There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 340: The Return of the Gods from the Underworld (Part )

"It's the King of Equality!!!"

The judge's shout stopped everyone who were determined to give up everything and perish together. The determination on their faces was replaced by shock and surprise.

It’s really him!!!
When their souls were reincarnated into the underworld, they survived many death situations. It was only under the protection of the Ten Kings of Hell that most of them were able to be reincarnated.

Moreover, the Ten Kings of Hell are their direct supervisors.

"King Pingdeng, of the hundreds of people who participated in the plan, only we are left. All the brothers from the Samsara Division and the Underworld Division have sacrificed their lives..."

The judge and others spoke in low voices, filled with endless sorrow and vicissitudes.

King Pingdeng nodded slowly and calmed everyone down: "They all sacrificed themselves for the future of our world. People in their hometown will never forget them..."

Ji, who was standing aside, stared closely at King Pingdeng. After a moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said in a deep voice, "It's you... I remember you. Yong had mentioned to me time and again that there was a great talent in his mansion. With the assistance of that great talent, Yongzhou has made rapid progress in recent years. For this matter, Yong also repeatedly rejected the opinions of others and recommended you to be the next governor. I didn't expect you to betray Yong!!!"

King Pingdeng turned around and looked at Ji calmly, saying in a calm tone: "Yong and I had already made an agreement, so there is no question of betrayal. I have only had one identity from the beginning to the end, and that is the King of the Ten Palaces of Hell, King Pingdeng."

"I am here today and will not allow anyone to hurt my brother."

Upon hearing this, Ji's expression changed, and he said viciously: "If that's the case, then you will be buried with them!!!"

Ji acted ruthlessly, vowing to slaughter all the "aliens" in front of him.

King Pingdeng was not afraid at all and rushed forward like lightning.

Bang bang bang!
The fists whistled and the palms flew.

The clouds in the sky were violently stirred by these two powerful air waves. Only vaguely could one see a series of afterimages flashing rapidly in the void. Every collision would cause space vibrations, making a terrifying crackling sound.

After fighting for hundreds of rounds, the two were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell who was the better.

However, Ji sneered at this time: "Your strength is indeed good, and you have reached the level of a state master. No wonder Yong is so fond of you, but you will never understand that I am not only the master of a state, but also a disciple of the emperor."

"The emperor once taught and enlightened me personally."

"How can we allow you barbarians to act so recklessly in front of the Emperor?"

boom!
A big hand burst into dazzling white light.

Mysterious and complex lines appeared on it, exuding a strange atmosphere.

That is the power that comes from the Son of Heaven, from the Lord of the Underworld.

Although it is just a trace, it contains the power to destroy the world.

King Pingdeng's figure was blown away like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground. His face was as pale as paper and there was a shocking trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother King Pingdeng..."

The gods were extremely anxious and rushed forward to use divine fire to heal the wounds.

Ji looked at the group of people in front of him with contempt. Instead of stopping them, he said coldly: "It would be easy for me to kill you. Do you know why I don't do it now?"

As he spoke, Ji slowly raised his head and looked at the fireworks that were still blooming brilliantly.

"Since you barbarians value feelings so much, I think those barbarians who have awakened will definitely not sit idly by after receiving the news. I want to use you to lure out the other barbarians who have been lurking in the underworld thousands of years ago."

"We'll catch you all at once, and wipe out the roots!"

"Do you really think that my underworld is full of blood-sucking bugs?!"

"Today, I will let you self-righteous barbarians see for yourself how powerful the local forces of the underworld are. All gods, listen to my orders..."

In an instant, powerful figures appeared in the void.

Each of them exudes a terrifying aura that can make one shudder.

Their eyes were fierce and filled with endless murderous intent.

These people are definitely not comparable to those demigods who only enjoyed the benefits of the underworld and were afraid of death at critical moments.

The underworld has dominated for tens of thousands of years.

On the surface, it may rely on those foreign demigods to charge into battle, but in fact, the underworld also hides a terrifying force that is enough to suppress all worlds.

This is the true essence of the underworld!!!
"Starting immediately, surround this place and let those barbarians in."

"Then leave no one behind and annihilate them all!"

Ji hopes that only one person can guard the gate of the Heavenly Palace.

And outside the Heavenly Palace, an impenetrable net has been laid, quietly waiting for the demigods from the underworld who have been summoned to fall into the trap.

