Chapter 1201: Piercing the Underworld, Karma Hard to Bear

Floating clouds are black as ink, drifting winds are angry as madness.

The Heaven-Reaching Great King Lotus is evergreen throughout the seasons, with a three-inch-thick layer of velvety snow on the leaf surface, swaying, the snow on the edge constantly cracking, sliding into the Great Marsh, melting and disappearing.

"Great King, Great King, cloudy sky, such a big cloudy sky outside."

"Gloomy, cold, always have a bad premonition."

Big Fatty and Second Fatty jumped into the Frog King's cave, shivered, and talked all at once.

Behind, Great Demon frog heads surged, croaking without stop.

"Great King, is it Elder promoting?"

"Will we be struck by lightning."

"I'm afraid of pain, gua."

"Don't be afraid, or Elder has achieved great success, lightning tribulation will fall, as long as we carry it through, we will be reborn." The Frog King grabbed the dark red large anchor, although uneasy in his heart, he also showed calmness in front of the frogs, "According to previous drills, the old, weak, sick, and disabled, those who should drill into holes drill into holes, those who should hide hide, Great Demons form a formation, resist together!

Big Fatty, you quickly go to West Water, inform the Turtle King.

Second Fatty, you quickly go to North Water, inform Jiang Shang.

Footless Frog, wait, Footless Frog is not here, Erbao, you go to the Long Gong.

Dabao, you take the lead, lead the remaining Great Demons; Daban, you disperse the clan frogs."

"Obey!"

Big Fatty and Second Fatty frog webs pressed against their heads at ninety degrees, frog leg muscles bulging, fiercely knotted, kicked the ground to attack, one up and one down, leaping dozens of miles, stepping on water and galloping.

"Remaining—en?"

The Frog King looked up at the cloudy sky, his mood heavy, suddenly feeling comfortable.

Within perception.

South, West, North, all directions had Martial Saints and Demon Kings rushing over!

"Hu-la-la, Wuhu, so fast. Fast! Yue Wang Master, charge charge charge! Mission code: Save Great Frog Multi-Treasure!"

Little Mirage Dragon coiled around the small arm, opened its mouth to swallow the wind, *hu-la-la* mouth puffed into a small balloon, dragon claws waving.

Yue Wang listened to the Third Prince's wailing, smiled, stepped on the wind and rushed.

Fenchuan Road, Datong Prefecture.

Clang, clang, clang, clang.

Nine-ring tin staff and bone stick collided, rippling ripples.

Tatta Kai and Scarface fought again and killed, fought again and killed.

Sparks were dense like weaving, falling like star rain, stick tips connected into a piece, wind couldn't penetrate, chasing each other, residual shadows floating, murderous aura overflowing, hearty and dripping.

Above the head, Vajra King stepped on the air to go on an expedition, left the Hanging Temple, rushed to Pingyang.

South Zhili.

Incense, the attendant held the imperial edict, walking quickly, bowing and handing it over.

"Two Princes, the Purple Lightning Ship has sent a message. At the request of the Prince of Huai, His Majesty has issued an order to assist the Prince of Huai and help the Jianghuai Frog Elder, the River-Lake Office Registrar, and the Treasure Toad promote to a Great Demon."

"En?"

"Who did you say is promoting?"

The eunuch bowed: "The Jianghuai Frog Elder, the River-Lake Office Registrar, and the Treasure Toad can be regarded as the foster father of the Jianghuai Frog King."

The two Princes grabbed the imperial edict, looked at each other, unbelievable.

"Great Demon, Multi-Treasure?"

Peng Ze.

Mountain peaks coiled with clouds and mist, ethereal without traces, thin "human shadows" surging.

"Cannot Move" scratched its wooden horns.

"Sure there is none?" Yuan General was puzzled, "Your boss just let you transmit the message, didn't let you say what benefits to give this old man? Asking people for help without giving errands? Running fees? Labor damage money?"

"Cannot Move" scratched its wooden horns.

Yuan General was furious: "What is love to go or not? Don't think this old man doesn't know, back then the toad became a demon lightning tribulation was saved by the Old Dragon Lord. People around Peng Ze handle funerals, help serve dishes, the host must pack a red envelope, leave a meal, resist lightning tribulation without giving this old man benefits?"

The time insects on the mountain pointed at "Cannot Move," a group of purple-faced mountains swung back and forth, squeaking and screaming.

"Cannot Move" scratched its wooden horns.

"Damn it! This old man has lived so long, never took a claw, Liang kid is good, twice a year!"

