99: Chapter 98 Sweeping Through the Underworld, the Ghost King of Yin Mountain

Lin Lei threw a punch that obliterated several vicious ghosts. His Blood Qi surged to the heavens, and his Physical Body's strength was completely unleashed. The number of these outer peripheral minor demons was extremely large, utterly fearless, and they rushed forward like madmen to tear and bite.

Lin Lei directly condensed Light Elements, causing a white, incomparably sacred glow to light up on his body.

"Divine Light Radiance!"

In an instant, Lin Lei resembled a giant sun, directly purifying the surrounding ghostly entities and evil spirits.

Duyuan raised his hand and directly chanted the Six-Syllable Great Brightness Mantra.

"Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!"

When the six characters escaped his lips, they were no longer the gentle Buddhist chants of delivering and saving souls.

Instead, they carried a murderous Sanskrit sound that suppressed all demons and evil.

Golden Buddhist patterns instantly covered the entire mountain forest, and the physical bodies of all approaching shady and evil demons immediately began to crack.

The black mist and Yin Qi dissolved directly upon meeting the Buddhist chants, and any minor demons with low cultivation exploded into flying ash on the spot.

The remaining few transformed evil demons charged over desperately, wanting to engage in close-quarters combat.

Duyuan's gaze was ice-cold as he formed a seal with one hand. "Arhat Heaven-Overturning Seal!"

A sixteen-foot-tall golden Arhat Dharma Form emerged from behind him, its palm resembling a mountain as it slammed down with a boom.

A deafening roar shook the heavens, causing the ground of the entire mountain forest to directly collapse as soil and rocks flew everywhere.

Several demonic entities at the Nascent Soul strength blocking the front were all crushed to death by Duyuan. The entire process was clean and neat, without a trace of hesitation.

The audience in the livestream room was completely dumbfounded.

[Holy crap! This is what a furious Buddhist Vajra looks like!]

[In the past, Duyuan chanted Amitabha every day; I really thought he only knew how to chant scriptures!]

[To the person above, you didn't mention a single word about Master Duyuan's performance at the Grand Ritual of Luotian!]

[The Grand Ritual of Luotian? It seems Duyuan only used the Golden Body and Arhat Heaven-Overturning Seal, right? The rest was just swinging fists!]

[Killing demons with the Six-Syllable Mantra and crushing hordes of monsters with the Arhat Seal—this monk has hidden himself way too deeply!]

[And what about Lin Lei's magic Martial Skill? Is this the Light Element?]

[That's right: Wind God Dance, Thunder God Guidance, Fire God Wrath, Earth God Slaughter, and this one is Divine Light Radiance. He hasn't used the Dark Element, Water Element, and Life Element Divine Abilities yet.]

[To the person above, you remember things in such detail.]

[Because I am also a dual Cultivator of magic and martial arts, and Lin Lei is my goal.]

Sitting in front of the camera, Master Kongming's mouth twitched wildly, leaving him completely speechless.

Having cultivated Buddhism for a lifetime, he had never seen his own disciple act so wildly. Could it be that after entering the National Destiny Space, he let go of himself?

With the remaining enemies in the mountain forest cleared out, the four continued to push forward. Venturing three miles deep into the back mountain, a large array of black mist shrouded the valley.

This was Pudu Cihang's first core outer nest, hiding hundreds of poisonous demons and Yin Sha practicing for over a century, guarded by several Foundation Establishment and Golden Core level demonic generals.

Black mist surged, and Demonic Qi soared into the sky. Several icy-figured demonic generals rushed out directly, their Evil Qi locking onto the four people.

"Daring to trespass into Lord Pudu's territory, you're courting death!"

The leading poisonous scorpion demonic general opened its mouth to spew a sky-full of toxic mist that corroded vegetation, rotting everything it touched.

"Let me handle this!" Lin Lei stepped forward, taking the lead directly at the front.

Blood Qi surrounded his body, dodging nothing and standing firm against the sky-full of toxic mist. His double fists blasted out in succession, and the huge shockwave directly tore the toxic mist apart.

Seeing this, the demonic generals split up to flank them, attempting a sneak attack on the flanks.

Lin Lei still had a Move unused, and such a great practice opportunity could not be missed.

In an instant, Lin Lei was surrounded by black light, and countless Dark Elements converged.

"Dark God Devour!"

Instantly, centered around Lin Lei, a Dark Domain unfolded, swallowing the enemy's spells and Demonic Qi, and devouring the opponents' True Qi and Physical Body strength.

All the monsters were devoured clean in an instant.

