I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 208 The Way of the Scoundrel is Invincible!

"Lord Fengdu, this is the response from the Asura King."

"The Asura King said he is waiting for you in the Asura clan. If you can defeat him, he is willing to lead the Asura clan to surrender to the underworld."

Lai Yang nodded slightly; he had already guessed this outcome.

He certainly couldn't win over the Asura clan by just making a few harsh words and promising them a rosy picture.

For warlike races, you must crush them with absolute strength and make them submit willingly.

Although the Underworld is now severely weakened, with the addition of Lai Yang and the Witch Clan, its overall strength is actually greater than before.

If Lai Yang can still subdue the Asura race to serve the Underworld, then even the Buddhist sect will not dare to offend them easily.

Like the Netherworld Demon Ancestor, the Asura King is a veteran Immortal Emperor who survived from ancient times. He reigns supreme in terms of combat power within his territory, and no one can truly defeat him.

The progenitor of the Asura clan was an extremely powerful figure who did something truly remarkable—

Defying the will of Heaven!

Of course, it failed. The ancestor of the Asura race was wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, and his descendants' bloodline became sinful blood.

It is because of this incident that the Asura race has become what it is today, cursed by blood and burdened by karma.

Once the Asura race experiences significant emotional fluctuations, their internal power is extremely prone to going out of control, causing them to become indiscriminate in their dealings with friend and foe, and only knowing how to kill.

The Asura race can only unleash the full power of their bloodline by practicing the Asura Technique, but the Asura Technique is an extremely bloodthirsty technique. When rage meets rage, they fall into a state of complete frenzy in battle.

This is also a major reason why other races are wary and afraid of the Asura race, believing that the Asura race is bloodthirsty and ruthless.

Knowing they could not escape the curse from the Supreme Heavenly Dao, the Asura King took a different approach and modified the Asura Technique.

Instead of trying to suppress the curse in his bloodline, he amplified the berserk state brought about by the curse to enhance his own power.

Once the Asura Clan unleashes their full power in the Asura Technique, each and every one of them will transform into the most terrifying killing machines on the battlefield.

“In that case, I will personally go to the Asura Clan. You go to work.” Lai Yang put down his work and said to the ghost messenger in front of him.

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the ghost messenger quickly left.

Lai Yang sent a telepathic message to Chu Xiao, and Chu Xiao soon arrived at Lai Yang's location.

"Master, did you need to see me?"

"It's nothing much, but I'm going to visit the Asura Clan next. Please be extra vigilant in the Underworld, and be careful that no one takes advantage of the situation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, why don't I go with you? The Ghost Emperor and Yama are handling matters in the Underworld, so I don't think there will be any problems."

"No need, I'm fine on my own."

Lai Yang stepped forward and gently patted Chu Xiao's shoulder, then turned and disappeared from his sight.

Lai Yang left the underworld and headed to the Asura Realm, which could almost be described as a desolate wasteland.

As it turns out, even the most desolate places can give rise to powerful creatures.

The Asura progenitor did not fail in his campaign against the heavens; his mistake was that he was a loser.

If he succeeds, the entire Asura race will become the most revered and noble race in the Immortal Realm, and no one will be able to shake the Asura race's position.

Before long, Lai Yang followed the scent and found the palace of the Thousand-Headed Asura King—the Asura Temple.

At the same time, the Thousand-Headed Asura King, sitting on his throne, had already sensed Lai Yang's presence. He slowly opened his eyes, his body faintly radiating a dangerous aura and intense fighting spirit.

A moment later, several powerful members of the Asura Clan flew in and crashed at the feet of the Thousand-Headed Asura King, groaning and howling, completely incapacitated.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness, like a god of war.

"Who is this great being?"

"Lai Yang, the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the Underworld."

"You are the current Emperor of Fengdu in the Underworld? Heh, you're just a kid who hasn't even reached the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, yet you dare to presume to subdue my Asura clan."

The Thousand-Headed Asura King didn't even glance at Lai Yang, his tone filled with contempt and disdain.

"You said that as long as I defeat you, you will lead the Asura race to surrender to the Underworld, right?"

Lai Yang ignored the Thousand-Headed Asura King's mockery and spoke calmly.

"You say you have a way to resolve the karmic burden on my clan, is that true?"

"Of course it's true."

Upon hearing Lai Yang's admission, the Thousand-Headed Asura King slowly adjusted his posture, looked down at the tiny human before him, and a terrifying killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, let's make a deal."

"If I lose this duel, I will lead the Asura Clan to surrender to the Underworld and from then on follow your lead."

"If you lose, I may mercifully spare your life, but you must resolve the karmic burden on my clan."

"Let us swear an oath to the Great Dao and make a bet. Do you dare?"

The Thousand-Headed Asura King stared coldly at Lai Yang and said in a deep voice.

The oath of the Great Way is one that no one can disobey.

"as you wish."

Lai Yang agreed without hesitation.

