I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

However, Qiongqi scoffed at this, and its cold laughter echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"Submit? You dare to challenge me?"

Its voice was filled with arrogant disdain as it looked down at the tiny figures below.

"Fengdu is a sacred place in the underworld. You Rakshasa people are so wicked, do you even deserve to set foot in that pure land?"

In Qiongqi's eyes, the only way to deal with this group of unruly people is to exterminate them!

It said no more, its enormous body crashing down with immense force, its gaping maw expanding once more, transforming into a black hole that devoured heaven and earth.

Within the black hole, the terrifying suction force was overwhelming and unstoppable, frantically pulling in the yin energy of heaven and earth, forming a gray storm that blotted out the sky.

Countless Rakshasa demons were swept up by the storm and crushed into dust upon contact, turning into pure soul power that flowed continuously into Qiongqi's mouth!

Qiongqi's eyes flashed with ferocity, its suction suddenly increased dramatically, and its world-destroying power spread out, forcibly pulling back those powerful ghosts who were trying to escape.

Only a few miscellaneous soldiers on the outermost edge of the city managed to escape by sheer luck. All those inside the heart of the capital were swallowed up by the storm and became nourishment for the Qiongqi.

Inside the main hall, only Queen Rakshasa and a few royal experts remained, struggling to hold on.

"Qiongqi! Do you really intend to exterminate them all?"

The Rakshasa Queen roared, and a terrifying ghostly figure a hundred meters tall appeared behind her, with overwhelming demonic energy sweeping in all directions.

Qiongqi ignored it, focusing only on its frenzied devouring.

The entire majestic capital city was uprooted and slowly moved toward that terrifying black hole.

"You forced me to do this!"

The queen, as if possessed, transformed into a streak of crimson light and resolutely charged towards the giant maw of Qiongqi.

Just as she was about to touch the black hole, her body suddenly exploded!

She wanted to use her self-destruction to buy herself a chance to severely damage Qiongqi.

However, a cruel, sinister smile curled at the corner of Qiongqi's mouth.

"Besides the master's ghostly flames, what else in this world can harm me?"

Before it could finish speaking, it opened its mouth and swallowed the earth-shattering self-destruction shockwave whole!

Its expression changed only a few times before it completely absorbed this terrifying power.

Then, it swallowed the entire capital of the Rakshasa kingdom whole.

Qiongqi let out a burp, its enormous body instantly shrinking to the size of a green ox, and then turned and left leisurely.

It was nothing more than swallowing up a city; it was nothing new to it, and it had no time to appreciate the devastation.

But just because it's not interested doesn't mean others aren't.

A quarter of an hour later, a dark figure quietly appeared; it was none other than the Dark Abyss Demon King.

As he looked around, his pupils contracted sharply. He saw that where the Rakshasa capital had once been, there was now only a bottomless, enormous sinkhole.

"The power of Qiongqi is truly terrifying!"

Cold sweat poured down the back of the Dark Abyss Demon King, secretly glad that he had acted quickly, otherwise he would have already become food for Qiongqi.

The vast kingdom of Rakshasa demons was destroyed so easily.

His expression changed several times, and a hint of resentment and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

"I never imagined that the Underworld had even subdued such a ferocious beast as Qiongqi... But if you release Qiongqi, will the Ancient Nether Kingdom let this go?"

"The Rakshasa Kingdom is incompetent and cannot subdue you, but the Ancient Nether Kingdom will surely make you pay a bloody price!"

"I'll see how long you can keep up your arrogance!"

With an unwavering determination to never give up, he turned and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the ancient You Kingdom.

Zhong Jiu and Qiongqi never paid any attention to this "ant" from beginning to end.

They would never have imagined that behind today's events was such a clown.

Therefore, Qiongqi's report did not mention the Dark Abyss Demon King at all.

It never imagined that the "little ant" it had casually let go was the instigator of this whole mess.

"So you're saying you ate the entire Rakshasa King?"

Inside the Judge's Hall, Zhong Jiu was somewhat surprised after hearing the report.

Even though he was already a powerful being in charge of the underworld, the feat of swallowing a city whole was unheard of.

"Yes, sir."

Qiongqi lay lazily on the ground, flicking its tail. "However, I have some regrets."

"His injuries haven't fully healed yet, and he's already swallowed such a huge lump. It looks like he'll have to go into seclusion for a few years to digest it."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Jiu couldn't help but chuckle.

If the Queen of Rakshasa knew from beyond the grave that Qiongqi, after devouring her kingdom, was merely troubled by "indigestion," she would probably be furious enough to be driven mad.

Unfortunately, her soul and spirit have already perished!

But Qiongqi wasn't lying; it was indeed holding on a bit.

After all, he has only recently recovered from his injury, and it will take some time before he returns to his peak condition.

From then on, Qiongqi lay at the entrance of the Judge's Hall and began a long slumber.

The ghosts coming and going to be judged all looked on with curiosity when they saw a seemingly docile "blue ox" lying at the entrance.