Within just a few breaths, all the guarding evil demons in the valley were completely cleared out. Duyuan glanced around, his Buddha Eyes crystal clear, seeing through the remaining Demonic Qi deep underground.

"The outer nest has been cleared. Ahead is the true demonic mountain where Pudu Cihang is hiding."

"This centipede spirit has lurked in the imperial court and is not weak in strength. Next, it will be a hard battle."

Lin Lei clenched his fist, Blood Qi and elements surging: "No matter how strong it is, I will bear the brunt from the front."

Yan Chixia gripped his Demon-Slaying Sword tightly, full of Battle Intent: "False Buddha monstrosity, you must be executed today."

Bai Yuekui's expression was indifferent: "I will follow you in front-line containment."

Duyuan's eyes were solemn, the Killing Intent around his body reaching its peak.

"Strike straight into the demon nest and slay Pudu Cihang!"

The four of them did not stop their steps, heading straight to slaughter towards the peak of the mountain where the black mist was thickest.

In another camera angle, at this moment in the Underworld—

Ye Qingxuan stood alone on the earth of the Underworld, as endless Yin winds and ghost qi wildly swept across all directions.

Countless fierce ghosts, ferocious fiends, and remnants of ghost kings throughout the entire Underworld all sensed the aura of a person coming from the mortal world.

Icy, greedy, and ferocious gazes locked onto Ye Qingxuan from the dark abyss, the walls of the City of Wrongful Death, and the depths of Black Mountain.

The icy laughter of the Black Mountain Old Demon was the first to resound through the entire Underworld heaven and earth.

"Mere mortal Cultivator, how dare you trespass into my Underworld territory alone... You are truly courting death!"

The Black Mountain Old Demon sat squarely on a huge bone king throne, surrounded by ghost clouds. His Early Stage Void Realm coercion spread out, shocking the surrounding ghostly entities into bowing their heads one after another.

As early as the moment Ye Qingxuan tore open the Yin and Yang rift and stepped into the Underworld, he had already sensed this aura of a living mortal.

He looked at Ye Qingxuan walking slowly over, his face full of mockery and extreme arrogance.

"Hahaha! Nowadays, mortal Cultivators have withered away; for five hundred years, no one has dared to set foot in the Underworld!"

"You, a mere mortal Cultivator, actually dare to break into my Black Mountain territory alone?"

"This seat commands tens of thousands of ghost soldiers of Black Mountain and governs a region of the nether soil! Are you, this ant, here to throw away your life?"

The Black Mountain Old Demon burst into wild laughter, his attitude arrogant to the extreme.

In his cognition, the mortal Realm's highest cultivation was at most Soul Transformation, and his own Void Realm strength already made him a powerhouse overlooking a region.

He could never have imagined that the Ye Qingxuan before him was at the Late Stage Void Realm. In the Void Realm, the combat power gap for every minor Realm was several times greater or more.

In Ye Qingxuan's eyes, the Black Mountain Old Demon was just a slightly larger ant.

Ye Qingxuan's expression was indifferent, too lazy to waste half a sentence talking nonsense with him.

He raised his finger and pointed.

"Immortal-Slaying Finger."

As the point fell, a cyan finger print arrived instantly, its speed surpassing time itself.

The wild laughter on the Black Mountain Old Demon's face had not yet subsided when his pupils suddenly constricted, and the greatest fear of his life arose deep in his heart.

He wanted to stimulate Ghost Qi to defend, wanted to flee, and wanted to mobilize ghost soldiers to block.

Yet under the absolute suppression of strength, everything was in vain. Puff! The finger print instantly pierced through the ghost body, shattered the ghost pill, and annihilated the remnant soul.

With a loud boom!

The Black Mountain Old Demon's massive ghost body directly exploded and shattered, turning into flying ash on the spot, leaving a huge black mountain in its place.

This was deliberately left behind by Ye Qingxuan. No matter how weak this old demon was, he was still at the Void Realm level, and his Physical Body was a good material for Artifact Refining.

The tens of thousands of Black Mountain ghost soldiers present instantly fell into a dead silence. All the ghostly entities froze on the spot, trembling with fear, not daring to Move a single fraction of an inch.

At this moment, the entire Blue Star's online livestream room went completely wild.

[Holy crap! That's it? Without saying many words, he directly insta-killed him?]

[An Early Stage Void Realm is really like paper in front of a Middle Stage Void Realm! The gap is too ridiculous!]

[The Black Mountain Old Demon is an ordinary Early Stage Void Realm, but Daoist Ye is no ordinary Middle Stage Void Realm. The gap is simply too huge.]

