"How is this possible..."
The Underworld Emperor muttered to himself, his aura unstable, and he almost lost his cultivation level.
Looking at Li Ming's calm appearance, he didn't seem like someone who had gone mad. The terrifying aura emanating from his body was incredibly powerful.
If we categorize it by realm, it would be at least the seventh level of Immortality.
You have to understand, how long has it been since Li Ming broke through to the Immortal Realm?
It's easy to imagine how much benefit all of this brought him.
Of course, being able to absorb this primordial demonic energy is a testament to its skill and ability; even the Buddha of the Western Paradise wouldn't dare to do such a thing.
Do you have any left on you?
Li Ming looked at the other person with some regret.
He could tell that the Underworld Emperor no longer seemed to possess that extremely pure demonic essence.
This was far more effective for him than any elixir or magic potion. The power it contained was the primordial power of all heavens, and it was as vast as mountains and seas, not just a few strands.
"Hahaha!"
The Underworld Emperor trembled slightly, looking extremely forlorn, and had completely lost his will to fight.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of despair wash over him again, something that hadn't been felt for so many years.
"It seems that's the end for you."
Li Ming calmly looked ahead, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
The Underworld Emperor is extremely talented and has great potential. Acting as the Lord of the Underworld is an unparalleled opportunity. If he could relinquish this power and forge his own path, his achievements would be immeasurable. He has the potential to transcend, and at least has a great chance of reaching the peak of immortality.
Unfortunately, he lost to himself.
This "self" refers to Li Ming, and also to himself.
"I'm not reconciled!"
Seeing Li Ming's nonchalant attitude, as if he didn't take him seriously, a nameless rage ignited in his chest.
Why could the other party so easily do things he couldn't even imagine?
He was unwilling to accept it and didn't want to believe it!
Li Ming naturally wouldn't tell him that he actually had a backup plan. The figure deep in his heart couldn't just sit idly by; that was his own trump card.
Of course, I couldn't be bothered to talk to the other party about it.
"Very well, if you can endure all of this, I will help you attain enlightenment."
As the last thought flashed through the mind of the Underworld Emperor, his body transformed into a beam of demonic light.
"This is the accumulation of millions of years. If you can receive it, you will become the ruler of the underworld!"
In a battle of wits, defeat inevitably comes at a great cost. Moreover, he had gone all out and exhausted all his resources. If he continued to fight, defeat was only a matter of time. He did not believe that his opponent would spare his life.
This is the cause and effect of his acting as the lord of the underworld for thousands of years, and it is also the source of his enlightenment.
A flash of demonic light entered Li Ming's brow, and Li Ming made no attempt to dodge.
Whoosh~
As the demonic light entered his body, the world projected into his mind finally dissipated, and Li Ming's figure appeared in the underworld.
The dark energy accumulated over millions of years in all the heavens and the underworld has now piled up inside Li Ming's body.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Li Ming slowly opened his eyes.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of gloom arose in his heart, and endless thoughts arose in his mind. In the end, the Underworld Emperor transformed into something like a ball of information, which was a manifestation of his own essence.
For a moment, he found himself unable to control his body.
"Being the lord of the underworld is indeed not an easy job!"
Li Ming didn't mind the sudden appearance of this emotion and gave a slight sigh of admiration.
The fact that the Underworld Emperor did not leave the Underworld was not only to keep the promise of the person behind him, but more importantly, he probably would not be able to bear the weight of the Underworld if he went out.
However, he remained calm and was able to handle the pressure.
"The eighth level of immortality..."
Li Ming's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly realized where he was.
It is no longer the path of life and death in the underworld.
Rather, it is the realm of the six realms of reincarnation.
This place is isolated from the world, where the laws of reincarnation flow, and a pure white aura stirs within, appearing and disappearing intermittently.
It evokes a sense of the passage of time and the changing of the world, as if time itself has stood still. Time flies by, and eternity passes, but this place remains eternal.
As a forbidden area among all the heavens, it can be said to be an existence even more transcendent than the heavens. Even without the heavens, all the myriad worlds can still exist. Without reincarnation, it would be unimaginably terrifying.
Even the Heavenly Emperor only rules over the Underworld, not over reincarnation.
"Three Lives Grass, Reincarnation Flower..."
Li Ming looked at the flowers and plants on the ground and a thought struck him.
"Legend has it that eating the Three Lives Grass will allow one to comprehend the cultivation of three lifetimes, and consuming the Reincarnation Flower will ensure that one will not fall into the mortal world and will have innate wisdom in every lifetime."
This is a legendary object that only exists in rumors, but I never expected to see it everywhere here.
However, such things only grow after being nurtured for countless years.
Li Ming withdrew his gaze, not seeming to care much.
"Come in..."
At this moment, a heavenly sound came from the cave ahead, ethereal and containing a magical power that could dispel worries and soothe all injustices.
The two white jade doors of the cave opened silently.
Li Ming wasn't worried that the creature inside would harm him, and he stepped inside quite naturally, as if he were returning to his own home.
After he went inside, the white jade door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Deep within the cave, ethereal mists lingered, accompanied by an ancient and timeless aura.
A giant diagram of the Six Paths of Reincarnation floats in the air.
But at the very center, something seems to be missing.
Li Ming suddenly realized that the Reincarnation Seal should have remained in the Six Paths of Reincarnation diagram.
Beneath the Six Paths of Reincarnation diagram is a graceful figure sitting on a futon woven from the leaves of the Jianmu tree, radiating the aura of the Great Dao.
When Li Ming arrived here, everything felt strangely familiar.
He looked at the person in front of him calmly.
The other person sat cross-legged beneath the Six Paths of Reincarnation diagram, so beautiful it seemed unreal, ethereal and otherworldly. Though clearly right before one's eyes, it appeared as if it were on the horizon, like a supreme female immortal transcending all things.
She is the one who entrusted the Underworld to the King of the Underworld, and is also the supreme being in all the heavens and myriad realms.
"You've finally arrived."
The other party did not speak or open their eyes, and the ethereal voice rang out again.
"Greetings to the Goddess Houtu."
Li Ming naturally knew who the person in front of him was.
Heaven and Earth have existed since ancient times.
This is common knowledge that almost all living beings in the universe know.
Here, the opponent is the Lord of the Earth and the Lord of Reincarnation. Even the Heavenly Emperor must treat him with respect. In this land of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, almost no one can rival him.
Houtu looked at the respectful Li Ming and said in a slightly teasing tone:
"Fellow Daoist Li, there's no need for such formalities."
With a casual wave of her hand, a white jade platform, along with tables and chairs, appeared in front of Li Ming.
Li Ming didn't stand on ceremony and sat down calmly.
In his memory, the two were strangers, which meant they must have known each other in a past life.
"This is the last drop of Pangu's essence blood in all realms."
"You don't need to thank me; helping you is also helping myself."
With a wave of her hand, Houtu gave Li Ming an unimaginable gift.
