Chapter 13 The Prison King Reveals Secrets
The Time and Space of the Great Emperor Wushi
The Great Emperor Wushi still had his back to the common people, his gaze fixed on the dilapidated scene of the underworld in the sky, his heart filled with doubt.
How could the underworld have fallen into such a state of ruin in the future? After he attained enlightenment, he had been entangled with the underworld for many years and knew better than anyone how difficult this forbidden zone was.
It is completely different from other forbidden zones of life. Not only are there many supreme beings, but they are also extremely cunning. They possess heaven-reaching spiritual treasures and use secret methods to conceal their tracks, making them virtually impossible to find under normal circumstances.
They have no moral principles whatsoever; once the battle turns against them, they will decisively flee and never engage in a protracted and entangled struggle.
How could such a deeply rooted behemoth be reduced to a state where only one supreme being remains by Chuan Ying alone?
Moreover, is that figure in the sky really the Underworld Emperor?
The images on the celestial screen continued to shift.
The Prison King slowly rose and clashed with Ye Fan in a direct attack.
But he was already exhausted and at his limit, his former supreme divine power completely gone. With a single move, he was blasted away by Ye Fan, crashing heavily into the stone pillar of the Prison Suppression Hall, vomiting a mouthful of black blood.
After regaining his footing, the Prison King slowly spoke, his voice hoarse and forlorn: "I am not the Underworld King, but the Prison King of the Underworld."
Ye Fan's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Years ago, the Underworld Emperor joined forces with others to launch a surprise attack at the most crucial moment when the Emperor and his sect were ascending to immortality. Could it be that he was killed at that time?"
"No, the Underworld Emperor had already passed away long before that battle." The Prison Suppressor Emperor shook his head, his tone calm and undisturbed.
"It was I who wielded his imperial artifact and participated in that war against the heavens on his behalf. The Underworld Emperor has long since passed away; I was merely holding his artifact and carrying on his will."
He paused, looked up at Ye Fan, and added, "That Heaven-Reaching Netherworld Treasure, which you call the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Treasure, flew away on its own tens of thousands of years ago. Except for the rebirth of the Netherworld Emperor himself, no one can summon it back from the Underworld."
"Yama had already perished in the internal strife of the underworld and returned to the void; the Celestial Venerable of Longevity entered the Immortal Tomb and has never stepped out since; there was also one person who felt uneasy when the Heavenly Treasure flew away and went into seclusion in the Primordial Ancient Mine."
The King of Hell slowly revealed the truth about the Underworld, his tone filled with sorrow, "Now, in the Underworld, only I remain, and I am still a master of the Imperial Path."
These words caused a tremor throughout countless times and spaces.
This is a supreme secret involving the mythical era and forbidden zones, yet it is being revealed to the entire universe so openly and frankly for the first time.
The Emperor's Time and Space.
Upon hearing what the Prison Emperor said, Chuan Ying's gaze instantly sharpened as he stared intently at the Eternal Heavenly Venerable.
The Emperor slowly turned to look at him; the information contained in those words was astonishing.
"Chang Sheng, you've kept your abilities hidden!"
The Celestial Venerable of Longevity felt several divine thoughts sweeping over him without restraint, and he was no longer indifferent.
"This old Taoist truly knows nothing! Your Majesty, shouldn't you be more concerned with the battle described in the heavenly canopy? The Prison Suppressor Emperor is likely already harboring rebellious intentions!"
"laugh--"
Chuan Ying let out a cold laugh, showing no mercy.
"Eternal Celestial Venerable, how long are you going to keep up this act? If you hadn't participated in that battle, would the Prison Suppressor Emperor have mentioned you? In my opinion, you might actually be one of the planners of that battle!"
The Emperor's voice suddenly turned cold: "What else do you have to say?"
The Celestial Venerable of Longevity felt extremely wronged. At this moment, he had not even harbored any rebellious intentions. In later generations, an unpredictable upheaval must have occurred!
"This old Taoist priest knows nothing! If Your Majesty does not believe me, there is nothing I can do!"
