#385 - Chapter 395: Lord of the Underworld

After being saved, Daoist Taibai directly betrayed the Immortal Lord.

He revealed all the dirty things he had done.

He kept scolding the Immortal Lord and shouting for Jiang Ning to save the Immortal Lord and make him turn back.

After hearing this, Jiang Ning was also amazed.

He didn't expect that the Immortal Lord had actually forced his daughter-in-law.

His grandson was actually his own biological son.

At the same time, he had also done many immoral things.

On the surface, he was the benevolent and righteous co-lord of the Immortal Realm.

In reality, he was an extremely selfish bastard.

For his own benefit, he could even kill his closest relatives.

"Well, I understand. I will save the Immortal Lord when I have time."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

Then, he took Daoist Taibai and Daoist Black Stone into the cave world.

"Hahaha, Daoist Black Stone, have you also awakened?"

"Good, good, that's really great."

Daoist Three Purities showed joy on his face when he saw his close friend Daoist Black Stone.

"I am ashamed. I was still thinking about capturing Fellow Daoist Jiang Ning and rescuing Fellow Daoist Three Purities."

"Now I have completely awakened. Following Fellow Daoist Jiang Ning is the best way to get ahead."

"I envy Fellow Daoist Three Purities for being able to awaken earlier and follow Fellow Daoist Jiang Ning."

Daoist Black Stone said with envy.

"Haha, it's not too late to awaken now. Fellow Daoist Black Stone, we will be able to be together forever in the future and follow Fellow Daoist Jiang Ning to fight in the heavens."

Daoist Three Purities laughed loudly.

Then, they absorbed the power of the Devouring Heaven Immortal Realm together to condense Immortal Essence Fruits.

The speed of Dao Ancestors devouring was so abnormal.

It reached an unimaginable level.

With the four Dao Ancestors devouring together, the Immortal Lord in the cave world.

Was filled with Immortal Essence Fruits, shining brightly, like rounds of small suns, hanging on it.

As long as you take the Immortal Essence Fruit, you can save countless cultivation time.

Of course, bottlenecks between major realms cannot be broken through.

It depends on one's own comprehension.

For example, an Immortal Emperor in the early stage, after taking the Immortal Essence Fruit, can impact the Immortal Emperor peak in a short time.

Saving countless cultivation time.

As for wanting to break through to Heavenly Lord, it depends on comprehension.

Immortal Essence Fruit is to help cultivators accumulate mana faster.

With these Immortal Essence Fruits, after the Great Xia Heavenly Court is restarted, Jiang Ning can help them cultivate quickly and improve their realm.

……

The news of Jiang Ning suppressing and killing three top Dao Ancestors gradually spread to the major dojos.

The sensation it caused was even greater than suppressing and killing Xuan Ancestor.

"This Jiang Ning is defying the heavens. I'm afraid only Pan Ancestor can suppress him."

One by one, the Dao Ancestors were truly terrified at this time.

They didn't dare to find Jiang Ning's trouble again.

Jiang Ning was also very smooth, saving all the immortals of the fifty-three major forces who invaded the Heavenly God Academy.

He took them into the cave world.

At this time, the cave world was overcrowded.

In addition, Jiang Ning seized a large amount of resources, and ten caves were basically filled.

Just waiting to prove the Tao, the cave world was promoted to a big world.

After avenging his revenge, Jiang Ning hurried to the underworld.

It's time to conquer the underworld.

Sitting on his beloved Nine Dragons Divine Carriage, Jiang Ning came to Youming Mountain.

Youming Mountain is shrouded in endless death, dark, and everything exudes a decayed smell.

In the depths of Youming Mountain, there is a Road to Yellow Springs. Through the Road to Yellow Springs, you can enter the underground world thousands of kilometers deep.

That is where the underworld is located.

"Longshan, you wait on the periphery."

Jiang Ning ordered.

Immediately, he turned into a streamer and rushed into the depths of Youming Mountain.

