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

Chapter 92 The Flower of the Past Life Returns to Its Place, Hellfire of the Netherworld
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, are you prepared to remain in the underworld and serve me for all eternity?"

The Demon King exclaimed excitedly, "Your subordinate is willing to serve you, even unto death!"

Finally, he can get a stable job.

“Very good. In the underworld, there should be flowers of three lives, connecting the past, present, and future. Ah Yin is the flower of the future, and you should be the flower of the past.”

Ah Yin's resurrection is a symbol of new life, while the Demon King has a long lifespan, can control countless plant soul beasts, and has countless past experiences, thus meeting the requirements of the Flower of the Past Life.

Whether it's connecting to the past life or linking to the future, a powerful force is needed as a medium. Only the power of the Demon King and the Blue Silver Emperor, both soul beasts over 100,000 years old, can meet the requirements.

"My lord, shall I also grow up on the banks of the River of Oblivion, just like the Blue Silver Emperor?" the King of Ten Thousand Demons asked.

"No." Ning Qiuyang shook his head.

The journey from the River of Oblivion to the Six Paths of Reincarnation is the path to the next life.

The path to one's past life is from the Yellow Springs Road through the Gates of Hell, all the way to the Terrace of Longing for Home.

The Viewing Platform and the Six Paths of Reincarnation have not yet been established. Perhaps when the Flowers of Three Lifetimes gather and connect to the other shore, these two will reveal a part of their true form.

Upon arriving at the Gates of Hell, the Crimson King leaped down from them.

"King of Ten Thousand Demons, you've joined the Underworld too?"

"Yes, we can work together again from now on," the Demon King replied with a smile.

Fate is fickle; the two left the Star Dou Great Forest and are now colleagues in the underworld.

"This is it. King of Ten Thousand Demons, be prepared. After becoming a symbol of your past life, your Demon Eye Tree will undergo a complete transformation."

The King of Ten Thousand Demons became serious and solemnly said:
"Your subordinate understands, sir. Please proceed with the plan."

He witnessed the transformation of the Blue Silver Emperor. It could be said that the Blue Silver Emperor had essentially become a completely new plant-based soul beast, bearing almost no resemblance to the Blue Silver Grass.

The Demon King guessed that he would also undergo this change. Although he was a little nervous, his attitude was extremely firm.

As a demonic tree with demonic eyes, his strength is already close to its maximum limit, so he does not resist change.

"Alright, you can stay here."

Ning Qiuyang pointed to the empty space in front of the Gates of Hell.

Without hesitation, the Demon King immediately transformed into his true form as the Demon Eye Tree.

A colossal tree rose from the ground, its powerful and complex root system spreading rapidly, and the myriad branches of the Demon Eye Tree stretched out freely.

The Demon King's Demon Eye Tree is extremely exaggerated, seemingly able to connect from the Netherworld to the heavens.

"Past events are attributed to causes."

Ning Qiuyang's divinely bestowed skull released endless light, but this time it did not reveal the past of the Demon King, but rather transformed his various memories into his past life.

The dense branches and leaves of the Demon Eye Tree fell one by one, each leaf carrying a hazy light.

If you look closely, you'll find that each leaf contains a continuous stream of images and memories, like the life experiences of a certain life.

The leaves drifted down to the road to the underworld, to the gates of hell, and on the long road that followed.

The leaves fell to the ground and immediately blossomed into bewitching and eerie flowers.

The deep purple flowers bloomed quietly, each petal bearing an eye-like pattern. No matter which direction you looked at them from, it felt as if the flowers were secretly watching you.

The leaves of the Demon Eye Tree all fell off, followed by the branches, the trunk, and even the complex root system withered and decayed, leaving only a piece of withered wood filled with the aura of vicissitudes.

"The King of Ten Thousand Demons is dead?"

The Crimson King's eyes widened as the Demon King dissipated his last breath right before his eyes.

"It wouldn't be wrong to say he's dead, because he only exists in the past now."

