More than a hundred years ago, the Netherworld Ruins world was not a wasteland.
There are countless underworld cultivators living here, the area is fertile, the resources are abundant, and even the underworld royal family has been elected.
However, there was constant friction between the Nether Royal Family and the Heaven Realm, and they accumulated countless grievances. Finally, a great war began.
There are four deities in heaven.
The Three Heavenly Lords claimed to be the guardians of the heavens and were unwilling to intervene in the war, choosing to sit on the sidelines.
The place where the war broke out was the northern border where Lin Xiao was located, so he had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility for this battle.
As for the unifier of the Netherworld Ruins Realm, it is the Queen of the Netherworld Royal Clan—Leng Xinyue.
Although she is a woman, Leng Xinyue's cultivation level is not low at all, and she has already reached half-step to the realm of Heavenly Lord.
At the same time, she also controls the Nine Netherworld Fire, is talented and strategic, and is good at strategizing.
This battle lasted for several years.
After countless battles, Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue faced each other many times, and both sides had their own wins and losses.
In an encounter, Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue fought fiercely over Jiuchongyuan.
Just when the winner was about to be decided, a strange movement broke out in the Nine Abyss, and the strong wind swept across, dragging the two into the Ninth Abyss.
The ninth abyss is a world of darkness.
There are countless strange beasts and endless killings.
It may be calm at one moment, but killings may break out the next moment. Moreover, this place is extremely strange, which can greatly limit the strength of Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue.
In order to survive, the two had to make a temporary truce and struggled to find a way to leave Jiuchongyuan.
This search lasted two years.
In the past two years, the relationship between Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue became close, and the two helped and cooperated with each other.
Gradually, Lin Xiao understood Leng Xinyue's difficulties, and Leng Xinyue also learned about Lin Xiao's personality.
Therefore, the two of them put aside all their prejudices and made an agreement that as long as they left Jiuchongyuan, they would withdraw the war order and end the fierce battle between the heaven world and the Netherworld Ruins world.
At the same time, they also developed a good impression of each other!
Especially Leng Xinyue.
Being free-spirited by nature, she expressed her emotions directly to Lin Xiao without any reservation.
At that time, Lin Xiao was confused, hemming and hawing, and never answered.
Leng Xinyue didn't press any questions, just laughed it off and buried the matter deep in her heart.
It didn't take long for the two of them to find a way to leave the Nine Layers Abyss, and made all preparations to break through the abyss in one fell swoop.
During this period, the two of them endured endless strong winds. Even Lin Xiao was unable to withstand it, and countless blood marks appeared all over his body.
As for Leng Xinyue, she has already reached her limit and will die anytime and anywhere.
In order to let Leng Xinyue hold on, Lin Xiao hugged her and braved the strong wind. While moving forward, he spoke, so that Leng Xinyue could hold on to the last bit of her sanity.
At that time, Lin Xiao finally answered.
He hugged Leng Xinyue tightly and said firmly: "I also have a good impression of you, and I have feelings for you."
"I can promise you that as long as I am here, I will protect you and prevent you from any harm."
"As long as I can leave Jiuchongyuan, I will personally go to the Netherworld Palace to make you my woman!"
Every word came from Lin Xiao's sincerity and reached Leng Xinyue's ears, making her smile tenderly.
It was precisely because of these words that Leng Xinyue survived.
The two of them finally left Jiuzhongyuan and successfully returned to heaven with their seriously injured bodies.
However, as soon as the two escaped, a celestial army discovered Leng Xinyue.
Although Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue were trapped for two years, the war between the Heaven Realm and the Netherworld Ruins Realm did not end. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and it could be said that it would never end.
The army recognized Lin Xiao and Leng Xinyue, and directly deployed the Ancient Formation of All Heavens and Earth, surrounding Leng Xinyue, and wanted to kill her on the spot.
Before Lin Xiao could say anything, the ancient formation was activated, and the terrifying aura of killing completely filled the world.
At this moment, the army from the Netherworld Ruins Realm also appeared in Jiuchongyuan, and a bloody battle broke out between the two sides.
In the end, Leng Xinyue was rescued, and Lin Xiao fell into a coma due to serious injuries.
When he closed his eyes, he saw Leng Xinyue's eyes.
Those dark eyes no longer had the boldness of the past, but only contained doubt, resentment, and even hatred!
A few days later, Lin Xiao woke up.
The first thing he did when he woke up was to go to the Netherworld Ruins Realm to explain to Leng Xinyue.
However, bad news suddenly came.
According to rumors, after Leng Xinyue returned to the Netherworld Ruins, she was depressed and silent all day long, which led to her becoming possessed.
She lost all reason.
Not only did he kill the Netherworld royal family with his own hands, but he also chose to commit suicide on the throne.
As soon as this incident came out, the battle between the Heaven Realm and the Netherworld Ruins Realm was pushed to the forefront.
Five years later, the war finally ended.
The Heaven Realm wins, and the Netherworld Ruins Realm loses.
The Netherworld Ruins Realm of the past has turned into a wasteland, sparsely populated and no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Lin Xiao always kept this matter deep in his heart and did not tell anyone.
He knew that this matter had become a demon in his heart!
Moreover, it is still an inner demon that can never be let go!
Jiuchongyuan, on the cliff.
Lin Xiao had already walked in front of Leng Xinyue, opened his hands and hugged her tightly.
Leng Xinyue also opened her hands.
The two of them were holding each other like this, as if they were back in the Nine Layers Abyss, in a dangerous situation where the strong wind was biting.
At this time, everything around him suddenly disappeared.
The Ancient Formation of Punishing the Heavens and Destroying the Earth, tens of thousands of powerful men from the heavens, Jiuzhongyuan, and even Leng Xinyue.
Everything disappeared without a trace.
The entire space became chaotic again.
However, Lin Xiao still stood there, with his hands in a hug shape, and his eyes were so empty that they lacked any brilliance.
At the same time, in the far away sword pavilion.
Gu Xiao, dressed in gray, is sitting cross-legged in the void, swallowing the thunder of heaven and earth without stopping.
"Um?"
Without any warning, Gu Xiao's expression suddenly changed, he opened his mouth and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
His body fell powerlessly, smashing through the house and hitting the ground hard.
"No, Lin Xiao failed to cross the tribulation. He has completely lost himself and will never be able to leave!" Gu Xiao covered his chest with a look of reluctance on his face.
Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do at this moment.
The divine calamity is invisible and descends into the deepest part of the soul.
Even if he is derived from Lin Xiao's soul, he cannot stop him, let alone enter the inner demon tribulation.
…
Deep in the Holy Land of Fighting, inside an underground palace.
Here, there is a blood-colored cage suspended. There are countless formations around the cage, exuding a rich aura.
Bei Gongxue, dressed in white, was imprisoned in a cage, her body was restrained, and she could not move even half a minute.
At this time, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She didn't know why, but she felt a wave of sadness coming over her, and she made a slight choking sound in her mouth.
What's even more weird is that on that flawless face, a drop of crystal tears quietly slipped down.
