Zhatian: I really have the qualities to be an emperor!

Chapter 296: Meeting Yaoguang Again and Clearing the Netherworld

The ancient city is huge, like a giant dragon lying horizontally, exuding a strong sense of oppression. People in front of it are as small as a speck of dust.

The mottled city walls were very thick, covered with scars from knives, spears, swords, and halberds. They had been ravaged by war and looked desolate.

I don’t know if it’s because of war or the passage of time, but the ancient city has long been in ruins, with most parts collapsed, leaving only vague shapes to be discerned.

It is more like a ruin than the remains of an ancient city.

"Is it really in there?"

Hei Huang frowned in confusion. Looking from afar, he could indeed see that the top of the ancient city ruins was covered by a thick layer of cold and deadly aura.

"It is indeed the work of the underworld."

Yang Zhu opened his divine eyes and saw a strange altar in the center of the city. It was filled with gloomy energy and murderous intent, as if it was connected to the Yama Hell.

Through the altar, there is a very spacious underground space below.

It was like a hell, with corpses everywhere, dead and without any sign of life.

The dark red ground was stained with countless blood, and it was full of potholes, and there were still many pools of blood that had not dried up.

"Whoosh..."

The wind was howling, cold and biting, as if an evil ghost was wailing. The breath of death was spreading, almost corroding a person's soul!
"Yao Guang?"

When the divine eyes wanted to see deeper, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in Yang Zhu's sight.

It is the missing Holy Son Yaoguang!
He was like a chosen one of heaven, sitting cross-legged in the void, with 108 divine rings shrouding him behind him and stars lingering around him.

At this moment, there was a terrifying black hole in front of Yaoguang, absorbing endless breath of death...

"The remains of the underworld are inside."

Finally, Yang Zhu saw the Styx flowing, and behind it was a huge gate. The three big characters "Nantianmen" were simple and majestic, and very intimidating.

They entered the ancient city, where there were many ghost soldiers patrolling indifferently, but Yang Zhu just pointed and shot out a ray of divine light, and the ghost soldiers were completely refined.

When they arrived above the altar, Yang Zhu performed the "Xing" technique and led everyone to the underground easily.

"Hiss... I'm really in hell?"

Longma looked at the scene in front of him, which was filled with gloomy energy and corpses everywhere, and was filled with a sense of solemnity. He suddenly shuddered.

"Huh? Why is it you…"

Not long after arriving here, Yaoguang felt something and looked over here. When he saw Yang Zhu, his expression froze and he stood up.

He was filled with shock. He didn't expect to meet Yang Zhu here.

Yang Zhu's reputation had long spread throughout the ancient road and was well-known, shocking everyone who heard it. Yaoguang was an "old acquaintance", so one can imagine how shocked he was.

Yaoguang is a man of extraordinary talent and a heart that is determined to attain enlightenment. He has almost no rivals in this era and is a peerless genius comparable to Shengti Ye.

But he still can't forget the deep feeling of powerlessness he felt when he was in front of Yang Zhu. It was like an eternal haze that could not be shaken off.

"Who is this person? He looks so strong."

Longma was puzzled. He only felt that there was a powerful aura emanating from Yaoguang, which was hard to understand.

"Like that kid Ye Fan, he is also one of the best geniuses in the Eastern Wilderness... How come this kid loves digging graves even more than that fat guy?" said Black Emperor.

"The seventh level of saint."

Yang Zhu was not surprised that Yaoguang appeared here.

According to the source master of Gou Chen, this place was once a battlefield, where countless gods and geniuses died.

For Yaoguang, who was practicing the Immortal Heavenly Art, this was undoubtedly a feast. He could devour the essence from those corpses and continuously enhance his cultivation.

"Ignore him."

After saying this, he didn’t even look at Yaoguang again and went straight towards the South Heaven Gate.

Compared to the outside world, there was no other unusual movement here except for gusts of cold wind, and even the patrolling ghost soldiers had disappeared.

"Who dares to trespass into my underworld?"

But when they were only a few dozen miles away from the Nantianmen, a loud shout like thunder rolled in, and a terrifying pressure swept over!

"Damn, there really is someone there!"

The big black dog's fur suddenly stood up. If Yang Zhu hadn't been standing in front of him, the power of that sentence alone would have been enough to cause him serious injuries.

With his current strength, it is difficult for anyone in the Saint realm to hurt him, so it can be seen that the person who set out is at least a Saint King!

"Should we really keep moving forward..." The nine-tailed silver fox was so frightened that it was shaking all over.

"I'm looking for you."

Yang Zhu's eyes flashed like cold lightning, and the Chaos Sky Sword flew out. The blade was snow-white and translucent, extremely sharp, and even Jiutian was knocked down!

