The Firebird lifted its head and looked towards the sky, feeling a powerful Spiritual Power descending from the heavens, pressing down upon it!

A dark pillar appeared!

It struck towards the Firebird, incarnated by Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, with the speed of lightning.

This pillar was the Nether King's Light!

Ordinary things touched by the Nether King's Light would instantly vanish! Although the strength on Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body meant that the Nether King's Light alone couldn't make her disappear, it was enough to severely injure her.

However, at that moment, a slash of blade light appeared above the Firebird, blocking the descending Nether King's Light.

The Second Generation Nether King was shocked; he hadn't expected Chen Hao to move so quickly!

"Ah!" Chen Hao bellowed, then his Nether King's World-Slaying Blade swept upwards, splitting the Nether King's Light right down the middle into two halves, which then shattered into black particles.

Suddenly, Chen Hao disappeared again.

The Second Generation Nether King's eyes bulged!

Chen Hao had already reached behind the Second Generation Nether King, who was too late to respond.

"Ugh!" Chen Hao plunged the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade into the Second Generation Nether King's back.

But the blade only pierced an inch before a powerful Nether King's Power gathered behind the Second Generation Nether King, pushing the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade out of his body, also sending Chen Hao, still holding the blade, flying onto the snow-covered ground.

Afterwards, the Second Generation Nether King transformed into a shadowy figure and disappeared, reappearing instantly back atop the city wall.

Chen Hao did not pursue but instead asked the Firebird in front of him, "Are you okay?"

The Firebird transformed back into human form, shook its head, and then threw itself into Chen Hao's arms, both of them landing on the ground together.

"Chen Hao, it's good you were there just now; it seems I really can't underestimate my imperial grandfather," Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body said while in Chen Hao's embrace.

Chen Hao patted Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body's back gently and chided softly, "You, you're too impulsive."

As the words fell, the two touched down on the ground. Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body swayed its head in Chen Hao's embrace, as if acting coquettishly, and then said, "I just want to destroy the ancient city quickly and plunge my imperial grandfather into despair!"

Having said that, she left Chen Hao's embrace and took three steps toward the direction of the ancient city.

Suddenly, Chen Hao felt a scorching heat. When he turned around to look at Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body, a Fire Wall had already risen on both sides of her, and standing amidst the flames, Ye Yuqiao's Nether Soul Body now appeared to him as nothing but a slender shadow.

Immediately, a cold, damp chill rose from the soles of his feet, and looking down, he saw all the snow and ice beneath his feet had melted.

"Ao!" Xiao Bai, behind him by a mile, took Xiao Feng back several miles.

In the blink of an eye, the Fire Wall had risen as high as the ancient city's walls, and the fire had spread to envelop half of the ancient city.

Aside from the Second Generation Nether King, all members of the elite guard were agape with astonishment.

"Such paltry flames are nothing to fear," the Second Generation Nether King's words revived the frightened magical creatures, "Use your combined power to hold off the flames' assault and defend the ancient city!"

The mystical creatures and beastmen looked at the Second Generation Nether King, thinking that at this moment, they were fighting shoulder to shoulder with the deity of their belief. Their morale surged.

Suddenly, the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao, with burning blood, opened her eyes and immediately three streams of Purgatory Fire burst forth from her, rushing across the melting snow toward the walls of the Ancient City.

The Second Generation Nether King's eyes darkened, then he lifted his left foot and stomped down hard. Immediately, three streams of the Nether King's Power traveled through the soles of his feet into the wall, spreading beneath to the snowy ground below blocking the Purgatory Fire.

At that moment, the Wall of Fire summoned by the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao began to quiver, flapping like fiery wings a few times, then all at once dove towards the Ancient City.

"Ha!" Loud cheers erupted from the city walls of the Ancient City as the mystical creatures, and beastmen expelled all the demon power, magic power, and beast power in their bodies, attempting to block the Purgatory Fire that was right before their eyes.

Meanwhile, the Second Generation Nether King and Chen stood still, sensing each other's positions. The Second Generation Nether King feared Chen Hao might suddenly rush into the Ancient City to wreak havoc; Chen Hao, on the other hand, was guarding the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao to prevent the Second Generation Nether King from suddenly attacking her.

After the Purgatory Fire collided with the force expelled by the mystical creatures and beastmen, a "boom" sounded, and a huge mushroom-shaped cloud rose, followed by a continuous rumble like thunder omnipresent.

Chen Hao saw the buildings of the Ancient City shaking violently, countless windows shattering; and on the icy walls of the ice sculpture skyscraper at the city center, a slender crack appeared.

Screams of panic and despair echoed continuously from within the Ancient City, which by now was thrown into complete chaos. The people inside had never imagined that one day, the Ancient City would experience such an apocalyptic scene.

In their view, the Ancient City was a paradise of eternal life, free from disaster.

However, they still believed their deity and faith in the Yin Yang Emperor would save them.

In the end, the united power of the dozens of mystical creatures and beastmen triumphed over the Purgatory Fire.

Seeing this, the Second Generation Nether King smiled and looked down at the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao, "My dear granddaughter, it seems your Purgatory Fire is unable to reach the Ancient City."

The Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao snorted, feeling very unconvinced in her heart.

Just as she prepared to burn her blood again and attack the city with Purgatory Fire, Chen Hao suddenly walked up behind her, took her left hand in his right, and whispered in her ear, "He's deliberately angering you, trying to exhaust all the power of your flames. Since this method is useless, we might as well consider others."

"Besides my granddaughter who possesses the blood of the Netherworld Azure Bird, there is no one else in this world who can destroy the Netherworld City under my watch!" The voice of the Second Generation Nether King suddenly echoed in Chen Hao's mind.

"Is that so?" Chen Hao's eyes narrowed sharply as the Nether King's Power from the Nether King's Heart flowed continuously into his blood.

He planned to engage in a final showdown with the Second Generation Nether King!

The Second Generation Nether King's eyes became vigilant, ready to face the challenge.

However, just at that moment, Chen Hao saw the mystical creatures and beastmen who had been standing atop the city walls begin to stagger and sway.

He was startled, not yet understanding what was happening when he saw one building after another in the Ancient City start to collapse, billowing dust rising with them.

"No!" The Second Generation Nether King let out a hoarse scream as the ice sculpture skyscraper he had spent hundreds of years building collapsed, disappearing bit by bit into the rising smoke and dust around it.

"What's happening!" The Second Generation Nether King, with a ferocious expression, scratched his head, unable to accept what was unfolding before his eyes.

Chen Hao and the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao exchanged a look of surprise.

After a moment, the Ancient City had gradually crumbled into ruins, and most of the geniuses within were buried underneath.

At that moment, a vine suddenly sprouted from the snowy ground beside Chen Hao and the Nether Soul Body of Ye Yuqiao.
