Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 903: The New and Old Ways of Heaven
The Hades is in a world of white light. Wearing a white dress, she looks as if she has merged with this world, fitting in perfectly!
But only the Hades herself could feel that strong sense of disobedience and rejection, as if she was out of place in this world!
Including the billions of ghosts, they actually had the same feeling, and it was even stronger. Under the cover of endless white light, they were strongly suppressed!
Only Gu Xiaoxing and Fang Qingyun were not affected too much.
Because they are not originally from this underworld, and their roots are not in this big universe!
Once upon a time, in the underworld, Daoming Court was the sky of this world, controlling the way of heaven and transcending everything in this vast universe!
Therefore, there is the Heaven of the Darkness!
But later, with the collapse of Daoming Court, the world's heavenly law also collapsed.
Therefore, the order of the entire underworld will be disrupted, the world will be turned upside down, and eventually it will turn into a ghost!
In fact, this also means the end of an era. The era of Dao Ming Zhe Tian is over!
And now is the beginning of a new era!
Therefore, in this underworld, a new heavenly way also appeared!
Countless ghost hunters came into being. They used the power of the new heaven to swallow thousands of ghosts and improve themselves!
Those glimmers are the manifestation of the new power of heaven!
All the ghosts in the underworld were born in the last era and are the products left over after the collapse of the old heaven!
Therefore, in front of the new heavenly way, all ghosts are naturally restrained!
The cultivators of the new era also use this new power of heaven to hunt down and devour ghosts!
And the Dao Lord, as the first powerful being to step into the fifth ancient realm since the birth of the new Heavenly Dao, can use the power of the new Heavenly Dao to the extreme!
It’s easy to suppress all the ghosts!
This time, the Taoist wanted to devour the Hades Girl, allowing himself to go one step further and reach a realm where he was not just simply using the new Heavenly Dao!
Instead, he wanted to completely control the Heavenly Dao just like the Dao Ming Ting did in the past, and become the new Heavenly Dao...the Lord!
This idea, or rather, this ambition, had already arisen the moment he stepped into the fifth ancient realm!
The stronger the strength, the greater the ambition. This desire from the deepest part of the heart is often unavoidable for all living beings!
Therefore, at the moment he stepped into the fifth ancient realm, he called himself ... the Lord of Dao!
It means, this is the Tao in the underworld, the master of heaven!
Now, although the Taoist master has not reached this step yet, he can easily gather infinite new heavenly power to suppress the Hades Girl!
As far as the Taoist master knows, the Hades Girl, as a remnant of the Taoist Underworld Court, is also a product left over from the old Heavenly Dao and will be suppressed by the new Heavenly Dao as well!
This is the greatest advantage for the Taoist master, and also the fundamental reason why he dares to challenge the Lady of the Underworld!
They are both powerful beings in the fifth ancient realm, so it is difficult to say who is stronger and who is weaker!
But as long as this advantage exists, the Taoist master can turn this advantage into victory!
And in order to ensure victory, for today, just as the Taoist master said, he has made all the preparations!
He will definitely win this battle!
But in the next moment, the Taoist master couldn't help but open his eyes, and there was a hint of surprise in his pupils!
Because he saw that the Hades, who should have been suppressed by the power of the new Heavenly Dao, seemed to be unaffected at all, and her power was spreading again!
And as this power spread, cracks appeared in the white light world condensed by the new heaven!
There was also a kind of mysterious and infinite power, as if it was summoned by the goddess of the underworld. It came out from the countless cracks and condensed into... the old way of heaven!
For a moment, the two great ways of heaven, the old and the new, appeared at the same time, confronting each other, and even appearing to be competing with each other !
But in comparison, New Tiandao is like a vigorous teenager.
The old way of heaven is like an old man in his twilight years, with a sense of decay and aging!
But it was only a moment of surprise, and the Taoist master leaned back on the throne, looking up to the sky and laughing.
"I knew it wasn't that simple!"
Then, the Taoist master suddenly stood up, and the throne behind him disappeared. Looking at the powerful Hades Girl at this moment, in the Taoist master's eyes, there was not only greed, but also a hint of excitement and fighting spirit!
"Since I entered the fifth ancient realm, no one in this underworld can be my opponent. In fact, except for you, there is no one I can call my enemy!"
"This feeling is great, but it lacks some fun, so I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time!"
"But there is one thing that has troubled me for eternity and has always made me curious. I hope the Lady of the Underworld can help me solve this puzzle!"
The Hades Girl was not angry because the Taoist Master wanted to attack her or even devour her. Even at this moment, facing the Taoist Master's words and questions, she remained calm.
