Chapter 489 - 488: Ninth Grade Judge of the Underworld

Chapter 489: Chapter 488: Ninth Grade Judge of the Underworld

"Persistent as ever, isn’t it annoying..."

Ye Xuan licked his lips, showing impatience for the first time.

And this time, it wasn’t a Netherworld Guide who had come but a real Underworld character.

A true Underworld character, vastly different from a Netherworld Guide.

Firstly, they were completely of the Underworld, with no physical body.

One could say that they were not of the same world as those of the mortal realm.

There shouldn’t be any connection at all.

They shouldn’t be able to come to the mortal world.

But this time was different, the person from the Underworld had come.

And they had quite the presence.

Taking advantage of the death of twenty Netherworld Guides, and considering that the Emperor Immortal Sect had become a Half-Yin World, steering the Ghost Gate, they appeared directly in the Emperor Immortal Sect.

Were they trying to turn the Emperor Immortal Sect completely into the Underworld?

Digging one’s own grave, they’re really looking for death.

Ye Xuan looked at the Qingming Tripod that was constantly rotating, maintaining the Seven Star Life Extension Lamp, then raised his head to look at the sky and muttered to himself,

"You say life is borrowed from the heavens, but why are the folks from the Underworld reacting so intensely?"

"They say that the Netherworld Guides are the dogs of the Underworld."

"Then, the people of the Underworld are probably the dogs of the heavens, right?"

Ye Xuan’s lips suddenly curled up into a smile, speaking calmly and slowly, "I still believe that the old Heavenly Father wouldn’t be so petty, it’s you group of Underworld fellows who are petty."

"You worship so-called Heavenly Dao and Reincarnation, just to strengthen your Underworld."

"You can grow strong if you want, but if you harm my people, that makes me quite unhappy."

Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted downward, pausing on that so-called ’Ghost Gate,’ his eyes seeming to penetrate the darkness, entering the depths of the Ghost Gate!

Hum————

At that moment, within the depths of the ’Ghost Gate,’ a pair of crimson eyes opened, devoid of any emotion, utterly cold.

As if the owner of these eyes was not human at all!

But a monster.

Those crimson eyes overlooked the entire Emperor Immortal Sect, their gaze falling on Li Kuangtu, and they also saw the heads of the Netherworld Guides at Li Kuangtu’s feet.

Li Kuangtu’s face suddenly contorted with extreme ferocity, blood flowing from his seven orifices!

"I open the Divine Gate..." Li Kuangtu gritted his teeth, wanting to use that move again.

However, before he could finish speaking, an even more terrifying force pressed down upon him.

Boom!

Li Kuangtu felt as if his bones were coming apart.

Atop Emperor Peak.

Zhou Zihuang clenched his fists tightly beneath his robe sleeves, a terrifying aura circulating around him without rest.

The Divine Sword behind Zhou Zihuang emitted a clear ringing sound, even opening up a realm in the Half-Yin World.

A sword light shot up into the sky!

"Zihuang!" Mu Baicheng’s face changed slightly.

Zhou Zihuang narrowed his eyes slightly, resisting the urge to strike.

"To kill the people of the Underworld is a capital offense."

"The War Demon Inheritor is the capital offense of capital offenses."

"Your death is imminent."

A cold and hoarse voice rang out, like a fierce ghost speaking.

These words were naturally directed at Li Kuangtu.

How domineering!

How arrogant!

It was clear that the deaths of the Netherworld Guides had upset the denizens of the Underworld, so much so that they had shown up in person.

In fact, this was a rule set after the incident with War Demon Hong Yuan years ago.

If more than ten Netherworld Guides perished, the Underworld characters would intervene.

Otherwise, the death of more Netherworld Guides would also be a great loss for the Underworld.

It had been so many years since so many Netherworld Guides had died.

This incident had angered the characters of the Underworld.

They came riding the Ghost Gate.

Their goal was to take Li Kuangtu’s life.

And incidentally, to take away Lv Tiangang, Cao Jianchun, and Zhou Chaolong as well.

And the person who extended their life.

But no.

This loss wasn’t enough to be compensated for merely by these measures.

This Sect had no reason to exist any longer!

Thinking this, the mysterious existence within the Ghost Gate cast its gaze towards Zhou Zihuang, speaking unhurriedly, "Knowing that the Netherworld Guides represent the acts of the Underworld and the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, yet daring to indulge your Disciple to kill Netherworld Guides, this is a major crime."

