The colossal creature roared overhead, flying over Long Chen and the others' heads and crashing hard into the ground, carving a huge crater in the earth.
Only then did Long Chen see a giant tiger covered in black cloud-like markings, stretching a thousand li long, like a mountain, exuding a terrifying aura.
Its head collapsed, as if smashed by something. It fell to the ground and struggled painfully a few times, then died just like that.
"The Youyun Dark Tiger clan?"
Leng Yueyan was shocked. The Youyun Dark Tiger clan was a very famous race in the Underworld, a vast group spread across various realms.
The Nether Cloud Dark Tiger is one of the top ten powers of the Nether Beast Clan, possessing supreme authority. No one dares challenge them, as that would lead to the pursuit of billions of clans. Anyone who has provoked the Nether Cloud Dark Tiger clan in the past has basically been wiped out. They are extremely domineering and protective.
Ming Cangyue had thought it was just an ordinary contest between Nether Beasts, but she hadn't expected that one side would be the famous Youyun Dark Tiger. The matter was probably not as simple as she had imagined.
Long Chen reached out and tossed the Nether Cloud Dark Tiger into the chaotic space, then cautiously approached with the others. When they climbed a high mountain, Long Chen witnessed a terrifying scene.
Countless humanoid beings with wings on their backs were fiercely battling the Youyun Dark Tiger clan. Their corpses spread for billions of miles. These humanoid beings were enormous, even bigger than the Youyun Dark Tiger. Wielding enormous clubs, each strike shattered the void, shattering the void and causing the Youyun Dark Tiger to break bones and break tendons, roaring in fury.
In the core area, the giants with wings on their backs clearly held the upper hand, besieging a group of Youyun Dark Tigers. The Youyun Dark Tiger clan was clearly weaker and couldn't withstand the giants, being killed continuously. It seemed the battle was nearing its end.
"The Nether Blood Giant Clan has actually started a battle with the Youyun Dark Tiger?" And judging by the situation, they were determined to wipe them out completely. Could it be that the Netherworld War has started again? Ming Cangyue looked at the battlefield, her face full of shock.
"What Netherworld War?" Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
"You may not know, but you've only heard of the Netherworld, but you don't know that although there are billions of races in the Underworld, at its core, there are two factions: the Nether Clan and the Nether Clan.
The two have different bloodlines, and for countless years, they have been hostile to each other. Historically, countless netherworld wars have occurred.
But in the end, neither side can defeat the other. After a major blow, they rest and recover, and when their strength grows, war breaks out again, endlessly enjoying it.
The conflict between the two sides was almost impossible to resolve; either they didn't act, or if they did, it would be a war of annihilation of the entire clan, leaving no survivors.
No matter who attacked whom, they would kill all enemies and show no mercy. Ming Cangyue explained.
Only then did Long Chen understand that in the Underworld, the Netherworld actually had such an explanation.
"But we don't need to worry. Whether it's the You Clan or the Nether Clan, neither has direct conflict with us.
Our Divine Clan has no conflict of interest with them. As long as we don't get involved in their disputes, they won't make things difficult for us. "Ming Cangyue felt much more relaxed at this moment.
"Hehe, alright, once they're gone, I'll clean up the battlefield." Long Chen chuckled. He was surprised to find such a good opportunity—his luck had finally turned.
Now that he had advanced to the twelfth level of the Four Extremes Realm, he was about to enter the Divine Lord Realm. Once he reached the Divine Lord Realm, he could unlock the Purple Que Star. With these corpses, he should be able to advance the Demon-Eyed Water Lily to the fourth rank, which would allow him to refine the Purple Que Pill.
Just thinking about activating the Seven-Star Battle Body made Long Chen's heart burn even more. The Six-Star Battle Body followed him from the mortal realm all the way to the immortal realm, and although he remained sharp there,
However, Long Chen clearly felt that the power the six-star battle body could empower him was gradually diminishing. The main reason the six-star battle body remained so sharp was the growth of the 108,000 stars.
The current six-star battle body has risen because it has ignited divine fire and is empowered by the Dragon Blood Battle Body, not because the ship itself has grown larger.
But Long Chen believed that once the Seven-Star Battle Body was activated, the small ship would swell into a giant vessel, soaring freely through the sea of stars made up of 108,000 stars. At that point, his wings would truly be strong.
Of course, Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue didn't object. Watching the spectacle was fine. Since no cities had been built nearby, it meant there were no other gods nearby; otherwise, they would have already cooperated with the Youyun Dark Tiger clan.
After all, with the Dark Tiger clan supporting them, ordinary people wouldn't dare to scheme against them. This meant that no other gods had discovered this place, which was a tremendous blessing for them.
A furious roar shook the air ahead. Long Chen stood here quietly watching, staring at the corpses stretching beyond sight, almost drooling.
As for the Underworld, apart from Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, Long Chen had little fondness for it, because the Underworld had once invaded the Immortal Realm and was its enemy. Moreover, in the Tianhong Domain, when someone from the Underworld came out to compete with Long Chen for the Rainbow Flame, Long Chen was convinced there wasn't much good in the Underworld.
However, Long Chen had asked Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue how beings from the underworld could enter the Immortal Realm.
Their answer was that it had to be at the border between the Underworld and the Immortal Realm, where spatial power was weak, to open a temporary passage. However, the passage also required massive resources and had to be backed by a Realm King-level powerhouse.
Moreover, the constructed passage is extremely unstable; only low-level cultivators can pass through, which greatly limits cultivation level. Those with great strength cannot pass through such a small passage; otherwise, the passage will collapse and everyone inside would be swept into spatial turbulence.
Originally, Long Chen thought the two could use the Netherworld Passage to pull him through a backdoor and send him back to the Immortal Realm, but it turned out that method didn't work at all.
In this case, if Long Chen wants to return to the Immortal Realm, he'll probably have to go back into the spatial turbulence again. But the exit of the spatial turbulence is not fixed. If Long Chen stays in the turbulence for hundreds of years without encountering any spatial collapse, then he's doomed.
So Long Chen never thought of any solution, but when that mysterious broken sword appeared, he felt there was hope—though he hadn't figured out how to use it yet.
Moreover, deep down, Long Chen couldn't bear to part with the two of them. Because they depended on each other in the underworld and faced various threats, Long Chen couldn't let go, so he could only wait and see.
An hour later, the great battle ended. The Youyun Dark Tigers were all slain. The giants gathered together, seemingly counting the number of people, then prepared to leave with the corpses of their clansmen.
But after they soared into the sky, a giant spotted Long Chen and the others. At first, he only glanced at them and didn't think much of it. Suddenly, the creature took a closer look at Long Chen, pointed at him, and shouted. Immediately, all the giants rushed over and surrounded them.
