On the Dragon-Slaying Platform, I was executed and became Yang Jian's brother-in-law.

In the scene, the tremors of the Netherworld gradually subsided, but the chilling pressure did not dissipate. Instead, it became more condensed and profound with the movements of Lady Pingxin.

With a light tap of her fingertip, a wisp of dark and profound light slowly entered Su Bai's brow.

That is not only the power of Yinglong, but also the supreme authority of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!

"Su Bai, remember this well." Empress Pingxin's voice became ethereal and otherworldly, as if it resounded directly into the depths of Su Bai's soul. "I have given you the secret method to invoke the Six Paths of Reincarnation and granted you a portion of the authority of the Six Paths, not to allow you to act recklessly."

"This method is called 'Six Realms Resonance'."

"Using your own soul as a catalyst, ignite the fire of your heart, forcibly connecting with the residual marks and power of your past life deep within the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In this underworld, and even within the Three Realms, as long as the Six Paths exist, you can briefly unleash a terrifying power sufficient to contend with a Quasi-Saint!"

In the real world, all the immortals and gods who were watching the simulation gasped in shock upon hearing this.

To contend with a Quasi-Saint?!

It's important to understand that there's an insurmountable chasm between a Great Luo Golden Immortal and a Quasi-Saint. Su Bai is currently only at the Great Luo level. If he can cross this gap, then in the upcoming Journey to the West tribulation, he will truly be qualified to be a player, not just a pawn!

However, Empress Pingxin's tone suddenly changed, becoming extremely serious and even carrying a hint of warning.

"However, this method goes against the will of Heaven, and the price will be extremely high!"

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation are formed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu and my physical body, containing the most fundamental and complex karma of all living beings in the world. Your strength is still shallow, not yet reaching the Quasi-Saint level, and your divine soul is not yet perfect, so you cannot truly control this primordial power."

"Each time you use it, the immense will of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will wash over your soul and erode your mind!"

"If you become overly reliant on this method and addicted to this borrowed power, your soul in this life will be completely overwhelmed by the imprints of your past life, merging with them and plunging you into chaos and madness! Even worse..."

Empress Pingxin gave Su Bai a deep look, her gaze tinged with coldness: "You will completely lose yourself, be assimilated by the Six Paths, and become a puppet in this cycle of reincarnation, knowing only how to kill and devour, never to be reborn!"

"unless--"

"Unless you can one day sever the three corpses, attain the quasi-saint status, and completely integrate your past and present lives into one, you can truly become the master of the six realms of reincarnation, as at will as your own arm, without any hidden dangers."

Su Bai closed his eyes, sensing the pulsating light between his brows. After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, a defiant smile curving his lips.

"A puppet?"

"I, Su Bai, have died once and transmigrated once; this life is a gift! If I don't even dare to take this little risk, how can I talk about defying fate, how can I talk about fighting for that holy position in the West?!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this magic!"

Before he finished speaking, Su Bai flashed and appeared directly in the center of the long-empty main hall of the Fengdu Emperor.

"Now that we've obtained this power, how can we not test its worth?"

Su Bai let out a low shout, his hands forming a strange and obscure hand seal. In an instant, the aura around him changed. The demonic energy that originally belonged to the dragon vanished, replaced by an ancient, weathered, and terrifying fluctuation filled with hunger and greed.

"Hungry Ghost Realm, open!"

boom--!

With Su Bai's command, the void of the Fengdu Palace suddenly tore open, and a huge black vortex appeared behind him.

From the depths of that whirlpool came the mournful howls of countless hungry ghosts!

That was the most primal desire for food, flesh and blood, and life! The sound was sharp and piercing, enough to shatter the Dao heart of an ordinary immortal in an instant.

Countless withered, pale arms stretched out from the vortex, seemingly trying to drag Su Bai into the endless abyss of hunger. However, a flash of mysterious light appeared between Su Bai's brows, and the Six Paths Authority was activated. The arms instantly submitted, transforming into streams of pure and sinister Hungry Ghost Path power that wrapped around his arms.

At this moment, Su Bai seemed to have transformed into the monarch of the Hungry Ghost Path, able to devour heaven and earth with every move he made!

This force was so powerful that it shook the entire city of Fengdu, causing the Yin energy to surge into the sky and even alarming certain beings deep within the Netherworld.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Fengdu Palace?!"

"This aura... could it be that someone is trying to forcibly open the Six Paths?!"

Accompanied by a series of angry and shocked shouts, ten figures dressed in royal robes and exuding a ghostly aura instantly descended outside the Fengdu Palace.

