Chapter 277: The Mystical Power of the Underworld
Shen Yuan naturally had no idea of the turmoil that the return of the Tongyou Divine Power would cause in the underworld.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in the shock of this first Disha Divine Power.
In fact, in Shen Yuan's previous opinion, there was a qualitative difference between the Tiangang Disha Divine Power, which can be seen from the gap between many Disha Divine Powers and the last Tiangang Disha Divine Power, the Nail Head Seven Arrows Divine Power.
Strictly speaking, the incense and fire divine way controlled by the exorcist divine power is far inferior to the Nail Head Seven Arrows Divine Power in essence.
The real powerful foundation of the exorcist divine power is actually the countless years of layout of the overlord of the world, the Heavenly Court.
The Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court and the Four Imperial Emperors conquered the worlds and killed countless innate gods to strip them of their authority, which made the incense and fire divine way the mainstream of the worlds.
Relying on the incense and fire divine way that spread throughout the worlds, the Heavenly Court successfully supported the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Court and several emperors of the divine way who were powerful in the eight wildernesses and six directions.
Once the Heavenly Court's imperial order was issued, all the worlds obeyed.
Without the countless years of planning by the Heavenly Court, the Divine Exorcist Power could only control the gods such as the City God and the Gods of the Lower Realm at most, and it could not reach the current level at all.
The ranking of the 72 Disha Divine Powers was determined countless years ago, and would not change because of the changes in the strength of the avenue represented by the divine power. In Shen Yuan's eyes, the Divine Exorcist Power may have surpassed the Divine Power of Passing the Netherworld.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Yuan has always been skeptical of the Disha Divine Power, which is known as the first Disha Divine Power.
Especially after personally nailing the Wheel King to death with the Seven Arrows Divine Power, Shen Yuan became more aware that the essence of the Tiangang Divine Power is far beyond the Disha Divine Power.
However, when Shen Yuan really came into contact with the Disha Divine Power of Passing the Netherworld, Shen Yuan realized his shallowness.
What the Disha Divine Power represents is actually the Netherworld Avenue that points directly to the source of the underworld!
Exclusive possession of the origin of the Netherworld Avenue almost means that as long as Shen Yuan integrates the many ghosts and gods in the underworld and sorts out the order of the underworld, he will definitely be able to ascend to Daluo in the future and become the true Lord of the Netherworld and the Emperor of the Underworld.
At that time, Shen Yuan will replace the Taishan Mansion Lord who once ruled the underworld.
This is a supreme road with a bright future.
Compared with the Tongyou Divine Power, the Seven-arrow Divine Power seems to be inferior.
Because the curse-killing road represented by the Seven-arrow Divine Power is too narrow, although there is a chance to kill the Daluo Emperor, it is impossible to achieve the Daluo Emperor by this way.
And the curse-killing road is too heavily tainted with cause and effect, and the masters of the Seven-arrow Divine Power of the previous Divine Powers have difficulty reaching the peak.
The Tongyou Divine Power truly ignores the gap between the Tiangang Disha and has reached the level of truly competing with the Tiangang Divine Power.
Even the Nine-breath Subduing Great Divine Power mastered by Shen Yuan is difficult to compare with the Tongyou Divine Power in terms of potential.
After all, all living beings in all realms will die, and all living beings will enter the netherworld.
On the contrary, the way of refining qi has declined and is no longer as prosperous as in ancient times.
The difference between the Tongyou supernatural power and the Tiangang supernatural power may be the only characteristic of the world.
"The first supernatural power of Disha is indeed well-deserved!"
Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
He did do a lot of things in this Fengdu City, but these things are nothing compared to the gain of Tongyou supernatural power.
With stars flowing in his eyes, Shen Yuan sorted out the trigger points of this hidden achievement called the Lord of the Netherworld, and tried to deduce the operating logic of the artificial intelligence system.
"If it were normal, I would have killed a Yama and six Yinshuai in a tricky way to quell the rebellion in the underworld. Although the deeds were enough to shock the Xuanhuang world, they were far from reaching the level of obtaining Tongyou supernatural power."
