The mirror surface was as clean as if washed, with the contours of mountains and rivers engraved on the edges—it was the Mountain and River Mirror.

Within the mirror, there was no reflection of the surrounding ghostly scenes. Instead, a full and radiant blazing sun was suspended, slowly rotating, with intense golden light spilling out from the mirror.

Shen Siyuan formed a hand seal with his fingertips, and the incense surrounding him surged wildly towards the Mountain and River Mirror behind his head, as if summoned.

The glorious golden-red incense, like a rushing river, flooded into the mirror, causing the sun, previously drifting within the mirror, to burst forth with brilliant light and explode out of the mirror.

In an instant, a glorious sun slowly rose into the high sky above the Netherworld.

This ever-dark land, shrouded in Yin Wind and darkness, where the sun never shone, was suddenly illuminated as bright as day by this blazing sun.

The intense yet pure golden light spread like a tide over every inch of the Netherworld, piercing through layers of thick Evil Qi, revealing every grain of sand on the black earth in crystal clarity.

All around the great sun, Divine Fire burned intensely, and countless threads of incense surrounded it like nebulae, making this sun even more dazzling and turning it into an unprecedented spectacle in the Netherworld.

Wherever the golden light reached, all the impure evil substances began to crazily dissolve.

The literary net laid by Wen Huai’an, when touched by the golden light, faded and dispersed in an instant. The literary energy, capable of nailing the void, melted away like snow under the scorching sun at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Eight Diagrams Soul-locking Array anchored by Xuanji Zi, the black talismans on its gate self-ignited in an instant. The thick Yin Polluted Evil Qi within the array was shattered by the golden light, and the once solidified void instantly became dynamic again, leaving the array designed to counteract the Primordial Magnetic Force ninety percent nullified.

Liao Chen’s demon pattern, which soared into the sky, emitted a piercing sound when it encountered the golden light, like boiling oil meeting water, instantly turning into wisps of black smoke and dispersing. The Buddha Demon Sound, which seduced the mind and corroded the soul, was shattered by the golden light and backfired, causing him to spit out black energy.

Even the thousand soldiers and horses condensed with the soul power of Huo Jingshan became translucent and dim under the golden light, and the once soaring Soldier Evil Qi was forcefully suppressed within the armor.

The four’s cultivation was significantly reduced, losing more than half under this blazing sun.

Their smiles froze instantly, replaced by extreme terror and disbelief.

Wen Huai’an shouted in amazement, "How is this possible? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is severed; how can you be so strong?"

But this was only the beginning.

Standing on the black earth of the Netherworld, Shen Siyuan’s Five Elements Magnetic Force burst forth without reservation, spreading like countless invisible threads, reaching deep into the Netherworld’s ground beneath his feet.

The Primordial Magnetic originates from the earth, and the Five Elements are buried within the ground.

Though the Netherworld belongs to the Yin Realm, within the earth’s essence, the most majestic and primal Five Elements Power and Primordial Magnetic Power remain hidden.

At this moment, Shen Siyuan removed all restraints, connecting with the ubiquitous Five Elements and Primordial Magnetic power deep within the earth, using his own essence as the guide.

In just an instant, his Divine Soul completely merged with this vast land of the Netherworld.

He could clearly perceive every earth vein’s flow beneath the black earth, sense the Five Elements Power contained within each grain of sand, and feel the omnipresent Primordial Magnetic fluctuations throughout the land.

His will was the will of this land; his power was the power of the land.

Standing there, he was like the ruler of the Netherworld land. Between heaven and earth, there was nothing he could not command or control.

This was the first time since Shen Siyuan’s cultivation journey that he unleashed all his power so unrestrainedly.

Whether in the mortal world or since entering the Netherworld, he had always kept a low profile, but today, against these four Murky Ghosts determined to kill him, he finally had no reservations.

And this unleashed power brought absolute domination.

The first to bear this power was Huo Jingshan, the closest to him.

This veteran of the battlefield was charging forward with all his bravery, but just as the tip of his spear was about to touch Shen Siyuan’s clothes, an unparalleled Primordial Magnetic Force surged from the ground beneath his feet.

The power didn’t come from the front but surged from beneath his feet, from every inch of space around him, from every corner of this land.

His supposedly impregnable armor was instantly gripped by the Primordial Magnetic Force, and it was as if he was pinned under a ten-thousand-pound mountain. He couldn’t even move a finger, let alone charge forward.

