Lin Xun's expression flickered.

The Nirvana of Transcendence, the Eternal Supremacy Path, the trial of reincarnation...

These were all supreme fortunes from the origin power of the Ancient Nebula Road, but they were also unpredictable disasters!

Even the old antiques at the ninth realm of the Emperor Stage were going to participate. Thus, it was only obvious how cruel and terrible the competition must be.

And who could become the only lotus that bloomed from this?

"Young Master, is there anything else you want to ask?" Qing Ying poured another cup of tea for Lin Xun; her every move was full of incomparable grace and stunning beauty.

Lin Xun surfaced from his deep contemplation and said, "Before I arrived here, someone said that there were people in the Underworld waiting for me to solve the problem. Do you know what this means?"

Qing Ying was startled. She shook her head and said, "I really know nothing about this."

Although Lin Xun had been mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed. What did the golden cicada youth mean by that?

In this Underworld, who needed him to solve a problem for them?

"Are you ready?"

Big Yellow’s wolf-like howl sounded outside the hall.

"Young Master, during this period before the third coming of the Calamity of Ruin, Senior Heaven-Dooming and his men will take you to the Dark Hidden Purgatory for training. This is also a dao-proving opportunity that Senior Zhong Qiu has prepared for you."

Qing Ying stood up and held open the blood-colored umbrella that was as red as rouge. "Senior Zhong Qiu has also proved his dao there."

"Dark Hidden Purgatory?" As he mused on this new information, Lin Xun followed Qing Ying and walked out of the hall.

Outside the hall, the drunk man and Big Yellow were already waiting there.

"Boy, although you are the master's junior brother in name, I will not regard you as a bigshot before you get the master's approval."

Big Yellow raised his head arrogantly.

"Oh, don't worry, I definitely won't treat you as a bigshot either."

Lin Xun laughed. He really wanted to kill this arrogant big yellow dog. It was too full of itself, and its entire attitude was basically begging for a beating. 𝑅ÅNŎBÊ𝒮

"Brat, are you out of your mind? How dare you talk to me like I’m an ordinary human?" The big yellow dog's large eyes were fierce and vicious.

Lin Xun smiled slightly, "You are not even human. If I treat you as one, wouldn't it be the same as scolding you...as a dog in human form?"

Puff!

The drunk man burst out laughing.

A dog in human form? What an insult!

Qing Ying next to him was obviously trying to hold back her laughter. She didn't expect Lin Xun to be so bold, but after all, Senior Zhong Qiu was his senior brother. No matter how arrogant this dog was, would it dare to offend him?

"Ouch!"

Big Yellow bit the drunk man's thigh, causing him to gasp in pain. He said angrily, "Big Yellow, what does any of this have to do with me? Why are you biting me?"

Big Yellow said viciously, "With my status, does it make sense for me to bully a weak junior? You laughed, so does it matter if I bite you?"

The drunk man immediately began sulking.

Lin Xun felt a little embarrassed and said, "Big Yellow, biting people is not the right thing to do..."

Big Yellow bit the drunk man again and said, "I just bite people randomly. Don't want to accept it? Bite me."

The drunk man looked like he wanted to cry but he had no tears. Lin Xun and the dog were fighting each other, but he was the unlucky one caught in the middle.

Seeing that Lin Xun was about to speak, he hurriedly said, "Little friend, let's go."

He was really worried that Lin Xun would say something else, which would cause Big Yellow to bite him again...

"Okay," Lin Xun agreed happily.

Big Yellow looked arrogant, "Boy, don't be so proud. When you enter the Dark Hidden Purgatory, don't cry and beg me to save you!"

Lin Xun directly retorted, "A good dog doesn't block the road. Lead the way!"

Big Yellow was so angry that he bared his teeth and snarled before pouncing on the drunk man. The latter had foreseen the bad situation and had already run away.

...

Thick blood filled a sea, and a huge whirlpool that slowly rotated that resembled a passage leading to the deep seabed was suspended there.

Woo woo woo~

Waves of ghost-like howling came from the depths of the whirlpool, which sent chills down almost everyone who heard it.

This was the entrance to the Dark Hidden Purgatory!

"At the beginning of the primeval era, after the first Calamity of Ruin, the Underworld had fallen into great destruction. Many terrifying beings that were regarded as gods were buried in this catastrophe. From then on, the Underworld was regarded as the place where the gods were buried."

The drunk man stood on the side of the whirlpool as he explained all this to Lin Xun.

"This Dark Hidden Purgatory is a piece of those ancient ruins that were left after the first Calamity of Ruin. There are many evil spirits buried under it. Each of them had a terrifying cultivation base above the Emperor Stage when they were alive and were as powerful as gods.

"After countless years, these evil spirits suppressed here have also undergone many transformations. Some evil spirits have become even more powerful than they were when they were alive!

"However, you don't have to worry, my friend. This Dark Hidden Purgatory is divided into eighteen layers, and the evil spirits distributed on each layer are different.

"For you, entering the upper nine layers should not be a problem. Back then, the lord had killed his way into the ninth layer alone, proved his dao there, embarking on the path of a supreme Emperor.

