Chapter 1063 – The Might of a Flying Sword!

While Tiande was stunned, Zhao Hai had already reached him. After which, Zhao Hai waved his blood ghost staff towards Tiande's head.

Tiande immediately moved his body to the left. However, Zhao Hai already stretched his other hand and threw a net over.

The action was very sudden, Tiande simply didn't have time to dodge. At this moment, his flying sword expanded in size and attempted to block the net.

Zhao Hai's expression changed, he didn't expect the flying sword to be this quick. The reason why he let the sword puncture him was in order to see the bone armor's capabilities. And if the sword punctures through, it didn't matter, he had already crystallized his body. It would be impossible for the other party to injure him.

Zhao Hai also wanted to use this opportunity to get close to Tiande while the flying sword was still away.

However, Zhao Hai seems to have underestimated Tiande's flying sword. The sword was truly too quick. It seems like it had come back in just a snap. Zhao Hai never expected this.

Tiande also used this opportunity to quickly withdraw. He looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, "Zhao Hai, since you have a backer from the Cultivation Realm, then you should also be aware that there are different levels when it comes to magic artifacts. Although my subordinates are equipped with inferior-grade weapons, this weapon in my hand is an advanced grade weapon."

Zhao Hai stared, then he smiled faintly and said, "It seems like your lord values you greatly, they even bestowed you an advanced-grade artifact. It seems like you weren't just picking sc.r.a.ps in the Underworld all these years."

Tiande coldly snorted as he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, this Underworld is too big. Do you really want to occupy all of it? Aren't you afraid of choking?"

Zhao Hai laughed and said, "This Underworld originally didn't belong to anyone. Those who have the strength would naturally own it. There's no need to talk nonsense. Receive my attack!" Zhao Hai's figure proceeded to move as he threw himself towards Tiande.

Tiande looked at Zhao Hai's move, then he sneered, "Zhao Hai, I really pity you. You have done all these things for your master, yet he didn't even give you a decent weapon. Is it really worth it following a master like that?"

Zhao Hai pretended to be angry as he swung his magic staff towards Tiande. In order to block, Tiande also attacked using his flying sword.

The speed of Tiande's flying sword was truly astonis.h.i.+ng. Upon seeing it, most King-level characters would surely turn red with hate. Moreover, besides the strength of impact provided by the sword, it would also emit a hidden ripple when met with an enemy's attack. This ripple would target the enemy and proceed to destroy their body from the inside out. It can be said that the attack was quite vicious.

Zhao Hai had already crystallized his body the moment he fought with Tiande, this even included his internal organs. Zhao Hai clearly knew how powerful advanced-grade artifacts were. Because of this, he wouldn't dare underestimate the strength of Tiande's weapon.

Zhao Hai's magic staff could also be used as a flying sword. However, Zhao Hai wasn't able to learn how to control flying swords. After all, he always felt that using the staff as a flying sword wasn't something easy to do. Because of this, he was intending to wait until he reaches the Cultivation Realm to do so. At this time, Zhao Hai was still using his staff as a melee weapon.

In his fight against Tiande this time, Zhao Hai was planning to see how Tiande would use the flying sword. Zhao Hai would also want to see if he could learn from watching Tiande. Being able to control the flying sword freely and with such distance, Zhao Hai couldn't help but be astounded at the Zombie. This made him even more curious about Tiande's ident.i.ty.

Moreover, after a few clashes with Tiande, Zhao Hai discovered that the Zombie did indeed have the same aura as Yin Wind Ghost Emperor's beast skeletons. In other words, he underwent the Corpse Refining method of the Cultivation Realm. This was what Zhao Hai was most curious about.

On the other hand, Tiande was very surprised at Zhao Hai. He knew very well about how strong advanced-grade flying swords were, he didn't expect Zhao Hai's staff to be able to block his sword. And it seems like there wasn't even a hint of damage.