"Countless years have passed, and I have finally returned to the underworld."

In the Yellow Springs Diagram, a streamer flew out, and then condensed into a wretched little old man.

Huang Quan's eyes were full of vicissitudes and memories.

"Huang Quan, let's go, let's enter the underworld."

Jiang Ning said.

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Ning and Huang Quan stepped into the Road to Yellow Springs and entered the underworld.

At this moment, a burly horse-headed man and a tall bull-headed man blocked the way of the two.

"The underworld is an important place. Trespassers die!"

Two terrifying figures uttered a grim voice at the same time.

"Ox-Head and Horse-Face, don't you recognize me?"

Huang Quan shouted loudly.

The terrifying power pressed over.

"You...you are Huang Quan, the spirit of the Yellow Springs Diagram!"

Ox-Head and Horse-Face were shocked.

They didn't expect to see the Yellow Springs Diagram again.

"Lord Huang Quan, you are finally back."

Then he showed great joy.

"Get out of the way, don't block the way," Huang Quan said.

"Yes." Ox-Head and Horse-Face quickly made way.

Jiang Ning and Huang Quan continued to enter the underworld.

"Master, crossing Naihe Bridge will enter the underworld," Huang Quan said.

Jiang Ning nodded, not too excited.

In the past, he dared to expect to conquer the underworld, use it for his own use, and increase his strength.

Now, even the top Dao Ancestors have been saved by him, and the strength of the underworld is naturally not taken to heart.

However, Jiang Ning did not give up the underworld.

Who would dislike increasing their power?

"Naihe Bridge, the road to life and death, idlers are not allowed to enter."

At this moment, a hoarse and old voice sounded.

I saw an old woman with white hair and a hunched back walking from the other end of Naihe Bridge.

"Ghost Woman, don't you recognize me? You dare to block the way."

Huang Quan felt a little embarrassed.

He was blocked three times and five times, and he lost all face in front of the master.

After all, he is also a big figure in the underworld.

"It turns out to be Lord Huang Quan."

"You can walk over, but the person next to you is not from the underworld and cannot enter."

"Unless you rely on your own strength to break through Naihe Bridge."

The Ghost Woman said expressionlessly.

It's like an emotionless machine.

"Ghost Woman, do you know the identity of my master? You dare to stop him?"

Huang Quan couldn't help but worry about the Ghost Woman.

She actually took action to stop his master.

"The old woman is only responsible for guarding Naihe Bridge and doesn't care about the disturbances from the outside world."

The Ghost Woman had a very tragic life experience.

She was rescued by the Ghost Lord back then.

After that, she loyally followed the Ghost Lord.

After being ordered by the Ghost Lord to guard Naihe Bridge, she never left.

"I'm asking you to get out of the way!"

Huang Quan frowned slightly, very dissatisfied.

"Only Lord Ghost Lord is qualified to order me."

The Ghost Woman remained unmoved.

Huang Quan was furious and prepared to take action.

"Huang Quan, let me break through Naihe Bridge."

Jiang Ning waved his hand and stopped Huang Quan.

He didn't care.

For him, walking through Naihe Bridge was an easy task.

"Young man, there are billions of ghosts under Naihe Bridge. Even some ordinary Dao Ancestors don't dare to break through easily. Don't be too confident and lose your life in vain."

"You have to think carefully," the Ghost Woman kindly reminded.

"What is there to fear from a mere Naihe Bridge?"

Jiang Ning's attitude was contemptuous, and he walked onto Naihe Bridge.

As soon as he stepped on Naihe Bridge, Jiang Ning entered an illusionary space.

"Aowu ~"

Suddenly, billions of ferocious ghosts, ferocious and terrifying, opened their mouths with fangs and rushed towards Jiang Ning.

"Naihe Bridge is fundamentally impossible for a Heavenly Lord to break through."

"Lord Huang Quan, if you don't want him to die, take action to save him."

The Ghost Woman said.

