After some time, the green sparrow said, "What we saw earlier was indeed a Mark of Battle." It was clear that it had only just recovered from its shock. Then, the green sparrow suggested, "Should we leave?" Lin Xun shook his head. His black eyes appeared impossibly deep as he said, "Since we’re already here, it would be far too regretful to not see that extinguishing law fire." With that, he continued forward. The green sparrow suddenly regretted instigating Lin Xun to come here. Anyone could tell at a glance that this was a highly dangerous zone where even the slightest accident would most likely incur a catastrophe! However, the green sparrow could no longer dissuade him as it could tell that he had already made up his mind. The deeper they ventured, the thicker the black mist grew. It was utterly silent without even the tiniest bit of sound. Under Lin Xun's All-Seeing Eye, the ground was littered with broken tiles and blackened bones. Everything looked so decayed that it would probably disintegrate at the slightest touch. From these observations, Lin Xun hypothesized that many people had likely lived here in the previous epoch. So far, no other conclusions could be made. They walked several dozen miles in this manner without encountering even the slightest hint of danger, making the place seem very peaceful. However, Lin Xun could keenly sense that the deeper they traveled, the more oppressive the atmosphere grew, which made his hair stand on end. Lin Xun couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't we encountered the extinguishing law fire yet?" Before the green sparrow could reply, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared from the depths of the black mist like a towering mountain. Lin Xun inwardly shivered and immediately stopped. When he took a closer look, he discovered that the huge black shadow was a gigantic cauldron! The cauldron stood several dozen feet tall and was covered in mottled rust. Surrounded by swirling black mist, the cauldron appeared rather mysterious. Lin Xun deliberated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and walked forward. As he approached, he observed that the cauldron was severely corroded and looked as if it would fall apart at any moment. Some vague cloud patterns were barely visible on its surface, but it was impossible to discern the full picture. Nirvana law power swept forth again, emitting dao light that engulfed the giant cauldron. Lin Xun and the green sparrow were taken aback. Some understanding soon dawned upon them. The cauldron was likely branded with Netherworld secrets of the previous era! Sure enough, when the Nirvana law power withdrew moments later, ten Yama Halls had appeared in the Netherworld of the law power world! Each Yama Hall sported a different style and plaques hung from their entrances. They were: King Qinguang Hall, King Chujiang Hall, King Songdi Hall, King Wuguan Hall, King Yanluo Hall, King Biancheng Hall, King Taishan Hall, King Dushi Hall, King Pingdeng Hall, and King Zhuanlun Hall. [1]">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diyu[/ref] As the Ten Halls of Yama appeared, Lin Xun also noticed that one of the nine Netherworld runes had become clear and complete! When his spirit sense reached in, mystical dao knowledge immediately flooded his mind. It was a divine and unfathomable Netherworld dao consisting of ten branches which were all related to punishment and killing. For example, the Mirror of Sin Dao wielded by the King Qinguang Hall could see the power of sin. When cultivated to the extreme, one’s dao power would coalesce into a strange pattern resembling a book of life and death. The Sea of Misery Dao wielded by the King Chujiang Hall was a type of punishment dao. When cultivated to the extreme, one could coalesce a Sea of Misery pattern. The Fire Illumination Dao wielded by King Songdi Hall was a type of suppression dao. When cultivated to the extreme, one could coalesce a mandala pattern. The other branches also had their own characteristics and abilities. Together, these ten dao powers formed the Ten Yama Dao. Lin Xun couldn't help but inwardly marvel at this knowledge. Compared to the Gate of Hell’s Soul Capturing Dao, the Ten Yama Dao from the Ten Yama Halls was undoubtedly far more complex. After all, each dao could display astonishing and mystical abilities. Lin Xun didn’t dare to imagine how incredible of an existence the previous epoch’s Netherworld was to be capable of wielding so many inconceivable dao powers! If it wasn't for the Nirvana law power’s reconstruction abilities that restored the Soul Capturing Dao and the Ten Yama Dao, he would never have realized these mysteries in his entire lifetime. "Another big haul?" muttered the green sparrow, seemingly a little jealous. From the Bridge of Forgetfulness, to the Gates of Hell, and now the cauldron, Lin Xun had clearly benefited each time. The green sparrow simply couldn’t remain calm at such luck. It had never heard of anyone who could repeatedly strike the jackpot in Gathering Underworld like Lin Xun. However, the green sparrow knew that this was likely because of the mysterious law power in Lin Xun's Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron! That law power was simply unbelievable. It could rebuild law power that should have been destroyed in the previous epoch, allowing it to be reborn in the present! It was also because the green sparrow couldn’t know how much Lin Xun had benefited that made it irrationally vexed and envious. Lin Xun sighed and