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

Chapter 87 The Sixth Divine Test: Borrowing Tang Hao's Wife

[The second test of the Underworld Emperor: The search for the Prison-Suppressing Divine Beast has been completed.]

[Divine Trial Reward 1: All Soul Rings' Age Increased by Two Thousand Years]

[Divine Test Reward Two: A Divine Gift of a Right Arm Bone]

[Divine Test Reward Three: One Divine Soul Ring.]

In the underworld, within the Tower of the Ten Kings of Hell.

"The second divine test, which has been delayed for so long, is finally over."

When the three guardian beasts of the underworld—Red King, Purple Princess, and Three-Eyed Golden Lion—returned to their positions and completely merged with the fortunes of the underworld, completing the initial transformation from soul beasts to guardian beasts, the second divine test of the Underworld Emperor was finally declared complete.

"My little ancestor, my little ancestor, please be gentle."

Outside the Ten Kings of Hell Tower, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still kicking the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm like a ball.

Although it has become a toy, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm still feels that life is much better now than before.

It's a spirit beast that's nearly a million years old, so being kicked around like a ball won't hurt it, which is better than having its energy continuously absorbed.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses the ability to teleport in the underworld, she still visits the Ten Kings of Hell Tower every now and then, like a playful pet that never forgets to go home for a visit.

"Xiao Jin."

Ning Qiuyang waved to the three-eyed golden lion from the top of the tower.

"Go to the gates of hell and bring these two people back."

Ning Qiuyang used Yin energy to form the likenesses of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded quickly, kicked the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm aside, and disappeared in a flash.

"Boss, can you arrange a job for me? I, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, am not afraid of hardship or fatigue. I just want to make a contribution to the underworld."

"The little demon star who used it as a ball should leave temporarily," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm hurriedly requested.

"Okay, you can stay here. I have a task for you to complete later."

"Great, boss, I'll definitely complete the mission."

Tianmeng Bingcan's eyes welled up with tears.

The days of being treated like a football all day long are finally coming to an end.

On the verge of death.

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were leading a group of souls from the Yellow Springs Road into the underworld.

"Why are there three dog heads at the gates of hell?"

"Little girl, I am not a dog, but a mastiff."

The "dog head" on the verge of death suddenly spoke, startling Zhu Zhuqing.

"You can talk?"

The Red King leaped from the gates of hell.

"I'm not just good at talking."

The Crimson King could sense a strong underworld aura emanating from Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, realizing that they were likely also from the underworld and, like him, subordinates of Ning Qiuyang.

So even though Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were human, he didn't speak harshly to them.

"you are?"

After their initial panic, Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun quickly regained their composure.

If we were outside, we might encounter enemies.

But this is the underworld, Ning Qiuyang's territory, so there's definitely no danger here.

"I am the prison-guarding divine beast appointed by the Lord. I guard the Gates of Hell. You may call me the Crimson King."

"Red King, my sister and I are also subordinates of the Lord, responsible for receiving the souls of the dead into the Gates of Hell. May we pass through?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing felt an extremely powerful pressure from the Crimson King, knowing that this three-headed dog was far stronger than them.

"of course."

The Crimson King made way, and Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were about to lead the souls of the dead into the Gates of Hell when the figure of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly appeared. "It's you! Come with me quickly, the Lord wants to see you."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion is less than ten thousand years old and was originally unable to speak.

After being designated by Ning Qiuyang as a divine beast to suppress destiny, she not only gained some amazing abilities but also learned to speak.

"you are?"

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing were a little confused. They hadn't been away from the underworld for very long, so why were strange soul beasts appearing one after another?

“She is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and like me, she is one of the Prison-Suppressing Divine Beasts,” the Crimson King explained.

Compared to the terrifying appearance of the Crimson King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is much more pleasing to the eye. Moreover, as a divine beast of destiny in the underworld, it makes Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing feel closer to her.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion can not only teleport itself in the underworld, but also take others with it.

In the blink of an eye, she led the two back to the outside of the Ten Kings of Hell Tower.

"My lord, I have brought the person back."

The three-eyed golden lion hops and leaps, only speaking when it reaches its highest point.

"Well done, go have some fun," Ning Qiuyang said, waving his hand.

"Oh, right, leave this fat worm behind. I need it to do something."

"Oh, okay." The three-eyed golden lion was carefree and showed no sign of disappointment at losing a toy.

"I'm going to go play with Sister Ziji."

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion left, Ning Qiuyang said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm:
"Since you want to work, take these wandering souls to Taozhi Mountain in the east and keep them under guard. Don't let them run around."

Since the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld have not yet been established, these souls who enter the underworld cannot be reincarnated and need to be settled somewhere.

There are five mountain ranges in the underworld, each a ghostly realm, and Peach Blossom Mountain is one of them.

"what?"

Guardians of the dead? What kind of job is that? A jailer?
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm never expected that Ning Qiuyang would give it this task.

"Your mental strength is not bad; you can restrain these souls. You need to do a good job and not slack off. If you can't even handle this, I'll hand you over to Xiong Jun and the others."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately perked up.

"I will definitely be able to handle this matter well, please rest assured, my lord."

I should stick to my promising job as a jailer and never go back to the Star Dou Great Forest to be held and have my energy drained by Xiong Jun and the others.

"Are you completing a divine test?"

After they all left, Ning Qiuyang let Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing enter the Ten Kings of Hell Tower and asked them questions.

"Yes, Brother Qiuyang, just now, we have completed the first test of the Black and White Impermanence."

The tests administered by the Black and White Impermanence were relatively easy to pass in the first few stages.

For example, the first divine test involves actively drawing the souls of one hundred soul masters into the underworld.

The second test involves guiding fifty Great Soul Masters and the souls of three hundred Soul Masters into the underworld.

The further you progress, the more souls you need to help, and the higher the quality requirements become for those souls.

"Continue to work hard to complete the divine test and become true Black and White Impermanence as soon as possible."

After talking with the two for a while, Ning Qiuyang told them to continue with the next part of the divine test. Ning Qiuyang then sealed the Ten Kings of Hell Tower to prepare to absorb the divinely bestowed soul bones and soul rings.

……

[The sixth trial of the Underworld Emperor: The secluded road to the Yellow Springs, the surging River of Oblivion. One must find the Three-Life Flower, corresponding to the past, present, and future lives, and seek plant spirit beasts or spirit masters corresponding to each of these three lives, so that the power of the past, present, and future lives can be integrated in the Underworld.]

After Ning Qiuyang successfully absorbed the divinely bestowed soul bone and soul ring, he faced the sixth divine test from the Underworld Emperor.

"Sanshenghua?"

There are very few plant-based soul beasts that meet the requirements of the Three Lives Three Worlds series, and even fewer soul masters.

Moreover, connecting the power of three lifetimes is something human soul masters cannot do; at least two of the three require soul beasts, and they must be soul beasts over 100,000 years old.

"The Demon King is the most suitable candidate. Besides him, we need to find a plant soul beast that is over 100,000 years old. The Blue Silver King is not qualified enough. We will have to borrow Haozi's wife."
