After all, in the history of the underworld, most of the time it was relatively peaceful, unlike the various disputes in the human world, and there was nowhere to learn these things. So he was stunned by what they said one by one.
During this process, Shi Hao and Yun Caiyao further confirmed that it was almost impossible to rely on the resistance forces within the underworld to fight against Emperor Yama.
One of the reasons why the underworld has been able to maintain peace in general for more than two thousand years is that the original King Yama is immortal and can be said to be the only "god" in the underworld.
On the other hand, it is also because the various rules in the underworld are almost all fixed.
The living souls entering the underworld must first cross the River of Forgetfulness, which is equivalent to a group of brainwashed babies.
Although the Earth Ghost Clan is a ghost official, they are actually forbidden to practice, and the only Earth Demon Mysterious Art that can be practiced is also listed as a forbidden art. Practicing the Earth Demon Mysterious Art privately is a serious crime in the underworld.
This means that no one can shake King Yama's position.
On the other hand, if a first-class demon of the underworld killed King Yama and took away the Yama Seal, his position would be almost equally unshakable.
The eight prison lords and the large number of ghost heroes who surrendered to Emperor Yama were all beneficiaries of the collapse of the original order. They did not want to return to the original order at all.
Of course, King Yama represents the old order that has long been rigid and corrupt, while the Underworld Demon and the Eight Prison Lords are the oppressors under the new order.
Where there is oppression there is resistance. People like Gu Long and the Lost Ghost don’t actually want to go back to the old times, but the brutal suppression of the lower classes by the Nether Demon and the Eight Prison Lords forces them to stand up and resist.
But in this world, strength is ultimately what matters.
The underworld demon controls the underworld, holds the Ghost Gate and the eight hells, and "creates" troops in a systematic manner.
They can only hide in the dark and quietly win over and rescue the rebels who are dissatisfied with the Underworld Demon.
For them, they can only hope that the human world has enough power to kill the devil and prevent him from returning to the underworld.
In this situation, Gu Long's full support and going to the Shura Field to investigate the details of the Dark Demon became the only option.
Gu Long brought his men, together with Shi Hao, Ming Yueshu, Yun Caiyao and others, and quietly approached the Shura Field.
On the way, we walked in a dark tunnel.
Yun Caiyao said: "Let me sort out the origin of the underworld demon. More than a thousand years ago, the King of Chu led 100,000 underworld soldiers to cause chaos in the underworld. He was invincible and almost overthrew the entire underworld.
"Until they fell into a trap and were led into the Shura Field. At the same time, the previous generation of Princess Kongming took the Ksitigarbha Pearl from the 'other shore' and completely defeated the King of Chu. Although the King of Chu and his men were killed, the evil spirit still lingered in the Shura Field. After that, the Shura Field was basically abandoned.
“Five hundred years ago, Ming Mo was just a criminal ghost from the ghost clan. He secretly practiced the mysterious skills of the demons and committed many evil things in the underworld. He was hunted down by the underworld. With nowhere to escape, he was forced to flee to the Shura Field.
"Three hundred years ago, when the Nether Demon reappeared, he had already absorbed the boundless evil energy left by King Chu in the Shura Field, and led many evil spirits in the Shura Field to kill the underworld. At the same time, he also obtained a kind of heaven-killing evil energy, even the immortal body of King Yama was broken by him?"
Gu Long said: "It is indeed like this!"
Yun Caiyao said: "The previous generation of Princess Kong Ming once defeated the King of Chu with the Ksitigarbha Pearl. Since the Nether Demon became stronger by absorbing the evil energy of the King of Chu, the Ksitigarbha Pearl should also be able to defeat the Nether Demon. Why was the previous generation of Princess Kong Ming also killed by the Nether Demon?"
Gu Long said: "I am not too sure about this, but I think it is also related to the Heaven-Slaying Evil Spirit."
Yun Caiyao turned to look at Shi Hao. Shi Hao said: "The Charm Emperor defeated the Dark Demon twice in Kunlun Fairy Mountain and Daxing City. During this process, the power used by the Dark Demon was not beyond her comprehension.
"Only when I defeated the Dark Demon for the second time, although I severely injured him and even knocked out the Hades Seal in his body along with his heart, the flesh and blood fused with the Hades Seal possessed an unknown mysterious power. That power was extremely evil, strange and inexplicable, and difficult to understand. I wonder if it was the Heaven-Slaying Evil Spirit?"
