Peerless Taoist

After observing his surroundings, Lu Yu immediately knew where he was.    

There wasn't a single trace of spiritual energy in the surroundings. Instead, there was a dense murderous aura that kept corroding his body.    

If any living being stepped into this place, they would gradually be affected by this murderous aura. In the end, they would lose their rationality and be enslaved by the Ancient Hell.    

"As I expected, the Ghost Emperor intends to swallow me into the Ancient Hell and then suppress me." Lu Yu muttered.    

He did not resist just now and allowed the Ghost Emperor to use any means to dig out more Cultivation Methods from the Ghost Emperor's body.    

Unlike Zhu Rong, what Lu Yu learned in his previous life was the inheritance of the Ghost Emperor. Both of their Cultivation Methods had the same origin. The reason why Lu Yu came back to find the Ghost Emperor was to have a ready-made teacher. It would be more beneficial to increase one's strength.    

"I have only seen the 18 layers of hell in the ancient records of inheritance. I have never truly experienced it. From the looks of it now, some of my previous thoughts were wrong. "    

Lu Yu did not panic at all. Instead, he began to carefully observe his surroundings.    

Before this, all of Lu Yu's impression of the ancient era had originated from the records in the ancient books.    

"These ghosts should be some living beings that suffered during the ancient era. During the great ancient tribulation, all living beings were annihilated, and even the Heavenly Court was destroyed. They were left with the Ghost Emperor's incarnation until now." Lu Yu scanned his surroundings.    

The clothes of these ghosts were obviously very different from the clothes of the people now. Lu Yu even saw the souls of some extinct ancient ferocious beasts.    

Due to Lu Yu's powerful pressure, these ghosts had an instinctive understanding of danger. They didn't dare to approach Lu Yu, so they could only wait for an opportunity from afar.    

Since the ancient era, countless ghosts were sent to hell every day. The number of ghosts here was basically uncountable.    

While Lu Yu was observing the scene of hell, a loud roar suddenly came from the depths of hell.    

Immediately after, a violent hurricane suddenly blew up from the horizon.    

Lu Yu's vision was very good. He could see that it was not an ordinary hurricane, but a sharp Knife Qi that was sweeping across the entire hell.    

Countless ghosts began to flee in all directions. However, the speed of the hurricane was very fast. In the blink of an eye, a group of ghosts fell.    

Puff! Pu! Puff!    

All the ghosts that were blown away by the hurricane seemed to have suffered a great amount of pain, and the sound of pain could be heard from all directions.    

There was no way to dodge this hurricane. Even some of the ghosts that were lying on the ground were unable to dodge it.    

Lu Yu stood where he was, closed his eyes, and did not move.    

When the hurricane blew past Lu Yu's body, he suddenly felt a sharp pain from the depths of his soul.    

Pain!    

It was as if his soul had been cut by someone. The pain was unbearable.    

If an ordinary person was cut in half at the waist, they would at most suffer for a period of time before gradually dying.    

However, the soul would not.    

This hurricane would not endanger one's life, but it would cause one to feel a heart-piercing pain that came from the depths of the soul.    

"This is a punishment left behind by the ancient hell for the ghosts here"    

Lu Yu silently felt this kind of pain. With a thought, he immediately repaired the soul cracks created by the hurricane.    

"Every time the soul breaks and repairs again, it will be stronger than before. According to the legends, once you enter hell, you will never be able to get out again. However, there should be a turning point here." Lu Yu muttered.
