Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 2123 - 2112: Netherworld Monarch

The violent whirlwind from the punch created a howling gale, turning the basement into an almost vacuum state.The black fog that had just darkened the sky vanished instantly, leaving Muye dead without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fan had no time to rejoice before his expression suddenly darkened.

The black fog that had disappeared just now somehow emerged again, beginning to fill the void.

And within the swirling black fog, a human-shaped phantom gradually emerged.

The original form of the phantom, who else could it be but Muye?

"Immortal Body."

"Immortal Body, my ass."

Vivian said angrily, "If my Divine Power were sufficient, these Death Spirits wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of me."

"Death Spirits?"

"These black fogs are Death Spirits, the aura of the undead refined from souls. As long as the Death Spirits are not extinguished, he can be reborn infinitely."

Ning Fan said in surprise, "Doesn't that mean he can't be killed?"

"Who said he can't be killed? This trash is already dead."

Vivian pouted, "This fool thought he could open the Space Gate with his own power, he's really stupid."

"Wait a minute, I'm confused. What's going on here?"

"This trash said he wanted to bring the Netherworld Monarch to the Human Realm. Breaking boundaries naturally comes at a price. So he died."

Ning Fan asked urgently, "I know he's dead, and then? Is there any way to resolve this?"

"There are only two ways. If the energy is insufficient, the space channel cannot form."

"And the other one?"

"Wait for the Netherworld Monarch to come out, and then send him back."

"Send him back?"

Ning Fan was speechless. Muye held back for so long to unleash a big move, it's not so easy to send him back.

"What happens if you can't send him back?"

"What else can happen? He'll just linger in this world."

"But wait a minute. Didn't you say breaking into the Origin World is very difficult?"

Ning Fan looked at Vivian with suspicion, "Are you trying to trick me?"

"I said breaking into the Divine Realm is difficult. It's relatively easy with some Low Level worlds."

Vivian shook her head disdainfully, "Truly a trash pseudo-god, even coming to this world couldn't attract the attention of the Origin Will."

Vivian could express disdain, but Ning Fan could not.

This giant dragon always had high standards, calling everyone trash and bugs, looking down on them.

But what she considered trash, Ning Fan saw as a major threat.

"It shouldn't be so easy to open, right?"

Ning Fan forced a laugh, anxiously looking towards the center of the black fog.

It was at this moment that Mary said, "He has been preparing for centuries to open the Gate of Hell, this time he will surely succeed."

"How do you know?"

Ning Fan asked again, "The soul you asked me to block earlier, does it come from those girls? What do they have to do with this?"

"That's right. Those girls' souls are the Sacrificial Offerings."

"How do you know so much?"

"They told me."

Noticing Ning Fan's confused gaze, Mary revealed the truth.

After Mary was sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower by Muye, she discovered the presence of ten resentful spirits inside the tower.

Influenced by Mary, a ghost who completed her own redemption, the resentful spirits of these ten girls regained a bit of consciousness.

It was through their words that Mary learned some things.

Muye was an Onmyoji, and the most critical part determining the strength of an Onmyoji is the Shikigami they summon.

Shikigami refer to the Spiritual Bodies commanded by the Onmyoji, the stronger the Shikigami, the stronger the Onmyoji.

Muye's Shikigami was not only powerful but had an extraordinary origin, a fragment of the Netherworld Monarch's projection.

In Fusang mythology, the Netherworld Monarch is the ruler of the Netherworld Realm, possessing supreme Divine Power.

The greatest desire of the Netherworld Monarch was to extend his influence to the Human Realm and drag the entire Human Realm into the Netherworld Realm.

Upon hearing this, Vivian immediately scoffed, "That trash pseudo-god, thinking he can devour the Origin Will, it's utterly ridiculous."

"Let Mary finish first."

"Muye, under the Netherworld Monarch's command, has been collecting girls' souls over the years, hoping to open the Gate of Netherworld and let the Netherworld Monarch's True Body descend into the Human Realm."

"That means not just ten have died."

"Though I don't know the exact number, it's definitely many."

Mary said angrily, "That Demon-Suppressing Tower is the Magic Artifact for refining souls, the souls of the Sacrificial Offerings have all turned into black fog."

Vivian interjected, "No wonder there's such a dense aura of Death Spirit here."

Ning Fan asked suspiciously, "But how do those girls know these things?"

"Muye told them everything."

Noticing Ning Fan's puzzled expression, Vivian explained, "To be a Sacrificial Offering, they must be willing. I guess those girls were brainwashed by him, probably with reasons like being a Divine Child or everlasting life after death."

Ning Fan nodded, this made sense.

Mary softly said, "Had you come a bit later, perhaps I too would have been refined."

"Sorry."

Hearing this, Ning Fan felt a chill down his spine.

"There's no need for apologies between us."

Mary shook her head and looked nervously at the center of the black fog, "I wonder what happened to those girls?"

Ning Fan was puzzled, "Why did they fly over there?"

"The moment the Demon-Suppressing Tower shattered, they reverted to resentful spirits. Being sacrifices to the Netherworld Monarch, they would naturally return to the projection's side."

Saying this, Mary's eyes dimmed, "It's a pity. If there was more time, perhaps they might have regained their senses."

"Is it possible that the space channel was opened ahead of time?"

Connecting flesh and blood as a bridge, Death Spirits as a guide.

Muye could only summon a channel linking the Netherworld and the Human Realm.

And the Death Spirits originated from the soul fragments of the sacrificed girls, yet those ten Soul Bodies hadn't been refined into Death Spirits but rather absorbed by the Netherworld Monarch's projection,

Could this not indicate that the current Death Spirits were inadequate to open the channel, or at most barely adequate?

Otherwise, Muye would not have used these ten girls as a bargaining chip to aid the bald man in acting.

The more Ning Fan thought, the more likely this seemed, at least the space channel wasn't in an ideal state.

Realizing this, Ning Fan felt a bit hopeful, if the channel between the Netherworld and the Origin World was opened hastily, there might still be a slim chance.

After hearing Ning Fan's speculation, Vivian said indifferently, "There's no point in discussing it now. That ghostly Netherworld Monarch has already appeared."

Even without Vivian's reminder, Ning Fan noticed something was amiss.

The Death Spirit black fog that had just darkened the sky was rapidly dissipating, rolling back in a certain direction.

Ning Fan couldn't help but turn back, seeing a substantive black pillar flying towards the mural behind him.

At the bottom of the mural, depicting a scene from the Netherworld Nation, a circular black hole appeared.