The two swore an oath to the Great Road at the same time.

Afterwards, Lai Yang was pulled into an independent dimensional space by the Thousand-Headed Asura King, and no one knew the specific details of that battle.

When the two disappeared from the Immortal Realm, they reappeared in the Asura Temple.

The Thousand-Headed Asura King looked quite miserable, his body covered with countless sword wounds, and even his arms and head had been cut off in many places.

Lai Yang used his authentic authority to absorb and neutralize the Heavenly Dao's curse on the Asura clan.

Although the power of the Earthly Path is not as strong as that of the Heavenly Path, it is more than enough to resolve the curse left by the Heavenly Path in the bloodline of the Asura race.

Thus, the Thousand-Headed Asura King pledged allegiance, but Lai Yang did not allow him to announce it to the Immortal Realm, but instead waited for the right opportunity.

The Asura clan became a spy for Lai Yang.

Under the planning and arrangement of Lai Yang and the Four Ghost Emperors, conflicts frequently broke out between the Underworld and the Asura Clan, creating a tense relationship.

The Buddhist sect did not want to see the underworld grow too powerful, and was naturally delighted to see the underworld fighting with the Asura race.

Little did they know that by the time they realized it was all a scam, it was already too late.

The forces of the Underworld, the Chu family, the Witch Clan, and the Asura Clan have come together.

Unbeknownst to them, they had become a colossal figure in the immortal realm, no less powerful than the once-flourishing Buddhist sect.

After his battle with the Thousand-Headed Asura King, Lai Yang's understanding of his own Great Dao became clearer and deeper, and his strength grew stronger day by day.

Cultivation knows no time; a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Purple qi rose from the back mountain of the Chu family, and Mo Ruyan finally succeeded in stepping into the Immortal Emperor realm, becoming another Immortal Emperor of the human race.

After becoming an Immortal Emperor, Mo Ruyan naturally chose to join the Underworld where Lai Yang was located.

Years later, Chu Xiao traveled to the Netherworld Demon Realm, where he trained and searched for the final fragment of the God-Slaying Spear.

During this time, Chu Xiao encountered the Netherworld Demon Ancestor, who was nearing the end of his life due to severe injuries inflicted by Lai Yang. The Netherworld Demon Ancestor saw Chu Xiao's potential and fortune and attempted to possess him, but he did not expect that Chu Xiao possessed the God-Slaying Spear and was instead completely killed.

His life essence, cultivation, and lifelong insights shaped Chu Xiao, enabling him to break through three realms and lay a solid foundation for reaching the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm.

Chu Xiao broke through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Emperor realm. In order to rescue Chu Xiao's mother and his lover, Chu Zhantian led Chu Xiao into the Forbidden City.

Upon learning of this, Lai Yang resolutely went to support the two, and he alone overwhelmed the three Immortal Emperors of the Purple Gold Holy Land, making them unable to raise their heads.

The three forced the first-class holy land of the Immortal Realm to submit and release the imprisoned Mother Chu.

From then on, Chu Xiao's family was reunited in peace.

It was because of this that Lai Yang's strength was so terrifying that it once again aroused the fear of both the Buddhist sect and the demon race.

However, Lai Yang has now fully matured, and even if the Buddha of the Western Paradise were to personally intervene, he would not be confident of gaining an advantage over him. This forces them to treat him with caution. The two Buddhist emperors are also still recovering from their injuries and cannot take action.

After all, once they make a move, the one sleeping in the underworld will inevitably make a move as well, and the situation will likely become uncontrollable.

Seeing that the time was right, Lai Yang immediately chose to return to the Immortal Inquiry Continent and used his supernatural powers to move the entire Immortal Inquiry Sect to the Immortal Realm, placing them under the protection of the Underworld.

"gentlemen!"

After many years, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan appeared very happy to see each other again.

Before moving the Wenxian Sect to the Immortal Realm, Lai Yang confessed everything to Mo Ruyan and obtained her consent.

However, seeing the three of them so close together, Mo Ruyan couldn't help but feel jealous and secretly pinched Lai Yang's soft flesh.

It seems that only in this way can one vent the resentment in one's heart.

Although Lai Yang felt no pain at all, he pretended to be in pain and wince in order to appease Mo Ruyan.

Mo Ruyan's anger subsided considerably after being amused, and then the three sisters left Lai Yang behind and chatted happily to the side.

Lai Yang also felt somewhat helpless, so he let the three of them chat and went to cultivate.

Under Mo Ruyan's guidance, the Li sisters quickly broke through to the True Immortal Realm.

One day, the commotion caused by the twelve Ancestral Witches breaking through to the Immortal Emperor realm was so great that even the magical artifacts used by the Underworld to conceal their auras could not suppress them immediately.

In an instant, the aura of the twelve Ancestral Witches' breakthrough enraged the Heavenly Dao, and the terrifying lightning tribulation resembled the apocalypse, as if it would shatter everything.

