Chapter 1432: Receive My Bow (Third Update)
The expression on the face of the King of the Underworld had not yet frozen, as if he had not expected that the combined strength of these five would be so terrifying. Indeed, he had not expected it.
Although Qin Mu had said that he would beat the King of the Underworld until he was rolling on the ground in front of the four Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, in reality, it was Qin Mu who had been beaten until he was rolling on the ground. If Qin Mu had not forced Bai Yuqiong to make a move, he really might have been killed by the King of the Underworld.
But times had changed.
Qin Mu's strength had undergone earth-shattering improvements since then. He had cultivated to the twenty-sixth level of the Dao Realm, and his cultivation base had also reached the Nine Hell Platforms. In the battle at the Taiji Star Domain of the Ancestral Court, he could stand firm against the Empress Dowager without being defeated, and he could break into the Divine Execution Platform of the Ancestral Court without dying!
When he joined forces with the Butcher and the other four, they could elevate their Dao Realm to the thirtieth level, imprinting the Great Dao across thirty layers of void!
Having cultivated to this step, Qin Mu was full of confidence. He even believed that the five of them working together could exchange one or two moves with a Heavenly Venerate without being annihilated. That was why he insisted on going to the Mystic Capital!
Because the King of the Underworld only had four Heavenly Palaces of his own, relying on the effect of the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate to have eight Heavenly Palaces, facing such ferocious five opponents, he naturally lost his head to a single slash.
However, the King of the Underworld's greatest strength was not his magical power, nor his cultivation realm, but his Reincarnation Great Dao and Reincarnation Divine Ability.
Although he was split in two by a single slash, and even the small Heavenly Court formed by his eight Heavenly Palaces was cleaved apart, the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate behind him was erupting with strange power, forcibly pulling the split gate back together.
When his corpse passed through the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate, a strange scene occurred. The Nether Sea beneath the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate suddenly surged forth, with rolling waves of water, all composed of the black sand of souls, pitch black without end.
The waves of the Nether Sea crashed violently, striking against the Heavenly Gate. At the moment the King of the Underworld's corpse passed through the gate, his figure vanished, and what flew out from behind the gate was a half-god with the bloodline of the Black Tortoise—a dragon head, tortoise back, and human body, standing on the surface of the sea.
As early as back then, when the Woodcutter Sage and others were rescuing Emperor Yi Yue, Emperor Yi Yue, the Lady of Heavenly Yin, Tian Shu, King Yan, and other experts had surrounded and attacked the King of the Underworld. They fought bitterly for a hundred battles but could never take him down.
At that time, they had killed the King of the Underworld several times and destroyed his physical body several times, but the King of the Underworld could always rely on the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate to restore himself to completeness. Passing through the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate was equivalent to being reborn once—not only could he change between male and female at will, but he could even change species!
This was the effect of the Reincarnation Great Dao.
The King of the Underworld was shocked and furious in his heart. He raised his head, and coming straight toward him was another blade light descending from the heavens!
That blade light split the just-reformed Nether Capital Heavenly Gate in one slash, cutting down from the top of his new body's head.
"Pastoral Heavenly Venerate, your mother's—"
Before he could even finish his sentence, he was split in two by a single slash. He used the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate to reincarnate and be reborn, but before he could even steady himself, he was slain by the combined force of Qin Mu, the Butcher, and the other five!
The Nether Capital Heavenly Gate rumbled and shook, sinking into the Nether Sea together with the corpse of the Black Tortoise King of the Underworld.
The Nether Sea suddenly vanished, then reappeared behind the camp of the Northern Heaven Nether Capital army. The Nether Capital Heavenly Gate rose up once more, and the King of the Underworld was reborn from behind the gate.
The small boat charged straight ahead, crashing into the camp of the Northern Heaven Nether Capital army, smashing through one towering ship after another, heading straight for the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate.
"Green history illuminating a loyal heart!"
On the boat, Qin Mu and the other five roared together, jointly driving the Thirtieth Level of the Blade Dao. When this slash was unleashed, it seemed that what flew out was not blade light, but countless magnificent writings—one stirring passage after another, with words like dragons and serpents dancing. The Dao sounds erupting from the Blade Dao were not as sacred, solemn, or profound as those of the innate Great Dao.
The Dao sounds erupting from the Blade Dao were like unrolling a scroll of human history. One glorious and towering figure after another stood up from the green history scroll, mighty and vigorous.