Yuan General cursed, paddled its turtle claws, swam to Huai River, time insects jumped up and down, sharp explosions, condemning the old turtle for having no principles, self-degrading, spitting a mouthful of saliva on the ground.

Disgusting!

Disgusting!

"Look at you, anxious again, heaven and earth tribulation is dead, can't offend anyone, help Multi-Treasure, sigh—"

Yuan General witnessed the frog clan developing from a small tribe to one of the four pillars of the demon court, carrying a longevity mountain itself, and was used by the Old Toad like a "Peng Ze Compass," clearly knowing this weird thing had some saying, spirit monster, demon time could bring out a Frog King, promotion to Great Demon would be even more amazing, what if there is something to ask for in the future?

Dragon-Man three elders, Ao Qing, turtle clan Great Demon, Su Guishan, Wei Lin, Xu Yuelong, water beasts one after another merged into the frog clan formation.

Ghost Mother cave, Long Eying carried the yellow leather bag, recited repeatedly, ensuring the plan order was accurate.

March Jingzhe, February Lichun, driving away the Flood Dragon, occupying the Long Gong, less than a year in total, Prince of Huai Liang Qu, once again organized a Wu Sheng game, the world waited and watched.

Northern Court Khan, Southern Border Tusi were suspicious.

"What is this for?"

"The Datong Prefecture is a rogue cultivator, the Jianghuai Peng Ze is a Demon King, only the two Princes of Nanzhili and the Prince of Ningjiang are titled Princes—"

Overseas countries also stretched their necks, intending to observe whether they could take a share in the chaos. The Central Plains had been too chaotic in recent years, making people's hearts move.

Why is there a saying of "Jiazi National Tribulation" between sixty and a hundred years of founding a country?

Because at this time, the general trend seems stable, but in fact, the Central Plains is moving towards prosperity, most surviving experts were from the previous dynasty when young, and had no strong sense of belonging. If internal and external forces want to fight, break the pattern, compared to the next thousand years, this moment is the best choice. Throughout history, there is no lack of countries that perished because of this.

Three fief kings moved, the mobilization was not big or small, but things were not coincidental, Jianghuai Great Marsh was located in South Zhili, Ningjiang Prefecture was adjacent to South Zhili, the imperial court's three kings' actions were not big, strategically there was no major exposure, and the Flood Dragon left, Ghost Mother perished, there was no obvious external enemy in Jianghuai Great Marsh.

Could it be making a move on White Ape?

Impossible.

White Ape and Great Shun relationship was clearly ambiguous, and rumors of water island, port construction, perfect political alliance.

Southern Border, Northern Court were puzzled.

Little people didn't care that much.

Fishing fence closed, fishermen wrapped hemp rope, tied to the mooring pillar.

Shangrao villagers pointed at the sky, whispering, vegetable prices at the alley entrance rose slightly, everyone took down red lanterns, closed doors tightly, used shoulder poles to support the ground to resist, worried that such thick dark clouds, blowing strong winds would blow away doors and windows.

Green Pattern Valley Li Xianghan was happily preparing for the New Year, packed the life-bound Gu refining materials, just waiting for after the New Year, to refine the Golden-Winged Snail, cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds, walking to the peak of life, secretly amazing, teaching everyone to look at her with new eyes!

In the ocean, Sea Tooth King didn't pay attention to Huai River, world trend, instead frequently looked to the south of its territory. It knew how its neighbor came, White Ape and Flood Dragon fought, finally making it under great pressure.

Hope to make a big movement, let the neighbor move.

Underworld, Blood River, Ze Kingdom.

"Toad Stubborn Stone" bloomed with cracks, just this one, seven-colored treasure light emerged, wandering, like night sky aurora, also like karst cave floating light.

"Ka-mi-ka."

Liang Qu had never seen such a peculiar breakthrough scene.

Shedding stone skin?

Demon beast four levels into five levels, logically should pass flesh and blood, soul, heaven and earth three tribulations, obviously, exotic species Old Toad was completely different, but heaven and earth tribulation was indeed there, very fierce.

"Grandpa Shou?"

"Only two days, faster than imagined." Wu Cangshou stared, absorbing promotion experience, "How, Prince of Huai heaven and earth united, felt anything, can you carry it?"

"I didn't feel anything, but there's no help for it, I have to carry on even if I can't. Anyway, I've called everyone I could call, I'll go out and take a look."

The Imperial Court, the Xuankong Temple, the Prince of Yue, and the Demon Kings—Liang Qu had already used all his human and demon connections. He had the fat catfish take him to shuttle between the inside and outside.

Outside the Marsh Kingdom, the surging blood river was calm and tranquil.

