Chapter 257 Return to the Underworld

Boom!

The roar of huge waves rose and fell, the black waves crashing down like mountains.

Amidst these waves, howling winds and unknown forces crisscrossed, like a meat grinder capable of annihilating cultivators.

Li Lan traversed the sea, stepping on the waves as he unleashed a powerful punch, shattering a massive layer of ocean energy.

"No wonder it's the place where countless powerful figures from different eras have perished..."

Li Lan couldn't help but sigh.

In a sense, this vast ocean was formed by the overflow of the power of that demon god.

Although it was only a portion of the spillover, it was enough to destroy everything for the cultivators in the underworld.

Li Lan's current cultivation level is certainly not that of the strongest in history. Many of the uncorrupted bones floating below the dam are far above him. However, Li Lan has already received the teachings of the evil corpse of the demon god and has the method of combat. In his eyes, every wave of the boundless ocean is like an interpretation of the Wuji Combat Technique.

Therefore, with the advantage of knowing himself and his enemy, he was able to barely cope!

He has been crossing the vast ocean for half a month!

For the past two weeks, every day felt like a life-or-death battle for him. He fought with all his might, treating this journey home as a trial. The flames of myriad paths burned ever brighter, and several times, he almost escaped into the realm of bewilderment.

He's on the verge of a breakthrough!

However, because he was still in the Black Sea, he had no opportunity to break through and had been suppressing himself.

The stronger this suppression, the more powerful his breakthrough will be.

"The external forces have weakened considerably!"

Nearly half a month later, Li Lan finally appeared in the outermost part of the Black Sea. The sea surface here was much calmer, with no more terrifying tsunamis or giant waves. Occasionally there were swells, but their destructive power was far less than that of the deeper parts.

Li Lan took a deep breath and then calmly left, walking swiftly across the sea. In just three days, he had already seen the land of the Origin Realm.

At this moment, on the edge of the sea, a group of people are building a dock, and large quantities of divine gold and precious silver are being hauled in and filled into the foundation.

"I wonder when it will be completed... So many treasures, all buried underground, can they really prove eternity?"

A monk murmured.

"Of course! You should know that the World Alliance is currently building an imperial ship that can cross the Black Sea, so a shipyard that can support the imperial ship's departure is naturally of paramount importance!"

Someone nearby responded, "The Lord of Reincarnation is about to depart. I wonder if we'll have the chance to go together and witness the Empress's attainment of eternity..."

Many workers had longing expressions on their faces!

"Forget it, what kind of person is the Empress? You're not worthy to be her."

Someone nearby scoffed, "Hurry up and get to work—"

The man turned around, but suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, look, what's that on the sea?"

Everyone hurriedly looked over, and saw a beam of light rushing toward the land at an unparalleled speed from the sea, looking like a comet with a trail of flames!

"A creature that emerged from the Black Sea?"

"Impossible! The Black Sea is deathly still. Without a new master of reincarnation arriving, who could possibly set foot there?!"

"That's right, even experts at the top level wouldn't dare to set foot here!"

Everyone stared in disbelief, but the comet drew ever closer. In an instant, it reached the land and then vanished without a trace.

"What happened? Where did it go?"

"Nonsense! If he were truly a master, he could have vanished into the void after leaving the Black Sea!"

"What should we do? Should we report it?"

"It's better to mind your own business than to get involved in other people's affairs!"

The group of workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

And this moment.

Li Lan did indeed vanish into the void. He listened for a long time, his brow furrowing slightly.

What is the World Alliance?

Is the new master of reincarnation and empress that everyone is talking about referring to Lin Ruoxue? It's very possible.

She has already sent people to begin building an imperial ship that can sail on the Black Sea. It seems that she is preparing to use the power of reincarnation to exchange for eternity at the source.

Li Lan left quickly, and soon after, he arrived at the largest city in the eastern part of the Origin Realm—Eternal Immortal City.

The Eternal Immortal City was originally under the jurisdiction of the Creation Alliance and was extremely prominent in the eastern part of the Origin Realm. In just a few months, it has expanded to millions of miles. Along the way, cultivators from all over the world flock to this immortal city!

