Chapter 161-162: The Underworld
divine race. My actions are therefore justified.>Shen Changqing smiled with his hands behind his back.Since there has never been a Celestial Lord in Tianzong, no matter if Tianzong attacks the Divine...It's nothing.
The White Emperor shook his head slightly, his calm gaze falling upon Shen Changqing...
At that moment.
Shen Changqing's whole body was covered in goosebumps.
To be targeted by a deity, the terror is unimaginable.
He directly grasped the Kunlun Shifting Talisman. As long as Bai Huang made a move, he would directly use the Kunlun Shifting Talisman to escape and talk about it later.
However.
As the Bai Huang was about to make a move.

A hunched, black-clad old man, carrying a bronze ancient lamp, emerged from the void with trembling steps.
>
"Ahem, this old one has met the White Emperor!"
When the old man spoke, his voice was slow and measured, as if he could die at any moment.
Elder!
Upon seeing the old man in black, Shen Changqing's pupils involuntarily constricted.
During the Zhongshan clan's time, there was a great deal of curiosity surrounding this mysterious old man.
At that time, in his eyes, the other party was definitely not simple.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But now that I look at it.
This person's identity and strength are probably far more terrifying than I imagined.
Otherwise.
If one were a divine king, how could they be so composed and at ease before a divine master
Upon seeing the arrival of the old man, a subtle change flickered across Bai Huang's face.
"It's you!"
"It's been millions of years since I last saw the White Emperor. As for today, with heavenly arrogance vying for supremacy and casualties inevitable, why would the White Emperor, as a divine lord and ruler of a divine race, bother with petty squabbles over a mere junior like me"
This is not a piece of text that can be translated. It looks like HTML code, specifically a closing paragraph tag. Let me know if you have any other text that needs translating!
The old man's voice was slow and low.
Within the bronze ancient lamp held by his withered right hand, a green flame flickered gently.
Upon hearing this.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The White Emperor's face remained calm: "Any prodigy is deeply fated, any hardship or obstacle cannot stop them. Only in this way can they be called a true prodigy. If someone falls midway, then they do not deserve the title of prodigy."
Just the same, for him to survive in my hands today shows that he has great fortune. Should he perish at my hands, it means his luck has run out.
Shen Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly.
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The other party truly lives up to their title as the divine master, able to justify bullying with such righteousness.
Although the elderly figure before us is mysterious, whether he can defeat Bai Huang remains a question.
Next.
Whenever something is amiss, he will immediately activate the Shifting Heavens Talisman.
However.
The talisman of Heaven and Earth's Shifting is not used at random.
>
If you're unlucky, you might end up right at the enemy's doorstep.
But compared to the vastness of heaven, such a possibility is only a minuscule probability. Right now, Shen Changqing has the good fortune of heaven, and he doesn't believe that he would be so unlucky.
The old man rasped, "So it seems the White Emperor has left us no way out."
“If the Candle Master were here, Bai Huang would give him some face, but you, you aren't worthy.”
The White Emperor shook his head.
Upon hearing this.
The old man sighed deeply: “Very well, since the White Emperor is unwilling to give this old man a way out, then this old man will have no choice but to try.”
Only to see the bronze ancient lamp in his right hand tremble, a pale green flame flew out from it, slowly and gracefully approaching Bai Huang.
The feeble lamplight was like a breath that could extinguish it at will.
But—
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
When the White Emperor saw the lights, his face grew grave.
With a light stroke of his right hand in front of him, time and space seemed to be split apart. In Shen Changqing's eyes, although the other party was standing right before him, it gave him the illusion of being separated by millions of miles.

From that inside.
He seemed to see the shadow of the rules.
It is very obvious.
Those who can enter the Divine Lord Realm have mastered the rules to a higher level, something that cultivators of other realms cannot hope to achieve.
The emerald flames flickered and swayed, inching closer to the White Emperor. But that gash was like a chasm, slowing its advance once more.
"Destroy!"
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The White Emperor struck out with another finger.
That finger struck the lamps like a bolt from heaven, with a deafening boom.
In an instant.
