The Big Lord Demon and the others were overjoyed when they saw the countless Resentful Spirits. The Resentful Spirits were also powerful too. They were highly motivated.

  It looked like the Ghastly Ghost King was more powerful than he seemed.

  ‘This is…… reliable!’


  However, the Big Lord Demon gradually lost his smile. His heart started to pound anxiously.

  ‘Is the Ghastly Ghost King planning to take over the Underworld?’


  He was a local. He naturally knew the Underworld, which was precisely why he was anxious. It seemed like things would not end well for anyone against the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld. Especially…… when he tried it himself.

  The Ghastly Ghost King just showed up and wanted to attack the Underworld. It was very inappropriate!

  He did not want to admit it, but it was a cruel fact.

  The Ghastly Ghost King sat on the throne. He was worshipped by countless Resentful Spirits. His aura was limitless. There were no eyeballs in his eye sockets. Instead, there were two emerald green flames. He looked down on the Big Lord Demon and asked, “Are you a Demon cultivator? Why did you come here?”


  The Big Lord Demon instantly replied, “I am the Big Lord Demon. Greetings to the Ghastly Ghost King. We are originally minions of Yan Zu. Yan Zu was defeated. So, I came here with the rest of the Demon army to serve you. I hope that you will accept us.”


  “I see.”


  The Ghastly Ghost King nodded and observed the Big Lord Demon. He casually said, “Your cultivation is lousy, but you wished to serve me, that means that you are someone who is aware of situations. You have intelligence. I am about to attack the Underworld, you all should tag along.”


  The Big Lord Demon hesitated. He forced himself to say, “Lord Ghost King, I think that a reckless attack…… is not a good move.”


  The fiery eyes of the Ghastly Ghost King suddenly ignited. “Oh? Why so?”


  “To be honest, I have been living in the eldritch world before it became the Area of the Gods. I’ve been through a lot.”


  The Big Lord Demon tried to form a sentence. He said, “This world is unimaginably weird and dangerous. Also, it’s extremely unfriendly. For example, Yan Zu was about to succeed, but he suddenly ran into the Deluxe Merit Saint. He lost all his hard work. Back then, I also lost a lot because of the Deluxe Merit Saint!”


  The Big Lord Demon recalled sad memories as he said it. He was genuinely angry and pained.

  The Ghastly Ghost King laughed, “Haha, good. I love challenges. I am more excited to hear you say that!”


  “Lord Ghost King, please reconsider! You really need a long-term plan for this. Safety first!”


  The Big Lord Demon tried his best to stop the Ghastly Ghost King. He wanted the Ghastly Ghost King to stop. He clenched his jaw and dropped the truth bomb, “Actually, I was quite unlucky. I followed several leaders with tragic endings.”


  “Haha, haha……”


  The Ghastly Ghost King was instantly entertained. He looked at the Big Lord Demon with sympathy. “I see. You are frightened because of your tragic past! No worries, never mind. You are unlucky because you are weak. But I am your leader now, you won’t be unlucky anymore!”


  The Big Lord Demon went paler when he said that. He had a bad feeling about this.

  He wanted to speak again, but the Ghastly Ghost King waved it off. “Tonight, I will make you confident again. It will be a beautiful victory! Just watch!”


  “Army, attack!”


  He commanded. All the Resentful Spirits immediately moved out towards the Underworld!

  Crossing the Underworld Gates was naturally a piece of cake for the Ghastly Ghost King.

  Ghosts were out that night. The Ghosts aura were soaring. There was a creepy energy that spread. It was as if the world went colder, everyone stayed inside.

  The Ghastly Ghost King sat on a litter. He was carried by four powerful Ghosts. He was an elite Ghost amongst Ghosts. No one dared to touch the sharp aura he emitted.

  He was confident for good reason.

  First of all, his confidence came from his powers. He felt like he was one step away from being a Realm Cultivator. He had three Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals as his Resentful Spirits. No one dared to underestimate him.

  Unless he interfered with the benefits of super bigshots, no one would dare cause trouble without a reason.

  Moreover, he was only going to attack the Underworld. It was a local force in the eldritch world, they probably had zero powerful cultivators.

  ‘How can I not win?’


  ‘Are there any reasons for losing?’


  ‘This battle will be a landslide.’


