This battle in the underworld did not last too long.

Although the greatest danger and fighting force in Fengdu City - the countless evil spirits that were originally suppressed by the 72 chief envoys - had all been turned into dust and disappeared in the [Taishan Lord Sacrifice], the financial resources in Fengdu City were too strong.

This was the beginning of the third catastrophe era, the era of chaos between yin and yang, which lasted until eight thousand years ago.

The underworld, the ghost realm of Fengdu, has undergone several changes and has continuously accumulated family wealth.

There are a total of seventy-two top-level earthly immortals, with full combat experience and many magical powers.

Ten of them are true masters who have obtained the power of the earth god and broken through the barriers.

Plus two standard emperor realm figures.

It is already extremely standard, even stronger than the specifications of an ordinary [celestial god].

There had been an internal strife in the underworld before. Although Taisu Miaoguangwang and others took the initiative and quickly subdued Yinde Dingxiu Zhenjun and others, it was also equivalent to the loss of two Zhenjuns, plus the Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and Meng Po, five standard ghosts and gods in the earthly realm who were infinitely close to the level of Zhenjun.

Its own strength has declined, and it cannot compare with Fengdu City in terms of high-end combat power; in addition, the ghosts and gods in Fengdu City were plotted against in the past, and they are all very angry with the Ten Kings of Hell, who were once the chief officers of the Seventy-two Departments.

The appearance of Lord Taishan completely broke this situation.

Under the gaze of Lord Taishan, the Northern Ghost Emperor was full of fighting spirit and defeated several True Lords whose realms were weaker than his with ease. It was like under Yu Qing, they were all ants. The suppression of the Emperor Realm over the non-Emperor Realm was strong enough to make people despair.

Therefore, those who can, as a true lord, go against the emperor's realm can enter the North Pole Exorcism Institute and become the North Pole Saints.

After such a long time, there are only four people left among all the Saints of the North Pole, including the Zhenwu Demon.

You can see how difficult it is.

The Northern Ghost Emperor, who had three heads and six arms, launched a fierce attack, using his various magical powers to kill without regard for his life. On one side, he was assisted by the Southern Ghost Emperor, and ten True Lord-level ghosts and gods suddenly attacked him. At this stage, the Ten Kings of Hell were quickly defeated. The Northern Ghost Emperor laughed several times, and swept his strong arms across, raising layers of yellow springs.

The Yellow Spring water and the extremely pure innate Yin Qi gathered together and turned into a dark and tough rope.

The eight Yama Kings were all tied up, and their cultivation was bound, while the rest of the Yellow Springs Water, the Naihe Bridge, the Gate of Reincarnation, and the Fengdu City were not moved at all. The origin of the Fengdu City came from the Beiyin Fengdu Emperor, who was the incarnation of the Beiji Ziwei Emperor, who was always the most particular about rules.

Although Fengdu City seems to be a place of chaos ruled by the Ghost King, it should actually be considered a regular army.

Not only are they regular troops, they can almost be considered to be the personal guards of the Emperor Beiyin Fengdu.

Fengdu City took over the underworld, and all kinds of treasures were found out. The heads of the 72 departments naturally started their old business as they did in the past, and went to manage and restrain the ghosts. The other eight Yama Lords were tied up and thrown into the hall.

The eight Yama Kings looked around.

The hall was cold and empty, with an ominous feel.

In the past, they were in high positions here, judging the rest of the people, from the immortals and gods who had reached the end of their lifespans to the emperors and generals among the mortals, and even the furry and scaly beasts, all of them knelt and prostrated themselves here, surrounded by the chains, knives and forks of the underworld's ghost messengers, begging for forgiveness from King Yama.

But when they judged other creatures in the past, they never thought that one day they would be here.

They looked up.

I saw the wide and long table, the cold patterns on it, and the tall and indifferent Lord of the Mansion.

Yama and other ghost gods judge the ghosts.

And the Lord of Mount Tai can actually judge so many evil spirits?

In the past, I never had such thoughts.

[Lord of Mount Tai] held a jade slip in his hand. The jade slip contained a magical text, which was the driving force behind the decision and position of Prince Taisu Miaoguang. This letter came from the Tianshu Academy, the Great Lord of Justice. The text was cold and official, but the meaning expressed by the woman in it was very direct.

【Heaven and earth, choose one. 】

[If you choose Heaven, you can also achieve enlightenment when you pacify the rebellion on earth]

【As for choosing the human world, it is all about seeking good fortune】

"Choose Heaven... Since when did Tianshuyuan become Heaven?"