This is a naked conspiracy.

Those demigods of the underworld who have already awakened will absolutely not watch their brothers perish, not to mention that they also have the important task of opening the door to heaven.

Whoosh whoosh!
Figures rushed over from all directions like meteors.

They are all demigods from the underworld who were summoned by the fireworks.

They have been lurking for thousands of years, hiding their identities, just for this day.

No matter how dangerous the scene is, they will never flee.

The judge and others were extremely anxious when they saw this.

They wanted to stop it but were powerless.

I could only watch my companions step into this dangerous trap.

"I didn't expect that we would still fail at the last moment. Even if we risk everything now, with that disciple of the emperor guarding us, it would still be difficult to open the gate to the Heavenly Palace..."

Everyone has witnessed with their own eyes the terrifying power of the Emperor's disciples.

That powerful force made them feel deeply desperate and powerless.

Even King Pingdeng, one of the Ten Kings of Hell, could not match him.

What can they do? ! ! !

The judge sighed and said, "It's still too early. If a few decades pass, with the resources and background of the underworld, we may be able to make further progress. Brother Pingdeng Wang, you sent a message to your hometown too early..."

Back then, everyone in the underworld was reincarnated into the netherworld, and there was an agreement in the plan.

If they are well prepared, they will try every means to send the disappeared underworld back to the world it once was, in order to remind their hometown that they have made all preparations and will take action immediately once the outside world ignites the fire meteor.

But now, because of their misjudgment and giving the news in advance, not only have they found themselves in a desperate situation, but it is also possible that people outside their hometown will also suffer a devastating disaster.

Thinking of this, the gods in the underworld looked extremely depressed.

King Pingdeng frowned and slowly replied, "I didn't send the underworld back..."

Everyone looked up suddenly, their faces full of surprise. Who else could send the underworld back to hell except King Pingdeng, one of the Ten Kings of Hell? ! !
Are the other ten kings of hell still alive in the world?
Or those above them...

Time passed by minute by minute.

Here, a local demigod reported to Ji: "It's almost time..."

With the speed of a demigod, those who could have arrived in such a short time have basically arrived. Those who have not arrived yet are either not awakened yet, or their strength is not up to that of a demigod. It is even possible that the barbarians have realized the current situation and abandoned their companions, and continue to hide...

But no matter what the outcome, those who didn't come need not be worried.

Ji Lengmo nodded, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Time is almost up, leave the King of Equality to me, and the rest will be dealt with on the spot, leaving no one behind!!!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the native demigods of the underworld immediately launched a fierce attack.

They were filled with murderous intent and aggressively rushed towards the gods of the underworld.

The shouts of killing shook the sky and the flashes of swords and sabers flashed.

The gods in the underworld are struggling to hold on, but it is clear that they are at the end of their strength.

Even the strongest among them, King Pingdeng, was suppressed throughout the whole process and his life was in danger in front of Ji, who was one of the Nine Provinces and a disciple of the emperor.

"Is God really going to destroy my underworld?!!!"

A demigod from the underworld wailed and roared.

He is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die like this.

Swish!
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in the distance.

Like the light of morning, it has extremely strong penetrating power.

Wherever it went, the space seemed to be cut, emitting bursts of piercing roars. The leaked aura alone made people want to kneel down and worship it.

This ball of light is in no way inferior to Ji, one of the nine states.

There is even a tendency to surpass it.

"Xu, what are you doing here?"

"I remember that you have been in seclusion for thousands of years, trying to comprehend the path to becoming a god. I am enough to deal with these barbarians by myself, and there is no need for you to intervene."

Ji recognized at a glance that the other person was also the governor of Xuzhou, one of the nine states.

In today's world, only the Lord of the Underworld walks the smooth road.

And he has gone the furthest on the road to becoming a god.

Next are the governors of Kyushu and those foreign titled demigods.

However, because the governor of Jiuzhou is a disciple of the emperor and is considered the confidant of the Lord of the Underworld, he receives more guidance from the Lord of the Underworld on the road to becoming a god.

As long as they carefully comprehend the guidance of the Lord of the Underworld, they will go further.

Maybe you can even see the back of the Lord of the Underworld on this road.

As one of the nine states, Xu had been practicing in seclusion thousands of years ago.

He threatened that he would never come out until he understood the guidance of the Lord of the Underworld.

Unexpectedly, he would break through at this critical moment today.

However, what answered Ji was a fierce attack from Xu.