What Tiande didn't know was the fact that Zhao Hai already had a lot of advanced-grade weapons. But despite this, Zhao Hai still felt that the flying swords were useless to him, his magic staff was already enough. Nevertheless, after acquiring these weapons, Zhao Hai tried them a few times.

After he tried the flying swords a few times, Zhao Hai began to understand the difference between advanced-grade and inferior-grade swords. Low-level swords only had basic functions such as turning bigger and smaller while also having the ability to fly. On the other hand, high-level swords had plenty of formations inside them. Additionally, the functions of these formations were different. Take Tiande's flying sword for example. In addition to being fast, it could also use dark energy in order to wound its foe. Compared to low-level swords, this weapon was much more powerful.

What Zhao Hai wanted to do now was to mainly experience how people from the Cultivation Realm used their flying swords. It can be said that those from the Cultivation Realm had reached a superb level of control when it came to flying swords. Zhao Hai was sure that if Tiande was placed in the Cultivation Realm, then he wouldn't be anything special. But one could see that the zombie's control over his flying sword was still quite flawless.

Zhao Hai can also affirm that if n.o.body else appeared, Tiande could single-handedly dominate the Underworld. n.o.body would be able to match his strength.

While Zhao Hai was feeling delight with his fight with Tiande, the battle at Dry Bone City still went on. Lizzy and Megan commanded the Undead Army in order to surround the Alliance's Undead, the latter simply had no strength to push back. As for Tiande's special team, they had already been overwhelmed by Zhao Hai's much more superior Bone Armor Legion. The 3000 inferior-grade artifacts had already been sent to the s.p.a.ce.

But despite being sent to the s.p.a.ce, of the 3000 magic artifacts, less than 1000 had been perfectly preserved. As for the rest, they were all damaged, some of them couldn't even be used anymore.

There was no other way to prevent this. Against Zhao Hai's advanced-grade weapons, these inferior-grade ones would just crumble. It was lucky for these weapons to even survive a clash.

However, Lizzy and Megan didn't feel bad about these damaged weapons. This was because they could still be recycled. With the Processing Machine's help, these weapons would be patched up easily.

By now, Lizzy and Megan weren't too frantic in their attacks. The two just sat in the living room alongside Laura and the others. The women looked like aunties shopping for groceries. They looked at the Undead on the monitor and would pluck any Undead they liked and sent it to the s.p.a.ce. Those who weren't pleasing to their eyes were killed and harvested for their fiery souls.

The group treated the battle as a game as they pointed at several Undead. As for Zhao Hai's battle, they simply didn't care.

After going through a lot, they weren't that worried about Zhao Hai anymore. They already knew that if Zhao Hai cannot beat his enemy, then he could just escape to the s.p.a.ce at any time. So instead of worrying about Zhao Hai, they might as well look for things they were interested in. Just like what they were doing at the present, as long as they find an Undead amusing, then they would just capture them.

If Addison and the others knew about what Lizzy and the others were doing, then who knows what their expressions would be like. It seems like the only ones capable of being this nonchalant in the Underworld would be Zhao Hai's wives.

Zhao Hai didn't know about any of these. He was currently trying to make Tiande go all out. In his estimation, Tiande was a bit stronger than Addison. But after using his flying sword, Tiande's strength would be elevated by at least five layers. If Tiande used his flying sword to clash with Addison, then Addison would certainly die.

At the same time, Zhao Hai came to realize that using this battle to learn how to control flying swords was impossible. Presently he couldn't even properly let the weapon fly. If he wanted to learn, then he would have to acquire a sword manual.

After coming to terms with this situation, Zhao Hai knew that there was already no use in trading hits with Tiande. It was time for the fight to end.

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Hai's body moved as he began to turn back. To be honest, for Tiande, fighting with Zhao Hai gave him a lot of pressure. Although Zhao Hai didn't have a flying sword, his weapon was no worse than one. Tiande's sword could use dark energy in order to corrupt the opponent's weapon, but this seems to be useless against Zhao Hai. After seemingly thousands of clashes, no damage could be visibly seen on Zhao Hai's staff.

