Chapter 802: Chapter 821 Nine Nether Tower

The day alternates with night, and the stars shine brilliantly. The Thunderclap Monastery has no dome to cover it, and when one looks up, they see the vast expanse of stars in a silent and serene surrounding.

Ye Xuan, dressed in a moon-white monk robe, sits cross-legged on the Buddha’s Golden Lotus. He fingers a string of Buddha Beads in his hands, chanting the Vajra Sutra in a low voice, the solemn and profound sound of his recitation slightly echoing within the Thunderclap Monastery.

However, if someone were to stand before Ye Xuan, they would be horrified to find that his expression is sinister, with no trace of Buddhist peace and compassion.

“Nine Nether Tower?”

Suddenly, the sound of Ye Xuan’s chanting came to an abrupt halt, and he blurted out these three words, an eerie smile appearing on his lips.

The Nine Nether Tower is not well-known in the Three Realms, and few people know that it is a forbidden area of Lingshan, imprisoning many evil demons of the cosmos.

But Ye Xuan is well aware that the heavenly evil demons suppressed within the Nine Nether Tower are extraordinary beings, the lowest among them being Daluo Golden Immortals, and many are at the Quasi-Saint level.

During the Primordial Beginning, the Western Two Saints subdued demons and evildoers. How could the demons that required their personal intervention be ordinary characters?

There are several forbidden areas in this world, the Nine Nether Tower being one of them, and the Eighteen Layers of Hell being another. But the world only knows the terror of the Eighteen Layers of Hell, unaware of the terrifying demons within the Nine Nether Tower.

“Heavenly evil demons?”

“Interesting, truly interesting. I wonder how these ancient evil demons compare to me, the evil demon of this life?”

Ye Xuan rises from the Buddha’s Golden Lotus and walks out of the Thunderclap Monastery under the starlit sky, a Buddha Light rising behind him, his face once more adopting a look of compassion and peace.

The Nine Nether Tower, located in the deepest part of Lingshan, is surrounded by a desolate stone forest without a trace of vegetation. The pitch-black tower’s body soars into the clouds, shrouded in mist, giving one the feeling of viewing flowers in the fog.

Ye Xuan stands beneath the Nine Nether Tower, smiling as he observes the entire tower. Buddhist inscriptions of suppression are engraved on its body, resembling golden chains.

A stone door, black as ink, where two Arhats stand on either side, clearly marks the entrance to the Nine Nether Tower. When the two Arhats see Ye Xuan appear here, they anxiously greet him with reverence.

“Buddha!”

“Hmm.”

Ye Xuan nods, his face always bearing a peaceful smile, giving off a harmless impression.

“Bowing to the Buddha, Randeng has already been imprisoned within the Nine Nether Tower; he certainly can’t escape. Please be at ease, Buddha,” one of the Arhats obsequiously says.

“Open the Nine Nether Tower.”

Ye Xuan takes a deep look at the dark portal, his voice still calm and steady, giving the impression of a spring breeze.

“Open… the Nine Nether Tower?”

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the two Arhats are stunned on the spot, and then their expressions change dramatically as they protest, “Buddha, you must not! The Nine Nether Tower imprisons the many evil demons of the cosmos, and you, as the foremost Buddha of Lingshan, cannot be tainted by the filth of these demons.”

“Open it.”

Ye Xuan furrows his brow, the smile on his face gradually fading, causing the two Arhats’ expressions to change slightly. They exchange a glance and can only comply with Ye Xuan’s command, being that Ye Xuan is the true ruler of Lingshan.

Buzz!

Two Demon Suppressing Golden Seals are cast by the two Arhats, instantly merging into the dark portal, causing the Nine Nether Tower to begin undergoing mystical changes.

Rumble!

The Nine Nether Tower seems to tremble, with the Buddhist aphorisms engraved on its body becoming illusory. Amidst the rumbling sound, the dark portal slowly opens.

Awooo!

Suddenly, the earth and sky shake, the void trembles, and the opened Nine Nether Tower spews a raging black wind, along with a thick scent of blood, as if the abyss of hell that devours all. The terrifying roars of the evil demons shake the Divine Soul, and the two Arhats are drenched in cold sweat, retreating continually in fear.

“Buddha!”

The two Arhats tremble in speech, eager to close the portal quickly, obviously fearing that the evil demons within the Nine Nether Tower are too terrifying. Keeping the portal open for even a breath longer poses great risks, and should any evil demons escape, Lingshan would face unimaginable destruction.

“Great benevolence!”

Ye Xuan slightly smiles, but a fierce look crosses his face, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. Under the astonished and horrified gaze of the two Arhats, Ye Xuan strides into the Nine Nether Tower.

“Buddha, entering the Nine Nether Tower is unthinkable.” The two Arhats anxiously shout, never expecting that Ye Xuan would risk himself by entering the Nine Nether Tower.

One cannot blame them for such a reaction, considering that the Nine Nether Tower is a place for suppressing the cosmos’ evil demons; these are extremely terrifying beings. It’s not just these evil demons, within the tower are also Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, and even a Quasi-Saint would face catastrophe upon entering.

Regrettably, Ye Xuan seems not to hear their warnings. He enters the Nine Nether Tower under the astonished and terrified gaze of the two Arhats. As the dark portal closes with a rumble, Ye Xuan vanishes from their sight.

“It’s bad, Qingming Buddha has entered the Nine Nether Tower. We must quickly inform the other Buddhas.”

The two Arhats exchange a glance, both seeing the heaviness in each other’s eyes, and not daring to delay for an instant, they transform into two Escape Lights and depart, clearly to report to the various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas about Ye Xuan’s entry into the Nine Nether Tower.

Nine Nether Tower, the place where the cosmos’ evil demons are suppressed. Even the Buddhas of Lingshan would throw demons into the Nine Nether Tower while acting outside, but they would never dare enter themselves, for anyone who has entered the Nine Nether Tower has never returned.

At this moment, Ye Xuan has recklessly entered the Nine Nether Tower, a behavior tantamount to seeking death. If anything really happens to him, the Western Buddhas would inevitably bear a great responsibility, making it difficult to explain to the Western Two Saints.

Nine Nether Tower!

Whoo whoo whoo!

The stench of blood churns, vicious spirits and demonic beings prowl, the Bone-Cutting Gale howls within the Nine Nether Tower. The oppressively dark space reveals no end, and a wide straight path stretches upward, with scattered bones lying upon the ground.

Awooo!

Several dreadful ghostly figures suddenly appear above Ye Xuan, their blood-red eyes terrifying in the darkness, their mouths letting out weird chuckles, crazily pouncing at Ye Xuan.

“Evil spirits, seeking death!”

Ye Xuan coldly laughs, the Great Sun Buddha Light erupts, instantly transforming these ghosts into wisps of white smoke, leaving behind an area filled with wailing cries.

“Amitabha!”

Ye Xuan’s gray-white hair hangs behind him, dressed in the moon-white monk robe, walking forward leisurely. The Buddha Light around him blazes like a golden sun, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

“Ah!”

Wisps of black smoke crack apart with a bang, tearing cries coming from the ghosts hiding in the darkness. It is clear that the Buddha Light around Ye Xuan is their nemesis, any slight contact brings them tremendous disaster.