After all, he is the new owner of the Yellow Springs Diagram, and she doesn't want Jiang Ning to die on Naihe Bridge like this.

Huang Quan showed a disdainful smile.

"Ghost Woman, don't even mention this Naihe Bridge, even if Lord Ghost Lord is alive, he is not the master's opponent."

The Ghost Woman said: "Impossible..."

She didn't believe that a Heavenly Lord could break through Naihe Bridge.

Naihe Bridge, on the surface, looks like a very ordinary small wooden bridge.

However, it hides a powerful formation.

Equivalent to the underworld's sect-protecting formation.

This was created by the Ghost Lord, spending endless years and collecting countless precious materials.

Even ordinary Dao Ancestors may die on Naihe Bridge, let alone Heavenly Lords.

At this moment, Jiang Ning just waved his hand casually.

The billions of ferocious ghosts were directly wiped out.

Jiang Ning strode across Naihe Bridge.

"This...how is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, the Ghost Woman was directly dumbfounded.

Unbelievable, how could a Heavenly Lord easily break through Naihe Bridge.

"Hehe, Ghost Woman, do you know how powerful the new master is now?"

"To tell you the truth, that old guy Xuan Ancestor was also killed by the master."

Leaving a laugh, Huang Quan also stepped over Naihe Bridge and entered the underworld.

Leaving the Ghost Woman stunned in place, unable to recover for a long time.

Xuan Ancestor was killed?

She suspected that her ears had misheard?

Her heart was extremely shocked.

……

Yanluo Hall.

"Greetings, Master!"

The Lord of Yanluo Hall knelt respectfully on the ground.

"Immediately summon the Five Hall Lords, the Ten Judges, and all the Ghost Venerables and Ghost Emperors to gather."

Jiang Ning ordered.

"Yes, Master."

The Lord of Yanluo Hall disappeared in place.

Soon, with his status, he summoned the Lord of Huangquan Hall, the Lord of Fengdu Hall, the Lord of Rebirth Hall, and the Lord of Hell Hall.

And countless high-level officials of the underworld, such as the Ten Judges, were gathered together.

In the hall, everyone started talking.

I don't know what the Lord of Yanluo Hall suddenly summoned everyone for.

The Lord of Rebirth Hall snorted coldly, and said with some dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Yanluo, what are you summoning us for?"

"Don't waste time, tell me quickly."

He has always been at odds with the Lord of Yanluo Hall.

Moreover, in order to prove the Tao, he has been in seclusion for endless years.

This time, Yanluo actually directly disrupted his seclusion and forced him to leave.

He was even more dissatisfied.

If it wasn't for something big, he would definitely fight the Lord of Yanluo Hall desperately.

Everyone also looked at the Lord of Yanluo Hall.

"The underworld has been without an owner for a long time, and it's time to have an owner."

"Summoning you here is for the election of the owner of the underworld."

The Lord of Yanluo Hall also cut to the chase and directly stated his purpose.

"Bastard!"

"The underworld is without an owner, and it's not your turn to be the owner, Yanluo."

"Without proving the Tao, you are completely unqualified."

The Lord of Rebirth Hall scolded.

Thinking that the Lord of Yanluo Hall wanted to be the Lord of the underworld.

The Lord of Yanluo Hall smiled contemptuously, looked at the Lord of Rebirth Hall, and said: "Rebirth, this Hall Lord didn't say that he was going to be the Lord of the underworld."

"The new Ghost Lord is someone else."

"Someone else?"

"Who is it?"

"Apart from the Five Hall Lords, who else is qualified to ascend the throne of the Lord of the underworld?"

A group of underworld judges and ghost emperors started talking one after another.

As for the two Dao Ancestors of the underworld, Tianzang and Heitu.

Since the Ghost Lord fell, they have entered seclusion.

They have not left seclusion until now.

Otherwise, it would not be the turn of the Five Hall Lords to compete for the position of the underworld.