The Heavenly Sword rang softly, and all the heavens and worlds roared. A long river of chaos emerged, surrounding the blade, and then slashed across the sky into the South Heaven Gate.

"what……"

There was a heart-wrenching scream, and the entire Nantian Gate was shaking, as if it could not withstand the sharpness of the Heavenly Sword and was on the verge of collapse.

puff……

There was a slight sound afterwards, as if something had exploded, and then the Heavenly Sword flew back from the huge portal, spotless and as bright as clouds.

A powerful man from the underworld, who was at the level of Saint King, fell like this, and he couldn't even withstand a single move from Yang Zhu!
"Buzzing..."

The South Heaven Gate shook violently, and a heart-pounding wave emanated from inside the door. A supreme being was awakened and was gradually recovering.

"boom!"

The next moment, black clouds covered the sun and spread out from the door, rolling and swirling like a dense cloud pressing down. The strong smell of blood filled the nose, almost suffocating it.

In the mist, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, extremely cold and without any emotion at all.

"The peak of Saint King."

Just as Yang Zhu thought, there must be an extremely powerful person here. The person in front of him is a Saint King at the peak of his power.

The other party has already touched the threshold of the Great Sage and has almost taken one step in. His strength is terrifying!
"For so many years, no one has dared to challenge the majesty of the underworld. Tell me your name. I will not kill an unknown person."

In the black fog, the hoarse voice sounded again, as cold and aloof as ever, and indifferent to everything.

After saying that, three more figures rushed out from the door. They were all wearing extremely ancient clothes. Their bodies were emaciated, with only a layer of wrinkled skin left.

Without exception, all three of them are at the Saint King level, but they are much weaker than the man in the black fog.

They said nothing, but stared at Yang Zhu and the others with a pair of empty and cold eyes. Their gaze was so sharp that it was like countless needles piercing their souls, causing severe pain.

"How shameless! You were scared out of your wits by my father and hid for tens of thousands of years with the Heaven-reaching Dark Treasure. How dare you say such things?"

Yang Zhu's black hair was like a waterfall, and his eyes were looking calmly ahead. When he said this, one could clearly feel the expressions of the other people stiffen.

"What...you are that man's descendant?"

In the black fog, deep fear emerged in those eyes. The fear dominated by the Great Emperor Wu Shi was like a brand that penetrated deep into their souls!

"No, get back!"

As if he remembered something, the man shuddered, and the surging black mist retreated back into the huge portal like a tide, trying to escape. "Too late!"

Yang Zhu breathed lightly, and the Chaos Pool was summoned, dropping a Chaos Divine Waterfall that imprisoned this world and made it impossible for the gate to close.

The next moment, the secret of "Xing" was used, and this movement was pushed to the extreme. Even time stopped flowing. He took a step forward and blocked the South Heaven Gate.

"boom!"

He held the Heavenly Sword in his hand, with incredible strength, and chopped it down from mid-air. The blade was sharp and glittering, and his power was so overwhelming that even the sky was cut apart.

The Heavenly Sword chopped down, and the underworld suddenly collapsed, turning thousands of miles into ashes. The lingering aura of death was completely refined as if it encountered a natural enemy!

"puff!"

In the black fog, a hand covered by ancient armor stretched out, and the moment it pressed down, it caused a drastic change in the world.

"Woo hoo hoo..."

An evil cold wind was howling, and eighty-one black flags appeared in the sky. There were shrill wails, as if they were stained with countless blood.

The black flags made clanging sounds and were activated at the same time, forming a killing formation. The murderous aura was endless and raged madly, attacking Yang Zhu.

"boom!"

The Heavenly Sword was hazy and shrouded in chaotic mist. It was invincible and could destroy the thousands of murderous intentions that came at it with ease.

The aura of the Holy Fetus of Chaos spread, and the entire underworld was stained with a layer of purple-gold halo. All evil spirits disappeared, and there was no resistance at all.

The divine chains of order intertwined together, covering the sky and the earth, carrying the will of heaven and earth and overturning them. Nothing could resist it.

"Boom bang bang..."

The black flag was defeated. The moment it was touched by Yang Zhu's blood, it began to disintegrate into pieces and exploded one after another.

"Wow!"

Yang Zhu's gestures changed, and the starry sky was pinched into his palms. Then, a dazzling avenue of divine waterfalls slid down from his fingertips, pressing down the nine heavens, intimidating the nine heavens and ten earths!
A thousand-foot-high divine waterfall cascades down, condensed from the laws of the Great Dao, and is unstoppable, causing the Five Elements to reverse and the world to turn upside down.

It almost caused the world to lose its balance and almost collapsed!
"Oh!"

The man in the black fog was startled, his skin and flesh twitched wildly, and he was hit in time to avoid it. He flew thousands of feet horizontally, and a trickle of blood spurted out.