"Such low air pressure." Liang Qu flared his nostrils, his chest feeling stifled.

There were no dark clouds or strong winds in the sky, but low air pressure was a precursor to rain.

Could it really chase him into the underworld?

Dark clouds pressed down on the city as if it were about to crumble. Liang Qu was worried. To be safe, he went to ask the Great Divine Being again. He used 【Water Travel Thousand Miles】 to jump and flash into the Dragon King Cave. Before he could ask Long Jun about the situation, he was first pounced on by a dragon shadow.

"Good lad, you finally came. There's a good opportunity!"

"What opportunity?" Liang Qu was stunned.

The dragon shadow flickered violently, speaking extremely fast: "I didn't think of it before, and I underestimated the power of the Great Demon Treasure Toad's lightning tribulation. Do you remember how the Dragon King Cave came to be?"

"The old senior was plotted against by the Whale Emperor and the Great Li founding ancestor, fell into the underworld, and after being severely injured, forcibly advanced toward the mortal world, creating a 'passage'. It almost pierced through the world; birds couldn't fly and fish couldn't swim, but because of this, you were trapped here and slowly refined by the Heaven Fire Sect." Liang Qu had a flash of inspiration, "Senior wants to use the Frog Elder's lightning tribulation?"

"That's right!" The dragon shadow was uncontrollably excited, "In the entire underworld, this place is the weakest, lacking only one layer. If I can combine the lightning tribulation sent by heaven and earth with the power of extreme yang to 'work from the inside and outside', I might be able to get out of here!"

Liang Qu's thoughts raced: "But if that happens, wouldn't it completely connect the underworld and the mortal world? With the two realms intertwined, the mortal world might not necessarily suffer, but the Great Shun would definitely be in turmoil and fall into a quagmire. Since ancient times, winners are kings and losers are bandits; the Northern Court and Southern Frontier will surely take advantage of the situation. The world, which has finally stabilized, will fall into great chaos.

Besides, how much strength do you have left now? The Whale Emperor is watching like a tiger eyeing its prey outside. If he could send you in once, he might be able to send you in a second time. Once you leave, the Great Li will definitely notice. If you can't immediately get the support of other immortals, it will be even more dangerous, and you will have no power to fight back! Moreover, the other immortals might not necessarily not want to seek the Great Dao!"

"Seek the Great Dao, yes, that is a problem, that is a problem—"

The dragon shadow flickered, muttering to itself.

Liang Qu was covered in cold sweat.

All the versions of the furnace information he had came from the dragon shadow before him. The basis of their mutual trust was not that solid; it could be true, or it could be false!

Refuse?

Can he refuse?

"Click."

Inside the Marsh Kingdom, the Toad Rock bloomed with a second crack, and a richer treasure light shone.

White light flickered within the Jianghuai dark clouds, and the lightning dragon surged.

It was imminent.

"It's hard to withstand the intertwining of the two realms, so don't pierce through it, just drill a crack and get out!" The dragon shadow jumped and flashed, "As long as I can let out a crack, I can catch my breath and get nourishment from the Huai River, instead of staying here waiting for death!"

"Drill a crack?"

"Let the first heavenly lightning fall, you take Treasure Toad and run away. Whether this lightning can drill out a crack, leave it to fate!"

"Click."

The third crack bloomed, intersecting with the first two, and the treasure light shot into the sky, filling the entire Marsh Kingdom.

"Lad, I know you don't completely trust me. You lifted the bloodline seal on your wife, and then lifted the one on Long Chen and the others, suspecting that I deliberately left a backup, and even suspecting my true identity, right?"

"Yes!" Time was tight, there was no room for quibbling, and Liang Qu did not hide it.

"I did indeed leave a backup. If it were you, you would also leave one!"

"Why?"

The dragon shadow flickered gloomily: "Dragon men are handsome and tall, dragon women are beautiful and slender, their skin is like jade, and their hair is like green silk.

Ordinary Wolf Smoke realm cultivators have a lifespan of nearly two hundred years. Although they can no longer use longevity treasures, how many longevity treasures would it take to extend their life by eighty years, more than sixty years?

The dragon men born from my fusion of human embryos and my essence blood are superior to humans in appearance, cultivation, and lifespan in every way.

You sing and dance with the dragon woman every night, you know best in your heart! If you don't add a seal and let them decay their bloodline generation by generation, do you know what will happen?"

Liang Qu frowned.

"I advise you, do not lift the seals on them without restraint! It's fine if the world is all human, and it's fine if it's all dragon men, but only the cause and effect of the two gradually changing and merging will change the world. Even the furnace cannot withstand it, and the Jianghuai cannot contain it!

