Soul Dominator of the Devouring Star

Chapter 684 The First World Conquered, The Demon Tide

The latest chapter is packed with exciting plot twists! Come check it out!

On the throne of the Underworld, Qin Ming's eyes were slightly closed, and his body was surrounded by visible soul fluctuations and hazy death energy, with the two primordial Daos intertwined like twin dragons.

The illusory image of the Six Paths of Reincarnation became increasingly condensed.

Look down.

As the Netherworld Emperor, the Old Demon of Time and Space, and the Palace Masters of the Two Realms planted the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at key locations throughout the Netherworld, the area covered by the Netherworld projection and the Six Paths of Reincarnation expanded.

Countless fallen souls from the Netherworld surged into the sky like a torrential downpour.

The Demon Realm itself is very special.

This world, forged from the remains of world-class primordial beings, originates from the power of death and soul. Even when life dies, it does not immediately dissipate but instead transforms into some strange things.

Or perhaps it will simply give birth to some so-called 'demons'!

These unique, naturally occurring, primordial life forms, in turn, constantly devour and hunt native life forms, making the survival environment of native life forms increasingly difficult.

When even the Netherworld can no longer bear it, it will enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Destroy everything and start anew.

Unlike the Origin Continent, which is a source world.

The reasons for the extinction of countless worlds due to the overabundance of native life are varied.

Some were destroyed because the rules governing the world collapsed, some because of the erosion caused by the power of chaos, and others were like the Netherworld.

Because the aura of death between heaven and earth was too strong and the power of souls permeated the air, the innate primordial life forms were greatly strengthened, leading to the destruction of the primordial world.

However, as the underworld expands, the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotates, swallowing up countless fallen souls, even the remnants of their souls.

The pressure between heaven and earth naturally decreases.

Even the aura of death entered it through the six paths of reincarnation.

Other places cannot bear too much of the aura of death, but for the underworld, it is nourishment.

The underworld is a place prepared for fallen souls!

"With so many fallen souls, and so many fallen innate primordial life souls, this place is simply the chosen land for the expansion of the underworld."

Qin Ming looked down and a smile appeared on his face.

With five late-stage God Emperors, including a traitor like the Nether Emperor, the expansion speed of the Underworld War Beasts and the Twelve Reincarnation Legions was terrifyingly fast.

Along the way, various forces surrendered without resistance under Emperor You's orders.

As for those with ulterior motives, they will immediately face the most severe blows.

The Time-Space Old Demon and others who entered this world had already set up an array around the only external teleportation channel of the Netherworld.

Just like the Origin Continent, they caught a turtle in a jar.

The remaining dozen or so God Emperors were powerless to resist.

The chaotic yet immense power of death and souls from the Netherworld is flowing into the underworld like rivers flowing into the sea, following the thousands of branches of the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Judgment of the Underworld! Begin!"

On the throne of the Underworld, Qin Ming slowly opened his eyes, the six paths of reincarnation slowly flowing within them.

The next instant, his figure vanished from the throne, and an immeasurable, majestic phantom suddenly appeared in the sky above the Nine Realms of the Netherworld.

This phantom stretched across billions of miles of void, with the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation slowly rotating behind it.

"I am the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the Underworld."

The indifferent and majestic voice, following the fluctuations of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, spread throughout every inch of the Netherworld and reached the ears of every living being.

"Today, here, we establish the Netherworld, the order of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, judge life and death, determine reincarnation, reward good and punish evil, and clearly distinguish between Yin and Yang."

From then on, the creatures of the Netherworld had a place to live and a place to die.

The moment the words fell, the Six Paths of Reincarnation above the sky trembled violently.

The Gates of Hell opened wide, and behind the pitch-black portal, the River of Oblivion surged and roared. Ten majestic and imposing Yama Palaces stood in a row, with ghostly light flowing above them.

The ten palaces, including the Palace of King Qin Guang, the Palace of King Chu Jiang, and the Palace of King Yama, all appeared.

Deep within the cycle of reincarnation, the phantoms of the eighteen hells slowly appeared, with places of punishment such as mountains of knives and seas of fire, icy purgatory, and tongue-pulling hell materializing one by one, and an endless aura of killing intent sweeping across the heavens and earth.

The Ten Kings of Hell, led by the Zerg Queen, were already dressed in underworld court robes, each in their place, with judges holding pens behind them and underworld soldiers lined up, each performing their duties.

This system of reincarnation had already been operating perfectly on the Origin Continent. Now that it had landed in the Netherworld, it was simply following the rules, proceeding smoothly and without any hindrance.

"As the Emperor commands!"

The ten Kings of Hell roared respectfully in unison.

