Chapter 282 The Emperor's Decree

The underworld, the underworld continent.

A strange and bewitching blood moon hung high in the sky, but it could not bring a trace of warmth. The year-round sinister wind roared around the fields, blowing away the three souls and seven souls of countless souls without intelligence.

On a piece of yellow-brown land, a black city gate as huge as a mountain peak stands, as if it has been suppressed here since ancient times, isolating the two worlds.

Outside the city gate, there is a sea of ​​flowers on the other side. The beautiful blood-red petals add a splendor to the gray underworld. When the dark wind blows, there are bursts of rustling sounds in the sea of ​​flowers.

Every second, countless streams of light fly out from the black city gate, cross the eight hundred miles of Huangquan and the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, fall on the underworld, and become dead souls.

As soon as these dead souls step into the land of the underworld, a group of ghost soldiers wearing black armor and terrifying faces will fly out from the side, escorting groups of dead souls to the nearby Hades City.

In the underworld of the underworld, these dead souls will determine what kind of judgment they will receive based on their merits and karma.

At this time, a light golden stream of light that was much stronger than other streams of light rushed out from Guimen Pass, crossing the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, stirring up blood-red petals.

This stream of light hovered in the void for a moment, and the surrounding rich dark energy poured into it, and a figure slowly appeared.

This is a young-looking figure wearing a white imperial robe. There are nine lifelike real dragons on the imperial robe. His whole body exudes brilliant majesty, making the dead souls crowded around him involuntarily stay away from him.

Zhou Mingxuan was in a trance mentally for a while, but he quickly woke up and suddenly realized that the surrounding environment was different from the Eternal Continent.

One moment he was still in the palace of Chang'an City, and the next moment he felt an irresistible suction force suddenly erupted between heaven and earth, dragging his soul into the depths of the earth.

Combined with his current weak "body", the ubiquitous gray-black netherworld energy, and the ferocious and strange underworld plants, Zhou Mingxuan immediately knew where he was.

"Is this the underworld known as the land of the dead, the realm of the dead?"

Zhou Mingxuan sighed in his heart. After all, he never found the way to live forever until his death. The moment he became the master of the Yun Dynasty, he knew that his lifespan would be suppressed by heaven and earth, and he would not be able to be like those strong martial artists. , long life.

He was able to live to be more than two hundred years old, but he still used the power of the Dayu Dynasty to barely find some heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could extend his life, otherwise his soul would have returned to the underworld long ago.

After all, Zhou Mingxuan was a great emperor. Although he was full of regrets, he still changed his mentality in the shortest possible time and accepted the fact that he had passed away.

Every inch of space outside the sea of ​​flowers on the other side is filled with dead souls. As soon as some dead souls appear in the underworld, they instinctively attack other dead souls around them. With a fierce aura, it is obvious that they were engaged in a fierce battle before their death.

Many dead souls could not accept that they were dead for a while, and broke down and cried loudly on the spot. The world was suddenly filled with the sound of howling ghosts and wolves, and the dark clouds in the sky were dispersed.

Some dead souls saw the gate of hell in the sea of ​​flowers on the other side, and rushed to the towering city gate, hoping to bring themselves back to life.

But before they stepped into the sea of ​​flowers, a soul-locking chain flew out of the void at high speed, piercing their souls and preventing them from moving at all.

"Ahhh!"

The piercing of the soul body is far more than the piercing of the living body. The souls of the dead instantly burst out with deafening wails, making other ghosts shudder and hurried away like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

Zhou Mingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't see where the soul-locking chain came from.

"I still want to rush into the sea of ​​flowers on the other side. Is it because I think my life is too long? I really don't know whether to live or die."

A gloomy hoarse voice came from a distance, sending chills all over the ghosts. A group of ghost soldiers wearing armor walked out of the thick fog. The leader of the ghosts had a soul-locking chain wrapped around their hands.

Most of these ghosts have very ferocious and ferocious appearances. Some have green faces and fangs, some have red hair with ghost horns, or their bodies are like molten lava. They are all the most terrifying appearances in the world.

Of course, there are also some ghosts who are the incarnations of all races in the Eternal Continent after death. Their appearance is the same as before life, but their whole bodies are also filled with a cold aura.

"The soul-locking and soul-hooking ghosts of the underworld's underworld specialize in bringing the recently deceased souls to judge the merits and demerits of their lives."

All kinds of information about the underworld collected by the Dayu Dynasty flashed through Zhou Mingxuan's mind, including information about ghosts.

"I didn't expect that all the ghosts at the lowest level of the Yin Division have third-level strength. According to the classification of ghost cultivators, they are in the Soul Sea realm. They are no different from my current strength."

Zhou Mingxuan had a fifth-level cultivation before his death and had already opened up the sea of ​​consciousness. Although he did not start to strengthen his soul like a sixth-level spiritual master, his soul strength was also extremely powerful.

Therefore, Zhou Mingxuan had just died and appeared in the underworld with the cultivation of a third-level ghost cultivator.

At this time, when the ghosts saw that the number of dead souls nearby reached the required number, the soul-locking chains flew out from their hands and tied up the souls of each of the dead souls.

"You follow us to Qingming City, where you will be judged by the judge.

Afterwards, whether you will enter the endless sea of ​​blood and be punished in purgatory for thousands of years, or whether you will accept the call of the land of reincarnation and go to reincarnation depends on your merits and karma. "

This soul-locking chain seems to have a natural suppressive effect on the dead souls. Zhou Mingxuan, who is in a different realm from ghosts, was instantly suppressed by the flying soul-locking chain and was tied up like a mortal.

The souls of those dead souls who were also martial arts masters were just like him. Before they could resist, they were caught by the ghosts and flew to Qingming City in the distance.

In Qingming City, an endless line of dead souls are queuing up to wait for the Judge of the Underworld to judge their deeds and sins during their lifetime. Every second, hundreds of souls are escorted from the land of underworld by teams of ghost messengers, and there are also some. Hundreds of dead souls completed the trial.

In the Netherworld Continent, there are hundreds of important Yinsi cities like Qingming City that control the power of judging dead souls, and each one has a Yinsi Mansion Lord sitting in charge.

On this day, a golden rainbow suddenly flew from the sky outside Qingming City. It ignored the many restrictions placed in the city and rushed directly into the mansion of the prince. This scene suddenly awakened countless strong ghost cultivators in the city.

"This is... the emperor's order!" The spiritual consciousness of these powerful men swept across the golden rainbow, and when they "saw" the order in the golden rainbow and the awe-inspiring aura above, their hearts suddenly shook.

This is clearly an order from Emperor Zhenwu, the ruler of Netherworld Continent and the strongest person in the underworld!

Just when the powerful ghost cultivators were wondering why the emperor would issue an order, an order came from the Qingming Mansion:

"The emperor has an order to confer Zhou Mingxuan, the Lord of Dayu, as the Ghost Emperor of Longyu in the South!"
