Three Immortal Venerables
When the blood-tinged Sun of the Asura Realm rose into the sky once more, the Black Heaven Asura King, with his entire army, launched his fourth large-scale attack on the gates of the Underworld Ghost Realm.
In the morning sunlight, the gigantic Black Heaven Asura King, leading an army of Asura as surging like a tide, slowly approached the gate of the Underworld Ghost Realm.
"Form ranks quickly!"
The leader in charge of guarding the pass was directing his Underworld Emissary officials, some of whom were beating a giant alarm drum with Underworld Emissary deafening roar.
The city gates opened, and a line of Pass Guard Ghost Generals led their Underworld to confront the army of the Black Heaven Asura King head-on. Meanwhile, more powerful Underworld Emissary began to form formations on the battlefield, creating layers of the Illusion Realm to hinder the Asura's advance.
But the Asura's attack came quickly and suddenly. This time, the Asura leading the army were even stronger. The originally dominant Pass Guard Ghost Generals fought against them but were suppressed instead. In the fierce and chaotic battle, many of them were killed.
Suddenly, a Cloudmist surged in, enveloping the entire battlefield. The Underworld Emissaries finished their formation, and strange phenomena appeared within the Cloudmist.
Countless terrifying Ghosts emerged from the clouds to fight the Asura, followed by countless dragons, phoenixes, tigers, Dragons, Phoenixes, Tigers, and Leopards that ran and flew, spewing flames and manipulating Thunder to attack the Asura army.
The Asura were entangled by the Ghosts, which were originally Ghosts born from the mist, yet they left fatal wounds on them. The flames, gales, and Thunder released by the Divine Beast also created huge explosions and shockwaves when they hit the ground.
Some Asura, after being possessed by Ghosts, suddenly went mad, as if they saw something incredibly terrifying, and attacked wildly indiscriminately, injuring many of their companions.
At that moment, the Black Heaven Asura King, standing in the center of the Asura, suddenly raised his six arms. Eyes grew from the center of his palms. He used the Divine Eyes in the palms of his six hands to emit light and sweep around. The illusions released by the Underworld Emissaries around him instantly vanished.
"Underworld!"
Black Heaven burst into laughter.
"Faced with me now, your illusions are nothing but a joke!"
He stepped forward, and the eyes on the palms of his six hands opened and closed, releasing several beams of incredibly powerful light that killed all the demon generals entangled with his Asura subordinates.
You have no chance!
Black Heaven roared and strode forward, shaking the mountains and rivers. When he arrived at the pass, he opened his Third Eye on his forehead and released a fire dragon, which instantly scorched the city gate into molten Molten Iron.
"Quickly, go and invite Fierce Venerable and Python Venerable!"
Upon seeing this, the Underworld Emissary official in charge of command at the pass quickly shouted.
"I just went to fetch him! But the messenger hasn't returned yet!"
"That's what the underworld Underworld Emissary replied."
"What?"
The Underworld Emissary paused for a moment, then asked, "Then quickly go and fetch Deputy General Xue Ling!"
"Deputy General Xue Ling's Subordinates and he himself have both disappeared!"
Shortly after, one of his underworld Underworld Emissary reported this.
"What?"
The Underworld Emissary Commander was both anxious and furious.
"They're used to living a life of luxury and high status, but now, at this crucial moment, they've all run away? Damn it, Immortals? Bah!"
He glanced at the Black Heaven Asura King, who was wreaking havoc beyond the pass, and drew the Iron Chains from his waist.
"Go back and inform Flame Venerable and Yama King, asking them to send more reinforcements to protect the Ghost Realm Passage Entrance. The rest of you, stay here with me and guard this place!"
The Underworld Emissaries responded in unison, while the Commander charged towards the Black Heaven Asura King. His spiritual body Purple Mansion, and the vast Vast Sea stirred up towering waves of Spirit Qi, surrounding a central continent. The raging torrents burst forth from his body, transforming into layers of illusions that struck the Black Heaven.
