In the Imperial Nether Clan's main hall, the Second Nether Monarch had formed a connection with the nether devil stone through his blood and God Realm energy, undoing the seal on the stone. 

Instantly, the stone transformed into a massive gate. A massive amount of devilish energy surged out of it, and the cries of numerous fiendish devils resounded from beyond the gate. It seemed as though the gate led to hell, giving off an incredibly dreadful sensation.

When Xiang Shaoyun saw the familiar-looking gate, he exclaimed, "Nether Yin Gate!"

The gate before him was none other than a Nether Yin Gate. However, this gate was much more terrifying than the one he could summon. One could say that this gate possessed the power to swallow the entire world.

The Second Nether Monarch looked at the gate in excitement as he roared, "Everyone, come with me! Time to go home!"

He then soared into the sky and worked alongside the Devil Gods waiting in the sky to channel a massive amount of devilish energy into the gate. Instantly, the gate covered the entire Imperial Nether Province. When Mo Yue, He Chenyu, and the others saw it, their expressions turned into shock. They had a feeling the Imperial Nether Clan was about to do something major.

"Whatever they are trying to do, we must stop them! Let's work together and suppress them!" shouted Mo Yue.

As he formed a seal with both his hands, a massive crest formed in the sky. The crest descended toward the gate and collided against it.

Celestial Devil Crest!

The crest was the size of a province, capable of flattening an entire province. He Chenyu did not hold back either. A sword appeared in her hand as she stabbed 108 times in the blink of an eye. Each energy sword she formed was sharp enough to penetrate the heavens. Carrying a boundless sword intent, the 108 swords shot toward the gate.

The others also made their respective moves. They might not be as strong as Mo Yue and He Chenyu, but they were still able to unleash great destruction. Alas, after the Devil Gods channeled their God Realm energy into the gate, the pulling force of the gate became even stronger. Not only did the gate absorb everything in the Imperial Nether Province, but it also absorbed all the incoming attacks.

"Humans, don't bother. We're returning to our ancestral lands. I hope you won't stop us from returning home," said the Second Nether Monarch.

"You devils have always been deceitful! You are definitely trying to break out of the Imperial Nether Province! We won't allow it!" said He Chenyu as she channeled more energy to her sword, forming a massive sword that she swung at the gate.

This attack was even more powerful than her previous attack, powerful enough to threaten the gate. Mo Yue also did not hesitate. He took out a black crest and tossed it out. Instantly, the crest turned into a black mountain that heavily descended upon the gate.

All the other Gods also attacked with all their strength, creating numerous phenomena in the sky above the Imperial Nether Province. As the Nether Yin Gate still hadn't accumulated enough strength, it was unable to stop so many attacks. The Second Nether Monarch was forced to make a move.

"You're forcing my hand!" said the Second Nether Monarch as he absorbed all the devilish energy around him. His aged complexion instantly turned young as his aura soared. A palm appeared in the air and shot toward Mo Yue, He Chenyu, and the others.

The palm wasn't too big, but it carried a terrifying might that instantly crushed all their attacks. The terrifying clash between Gods could be felt by all living beings in the South Divine Devil.

The humans panicked, and the demonic beasts and the many fiendish life forms also couldn't keep their calm. Everyone hid, afraid that they would be affected by the ongoing battle.

At the same time, more Gods flew over from the Darkdevil Sect. Apart from the Darkdevil Sect members, some other Gods residing within the South Divine Devil also rushed over. They had all sensed the massive changes within the Imperial Nether Province and were worried that the Imperial Nether Clan was about to launch another invasion.

The Second Nether Monarch successfully forced Mo Yue, He Chenyu, and the others to retreat. Without such strength, he wouldn't have been able to lead the Imperial Nether Clan to the surface world during the war in the past.

"We need the help of a lord guardian!" said Mo Yue solemnly.

"From the amount of ruckus this thing has created, a lord guardian must have sensed it. We only need to hold on for a bit longer," said He Chenyu.

They then joined hands to delay the Second Nether Monarch, not giving him the chance to complete what he wanted to do.

"Don't force me to start killing!" roared the Second Nether Monarch ferociously.

Over the years, his sole wish was to bring all his clan members away from this place. That was why he hadn't attacked to kill. But they had truly infuriated him this time. As he made his second move, the devilish energy in the sky turned into a massive wave that charged toward Mo Yue, He Chenyu, and the others, sending them all flying away.

His attack caused even Gods to bleed, yet the Second Nether Monarch hadn't even used all his strength. While attacking the humans, the Second Nether Monarch used more of his strength to maintain the gate. Instead of being a simple Nether Yin Gate, it was a gate connecting two realms.

Eventually, the entire Imperial Nether Province started hovering. It was as though a massive chunk of land had been dug out of the ground, leaving an incredibly massive hole in the ground. It was a miracle, one that could shock countless people.

At this time, Xiang Shaoyun charged out of the main hall. He wanted to leave the Imperial Nether Province as he did not intend to return to the Devil Domain. He was even more anxious when he discovered that the gate was connected to the Nether Realm, not the Devil Domain.

The so-called Nether Realm was the realm beyond the Nether Yin Gate. The Nether Realms was the Imperial Nether Clan's ancestral lands and birthplace. It was their true paradise.

Outside the Imperial Nether Province, a different Xiang Shaoyun appeared. He transmitted to Purple Lightning Marquis, "Purple Lightning, help me tear an opening at the barrier and allow my clone to escape!"

Who would have guessed that the Xiang Shaoyun who had entered the Imperial Nether Province was actually Xiang Shaoyun's pseudo-god clone? His main body was left outside the province as a precaution against what had just happened.

Purple Lightning Marquis had been watching on as the two parties fought, but upon receiving Xiang Shaoyun's command, he did not hesitate to take out his spear. Instantly, a massive amount of lightning energy converged around Purple Lightning Marquis. Even more lightning bolts rained down from the sky and converged around his spear as he stabbed down at the barrier.

An endless rain of lightning bombarded the barrier. Because the energy within the province was used to power the gate, the barrier had been weakened. With the endless bombardment, an opening was finally created.