In fact, the Hades Girl knew without asking that the confusion the Taoist Master was talking about must be related to the Taoist Underworld Court!
The Taoist master did not wait for the Nether Girl to ask, and continued to speak: "Why did the Daoming Court disappear? Why did this Daoyu in the Netherworld turn into a ghost?"
Few people know that the Hades Girl is the daughter of the Lord of the Underworld.
However, as the most powerful person in the new era of the Underworld, the Taoist Master naturally knew it. However, even for him, it was difficult to trace the things of the previous era.
Many of these secrets had already disappeared along with Daomingting and could not be touched.
But there is no doubt that the former Daoming Court must have done something earth-shattering, which led to the collapse of the entire heaven and the transformation of the entire underworld into ghosts.
And judging from the results, most of what Dao Mingting planned failed!
Others may not be able to know these things, but as an old member of the Daoming Court and the daughter of the Lord of the Underworld with a very high status, she must know!
But obviously, the Dark Lady did not want to discuss this matter. She just looked at the Taoist Master and said slowly: "It's just like you. Because of ambition and greed, you finally suffered the consequences!"
The Taoist master smiled when he heard this. He looked a little cynical, but suddenly there was a hint of persistence and determination in his eyes. He said, "I don't think there is anything wrong with ambition and greed."
"If you live in this world, you must fight in this world. If you lose, you will die in this world!"
“In the past, there were six great ancient beings in the ancient universe. They all died trying to enter the sixth ancient realm, and their endings were tragic.”
"After that, there were also Qiongyao Fairyland, Desolate God Realm, and Wuling Prison, who also tried to impact the Sixth Ancient Realm and ended up in a miserable way."
"I think the Daoming Court also has the same purpose, and will eventually disappear from the world, causing the Heavenly Dao to collapse and the Daoyu in the underworld to become a ghost."
"Tonight, it is rumored that the Lord of the Floating Dust Realm, Floating Dust Tian, also paid a heavy price for this purpose. He constantly destroyed himself, fought against himself, and divided billions of his bodies, causing the war to spread throughout the Floating Dust Realm."
“Although the endings of these great universes and these powerful predecessors were not very good, it at least proves that they were all fighting for the crossing!”
Upon hearing this, the Hades fell silent.
Ever since Daoming Court disappeared and Dao Yu in the underworld turned into a ghost, she should have returned home, but was forced to stay by Daomingzi.
But in fact, she couldn't judge whether the Underworld was right or wrong, nor could she blame the Lord of the Underworld for being right or wrong!
However, she felt sad and heartbroken for all the living beings in the underworld.
So, from then on she turned into a ghost girl, herding the stars, not competing with anyone, just to purify the karma of all living beings and to open the reincarnation cycle for all ghosts!
Behind the Hades, when Gu Xiaoxing heard the Taoist utter the three words "Fuchentian", a violent aura suddenly rose from his body, startling Fang Qingyun, who was standing beside him, and he looked sideways.
“Fuchentian…! Fuchentian!!”
Gu Xiaoxing whispered in a hoarse voice, which clearly contained an extremely strong hatred and an extremely intense pain!
Fang Qingyun immediately realized something. The reason why Gu Xiaoxing became what he is now might have a lot to do with Fuchentian !
So she did not hesitate, held Gu Xiaoxing's hands tightly with both hands, and whispered the word "Xiaoxing".
It was this kind call that made the pain in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes gradually fade away and he gradually regained his calm.
Although Gu Xiaoxing's voice was not loud and the aura he emitted did not make much noise, it still attracted the attention of the Hades and the Taoist Master.
Especially the Taoist master, he directly cast his gaze on Gu Xiaoxing and instantly saw the difference of Gu Xiaoxing!
The Taoist master devoured countless ghosts before finally successfully stepping into the fifth ancient realm, so he is already very familiar with this underworld Taoist world, whether it is the lonely ghosts or the will ghosts!
In his eyes, Gu Xiaoxing was obviously not a lonely ghost, nor a will ghost, but a more special existence!
In fact, this kind of existence may not even be called a ghost!
Moreover, the Taoist master also saw many clues from this one look!
Since neither the new Heavenly Dao nor the old Heavenly Dao can influence Gu Xiaoxing, it proves that he is not from the Dao of the Underworld!
His roots are not here!
But it is very likely that it comes from other vast universes!
The next moment, the Taoist master's eyes condensed, and the aura of the fifth ancient realm directly crushed Gu Xiaoxing across the distance, and at the same time said indifferently: "You, know Fuchentian?"
However, facing the gaze of the Taoist Master, facing the attention and pressure from the Fifth Ancient Realm, Gu Xiaoxing was not afraid at all. He also looked straight ahead and met the Taoist Master's gaze!