After seeing Zhao Hai turn back, Tiande was shocked, but he didn't pursue. This was because he was very clear that Zhao Hai didn't retreat because he didn't have the strength. Zhao Hai just retreated because he wanted to.

When two people fight and one person suddenly retreats, then this meant that he might fully retreat or make a big move. Moreover, the outcome would most likely be decided by this move.

After thinking about this, Tiande became more careful as he made his flying sword go back. The sword proceeded to circle around his body, protecting him.

Zhao Hai looked at Tiande and smiled, "Let's end this." After he said that, his hand moved and threw his blood ghost staff!

Chapter 1064 – Myriad Treasures Pavillion

After seeing Zhao Hai throw his weapon, Tiande couldn't help but stare. However, he still heightened his senses. He knew that Zhao Hai's weapon wasn't anything ordinary. It seems to be harder than a flying sword. The only downside to this weapon was that it couldn't be used as a flying sword, otherwise it would have been extremely formidable.

Tiande also knew that Zhao Hai wouldn't just throw his weapon for no reason. There would certainly be a more ruthless move afterwards.

Under Tiande's gaze, Zhao Hai's magic staff didn't fall to the ground. Instead, it just floated in mid-air, albeit not as graceful as a flying sword.

Tiande continued to focus his attention on Zhao Hai, he didn't dare be careless even for a little bit. He was aware of Zhao Hai's accomplishments. Would someone who eliminated the Dark Temple be a simple character? Tiande knew that although that old ghost only had his incarnation in the Temple, the strength of that incarnation couldn't be underestimated. The old ghost was able to govern the Dark Temple for many years, that wasn't something ordinary people could do.

Because of this, Tiande was very careful when he was fighting against Zhao Hai. He was clear that even if he brought his flying sword to the Dark Temple, he still wouldn't be able to conquer it.

Zhao Hai looked at Tiande and chuckled, "Tiande, you said that I don't have a flying sword. You're correct. However, my master already told me that flying swords with no spirits inside are nothing. Because of this, he prepared another magical artifact for me. A sealing artifact!"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai speak about a sealing artifact, Tiande's expression changed. He was aware about how terrifying sealing artifacts were.

These sealing artifacts weren't used for sealing areas, but instead it can seal ent.i.ties. It uses a secret method in order to seal the laws itself. Sealing artifacts were originally made by Cultivators in order to seal a demonic artifact.

In the Cultivation Realm, there were also distinctions between Cultivators and Demon Cultivators, like Lu Wei and Yin Wind Ghost Emperor. Powerful Demonic Cultivators would certainly use weapons with the yin attribute or something that was made with either ghost qi or demon qi. Wielded by Demonic Cultivators, the might of these items was formidable.

And after being used by Demonic Cultivators, these artifacts would be contaminated with demonic aura. If a weak Cultivator takes hold of these demonic artifacts, then they would certainly be corrupted. If this Cultivator doesn't practice demonic arts, then they would surely die soon.

Because of this, people would generally destroy these artifacts once they acquired them. It was just too difficult to refine demonic items.

But there were a lot of advanced-grade demonic artifacts. The materials used to make these weapons were extremely valuable, it would be a pity to destroy them. Therefore, people could only find ways to refine these weapons. It was for this reason that sealing artifacts were invented.

The principle of these sealing artifacts was to seal a demonic artifact inside another artifact. Only then would the artifact be safe for others to use. While being sealed, the demonic qi would be refined bit by bit. When the demonic artifact was fully refined, then it could be reused completely.

Also, this sealing weapon had another use. It could effectively trick the enemy. If one was against a person with an inferior-grade artifact, then one might not treat the enemy seriously. However, what if that inferior-grade artifact suddenly turns out to be an advanced-grade weapon in the middle of a fight? This would surely change the tides of battle.

Zhao Hai didn't hear about these sealing artifacts from the Heart Defending Clan, instead he got it from Lu Wei's remnant soul. In the past, Lu Wei suffered a loss from sealing artifacts. Because of this, the impression of the artifacts on him was very deep. And due to this memory, Zhao Hai was able to know about them.