Is this the new auspicious beast of the underworld?

They could sleep so soundly and unrestrainedly at the entrance of the Judge's Hall.

In the underworld, time stands still; cold comes and heat goes, and time slips away quietly.

The infamous reputation of the underworld spread like thunder throughout the entire land of the dead.

The two great feats of sweeping through Yinshan and Qiongqi devouring the city terrified countless ghosts, and many tribes yearning for peace and order also considered joining them.

They did not hesitate to cross mountains and rivers to come to Fengdu to surrender.

As a result, Bai Qi's Yin army expanded again, reaching a scale of nearly ten million.

The daily drills were filled with deafening battle cries. The underworld forces that were secretly observing them were all filled with fear upon seeing this spectacle, and dared not easily set foot in the territory of the underworld again.

On this day, Zhong Jiu was personally judging a demon in the Judge's Hall.

Through his overall planning, the Judge's Palace has established an efficient trial system, and there are very few serious criminals who require his personal attention anymore.

But the one we're talking about today is so heinous that his crimes are too numerous to recount.

This person was a notorious death row inmate before the supernatural resurgence, who escaped from prison by chance due to the collapse of order.

After his recovery, he became even more ruthless, committing heinous crimes that were utterly outrageous, truly embodying all vices.

For such incorrigible individuals, ordinary punishments are insufficient to appease public anger.

Zhong Jiu's gaze was icy, and he shouted, "First, cast him into the eighteenth level of hell to suffer three hundred years of purgatory. After that, he will be thrown into the realm of hungry ghosts, never to be reborn!"

Three hundred years of torment in hell is the ultimate suffering for an ordinary wandering spirit.

But true despair lies in the realm of demons, where there is no hope of ever seeing the light of day.

Once you enter this path, you will be forever reborn as a being of the underworld, never to set foot in the mortal realm. If you are unlucky, you will be devoured by other ghosts and end up with your soul scattered.

After the matter was dealt with, a ghost messenger hurriedly entered the hall and bowed to report.

"My lord, an envoy from the ancient You Kingdom requests an audience with generous gifts."

Ancient You Kingdom?

Zhong Jiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the sleeping Qiongqi outside the hall.

Qiongqi slowly opened its eyes, and a chilling glint flashed in its seemingly lazy gaze.

He did not want to see it.

The ancient You Kingdom and Qiongqi have a long-standing feud, and their sending of envoys at this moment is certainly not out of goodwill.

They're probably here to demand an explanation.

But what the underworld official said next piqued his interest.

"The rare and precious materials brought by the envoy this time are piled up like mountains; I have never seen such generosity before!"

"When he met with his subordinates, he even presented them with a very generous gift, truly sparing no expense."

"Furthermore, General Bai Qi has also sent word that he has received a generous gift from the Ancient You Kingdom!"

"All the gifts are being escorted by ghost soldiers and will arrive in Fengdu soon."

As the underworld official spoke, he presented the gifts he had received.

Is this... someone trying to bribe me?

This was the first time Zhong Jiu had encountered such a situation, and a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown appeared on his lips.

"Since they've put in such a good intention, you should accept it."

"Don't let their good intentions go to waste."

"As for the envoy, summon him to the palace. I want to see what this ancient You Kingdom is really up to."

At this time, beneath Yinshan Mountain.

The envoy from the ancient You Kingdom dared not set foot in Fengdu territory without Zhong Jiu's permission.

He was not in a hurry, and looked at Bai Qi's Yin soldiers with great interest.

"What a mighty army!"

He praised it sincerely.

The commander who could train such an elite army must be no ordinary man.

He immediately took a liking to Bai Qi, who was dressed in military uniform, and the idea of ​​poaching him from his own ranks suddenly popped into his head.

But he also saw that Bai Qi's expression was resolute and his will was as strong as iron, and that nothing could shake him.

Those lavish gifts sent earlier have probably already been delivered to Fengdu by his men.

The envoy had anticipated this, but he paid no attention to it and instead admired it even more.

The more Bai Qi acted this way, the more he longed to bring him under his command.

What kind of power is the underworld that can make such a brilliant strategist so devoted to him?

He had heard countless legends about the underworld, but seeing is believing, and today he was determined to witness it for himself.

Just then, a ghost messenger finally rode in on horseback.

"By order of the Judge, the envoy of the Ancient You Kingdom shall be summoned to the palace."

Bai Qi nodded silently, turned around with his hand on his sword, and retreated back into the formation.

The ghostly soldiers on both sides retreated in unison, making way for a wide road leading straight to Fengdu.

"Set off!"

With a wave of his hand, the long procession behind him slowly crossed the Yin Mountains and headed towards the legendary holy city.

Before he came, he had already heard about the magnificence of Fengdu.

But seeing it with his own eyes now, he realized how inadequate words were.

"The underworld... actually has such a magnificent city?"

No, this is no longer a city.

It is not a vast and ever-changing immortal nation!
