"Splash!"
At this moment in the human world, in a place of uncertainty and nothingness, a Stone Box guarded by Golden Armored Warriors suddenly responded and opened on its own.
From within, a streak of golden light emerged and instantly vanished into the sky.
This golden light went straight from the human world to the underworld, borrowed the path of the Naihe Bridge, and flew into the Netherworld Palace.
Even the State Preceptor guarding the Naihe Bridge at the time suddenly jerked his head, almost being hit by the golden light, and then watched as it, carrying a weight as heavy as a thousand tons, abruptly arrived before Hu Ma, and was grasped by him.
The mace, with nine sections, clinked with each ring, emitting the roar of an invisible beast, was precisely the Hu Family's treasure, the Demon Suppression Golden Mace.
Holding the mace in hand, the golden light burst forth; just the collision of the golden light and the nine rings on the mace already subdued the ghosts in the Netherworld Palace.
"Rebellion against authority shall bring the ruin of the human world!"
In the next instant, a surge of fierce aura approached with intensity. The Emperor Ghosts of the First and Second Halls, with hideous expressions, passed through the golden light emitted by the Demon Suppression Golden Mace, repelling numerous yin souls attempting to climb onto them and gnaw at them, directly charged at Hu Ma.
Now they appeared to have little semblance to humans, rather endless tentacles squirmed.
They were too close to Tai Sui; though they still existed in the form of Emperor Ghosts, and still believed themselves to be the two emperors of Douyi, it was impossible to discern if they were Emperor Ghosts' yin souls or Tai Sui's incarnations.
All that was certain was that they carried a Tai Sui aura not belonging to this human world, filthy evil spirits, intertwining in torrents, aiming to devour Hu Ma and the underworld.
As long as they devoured Hu Ma, there was still hope of entering the underworld.
Originally, they disdained entering the underworld; having been emperors in life, they would not be buried with commoners in death, they wanted to stand above all beings.
But now, it became their only chance; entering the underworld was the only way to glimpse the human world.
However they might think, Hu Ma now merely held the Demon Suppression Golden Mace and smashed it down fiercely.
The Eight Sceneries of Netherworld, all heavenly authority, now belonged solely to Hu Ma; thus, as he wielded the mace and smashed it down, he nearly reached the realm of doing as he pleased.
The Li Family threw out a white banner, which he caught in hand, as he waved it, a sea of blood surged everywhere, devouring everything; that was the power of Bloodstain Pond, a mere wave of the finger, and the blood energy soared to the sky.
The Zhou Family emitted a Magic Seal, which merged with Hu Ma's previously cultivated Heaven and Earth Unmoving Seal, integrating into his body, in shadow, bearing the sun, it harmonized with the Shousui man's life-and-death augmentation method, standing in the Netherworld Palace, he himself became the Ghost Gate.
The Zhu Family's Wild Dog Village transformed into a blue mist, surrounding his side, the barking of dogs was incessant, could be commanded at will, capable of swallowing everything.
The Jiang Family's Granny Meng's Shop turned into a bottle, held in the fourth hand of Hu Ma's Dharma Form, able to distort cause and effect, cleanse karma, unaffected by all techniques.
By this point, when Hu Ma looked at the two Emperor Ghosts of the Netherworld Palace, they seemed like mere ants.
"Rip!"
The first mace tore skin and stripped clothing.
Their filthy imperial robes, beast skins, jade belts, and even the skin belonging to humans, shattered under the first blow of the mace.
No matter if you are an emperor or infamous, at this Clothes Stripping Pavilion, all identities, destinies, abilities, and faces are peeled away.
Leaving only one, person.
Then, Hu Ma swung out the second mace.
This mace carried not only immense killing intent but also incited countless sounds of barking in the yin-obscured void, that was Wild Dog Village, devouring human awareness, intellect, pride, ambition, stripping these two Emperor Ghosts down another level.
In the next moment, Hu Ma swung the third mace, as if a sound of flowing water arose, enveloping the Emperor Ghosts, washing away their karma.
Without karma, they were like the blind, left only with instinctual roars.
But at this moment, Hu Ma had already swung the fourth mace, firmly smashing the two Emperor Ghosts downwards, their flesh splattered, rapidly falling, directly plunging into the deepest part of the Netherworld Palace.
As if a distinct mark appeared between heaven and earth, horizontally dividing them.
Not only were the two Emperor Ghosts forced back, but the entire hall of Evil Ghosts was also driven into a corner of the Netherworld Palace.
That was the Ghost Gate, the Yin-Yang Boundary, life and death like a prison.
"Yin and Yang are the boundary, life and death divided..."
"What is Magic, what is reason, turns out to be so simple..."
What heaven and earth give, they can also take away; even the possessions of the Emperor Ghosts in the Netherworld Palace, once all bestowed by heaven and earth, naturally could be stripped away.
The heavenly authority returned to him, had already brought Hu Ma to an unprecedented realm; even the Emperor Ghosts of the Netherworld Palace could scarcely withstand the weight of the Demon Suppression Golden Mace in his hand, pressed into despair with each blow.
The vast overlapping intertwined Netherworld Palace now showed one after another, massive cracks; that once indescribable ferocity, evil dread, hideous Emperor Ghosts, and the entire court of civil and military officials, all at this moment emitted cries of fear, then melted away in fragments.