[The Black Mountain Old Demon was still extremely arrogant just now, and the next second he was simply gone Hhahahaha!]

[Daoist Ye really couldn't be bothered to put on airs; he didn't give the opponent any chance to act cool at all!]

[I was worried about the danger of the Underworld before, but now it seems that the Underworld is not worthy of Daoist Ye!]

Inside the CCTV Livestream room.

Celestial Master Zhang shook his head with a bitter smile: "This is the gap between minor Realms of the Void Realm; it's a difference as vast as heaven and earth."

Master Yuanxin spoke:

"This Black Mountain Old Demon, just like that tree demon, has moisture in his cultivation. He can be said to be the weakest Void Realm. With the absolute gap in cultivation, plus Qingxuan's Divine Ability, it's no surprise he was annihilated with a single finger."

Abbot Kongming was still shocked by his disciple's changes.

The National Destiny Space Underworld Battlefield.

Ye Qingxuan's gaze swept across the densely packed tens of thousands of ghost soldiers, fierce ghosts, and Yin Sha remnant souls across the field.

These were all the shady and evil forces accumulated by the Black Mountain Old Demon over hundreds of years, entrenched here to harm living creatures and disrupt Yin and Yang.

Ye Qingxuan flipped his hand casually, and the golden human emperor banner floated in mid-air.

The banner unfurled, instantly enveloping the entire Black Mountain and crushing down, specifically restraining all shady and evil ghostly entities under heaven.

"Ghostly entities that do not know the Mandate of Heaven, get into my human emperor banner!"

The human emperor banner suddenly extended countless chains.

The sky-full of black mist, Yin wind, Evil Qi, and those tens of thousands of trembling ghost soldiers and fierce ghosts had no ability to resist whatsoever, and were all pulled up into the air.

The densely packed ghostly souls and ghost bodies poured into the human emperor banner like flowing water.

Whether it was a century-old fierce ghost or a thousand-year Yin Sha, not a single one was omitted.

Within just a few breaths, the large depths of Black Mountain were completely clean, leaving not a single ghostly entity behind.

The black mist dissipated, and the Yin wind ceased.

Ye Qingxuan casually put away Black Mountain, raised his hand with a surge of magic power, and the human emperor banner began to refine them.

Golden light flowed inside the human emperor banner, crazily tempering and obliterating the shady, evil, and violent aura.

Keeping the strong ones, the weak ones were directly refined into pure Yin Qi and Origin spiritual power, beginning to feed back into Ye Qingxuan himself.

The originally turbid and violent earth Qi of Black Mountain was instantly purged by more than half, becoming orderly and peaceful.

The livestream barrage flooded the screen once again.

[Holy crap! The human emperor banner directly collects in a group! There's no reasoning with this!]

[Tens of thousands of ghost soldiers were all swallowed directly? This Magic Treasure is too perverted!]

[Don't you guys forget the predecessor of this human emperor banner...]

[I will never forget that human emperor banner exuding black qi.]

[Don't talk nonsense; that is the Human Sovereign's Purple Qi, it's just purple to the point of turning black.]

[Other people exhaust themselves fighting ghosts, while Daoist Ye directly harvests and refines them in batches!]

[This efficiency of cleaning up the Underworld is simply a dimensional reduction strike!]

[Now Black Mountain is completely clean, not even a single ghost hair is left!]

Ye Qingxuan put away the human emperor banner, his expression still calm and ripplenseess.

The root of disaster that was Black Mountain was thoroughly eradicated. Having resolved things here, he raised his gaze to look deeper into the Underworld.

For hundreds of years without immortals and gods suppressing it, the Underworld had fallen into complete chaos. More than a dozen ghost kings with Void Realm strength each occupied mountains and split territories, dominating a region.

Dragging any random one out would be a ruthless character capable of crushing the mortal world.

But Chinese netizens were already used to Ye Qingxuan's outrageous operations, their mental states extremely stable as they quietly watched the livestream.

As soon as they stepped into the territory of the City of Wrongful Death, two pitch-black streams of Ghost Qi soared into the sky.

The Weeping Blood Ghost King looked down from above and roared coldly: "A mere mortal Cultivator dares to trespass into the territory of my City of Wrongful Death. You're courting death!"

Beside him, the Soul-Locking Yama held a chain, his Evil Qi towering: "Submit and capture yourself, transform into Soul Power, and I will spare your Divine Soul from destruction!"

Without another word, the two ghost kings directly urged their lethal Moves, turning thousands of grievance souls into a giant soul-devouring wave that crushed over.