Shen Yuan muttered to himself in his heart.
He knew very well that the ability to communicate with the netherworld could almost symbolize the entire underworld. It was too important. Even if the time was pushed back to ten thousand years ago, his actions were far from achieving the hidden achievement.
In this case, the achievement introduction of "killing the ten great underworld generals and the ten Yama Kings, destroying the treasures of the underworld, and establishing a netherworld and attracting millions of ghosts and gods to worship" was actually very exaggerated.
Six of the ten great underworld generals were killed by Shen Yuan, and the other four were under his command. The words of killing were true.
But Shen Yuan, the Yama King of the Ten Yama Kings, only killed one Wheel King. Among the remaining Yamas, except for the fallen Emperor Song, the other Yamas only lost part of their souls.
When Chujiang King and Yama King descended, they were resisted by the two underworld generals, and their souls were damaged and returned to the underworld.
Qin Guang King had part of his soul killed by Shen Yuan, and the souls of the City King, the Equal King, and the Biancheng King were all fed to the Karma Mirror.
Even the Five Senses King, the traitor, only secretly lost some of his soul light.
The Ten Yama Kings did suffer losses, but it was far from the extent of killing all the Yama Kings.
What Shen Yuan really did was to expel these Yama Kings from the Xuanhuang Realm, so that they could not come again.
Ten thousand years ago, the Ten Yama Kings could have come without any scruples, but now they are unable to come due to the influence of the Jue Tiandi Tong, which can be regarded as suppressing the Yama Kings back to the underworld to a certain extent.
As for the word "kill", it was completely the influence of the unfortunate Wheel King being killed by Shen Yuan, and combined with it, it became "killing the Ten Yama Kings".
Destroying the treasure of the underworld and attracting hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods to worship is true, but it is not enough to obtain the first magical power of the Earth Demon.
"The real key point is actually in the underworld!"
A faint light flashed in Shen Yuan's eyes.
The artificial intelligence system's judgment of tasks is based on the standards of ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, before the connection between heaven and earth was cut off, all deaths in the world were governed by the underworld, and there was no underworld.
But as the connection between heaven and earth was cut off in the Xuanhuang world, the Great Yin Emperor and the Taishan Lord reached an agreement to divide part of the underworld into the underworld, allowing the creatures of the Xuanhuang world to reincarnate.
The emergence of the underworld was the work of the Great Yin Emperor and the Taishan Lord, but because Shen Yuan had the status of the Emperor of Fengdu, he unified the entire underworld after expelling the Ten Kings of Hell, which made the artificial intelligence system recognize Shen Yuan's identity as the Lord of the Underworld.
In the judgment of the artificial intelligence, the underworld should not exist, so it is natural to think that Shen Yuan is the founder of this underworld, so there is the condition of the hidden achievement of "separating a part of the underworld and establishing the underworld".
This makes Shen Yuan's hidden achievement evaluation infinitely high.
You know, if you had established your own underworld ten thousand years ago, you would have to face the two Shinto emperors, Dongyue Emperor and Taishan Lord, as well as the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Yama Palaces, and hundreds of millions of ghosts and gods in all realms.
Even behind these underworld gods, there is the Hou Tu Emperor who is comparable to the Four Emperors.
This treatment is not inferior to Shen Yuan's dethronement of Ji Du Dragon Lord.
The only difference is that one provoked the Heavenly Court and the other provoked the underworld.
Under the difference brought by the ten thousand years of time judgment, Shen Yuan obtained this first magical power of the Earthly Evil.
Even Shen Yuan had a vague guess in his heart.
"The last god who held the power of the netherworld might be the fallen Lord of Mount Tai.
The death of Lord Mount Tai left the power of the netherworld without a master, and the influence of the hidden achievement led to the power of the netherworld falling into my hands. If Lord Mount Tai had not died, I would not have been able to obtain the power even if I had completed the hidden achievement."
Such a thought flashed through his mind, but Shen Yuan did not choose to delve into it, but began to focus on the perception of the netherworld power in front of him.
