2048 Great Dao’s Vow, Yin Underworld Daoist, It’s Normal To Have Privilege
As the crimson Infernal Dragon Flame burned, the Underworld River Forefather was losing his Blood Divine Daoists.
Soon, the sea level started to lower rapidly, and more than half of the Blood Divine Daoists were killed.
The Underworld River Forefather used his Immortal Techniques and divine abilities to stop it, but nothing worked.
The attacks hurled at the Infernal Dragon Flame were all blocked and mitigated by Chu Kuangren. There was nothing the Underworld River Forefather could do.
Seeing that the number of Blood Divine Daoists was decreasing, he started to get anxious.
“Chu Kuangren, this is too much!” the Underworld River Forefather roared.
He swung Avici and Yuan Tu in a flurry, unleashing terrifying sword rays at Chu Kuangren.
The sword qi swept out like a torrential wave, and the sword intent filled the air.
The attack was so vicious that each slash felt like it could destroy the Great Dao.
However, Chu Kuangren was unfazed by the vicious attack. Without using any weapons, he raised his sword hand sign and shattered the incoming crimson sword rays.
Chu Kuangren and the Underworld River Forefather were not on the same level!
The scene shocked everyone.
Had Chu Kuangren broken through to the Primordial Realm?
Otherwise, why would he be more terrifying than one?
The Underworld River Forefather was blasted into pieces again.
This time, when he recovered, he dashed toward the blood ocean.
He knew he was no match for Chu Kuangren. If he continued to stay, he might very well die when all the Blood Divine Daoists were burned away.
Unfortunately, he could not escape Chu Kuangren, who raised his hand and summoned the Timespace Treasure. The spacetime energy instantly sealed the entire blood ocean.
The Underworld River Forefather, too, was sealed inside it and could not leave.
The blood ocean provided a strong sense of safety to the Underworld River Forefather before this, but now, it had become a cage to trap him.
As the blood ocean continued to burn, he was mortified.
“Chu Kuangren! Stop! I surrender!” the Underworld River Forefather shouted as he gulped nervously.
Chu Kuangren scoffed. “Surrender? You interfered with Wu Han, helped Luo Hou, and now you want to surrender? You even snatched the deal souls from the Underworld just because you want to create life like Nuwa. Do you remember all the souls here in the ocean? You? Surrender?”
His tone grew colder as he spoke.
Many years ago, as the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, Chu Kuangren maintained order.
However, the Underworld River Forefather’s actions had defiled the dead and crossed the line.
He could forgive others but not the Underworld River Forefather.
“Underworld…” When the Underworld River Forefather heard of the name, realization struck him. He said loudly, “Chu Kuangren, I have a piece of news about the Underworld that you might be interested in.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes gleamed. “Speak.”
“Promise to let me go.”
“You are in no position to negotiate with me.”
Chu Kuangren raised his hand to channel the Infernal Dragon Flame again. The blood ocean boiled even more, and the Blood Divine Daoists started screaming in agony again.
The Underworld River Forefather clenched his teeth and explained, “Chu Kuangren, this isn’t only about the Underworld. It’s also about the Equinox Flower. Are you sure you don’t want to know?”
It was safe to say that Chu Kuangren was intrigued.
A moment later, he said, “Fine. I can spare your life.”
“That won’t do it. I want you to make a Great Dao Vow!”
“Fine.”
Chu Kuangren scoffed.
The Great Dao Vow was an insurance that the Great Dao gave to the cultivators.
Once a Great Dao Vow that a cultivator made was broken, he or she would be punished by the Great Dao, even if he or she was a Primordial.
One could lose all the cultivation to the punishment or, worse, die instantly.
“I, Chu Kuangren, hereby make a Great Dao Vow. If Underworld River Forefather tells me about the Underworld’s changes, I can spare his life…”
The Underworld River Forefather breathed a sigh of relief, but the Infernal Dragon Flame continued to burn.
“Chu Kuangren, you made a vow! Why are you still burning the Blood Ocean?”
“You won’t die immediately anyway,” Chu Kuangren said nonchalantly.
The Underworld River Forefather was upset but helpless against it. Hence, he told Chu Kuangren about the upcoming changes to the Underworld.
“A while ago, Divine Underworld Daoist came to the blood ocean and said he would kill the Equinox Flower to regain control of the Underworld.”
Chu Kuangren’s eyes narrowed.
The Divine Underworld Daoist was the founder of the Underworld in Pan Gu Universe and the host of the first Samsara Heavenly Physique.
There were a few who could rival a Primordial during ancient times.
Then, information about the Divine Underworld Daoist appeared in his mind.
If someone else claimed they wanted to kill or defeat Hua Wuai to take control of the Underworld, it would be a joke. However, the Divine Underworld Daoist was different.
After all, he was the Divine Underworld Daoist of ancient times.
“Did he say what he was going to use to take control of the Underworld?”
“I have no idea about that.”
The Underworld River Forefather shook his head. “Can I leave now?”
“Of course… not!”
The Underworld River Forefather was delighted by the first half of Chu Kuangren’s sentence but was drowned in despair at the end.
“What do you mean, Chu Kuangren? Are you going back on your vow?”
“I said I won’t kill you, but I didn’t say I will let you go.”
Chu Kuangren looked at him coldly and said, “It’s a huge crime to desecrate dead souls. As such, you are hereby sentenced to prison in the eighteenth level of the Underworld for eternity.”
After that, the Infernal Dragon Flame burned the last drop of blood in the ocean.
Only the Underworld River Forefather was left, shuddering in fear before Chu Kuangren. He was seriously injured after the exchange with Chu Kuangren and could no longer fight back.
“Chu Kuangren, do you think the Great Dao is a gullible target? Just you wait! The Great Dao will punish you!” the Underworld River Forefather shouted.
It was useless trying to trick the Great Dao.
Many people in history had tried to trick the Great Dao using wordplay, and they were all exposed and punished.
That was why the Underworld River Forefather believed Chu Kuangren would not be able to escape.
However, even after Chu Kuangren destroyed the Underworld River Forefather’s body, leaving only his soul, the Great Dao did not react.
The Underworld River Forefather was confused.
Could it be that Chu Kuangren managed to fool the Great Dao?
There was no way because it just did not make sense.
How could the Great Dao agree?
The Underworld River Forefather could not understand it.
Could it be that the Great Dao did not want to hurt Chu Kuangren?
“W-What did you do to the Great Dao? How did you escape the Great Dao’s punishment?” the Underworld River Forefather roared.
“Granting a little privilege to the person who saved the universe is normal, don’t you think?” Chu Kuangren said.
He already knew the Great Dao Vow would not work on him because, first of all, he was not under the Great Dao’s control.
Secondly, like he said, he had saved the Pan Gu Universe and indirectly saved the Great Dao.
It was not unreasonable for the Great Dao to favor him and be biased toward him.
Nevertheless, Chu Kuangren did not plan on killing the Underworld River Forefather.
Killing him after what he did would be an easy way out, and torture in the eighteenth level of the Underworld would be the best punishment.
Soon, the Underworld River Forefather’s soul was brutally beaten up by Chu Kuangren and dragged into his Enchanted Sleeve like picking up a piece of trash.
Shocked, the Ashura Kings and the others widened their eyes in disbelief.
