Chapter 877: Immortal Lord Becomes Immortal King
Leaving the Dream Path means officially embarking on the road to hell, and there is no turning back.
In order to ferry all the dead souls in the world, the Yellow Springs Road has nine major branches. Generally speaking, even if a huge disaster occurs and tens of millions of living souls pour in at the same time, there is no need to worry, as it can fully handle the situation.
But this catastrophe was too horrific. The Dao Emperor personally took part in the massacre, destroying hundreds of millions of lives, and becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The past is shrouded by the Three Lives Stone, and the muddy road to the Yellow Springs is filled with traces of souls.
The Naihe Bridge blocks the way to the next life, and the Wangchuan River carries those who will never return.
The underworld is filled with souls that have nowhere to go. Most of them are mutilated and confused, unable to remember their past and unable to recognize who they are.
If a broken soul wants to enter the six realms of reincarnation and be reborn, it needs to complete its soul, which takes a longer time.
The underworld was already in chaos, with sacred trees collapsing and withering, endless resentment and evil spirits out of control, countless evil ghosts and spirits escaping, and even the Blood Hell King gave up on the Blood Hell Abyss that was about to be built into the Eighteen Levels of Hell and was too busy running around.
The underworld is not much smaller than the human world, and the methods of those evil spirits are even more sinister and hidden. The Hades Emperor single-handedly resisted the pressure of the six reincarnations, and he really had no energy to be distracted. All the major and minor governing matters in the underworld were handed over to the three people: Hades Old Man, Bone Ancestor, and Blood Hell King.
However, as long as the evil spirits and ghosts are controlled within the scope of the underworld, they will eventually be captured and it will not be a big disaster.
What worries the top leaders of the underworld the most are these hundreds of millions of living souls and some reborn souls that have awakened their past memories. Those guys were all immortals, gods, demons, and even old monsters from eons ago. They all have certain identities and backgrounds, and are related to some big guys in heaven or the underworld, so they cannot be easily touched.
Now that the chaos has broken out, almost all the reborn and reincarnated souls have jumped out, and they have developed different thoughts, which is really a headache.
And at this chaotic time, a wisp of soul of the contemporary Taoist Master - Yuan Zun entered the underworld.
"Get away, get away!"
"I am the Unruly Immortal Venerable who is at the peak of the third level of the ancient world. I have no rivals in the ancient times. Who dares to stop me? Who dares to catch me!"
A slender evil spirit crossed several ghost towns and broke into the Yellow Springs Road where Li Yuan was walking. With a wave of his hand, he shook off thousands of living souls, dodged a team of ghost officials and rushed forward recklessly.
The soul of this self-proclaimed Immortal Lord without Justice had apparently just escaped from somewhere, or had just recovered his past memories. He could not accept that he was still in the underworld, so he took advantage of the chaos in the underworld to flee everywhere, trying to find a way to return to the human world or even to heaven.
The Yellow Springs Road was filled with souls marching in a daze. When the Immortal Master Wudao barged in, it was like hot oil splashing into cold water, instantly causing unrest in this area.
The team that arrested him were all ghost officers, holding weapons that could lock souls and calm spirits, and it was obvious that they were also afraid of this soul.
There were several times when they could use the underworld magic weapons that were specifically designed to kill souls to kill the soul, but they hesitated and stopped, as if they were concerned about the background of the Immortal Master Wudao.
It is not uncommon for some immortal souls who have been reborn to refuse to re-enter the mortal world and stay in the underworld for millions of years before being snatched away by some high-ranking bosses. These underworld immortals who are in charge of the matter dare not go to extremes.
It is said that the soul of this self-proclaimed Immortal Lord Wudao had an old relationship with the Four Lords of Heaven and had many merits. After he was reborn and died again, he remembered his past memories due to some unexpected circumstances. Naturally, he was unwilling to be at the mercy of the six realms of reincarnation and accept the so-called fate of reincarnation.
As the two were chasing and fleeing, the soul of the Immortal Wudao happened to rush towards the direction where Li Yuan was.