Xu threw a punch lightly.

It seems that he can dodge at will, but in fact the whole person has been locked.

Moreover, this fist light also contains a trace of power from the emperor.

You can vaguely see countless regular filaments intertwined.

Those are the rules of heaven and earth from the underworld.

The power of this punch was so terrifying that even the local demigods who were besieging the Judge and others were suppressed by this powerful force. They were shaking all over, as if they were tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand and could only crawl like babies.

"Xu, are you crazy? Why are you attacking your own people?!!!"

"The Underworld, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Eastern Ghost Emperor returns to his position!!"

"..."

"It's that one, it's really that one!!!"

When the gods in the underworld heard the demigod introduce himself, their eyes suddenly became red.

In the underworld system, the Ten Kings of Hell are their superiors.

And above the Ten Kings of Hell are the Five Ghost Emperors.

Back then in the underworld, the Five Ghost Emperors were in charge of the five directions of east, south, west, north and center.

They represent the top force on the front battlefield.

He has been resisting the crazy attacks from those foreign demigods from the underworld.

Even those powerful foreign demigods from the underworld could not gain any advantage in front of the Five Ghost Emperors and could only return in defeat.

"Damn it, how could you be one of those barbarians? How could it be possible?!"

Above the clouds, Ji could no longer remain calm and rational.

He roared and raged like crazy: "Xu, tell me, why?!!"

"As a disciple of the Emperor, why would you give up all this?!!"

"Why did you betray the Lord of the Underworld?!!!"

As the governor of Xuzhou, one of the nine provinces, he was a disciple and confidant of the emperor.

You actually "rebelled" and became a barbarian? ! !

Ji could not accept this fact.

"I have never been a disciple of the Emperor. Thousands of years ago, the five of us originally planned to reincarnate, but we accidentally discovered Xu who had comprehended the path to becoming a god and had gone astray. This was a godsend opportunity, and we decided to give up the chance to reincarnate."

"Choose to seize the body!"

"In these thousands of years, I have lost four brothers. They sacrificed their lives for this plan and finally completely imprisoned Xu's consciousness, allowing me to take his place. Today... I want to avenge my dead brothers."

"Even if you are a disciple of the Emperor, this identity cannot save you!!!"

The Eastern Ghost Emperor was shining brightly and his aura was as powerful as a rainbow.

As a disciple of the emperor and one of the strongest men in Jiuzhou, Xu Yicheng, he had gone much further than Ji on the road to becoming a god. In just a few simple rounds, he completely suppressed Ji and put Ji into a desperate situation.

At the critical moment, Ji Chaotian roared: "The barbarian is knocking on the door, I can't beat him, why don't you show up and save me quickly!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of King Pingdeng and others in the distance suddenly changed.

They knew that Ji was calling for other disciples of the Emperor. If other disciples of the Emperor came, they would face a greater crisis.

"Quick, open the gate to the Heavenly Palace immediately!!"

While the gods were suppressed, Ji was also firmly restrained by the Eastern Ghost Emperor. King Pingdeng and others seized this last opportunity and rushed to the gate of the Underworld Palace.

They tried their best to push the huge door that was thousands of feet high.

Rumble!
The space trembled, making bursts of harsh sounds.

It seems to be telling of the great changes that are about to come.

The gods of the underworld work together.

The long-sealed door to the heavenly palace finally began to move slowly.

For the first time, the light from inside the heavenly palace flowed to the outside world.

That light contains many benefits including rich spiritual energy.

This is the foundation of the underworld for tens of thousands of years.

Once the gate to the Heavenly Palace is opened, all this knowledge will be fed back to the outside world.

Greatly enhance the power of the outside world.

But for the underworld world that is about to be promoted, not to mention failure, at least the promotion time will be postponed indefinitely.

"..."

"Opening the gate of Heaven without the order of the Lord of the Underworld is a capital crime!!!"

"I never thought that this group of barbarians could really stir up such a big wave in our world. Before the Lord of the Underworld retired, he told us to protect the world. If these barbarians really open the door to the Heavenly Palace and enter, what will we say?!"

"Yong, how do you explain the fact that you concealed the barbarian identities of your subordinates?"

"Yang, since things have come to this, and even the emperor's disciple Xu has been possessed, hiding this little thing from your subordinates is not worth mentioning."

"The most urgent task is to deal with the things at hand first..."

"I agree."

