Chapter 548: Chapter 385: The Underworld Shocks Chaos, The Powerful Vast Wilderness

"Life and death aside, we have never slain a Saint Emperor before," Di Jiang said, looking at the many Saint Emperors with a grave voice, "A battle naturally needs a wager. If you lose, we will take your life essence after your fall!"

Upon hearing these words, all the strong factions present were extremely shocked. What was he talking about? Did he believe he could win?

Just now when the ancestral witches accepted the challenge, they thought these people were arrogant enough, but now it seemed they had underestimated their arrogance?

At this moment, even the War God and others were taken aback, but soon they laughed.

"Good! If you lose, you must also hand over your life essence," the War God said.

"Agreed!" Di Jiang immediately accepted the challenge.

The fighting Saint Emperors were envious.

Incarnations of Laws—if they could get one, whether for personal use or trade, it would be extremely beneficial.

"The ancestral witches have gotten smarter," Di Jun pondered from afar.

Before, the ancestral witches had a flaw in their origin, and the Demon Clan couldn’t suppress them.

Now, the ancestral witches must have repaired their origin, which surely made them stronger.

But if the ancestral witches had improved, so had he, Di Jun.

"The battle begins, life and death aside!"

As the words fell, the leading War God manifested a long spear in his hand.

The spear glowed with a bloody radiance.

The War God, as the god of war, was the vanguard under the Supreme of Light.

Even during the peaceful times in Chaos, the Spear of the War God he held was invincible, and it’s unknown how many creatures and worlds were destroyed by his hand.

The Spear of the War God, which had been with him through the long years, was now tainted with blood, and even without movement, it exuded an endless oppressive killing intent!

"As expected, the War God has already touched the threshold of the limits of the Laws. What he has realized is... the path of war," many were astonished.

"Die!" the War God made his move, swinging the long spear.

An endless fighting spirit converged upon him, and numerous phantoms appeared behind him.

This strike, heaven-shattering and earth-splitting, was powerful enough to pierce through worlds.

"I’ll take you on!" A figure stepped forward to strike first.

Houtu!

To this, Di Jiang and the others did not show off their prowess.

Although the twelve ancestral witches were now much stronger and had become incarnations of Laws, they still fell short against an opponent at the threshold of the Laws.

Houtu might be the youngest among the twelve ancestral witches, but her strength was the strongest!

Raising her hand, the profound Law of Earth surged forth, turning into a raging torrent that headed towards the War God.

In the next instant, Houtu’s figure flickered, and she instantly changed her appearance.

Gowned in robes, her head crowned.

This form was that of a calming presence.

A calming presence, who ruled over the netherworld!

In just a moment, under the watchfull eyes of all, numerous phantoms appeared behind Houtu.

The Naihe Bridge, Three-Life Stone, Wangchuan River, the Tower of Sins, the Eighteen Levels of Hell...

Various shadows of the netherworld all emerged!

"What is this?!" everyone was astonished.

This was the first time the netherworld showed itself in the Chaos universe, and the spectacle was magnificent.

Most importantly, these phantoms were coated with the air of returning to darkness. In all epochs of Chaos, death was the end, and this was the essence of all that perished.

In Chaos, the one most adept in this path was the Holy Emperor of Dead Souls.

And at this moment, the Holy Emperor of Dead Souls looked at Houtu, dumbfounded.

He presided over the River of Undead Souls, and nearly a third of all souls in the Chaos universe would fall into it.

Do not underestimate this third, for it represented the fall of countless living beings.

"No, this is not just about returning to darkness; there’s also vitality and creation! How can life and death coexist so harmoniously together?" the Holy Emperor of Dead Souls couldn’t believe it.

His dominion over the River of Undead Souls was the final destination for the dead.

Those souls that fell into the river would descend, becoming the deceased.

But behind Houtu, where the netherworld manifested, creation flowed within the darkness; amidst death, there was rebirth!

Unbelievable!

It was also at this time that the War God’s attack came crashing down, colliding with Houtu’s palm.

The power was so immense that it shattered Chaos itself.

Yet in this strike, Houtu did not fall behind, stunning everyone.

In their memory, Houtu, when she first appeared, was just a mere Saint King, inconspicuous.

And now, she could exchange blows with such a pinnacle Saint Emperor?

She... What kind of fortune had she attained?

At that time, Di Jiang said, "Brothers, this is our first battle among All Heavens, fight well. Whoever loses must apologize before the Chaos Martial Ancestor!"

"We can’t afford to lose this face!" Zhu Jiu Yin turned into a glint of light amidst laughter, charging towards a Saint Emperor.

The rest of the ancestral witches each revealed their Divine Skills, finding their own opponents.

Di Jiang was facing Xiu Yuan.

"Having such strength right after breaking through to Saint Emperor is indeed rare, but... this is where it ends!" Xiu Yuan laughed.

Xiu Yuan was among the top-ranked in the Secret Forces, a pinnacle Saint Emperor who had even touched the threshold of the Laws.

To him, dealing with a recently ascended Saint Emperor should be easy, right?

Everyone thought so, and no one was optimistic about Di Jiang!

"Decay!" Xiu Yuan’s way also had an aspect of time.

The meaning of decay, mixed with a hint of end, was quite a powerful aspect of the Laws.

Those bands tinged with a dark presence shot towards Di Jiang at great speed.

"Space!" Di Jiang snorted coldly, and his massive true form appeared behind him.

This form was unmistakably Di Jiang’s.

In that instant, when the phantom appeared, that space seemed to have completely fallen under Di Jiang’s control.

When the two clashed, the magnitude of their battle was massive!

"These ancestral witches are truly powerful. Although they seem to be at a slight disadvantage, they do not show any signs of outright defeat!"

Remember, the opponents of the ancestral witches were all Peak Holy Emperors.

There was hardly any fairness to speak of.
