If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have swallowed the other person. It's all my own fault!

"Come out!"

Emperor Zhong Kui's face was grim. He opened his mouth, seemingly surrendering to Zhu Moye and letting him out. He thought to himself, "When this guy comes out, I will definitely skin him alive and beat him to death." The moment Zhong Kui opened his mouth, Samadhi True Fire and a large amount of black smoke emerged from it. The scorching flames caused him so much pain that his voice became hoarse. "Come out! I surrender!"

"You took me in if you wanted to, but now you want to let me out? Why?!" Zhu Moye sneered from Zhong Kui's belly. "This place is pretty good, I like it very much. Although the environment is average and a bit cramped, it's good enough to watch the fireworks. I plan to stay here for a month and a half, but I don't know if you, Emperor Zhong Kui, can hold on until then!"

"Ah!"

Emperor Zhong Kui collapsed to the ground, his face flushed with rage. It wasn't clear if it was from the Samadhi True Fire or the rage that surged through his heart. He narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing as he raged, "You don't know what's good for you. I've already lowered myself to let you go, but you're refusing to leave. You're truly abominable! Don't think I can't handle you!"

Give me a break?

Zhong Kui, do you still have any shame? Who's actually giving in now? Who's begging me to leave your body? You have no sense of being a defeated enemy, yet your words are aggressive and threatening. Do you still think you're the almighty Exorcist, the Great Emperor Zhong Kui?

Zhu Moye laughed in anger and said, "If you have the guts, come at me!"

"Good good!"

Zhong Kui was so angry that his body was shaking, his face was dark, and he said "good" three times in a row. His voice was sharp and murderous, as if he was really angry with Zhu Moye and wanted to kill him, otherwise he would not be able to let go of the hatred in his heart.

He endured the pain brought by the burning of the Samadhi True Fire, and rode the Demon-Slaying Sword out of Huangquan, heading west. He found an empty hall in the west of the underworld, pushed the door open, and walked in. His steps were a little unsteady, then he sat cross-legged on the cushion, closed his eyes, and sat upright.

The spirit is out of body!

Zhong Kui's Yin Spirit left his body, flew into the mouth of Zhong Kui's body, followed the esophagus, and came to the stomach cage. However, the Samadhi True Fire that hit him made him retreat three steps, not daring to approach Zhu Moye rashly.

"The soul left the body?"

Zhu Moye narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing. One of the magics mastered upon reaching the Earthly Immortal realm was the ability to experience the soul leaving the body. Legend has it that upon attaining Earthly Immortal status, the soul can leave the body and wander between heaven and earth, becoming a form of incarnation, imbued with magical powers, no less than a physical body. However, there were clear differences between the two. The soul leaving the body? No, Emperor Zhong Kui was a Yin spirit from the underworld. He was experiencing the Yin spirit leaving the body!

Looking up at Zhong Kui's soul who was avoiding the Samadhi True Fire, Zhu Moye opened his mouth and spit out flames of different colors towards him. It was the mutated Samadhi True Fire. The flames grew in the wind and turned into a sea of ​​fire in the sky.

Chapter 492: Kill Zhong Kui and attack Qin Guang Palace

The Samadhi True Fire grew as it faced the wind, turning into a sea of ​​fire that filled the sky, trapping the Yin God Zhong Kun in the center of the Samadhi True Fire sea. The flames burned fiercely, burning thousands of black holes in the stomach wall, leaving it devastated and emitting black smoke. Many flame seedlings drilled into it, burning fiercely, as if the entire stomach wall was about to melt. The scene was horrific.

Meanwhile, trapped in the center of the sea of ​​fire, the Yin God Zhong Kui's expression changed drastically, his leopard eyes gleaming with panic. Was this truly the Samadhi True Fire? It should be catching up to the Six Ding Divine Fire within the Eight Trigrams Furnace of the Jade Emperor, right? The Yin God Zhong Kui dodged the Samadhi True Fire left and right, soaring into the sky in an attempt to escape, but the flames of the Samadhi True Fire pushed him back down, encircling him in the sea of ​​fire.

Now it's too late to escape.

Want to escape?

Seeing that the Yin God Zhong Kui seemed to be trying to escape, Zhu Moye activated his magic power and controlled the Samadhi True Fire. The fire suddenly grew stronger, blocking all the retreat routes of the Yin God Zhong Kui. He had nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide.