Otherworldly voices came from the void.

In the sky, seven figures with different expressions appeared one after another.

They are the last seven governors of the nine provinces in the world.

Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, and Yongzhou.

Seven people attacked suddenly, and seven bright rays of light were cast towards the huge gate of the Heavenly Palace.

Rumble!
The tiny gap that was originally pushed open disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

King Pingdeng and others tried their best, but they could not shake it at all.

"Do not!!!"

The demigod of the underworld roared in despair.

They are not willing!!!
The mission seemed to be about to be completed, but in the end it failed.

"The nine provinces of the world are one. These barbarians dared to imprison Xu's soul. They have violated the rules of heaven and must be punished by the most severe punishment in the underworld."

"First extract his soul and find out Xu's whereabouts..."

"I agree."

The seven disciples of the emperor looked down upon King Pingdeng and his companions, and commanded the local demigods to surround and kill them, while they themselves threw themselves into the battlefield against the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

Eight against one!

Even though the Eastern Ghost Emperor had a deep understanding of the Lord of the Underworld's path to deification and had gone the furthest, he quickly fell into a disadvantage due to the disparity in numbers.

"Humph, barbarians are barbarians after all, that's all they can do."

"This body didn't belong to him in the first place. It's surprising that he was able to display such strength just now by relying on this unconventional method."

"This game should end. I am good at soul searching, so leave this to me. I have ten thousand ways to torture his soul and force him to reveal Xu's whereabouts..."

"Wait, did you hear any strange noises?"

Just as a governor was about to take action, someone caught a glimpse of something unusual.

The sound was like a Buddhist chant.

"Hooray, hooray..."

The eight people looked into the distance with sharp eyes, and their expressions instantly became solemn.

They could clearly feel the powerful aura of the master behind the Sanskrit sound.

Finally, at the end of the world, a monk came floating on a lotus.

"Amitabha... In the underworld, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has returned to his throne."

It’s Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!!!
The gods in the underworld were shocked, and many of them were so excited that they shed tears.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a higher status than the Five Ghost Emperors.

They were the first group to receive the method of becoming a god taught by the mysterious woman.

He is also the forerunner of all demigods, leaving the seeds of divinity for later demigods.

Moreover, the mysterious woman also stated that the method of becoming a god that she brought was limited by the rules of the underlying world and did not fully develop the potential of the first batch of demigods.

Even so, those people back then could easily defeat the demigods of the underworld.

Except for the inability to break the immortal body, all other aspects can be stabilized.

"Who are you, and why are you so powerful? I'm sure you're not a disciple of the Emperor, but... why do I feel like your strength is not inferior to ours?"

Doubt appeared on the faces of the eight governors.

Although they said that they were not inferior, in fact, the oppressive feeling brought by Ksitigarbha had already surpassed any of them.

Ksitigarbha put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, we are on different paths."

One of the Emperor's disciples said in a deep voice: "Since you were reincarnated into this world thousands of years ago, you should have followed the path created by the Lord of the Underworld. Why did it turn out like this... Did you find another path?"

However, as soon as these words were spoken, the other disciples of the emperor refuted them.

"Impossible! Tens of thousands of years have passed, and facts have proven that the road opened by our Lord is the only way to reach the other side. As disciples of the Emperor, we are guided by our Lord. On this road, no one can go further than us!!!"

"Which path to becoming a god did you take?!!!"

The eight governors talked at once and stared at Ksitigarbha. They absolutely did not believe that there was a way to become a god in this world that could rival the Lord of the Underworld.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said calmly: "The road is made by people. Even if someone opens up a road, does that mean it is correct? People don't have to follow a set road."

When these words were spoken, the eight governors were struck by lightning.

These native extraordinary people of the underworld have enjoyed the convenience brought by the road opened up by the Lord of the Underworld since they were born. Whether it is their family members, elders, or masters... they have all repeatedly warned them that this is a bright road that leads directly to the other side.

They must follow the footsteps of the Lord of the Underworld steadfastly.

Facts have also proved that on this ready-made road, they are going further and further, and their strength is overwhelming everyone else. Although they have not yet reached the other side, as long as they keep moving forward, one day they will see the back of the Lord of the Underworld.

But now, Ksitigarbha's words made them realize that the other party was actually taking another path on the road opened up by the Lord of the Underworld. There was obviously a broad road ahead, but he chose to abandon it and open up an unknown path from the side.

