From ancient times to the present, after ghost monks break through to the underworld level, they need to absorb enough underworld energy and wash away their original ghost energy before they can truly become the underworld level.
However, Shi Chishang created the Soul Dao, which can be compatible with ghost energy and underworld energy. He does not need to specifically absorb the underworld energy like other underworld strong men. So at this moment, he just broke through and crossed several thresholds in one breath. He reached the sky in one step and half a He stepped into the rank of Underworld Master.
Although the Seven Realms and Liuhe have different names for each level, the overall cultivation level is the same, with a total of nine levels.
In the past, the twelfth level of the mortal world was combined into one level, and the eight levels above, the system of ghost and underworld, named them in turn: Ming Shi, Ming Master, Pluto King, Pluto Lord, Pluto Emperor, Ming Lord, and Pluto Emperor. , Ming Zu.
Because of the fault relationship, the first level of the twelve ordinary mortal levels is generally not counted. Instead, the underworld is called the first level. By analogy, the highest underworld ancestor is the eighth level.
The eighth-level underworld ancestors, together with the eighth-level ones in the fairy world and the demon world, are collectively called the numerology realm. Of course, that's information that needs to be explained later.
The strongest people in the ghost world today are the four peak underworld emperors known as the Ghost Emperors of the Four Directions.
The King of the Realm, Ming Jiu Si, is in charge of the Xuan Ming River Basin in the middle of the Ghost Realm.
The ancestor of zombies, General, is in charge of the Jiuyou River Basin in the eastern part of the ghost world.
The Lord of Ghost Beasts, Crow Ancestor, is in charge of the Huangquan River Basin in the west of the Ghost Realm.
This is the peak of the three Ming Emperors rumored to be on the surface, and the identity of the person in charge of the Wangchuan River Basin in the southern part of the ghost world is still a mystery. No one knows his true identity, but Ming Jiusi, Jiang Chen, and Crow Ancestor have all said, There is indeed a peak Emperor of the Underworld in the Forgotten River Basin.
As for the final northern Santu River Basin, there has not yet been a peak Hades Emperor. There are only two powerful men in the late stage of the Hades Emperor who each rule a dynasty and are competing for the identity of the highest leader of the Santu River Basin.
The founder of the Hanwu Dynasty, which had been hunted and killed for a long time, was one of the two late underworld emperors.
This is a side issue, and the moment Shi Chi Shang stabilized his realm, a pair of wings composed of sword-shaped metal feathers suddenly rose behind him. They seemed to be heavy due to metalization, but in fact Shi Chi Shang was just With a flutter of wings, the person disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, a murderous sword roar sounded from the darkness in the distance. During the excitement, there was another beast roar full of despair and mania, and then a turbulent underworld energy suddenly rose from the depths, and there was something shocking. A dark-level powerful man fell.
A few breaths later, Shi Chishang had already dragged a corpse as big as a mountain back from that direction. Just as he landed, he threw the corpse to the ground with a bang, making the ground tremble several times. .
"This is..." Niuling was stunned when he saw the corpse of the ghost beast and asked in confusion.
"Just when I was going through the tribulation, he wanted to attack me, but he didn't have time to take action." He replied with a smile. Shi Chishang turned his head and glanced around, and the sharp soul consciousness also rose up. After a few breaths, it was all over the place. The thoughts of observing around him receded.
The ghost beast that Shi Chishang killed was strong enough for the early stage of the underworld master, but it could not stop Shi Chishang's sword from the half-step underworld master. Such a ferocious person was not something that those ghosts could easily provoke.
"Cao Hong, aren't you going to break through?" Shi Chishang put away the corpse of the ghost beast and turned to look at Cao Hong.
The latter was stunned, and said with a smile: "No, it's still early for me to reach the peak of Palm Sea. I'll endure it for a while, and when I'm sure, I can break through to the Underworld level."
