Chapter 281 The Earth God of the Netherworld

Specks of bright red light bloom in the River of Oblivion, and eerie spider lilies bloom in the River of Oblivion. The deep and winding Road to the Underworld appears in the center of the River of Oblivion.

The winding, twisting path of the Yellow Springs covered the pale, vertical pupils of the deep, dark hole, and the alien energy from another eternal world was completely crushed by this inconspicuous, dim path.

The River of Oblivion, the Flower of the Other Shore, and the Road to the Underworld are the three great supernatural powers that Huang Quan himself possesses. In addition to these great supernatural powers, there are also the Bridge of Helplessness and the Flower of the Other Shore. When these five supernatural powers are combined, they form the Luo Tian supernatural power "Boundless" of Huang Quan's Dao Fruit avatar.

The three supernatural powers of the Yellow Springs Road, the Other Shore Flower, and the River of Oblivion intertwined, subtly suppressing this deep, dark hole.

The River of Oblivion surges and roars, swallowing all strange and spiritual beings; the flowers and leaves of the other shore never meet, separated by life and death, connecting the two realms of life and death; the Road to the Underworld is dark and gloomy, connecting the netherworld.

These three supernatural powers are extremely powerful. They are three supernatural powers that Huang Quan comprehended while comprehending the Great Dao of the Underworld. They represent a part of the essence of the Underworld and can draw upon a portion of the great power of the Underworld.

The essence of the deep black hole was weaker than Huang Quan had imagined. It was enough that a portion of the essence of the Netherworld that was drawn in was able to suppress the deep black hole. This was enough to show that the otherworld behind the deep black hole was far inferior to the primordial world.

The power of the Yellow Springs Road, the River of Oblivion, and the Flower of the Other Shore erupted once more. The Yellow Springs wanted to seal the deep black hole directly to prevent it from affecting the already chaotic world of the Emperor's True Realm.

However, as if sensing the terrifying pressure from the outside world, the surging death energy and turbid energy in the deep black hole suddenly burst forth, and flames intertwined with black and white burned fiercely in the center of the black hole. A sharp, hoarse roar, as if incorporating the howls of a hundred ghosts, rang out.

A ferocious giant shadow with sharp angles, three eyes, a tiger's head, a human body, and a lower body like an ox, wrapped in iron chains, burst forth from the constantly surging and boiling black hole. Its extremely powerful death energy and turbid energy tore the surging River of Oblivion in front of it in two.

Countless iron chains flew about, and a monster with a tiger's head and a human body roared, its three dark red eyes fixed on Huang Quan.

A pair of sharp claws wielded iron chains, tearing apart the deathly and yin energy that kept sweeping towards him. The iron chains rattled, and the aura, no weaker than that of the Primordial True Saint, made Huang Quan's expression freeze, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"The Netherworld... Earth Lord..."

Huang Quan's mind merged with the deep black hole, and he vaguely sensed that the name of the otherworld behind the deep black hole had appeared before him. The name of the ferocious monster was the name of the world behind the deep black hole.

Strictly speaking, this great world is also part of the primordial world. It is an eternal world evolved from the primordial heavenly Dao's fusion of chaotic essence. However, this eternal world is still in the process of being conceived and has not yet reached the time of its birth.

The Netherworld that the Emperor True Realm previously conquered was a vast world evolved from a primordial source of the Netherworld Great Heaven and Earth. The Emperor True Realm devoured the Netherworld, thus also possessing the primordial energy of the Netherworld Great Heaven and Earth, resulting in a connection between the Emperor True Realm and the Netherworld Great Heaven and Earth, which evolved into this deep black hole.

Tu Bo is the name of this tiger-headed monster. In the Netherworld, Tu Bo was the first innate being to evolve. However, the Tu Bo that appeared before Huang Quan was the ancestor of Tu Bo, which evolved from the origin of the Netherworld.

With the blessing of the origin of the Netherworld, this Earth Lord's cultivation and combat power are comparable to the Primordial True Saint of the Great Wilderness.

The reason why the Netherworld evolved this Earth Lord was to prevent Huang Quan from entering the Netherworld. It's not that the Netherworld doesn't allow Huang Quan to enter; the Netherworld welcomes top-level experts like Huang Quan who specialize in the Ghost Path.

The evolution of the world is relatively slow when relying on the power of the Netherworld itself. However, every top-level powerhouse in the Primordial World has received abundant divine favor. As long as more of these top-level powerhouses are absorbed into the Netherworld, the evolution process of the Netherworld will become faster and faster.

The Netherworld welcomes top-tier experts to enter, but the time is not now. The Netherworld has not yet fully evolved and reached its current state. The entry of Huang Quan, a top-tier expert, would inevitably cause deviations in the original evolutionary process of the Netherworld. Therefore, the Netherworld has created this Earth Lord to stop Huang Quan.

Looking at the Earth God, Huang Quan had a general idea of ​​why it had appeared. Facing the Earth God, who was comparable to the Primordial True Saint, Huang Quan showed no fear. The more the Netherworld prevented him from entering, the more determined Huang Quan was to enter.

An eternal world based on the Ghost Path and the Soul Path. If Huang Quan could enter it, with his cultivation and realm far surpassing all the native cultivators of the Netherworld, he would be able to become the strongest being in the Netherworld.

An eternal world that perfectly matches Huang Quan's own foundation and great path is extremely rare. If Huang Quan can seize this opportunity, he can definitely ascend to the heavens in one step and become a top-level Primordial True Saint. His own cultivation may even surpass that of You Quan and Taiwei.

