[No, impossible!]

Thunder Immortal Venerable shouted loudly, and the whole world could hear.

In front of Chen Lan, the Heaven-Destroying Thunder Halberd had shattered into pieces, and the Thunder Dao Rhyme within had been completely absorbed into Chen Lan's Dantian for future refinement.

[Initiate of the Dao of Power, you even mastered the power of the Dao!]

Lightning Immortal Venerable spoke in amazement, having seen the obvious traces of the use of Dao power in Chen Lan's recent attack.

This trash even mastered the Dao!

They had cultivated for so long to master the Thunder Dao, barely reaching small success.

Yet this world's trash could also master the Dao?!

This shouldn't be!

There must be something hidden from them above!

"Thank you for the Thunder Dao Rhyme, but you still must die," Chen Lan said with a faint smile, flashing into the thunderclouds in front of Thunder Immortal Venerable.

Seeing Chen Lan suddenly appear, Thunder Immortal Venerable was startled, yet in an instant, he felt his body unable to move!

Chen Lan's eyes flashed with purple light, Soul Dao Power swirling and condensing between his hands.

"Soul Search," Chen Lan softly said.

In an instant, Soul Power enveloped Thunder Immortal Venerable, causing pain as if burning, his body stiff, unable to move!

[Ahhhhh!]

Thunder Immortal Venerable screamed in agony, while Lightning Immortal Venerable beside him yelled, "Husband!"

Several bolts of lightning burst forth from her body, rushing towards Chen Lan.

"Begone!"

Chen Lan turned and shouted coldly, powerful Soul Power erupting towards Lightning Immortal Venerable.

Bang!

Instantly, Lightning Immortal Venerable evaporated, disappearing without a trace.

"Haha, another Outer Body Incarnation," Chen Lan coldly laughed and continued the Soul Search.

At this moment, Thunder Immortal Venerable was bewildered.

[What, it was an incarnation?!]

He could not believe that Lightning Immortal Venerable came as an Outer Body Incarnation; he thought she came in her true form.

No wonder they lost; turns out it was just an incarnation. If the true form had descended, this kid would have died without a doubt!

An incarnation's Dao Power is much less than a true form's, unable to unleash the full power of the Heaven-Destroying Thunder Halberd.

Thunder Immortal Venerable blamed Lightning Immortal Venerable for all this.

[Lightning Immortal Venerable, even as a ghost, I will not spare you!]

Boom!

A sound of explosion rang out as Thunder Immortal Venerable's body blew apart and perished, his Divine Soul completely destroyed.

Chen Lan was unsurprised, his expression calm; his Soul Search was merely to try obtaining some useful information.

Due to the issue of the Soul Restriction, the opponent was directly annihilated, even his soul vanished without a trace.

However…

Chen Lan opened his palm, an ice-blue flame flickering in the wind, his lips slightly curving upwards.

This was a materialized soul, essentially Soul Fire.

It was a fragment of Thunder Immortal Venerable's soul, no, more accurately, Lei Gong's soul.

During the Soul Search, he discovered a very weak soul in Thunder Immortal Venerable's sea of consciousness, which would gradually vanish over time until truly dissipated.

He merely probed slightly, and this soul rushed toward him as if meeting parentage.

He saw that the soul carried no malice, so he let it come over.

He could freely create souls, but not souls with memory, yet now with this fragment, he could recreate Lei Gong's soul with memory.

However, it would take some time for it to completely recover its memory.

Thunder Immortal Venerable was utterly obliterated, Lightning Immortal Venerable fled.

The sky cleared after the rain, and it immediately returned to a bright sky, as if nothing had happened.

After resolving all, Chen Lan disappeared on the spot.

The Heaven-Howling Dog on the sect sensed something, similarly vanishing.

"So powerful, this is indeed the Great Emperor, effortlessly dealing with two Immortal Emperors."

"This battle was so exhilarating to witness, when will I become so strong too?"

"It feels increasingly dangerous, too many Immortal Emperors."

"Usually it's rare to see even one Immortal Emperor, now they appear one after another."

The disciples remained apprehensive, yet their desire to become stronger intensified.

Peng Dahai was among them, realizing his own cultivation level was poor compared to so many Immortal Emperors, promptly returning to cultivate harder.

Many were like this; upon witnessing the strong, they naturally wished to draw closer to them.

...

Sect Leader Hall.

Chen Lan and the Heaven-Howling Dog appeared one after the other.

"You heard it just now, didn't you?" Chen Lan looked at the Heaven-Howling Dog.

"Yes, although Lei Gong spoke vaguely, I heard it; he told me to stay away from the Underworld." The Heaven-Howling Dog frowned, nodding.

Why did Lei Gong want it to stay away from the Underworld? Could something have happened in the Underworld?

"Is the Underworld considered an evil path in the Profound Dust Realm?" Chen Lan continued to ask.

"Not exactly, but somewhat; the Underworld possesses the ability to capture ghost souls, and generally Demon Beasts or Ghost Cultivators go there to apprentice and learn skills."

"In the Profound Dust Realm, the Underworld has extraordinary abilities; it can allow people to reincarnate, resurrect, these unique abilities have rapidly developed it into the most powerful force, bar none."

"If ranking the factions, Underworld is certainly first, followed by the Celestial Court."

Upon hearing, Chen Lan nodded, surprised at the Underworld's strength, mastering the Power of Reincarnation, likely the Dao power of the Reincarnation Dao.

"What is a Ghost Cultivator?" Chen Lan asked.

He had never heard this term, nor had it appeared in any game.

"Ghost Cultivator, simply understood as ghost soul cultivation; some cultivators upon dying still retain their souls, if they master Soul Cultivation Techniques, they can abandon their flesh and become true Ghost Cultivators, proficient in using Soul Power to attack, though this is a form of Evil Cultivation."

"Because they must consume Soul Power to strengthen themselves, they need to kill, Ghost Cultivators are typically heinous cultivators who harm others in life and continue to harm posthumously; this is when the Underworld must capture them, for they greatly fear those from the Underworld."

"They gave those capturing them a name: 'Ghost Messenger'."

Chen Lan nodded slightly; seems the Underworld is indeed strong, but why stay away, unless…

"Do you think there's a chance the Underworld betrayed you, becoming a pawn for those people?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible; the Underworld and us in the Celestial Court have always been allies, this reincarnation plan was proposed and meticulously measured by them first, to ensure the plan does not fail, how could they betray us?" Heaven-Howling Dog immediately denied.

No matter what, it couldn't believe the Underworld could betray them; they were allies for over ten thousand years, a bond as strong as gold.

Chen Lan remained silent; if not betrayal, he couldn't comprehend why Lei Gong would say to stay away from the Underworld.

There must be some unspeakable secret within.

"Let's not discuss too much; I can resurrect Lei Gong."
