The gateway to [Fengdu] burst open with a thunderous roar, revealing a vast, matchless silhouette!
It resembled an immense Heaven-Reaching Giant Tower, stacked eighteen levels high, reaching into the heavens, touching the Great Void above and joining the netherworld below.
The surrounding turbid yin was so dense and heavy that it condensed into substance, gathering in strands into the shapes of snakes, pythons, and great flood dragons that roamed about, stirring up a commotion.
Fuli Zi rode his flight light forward, his broad sleeves fluttering as he leisurely entered.
Ghostly wails filled heaven and earth. Bleak yin winds swirled with dense blood baleful intent, howling and shrieking as they twisted, scraping at the world in every direction until it seemed about to warp.
He made no attempt to conceal the presence of a living person. The instant he stepped inside, the ghosts shrieked and cheered, and thousands upon thousands of Fierce Baleful Beasts hurled themselves at him in a crazed, unending rush.
"Monsters and fiends, you dare bar my way?"
Holding the Dao Register in his right hand, Fuli Zi did not even lift his eyelids, utterly dismissive of this former foundation of the [Ghost Dao].
He did not even need to circulate his Law Power or release profound light. The protective spiritual radiance of the Seven Radiances Primordial Stars Dharma Robe and the Wish-Fulfilling Lotus Jeweled Crown alone swept away wave after wave of vicious ghosts formed from Yin Qi, reducing them to wisps of smoke in an instant.
"The conception of these eighteen levels of the Underworld Office was truly exquisite beyond compare. Unfortunately, a 'place of life and death,' a 'seat of reincarnation,' touches the very heart of what the True Lords most taboo."
Fuli Zi shook his head with a soft chuckle, a hint of regret