The Yin God Zhong Kui continuously mobilized the Samadhi True Fire surrounding the Mana Hell and the overwhelming high-temperature air waves. His face flushed red and he began to gasp for air. However, every breath burned his Yin God. His voice seemed to be hoarse, sharp and unpleasant, like a night owl. He said hatefully, "Damn you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Shen Zhong Kui stared at Zhu Moye, gritting his teeth. With a fierce determination, he transformed the hundred years of cultivation he had lost into a continuous flow of mana to replenish the mana he had consumed. His cultivation increased several times, and his aura suddenly changed, wiping out his decadent look. However, only Yin Shen Zhong Kui knew that a temporary increase in cultivation was only temporary; once time passed, it would drop back down again.

To sacrifice a hundred years of cultivation just to gain five minutes of time is too high a price to pay!

The Yin God Zhong Kui felt a pang of pain in his heart. A hundred years of hard work had been wasted in an instant. However, being able to escape was worth it, not to mention a hundred years of hard work, even if it cost him all his life's cultivation.

If you lose your cultivation, you can start over. However, if you lose your life, you can only leave it to fate. You don't know if you will have the chance to be reincarnated. Perhaps, you will be reduced to ashes, your soul and body will be destroyed!

Damaging one's own cultivation to improve it? Zhong Kui is truly a ruthless person!

Zhu Moye kept his eyes on the Yin God Zhong Kui. Seeing that the other party's momentum suddenly changed, his cultivation level improved, his magic power became stronger, and his protective qi could barely resist the Samadhi True Fire, he guessed that Zhong Kui was damaging his own cultivation level and strengthening his own strength in a period of time to achieve the purpose of resisting the Samadhi True Fire.

Yin God Zhong Kui and Zhu Moye stared at each other from a distance, their eyes blazing with hatred. Zhu Moye could even see the raging anger and hatred in the Yin God Zhong Kui's eyes. The Emperor Dragon's body was half transformed, and scales grew on his arms. Under the light of the fire, they turned orange. His five fingers also grew longer, transforming into dragon claws. He clenched them into fists, then opened them again, releasing wisps of golden power.

Zhu Moye used the dragon power to drive the dragon arm, doubling the power. He used dragon claws instead of swords and performed sword moves. The sword condensed the magic dragon power and turned it into a giant golden sword. It fell towards the Yin God Zhong Kui as if cutting through the void, with astonishing power.

Boom!

The sea of ​​fire formed by the Samadhi True Fire split into two, and the golden giant sword slashed through it.

"escape!"

After the Yin God Zhong Kui dodged the golden giant sword, he turned into a black stream of light and flew out of the stomach wall and returned to his body. His face was as pale as paper. His body swayed and he fell to the ground. With a "puff" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"hold head high!"

A dragon roar emanated from Emperor Zhong Kui's body, and a pair of dragon claws burrowed out of his skin. With a "hiss," a pair of golden claws burst out of his body, and a large amount of blood flowed out. Then, a five-clawed dragon flew out from Emperor Zhong Kui's stomach. Its massive body broke through the palace and hovered in the sky. Its colorful eyes stared at Zhong Kui and roared.

Emperor Zhong Kui's face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat streaming down his forehead. He clutched his hand at the bleeding wound, blood trickling out from between his fingers. Gathering his remaining magical power, he summoned the Ghost Slaying Sword. A crimson glow blazed brightly, and he controlled the Ghost Slaying Sword, transforming it into a streak of red light and escaping at full speed into the distance. In an instant, Emperor Zhong Kui vanished into the vast underworld, leaving no trace.

Emperor Zhong Kui desperately fled thousands of miles away and landed in a safe place. As soon as he landed, his legs softened, he swayed a few times, and collapsed to the ground. With a light "puff" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Everything went black, and Emperor Zhong Kui's consciousness went blank, as if he had returned to chaos. Before he passed out, Emperor Zhong Kui had been brooding over this matter, unable to let it go. Wasn't the other party only at the Quasi-Earth Immortal realm? Why was he so strong?! He was no less powerful than a late-stage Earth Immortal!

But, the other party’s cultivation level is there, how could it not be?

