I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 82 Guhuo
Everything seemed to have come to an end.

The terrifying ghosts and monsters disappeared, and the immortals disappeared along with them.

The palace complex, like a miracle, and the "resurrected people" whose fates were unknown, were all swallowed up by the collapsed earth.

More and more people cautiously emerged, gathering on the distant streets and the remaining small section of the square, then slowly approaching, staring in disbelief at the cave.

"How come there's another hole down there?"

"It's so big. Isn't the underground all hollow? Didn't we discover this before?"

"Where does this cave lead?"

"No, wait, right, did you guys see clearly who won just now?"

"I don't know, everything is gone."

"Could it be that they all perished together?"

They had no idea what was going on; everything was so unexpected.

This shock wasn't from the unparalleled power of the Candle Dragon before, but from today's transformation, which no one could see or understand.

Not long ago, the person on stage claimed to be Li Jun.

After a while, someone came out and killed Li Jun on the stage.

Then, the person who killed him turned around and became the real Li Jun.

Then the two Li Juns began to fight each other, and they became more and more alike in the process. Finally, it seemed that one of them was about to die, but then an altar full of corpses and blood appeared, and a ghost god came out and ended everything.

When I came to my senses, everything was gone, and all I could see was this big hole.

Lu Gang led his men up and stood at the spot where Li Jun entered the cave, peering inside. This was also the last place where Li Jun disappeared.

He turned around and asked the person next to him.

"Did you all see who won?"

The people here also shook their heads; no one knew whether the Li Jun who ultimately won was really Li Jun.

At this moment, Zhao Nange said, "I just saw the Peach Demon, but it didn't seem like a summoned power. Instead, it was like someone demanding a price from the Peach Demon."

"If that's the case, then the one who was charged a price..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but Lu Gang's expression changed instantly, and he even took a few steps back.

By the time he calmed down, quite some time had passed.

He finally realized that he still had things to do, and that nothing was completely confirmed yet.

At that moment, the sound of propellers came from overhead.

Several helicopters flew over.

The intense light fell, illuminating the depths of the cave.

When the two Li Juns were fighting, there was no sound, and no one dared to approach the area. But now that the two Li Juns had disappeared, the place instantly became bustling and noisy.

Helicopters approached this way, a large number of vehicles surged in, and waves of all sorts of people approached, their purposes unknown; in short, it was chaos.

Lu Gang followed the helicopter's lights and looked down at the large hole.

What's down there?

Zhao Nange: "I don't know, we need to send someone down to find out."

Zheng Shiliang: "My power is best suited for this darkness and underground. Let me go down!"

Lu Gang shook his head and said, "Don't rush, wait for arrangements."

He instructed others to immediately check the surroundings, collect more data, and examine the traces left by the recent battle.

Then he took out his phone and started reporting to the other end.

His first report was naturally about Li Jun's situation, which Lu Gang told him as soon as the other party contacted him.

“We have been paying close attention and analyzing the video and the situation. In the end, it should be the fake Li Jun who died.”

"However, we are not sure whether it is really dead or just pretending to be dead. After all, it has already been resurrected three times, so it wouldn't be surprising if it were to be resurrected one more time."

Lu Gang was very excited to hear the news. He then reported the data from the scene and finally made a summary.

"We have now definitively confirmed that an extremely dangerous demon has appeared in the real world."

"This demon's power may not be as direct and dangerous as that of the Candle Dragon, but it is more unpredictable and more difficult to guard against and deal with."

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Why didn't we see any traces on the lower level?"

"Where did that demon enter the real world from?"

"Or perhaps, was someone summoned in here?"

Lu Gang said, "Its initial state may have been one without emotions, just like other demons or ghosts."

"But it is very special. It seems to be able to transform into a human-like being based on simulation. So it may be different from ordinary demons. It can invade the real world and summon itself."

"That is precisely why it is far more dangerous than other demons."

At this point, Lu Gang looked down at the huge cave below.

"And more importantly, we feel that a part of it may have already appeared in the present world."

The person on the other end of the phone asked again, "Is there any way we can banish it?"

Lu Gang: "The abilities this demon initially displayed include the ability to erode and seize human identities, and even the ability to resurrect the dead."

"We don't know exactly how many sub-sub ...

"But if we continue with our previous methods, it will be difficult to re-exile it to the lower levels."

"We can only find the source and solve it from the source."

“I guess Li Jun also thought of this, so he entered the cave first.”

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "What are your plans next?"

Lu Gang said, "I plan to send Zheng Shiliang down to investigate the situation, to find Li Jun's whereabouts, and at the same time to gather more information about this demon."

"As for Zhao Nange, I plan to arrange for her to capture other people who may have come back to life, to see just how serious the problem is in Japan."

the other side.

Han Daoren of Changsheng Temple escaped death, at least for him, even though no battle broke out from beginning to end.

However, he survived Li Jun's attack once again.

