The Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter and Her Heartless Lover!

The underworld descends, the punishment of power

Shen Yiyao's sword energy ripped through the sky like thunder, instantly slicing a hole through the dark air currents in the sky. Golden light spread like a torrent, gradually engulfing the entire battlefield. Her eyes flashed with anger and determination, and the direction of her sword pointed was Zhao Yuanming and the power of death he controlled.

However, just as she was about to launch the final blow, the sky suddenly shook violently. Countless stars fell from the sky, as if the heavens were collapsing. Every soldier on the battlefield watched in horror, feeling that this was no longer an ordinary battle, but a natural disaster. The entire world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"This...this...?" Shen Yiyao's eyes widened, her mind blank. She knew that things were far from as simple as she had imagined.

At the moment she was confused, Zhao Yuanming's voice came again: "Do you think you can defeat me? Do you think you can reverse everything? Shen Yiyao, you are too naive!"

Suddenly, behind Zhao Yuanming, the resurrected Death Army began to mutate. A massive black vortex formed behind them, and in the center of it, a large image faintly appeared—it was the portal to the underworld.

Shen Yiyao's face changed. She immediately realized that Zhao Yuanming's true purpose was to open the entrance to the underworld and drag the entire empire, even the entire world, into the abyss of the underworld! At that moment, it seemed as if the air between heaven and earth solidified, and all life was swallowed by this darkness. Every soldier on the battlefield felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, and a silent cry came from the depths of their souls.

"Zhao Yuanming, you are really crazy!" Shen Yiyao roared angrily.

Zhao Yuanming sneered: "Crazy? No, this is the ultimate salvation. Only by entering the underworld can the world truly enter a new order. All of you are bound by this corrupt empire, and I will bring you true liberation!"

Before he finished speaking, the black energy within the vortex began to swirl violently. Dozens of gigantic ghosts and skeletons leaped out, transforming into dark streams of air that rushed towards Shen Yiyao. These undead, empowered by the power of the underworld, were no longer ordinary dead, but instead possessed powerful supernatural abilities. They stalked the air like ghosts, attacking all living things.

Shen Yiyao didn't flinch. She gripped the Dragon Sword tightly, its blade blazing with dazzling light. In an instant, the air on the battlefield seemed to become transparent, and all darkness retreated before her sword's aura. She raised the Dragon Sword high, pointing it at the swirling portal to the underworld. "You're wrong, Zhao Yuanming. You think you can control life and death, but you're nothing more than a dog of the underworld!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she swung the Dragon Sword fiercely. A stream of extremely sharp sword energy cut through the air and pointed directly at the vortex of the underworld. Just as the sword energy was about to touch the vortex, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared in the vortex, and then a powerful attraction swallowed Shen Yiyao's sword energy without a trace.

"Haha, Shen Yiyao, your sword is no match." Zhao Yuanming slowly emerged from the vortex, his eyes revealing the arrogance of a victor. "The power of the underworld is beyond your comprehension. All your attacks are destined to be incapable of harming me."

Shen Yiyao's face turned pale, but she didn't give up. Instead, her heart grew stronger. She had never imagined she would face such a powerful enemy in such a situation, but she knew clearly that only victory could protect the empire and everything she had promised to protect.

"You're wrong." She gritted her teeth and said, "The power of the god of death will eventually be used by me!"

At this moment, a startling change occurred—the dragon sword in Shen Yiyao's hand suddenly trembled violently, and a strong purple light emanated from the sword. She looked down in surprise and saw that a tiny crack had appeared at the hilt of the dragon sword, and a powerful black airflow suddenly emerged from the crack.

"What...what is this?" Shen Yiyao felt uneasy. The changes in the dragon sword were completely beyond her expectations.

Zhao Yuanming's smile froze instantly, and a trace of deep fear appeared in his eyes. "Impossible! This is impossible!"

As the black airflow emanating from the dragon sword gradually spread, an indescribable and strange force began to sweep across the battlefield. The surrounding soldiers, ghosts, and even the resurrected undead were infected by this airflow, and all existence began to become distorted and blurred, as if their souls were suffering some kind of divine punishment.

"Is this... the backlash from the underworld?" Zhao Yuanming whispered in horror. His figure began to become illusory, as if suppressed by some force.

Shen Yiyao raised a brow, finally understanding the secret of the Dragon Sword. It turned out that the Dragon Sword was not simply a weapon, but an ancient seal, the key to the power of the underworld. When Zhao Yuanming accidentally touched the deep power of the underworld, the Dragon Sword automatically awakened and began to counterattack this dark force that should not have been released.

"Zhao Yuanming, you will pay the price for what you did today." Shen Yiyao's voice was as cold as ice. The airflow of the dragon sword in her hand began to become more violent, and the cracks on the sword body expanded rapidly, causing the darkness of the entire battlefield to begin to collapse.

At this moment, the gates of the underworld completely shattered, and hundreds of thousands of resurrected undead struggled in the darkness, rushing wildly in all directions. However, this powerful undead force began to lose control under the backlash of the dragon sword, and the power of the entire underworld seemed to be competing with Shen Yiyao.

Zhao Yuanming's figure gradually vanished into the darkness, as if swallowed by the abyss of the underworld. As the battle neared its end, Shen Yiyao felt a power she had never felt before surge within her. She realized that she might not simply be the victor, but the next guardian of the entire underworld's seal.

However, the real danger has just begun.
