Ye Xiu and Jun Bugu had already grasped the technique when they crossed that mysterious circular gate. This time, as soon as he rushed through the doorway, Ye Xiu used the Sky-Scorn Sword to fend off the attacks of two shadowy figures.

Jun Bugu flicked his wrist and quickly located the position of the red gem socket as the disc rotated. At that moment, flames erupted from within the door, instantly dragging the two into the blaze.

“Wahaha! Finally back in the Land of Flames.” Jun Bugu laughed as he stepped onto the ground.

Where there were flames, there was happiness for the Death Gods. “Another city?

Is this whole place burned down by fire?” The moment Ye Xiu set foot inside the city, he felt a sense of familiarity. The streets here resembled those of Desolate Bone City, with the only difference being that every street was ablaze.

“Kill!” A clamor suddenly rose from the surrounding alleys. As houses collapsed, a crowd wielding bone longswords clashed violently with several figures clad in black.

The black-clad men launched continuous fiery blasts from their hands in all directions, shouting, “Huha!” “It’s the Death Gods!” Ye Xiu had witnessed scenes like this long ago in the Lake Light Celestial Cave. If he guessed correctly, this must be the scene of the Death Gods’ invasion of the Netherworld in ancient times, meaning this was Desolate Bone City amidst the flames of war.

“Let’s go see what’s happening up ahead. I remember there’s a plaza there!” “Hey, wait for me.” Jun Bugu wasn't slow either.

The two, unafraid of the flames, sprinted forward, one behind the other, toward the plaza of Desolate Bone City. “I seem to remember this scene too, but… but it gets blurry every time I try to recall it.” “Just as I thought, look!” Ye Xiu leaped onto a rooftop and pointed toward the scene in the plaza, chuckling, “This is the moment when the Death Nether King invaded back then.

Take a look.” Jun Bugu looked in the direction Ye Xiu was pointing. On the plaza, a figure stood majestically atop a mountain of myriad corpses.

The figure appeared as a silhouette, his flames almost illuminating the entire Desolate Bone City: “Another Death God. Look at the fire in his hand.” The Nether King slowly rotated atop the pile of bones, constantly besieged by attackers from the Bone Sect.

The longer he stood, the braver and almost invincible he became: “Hahahaha, ahahahaha!” “Dong…” At this moment, a figure descended from the sky, a woman’s silhouette passing through the Nether King to land before him. A shield of white light enveloped her body, and her white robes and graceful figure betrayed her identity: the Myriad Demon Empress.

“This is it. The Death Nether King was about to conquer Desolate Bone City, but something went wrong in the middle—it must be right here!” Ye Xiu, highly excited, slid down and also landed atop the pile of bones.

“I must know why!” “Ye Xiu, be careful…” Jun Bugu followed Ye Xiu and jumped onto the bone pile. Only then did he realize that everyone in this scene was merely an illusion; only the corpses were real.

“This…” The Nether King, backlit, slowly lowered his body, his voice magnetic: “You took the Death Realm Essence from within me?” The Myriad Demon Empress turned around, the blood-red radiance in her hand shining brighter than the surrounding flames: “If I told you everything I did was for the Death Realm, would you believe me?” The Nether King didn't concern himself with the Myriad Demon Empress; the flames in his hands had clearly diminished significantly: “I understand what you intend to do, but I only want to tell you that the future of the Death Realm is something no one can predict or control.” “What if I can?” The Myriad Demon Empress floated down to the ground, as at that moment, a figure the color of crimson maple burst forth from the flames. That fellow held the Maple Sword, enveloped in a sphere of blue energy, and descended onto the bone pile.

“Jun Bugu… You… Look at that person!” Ye Xiu was very close and almost choked up when he saw the cold, stern face of that fellow. “How can this be…” “This person is…” As Jun Bugu drew nearer, he instantly froze, clutching his head and roaring, stirring up all the surrounding bones.

“Swoosh…” The Nether King jumped swiftly to evade a strike from the Maple Sword. He flipped and unleashed a palm strike, filling the sky with a Dragon of Flame.

At that moment, the fire dragon descended, all targeting the newcomer: “Mysterious power. Could this be the legendary Demon Realm Primal Embryo?” Ye Xiu observed the Nether King’s attack, then looked at the newcomer.

Indeed! That maple-colored figure bore little difference from the guy standing next to him.

That person was Jun Bugu. “Did the Demon Realm Primal Embryo enter the Netherworld back then, thus gestating this Jun Bugu?” “Boom-clatter!” Although that Jun Bugu possessed the power of the Demon Realm, when facing an entity as divine as the Nether King, he could only kneel and beg for mercy.

The countless flames pierced through his body. Before he could even unleash a single move, he was struck down beneath the pile of bones.

“How can it be me? How could it be me!” Jun Bugu collapsed weakly onto the bone pile, the viscous blood coating his entire body, making him deeply uncomfortable.

