Chapter 588 - 31: Reincarnation of the Lord of the Netherworld, Manifestation of Yuan Tu and Abi

The young man was more than pleased with the promise Li Boyang had made, it even exceeded his expectations.

Setting aside the ultimate goal of the [Path of the Primordial].

Li Boyang’s remaining three promises corresponded to three identities that were theoretically incompatible, effectively maxing out the benefits.

In this era, only Li Boyang had the ability to make such promises.

Even if it were the Lord of the Netherworld himself, he could at most achieve the last point.

"Agreed!"

Finally, he glanced at Li Boyang with a light chuckle.

The figure of the young man turned and disappeared into the sky above the South Sea.

This Lord of the Netherworld, who had existed since ancient times, was about to undergo yet another unknown number of reincarnations.

This time, he would completely abandon his identity as the Lord of the Netherworld and enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation like ordinary living beings, to practice his [Way of Life and Death].

Rumble...

Suddenly, the skies of Heaven, Earth, and Human realms darkened simultaneously.

The Buddhas and Demon Kings of the Six Desire Heavens looked up at the sky, a trace of astonishment appearing on their faces.

The Yin Spirits and ghost souls of the Netherworld also looked up at the sky, seeing a massive face fading in and out of view.

Even the living beings of the present world, when they looked up, saw an extraordinary phenomenon of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning.

— The Lord of the Netherworld entered the cycle of reincarnation.

This was a rare event happening once every few thousand years.

It was remembered that the last time the Lord of the Netherworld reincarnated was during the era of Celestial Emperor Hao’s reign ten thousand years ago.

This time, with the enhancement of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Three Souls system, the momentum of the Lord of the Netherworld’s reincarnation was grander and its impact more profound.

Correspondingly, the reincarnated body of the Lord of the Netherworld became more concealed and difficult to find.

Unless the reincarnated body appeared by itself.

Otherwise, the scenario where Emperor Hao captured him last time would almost never happen again.

To be honest, it was only because of the various major events occurring frequently in the past twenty or thirty years due to Li Boyang’s birth.

Otherwise, this reincarnation of the Lord of the Netherworld would have attracted more attention.

Despite this, some farsighted pathfinders or those from other time spaces realized the unusual nature of this reincarnation.

"Is it because of the Queen Mother of the West?"

Deep within the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, an unformed Evil Ghost crawled out of the mire.

This Evil Ghost also looked up at the sky, but there was no trace of respect or awe for the Lord of the Netherworld in his eyes.

Until the mire beneath his feet transformed into a rank-one Blood Lotus.

Only then did the Evil Ghost gradually escape the resentment surrounding him and transform into a handsome young man.

"It seems I’ve come to a prosperous era!"

A slightly sinister arc formed at the corner of his mouth, the young man formed from the Evil Ghost then turned his gaze to the Blood Lotus beneath his feet.

The next moment, the young man suddenly drew two serrated and tusked swords from the Blood Lotus.

One sword was entirely blood-colored, exuding intense battle lust and killing intent, like a creature forever thirsting for blood.

The other sword was entirely dark, lacking explicit lethal intent, yet its hidden malevolent thoughts surpassed the former.

"Yuan Tu, Abi, this time, we will indeed succeed in attaining the Way!"

As a pathfinder from the future, the young man was the most bloodthirsty and belligerent Asura among the Eight Divisions.

In the young man’s time, he led an Asura invasion into the Netherworld to forcibly advance his path of slaughter, instigating a war that swept through the Three Realms.

The result was the Asuras slaughtering the Nine Springs and wreaking havoc across the Six Paths, inciting the wrath of Emperor Fengdu, who then suppressed them under the Six Celestial Ghost Gods Palace.

In that lifetime, the young man was named "Yuan Tu," the first Asura King.

The young man then took an all-or-nothing gamble, venturing into the River of Time, causing his consciousness to descend into a chaotic parallel reality.

This time, the young man became wiser; he did not lead an aggressive Asura invasion into the Netherworld.

Instead, he successfully transformed the Asura Race from one of the Eight Divisions into one of the myriad celestial races through prolonged migration, assimilation, and reincarnation.

Even one of the Six Paths, "Demon Path," was renamed to Asura Path because of this.

Unfortunately, even though the Asuras eventually rid themselves of the essence of "desire among all beings," their male warlike nature and female seductive nature still labeled them as symbols of war and calamity.

With no other option, the young man had to reclaim the Yuan Tu Sword, to reaffirm the slaughter path.

This time, with sufficient preparation, the young man successfully shattered the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, creating an Abyssal Path specifically to accommodate the Asura Race.

Thus, the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs fractured.

The Evil Ghosts suppressed within returned to the mortal world, causing chaos to break out once more across the Three Realms.

Whether it was fortunate or regrettable, the Emperor Fengdu of this era did not act again, replaced by a God of Slaughter also verifying the path of slaughter—Zhen Wu.

The outcome was predictable, forcing the young man to once more abandon the idea of affirming the path in this era.

His concept of slaughter for the second affirmation manifested into a second slaughter weapon—the Abi Sword.

Roar!

With the divine power of the Yuan Tu and Abi swords unleashed.

Deep within the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs, a Secret Realm simultaneously connected to the Six Desire Heavens and the Netherworld quietly formed.

This was the Abyssal Path, an endless blood sea.

With the surging of the blood sea, the Asuras of the Six Desire Heavens were summoned, their eyes wide like bronze bells, gazing incredulously at the Abyssal Path.

In the depths of their hearts, a thought imprint appeared out of thin air.

This thought imprint informed the Asuras that if they were willing to enter the Abyssal Path, they could free themselves from the binds of "desire among all beings" and be reborn with a new identity.

To be honest, this is equivalent to simultaneously exploiting the loopholes of the Six Desire Heavens and the Netherworld.

No need to erode memories and obsessions...

No worry about reincarnating into some lowly creature...

Asuras birthed in the Six Desire Heavens could transform into the Asura Race of the Abyssal Path in this alternative way.

"Hmm?"

The Lord of the Netherworld and Li Boyang almost simultaneously sensed the emergence of the Abyssal Path.

The Lord of the Netherworld, already with one foot in reincarnation, chose to acquiesce after a brief silence.

The Abyssal Path brought new changes to the Netherworld, which were not a bad thing for the Lord of the Netherworld.

Compared to eternal order, no matter what results these changes ultimately brought, they held worth for his reflection.

Since the Lord of the Netherworld had no objections, Li Boyang naturally would not interfere with these changes.

On the contrary, after a simple divination, Li Boyang gazed at the Abyssal Path with evident interest.

"Abyssal Path?"

"If the Nine Prisons and Nine Springs could indeed evolve into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, it wouldn’t be an uninteresting transformation."

"However, do you truly have the confidence to surpass Zhen Wu?"

With inexplicable anticipation and curiosity, Li Boyang withdrew his gaze, turning back to the sky where wind, rain, thunder, and storms raged.
