As the cold night wind blew, Ksitigarbha's figure slowly sank into the hard soil from the soles of his feet like a ghost. It was as if he had sunk into a quagmire.
In the dark and cold soil, Ksitigarbha's body was like a fish in water. There seemed to be a layer of sticky film around his body. He swam into the depths of the soil with his eyes open. All the rocks and ice crystals (a kind of metal in the soil) were like transparent bubbles in front of his body. He easily passed through them.
Soon, he came in front of a huge dark blue crystal. In the dark and cold soil, the crystal looked like a brilliant round egg. There were many fine diamond-shaped sections on the surface, emitting a soft blue light. Nothing could be seen inside the crystal.
Although Ksitigarbha was powerful, he was not careless. He turned his body like a small black snake, circling around the huge dark blue crystal. He found that the crystal was extremely large, about one kilometer in diameter. He stopped and looked at the huge crystal in front of him, carefully examining it.
"Oh Tzanshe, Tzanshe, I didn't expect you to be so noisy even after death. You even left me such a difficult problem. If I'm not wrong, this crystal should be the Ancient God-Sealing Crystal. This thing's hardness is comparable to a Void Artifact. This move of yours is really ruthless."
Ksitigarbha looked at the huge crystal sleeping 1.5 light-years under the Rock God Mountain. His dagger-like sharp black eyebrows slightly furrowed. "You should have set up the Magic Sealing System and the God-Sealing System on it. These two systems are quite complicated to make. It seems that you really want to defend it at all costs …"
He licked his lips gently, and his eyes flashed with a different kind of light. "If I didn't get this, it would be a little difficult to crack this thing of yours …" He smiled and gently raised his hand as if he was holding a feather. He slowly opened his palm, and a wisp of black light bloomed from his palm like an aurora. Then, it rose like a black fog and slowly stopped when it reached a height of two feet. The black fog quickly shrank like a tide and light, revealing the thing inside.
It was a dagger. The body and handle of the dagger were pitch black, as if they were forged with the blackest black iron. The surface was so black that it did not shine. Instead, it looked like a giant beast that could swallow all light. There were no engravings or other things on it. It was just pure black!
"You probably didn't expect that the Sky-Killing Dagger would fall into my hands, did you?"
The smile on Ksitigarbha's face grew even wider. He gripped the dagger in a reverse grip, raised a finger to his lips, and quickly chanted a long string of strange words in a low voice. Then, with a loud roar, his body turned into a streak of black light, and crashed into the huge dark blue crystal.
"Ding —"
Like the sound of water droplets penetrating glass, the hard and huge dark blue crystal made a haggard sound. The dagger in Ksitigarbha's hand fiercely pierced the crystal. The sharp tip of the dagger pierced the crystal like a balloon. The entire huge dark blue crystal seemed to have cracked. With the dagger as the center, numerous fragmented wounds appeared, quickly covering the entire huge crystal.
"Bang —"
The huge hard crystal suddenly burst open. Just as the corners of Ksitigarbha's mouth curled into a smile, a golden light suddenly flashed from inside. It was like an angry dragon roaring as it fiercely slammed into him.
Ksitigarbha's pupils shrank suddenly. His body could not dodge in time. In the impact of the golden light, his body was like an angel with broken wings. He was thrown back heavily.
Strangely, the golden light and his body seemed to be air. They could completely ignore the underground soil and rocks, as if they were flying freely in the air.
This golden light pressed against Ksitigarbha's chest, pushing him tens of thousands of meters away. When this golden light dissipated, Ksitigarbha didn't even have time to catch his breath before a black light was reflected in his eyes. It was like an ice-cold knife that ruthlessly slammed into him, enveloping his entire body as if it wanted to tear him into countless pieces!
"God Forbidding System, Demon Sealing System …" Ksitigarbha roared angrily. Finally, he was gradually submerged by the black light and swallowed.

The Divine Land of Heaven, the underground world.
Ye Chen stood there, sweating profusely. His clothes were all wet with sweat. The muscles in his arms twitched slightly because of the excessive force. Beside him, Nuwa was in the same situation. This beautiful woman leaned against a big rock. Her beautiful red lips were slightly open, and she breathed out fragrant breaths. Her misty watery eyes were filled with unconcealable tiredness. In this tiredness, there was a smile and joy that could be seen after the rain.
The two of them looked at the Great God Pangu in front of them, only to see him sitting motionlessly like a small hill. The muscles on his chest opened like a gate, and there were a few blood-like metal tubes inside. These tubes were like sticky living things, twisting and binding a small figure — the Red Baguette child.