The oil-green flames were noticeably dimmer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then, he saw the old man shake the bronze ancient lamp in his hand again. The originally dim light seemed to be replenished with something, and its decadent appearance vanished instantly.
Only flickering oil lamps burned in the empty air.
Then.
The old man threw the bronze ancient lamp in his hand into the void.
Only to see that the bronze ancient lamp transformed into a bronze great door, appearing directly in the void.
"What is that thing!"
Shen Changqing looked at the bronze door in the void, his face filled with shock.
From the bronze gate, he could clearly feel a chill of ancient and archaic aura, as if it had existed for countless years. Beneath the chill of antiquity, there was a hint of chilling cold that made his heart skip a beat.
"You've actually managed to do this directly!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The White Emperor's face changed abruptly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Upon seeing the bronze gate, he seemed to have encountered something terrible.
A raspy, ancient voice echoed: "After millions of years, I finally allow the White Emperor to appraise my skills. Let's see how much I have changed compared to the past!"
As soon as the words left his mouth.
The bronze gate trembled and a crack, neither big nor small, appeared.
An unknown aura, seeped out from the cracks.
As the breath flows, the void it touches withers like a blooming flower.
Just as that aura was about to spread, the emerald flames suspended in mid-air flickered. A faint green light enveloped both the bronze gate and Bai Huang.
Those wisps of scent, upon encountering the pale green, seemed to be met with some obstruction, forcing them to retreat.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly.
A black hand suddenly reached out from the bronze door, grabbing straight for the Bai Huang.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
On seeing this.
>
The White Emperor's face drastically changed.
Without a second thought, I drew again, trying to sever this time and space.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However.
The black palm seemed to effortlessly transcend time and space, easily grabbing him and pulling him into the bronze gate.
By the time Bai Huang was dragged in.
The old man reached out a hand, and the bronze gate dissipated, once again transforming into a bronze ancient lamp. The oily green flames that had been suspended in mid-air returned to the lamp, but they were much dimmer than before.
Is it over
Was that all it took to resolve the matter of the deity
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's face was shocked.
>
The expected earth-shattering battle did not occur. A divine master was pulled into the back of the bronze gate and disappeared without a sound.
Recalling the ominous nature of the bronze gate's reveal and the eerie black hand, a great dread filled his heart.
Unknown.
Fear itself is the most terrifying.
Whether it was the bronze gate or the black palm, Shen Changqing had no idea about their origins.
But just looking at how easily it dragged a god into it, you can see how terrifying the bronze door and the black hand are.
However——
What's truly terrifying is the old man right before us.
Looking at the old man.
Respect filled Shen Changqing's eyes.
That is respect for the strong.
He also didn't expect that the old man who stayed in the desolate cave would actually have such strength.
"Elder, has the White Emperor resolved it"
Shen Changqing couldn't help but ask.
Hearing this.
The venerable old man shook his head slightly and rasped, "How could the divine lord fall so easily I merely confined him within the underworld. Whether he can emerge from it, however, depends on his ability."
>
The Underworld
Shen Changqing's expression changed.
Seeing the confusion in his heart, You Lao instead patiently explained.
"The so-called Netherworld is the destination for the dead, existing on the back of all heavens. Ordinary living beings can only enter the Netherworld when they perish. However, those residing in the Netherworld also find it difficult to enter the heavens."
But just behind the bronze gate, lies the Underworld.
>
A gentle breeze rustles.
The fire in the bronze ancient lamp dimmed once again.
The belonging of the dead!
The back of all heavens!
Shen Changqing only then realized he had been overlooking something all along.
That was when he lived in his previous life, there was a legend of the underworld. All living beings in heaven and earth would reincarnate after death in the underworld.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But here, there has never been talk of reincarnation.
Shen Changqing originally thought that there was no such thing as reincarnation here.
But now it seems, I was the one who miscalculated.
So-called the underworld.
It's the underworld from a past life.
That's all I have to say.
The Netherworld exists behind the heavens, not accessible to ordinary cultivators. As Elder You said, entering and leaving the Netherworld is extremely difficult.
Perhaps that's why the two characters "You Ming" haven't truly spread.
