Chapter 165: The Underworld Takes Action, and the Soul Returns

Honghuang land.

Wherever the demon army passed, countless people died and wounded, and corpses were everywhere.

Their actions were so big this time that not only the human race, but also other races around were slaughtered. Many races were destroyed and completely disappeared in Honghuang.

Although the souls of the human race are the best materials for refining the Tuwu Sword, the souls of other races can also provide different degrees of bonuses.

Since they have already taken action, they don’t care about killing more lives, as long as they can practice the Tuwu Sword, destroy the twelve ancestors of witches, and gather the luck of Honghuang.

The karma generated by this killing, with the blessing of luck, will not take long to be completely eliminated, and even the cultivation can be improved, not to mention the status in Honghuang.

Some great powers will inevitably feel unbearable and compassionate when they see the scene of corpses everywhere and resentment.

Quietly protect the human race and other suffering races, hoping to leave them a trace of fire.

However, their actions angered the demon race.

The human race was protected by two saints, so they had to leave some blood.

But how could they leave troubles for other races that were attacked by them? How could they not know the principle of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

The final result was that these powerful people who chose to take action were all killed by the demon race's Daluo Jinxian.

Some of them were more skillful and could still retain a trace of their true spirit to escape, but as for the rest, they were all forcibly suppressed and would never be reborn.

Even the quasi-saint demon took action twice, suppressing several well-known Daluo Jinxians in the prehistoric world, killing chickens to scare monkeys, and setting an example.

For a time, the prehistoric powerful people were silent.

Except for a few quasi-saint powerful people who killed the three corpses and secretly protected the human race and friendly races, no other powerful people dared to help in the face of the demon race's anger.

As long as they are not too ostentatious and do not take the Heaven Court seriously, the powerful demons will ignore what these quasi-saints have done.

After tens of thousands of years of reproduction and growth, the human race is huge, with a population of trillions.

The human race that these powerfuls can protect is just a drop in the ocean. There is no need to offend the quasi-saints for such a small number of human races and other tribes with a smaller number.

What's more, the bottom line of the saints is that they must leave a fire seed for the human race. This face must be given. What these people did just solved this problem.

But in the twentieth year of the demons slaughtering the human race, the tribes where the human race lived in the prehistoric land and the tribes that were slaughtered by the demons all experienced huge changes.

I saw the rich innate yin and innate death rising from the earth, completely covering these tribes.

Then.

Every human race and other tribes that were slaughtered all raised a stone door, and a stone tablet stood next to it, with three big characters written on it in innate Taoist text -

Ghost Gate!

In fact, neither the stone gate nor the stone tablet is a physical object, but a projection of the Ghost Gate.

This is the function of the Five Directions Gathering Yin Array, which can project the Ghost Gate into these tribes.

The next moment.

There was a creaking sound, and the stone gate opened to the left and right, and a more concentrated Yin Qi poured out.

A large number of Yin messengers holding black iron chains walked out of the stone gate in an orderly manner.

These black iron chains, called Soul Binding Ropes, were made by Huang Long at the request of the Phoenix Clan, and each one is a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Since Huang Long promised Yuan Feng that he would do his best to help the Phoenix Clan alleviate or even solve the problem of the Undead Volcano, they were naturally eager to help Huang Long's request.

The Phoenix Clan is born to be able to control fire, and the Undead Volcano is full of high-level fire. For them, refining weapons is something they can master since birth.

Huang Long just handed the blueprint to Yuan Feng, without providing any materials, and in just over a thousand years, he created millions of Soul Binding Ropes.

As the magic power surged, the soul-binding rope emitted a faint black light, and countless wronged souls floating around the tribe came like a tide, including the souls of the human race.

Because Huang Long did it on purpose, the souls of the human race were more easily attracted and instinctively turned into soul lights, heading towards the soul-binding rope.

In the end, the ghost messenger ignored the powerful demons around him, locked the souls of the human race and other races with the soul-binding rope, and escorted them to the ghost gate to the underworld for trial.

At the same time.

When the yin energy of these tribes was pervasive, the five ghost gates of the five ghost emperor dojos of Taozhi Mountain, Dangzhong Mountain, Luofu Mountain, Luofeng Mountain and Baodui Mountain opened wide, bursting with powerful suction, attracting the surrounding ghosts.