"Rebellious Ghost God!"
He roared, "Under the Underworld Iron Law, cease your arrogance!"
The two clashed, their powerful energies from the Vast Sea Realm colliding and creating a frenzied surge on the battlefield before the pass.
Although the Underworld Emissaries fought bravely, the Asura were strangely strengthened and currently overwhelmed the Underworld Emissaries in both numbers and individual strength.
The situation was similar for Black Heaven Asura King and the Underworld Emissary Commander. Although the Underworld Emissary Commander was also a powerful Ghost Immortal in the Vast Sea Realm, he was still in the middle stage of the Vast Sea Realm, while Black Heaven Asura King's strength had been enhanced to the Great Perfection of the Vast Sea Realm, and he was only one step away from the Reincarnation Realm of the Immortal Venerable level.
In the intense battle, the Underworld Emissary Commander's Immortal Power quickly waned, while the Black Heaven Asura King's energy remained abundant. He soon fell into a disadvantageous position, and in a moment of carelessness, he was struck by the Black Heaven Asura King's Demon Eye, instantly petrifying from his limbs onwards.
I respect you as a worthy opponent!
Black Heaven Asura King laughed heartily and added two more beams of demonic light to the spirit body of the Underworld Emissary Commander.
"So you can stay here and watch as I raze the pass you guard!"
He led his army forward, and suddenly, two streaks of light, one black and one green, flashed across the sky.
"It's Fierce Venerable and Python Venerable Ran!"
The Underworld Emissaries were greatly encouraged and began to counterattack, while the Underworld Emissary Commander, whose body was gradually being petrified, breathed a sigh of relief.
What was petrified was his spirit. As long as his Souls remained, he could abandon this spirit at any time and simply start cultivating all over again.
Most importantly, the appearance of the Ghost Realm Twin Venerables means that the pass has been defended. The Black Heaven Asura King is still one step away from the Reincarnation Realm, and he has no ability to fight back in front of the Immortal Venerable.
Two streaks of light transformed into the figures of two Immortal Venerable. An incomparably terrifying aura emanated from the two beings, pressing down on the entire battlefield. The halos behind their heads slowly rotated, their gazes sweeping across the battlefield, but they made no move.
What happened?
The Underworld Emissaries were greatly puzzled, but suddenly they saw Fierce Venerable, with a black halo behind his head, raise his hand and strike the gate of the Ghost Realm.
The force of the palm strike created a terrifying, pitch-black Sun in the air, which crashed to the ground, blasting a huge gap in the sturdy gate to the Ghost Realm.
The Asura cheered and surged into the pass, overwhelming the desperately resisting Underworld Emissary. The Underworld Emissary Commander, his entire body being petrified, with only his head still Mobile, glared at the sky and demanded, "Fierce Venerable? Why?!"
Fierce Venerable withdrew his hand, Book of Questions both hands behind his back, clearly disdainful of answering his question.
But the next moment, a black light suddenly pierced through the battlefield and struck Fierce Venerable heavily. Caught off guard, the halo behind Fierce Venerable's head almost shattered, and he flew out spitting blood.
"Let me tell you why."
A thicker layer of Cloudmist silently enveloped the entire battlefield. Xue Ling's figure emerged from the Cloudmist, his Iron Chains dragging on the ground with a chilling sound.
A hazy halo gathered behind his head, seemingly real yet illusory, like a reflection in water, making it difficult to see clearly.
Accompanied by Cloudmist, he arrived at the front of the formation, looked up at the Python Venerable in the sky, and the Fierce Venerable had returned to the air, and coldly said, "Ghost Realm Python Venerable and Fierce Venerable of the Ghost Realm, you have betrayed the Underworld Ghost Realm, colluded with a great enemy, and violated the Underworld Iron Law. According to the law, your cultivation should be abolished, and you should be imprisoned in the Eighteen Levels of Hell, never to be reincarnated!"