She has been accompanied by the underworld weapon Wei Wu Qinghong since she was a child, and she is extremely talented in swordsmanship. Even if she is not as good as Shi Chishang who has the soul path in her body, she is still more than enough to deal with a hell-level calamity.
Shi Chishang nodded when he heard this and said: "Since senior sister and I have broken through, let's go find Sanshan and the others first."
"Mr. Shi," Niu Ling suddenly said, "I just received a message from the master. He and Ma Hanxue have already gone to the east. He asked us to take the teleportation array directly to the Jiuyou River Basin. They will meet us in Zishan City. ."
"Did they go first?" Shi Chishang was stunned, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, "Then we should go back to the city to sit in the teleportation formation first?"
"Yes," Niuling saw this and turned around and walked towards Bieye City, and said at the same time, "There are teleportation restrictions between major river basins. Now we can only go to the border of Jiuyou River Basin first, and then teleport to Zishan City."
"Is it so troublesome?" Cao Hong pouted and said dissatisfied, "It doesn't mean we have to go through several troubles."
"No," Niu Ling smiled naively, "It only takes two times."
Shi Chishang nodded lightly and said calmly: "Let's go."
This time he came to the ghost world, actually one week earlier than the one-month deadline given by the Eastern Tu Royal Family.
One day ago, Shi Chishang and Yu Lewei were at home when Niu Ling, who transformed into a human, suddenly came to visit. He is Niu Sanshan's cousin and a close subordinate. He came here specifically to ask for help.
It turned out that after Emperor Zhanwu and the others returned to the ghost world, they returned to their respective clan lands. But unexpectedly, when Emperor Zangwudi and Zangwuchang returned, it happened to be the zombie clan's once-in-a-millennium clan leader candidate assessment competition.
The Clan Chief Candidate Assessment Competition is held once every thousand years. Anyone who has advanced to the top 500 candidates for Clan Chief Candidates within this thousand years can participate in this competition.
The big score is divided into two rounds, and the main competition is one's own cultivation and the strength of his subordinates.
Although Emperor Zangwudi and Zangwuchang only stayed in the human world for 3 years, because of the relationship between heaven and earth, the flow of time in the human world is slower than that in other worlds. 3 years in the human world is equal to 30 years in the ghost world.
A mere 30 years, for those giants, might be just a period of nap or seclusion, but for the younger generations like Zhan Wudi and others who are not at the Ming level, it is an extremely long time.
Although it is said that by absorbing the essence of Changping Cave Heaven, Zhan Wudi and Zang Wuchang have broken through the heavenly tribulations and reached the peak of the underworld after returning to their clan, but in the past 30 years, their men have either been plotted to death, or They were lured away, and only a few are still there.
So under normal circumstances, Zhan Wudi and Zang Wuchang would have no chance at all. But fortunately, the final assessment of the previous round allowed those who had not been able to advance to the top ten to challenge the clansmen who had reached the top ten.
Zhan Wudi and Zang Wuchang were originally among the top ten candidates for the clan leader, so relying on their hard power, they grabbed the ninth and tenth spots in the end.
However, strength alone can only go so far, because the final round of the competition will take into account the strength of the ten people themselves, their allies, and their subordinates. Although Zhan Wudi and Zang Wuchang are powerful, they cannot be the same person. Having defeated all the allies and subordinates of the other eight people, let alone being able to advance to the top ten, these eight candidates are also extremely powerful in their own right.
In desperation, Emperor Zangwudi and Zangwuchang could only contact Ma Hanxue and Niu Sanshan. The latter two were considered very capable, so I agreed decisively.
The assessment competition for the candidates for the clan leadership of the Horse Face Tribe and the Tauren Tribe had ended long before they came back. However, when they went to the human world, their rankings were not high, and no one was targeting them. With the help of their relatives, there were basically no problems with their men. .
It's just that Ma Hanxue and Niu Sanshan are not the opponents of Emperor Zhanwu. Even if they come to help, they can't deal with those stronger ones. So, they thought of Shi Chishang who was still in the human world, and Niu Sanshan also sent Niu Ling to the human world. I found Shi Chishang and asked for help.
