Chapter 641: Doesn’t Meet the Reincarnation Criteria of Heaven, Humanity, or Beast Realms
After the Desolation Lords and immortals died, Jiang Li recounted what he had seen and heard in the Eight Desolations. Everyone listening wished they could resurrect the Desolation Lords and immortals just to kill them ten more times.
“The Eight Desolations truly are worse than beasts!”
“They got off too easily with death!”
“If we had known earlier, we wouldn’t have fought so gently during the battle!”
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. They knew the Eight Desolations was a demonic path world, but they never imagined they would be so utterly depraved, using their power to crash into other worlds and nurture themselves.
The evil deeds of the Eight Desolations had exceeded their imagination.
“Human Sovereign, earlier they mentioned they had already informed the Immortal Realm about our situation. What does this mean?” Several imperial rulers were puzzled, as they still didn’t know about the Immortal Realm affairs.
Currently, only those at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, Holy Maiden Jingxin, Ji Zhi, and Wuzhi knew the truth about the Immortal Realm.
“Very well, it’s time you all learned about this matter.”
Jiang Li took the opportunity to explain the truth to the several imperial rulers.
“In summary, the Nine Provinces Earth Vein is the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao can’t stand this and wants to destroy us. Our Nine Provinces and the Immortal Realm are definitely going to have a confrontation.”
Jiang Li summarized it lightly, but his words revealed earth-shattering news.
The imperial rulers never imagined that Jiang Li had already become powerful enough to transcend the Heavenly Dao.
But then again, if Human Sovereign Jiang was stronger than the Heavenly Dao, why should they worry about the Immortal Realm affairs?
“So that’s how it is. This means exploring the myriad heavens and worlds is essentially resisting the Immortal Realm.” The imperial rulers understood some things now.
“According to what the Human Sovereign said, how should we deal with the Eight Desolations? If we kill them all, there are certainly innocent people. Even if we kill nine out of ten, there would probably still be some who slip through the net.”
“Should we have Ji Zhi use his Double Pupils to look at the past of the Eight Desolations cultivators and compile a list?” Emperor of Mengjiang suggested.
Ji Zhi rolled his eyes at Emperor of Mengjiang. “If you want me to go blind, just say it directly. No need to be so indirect.”
“No need to trouble Ji Zhi. I have some connections in the Underworld and should be able to borrow the Book of Life and Death to see how much evil the Eight Desolations cultivators have committed.”
“Coincidentally, I also promised the Desolation Lords and immortals that we would meet again in the Underworld. I’ll go and return shortly.”
Jiang Li activated the Six Paths Seal and teleported to the Underworld.
……
“Is this the Underworld?”
Being newcomers, the Desolation Lords and immortals carefully looked around in all directions.
They were queuing up, waiting for judgment by the Yama Kings.
With a single glance, they could see that all the Ghost Officers in the Underworld were immortals. They shuddered, realizing how terrifying the Underworld’s power truly was.
“That Jiang Li is truly terrifying. He shattered the Venerable Shenzang Statue with a single flick of his finger. What realm is this Mahayana Stage really? Does it truly correspond to the Earthly Immortal stage?”
“And those legends, I’m starting to suspect they’re true.”
“I don’t know. Did you notice how confident he looked? He completely disregards the Immortal Realm.”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi snorted coldly. “He’s just an ignorant junior who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Having never witnessed the majesty of the Immortal Realm, he can afford to be so arrogant.”
Kun Desolation Lord quickly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, he truly doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth. Before I died, he said we would meet again in the Underworld. What nonsense! What kind of place is the Underworld? It’s not somewhere the living can come and go as they please!”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi had never found Kun Desolation Lord so agreeable. “That Jiang youngster is just bragging. I heard from my master Luwu that the Underworld has a Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal overseeing it, maintaining order in the Underworld. If someone could come and go freely in the Underworld, that Primordial Chaos and Limitless Immortal wouldn’t allow it.”
Suddenly, they heard a familiar voice from behind the queue.
“You just learned the Six Paths Seal and you’re already using it.”
