As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1623: Purgatory Opens, Earthly Hell’s Evil Welcome the Ghost Emperor; The State Preceptor Is the Imperial Court’s Loyal Dragon God Who Believe...
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
Something feels off!
Exactly what's off?!
Mr. Lian's gaze sharpened, his face twisting in shock.
His forehead twitched, and his Heaven and Earth Soul abruptly surged toward the heavens, yet...
The instant it ascended over the tent, it encountered a grid of interlocking patterns. An overwhelming power erupted from that grid, brutally pinning down his Heaven and Earth Soul, not allowing even the slightest escape.
Mr. Lian's heart pounded wildly, plummeting into despair.
He spotted Grandmaster Huang Mei advancing, materializing at his side, as the Buddha Palm descended onto Mr. Lian's shoulder.
Mr. Lian's cultivation level was impressive enough, but against a powerhouse like Huang Mei, who stood at the pinnacle of both the Heavenly Gate and Great God List, it paled in comparison...
"State Preceptor! Are you turning traitor?!"
Mr. Lian's tone turned fierce, bellowing in fury.
Yet...
In the following instant, Mr. Lian sensed his throat gripped tight, silencing his sharp cry completely.
For...
Right next to him, a dark void portal materialized from thin air, while National Master Xie Yushen lightly fanned himself with his feather fan.
The sign over the portal bore the words "Fengdu".
Creak...
The portal creaked open gradually.
A wave of intense heat billowed and churned within the tent.
Creak——
Far-off, timeless, eerily quiet, blazing...
Out from the pitch-black portal.
A silhouette gradually emerged, its footsteps echoing simply yet heavily, striking straight at Mr. Lian's heart.
A fearsome Death Qi erupted alongside eerie ghostly flames!
The immense weight of Heaven and Earth Will, akin to a colossal peak being cleaved apart, came crashing down.
Rendering Mr. Lian utterly unable to breathe.
"The... Underworld..."
In that instant, Mr. Lian's thoughts blanked 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 was completely stunned...
How could the Underworld manifest next to the State Preceptor?
And why was Grandmaster Huang Mei colluding with the Underworld?
Could it possibly be...
That the State Preceptor and Grandmaster Huang Mei are actually Underworld affiliates?!
But there was no chance for further reflection, as the atmospheric pressure intensified to horrifying levels!
His eyes bulged wide with terror, immobilized by Grandmaster Huang Mei's restraint.
In helpless dread and fright, he gazed at the figure stepping forth from Fengdu of Mo City, gradually taking shape before his eyes.
Is that... is that even a person?!
A dark robe billowed, its sleeves whipping fiercely, slicing through the emptiness like slashing swords.
However, the head was consumed by violet flames, warping the void, incinerating the heavens and earth, as though purging all the world's impurities.
Yet...
Beneath the veil of those violet fires hid a gleaming golden skull!
What sort of blaze is this, that merely looking at it makes his soul teeter on the brink of destruction, his very essence withering away...
Mr. Lian knew well about Divine Tribulation Cultivators!
Like Grandmaster Zhao Beidou of the Dragon Tiger Divine Sect, who had graced the Imperial Palace on multiple occasions, whom Mr. Lian had been lucky enough to encounter, and thus had witnessed the chilling White Netherworld Tribulation Fire...
But this current violet flame vastly outstripped the White Netherworld Tribulation Fire, carrying an aura of profound dread!
Who could this be?!
Does the Underworld... does the Underworld conceal such a being?!
The violet fire danced wildly, the figure exuding an awe-inspiring menace, framed by the dark portal, as though myriad tormented souls howled, Hell's gates flung open, hordes of spectral horrors surging out.
Accompanied by Underworld Yama, Bull Demon, Horse Face, Divine Monkey... every manner of Earthly Hell's fiends, their forms contorted, resembling vengeful wraiths rising to corrupt the realm!
Mr. Lian's body shook uncontrollably, and he instantly caught sight of National Master Xie Yushen, of Grandmaster Huang Mei.
Their forms warped grotesquely, flesh tearing apart, features turning savage, as if morphed into infernal demons!
Meanwhile, National Master Xie Yushen and Grandmaster Huang Mei, with fervent 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, deep within the Underworld...
An entity surpassing even King Yan!
Ah ah ah ah——
What merits or abilities do I even have?!