Looking at the two ghost kings, Ye Qingxuan saw they were both Middle Stage Void Realm, but far too weak. He couldn't be bothered to talk to them at all, raising his hand to deploy the Immortal-Slaying Finger.

Two streaks of cyan light instantly pierced through the void, and two loud explosions detonated. The two ghost kings who had run rampant in the Underworld for thousands of years didn't even have time to issue a scream before shattering directly into black mist and being completely annihilated.

With a wave of the human emperor banner, all the grievance souls and Evil Qi of the entire city were collected and refined clean on the spot.

Chinese barrage flooded the screen with calm composure.

[Act the most aggressive, take the most shattered beatings.]

[Routine operation, we've already grown completely numb to it.]

At this time, foreign netizens lurking in the livestream room grew sour en masse.

The remnants of destroyed Japan, the sticks, and the Indians jumped out frantically to provoke them, along with lurking netizens from the United States, Britain, and France mocking them incessantly.

[Baka! The Underworld ghost kings are just an undeserved reputation!]

[Ashiba! It's purely opportunistic!]

[The Chinese contestant only knows how to launch sneak attacks; he's completely useless in a frontal fight!]

[Just luck, he'll overturn sooner or later!]

Domestic netizens directly talked back, red barrage instantly slaughtering the screen.

[A bunch of stray dogs plus wilderness survival contestants dare to chirp?]

[Look at your Chosen Ones, still hiding from beasts and chewing tree bark!]

[Instead of having the time to be sour, you'd better pray more that your Chosen Ones don't drop dead abruptly.]

Foreign barrage instantly fell silent collectively, never daring to make a sound again.

National Destiny Space——

Ye Qingxuan continued to push forward.

Deep within the River of Styx, the Canglan Water Ghost Emperor broke through the water and roared sternly: "Daring to step into my River of Styx waters, today I will definitely leave you without a whole corpse!"

The Fuyuan Ghost King followed closely behind, a sky-full of toxic mist corroding heaven and earth, frantically surrounding and suppressing him.

Ye Qingxuan was already too lazy to listen to the nonsense of these ghost kings.

Without waiting for the opponent's Moves to land, it was another clean and neat Immortal-Slaying Finger.

Cyan light flashed, and the two ghost kings instantly turned to flying ash. The shady and toxic Evil Qi accumulated over a century in the entire River of Styx was completely cleared out by the human emperor banner.

From this moment on, Ye Qingxuan completely lost his patience.

All subsequent blocking ghost kings, the moment they appeared or brewed their Moves, didn't even have the chance to open their mouths.

In the Ninefold Nether Purgatory, the Fenyu Ghost King and Hanyu Ice Demon both rushed out together, but before they could trigger their ice and fire ghost arts, they were directly insta-killed with a single finger.

The Withered Bone Ghost King of Desolate Grave Ridge, the Soul-Burrying Old Freak who launched underground sneak attacks, the Night-Wandering Ghost General patrolling the border, and the Sha-Swallowing Ghost King.

All uniformly possessed Early and Middle Stage Void Realm strength, each of them an overlord of a region in the Underworld.

Yet in front of Ye Qingxuan, there was no difference at all.

Appearance meant an insta-kill, blocking meant annihilation.

He currently only used the first two forms of the Four Immortal-Slaying Styles. The Immortal-Slaying Finger consumed the least, and was completely sufficient to clean up these small fries; there was no need to use stronger Divine Abilities at all.

Walking all the way, killing all the way, leveling everything flat all the way.

No stalemate, no dialogue, no redundant actions.

In just a short while, all the small and medium ghost kings who had carved out territories and proclaimed themselves kings in the Underworld were completely slaughtered by Ye Qingxuan alone.

The depths of the Underworld, which had been plagued by riots for five hundred years, completely recovered their peace for the first time in hundreds of years.

On the commentary podium, Celestial Master Zhang, Master Yuanxin, and Abbot Kongming all had calm expressions.

They had long been clear that Ye Qingxuan's Dao foundation was peerless through the ages, invincible among peers. Killing enemies across Realms was never a miracle for him, but merely the norm.

There was no longer a single mischievous ghost causing trouble across the entire Underworld.

At the end of heaven and earth, the eternal Yinshan shook wildly, and the sky-full of black mist shrouded all directions.

An aura far surpassing all ghost kings, heavy enough to suffocate the entire Underworld, slowly awakened.

The true Supreme of the Underworld, the Yinshan Ghost King, was finally about to make an appearance.

Ye Qingxuan took a step forward, walking straight towards the direction of Yinshan. The true end-game battle of the Underworld was about to begin.
