Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

A powerful force erupted from the realms of light and darkness and death.

On the battlefield, many Soul Masters engaged in combat couldn't help but look in the direction covered by the two major domains.

Under the gaze of many Soul Masters, Qian Renxue's angel wings drooped weakly, and she fell into Wuhun City like a meteorite.

"His Holiness the Pope...has been defeated?"

A Soul Master from the Spirit Hall spoke with a strained voice.

Regardless, Qian Renxue is the Pope of the Spirit Hall and the spiritual support for all Spirit Hall Soul Masters.

Her defeat immediately reduced the spirit and morale of many of the Spirit Hall's Soul Masters by more than half.

"Dad, it seems like the Spirit Hall is really going to lose."

"Dean, what should we do?"

The students from Blazing Fire Academy, Divine Wind Academy, and Heavenly Water Academy were somewhat panicked. They chose to side with the Spirit Hall because they felt that the future lay with the Spirit Hall.

But if the Spirit Hall is about to perish, what's the point of talking about the future?

The deans of the three academies gathered together; all of them were at the Soul Douluo level. After joining the Soul Hall camp, under the possession of the spirits of the dead, they could also unleash the strength of a Title Douluo.

"What should we do? Break through or continue fighting the Soul Masters of the two great empires to the very end?"

"Do you think we have any chance of breaking through? We've already chosen sides. Not only is the chance of breaking through slim, but even if we do manage to break through, there will be no place for us in Douluo Continent."

"Then shall we continue to fight to the death?"

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Rather than wavering and hesitating, we might as well fight to the death."

While Ning Qiuyang and Qian Renxue were fighting, Sword Douluo and Tang Chen were locked in a fierce battle.

If Tang Chen were still dominated by the consciousness of Tang San and Rakshasa God, and had not completely merged with them to become somewhat insane, he would choose to fight Qian Renxue rather than the Sword Douluo who looked like Ning Qiuyang.

But madness has its advantages; at least his fear of Ning Qiuyang has lessened considerably.

As the two fought fiercely, Tang Chen was not burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire. He became completely insane and seemed to be getting stronger with each battle.

Of course, Sword Douluo was no pushover either. In an attack-to-attack battle, even though Tang Chen went completely mad, he still gradually gained the upper hand.

But just then, he noticed that the outcome of another battle had already been decided.

"So fast?"

Sword Douluo still wanted to fight Tang Chen one-on-one and kill him with his sword.

Sword Douluo is no greenhorn; he knows what's important and what's not. The big picture is paramount, and whether he can defeat Tang Chen in a one-on-one fight is a secondary matter.

"Xiaoxue, are you alright?"

Sword Douluo asked, feigning concern.

He still harbored some resentment towards Ning Qiuyang when he said this.

He finally understood that Ning Qiuyang was a womanizer who, despite already having Princess Rongrong, was still constantly flirting with other women.

"Cough cough, I'm fine."

Qian Renxue was pale. Although she took flight again, her body swayed unsteadily, as if she would fall again at any moment.

"His Holiness the Pope."

The fact that Qian Renxue didn't die actually gave many Spirit Hall Soul Masters who were on the verge of despair a little renewed hope.

Even if His Holiness the Pope is injured, as long as he is not dead, there is still hope.

“Abandon the city walls and retreat to Papal Hill to hold the fort.”

As if squeezing out the last of her potential, Qian Renxue unleashed the Light and Dark Domain once more, covering the retreat of numerous Soul Masters to Pope Mountain.

In the realm of gods, the five god-kings constantly listen to the specific battle situation in the lower realm.

Upon hearing that the allied forces of the two great empires had occupied the city walls and that the Spirit Hall's forces were suffering repeated defeats and could only put up a desperate resistance, the God of Destruction gave the order:
"Be prepared, the spatial passage between the underworld and Douluo Continent could open at any time."

"Yes."

In the lower realm, after retreating to Mount Papa, the Spirit Hall's resistance became increasingly difficult. Qian Renxue was "severely injured," and Sword Douluo almost single-handedly fought against Ning Qiuyang and Tang Chen.

"This kid doesn't even know how to hold back; he really wants to break this old man's bones."

Ning Qiuyang strives for realism in his acting, which greatly increases the pressure on Sword Douluo.

Suddenly, Sword Douluo's sword energy surged wildly, forcibly forcing Ning Qiuyang and Tang Chen back.

"Xue Qinghe, you don't actually think you've already won, do you?"

Sword Douluo, bearing Ning Qiuyang's face, stood holding his sword, exuding an indescribable arrogance and domineering presence.

"It's obvious you're doomed to lose."

Ning Qiuyang also stood with his sword in hand, and coldly replied.

Tang Chen wielded a divine longsword in one hand and a Haotian hammer in the other, his bloodshot eyes filled with madness, ready to pounce at any moment.

"Hmph, your methods are quite good, but the real battle is far beyond your control."

As soon as Sword Douluo finished speaking, a surge of yin energy emerged.

Just then, Tang Chen attacked Sword Douluo with a sword in one hand and the Clear Sky Hammer in the other.

"What is this idiot trying to do? Asura God, control your people."

In this final moment, the divine realm kept a close eye on the battle.

Just as the God of Destruction was about to open the Yin-Yang passage with Ning Qiuyang, Tang Chen rushed forward at that moment.

What if he interferes and the passage to the underworld doesn't open? Can Tang Chen bear that responsibility?

For the God of Destruction, killing Ning Qiuyang was secondary; the most important thing was to seize the Underworld Plane and integrate into the God Realm.

If the whole plan is ruined because of that idiot Tang Chen, even tearing him apart wouldn't appease me.

The Asura God's expression was also very unpleasant.

Tang Chen was indeed a spy he planted. If Tang San and Rakshasa God's consciousnesses were still independent, it would be fine, but now Tang Chen is a madman, and he doesn't have a good way to control Tang Chen.

In the lower realm, while Tang Chen was tempted, he also made his move.

While seemingly cooperating with Tang Chen's attack on Sword Douluo, a desolate ancient road still appeared, emanating a faint yin energy that caused the temperature in the entire Spirit Hall to drop significantly.

Everyone thought that the Ancient Road to the Underworld was opened by Sword Douluo, but only Ning Qiuyang could summon the Road to the Underworld to this extent. However, the two were fighting at the time, so others could not tell.

"They all retreated to the road to the underworld."

Qian Renxue gave another order.

Taking advantage of the arrival of the Road to the Underworld and the uncertainty and fear among the soul masters of the two empires, the group of soul masters from the Spirit Hall side hurriedly retreated towards the Road to the Underworld.

"so far so good."

"Thanks to not choosing to break out, I knew that the Spirit Hall must still have trump cards and a chance to retreat to other places."

Many Soul Masters who joined the Spirit Hall secretly rejoiced.

Just when they thought they were about to be completely wiped out, they suddenly found another way out. The feeling of being saved from a desperate situation was like a drowning person suddenly being able to breathe fresh air.

The Spirit Hall retreated swiftly, but the spirit masters of the two great empires dared not pursue them.

The Ancient Road to the Underworld leads to a plane similar to the realm of gods, and they dared not venture into its lair.

Spirit world
"Thankfully, that idiot didn't disrupt the opening of the underworld dimension passage."

"Gods, heed my command!" the God of Destruction roared.

"Yes," the gods replied.

"Follow me down to the mortal realm, crush the Spirit Hall, and conquer the underworld."

"Yes." (End of Chapter)
