Asura Mad Emperor

```

The person depicted on that scroll was none other than Luo Ling'er!

She was the woman who made Qinchuan embark on the Nine Lives Reincarnation and enter the Immortal Burial Site, not to become an immortal, but to see her once again!

At that moment, Qinchuan's heart was tremendously shocked; a storm of astonishment had long been surging within the depths of his soul.

The nine mysterious scrolls at the Divine Severing Cliff, the people from the Upper Realm frequently meddling in the affairs of the Divine Wilderness Continent, the resurgence of the Netherworld Hall, and now the Netherworld Saintess, had actually brought a scroll with Luo Ling'er's portrait.

This indicated that not only did the other party know that he was the one who had undergone the Nine Lives Reincarnation, but they were also aware of the reason for Qinchuan's practice of Asura Dao Magic and his Nine Lives Reincarnation.

At that moment, Qinchuan shivered uncontrollably; he suddenly felt as if at the end of the heavens, a god's eye was observing his every move, and that everything he did was under the other party's control.

In an instant, it seemed as though a flash of inspiration streaked through the depths of his soul; he desperately tried to grasp it, but ultimately couldn't lay his hands on it.

With eyes as sharp as lightning, Qinchuan's entire demeanour turned fierce in an instant, as he intently stared at the Netherworld Saintess, "Where did you get this scroll, and do you know the person in the painting?"

However, Qinchuan quickly realized, he wouldn't get anything out of the Netherworld Saintess; even she didn't know what was painted on the scroll since the seal had yet to be broken.

"This scroll was entrusted to me by my master, who had predicted that Young Master Qin would be unwilling to collaborate with us. My master said that if you were given this item, you would have no doubts and would collaborate peacefully," said the Netherworld Saintess, pausing briefly before continuing, "It seems my master was truly flawless in his calculation, given that there's something on this scroll that you care deeply about."

"Who is your master?"

Having undergone Nine Lives Reincarnation, Qinchuan had seen all sort sof turmoils, thus swiftly regaining his composure, and asked with a calm demeanor.

At the same time, he pondered whether the old folks in the Mend Heaven Sect, with whom he had mostly interacted, were distracted from their relentless pursuit of the limits of Heavenly Dao to bother sending disciples to stir up the Divine Wilderness Continent.

"If it's none of those old folks from the Mend Heaven Sect, could it be some upstart from the last hundred thousand years?"

"But then, how could such a recent riser know about Luo Ling'er?"

It seemed as if the Netherworld Saintess had seen through Qinchuan's thoughts; her eyes danced, and her posture was graceful and elegant as jade, "Although I was born in the Mend Heaven Sect, my master is not from the Sect. So, Young Master Qin, there's no need for you to guess my master's identity."

"What do you say, Young Master Qin, if you agree to our collaboration, we can work together to break through the Life's Gate within the Life Prohibition Zone, and I will inform you of my master's identity," she said with a dignified air, standing on the shoulder of the cyclops, looking down at Qinchuan, her gaze gentle, as if she had full confidence in his agreement.

However, the next moment, Qinchuan spoke unhurriedly, "And what if I say no?"

Upon hearing this, the expression of the Netherworld Saintess dramatically changed, she looked at Qinchuan, incredulous, "What? You actually refuse me?"

"Since we both hail from the same place, I presume we are both here for that item. You know that if we work together, the chances of obtaining that item would be significantly increased," she argued.

Qinchuan felt a stir in his heart upon hearing the words of the Netherworld Saintess, "Indeed, these people from the Upper Realm have entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb with an objective; I just don't know what is the 'item' she mentioned?"

"Could it be related to the secret hidden behind the Life's Gate?"

Qinchuan thought to himself.

According to rumors, within the Life Prohibition Zone, there lies a Life's Gate, but during his numerous ventures into the secret grounds, Qinchuan had never found the so-called Life's Gate.

```

However, these days Qinchuan had heard that a bronze gate had appeared in the Life Prohibition Zone, and he roughly guessed that this bronze gate must be the legendary Gate of Life.

It seemed from the words of the Netherworld Saintess that they had not yet broken open the bronze gate.

Indeed, the cries of that Netherworld Hall disciple in the city were not accurate but merely lured the many martial artists here.

Moreover.

From her tone, it seemed she knew what treasures lay hidden behind the bronze gate, and they had come for this very reason!

Seeing Qinchuan remaining silent, the Netherworld Saintess took it as his wavering and continued to persuade, "The bronze gate cannot be opened by one person alone, only through our combined efforts can it be breached."

"If we join forces to break open the bronze gate, how shall we deal with that item?" Qinchuan asked calmly, trying to get a half-understanding from her.

"After the bronze gate is opened, I can assure you the first entry. As for our subsequent contest over that item, we can rely on our own abilities then, what do you think?"

"No good!" Qinchuan shook his head, glancing at the numerous martial artists behind her: "I have only four people, but you have many disciples. Who knows if beyond the gate lies a small world where naturally you can find that item first due to your numerical superiority. Young Master Qin suggests that since it is a joint effort by both sides, we should fairly divide that item."

Qinchuan wanted to trick the Netherworld Saintess into revealing more, so he deliberately said this.

"Otherwise, if I help you open the bronze gate and enter without any benefit, wouldn't that be wasted effort?"

"Divide equally?" The Netherworld Saintess was puzzled: "According to the guide, that item is unique, the only one in existence, how can it be divided?"

"What if the guide is wrong?"

Suddenly, a burst of light exploded in the Netherworld Saintess's eyes as she incredulously stared at Qinchuan, not understanding how he could utter such a rebellious and heretical statement: "What? You dare to question... "

She stopped speaking there and abruptly changed the subject: "Do you realize what you are saying?"

A chill crossed Qinchuan's face, as he hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her.

"Blasphemy? The guide?"

Qinchuan pondered in his heart, and suddenly a thought struck him: "The Mend Heaven Sect in the Upper Realm also belongs to the super-tier sects, and all their disciples hold pride in their hearts. To make her so afraid to even rebut, could it be a divine guide left by the gods?"

"If it is indeed about the gods, then I must not miss out!" Qinchuan knew in his heart just how defiant the existence related to the divine intent from ancient times could be.

Seeing that he could not get anything more out of the Netherworld Saintess, Qinchuan suddenly gave her a sinister glance, changed the subject, and slowly said: "Do you know what I hate the most in my life?"

"What?" The Netherworld Saintess was stunned, not understanding why Qinchuan would suddenly ask this.

"Throughout my life, I detest the most those rats that bite in the shadows. Netherworld Hall counts as one, and today your master behind you counts as another," Qinchuan said indifferently.

"You—"

"How audacious, you dare show disrespect towards the master!" the Netherworld Saintess raged, realizing Qinchuan had refused her offer of cooperation. Her expression turned icy, her voice as cold as frost: "If so, you are of no use to this palace, go and die together with these insects."

As her voice fell, the ancient path and the prohibition zone suddenly shone brightly, and eight dazzling divine lights flickered from all directions, soaring into the sky.

A terrifying great formation emerged, within which the Great Dao Rune Patterns surged forward. Above in the sky, calamitous clouds appeared, completely covering the sky. A brutal aura of slaughter burst forth, and in that instant, this realm seemed to have turned into a Human Purgatory, horrifying and appalling.
