The Nether King's World-Slaying Blade struck King Wanfa's left shoulder.

An extremely dazzling black-purple light flashed across the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade.

King Wanfa looked toward Chen Hao, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"Whoosh," the sound of the wind roared once again.

"Aah!" Chen Hao clenched his teeth and let out a loud scream to the heavens as the black Nether King's World-Slaying Blade finally broke through King Wanfa's tough skin, sinking several inches into his body. The three streaks of Nether King's Power on the blade entered King Wanfa's body through the wound, then tore open his upper body.

A crack spread from King Wanfa's left shoulder all the way to his right rib.

Immediately after, countless golden rays of Wanfa's Power gushed out from the crack, exploding outwards, engulfing Chen Hao, the Dark Law King, and the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade in the golden light.

"No, Chen Hao!" Ye Yuqiao collapsed to the ground at this moment, her face streaming with tears.

Not far behind her, Zhao Chong had already smashed numerous dark globes, thrusting the Blood Jade Sword in his hand toward the chest of the Dark Law King. The Dark Law King, in turn, summoned shadows to rise from the ground, forming a body of darkness to block the Blood Jade Sword and becoming locked in a stalemate with Zhao Chong.

As both King Wanfa and Chen Hao were engulfed in the golden light, the two of them were stunned.

It was only after a long while that the Dark Law King said, "Chen Hao is dead!"

Zhao Chong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and squinting his eyes, he said, "King Wanfa is dead, too!"

The Dark Law King snorted angrily, clearly unwilling to accept this fact. To exchange Chen Hao for King Wanfa's life was obviously a loss for their side.

Zhao Chong didn't see it that way; to him, exchanging Chen Hao for King Wanfa was a huge loss. Firstly, he thought about how both Ye Yuqiao and the woman in the Purgatory Fire Pool would be utterly heartbroken; secondly, Chen Hao was the only hope for defeating the Ghost King.

Under the gaze of the two, after a long while, the golden light that shone between heaven and earth finally faded.

The only things left on the ground were the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade and a heart pulsing with immense energy. This heart, flickering with black-purple light, was the Nether King's Heart that had been sealed within Chen Hao's left eye. Its exposure meant that Chen Hao had truly perished, body and soul.

Just like Chen Hao, King Wanfa had also completely dissipated, body and soul.

Looking at the Nether King's Heart, the Dark Law King's eyes sparkled with avarice and he sighed, "So this heart is the enchanted power from that kid Chen Hao's left eye! It still has unbroken seals on it, Chen Hao hadn't released its full power!"

After saying this, the Dark Law King chuckled with satisfaction, saying, "It seems we didn't lose out, exchanging lives with King Wanfa and Chen Hao is quite the gain. If Chen Hao hadn't died, and he had managed to completely unseal this heart's power, he might have become a match for even the Ghost King."

At this moment, the Dark Law King's face showed no sorrow for King Wanfa's death.

Zhao Chong looked at the Dark Law King with disdain and then infused even more power into his Blood Jade Sword.

The Dark Law King smiled and showed no sign of weakness.

"Chen Hao! No!" Ye Yuqiao buried her head on the ground, weeping bitterly.

"Nether King!" Ma Mian's deep voice suddenly resounded in Ye Yuqiao's ears.

Ye Yuqiao lifted her head to look at Ma Mian and Niu Tou, her hollow eyes filled with despair.

"Nether King, perhaps we have a way to save Chen Hao," Ma Mian said.

Finally, a light returned to Ye Yuqiao's dim eyes, and she suddenly stood up, excitedly saying, "Really? Then save him quickly."

Ma Mian looked toward Niu Tou, who nodded slightly, then took out a pearl-like Primordial Soul from his right chest and handed it to Ye Yuqiao.

"This is my clone's Primordial Soul, which allows me to continuously split into clones," Niu Tou explained. "With this split Primordial Soul, we should be able to resurrect Chen Hao's Yin Soul."

Ye Yuqiao didn't hesitate to take the split soul shard from Ma Mian's hands. Although she knew that without this shard, Ma Mian would be unable to split his spirit, all she could think about at that moment was saving Chen Hao.

Just then, Niu Tou patted Ma Mian on the shoulder and said, "In the future, with my split spirit, the two of us can still steadfastly guard the gates of the Netherworld."

Ma Mian smiled.

As Ye Yuqiao walked toward the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade and the Nether King's Heart, the latter suddenly burst forth with a black-purple glow.

Soon after, the glow faded, and Chen Hao appeared, lacking both Yin Soul and Yang Spirit, left with only his flesh.

It was the Nether King's Heart that had restored his body, yet it was unable to save his Yin Soul.

Seeing Chen Hao's pale, familiar face, Ye Yuqiao's face was once again streaked with tears. She ran to kneel before Chen Hao, her face very close to his, and her streaming tears fell from her cheeks onto Chen Hao's face, wetting it.

"Chen Hao, don't forget our eternal vow, you can't leave me behind!" sobbed Ye Yuqiao as she held Chen Hao's head.

Seeing Chen Hao's flesh resurrected from afar, the Dark Law King's expression darkened with disbelief and panic as he said, "Is that kid Chen Hao still not dead?"

Zhao Chong snorted with amusement, himself unaware of whether Chen Hao was alive or dead.

The Dark Law King then noticed Ye Yuqiao placing a crystal-clear soul shard into Chen Hao's chest and beginning to repeatedly say something. From the shape of her lips, the Dark Law King realized she was calling Chen Hao's name.

"That woman is summoning Chen Hao's Yin Soul!" The Dark Law King came to a sudden realization.

He looked to the other side, where the Zhou Family Clan Leader was approaching with the experts of both the Zhao and Zhou families, a situation highly disadvantageous for him.

Without delay, he fell backward into the ground behind him and turned into a dark shadow speeding away.

Zhao Chong didn't pursue immediately, but smashed the dark entity blocking his path and then turned back to walk towards Ye Yuqiao.

Half an hour later.

Ma Mian's split soul shard had maximally retrieved particles of Chen Hao's Yin Soul's Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul from the air, while the rest had already been destroyed by the power of Wanfa.

"Nether King," Niu Tou whispered behind Ye Yuqiao, "we've retrieved all the Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul particles that we could find. The rest is up to that kid Chen Hao's fate."

"Is there still a chance for him to awaken?" Ye Yuqiao asked, her voice heavy with despair.

Niu Tou nodded confidently.

"How long will it take for him to wake up?"

"The split soul shard will continuously absorb Yin Qi to reconstruct his Yin Soul. If it's fast, a few months; if slow, several years. Don't worry, he will eventually wake up one day," Niu Tou replied.

Ye Yuqiao closed her eyes, striving to hold back her tears from falling.

Before long, the seventy thousand troops of the Zhao Family arrived from the Meeting Yin Mountains to join them, and afterwards the group headed towards the Meeting Yin Mountains.

Hearing that Zhao Chong wanted to go to the Meeting Yin Mountains, Ye Yuqiao felt puzzled. As the Nether King, she certainly knew how inhospitable the environment of the Meeting Yin Mountains was, and she did not understand why Zhao Chong would choose it as a base.

But because she had to take care of Chen Hao, she didn't have the time to ponder further.

Meanwhile, atop Meeting Yin Mountain, fresh grass and trees were already quickly flourishing on the mountain range that had been barren for tens of thousands of years, creating a scene brimming with vitality.

The woman from the Purgatory Fire Pool stood at the summit, weeping.