“Learning through practice. I’m disturbing you by visiting the Underworld so abruptly. Sorry to trouble you, Your Majesty, to personally welcome me.”
“Not at all. If you wanted to come, I could even give you the position of Underworld ruler.”
“No, no, I still have a lot of work unfinished in the Nine Provinces.”
“What a pity.”
They saw Jiang Li walking together with an extraordinarily beautiful woman, chatting and laughing happily.
When Jiang Li passed by them, he glanced at them briefly, then continued talking and laughing as he walked forward.
“Is… is that Jiang Li who just killed us?”
The Desolation Lords and immortals’ brains short-circuited, unable to comprehend what they were seeing. This was especially true for Supreme Immortal Baoyi, who had repeatedly heard Immortal Lord Luwu say that the Underworld was a place where one could only enter but not leave, and that even the Immortal Realm couldn’t interfere.
“Who is that female cultivator beside him?”
A sinister voice sounded beside their ears. “That is our superior, Houtu Huangqi.”
“Who’s there!”
The Desolation Lords and immortals sharply turned their heads to see two figures standing behind them, one black and one white.
Black and White Impermanence, with Celestial Immortal cultivation.
“Lord Black Seven, Lord White Eight.” Supreme Immortal Baoyi smiled obsequiously. As a half-step Celestial Immortal, he was nothing before Black and White Impermanence.
“Her Majesty said that since we rarely get dead immortals and Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivators, she wanted us two to pay special attention.”
After speaking, Black and White Impermanence fell silent, simply following quietly behind them, letting Supreme Immortal Baoyi continue with his flattery.
After queuing for some time, it was finally their turn to face judgment.
Supreme Immortal Baoyi silently thought to himself, according to records, the one sitting in the middle should be King Yama, the one on the left should be the judge, and the one on the right should be…
“Jiang Li?!”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Sitting on the right were Jiang Li and Houtu Huangqi!
“Quiet!” The judge frowned, maintaining order.
King Yama’s eyes were completely black, without any white. He looked at the Book of Life and Death he was flipping through, then raised his eyes to look at Supreme Immortal Baoyi with a faint, ambiguous smile, his tone not particularly friendly.
“So you’re Luwu’s disciple.”
“You are…”
“I am one of the Ten Yama Kings of the Underworld. When I was alive, I was called Immortal Lord Yama.”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s heart sank.
Immortal Lord Yama had been executed by the Immortal Emperor precisely because Master Luwu informed on him to the Immortal Emperor.
King Yama waved his hand. “Don’t worry that I’ll mix personal grudges into this or bend the law for personal gain. Her Majesty was concerned this might happen, which is why she’s condescended to be here, supervising my work.”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi looked at Houtu Huangqi who was chatting and laughing with Jiang Li, not thinking this supervision would be of much use.
King Yama also didn’t think the supervision was necessary. The matters recorded in the Book of Life and Death were enough to send Supreme Immortal Baoyi to hell, never to reemerge for eternity.
“Baoyi, native of the Eight Desolations World, half-step Celestial Immortal cultivation, nominal disciple of Immortal Lord Luwu. After the Celestial Ascension Ladder disappeared, remained in the Eight Desolations until now. Died at 21,200 years old. Cause of death: trampled to death by Jiang Li of the Nine Provinces.”
“Destroyed 476 worlds, directly killed 900 billion human path beings, indirectly killed 180.63 trillion human path beings.”
When he reached this point, King Yama’s expression turned very unpleasant.
“Hidden virtue: zero. Karmic burden: overwhelming. Crimes unforgivable. Does not meet reincarnation conditions for Celestial Path, Human Path, or Beast Reincarnation Path. Shall suffer unlimited hell torment.”
Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s face instantly turned pale as he begged King Yama for leniency. King Yama remained unmoved and ordered the judge to record everything truthfully.
Black and White Impermanence grabbed Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s arms from both sides. Supreme Immortal Baoyi’s feet scraped along the ground, leaving a long trail as he was finally dragged to the four great hells.