The Taoist said to himself that he almost had an instinctive urge to ask the gods in the underworld to take this letter, bypass the vast scope of the human world, rush to the Heavenly Palace, and pass this letter as evidence to the Jade Emperor and the Northern Emperor.

But this impulse was soon suppressed by reason.

Not to mention the various dangers and obstacles along the way, even if this jade slip was delivered to the Jade Emperor, there would be no way to force the judiciary to recognize it.

This, replacing the original heavenly court with its own majesty and order, and radiating its influence to the outside world, has indirectly demonstrated the way of the Great Lord of Justice and the degree of completion of its rituals.

It is already quite complete.

For most of the immortals and gods in the six realms, Tianshuyuan can almost be compared to the order of heaven.

When the ritual reaches this stage, the final step can be taken almost at any time.

It is truly, everything is ready.

Qi Wuhuo suddenly understood why the hostility of the Great Lord of Justice towards him had suddenly become so strong.

To use the simplest analogy from the human world, it would be like the Lord of Justice starting from planting wheat and rice, and after working for several years, he finally finished cooking a table full of dishes. Before he even remembered to put down his chopsticks, he went to wash his hands, only to find that the table and the dishes had been taken away along with the table.

But in the eyes of the Great Lord of Justice, this thief, this "enemy of the Tao", is Qi Wuhuo.

Therefore, he will stop Qi Wuhuo at all costs.

However, Qi Wuhuo himself had already made an agreement with the Jade Emperor to attack the judiciary, so this was not considered a wrong person.

[Lord of Mount Tai] placed the jade slip on the table, his eyes swept over the gods of the underworld, and the supplementary volume of the Heavenly Book changed into another projection. Then he flicked his finger slightly, and this blank scroll fell in front of the eight Yama Lords. From here on, it slowly unfolded, with a blank space on it and a faint golden color.

Qi Wuhuo wanted to speak and said that although the Yama Kings had made mistakes at the moment, they had maintained the order of the underworld for eight thousand years. Rewards and punishments should be clear, just like the flow of yin and yang. Please sign this list and return to the position of the head of the Seventy-two Departments in Fengdu City. Then, ten more people from the Seventy-two Departments will be selected to temporarily replace the duties of the Yama Kings in the underworld.

Qi Wuhuo paused.

This kind of speaking style is suitable for Tai Shang Xuan Wei and Qi Wu Huo, but it should not be suitable for [Lord of Mount Tai].

[Lord of Mount Tai], how should I start?

The Taoist pondered for a moment, then lowered his eyes, looked at the eight Yama Kings in front of him, and said in a calm and indifferent tone:

"sign."

There wasn't much murderous intent in his tone.

But if it is linked with the previous actions of the Lord of Mount Tai, there is an indescribable strong oppression, which is frightening. The eight Yama Kings raised their heads and saw that the Yama Palace was empty and distant, with everything in bleakness. The sleeves of the Lord of Mount Tai drooped, becoming even taller and more distant, looking down at them indifferently.

!!!

The Lord of Mount Tai, who killed the Central Ghost Emperor Zhou Qi, a great level person!

Five of them remained neutral, at least on the surface. As for the underworld, Lord Yama sighed, and seeing that there was no pen on either side, he just raised his finger, used his soul as ink and his spirit as a pen, wrote his name on it, and then he immediately felt something.

I feel like everything about me has been included in this list.

It seemed that not only their cultivation was interfered with by this list, but they could not even think of harming the person who held this list. Even their life and death were not in their own hands, but were controlled by others. After realizing this, several True Lords struggled for a moment, but in the end, facing the majesty of the Lord of Mount Tai, they could only sigh or accept their fate and signed their names.

This scroll was eventually passed into the hands of King Taisu Miaoguang.

He looked at the scroll in silence for a long time. The Yin God and Zhenjun beside him sighed and advised:

"It has come to this, life and death are in the hands of others, what can we do?"

“Lord Taishan is magnanimous and broad-minded. He will not be so narrow-minded as to argue with you and me. Moreover, if he wants to kill us, he only needs to move his fingers. He doesn’t even need to do it himself. He only needs to call out, and the Northern Ghost Emperor and the Southern Ghost Emperor will come over…”

"Sign it..."

"There's no turning back."

After being persuaded by everyone, King Taisu Miaoguang seemed to have finally given up struggling.

