Boom!

The Golden Melon Hammer struck the back of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens in a timely fashion, black light flickered, and the black official robe was directly smashed to collapse, with a crack, the back of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens crumbled, and his ribs snapped one by one.

Whoosh!

The face of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens changed, and a fierce light shot out from his eyes as the Soul Summoning Banner took the opportunity to wave through the air, and with a flash of black light, Xiao Mu was sent flying.

Thud!

Xiao Mu's body crashed heavily onto the Paper Bridge, sliding backward uncontrollably.

"Humans of the human world, you are stronger than I imagined, but you are all going to die!"

Black flames of fury sprouted from the eyes of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens, seemingly on the verge of madness, as he was wounded both by Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan. His face couldn't hide the embarrassment, as he lost face.

With two soft sounds of 'pop pop,' two deep and secluded flames suddenly burst from his raging eyes. These flames were incredibly deep and secluded, as if coming from the darkest depths of Hell, looking horrifyingly eerie.

The power of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens increased, his whole body exuded a cold aura, and 'crack crack,' his surroundings started to freeze over, even space itself was beginning to solidify.

A dense black light of extreme intensity transferred from his hand to the Soul Summoning Banner, which once again became bigger, expanding from three to four zhang long to five to six zhang long.

With a whooshing sound, the Wild Wind howled like an angry dragon, more black light surged from the void, as the Soul Summoning Banner swept toward Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan.

"Go!"

Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan had no intention of continuing the battle. Each displayed their respective Divine Spirit Tablet powers, with a Golden City God Statue and Thunder God Avatar appearing above their heads, using the Five Elements Escaping Technique towards the fork on the far left.

Whoosh!

The Soul Summoning Banner swept past Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan. The Divine Spirit Statues above their heads burst into golden light, desperately resisting.

Thud!

The golden light exploded directly. Under the impact of the Soul Summoning Banner, Xiao Mu's and Huang Yuan's Divine Spirit Statues dimmed on the spot, black gas soared to the sky, but the power of the Soul Summoning Banner was blocked.

Whiz whiz whiz!

Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan took the opportunity to rush into the fork on the left, swinging back the Golden Melon Hammer and the Silver Mace toward the head of the Netherlord from beyond the heavens with a heavy blow.

"Presumptuous!"

A fierce expression flashed across the Netherlord from beyond the heavens as he retracted the Soul Summoning Banner to defend.

Black light emerged, golden and silver light flickered, numerous powers exploded from the ground, creating a series of ferocious shockwaves.

Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan utilized the shockwaves to increase their escape speed and soon vanished into the left passageway.

"You..."

The Netherlord from beyond the heavens roared in anger, a ferocious look flashing across his face. Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan had escaped, filling him with a multitude of frustrations.

He took a step to chase after them, but an intense pain on his back made him hesitate.

The pain was so fierce that the Netherlord from beyond the heavens couldn't help but frown.

The hit from Xiao Mu's Golden Melon Hammer was indeed severe, and at least seven of his ribs were shattered by the blow.

"Never mind, you can't escape anyway!"

The Netherlord from beyond the heavens gave up chasing Xiao Mu and Huang Yuan, sat down in place, and started healing.

After Xiao Mu entered the fork on the right, he unleashed the Five Elements Escaping Technique and fled wildly.

He encountered a few strange creatures along the way, which Xiao Mu killed one after another.

The fork on the right was extremely twisted and peculiar, with many parts damaged.

Not long after, Xiao Mu came upon a Broken Bridge.

A black Giant Stone as if from heaven crushed the Yellow Paper Bridge directly.

The black Giant Stone was so heavy that it broke the bridge; sinking into the Nether River, leaving only a part exposed.

Xiao Mu frowned, the part of the Paper Bridge that was smashed by the Giant Stone was too long, at least several tens of meters long.

In the human world, in an ordinary place, a distance of several tens of meters naturally wouldn't trouble Xiao Mu, who could easily leap over it.

But within the special space of the Reincarnation Path, that was not possible, and even if Xiao Mu had the ability to jump over from mid-air, he dared not do so.

Not only could fierce creatures in the Nether River attack him at any moment, but unknown dangers could also emerge at any moment in the air after leaving the Yellow Paper Bridge.

Xiao Mu pondered, halted his steps, and looked toward the giant black stone in the Nether River.

"Kid Xiao, don't touch that stone, it's a Curse Stone, and touching it means certain death! Look around that stone, even the Death Spirits in the Nether River dare not get close."

The voice of Divine Monarch Wu De came through, reminding Xiao Mu not to touch the black stone.