This boy is too weird. He cannot be judged by common sense. He is obviously only at the quasi-earth immortal realm, but he has cultivated the Samadhi True Fire magical power that only those at the Golden Immortal realm are qualified to practice. It's too weird!

Moreover, this boy's Samadhi True Fire magical power is astonishingly powerful and extraordinary. Its power has surpassed the ordinary Samadhi True Fire and is almost catching up with the legendary Six Ding Divine Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun, right?

too strong!

However, Emperor Zhong Kui did not consider himself inferior to Zhu Moye, but rather believed that he was too careless in this battle and underestimated his opponent, which led to his defeat. To be honest, Emperor Zhong Kui had been slaying demons and monsters for many years since he attained enlightenment, and he had never been defeated. He could not have imagined that he would fall to the hands of an emperor at the Quasi-Earth Immortal Realm today, losing a hundred years of cultivation, severely damaging his vitality, and fleeing in defeat.

The more Emperor Zhong Kui thought about it, the more he became dissatisfied and unwilling to give in. Suddenly, his blood rushed to his heart and rushed to his head. His face turned pale, his throat tasted fishy and sweet, and he mouthful of blood spurted out and passed out.

……

the other side.

Zhu Moye, transformed into a three-kilometer-long five-clawed dragon, gazed at the blood-soaked Emperor Zhong Kui, and in that instant, numerous thoughts surged through his mind. He considered many things, constantly weighing the pros and cons, imagining the various causes and consequences. After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give up the idea of ​​pursuing the victorious Emperor.

"hold head high!"

The dragon roared towards the sky with a terrifying force, and charged towards Qin Guang Palace.

Chapter 493: King Qin Guang, the Ruler of the Underworld

"hold head high!"

The dragon raised its head to the heavens and roared loudly. The earth seemed to shake with the sound, and the sound resonated in all directions, reaching all directions and spreading throughout the underworld. In an instant, the underworld was in chaos. The ghosts and the millions of wronged ghosts turned pale, covered their ears, and wailed and wailed in agony. They rolled on the ground, trembling and screaming.

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons, the Black and White Impermanence, many evil spirits and ghost messengers, as well as millions of wronged ghosts who had just come down to the underworld to report after their lifespans ended, fell to the ground as soon as they passed the "Gate of Hell in the Netherworld", covered their ears with their hands, their faces turned pale, they were in great pain, and wailed everywhere.

Word of this had already reached Qin Guang Hall, and the earth-shaking dragon roar alarmed Prince Qin Guang and Judge Cui. Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, one of the Four Great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, who resides deep within the underworld, was startled.

"It's bad, Lord Qin Guangwang."

A ghost messenger, pale and stumbling, rushed into the Qin Guang Palace in panic. Seeing Prince Qin Guang and Judge Cui, he knelt down and said in panic, "Something terrible has happened."

"As a spirit from the underworld, do you understand the rules? Why didn't you let me know beforehand before entering? How disrespectful! Believe it or not, I will strip you of your position and banish you to the animal realm as a punishment."

King Qin Guang, seated high above, cast his gaze upon the panicked Yinshen Ghost Messenger. His face darkened, his brow furrowed, and he spoke in a deep voice, "This time, I will spare you. If you do it again, I will punish you severely and show no mercy. Tell me, what has happened that has you so flustered?"

"Please ask King Qin Guang to atone for his sins."

Upon hearing this, the ghost messenger turned pale with fear and kowtowed. However, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the rest of King Qin Guang's words. He took a deep breath and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency King Qin Guang, something terrible has happened. A dragon's roar suddenly erupted from outside, and the ghost messengers and millions of new ghosts were frightened and fell to the ground, wailing and howling. Chaos is now raging outside the underworld, and some unruly ghosts have taken advantage of the distraction of the Black and White Impermanence, unable to control them, to escape through the Ghost Gate and flee to the world of the living."

"Is this happening?"

Upon hearing this, King Qin Guang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Just now, I also heard a dragon roar that shook the heavens and earth and made the gods weep. Who was responsible? Judge Cui, please go and investigate this matter."

"Yes, King Qin Guang!"

Judge Cui nodded and left Qin Guang Hall.

"Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced!"

