After explaining the cause of the earthquake, Zhao Chong then led Tang Jing back in front of the Gate of the Nether King.

Compared to Netherworld City, the trembling inside the Eighteen Levels of Hell was distinctly more intense, dozens of times more so. The Purgatory Fire Pool, before the Nether King, was affected and became tumultuous.

As they stood before the Gate of the Nether King, Tang Jing immediately turned pale with shock. Through the crack of the gate, she saw three enormous black shadows, each paired with eyes full of hatred.

Those three pairs of eyes belonged to the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld at the Gate of the Nether King. When Zhao Chong and Tang Jing appeared, three terrifying ancient Yin Qi burst from the crack in the gate, sweeping toward them.

Zhao Chong was startled and quickly moved Tang Jing to the side at top speed to dodge the sudden attack of the Yin Qi.

Then, Zhao Chong exploded with Spiritual Power within him, his eyes turning a bloody red.

And in his hands, there appeared a Blood Jade Sword emitting a crimson glow.

Holding the Blood Jade Sword, he charged towards the front of the Gate of the Nether King, while injecting Spiritual Power into the sword.

When he reached the gate, he released the Blood Jade Sword from his hand. In an instant, the body of the sword expanded dozens or even hundreds of times, bypassing the Sealing Talisman left on the gate by Chen Hao and Tang Jing, and stabbed towards the three enormous eyes.

Immediately, a shrill, panicked shriek came from the Gate of the Nether King as it began to retreat.

The entire Eighteen Levels of Hell trembled even more fiercely, and the Gate of the Nether King slowly closed.

Zhao Chong immediately maneuvered the Blood Jade Sword out of the Gate of the Nether King before it closed completely.

With a "bang," the Gate of the Nether King shut, and the Blood Jade Sword shrank, hovering in front of Zhao Chong.

"Tang Jing, hurry!" Zhao Chong immediately turned back to look at Tang Jing.

Tang Jing frowned, seeming helpless since her Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword had already been dropped due to the shock.

Seeing Tang Jing indifferent, Zhao Chong's bloody eyes faded as he asked, "Is there no way left?"

Tang Jing looked at the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword on the ground below Zhao Chong and said, "Without this sword, no Spell can seal the Gate of the Nether King."

Zhao Chong looked down at the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword, questioning, "Can't the sword be used?"

"It can," Tang Jing shook her head, "but only Chen Hao can touch it."

"What if I forcibly touch it?" Zhao Chong said. After speaking, he landed before the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword and then unhesitatingly picked it up from the ground.

Instantly, he felt a scorching Yang Energy transferring from the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword into his body, resisting him.

"Hiss hiss!" Smoke rose from his right hand holding the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword.

Immediately, he grimaced fiercely, clenched his teeth, and endured the pain.

In a blur, he arrived before the forbidden sealing spell left by Chen Hao on the Gate of the Nether King and forcefully stabbed the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword into the sealing talisman.

At that moment, half of his hand was burnt, and the scorched area was spreading towards his shoulder.

"Ah!" Zhao Chong let out an agonizing scream and then decisively grabbed his right wrist with his left hand, attempting to tear his right hand off his body.

"Zhao Chong, don't!" Tang Jing suddenly yelled out to Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong tilted his head towards his right shoulder, glancing down at Tang Jing.

"Once you tear off your hand, it will never recover," Tang Jing explained.

Under normal circumstances, the Spells and damages inflicted by the Ultimate Moon Exorcism Sword were irreversible, so Zhao Chong's right arm could very likely never regrow, even though he was the war god Zhao Chong!

Unless he possessed the Spiritual Power of three Primordial Demons of the Underworld, capable of instantly destroying the entire Netherworld City by himself.

Zhao Chong nodded slightly to Tang Jing, then closed his eyes and tore off his right arm, throwing it down without any hesitation.

He made no sound of pain as if nothing had happened.

Immediately afterward, he appeared as a shadow behind Tang Jing, weakly saying, "It's all up to you now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he used his Spiritual Power to shatter himself. Since Yang Energy from the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon still flowed within him, he had to rid his body of it this way before the Spiritual Power he had previously left on the Blood Jade Sword could restore him.

Startled, Tang Jing immediately ran to the Gate of the Nether King, then from the open space in front of the gate, she picked up several Turtle Spirit Stones and arranged them around her in a Hexagonal Formation.

She sat cross-legged within the formation, then closed her eyes.

Soon, six streams of Yang Energy Power surged from within her, each flowing into one of the six Turtle Spirit Stones around her.

Driven by her Yang Energy, the Yang Energy within those six stones gradually released.

Then her left and right hands moved swiftly, casting three spells in quick succession, causing the Yang Energy from the six Turtle Spirit Stones to rise above her head, gathering into a cluster, then flowing into the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon.

With a loud "bang," a Primordial Demon of the Underworld slammed into the other side of the Gate of the Nether King.

With her eyes still closed, Tang Jing's brows furrowed deeply as she hastened the process of infusing the Turtle Spirit Stones' Yang Energy into the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon.

Two more successive "bangs," as two other Primordial Demons of the Underworld struck the Gate of the Nether King one after another.

Had Tang Jing not timely infused the Yang Energy into the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon, the seal on the Gate of the Nether King would have been broken by then.

More impacts from several Primordial Demons of the Underworld followed, yet the Gate of the Nether King only became more solid, its vibrations noticeably weakened.

Eventually, the six Turtle Spirit Stones around Tang Jing dimmed, their contained Yang Energy having been completely transferred into the forbidden sealing spell's runes through the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon.

At that moment, Tang Jing opened her eyes and sighed deeply.

She thought the seal on the Gate of the Nether King had temporarily stabilized.

But a few seconds later,

With an enormous "boom," the Gate of the Nether King suffered an unprecedented powerful impact as the three Primordial Demons of the Underworld simultaneously struck it with all their might.

The Gate of the Nether King was forced open, creating a massive crack, and a powerful surge of Yin Qi poured out from within.

Another "boom," and the Gate of the Nether King immediately closed again, the power of the Exorcism Sword of the Waning Moon still suppressing the last attempt of the Primordial Demons.

Even so, the burst of Yin Qi had already struck Tang Jing, damaging her internal organs and causing her soul to slowly disperse.

A flash of light from the Blood Jade Sword, and Zhao Chong was restored.

After glancing at Tang Jing, he immediately came to her side.

"Tang Jing, what has happened to you?"

"Zhao Chong, don't forget to find the Turtle Spirit Stones!" Tang Jing's Primordial Spirit and Primodial Soul began to slowly rise into the air.

"I'll immediately collect the particles of your Yin Soul's Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul, and scatter them into the Samsara Path, so you can keep your Yin Soul."

"No!" Tang Jing shook her head. "I have a string of prayer beads in my hand. Help attach the particles of my Primordial Spirit and Primordial Soul to them, and hand them over."

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Jing continued, "Hand them over to Chen Hao! Quietly tell him, once upon a time, there was someone who loved him for a very long time..."