With Dao Ancestors in charge, how can Heavenly Lords compete for the throne?

"Yanluo, do you dare to betray the underworld and find outsiders to be the Lord of the underworld?"

The Lord of Rebirth Hall and the others shouted.

They thought that Yanluo had found other Dao Ancestors and betrayed the underworld.

"Please welcome the master."

Yanluo didn't talk nonsense, and respectfully bowed to the void.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ning and Huang Quan appeared in front of everyone.

"Lord Huang Quan!"

"It's Lord Huang Quan!"

As soon as Huang Quan appeared, everyone was shocked.

"Hehe, a bunch of little bunnies, you can still recognize me, not bad, not bad."

Huang Quan had a smile on his face.

"From now on, the new owner of the underworld is Jiang Ning, the new owner of the Yellow Springs Diagram!"

Huang Quan announced in public.

"What? He is Jiang Ning!"

Everyone in the audience was shocked.

Jiang Ning's name at this time can be said to have resounded throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

"Lord Huang Quan, even if he is the new owner of the Yellow Springs Diagram, he is not qualified to be the Lord of the underworld, right."

"One is not from the underworld, and two, a Heavenly Lord is the Lord of the underworld, how can we be convinced?"

"If you want to be the Lord of the underworld, defeat me first."

The Lord of Rebirth Hall said.

He has been in seclusion, so naturally he doesn't know Jiang Ning's name now.

At this time, everyone looked at the Lord of Rebirth Hall like an idiot.

Challenge Jiang Ning?

Isn't this courting death?

Looking at everyone's reaction, the Lord of Rebirth Hall was stunned and felt very puzzled.

What's going on?

Why are they looking at themselves with strange eyes?

Yanluo also sneered and gloated.

"Defeat you?"

A sneer appeared on the corner of Jiang Ning's mouth, and he looked at the Lord of Rebirth Hall.

"That's right, if you want to be the Lord of the underworld, defeat me first."

The Lord of Rebirth Hall said affirmatively.

Although he didn't know why Jiang Ning was so confident.

However, he is still very confident in his own strength.

Almost invincible under Dao Ancestor.

I don't believe I will lose.

Jiang Ning didn't talk nonsense, and gently pointed his finger.

Boom!

Suddenly, a vast force, like a tsunami, surged towards the Lord of Rebirth Hall.

Thump!

This nearly invincible powerhouse under Dao Ancestor directly knelt on the ground, unable to move half a step.

"Impossible!"

"How could this be?"

The Lord of Rebirth Hall's face was pale, and his head was covered in sweat.

Unbelievably, a snap of the Celestial Venerable's fingers had completely robbed him of his fighting ability.

The others were also trembling with fear.

Seeing it with their own eyes was entirely different from hearing about it.

They were incredibly shocked; was the strength of a Celestial Venerable truly this terrifying?

"Does anyone else object?"

Yan Luo's voice echoed throughout the arena.

"Greetings, Ghost Master!"

"Greetings, Ghost Master!"

At this moment, after weighing their options, a group of high-ranking officials from the Underworld knelt one after another, submitting to Jiang Ning.

Firstly, Jiang Ning's strength was formidable; even Xuan Zu had been defeated.

Secondly, as the new owner of the Yellow Springs Diagram and having cultivated the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique, he could barely be considered a successor of the Ghost Master, making him qualified to become the new Lord of the Underworld.

Rumble!

However, at that very moment, an unprecedentedly powerful aura soared into the sky from the forbidden area of the Underworld.

It made everyone feel terrified.

"This…"

"What happened?"

The faces of everyone in the Underworld changed drastically.

Jiang Ning also frowned slightly, murmuring, "What a powerful aura."

PS: This is all Underworld plot; I was too lazy to separate it into chapters, so it's equivalent to two chapters' worth of words.

I'll start rushing the word count tomorrow and start mass releasing chapters!

After reading the feedback from the readers, the pace seems a bit slow; I will try to speed it up as much as possible.
