Xu Xiwang retorted, his face cold and his gaze calm. Although the other party was the Underworld Emperor, he did not back down in the slightest.
"You ask me, by what right?"
The Underworld Emperor spoke, his voice deep and resonant: "This Heavenly Spirit Furnace originally belonged to me; your cultivation level is insufficient to possess it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he made his move. His finger strike was incredibly fast, as if it had pierced through eternity, striking out in an instant like a comet crashing into something.
Xu Xiwang's pupils contracted, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace beneath his feet trembled violently, spewing forth auspicious clouds and showering down countless auspicious lights.
"Clang!"
Xu Xiwang swung his fist, which collided with the finger, unleashing a dazzling light, like a flame blooming.
This is an immense and boundless power, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth and level this place.
The heavens and earth seemed to boil. Xu Xiwang staggered backward, his body cracking and oozing bright red blood. His face was pale, and he coughed.
"Ants!"
The Underworld Emperor's eyes sharpened, and he attacked again. His speed was incredibly fast, almost unbelievable.
He was like a banished immortal, ethereal and otherworldly, with elegant manners; a single finger strike produced a sound like the clang of a celestial sword.
"when!"
A piercing clang of metal clashing rang out, sparks flying, like a waterfall cascading down, sweeping across the heavens and annihilating everything.
Xu Yifeng and Xu Tianming hurriedly stepped in front of them, using their treasures to protect them.
The Underworld Emperor possessed overwhelming power, like an unparalleled emperor looking down upon the world.
He was incredibly powerful. With one step, it was as if he had traversed endless years, appearing right in front of Xu Xiwang. He reached out a large hand, grabbed Xu Xiwang's throat, and lifted him up.
At this moment, Yama, the King of Hell, appeared silently and grabbed at the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace in Xu Xiwang's hand, trying to seize it.
However, before he could even touch the magical treasure, his entire body was frozen in place, with endless runes filling the void.
"To steal something right under my nose is incredibly audacious."
The Underworld Emperor whispered, pointing a finger at Yama, the King of Hell, in the void.
"Buzzing, rumbling..."
The heavens and earth resonated, and boundless laws of order surged forth, like divine pillars of heaven and earth, sealing off a space.
Yama, the King of Hell, unleashed his Heavenly Manifestation, and a gigantic, terrifying ghost face appeared, roaring and spewing out a silver river that crashed into the laws of order.
"Bang bang bang..."
A series of explosions rang out, and the enormous ghost face was shattered into pieces, completely destroyed. However, the laws of order did not weaken in the slightest and continued to suppress, attempting to obliterate everything.
"snort!"
King Yama snorted coldly, and an astonishing wave erupted from his body, obliterating all the laws of order. However, his expression was extremely ugly.
"The Underworld Emperor defeated Yama's avatar with a mere flick of his finger."
The Yellow Springs Ghost Emperor was terrified, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"His debut was his peak, but given the legendary ruthlessness of the Underworld Emperor, it's either submission or death."
As he spoke, the Void Ghost Emperor vanished into nothingness. This emperor of the Nine Netherworlds had actually escaped!
But in just a moment, his figure reappeared, still standing in the same spot, not daring to move.
Because he saw the Underworld Emperor staring at him with a half-smile.
This chilled him to the bone; it was a silent warning.
"Didn't you run away? Why are you back?"
The Ghost Emperor glanced at him and said indifferently, his voice tinged with mockery.
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense. With my integrity, how could I possibly run away? I went to investigate the situation here. It seems this place has already been sealed off by the Underworld Emperor. The Underworld Emperor has such power so soon after his resurrection. I wonder how he will treat us..."
The Void Ghost Emperor spoke righteously, as if he were truly saying that he was not fleeing, but rather observing the enemy's situation.
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! The mighty Void Ghost Emperor has actually learned to lie through his teeth."
"Who would believe you? You old codger must have run away when things got bad."
"Trying to escape, but you were stopped by the Underworld Emperor's restrictions."
The Ghost Emperors mocked.
The Void Ghost Emperor's face was stiff, and he was furious inside, but on the surface he remained calm and composed.
"Hehe, Lord Underworld Emperor, although you broke my Dharma Form with one move, you are all bark and no bite. If I'm not mistaken, you are probably just using your remnant soul to control your corpse right now."
Yama removed his hat and raincoat, revealing an old and blurry body, his eyes flashing with a fierce aura.
"Indeed, my strength is now less than one-hundredth of what it used to be," the Underworld Emperor said indifferently.
"Thank you for your frankness, Your Majesty. However, as the strongest being in the Nine Nether Hells, I cannot give up this treasure."
Yama, the King of Hell, grinned and slapped his hand down.
In an instant, countless Yin soldiers charged forward. Each one was a Yin soldier, exuding a chilling aura. Through their black armor, one could clearly see an ancient character embroidered on their chests—"Yin".
This is the symbol of the underworld and the most commonly used military form of the ghost soldiers, known as the "army of ten thousand ghosts," capable of slaughtering thousands of soldiers.
The army of ghostly soldiers charged in, obscuring the sky. Each one exuded a terrifying aura and a chilling killing intent, like a group of killing gods descending to earth.
"Oh? Ghost soldiers?"
The Underworld Emperor stood on the back of the black dragon, his gray robe fluttering in the wind. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at everything like an emperor reigning over the world.
The Underworld Emperor chuckled softly and simply uttered a command, "Turn."
Countless Yin soldiers trembled violently and turned against Yama, charging towards him with a murderous aura that shook the heavens and terrified everyone.
"What!"
"This army of ten thousand ghosts was created by Yama, who spent over a thousand years collecting countless wronged souls. How could it suddenly betray us?"
"No, that's impossible. The ghost soldiers are the most loyal to Yama, the King of Hell."
The Ghost Emperors cried out in disbelief; this scene was too astonishing.
Even Yama, the King of Hell, was stunned. He stood frozen in the void, watching familiar soldiers turn against him and attack him, his face filled with disbelief.
King Yama's expression changed drastically, and he roared, "Emperor of the Underworld, you are despicable and shameless!"
"I am despicable? Heh, I am merely giving you a taste of your own medicine. After all, you did it of your own volition," the Underworld Emperor laughed.
