Is this the underworld?
The group arrived in a gray, hazy world.
There's no difference between this place and the outside world, except that the sky here is gray and wisps of light, hazy mist float in the air.
The whole world was like a foggy, overcast day.
However, at this moment, there was absolutely no death energy in the underworld.
Its quiet and peaceful appearance surpasses even that of the human world.
"Oh no!"
What does it mean that there are no ghosts in the underworld?
This means that living beings in the human world cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation after they die!
Monkey King was no stranger to the underworld, and he led everyone directly to the Yama Palace.
After crossing the wide Bridge of Helplessness, the bridge was shattered into pieces.
The lanterns on the bridge appeared to have been trampled on and broken.
On the other hand, there was not a trace of any aura in the Yama Palace.
But the signs of battle are still visible.
It looked as if this place had been bombarded with great magical power.
The formation completely collapsed, and the buildings crumbled.
Similarly, there were no corpses or signs of life here.
"The Jade Emperor is too ruthless, even more ruthless than I was back in my day!"
With a single glance, Monkey King knew what had happened.
"Brother Monkey, what's going on?"
Of all the people, only Chen Chu didn't understand what had happened.
Monkey explained.
"Once the ghosts in the underworld are obliterated, they are completely wiped out, leaving no trace of their presence. Even the original inhabitants of the underworld will transform into soul flowers of the other shore after death, growing throughout the underworld."
"Even so, all sorts of soul flower seeds will fall."
"Look here, there's no life force at all. It's obvious that the Jade Emperor ate all these demons, big and small!"
Chen Chu was somewhat surprised. Sure enough, the Ghost Realm instance was a fragment of the Underworld.
However, according to Monkey King, the soul flowers in the underworld are somewhat different from those in the ghost realm.
The soul flowers in the ghost realm are all of a single type, but the soul flowers in the underworld are of various kinds.
"Even those who didn't die are probably hiding deep within the sea of blood!"
Erlang Shen opened his Heavenly Eye and observed the surrounding scenery. "Stupid dog, investigate again. Where has the Jade Emperor gone?"
"The Jade Emperor has gone...to the Heavenly Court!"
The Celestial Hound was a little confused, and even doubted whether his magic had failed.
The Jade Emperor just stormed from the outer heavens to the underworld, only to slaughter and devour a wave of enemies before fleeing.
Erlang Shen muttered, "He caused the Six Paths of Reincarnation to collapse, devoured the Underworld, and then went to the Heavenly Court. What was he going to do in the Heavenly Court?"
Nezha sneered from the side, "Who cares what he does? Does he want to become the Heavenly Ruler?"
Upon hearing Nezha's words, Erlang Shen's eyes widened instantly.
"Nezha, you're right, the Jade Emperor has gone mad, he's completely insane!"
"Let's hurry back to Heaven!"
"He wants to usurp the mandate of heaven!"
What does it mean to act on behalf of Heaven?
That is to transform oneself into the Heavenly Way.
By dismantling the original cycle of reincarnation, shattering the existing Heavenly Dao, and then transforming oneself into the Dao to make up for the deficiencies of the Heavenly Dao, one can reach a state of eternal immortality.
And their strength goes without saying.
They have all become the Heavenly Dao. Not to mention the third realm, even if a powerful being from the fourth realm came, they would not be able to withstand the Heavenly Dao's offensive.
To go against the will of Heaven is to go against the entire world.
The group was led by the nose by the Jade Emperor and arrived at the Heavenly Court once again.
At the South Heavenly Gate, hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals gathered.
They suddenly received a summons from the Jade Emperor.
Besides the heavenly soldiers and generals, all the other gods also came.
Just now, the Jade Emperor issued a decree to them.
Let them gather at the South Heavenly Gate.
Everyone was excited.
The Heavenly Court was robbed by those ruthless bandits, and many people dared not speak out against it.
Now that the Jade Emperor has returned, they have finally found a powerful backer.
So the gods rushed over on clouds one by one.
However, when they arrived, they discovered that the truth was not like that at all.
The Jade Emperor did indeed return, but this Jade Emperor was not the one they knew before.
"What's wrong? Everyone seems so afraid of me!"
The Jade Emperor's eyes were bloodshot, shimmering with crimson light, and he was tearing off the heart of a heavenly soldier and chewing it in his mouth.
At the Jade Emperor's feet, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals had already fallen.
All of these people were consumed by the Jade Emperor, who devoured all their spiritual energy.
"Come on over here!"
"Your Majesty...we...we should take our leave for now!"
The gods and immortals began to feel awe and retreated.
However, the Jade Emperor merely snorted coldly.
They all suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.
"Since you're here, don't leave. Stay and become a part of me!"
The Jade Emperor opened his mouth and inhaled!
In the minds of these deities, their divine consciousness and spiritual essence were directly separated.
Their cultivation levels plummeted!
"You old Jade Emperor, let's see where you run this time!"
Monkey King let out a loud shout!
The golden cudgel descended from the sky!
boom!
Caught off guard, the Jade Emperor was knocked off balance!
"Monkey, you dare to come back?"
This time, the Jade Emperor's eyes were filled with excitement.
"You've come at the right time! If you weren't here, how could I transform into the Heavenly Dao!"
As the Jade Emperor watched the Monkey King and his companions approach, he laughed arrogantly, scattering the colorful clouds in the sky and suppressing the auspicious rainbows.