Zhao Hai intended to throw his staff and then saying that it was a sealing artifact in order to fool Tiande. Sure enough, upon hearing this, Tiande's expression immediately changed.

If Zhao Hai really took out a sealing artifact, then that would truly be scary. Making a single sealing artifact wasn't easy. Even in the Cultivation Realm, only elder-level characters would make these artifacts and hand them over for their younger descendants. This way, these younger generations would have life-saving methods when exploring the outside world.

It can be said that sealing artifacts weren't simple items. And because he knew this, Tiande couldn't help but be afraid.

At this moment, Zhao Hai murmured, "Transform, suppress!"

Just as Zhao Hai's voice fell, the floating magic staff suddenly emitted ma.s.sive amounts of red lights. Then the staff broke down and became a huge red cauldron. This cauldron immediately flew into the air and opened its mouth to cover Tiande. The cauldron moved too fast, even if Tiande wanted to defend using his flying sword, it was already too late. After a spark from the flying weapon, Tiande was swallowed up.

A spatial rift appeared before Tiande was thrown into the s.p.a.ce. However, Zhao Hai didn't immediately follow. Instead, he quickly flew towards Holy Bone City and entered the small room on the ceiling. After having Cai'er record the transmission formation, Zhao Hai went on to completely destroy it.

Only after destroying the formation did Zhao Hai begin to relax. Zhao Hai knew that the Underworld was now his.

The reason why Zhao Hai didn't reveal the truth while fighting Tiande was because he didn't want to ruin the impression that he had a master in the Cultivation realm. He couldn't risk everything over a simple mishap. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't showcase the strength of his staff too much. He acted every move he made, making sure that there would be no flaw.

Although Zhao Hai knew that the people from the Cultivation Realm got their news through that beast skin, he still didn't dare to be negligent. The means of the Cultivation Realm were endless, and the people behind Tiande weren't simple. In this situation, Zhao Hai would have to be careful. He was afraid that Tiande's memories would be sent back to the Cultivation Realm. If that was the case, then it would be best to tell Tiande nothing. If people discover Zhao Hai's secrets, then instead of causing trouble for Lu Wei, Zhao Hai would gain another powerful enemy!

Zhao Hai had always been a careful person. He would rather miss an opportunity than go too far. To be honest, this kind of temperament would never take anybody to great heights. It was only because of the s.p.a.ce that Zhao Hai was able to reach his current state.

After taking care of Holy Bone City's matters, Zhao Hai returned to the s.p.a.ce. Upon entering, Zhao Hai saw that Laura and the others were still happily playing their game. Looking at their enthusiasm, Zhao Hai didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.

However, Zhao Hai smiled in the end. Seeing Laura and the others like this made him relieved. As long as they were happy, then he was happy.

Zhao Hai didn't disturb them, instead he returned to his own room and called Tiande over. Tiande had been sent to the s.p.a.ce's warehouse, so now that he was summoned by Zhao Hai, the s.p.a.ce immediately issued a prompt, "Hostile being detected. Subduing, successfully subdued. Strange communication link detected on the Undead's body, interrupting link. Link has been interrupted." Then there were no other prompts.

But what made Zhao Hai's heart jump was the bit at the end. Did the s.p.a.ce just discover a hidden communication link inside Tiande? After having thought of this, Zhao Hai quickly turned to Tiande and asked, "Tiande, could you directly contact the Cultivation Realm? Were you able to relay what just happened to them?"

Tiande shook his head and replied, "Replying to the Young Master. I cannot. If I want to contact the Cultivation Realm, then I would have to write on the beast skin."

Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "That what was that unusual communication link about?"

Tiande immediately replied, "Young Master, that link was installed the moment my body has been refined. That link would activate the moment I die. After my spiritual imprint gets erased, the people from the Cultivation Realm would immediately see the scenes one hour before I died. It has been integrated into my body, there's no way for me to remove it."