They shone with boundless radiance. Some used the brush as a blade, denouncing the injustice of the Heavenly Dao, questioning the incompetence of monarchs, and interrogating the faults of the gods.
Others led by example—moving mountains when mountains blocked the road, digging canals when floods came, building bridges to cross great rivers, and slaying gods when the gods sent down calamities!
Green history illuminating a loyal heart, bearing burdens and forging ahead.
The Nether Sea, the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate, and the King of the Underworld had just appeared when a scroll like green history unfolded. The blade light executed gods and executed hearts, evaporating vast expanses of the Nether Sea and smashing the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate to pieces.
The King of the Underworld let out a miserable scream and vanished without a trace together with the remaining Nether Sea.
At this moment, the small boat raced forward, charging through the camp of the Northern Heaven Nether Capital army and appearing behind the camp. At the bow, the five each gripped their sword hilts, looking around—only to see the last wisp of the Nether Sea disappear.
"Turn around! It's behind!"
Qin Mu lifted his foot and stamped down heavily. The entire swift boat slid sideways across the surface of the Heavenly River. They had passed through the camp of the Northern Heaven Nether Capital, and now the Nether Capital gods and demons in the camp were turning around one after another, while the Nether Sea had already arrived behind the Nether Capital army's formation.
That dilapidated Nether Capital Heavenly Gate rose up once more from the Nether Sea. This time, the King of the Underworld's reincarnation took the form of a woman in a great red robe, hair loose and flowing, her figure floating before the Nether Capital Heavenly Gate. She cried out sharply: "Qin Mu, Tian Shu, Zhe Huali, Luo Wushuang, Dao Liuzhao—receive my bow!"
The female King of the Underworld bowed deeply. The Butcher and the others were about to activate the Blade Dao Divine Ability again when Qin Mu's expression suddenly changed drastically. He spread his cloak to shield the four of them, clasped his hands together, pushed them forward, and also bowed deeply!
"Yin Chaojin, you also receive my bow!"
Boom—
Behind him materialized a Heaven-Earth Mystic Gate, connecting heaven and earth—reaching up to the Heavenly Dao Mystic Capital above, and down to the Nether Capital below. This was the second level of his Dao-Entry Divine Ability!
The moment Qin Mu bowed, the twenty-sixth level of Divine Ability Entering the Dao, "One Qi Primordial Chaos Traveling Together," was also bowed out simultaneously!
The two of them, separated by tens of thousands of gods and demons of the Northern Heaven Nether Capital, bowed to each other.
With the King of the Underworld's bow, before her, on the towering ships and within the magnificent and sinister great formations, one god or demon after another suddenly had their primordial spirit split into four or five pieces, their souls disintegrating, transforming into the black sand of souls.
Rolling black sand sprayed from their eyes, ears, noses, and mouths. There were also souls at the lower abdomen position that, after being shattered by the bow, sprayed out from below. Nine orifices spewed smoke—utterly terrifying!
And with Qin Mu's pushing bow, the Nether Capital gods and demons before him also could not withstand his bow—their primordial spirits disintegrated, their souls exploded!
What the King of the Underworld used was the Nether Capital Divine Ability, and Qin Mu's bow was also the Nether Capital Divine Ability. The two were evenly matched in mastery!
Not only that, but Qin Mu's bow also contained "One Qi Primordial Chaos Traveling Together." Wherever he bowed, space turned to powder, and the bodies of those gods and demons he had bowed to death exploded directly, transforming into wisps of chaotic qi!
Boom!
The two divine abilities collided. The swift boat beneath Qin Mu's feet could not withstand his pressure and exploded with a bang. The blood qi above his head surged forth, turning into a sea of blood.
The sea of blood seemed to be boiling, bubbling and steaming with hot air. The hot air carried rolling black smoke—that was the demonic qi of the Nether Capital.
And on the opposite side, the King of the Underworld, facing him across the formation, trembled violently. Blood sprayed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and the blood immediately transformed into wisps of chaotic qi. The Nether Capital Heavenly Gate behind him also cracked and creaked, covered in fissures, with wisps of chaotic qi drifting away!
She cried out sharply: "Qin Mu, receive another bow from me!"
Qin Mu roared: "Yin Chaojin, you also receive another bow from me!"
The two roared like thunder and bowed once more. Another earth-shaking boom sounded. The King of the Underworld's delicate body trembled violently as she retreated step after step, vomiting blood from her mouth. Her eyes were bloodshot, and even her eyes seemed about to be bowed into chaotic qi. She cried out miserably: "Qin Mu, receive another bow from me!"