But to those top-tier powerhouses, the Netherworld was no secret at all.
Otherwise.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Bai Huang wouldn't have shown such an expression when seeing the bronze gate.
Just then, the void suddenly twisted violently.
Boom--
The distorted space tore apart.
A blood-stained body burst from the space behind the explosion.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
That figure.
It was none other than the White Emperor, who had fallen into the underworld just the other day.
Unlike the previous serene and composed demeanor, Bai Huang before them was truly disheveled and pathetic. He lacked the bearing of an emperor or a divine master.
After bursting out of the Netherworld, Bai Huang's golden eyes were filled with icy coldness. He stared fixedly at You Lao and Shen Changqing, the killing intent on his face was undisguised.
"This emperor wants you all dead!"
He suddenly struck out with a palm.
The old man's face changed slightly, and he directly pushed the bronze ancient lamp forward. The two forces collided, causing the bronze ancient lamp to tremble violently. He himself was also knocked back by this force.
Upon seeing this.
The White Emperor took a step forward, the river of rules erupting into the void, then crushing everything with a single punch.
But this time, his target was no longer You Lao, but Shen Changqing.
The deity strikes with one blow.
This is truly devastating.
Before the fist even landed, the surrounding void had already shattered completely. A surge of immense power permeated the air, forcibly imprisoning his form there.
Shen Changqing's face was pale with shock.
At that moment, a shadow of death fell over his mind.
Stop it!
You're going to die!
Thinking of this, Shen Changqing could no longer hold back anything. He forcefully urged his divine power and activated the Qiankun Shifting Talisman he was holding tightly.
In the instant that white light rose, the power of the Divine Lord had already descended.
Boom—
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A terrifying power pierced the void, falling downwards.
...in an instant.
Mountain collapse, river cuts off.
All creatures were caught in the blast, perishing instantly from the Godmaster's attack.
In the desolate and ancient valley, a biting gale occasionally howled through.
All that could be seen was a raging wind, like blades slicing through the air with ease.
A white light flashed.
When the light dissipated, Shen Changqing's figure had already appeared there.
"What is this"
He looked around at the scene, seeing nothing but desolation. There was no sign of any life whatsoever.
That's not all.
In the desolate valley, not only were there no living creatures, but even ordinary grass and trees could not be seen.
Just like.
This place is like a barren wasteland where nothing grows.
Immediately.
Shen Changqing spread out his divine sense, wanting to figure out the surrounding situation.
When divine consciousness slowly spread outwards.
Phew—
Here is the translated text:
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Another gust of wind swept through.
That raging wind, capable of cleaving space itself, effortlessly severed the divine thoughts that had extended outward.
The moment his divine sense was severed, he felt a jolt like being struck by lightning. A sharp pain shot through his head, forcing him to retract his divine sense entirely.
A while.
That stinging sensation finally subsided.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing's brow furrowed.
“One cannot freely disperse one's divine sense. This inexplicable force, like the wind, can sever even intangible divine senses and cause harm to oneself through them.”
Generally speaking.
Divine thoughts cannot be severed.
>
And even if it were severed, it wouldn't be able to inflict too much damage on itself.
It's like just now, when my divine sense was abruptly cut off, it felt like someone had hit my head hard. I've never experienced anything like this before.
"No!"
"This feeling, I feel like I've encountered it somewhere before—"
Shen Changqing thought of something.
When I received the Rule Stone, I seemed to have had this feeling.
"Could it be—”
“Does the wind that just passed relate to the rules”
His face twitched slightly.
However, Shen Changqing didn't have much evidence to be sure.
Ultimately.
He still doesn't understand the rules, whether it's related to the rules or not is yet to be discussed.
Now.
Most importantly, we need to figure out where exactly this is.
However, Shen Changqing didn't rush to leave. Instead, he planned to recuperate his injuries first before making any further decisions.
Although he had activated the Qiankun Displacement Talisman himself, under the influence of the God Master's power, he still sustained some injuries.
Such an injury.
Even if he now possessed the Chaotic Dao Body, it would still take a considerable amount of time to truly recover.
I walked around in the desolate valley.
