Chapter 542: Chapter 459: Great Battle in the Underworld, Four Quasi-Saints

The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation swept toward King Taiyou. As a Quasi-Saint who had survived since the Primordial Era, Empress Houtu naturally had confidence, especially within the Underworld, where she didn’t fear facing King Taiyou at all.

"Indeed, stubborn and incorrigible!"

King Taiyou sneered, his Taiyou Sword seeming to split the very sky of the Underworld.

With a ripping sound, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was torn apart, heading straight for Empress Houtu.

Empress Houtu raised her hand and summoned the Reincarnation Halo of the Six Paths of Reincarnation to her hand from behind her.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation were transformed by Empress Houtu’s profound power, much like a supreme treasure of merit.

The Samsara Circle of the Bitter Sea she had now transformed into was a tangible object, with infinite power.

It went directly towards King Taiyou.

In an instant, a clattering sound erupted.

Although Empress Houtu had the advantage of location, it was not easy for Quasi-Saints to determine a victor, but for Empress Houtu, as long as she held onto her opponent, preventing this so-called King Taiyou from breaking through, the Six Paths of Reincarnation could naturally be closed.

With her power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation guarding this place, Fengdu City could remain unharmed.

Inside, the Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals under the leadership of the Ten Great Ghost Kings and Twelve Yin Generals continuously attacked the ghosts below.

Compared to that, the evil ghosts that roamed outside Fengdu City and kept attacking suffered as every aftershock could clear a large area.

More ghosts were continuously coming, but the replenish rate was far lower than the consumption rate of the ghosts now.

It wouldn’t even take too long. As long as Empress Houtu and King Taiyou fought here for half a day, these ghosts would be almost completely extinguished.

"Hahaha, Empress Houtu, do you really think that by stopping me, they can close the Six Paths of Reincarnation? You underestimate our Demon Clan!"

Seeing that he could not break through Empress Houtu’s defense anytime soon, King Taiyou’s face didn’t show any sign of worry or dismay; instead, he burst into laughter.

"You..."

Empress Houtu was startled by these words, and involuntarily looked deeper into the Underworld.

In the distance, the Ten Yama Kings had just arrived at Reincarnation City, the place where the Reincarnation King resided, and also where they could close the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Once the Six Paths were closed, Yellow Springs Water would flood over Naihe Bridge, preventing all ghosts from entering reincarnation.

However, just as they reached Reincarnation City, another powerful aura burst forth from the city.

"One of the Four Great Demon Kings under the Demon Ancestor, Zhenyu, along with the Ten Yama Kings, I, once more, respectfully awaited your arrival for a long time!"

A rugged man stood at the battlements of Reincarnation City, addressing the hastily arriving Ten Yama Kings.

The Ten Yama Kings immediately halted their footsteps, watching the newcomer with trepidation.

Empress Houtu was already engaged in a battle in Fengdu City with a mysterious person and couldn’t disengage to help them.

With another Quasi-Saint appearing in Reincarnation City, they couldn’t close the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Should the Demon Clan gain control of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, allowing those evil ghosts to undergo reincarnation, it could lead to another great catastrophe in the Three Realms.

However, the coldness in Zhenyu King’s eyes grew even more intense.

The closure of the Six Paths of Reincarnation required the joint effort of the Ten Yama Kings.

If they could take care of one or two of them first, then even if they had more capabilities, they wouldn’t be able to close the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Of course, destroying Reincarnation City naturally meant closing the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But once Reincarnation City was destroyed to close the Six Paths of Reincarnation, reopening it wouldn’t be so feasible.

"Ancestral Witch Xingtian, at your service, Fellow Daoist!"

Just as the Ten Halls’ Yama Kings felt utterly depleted, a streak of light sped from the distance and positioned itself at the gate of Reincarnation City, addressing Zhenyu King.

Zhenyu King clearly did not expect anyone else to come, and his laughter stopped abruptly, his gaze towards Xingtian becoming grave.

"Although this is not the land of my Shamanic Tribe, since it is ruled by Empress Houtu, I absolutely cannot allow you to cause chaos, Fellow Daoist. Please proceed!"

Xingtian, holding a great axe and headless, could still make a resounding noise.

They were all Quasi-Saints and naturally wouldn’t fight inside Reincarnation City.

If Reincarnation City were destroyed, the Six Paths of Reincarnation would also be forced closed.

Zhenyu King soared into the sky, and Xingtian followed him immediately.

The voice yet fell into the ears of the Ten Yama Kings, "Gentlemen, hasten to close the Six Paths of Reincarnation, do not delay!"

"Thank you, Great God Xingtian!"

The Ten Yama Kings all bowed and spoke in unison.

"Brothers, let us act quickly; the earlier we close the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the sooner our mission is accomplished!"

King Qin Guang looked at the massive explosions occurring intermittently in the sky, addressing the others.

No one dared to speak against closing the Six Paths of Reincarnation again, a battle involving four Quasi-Saints stemming from one issue in the Underworld. If the Six Paths of Reincarnation were not closed, who knew what further calamities might follow.

Beneath the main hall in the center of Reincarnation City, there was a Samsara Pool.

It radiated powerful forces of Reincarnation.

The Ten Yama Kings stood by the Samsara Pool, not daring to slack, their hands rapidly manipulating seals and their mouths chanting the True Scriptures.

For a moment, Daoist Charm circulated around ten individuals, celestial secrets suddenly appeared, and a dense layer of seals emerged above the Samsara Pool.

...

Meanwhile, above the Eastern Sea.

"Fellow Daoist Wutian, what brings you here?"

Wang Yang, originally preparing to return to Mount Huaguo, felt the presence of Wutian and thus greeted him.

Seeing Wutian’s unfriendly face, he stopped him right there.

"Fellow Daoist, why would Ancestral Witch Xingtian appear in the Underworld?"

Wutian came with a blaming tone.

"Why? When there’s trouble in the Underworld, they naturally go there!"