As the doors of the five Yin Mountains opened wide, they echoed each other from a distance, forming a mysterious innate formation with Mount Tai as the center.

This formation is the Five Directions Gathering Yin Formation, which can not only project the Ghost Gate to various places in the prehistoric world, but also allow the ghost soldiers to arrive at the scene faster and perform their duties of arresting souls.

Not only that, when the formation is activated, the five ghost gates have a stronger suction force on souls, covering a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers, attracting ghosts into the netherworld.

At the same time, the projection of the Nether River emerges from the netherworld and appears in the prehistoric land, allowing nearby ghosts to actively jump into the Nether River, and under the guidance of the Asuras, enter the netherworld and go to the underworld for judgment.

In the center of this formation, the Nether River is the leader, the Five Directions Ghost Emperor is the assistant, and the five elements ghosts under his command, and the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers are in charge.

They are serious and murderous, ready for a big battle.

If any demon dares to destroy the formation, they will attack without hesitation.

Even if the opponent is the Heaven, Guixu and the Hell, they are not at all weak!

The Netherworld.

All the strong men of the Hell, led by Shenlong and Tubo, gathered in Fengdu City.

They held black soul-calling banners as formation flags, stood at designated positions, and used the power of the Hell to activate the Nine Hells Soul-binding Formation.

As the formation was in operation, a series of space portals around the Hell connected to the projection of the Ghost Gate, allowing the Ghost Gate to reach the Netherworld directly, shortening the time for the Yincha to detain souls and enter the Hell for trial.

Afterwards, they activated the formation together to enhance the power of the five Ghost Gates and the projection of the Nether River, attracting more souls to come.

Their main target is the human race, so the wronged souls of the human race are also affected the most.

Other underworld creatures in the Hell also stood at designated positions to further enhance the power of the formation and jointly assist in summoning souls.

Minghe, Tubo, Shenlong and the Five Ghost Emperors felt something in their hearts and said something difficult to understand.

"Soul is coming back——!"

At first, even a strong person like Minghe felt that it was quite difficult to pronounce this sentence.

But after reciting it once, it was as smooth as instinct to recite it again.

After hearing Minghe and other powerful people in the underworld recite this sentence, the other creatures in the underworld also felt something in their hearts and followed suit:

"Soul is coming back——!"

As more and more creatures recited this sentence, the sound gradually spread out of the underworld and into the prehistoric world.

The five Yin Mountains, Taishan Mountain, and the ghost generals and five elements spirit ghosts who came to the human world to capture souls were the first to react. They couldn't help but whispered:

"Soul is coming back——!"

Gradually, more and more creatures subconsciously recited this sentence.

"Souls are coming back!"

The dragon clan, the phoenix clan, the witch clan, and many other races in the prehistoric world said this.

In a short while, this sentence spread throughout the prehistoric world.

But the strange thing is that most of the creatures in the prehistoric world were whispering this sentence, but many creatures could not hear it at all, and even did not know what was said directly.

This is because this is not the language of any race in the prehistoric world, nor is it the language of the creatures in the netherworld.

This is a language that has never appeared in the prehistoric world. It is a kind of innate language that was born when the underworld sensed what the underworld did.

This sentence is difficult for ordinary creatures to hear, but it is very clear in the ears of ghosts, like a huge bell.

Especially those wronged souls who died with great resentment and became irrational, after hearing this sentence, their eyes became clear and their resentment dissipated a lot.

Seeing this situation, the powerful demons present could not sit still immediately. They spent so much time and paid such a great price.

If the souls of the human race were just washed away from their resentment, wouldn't they have worked in vain?

Moreover, these souls are the materials for refining the Tuwu Sword, how can they be taken away by the underworld?

After a brief moment of daze, the powerful demons used their magical powers to block the innate Dao language, and commanded their demon army to snatch people from the Yincha, Youhe and the five ghost gates.

They are indeed reluctant to be enemies with the underworld, but as long as I take it away before you take the soul, what can you do?

Your underworld is still in the underworld. Under the premise that Houtu and Huanglong do not take action, if you want to go against our demons in the prehistoric world, it is still a little bit of meaning.

But at this moment.

Under the gaze of countless powerful people, Huanglong flew out of Guixu and hovered over the East China Sea. With the help of the power of the tunnel, the underworld, the Five Directions Gathering Yin Array, and the Nine Nether Soul Binding Array, he calmly opened a black umbrella.

