Chapter 440: Changes in the Underworld
Hell!
"This kind of barren place is really not a place for human beings to stay."
Qin Chen was sitting on a black mountain, and his surroundings were filled with magnetic force, or to be more precise, Yin thunder.
Yin thunder can be seen everywhere in the sky and on the earth. Every time it falls, several ghosts are hit by it and then disappear between heaven and earth.
Many ghosts could only hide under huge rocks in the deep mountains. Looking around, the scene was devastated and many palaces and houses were destroyed by thunder.
As for the mountain close to Qin Chen, the moment the Yin thunder fell, the mountain would flash with light and directly absorb the Yin thunder.
"This formation can't be maintained for much longer."
Looking at the relieved expressions of the ghosts at the foot of the mountain, Qin Chen had a worried look on his face. His formation could not protect these ghosts for too long.
Looking at the cheering expressions of these ghosts, he actually sighed in his heart. It has been many years since he came to the underworld. From the excitement and curiosity in the beginning, to the hot-blooded impulse in the middle, and to the helplessness now.
When he first came to the underworld, he was excited to see so much magnetic force. Such amount of magnetic force was inexhaustible , and he could use it to perfect many formation ideas in his mind.
In fact, he did it. In the past two years, he improved and supplemented a total of fifteen formations, and also created two formations that his master did not have.
After doing all this, he left the area he had just entered, and as a result, he encountered many ghosts who were harmed by the magnetic force. From these ghosts, he learned that this magnetic force is also called Yin Lei, which comes from the thunder in the underworld.
Originally, Yin thunder was not common. In the underworld, it would only appear when it rained, or when some evil ghost angered the heaven, Yin thunder would fall. Its effect was the same as thunder in the world of the living.
But later on, for some unknown reason, the Yin thunder became more frequent, from only falling every few hours to coming every three or five days later, and now there is a Yin thunder falling almost every incense stick of time.
Moreover, from a point to a surface, nine out of ten ghosts in the underworld have been reduced to a terrifying level.
It was because he saw the misery of these ghosts that he built a formation with the mountain as the center to protect many ghosts inside.
At the beginning, it was okay and there were not many ghosts. But as the ghosts who were sheltered here spread the news, more and more ghosts came here to seek shelter, and he had to expand the scope of the formation again and again, but then Qin Chen discovered a very tricky problem.
As the number of ghosts increased, he found that the frequency of Yin Thunder falling was also increasing, and the number was also increasing.
Judging from this progress, his formation can only last for another month at most.
Send away these ghosts?
Qin Chen had thought about this before, but he knew very well that after these ghosts left, more than half of them would die under the Yin thunder.
This was something he couldn't bear to see.
"Try again. If it still doesn't work, this is the only thing we can do."
Qin Chen decided to make another modification to the formation. Although the possibility of success was very small, he had to try. If he failed, he would have to dismiss the many ghosts and leave them to their fate.
Just when Qin Chen made up his mind and prepared to enter the center of the formation, a golden light tore through the sky.
All the Yin thunder in the sky of the underworld disappeared without a trace the moment this golden light appeared, and many of the Yin thunder that had already struck down also disappeared instantly.
Many ghosts who had escaped death from the Yin thunder looked at the sky in disbelief. They had been prepared to be struck to death by the Yin thunder, but they did not expect that the Yin thunder would disappear.
At this moment, throughout the underworld, countless ghosts emerged from their hiding places, looking up at the sky, at the piece of golden paper floating in the sky.
“I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”
The figure of the Lord of the Underworld walked out from the paper, and although his figure was still blurry, his tone was full of self-blame.
The ghosts below had confused expressions, because they did not know the Lord of the Underworld. The moment the underworld was successfully created, the Lord of the Underworld disappeared.
"Who is this?"
Qin Chen was also on the mountain at this moment, looking at the woman who appeared in the sky. He didn't know why he had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen this woman somewhere, but he was very sure that he had never seen her before, even though the woman was blurry and unclear.
The Lord of the Underworld stood on the sky, and the next moment two figures appeared and headed towards the sky.
An old man and a middle-aged man.
The three of them were very excited, and the old man was the first to speak: "Teacher, you are finally back."
“I’m disappointed!”
The Lord of the Underworld spoke slowly, and the old man's expression froze. He knew what his teacher was disappointed about, and he knelt down directly on the sky.
"Lord of the Underworld, it's not that we can't take action. The Underworld has encountered an accident. If we take action, I'm afraid the Underworld will collapse." The middle-aged man did not kneel down, but opened his mouth to explain.
"Who are you?"
"I am the Lord of the Underworld. Something happened in the Underworld, and the ghosts were stranded in the world of the living. I created the Underworld to maintain order in both the Yin and Yang worlds."
The Lord of the Underworld?
When Qin Chen heard this title, he thought of the many rumors about the underworld in the world. Isn't the lord of the underworld the King of Hell?
Then who is the lord of the underworld?
From the sound of it, it seems that the King of Hell came later, and the Lord of the Underworld should be the master of the underworld before the King of Hell.
The Lord of the Underworld raised his hand, and the next moment four black pillars appeared in the four directions of the underworld: southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest. These four black pillars strangely illuminated the entire underworld.
But soon, red dots appeared on the four black pillars, just like spots appearing on a person's skin. These red dots were densely packed, and finally appeared in patches like fish scales.
"pollute!"
call out!
Just as the Lord of the Underworld finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly turned into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot.
However, the next moment, the middle-aged man's figure returned to the sky and stood in the previous position.
"This...how is this possible..." The middle-aged man's voice was filled with disbelief.
"This is the underworld, a place I created. You are wrong to provoke me."
The Lord of the Underworld's voice was rarely filled with anger. The middle-aged man's body exploded and turned into a ball of blood mist, but it immediately reassembled the next moment.
"So what about the Lord of the Underworld..."
The man's body reassembled, and he laughed wildly, "A remnant of thought wants to kill me. I am immortal, and you can't kill me even in the underworld!"
"This guy is so arrogant."
Qin Chen found the man's wild laughter a bit unpleasant to the ears, and what he didn't expect was that the next moment his body actually went uncontrollably towards the sky.
