great Venerate Realm numbered seven! Among them, a few were even beyond the Great Venerate Realm, but due to the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, they could only exhibit Great Venerate Realm strength. The death of so many powerful individuals naturally drew the attention of the Netherworld Guides. Of course, the Half-Yin World wouldn’t descend. The Netherworld Guides would directly take away the souls of these deceased. Without causing any disturbance. In fact, many consider the Netherworld Guides to be an extremely mysterious force. They seldom appear before others. Occurrences like that of the Emperor Immortal Sect causing the descent of the Half-Yin World are rare. The Netherworld Guides waited for nightfall and silently arrived outside the Ancestor Temple in Xuantian Emperor City to collect the souls of the war victims. It should be noted that souls differ from the Three Souls and Seven Spirits. Such souls can only be seen by people from the Netherworld and the Underworld. Unless someone uses great means to crush them, the souls would exist for seven days; if not guided by someone from the Netherworld, they would dissipate. The role of the Netherworld Guides is to provide guidance. Unfortunately, since the Underworld established itself, the role of the Netherworld Guides has changed. Two Netherworld Guides, modeled after the Black and White Impermanence, descended here, holding the Soul Hook. "Who would have thought so many powerful beings would die..." The two Netherworld Guides looked at the spirits floating outside the Ancestor Temple in amazement. In death, these souls were in a state of confusion and had lost the memories of their former lives. Upon sensing the presence of the Netherworld Guides, the souls drifted toward them. The two Netherworld Guides were already used to this. The Netherworld Guides possess a certain trait that attracts souls to them. This is their advantage. However, the next moment, their eyes narrowed. They saw that the souls stopped three meters away, seemingly blocked by an invisible wall, unable to come closer. "Who dares interfere in the affairs of my Underworld?" The two Netherworld Guides shouted in a low voice, warily scanning their surroundings. They had many means to deal with the dead, but they weren’t particularly strong against the living. Even a powerful being of the Saint Realm could pose a threat to them. In the Underworld, only a strong Judge-level figure could contend against such entities. The source of thɪs content is novel※fire.net They were never meant for combat. But at that moment, they felt a terrifying force. The two Netherworld Guides instinctively turned to look toward a certain place in the Inner City. There, a terrifying aura, as deep as an abyss and a prison, descended. While others might not feel this aura, they shivered from the depth of their souls. The two of them cried out in shock. "Aren’t the people of the Netherworld supposed to never set foot in the mortal world?!" Panicking completely, the two immediately tried to flee. However, they disappeared into thin air not even ten meters out. At the same time, Netherworld Guides from all directions turned their gaze toward Xuantian Emperor City, beginning their approach in aid. The Netherworld Guides had a special connection, allowing them to sense the safety of their companions. The two had died in Xuantian Emperor City, and nearby Netherworld Guides felt the power within. Almost simultaneously, a thousand Netherworld Guides rushed to Xuantian Emperor City. The Director of the Imperial Observatory, previously frightened by Ye Xuan, sat high up, staring in the direction of the Ancestor Temple, sighing continually: "Oh, who would have thought in my life, I’d have moments so disgraceful." "To comment so shamelessly on such an existence, it’s embarrassing, truly embarrassing..." However, at this moment, the Director sat up suddenly, eyes wide, looking toward a certain place in the Inner City, exclaiming: "People from the Netherworld?!" This ageless Director blew his beard and glared, muttering, "If your Netherworld and Underworld battle, don’t choose the first battlefield in my Xuantian Ancient Country’s Emperor City!!" "What if my Emperor City turns into a ghost city?!" The Director was about to cry. Encountering the monstrous Ye Xuan in the daytime was already enough, but now, these two mighty forces appeared at night. The conflict between these two mighty forces spans the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. He never anticipated their first significant battle would be stationed in Xuantian Emperor City! Now the Director truly wanted to curse. With the fall of two Netherworld Guides, Netherworld Guides continued to arrive from all directions. This time, they did not hide, coming in great numbers. Every cultivator in Xuantian Emperor City felt the descent of this chilling aura. Outside the Ancestor Temple, the souls tried to rush toward the Netherworld Guides, but the invisible force kept them circling in place. More and more Netherworld Guides arrived, all eyes on those souls. "What’s going on? Are these souls restrained by some force?" "It shouldn’t be, besides our Underworld, who else can control souls?" "There are others, but they shouldn’t appear in the mortal world." "Are you saying... the Netherworld?!" For a moment, all the Netherworld Guides were in heated discussion, their expressions turning solemn. An incredibly powerful aura appeared out of nowhere from a place in the Inner City. Simultaneously, it was as if a Ghost Realm appeared out of thin air. At the center of this Ghost Realm stood a tall, slender man wearing a tall hat inscribed with ’Prosperity Upon Sight.’ This man was clad in a white robe, with a long tongue and a slight smile on his face. Standing in the void, he seemed to become the center of the world. All eyes focused on this person. All the Netherworld Guides felt fearful at this moment. Especially those dressed in white robes, felt the apprehension of imposters upon encountering the genuine one. This man was none other than White Impermanence Xie Bi’an. White Impermanence Xie Bi’an smiled, glanced at the Netherworld Guides, said nothing, didn’t even move. But soon, they saw rows of Netherworld Guides falling from above, disappearing upon hitting the ground. However, the Netherworld Guides modeled after Black Impermanence did not suffer such fate. But seeing their companions continuously perishing, they were entirely panic-stricken. "Quick, summon the Judges, summon the Judges!" Some Netherworld Guides cried out. Meanwhile, from the north of Xuantian Emperor City, a terrifying aura rapidly approached.
