The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 851: The Ten Kings of Hell

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: The Ten Kings of Hell

Southern Domain of the Heavenly World.

The great war between Yin and Yang had become the hot topic of discussion throughout the Great Qin Heavenly Court, with those gods and demons who had regained their past life memories all exclaiming in shock.

"The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord? Is that for real?"

Yang Jian’s eyes widened as he stood in the courtyard, accompanied by Roaring Sky Dog, Sun Wukong, Yuan Hong, Li Yuanba, Nezha, Red Boy, and Luo Shixin. These gods and demons were all belligerent, with a similar fondness for battle.

"It was indeed the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord... Could it be a coincidence?"

"It must be true, he easily defeated Randeng!"

"If we could be reincarnated into this world, why not the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord?"

"The Elderly Lord is quite decent, I’ll have to ask him for some pills next time we meet."

The gods and demons voiced their opinions, the most excited among them being Sun Wukong. In his past life, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had greatly aided him, especially after blending the memory of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, he had come to understand much.

With the cultivation of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, it would have been effortless for him to kill Sun Wukong, but he allowed Sun Wukong to steal the pills and even placed him in the pill furnace, rapidly integrating the medicinal effects and developing his fiery eyes and golden pupils. Although on his journey to the West, the treasures of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had caused him quite some trouble, none had truly threatened his life.

Yang Jian and Nezha, however, began to worry. After all, he was a split body of a sage and belonged to another power; if they were to go to war with the Great Qin Heavenly Court in the future, that would be problematic.

"What’s the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord anyway? With me, Luo Shixin, here, there’s nothing to fear!" Luo Shixin slapped his chest in guarantee, leaving the likes of Yang Jian speechless.

Sun Wukong retorted without any good temper, "With just you? You’re not even worth one of the Elderly Lord’s fingers!"

Now, Sun Wukong had already broken through to the middle stage of the Immortal Realm, far surpassing Luo Shixin.

But Luo Shixin was the ancestor of the Qilin. Upon hearing this, he instantly exploded with rage, flipping the table and ready to fight Sun Wukong for three thousand rounds.

The courtyard plunged into chaos instantly.

Inside Taibai Mansion, Evening Star held the message scroll in hand and couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.

"The Elderly Lord has come..." Evening Star’s expression was incredibly complex.

For these gods and demons from the time-space of Journey to the West, the deterrent power of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was tremendous.

It even surpassed the shock brought about by Tathāgata and Randeng, not because the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was terrifying, but because of the Elderly Lord’s true self, the holy Laozi.

"The heavens are truly changing," Evening Star sighed. He had a close relationship with the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord and deeply knew his fearsomeness, so he was not surprised that the Elderly Lord could fight the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny.

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord had that kind of strength!

...

At nightfall.

King Yan City floated in the air, while the ground below was fragmented and broken; the ravines underneath the night sky looked terrifying.

Qin Jun sat cross-legged in his sleeping chamber, and ordered the system, "Begin the god and demon summoning!"

After the war had ended, the entire King Yan City had fallen into silence; all beings needed rest, including Qin Jun himself, but he planned to take advantage of this joyous energy to summon a powerful god or demon.

"Ding! Starting random god and demon summoning!"

The system notification sounded in Qin Jun’s mind, and his heart settled into calmness.

Don’t disappoint me!

Qin Jun thought to himself. In the next second, the system notification rang again:

"Ding! Congratulations, Host has summoned Cowherd from the mythological legends. Would you like to summon again?"

Cowherd...

Qin Jun’s lips twitched as he asked, "System, are you trying to slap my face?"

"Summon again!"

Cowherd, what sort of thing is that, good for nothing but showing off affection?

Qin Jun mocked in his heart, and the system commenced the re-summoning.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host has summoned the King of Hell, from the mythological legends. Would you like to summon again?"

King of Hell?

