Ghost Realm, Netherworld.
Swoosh!
A beautiful figure flew past, leaving only a remnant mark on the ground that was enshrouded in death aura. Behind her was a group of ferocious ghost dragon leaders and ghost soldiers who were running like wolves on the ground. An unbearable conch horn sounded. It was the Soul Destroying Conch, a unique artifact in the Ghost Domain. The sound of the Soul Destroying Conch could directly attack the soul of a spirit body, making it impossible for ghosts to hide.
"Ahh …"
After all, Qin Yin was still a spirit body. The sound of the Soul-Destroying Conch was almost unbearable to her. Her mind was in chaos, and a murderous intent kept surging.
"Damn it …"
She suddenly stopped and forcibly urged the divine power in her body. She opened her palm gently, and suddenly, a bright dragon crystal soared into the sky. With a "bang", it struck down a ghost dragon leader that was closest to her from the sky. However, the ghost soldiers on the ground immediately roared and surrounded her. One by one, they leaped high and pounced on Qin Yin's body.
Just as Qin Yin's figure was about to be engulfed in a sea of blood, a golden light suddenly blossomed. It was the illusory figure of a huge golden dragon. It roared incessantly and spun rapidly, crushing all the ghost soldiers into dust. This was the fourth technique of the Dragon Slayer Incantation — Golden Dragon Flames!
The spiritual form of the Heaven-suppressing Sword condensed in Qin Yin's hand. She suddenly swept it several times, and the sword aura shook between heaven and earth. A group of ghost soldiers were chopped into pieces, wailing and retreating. They watched from a distance of about ten meters away from Qin Yin. They bared their teeth and roared, but none of them dared to come forward.
"Huff … Huff …"
There was not much divine power left in Qin Yin's body. She breathed in the surrounding deathly aura. Although she was a God-tier expert, she was still a ghost at the moment. She needed this deathly aura to replenish the divine power she had lost. As she breathed, the twin peaks under her dress rose and fell slowly. The group of ghost dragon leaders were dumbfounded.
But at this moment, a vast power silently descended, causing Qin Yin to be unable to move. It was as if a pair of iron hands were tightly gripping onto her body. At the same time, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and streams of dark energy descended, blotting out the sun. Someone had come.
Qin Yin slowly raised her head as she urged her divine power to resist the opponent's domain. She looked at the voice that was floating in the air. It was a general from the Ghost Region who was wearing a dignified armor. Although he was unarmed, the dark divine power around him was swirling rapidly, and his face was filled with a rough smile.
"Who are you?" Qin Yin asked.
"Who am I?"
The man laughed and said, "No one has ever asked me who I am in my territory. Qin Yin, you are the first! But since you've asked, there's no harm in me telling you. I'm one of the Ghost Realm's Sovereigns, the Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions. I'm in charge of the cycle of life and death in the three realms. There are nearly a hundred Abyssal Sovereigns, a million Chiefs, and tens of millions of Ghost Soldiers under my command. Do you know who I am now? "
Qin Yin was stunned. "What … what do you want?"
"What do I want?"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' laughter became even louder. It was as if he was going to break through the Nine Heavens, and the space around him was even slightly distorted by his laughter. He stared intently at Qin Yin and said, "You trampled through the Naraka Bridge, beat up Meng Po, killed a few of my leaders, and broke the rules of the Ghost Region's underworld. How dare you ask me what I want?"
"…" Qin Yin fell silent.
"Qin Yin, oh Qin Yin, you are a god with an overgod personality. How could you be reduced to such a miserable state where your soul is scattered and you have to escape into the Six Paths of Reincarnation? I, who also have an overgod personality, feel ashamed for you. What on earth caused you to fall to such a state?"
"Mind your own business." After a short rest, Qin Yin took out another dazzling Celestial Dragon Crystal.
"This is my domain!" The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions roared. "How dare you speak to me like this in my domain? Are you tired of living? Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't tell me? "
As he spoke, the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions suddenly closed his eyes. The black eye on his forehead opened, and it immediately sent chills down everyone's spine. This eye's gaze was like a sharp sword that pierced through the depths of everyone's heart. Qin Yin was no exception. She stood in the air in a daze, unable to move.
The Eyes of the Past was one of the Ghost Emperor's unique skills. It could see through the past of ghosts. However, this unique skill was not very useful. It was just a small trick that he came up with when he was bored.
In an instant, as if everything had been seen through, countless thoughts flew through Qin Yin's mind. Scenes of the past appeared once again. In the images, she saw her father, Qin Jin, Lin Muyu, Tang Xiaoxi, Qin Lei, Feng Jixing, and the others. She also saw the scene of her own death. For a moment, Qin Yin's heart was filled with pain. She couldn't help but curl up and scream in pain.
After a full five minutes, the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions closed his third eye. When he opened his eyes, the contempt in his eyes became even more intense. He said, "Qin Yin, is it worth it for you to do this?"
Qin Yin endured the pain and looked up at the ruler of the Ghost Domain. She said, "It's worth it."
"Good!"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions suddenly raised his left hand. Suddenly, a towering bloody palm condensed in the air. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions laughed and said, "Qin Yin, I'm going to send you to the Eighteen Levels of Hell. Are you afraid?"
Qin Yin didn't say anything, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness and anger. She wanted to see Lin Muyu again, but it seemed that she didn't have such a chance anymore.
