There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 154 Lord of Chaos

A jet-black beast claw, exuding endless divine order and malevolent energy, tore through space and slammed into the depths of the underworld.

The terrifying aura threatened to suppress the entire underworld, causing this world of the dead to tremble violently.

"presumptuous!"

However, the next moment, a loud shout came from the depths of the Netherworld, and a figure shrouded in black mist, whose face could not be seen, appeared under the beast's claws.

The visitor was Shen Tu, one of the Ten Ghost Emperors of the Underworld. Because the Underworld was newly established and lacked manpower, he was responsible for guarding the Ghost Gate, the passage between the Underworld and the mortal world.

Originally, Shen Tu and the other rulers of the underworld were in seclusion deep in the Netherworld, but they felt that the Ghost Gate they were responsible for guarding was under attack and had no choice but to break out of their seclusion.

"boom……"

Shen Tu raised his hand and struck the beast's claw with a palm. Ripples spread through the void, and the terrifying beast's claw was instantly obliterated, turning into the essence of heaven and earth and dissipating.

"Who dares to trespass into the Underworld? Show yourself and face your death!" Shen Tu's sharp gaze swept towards a certain spot in the void, his Heavenly Power activated, ready to unleash his unparalleled divine power at any moment.

"Not bad, you actually managed to withstand my attack. You do have some skill. State your name, I don't kill nameless nobodies."

Under Shen Tu's watchful gaze, a large tiger with white skin and black stripes slowly stepped out of the void.

Spade exuded a murderous aura, his sharp gaze sweeping down at Shen Tu below, yet a hint of solemnity was inadvertently revealed in his eyes.

"What an eerie aura! It's like a divine beast, yet it carries an aura even colder and darker than the underworld?"

"Who are you? What brings you to the Underworld?" Shen Tu looked up at the Spade in the void, not daring to make a move for the moment because he did not know the other party's strength.

However, the dense dark aura emanating from Spade reminded him of a mysterious force that had recently emerged in the mortal realm—the Gods.

"I am the Black Emperor, the Lord of Chaos of the Divine Race," Spade said in a deep voice. As for his real name, Spade indicated that he was too lazy to tell the other party, and the other party was not worthy to hear it.

Before arriving in the Underworld, Chen Ying estimated that since the Underworld was newly established, there shouldn't be many powerful figures, and he and Spade would be able to handle it.

However, upon arriving at the Netherworld, Chen Ying discovered that the Netherworld's strength was somewhat beyond their expectations. Deep within the Netherworld lay several powerful figures whose strength was no weaker than, and in some cases even surpassed, his own at his peak.

If he hadn't had part of his cultivation severed by the Primordial Qilin and had enough means to deal with it, he wouldn't be so afraid. Unfortunately, there aren't so many "what ifs" in this world.

Therefore, Chen Ying changed his strategy and chose to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He instructed Black Spade to make as much noise as possible to attract the attention of the underworld, while he took the opportunity to escape into the underworld and seize the underworld's treasure, the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc.

Seeing that Shen Tu was not moving, Spade was also a little anxious and cursed him as a coward.

"Roar!"

Spade let out a tiger's roar, and the terrifying sound waves seemed to materialize, surging towards Shen Tu like a tidal wave.

"Hmph, you dare to show off your meager skills before an expert! Heavenly Seal, suppress me!"

Shen Tu snorted coldly, then clasped his hands together, unleashing an incomparably terrifying power of order, which manifested as a large seal above his head.

The bottom of the seal is stamped with an ancient "冥" (ming) character, exuding a captivating aura, as if it were not evolved through supernatural powers, but rather a genuine spiritual treasure.

Driven by Shen Tu, the great seal pierced the sky, freezing the space like an invisible wall that blocked the sonic attack from Spade.

Seeing his attack blocked, Spade was not surprised. Instead, his fighting spirit was ignited: "Interesting. Today, I, the Tiger, will see how long you, the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld, can last."

Spade transformed into a burly man, shirtless with only a white tiger-skin skirt around his waist, exuding an astonishing fighting spirit.

"This is bad, this is troublesome!" Facing the black spade in human form, Shen Tu's expression became increasingly solemn. In his perception, the opponent's aura was much stronger than in its beast form.