Zhao Hai nodded, he finally understood. This communication link was the same as things he read back on Earth. There would be bombs that would be connected to a person's heart. Once the heart stops beating, then the bomb would explode. Tiande had the same thing, once his spiritual force dissipates, then the communication link would immediately activate.

But as the matter stands, Zhao Hai could feel relief. As long as Tiande wasn't pa.s.sing information over to the Cultivation Realm in real time, then everything was fine. Otherwise, Zhao Hai wouldn't know what to do when the people from the Cultivation Realm found his flaws.

Zhao Hai let out a long breath. Then he turned to Tiande and asked, "Tiande, which influence from the Cultivation Realm do you belong to?"

Tiande nodded and answered, "Young Master, I belong to one of the five biggest trading companies in the Cultivation realm, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. In the past, the pavilion obtained some coordinates. After finally deciding to try looking for it, an Elder managed to see the Underworld. And after seeing the special properties of the plane, they immediately thought of sending someone to collect yin attribute materials for them. And thus I was sent over."

Chapter 1065 – Tiande's Past Life

Zhao Hai nodded before asking once more, "How do you know all of this?"

When Tiande heard Zhao Hai's question, the dried up skin on his face twitched unconsciously. Then he sighed and said, "Replying to the Young Master. I wasn't born a zombie back in the Cultivation Realm. I was a disciple of an orthodox sect, a sword sect. It was only later on that I was refined into a zombie."

Zhao Hai's brow couldn't help but go up. He looked at Tiande and said, "Continue."

Tiande nodded, "Although my sword sect isn't a strong influence in the Cultivation Realm, it was still a medium-grade sect, it is still quite powerful. I was deemed as a talent in the sect. At age 20, I reached body tempering. At age 21, I successfully entered qi condensation. There were a lot of people in the sect that called me a rare talent." After he said that, Tiande's eyes turn red as he recalled his life.

Killing intent can be seen on Tiande's eyes as he continued to recall, his voice became colder and colder, "But I didn't expect that my outstanding talent would actually draw me into a fatal disaster. An Elder of our sect had a sole grandson that was practically a waste. Ying Ran ate precious medicinal pills while he was growing up. But despite this, he only had the same strength as me when he reached the age of 20. If I consumed those pills instead, then I would have already been a foundation establishment expert. It was because of this fact that Ying Ran became jealous of me. In the end, he used his grandfather's influence to issue a mission that would kill me in the end. At that time, I wasn't aware of the real goal of the mission. It was already too late when I found out that I was supposed to deal with a famous Nascent Soul demonic expert. Ghost Hand Merchant, Jia Dingtian!"

Tiande gave out a sigh before continuing, "Although this Jia Dingtian is already at a Nascent Soul stage, he still kept with his ruthlessness. Moreover, he was an a.s.sa.s.sin in the Cultivation Realm. He would accept cash in return for his service. He also had a formidable demonic art, Living Corpse Refining Technique."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai's heart couldn't help but turn cold. Judging by its name, the Living Corpse Refining Technique should be a sinister method. But Zhao Hai didn't disturb Tiande as he continued, "As its name suggests, the Living Corpse Refining Technique refines a living person's body. Not only would the corpse retain its soul, it would also have all of its memories, even some emotions. The process of refinement was very painful. Moreover, you can feel it all the time!"

Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel cold. He doesn't know the exact process of refining, but he can be certain that retaining a person's memories and emotions wouldn't be an easy process. It might even be multiple times more painful than being burned alive.

Tiande went on, "When I was captured by Ghost Hand Merchant Jia Dingtian, he used his technique in order to refine my living body. While in the process, he told me that the sect's elder was the one who wanted me killed. However, the Elder didn't give the instruction to turn me into a living corpse. Instead, it was the Elder's Grandson who wanted me refined."

