Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

The heavens and earth split open. The destructive power of the battle between the two Dao Ancestors was too great. They tore open space with their great magic power and entered the depths of the spatial turbulence. No one could see what was happening inside.

After an unknown amount of time, Houtu and Hongjun reappeared in the chaotic starry sky. They exchanged a cold glance before returning to Zixiao Palace and the Underworld, respectively.

The saints exchanged glances. Was this how it was going to end so hastily?

But thinking about it, that's normal.

In terms of cultivation, Hongjun is definitely far superior to Houtu, but unfortunately, Houtu is also a Dao Ancestor and can control the power of the Earthly Dao. Unless Hongjun completely lets go and uses more power of the Heavenly Dao, he can suppress her.

But would Hongjun dare?

As for Zhao Gongming, he was in the underworld, which was within the sphere of influence of the earth. Even the power of the heavenly way would be greatly suppressed there. Houtu wanted to protect Zhao Gongming, but no one could do anything about it.

Of course, if a sage of the Earthly Dao were to appear in the Earthly Immortal Realm, within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Dao like the Chaos Starry Sky, he would also be subject to great suppression.

This is the essence of the three constraints.

However, although Houtu and Hongjun stopped fighting, the matter was far from over.

Houtu appeared alone above the Six Paths of Reincarnation, raised her finger to the sky, and declared: "I, Houtu, have now become the Dao Ancestor of the Earthly Dao, solidified the Six Paths, opened the eighteen levels of Hell, and established the Underworld. May the Earthly Dao bear witness!"

After he finished speaking, a vast and mighty underground river suddenly appeared in the sky, and endless turbid rain poured down, irrigating the underworld.

"So that's how the Underworld was established, the Netherworld was formed."

Looking at the scene before him, Zhao Gongming seemed to be deep in thought.

It turns out that the previous underworld, without the existence of underground passages, was actually just an empty shell.

Although one can be reincarnated, one will not gain any merit or virtue.

But things are different now.

Only a true underworld with a long river of earth can be considered a true underworld. And the Earthly Venerable who possesses the fruit of the underworld will enjoy the immeasurable merit of balancing heaven and earth and reincarnating all living beings. Even without deliberate cultivation, they will naturally attain enlightenment under these merits!

It can be said that this is much better than toiling away under the sway of Heaven!

As for why Houtu established the boundaries of the land, it was actually a way to balance the earth and replenish the primordial wilderness.

The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man correspond to the celestial realm, the underworld, and the human realm, respectively.

The true Immortal Realm is the area of ​​influence of the Heavenly Dao. Even before the emergence of the Earthly Dao, the Underworld was considered part of the Immortal Realm.

Haotian's so-called ruler of the Three Realms is nothing but a gimmick.

At present, Houtu established the Underworld, which is controlled by the Earth Dao. This can be considered as completing one of the three realms of the Primordial World, which is naturally a great merit.

As for the human realm that follows, it will depend on the emergence of the human realm.

"Boom!"

As Zhao Gongming pondered, a deafening roar suddenly appeared, and the entire panorama of the underworld materialized in the primordial world!

It is extremely majestic and magnificent, with the six realms of reincarnation running through all the heavens and myriad worlds, like a continent floating in the air, its shadow covering the earth!

Sensing this vast aura, all the powerful beings looked over, their faces filled with awe!

If the Zixiao Palace represents the celestial realm, then the Underworld naturally represents it.

As you can see, beneath the underworld lie eighteen independent spaces, not arranged in upper and lower levels, but side by side. Each space exudes a chilling aura, as if it could directly pull away one's soul and drag it into endless darkness and abyss!

This is the infamous Eighteen Levels of Hell in the underworld!

The "levels" in these eighteen levels of hell do not refer to the vertical or horizontal space. This is not a joke, but a recommendation for the treasure book "Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mountain".

The difference lies in the timing and the criminal law, especially in the timing.

