One Sweep of the Banner, Ten Thousand Ghosts Vanquished! The Underworld Raises Its Banner Again!

The Divine Realm, Asura God Temple.

Facing the evil souls that filled the sky within the heavenly screen, Yu Xiaogang gave a cold snort, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"Hmph, they've certainly made quite a spectacle."

"But we'll have to wait for the final outcome to see what these evil souls are really capable of!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke lightly, but none of the Shrek Seven Devils in the hall agreed with him.

They had witnessed the terror of the Underworld firsthand, and they knew better than anyone that Black and White Impermanence were no ordinary gods.

Especially Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo.

The current Ghost Douluo not only possessed God King Level strength, but also wielded an enhanced Soul-Summoning Banner.

Against such a formidable enemy, let alone these evil souls of unknown origin, even some of the Divine Realm's gods might not come away unscathed!

Xiao Wu gazed at the heavenly screen, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Brother, do you think Ghost Douluo can win?"

Tang San did not answer immediately.

His deep eyes were fixed on the black tide of souls in the heavenly screen, his expression unusually grave.

Only after a moment did Tang San slowly speak.

"We'll know soon enough whether he can win."

"But, teacher, we have to prepare for the worst."

At that, Tang San turned to Yu Xiaogang. His voice held less of its usual blind confidence and more of a rare caution.

"The Divine Realm can't withstand any more upheaval."

"We need time to recover, and we need to reassess our overall strength. The Underworld's foundations run far deeper than we imagined. If we continue to underestimate them, we'll only pay a greater price."

"So the most important thing for us now is to grow stronger!"

"Only when we've truly restored the Divine Realm's strength will we be qualified to stand against the Underworld!"

When he finished, the Asura God Temple grew quieter.

Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance and nodded.

Though they were also unwilling to admit the Divine Realm's current predicament, the facts were before their eyes. What Tang San had suggested was indeed the safest course.

Against a behemoth like the Underworld, even the slightest underestimation could become a fatal opening.

Yu Xiaogang listened to his disciple, his expression turning slightly displeased.

After all, he had just been looking forward to Ghost Douluo being devoured by ten thousand ghosts, yet Tang San was already considering how to deal with the Underworld.

That made his earlier judgment seem somewhat ridiculous.

Even so, Yu Xiaogang ultimately offered no further objection.

As Tang San's teacher, Yu Xiaogang naturally understood the pressure his disciple was under.

Besides, Tang San's words were not without reason.

The Divine Realm truly needed time to recover.

"Very well."

Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

"In that case, let's first see just what Ghost Douluo is capable of!"

Despite his words, his gaze never left the heavenly screen.

After all, if Ghost Douluo really did fall to those evil souls, it might not be a bad thing for the Divine Realm!

Douluo Star.

Above the ruins of Spirit City, black clouds loomed over the city, and the cries of ghosts shook the heavens.

Endless evil souls converged from every direction, layer upon layer, like a black ocean devouring heaven and earth.

They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, letting out shrill howls as their scarlet eyes fixed on the Soul-Summoning Banner in Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo's hand.

The pressure that came from the depths of their souls made these evil souls feel a threat unlike any they had ever known.

And so they charged madly, trying to use their superior numbers to engulf Black Impermanence completely!

Yet faced with such a force, Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo did not even frown.

He merely raised his right hand slowly.

In his palm, Netherworld Divine Power abruptly boiled over!

"Come, then!"

His low shout rang across the sky.

Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo turned his wrist, and the ink-black Soul-Summoning Banner immediately expanded in the wind!

The banner, originally only a little over a zhang across, covered a vast stretch of sky in the blink of an eye.

Countless Netherworld patterns lit up across its surface in succession, as though ancient laws that had slumbered through endless ages had finally awakened at this moment.

Immediately afterward, Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo swung the Soul-Summoning Banner fiercely.

"Suppress!"

At that single word, heaven and earth abruptly changed color!

Endless Yin God Power burst forth from the Soul-Summoning Banner, instantly forming a black vortex that stretched across the heavens!

The vortex was unfathomably deep, like a black hole connected to the depths of the Netherworld.

A terrifying suction force spread madly in every direction, centered on the Soul-Summoning Banner!

The charging evil souls immediately fell into chaos.

The evil souls at the very front did not even have time to let out a second howl before that force tore them from their places, turning them into streaks of black light that plunged straight into the Soul-Summoning Banner!

The evil souls right behind them were even more powerless to resist.

They struggled madly, reaching out with pitch-black claws to grab their fellows around them, but no matter how they resisted, they could not stop that terrifying suction.

The horrific sight of ten thousand ghosts surging forward gradually turned into a one-sided suppression once the Soul-Summoning Banner unfurled!

Those evil souls, once so vicious and arrogant, now seemed to have encountered their natural enemy.

The resentment they had been so proud of rapidly crumbled before the Netherworld Divine Power.

The Yin Qi they depended on for survival was mercilessly devoured by the Soul-Summoning Banner.

No matter how they howled or struggled, they could not escape the fate of being forcibly drawn in!

The so-called assault of ten thousand ghosts had failed to last even a moment before Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo!

"Roar-!"

The last group of evil souls let out unwilling roars, attempting to join forces and break through the black vortex.

But Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo merely pressed the Soul-Summoning Banner downward once more.

In an instant, the Netherworld Laws descended with a thunderous crash!

Countless chains reached out from the void, binding the evil souls fast.

The next instant, every evil soul was dragged into the Soul-Summoning Banner and vanished without a trace.

The cries of ghosts between heaven and earth stopped abruptly.

The black tide of souls that had blotted out the sky also dispersed completely in a few short moments!

Only the rolling dark clouds drifted slowly overhead, as though the assault of ten thousand ghosts, enough to chill the hearts of all living beings, had never happened.

Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo slowly withdrew the Soul-Summoning Banner.

The banner swayed gently, shrinking back to its usual size and settling into his palm.

The entire process had been swift and decisive, without the slightest wasted motion.

Ten thousand ghosts vanquished!

One banner suppressed the world!

The sight plunged the people of Douluo Star watching the heavenly screen into a deathly silence.

Then deafening cries of astonishment erupted!

"It's over?!"

"It ended that quickly?!"

"Those evil souls filled the whole sky just now! I thought Ghost Douluo would have a bitter fight, but he collected them all with one Soul-Summoning Banner?"

"Heavens! Is this the power of a God King?"

Countless Soul Masters stared in dumbfounded silence.

Earlier, they had still been worried that Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo might be devoured by ten thousand ghosts.

After all, there had been so many evil souls that their densely packed figures had nearly covered the entire sky.

But who could have imagined that, against such terrifying enemies, Black Impermanence had used only one move!

He had not even met with a decent counterattack!

Before the Soul-Summoning Banner, the so-called assault of ten thousand ghosts had practically been a feast delivered to its doorstep!

"That's terrifying..."

A high-level Soul Master murmured to himself, his gaze filled with awe as he looked at the heavenly screen.

"If he can easily suppress even evil souls like those, just how strong has Black Impermanence become?"

No one could answer.

But everyone understood one thing.

Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo was no longer the Titled Douluo they remembered.

He was a God King from the Underworld!

A Netherworld ghost god who wielded the Soul-Summoning Banner and could suppress ten thousand ghosts!

Above the ruins of Spirit City, White Impermanence Yue Guan watched the scene and slowly nodded.

Yue Guan naturally had ample confidence in his old friend's strength.

The result before him had not exceeded his expectations.

"Old Ghost, it seems your Soul-Summoning Banner really is much more formidable than before."

Yue Guan smiled and shook his head, lightly twirling the Mourning Staff in his hand.

"So many evil souls, and they couldn't even give you a chance to stretch your muscles."

Hearing this, Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo snorted coldly.

"Mere evil souls dared to act so brazenly before me?"

"If the Great Emperor had not ordered me to establish an outpost with this place as its foundation, why would I have needed to act personally?"

His words fully displayed the majesty of a God King.

Yue Guan could not help laughing when he heard them.

"All right, Old Ghost."

"You've only just reshaped your body. Don't be so quick to put on airs."

Their exchange lent the previously grim, murderous atmosphere some of the ease of old friends reunited.

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue gazed at the heavenly screen, already too excited to speak.

Having witnessed Black Impermanence suppress ten thousand ghosts with a single Soul-Summoning Banner, Qian Renxue finally understood why her grandfather and mother held the Underworld in such high regard.

Such power was enough to give Spirit Hall the support it needed to rise again!

More importantly, Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo were both still here.

Those who had once protected Spirit Hall had not truly departed.

As long as they gathered together again, Spirit Hall would never remain silent forever!

Qian Renxue slowly raised her head and looked at the sky, which was gradually clearing, hope rekindling in her eyes.

Fengdu Grand Hall.

When the scene of ten thousand ghosts being vanquished appeared on the heavenly screen, the gods of the Underworld all showed expressions of satisfaction.

Qian Daoliu stroked his beard and smiled, while Bibi Dong gave a slight nod.

In their view, Black Impermanence's action had not only demonstrated the Soul-Summoning Banner's power, but also proclaimed the Underworld's foundations to all of Douluo Star.

Chen Yuan, seated upright upon the throne, also showed a faint smile.

"Not bad."

"You truly are worthy of being a ghost god of my Underworld."

Chen Yuan's voice was calm, yet it carried unquestionable authority.

"What do a mere ten thousand evil ghosts amount to?"

With that single sentence, he set the tone for Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo's action.

In the eyes of the Great Emperor of Fengdu, the assault of ten thousand ghosts was no more than a small test.

What was truly worth anticipating was the plan the Underworld was about to unfold in the mortal world!

As Chen Yuan spoke, the many ghost gods in the hall bowed.

They all understood that, from this moment on, the Underworld would no longer be confined to the Netherworld.

The mortal world would become territory upon which the Underworld would truly set foot!

Beneath the heavenly screen on Douluo Star, Black Impermanence Ghost Douluo and White Impermanence Yue Guan stood side by side.

One black and one white, the two figures bathed in Netherworld divine light.

Their gazes swept over the ruined Spirit City, as though they could see a future in which these ruins rose again.

The next moment, Black and White Impermanence raised their heads together, their voices carrying boundless divine majesty as they rang throughout heaven and earth!

"From this day forth-"

"Our Underworld shall officially rebuild in the mortal world!"