Yun Caiyao said: "But he did not use this kind of evil spirit when he fought against the Charm Emperor. So can we assume that his real power actually comes from the boundless evil spirit after the death of King Chu, and it is just this kind of evil spirit that gives him the means to deal with the King of Hell Seal and the Ksitigarbha Pearl?"
Sha Ling fanned and smiled, "And this Heaven-Slaying Evil Spirit has nothing to do with King Chu. Otherwise, King Chu wouldn't have been killed by the Earth-Tsang Pearl?"
Yun Caiyao nodded: "Although King Yama is the Lord of Hell, I heard that he was originally a famous civil official during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period. He was canonized by the 'Heavenly Court' and obtained the Yama Seal, and then became the Lord of a world. In terms of real power, he is actually not stronger than the Overlord of Chu, not to mention the Charm Emperor who has reached the peak of human body.
"So if the Nether Demon had broken the immortality that the Hades Seal had given him, he would have been able to kill him. 'Princess Kongming' is actually also a god of this kind, so once she is restrained, she would be helpless. On the contrary, it was the Charm Emperor who, with his own powerful strength and almost supernatural means, truly broke the immortality that the Hades Seal had given the Nether Demon. That was truly remarkable."
At this point, she paused and continued, "So what we really want to investigate is not the secret of the Nether Demon, but the true origin of this 'Heaven-Slaying Evil Qi'. As for the Nether Demon, it is not even as good as the Overlord of Chu. It is only with the power left by the Overlord of Chu and this strange Heaven-Slaying Evil Qi that it can overthrow the underworld and bring disaster to the human world."
The Lost Ghost muttered, "What do you mean, not as good as the Overlord of Chu? In our eyes, the Overlord of Chu is already incredibly powerful, right? It's because you have the Emperor of Charm and Fairy Shengxuan as your backers that you dare to say such big words. Not as good as the Overlord of Chu? Haha... still?"
Yun Caiyao shook his head and said, "The King of Chu was only invincible in terms of strength, and he also had some strengths in local tactics. But he was stubborn and self-willed, and it was difficult to use people. He also didn't have many strengths in grand strategy, so he was no match for the combined forces of Zhang Liuhou and Huaiyinhou during his lifetime.
"Although it is not right to say so, in the evaluation of Taisu Xian Pavilion, he is not as good as Lie Zunyi. If he was really that powerful, he would not have been ambushed from all sides during his lifetime, committed suicide by slashing his throat at Wujiang River, and caused a great disturbance in the underworld after his death, but he still turned to ashes.
"However, compared to the former King of Chu, this Nether Demon has the King of Hell Seal and the Heaven-Slaying Evil Qi, as well as the Agu Soldiers that can be produced almost endlessly, so it is more difficult to deal with!"
They sneaked all the way to Shura Field. There were originally three divine barriers outside Shura Field, making it difficult for the many evil spirits trapped in Shura Field to escape.
Today, the Three-Heaven Divine Barrier has been defeated by the evil spirit of the underworld demon that escaped three hundred years ago.
At this time, Shi Hao and others could still see the remains of the Three-Painted Divine Barrier.
From the broken sky, there are little pieces of glass-like fragments hanging down, some are as red as blood, some are as hot as fire, and some are as golden and white as knives.
Originally, the entire Shura Field was covered by these three divine barriers, but now a chilling evil aura was rising from the surrounding mountains.
Even the four flowers of the underworld, which can be seen in most of the land in the underworld, cannot survive in this area within dozens of miles.
The underworld is filled with extremely yin energy. It was only because Shi Hao and the others had profound skills that they were able to persevere all the way through.
But when you get here, you can feel the suffocating heat coming towards you, and the smell that seems like raw blood everywhere.
The smell of blood comes from the "blood barrier", one of the three divine barriers.
Under the broken divine miasma, there were a large number of underworld soldiers and generals stationed. Shi Hao and Yun Caiyao observed for a while and then retreated.
Shi Hao said: "In this case, I will trouble you, Brother Gu!"
Gu Long said: "Don't worry, just leave it to us!" He took his men and left quietly.
After a while, a fire started in the distance, as if black oil was ignited by fire, and suddenly, it became lively.