Xiao Mu, on alert, looked towards the Curse Stone and indeed, there were unknown black Death Spirits appearing near the Curse Stone in the Nether River.

However, it seemed that the Curse Stone was constantly exuding black energy, forming rings of ripples in the Nether River.

These ripples slowly spread outwards, and the bodies of the Death Spirits that came into contact with the black ripples slowly turned black.

The energy released by the Curse Stone was like a slow poison, gradually eroding the bodies of the nearby Death Spirits.

Xiao Mu clearly saw that some Death Spirits' bodies turned as black as charcoal. The bodies of these Death Spirits were completely decayed, and upon contact with the water of the Nether River, they immediately turned to ash and sank to the riverbed.

Xiao Mu was secretly horrified.

The Death Spirits in the Nether River are not the same as ordinary Death Spirits, nor are they the same as Yin Souls. They are the collective will of Yin Souls that have traversed the Reincarnation Path for millions of years. Without intelligence and acting purely on instinct, they harbor hostility towards all living beings, and not even the Heavenly Court can restrain them.

But now, a Curse Stone that fell from the sky and broke the Yellow Paper Bridge is slowly killing these ignorant yet extremely dangerous Death Spirits.

"Senior, what should I do? How can I get to the other side of the bridge?"

Xiao Mu stopped and sought help from Divine Monarch Wu De.

Having come this far, he couldn't just stand still. What if the Netherlord from beyond the heavens catches up?

"I don't have any good solutions myself. The Reincarnation Path is damaged, and no one can easily cross it. But wait, the boats used to cross the river earlier might still be of some use."

Divine Monarch Wu De sighed, also lacking a good solution, yet suddenly recalling the boats they used to cross the river, reminding Xiao Mu of them.

Xiao Mu was speechless. The suggestion from Divine Monarch Wu De wasn't much better than saying nothing at all. Even if the boats used to cross the river earlier could be used, they couldn't be brought here.

Besides, even if they could be brought over, Xiao Mu had no way to go back. The Netherlord from beyond the heavens might catch up at any moment. Turning back now would be certain death if he were to encounter the Netherlord.

Out of options, Xiao Mu sat down at the head of the bridge, pondering a solution.

Suddenly, above the bridge in the sky, a paper crane unexpectedly flew over, appearing above the Broken Bridge.

Xiao Mu looked up sharply, his face showing surprise.

This sudden appearance of the paper crane was too eerie. It was folded from the same Yellow Paper used for the Nether Paper Bridge.

But why did the paper crane appear here? Where did its spirituality come from, and who folded it?

"Who folded the paper crane?"

Divine Monarch Wu De also sensed the presence of the paper crane and was even more surprised than Xiao Mu.

Being more knowledgeable than Xiao Mu, he understood even better how shocking the appearance of a Yellow Paper crane in this place was.

Xiao Mu shook his head to indicate ignorance, yet he did not answer the question. In fact, he didn't need to answer.

The paper crane seemed to have not noticed Xiao Mu or had never cared about him. Upon reaching the position above the Broken Bridge, it immediately began to gently descend towards the site of the break.

Flap flap!

The paper crane fluttered its wings and landed on the edge of the break in the bridge.

Yellow Light suddenly burst forth from the edge of the Broken Bridge, and Yellow Light also burst forth from the body of the paper crane. These two beams of Yellow Light seemed to share the same origin and instantly connected, forming a continuous line.

The paper crane unfolded into an ordinary piece of Yellow Paper and it fully connected with the Paper Bridge.

The broken Paper Bridge couldn't be repaired, but the Yellow Paper that the paper crane unfolded into patched up the broken Paper Bridge, even though it was just a small part, extending the broken Paper Bridge slightly.

"Is... is that paper crane repairing the Broken Bridge?"

Xiao Mu was stunned, realizing the purpose of the paper crane.

"No!"

Divine Monarch Wu De corrected Xiao Mu through Divine Sense Communication, "Kid Xiao, it's not the paper crane repairing the Broken Bridge, it's someone using the paper crane to repair the bridge."

Xiao Mu felt Divine Monarch Wu De's explanation was more reasonable than his own and exclaimed in amazement, "Who is repairing the Broken Bridge?"

Repairing the Broken Bridge is not simply a matter of mending the bridge, but repairing the Reincarnation Path.

Someone is using Yellow Paper, made from the same material as the Nether Yellow Paper Bridge on the Reincarnation Path, to create paper cranes. They are then driving these paper cranes to repair the broken Nether Yellow Paper Bridge.