After knowing what happened, Shi Chishang did not hesitate. He had already gathered with Chen Zuoheng, Liu Yuwei and other old friends in the human world before, and there was no need to say goodbye.
It happened that Cao Hong and Zhong Wudi were also at their home. After hearing this, Cao Hong naturally shouted to join in the fun. Thinking that Zhong Wudi and Cao Hong were both very capable, they could be a help if they went there, and Shi Chishang was not worried. He refused, took them with him and rushed to Fengdu Cave, and took the teleportation array to the ghost world.
Originally, they had made an appointment with Ma Hanxue. After arriving in the ghost world, they would first go to the Niutou tribe, meet up with Niu Sanshan and Ma Hanxue, and then go to the zombie tribe together. Unexpectedly, Niu Sanshan and the others went there first. At this moment I can only set out on my own.
Seeing that Shi Chishang and the others had just gone out for a circle and had broken through one after another when they came back, the guards of the teleportation array couldn't help but take a few more glances. However, this level was nothing in the ghost world, so they didn't pay much attention.
Although the ruler of the Xuanming River Valley is the Yama Mansion, the Niutou Clan, as one of the three most powerful clans of ghost beasts, and the Horse Face Clan are allies of the Yama Mansion, so when Niuling took out the token, they boarded the teleportation array smoothly. They didn't even pay the fee and teleported directly to the Jiuyou River Basin.
*——*——*
As the three most powerful clans of ghost beasts, the Tauren Clan and the Horse-faced Clan are not at the peak of the Hades Emperor, but the ancestors of the two clans are both in the late stage of the Hades Emperor. There are also four or five Hades Emperor strongmen in each clan, and their overall strength is actually better than that of the Yama Mansion. Just inferior.
The ancestors of the two tribes have fought side by side since the prehistoric times and are close friends. Therefore, the ancestral lands of the two tribes are not far apart, only more than 300 million miles apart.
When Shi Chishang and others took the teleportation array and rushed to the Jiuyou River Basin, a thought full of illusion had crossed a space of more than 300 million miles, appeared from east to west, and appeared in the deepest part of the ancestral land of the Tauren.
"Why are you here?"
When he sensed that thought, in the deepest part of the ancestral land of the Tauren, a bull head that was tens of thousands of meters high slowly raised its head.
This bull head is covered with dense black hair. Because the body is so huge, ordinary people will only think that it is a giant black weed growing in a huge mountain.
While he was speaking, two terrifying storms spurted out from his nostrils, shattering the crystal wall in the space in front of him.
"Can't you hold back some strength?" The thought was obviously aware of the broken space crystal wall, and his tone was helpless, "Do you really want to sink your ancestral land again?"
"I didn't mean to do it..." The Niutou looked innocent and raised his hand to scratch his head. However, when he raised his hand, he was a little too strong and directly set off a raging wind, slightly distorting the space on his left side. It was torn to pieces, and then spread all the way, cutting a gully tens of thousands of meters long.
The thought was silent for a moment, and then he sighed: "Forget it, stop moving blindly. Did you feel it just now?"
"What do you feel?" The bullhead looked confused.
"His breath..." Although the thought sounded calm, there was a hint of joy in it.
"What did you say?!"
Niutou's eyes suddenly widened. He was so excited that his chest heaved and trembled. The space within millions of miles around him exploded. Not even the most basic cracks in the void appeared. A void stretching for nearly eight million miles emerged.
Just being in this void, the tauren didn't show any panic at all. He allowed the wave after wave of void tides to hit his body, and the hair all over his body shook violently, but not even a hair was broken.
After a few breaths, the previous thought finally forcibly repaired the hole in the void, and then there was a roar that shook the ghost world, and the newly repaired space crystal wall collapsed again.
"Niufutu, are you a fool?"