Shen Changqing found a place he thought was relatively safe, then casually set up some restrictions around him. Afterward, he calmed his mind and began observing the changes within himself.
In the midst of chaos.
The essence of Zhongshan Chou's divine fire has completely dissipated.
Faced with the god master's attack, forcing the use of the Heaven-Earth Shifting Talisman was like the last straw that broke the camel's back for the divine fire's essence.
That was earlier.
The divine fire's origin, under the erosion of chaos, is already precarious and could extinguish at any moment.
Now.
That is the announcement of its demise.
At the same time, the Qi Yun insignia of the Qing Feng clan also vanished.
After all, the Qingfeng clan's allegiance lies with Zhong Shanchou. Now that Zhong Shanchou's Divine Fire Origin has been extinguished, equivalent to his utter demise, the Qingfeng clan's aura seal naturally cannot remain here.
Besides, the destruction of the divine fire origin also indicates that the identity of Zhong Shan Chou can no longer be used. If he wants to seek shelter under a powerful tree, he will have to find another place.
>
Speaking of...
I have quite a lot of primordial energy now.
Even a god king level origin, it possesses.
Right now, within the chaotic flesh, apart from the extinguishing of the divine fire's origin, the originally empty chaotic space has begun to appear with numerous cracks.
The existence of those cracks indicates that the Chaotic Body has been damaged.
However.
Within the chaotic space, the chaotic energy formed from qi and blood is relying on its own instinct to slowly repair the cracks.
Next.
What Shen Changqing has to do is to accelerate this repair process.
When the fire of Zhongshan's primordial origin was extinguished.
Among the Qīngfēng clan.
All the statues of Zhōngshān Chòu were cracked and dull.
That's not all.
The Qi of the Praying Mantis Clan fluctuated violently, then seemed to be cleaved in two by a living blade. The once flourishing Qi instantly withered away.
Qi has run out.
Numerous natural disasters emerge in the world.
When cries of the living echoed through the city, within the imperial palace, Qingyang now paled, completely devoid of his former grandeur.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible—"
"How could my lord fall How could he possibly fall!"
Once, he was willing to pledge his allegiance because the other had immense potential and could lead the Green Bee Clan to rise in power.
After that, everything Shen Changqing did made Qingyang deeply realize that his choice was right.
With that talent.
In the future, becoming a god king is absolutely certain.
But.
The Qingfeng clan, relating to that deity's statue being completely shattered, not to mention their luck having been halved.
That's it.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Qingfeng clan is not even restored to its former glory, it's even worse than before.
If it weren't for the fact that he had already ascended to the divine realm, the Qingfeng Clan might have been wiped out.
Take a few deep breaths.
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Qingyang forced himself to calm down, then looked at the other powerhouses: "With all your might, suppress the disasters in all regions. This emperor will immediately go to Zhuzong to inquire about the situation."
Within the Zhōng Shān clan, Qìyùn (spiritual energy) surged like a dragon emitting a mournful cry. Its previously solid form was severely damaged, and massive amounts of Qìyùn were ripped away from it.
The burning emperor, who was attacking the Baiyu clan, instantly turned his face dark. A wave of fury erupted from his chest. When he looked at the Emperor Yan again, it was as if he were looking at a dead man.
“Today, I shall bury your Baiyu clan with me as I avenge the extermination of my Zhongshan clan's prodigy!”
Chi is severely damaged.
As the emperor of the Zhōngshān clan, how could Chúc Huáng not feel it.
Although he was unclear who Zhongshan Chou had fallen to, it was definitely related to the Bai Yu clan.
Now.
Only by exterminating the Baiyu clan can I vent my anger.
Zhong Shan Qiu was defeated!
The emperor's expression changed slightly.
This is a test.
He didn't expect the other party to actually fall.
But before she could relish the victory, Emperor Yan sensed a darkness descending upon them. When he steadied himself and looked, two black whirlpools came into view.
The Abyss of Darkness!
"Oh no!"
The emperor was greatly shocked and dismayed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
When Zhu Yan's true form was born, he forcefully condensed the killing power between heaven and earth, wanting to break the abyss of darkness.