After speaking up to here, Tiande let out a long breath and then said, "After being refined into a living corpse, I was no longer able to progress in my cultivation. I was at Qi Condensation stage before I was refined. Low-ranked living corpses like me had little to no use in the Cultivation Realm. But this time, the Myriad Treasures Pavillion actually needed low-level corpses. Because of this, Jia Dingtian sold me to the Pavillion."

Tiande let out another long breath, "The Myriad Treasures Pavillion refined me once again. Moreover, from what I could hear, their secret technique involves separating my soul and my body. Then they would deliver my body to the Underworld first before attaching my soul to a inferior-grade artifact and then sending it second. The artifact would be attracted to my body by using my soul. Before long, my soul and body were reunited. This is how I ended up living in the Underworld."

Zhao Hai didn't expect Tiande to go through all these twists and turns. He immediately asked, "Once you arrived in the Underworld, aren't you able to separate from the pavilion's control?"

Tiande shook his head, "I cannot. While the Myriad Treasures Pavillion refined me, they gave heavy emphasis on restricting my soul. If I dared to break their control, then that restriction would activate, dissipating my soul, killing me instantly."

Zhao Hai knit his brows, "If what I heard was right, then could the pavilion send countless people like you in the Underworld?"

Tiande shook his head, "I'm afraid it would be impossible. After all the years I spent here, I discovered that the Underworld was changing bit by bit. Even in the past it would still be very hard. If I hadn't arranged the transmission formation right after I arrived in the Underworld, then I might have completely lost contact with the Cultivation Realm. The Yin Wind Ghost Emperor should be aware of these changes as well since it looks like he could no longer send energy to his incarnation. After seeing his incarnation restricting itself inside the Temple, I knew that there must be a problem."

Zhao Hai began to relax. To be honest, the things that Tiande spoke about gave Zhao Hai a scare. He looked up to the people in the Cultivation Realm, eager to see them. But after hearing Tiande, he knew that the Cultivation Realm was much more dangerous than he expected. The capabilities of the Cultivators seem to be much more ruthless than he thought.

Regarding the changes that Tiande said, Zhao Hai could affirm that it was because of the Giant Heart. All this time, the Giant Heart had been working hard to defend itself. Because of this, the Underworld went through changes year after year. It seems like the results were remarkable, even Tiande was able to sense that the Underworld was different from before.

However, Zhao Hai was still curious, so he asked Tiande, "How are you able to sense that the Underworld was different?"

Tiande replied, "Replying to the Young Master. As time went by, I began to feel that the Cultivation Realm's control over me had decreased. Moreover, aside from the transmission formation, they lost all their means to give me commands. When I first came to the Underworld, they were still able to use their Divine Sense to control me. But now it has become impossible."

Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "I've already destroyed that transmission formation. The link you have to the Cultivation Realm has also been erased. You don't need to worry about it anymore."

Tiande gave Zhao Hai a bow, "Tiande thanks the Young Master. If not for the Young Master, then I might not be able to see this day."

Zhao Hai waved his hand as he inquired once more, "Didn't you say that your memories had been preserved? So do you still remember the cultivation methods of your sect?"

Tiande immediately replied, "Young Master can rest a.s.sured, I remember them all."

Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel happy, "Good, then you should stay with Cai'er and recall every cultivation method you have. Write down what you know about the Cultivation Realm as well."

Tiande complied before following Cai'er. Zhao Hai stood up and walked out of his room. Before long, he arrived in the living room. Laura and the others were still playing. They had nothing else to do, so they decided to play with the Undead.

The Undead were under Lizzy and Megan's control. If they wanted the Undead to attack, then they would attack; and if they wanted them to defend, then the Undead would defend. Because of this, they had a jolly time controlling the Undead army.

The reason why they weren't catching Undead like before was because the s.p.a.ce' Undead had already reached an astonis.h.i.+ng 50 billion. It was already a lot, there was no need to be frantic in taking in more.

Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and saw that here weren't a lot of Neutral Alliance Undead left. He smiled before saying, "Alright, you can stop playing around, clean them all up."