At the entrance to each level of hell stands a monument, engraved with ancient patterns and characters, to suppress the hellish area.

The first inscription reads: "Guang Jiuju, also known as the Tongue-Pulling Hell, is where those who, in life, sow discord, slander and harm others, are glib-tongued, use clever words to argue, or lie and deceive others will be sent to the Tongue-Pulling Hell after death."

The second inscription reads: "Juxu Cui Lue, which is the Scissors Hell."

The third level is marked with the inscription "Sangjudu," also known as the Iron Tree Hell. Those who sow discord among family members, instigate discord among fathers and sons, brothers, sisters, or husbands and wives during their lifetime will enter the Iron Tree Hell after death. The trees are covered with sharp blades that pierce the skin of those who come from behind, hanging them from the iron trees.

The fourth level, the Carved Tower, is the Hell of the Mirror of Retribution. If someone commits a crime in the mortal world, even if they don't confess the truth or manage to pull strings and bribe their way out, they may escape punishment (if they don't escape, all the better). There are also criminals who are on the run. After they die, they report to the underworld and are sent to the Hell of the Mirror of Retribution. Their crimes are revealed in this mirror, and then they are sent to different hells to suffer.

The fifth level, marked by the "House Soldier," is the Steaming Cage Hell. There are people who, in their daily lives, gossip, spread rumors, frame others, slander, and insult them. After death, these people are thrown into the Steaming Cage Hell and steamed. Not only that, after being steamed, a cold wind blows, reshaping their bodies, and they are then taken to the Tongue-Pulling Hell.

The eighth level is inscribed with "Bu Lu Ban Hu," which is the Ice Mountain Hell.

The ninth level is inscribed with: Wujingdu, which is the oil cauldron hell.

The tenth level is marked with the inscription "Niludu," which is the Ox Pit Hell.

The eleventh level, inscribed: Wulue, Stone Press Hell.

The twelfth level, marked with: Wuman, the Hell of the Mortar and Pestle.

The thirteenth level, inscribed: Wuji, Blood Pool Hell.

The fourteenth level, inscribed with: Alas, is the Hell of Unjust Death.

The fifteenth level, marked with the inscription: Xu Jianju, the Hell of Crucifixion.

The sixteenth level, inscribed: "Modu Ganzhi Hu, Volcano Hell."

The seventeenth level, inscribed: Qu Tongtu, Shimo Hell.

The eighteenth level, inscribed: Chen Mo, the Hell of Knives and Sawing.

Each level of hell is twenty times more painful than the previous one, and the true spirits within it live twice as long!

But that's not the most painful part.

The time scale of the Eighteen Hells is quite different from that of the Earthly Immortal Realm because it is separate from the Eighteen Hells.

Take the time it takes for the first prison to reside as an example.

It takes 3,750 years in the human world as one day, 30 days as one month, and 12 months as one year.

The sinful spirits that fall into this hell must serve their sentence here for 10,000 years before they can be reincarnated, which is 13.5 billion years in human time!

The second hell is divided into two days, each lasting 7,500 years in the human world. Sinful spirits must serve 20,000 years in this hell, which is equivalent to 54 billion years in the human world!

And so on.

The subsequent periods of hell were all increased twice over the previous periods.

At this point, we can see that many souls who have committed karmic offenses have been sent to hell, where they are suffering endless torment.

In the first layer of hellish light, the little devils pried open the true spirit's mouth, clamped the tongue with iron pincers, and pulled it out by force. Not all at once, but stretched and slowly dragged it out, pulling it a hundred feet away.

In the second level of hell, the Desolate Void, the little devils use scissors to cut off the true spirit's fingers one by one. After the fingers grow back, they are cut off again, and so on, in a horrific cycle.

In the third level of Sangjudu, the true spirit was suspended on an iron tree. The tree had sharp blades that pierced through the entire body, and the yin and evil energy raged.

Of course, the most famous of them all is the fourteenth level of hell!