Gu Long led his troops to attack the military camp, and there were raging fires everywhere. The ghost soldiers and generals began to mobilize, but the attackers appeared and disappeared mysteriously, which made the ghost soldiers and generals anxious.
Shi Hao and Yun Caiyao worked together to design a series of strategies for Gu Long to lure and capture the enemy. Gu Long's side implemented them step by step, and sure enough, they saw those underworld soldiers making a mess of things.
With various confusing tactics, the main force of the Hades soldiers were lured out of their lair, chasing after Gu Long's seemingly anxiously retreating party.
The Lost Ghost leaned on his cane, tilted his head, and laughed: "Compared to you two, those guys are really nothing. What a pity, what a pity, if you were born a few hundred years earlier and were invited by the King of Hell to be his military advisor after your death, maybe there would be no chance for the Nether Demon."
Shi Hao stared at the mobilized underworld soldiers and frowned.
Yun Caiyao also said: "Something is not right!"
The lost ghost was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Ming Yueshu, Sha Lingshan and Mei Taoniang also looked towards Shi Hao and Yuncai from afar.
Shi Hao said: "The plan went too easy, much easier than we thought. Anything out of the ordinary is a demon. If it is too difficult, it may be that the enemy has been prepared for it. But if it is too simple, there is something wrong."
The lost ghost laughed and said, "Haha, you schemers are always suspicious. If you don't accomplish something, it's not right. If you accomplish something, it's still not right."
After thinking about it, he was still worried and said, "Is there going to be any problem with Gu Lao Da?"
Yun Caiyao shook his head and said, "From the movement of the Dark Soldiers, it seems that they were caught off guard and in chaos, and they were tricked into falling for various schemes. They were just trying to lure the enemy. Once the plan is complete, they can disperse and retreat. There should be no problem."
The Lost Ghost asked, "Then what are you worried about?"
Shi Hao said: "But the underworld soldiers are too chaotic. They seem to be leaderless and have no commander at all. It seems that the Luofeng Wudi King is not in the army."
The lost ghost murmured, "There is no war in the underworld, maybe he has already gone somewhere to be lazy and have fun
Mei Tao Niang glanced at Sha Ling Shan and said, "I thought only someone could do such a thing.
Sha Ling fanned herself with a round fan: "Oh, I also thought that I was the only one who could do such a thing. Could it be that I have a confidant in the underworld?"
Yun Caiyao whispered, "Since we have alerted the enemy, we can no longer retreat. In short, enter the Shura Field first, but be careful."
Shi Hao said, "Let's go!" Continuing to be suspicious would only lead to a loss of direction, so he had to make a decision at this moment.
They each used their own skills to fly forward rapidly.
They were moving extremely fast, and under the feet of the Lost Ghost, the earth energy was surging, forming a light air, which was like riding the wind.
There were ghost soldiers in front of them who spotted them and came towards them shouting. These ghost soldiers were different from the Agu soldiers on the ground, but most of them were just as ugly and weird.
Shi Hao suddenly drew his sword, which turned out to be the "Mountain Breaking Sword". It was also a top-grade sword that flew out of the Kunlun Immortal Mountain. It originally belonged to Tong Changsheng, the leader of the Guiji Sect. After Tong Changsheng died, the sword fell into his hands.
The blade thrust forward, drawing out a sharp flame. Its aura was so brutal that it was like thousands of troops roaring forward. In a flash, it swept in all the underworld soldiers in front of it.
A ghost general flew over and tried to intercept him. Ming Yueshu moved forward lightly, and with a swipe of his double-pointed spear, the ghost general's head flew up.
After the ghost's body disintegrated, it turned into a wisp of green smoke, swaying.
Yun Caiyao had a sword in his hand, which was sharp and shining. Sha Lingshan and Mei Taoniang also showed their unique skills.
At this moment, a large number of ghost soldiers and generals had been led away, and most of the ghost generals in the army also chased after Gu Long and his men. Although there were still some soldiers and horses left here, they were unable to stop them at all.
They pressed forward and successfully broke through the military camp.
Arriving at the edge of the Shura Field, the evil aura rose to the sky, and there seemed to be flashes of swords and shadows surging like a raging tide.
The lost ghost fell to the ground, tilted his body, and laughed: "Once you jump down, you really can't turn back. Do you want to think about it again?"
