Hell Unemptied, Vow Unfulfilled

Xiruan looked at King Chujiang, who was clinging to her leg with snot and tears streaming down his face, her small face etched with disgust.

"Who are you? Let go of me! You're filthy! You got snot all over my leg!"

She kicked her legs, trying to shake off the leg-hanger.

King Chujiang held on tight, refusing to let go. He had completely figured it out.

This little Devil King who didn't play by the rules couldn't be reasoned with, because she didn't play by the rules.

And he definitely couldn't use force, as her fists were ten thousand times harder than his.

Now, he felt his only hope was to cling to her leg!

As long as I show enough humility, as long as I admit defeat quickly enough, you won't feel right about hitting me anymore, will you?

"Grandma! I'm the boss of this Second Hall, King Chujiang!"

He said with as much pitifulness as possible.

"You... you're here to collect your salary, right? I'll pay! I'll pay right now!"

"I'll give you everything valuable in my Second Hall!"

"I just beg you to be merciful and spare this little king's life, considering how cooperative I am!"

As he spoke, he roared at the Judge ghost officers behind him, who were already scared stiff.

"What are you idiots still gawking at?!"

"Quick! Quick, open my royal treasury! Move all the treasures inside out for Grandma!"

"Don't leave a single soul jade! Anyone who dares to hide anything, I'll skin them alive!"

The Judge ghost officers' legs had already gone weak from the golden armor outside the main hall.

They didn't dare to hesitate now, scrambling and tumbling towards the treasury in the back hall, afraid of being smashed into meat paste by a Baby Bottle if they were too slow.

"Huh? This boss is much more sensible than the first one."

Xiruan nodded with satisfaction.

"Fine, since you're so sincere, I won't tear down your company."

King Chujiang was overjoyed, tears welling up.

"Thank you, Grandma! Thank you for your mercy! You truly have the heart of a Bodhisattva, compassionate and merciful!"

Inside, however, his heart was bleeding profusely.

The Second Hall's treasures had been accumulated over countless epochs, all his personal savings painstakingly gathered from various channels.

Today, he feared this little ancestor would empty it all in one go.

Better to lose wealth and avoid disaster!

It was much better than being tied up and forced to lead the way like his elder brother.

Soon, a group of ghost officers emerged from the back hall, carrying large chests.

The chests were arranged neatly in the center of the hall and opened.

Gems and treasures sparkled, radiating colorful light. Various yin-attributed heavenly materials and earthly treasures were piled up like small mountains.

Any single item taken from here would be enough to make the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals in the mortal realm fight tooth and nail.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad. Looks like more than the first boss gave."

Xiruan looked at the shiny, glowing objects and waved her small hand.

Behind her, Wuyun Immortal and the others immediately understood and carried away all the large chests.

"Grandma, are you... are you satisfied?"

King Chujiang felt like he couldn't breathe from the heartache, but he still forced a fawning smile and asked cautiously.

"Hmm, it's alright." Xiruan nodded. "Where's the next boss?"

King Chujiang: "..."

You... you want to continue?

Are you not going to stop until you've emptied the coffers of all ten brothers?

Did you come to collect wages?

Why do you seem so much like a robber!

He cried inwardly, pointing tremblingly in the next direction.

"The... the Third Hall belongs to King Songdi's domain..."

"Good! Little ones, let's go!"

Xiruan left the Second Hall grandly with her entourage, completely satisfied.

King Chujiang collapsed instantly in the empty hall, wanting to cry but having no tears.

In the Third Hall, King Songdi, upon seeing Xiruan's army, immediately opened the gates himself, knelt to welcome them, and offered all his possessions with both hands.

In the Fourth Hall, King Wuguan even followed suit, even preparing tea and snacks in advance, welcoming her with extreme humility.

In the Fifth Hall, King Yama...

Wherever Xiruan, leading her wage-seeking army, went, all the Yama Kings shamelessly chose to surrender on the spot and offered their treasures.

They were all afraid that if they were too slow, they would suffer the same fate as the First Hall.

Xiruan's little treasury rapidly filled up.

Her red bellyband was like a bottomless pit, no matter how many treasures were stuffed in, it couldn't be filled.

Zixiao Palace.

Master Tongtian clutched his heart again.

She just robbed... robbed the Underworld?

And she robbed them one by one?

He was no longer worried that Ancestor Hongjun would slap him to death.

He started to worry that his own lawless daughter might not be satisfied and would also rob Empress Houtu's Hall of Reincarnation?

That would truly be a huge mess!

Xiruan was unaware of her father's worries and was happily collecting rent all the way.

Cuiyun Palace, a palace complex constructed from endless Buddha Light and grand Prayer Power.

"You fiend! If I do not avenge this hatred, I swear I will not attain Buddhahood!"

Ksitigarbha suddenly opened his eyes, filled with endless resentment and murderous intent.

He absolutely could not let this go!

He had to get his revenge!

He wanted to make that ignorant little fiend pay the price in blood!

As he racked his brain, contemplating how to retaliate.

The Buddha Boy guarding the palace rushed in in a panic.

"Bodhisattva! It's bad! Something terrible has happened!"

"What is it that makes you so flustered? What sort of manner is this!" Ksitigarbha frowned and reprimanded unhappily.

"Th-that little Devil King, she... she robbed all the Ten Yama Kings!"

The Buddha Boy stammered out what was happening outside.

"What?!"

Ksitigarbha's face was filled with disbelief.

That little fiend hadn't even left the Underworld yet, and she was already robbing them house by house?!

What did she take the Ten Yama Kings for?

"Outrageous! Simply lawless!"

Ksitigarbha trembled with rage.

It seemed he had no choice but to use his final resort.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and brilliant Buddha Light erupted from him again.

His solemn and murderous voice pierced through layers of space, resounding in the ears of every living being in the entire Underworld.

"Amitabha."

"If the hells are not emptied, I will not become a Buddha!"

"Since there is such a world-shaking Devil in the mortal realm who distorts right and wrong and disrespects my Buddha."

"Then this humble monk, with his supreme vow today, will bring forth the eighteen layers of hell upon the world!"

"To eternally suppress you, Devil! And to cleanse your sins with the fires of Avici Hell!"

As his voice fell.

The sky above the entire Underworld turned red, and the ghosts felt a tremor in their hearts.

Deep, bottomless chasms split open in the earth, from which terrifying wails and roars emanated.

Black purgatories, exuding endless sin and extreme suffering, slowly rose from the ground!

Mountains of knives, seas of fire, cauldrons of oil, stone mills...

The eighteen purgatories, representing the most extreme suffering in the world, were drawn by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's supreme vow and merged into one, transforming into Avici Hell!

This was Ksitigarbha's final trump card!

And his most powerful Spiritual Power!

He merged with hell itself, drawing upon the power of hell's origin to use as his own!

In this state, his strength would be infinitely close to that of a Saint!