Prince Qin Guang's face darkened as he drummed his fingers on the tabletop. The sound of "Da! Da!" echoed throughout the Qin Guang Palace, seemingly lingering in the air. Upon hearing this, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Guards stood up, their hands hanging down, their heads bowed as they stared at their feet.

quiet!

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, the sound of a pin drop being heard with a clatter. The "tapping" sound powerfully reached the ears of all the Yin Gods present, making the eerie and terrifying hall even more eerie and indescribably oppressive.

The Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons didn't dare to breathe, their hearts were in great torment, but they didn't dare show any dissatisfaction on their faces, nor did they dare to say a word to interrupt King Qin Guang's thoughts. They could only wait patiently.

Gulu!

The Yin Gods swallowed their saliva secretly. Although the sound was small, it still startled King Qin Guang. King Qin Guang looked over at the sound, scanning the Yin Gods, and finally settled on the two Yin Gods, Ox-Head and Horse-Face. He said in a deep voice, "Ox-Head and Horse-Face."

The two Yin spirits, Ox-Head and Horse-Face, had long been on pins and needles, unable to move or stay still. They felt uneasy, as if they were worried that King Qin Guang would vent his anger on them, which would be a great injustice for them. At this moment, when they heard King Qin Guang mention their names, they were startled and quickly replied, "The little gods are here!"

"You, go and capture the evil spirits that have escaped, committed evil, and are restless."

King Qin Guang drummed his fingers, and the sound stopped abruptly. His majestic aura made people awed. Then he changed the subject and said in a cold voice, "If you encounter an evil ghost that resists stubbornly, I allow you to beat it until its soul is shattered and it will never be reborn."

"Yes, King Qin Guang, I obey your command!"

After receiving the order, the Ox-Head and Horse-Faced Demons secretly rejoiced. They had originally thought that King Qin Guang would use them as targets for his wrath. However, their fears did not materialize, and instead they gained the power to kill the evil spirits. They excused themselves and left the Qin Guang Hall.

As the Ox-Headed Horsemen left, Judge Cui stepped into Qin Guang Hall. His face was panicked, and his official uniform was even stained with a few drops of black blood, like a blooming black plum blossom. He walked in three steps at a time. Seeing Judge Cui's return, but with a strange expression, Prince Qin Guang frowned and asked, "Judge Cui, have you investigated the origin of the dragon's roar and who caused it?"

"I've already found out who's making that dragon roar." Judge Cui's face turned pale as paper as he replied, "That dragon roar is the work of the evil ghost who murdered the Yin God. He seems to have escaped from the hell."

"It's him?"

Upon hearing this, King Qin Guang's expression shifted, his brow furrowed. He asked in a deep voice, "How did he escape from the Abyss of Hell? Judge Cui, didn't the Great Exorcist Zhong Kui subdue him?"

"Emperor Zhong Kui..." When the Exorcist Emperor Zhong Kui was mentioned, Judge Cui's expression turned even uglier. "Emperor Zhong Kui was seriously injured, his abdomen was rotten to pieces, and the magic weapon he refined with his own stomach was also burned by the Samadhi True Fire. Even his Yin Spirit was injured, and his life is hanging by a thread."

"Zhong Kui lost?!"

King Qin Guang's face froze. He said in disbelief, "With Zhong Kui's strength, he was actually defeated by this opponent, and suffered such serious injuries that his life was hanging by a thread. Who on earth is that person? Even the Exorcist Zhong Kui couldn't defeat him, and was seriously injured instead."

"Lord Qin Guangwang, there's one more thing I'm not sure if I should tell you." Judge Cui saw Zhong Kui's miserable state and felt a chill in his heart. It was too serious. His abdomen had been ripped open! He was still in a coma and hadn't woken up yet. Judge Cui's face was grim. "I'm afraid..."

"Say!"

King Qin Guang looked gloomy and waved his hand.

"This person is now..."

Chapter 494: Rumble in the Underworld

"This man is causing trouble outside and is now heading towards Qin Guang Palace. Lord Qin Guang Wang, what should we do now?" Judge Cui looked anxious and confused. He didn't know what to do for a moment and didn't know where to start. In short, he was in great panic and had a headache.

"Heading towards Qin Guangdian?"

Upon hearing this, King Qin Guang slammed the table and stood up, furious. "This bastard is truly despicable. He not only killed the Yin spirits, but now he wants to imitate that demonic monkey, Sun Wukong, and wreak havoc in the underworld. Judge Cui, where is that bastard now?"

