And sure enough, just a single moment later, the underworld appeared in front of everyone once again.
And with it, an overwhelming force of deathly aura, corpse miasma, and intense evil energy filled the chaotic void.
Several decades ago, a fierce primitive beast had entered the underworld, and then the whole cosmos had disappeared.
Now it had suddenly popped into place once again.
"What the hell? That's not the underworld we remember! It's changed! It's different! It's..."
"It's been upgraded.
It's no longer a low-grade universe!"
All across the three thousand big and small universes, powerful warriors released their spiritual senses and tried to perceive the
underworld.
They wanted to figure out its grade.
Sof them even wanted to use their spiritual senses and explore its innards to see if there was any change inside it as well.
After all, a universe that had been out of sight for decades made them rather curious through its sudden appearance.
"Humph! Anyone who dares to try and explore the underworld will be killed!"
Suddenly, a cold voice cfrom nowhere.
Then, the shadow of a ferocious beast was projected out of the underworld, and its horrible eyes swept around, looking in more
than just a few directions at once.
"Aaaaargh!"
Hundreds of pained screeches emanated across the three thousand big and small universes.
Whoever had released their spiritual senses to explore the underworld had been attacked fiercely.
And the attack was so horrible that several of the Divine Realm masters were blown up on the spot and their bodies and souls were
destroyed forever.
Even the preliminary-grade divine gods' bodies trembled, their faces quickly turned pale, and blood began to seep from the corners
of their mouths.
"Oh dear god!"
Peterson, Morphy, and Jarvis appeared from the chaotic void simultaneously. They released a great force in unison and enveloped
all the three thousand big and small universes.

Fortunately, these three medium-grade divine gods had appeared just in time. Otherwise, more creatures would have been killed
by the shadow of the fierce beast.
"That's a high-grade universe!"
The next moment, the three medium-grade divine gods shouted in surprise.
"That is incredible. In just a few decades, the underworld has turned itself into a high-grade universe!"
They were dumbfounded and couldn't believe what they were seeing with their own eyes.
As for the other warriors, they didn't dare to release their spiritual senses anymore after seeing what had happened to their
colleagues. But these three newcomers were not afraid. They could easily perceive the true grade of the underworld.
"You medium-grade divine gods, | advise you not to meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, you will get yourself killed."
A malicious sneer rose from the underworld, making the hair of whoever heard it stand on end.
"What on earth happened inside the underworld over the last few decades?"
Jarvis shouted in exasperation. His sharp eyes, like two beams of divine radiance, shone on the underworld, trying to see
everything clearly.
"Ha-ha!"
The cold laughter sounded again.
Then, a darkmade up of the laws of nature appeared and surrounded the underworld, protecting it from any outside
interference.
Peterson, Morphy, and Jarvis found that they were no longer able to sense the underworld.
At that moment, a voice suddenly cfrom the Divine Corpse Palace which was floating in the chaotic void at the edge of the
three thousand big and small universes.
"Huh! | didn't expect that the underworld would target this place as well.
This is a surprise! But no matter!
Tell me! Do you want to fight us for the corpses too?
Let's not do that. How about this? We take the corpses, and you take the souls.
The underworld only cares about reincarnation. There is no need to fight us over the corpses."
Even though it was suggesting a truce, the voice was still cold and ruthless.
"Fuck off!
You don't deserve to be mentioned in the sbreath as our underworld.
The underworld is in charge of reincarnation across all universes, as well as the enlightening of the rebirth of all kinds of creatures.
We represent the suprlaws of nature of millions upon millions of races and creatures!
The Divine Corpse Palace is just a lowly organization that grabs corpses!"
the beast in the underworld snorted coldly.
"Really? Is the underworld really so noble? Don't flatter yourself.
We shall see who is who soon!"
the cold and ruthless voice from the Divine Corpse Palace answered.
Then silence fell once again, both across the underworld and the Divine Corpse Palace.
Peterson, Morphy, and Jarvis looked at each other in surprise.
"It looks like the underworld of the three thousand big and small universes has been taken over by the real underworld in the Sea
of Chaos,"
Peterson remarked using his spiritual sense.
Morphy and Jarvis nodded in agreement.
Neither the Divine Corpse Palace nor the underworld were the kind of forces anyone wanted to provoke, so the three medium-
grade divine gods discussed for a while and decided not to take any action for the tbeing. The best course of action was to
hide.
At that time, in the Flaming Moon World of the Celestial Purple Cosmos, Austin was still busy cultivating hard.
It had been three years!
"lI seem to be near a breakthrough!"
Austin suddenly realized something. He looked up at the sky and saw that dark clouds were coming and gathering from all
directions.
This place was near a city. The dark clouds were all over the sky, which naturally alarmed sof the warriors in the city.
"Wow. The dark clouds span more than a hundred thousand miles of area this time! Whoever is about to break through is close by
and really, really powerful!"

Several warriors rushed out of the city and headed for the center of the cloud cover.
Austin was still looking up at the rapidly gathering dark clouds silently.
"No, this is too soon. | can't break through right now."
He then touched his Space Ring and threw out a magic treasure into the sky.
Boom!
The magic treasure looked like a piece of jade, small and exquisite, but as soon as it reached a certain height, it released an
enormous and terrifying power. Then it was as if a huge curtain had been laid over the sky.
In an instant, the dark clouds rolled and disappeared.
Not only that, but every creature within a radius of a few hundred thousand miles felt a mighty force pressing down. Then a
powerful and immobilizing fear arose right in the depths of their souls.
They immediately collapsed down on the ground, unable to move.
"The jade given by Master Morphy is really useful.
It can temporarily delay my breakthrough."
Austin smiled and put the jade piece, which had floated back to him, inside his Space Ring.
Several moments later, everyone who had fallen down due to the treasure finally managed to get up, as if they had been pardoned
by a king.
After a while, sof the cultivators gathered their courage and slowly began to approach what had been the center covered by
clouds, trying to find out what had happened.
They suspected that the abnormal phenomenon they had just witnessed was probably because of the appearance of some
incredibly powerful treasure.
However, they only saw a withered man with ragged clothes walking out step by step silently.
And the treasure that they were looking forward to was nowhere to be found.
"Does this guy have anything to do with what just happened?"
The cultivators were staring at Austin. He didn't seem harmful.
Hundreds of cultivators flocked around Austin, and each of them released an energy pressure to lock him from afar.
However, Austin turned a blind eye to them and kept walking towards the city step by step.
