Yellow Smoke Subdues the Netherworld

Ziling took out the paper money.

The paper money was yellowish and looked very old, with even some signs of insect damage.

But at that moment, when they saw the paper money in her hand, their eyes lit up.

"Yes, my Big Brother specifically told us to bring paper money to burn for these ghosts. He must have foreseen this!"

Xin Ning's big eyes lit up.

The Big Brother's every move was full of meaning; since he had asked for the paper money, it must have a purpose.

"Ziling, let's quickly burn paper money for this ghost!"

Yunxi also spoke up.

Immediately, they used their Law Power to ignite a flame, took out a grimy yellow paper coin, and began to burn it.

They were all already at the level of true gods, and at this moment, the True God Fire was released, capable of even incinerating a small world.

But that paper money, which looked old and almost rotten, remained completely still amidst the raging True God Fire!

It cannot be ignited.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"What kind of paper is this?!"

Gui Qi was utterly astonished; that was the True God Fire, yet it couldn't even ignite a piece of yellow paper...

"These papers... the True God Fire cannot ignite them!"

Xin Ning was also somewhat anxious.

"No, since Master asked us to bring it, there's no way we can't use it..."

Ziling pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said:

"I see."

As she spoke, she immediately took out her paintbrush.

This paintbrush was made for her by Li Fan using the feathers of Old Mother Hen. Later, Ziling thought that "Chicken Feather Brush" sounded too awful, so she renamed it the Phoenix Heaven Brush.

With the Phoenix Heaven Brush in hand, she took a deep breath, channeled her Law Power, and poured it into the Phoenix Heaven Brush.

Instantly, a burst of fiery red-gold flame emanated from the tip of the brush.

The appearance of this flame caused Gui Qi and the other ghosts to feel a sense of fear, their hearts trembling, and they even had a desire to flee.

Because this flame seems capable of burning away all the darkness in the world!

However, for the sake of the Ghost Lord... they suppressed their inner fear, and large beads of sweat fell from their bodies.

A flame, as reddish-gold, shot up onto the yellow paper in a flash.

The yellow paper was set on fire.

However, the yellow paper burned extremely slowly.

Under the burning of the Phoenix True Fire, only a small portion, about the size of a little fingernail, was burning. Moreover, while ordinary Zhang Yi would burn quickly and turn to ash, the small portion of the yellow paper that was burning did not char; it only turned slightly yellow, and the change was extremely slow.

As the Phoenix True Fire burned, wisps of yellow smoke rose from the yellow paper.

It was extremely bizarre.

Everyone was overjoyed to see this.

"But what should we do next?"

Then, everyone seemed a little confused.

"Hmm... Since the Great Devil King said we should burn offerings for the ghosts, shouldn't we just call them by name and let them come and collect them?"

Yunxi tentatively spoke.

It seems that in the mortal world, when burning paper money for ghosts, people usually call out their names.

"Let's give it a try."

Ziling immediately spoke up, asking, "Um, what's your Ghost Lord's name?"

Gui Qi hurriedly said:

"The Heavenly Darkness! My Ghost Lord's name is Heavenly Darkness)."

Yunxi and the others immediately nodded.

"Dark Ghost Lord... come here to collect your money!"

"Little Heavenly Darkness... come and collect your money!"

Yunxi and Ziling called out, as if they were calling back a soul.

As their words rang out, the Dark Ghost Lord, who was mercilessly devouring everything atop the deathly aura ahead, suddenly turned around blankly, staring at them with empty eyes!

And at this moment.

This star field is located in the Ding Star Realm.

A raging river of blood, a deep and dark abyss, an eerie aura pervades this realm.

Above the river of blood, the blood transformed into colossal crimson pillars, supporting the crimson palace.

Inside the palace, a terrifying Blood Demon Ghost king was muttering to himself.

"Yes, lost soul, only the netherworld is your final resting place. Become my slave..."

"Why linger? Why hesitate? Freedom is a sin, a torment; yearning for Shackles is the destination you should return to."

Blood Demon Ghost Lord beckoned, and on the blood-red steps that appeared before him, Dark Ghost Lord walked in woodenly step by step.