In Huo Jingshan’s eyes flashed extreme horror, madly stimulating soul power to break free, but he was facing the power of the entire land.

Shen Siyuan merely raised his eyes lightly, his fingertips slightly pinched, and the surrounding Primordial Magnetic Power suddenly tightened.

Only a deafening sound of cracking echoed, Huo Jingshan, along with his Breaking Formation Spear, Mystic Iron Armor, and even the virtual shadow of the thousand soldier souls behind him, were all ground into powder by the Primordial Magnetic Power of the land, leaving no trace of residual soul, scattered with the Yin Wind of the Netherworld.

The second was Xuanji Zi.

He watched Huo Jingshan die instantly, his soul scared away, frantically wanting to retrieve the Array Gate and turn to escape.

But his Eight Diagrams Soul-locking Array was originally nailed in the void, and at this moment, both the void and the land were under Shen Siyuan’s control.

Shen Siyuan lightly flipped his wrist, the Coiled Dragon Spear lightly vibrated in his hand, and the Five Elements Magnetic Force surged into the array from the tip of the spear.

The Array Gate, originally used to stabilize the void, now turned into a cage that trapped him. Countless talismans shattered inch by inch under the power of Primordial Magnetic, and the Array Gate collapsed inward instantly.

Xuanji Zi let out a shrill scream, his entire being enveloped by the collapsing array and Primordial Magnetic Power, unable to even hold onto his horsetail whisk and Peach Wood Sword, and was instantly twisted into black smoke, entirely purified by the shining golden light of the sun.

The third was Wen Huai’an.

Seeing two companions dead in an instant, his courage broke, he wildly swung his Wolf Hair Brush, trying to break the void with Literary Energy to escape.

But each character he wrote, as soon as it formed, was twisted into flying ash by the omnipresent Primordial Magnetic Power around.

His Literary Net, capable of stabilizing the void, was as fragile as thin paper before the power of the whole land.

Shen Siyuan’s gaze swept over him, gently flicking his wide sleeve, the brilliant golden light of the sun and the land’s Primordial Magnetic Power attacked simultaneously, the Wolf Hair Brush in Wen Huai’an’s hand snapped instantly, the Confucian maxims on the pen shaft that accompanied him for centuries completely purified by the golden light.

He let out a roar of unwillingness, yet his whole being was wrapped by the Primordial Magnetic Power and golden light, his century-old polluted energy instantly cleansed, and his Divine Soul dispersed completely in ultimate pain between heaven and earth.

Only leaving an item falling on the ground.

The only one left was Liao Chen.

This monk, who spoke of mercy, now no longer had the demeanor of a high monk, his corpulent body trembling like a sieve, his face full of extreme fear.

Watching three companions die instantly, he madly knelt and kowtowed, shouting incessantly, "Benefactor, spare my life, the old monk knows his mistake... The old monk is willing to serve by your side, forever as a slave."

While shouting, he secretly gathered polluted energy within, intending to seize the opportunity to sneak attack and escape.

But all his thoughts were completely exposed before Shen Siyuan, who was integrated with the land.

Shen Siyuan didn’t even spare him a glance, just flicked his fingertips lightly, and a thread of Divine Fire fell from the high sky of the sun, instantly wrapping Liao Chen’s body.

Attaching itself to the polluted energy on him, the Divine Fire immediately raged wildly, Liao Chen let out a heart-wrenching scream, the Buddha Demon dual form completely collapsed in the Divine Fire, and within moments, was burned clean.

In mere seconds, four Muddy Ghosts, who had dominated the Netherworld for a century, each the peak of their respective paths, met their deaths, leaving no trace behind.

Above the Netherworld, the brilliant sun still hung in the sky, driving away the pervasive chill with its golden light.

Shen Siyuan slowly withdrew his aura, his Divine Soul integrated with the earth gradually returned, the Mountain and River Mirror behind his head faded into the void, and the force holding the three little ones dissipated.

"So I’ve become this strong?"

Shen Siyuan looked down at his hands, feeling incredible himself.

Just then, Dou Dou rushed over instantly, her short legs kicking quickly, Shen Siyuan instinctively reached out to hold her.

But she slid past Shen Siyuan’s hands and lunged toward the item left on the ground after Wen Huai’an’s soul dissipated.

"Ha~, this is mine now." She raised it high, her face filled with excitement.

Everyone: .....