As Ning Qiuyang finished speaking, the still elegant and handsome Demon King walked out from the other end of the Yellow Springs Road.

"Your subordinate greets Your Majesty." The Demon King first bowed to Ning Qiuyang, then addressed the Crimson King:

"I'm not completely dead yet, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

The Crimson King curled his lip, realizing he had been slightly saddened, thinking the old Demon King was dead.

The Demon King picked up a piece of withered wood left behind by his original form. "My lord, what is this?"

He clearly felt that his original body had completely dissipated and transformed into another life form, and he himself did not even know that a small part of his body remained.

"Take this. This piece of dead wood contains all the imprints of your time as the Demon Eye Tree. If you refine and nurture it carefully, it has a great chance of becoming a divine artifact."

"Artifact?"

The Demon King never expected to have such an unexpected gain.

The Crimson King leaned closer and said, "King of Ten Thousand Demons, you must feel a little awkward using your past self as a weapon, right? Why don't you just give it to me? I won't mind."

"Pah!" The Demon King glared at the Crimson King.

"Don't even think about it. You three-headed dog, do you think you're worthy of using my true form as a weapon?"

"Hey, Lao Wan, you're being a bit unreasonable. If it weren't for the fact that you've just been reborn, I would have given you a good beating."

Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Crimson King would never have dared to speak to the Demon King like that.

The Demon King was much older than him, and his strength was also much greater.

However, after becoming a guardian beast of the prison, a small portion of the Crimson King's power has been transformed into divine power, increasing his strength several times over.

The Crimson King felt that he could now defeat several of his past selves, including the Bear King, whom he had never dared to provoke in the past. He was now confident that he could win.

The Demon King's lips twitched; he felt that the Crimson King was getting a little too arrogant.

Although he has just changed his form and is not yet fully familiar with his current abilities, the portion of those abilities he has mastered is enough to leave the Red King helpless against him.

"My lord, may I have a spar with the Crimson King?"

Ning Qiuyang waved his hand and said, "Sure, let me see how strong you are too."

The Demon King and the Crimson King felt a pang of anxiety. If they lost in a sparring match in front of their lord, wouldn't they be seen as weak and useless?

Both the Crimson King and the Demon King realized they had acted impulsively.

If you want to have a friendly competition, you can do it privately. Losing in front of the leaders is very embarrassing.

The three-eyed golden lion suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and after listening to the two's words, it disappeared in a flash.

Before long, she brought Ah Yin and Zi Ji with her.

King of Ten Thousand Demons: ...

Red King:......

As soon as Zi Ji arrived, she said, "Red King, you want to fight the King of Ten Thousand Demons. Hurry up and let me see how much you have improved."

Murasaki also felt that her strength had improved a lot, but without a direct comparison, she always felt a little uncertain.

Since the Crimson King and she both became guardian beasts of the prison, the Crimson King's strength should have increased by about the same amount as hers.

The words had already been spoken, and neither the Demon King nor the Crimson King could take them back; they had no choice but to fight.

"Old Wan, be careful, my flames are completely different from before."

After saying that, the Crimson King reverted to his three-headed Crimson Demon Hound form. The middle head opened its mouth wide, and the purplish-black flames seemed to be alive as it chased after the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

The Crimson King's original hellfire was already very powerful, but this purplish-black flame is even more formidable.

After the Crimson King converted some of his divine power and became the Prison Guardian Beast, he gained a certain degree of mastery over the power of the Netherworld, and his flames also evolved.

His three heads each contained a different flame.

However, he has not yet fully converted his own power into divine power; only the Netherworld Hellfire contained in the middle head can be used.

The Demon King's expression turned serious. In the past, he would have had a headache facing such flames.

He was originally a plant-based spirit beast, so his resistance to fire was relatively low, let alone fire that far exceeded the extreme.

But now his true nature is no longer that of the Demon Eye Tree.

A hazy light and shadow appeared around him, and the Demon King became illusory and hazy, like a lingering shadow left over from the distant past.