They realized that someone from the Witch Clan had actually broken through to the Emperor Realm.

The Buddhist and demonic factions sensed something was wrong; they could no longer wait.

If they wait any longer, once the Witch Clan rises to power, their good days will be over.

Soon, the Buddhist sect, the demon race, the Asura race, and other forces and powerful individuals who had grudges against the witch race prepared to launch a full-scale siege against the witch race. This time, they were determined to wipe out the witch race as soon as possible.

They thought their actions were very discreet, but little did they know that there was already a mole within their ranks.

The Wu tribe received prior notice and immediately relocated to Fengdu.

When the Buddhist experts arrived at the Witch Clan, they didn't see a soul, let alone a person.

Seeing that there wasn't even a trace of the Witch Clan, they could easily understand that they had been tricked by the Witch Clan, and the faces of all the powerful figures showed anger.

"Where are the Wu tribe members? They've all disappeared!"

"There is the aura of a teleportation array here, so someone must have secretly moved the Wu Clan away."

Where could they go?

"The underworld! The witch clan must have gone to the underworld!"

"The Wu Clan has given birth to a primordial spirit, and now someone has even broken through to the Emperor Realm. If the Wu Clan continues to grow, there will be no place for us in the Immortal Realm. We will have to make the Underworld give us an explanation and hand over the Wu Clan."

“What you say, fellow Daoist, is very good, and it is just as it should be.”

"Let's go to the underworld."

The crowd marched in a grand procession to the underworld, ready to demand an explanation.

Little did they know that after receiving the news, Lai Yang and his men were already actively preparing for battle.

Sensing the presence of numerous powerful figures within the underworld, they understood that a battle was inevitable.

However, this time, there were no Buddhist spies in the underworld to cooperate with them from the inside. Lai Yang immediately used his authority over the underground passage to activate the underworld's defensive array.

He then led the powerful figures from the underworld into a fierce battle with the others.

The battle between the two sides shattered countless planes in the immortal realm, and the fighting grew increasingly fierce.

Upon learning of the war between the Underworld and Buddhism, the Chu family and its allies and allied forces rushed to their aid.

Unbeknownst to them, it escalated into a fierce battle between dozens of Immortal Emperors.

Lai Yang was under the most pressure, as he alone endured attacks from seven or eight veteran Emperor Realm experts.

He remained completely calm and composed, demonstrating remarkable composure and giving everyone a great deal of confidence.

At the critical moment, the Asura clan betrayed them, directly activating a self-controlled berserk mode and frantically slaughtering the enemies around them.

The Buddhist monks were caught off guard, and countless people showed fear on their faces, groaning and crying out in pain.

Suddenly, the world changed, and the will of Heaven descended.

Under the will of Heaven, the two Buddhist emperors had no choice but to take action, and their actions were of earth-shattering power.

The powerful beings of the underworld were as insignificant as ants before them.

Just then, the solid earth trembled violently, as if the will of the underground was stimulated and revived.

A towering Dharma image emerged from the earth, effortlessly shattering the attacks of the two Buddhist emperors.

The appearance of that Dharma form was extremely familiar to the people of the underworld; it was none other than the Supreme Being of the Underworld—Wu Tu!
The Earth Goddess condensed her primordial spirit, forcibly breaking the chains of the Heavenly Dao's will on her body. The power of the Earth Dao was completely released, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao's will, and was in no way inferior.

The terrifying subterranean fire could even instantly incinerate a Celestial Emperor, turning him to ashes and leaving no trace of his body.

The Witch Goddess controlled the complete fire of the earth to attack the two Buddhist emperors, burning them alive.

Not long after, they were resurrected in the Heavenly Dao, but their strength had dropped somewhat.

The two Buddhist emperors, terrified by the witch doctor's methods, immediately turned and fled back to the Western Buddhist realm without hesitation.

They were Heavenly Immortal Emperors, but they were still far too insignificant compared to the Earthly Supremes who had fully attained the Dao.

In the end, the anti-witch alliance was utterly annihilated by the underworld and left in disgrace.

They knew that from this moment on, the underworld was no longer an entity they could provoke.

The Witch Clan will also truly rise to prominence in the near future, becoming one of the strongest clans in the Immortal Realm.

Once everything was settled smoothly, Lai Yang relieved himself of his burdens and delegated all the affairs of the underworld to other ghost emperors or Yama.

He wanted to be a carefree Emperor of Fengdu, accompanying his Daoist partner, enjoying a shameless and carefree life, and occasionally traveling to the beautiful scenery of the heavens.

Ten thousand years later, Mo Ruyan, Li Xiaowen, and Li Xiaonuan gave birth to several children for him.

Lai Yang transcended physical limitations, returned the authority of the Earthly Dao, and regained his complete true spirit. From then on, his cultivation, physical body, and spirit were perfectly unified, allowing him to roam freely between heaven and earth, and embark on the path to immortality with those around him.