The Gate of Hell opened slightly, and the deathly aura of the underworld, like thousands of black dragons, blocked all the iron chains leading to the Yellow Springs. A roar came, and Tu Bo tore apart the void where the Yellow Springs were located with his tiger claws, cutting out several ravines from the surging sea of ​​clouds.

Huang Quan's figure appeared strangely behind Tu Bo. Countless ghosts and vengeful spirits struggled and roared in the shadows hanging behind him. Tu Bo's tiger claws tore continuously, and iron chains swept around like venomous snakes.

The overwhelming Yin energy and death energy, like a vortex, absorbed all the vital energy, spiritual energy, earth, rocks, and mountains around Tu Bo, tearing them into fragments. Death energy fire burned, the sea of ​​clouds boiled and evaporated, and the earth and mountains continued to collapse. The entire Di Zhen Realm was teetering on the brink of collapse under Tu Bo's attack.

However, no matter how Tu Bo attacked, Huang Quan was able to evade all of Tu Bo's attacks in the gaps. Whether it was the tearing claws, the piercing iron chains, or even the soul-shattering roar from Tu Bo's tiger mouth, none of them could harm Huang Quan in the slightest.

Compared to Tu Bo, Huang Quan is like a real ghost, formless and intangible, difficult to touch and even incomprehensible. Huang Quan seems to be able to foresee all of Tu Bo's actions, and even the inner power and essence of all of Tu Bo's supernatural abilities. This makes it impossible for Tu Bo's own powerful combat strength to do anything to Huang Quan.

The Ghost of the Human Heart is one of Huang Quan's innate supernatural abilities as a Heavenly Ghost. The foundation of Huang Quan's Dao Fruit avatar is not simple. As early as when Taiwei had just undergone tribulation, he had already begun to collect some rare ghost races from the primordial world. Huang Quan's true body is the King of Ghosts, who has fused the characteristics of countless ghost races, that is, a Heavenly Ghost.

The Ghost of the Human Heart is one of the countless ghosts within Huang Quan's own body. The Ghost of the Human Heart is a ghost formed by the fusion of a living being's desires, memories, and cognition. Its essence is extremely special. The Ghost of the Human Heart does not have any particularly powerful physical attacks, and may not even be able to defeat ordinary divine beasts of heaven and earth in the same realm.

However, the ghosts of the human heart can alter the perception of heaven and earth among all living beings, and can also obtain the memories and past of others. Tu Bo's origin is very powerful, after all, this monster was born from the world origin of the Netherworld. However, Tu Bo, who lacks intelligence and a firm will, has no way to avoid the strange ability of the ghosts of the human heart.

Huang Quan had a complete grasp of Tu Bo's supernatural powers, his past, and his control and operation of his own supernatural powers at the moment of the battle. In other words, Tu Bo had no secrets from Huang Quan. Under these circumstances, Huang Quan was able to easily avoid all of Tu Bo's attacks.

If it were a normal Primordial True Saint, all the strange abilities of the Human Heart Ghost would be completely ineffective. However, Tu Bo is not a normal Primordial True Saint; he is merely a beast with the combat power of a Primordial True Saint. Even if there were ten thousand of such beings, they would not be worth Huang Quan's attention.

As the even more surging death energy from the Ghost Gate pressed down, Tu Bo let out a roar, his ferocious body being forcibly reduced by three thousand feet.

Countless iron chains rattled as they coiled towards the Gate of Hell, but were blocked by the numerous reliefs on the Gate of Hell that had transformed into real ghosts. The three great supernatural powers of the River of Oblivion, the Flower of the Other Shore, and the Road to the Underworld were unleashed once more, blasting Tu Bo away.

Blood gushed forth, and Tu Bo let out a howl. The extremely violent death energy and turbid energy transformed into a death flame intertwined with black and white. Tu Bo's claws tore countless claw marks, shaking the gates of hell. The death flame intertwined with black and white burned fiercely.

The River of Oblivion, the Flower of the Other Shore, and the Road to the Underworld—three great supernatural powers—were successively burned to ashes by the flames of death, and the raging flames at this moment unleashed unprecedented power.

Neither the Ghost Gate, this supreme treasure of creation, nor the various supernatural powers evolved from the Yellow Springs, can overcome the flames of death.

Huang Quan only then realized that this so-called death fire was essentially formed from the origin of heaven and earth of the Netherworld, possessing an extremely profound and terrifying soul-scorching power.

Before the flames of death, all the supernatural powers and spiritual abilities of the ghost and soul paths were powerless to withstand even for a moment. Huang Quan's eyes showed a solemn expression at this moment, for he too could not withstand the scorching heat of the flames of death.

The supernatural powers of the Ghost of the Human Heart were activated once more, and Huang Quan's figure flickered, dodging the death flames that swept towards him.

The way the Fire of Death is formed is not particularly mysterious, but the flames evolved from the eternal origin of heaven and earth have the power to burn any living being to ashes. Even the Yellow Springs dare not touch such a primordial fire of heaven and earth.

As Huang Quan watched the death fire transform into thousands of fire dragons, he drew a line with his five fingers in front of him, and the winding Yellow Springs Road appeared. On both sides of the Yellow Springs Road, the red spider lilies bloomed like stars, resembling red lotus flames.

The surging River of Oblivion stirred up thousands of waves, lifting the Road to the Underworld high. A six-tiered bridge, adorned with green bells and white banners, appeared over the River of Oblivion.