"Reporting to Prince Qin Guang, this boy has already come charging towards us. I believe he'll reach the Qin Guang Palace in less than a quarter of an hour. Your Excellency, what should we do now? I'm worried that this boy is unruly and might emulate Sun Wukong and wreak havoc in the underworld." Judge Cui worriedly asked, "Emperor Zhong Kui is seriously injured and unconscious, his life hanging by a thread. What should we do?"

"There are tens of thousands of Yin spirits in the underworld. Is there no one who can stop that abominable brat?"

King Qin Guang was enraged, puffing his beard and glaring. He slammed the table and shouted, "Besides Zhong Kui, is there no one else? This is ridiculous! The vast underworld can't stop a brat. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock in the three realms if this were to spread out? Hundreds of years ago, that demonic monkey Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the underworld, rewriting the Book of Life and Death, a scene known to all the three realms. After this incident, the underworld has been the laughing stock of the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. Hundreds of years later, another demon has appeared to cause chaos in the underworld. This is truly outrageous and outrageous."

"Can't stop it!"

Judge Cui replied, "That man's magical power is immense. He appears to be only at the Quasi-Earth Immortal realm, but his power is truly that of a late Earth Immortal, even surpassing it to reach the Celestial Immortal realm. Furthermore, he's practically invincible in close combat. The Yin spirits of the underworld couldn't last a single round before being slain by him."

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

King Qin Guang's face darkened, clearly furious. In the vast underworld, no one could stand up to that brat. One round? They couldn't even hold out for one round. They were all a bunch of rubbish!

"Lord Qin Guangwang, would you like to invite them over?"

Judge Cui saw that King Qin Guang's face had darkened and he was agitated. He could only suggest, "Given the strength of those gentlemen, if we ask them to take action, we might be able to subdue that man."

"No!"

King Qin Guang shook his head and said, "I don't need to rely on their strength to subdue a villain who is causing trouble in the underworld. Besides, their duties are different, so it is not convenient to ask them to take action."

"Then why not ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help!"

Judge Cui understood Prince Qin Guang's concerns and suggested, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical powers are immense. He has long since reached the sea of ​​wisdom of the Buddha. His merits are complete and he should have attained Buddhahood long ago. However, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once vowed: 'I will not attain Bodhi until all sentient beings are saved, and I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty.'" With Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical powers, he can definitely subdue this man. When the demon monkey Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor sent an envoy to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Paradise to ask the Tathagata Buddha to subdue the demon. He then banished Sun Wukong to the human world and sealed him beneath the Five Finger Mountain. It is said that even today, Sun Wukong has not yet escaped the seal of the Five Finger Mountain. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has already reached the realm of Buddhahood, but has not yet achieved enlightenment."

"Buddha Tathagata? Sun Wukong?"

A glint flashed in Prince Qin Guang's eyes, and a strange expression faded, leaving a trace of something indescribable. Judge Cui also noticed Prince Qin Guang's strange expression, but he knew there were some things he shouldn't ask, or he would suffer the consequences. Judge Cui looked down at his feet, seemingly unable to hear Prince Qin Guang's mumblings, and mentally reminded himself that it was his duty to do his job well.

Prince Qin Guang's gaze fell on Judge Cui. Undoubtedly, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva should have attained Buddhahood long ago. Yet, he had vowed, "I will not attain Buddhahood until all sentient beings are saved, and until hell is empty." Saving all sentient beings and not emptying hell? How could that possibly be possible? Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Buddhism truly played a masterful game.

King Qin Guang sneered inwardly and nodded, saying, "For now, we have no choice but to ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for help." After a pause, King Qin Guang gently called out to the outside of the hall, "Someone come."

"This little god pays homage to His Majesty King Qin Guang."

A Yin God walked in and said respectfully.

King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes and ordered, "Go and listen to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva come out of retreat and subdue the evildoers for me."

"Yes, Lord Qin Guangwang,"

Yin Shengui almost nodded and left Qin Guang Hall.

"Lord Qin Guang Wang, what should we do now?" Judge Cui was relieved to see that Qin Guang Wang had already sent for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He asked for Qin Guang Wang's opinion, "Should we leave Qin Guang Hall now?"