You worry today that I am lying and dare not open it, simply because you dare not bear the cause and effect of the world falling into chaos. Your thoughts are no different from mine, so you would also leave a backup!

A real man acts with decisiveness. I have spoken frankly to this point, lad, will you do it or not?"

"Click, click."

The fourth and fifth cracks bloomed. Wu Cangshou, the fat catfish, and the Frog Commandant were stimulated by the brilliant light and narrowed their eyes.

The old toad began to squirm, shaking its frog legs, shaking its frog head, and pulling at the stone skin on its body.

The sixth, the seventh...

Time ticked away, second by second.

In the Ghost Mother's cave, Long Eying counted out a sufficient amount of flesh-and-blood elixirs, but they did not fall into the blood trough for a long time. In the Jianghuai Great Marsh, two turtles and one frog, three of the four Great Demon Kings gathered. The old monk and the Prince of Yue were in position, and the Prince of Su and the Prince of Jing were in position.

White light flashed in the dark clouds, and dull, oppressive thunder whispered within them.

"Where are the Octopus King, the Ape King, and the Prince of Huai?" The Prince of Jing looked north, "Why aren't they coming?"

"They have a combined technique, it'll be here soon." The Frog King waved its big anchor and replied.

"Combined?"

"Good! Then let's drill a crack!"

"Good!"

"Fatty! Bring the Frog Elder out."

There is a time delay in the conversion of the Ghost Mother's life and death positions. It is impossible to hit this limit, and Liang Qu cannot grasp it, so he simply turned passive into active, first weakening the isolation of heaven and earth, and actively inducing the first lightning!

Whoosh.

The fat catfish opened its sharp mouth, scooped up the transforming old toad like a shovel, and leaped out of the Marsh Kingdom.

The double nesting became a single one, and it was at the weakest point of the underworld's obstruction.

The Jianghuai lightning pool, which had not fallen for a long time, suddenly became restless, and a thick blue dragon appeared, its head visible.

"How can it be so fierce?" The Prince of Jing's heart jumped, and he activated his protective divine ability.

"Wait, don't go out, it's not ready yet!" Wu Cangshou was terrified and didn't understand, but in the next moment, he saw the fat catfish jumping back with the old toad in its mouth.

A thunderbolt erupted.

The thunder chariot drove the rain, the dragons rose, and electricity traveled through the air like wild arrows.

The straight blue dragon roared down!

Heaven and earth were silver-white.

The Golden Body Buddha, the silver-pointed spear tip, the dark red anchor, and the ethereal Turtle Mountain all blasted out at once.

However, "Where is the thunder?"

The crowd and demons looked at the sky in confusion, at the electric dragon that had clearly struck down but finally disappeared strangely in mid-air.

Where did this strike?

"It's here!"

The blood sea in the Dragon King Cave was churning.

The flowing light dragon shadow disappeared without a trace.

Liang Qu's hair stood on end, and his heart felt a sudden impulse.

"This place is weak. Once a crack is opened, it can no longer block Treasure Toad's location. Go!"

Shouts came from afar. Without hesitation, Liang Qu transformed into a blood ape. His strength soared, the feeling of sudden impulse disappeared, and he grabbed the pillar supporting the sky above his head and galloped upward!

Boom, there was thunder behind him.

With one leap, the blood river surged before his eyes.

The Dragon King Cave was filled with wind and clouds, but outside the underworld, it was still calm, except for the oppressive low air pressure.

Liang Qu performed 【Water Travel Thousand Miles】, and the blood ape leaped and disappeared.

The wind howled, and snow rolled through the air.

A long quarter of an hour.

The Martial Saints and Demon Kings on the Jianghuai Great Marsh couldn't help but wonder if the heavenly tribulation had struck the wrong place.

Just one strike, and they didn't know where it struck.

Gone?

Inside the Marsh Kingdom.

Bang!

Colorful light exploded, and the old toad, covered in treasure light, appeared in the world, spinning two and a half times in the air, quickly eating the stone skin around its body.

"Magistrate Liang!"

The brewing reached the extreme, and dark clouds appeared over the blood red.

The effort was not in vain!

"Eying!"

Whoosh~

The tide hit the shore.

The tentacles on the cave ceiling retracted and coiled. Long Eying picked up the two corners of the yellow leather bag, and the blood-red elixirs rolled and jumped into the blood trough, merging into the Ghost Mother's trajectory.

The shadow arm and the sculpture arm overlapped in an instant!
