Chapter 13: Nine Hells
It is said that after death, every soul enters the Nine Hells and washes away memories of their previous life in the Yellow River water.
Then, they can reincarnate.
Here, the sky is gray.
The surrounding air was visibly turbid.
Lu Changsheng looked around and saw a yellow river in front of him.
Above the river was a bridge.
At this moment, countless white ghosts were crossing the bridge…
Beyond the bridge was a huge door frame with two large characters printed on it: Hades!
“Who dares to trespass in my Nine Hells!”
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky, spreading throughout the entire space!
Lu Changsheng looked at the figures in midair; a dead aura emanated from them.
“Who are you?”
One of the figures asked, “Why have you come to Hades?”
On normal days, no living beings come to Hades; those who arrive are the ones who have died in this world.
However, any living creature that can enter the Nine Hells was exceptionally strong.
Lu Changsheng said loudly, “It’s nothing serious; I just want to borrow the water of the Yellow River.”
Immediately, the figure’s expression changed, and he shouted sharply, “The water of the Yellow River is one of the treasures of my Nine Hells. How could I lend it to you?”
Lu Changsheng was somewhat helpless.
It seems a fight is inevitable.
Only by showing strength can one have a say.
Lu Changsheng waved the wooden sword in his hand, his face solemn, and a sword intent spontaneously emerged from his body.
Seeing this, the faces of the figures became serious, their bodies tensed, ready to meet Lu Changsheng’s thunderous strike at any moment!
Lu Changsheng said solemnly, “Alright, you all come at me one by one.”
The group of figures initially intended to rush over together.
To strike first and gain the upper hand.
But upon hearing these words, they stopped abruptly and stared at Lu Changsheng in astonishment.
“You don’t intend to fight together, do you?”
Lu Changsheng said indignantly, “You are the stewards of the Nine Hells, and you engage in group fights?
This is truly dishonorable!”
The figures looked at each other, their faces darkening further.
“You came to steal our treasure.
And you want us to fight honorably??
Are you taking us for fools?”
“Enough talking, let’s capture him alive and imprison him in Jiuyou Purgatory to suffer the burning of the earth fire!”
With that, the figures charged at Lu Changsheng!
Each wielding a treasured weapon, emanating a deathly aura!
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s expression hardened, he raised his wooden sword, and slashed forward!
Immediately!
The void shattered, and the space of the Nine Hells cracked like glass!
The entire Nine Hells erupted with a loud noise!
The previously calm Yellow River began to boil!
The figures’ faces changed dramatically!
“The Way!”
“The way of the sword, how can anyone in this world realize the Way!”
“Hurry, sacrifice the treasure with blood!”
With that, the figures hammered their chests, spraying essence and blood!
The blood fell on a simple and heavy door.
On the front of the door was a fierce ghost’s head, grinning with sharp teeth!
“Rashomon!”
As soon as the words fell, the door expanded, turning into a gigantic gate!
It fell!
Blocking the terrifying sword energy!
Boom!
The sword that shattered the void struck Rashomon!
The aftermath of the collision seemed to sweep the entire Nine Hells!
The bridge over the Yellow River began to crack!
Even the ancient door frame was affected and collapsed!
However.
In just an instant, Rashomon let out a groan of being overwhelmed!
Cracks like rifts began to spread wildly!
The figures spat blood.
Rashomon was connected to them.
Now, with Rashomon severely damaged, they could no longer fight!
The sword energy dissipated, Rashomon shrank with countless cracks, and was put away by a figure.
“Who are you, really?”
The figures were revealed.
Six elderly men, wearing gray cloaks, holding scepters.
On top of the scepters were ball-like objects, glowing green.
“What, so you can take revenge on me later?
Now, will you lend it or not?”
Lu Changsheng frowned, clearly out of patience.
The six elders smiled wryly, “It’s not that we don’t want to lend it, but we don’t have the authority.
The six of us are emissaries of the underworld. The Yellow River water has a spirit; it can only be taken with its approval.”
Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow, “Then take me there.”
The six looked at each other, sighed, and agreed.
“Come with us.”
If he struck a few more times, it wasn’t about whether they could withstand it.
The Nine Hells would collapse.
Then, reincarnation in this world would be in chaos!
They arrived at a side hall.
In the side hall stood a slightly illusory figure.
The emissaries bowed to the figure and then left.
The figure turned; it was a young and feminine man.
The man said, “I know your purpose. No one in the Nine Hells is your match.
You can borrow the Yellow River water, but I have a condition.”
Lu Changsheng said, “Let’s hear it.”
Seeing this, the man said, “Find a Pluto to guard this Nine Hells in the future.
Our former Pluto practiced rebirth and reincarnation, and now I don’t know where he is,
If the Nine Hells is without a Pluto for a long time, it will be in chaos!”
Lu Changsheng thought for a while and agreed.
Worst case, he could throw Qiubai here to be the so-called Pluto.
Seeing Lu Changsheng agree, the man waved his hand. Immediately, the Yellow River water floated up, converging!
Forming a yellow bead, it fell in front of Lu Changsheng.
Having obtained this, Lu Changsheng nodded to the man and left.
The man watched Lu Changsheng’s back, puzzled, “This world’s heavenly way has collapsed, the path to ascension is closed, how could anyone realize the Way?
Could he have come from outside?”
But after thinking about it, he shook his head; how could outsiders be interested in this place…
…
And Lu Changsheng, after leaving the side hall, directly tore open the space with a sword and flew towards the outside world.
However, as Lu Changsheng left, a phantom spirit from the other side of the Yellow River followed him…