Seeing his expression, the Emperor did not pursue the matter further, but simply said, "Wait, Changsheng. Sooner or later, the truth will come out."
In the forbidden zones of other dimensions, there was an uproar, with the supreme beings exchanging telepathic messages.
"So, it wasn't the Underworld Emperor who attacked in that battle back then! Fellow Daoist Changsheng, aren't you going to explain?"
The Celestial Venerable of Immortality in the Immortal Tomb looked grim, never expecting that the dying Prison Suppressor Emperor would reveal everything.
"That's just how things were back then, and I have nothing to say in my defense."
"I never expected that the Celestial Venerables of the mythological era would still be alive today!" one of the Supreme Beings exclaimed.
The carefree Celestial Venerable also scanned the Immortal Tomb with his divine sense, and unexpectedly found that he still had an old friend in this world!
If the forbidden zone was already so noisy, the entire cultivation world was in an uproar.
"The Celestial Venerable of Immortality is still alive!"
"That was one of the nine Celestial Venerables of the mythical era, a true beacon of cultivation!"
"The Celestial Venerable... has also cut off his own path and entered the forbidden zone?"
Deep within the ancient sacred land, a Great Perfection Saint Body, his hair standing on end in fury, roared to the heavens:
"You old scoundrel, the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, you're actually hiding in the Immortal Tomb!"
The roar shook the entire Big Dipper constellation, echoing for a long time, but received no response.
Beneath the heavens, all beings held their breath and watched intently as the Prison King slowly turned around and led Ye Fan toward the deepest part of the Underworld, a forbidden land shrouded in endless silence and eerie light.
"Here lies the burial place of all living beings in the universe, and not just for one era. This is the essence of the underworld, the closed loop of reincarnation."
The voice of the Prison King was deep and resonant, carrying the weight of countless ages: "At the end of reincarnation, all things return to silence, everything will come to an end, and the underworld is the final destination of all spirits..."
These words were like a thunderclap, once again stirring up a tremendous wave across countless times and spaces.
"What? The underworld really buried beings from several eras?"
"Is the underworld truly our final destination?"
"These rats hiding underground have really unearthed quite a few shocking secrets!"
Many supreme beings were discussing it.
Lingbao Tianzun's roar in his own time and space was particularly piercing, filled with resentment.
"Dig! All you do is dig! Damn underworld, wreaking havoc on the world! And that old devil, the Underworld Emperor, if I ever find him, I'll grind him to dust!"
In the time and space where Lingbao Tianzun resided, he was tormented by the Underworld Emperor.
The calamity of corpses caused by the Hades Emperor swept across the entire universe, leaving corpses strewn everywhere and causing immense suffering to all living beings.
As the supreme master of array formations, he painstakingly forged four immortal swords and spent his entire life eliminating corpses and calamities, barely managing to quell the mess left behind by the Underworld Emperor.
Previously, he had heard that another immortal corpse had been unearthed in the underworld, causing quite a stir, and he was about to set off to quell this calamity.
Within the celestial canopy, the Prison King, already on his last legs, once again revealed a shocking secret, his voice hoarse and filled with madness:
"Back then, the Emperor... hehe... haha... actually wanted to sacrifice us alive! In the end, he still failed to become an immortal!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's time and space fell into a deathly silence.
All eyes turned to the Emperor.
The Celestial Venerable of Immortality immediately seized the opportunity and spoke calmly, "Emperor, don't you intend to say a few words?"
The way the carefree Celestial Venerable and the Silent Celestial Venerable looked at the Emperor Venerable had changed.
If that's true, then it's not surprising at all that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality took the initiative to participate in that battle back then.
Chuan Ying opened his mouth, but ultimately remained speechless; the truth was simply too overwhelming.
But he had no choice but to believe the words of a supreme being on his deathbed!
The Emperor's heart sank, finally understanding the frustration that the Celestial Venerable of Immortality had felt earlier.
When did he ever plot to sacrifice the supreme beings? The variables of the future are so great!
"Let's continue watching the sky."
Seeing this, the carefree Celestial Venerable took the initiative to speak up and break the deadlock, but the atmosphere in the room remained tense.