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up. He had finally summoned another deity from the Netherworld, and the King of Hell was the ruler of the Underworld in mythology, although there were even stronger entities behind him.

When mentioning the King of Hell, people often think of the Ten Kings of Hell: the first hall’s King Guang of Qin, the second’s River King of Chu, the third’s Song Emperor, the fourth’s King of the Five Offices, the fifth’s King of Hell, the sixth’s King Biancheng, the seventh’s Mount Tai King, the eighth’s King of the City, the ninth’s King of Equality, and the tenth’s Turning Wheel King!

With the popularity of "Journey to the West," the name of the King of Hell became the most renowned, although he appeared quite pathetic in "Journey to the West," where Sun Wukong tore up the Book of Life and Death, and he could only report to the Heavenly Court.

However, considering that "Journey to the West" might well be part of a conspiracy, in the face of overwhelming forces, the King of Hell could only bow his head. At least in "Journey to the West," the King of Hell never showed his hand; thus, his power was difficult to estimate.

"It’s him, restore the memories of his past life!"

Qin Jun decided. With the memories of his past life restored, the King of Hell would bring his experience in controlling the Netherworld to bear. Joining forces with Zhong Kui, they could progressively undermine the Netherworld.

He then instructed the system to bring up the attribute list of the King of Hell:

"King of Hell, from mythology!"

"Identity: King Yan!"

"Cultivation: Early Daluo Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Netherworld King of Hell Technique!"

"Divine Power: Hell’s Judgment! Yin and Yang Traverse!"

"Magical treasure: Book of Life and Death! Judgement Pen!"

"Loyalty: 81 (full value 100)!"

Early Daluo Immortal Realm?

Qin Jun widened his eyes, somewhat disbelieving. Was this really the same coward from "Journey to the West"?

"As the King of Hell of the Underworld, he definitely cannot be weak. Moreover, in ’Journey to the West,’ the King of Hell never showed his hand. This level of cultivation is based on various versions of mythology and folklore, already at the pinnacle of mythology. Although the King of Hell suffered a setback before Sun Wukong, that happened under the dominance of Buddhism, after all, the King of Hell is associated with Taoism and had to submit," the system explained.

Qin Jun finally understood, but even now Sun Wukong was still more powerful than the King of Hell. Tsk, the King of Hell was destined not to be able to wash away his shame.

It was worth mentioning that the King of Hell actually carried with him the Book of Life and Death and the Judgement Pen.

He didn’t want to think too much about it; having more magical treasures was always a good thing.

"Nether Emperor, your nightmare is just beginning!" Qin Jun sneered.

With his son killed, the Nether Emperor would certainly not let this vendetta go. Before he left, he had even uttered threats. Since he refused to stop, Qin Jun would make sure he never recovers!

...

In the Netherworld.

In a dark palace, the Nether Emperor knelt before a massive stone stele engraved with various strange characters and symbols, obscure and difficult to understand, with nothing else in the hall but dozens of oil lamps.

His face fierce, he clenched his fists tight, and said in a cold voice, "Yan Emperor! Crossing to Evil! Grand Supreme Elderly Lord! Randeng! Sword Master! This seat vows that you shall have terrible deaths!"

The defeat of the previous day had completely shattered the Nether Emperor’s pride.

He couldn’t accept it!

He wanted revenge!

As for the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, he didn’t resent him. Although the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny’s words were unpleasant, if it weren’t for his appearance, the Nether Emperor might have died.

"Father, save me..."

In a haze, the Nether Emperor heard the call of Young Master You, startling him enough to look around, but it was just a hallucination.

After a long while.

The Nether Emperor began to kowtow before the stele, the sound of his forehead striking the stone echoing in the hall, adding a more terrifying ambience.

"What business do you have to summon me?"

A voice, full of majesty, suddenly emerged from the stone stele, causing the Nether Emperor’s body to tremble.

He wouldn’t dare to summon from the stele if he weren’t driven by circumstances and powerless to do otherwise.