Spade, now imposing and incredibly powerful, roared at Shen Tu, "I, the Lord of Chaos, have never feared any enemy in my life. Today... I will slay you as a sacrifice to my Dao!"

At this moment, Spade no longer suppressed its aura and chose to unleash all the power within its body.

In an instant, Spade's blood and energy seemed to be ignited, surging uncontrollably, transforming into a mighty dragon that soared into the sky, directly piercing through the Yin and Yang realms and staining the underworld red.

That energy was like an incomparably scorching furnace of heaven and earth, and for a moment all the powerful beings in heaven and on earth felt the aura of the Spade.

Several auras revived in the Netherworld and extended their divine senses toward Spade. Spade did not stop them; on the contrary, he wished that everyone would pay attention to him.

Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Court, Haotian also sensed the aura of the Spade. Although his expression appeared calm, a raging storm was brewing in his heart.

"This aura belongs to Chen Ying's subordinate, the clone of Zhan Hu? He has grown to this level in such a short time. It seems that the so-called gods are not so useless after all."

Qiong Tian, ​​who was cleaning the outhouse, also sensed Spade's presence and immediately became tense: "That Spade guy is hiding so deeply. It seems he has big plans. Could it be that he wants to replace my position with the Venerable One?"

Not only Qiongtian, but also Aohun, Paoxiao, and other dark divine beasts among the gods, all sensed the aura emanating from Spade.

With the eruption of the Spade, Shen Tu no longer held back, also raising his own state to its peak.

"Boom!"

The great battle broke out immediately, and a terrifying aura swept across the Netherworld, tearing apart the void, sinking countless Yin Mountains, and attracting the attention of the Underworld.

"A good opportunity!" Chen Ying, who was hiding in the shadows, seized this hard-won opportunity and directly used a secret technique to sneak into the place of reincarnation in the underworld.

As the great battle continued, even the underworld was gradually affected, and many newly built buildings began to collapse under the influence of the auras of Spade and Shen Tu.

This prompted the powerful figures who had been lying dormant in the underworld to relent. Several Ghost Emperor-level experts emerged one after another, determined to join forces with Shen Tu to suppress the Spade.

"Black Emperor, surrender if you don't want to die."

"That's right, stay in the underworld to guard it for a thousand years to atone for your sins, otherwise your life will be in danger today."

Faced with the combined attack of three Ghost Emperors, Black Spade, though in a sorry state, still gritted his teeth and persevered, even resorting to a strategy of trading blows for blows, which temporarily made Shen Tu and the others somewhat hesitant to fight freely.

"Your Excellency, hurry! I can't hold on much longer!" Spade was also in a difficult situation. There was still no movement from Chen Ying's side, and he dared not retreat without permission.

However, just as Spade was about to give up, Chen Ying suddenly gave the order to retreat in his mind.

"You're lucky today. I'm hungry. I'll go back and eat my fill before I come back to deal with you." Spade had barely finished speaking when his figure vanished like a phantom.

"It's an array platform. This guy set up a one-way teleportation altar a long time ago." Shen Tu said indignantly, crushing the small, dull teleportation altar in his hand.

Just as Shen Tu returned empty-handed, a terrifying killing intent suddenly surged from the depths of the Netherworld: "Who dares to steal the treasures of the Underworld?"

"This is the aura of the Emperor of Fengdu?! How did he wake up? Wait... just now the Emperor said that our Netherworld's most precious treasure was stolen?!"

Shen Tu was initially surprised that the Fengdu Emperor had been revived, but then he heard the news that the treasure was lost, which immediately reminded him of the Spade.

Shen Tu roared to the sky, "Damn it! The Black Emperor of the God Clan dares to steal the treasures of the Underworld! I will not let you get away with this!"

"Men, muster the troops for me. I am going to the mortal realm to slaughter the so-called gods and skin the Black Emperor alive."

In an instant, ghostly soldiers from the underworld began to resurrect, crossing the boundary between Yin and Yang and descending to the mortal realm.

At the same moment, in the stone tower of the ancient origin, Hao Chen's transformation also came to its final stage.

"Four Unlikes, Evil-Repelling, Heavenly Blessing, wait for me, we will be reunited soon."
