Chapter 44 The Four Hundred Million Tribulations of the Netherworld, Longevity Peach

Unlike Fuxi, Houtu possesses the authority of the Netherworld Ruler. The death energy of the Netherworld not only cannot cause any harm to Houtu, but can also enhance Houtu's physical strength and essence.

As for Xuanming, after Houtu's introduction, Fuxi also learned that Xuanming was also a primordial god-demon born from the Netherworld, of noble birth, possessing certain Netherworld authority, and having known Houtu for hundreds of millions of years.

Houtu, Xuanming, and the Styx River that went out—these three are the three strongest innate gods and demons in the Netherworld. They have also formed an alliance to protect the safety of the Netherworld.

In the pitch-black Netherworld passage, dragon energy coiled around Fuxi's body, and with a clench of his five fingers, he grasped a wisp of Netherworld death energy.

Fuxi's eyes shone with a divine light, and the composition of this wisp of deathly aura was continuously differentiated. Strands of cloud-like primordial energy particles appeared in Fuxi's eyes, evolving into many profound meanings of the Great Dao.

Yin energy, turbid energy, death energy, malevolent energy, life energy, earth energy, and many other fundamental primordial energies merge and connect with each other in essence to form this wisp of netherworld death energy.

In essence, the Netherworld Death Qi is not much different from the Dragon Emperor Qi on other bodies. It is a kind of primordial energy that is close to the origin of spiritual energy. If it is further sublimated, the Netherworld Death Qi will become the origin of the Netherworld.

Fuxi himself evolved the two principles of life and death from the source of the Dao's spiritual light, and the essence of the Netherworld's death energy is also extremely compatible with the two principles of life and death.

Fuxi absorbed a wisp of Netherworld Death Qi into his body. The Yin and Yang of Life and Death separated the Netherworld Death Qi, and the intertwining of life and death formed a spiral that devoured the Netherworld Death Qi.

Fuxi's body trembled slightly, and the innate method among the eight methods of the "Theory of Form" subtly improved and perfected by one point at this moment.

The essence of the innate law is to connect with the origin of heaven and earth, and to sublimate one's own existence with the origin of heaven and earth. The essence of the Netherworld Death Qi is extremely high, almost like the origin of heaven and earth.

This wisp of deathly energy merged into Fuxi's body, propelling him to further break free from the concept of death.

If Fuxi could tame the death energy of the underworld, or even the origin of the underworld, he should be able to break free from the concept of death to some extent and ignore some of the death energy that has evolved naturally.

After understanding the essence of the Netherworld Death Qi, Fuxi began to refine it with all his might, using innate techniques to reverse the primordial power within it and enhance his own divine and demonic origins.

Seeing Fuxi begin refining the Netherworld Death Qi, Xuanming, who was standing to the side, had a hint of surprise flash in his cold eyes.

To be able to grasp a portion of the essence of the Netherworld's death energy in such a short time and forcibly refine it demonstrates that Fuxi's talent is no less than that of some innate gods and demons born in the Netherworld.

After traveling through the Netherworld Passage for three hundred years, Fuxi, Houtu, and Xuanming finally arrived at the Netherworld.

The leaden sky stretched endlessly, occasionally streaked by streaks of blood-red lightning, illuminating the heavens and earth in a flickering light.

The vast wilderness was desolate, devoid of any living creatures or vegetation. Only a few scattered spirits and remnants of the dead wandered the silent earth, ignorant and listless, devoid of any vitality.

A series of mysterious calamities constantly intertwined and erupted, destroying all existence and life between heaven and earth, transforming into an indescribable terror.

The Celestial Tribulation, the Wind Tribulation, the Purple Strike Tribulation, the Corpse and Blood Tribulation, the Skull and Gu Tribulation, the Crimson Blood Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, the Yinming Gui Water Tribulation, the Earthly Turbid Abyss Tribulation, the Nine Profound Reversal of Fate Tribulation, the Death Prison Fallen Heart Tribulation...

Endless calamities are hidden in the void, scattered throughout every inch of the Netherworld. Although they are contained and do not manifest, even just sensing the terrifying calamities surging in the void is enough to deter any cultivator who wants to enter the Netherworld.

The sight before him brought a touch of nostalgia to Fuxi's eyes; he had struggled for a long time in such a world.

The moment Fuxi stepped into the Netherworld, he felt the calamity energy swirling around him; the power of the Netherworld's forty million calamities had locked onto him.

Houtu's phoenix eyes narrowed, and the power of her Netherworld authority blocked the Netherworld calamities sweeping in from all sides. A pink peach appeared in her hand and she handed it to Fuxi.

The Longevity Peach, a spiritual root of the underworld, is the fruit of a large peach tree. This large peach tree suppresses the westernmost Dushuo Mountain in the underworld and is one of the most precious treasures for suppressing the fortune of the underworld. Houtu is the owner of this large peach tree.

The peaches that grow from large peach trees have many wonderful uses: they can cleanse the soul, condense the spirit, dispel death energy, restore vitality, and even reverse the balance of life and death, turning death into life.

For Fuxi, the greatest function of the peach was to temporarily shield him from the perception of the Netherworld through the Four Hundred Million Calamities.

Consuming the peach of longevity will prevent the Netherworld from locking onto you for a certain period of time. This is the most convenient and safest way to avoid calamity in the Netherworld.

Fuxi opened his mouth and inhaled, and the longevity peach transformed into a wisp of divine medicinal essence that entered his body. His soul and essence trembled slightly, and Fuxi immediately felt the sublimation and tempering of his own essence and soul.

Fuxi's already immense and powerful soul energy increased by 30%, and its purity also improved significantly.

In terms of the physical body, the duality of life and death within Fuxi's body was greatly enhanced, and the concept of death within Fuxi was temporarily erased by this peach of immortality.

Before the essence of the longevity peach is exhausted, ordinary damage is useless against Fuxi.

Most importantly, under the protection of this divine medicine's essence, the Netherworld Calamity sweeping towards Fuxi from all sides is slowly receding.

Having consumed the peach of longevity, Fuxi was essentially granted authority over the underworld, and would no longer be subject to the lock-on and attacks of the underworld for four hundred million eons.

Houtu tapped the golden axis in front of her, and the Heavenly Crossing Void Tribulation of the Netherworld's Four Hundred Million Tribulations manifested out of thin air. A booming explosion rang out, and a large area of ​​void exploded in front of Houtu.

The constantly shattering void broke apart, sending countless fragments spreading in all directions. Almost instantly, it tore open a chasm stretching for tens of thousands of miles in front of Houtu and the other two.

The Heavenly Crossing Void Tribulation is a kind of Netherworld Tribulation that shatters the heavens and the void, posing a great threat even to people like Fuxi.

Houtu then forcibly controlled this calamity with her own Netherworld authority, using the Heavenly Crossing Void Tribulation to tear apart space and achieve a kind of supernatural power similar to spatial teleportation.

Fuxi was also surprised that Houtu could interfere with and control even the Netherworld's Four Hundred Million Tribulations. This made Fuxi wonder whether the Netherworld authority on Houtu was just an ordinary authority of the origin of heaven and earth, or the authority of the ruler of the Netherworld.

Without the potential to become the ruler of the Netherworld in the future, the Primordial Heavenly Dao probably wouldn't have granted Houtu such great power.

"With the help of the spatial passage torn apart by the Heavenly Crossing Void Tribulation, we can reach the location of the Underworld Heavenly Cabinet in a maximum of one hundred years."

Houtu walked at the forefront, constantly manipulating the way the Heavenly Crossing Void Tribulation erupted with the golden axis in her hand, extending the distance of the torn void.