Li Lan saw many familiar forces, but now these forces all had two small characters embroidered on their front: "All Under Heaven".

He put on a cloak to conceal his presence, then went up to a restaurant to gather the latest news.

"The cycle of reincarnation is almost complete. This month, the new master of reincarnation entered the river of time again, absorbing another wave of resentful souls from bygone eras!"

"Yes, after the establishment of the World Alliance, the Origin Realm is truly thriving. Before long, we will be able to follow the new master of reincarnation and go to the source together to witness eternity."

"In this life, we finally have hope of transcendence!"

Inside the restaurant, many people were sighing and discussing.

After a long time, Li Lan finally managed to roughly figure it out.

Several months ago, after the battle in the Realm of Truth, the Ninth Emperor, the Black Dog, Xia Jingmo and others fled, and the three million Origin Realm Allied Army led by Li Lan suffered heavy casualties.

Li Lan's reincarnation authority was stripped away by Lin Ruoxue, who seized the authority and became the new master!

With Yang Yi's support, Lin Ruoxue commands the world to establish her own "World Alliance".

The courage of all the major alliances in the world was shattered in the battle at the Realm of Truth, and no one dared to resist. Therefore, in just half a month, she had already completed the reorganization. The original Wind and Thunder Alliance, Creation Alliance, and others had all vanished and become part of the World Alliance.

In just a few months, Lin Ruoxue displayed her ruthless methods.

While perfecting the Underworld of Reincarnation, she entered the River of Time multiple times, using countless resentful souls of the past to refine Reincarnation and enhance its power. At the same time, she amassed all kinds of divine gold and precious materials from across the world, built an imperial ship, and prepared to set out on a campaign.

She was ambitious, claiming that everyone in the world could be saved and that she would lead the world to witness eternity.

As the largest city closest to the Black Sea, Eternal Immortal City naturally became the bridgehead to the Black Sea. The eyes of the world were drawn to it, and countless cultivators flocked there. As a result, this ancient and magnificent city had to expand its territory by millions of miles to accommodate them!

"However, I suspect the expedition won't go so smoothly. Have you heard?"

At this moment, someone spoke up: "Half a month ago, a batch of rare materials being transported by the Wind and Thunder Hall was intercepted. I heard it was the remnants of the War Alliance and the Longevity Alliance..."

This statement immediately sparked much discussion in the room:

"Most of the War Alliance and the Longevity Alliance have already converted to the World Alliance, but there is one die-hard who is still waving the banner of the previous reincarnation master, Li Lan, and insists on opposing the World Alliance. He is really courting death!"

"That's right, Li Lan is finished, so why should these people bother?"

"You don't know this, Li Lan is just a decoy. The most important thing is that there are experts behind this group. You know the Black Emperor, right? There's also Xia Jingmo and the Nine-Life Emperor. The three of them together have always wanted to fight against the World Alliance. Although they are no match for the new master of reincarnation in a direct confrontation, it won't be easy for the World Alliance to eliminate them!"

Amidst the discussions, Li Lan was quite gratified.

It's good that the big black dog and the others are still alive!

"Hehe, even so, I don't think these people can keep up this for long..."

At this moment, an old man suddenly said coldly, "This time, the World Alliance has set up an inescapable net. These remnants will either disappear like stray dogs or be completely annihilated!"

Upon hearing this, many people in the restaurant were tempted.

"Does the senior know anything?"

Is the World Alliance planning something big?

Everyone pressed for more information.

The old man stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Very well, this matter will be announced in the next couple of days. It's not a secret, so there's no harm in telling you."

"The World Alliance will soon hold a Corpse Slaughtering Ceremony on Mount Hengdao to slaughter the corpse of the former Lord of Reincarnation, Li Lan. In addition, Li Lan's relatives, including Bai Ruoling, Jin Muyun, Li Yue, and Zhu Xianchou from the Immortal Realm, will also be beheaded on the same day!"

These words surprised everyone present.

Even Li Lan, who was in the corner, couldn't help but raise his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them!

……

He released four chapters straight away. Isn't that amazing?
