As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1623 - 427: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcome the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God Who Believes in Me...
Previously on As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life...
Something feels off!
But what's truly off here?!
Mr. Lian's gaze tightened, his face shifting in shock.
His forehead twitched, sending his Heaven and Earth Soul surging skyward all at once, yet...
As soon as it climbed over the tent, it encountered a grid of intersecting patterns like a chessboard. An overwhelming power erupted from that board, brutally pinning down his Heaven and Earth Soul, preventing any escape whatsoever.
Mr. Lian's heart pounded wildly, plummeting into despair.
He noticed Grandmaster Huang Mei advancing, materializing next to him, while the Buddha Palm descended onto Mr. Lian's shoulder.
Mr. Lian possessed solid cultivation, yet against a powerhouse like Huang Mei, who stood at the pinnacle of both the Heavenly Gate and Great God List, it amounted to little more than dust...
"State Preceptor! Are you turning traitor?!"
Mr. Lian's tone grew fierce, bellowing with fury.
Yet...
In the instant that followed, Mr. Lian sensed his throat gripped tight, silencing his sharp cry before it could escape.
For...
Right by his side, a dark void portal materialized from thin air, as National Master Xie Yushen lightly fanned himself with his feather fan.
The sign atop the portal bore the words "Fengdu".
Creak...
The portal creaked open gradually.
A wave of blistering heat billowed and churned within the tent.
Creak——
Remote, timeless, eerily quiet, blazing...
Out of the profoundly shadowy portal.
A silhouette emerged step by step, its footfalls unadorned and steady, hammering directly into Mr. Lian's chest.
A horrifying Death Qi erupted alongside eerie spectral flames!
The colossal weight of the Heaven and Earth Will crashed down like a massive peak sliced apart and collapsing.
Mr. Lian found himself gasping for air, utterly stifled.
"The... Underworld..."
In that instant, Mr. Lian's thoughts emptied out.
His entire being seemed dunked into a frozen New Year's lake, ice seeping into his bones, his mind turning to a solid block, incapable of any thought.
He stood completely stunned...
Why had the Underworld suddenly manifested near the State Preceptor?
And why was Grandmaster Huang Mei aligning with the Underworld?
Was it possible...
That the State Preceptor and Grandmaster Huang Mei both belonged to the Underworld?!
But there was no chance for further reflection, as the atmospheric pressure intensified into pure dread!
His eyes bulged wide with terror, paralyzed beneath Grandmaster Huang Mei's restraint.
In helpless dread and shock, he observed the form stepping from Mo City Fengdu, gradually coming into clear view.
Is that... is that even a person?!
The black robe billowed, its sleeves whipping about savagely, slashing through emptiness like a slashing sword.
However, the head was consumed by violet flames, warping the space around it, searing the heavens and earth, as though incinerating all worldly impurities.
Yet...
Beneath the veil of those violet fires gleamed a golden skull!
What sort of blaze was this, that a mere look made it seem ready to devour his soul, draining his very essence...
Mr. Lian knew Divine Tribulation Cultivators well enough!
Like Grandmaster Zhao Beidou of the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, who had graced the Imperial Palace on multiple occasions—Mr. Lian had been lucky to encounter him and had witnessed that chilling White Netherworld Tribulation Fire in all its menace...
However, this current violet flame dwarfed the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire, radiating an aura of profound dread!
Who could this be?!
Did the Underworld... did the Underworld conceal such a being?!
The violet flames danced, the silhouette exuding dread and majesty, framed by the dark portal, where it seemed myriad lost souls howled, the gates of Hell flung open, hordes of spectral horrors charging out unchecked.
Accompanied by Underworld Yama, Bull Demon, Horse Face, Divine Monkey... every manner of infernal fiend from the Earthly Hells, their forms contorted, resembling vengeful wraiths rising to corrupt the realm!
Mr. Lian's frame shook uncontrollably, and he instantly spotted National Master Xie Yushen, spotted Grandmaster Huang Mei.
Their forms warped too, flesh tearing and blood spraying, faces twisted in savagery, as if morphed into demons of the abyss!
Meanwhile, National Master Xie Yushen and Grandmaster Huang Mei, with zealous devotion and deference, cupped their hands in greeting.
"Underworld Xie Yushen!"
"Underworld Huang Mei!"
"Welcome, Ghost Emperor!"
Mr. Lian slumped to the floor.
He had shockingly beheld in the depths of the Underworld...
An entity surpassing even King Yan!
Ah ah ah ah——
What merits or abilities do I even have?!