Yang Zhu is the Holy Fetus of Chaos, a combination of the two most evil physiques. His every move represents the will of heaven and earth and is unstoppable.

Even defeating the rebellious immortal was a common thing for him, not to mention that his current opponent was firmly controlled by him in terms of bloodline.

"How arrogant! I will kill you today to sacrifice my sword."

Yang Zhu attacked again without any fear, like an immortal god, with boundless fighting spirit and an invincible attitude that looked down upon the whole world!
At his level, it is difficult for him to fight with others for hundreds of rounds, and victory or defeat almost always takes just a few rounds.

The Great Emperor Wu Shi swept across everything, and he always had a crushing attitude along the way. This was the enchantment of the Holy Body and Tao Embryo.

Now, the Chaos Holy Embryo is even better than before!

(Don’t even mention how he could possibly be better than his father. Why? Is it that each generation is getting older and older?)
All kinds of secret arts and magical powers were used, the Nine Secrets and several great imperial scriptures evolved endless mysteries, and small worlds were created one after another, and then some were overturned...

The boundless fighting spirit penetrates the sun and the moon, shoots down the nine heavens, and is so powerful that it can make the gods tremble.

"puff!"

After more than a dozen rounds, the man in the black fog could no longer withstand Yang Zhu's attack. His body, which had already been broken, was split into two halves by the power of the Heavenly Sword.

The man finally revealed his true appearance. He was a man wearing ancient armor, with a burly figure and terrifying power.

But at this moment, the supreme holy weapon on his body had been smashed to pieces, leaving only a few broken fragments hanging on his shattered and bloody body.

"what!"

After his body was split into two halves by the force, it exploded into a bloody mist the next moment. A black light, extremely fast, tried to flee into the ground.

"puff!"

But how could Yang Zhu let him do as he wished? He stretched out his hand, and the black light and the space it was in were confined to his palm.

With a little force, the last wisp of the soul of the peerless strong man at the peak of the Saint King level was crushed, and he died.

"Oh my god, is this still a human? He's simply a monster!"

The nine-tailed silver fox, who had been watching the fight, opened his mouth in shock and was speechless for a long time, unable to calm down.

"kill!"

The remaining three people were stunned. Knowing that there was no way to retreat, they shouted loudly and rushed forward!

"Puff puff!"

Yang Zhu's eyes flashed with cold lightning. He was not afraid of fighting three people alone. After just a few rounds, one of them was killed by him. He was invincible.

When the last one exploded into gorgeous fireworks, the four Saint Kings all fell, and even their souls could not escape.

Yang Zhu stood in mid-air holding the Heavenly Sword, like a god descending to the mortal world. He did not show any sign of weakness or injury. Instead, his divine power became even stronger.

"I was born in an unlucky era..."

In the distance, Yaoguang also witnessed this battle. Even he was shocked by Yang Zhu's fighting power and couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for Yang Zhu, he had the confidence to defeat all opponents and reach the top, but Yang Zhu was too strong, so strong that even he could only look up to him and could hardly reach him.

This may be the golden age, grandeur and sadness...

"Wait for me here."

After saying that, Yang Zhu entered the Nantian Gate alone. Behind the gate stood an ancient hall with a thick yin energy that almost turned into substance.

Yang Zhu searched here but did not find the body of the quasi-emperor. He only found a token in the center of the hall with the words "Yin Fu" engraved on it.

"They can dispatch the ghost soldiers. Could it be that they are controlling the ghost soldiers' crossing the border?"

What is certain is that there must have been more terrifying beings here, otherwise those people just now would not be enough to kill a great sage.

Before leaving, Yang Zhu destroyed this place, even the Nantian Gate was reduced to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Afterwards, Yang Zhu secluded himself here for three days, refining and absorbing all the death aura, and his cultivation level improved significantly.

"If you want, you can challenge me anytime."

After taking a final look at Yaoguang, Yang Zhu and the others left.

In the outside world, a large number of ghost soldiers had already gone away, but Yang Zhu ignored them and left with a few people.

Only the horrific existences in the underworld can arouse his interest. As for the ghost soldiers and generals, there are too many of them and he cannot kill them all in a short time.

"You should practice well."

After leaving behind a few immortal treasures, Yang Zhu left and continued to climb the Ancient Starry Sky Road. They did not stop at the 20th level and continued forward.

Half a month later, when they were crossing outside the domain, a huge ancient coffin was drifting in the universe and slowly came from the depths.

The ancient coffin is heavy, and its surface is sealed with layers of complicated formations. It exudes an indescribable pressure, as if an almighty being is sleeping inside.

"Emperor of the Void!"

Yang Zhu was shocked. Although there were endless runes of suppression on the ancient coffin, his intuition told him that this was most likely the imperial coffin of the Void Emperor!
