The mortal world, Y City.

Inside Chen Hao's living room.

"Yuqiao, have I undone the seal?" Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao with a very hesitant expression. Last night, he had agreed with Ye Yuqiao that in order to absorb the Yin Qi Spiritual Power of King Nanlin as soon as possible, he would have to release the seal he had placed on the Nether King's Heart in his left eye today.

Ye Yuqiao nodded.

"Really?" Chen Hao asked again. He really didn't want to unseal it, because then Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body would be able to know his every word and action through the Nether King's Heart, and he disliked the feeling of being watched.

"Be good!" Ye Yuqiao gently persuaded and then leaned in to give Chen Hao a light kiss on the face, adding, "After all, she has been spying on us for a year already."

Chen Hao's expression darkened, thinking that before it was because he was unaware, but now that he knew, he would definitely mind it.

Eventually, after hesitating for a while, he still undid the seal on the Nether King's Heart.

The moment the seal was released, Chen Hao felt an extremely yin and extremely cold Spiritual Power gush out from his left eye like water bursting through a dam, flowing through his entire bloodstream.

"Hiss!" Chen Hao let out a long hiss, shivering violently. That Spiritual Power was just too cold.

Ye Yuqiao immediately grabbed Chen Hao's hand, intending to force out the Yang Energy within her body to warm Chen Hao.

However, soon Chen Hao's face started to fluctuate due to the Spiritual Power trembling and running wild inside his body, revealing stripes of lines. The Spiritual Power forced itself out from within him, scattering the Yang Energy that was enveloping him from Ye Yuqiao.

"Yuqiao, I'm so cold!" Chen Hao cried out with a voice full of exhaustion, his teeth clattering violently against each other with a clacking sound.

Ye Yuqiao frowned as she looked at Chen Hao, who had now lost all color in his face and his body was stiff. In desperation, she had no choice but to press her left palm against Chen Hao's right palm, trying to suppress the rampaging Spiritual Power inside Chen Hao with the Nether King's Power from her body.

Although the Nether King's Power quickly subdued the rampaging Spiritual Power, Chen Hao's body could not withstand the collision of the two extremely yin and extremely cold Spiritual Powers within him and he froze to death.

"Chen Hao, I'm sorry!" Ye Yuqiao said with full remorse as she held Chen Hao, feeling as if she was holding onto a huge block of ice.

Just then, Ye Yuqiao suddenly felt the temperature in the room rising rapidly.

Her eyes shone with brilliance, she knew her Nether Soul Body had come again.

"Chen Hao!" Just as she appeared in the living room, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body immediately rushed to the side of the sofa.

Just as her hand was about to touch Chen Hao's face, a hand came out of nowhere and blocked her.

"Don't you touch him!" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul spoke sternly, her eyes filled with threat.

"You froze him to death yourself, and now you won't let me warm him up?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said, her fierce eyes showing no weakness.

"No wonder Chen Hao was always reluctant to undo the seal." Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul showed a look of disdain, "He's my boyfriend, of course you can't touch him!"

With that, Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul was already surrounded by a swirl of black Nether King's Power.

"What, you want to tear down Chen Hao's house?"

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul huffed, and then tore a rift in the air in front of her.

"If we're going to fight, let's go in there!"

"Alright!" Before her words had even fallen, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body entered into the Nether Acupoint, followed closely by her Yang Soul.

Once inside the Nether Acupoint, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body had transformed into a firebird, which immediately spit out a clump of fierce hellfire at her Yang Soul following behind.

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul retaliated by shooting out black Nether King's Fire from her eyes.

Under the illumination of the dark purple Nether King Orchid Heart above their heads, both flames were imbued with new hues.

One was the hottest flame in the world, and the other was the coldest, their collision reminiscent of the historic clash between the Volcano King and the Glacier Prince.

After a while, the colliding flames formed a fireball mixed with dark purple and earthy yellow colors, which then exploded and shattered.

The firebird then charged at high speed toward Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul, its blood burning incessantly.

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul closed her eyes and began a countermove: In an instant, eight vortices appeared in the air before her, then eight streams of Nether King's Power surged forth from the vortices.

The eight streams of Nether King's Power, like eight immensely powerful hands, grabbed the firebird before it could collide with the Yang Soul.

"If it weren't out of consideration for Chen Hao, I would have incinerated you to ashes long ago!" the firebird spoke.

"Had I not been worried about affecting the Nether King Orchid Heart, you would already be torn to shreds!"

"You've barely accumulated some Nether King's Power within you, and yet you waste it so recklessly," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body mocked.

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul, unperturbed, then said, "This is the Nether Acupoint, with the Nether King Orchid Heart right above, I don't need to consume any of my own Nether King's Power to execute moves here!"

"Let go of me, unless you wish to die."

"First, you need to tell me why you're here in the mortal world again?"

Suddenly, the firebird shed its flames and wings, reverting back to Ye Yuqiao's human form. Her hands, feet, and various parts of her body were still entangled by the eight streams of Nether King's Power.

"I suddenly sensed the Nether King's Heart, so I closed my eyes to take a look, and I didn't expect to see Chen Hao fainting, so I immediately came over."

"Yet you arrived rather too abruptly, didn't you?" Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul challenged, "To get to the mortal world, you must first find Niu Tou and Ma Mian to open the gateway."

Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body let out a scornful laugh and looked straight into the eyes of her Yang Soul, "To tell you the truth, I actually intended to inform you of something - last night, the Ghost King had already led his army of two hundred thousand out of Netherworld City."

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul furrowed her brows and asked, "What do you plan to do then?"

"Whatever it takes to defeat the Ghost King the fastest, that's what I plan to do," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body boasted confidently, well aware of what it meant to defeat the Ghost King and what it implied for her Yang Soul.

Just then, suddenly, the Nether King Orchid Heart above their heads emitted an extremely blinding purple light.

When the light dissipated, they saw a stem emerge from the center of the Nether King Orchid Heart, stretching out to about half a meter before stopping, and then the tip of the stem swelled and turned into a fruit wrapped in its husk.

"Does the blooming of that fruit signify that Chen Hao has cultivated to the level of Nether King's Power?" Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body inquired.

Ye Yuqiao's Yang Soul hummed in acknowledgment, her heart filled with a myriad of emotions.

"Everything is ready now; only the last step remains," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said with a smile.

She knew full well that, as an ordinary person from the mortal world, Chen Hao couldn't cultivate the Nether King's Power through his own practice.
