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

"What discoveries have been made?" the God of Destruction asked.

His destructive power is formidable in attack and lethality, but he is not very good at analysis and examination.

"Nothing unusual, just like an ordinary plant."

The Asura God put down the demon eye flower and examined it for a long time, but found nothing unusual.

Other deities who examined the Demon Eye Flower also found nothing wrong with it.

"keep going."

With such formidable strength at our disposal, regardless of whether the flowers on both sides of the road are in any condition, we cannot afford to delay any longer.

No matter what schemes or tricks Ning Qiuyang might have, they are all futile in the face of absolute power.

But after they had traveled a little further, three different roads appeared ahead.

The ordinary soul masters that the Asura God sent out to scout the way have all disappeared without a trace, vanished on some unknown road.

"Your Majesty, which path should we take?"

The three roads seem no different, all built out of thin air, and the long roads lead to who knows where.

The God of Destruction's brows furrowed.

In the eyes of the previous God of Destruction, successfully invading the underworld was almost equivalent to a major success.

But now, quite a bit of time has already been wasted on this strange ancient road, and now we are faced with a choice of three.

Why not just ignore the options and force your way into the underworld?

The Yellow Springs Ancient Path is essentially a passage connecting the underworld and the Douluo Continent. Breaking it rashly would be extremely dangerous, and one could easily be swept into the turbulent flow of time and space.

Rather than making a reckless breakthrough, it's better to make a choice and find the right path.

"Why don't we split up? We'll surely find the right path eventually," the Asura God said impatiently.

He could feel the aura resonating with the power of the Asura God on all three different paths, though the strength varied slightly.

He couldn't be sure which path was the right one, but subconsciously he wanted to choose the middle one.

"No, who knows what we'll encounter if we continue forward? Rashly dividing our forces will only weaken our strength."

"Then which road do you suggest we take?"

"If it's on the right, then take the road on the right."

The leader of the Asura Gods was not happy; he preferred to choose the middle path.

Although the goddess of life did not speak, the road to her left held a greater attraction for her.

The other gods also had their own feelings, but this was clearly not the time for disputes and arguments.

The God of Destruction took the lead, guiding the other gods onto the ancient path in the middle.

"Shura, you..."

As soon as he stepped onto the middle path, the God of Destruction felt an extremely clear sense of destruction, as if an era was ending and all things were being destroyed in despair.

He was about to ask the Asura God about his feelings when he suddenly realized that the Asura God, who had been walking beside him, had disappeared without him noticing.

Moreover, not only that, but only one-third of the entire team remained. Apart from the God of Asura, even the Goddess of Life had disappeared.

"How is this going?"

The third of the gods following behind the God of Destruction also suddenly realized that so many people were missing from the group.

They were all gods, the God of Destruction or the King of Gods, yet they were completely unaware of the disappearance of so many people.

The God of Destruction's expression suddenly turned much gloomy.

Before they had even fully set foot in the underworld, a series of unexpected events had occurred, casting a shadow over the mission.

"There was a problem with the road just now."

In choosing their path, they underwent a spatial jump, which was the only way to separate them so easily. "Let's go back and rejoin the others."

The God of Destruction calmly gave the order.

"God King, we can't find the way we came. The fork in the road has disappeared."

After retreating a considerable distance, they still couldn't find the intersection where they had chosen one of the three options; all that remained was a long road stretching into the distance.

The anger between the God of Destruction's brows became even more pronounced, and the increasingly intense sense of destructive power made his divine power surge wildly.

"Ignore everything else and keep going. He does have some tricks up his sleeve. Let's see what use these low-level tactics are when we stand in front of Ning Qiuyang."

The God of Destruction no longer hesitated or wavered, and led the gods around him at full speed toward the end of the Yellow Springs Ancient Road.

On the Asura God's side, he and the God of Destruction discovered the team had been separated at about the same time.

Moreover, he was quite certain that he had not taken the road on the right.

Because the Asura aura emanating from this road was the strongest he had ever sensed from any other road.

"You go ahead and scout the way."

Tang Xiao was always kept by the God of Asura's side and did not disappear like the other Soul Masters before him.

The God of Asura was worried that similar situations would occur again, so he sent Tang Chen as a scout to explore the way.

When Tang Chen was by the side of the Asura God, he became very obedient and did whatever he was asked to do.

As they continued onward, the Asura God's eyes gradually grew more fervent.

His connection to the Asura Demon Sword grew stronger, which proved that he was about to set foot in the underworld and finally find his divine weapon.

After entering the underworld, Ning Qiuyang surveyed everything from the perspective of the Underworld Emperor.

Those Soul Masters who were sent ahead as cannon fodder to scout ahead have already entered the Underworld, but they were directly sent to the Five Directions Purgatory.

Countless vengeful spirits and ghosts in purgatory will welcome them, making them feel right at home.

The reason why the God of Destruction and his companions embarked on three different paths was both due to Ning Qiuyang's manipulation and a projection of their own inner desires.

If they hadn't each harbored their own desires, Ning Qiuyang wouldn't have been able to separate them without anyone noticing.

The path the God of Destruction treads symbolizes his past life, a life that has vanished and is now filled with an atmosphere of destruction.

The Asura God treads the path of this life, and is aided by the Asura Path within the incomplete cycle of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, making it incredibly alluring to the Asura God.

The path that the goddess of life treads on symbolizes the afterlife, the realm of rebirth and reincarnation, which also evokes longing in the goddess of life.

The pressure from the underworld was too great when the three god-kings entered the underworld together, so Ning Qiuyang had to separate them.

Ning Qiuyang's goal is to even send some of the gods out of the underworld to embark on the path of this life.

His mind was mostly focused on this group of people. Finally, Ning Qiuyang, taking advantage of the close connection between the path of this life and the mortal world, reversed the direction of the Yellow Spring Ancient Road without the God of Destruction and other gods noticing.

"Your Majesty, it seems the exit is just ahead."

The God of Destruction and his party traveled at full speed for a long time when suddenly, a deity saw a different light appear on the road ahead.

"Ready to fight."

While the God of Destruction breathed a sigh of relief, he also became more vigilant.

It seems they are about to officially set foot in the underworld, and what awaits them is Ning Qiuyang's all-out attack.

The light ahead grew brighter and brighter. Asura God and the others passed through the light and finally left the Ancient Road to the Underworld.

The God of Destruction also briefly lost sight of himself as he passed through the light.

He feared a sneak attack, so he stirred with destructive divine power and prepared to unleash destructive divine lightning.

"Your Majesty, it is I." (End of Chapter)