The seed of the netherworld power is a faint light, and it has already fallen into Shen Yuan's eyebrows the moment it appeared.
As the seed of the power transformed by the first magic power of the earth returned to its place, Shen Yuan could clearly sense that everything in front of him began to change.
Before obtaining the power of the netherworld, Shen Yuan controlled the status of the Emperor of Fengdu completely by relying on the incense and fire god origin of the magic power of driving gods, and used the incense and fire god to control the status of the Lord of the underworld.
This can indeed control the position of the Emperor of Fengdu, but without the assistance of the underworld-related avenues, the consumption of the incense and fire gods is extremely large.
Moreover, without the assistance of the underworld avenues, Shen Yuan's realm is too low, and he can't control these underworld powers at all, so Shen Yuan appointed the six gods of Luofeng as subordinate gods to assist in controlling the underworld.
With the return of the supernatural power of the underworld, Shen Yuan can easily control all the powers of the underworld, no longer limited by the influence of realm and the consumption of the incense and fire gods.
And in terms of controlling the status of the Emperor of Fengdu, the effect of the incense and fire gods as the main and the underworld avenue as the auxiliary is far better than the incense and fire gods alone. Controlling the status of the Emperor of Fengdu no longer requires a large amount of incense and fire gods.
Before, when Shen Yuan used the great supernatural power of nailing seven arrows, he could only temporarily manifest the true body of the Emperor of Fengdu, but now as long as he is in the city of Fengdu, Shen Yuan can always maintain the state of the true body of the Emperor of Fengdu.
If Yin Shuai and Yan Luo appeared in front of Shen Yuan at this time, they would not only face the suppression of the incense and fire gods, but also the suppression of the origin of the netherworld.
Before, Yan Luo could still cut off his own cultivation of the gods and retain his cultivation of the ghosts to fight against the enemy, but now with the double suppression and the restrictions on the realm of the Xuanhuang Realm's heaven and earth rules, Yin Shuai and Yan Luo did not even have the opportunity to attack Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan only needed a thought to easily knock him down.
In addition, the point that Shen Yuan valued the most about the Tongyou magic power was that the Tongyou magic power could feed back to the status of the Fengdu Emperor and repair the incomplete status of the Fengdu Emperor.
You must know that the underworld and Fengdu City cannot bear a Shinto emperor, even with the Fengdu Emperor Seal and the exorcist magic power.
The incomplete status caused the Shinto emperor to have a defect in his status. If he left Fengdu City, he could not rely on the power of the Shinto emperor, and could only be transformed into a refining Qi practitioner in the early stage of the transformation of the spirit.
However, the Tongyou Divine Power can continue to feed back to the status of the Emperor of Fengdu, allowing Shen Yuan to get rid of the influence of his incomplete status to a certain extent, and he can borrow some of the power of the Emperor of the Shinto even outside the city of Fengdu.
As the underworld expands, Shen Yuan's Tongyou Divine Power will continue to improve, which will make the status of the Emperor of Fengdu more complete, and he will have the opportunity to transform into a true Emperor of the Shinto and the Lord of the Netherworld in the future.
"Perhaps, this is the real purpose of my leaving the Fengdu Emperor Seal ten thousand years ago?"
Shen Yuan couldn't help but whisper to himself.
After roughly feeling the changes brought about by the Tongyou Divine Power, Shen Yuan's mind was also much more stable.
The Tongyou Divine Power does not have any offensive means against enemies outside the ghost way, but it is a comprehensive blessing for Shen Yuan, which makes Shen Yuan very satisfied.
Although he still has many doubts about the Tongyou Divine Power in his heart, Shen Yuan knows that now is not the best time to comprehend the Tongyou Divine Power.
Retracting his energy, Shen Yuan's eyes fell again outside the Emperor's Chariot.
Most of the ghosts in Fengdu City were unable to realize that the power of the netherworld had returned to its original position. Those who had not reached the fairyland were not even qualified to contact the netherworld.
Only the four ghost commanders who had already entered the fairyland, Niutou, Hei Wuchang, Bai Wuchang, and Baowei, could sense the changes.
