It felt like crossing a barrier and arriving in another world.
It was deathly silent, empty, gloomy, terrifying, and filled with despair.
The surroundings were pitch black, with only eighteen giant pillars piercing the sky.
To the left, right, above, and behind, there was only endless darkness, while in front of him was an enormous high platform and a dark shadow whose features were completely obscured.
" Xu Long, human, twenty-one years old."
"You murdered 57,367,844 people in South Korea, 136,577,891 people in Japan, 1,295,692,503 people in Africa, and 23,645,549 people in the United States..."
"A total of 1.8796 billion innocent people were killed, indirectly causing 8.7 billion casualties..."
"When I was eighteen, I secretly touched my female classmate's breast..."
"At seventeen, I ate half a duck from my deskmate and even took all the bones to feed the dog..."
At sixteen years old...
"..."
"Your life has been filled with sins, your hands stained with blood, you have lost all conscience, committed countless evil deeds, and your sins are so grave that you should be cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, never to be reincarnated!"
"Please confess!"
A deep, resonant voice emanated from the high platform, as magnificent and vast as the might of heaven, carrying a captivating power that made one want to bow down and kneel.
"Those I have killed are all heinous criminals, deserving of a thousand deaths! My hands are stained with blood; it is the cheers of the innocent, the clarion call of justice! I am acting in accordance with the will of Heaven, upholding justice on its behalf; I am Saint walking among men, a true god who will save humanity!"
Xu Long snorted coldly, refusing to budge an inch.
"Right and wrong, good and evil, the Underworld has its own standards of judgment, and no one and nothing can escape judgment!"
The voice came again from the high platform. The dark figure stood up and looked down at Xu Long below, like a god high above, regarding all living beings as ants.
There was no emotional fluctuation, no bias, only coldness and indifference.
"Judgment in the Underworld? That's hilarious!"
Xu Long's face was full of sarcasm. "Those scum killed my compatriots, bullied my elders, stole my money, and destroyed my land. Their sins are heinous, their evil deeds are countless."
"I saw them displaying my State of China, and I saw their hypocritical sanctimonious behavior!"
"I saw them kill my fishermen at sea, and they wantonly slandered and attacked me at the Olympics. I saw their insidious and despicable nature!"
"I saw people ravaged by war weeping in despair, I saw only ruins left on the land, I saw my compatriots being used as experimental subjects like pigs in despair!"
"I heard the cries of the innocent, the roars of the martyrs, and the furious cries of fifty million wronged souls!"
Tell me, where is the judgment in the Underworld?
Xu Long roared, his murderous aura soaring to the sky, as if it were about to solidify.
All those whom Xu Long killed deserved to die.
Hanguo, Japan, the Rice Country...
And those chimpanzees and white pigs, they all deserve to be torn to pieces.
Xu Long felt no regret whatsoever; on the contrary, he was filled with exhilaration.
The revenge has been achieved, and the extermination of the enemy's entire race is exhilarating!
"Your hands are stained with blood, your sins are heinous, yet you dare to be so arrogant! You must not be allowed to live!"
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the shadow on the high platform was instantly enraged.
As soon as the words were spoken, an extremely terrifying aura pressed down.
Dense yin energy surged wildly, rapidly converging into the main hall.
Rumble!
The sound was deafening, like the roar of the heavens.
The pitch-black yin energy formed dark clouds, and sparks of electricity crackled as they pressed together.
This is Lightning Tribulation, a divine punishment, a punitive force against evildoers.
" Xu Long, below the stage, your sins are heinous, your heart is evil, yet you show no remorse. Instead, you are arrogant and domineering, showing contempt for the underworld and defying the might of Heaven. Therefore, you are cast into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, never to be reincarnated!"
Roars came from all directions, as if the heavens were truly enraged.
At the same time, the dark clouds above churned even more violently, and a huge, blazing white lightning dragon suddenly poked its head out before disappearing back into the clouds.
"You want to kill me? You think you can?"
Xu Long, wielding the World-Breaking Blade, was ready for battle.
He roughly understood the situation and had developed countermeasures.
The Heavenly Dao of Fengdu City has been killed, and all living beings here have disappeared.
The only thing left were those magical treasures.
Xu Long's purpose in coming to Fengdu City this time was naturally to obtain the magical treasure left behind by the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
He suspected that the dark figure above was one of them, judging the ghosts here in place of the Great Emperor.
"Stubborn! Foolish and arrogant! You're asking for death!"
Seeing that Xu Long not only did not surrender but also intended to put up a stubborn resistance, the shadowy figure on the stage was furious.
Rumble!
A deafening roar erupted, and the blazing white electric dragon descended from the sky, instantly engulfing Xu Long.
This is divine wrath, divine punishment, and the fury of the Great Emperor of Fengdu.
If the Great Emperor of Fengdu were alive, even Daluo Golden Immortal would not dare to be so arrogant.
But the Great Emperor of Fengdu had long since died, and the Daoist temple in Fengdu City was in ruins.
At this moment, what seemed like a terrifying attack was no different from taking a bath for Xu Long.
Heaven and Earth One Sword!
laugh!
The sword light burst forth from the blazing white lightning, instantly arriving before the dark clouds and slashing fiercely into them.
The Power of Oblivion protected Xu Long from being struck by lightning, and also released a portion of it to Body Tempering.
The sword light cleaved the dark clouds in the sky in two.
The power of thunder is divine punishment, but it also depends on who wields it.
If it were a supreme deity like the Dragon God of Leize, even the Jade Emperor would be instantly reduced to ashes.
However, if it were in the hands of a mere unclaimed magic weapon, its power would plummet, to the point that it wouldn't even be able to kill a Spirit Severing Stage.
Of course, the main reason is that this Spirit Severing Stage is not an ordinary Spirit Severing Stage, but a super strong person who can cross two major realms and fight head-on with Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert.
The Power of Oblivion was incredibly terrifying; after tearing apart the dark clouds, it began to erode in two directions.
Almost visibly, the crack in the massive dark cloud was rapidly expanding, and within ten breaths at most, it would completely Oblivion the entire mist.
"What happened? Is that all?"
I thought the dark figure would be furious after such provocation, but to my surprise, it not only didn't react at all, it even disappeared.
"Heh, you say I have blood on my hands, that I'm utterly wicked, but why don't you put me on trial? Frankly, I'm nothing but a cowardly bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong!"
Xu Long pointed to the sky and cursed, expecting the dark figure to appear, but it seemed to have really run away, without any reaction whatsoever.
"Tch, coward!"
With a disdainful flick of his finger, Xu Long walked towards the high platform ahead.
He suspected that the platform was a treasure, or at the very least a magical artifact, if his guess was correct.
