As soon as he finished speaking, the Judge of Moongazer Serpent shouted, “Applause!”
Clap, clap, clap…
Listening to the endless applause, Lu Yuan’s doubts remained largely unresolved.
“Do we even know each other well?” He thought.
Although he wanted to suppress these thoughts, he could feel that the Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell’s cultivation was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul Stage, moreover, there were a shocking number of ghosts around him.
Lu Yuan finally said politely, “My Lord, the King of Hell, you’re being too serious. However, 1 have something to say. Although 1 am unsure whether 1 should say it or not.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu, feel free to speak,” The King of Hell of Moongazer Serpent said.
“My presence here is not due to the depletion of my life force… but rather because my divine soul has left my physical body.”
“What?!
The reapers, including the King of Hell, exclaimed.
Even the welcoming party from the underworld, who had been playing music and dancing, had stopped.
The King of Hell and Lu Yuan stared at each other. The situation was very awkward.
“Judge, bring me the Book of Life and Death!”
“Yes, sir!”
The Judge of Moongazer Serpent hurriedly took out the Book of Life and Death.
The King of Hell tapped his finger with his tongue and quickly flipped to the page that recorded Lu Yuan.
[Lu Yuan]
[Remaining lifespan: 6,000 years]
Seeing that Lu Yuan indeed had 6,000 years left to live, Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell believed that he was still alive.
This person did not die, but his divine soul had entered the ghost realm. That could only mean one thing, and that was that the other party’s soul had really left the body and entered the ghost realm.
Thinking of this, the King of Hell’s gaze toward Lu Yuan changed. He thought to himself.
“Yes, you’re not dead yet, but if I am to drag you into the ghost realm…”
“After seven days, your physical body will naturally die due to the divine soul leaving your body.
“At that time, wouldn’t you be dead?”
Lu Yuan looked at the King of Hell of Moongazer Serpent, who had turned from a friendly person to a wicked one.
Lu Yuan quickly guessed the other party’s thoughts.
After all, his scheming look was too obvious. Lu Yuan could tell what he was up to with a single glance!
“King of Hell, the way I came to the Ghost Realm might be different from what you think.”
“The divine soul that left my body is actually one of my many divine souls. Therefore, even if this portion of my divine soul stays in the lower realm, it won’t have too much of an impact on me.”
“Therefore, it’s best if my Lord, King of Hell, doesn’t do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable.”
“All! Is that so?
The King of Hell looked at Lu Yuan in confusion, as if trying to determine if Lu Yuan was lying.
Very soon, he discovered that inside Lu Yuan, whose divine soul had left him, the three souls and seven spirits were still there, although they all revealed a trace of illusion.
After a normal person entered the underworld, regardless of how powerful they were, their three souls and seven spirits were very stable.
However, only a small portion of Lu Yuan’s three souls and seven spirits were comparable to ordinary divine souls.
The rest were all illusory, obviously supported by some special means.
This was also in line with the saying that Lu Yuan had many souls in his body.
This divine soul of his should be some kind of extrajudicial incarnation. If he really left it behind, it would definitely have a certain impact on Lu Yuan, but the impact would not be too great.
However, even so, Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell was still a little hesitant.
Although it was just an extrajudicial incarnation, this part of Lu Yuan’s divine soul was still very powerful.
Even from a distance, he could feel the vast power of the heavens in his divine soul.
To ghost cultivators, the power of the heavens engraved in their divine souls was comparable to the spiritual roots of ordinary cultivators.
The more power of the heavens, the more effective it was to increase one’s cultivation.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yuan noticed that the King of Hell had not given up on the idea of keeping his clone.
Lu Yuan rarely chose to not hide his strength.
Rumble!
Just as Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell was thinking, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded above the Gates of Hell.
A majestic Dharma Idol power instantly enveloped the entire scene.
The King of Hell looked at Lu Yuan, who was standing still with his robe fluttering without any wind, and suddenly revealed a shocked expression.
This was because a huge Black Tortoise Dharma Idol had appeared behind Lu Yuan.
Not long after this part of the illusion appeared, it condensed into a huge golden Dharma Sword.
Even the King of Hell felt pressured by the aura of the Dharma Sword.
However, this was not the end.
