An ancient legend.
The world was divided into three realms. The first was the Celestial Court, the second was the human world, and the third was the underworld.
In the underworld, there were the Ten Kings of Hell, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the Black and White Impermanence, and the terrifying 18 levels of hell.
Ye Xuan did not know if the legend was true, but he knew that he had never seen the Ten Kings of Hell, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face, let alone the 18 levels of hell.
At this moment, what appeared before Ye Xuan's eyes was an extremely dilapidated black palace. The mottled walls were engraved with traces of the passage of time, and two malevolent ghosts were carved on the blood-colored copper door, giving off a sinister and terrifying feeling.
A dark golden plaque hung above the door beam, and three words were written on it — King of Hell's Hall!
"Great Immortal, it is said that the Book of Life and Death is in the King of Hell's Hall. But if you want to enter, you have to break the seal." The Dark Crow reminded.
Ye Xuan did not answer. Instead, he strolled to the front of the King of Hell's Hall. When he opened and closed his eyes, a blood-red light flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and slammed it on the door of the palace.
Bang!
The heaven and earth shook, and blood spurted out. An extremely terrifying scene appeared.
Roar!
It shook the heaven and earth, and the roar shattered the mountains and rivers. The two evil spirits carved on the door came to life at this moment. A monstrous ghost fog rose around them, and they violently pounced on Ye Xuan.
"Slash!"
Ye Xuan's face was expressionless. A pair of sword fingers pierced through the sky, and a hundred feet long blood sword appeared. With an unparalleled power, it directly chopped down on the two evil spirits.
At the same time, the Dark Crow, who was originally following behind Ye Xuan, suddenly laughed wildly. Under Ye Xuan's cold gaze, it turned into a soul shadow and instantly entered the King of Hell's Hall.
"Haha."
"Junior, thank you for blocking these two evil spirits for me. When I get the Book of Life and Death, I will definitely turn you into an evil spirit servant to repay you."
Roar!
When the Dark Crow broke into the Yama Palace, the two evil spirits let out ferocious roars. The ghostly fog around them grew thicker, and they pounced on Ye Xuan without fear of death.
"Soul Extinguishing Finger!"
A speck of blood-red light appeared on Ye Xuan's fingertip. As if it could pierce through the void of time, it instantly turned the two evil spirits into black smoke. It also caused the world to suddenly quiet down.
A cruel sneer appeared on Ye Xuan's lips. He strolled into the Yama Palace unhurriedly, as though the Dark Crow's actions had not angered him at all.
From start to finish, Ye Xuan didn't trust the Dark Crow at all. He already knew that the Dark Crow was only using him to enter the Yama Temple.
However, none of this mattered. To Ye Xuan, the Dark Crow's life was already in his hands. The Dark Crow was still too inexperienced to scheme against him.
After passing through the dark passageway, a ray of light rose in front of him. When Ye Xuan walked out of the passageway, he saw a majestic and luxurious palace.
The ninety-nine black jade stairs gave off a mysterious glow. At the end of the stairs, a black wooden table appeared. The Dark Crow was holding a black jade book and laughing maniacally.
"Haha, it's been three thousand years, a full three thousand years. I didn't expect the Book of Life and Death to return to my hands again." The Dark Crow roared excitedly. The dark light around him continued to surge, causing the entire Yama Palace to shake violently as if it would collapse at any time.
Suddenly.
The Dark Crow stopped laughing and turned to look at Ye Xuan. The Yin Qi around him changed strangely and he actually turned into a human.
He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, fair skin, and a head of black hair. The Dark Crow was wearing a flood dragon robe and a skull crown. His face was dignified. He held the Book of Life and Death and looked down at Ye Xuan who was below the black jade stairs. There was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Should I call you the Dark Crow or Yama?" Ye Xuan said calmly with his hands behind his back.
"Junior, although I don't know how you entered the Yama Hell, I can spare your life today since you helped me retrieve the Book of Life and Death. However, from now on, you are my servant and you will do as I command," the Dark Crow said majestically.
"Ha!"
Ye Xuan laughed. He really laughed, but it was a contemptuous laugh. The Dark Crow narrowed his eyes and his face gradually darkened.
"Junior, what are you laughing at?" the Dark Crow said coldly.
Tap — tap — tap.
Like the beating of war drums and the wailing of thousands of blood spirits, Ye Xuan's body bloomed with a Tongtian blood-red light as he strolled toward the Dark Crow.
There were ninety-nine steps of the black jade stairs. With each step Ye Xuan took, thousands of blood shadows roared around Ye Xuan. The thick bloody evil aura filled the entire Yama Palace and made Ye Xuan look terrifying.
Looking at this scene, the Dark Crow's expression changed greatly. He unconsciously retreated and quickly activated the Book of Life and Death. A turbid light beam shrouded him and blocked the terrifying power that Ye Xuan released.
Dong!
Ye Xuan finally walked in front of the Dark Crow. When he opened and closed his eyes, he looked at the Dark Crow with an indifferent and emotionless expression, as if he was looking at an ant.
"Tribulation … tribulation stage?"
"How … how is this possible?"
The Dark Crow's eyes followed closely and his voice trembled slightly. He finally discovered a terrifying fact. The power that the young man in front of him displayed already had a trace of immortal spirit. This was a sign that he was about to become an immortal.
"No … impossible … there is no spiritual energy in the world … how did you reach the Tribulation Passing Stage?" The Dark Crow roared in horror. If it wasn't for the Book of Life and Death, he would have fled in panic.
"I will give you two choices. You can either submit to me or perish." Ye Xuan said casually with his hands behind his back.
"Haha!"
Looking at Ye Xuan's fearless appearance, the Dark Crow woke up from his shock and laughed coldly. "Junior, have you heard that if the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?"
"If not for the Book of Life and Death, I would not be your opponent. But now that I have the Book of Life and Death, killing you is as easy as crushing an ant."
"Oh?"
"You can try." Ye Xuan smiled faintly. There was an indescribable strangeness in his eyes.
"You are courting death."
The Dark Crow roared. The Book of Life and Death left his hand and turned into a stone book that was hundreds of feet tall. It emitted endless dark light and pressed down on Ye Xuan.
"Junior, the Book of Life and Death is a spiritual object formed by the laws of heaven and earth. Even if you are at the tribulation stage, you will definitely die under the Book of Life and Death." The Dark Crow laughed maniacally, but before he could finish laughing, what happened next caused him to be completely dumbfounded. His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Boom!
Standing upright, the blood light of the Tongtian stood. In the endless void, the souls of the dead were crying and the evil spirits were howling miserably. Streaks of blood light burst out from Ye Xuan's body. When he punched out, the fist radiance of the Tongtian's fist surged out violently and directly blew away the Book of Life and Death.
