Chapter 624 526: Thirteen, Annihilated
BOOM....
At this moment, the Underworld trembled, and everyone in Fengdu City was shocked as they looked toward the Rebirth Pool.
A beam of light shot up into the sky.
They were in the Underworld, a place devoid of sunlight for as long as they could remember, and had not seen such a bright light.
The light illuminated the entire Underworld, and countless people felt their souls transcend at this moment.
Pure energy emerged within the Underworld, and they reached out in amazement, feeling something they had never experienced before.
"What is this? I can feel a vibrant energy spreading within me. I've been a soul body for so many years, and I've never seen this in the Underworld."
"Why is this? My body seems to be undergoing a transformation. There used to be only deathly energy inside me, but now there's life energy. It's simply incredible."
"Look, someone has actually broken through to the thirteenth level!"
...
At this moment.
Beside Zuo Xiaoluo, the former Deputy City Lord of Fengdu City rose into the air uncontrollably.
He sensed the emergence of the Law of Life and simultaneously the Law of Death.
These two Laws were born within the Underworld, instantly propelling him to the Sage Realm.
Meanwhile.
Throughout the entire Fengdu City.
More and more people broke through to the Sage Realm, and without exception, they achieved it through the Power of these two Laws.
Figures floated in the void, their faces filled with surprise.
Unable to suppress the joy on their faces.
"I can't believe I broke through to the Sage Realm at this moment. I'll no longer fear the fierce wind."
"Yes, we've held on for so many years, seemingly without a way out, and just when we're at the end of our rope, Law Fragments appeared and allowed us to break through to the Sage Realm in one go."
"I can tell it's the new Lord of the Underworld who caused all this. Without her, Law Fragments wouldn't have been born in the Underworld."
....
After becoming the Lord of the Underworld, Zuo Xiaoluo finally understood everything.
She finally knew why Clone Thirteen insisted on making her the new Lord of the Underworld.
Because the Underworld, at its core, is just a Little World.
Unlike the New World that Zhao Yi owned, this world came with special rules, like the world of the Treasure Tower Spirit before, filled with the Power of Corrosion.
In this Underworld, it's the Power of Reincarnation.
However, reincarnation alone is not enough. This led to the Underworld's rules being incomplete, making it unable to grow and unable to accommodate too many souls' reincarnations.
Moreover, fierce winds would appear periodically, sweeping over everyone's soul body in the Underworld. Over time, no matter how high their cultivation, they couldn't withstand it.
But breaking through to the Sage Realm is different. Once the level of life is elevated, there's no fear of the fierce wind.
Meanwhile.
The two energies in her hands, after fusing with the Underworld, transformed into the two Laws of Life and Death.
Life and death correspond to reincarnation!
This made the Underworld's rules slightly more complete.
As a result, those stuck at the twelfth level could now break through to the Sage Realm, which was only natural.
But the greatest beneficiary was, of course, Zuo Xiaoluo. At this moment, not only did she become the Lord of the Underworld, but after receiving the Power of the Soul Source from Clone Thirteen, her soul body had grown to resemble a towering giant.
Behind her, an infinitely larger Divine Soul appeared in the Underworld, one that no one could comprehend in its entirety.
If looked at closely, it would be astonishing to discover that it was Zuo Xiaoluo's soul body.
As her body moved slightly, the enormous soul body also slightly adjusted its position.
RUMBLE...
Merely this small movement caused what seemed like a man-made, intense earthquake within the Underworld.
Everyone in Fengdu City felt as if they couldn't stand steady, teetering and swaying.
The Sage Realm cultivators hovering in the void weren't faring much better than ordinary people.
They felt an overwhelming soul pressure that pinned them down, making it hard to breathe.
Someone glanced up at the soul body, their head instantly aching as if they had seen a deity, one that could not be gazed upon directly or desecrated.
Once Zuo Xiaoluo retracted her Divine Soul, they collapsed in sweat, gasping for breath.
"It's truly.... terrifying!"
Someone murmured in fear.
Others realized the situation and hurriedly knelt, bowing toward Zuo Xiaoluo.
"Subordinate pays respects to the Lord of the Underworld!"
"From this day forth, no one in Fengdu City is allowed to fly. Anyone daring to fly will be executed without question!"
The Deputy City Lord quickly spoke, looking at everyone.
Zuo Xiaoluo waved her hand, indicating for them to carry on with their duties. She had merely been feeling her soul body, not expecting it to be so powerful, with a strength equivalent to the Heavenly Dao Will, comparable to the Perfection Level Great Daoist Sage Realm.
While joyful, she couldn't help but feel a bit fearful.
It's fortunate that Clone Thirteen hadn't acted against her before. Given his strength, occupying the opportune moment and setting, she really wouldn't have been his match.
.....
Meanwhile.
Outside the Underworld, the body of Thirteen, which had already been exhausted, suddenly cracked open.
Previously, to combat Zuo Xiaoluo, he had forcibly summoned the Underworld, causing his body to turn wooden.
Not only the flesh and blood but even the internal organs and heart had turned to wood.
Thus, after sending Zuo Xiaoluo into the Underworld, his only hope was for his Clone Lord of the Underworld to kill her.
At that time, once he absorbed the energy of life and death, he could use that energy to regain new life, perhaps even stronger.
But unfortunately.
All his schemes vanished when Clone Thirteen passed on all his Life Source power to Zuo Xiaoluo.
Especially when he sensed that the Underworld had a new master beneath him, he was filled with intense unwillingness on his face.
"How dare you..."
"Why? The Nether Tree was right!"
"Why are those mere ants allowed to be reborn? They're not worth saving!"
"Ugh...."
.....
Thirteen clutched his cracking body in pain. Even though he had turned to wood, the feeling of cracking was like tearing his soul apart, making him wish for death.
Fortunately, the pain didn't last long.
His body slowly turned to sawdust, dispersing into the void.
Opposite him.
The soldiers witnessing Thirteen's transformation showed expressions of excitement.
"It must be General Zuo; she must have done something within that black cage to defeat him!"
"Yes, General Zuo should have appeared by now, so why hasn't she?"
"That black cage is terrifying. Approaching it with our strength is courting death!"
"Huh... General Zuo has lifted the battle formation; my cultivation has returned. Could she be returning?"
...
Just as the words were spoken.
A familiar figure suddenly emerged from the black cage.