Helicopters, vehicles, and people from all walks of life rushed toward the cave in the distance, but he didn't even bother to go up and take a look. He led the others and started to flee.

Others asked.

"what happened?"

"What just happened? What exactly is going on?"

"Who's winning?"

"Which Li Jun won?"

"Who knows? Aren't they all Li Jun?"

Han Daoren turned around and roared, saying...

"Who cares who wins? As long as we survived, that's enough."

At that moment, a phone call suddenly came to him.

Upon looking at it, he saw it was the abbot.

He hesitated for a moment before answering the phone, just saying that he had something to report.

As Zhang You said on the phone.

"Don't say anything, I saw it all."

Before Han Daoren could say anything more, Zhang You spoke again.

"Now, go down into that cave and take a look."

Then he hung up the phone.

Han Daoren stared at the phone, almost cursing. Although the abbot had changed, sometimes it seemed like the situation was no different.

No matter who sits in that position or what they say, they treat their subordinates like cattle and horses.

At this moment, Han Daoren felt that he was no ordinary ox or horse.

He was like a bull or horse with a grease-covered reed tied to its tail, running towards the enemy to self-destruct, and all he could do was whine and groan to show his enthusiasm.

When Han Daoren turned around, he saw that everyone else was looking at him.

He said, "What are you looking at? Get ready to go down!"

The others said, "Didn't we say we just came to take a look? Do we even think we'll come back alive?"

Someone else said, "What are we supposed to do down there? Find Li Jun, or find that monster? If we run into Li Jun, he'll just wipe us all out with a few swift sword strikes. If we run into that monster, it'll be even worse—a fate worse than death!"

Master Han: "The phone is here. Why don't you call back and talk to the abbot?"

He said, "Why are you all so afraid of dying?"

The others looked at Han Daoren and remembered how he had acted in front of Li Jun before.

Here.

Han Daoren got lost as soon as he entered the cave.

The cave is winding and twisting, with one entrance leading to countless branching paths, which are interconnected like a maze.

Walking here evokes a strange sense of dread, because this cave doesn't feel like a cave at all. The surrounding rocks don't have the texture of rocks at all; instead, they have a fleshy, bloody color, which is quite eerie.

the other side.

Zheng Shiliang has recently experienced a lot and undergone rigorous training. He is no longer as hesitant and fearful as before, and is now able to cope with and face many things.

However, as he continued downwards, he encountered the same problem as Han Daoren: the place was like a maze, and he had no idea where to end it.

However, as they continued down the path, the two groups of lost people bumped into each other.

Zheng Shiliang: "It's you?" Han Daoren: "You madman, how unlucky am I to have run into you again."

Zheng Shiliang: "You call me crazy? You're crazy."

Han Daoren: "You're going to fight me to the death just because a few people who have nothing to do with you died? If you're not crazy, then who is?"

Han Daoren and Zheng Shiliang.

The moment the two met, both old and new grudges surged up, and they instantly engaged in a fierce fight underground.
-
underground.

Li Jun followed the shadow of the ghost, traversing the winding underground cavern.

He watched as the other party was surrounded by a large number of figures, who were the resurrected and superhuman individuals from before.

They surged through the cave into the depths of the earth like a sea of ​​flesh.

At this moment, Li Jun was thinking about the other person's eyes.

"That wasn't a fake eye made to resemble my eyes."

“That is a real eye, the Emperor's Blood Double Pupil.”

"It must be able to control something."

Li Jun thought that if he could get that eye, or learn more secrets behind it, he would be able to.

That might unlock the secret behind it.

It can also solve the problem of this demon god emerging into the mortal world.

As Li Jun continued his pursuit, the situation around him became increasingly bizarre.

The further down you go.

Everything he saw seemed to have come to life; the stones seemed to writhe like flesh and blood, and the underground plants seemed to carry some kind of liquid like blood vessels.

At some of the connecting passages, he even encountered monsters and demons from the underground that attacked him.

Emerging one after another, in an endless stream.

And despite the danger of death preventing him from going deeper into the area.

After venturing deep underground for an unknown distance, the creature, carrying a sea of ​​flesh, finally slowed down and came to a stop, as if it had reached its destination.

Li Jun also emerged from the passage, and an underground space appeared before him.

This underground space is very vast.

However, when he looked behind him, he realized that this was probably not the end, because there were even larger and wider passages behind and to the left and right of this space.

The passageways emitted a distorted, watery glow, and their destinations were unknown.

"Ok?"

Li Jun lowered his head and finally saw something special underground.

Right beneath his feet lay a kingdom of mountains and seas.

It stands atop a pool of lava, surrounded by a yellow river; this land of mountains and seas clearly bears traces of the power of the underworld.

There were many ghostly figures moving inside. The architecture in the Mountain and Sea Kingdom resembled the ancient architecture of the Eastern Kingdom, but there were also some differences.