Hatred and pain reappeared in Gu Xiaoxing's eyes, but he spoke resolutely.
"Fuchentian... Damn it!!!"
Such an answer made the Taoist master's pupils shrink!
In fact, the Taoist master doesn’t know much about Fuchentian. All his knowledge comes from rumors!
Because to the Taoist master, Fu Chen Tiancai is the truly powerful one in the entire wilderness!
Even though the Taoist master has already stepped into the fifth ancient realm, he can only look up to the name of Fuchentian and dare not touch it!
Because of Fuchentian, he is the real pinnacle in Huangfuchen, and is as famous as Huanggu, which was once the leader of the six ancient times. Many powerful people in the fifth ancient realm can hardly compare with him!
But there was a "ghost" present who had obviously not even reached the fifth ancient realm, yet he dared to curse Fu Chen Tian to death!
Where on earth did he come from?
Who is he?!
In the Taoist master's mind, such thoughts inevitably arise!
But the Taoist master did not ask any more questions, as he seemed to know that judging from the confused state displayed by Gu Xiaoxing, there would be no answer even if he asked.
He just looked deeply at Gu Xiaoxing, especially at the other party, who did not shy away from looking at him, which made the Taoist master grin and said, “Half a step to the fifth ancient realm, interesting!”
Obviously, he saw through Gu Xiaoxing's cultivation, but this was not enough for the Taoist master to care too much.
Finally, he fixed his gaze on the Hades again.
His target this time is only the Lady of the Underworld!
The next moment, the Taoist master suddenly raised his hand and grabbed, and saw countless white lights turned into threads, gathering in his palm to form a ball of light!
This ball of light is the realm condensed by the Taoist master using his cultivation in the fifth ancient realm and the power of the new heavenly way!
Then, he looked at the Dark Lady with burning eyes and said, "The battle between you and me will take place in this world!"
The Hades Lady did not avoid the fight, but raised her hand and pointed, and immediately countless gray threads were injected into the light ball in the Taoist's palm.
This is the Hades using the power of the old Heavenly Dao to interfere with the Dao Master's world in his palm, making this world no longer simply controlled by the Dao Master, and will not become the Dao Master's home ground, allowing him to take advantage of the terrain!
The original white ball of light turned into gray and white!
The Taoist master did not stop him, but took the first step forward with a strong desire to fight, and his whole body was immersed in the light ball!
The reason for this is that both parties have a tacit understanding that if they, who are in the fifth ancient realm, were to fight here, the impact would be too great!
Therefore, they created their own world and decided the outcome within it!
It can be said that if any of them can finally walk out of the light ball world, it will represent who wins among them!
Just before stepping into the light ball world, the Hades Girl turned back again, glanced at the ghosts, and sighed softly.
"Everyone should accept their fate!"
Afterwards, she also stepped into the light ball world and disappeared without a trace!
In the end, even the gray-white ball of light disappeared without a trace. Not even those who were in the fourth ancient realm or even those who were half a step away from the fifth ancient realm could find any trace of it!
With the departure of the Taoist Master and the Ghost Lady, only hundreds of millions of ghosts and a group of ghost hunters were left on the scene!
The existence of the Taoist Master and the Ghost Lady is equivalent to a deterrent, which not only deters hundreds of millions of ghosts, but also deters a group of ghost hunters!
But at this moment, this deterrence is no longer there!
Therefore, the greed in the eyes of the 130,000 ghost hunters looking at the billions of ghosts was even more undisguised!
Among the billions of ghosts, the tens of thousands of will ghosts have even more ferocious and hideous expressions!
The next moment, someone from the ghost hunter group screamed loudly.
The war is about to begin!
130,000 ghost hunters launched an attack on billions of ghosts at the same time!
Although the ghost hunters are far inferior in numbers, they are not weaker in momentum!
They rushed forward like looting bandits, and those hundreds of millions of ghosts were like mountains of gold and silver, as if if they were a step late, they would miss out on a share!
On the other hand, although the number of ghosts has reached billions, most of them are lonely ghosts without will!
These lonely ghosts will often only passively launch a counterattack after being attacked!
But fortunately, there are nearly ten thousand will ghosts here. Will ghosts are born with the ability to command all ghosts!
So when the ghost hunters launched the charge, these will ghosts led the ghost group and charged towards the ghost hunters at the same time!
In particular, among them, there are two ghost kings of will who are half a step into the fifth ancient realm!
They have followed the Lady of the Underworld for eternity, and have long since had no worries in this underworld. The reason they did not choose to reincarnate is because of this moment!
At this moment, they have no hesitation!