"As expected of Ghost Lord level figure with extraordinary talent, you possess a powerful obsession. Heh... If I were at the Demon Lord level, I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to defeat you."

Blood Demon Ghost Lord sneered. Finally, Dark Ghost Lord walked up the blood-red steps and stood in front of Blood Demon Ghost Lord.

"Good boy, that's more like it."

The Blood Demon Ghost Lord stretched out his aged hand, about to place it on the head of the Dark Ghost Lord.

But, right now.

A voice suddenly rang out on the blood-red steps.

"Dark Ghost Lord... come to collect the money..."

"Little Heavenly Darkness... come and collect your money..."

It sounded as if a young girl was chanting, calling back a soul.

At the same time, a wisp of yellow smoke drifted up from the blood-red staircase filled with Nether aura!

As the yellow smoke drifted over, suddenly, the entire blood-red staircase and the underworld passage crumbled and collapsed!

The Dark Ghost Lord, who had been as bewildered as a walking corpse, suddenly regained his senses. He looked up at the Blood Demon Ghost Lord before him, and his expression changed drastically!

"I..."

What's going on?

He spoke in shock.

And the Blood Demon Ghost Lord roared angrily:

"Who dares to snatch someone from the Netherworld?!"

He didn't wait any longer and slapped the Dark Ghost Lord down.

I'd rather shatter this soul.

However, the yellow smoke had already drifted over, enveloping the Dark Ghost Lord within it.

Blood Demon Ghost Lord slammed his palm down on the yellow smoke.

But in that instant, his terrifying palm strike vanished into thin air, as if it had never been thrown at all. Even more terrifying, his palm was completely dissolved and evaporated!

"Ah--"

The Blood Demon Ghost Lord let out a shrill scream, feeling an unparalleled pain at that moment.

His right arm was completely gone, and no matter how many methods he used, he could not bring it back to life.

"No... it's impossible..."

"I have attained the Lord Dao, my soul's light will not dissipate, my life's traces will not perish... Even if only a drop of blood remains, I can live on and never die, rebuilding my body. Why then... will my hand never grow back?"

The Blood Demon Ghost Lord spoke in terror, his demonic eyes filled with fear as he stared at the plume of yellow smoke.

What kind of demonic smoke is that?!

"Wrong..."

As soon as this thought arose in his mind, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his blood flowed backward, and two lines of bloody tears streamed down his face.

"No... this... could this be the legendary thing, that disrespect in the eyes leads to blindness, and a lack of respect in the heart leads to a broken heart..."

He spoke in a trembling voice. At this moment, he dared not sit high on the throne any longer, and immediately knelt down before the yellow smoke, trembling with fear.

"I was wrong, please spare me, please spare me!"

The Blood Demon Ghost King pleaded desperately!

He was filled with extreme fear. Just what kind of extraordinary background did this Ghost Lord have?

There's actually protection from something like this...?!

The yellow smoke, however, paid no heed to him, enveloping the Dark Ghost Lord and disappearing directly from the collapsing Netherworld Path.

The blood-red staircase had also completely disappeared.

"Finally... finally we're gone."

Blood Demon Ghost Lord was still shaken; his face was covered in sweat.

I never thought I'd see something like this one day...

He struggled to his feet.

But at that very moment, he was stunned once again.

Because he felt that his body... was actually aging.

His internal organs and his entire body's Demon Power seemed to have been slashed!

"My lifespan... has been completely cut off, leaving me with only a few days to live!?"

Having gained insight into himself and understood the truth, the Blood Demon Ghost Lord immediately collapsed to the ground, his demonic body trembling violently.

Sky...

What exactly is that yellow smoke?

He was Demon Lord, having attained the Netherworld Dao Fruit and lived as long as the sun, moon, and stars. Yet now, all his lifespan had been severed?!

He felt that if he hadn't acted quickly and knelt down to worship the yellow smoke on the spot, he probably wouldn't have been able to save even these few days of his life!

At this moment, the Blood Demon Ghost Lord's face was filled with fear, and at the same time, endless anger surged forth.

"You two beasts, you're both Xue Can Xue Jin! What have you done to deserve this?! You've really screwed me over! I'll kill you!!"

He was consumed by rage!