  As they moved, endless Ghost energy resonated with the Eighteen Layers of Hell. The evil Ghosts trapped inside the Eighteen Layers of Hell started to scream and struggle. The Underworld was troubled. They were busy inside out.

  At the Underworld.

  They naturally sensed the changes.

  A gorgeous woman with a long black dress looked serious. The bottom half of her body was in Snake form. Behind her was the General of the Bloody Sea, and the Black and White Impermanence. The Onis also did not look happy. They were tensed up like they were facing a big enemy.

  The lady was the Houtu Empress.

  She got a lot of privileges from the expert. It had also been a long while. She had not fully regained her powers yet, but her body was back and she could leave the Underworld.

  “Report—”


  An Oni hurriedly rushed in. He got the message from the City God Temples.

  He anxiously said, “It’s not good. The Ghastly Ghost King is trying to take over the Underworld with an army of Resentful Spirits! He wants to rebuild the order of the Ghosts!”


  “I knew this battle would come one day.”


  Houtu was not surprised. Her beautiful eyes were still. She took a deep breath and said, “Get ready, everyone!”


  “Empress, we can’t let them enter the Underworld!”


  The General of the Bloody Sea looked serious. He said in a determined tone, “Please let me stop them in the Immortal Realm. I won’t allow them to enter the Underworld unless I die!”


  If they fight in the Underworld, the entire Underworld would collapse without a doubt. The Eighteen Layers of Hell would break loose!

  Houtu calmly said, “I was thinking the same thing too. We have no chance of winning. Those who are willing to follow me into battle, head to the Underworld Gates! This is not a forceful order!”


  Then, she headed towards the Underworld Gates.

  The Black and White Impermanence and the others did not hesitate. They followed her closely.

  Then, they reappeared in a gloomy field. It was filled with mist everywhere. They quietly waited. They were ready to sacrifice themselves.

  “Weak. Too weak.”


  They heard a disappointed voice. A tsunami-like army of Resentful Spirits slowly appeared with the powerful Ghastly Ghost King.

  The Ghastly Ghost King kept shaking his head on the litter. He did not try to conceal his contempt for Houtu and the others.

  He felt like he overdid it. The Underworld was pitifully weak. They did not have a single Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal. He no longer had desires to attack them himself.

  The Big Lord Demon and the others were at the back of the army. They were nervous and tense. They carefully looked around for unexpected changes.

  They gradually looked doubtful. ‘Perhaps we can easily win this battle?’


  The Big Lord Demon hurriedly yelled, “Don’t talk to them. Hurry up and kill them in one go!”


  Thankfully, the Ghastly Ghost King had lost his interest. He did as the Big Lord Demon told. He casually said, “Kill them all!”


  “Stop!”


  A sudden voice could be heard. Then, clouds rolled in. Cultivator Junjun, Goddess Nuwa, Yun Shu, the Jade Emperor and the countless Heavenly Soldiers suddenly arrived. They stared at the Ghastly Ghost King with caution.

  Everyone from the Underworld was overjoyed. They were ready to fight.

  The Big Lord Demon and the others all looked like they expected it. They backed away without hesitation. They stood by and observed.

  The Ghastly Ghost King did not move an inch. He calmly said, “Interesting. But…… The Heavenly Palace and the Underworld can’t win against me!”


  “Ghastly Ghost King, prepare to die!”


  Another unexpected voice could be heard. Everyone looked to the side, including the Heavenly Palace army.

  They saw a bunch of cultivators with Yin Yang Fish uniform riding in on clouds. They looked cool and righteous, “Please allow the White Cloud Sect to help with getting rid of Demons!”


  “Yikes—”


  The Big Lord Demon and the other Demons gasped. They wanted to cry but no tears came out. ‘Here it is. As expected!’


  They backed away again without hesitation. They were ready to flee the battlefield.

  The fiery eyes of the Ghastly Ghost King leaped. He stood up from the litter and activated his powers. His aura heightened like crazy. He laughed maniacally and said, “Ha. Very good. I like it like that!”


  “Ghastly Ghost King, prepare to die!”


  They heard another voice. Everyone instantly had weird facial expressions.

  Qin Zhongshan showed up with Elder Shiye and the Big Elder. They were only three cultivators but their aura was powerful. They were three Chaos Daluo Golden Immortals!

  The fiery eyes of the Ghastly Ghost King stopped moving. He was clearly dumbfounded. “What the f*ck? Am I surrounded?!”