When Laura and the others heard this, they turned their heads. They were too immersed in their game that they failed to notice that Zhao Hai had come back. Now that Zhao Hai suddenly spoke, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Laura hastily stood up and said, "Brother Hai, you're back? When did you return?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I returned a while ago. But after seeing you having fun, I decided not to disturb you. I just finished talking with Tiande, I didn't expect that you would still be playing. Alright, it's time to tidy up. You can play later, the Underworld already belongs to us."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Laura and the others looked at each other and cheered. They had waited for this day for a long time, now they finally achieved their goal.

The Underworld was different compared to the other places. Places like the Ark Continent could have their laws destroyed. Once its laws were destroyed, then it would become like an unguarded city. On the other hand, the Underworld had a special environment that didn't allow beings that weren't Undead. At the same time, the Giant Heart was here, changing the plane bit by bit. There was no arguing that the Underworld was the best place to be their base.

Naturally, n.o.body else would want to make the Underworld their base, even the people from the Cultivation Realm. If someone stays in the Underworld for too long, they would eventually succ.u.mb to the plane's death energy. If they don't turn into Undead immediately, then they would turn into a deranged demon before dying.

And in addition to the Dark Mist, it would also be impossible for them to cultivate here. Therefore, this was a plane that n.o.body really wanted to be in.

The reason the Yin Wind Ghost Emperor came to the Underworld was because he wanted to gather subordinates while also gaining faith power.

However, after the transformations caused by the Giant heart, the Yin Wind Ghost Emperor could no longer gather subordinates, he could only collect faith power.

And now that the Dark Temple has been ruined, faith power could no longer be collected. Also, it would now be impossible for the Ghost Emperor to go back to the Underworld. It can be said that the Underworld was now in Zhao Hai's hands.

While it was useless and harmful to others, this didn't matter to Zhao Hai. He has the s.p.a.ce, therefore he can take the Underworld as his back garden. Not only could it provide Zhao Hai with ores, special plants, and endless subordinates, it could also provide faith power in the future. These were all things that the people from the Cultivation Realm wanted. And now it was in Zhao Hai's hands.

Laura and the others were also clear about the Underworld's importance. Because of this, they were happy after hearing the news.

Zhao Hai looked at their expressions and smiled, "Alright, now go finish everything up." Lizzy and Megan nodded before commanding the army to end the fight.

Not too long after that, the Neutral Alliance fell.

After the Undead were cleaned up, Zhao Hai waved his hand and called Addison in. Addison had a look of joy as he faced Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai looked at Addison's expression and smiled, "Addison, now that the Underworld is ours, I want to hear your opinion. You have two choices. First choice is to enter the h.e.l.l s.p.a.ce. You should be very clear that practicing in the h.e.l.l s.p.a.ce is much more effective than here in the Underworld. Your other choice is staying in the Underworld, helping me manage the place, becoming the Lord of the Underworld. Besides me, all the other Undead would listen to you. This isn't relaxed work and it might affect your cultivation."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Addison couldn't help but chuckle. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, you can forget about the first option. I will stay here in the Underworld to manage it. If I'm here, then I would bring better benefits to you. Although it might seem like I chose this because of your preferences, but I am really willing to manage the Underworld. Even if I spend my entire life doing so, I would still be willing. This is because the Young Master has given us Undead an ident.i.ty, treating us as our own race. For Young Master's sake, I will do everything."

Zhao Hai looked at Addison, he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, Addison, I understand your decision. You can stay here in the Underworld. But you can rest a.s.sured, after I ascend to the Cultivation Realm, I will certainly seek cultivation methods for you to use. When the time comes, you can practice here in the Underworld. If you manage to get stronger, I can pick you up at any time."

Addison's eyes shone. He stood up and gave Zhao Hai a bow, "Thank you, Young Master. Rest a.s.sured, I will properly manage the Underworld."

Zhao Hai laughed. He patted Addison's shoulder and said, "Alright, you go settle things in the Underworld. After all, this is now your domain."
