Chapter 282 The Netherworld is Strict and Difficult, the Human Emperor is Obstructed, and the Yellow
After Huang Tian left, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, waved his hand lightly, and a slightly blurry figure appeared in front of him.
This figure was none other than Ancestor Hongyun.
To be precise, it was transformed from a wisp of the true spirit of the Old Ancestor Hongyun.
Earlier, Hongyun was intercepted by the demon clan's Kunpeng and others, and in the end, he had no choice but to self-destruct, leaving only a trace of his true spirit.
Over the years, Zhen Yuanzi has been constantly nurturing Hongyun's true spirit, hoping that one day he can revive Hongyun.
Upon seeing Hongyun's true spirit manifest, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly and asked in confusion:
"Second brother."
Why did you make me agree to the Emperor's request just now?
Previously, Huang Tianxiang invited Zhen Yuanzi to join him in fighting against the demon race.
Although the matter of the Old Ancestor Hongyun made Zhen Yuanzi resent the demon race.
However, Zhen Yuanzi felt it was necessary to carefully consider the matter of joining forces with the human race.
Who would have thought that at the crucial moment, Hongyun's true spirit transmitted a message to him, instructing him to agree to Huangtian's request.
Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi's question, Hongyun's true spirit responded:
"Big brother."
"I sense a glimmer of opportunity appearing among the human race."
"Perhaps... I can be reincarnated as a human through this."
"Brother, as you know, the Human Emperor Huang Tian is a disciple of Niu Ben, the senior brother of the Three Religions."
"And Niu Ben has already seized control of the underworld."
"If I want to reincarnate, I must get Niu Ben's approval."
After Hongyun Zhenling's explanation, Zhen Yuanzi immediately understood and nodded slightly, saying:
"I see."
"If that's the case, then we really need to be on good terms with this Emperor."
……
On the other side, after leaving Wuzhuang Temple, Huangtian did not rush back to the human race, but instead headed towards the newly opened Reincarnation Underworld.
He approached both the Wu Clan and Zhen Yuanzi, who both agreed to lend a hand when the human race attacked the demon race.
Besides these two helpers, Huangtian also needs to find the most important person.
That was his master, Niu Ben!
In Huang Tian's view, if Niu Ben were willing to take action, he would not be afraid of facing even the Demon Emperor Di Jun of the demon race.
Soon, Huang Tian arrived at the entrance to the Netherworld.
Looking out, at the boundary between Yin and Yang, a ghostly aura filled the air, and a massive portal appeared before the heavens.
"Is this the entrance to the underworld?"
Huang Tian stood outside the entrance to the Netherworld, somewhat shocked.
After all, the Netherworld had only been open for a short time, and this was Huangtian's first time here.
Just as Huang Tian stopped to observe, a commotion suddenly came from inside the entrance.
Following the sound, two tall figures emerged from the thick gray mist, their bodies radiating a murderous aura.
The two figures were a bull's head and a horse's face.
These two were chosen by Niu Ben from the Niu and Ma clans to serve as the Underworld Marshals.
At this moment, the Ox-Headed Yin General held a steel fork in his hand, while the Horse-Face Yin General held a chain.
Although their cultivation level wasn't very high, only at the Celestial Immortal realm.
But when facing the Emperor Huangtian, there was not a trace of fear on his face.
This is the underworld, independent of the primordial world, a realm of its own.
And this underworld is protected by the law of reincarnation!
They were appointed as Yin Marshals by the Emperor Niu Ben of Fengdu, representing the order and majesty of the underworld, and naturally would not be afraid of those who came with high cultivation.
After appearing, both Ox-Head and Horse-Face stared wide-eyed at Huang Tian with imposing aura.
As he watched, the bull-headed man asked in a deep voice:
"What kind of creature is this?"
"How dare you trespass into the underworld?"
"This is a sacred place; no unauthorized personnel are permitted to enter. Go back now!"
As he spoke, Ox-Head waved to Huang Tian, signaling him to turn around and leave.
Upon hearing this, he did not look down on the Ox-Head and Horse-Face despite their low cultivation level. Instead, he smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said:
"The two of you."
"I am Huangtian of the Human Race, and I have important matters to discuss with the Great Emperor of Fengdu. I hope you two will convey my message."
Upon hearing what Huang Tian said, Ox-Head and Horse-Face were taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Huang Tian a few more times.
They naturally knew about the human race, as it was a race created by the sage Nuwa. In addition, Taishang, the head of the Three Pure Ones, also became a sage by establishing the Human Religion.
The Human Emperor is the supreme ruler of the human race.
Although shocked by Huangtian's identity, Ox-Head and Horse-Face remained wary and hesitated whether to inform him.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from not far away.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see a cloud of gray mist surging.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a dark black robe appeared.
The visitor was none other than Huanglong Zhenren of the Chan Sect.
After Niu Ben obtained the authority of the underworld, he selected troops from the three religions and brought them to serve in the underworld.
Among them, Huanglong Zhenren and Chijingzi of the Chan Sect were chosen to serve as the Southern Ghost Emperor and the Northern Ghost Emperor respectively after arriving in the Underworld.
Upon seeing Huanglong Zhenren appear, Ox-Head and Horse-Face immediately bowed and said in unison:
"Greetings, Ghost Emperor!"
Master Huanglong nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Huang Tian and said with a smile:
"The Human Emperor".
"Why don't you reveal your identity as the disciple of the eldest brother?"
"My senior brother has already learned of your arrival and specially ordered me to come and greet you. Please follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tian was filled with gratitude and thanked Huanglong Zhenren:
"Thank you for your help!"
He had just considered revealing that he was Niu Ben's disciple, but after thinking about it again, he dismissed the idea, feeling that it was better to flaunt this identity in public!
Then, Huanglong Zhenren did not delay and headed straight for Huangtian towards Fengdu City.
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Ox-Head and Horse-Face exchanged glances.
"The eldest brother's disciple?"
"The Yellow Dragon Ghost Emperor's senior brother... isn't that the Great Emperor of Fengdu?"
"My God! This Human Emperor is actually the Great Emperor's disciple?"
Horse-face cried out in surprise, only then realizing what was happening.
Upon hearing this, the bull-headed man raised his head smugly and said:
"How about it? Isn't our Bull King amazing?"
"Even the Human Emperor was his disciple!"
The creatures of the bull tribe still prefer to call Niu Ben "Great King," as it is more affectionate!
At this moment, Huanglong Zhenren led Niu Ben deep into the underworld.
This was also the first time Huang Tian had set foot in this mysterious and unpredictable underworld.
Along the way, one could see towering gates to the underworld, a long road to the Yellow Springs, and the foul smell of the River of Oblivion, where countless lonely ghosts, unable to be reborn, wailed and struggled.
When passing through the eighteen levels of hell, one can hear the agonizing screams and scenes of torture coming from each level.
Thrilled by knives and fire, subjected to boiling oil and ice caves...
Various forms of torture are used to punish different types of karma.
Those scenes were enough to make even Emperor Tian feel a chill run down his spine.
"This underworld truly has strict laws and orderly procedures, worthy of being called a sacred place of reincarnation."
Huang Tian couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Besides that, he also noticed it.
Although the underworld is gloomy and terrifying, it also possesses a solemn aura that maintains the balance of heaven and earth.
Before long, Huangtian, led by Huanglong Zhenren, arrived at the main hall of Fengdu City.
The main hall is constructed entirely of dark, ghostly stone, exuding an unparalleled majesty that suppresses all ghosts and rules over reincarnation.
At this moment, Niu Ben was sitting upright and waiting.