In fact, this was also the choice made by Wudao Immortal Venerable. He saw You Shiwu following behind Li Yuan, and there was a Netherworld Guide to escort him. Obviously, his status was prominent. If he was caught, the ghost officials behind him would be more cautious...
As for whether he could win or not, Immortal Wudao had never thought about it at all. He was a noble and top-notch powerful person!
Boom - bang!
Although Li Yuan's mind was confused and he had no ill will towards other living beings, he would not allow any existence to attack him. He reacted instinctively and slapped the soul of the Immortal Master Wudao into the mud of the Yellow Springs Road with one palm.
Beside him, You Shiwu's eyes flickered darkly: Sure enough, this lord seems to be only a wisp of soul left, but the source of the Tao fruit from his lifetime must still be there, and his power has not disappeared, it is just in an invisible and unknown place...
The Immortal Master Wudao plunged headfirst into the mud and was unable to get up for a long time. He lay on the ground motionless, his entire soul in a daze.
Those ghost officials who were chasing after him first showed a hint of joy, then looked at Li Yuan's face, frowned, and fell into confusion and contemplation.
You Shiwu was afraid that these ghost officials would offend Li Yuan, so he quickly took out the name list, stood behind Li Yuan, and pointed to the big word "Li Yuan" for the ghost officials to see.
The ghost officials were a little confused, and then as if they had thought of something, they all shook their bodies and quickly fell to the ground, not caring about the confused and bewildered looks of many living souls, and bowed respectfully and fearfully:
"We, the Netherworld Immortals, are here to greet Master Yuanzun~!"
Wudao Xianzun pulled his head out of the muddy land of the underworld. When he heard the ghost officials calling him, he became furious: "You bunch of dead ghosts, I am also a master, why don't you bow down..."
Perhaps one of the ghost officials knew Wudao Immortal Venerable and came to participate in the arrest, and he also wanted to save some face for Wudao Immortal Venerable. At this moment, his skull-like face was sweating profusely: "You... shut up quickly, this is the real Daoist Emperor, not the empty title you claim to be!"
At this time, Wudao Immortal Venerable seemed to have reacted, and recalled the palpitation he had just felt, just like the terrifying aura he had felt when he met the Emperor of Heaven from afar thousands of years ago...
Damn it, Dao Zun!
Didn’t the Taoist transcend the Three Realms system? Why did his residual soul after death also enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
No, a Daoist Emperor died?!
How chaotic is it outside? Will the world collapse? I feel that it is not as safe as the underworld. If I run back at all costs, I will not become a chess piece sacrificed by some big boss at will...
The Taoist Master actually wants to enter the reincarnation cycle. It feels like the underworld... is about to change...
On the way of escape, he ran into Dao Zun and was suppressed by a slap. Knowing that he had no hope of escaping to the human world, Wudao Xianzun rolled his eyes, jumped up from the ground with a somersault, and knelt down towards Li Yuan with a solemn and guilty face.
"My name is Wudao Immortal King. I was originally wandering around the underworld for fun, but I accidentally bumped into Senior Daozun. Oh~ I am so terrified and feel so guilty! You are so magnanimous, ..."
The Immortal Master Wudao looked at Li Yuan eagerly, while Li Yuan was in a daze and also looked at him blankly. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little frozen for a moment.
The sound of shackles suddenly rang out, and the ghost official who knew Wudao Xianzun tied his hands with chains, with a look of disgust on his face: "You old thing are such a coward, you have lived for several lifetimes and you don't even have the slightest shame! When you meet Lord Yuanzun, you don't even dare to call yourself a master? Don't you claim to be the invincible master of the ancient times?!"
Seeing that Li Yuan was stunned for a long time without any reaction, Wudao Xianzun also realized that this big man was not in a good state. He did not dare to say anything to Li Yuan, so he stood up quickly and angrily scolded the ghost:
"Shut up! You ignorant old ghost!"
"You can't just say something like 'Venerable' casually. Aren't you afraid of violating taboos and offending this handsome, spiritual, and bright-tempered Taoist senior? No matter what you think, I will be called the Immortal King Wudao from now on!"
"I will turn against anyone who dares to call me Wudao Xianzun in the future!"