said, "It's really nothing much, I’m just not quite able to wrap my mind around it." He had indeed not expected to obtain the Ten Yama Dao from the previous epoch before they could even encounter the extinguishing law fire. The green sparrow said, "You should quit while you’re ahead. Let’s hurry up and leave this place." Lin Xun studied the mottled cauldron as he casually said, "What do you think is inside this cauldron?" The green sparrow was stunned. Lin Xun had already risen into the air. He flew above the cauldron and looked down. Although he had restrained his aura and was as careful as possible, he still gave off some slight power fluctuations when he rose into the air. A surge of terrifying destructive aura was abruptly released from the cauldron as if it had been startled. The corroded cauldron exploded, unleashing blindingly bright black flames. With a bang, Lin Xun was sent flying. Intense pain wrecked his body, and even his skin and hair felt as if they were being burned. He couldn't help but be horrified. Given his current cultivation level, it had been a long time since he had been put in such a sorry state. In the distance, a long stream of flames rushed into the sky like a divine chain, releasing endless light. The searing torrent of destruction evaporated the nearby black mist and heated the surrounding space until it began to turn bright red! "Extinguishing law fire!" exclaimed the green sparrow. Lin Xun's heart violently shuddered. So this was the terrifying fire that could easily kill an Ancestor! Without giving him any time to think, the law fire fiercely lashed at him like a crazy divine whip. Flames filled the sky, burning everything wherever they passed. It felt as if everything was being burned into extinction. The destructive aura was so horrifying that even Lin Xun’s expression involuntarily changed. Without hesitation, he turned and fled. Lin Xun had originally planned to use the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron’s power to suppress some extinguishing law fire. However, he immediately gave up when he saw this scene. That power was simply too terrifying. He felt that even a tiny wisp of it could instantly burn him to ashes! Lin Xun’s heart suddenly jumped as he instinctively dodged to the side. A wisp of extinguishing law fire suddenly sprung up in the direction he had been fleeing as if it had been waiting there all along. If he hadn’t moved in time, he would have likely crashed into it. Lin Xun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This fire was far too bizarre. He didn't dare to linger a second longer and continued to flee. However, his expression turned ugly a split second later. It was because the area originally covered in black mist was now surrounded by extinguishing law flames! Each flame seemed different from another. Some were as thick as pythons and shone brightly as they illuminated the surroundings, while others were as slender as sword qi, flickering erratically as they swam around in the air. Regardless of form, the extinguishing law flames seemed alive and aware as they formed a giant circle of fire to surround Lin Xun. To make things worse, the circle was rapidly shrinking and closing in! It truly felt like even heaven and hell had closed their doors, leaving no way out and making it impossible to avoid the flames. "We’re finished...," the green sparrow said in a despairing voice, "If only you listened to me earlier..." Lin Xun had no attention to spare for the green sparrow at the moment. He took a deep breath and became completely calm instead of panicking. He abruptly charged towards a slender sword-qi-like law power flame, which strangely flickered and vanished into thin air. Delighted, Lin Xun immediately tried to escape the encirclement. However, the joy on his face froze a moment later. It was because thousands of law power flames appeared in his path, each slender as sword qi as they shone with blinding light. To make things worse, various other types of law power flames were aggressively approaching from other directions. The flames seemed to gather into a torrential tsunami of fire, incinerating heaven and earth wherever they passed. Lin Xun gritted his teeth, summoned the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, and charged straight ahead. A wave terrifying destructive force unfurled when the first sword-qi-like law power fire collided with the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron, nearly causing him to cough blood. He couldn’t care less about such things at the moment. Instead, he desperately circulated his power to its limit in order to neutralize the law flame’s power. However, numerous law flames were already rapidly swarming towards him from the front. Deafening explosions resounded across the skies, each collision accompanied by a horrifying eruption of flames. The Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron buzzed and trembled violently. Despite using every last bit of his cultivation, the rapid barrage made Lin Xun’s face pale as he repeatedly coughed blood. The most terrifying part, however, was that the flames behind him were now arriving... Any other cultivator would despair at this point. At this critical juncture, Lin Xun activated Time Stopping with a sudden roar. In an instant, heaven and the earth froze as if time had stopped. Meanwhile, Lin Xun sent the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron plunging forward, breaking through the crowd of flames in his way. In that brief opening, he dashed forward.
