"Everyone, are you all ready?"Xue Rengui stood on the eastern altar, body tall and straight, dressed in a black king’s robe, and asked Bao Zheng and the others.
"We can begin!"
Bao Zheng, Dong He and the others nodded, their expressions solemn.
Condense the King of Hell rules!
For them, this was a major event, marking that they could, with orthodox status, administer the Underworld.
Xue Rengui nodded, and with a thought, the void behind him split open. The Revolving King God appeared, short beard on his face, both hands holding a hu tablet, divine might boundless, supreme above all.
"King Qin Guang God, manifest!"
"King Chujiang God, manifest!"
"..."
"Equality King God, manifest!"
After that, nine resounding voices rang out in succession, echoing above the Underworld.
With each voice that fell, a supreme God manifested.
Very quickly, ten King of Hell gods were standing above the firmament. Power of the Yin Gods coiled around them, transforming into one hell after another, of all sizes, endlessly terrifying.
"The Kings of Hell!"
"They really are supreme Yin Gods!"
Below the altar, besides the trusted aides of the Ten Halls of Hell, there also stood a group of special beings. Their gazes focused on the King of Hell deities, whispering among themselves.
These people were the "Tianming ones" that Bao Zheng had rescued in Pluto City, who had now joined the Qin Dynasty Fortune Court.
Originally, they had felt some resistance toward joining the Qin Dynasty Fortune Court.
But now, upon seeing that Bao Zheng and the others were Kings of Hell, their already limited resistance instantly vanished like smoke, replaced by boundless respect and worship.
Mortals worship gods!
Lesser gods worship higher gods!
Boom!
With the appearance of the Ten Halls of Hell, the enslavement rules spread throughout the Underworld surfaced, incomparably violent, exuding terrifying pressure, suppressing toward the altar.
Great swaths of void shattered, as if the sky were collapsing.
This was the backlash of the old rules!
"King of Hell rules, emerge!"
Xue Rengui raised his head to look at the firmament. The "Reincarnation God Seat" at his brow blazed with light, shooting out a jet-black divine radiance, incomparably sharp, directly piercing through the enslavement rules.
The terrifying pressure dispersed like a receding tide.
At this, Xue Rengui felt no surprise. How could the power of rules withstand the power of a god seat?
At the same time, Hongjun, who was battling Gui Guzi, had a drastic change of expression.
He sensed that the rules he had created had opened up a hole.
"The Underworld!"
Hongjun thought for a moment, his pupils contracting. He instantly understood where the problem lay, and his whole demeanor turned flustered.
If the Qin Dynasty overturned the Underworld’s rules, it would definitely impact his strength.
Thus causing him to lose this battle.
"Burn essence blood!"
Hongjun ground his teeth and growled in a low voice. On the surface of his blood-colored body, red flames ignited, turning into pure power that once again elevated his strength.
He was going to stake everything!
No matter what, he had to kill Gui Guzi before the Underworld rules were overturned.
Boom!
A battle power at the peak of the rule domain erupted from within Hongjun, throwing the myriad Dao into chaos and collapsing heaven and earth.
At this moment, he had already become a man of fire, looking extremely frightening.
His pair of eyes had also turned blood-red.
Like a demon’s gaze.
"Die!"
Hongjun roared, flipped his fingers, and slashed out an even more powerful Sword Qi, forcing Gui Guzi back and beginning to gain the upper hand.
"A final frenzy, is it?"
After stabilizing his body, Gui Guzi did not panic. Instead, a faint smile appeared.
He knew Hongjun was almost at his limit.
The Underworld!
Bao Zheng, Lu You and the others also released their corresponding King of Hell rules. Divine Power soared to the heavens, piercing through heaven and earth.
"To report to Your Majesty, this humble minister Bao Zheng wishes to establish the Yama King rules, to found the Fifth Hall of the Netherworld in the Underworld, guarding the rivers and mountains of the Qin Dynasty. I beg Your Majesty’s permission!"