He slowly raised his finger, his body trembling, and fell towards the scroll, about to write down his own name like the previous seven names. But just as his finger had landed on the scroll, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in King Tai Su Miao Guang's eyes.

In an instant, the magical power flowed and was directly pressed on the scroll.

The power of the True Lord level exploded instantly, and the power displayed in this instant had even touched the level of the Emperor. The majestic Qi was shaking, and the other True Lords of Yama did not know what King Taisu Miaoguang was planning. They showed some astonishment on their faces, as they were shocked by the means displayed by King Taisu Miaoguang at this moment, and they were also puzzled.

Facing the most top-level person, Lord Taishan.

Even if King Tai Su Miao Guang relied on many back-up plans to temporarily raise his explosive power to the emperor level, what was the use?

The Lord of Mount Tai did not move.

I think he is disdainful and doesn't care, he just wants to see what King Tai Su Miao Guang can do.

A trace of humiliation flashed in King Taisu Miaoguang's eyes, and then he threw out something in his hand. It was an ancient jade pendant with mysterious patterns on it. It was a Taoist artifact. In an instant, King Taisu Miaoguang exerted a second force and shattered the jade pendant.

This is the treasure that the existence gave them after testing them.

It is a witness to the promise that "all matters in the underworld will be returned to the underworld."

A majestic ancient aura emerged from this jade pendant, and turned into a middle-aged Taoist with a cold and handsome look, but more majestic. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, with a whisk on his arm, and an indifferent expression. Tai Su Miao Guang Wang gritted his teeth, bowed his hands, reversed right and wrong, and said: "Greetings to Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun."

"There is an evil spirit now, claiming to be the Lord of Mount Tai. I don't know where he came from, or where he got his magical powers."

"They came to the netherworld and did whatever they wanted, stirring up trouble. They broke the gap between yin and yang, life and death, causing an imbalance between yin and yang, allowing thousands of ghosts to roam at night, and even released many evil spirits, intending to stir up the underworld and cause unrest in the six realms. Two of the innate ghost emperors have been subdued by them, and are now doing whatever they want here!"

"The peace of the human world and the balance of the six realms are about to be broken!"

"Please ask the Jade Purity Yuanshi Great Celestial Venerable to capture this evildoer!"

The other Yamas were dumbfounded.

King Taisu Miaoguang is gambling, gambling on this last chance!

He was unwilling to accept that after being the Lord of Hell for eight thousand years in the underworld, he could not ascend to heaven, but instead his life was controlled by others. He knew that what he said was exaggerated, and he also knew that Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun was able to see through it. He was betting on only two points -

First of all, as long as the ghosts in Fengdu City act recklessly, they will naturally arouse the disgust of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

Second, it is a gamble on a little bit of friendship.

Eight thousand years ago, they and their group of King Yama refused to yield in the face of powerful forces, which left a good impression on Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

Just at this moment, King Taisu Miaoguang raised his head, and saw a trace of regret and a trace of sigh-like sorrow in the eyes of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, who was always cold and indifferent, and seemed to never have any expression, as if nothing could affect him.

The look in those eyes.

It was as if he was watching a junior whom he admired die with his own eyes.

King Taisu Miaoguang's heart skipped a beat.

I felt inexplicably flustered.

How……

What happened?!

Great Lord, Great Lord! I am still here, I am still alive!

Why do you think I am no longer here? I am still here. I have been here for eight thousand years until now. I am still alive. I am still the same person I was eight thousand years ago!

At this moment, he saw that the Lord of Mount Tai, who had always behaved coldly and domineeringly, immediately stood up when Yuanshi Tianzun appeared. He no longer had his previous coldness and arrogance, but became serious. He put down the scroll in his hand and then walked down from the seat.

This left a glimmer of hope in King Taisu Miaoguang's heart.

Yes, no matter what, Jade Pure Yuanshi Tianzun has arrived.

The Lord of Mount Tai, no matter how arrogant he is, is still a stranger after all. How can he compare to the affection he had with me eight thousand years ago, and the fate of being able to pass on one of the Jade Pure Dharmas? Just looking at this, the Lord of Mount Tai wants me to leave...

Then, he saw the cold and indifferent Lord of Mount Tai bowing deeply before Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun.

The expression of the Lord of Mount Tai became serious.

He said: "Disciple, I meet you, Master."

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun lowered his eyes, nodded slightly, and said lightly:

"Um."

The smile of final turnaround on King Taisu Miaoguang's face froze.

There was only dead silence all around.