While it was able to lash out during all the attacks, its attacks seemed like a cow entering the sea. It only shattered part of the space before being completely swallowed by the abyss of darkness.
Boom—
In the void.
Shan Huang's blood-soaked body fell into the void, and Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's face was colder than ever before.
In his hand, was a broken skull.
That is the head of Raiju, the guardian deity of the Raiden Shogun.
The head of this Cosmos Sovereign was severed, yet he did not truly die. In his wide-open, furious eyes, fear flickered.
Squeeze it hard.
The head exploded.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's voice was like the cold of a December frost: "Dushan Huang Tian, you are finished!"
"Madman!"
Even now, the Mountain Emperor's heart could not help but tremble with a sliver of fear.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's strength has undergone a further transformation, becoming even more terrifying than it was during the Void Battlefield. Even with a Universe God King assisting him, he is still not their opponent.
Now.
The Heavenly King fell.
Alone, there was no possibility of resistance.
And with Zhong Shanqiu's fall, this person, who was already somewhat out of control, realized that staying would only bring harm and no benefit.
Thinking about it.
The Mountain Emperor directly tore through the void and fled.
On the other side.
As Shen Changqing was blasted to death with a single punch, the turbidity in You Lao's eyes vanished, replaced only by an extremely sharp light.
The stooped back straightened.
The flickering, emerald-green lamplight in the bronze ancient lantern cast a piercing glow.
There are no words.
He directly threw the bronze ancient lamp again, only to see the flames soaring high in the air, a bronze gate appearing once more.
But this time.
The Bai Huang had no intention of clashing head-on with the other party.
The proud son of the Zhongshan clan had been slaughtered, allowing him to vent his anger. Now, he could leave with complete composure.
It's just——
Just as Bai Huang was about to leave.
...with power to destroy heaven and earth, it came crashing down with a mighty roar.
“Here, let's all stay!”
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan’s face was icy cold.
This is an example of how to use HTML tags within a text translation. Please note that I only translate the content within the tags, leaving the tags themselves untouched.
Even if the other party were a deity, he would still keep them.
I felt that imposing presence.
The Bai Huang's face showed disdain: "Just a mere Rule God King, ignorant and reckless."
With a single finger press, the intense power of the rules erupted.
Two forces collide.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
A terrible wave, emanating from both of them, spread outward in all directions.
Zhong Shan Dong Xuan's physical body shattered into pieces, his divine blood flowing. Yet, he did not retreat an inch, instead raising his Divine Nation high and crashing it down with immense force.
The White Emperor was caught off guard and directly struck by the Kingdom of Rules.
Its body, though rigidly still, stumbled backward.
At the same time.
>
The bronze gate creaked open, and a black hand emerged from within. The retreating figure of the White Emperor landed right in the reach of that black hand.
Grip the body.
The black giant hand once again pulled Bai Huang into the back of the bronze gate.
"No—"
The White Emperor's face was filled with panic, struggling frantically, wanting to break free from the shackles of the black hand.
Before falling into the underworld, he paid the price of a ninth-grade magic weapon and barely managed to blow open a hole to escape from it.
If I were to fall into the underworld again, things would be much worse.
That's all.
Although the divine being's outburst was powerful.
But the owner of that black hand was even more terrifying.
No matter how Bai Huang struggled, he was never able to break free. In the end, he was forcefully dragged into the back of the bronze gate.
The bronze gate slammed shut, then reformed into a bronze ancient lamp.
The verdant flames hung high, dimming rapidly, leaving only a faint ember that settled within the ancient lamp.
The shriveled hand grasped the bronze ancient lamp, and the aging body hunched further, exuding an air of decrepitude that seemed to whisper of imminent demise.
At the moment Bai Huang was pulled into the underworld.
The Thunder Emperor, engaged in a fierce battle with the Blood Emperor, unleashed a full-powered strike, forcing the Blood Emperor back. Afterward, he tore through space and vanished.
Thus ends the matter.
The great war had just ended.changed the subject.Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!"This seat observes that the celestial walls are carved with many formations, and there are powerful sealing formations in...
