The Emperor of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, was in a state of extreme distress. Half his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and blood streamed from the corner of his mouth. He collapsed into the vast pit, his body trembling uncontrollably. Overwhelmed by fear, he dared not even stand.
He was originally a pawn planted in the underworld by the Heavenly Court and Yuanshi Tianzun. The Emperor of Fengdu had always disliked him. Now that he had been humiliated in front of everyone, his hatred for Yu Kai was like a prairie fire. He secretly swore in his heart that if he got the chance, he would make Yu Kai pay back a thousand times for the humiliation he had suffered today.
The Emperor of Fengdu's gaze, as sharp as an ice knife, swung towards Yu Kai and coldly questioned, "You are acting so recklessly in my underworld. Do you want to experience all the suffering in hell?"
"I have no intention of offending the underworld. I was just shocked to learn that my relatives were murdered, and I couldn't control my emotions for a moment." Yu Kai responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
He has secretly sent a distress signal to the Devouring Emperor. As long as he can buy enough time and wait for the Devouring Emperor to arrive, he will have enough confidence to enter the restricted area.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings quickly flew over and bowed respectfully to the Emperor of Fengdu, saying, "Emperor! This is the son of the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen, and also a renowned figure on the Heavenly Pride Ranking, Yu Kai, who ranks second. The newly emerged Emperor Devourer is his protector, and the Earth Mother has specifically instructed me to take good care of him!"
"Is this the reason you dare to wreak havoc in my underworld?" The Emperor of Fengdu stared at Yu Kai coldly and snorted again.
"I've already explained it. It was clearly the Emperor of Mount Tai who initiated the attack and was very aggressive!" Yu Kai said in a calm tone.
"Does this count as me being aggressive towards you?" The Emperor of Fengdu snorted coldly. In an instant, an unparalleled pressure from the Emperor of Dao surged out from him like a surging tsunami, sweeping towards Yu Kai.
This overwhelming pressure was like an invisible, towering mountain, violently sending Yu Kai flying. Yu Kai felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if struck by a sledgehammer. Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He retreated repeatedly through the void, shattering the air beneath his feet with every step. It was with great difficulty that he finally managed to steady himself.
"Your Majesty! You are clearly bullying the weak and taking advantage of your power!" Yu Kai tightly grasped the Moon Spirit Holy Sword, endured the pain, took a step forward resolutely, and confronted the Emperor of Fengdu without flinching.
"So what if I bully you?" The Emperor of Fengdu snorted coldly, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew Yu Kai had the Emperor's backing, but he couldn't completely disregard his authority as the Lord of the Underworld. Having just injured Yu Kai was also a way of giving an explanation to the Underworld.
"I have already sent a message to Emperor Shi, and Emperor Shi has already formed an alliance with Nuwa and Tongtian. Your actions show that you don't take these three Holy Emperors seriously." Yu Kai had already seen through that although Emperor Fengdu appeared tough on the surface, he was actually a little weak in his heart.
"Hmph! The Devouring Emperor is the Devouring Emperor, and you are yours. You can't even represent the Three Holy Emperors. Besides, my Queen is no weaker than them!" The Emperor of Fengdu feigned composure, but a wave of unease was already brewing within him. He hadn't expected the Devouring Emperor to find an ally, and no longer fear Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi.
"Although I cannot represent Nuwa and the others, I went to Kunlun Mountain in person to release the Devouring Emperor. He will never sit idly by and watch me being bullied!" As he spoke, Yu Kai had already arrived in front of the Emperor of Fengdu and even directly put away the Moon Spirit Holy Sword. This action was somewhat fearless and resolute.
The Emperor of Fengdu hadn't expected Yu Kai to be so clueless. Even as he was about to give in, he still approached, embarrassing him. If he hadn't been so concerned about Emperor Shi, he would have wanted to slap him to death. He stared at Yu Kai, his expression shifting, his heart boiling with rage.
Seeing the situation was dire, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun quickly flew over to smooth things over. He was genuinely worried that Yu Kai would completely anger Fengdu Emperor. After all, as the absolute ruler of the underworld, his authority could not be violated. He hurriedly said, "Emperor, since Mother Earth specifically asked me to take care of him, please let him go this time!"
"Hmph!" The Emperor of Fengdu snorted coldly without saying anything, but the icy breath seemed to be able to freeze the air.
"Yu Kai, hurry up and apologize to the Emperor!" Taiyi Rescuer of Sufferings hurried forward and gently pulled the corner of Yu Kai's clothes, his eyes full of anxiety and suggestion.
Seeing that Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun had personally intervened, Yu Kai had to give him face no matter what. Besides, the Emperor of Fengdu was also on his Seventh Master's side, and they would be meeting each other frequently in the future, so he couldn't afford to embarrass him. So, he quickly bowed and said sincerely, "Emperor, I acted rashly. I hope you will forgive me!"
"For the sake of Mother Earth and Emperor Devourer, you'd better get out of my Netherworld. I don't want to see you again!" Emperor Fengdu snorted coldly and said impatiently.
"Your Majesty, can I go into the restricted area and take a look before leaving?" Yu Kai was unwilling to give in, so he mustered up the courage to ask.
"Is the restricted area a place where you can enter just by saying so?" The King of Fengdu shouted coldly and sternly, and that majestic voice seemed to be able to penetrate the soul.
"I'll just go in and take a look, and come out right away. What do you think?" Yu Kai looked expectant, with a glimmer of desire in his eyes.
"Get out of here now, or don't blame me for personally expelling you!" The Emperor of Fengdu was convinced this brat had bad intentions. He went to Kunlun, and Kunlun was destroyed by the Devouring Emperor; he went to Jiuyou, and the entire Chaos Demon Realm collapsed; he went to the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and their mountains and formations were completely destroyed; and when he came to his underworld, Fengdu City was also devastated. This brat is a true king of destruction! Could he even be planning to destroy the forbidden area?
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, there is something in the underworld that has been calling me. I really want to go in and take a look, and then leave!" Yu Kai really didn't want to be driven away in such a shameful way, so he tried to get closer to the restricted area.
"I've been here since the founding of the Underworld, and I've never felt anything calling me. How dare you attempt to deceive me!" The Emperor of Fengdu was furious. The forbidden area was the lifeblood of the Underworld; nothing could happen to it. He attacked directly, raising his hand and emitting a dark and profound divine light. Like a ferocious beast, it pounced towards Yu Kai, determined to drive him out.
Yu Kai knew the danger of this attack, so he didn't dare to be careless. He instantly unleashed his spatial magical power. His figure flashed, as strange and ghostly as a ghost, cleverly dodging the terrifying divine light. Then, like an arrow from a bow, he darted towards the restricted area deep in the underworld.
"How dare you force your way into the restricted area!" The Emperor of Fengdu couldn't believe his eyes. Yu Kai had recklessly rushed towards the lifeblood of the underworld—the source of psionic energy. His eyes widened in anger, and he raised his hand and struck out. This time, he truly intended to kill. He saw this brat as ungrateful. Even if this offended the Emperor, he would make Yu Kai pay a heavy price.