These are the Ten Kings of Hell who oversee the daily affairs of the underworld!

King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, King Song Di, King Wu Guan, King Yama, King Bian Cheng, King Tai Shan, King Du Shi, King Ping Deng, King Zhuan Lun!

The ten powerful figures in the underworld gathered together, initially looking aggressive and ready to punish this audacious madman.

But when they saw the situation inside the main hall, they all seemed like ducks with their necks being choked, and their voices stopped abruptly.

In the center of the hall, Su Bai was enveloped in terrifying black energy from the Hungry Ghost Path, while Lady Pingxin, the true supreme ruler of the Underworld, stood quietly to the side with her hands behind her back.

"Greetings...Greetings to Empress Pingxin!"

The Ten Kings of Hell's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling.

They never expected that Consort Pingxin, who had been asleep for countless years, would actually awaken! And she brought with her Su Bai, who was about to turn the Three Realms upside down!

"Get up, everyone."

Empress Pingxin glanced at them indifferently, her tone calm and unwavering, "I have summoned you here today for only one matter."

She pointed at Su Bai, who was concealing his aura, and said in a deep voice, "From this day forward, Su Bai is my representative, wielding the authority of the Six Paths. His orders are my orders. You must do your utmost to assist him in his actions, and there must be no mistakes."

"What?!"

These words caused a great uproar in the hearts of the Ten Kings of Hell. Although they still respectfully agreed on the surface, their lowered eyelids revealed different expressions and their thoughts were racing.

The deductions of Laozi were truly miraculous. Not only did they recreate the scene, but they also subtly revealed the inner thoughts of the Ten Kings of Hell to all the immortals of the Three Realms, like a voice-over.

King Qin Guang, who was ranked first, had a darting gaze and was covered in cold sweat.

He inwardly groaned, "Why has this wicked star come? And why do we have to obey him? Although the Underworld is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, in reality, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the West is the true supreme ruler! In my First Hall, there are still many Buddhist ritual implements enshrined... If I listen to Su Bai and go against Buddhism, how could Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spare me?"

Clearly, this is a typical fence-sitter, who has even secretly sided with Buddhism.

The infamous King Yama, though his face was solemn, had a barely perceptible hint of malice and dissatisfaction in the depths of his eyes.

"Your Majesty...how much better it would be if you remained asleep," Yama thought coldly. "In your absence, we ten brothers, though caught between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism, were still powerful figures in the Underworld, our word was law. Now that you've awakened, not only do you want to lord it over us, but you've also brought this brat here to obey us? By what right?"

For some "feudal lords" who are accustomed to power, the return of their ancestors is not something to celebrate, but rather signifies the revocation of power.

There were even a few Yama Kings whose gazes darted between Su Bai and Lady Pingxin, plotting how to tip off the Heavenly Court or the West, hoping to hedge their bets and protect themselves.

Only a few people, including Emperor Song and King Zhuanlun, looked at Lady Pingxin with fervor and loyalty, appearing extremely excited and seemingly genuinely hoping that the Underworld could regain its former glory.

The atmosphere inside the main hall suddenly became extremely strange.

Su Bai slowly withdrew the supernatural powers of the Hungry Ghost Path, his gaze like lightning sweeping over the group of Yama Kings, each with their own thoughts, a playful sneer curling at the corner of his lips.

He possesses the authority of the Six Realms and is most sensitive to the human hearts and evil spirits within the underworld.

These ten Kings of Hell kneel before those who are indifferent to power, but few are truly convinced of their authority.

"It seems the underworld is even more murky than I imagined," Su Bai thought to himself.

Empress Pingxin seemed to have sensed something, but she didn't point it out. She just gave the assembled Yama Kings a deep look and waved her hand, saying, "Step back and await orders."

"yes!"

The ten kings of hell, feeling as if they had been granted a general amnesty, all took their leave.

Watching them depart, the celestial beings in the real world were also discussing among themselves.

"Tsk tsk, so this is the current state of the underworld? Looks like it's a sieve after all."

"The look in King Qin Guang's eyes clearly showed his fear of offending Buddhism. King Yama also looked extremely unwilling."

"Although Consort Pingxin is powerful, the people under her command have long since lost their morale."

The scene freezes on the meaningful glances exchanged between the Ten Kings of Hell after they left the main hall.

Storm is coming.

This underworld is no longer a monolithic entity; the Ten Kings of Hell each harbor their own ulterior motives!