At this moment, the little red bag child's small body was covered with small wounds. Fresh blood dyed his entire body red. These wounds seemed to have been cut open by sharp daggers. They were not enough to be fatal, but they continued to bleed and were very difficult to heal. Even the red bag child's cute face had over a hundred wounds cut open in a disorderly manner. His flesh was badly mangled and dripping with blood.
These blood-like tubes were like hearts. They tightened and loosened. There was a trace of blood energy on them. It flowed along the Red Bag child's body into the tubes, and then floated into the Great God Pangu's body.
Under the replenishment of these tiny blood threads, Pangu's face gradually became ruddy. Two beams of light burst out from his eyes. He gave a deep roar. The blood-like tubes tightened and tightened, tightly binding the Red Bag child. At this moment, the Red Bag child seemed to have fainted. Under such a strong binding, his body twitched slightly, and he let out a slight groan of pain.
Slowly, under Pangu's devouring, the Red Bag child's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. His warm and white skin was like withered weeds. There were layers of wrinkles, like a dried corpse that had lost its moisture. Soon, only a thin skin wrapped around the skeleton was left. It looked gloomy and terrifying.
His hair and pupils lost their luster. His hair turned snow-white. Fluttering in the breeze, his hair drifted down, and he became bald in an instant. His eyes were deeply sunken. His eyeballs shriveled up like two longan cores, with layers of wrinkles. The tubes that connected the retina and the nervous system behind the eyeballs lost their elasticity and tension and broke. Two eyeballs rolled out of his eye sockets, fell on the hard ground, and flattened.
The blood-like tubes tightened and tightened, tightening the Red Bag child's body. They didn't loosen the body until the last bit of energy was drained. They let the body fall from the sky. The blood-like tubes shrank into Pangu's chest, and the floodgate-like metal chest slowly closed.
The corpse fell to the ground with the crisp sound of bones breaking. Then, it turned into a pile of grayish-white bone foam. There were a few pieces of broken and shriveled skin on it, like a thin rag, covering the ashes in a dirty manner.
In the dark space, Ye Chen and Nuwa stood aside silently. They saw a green light flash across Pangu's eyes, which were spinning like wheels. He slowly stood up, looking at Ye Chen and Nuwa, who were tiny by his feet. His voice was happy and relaxed. "My energy has recovered by ninety-two percent. Thanks to you two."
Nuwa had almost recovered. She curved her lips in an elegant smile, stood up straight, and looked up at Pangu. "This is nothing. Ye Chen contributed the most this time. He activated the self-detonation technique and burst out a lot of life force."
Ye Chen still felt a little weak in his limbs, but he wasn't that weak anymore. He smiled and shook his head. "Don't say that. To contribute to the clan, this little bit of life force is nothing."
Pangu quietly looked at them for a while. Suddenly, he sensed something. He raised his head, his eyes shining like sharp swords. "Enemy attack!"
"What?" Nuwa was startled.
"Tremendous energy waves are coming from it, floating above the entire Divine Land … This, this energy …" Pan Gu's pupils shrank to the size of a needle. His cold and resolute face showed a frightened expression as he said, "It's, it's a monster!"
Ye Chen was a little shocked. He also felt that there was an incredible energy outside. It was as powerful as a boundless ocean, rolling and swallowing everything in its path ….

Rock God Mountain, underground.
"Cough, cough..." Ksitigarbha covered his chest with his hand and coughed violently. His body trembled slightly as he coughed. He suddenly coughed up a mouthful of sticky blood. A red light flashed in his eyes, and the sticky blood automatically burned and evaporated.
"Motherf * cker!"
Ksitigarbha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed like a shrew. "PaleSnow, you f * cker... You even added Virtual Sky Pattern in these two systems. You want to kill me!"
He was so engrossed in cursing that he forgot that the other party didn't just want to kill him, but simply wanted to tear him into pieces.
Ksitigarbha cursed and swore as he nursed his injuries. He walked to the edge of the broken crystal fragment and saw a snow-white palace-like building. The ice crystal floor was like a snow mirror, reflecting the cold light and his figure.
At the end of his line of sight, there was a round altar that looked like an altar. Around it were twelve crystal pillars that looked like they were made of ice and snow. Each of them had fine carvings on them, and in the center of the crystal pillars, there was a snow-white crystal coffin that looked like it was carved out of jade and ice!