The millions of souls that had been guided and gathered in the underworld before entered the Ten Kings of Hell one by one to receive their judgment of life and death.

As in the Origin Continent, the illusory image between heaven and earth is projected onto the corresponding area.

Inside the first hall, the Hall of King Qin Guang, the judge opened the Book of Life and Death and loudly proclaimed, "Yes, sir!"

One by one, souls are judged.

On the Origin Continent, through members of the Time-Space Old Demon and other pioneering members, elite members of the Underworld began to fine-tune the "Fengdu Black Laws" according to the environment of the Netherworld itself.

To make it more suitable for the Demon Realm.

Of course, the core principle remains the same: rewarding good and punishing evil, and maintaining order in life and death.

This is the foundation of the cycle of rebirth.

Those ordinary beings who lived in cities during their lifetimes, resisted the demonic tides for generations, protected their kin, and were kind-hearted despite their low cultivation levels, were all sentenced to enter the path of goodness.

After being purified by the underworld, the true spirit is sent into the cycle of reincarnation to be reborn.

Through the purification of the six realms of reincarnation, the impurities in their innate bloodline are cleared, and their cultivation talent will be stronger than in their previous life after reincarnation.

As for those with heinous sins, there's no need to elaborate.

According to the severity of their sins, they will be sent to the eighteen hells to be punished.

This is an order that has never existed since the birth of the Netherworld.

Throughout dozens of cycles of reincarnation, this place has always been ruled by the strong, and the weak cannot even have peace after death. But now, they can start over.

The greater the suffering, the easier it is for a devout faith to be born!

Qin Ming could sense that as the Underworld Judgment proceeded, the faith in the Netherworld was growing at an astonishing rate, far exceeding that of the Origin Continent.

"It's a pity! Although the myriad worlds also have cores, they are not like the origin of the source world, which can directly make a person a world-level primordial being."

Sensing this gradually increasing power, Qin Ming felt a pang of regret.

This is, after all, a world created by lords, and it is inherently flawed. To achieve this level of success, allowing billions of lives to multiply, is itself incredibly extraordinary.

With a sense of regret, Qin Ming turned his gaze to the demons!

These demonic creatures, born from the remains of world-class primordial beings, have been the nightmare of the Netherworld for dozens of reincarnation eras.

They are naturally powerful and extremely difficult to kill.

But now, countless demons wandering between heaven and earth, and the remnants of demonic souls that survived after being hunted, have been forcibly dragged out by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, with none escaping unscathed.

Death and rebirth?

This is the ability that the Myriad Souls Banner is most effective against!

As soon as they entered the cycle of reincarnation, they were directly sent to the millstone of souls.

creak-

The Soul Millstone slowly turned, and those undead characteristics that even the God Emperor found troublesome, the tyrannical killing intent, the chaotic pollution of the Hunyuan bloodline, and even the primordial runes imprinted deep in the soul, were all crushed, stripped away, and purified little by little.

No matter how much these demons roared and struggled, they were like mantises trying to stop a chariot in front of the Netherworld, appearing pale and laughable.

In just a few breaths, one after another, the infamous demons were refined.

They became members of the Netherworld War Beasts.

The fundamental mysteries of the Great Dao contained within their fallen corpses were gradually sorted out and flowed into Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness, though they remained chaotic.

But it also makes it possible to gain insight.

This scene was witnessed by countless beings in the Netherworld, completely igniting everyone's minds.

"That's the Crimson Heart Demon! A terrifying monster that once slaughtered three cities! It's been purified and transformed into a Netherworld warrior?!"

"Thousand-Eyed Demons! Even after they die, they go to the underworld? Those unkillable demons were actually completely refined? They didn't even have a chance to be reborn?"

Black Death Zone.

Those powerful god-kings were all gazing at the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the sky, their voices trembling, their eyes filled with unbelievable ecstasy and awe.

For generations, they have lived in the shadow of the demonic tide, in fear of bloodline contamination. Their loved ones either died at the hands of demons or fell into madness amidst the chaos of their bloodlines.

I never imagined that one day, death would no longer be the end, but a new beginning.

Seeing those familiar figures reincarnated again was awe-inspiring, and a seed was ignited in everyone's heart.

Even Emperor You was the same.

"Great Emperor, these are some of the god emperors in my Netherworld who are willing to submit and join the Underworld."

Within the Netherworld, the Nether Emperor bowed deeply to Qin Ming, who sat upon the throne.

Behind him were six god emperors.

As for the others, they have naturally perished for various reasons.

In an environment like the Netherworld, it's easy for extreme and insane people to emerge. Given the living conditions, there's not much to say; maintaining sanity is inherently difficult.

