Chapter 1486: The Stairs

“Quick, suppress the causality now! We can’t let that black line get into it!” The two Underworld chaotic saints froze in shock.

Without hesitation, the two Underworld powerful beings tore through space and fled far away.

Protecting their own causality was far more important than dealing with the human race’s subordinate tribes.

“What a shame they ran off. I wanted to see how effective that move was,” Ah Da said, sounding disappointed.

“That’s simple. Just ask Lord Grape.”

As soon as those words were spoken, a light curtain appeared in front of Ah Da.

It showed the images of the two Underworld powerful beings.

Their faces were twisted with despair.

The black line, a symbol of ominous fortune, had not only invaded their causality but had also seeped into their very fate.

Soon, their eyes grew vacant and unfocused.

Vaguely, they found themselves seated at a massive dining table.

Across from them sat someone they loved deeply from the Underworld Clan.

The table was laden with all sorts of repulsive things that their clan despised.

Just the smell alone was enough to make their souls shudder, let alone the thought of eating any of it.

The Underworld powerful beings stared in horror at their beloved, who stood opposite them.

“Come, my dear, it’s time to eat.”

“This is the waste of the Holy Light Clan. I’m sure you’ll love it.”

An overwhelming force compelled the Underworld powerful being to slowly open his mouth.

The beloved across the table picked up a plate, scooped a large spoonful, and began feeding it to him.

As the spoonful of Holy Light Clan waste went down, the Underworld powerful being felt his entire soul being tainted.

Once the first plate was finished, the beloved picked up a second one.

“This is the waste of the stinky beasts from our territory. I think you’ll enjoy this too.”

After taking a bite themselves, they scooped another spoonful and fed it to the Underworld powerful being.

The table held 18 dishes, each one pushing the Underworld powerful beings to their absolute limits.

With their souls trembling in agony, they finally finished the meal.

Just as they thought the torment was over, their chaotic Holy Souls were suddenly wracked with a tearing sensation.

The two Underworld powerful beings began to scream uncontrollably.

At that moment, it was as if demons were whispering within their chaotic Holy Souls.

“Go touch your kin’s bodies, and your pain, your dinner, will ease.”

An hour later, the two Underworld powerful beings returned to normal.

But just when they thought they were safe, after 12 hours, the pain came crashing back.

The pain and nausea on a spiritual level doubled.

After that suffering ended, the voice of the demon from hell echoed once more.

“Pass the pain to others, and you will feel relief!”

Then, the two chaotic saints from the Underworld finally couldn’t hold back and returned to the Underworld Clan’s territory.

They quickly found a few clan members to pass the pain to them.

Thus, a special kind of spiritual pollution began to spread within the Underworld Clan.

In the Underworld’s main world, Second Holy sat high above, looking coldly at the chaotic Great Saints below.

“You are masters of time, causality, fate, and curses…

Together, you can’t even handle such a small problem.”

“Now, at least hundreds of thousands within the clan have been infected; according to your methods, you want each chaotic Great Saint to personally remove it one by one.”

“If the other Holy Clans find out, won’t our clan become a joke?”

“This issue must be resolved; otherwise, return to the Heavenly Underworld Pool.”

A fury from the Holy Lord pressed down on everyone in the Underworld Clan.

At this time, within the Hidden Spirit Sect,

Xu Fan listened to Grape’s report with a broad smile.

After Zhou Kailing’s relentless efforts, the batch of Underworld beings responsible for sowing spiritual pollution in the human race could no longer withstand the infection of ominous fortune and returned to their sect seeking a solution.

A spatial fluctuation occurred as Zhou Kailing appeared in the courtyard.

“Master, how is my divine technique design?” Zhou Kailing asked eagerly.

“Very good; this supreme divine technique shows great maturity in your thinking.”

“That ominous fortune hides within those chaotic Holy Souls of the Underworld beings in a way I could not have imagined.”

“Even if it is completely removed from fate, as long as that ominous fortune exists, they could relapse at any moment,” Xu Fan said with satisfaction.

His good disciple’s research into divine techniques brought him some concern.

“Thank you for the praise, Master; I will continue to work hard!”

Encouraged, Zhou Kailing felt invigorated.

Even the black shadow behind her, representing ominous fortune, seemed to perk up.

At that moment, a pair of Youming’s Eyes suddenly appeared above the Hidden Spirit Sect.

“Human race, great tactics!”

Looking at the unfamiliar Youming’s Eyes, Xu Fan realized they belonged to the Underworld’s Second Holy.

“Second Holy, the feeling is mutual. It would be impolite not to return the visit.”

“Why hasn’t your leader come? It’s been a long time; I truly miss him,” Xu Fan said with a grin.

Compared to the spiritual pollution of the human race, the ominous fortune infecting the Underworld Clan had already begun to impact the entire clan’s operations.

“Remove that strange divine technique,” the Underworld’s Second Holy said coldly.

“On what grounds?” Xu Fan replied with a slight smirk.

Just then, three pairs of eyes appeared suddenly at the entrance of the Hidden Spirit Sect, coldly staring at the Underworld’s Second Holy.

“Second Holy, if your techniques are inferior, there’s no need to pressure others; it’s not honorable,” the voice of the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan rang out.

“Yes, during a game, it seems a bit underhanded for you to overturn the table,” the leader of the Holy Light Empire added.

“Indeed, be careful we might take the opportunity while your leader is absent to bring justice for the human race,” said the last voice.

The Second Holy simply glanced coldly at the three Holy Lords, then shifted his gaze back to Xu Fan.

“I’ve come to negotiate; how about we set aside our grievances?” the Second Holy said.

“Not at all. Your clan has targeted mine for such a long time; do you think saying to let it go would suffice?”

“Here’s what I propose: give me a Supreme Divine Artifact, and we can settle it.” Xu Fan said with a grin.

“Holy Lord of the human race, I hope you can provide me this opportunity again in the future,” the Second Holy said, and his clear eyes faded from existence.

At this moment, the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan looked thoughtfully at Zhou Kailing, who stood next to Xu Fan.

The other two Holy Lords also noticed her.

“Holy Lord Xu, your human race really does produce exceptional talents.”

“You’ve created a complete chaotic wide road and have even derived supreme intent; it’s impressive, truly impressive,” the Holy Lord of the Heavenly Merchant Clan praised.

“It’s just a small path; it hardly compares to those of you Holy Lords,” Xu Fan laughed.

At this time, the Holy Lord of the Lingxi Tribe spoke up.

“Holy Lord Xu, how about a deal? If our two clans have any friction in the future, please do not use such methods against my Lingxi tribe.”

“Nor should you use such tactics against the beings in my Holy Light Empire.”

“If there truly is a conflict, let’s fight openly and honestly.”