"You are now a third level supreme quasi-Emperor. According to the lord, the power you have should be higher than what he had back then, so there is a great chance that you can fight your way to the ninth layer."

Hearing this, Lin Xun roughly understood what was going on.

However, just when he was about to ask some more questions, Big Yellow next to him lifted his leg and kicked him into the vortex.

There was no warning at all!

"When I come back, I will chop you up, you stinky dog!"

Lin Xun's exasperated voice rang out from the depths of the whirlpool.

"You should think about how to avoid being tortured to death first!" Big Yellow laughed boisterously, his dog face full of pride and arrogance.

"Is this really okay?" The drunk man sighed, a little worried, "The deeper you go into the Dark Hidden Purgatory, the more terrifying it is. If something goes wrong with that kid... Hehe, I'm sure that his lordship will stew you."

Big Yellow immediately stiffened as an uncertain expression surfaced on his doggy face. After a while it said, "Don't worry, I know the master's character best. Since he dared to let this kid come, it proves that this kid has the ability to survive up to the ninth level of the Dark Hidden Purgatory. What's more, didn't I also survive my trip to the Dark Hidden Purgatory back then?"

The drunk man's expression became strange as he had remembered something from the past.

A long time ago, this big yellow dog was brought here by the lord. No matter what he was told, the big yellow dog refused to enter the Dark Hidden Purgatory. He hugged the lord's thigh and cried.

In the end, it still had to go in.

The lord had unceremoniously kicked it in.

Later, when the big yellow dog returned, it looked so miserable. It had lost so much weight that it was skin and bones and was also covered with scars. In addition, its legs had been broken. It had to rest for a whole year before it fully recovered.

Since then, whenever Big Yellow heard the words Dark Hidden Purgatory, its tail would involuntarily stiffen and go down...

Thinking of this, the drunk man couldn't help but glance at Big Yellow’s tail.

The latter suddenly jumped up as if something had poked it, and it rushed towards the drunk man with a roar, "What are you looking at, what are you looking at?! Aren't you afraid of blinding your eyes?"

Facing the crazy big yellow dog, the drunk man unceremoniously fled...

Only Qing Ying was left.

She thought for a moment, raised her hand and made a gesture, then said. "How many people from Fog Obscured Alms are training in Dark Hidden Purgatory now?"

Soon, an old voice sounded from the void, "Miss, for the past ten thousand years, two-hundred and thirty-seven quasi-Emperors have left and a hundred and fifty-four quasi-Emperors have entered. Among those who have entered in these years, there are nineteen supreme quasi-Emperors..."

"Good, good."

Qing Ying was relieved after hearing that. As long as there were people in the Dark Hidden Purgatory, Lin Xun didn’t have to worry about not being able to find out some information related to it after entering there for training

As the core of Fog Obscured Alms, every once in a while experts from their organization who had extremely outstanding performances would be selected to enter the Dark Hidden Purgatory for training.

Those who were able to come out of Dark Hidden Purgatory alive all had their strengths undergo rapid transformations.

Of note, these experts all held a life-saving talisman and could only train in the first three layers of the Dark Hidden Purgatory. If they encountered fatal danger, they would be immediately transported out.

However, Lin Xun’s situation was different; he did not have a life-saving talisman!

This was due to the directive of the Lord of Copper Sparrow House as he only wanted Lin Xun to rely on his own combat power to survive.

This in itself seemed extremely cruel.

After all, out of all of the experts from Copper Sparrow House and Fog Obscured Alms, only the Lord of Copper Sparrow House had entered the Dark Hidden Purgatory without a life-saving talisman.

He was also the only one who had managed to fight his way to the ninth layer!

Most of the other experts stopped at the first three layers. There were also experts who went below the third layer, but that number was extremely small.

For example, Big Yellow had once battled its way to the seventh layer!

Now, Lin Xun also entered the Dark Hidden Purgatory without a life-saving talisman. Could he prove his dao there?

Qing Ying wasn’t sure, so the only thing she was worried about now was whether Lin Xun would have an accident...

...

Dark Hidden Purgatory, the first level.

The sky and the earth were turbid, the void was filled with a dark red light, and the tragic and bloody murderous aura was like a wanton wind, howling everywhere.

This place was extremely vast, just like a real purgatory world.

Swish!

As soon as Lin Xun appeared, he felt a tremendous pressure shrouding him, causing him to stumble lightly, as if he was suddenly carrying a huge mountain!

If an ordinary person had ended up here, they would have been crushed by the ubiquitous pressure, and their body and soul would have been wiped out.

"This kind of power is enough to make it difficult for a Saint-King to move..."

Lin Xun took a deep breath, and as the power around him circulated, the tremendous pressure was immediately offset and resolved.

Boom~~

Before Lin Xun could continue to look around the first layer of the Dark Hidden Purgatory, the earth shook, and a violent roar came from afar. It sounded as if thousands of troops were rushing over at an astonishing speed.

At the same time, a strong, brutal, and fierce aura also surged in, covering the sky and the earth. Faintly, he could hear a burst of extremely piercing screams.

Lin Xun's dark eyes flickered.
