Despite the pressure, the monk clasped his hands together, and suddenly a golden light rose around him, emanating a tremendous aura.

The next moment, a colossal Vajra appeared. It was thousands of feet tall, with six arms growing from its back, its eyes wide open in fury, and its pupils were like cast bronze, radiating a metallic luster.

"roar..."

With a roar, Vajra unleashed a giant palm that struck the six Yama Decrees. The power emanating from that golden palm was awe-inspiring.

The six Yama Decrees were shattered halfway through their journey, turning into starlight that fell to the ground.

The six palace masters turned pale and coughed up a mouthful of blood, their eyes filled with horror.

"How is this possible?" The six palace masters were stunned.

This was the first time they had encountered someone capable of destroying the Yama's Decree.

"This monk is a bit strange, everyone be careful!"

King Yama's expression also became extremely solemn. He had not expected that the monk could break their Yama's Decree so easily.

The next moment, the giant Vajra roared and swung its arm behind its back, pulling one of the temple masters towards it out of thin air with a huge attraction.

Before the other temple masters could react, they too were drawn to the scene.

The Sixth Palace Master was grabbed by the giant Vajra, then roared and was slammed heavily to the ground.

"Pfft!"

All six palace masters coughed up a mouthful of blood essence, and they all lay on the ground, pale-faced, coughing up blood continuously.

Several palace masters were found to have suffered severe internal injuries, their bodies swaying precariously, and they were in danger of dying at any moment.

Just then, a phantom appeared in mid-air.

The Sixth Palace Master and Meng Po were both startled and knelt on the ground, saying, "Greetings, Empress Houtu!"

The phantom did not speak, but simply pointed a finger at the giant Vajra, and the giant Vajra trembled instantly, transforming back into the appearance of a great monk.

But the monk's face was contorted, as if he were enduring great pain.

Then, the phantom beckoned with its finger, and the monk let out a shrill cry. The next moment, golden light shone everywhere, and he actually transformed into a golden cicada, falling into the phantom's hand.

"The first golden cicada in the world, no wonder it possesses such power in the Realm of Gazing at the Heavens. It's a pity it entered the Western Realm," the illusory figure said indifferently.

"Phew~"

The six palace masters breathed a sigh of relief, but their eyes still flickered with panic.

"You seven, get up," the illusory figure said calmly.

"Thank you, Empress Houtu." The six palace masters respectfully rose.

Just as Lu Li was watching the excitement, he was suddenly locked onto by the illusory figure, and Lu Li instantly became furious.

"You brat, how long are you going to keep watching this show?"

Lu Li touched his nose sullenly and then took to the air.

"Greetings, Empress Houtu!"

When Lu Li appeared, the Sixth Palace Master and Meng Po and the others were all shocked!

Good heavens, there's still a living soul left!

This living soul showed no fluctuations in qi, nor could its cultivation level be discerned, yet it gave them a sense of unfathomable depth. Its aura was comparable to that of the Goddess Houtu.

"You all do your jobs and let him come to the underworld to see me," said the Goddess Houtu calmly.

"yes!"

The six Yama Kings bowed respectfully, then turned and walked toward the six palaces.

Meng Po quickly bowed and came to Lu Li, saying, "Come with me."

Meng Po led Lu Li into a palace, which was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

"This is the second hall, and the hall master is King Chujiang," Meng Po introduced.

Lu Li followed Meng Po into a room where a man with white hair and a youthful face was sitting.

"Greetings, King Chujiang!" Meng Po bowed slightly.

"Um."

King Chujiang glanced at Lu Li, nodded, and said, "Take him inside."

"yes!"

Meng Po nodded and led Lu Li inside.

Lu Li was also observing King Chujiang. This guy was actually a powerful expert at the Sky-Gazing Realm!

The Second Palace Master has already reached the Heavenly Realm. What realm will the First Palace Master, King Qin Guang, be at?

It seems the underworld is no ordinary place. Even without the intervention of the Earth Goddess, there are still people in the underworld capable of dealing with the great monk.

Moreover, there is an even more powerful being in the underworld: Ksitigarbha!

This is the most terrifying one; apart from Houtu Niangniang, he is the true big boss of the underworld.

Meng Po led Lu Li into the main hall, and then walked out.

In the center of the main hall, on the throne, Houtu Niangniang, dressed in animal-patterned clothing, was examining the golden cicada in her hand.

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought." Meng Po knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.

Houtu Niangniang raised her head, glanced at Lu Li, and said, "Hmm, step back."

"promise."

Meng Po bowed and withdrew, then stood guard outside the main hall.

"Junior Lu Li greets the Goddess Houtu!" Lu Li said, bowing with his hands clasped.

"Alright, no need for all this formalities. Take a look at this cicada."

Then, Houtu Niangniang waved her hand, and the golden cicada landed directly in front of Lu Li.

Lu Li reached out his hand, and the golden cicada landed directly in his hand, but the next second, Lu Li froze.

"How...how can it possess a trace of human power?"

Lu Li had always believed that the nine powers of humanity were all there was.

But I never expected there would be another one!

"Didn't Nuwa tell you?" Houtu asked in confusion.

Lu Li shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"The power of humanity is divided into twelve paths."

"Back then, when she refined stones to mend the sky, she used one of them, which turned into five-colored stones. She used another one when she created the human race. I don't know where the last one went."
