Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 627 Soul Worship of the Underworld Lord, the Mastermind

The clear sky suddenly turned, and darkness descended upon the dust.

The Flame Martial Domain instantly became dark and lifeless.

At the foot of Yin-Yang Mountain, the old beggar, who was in a state of ecstasy, suddenly looked up at the ethereal sphere floating above the altar.

Then he suddenly turned around and looked towards the eastern sea.

He kept muttering curses under his breath:

"You're always causing me trouble!"

Finally, he muttered to himself:

"But you did a pretty good job!"

As he spoke, he took out three more sticks of incense and reluctantly placed them in the incense burner held by Chen Gou'er.

With one hand on Chen Gou'er's shoulder, he hooked his foot, and the three-legged square table suddenly turned upside down, landing above the square altar.

Before Chen Gou'er could react, the old beggar shouted:
"Turning the world upside down!"

The three golden incense sticks burned out instantly, sending up a large amount of incense smoke that supported the three-legged square table and inverted the void sphere formed by the Yanwu Domain.

"Roar!"

The old snail, the sea god, which was sweeping from the eastern sea towards the inland, suddenly heard a roar.

A violent storm and towering waves suddenly swept across the East China Sea.

The terrifying pressure caused even his mind to tremble.

In an instant, he sensed the eerie mist spreading across the southeastern sea area of ​​Fubo Domain and Fengling Path, which was rapidly advancing towards the defensive lines drawn by the two domains.

That speed terrified the old snail, the sea god!
Has a great change begun?

So, his Sea God days are over?!

In a panic, he led a group of uneasy gods and rushed quickly toward the Yanwu Domain.

With the Heavenly Heart entering his belly, and his inner world enveloping the Yanwu Domain, Li Wushou was fully aware of every movement within the Yanwu Domain.

Seeing that the old beggar was there to back him up, he had a sudden thought, and the Yinming Sky Curtain covering the Yanwu Domain opened up, and the waters of the Styx River came from the sky, winding across the sky curtain of the Yanwu Domain.

The entire Yanwu Domain is like the underworld!
A vast expanse of yin energy swept down, transforming into a dark rain.

Faint, ethereal souls materialized under the rain of the underworld.

Standing blankly in empty cities, towns, and villages
Looking around, the gazes of the spirits shifted from empty to resentful, and their murderous aura surged forth.

Numerous resentments converged into a sea, which would have spread in all directions had it not been for Li Wushou's Netherworld Canopy that concealed them.

Looking down at the billions of vengeful spirits, Li Wushou spoke softly:
"The chief villain, Blood Buddha, has been killed; the grudges of this life should now be settled!"

His voice was booming, like the law of heaven.

In the winding River Styx in the sky, Dao patterns converged, and a huge phantom of a lotus platform emerged.

The lotus platform rotates three times, and the phantom images of lotus flowers merge into the nether rain, irrigating the soul's body.

The resentment in their eyes gradually faded, and countless souls bowed their heads, prostrating themselves on the ground, and shouted in unison in the direction of Li Wushou:

"Greetings, Lord of the Underworld!"

Li Wushou surveyed the entire Yanwu Domain, his expression unchanged.

Seeing this, he spoke slowly:
"Those who have grievances may enter my underworld to seek a better next life together!"

Upon hearing this, thunder rumbled across the sky above the Yanwu Domain.

On the shores of the East China Sea, towering waves crashed relentlessly against the Yanwu Domain, seemingly intent on submerging it entirely.

As the sea god, the old snail, retreated, he erected a defensive line of incense to extinguish the giant waves, with a group of celestial gods following closely behind.

Fortunately, since the population of Yanwu Domain was already wiped out, the giant wave did not cause any casualties.

Meanwhile, at the foot of Yin-Yang Mountain, the old beggar's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, he bit off a finger and bowed deeply to the illusory image of the incense that had just been called "Come."

He said softly:

"I'm troubling you, fellow Daoist!"

The illusory image of incense nodded slightly and then suddenly disappeared into the sky above the altar.

The next moment, on the shore of the East China Sea.

A shimmering incense flame rose from the ground.

With a light step, the towering waves were trampled underfoot.

Gazing towards the direction from which the eerie mist was sweeping in, the incense-burning avatar slowly spoke, revealing:
"roll!"

"Roar!"

A furious roar echoed from within the eerie fog.

A hideous face loomed in and out of sight in the eerie mist.

The big face stretched out, as if trying to break free, but it couldn't escape.

After a while, the big face and the incense-burning avatar disappeared at the same time.

But the eerie fog rushed toward the mainland at an even faster speed.

At the foot of Yin-Yang Mountain, the old beggar let out a soft hum.

"It's not your turn to make the decisions yet!"

After muttering something to himself, he glanced around casually and suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.

Chen Gou'er, who was sitting cross-legged on the altar, had somehow reached into the fleshy mass formed by the Blood Buddha and was scooping out handfuls of flesh and blood and stuffing them into his mouth.