"Qin Yin!"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions roared. The bloody palm descended from the sky and landed on the Celestial Dragon Crystal that Qin Yin had taken out. At the same time, he shouted, "You're the Empress of the Shattered Cauldron Realm, but you were killed by your subjects. Is it worth it?"
"Bang!"
The Celestial Dragon Crystal trembled. A golden light wrapped around Qin Yin's body. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' palm made her fall rapidly. She suddenly smashed through the ground and fell into a fiery hell. The first level was the Hell of Tongue Removal. Countless ghosts with their tongues pulled out wailed in the magma.
"It's worth it!" Qin Yin groaned in pain, but her eyes were still resolute as she gave the answer to the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions.
Her body continued to fall until she hit the ground of the first level of hell with a bang. She smashed a huge pit like a falling meteorite. She continued to fall under the pressure of the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' divine power. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' expression became more and more ferocious. He roared, "You care about the people of the world. You don't want to see the Qin Empire in flames of war. But you're criticized for being heartless. Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
Her body smashed through the thick ground and reached the second level of hell — the Hell of Scissors! A group of ghosts with their fingers cut off were howling in pain. They rushed toward Qin Yin with all their might, but the light around Qin Yin turned them into dust. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' power was endless. His face was filled with arrogance and anger. He continued to ask, "You're the Empress, but you're controlled by your treacherous subjects. You can't make your own decisions. Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
Qin Yin's palm was burned red, but she still answered stubbornly.
With a muffled sound, the two's divine power collided and blasted the bottom of the second level of hell. They rushed to the third level of hell — the Hell of Iron Trees. The barren ground was filled with iron trees. The trees were full of iron thorns that pierced through the backs of the ghosts. The wailing ghosts hung on the trees like wind chimes. It was a tragic sight.
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' expression was ferocious. He continued to ask, "Tang Lan deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. You gave him a chance to die for the country to preserve the Tang family's reputation, but he was criticized by others. Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
Qin Yin's body started to burn. The raging flames of death were devouring her legs and arms.
With a muffled sound, she fell into the fourth level of hell — the Hell of Mirror Retribution! Countless ghosts were stripped of their bodies, and they wailed under the blazing sun. It was unbearable to look at. They bent their naked bodies and crawled toward Qin Yin. However, they were intimidated by the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' might and stopped several dozen meters away. Waves of qi kept surging in the surroundings. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions' divine wave surged endlessly in his palm. He continued to ask angrily, "You did everything you could to get rid of Tang Lan and Tang Lu. You unified the world, but in the end, you lost the world. Is it worth it?"
"As long as I'm worthy of my father, it's worth it!" Qin Yin's ash-covered face was filled with determination.
"Hmph!"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions continued to exert force. He brought Qin Yin with him and broke through the fifth level of hell — the Hell of Steamers! Heat surged in all directions. Countless ghosts were being cooked in the steamers, and they screamed miserably.
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions clenched his teeth and asked, "In order to not let Tang Xiaoxi down, you destroyed your soul and separated from your lover forever. Is it worth it?"
"It's worth it!"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions was furious. This was the most stubborn ghost he had ever seen. It was also the most stubborn ghost. If he didn't subdue this ghost today, he wouldn't be able to continue being the Ghost Emperor of Five Directions!
Thus, they descended layer by layer. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions interrogated her again and again. However, the answer he got was exactly the same. Qin Yin wouldn't repent for what she had done.
In the blink of an eye, they broke through the sixteenth level of hell. The next level was the last one — the Hell of Sawing Blades! Countless ghosts were tied to wooden stakes, and the evil ghosts used blades and saws to cut open their bodies. Their screams lingered in the air. The surroundings were scorching hot. Qin Yin felt like her body was about to evaporate. The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions roared angrily and asked the eighteenth question, "If I give you a chance to return to the Shattered Cauldron Realm, are you willing to be the empress again and rule over the world?"
Qin Yin's body trembled. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I … I'm not willing."
"Why?!"
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions was taken aback. This was the first time Qin Yin had given him a negative answer.
Qin Yin's body and soul could no longer withstand so many collisions. Her body slowly dissipated into starlight. Before she died, she murmured, "I love him … I don't want to rule over the world. I just want to stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
The Ghost Emperors of Five Directions: "…"
…
Boom!
Amidst the deafening sound, the eighteenth level of hell was broken through, but Qin Yin's body also dissipated, turning into countless stars that filled the pitch-black space.
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions stood there in a daze. He had killed Qin Yin with his own hands, but he didn't feel any sense of accomplishment at all.
An Abyssal Prefect followed behind him and asked respectfully, "Your Majesty, should we use the Soul-Destroying Conch to completely destroy Qin Yin's soul?"
"No."
The Ghost Emperor of Five Directions gently opened his palm. Rays of blue light extended out like ribbons and absorbed the spirit light that Qin Yin had turned into. He said calmly, "I asked the eighteen questions, and Qin Yin answered them all without any hesitation. She has already been tested by the Purgatory Realm and the Ghost Realm. Forget it … We should not offend the future Master God of Light if we can. After we reconstruct Qin Yin's spirit body, send her into the Well of Reincarnation!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
However, at this moment, an extremely sinister voice came from behind him. "Yo, since when did Your Majesty Ghost Emperor of Five Directions become so benevolent?"
"You … Ghost Emperor of East Unicorn?"
