Chapter 1171: Gates of Hell
Lu Xuan instantly understood everything. Why was the hell acting so strangely this time? It turned out that it was because of this.
It turned out that it wasn’t some astonishing scheme. Instead, it was because this old devil was trying to break through. If he succeeded, he would become the eighth Great Devil King of Hell.
There was a saying in hell that there were seven Great Devil Kings below Satan. Each of these seven great devil kings was comparable to an emperor-level expert, and each of them was extremely terrifying.
But similarly, the Seven Demon Kings in Hell joined forces to monopolize the high-level combat power of hell. Unlike the heaven realm, there was a regular heavenly court that was constantly grooming new successors.
The Seven Demon Kings in Hell divided up the various regions, giving no room for others to advance.
If this old devil wanted to break through, it would be too difficult in hell. If he was not careful, he would be ambushed by the seven demon kings.
Because to break through, he would have to face many heavenly tribulations, and some of them were the so-called human tribulations. If he was not careful, he might directly die.
In any case, the seven demon kings would not allow anyone to challenge their rule. That was why this old devil came to the prison state.
The prison state was a zone that did not care about anything. The Heaven Court would not directly govern it, and the hell court would not directly interfere. By breaking through here, he could avoid the interference of the Demon Kings in Hell.
As for the Heaven Court, because countless devils crawled out of the prison prefecture and rushed towards the Zhao prefecture, how would they have the time to care about him? He could make use of this opportunity to break through in the shortest amount of time possible.
However, the difficulty of becoming an imperial emperor was extremely high. There was no need to doubt that even the lifelong immortal king was hiding somewhere, trying his best to break through.
This meant that it would take a very long time to become an emperor. In that case, why did this old devil have the confidence to become an emperor in such a short amount of time?
One had to know that this was the heaven realm’s headquarters. He was definitely not the only powerful immortal king. There were even some peak-stage immortal kings who were stationed in the heavenly court. By the time these big shots arrived, this old devil would be dead for sure.
In his previous life, he had never heard of this old devil succeeding. From the looks of it, he had failed to transcend the tribulation.
However, Lu Xuan wouldn’t place his hopes on the illusory hope of failing in his previous life. The storm that he stirred up didn’t affect him in the slightest. This was the case in his previous life, but it might not be the case in this life.
If he really succeeded, then the consequences would be truly terrifying!
There was an additional great demon king in the prison state. In addition, he was very clear that there was really no emperor overseeing the heaven realm at the moment.
Before the Moon Emperor received the news and rushed back, it would be enough for this great demon king to cause a monstrous massacre.
Lu Xuan could only stop him before he became an emperor, regardless of whether he had the chance to become an emperor or Not!
The old devil sitting cross-legged on the altar looked at Lu Xuan, his eyes flashing with a dangerous aura. In an instant, wind and thunder roared, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Between heaven and earth, the souls of countless devils appeared, like an endless ocean, their demonic might overflowed the heavens, they headed in Lu Xuan’s direction.
Lu Xuan let out a long breath, and the mana in his entire body began to burn. Without any hesitation, he immediately used his second Immortal Soul Avatar.
With his original body, it was too much for him to fight against such a half-step imperial emperor.
“Buzz!”
Lu Xuan’s entire body shone with golden light. All sorts of laws surged up endlessly. At this moment, he was like a great sun, illuminating the entire prison state.
Countless demons were illuminated and turned into green smoke, disappearing without a trace.
“Human, you are not my match. You should leave!”
The old devil said slowly. There was terrifying devil qi boiling all over his body, but his eyes were extremely calm when he looked at Lu Xuan.
“I wonder which devil king you are from the Devil World?” Lu Xuan said faintly. “A devil king like you is already qualified to leave his name in front of me!”
“What an arrogant human!” The old devil said slowly, “But I don’t plan to tell a dead person. If you take another step forward, today will be the day you die!”
Lu Xuan looked at the old devil coldly, he said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to tell me. I know that you can’t leave this altar right now. I’m also a little interested in what exactly this altar is. Do you really think that you can become an emperor in a short period of time with this altar?”
The old devil’s light yellow eyes suddenly contracted because Lu Xuan was actually able to see through his intentions.
He could also see through his current death acupuncture point, which was on this altar. Instantly, killing intent boiled in his eyes.
“Since you want to die, then I’ll grant you your wish!”
The old devil said coldly.
In the sky, countless amounts of devil qi condensed and boiled, transforming into a huge door that was tens of thousands of feet tall. A mysterious character was written on it, but people could tell that it was hell.
“Is it the Gate of Hell?” Lu Xuan grinned. He recognized this divine ability at a glance. “Legend has it that at the entrance of Hell, there is a gate of hell, containing countless devils of hell. It is also the starting point of the Devil race’s civilization in hell. Back then, Satan relied on this gate of Hell’s inheritance to become the hand of many devils in hell. He also comprehended a divine ability called the gate of hell. Am I right?”
“You know quite a lot, but you still have to die!”
The old devil said coldly.
“If it was Satan who cast the gates of Hell, I might be a bit afraid. But with your skills, you’re still a bit lacking!”
Lu Xuan said. He had seen Satan refine the gates of hell into his own power item and use it together with the divine ability of the gates of hell to shatter an entire world with a single move. It was incomparably tyrannical.
However, the old devil’s cultivation was far from it.
“Boom!”
After the gates of hell took shape, it descended at an astonishing speed, suppressing everything. That supreme aura that no one in the world could resist was released.
Lu Xuan was fearless. He stretched out his arms, and his fists were glowing. Streams of divine light were released from his body. His laws were sublimated, and behind him, he transformed into a gigantic golden war god.
Lu Xuan took a step forward and punched out with all his might.
“Boom!”
The entire prison state was shaking. Lu Xuan’s punch collided with the gates of hell. Mountains and rivers were crumbling, and rivers were flowing backward. A terrifying scene that looked like the end of the world finally erupted.
Immediately after, the Gate of hell let out a mournful cry. Then, all kinds of cracks were added to it, and it cracked and instantly turned into dust.
If it was a real gates of hell, of course, it wouldn’t be so easily shattered. However, it was just a gates of hell that was evolved from a divine ability. It would be much easier to destroy it.
“Looks like you’re the biggest human tribulation I’ve faced this time. Forget it, I’ll kill you first!”
The old devil stood up.