Endless evil spirits, yin spirits and death spirits rushed into the sky.

Under the sky, a boundless black umbrella cloth was formed, covering the entire prehistoric world.

At this moment, the prehistoric creatures looked up and saw no longer the sky, but a huge umbrella emitting a dark aura.

Countless innate runes were clearly visible, releasing a terrifying pressure.

Especially in the areas where Mount Tai, the five ghost gates, the ghost gate projections, and the ghost river projections were located, the living beings and ghosts could not raise their heads and knelt on the ground.

Finally, with the blessing of the great formation and the authority of the underground, Huang Long used the newly born innate Taoist text and whispered:

"After the death of the prehistoric creatures, their souls should return to the netherworld, and reincarnate after being judged by the underworld. This is the basis of the operation of the prehistoric world!"

"I sensed that a large number of prehistoric creatures died, but no souls entered the underworld. This time, all I did was to correct the wrong order!"

"Souls return-come!"

The next moment.

The black umbrella covering the vast land slowly turned, and wisps of black death energy fell. The terrifying pressure made the powerful demons unable to move at all, let alone interfere with the soul-binding in the underworld.

The five ghost gates and the projection of the Nether River were even more powerful, and more souls took the initiative to enter them.

At the same time, the wisps of death energy falling from the sky were also absorbing the souls floating between heaven and earth.

…

All these changes came too suddenly, which was in line with Huang Long's usual style.

Even if they had prepared for thousands of years in advance, once they made a move, it was a sure kill, making it difficult for people to react.

The demons were caught off guard.

Millions of human souls were either detained by the underworld by the ghost messengers, or took the initiative to enter the underworld under the attraction of the ghost gates, the Nether River and the death energy.

Under the suppression of the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella, the demon race had just reacted and responded, but now they could not move and could only watch the wronged souls of the human race enter the Netherworld.

Even the other great powers in the prehistoric world were stunned and shocked by the Netherworld's unexpected actions.

Most of the prehistoric world felt the power of the Netherworld and once again felt the fear of being dominated by Huang Long.

How the hell is this? The actions of the Heavenly Court were fast enough, but in the hands of Huang Long, they were pressed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Heavenly Court.

Di Jun's face was gloomy, Donghuang Taiyi remained silent, Kunpeng showed murderous intent, and the expressions of the demon clan's high-level officials were different, but they were not good-looking.

They had calculated everything, but they did not expect that Huang Long, who had nothing to do with the human race, would actually take action at this time to snatch these souls.

And there was such a legitimate reason, which made people completely unable to find fault.

Let the souls of the common people return to the netherworld, and after being judged by the netherworld, they will be reincarnated in the six reincarnation disks. Isn't this the authority of the netherworld?

Now the demons have killed people and want to intercept the souls of the human race. Isn't this touching the authority of the netherworld?

But...

The prehistoric world is so big that even if the human race is killed, it can't be considered too many souls...

At this critical juncture, Huang Long intervened like this, and they all wanted to send troops to attack the netherworld.

But they could only think about it in their hearts, and they didn't really issue an order to make this proposal.

They are not brainless and reckless men. There are two saints behind the netherworld, and the one who presided over this matter is still Saint Huang Long.

Now, before the two races of witches and liches have decided the winner, if they provoke the netherworld again, it will undoubtedly be a road to death.

Especially Huang Long, if possible, no one wants to be his enemy.

However, they made such a big noise and committed so many murders, aren't they just for the wronged souls of these human beings?

If they let go at this time, not only would it be a waste of effort, but they would also add a lot of karma to themselves, which would probably become a foreshadowing of the future war with the witch clan.

After weighing it, Di Jun finally condensed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a deep voice:

"Open the Zhoutian Star Array, and suppress the passage of the Netherworld, the five ghost gates, and the projection of the Nether River with all his strength to reduce their power."

"Relieve the suppression of the black umbrella, and order the remaining Daluo Jinxian to participate in the action, and snatch as many human souls as possible."

"In the prehistoric world, their manpower cannot compare with ours!"

For various reasons, Di Jun did not intend to fight the Netherworld to the end, but he also could not sit and wait for death. He did not seek to take back all the human souls now, but only to reduce the losses.

He must refine the Tuwu Sword!
