CHAPTER 442: CHAPTER 289: DEVOURING THE NETHER RIVER, ROAD OF THE YELLOW SPRINGS_3

It seemed as if the source of their power, some foundation they believed in and relied on, was experiencing unprecedented upheaval and erosion.

This turmoil originating from the roots of the Extraordinary Path clearly and unmistakably reflected in every Transcendent of the Path of the Dead, making their minds uneasy, and even causing temporary disruption in their power.

Within the small world of the Underworld, the Nether River was roaring madly, struggling fiercely. Countless marks of the dead, shattered souls, and even lingering shadows of the concept of demise, which had sunk into its illusory waters over the years, were driven by the river’s instincts at this moment, turning into monstrous waves attempting to overturn the heavens that dared to desecrate its existence.

The grayish waters and the turbid Water of the Underworld collided violently, erupting into a silent yet heart-stopping confrontation at the level of rules.

However, this was the Underworld, a place shrouded by the order of the All Heavens Divine Court!

No matter how the Nether River struggled, no matter how the billions of dead remains roared, under the absolute majesty of the Divine Court’s order, all resistance seemed so futile.

The Water of the Underworld relentlessly washed, permeated, and devoured every inch of the river, erasing the will to resist and the marks of the dead contained within.

Gradually, the once tumultuous Nether River showed less and less movement in its struggle.

Ultimately, under the continuous devouring of the Water of the Underworld and the absolute suppression of the Divine Court’s order, this illusory long river that had flowed for countless eras gradually settled into silence.

Within the small world of the Underworld, the turbid Water of the Underworld, representing twilight and end times, and the dark Nether River, symbolizing the return of death and boundaries, began a true integration and fusion.

The two rivers, harboring different concepts of death, intertwined like two enormous dragons, permeating and blending with each other.

Colors of dusk and darkness dyed each other, and ultimately the long river spanning the Underworld lands became deeper, more indescribable, as if containing all mysteries of ending and desolation in the universe.

The rule of end times represented by the Water of the Underworld grew increasingly heavy and magnificent after devouring the Nether River, as if even time could decay and wither before it.

And as the Water of the Underworld completely devoured and assimilated the Nether River, an unavoidable outcome materialized: the foundation upon which the Path of the Dead rested was thoroughly shaken and collapsed.

In the real world, all Transcendents of the Path of the Dead, regardless of location or sequence, felt at this moment their extraordinary characteristics within them becoming unstable at unprecedented speed, even beginning to dissipate.

Their connection with the path’s origin was forcibly severed, as if the invisible pillar supporting their power system was crumbling loudly.

Panic! Despair!

As if apocalyptic fear suddenly seized the mind of every Transcendent on the Path of the Dead.

Their proud power was leaving them, the foundation of their existence was being erased, a conclusion more terrifying than death.

Yet just as the Path of the Dead was about to completely collapse, with all related Transcendents facing power out of control, possibly even immediate downfall, Lu Yan, who had been quietly observing all this, finally acted.

He had timed it perfectly.

At this moment, all high-ranking powerful figures of the Path of the Dead, including all Sequence 4 Nether River Walkers and above, as well as the Sequence 3 Ferryman, speaker of the dead, had already been annihilated in the previous Tomb of the Dead battle.

This meant that within the Path of the Dead, no one had reached the Human Saint level anymore, let alone touched the path’s root as higher-sequence beings.

This left the whole Path of the Dead in an unprecedented state of leaderless chaos, with resistance to root change at its lowest point.

The Dao Golden Core within him blossomed divine light, and the Supreme Great Divine Techniques for Creation and Transformation were fully activated by him.

Invisible power transcended the restrictions of space and time, directly acting on the rule level of the Mysterious World.

Under the action of Creation and Transformation, the imprint representing the Path of the Dead, originally engraved on the world’s rules, began to blur and distort.

Then, as if gently erased by an invisible giant hand.

But this was not complete destruction.

As the imprint of the Path of the Dead disappeared, a brand-new Extraordinary Path imprint was forcibly inscribed in place by Creation and Transformation.

Moreover, this new path perfectly inherited all the characteristics and power systems from Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 of the original Path of the Dead, as if the two were one.

This new extraordinary path is named: Yellow Springs!