As the foremost of the Ten Halls of Hell, Bao Zheng faced the altar and spoke in a loud voice.
"To report to Your Majesty, this humble minister Xue Rengui wishes to establish the Revolving King rules, to found the Tenth Hall of the Netherworld in the Underworld, guarding the rivers and mountains of the Qin Dynasty. I beg Your Majesty’s permission!"
"To report to Your Majesty, this humble minister Jiang Ziwen wishes to establish the King Qin Guang rules, to found the First Hall of the Netherworld in the Underworld..."
"To report to Your Majesty, this humble minister Li Wen wishes to establish the King Chujiang rules..."
"To report to Your Majesty, this humble minister Yu Yin..."
One booming voice after another, laden with Rule Power, crossed the Yin-Yang dimensions, echoing above the great world of the Nine Provinces Heaven, falling into the ears of the Qin Dynasty ruler and ministers.
"Granted!"
The majestic voice of Qin Wudao rang out, transmitting into the Underworld.
On the central altar, the imperial edict that hovered in midair slowly unfurled. Golden characters flew out, dragon roars resounding, imperial might surging.
The contents of this edict, in general, were the investiture of the Ten Halls of Hell.
"We obey!"
Bao Zheng, Xue Rengui and the others saluted.
Boom!
The Yin-Yang dimensions trembled as ten white pillars of Fortune descended from the heavens, falling into the bodies of the ten Bao Zheng and companions.
At the same time, within the rule system of the Qin Dynasty Fortune Court, the rules of the Ten Halls of Hell were integrated. Even beneath the Fortune golden dragon, a cluster of auspicious clouds appeared, belonging to the King of Hell rules.
"King of Hell rules, establish!"
Xue Rengui stood up and shouted loudly.
A terrifying aura burst out from within him, transforming in the firmament into one Yin God phantom after another, countless in number, fully one thousand four hundred strands.
These Yin God phantoms were the Rule Power!
One thousand four hundred rules!
Bang bang bang...
Immediately afterward, nine more awe-inspiring auras rose to the sky, turning into Yin God phantoms, some more, some less—those with more reached three hundred, those with fewer also had a hundred.
In terms of quantity, not that many!
But if this scene were to spread, it would absolutely overturn the current martial civilization, stirring up a huge uproar and leaving countless experts dumbfounded.
Because the cultivation of Bao Zheng, Dong He and the others had not yet broken through to the Unity Realm Stage.
Strictly speaking, they were still at the Pre-saint Realm!
One must know, the Pre-saint Realm was merely the first step into the power of the Saint Realm, yet they were able to leap over three major great realms and condense the Rule Power that only martial artists of the rule domain possessed.
"Suppress!"
The Ten Halls of Hell roared in unison, mobilizing the power of the King of Hell rules and suppressing toward the enslavement rules.
Above the firmament, the power of the enslavement rules kept shrinking.
If at this very moment some mighty existence were looking down from above the sky, they would discover that a hole had appeared high above the Underworld and was continuously expanding.
That was the demise of a set of rules!
And it also signified the birth of a new set of rules!
"We still can’t completely annihilate the enslavement rules!"
Bao Zheng raised his head and watched for a while, his brows creasing slightly.
He discovered that the further it went, the stronger the resistance of the enslavement rules became.
"That’s normal; after all, Hongjun is not dead yet!"
Xue Rengui’s expression was calm, not surprised. Then his tone shifted as he said, "However, as long as we establish the Five Elements Reincarnation, we can completely seize control of the Underworld and dissolve the enslavement rules!"
As the first rules created for the Underworld, the enslavement rules, though relatively recent, wielded enormous influence.
Therefore, to dissolve the enslavement rules, the best method was to change the Underworld itself!
And the Five Elements Reincarnation was the core of the Underworld!
"So that’s it!"
Upon hearing this, Bao Zheng fell into contemplation.
Reincarnation!
It was the transition between life and death!
And also an indispensable existence for maintaining the operation of the world!