Hei Bai Wuchang and Baowei were still able to remain calm, only Niutou showed an undisguised ecstasy, half-knelt on the ground and spoke loudly to Shen Yuan in the imperial chariot:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for taking back your own power!"
Shen Yuan, who was sitting on the throne of Mount Tai, looked slightly startled, a little surprised by Niu Tou's attitude.
The sinister handsome man who first took refuge in him seemed to know far more than he imagined.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Shen Yuan's mind, and he recalled what Niu Tou said when he first saw Niu Tou in Beiman Mountain.
"Niutou, meet the emperor!"
At that time, Shen Yuan only thought that the bull head was the same as a ferocious beast, and mistakenly thought that he was the Emperor of Donghua, so he spoke like this.
But now that I think about it, although both the Great Emperor and the Emperor can be called the Heavenly Divine Emperor, calling Emperor Donghua the Great Emperor is obviously an offense to Emperor Donghua.
A handsome guy shouldn't make such a stupid mistake.
Shen Yuan's eyes gradually revealed a look of surprise as he looked at Niu Tou, and whispered to himself:
"So, what Niu Tou called him from the beginning was not Emperor Donghua, but Emperor Fengdu!"
"I must have interacted with Niutou ten thousand years ago."
Speaking of this, Shen Yuan's eyes showed a strange look.
"Even after ten thousand years, Niu Tou and Wu Guan Wang are willing to take refuge in me. What on earth did I do ten thousand years ago?"
There was some curiosity in his heart, but in order to prevent the past from becoming established history, Shen Yuan did not ask Niu Tou, but just said softly: "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Niutou stood up respectfully.
Shen Yuan nodded and continued:
"I will not stay in Fengdu City forever. From now on, all matters involving the Yin Division will be decided jointly by Luo Feng Liutian."
The gods of Luo Feng and the Six Heavens said in unison: "I will obey your Majesty's decree."
Shen Yuan's eyes fell on Zhuque and Baihu. Although they had been conferred the title of God of the Six Heavens by Luo Feng, they were still envoys of the Great Xia court after all, and their positions were different from the other four Yin commanders.
However, Shen Yuan never cared about it. He named them the Gods of the Six Heavens of Luo Feng just to repay the cause and effect. If they were loyal to Fengdu, they would naturally be able to sit firmly on the throne of gods. If they jumped left and right and stripped of the gods, it would be just a thought.
Shen Yuan said to Bai Hu and Suzaku:
"The affairs of the Yin Division have settled down. Fengdu City has no intention of interfering with the affairs of the Yang World. The two of you will be responsible for communicating with the Yang World."
Bai Hu and Suzaku, who were originally worried, looked happy.
Although obtaining Luo Feng's Six Heavenly Godship was a step forward for them, they still had a certain affection for the Great Xia court. Now that they had received the promise from Emperor Fengdu that it was enough to stabilize the situation of the Great Xia court, they were naturally overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
With two random words, the yin and yang order was settled from now on, and there was no wave on Shen Yuan's face.
For him who now fully controls the underworld, these things can only be regarded as trivial matters.
His energy has been put on the truly important goals.
Slowly rising from the throne of Mount Tai, the entire space of Fengdu City turned into invisible stairs in front of Shen Yuan.
Taking one step forward, Shen Yuan appeared directly in front of the black and yellow exquisite tower that penetrated the sky and the earth.
Reaching out to push open the dusty door, Shen Yuan walked into the pagoda, and the kaleidoscope-like layered space continued to unfold before Shen Yuan's eyes.
When the space stabilized, Shen Yuan appeared in front of a huge platform.
Above the platform, a giant beast with only skin and bones was crawling here. It seemed that it would die at any time with its weak vitality. But even so, the aura around the giant beast is still as vast as the abyss, far beyond the Yin commanders of Yama who are suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth.
Its ferocious eyes were staring at Shen Yuan who had stepped into this place, shining with a ferocious light.
Shen Yuan put his hands behind his back and didn't care about the ferocious beast in front of him. He just said calmly:
"Ten thousand years have passed, and I am here as promised!"