The lips were shiny and glossy.

The belly that hadn't reacted at all after eating a whole cow was now round and full.

"Chen Gou'er!"

With a loud shout, the old beggar lunged forward. The old man and the young man instantly began to scramble for it.

In Yanwu City, Li Wushou was completely focused.

The lotus flowers scattered on the lotus platform, under his mental manipulation, disintegrated into individual petals.

Petals drifted down, transforming into boats. Souls willing to enter the underworld would leap onto these petal boats and sway towards the River Styx in the sky.

As one soul after another entered the realm, the speed at which the Netherworld evolved suddenly accelerated.

As a result, even his inner world became more stable, and life forms began to autonomously evolve within it.

Although they have not yet bred primates and are only beasts, insects and birds, they are of great significance.

Li Wushou seemed to have grasped some of the true meaning of life.

With their minds focused on the evolution of the inner world, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, almost all the souls within the Yanwu Domain entered the River Styx.

However, there are still a few souls with deep resentment.

Even the purification of the lotus platform could not erase the resentment in their hearts.

It wasn't that they didn't want to step into the petal boat and enter the underworld.

However, their resentment was too great, causing their souls to be too heavy, so much so that even the petal boats could not bear their weight.

With a flick of his sleeve, Li Wushou gathered these souls together in Yanwu City.

There were tens of thousands of them, densely packed together!
These spirits all share a common characteristic: they are far more powerful than ordinary people, and even retain some clear emotions.

Clearly, they had all practiced spiritual cultivation during their lifetimes!
With his eyes open, Li Wushou could immediately tell that these people's souls were tainted with traces of their cultivation of Taoist arts in their previous lives.

Theoretically, the higher one's cultivation level, the more completely one's soul will be preserved.

However, most of the highly skilled cultivators in the Yanwu Domain were devoured by the Blood Buddha.

The highest cultivation level among these people is no more than Foundation Establishment!

With a thought, Li Wushou summoned the Divine Aperture Heaven and Earth, setting up a ferry crossing in front of him.

The light and shadows were interspersed at Jiezi Ferry when two figures suddenly emerged, one thin and the other burly.

The two of them looked stunned as they stepped out.

He then bowed to Li Wushou in front of him and said:

"Chi Xiu/Martial God greets Second Master!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly, flicked his sleeve, and sent the many vengeful spirits behind him into the River Styx in the outer world. Only then did he instruct the two of them:
"You two are permitted to enter and leave the underworld to guard many vengeful spirits."

Once spoken, the law came into effect.

A crescent moon, thick with yin energy, suddenly appeared between their brows.

The next moment, the waters of the River Styx, which they used to avoid at all costs, suddenly felt somewhat familiar to the two of them.

The two men were taken aback for a moment, then accepted the order and replied:

"Follow the order!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly.

"Go!"

Chi Xiu and the Martial God bowed again before retreating into the Jiezi Ferry.

It comes quickly and goes quickly.

But the shock they felt was indescribable.

Upon noticing the sudden disappearance of the White Bone Cicada in the Beast Domain, the two initially thought they had encountered a formidable enemy, and immediately became extremely vigilant throughout the Beast Domain.

Just as things were getting tense, Li Wushou summoned him over.

Only then did I realize that the Second Master had ascended to a higher status?!

Moreover, with so many souls, the entire city of Yanwu was covered in a mass of flesh.

Even though the two had spent their lives in constant battles, they couldn't help but shudder at this moment.

This is the massacre of the entire Yanwu Domain?!

What outrageous thing did the Great Venerable Yanwu do to arouse such murderous intent in the usually kind Second Master?
The two were puzzled and remained silent.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the second master must have his reasons for doing this.

It must be the Great Venerable Yanwu who has gone too far!
Li Wushou looked around; the place was empty.

Yanwu City, once one of the twin stars of the central region, has become a ruin.

Blood Buddha's massacre not only turned Yanwu Domain into a dead zone, but also brought about other extremely serious consequences.

With so many lives lost, "He" is probably about to be born, right?
Just now, when Li Wushou ferried away billions of souls, he directly felt the other party's anger.

If it weren't for the old beggar stopping them, the other party would have rushed straight into the mainland.

Gazing into the depths of the East China Sea, Li Wushou's expression remained indifferent.

She murmured softly:
There is no city in this world that remains unchanged forever.

There should also be no immortals who remain unchanged throughout the ages.

Even if such a creature existed, it should roam freely beyond the heavens and earth, not perch on everyone's heads, sucking their lifeblood.

After speaking, Li Wushou averted his gaze.

Gazing at a high mountain outside Yanwu City.

The mountain is located on the axis between Xuanhuang City and Yanwu City.

The mountains were ablaze with red, covered with a fiery maple forest.

A stream babbles through the maple forest, creating a picturesque scene.

Li Wushou said softly again:
"What do you think, ancestor?"