"Let’s use the lifespans of the eleven thousand people of your Sect to make up for it!"

This voice immediately caused everyone in the Emperor Immortal Sect to be filled with trepidation.

Even the three old undying beings from the Immortal King Hall chose to remain dormant at this moment, not getting involved.

"Shut up."

However, just as the voice finished speaking, an even colder voice arose.

It came from atop Cang Mountain.

It carried an indubitable authority.

The mysterious existence within the Ghost Gate seemed stunned by this voice for a moment, its gaze shifted lightly, looking towards Cang Mountain, where Ye Xuan was seated on the Heavenly Thunder Stone, and its crimson eyes narrowed slightly.

"Are you the one who used the Life Extension Technique, the mastermind, unworthy of the life you cling to!"

Boom!

A terrifying force burst forth.

And then...

There was no then.

"Hmm? What’s going on?!" The mysterious entity was instantly taken aback.

The power he had used had completely vanished just at that moment.

It was as if there was some strange existence in this place that completely suppressed his power.

"A mere Ninth Grade Judge daring to yell in front of me, Ye Xuan?" Ye Xuan’s voice was cool and detached, utterly indifferent.

"What?!"

The mysterious existence was even more shocked.

This youth, he actually knew of his status in the Underworld?!

Who was this guy?!

For a moment, the Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld grew solemn.

"My life, Ye Xuan’s life, why don’t you go back and ask the Ten Halls Yama, and see who dares to come for it?" Ye Xuan continued to speak.

"Daring to disrespect the Ten Halls Yama, you’re courting death!"

However, Ye Xuan’s words only made the Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld burst into fury once again, as he attempted to strike.

Yet, it was still to no avail.

His power couldn’t even get past the Ghost Gate.

Or rather.

The moment it left the Ghost Gate, it completely vanished!

"Now, let’s see who is courting death," said Ye Xuan, his eyes opening and closing.

The next moment.

Behind Ye Xuan, a colossal void shadow, as if billions of feet tall, seemingly emerged out of nowhere, looming over All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds!

The so-called Half-Yin World.

The so-called Ghost Gate.

In front of that shadow, were as insignificant as rubble.

At that moment.

The Ninth Grade Judge within the Ghost Gate knelt down in fright.

He knelt on the ground, trembling and didn’t dare to utter a word.

The shadow only appeared for an instant before vanishing, seen only by the Ninth Grade Judge within the Ghost Gate.

As for Zhou Zihuang and others, they didn’t even feel anything.

But the three old Undyings from the Immortal King Hall were suddenly roused at that moment.

They felt as if their hearts were clogged, as if they had laid eyes on the most terrible monster in the world.

It was frightening.

Too terrifying!

"Now, do you still want my life?" Ye Xuan asked faintly.

"The lowly one dares not," the Ninth Grade Judge completely cowered.

"Scram!"

Ye Xuan commanded dispassionately.

The Ninth Grade Judge didn’t even dare to fart before scurrying away disgracefully.

The Ghost Gate vanished, and with it, much of the Half-Yin World dissipated.

But because the Life Extension Technique was still ongoing, it didn’t completely fade away.

However, the ghastly chill was carried away at that moment.

Zhou Zihuang and Mu Baicheng exchanged glances, both detecting the shock in each other’s eyes.

What just happened?

Before they could react, the Ninth Grade Judge had already disappeared.

Too weird.

"A Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld..." Zhou Zihuang muttered to himself.

He made a mental note to question Ye Xuan about all this once the Life Extension Technique was complete.

Moreover, why did that Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld suddenly become so submissive?

What was it that Ye Xuan told him to look at?

Why was the Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld so different from before?

It was unimaginable.

If that Ninth Grade Judge from the Underworld knew Zhou Zihuang’s thoughts, he would curse loudly.

Did you have any idea just how terrifying the Emperor’s Might in that shadow was?

He had only ever felt such Emperor’s Might coming from the Ten Halls Yama themselves!

How could a mere Ninth Grade Judge like him dare to provoke such an existence?!

Wouldn’t that be inviting trouble for the Underworld?

You see, such beings were long beyond their jurisdiction.

To meddle was to seek death!

Without question, there would be no exceptions!

He was just a small Ninth Grade Judge, he didn’t want to offend such a person.

Retreating quietly was the right move.

As for extending life...

Heaven itself would handle that, no need for him to worry.