Golden lightning began to appear around Lu Yuan’s body.
The jumping lightning made the King of Hell sense the real danger.
This guy was actually a Core Formation Stage cultivator?!
Lu Yuan held the Dharma Sword in one hand and the golden lightning in the other. The King of Hell was stunned.
It was already shocking enough for a Core Formation cultivator to display his Dharma Power.
Not to mention Lu Yuan’s strange golden lightning.
How did such a fellow cultivate?
But the King of Hell was no ordinary person.
It was fine if they were in the Living Realm, but now they were in the Ghost Realm.
If he didn’t show the attitude of the King of Hell, wouldn’t he be underestimated by a mere mortal?
Thinking of this, the King of Hell said, “Lu Yuan, since you’ve said so much, then 1 won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you can hurt me today, I can make the decision. No matter what you come to the Ghost Realm for, as long as it doesn’t affect the operation of the Ghost Realm and doesn’t disturb the order of the underworld, 1 won’t stop you.”
Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded indifferently.
Lu Yuan was not surprised by the current situation.
He had thought about it before he came.
As a visitor from the World of Living, there was a high chance that he would not be able to survive in the Ghost Realm if he kept a low profile.
If he wanted to expand his business in the netherworld, how could others trust him if he did not show off his muscles and strength?
Therefore, Lu Yuan was also using this opportunity to show off his strength in front of the Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell.
This was also the reason why Lu Yuan kept to his normal self and was prepared to show his strength.
“Lu Yuan, this isn’t a place for battle. Follow me.”
Lu Yuan put away the Dharma Sword and Nine Heavens Divine Thunder before leaving a hundred miles away from Ghost City with the King of Hell.
This place was enough for the two of them to show off their skills.
The King of Hell looked at Lu Yuan and said with a smile, “1 haven’t fought for a thousand years. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
The King of Hell did not hold back.
Shapeshifting…Moongazer Serpent Yama!
The body of the King of Hell began to expand and eventually turned into a huge crimson ghost king.
The strength of a veteran Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was instantly revealed.
The King of Hell opened his huge mouth and spat out countless ghosts.
Divine ability…Hundred Miles of Ghost Domain!
Countless malicious ghosts roared and flew toward Lu Yuan.
Although these malicious ghosts did not have intelligence, their strength was basically above the Foundation Establishment Stage. Some of the malicious ghosts had even reached the Core Formation Stage.
In response, a black chain suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.
“Soul Reaper Rope?!”
The King of Hell was stunned when he saw Lu Yuan had the Soul Reaper Rope.
A cultivator from the World of Living actually had a Soul Reaper Rope. This was truly a little unexpected.
Shaking!
Lu Yuan’s Soul Reaper Rope flew out and then began to separate.
In the end, it actually formed a chain that filled the sky and flew in the direction of the Moongazer Serpent’s King of Hell.
“Ah!”
After a malicious ghost touched Lu Yuan’s Soul Reaper’s Rope, its movements were immediately restricted.
The same thing happened to many ghosts and monsters.
In an instant, many bounded ghosts appeared in the sky.
However, more ghosts still dodged past Lu Yuan’s Soul Reaper Rope and flew in his direction.
In response, a black staff suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.
“The Wailing Staff?”
Seeing that Lu Yuan had even taken out the Wailing Staff, the King of Hell could no longer hold it in.
A Soul Reaper Rope in his left hand and a Wailing Staff in his right… Was this person really a cultivator of the World of Living?
Lu Yuan, who was holding the Wailing Staff, gave a fierce ghost that was approaching him a head-on blow.
Boom!
The malevolent-looking malicious ghost was immediately shattered by this strike.
Following that, the Wailing Staff in Lu Yuan’s hand left his hand. It continuously expanded as it flew, and finally turned into an incomparably huge black pillar.
The surrounding Soul Reaper Rope immediately connected with this huge rod, and finally formed a special torture tool.
The Soul Reaper Rope, which could only imprison ghosts, began to refine the surrounding evil ghosts after it was connected to the huge Wailing Staff.
The death of these evil spirits was very different. Their tongues were first pulled out before their souls were scattered.
This was the special soul weapon formed by the fusion of the Soul Reaper Rope and the Wailing Staff… Tongue-pulling Hell..