There are boats and gates to the underworld on the river. Countless ghosts from the Land of the Rising Sun pass through these gates on boats, becoming nourishment for this "Land of the Underworld" mountain and sea.

However, Li Jun saw it at a glance.

"This is false."

Some people here imitated the power of the Yellow Springs and even built a mountain and sea kingdom that embodied the power of the Yellow Springs.

At the same time, Li Jun also figured out some things.

Why is this strange situation occurring in Japan, where a large number of ghosts are born and linger in this haunted place, refusing to leave? Moreover, the way they resurrect the dead is clearly not quite right.

The other party resurrected the Yin spirit with their own soul, which can be seen as plundering the power of the Yellow Springs to some extent, but the Yellow Springs did not react at all.

Only then did Li Jun understand.

"It turns out that a long time ago, the other party simulated the power of the Yellow Springs here to create a country of mountains and seas, and used it to influence and control the country of sunrise."

As Li Jun continued walking down, he witnessed an even more astonishing scene.

He actually saw vast stretches of mountains and seas.

"The land of mountains and seas of the Yellow Springs, the land of mountains and seas of Peach Mountain."

"The Mountain and Sea Kingdom of Yujiang, the Mountain and Sea Kingdom of the Enlightened Beast..."

One after another, mountain and sea kingdoms converge in this space, as if all the extraordinary powers that have appeared in the present world can be found here.

Li Jun followed the trail and went further inside.

At the end.

Li Jun saw a hill.

A palace stood atop a bare hill, and the sea of ​​flesh stopped at that palace.

In front of the palace.

Li Jun saw the huge winged female ghost floating on the hill. Her wings began to close together, her legs curled up, and her hands hugged her abdomen, forming a wrapping shape.

The surrounding mountain and sea kingdoms were connected to her, and streams of blood energy surged into the sky, transforming into something similar to an umbilical cord.

It has finally recovered some of its strength.

At that moment, Li Jun saw that the other person had reopened their eyes.

The other person stretched out their hands and opened their arms towards Li Jun.

"Chirp!"

It let out another sharp cry, as if extending an invitation to him.

I want to pull him into my arms.

Or rather, she wanted him to enter her womb.

Li Jun understood, and finally realized what this ghost or deity was.

He stopped and refused.

But the ghost refused to give up despite the rejection and let out another shrill cry.

"Chirp!"

Seeing that Li Jun refused her invitation, the ghost's belly slowly swelled up, and then a materialized version of herself was conceived.

Finally, a woman appeared inside the illusory belly of the ghost, and was then slowly born.

It transformed from an illusory existence into a physical entity, just like the physical entity that appeared outside before.

The other party transformed into Li Jun's appearance and searched for all of Li Jun's belongings.

And the purpose.

The intention was to create, to generate, or perhaps to give birth to a completely new Li Jun.

Li Jun watched as the materialized woman appeared, then looked at the ghost, and finally uttered its name.

"Gu Huo Niao!"

It is also said that the women who roam at night are rumored to be related to the Heavenly Emperor.

It flies at night and hides during the day, like a ghost or god.

Li Jun looked at the surrounding mountain and sea kingdoms.

Initially, the other party must have devoured superhumans with corresponding powers, thereby creating a large number of their incarnations, which eventually even formed this Mountain and Sea Kingdom.

The other party's power is that by obtaining a part of a person, they can recreate that person. The recreated person can even be exactly the same as the original, but no matter how similar they are, they are still a part of this ghost or god.

It's unknown how this ghost or deity came to be, who from ancient times transformed into it, and what kind of story it has.

But compared to it.

Li Jun had already sensed the existence and source of power behind this ghost, that more ancient and terrifying shadow.

"Nuwa's Intestines!"

Li Jun wanted to take another step forward, to get closer to the ghostly Guhuoniao and its manifested form.

But as he stepped forward, that feeling of rejection returned.

Danger.

Extremely dangerous.

The bluebird's instincts reminded him that if he took another step forward, the bluebird might foresee the scene of his impending doom.

This place is different from outside. The overwhelming monsters that had just attacked him proved that this place rejects all outsiders.

The woman was finally fully conceived and born.

She walked out naked, her entire body covered in feathers. Although her hands and feet had five fingers, they still had the unusual characteristics of bird claws, giving her an eerie and alluring appearance.

But then.

She gradually shed her wings, transforming them into a garment, and in an instant, she became almost indistinguishable from a human.

Having transformed into a fully human form, she raised her head, revealing a double pupil in only one eye.

As soon as her eyes appeared, countless figures below stood up, including a large number of superhumans and various ghosts who emerged in layers, surrounding her like servants.

She stood before the palace, receiving the worship of all the demons and monsters.

And this time.

The entire underground began to tremble, as if the will of something had awakened and was now resting on the woman.

Li Jun glanced at the other person, looking at the double pupil that was completely different from his own.

Finally, it departed amidst the tremors of the earth and the roars of countless demons and monsters.
