Chapter 1310: 1203: Storming the Underworld Royal City

Underworld King City! During the battle between Xue Rengui and the Lord of the Nine Capitals.

Ba Jie also led an army to the old lair of the Lord of the Nine Capitals.

"Attack!"

Standing at the forefront of the army, Ba Jie scrutinized the imposing city before him and the statue of Yan Wang towering at its center, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Boom!

A terrifying aura surged skyward.

The trusted aide of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang moved upon command, arranged formations, gathered the souls of the army, and launched a charge with overwhelming force.

"Enemy attack, defend!"

Meanwhile, within the Underworld King City came an angry shout, followed by the flickering light of formations as the protective formation of the city was activated.

On the pitch-black walls, numerous figures appeared, wielding weapons and exuding powerful auras. They were the elite troops of the Lord of the Nine Capitals, stirring up the winds and clouds.

However, their numbers were relatively small, only numbering ten million soldiers!

Logically, as the main base of the Lord of the Nine Capitals, the Underworld King City should have been heavily guarded, with many powerful individuals remaining.

But in reality, it was quite the opposite.

Since the ’Sky-Breaking Era’, the Lord of the Nine Capitals had been the ruler of the netherworld, rising above all beings, with no external threats, thus lowering their guard.

They never expected the Underworld King City to be under attack.

Therefore, only a single Quasi-Saint was left in command!

"Quickly report to the Lord of the Nine Capitals and lead the army back for aid!"

On the castle tower, the elder of the Yin Tian Mansion looked at the enemy forces outside the city with a grave expression and hurriedly commanded.

Aid!

He knew that solely relying on the garrison within the city, it was impossible to fend off the enemy’s attack; the city was bound to be breached sooner or later.

He could only pray now that the enemy wasn’t too strong, allowing him to hold out until reinforcements arrived.

"As you command!"

A martial artist from the Yin Tian Mansion saluted and soared into the void.

However, he was just about to fly out of the Underworld King City when a powerful attack struck him, causing his body to explode, his soul dispersing instantly.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the elder of the Yin Tian Mansion cursed inwardly, filled with both anger and a bit of fear.

A Dao Saint!

He was certain that the one who attacked just now was a powerful Dao Saint!

The enemy’s strength was even more formidable than he imagined.

"Release the arrows!"

But soon, the elder of the Yin Tian Mansion calmed down, seeing the enemy army getting closer to the city, he commanded in a deep voice.

The enemy was strong, but he could not surrender without a fight.

Whiz whiz whiz!

Countless arrows pierced the sky, turning into a cloud of black in the air, and then fell like raindrops, dense and sharp, piercing through vast voids.

Apart from being sharp, these arrows also carried the power of the Yin God, capable of striking directly at the soul.

Even a single arrow could kill an Immortal King!

"Defend!"

Faced with the widespread arrows, the trusted aide of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang showed no panic. They raised their shields and continued charging forward.

Clang clang clang...

With the sound of clear and crisp noises,

the shield atop the trusted aides of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang was filled with arrows, yet aside from a few minor injuries, everyone else was unscathed, fiercely charging forward.

After several rounds of arrow showers, the trusted aides of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang arrived outside the Underworld King City.

"Slash!"

At this moment, Ba Jie launched an attack, waving his right hand, and the Yan Wang whip appeared, wielding divine power, transcending heaven and earth.

He grasped the Yan Wang whip and lashed it with force, a black whip force emerged, with immense power, splitting the netherworld sky in two, and crashing heavily onto the Underworld King City.

Boom!

The ground shook violently, and the numerous formations outside the Underworld King City shattered like paper upon contact with the whip force.

Finally, the whip force landed on the Underworld King City, directly destroying the city, countless palaces shattered, reduced to ruins.

Amidst the dust.

Only the nine statues of Yan Wang stood, unharmed.

"Still intact?"

Ba Jie glanced at the statues, displeased.

He was the legitimate Yan Wang, seeing fake ones, it would be strange if he was happy.

Thinking of this, Ba Jie summoned the image of King Yama, again wielding the Yan Wang whip, augmented by the divine power of Yan Wang, and fiercely lashed out.

Boom!

This time, the nine statues of Yan Wang didn’t escape their fate, cracking with countless fissures, stones falling off, revealing statues made of celestial jade.

Ba Jie was stunned.

More statues?

Is this a nesting doll scenario?

He inspected the newly emerged statues, which stood on three thousand avenues, donned in Taoist robes, with white hair and deep gazes, akin to the beginning of the Tao of all things in the world.

"Isn’t this Hongjun?"

Ba Jie withdrew his gaze, his expression turning peculiar, it was unexpected that the true forms of the nine statues of Yan Wang were actually the Taoist Ancestor Hongjun.

But quickly, he realized what was happening!

Hongjun probably did this to collect the power of faith!

The Lord of the Nine Capitals embodied as Yan Wang, ruling the netherworld, receiving the worship of countless creatures therein, generating a tremendous amount of power of faith.

Undoubtedly, this power of faith would be absorbed by Hongjun.

Poor Lord of the Nine Capitals, tirelessly working for the Taoist Ancestor, yet never seeing a shred of the power of faith.

What a waste of the Yin God position!

"Kill!"

On the ground, the trusted aides of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang roared battle cries, their shouts vast and unending like a black ocean, charging into the Underworld King City, unleashing fierce slaughter.

Faced with the overwhelmingly powerful and numerous trusted aides of the Fifth Hall of Yan Wang, the demoralized defenders of the Underworld King City stood no chance, fleeing in panic.

But where could they flee to?

They could not escape death.

"Time to meet the Tianming!"

Ba Jie looked around, with vast divine thoughts sweeping, discovering a mysterious place deep under the Underworld King City, imprisoning many beings.

With a slight smile, he transformed into a stream of light and entered underground.

Leaving only the nine statues of Hongjun, standing amidst the ruins, covered in dust, losing their divinity.

A few moments later.

Ba Jie arrived at the mysterious location, surrounded by the power of Yin God, forming a massive prison, even a martial artist in the Pre-saint Realm could not penetrate with brute force.

But to Ba Jie, this was no problem.

With a wave of his right hand, the surrounding power of Yin God dissipated, revealing a spacious area, the ground studded with stone pillars, numbering tens of thousands, each pillar bound with chains holding a person.

Due to prolonged imprisonment, most had already fallen unconscious, with only a few awake hanging their heads, immensely weakened.

So weak that even upon Ba Jie’s arrival, they didn’t raise their heads.

"Oh!"

Ba Jie’s deep gaze swept over everyone, muttering to himself: "There really are Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Black and White Impermanence, but they aren’t my previous life colleagues!"

He wasn’t surprised.

His presence in the myriad worlds was thanks to the system.

These so-called ’Tianming’ ought to be gods birthed by the netherworld, unfortunately born in the wrong era, facing the tyrannical rule of Hongjun, resulting in imprisonment here.

"Let’s take them away first!"

"Once the Qin Dynasty unifies the netherworld, they will be of great use!"

Ba Jie smiled slightly, swinging the Yan Wang whip, destroying the chains on everyone, taking them all away.

Once the Qin Dynasty unifies the netherworld, it is inevitable to establish a Hell in the netherworld.

These Tianmings are gods of the netherworld, and as long as they submit, they will become powerful allies, capable of establishing reincarnation, maintaining the function of the Hell.

As for those who do not submit,

they shall disappear forever!