Before he finished speaking, he saw several other people jumping down with their clothes fluttering.
"Hey, hey!" The Lost Ghost looked at their figures falling quickly, "Okay, I finally understand why even a powerful demon like the Dark Demon and his 100,000 Aguda soldiers would be defeated in the human world. Maybe there will always be people like you in the human world?"
Then he jumped down, and with a swish, he took advantage of the ground and chased after them.
The astonishing murderous and evil aura rushed towards them, like a tangible sword that cut their skin and caused pain.
Chapter 459: Netherworld: Bloody Battle of Shura!
The interior of the Shura Field was indeed unimaginably tragic.
Countless evil spirits were fighting each other inside. The first time they saw them, the dense swarms of evil ghosts rushed towards them.
These evil spirits will not disappear, but will be constantly torn apart and reassembled between killing and being killed.
Most of the evil spirits had actually lost their minds a long time ago, and had become beasts with no other purpose than killing... They weren't even beasts, they were simply insane monsters.
After all, wild beasts still know how to be afraid. After countless killings and "resurrections", they have long since completely lost their rationality.
They just kept repeating the killing, trapped in an endless cycle.
Boom! A flame burst out, and this time, the evil spirit caught in the fire did not turn into scattered green smoke, but dissipated.
"This is..." The Lost Ghost looked at Shi Hao's sword that was moving forward bravely with a look of surprise.
"Samadhi Primordial Fire!" Shi Hao said indifferently.
Another knife was slashed forward, and the flames rolled in a circle, sucking in the dense crowd of evil spirits.
"Samadhi Primal Fire?" Even though Yuncai was far away, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
In terms of power, Shi Hao's Samadhi Yuanhuo was actually not beyond her strength, and was even slightly inferior to Ming Yueshu.
But no matter whether it was her or Mingyueshu, they could only temporarily crush these evil spirits. Only his Samadhi Yuanhuo could truly "kill" them.
For the lost ghost, this was something unprecedented.
Shi Hao led the way, the sword flashed, and the Samadhi True Fire killed countless evil spirits.
They went deeper and deeper and entered the next level. On the way, many relatively powerful evil spirits came to kill them.
Shi Hao killed one of the tall and evil ghosts with one sword, and the mysterious energy swept forward.
He sensed that a strange evil spirit was rising from deep underground.
This evil energy is so cold and gloomy, and where it floats, the entire space seems like a shaking pile of sand, ready to give people a sense of collapse at any time.
Fight your way into the next level, where you will find red hills all around.
While they were fighting, there were also some evil spirits spying on them from the darkness.
The Lost Ghost suddenly laughed out loud: "What are you looking at? We are here to cause trouble for the Nether Demon. I just want to ask you, do you want help?"
One of the evil spirits snorted.
They continued to move forward, and before they knew it, there were more and more "companions" around them.
However, it turns out that there are many ghost heroes who are unwilling to surrender to the Dark Demon and are trapped in this Shura field and unable to escape.
Most of these ghost heroes are unruly and would rather suffer every day in the Shura Field than obey the orders of the underworld demons and the eight prison lords.
Some of them actually recognized the Lost Ghost. In the past, the Lost Ghost and Gu Long also picked up many ghost heroes in the Shura Field, and those ghost heroes became the source of troops to resist the Nether Demon.
Suddenly, a red earth hill in front split apart, and a group of evil soldiers and generals rushed out.
There was a ghost inside, about three feet tall, with broad shoulders and slanted upward shoulder bones. He had a pointed forehead, sunken eyes, and a small but pointed nose.
"Oh no!" The Lost Ghost whispered, "He is the Luofeng Bottomless King. I didn't expect him to be hiding in the Shura Field."
"Meng Xiaolu!" Luofeng Wudi King recognized the Lost Ghost and sneered, "We were looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect you to lead these guys into the trap. I wonder how you can escape now?"
The Lost Ghost laughed and said, "Escape? While you were hiding in this dark ditch enjoying yourself, your boss, the King Yama, was being slaughtered in the human world. Your time is running out. If you ask me, you'd better escape as soon as possible."
Luofeng Wudi King said angrily: "Arrogant!" He shouted: "Destroy them for me!"
A large number of ghost soldiers rushed out, and among them were many ghost generals, who looked ferocious and vicious, and rushed towards them.