This is definitely seeking death!!!
But now, this path has allowed Ksitigarbha to walk further than them.

Doesn't this mean they've taken the wrong path?
Even...the Lord of the Underworld has taken the wrong path?
impossible! ! !
How could the Lord of the Underworld make a mistake!!!

The eight governors were filled with fear and quickly suppressed this terrible thought. They shouted at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "You barbarian, today I will let you see what the right path is. You are only taking a wrong path that will never lead you to the other side!"

The war broke out immediately!!!

The eight disciples of the emperor faced off against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the Eastern Ghost Emperor.

"I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty. Please enter my hell."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was muttering something.

In an instant, endless Buddha light gushed out.

Inside is an independent world, with countless ferocious ghosts with their hands clasped together, and the negative energy and Buddhist spirit intertwined around their bodies, full of absurd and weird atmosphere.

In just a moment, eight people were dragged in.

Boom! ! !
This is a showdown of unprecedented magnitude.

Various strange phenomena in the heaven and earth emerged one after another, and the divine lights collided and fought with each other.

This is the first time such a battle has taken place since the establishment of the underworld tens of thousands of years ago.

But the eight disciples of the emperor have the advantage in numbers after all.

The path to godhood that they take is filled with marks and insights left by the Lord of the Underworld along the way. They only need to follow it unswervingly to enjoy many benefits.

The path of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was opened up on the basis of the path of the Lord of the Underworld.

Perhaps at some stage we will be able to overtake others.

But the road ahead is still dark and full of unknowns.

Maybe in the future, Ksitigarbha will be able to dominate the nine provinces, but definitely not now.

After a long confrontation, the eight disciples of the emperor finally succeeded in suppressing Ksitigarbha and the Eastern Ghost Emperor again, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they won by virtue of their numerical advantage, they still won in the end.

This proves that they are on the right path.

The Lord of the Underworld is also right.

It is these barbarians who have led us astray.

"You barbarians, this is the end of it all."

"..."

Boom!
A melodious yet extremely shocking collision sound was heard.

Just as the fierce fighting was raging on the two battlefields, the huge gate of the Heavenly Palace was banged loudly.

The seal that was originally reinforced by the seven disciples of the emperor was actually broken.

The gate to the heavenly palace was opened with a gap as wide as an arm.

"Who is it? Who else dares to open the door to the Heavenly Palace?!!!"

The angry roars of the eight disciples of the emperor shook the surroundings.

From a distance, a steady female voice came.

"Goddess Hou Tu, return to your throne!"

Although the sound was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone present.

The gods of the underworld who were fighting were shocked.

They looked up at the sky and shouted excitedly: "It's the Queen Mother of the Earth!!"

Hou Tu Niangniang controls yin and yang and governs all things.

He is the actual founder of the underworld and the Yinsi.

He was also the first demigod to become a god among the first batch of demigods.

Now, she has also appeared!!
"Damn it, how many of these barbarians are hiding in our world? Where did this guy come from? Why didn't we know anything about it before?!!"

The eight disciples of the emperor were enraged.

Is this ever going to end? ! ! !

How come there are barbarians from the underworld!!!

Even as the rulers of Kyushu, they felt that the situation was gradually getting out of control!!
"Even if there is one more person, what does it matter? This is the underworld, and we are protected by the Lord of the Underworld. No one can break through the gate of the Heavenly Palace. We still have the advantage in numbers. I don't believe that we can't kill all these barbarians!!!"

The eight disciples of the emperor attacked Hou Tu Niangniang in unison.

The goddess Hou Tu walked steadily forward, and a strange light shone with every step.

"I will transform the six realms with my remaining body, and my good and evil merits will enter the cycle of reincarnation."

"The six paths are established, and reincarnation appears."

"cross!"

Behind her, the light of the Six Paths of Reincarnation shone brightly, instantly covering the entire place.

In an instant, those weaker local demigods felt strange changes in their bodies, as if they were in reincarnation. Some of them quickly lost strength, while others became alienated and looked like animals...

The faces of the eight emperor's disciples changed drastically, realizing the horror of Queen Hou Tu.

They immediately roared to the sky: "All the nine provinces under heaven listen to my order. No matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, all demigods, quickly come to guard the gate of the Heavenly Palace."

"Those who violate the order will have their entire clan removed from the underworld register and exiled to the lower world."

"You will never be allowed to enter the underworld!!!"
