The Nine Netherworld, also known as the Underworld, is arguably the most mysterious place in the world.

Legend has it that this place was created by the Heavenly Emperor and some mysterious being. It contains the six realms of reincarnation, and endless mysteries such as life, death, yin and yang.

This is the world after the death of all living beings in countless worlds and realms.

Although it is a realm, its mystery is arguably even greater than that of the celestial realm where the immortals reside.

Its core principle of Yin-Yang reincarnation is even more profound than the great principles of time and space.

Only a very small number of people can travel from the mortal realm to the underworld solely through their own abilities; they also need a profound understanding of the principles of Yin and Yang.

Li Ming's understanding of the Dao of Yin and Yang Reincarnation is now among the best in all realms, not to mention that he possesses the Reincarnation Seal.

Entering the underworld is as simple as returning to your hometown.

"The underworld doesn't seem to have suffered much damage."

Li Ming observed the surrounding environment.

A deathly aura pervaded the air, a desolate scene.

However, compared to the shattered Heaven, the Underworld is still relatively intact, vast and boundless, like entering a pure black universe where death is the defining characteristic, and the black land is endless.

Li Ming and the Primordial Heavenly King traveled through endless black calamities, heading towards the land of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

On the road, you can see many ghosts and the like. When you see them, you keep a great distance. No one dares to offend them. No matter what kind of ghost king or ghost emperor, even the fiercest ghost trembles under the slightest aura of them. How could you possibly offend them?

This is the power of the immortal martial arts. As their blood energy surges, all living beings tremble. If they were to release even a little bit of their energy, those powerful ghost kings would be annihilated.

During this time, powerful ghosts appeared, including some quasi-emperors. However, they were all terrified of the newcomers and dared not approach, trembling with fear.

Originally, if a living being from the mortal realm were to enter the underworld, it would be like lighting a torch in the dark, attracting a great deal of attention and quickly being surrounded and devoured by ghosts.

Because yin and yang are in harmony, if a ghost can obtain the yang energy that is extremely rare in this underworld, its strength will greatly increase.

But the two stormed straight into the underworld as if it were empty.

Before long, they arrived at the most important place in the underworld, where a magnificent palace stood before them.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, the heavens shattered and the underworld was thrown into turmoil. Endless wars broke out, and the ten Yama Kings of the underworld all lost their lives. They all wanted to control the six paths of reincarnation and, with the help of the Book of Life and Death, they could dominate everything."

The Primordial Heavenly King spoke calmly, revealing many hidden secrets.

A ripple of emotion stirred within Li Ming, and he couldn't help but nod. In a daze, he truly saw the collapse of the Heavenly Court and the chaos in the Underworld.

However, countless years have passed, and the situation is naturally different now.

In fact, even after the Primordial Heavenly King merged with the Heavenly Venerable Dao Fruit, he was only quite clear about what happened back then. Some people had joined forces to play a grand game, but he was not very clear about the specific evolution.

"This is a forbidden area for living beings. We urge you both to turn back."

A deep, steady voice came from inside the hall.

Even though the beings inside the palace had the advantage of location and many trump cards, the two powerful beings at the Immortal Realm did not want to fight against such an existence.

However, these two individuals did not seem to be on their list of powerful figures, and their appearances were unfamiliar.

Although the people in the main hall were very polite, it was impossible for me to go back.

Li Ming didn't say much, ignoring the restrictions, and pushed open the palace door.

Boom!

Amidst the surging air currents, several ghosts and gods from the underworld gathered in front.

Some of them are dressed as Yama, the King of Hell, or judges.

Clearly, they were extremely wary of Li Ming and his companion's arrival.

"Greetings, Your Majesties!"

A middle-aged man with a stern face stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

He was a master who inherited the title of King Yama Qin Guang, and was also at the Immortal level, but only at the second level of cultivation.

The other ghosts and gods also smiled and clasped their hands in greeting.

Li Ming glanced at it and saw that the strongest among them was only at the third level of the Immortal Realm, which was normal.

After all, this is no longer the underworld of ancient times. Although Yama, the King of Hell, has a high status, he is not particularly powerful either. Over the years, after many reshuffles, countless people have come and gone.

Moreover, their Yama status was not something they cultivated themselves; it was more like a gift from heaven and earth. Even though they were immortal beings, their combat strength was actually quite weak, and they were not on the same level as martial arts emperors of the same realm.

"polite!"

Li Ming smiled slightly, noticing their confusion, and said frankly:

"I have come to the underworld only to seek an opportunity."

"Opportunity?"

The many ghosts and gods who were wondering about this were shocked upon hearing this.

In the underworld where they resided, information was scarce, and they were unaware of Li Ming's divine power in the outside world. However, they could tell from observing the aura emanating from the two that they were not to be trifled with.

The Martial Emperor possessed abundant vital energy and unparalleled combat skills, making it easy for him to fight multiple ghosts and gods.

This is a lesson from history!

However, although there are many opportunities in the underworld, they are hidden very deeply, and people generally don't come to such places to look for them.

Li Ming didn't care about the other party's thoughts and said directly:

"I am going to the cycle of reincarnation."

"The Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

"ah!"

The group of ghosts and deities paled, looking at each other with obvious confusion.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the most crucial place in the Netherworld, and even in the entire universe. If an accident occurs, all realms will be thrown into turmoil.

More importantly, they are not authorized to let people in.

"Um?"

Li Ming frowned slightly and said calmly:

"What are your opinions?"

Li Ming's voice wasn't loud, but the aura he exuded was incredibly powerful, startling all the ghosts and gods.

"To be honest, we are not qualified to let you go, sir. Moreover, going to the Six Paths of Reincarnation is extremely dangerous, even though we have never been there before."

The ghosts and gods quickly said.

That's the truth. The Six Paths of Reincarnation is the most important place in the underworld, and even they are not qualified to go there.

"Danger?"

Li Ming was somewhat puzzled.

After all, while the Six Paths of Reincarnation are important, they are still Yama Kings with immortal cultivation. Although they may not be qualified to control them, they can at least go there.

"To be honest, we are just doing our jobs to keep the underworld running... Many years ago, before the cycle of reincarnation, there was a person who called himself the Underworld Emperor."

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be stuck here in such a pathetic state."

King Yama's words were astonishing, and even the assembled ghosts and gods sighed in disbelief.

Li Ming nodded, as if he had guessed something.

"It's alright, just take me there."

Surrounded by a host of ghosts and spirits, the group headed towards the cycle of reincarnation.

...

"Ahead lies the path of life and death, and beyond that path lies the realm of the six realms of reincarnation."

King Yama pointed to a vast, boundless road ahead and said.

The yin energy here is so heavy that it's beyond comprehension.

Li Ming suspected that even if a quasi-emperor came, some unexpected things might still happen.

However, it has no impact on him now.

"From now on, you can go alone."

The Primordial Heavenly King smiled.

"Um."

Li Ming nodded.

Some things he has to solve on his own.