The Jun Bugu who had been severely wounded by the Nether King had no chance of survival. He struggled to crawl through the raging flames, and before him stood the woman who remained unmoved by history—the Myriad Demon Empress.

“Demon Realm Primal Embryo?” The Myriad Demon Empress’s eyes lit up, and she instantly discerned the life story of this Jun Bugu. When she saw the Demon Realm Primal Embryo entering the Netherworld and fusing with the power of the Fox Spirit, she began to take a keen interest in this fellow.

“The Demon Realm Primal Embryo sought out the Fox Spirit of the Netherworld and merged with its power. How astonishing?” The Nether King watched the Myriad Demon Empress coldly, clenching his fists, showing no emotion regarding the current state of this world: “Netherworld, Bone Sect.

Only I, the Flame lineage Death God, possess the strength to dominate all of this.” The Myriad Demon Empress raised her arm and cast the Death Realm Essence in her palm into the body of Jun Bugu. At that moment, all the flames in the world extinguished, burning instead within Jun Bugu: “Try fusing the power of these three together?” “Waaah!

Waaah…” Jun Bugu clutched his chest, struggling in pain, but the more he struggled, the fiercer the inner rage burned. “No…” “You want him to possess the power of a Death God?” The Nether King glanced dismissively at Jun Bugu.

His goal was the highest point of Desolate Bone City, and to destroy the entire Netherworld. “The supreme power of the Death God cannot be obtained merely through ordinary essence transplantation!” Watching the Myriad Demon Empress’s actions, Ye Xiu couldn't help but think of his own body.

A body integrating multiple different powers is called a Strange-Born Body; if it involves three powers, it’s a Triple-Transformed Strange-Born Body. This meant that Jun Bugu, like his past self, was also a Triple-Transformed Strange-Born Body.

“Wuwu…” The crimson color of the flames had already stained Jun Bugu’s entire skin. The bright light suddenly shifted, whisking him away to some unknown location.

The Myriad Demon Empress watched Jun Bugu vanish, let out a soft smile, and also disappeared from the scene. “Ah-hu… Ah-hu…” Jun Bugu looked at his experience, and his expression began to contort uncontrollably.

He breathed heavily, fear and relief mingling paradoxically within him. Ye Xiu hastily jumped over and helped Jun Bugu up.

He carefully examined him and saw his meridians bulging, a sight as terrifying as when Yan Shangcheng went berserk previously. “Jun Bugu, what’s wrong?” “I remember!

I remember everything!” Jun Bugu’s limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, his gaze constantly fixed upward, as if on the verge of death. “I know who he is, I know who I am!” “Hey!” Ye Xiu tried to hold Jun Bugu back, but the power surging from him at that moment was immense.

Even exerting all his strength, he was thrown back. “Waaah!” “Wahaha ha, I remember!” Jun Bugu now held the Ultimate Blade and leaped towards the heavens.

When he descended back to the ground, he plunged the blade into the pile of bones. With a roar, the countless dragon tails on the hilt of the Ultimate Blade reappeared, smashing everything in the plaza into dust.

“Damn it!” Ye Xiu’s mind reeled, and he was knocked to his knees in the plaza by this inexplicable force. He desperately used the Sky-Scorn Sword to defend himself, yet black blood still oozed out.

This meant Jun Bugu’s strength had increased. “Could it be…” After venting his rage, Jun Bugu looked up.

On his forehead, a blood-colored mark, identical to Yan Shangcheng’s, appeared. The mark flickered incessantly, causing Jun Bugu’s condition to become extremely unstable: “Ye Xiu, run!

I think I’m losing control!” “Is this the Extreme Pulse Celestial Hub the Maiden spoke of?” Ye Xiu had witnessed the awakening of the Mad Pulse Celestial Hub and had some experience dealing with it now. “Put down your blade and don’t use your cultivation.” Following Ye Xiu’s instruction, Jun Bugu slowly let go of the Ultimate Blade.

Only when the flames in the scene settled down again did he collapse onto the ground like a deflated ball: “Hoo… What on earth is this thing?” “I think you have attained the Extreme Pulse Celestial Hub.” Ye Xiu finally recovered and rushed forward to pull Jun Bugu up. “You felt that power just now; it has both advantages and disadvantages for you.

What I want to know is what you remembered?” Jun Bugu sat down on the plaza, feeling as relieved as a child. He waved his hand helplessly: “The Demon Realm Primal Embryo entered the Netherworld.

For some unknown reason, it gestated and left me in the territory of the Fox Spirit Palace. I defeated an ancient Fox Spirit and obtained a portion of its power.” This entire story unfolded exactly as Ye Xiu had hoped: “And then, because of the Myriad Demon Empress, you gained the power of the Death Nether King, which is why I felt you resembled a Death God.

But where did your power as the Demon Realm Primal Embryo and the Fox Spirit power go?” “They were taken away by the other Jun Bugu!” Jun Bugu sounded confused even as he said this, but he was certain of one thing: “That time, the Maiden used some power to draw that guy out of my body, which is why I became the me I am now.”
