Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor-Chapter 303 - 302: The One Who Escaped Destiny

Chapter 303: Chapter 302: The One Who Escaped Destiny

“Do you see those people locked onto the wooden stakes over there?” Su Han pointed toward the distance.

Lian Yuze and the others all nodded.

In their line of sight, there were countless wooden stakes erected, with ghostly figures sealed upon them, being relentlessly whipped and emitting shrill screams.

“Like these people, they too had killed many in their lifetime. Although their souls remain, they must perpetually endure the agony of whipping,” Su Han said.

“Then if we were to die…”

Liuu Feng and Lian Yuze exchanged looks.

...

They had previously battled with the Blood Demon Sect and the Sect of True Martial Arts, and hundreds, if not thousands, had died at their hands.

“Yes, if you died and entered here, you would be punished just the same.”

“The rules of the Netherworld only consider how many people you killed and how many bad things you did in life. As for why you killed or did those bad deeds, they don’t care,” Su Han said.

“Isn’t that too unfair?”

Shangguan Mingxin couldn’t help but say, “Are we supposed to just let ourselves be slaughtered without fighting back when we’re alive?”

“The Netherworld is comparable to the Holy Domain, a world unto itself. The King of Darkness is the Supreme being of the Netherworld. In all the world, only the Holy Lord could command a trace of respect from him. The laws he sets are just like this; even if unfair, no one dares to say anything,” Su Han explained.

“Buzz~”

At that moment, two figures appeared on the Bridge of Helplessness.

These two figures, one black and one white, both had pointed hats atop their heads.

Their faces were pale as white paper, and out of their seven orifices flowed black blood, which seemed to cause them no trouble at all.

“Black and White Impermanence?!” Lian Yuze and the others exclaimed in shock.

“Hmm?”

It seemed they heard Lian Yuze and the others’ words; the two figures suddenly turned their heads, looking over in the direction of Su Han and his group.

“How audacious!”

Black Wuchang immediately shouted, “The Dark Path is a place of dead energy; how dare you living people come in as you please?”

“Shut up!”

Long Lie waved his hand, and the water of the Yellow Spring suddenly churned tumultuously.

Towering waves appeared, rising hundreds of meters tall, directly overtopping the Bridge of Helplessness and rolling towards Black and White Impermanence.

The complexions of Black and White Impermanence drastically changed, and they immediately dodged to a far place, eventually stopping beside Meng Po.

“Boom!”

The water of the Yellow Spring finally crashed down on the Bridge of Helplessness, creating a deafening roar. Strangely enough, the bridge, which seemed to be in disrepair, was wholly undamaged by such an impact.

“I need your permission to come to the Netherworld?”

Long Lie looked coldly at Black and White Impermanence. Although his presence lacked any pressure or aura of a strong being, the mere action he took a moment ago left them terrified.

“Being able to manipulate Yellow Spring Water means you are at least a strong being from the Holy Domain. If you enter the Netherworld, the King of Darkness must have already sensed it. I hope you will restrain your actions,” White Wuchang said gravely.

“Are you threatening me?”

Long Lie’s gaze suddenly turned icy, and he waved his hand again, causing the deadly Yellow Spring Water to overturn violently, forming several astonishing dragons that surged straight toward Black and White Impermanence.

“Senior, please!”

Black and White Impermanence, startled, hastily retreated while saying, “Yellow Spring Water is a condensation of dead energy; it must not fall elsewhere, or else it could cause a great disaster in the Mortal World!”

“Hmph!”

Long Lie snorted coldly and eventually allowed the water dragons to disperse into a spray, falling back into the Yellow Spring.

With his knowledge, how could he not be aware of this?

The reason I took action was simply to intimidate Black and White Impermanence.

“A living person has opened the Netherworld, violating the Law of the Netherworld, and you still haven’t taken action?”

Meng Po suddenly spoke, looking at Black and White Impermanence, her mouth revealing a terrifying smile.

When she spoke, her voice seemed to change, at times male, at times female, hauntingly eerie.

Black and White Impermanence didn’t respond to her mocking words; they seemed to be extremely fearful of Meng Po.

“Elders, what business brings you to the Netherworld this time?”

Black and White Impermanence walked back onto the Bridge of Helplessness. This time, they had lost their previous authority and became much more respectful.

Long Lie remained silent, but Su Han said, “We apologize for any previous offense, and seek your forgiveness. We are here to look for some people.”

“Whom are you looking for?” Black Wuchang asked.

“There are too many, if possible, please allow me to see the Book of Life and Death,” Su Han said.

“No way!”

Black Wuchang immediately stepped back and said sternly, “The Book of Life and Death is the supreme treasure of the Netherworld, and its foundation. I hope the elders will not make things difficult for us.”

“It’s only for reference, nothing else,” Su Han said.

“Even that is not allowed. If the King of Darkness finds out, he will surely not spare us,” Black Wuchang said.

Su Han couldn’t help but sigh, knowing that the Book of Life and Death was the supreme treasure of the King of Darkness and the foundation of his control over the Netherworld. Unless the Holy Lord himself came, no one else could consult it.

“Then look for someone for me—the Dragon Martial Continent, Dongling Kingdom, Yunyang County City, Yuanshan County, Su Yunming,” Su Han said.

“Wait a moment.”

Black Wuchang nodded. Finding someone was still within his authority, but giving out the Book of Life and Death for reference was absolutely not.

As his voice faded, Black Wuchang took out a book from his bosom.

The book was pure black, and each page inside was the same. Others could not see any names on it; only the King of Darkness and the Black and White Impermanence he commanded could see them.

“Whoosh!”

Black Wuchang was about to look it up but as he opened the Book of Life and Death, a shocking light burst forth from the book.

At the same time, White Wuchang also trembled, and a white book flew out from his chest.

After being shaken, White Wuchang spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

This white book was the record of life in the Book of Life and Death, and the black one was the record of death.

As the two books vibrated, the Yellow Spring Water actually started to boil as if witnessing an earth-shattering event.

The Bridge of Helplessness also shook thunderously, as if it was about to collapse.

All those holding red whips turned their heads to look at Su Han and the others, their eyes radiating a cold chill.

“Among you, has someone died but not passed through the Netherworld, then come back to life?”

Seeing the light burst from the Book of Life and Death, Black Wuchang’s face changed dramatically, unbelievably looking at Su Han and the others in the void.

Long Lie furrowed his brows.

However, Su Han was stunned for a moment, then after thoughtfully pausing, he said, “You’re right, I did die once but never came to the Netherworld.”

“What audacity!”

White Wuchang flew over. At this moment, he was not the least bit afraid of Long Lie and said sternly, “You escaped your destiny and caused a moment of chaos in the Netherworld, yet you dare to come here?”

At the same time, Black Wuchang slapped the Book of Life and Death, which immediately emitted a humming sound.

Under this hum, Black Wuchang’s voice thundered.

“We request an audience with the King of Darkness!”