"Um!"

Qin Ming nodded slightly.

He knew about these people's situation. After being examined by the Mirror of Retribution, they were not considered good people, but they were not sinful either.

He is not pedantic.

In a world like the Netherworld, this is already considered quite good.

"Greetings, Emperor Fengdu!"

Blood Ancestor and Bone Emperor exchanged a glance, both seeing awe and fanaticism in each other's eyes.

They were also beings who had entered the Dark Holy Realm, and were bloodline cultivators in the late stage of the God Emperor realm.

Although not as good as Emperor You.

However, he had some understanding of the infinite primordial space and breaking free from the cage. When he saw the You Emperor submit and say that Qin Ming would definitely become a primordial being, he was still somewhat skeptical.

But at this moment, they all felt the power contained within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

I felt the power of the underworld.

Following such a powerful figure, let alone reaching the pinnacle of the God Emperor realm, even breaking free from the shackles in the future is not a pipe dream.

"Since you're willing to join the Underworld, then become a member of the Netherworld."

Qin Ming nodded slightly, and the Netherworld's primordial power, which surged from the Gates of Hell in the Netherworld, descended upon the bodies of the six God Emperors.

It even befell the Nether Emperor.

The Nether Emperor deserves considerable credit for bringing the Demon Realm under the rule of the Underworld so quickly.

boom!

When that extremely powerful force descended, none of the Netherworld God Emperors, Blood Ancestor, Bone Emperor, or the others resisted, allowing the force to surge into their bodies.

"This power!"

In an instant, Blood Ancestor and Bone Emperor let out a roar that was both painful and excited.

They could clearly sense that they were being thrown into a millstone, and as the millstone turned, it was completely crushing their souls and bodies.

Before they could instinctively resist, they discovered that this force did not harm them.

Instead, it is refining the impurities and pollution contained in their souls and bodies, and in that extreme pain, there is actually a wonderful feeling of comfort.

It was as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders.

The soul is incredibly clear.

"Is this the power of purifying the underworld?"

The Nether Emperor was also pleasantly surprised. Although he had been refined once before, it was only the most basic refinement at that time. Now, however, it was a complete purification!

He could feel the blood boiling within him!

boom!

The Time-Space Demon and others watching from the side turned their gaze to the back of the Nether Emperor, where the Blood Ancestor's aura suddenly surged.

"A breakthrough?"

A look of shock appeared in the eyes of the Palace Master of the Two Realms. He had actually broken through from the late stage of God Emperor to the peak of God Emperor!

"Purification of the underworld has a great effect on us, making our souls purer and easier to comprehend. But for those who follow the path of bloodline, its effect is even greater!"

Because of the pollution of their innate primordial lifeblood, they have to use most of their souls and mental will to suppress their bloodline.

But this evolution will cleanse most of the pollution, and the soul will grow stronger.

Breakthroughs aren't surprising at all.

The old demon of time and space revealed envy in his eyes.

On the throne of the Underworld, Qin Ming also looked at the Blood Ancestor. Almost immediately after his breakthrough, the Bone Emperor, who was also at the late stage of God Emperor, suddenly experienced a surge in aura.

He also reached the peak of the God Emperor level.

The Old Demon of Time and Space was right; the more polluted the environment, the stronger the purification effect after being purified by the Underworld.

Including Emperor You!

"I feel it! That feeling, I've never been able to figure it out before, I can't grasp that inspiration, but now I understand!"

Emperor You was overjoyed.

He refined a world-class primordial bloodline.

Although he didn't break through directly like the Blood Ancestor and the Bone Emperor, he still managed to grasp a glimpse of the possibility of ultimate awakening.

To follow the path of blood circulation, one needs to continuously explore the blood vessels within the body.

Once you achieve ultimate awakening, you can break free from your cage!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor You knelt on the ground, and Blood Ancestor, Bone Emperor, and others all knelt respectfully once again.

"Get up! This is just the beginning. As long as you achieve enough merit, you will gain much more in the future."

Qin Ming sat upright on the throne of the King of the Universe.

With the promotion of the Underworld, and the submission and even faith of countless native beings of the Netherworld, he could feel that the Underworld and the Netherworld were becoming more thoroughly integrated.

Countless insights into death and the Great Dao of the Soul, refined through the Soul Grinding Wheel, continuously flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness, and his control over the two fundamental Daos was soaring at an alarming rate.

The Netherworld, a world that had been constantly destroyed and reborn in the cycle of reincarnation, has now become the first unbreakable extraterritorial foundation of the Underworld in the infinite primordial space.

"Hmm? Something seems to be emerging from Demon Source Mountain? A demonic tide?"
