"Jie Jie, open it—finally, the gate of the Underworld is open!"
"Go in, go in now! Release all the evil spirits trapped inside!"
"Let the heavens and the world feel death and suffering! The era of Evil Gods has arrived!"
Many Evil Gods laughed maniacally as they swarmed toward the gate of the Underworld, entering the Serpent Path of the Underworld in an instant.
Boom~~
At that moment, above the Serpent Road, a terrifying aura belonging to a Chaos Demon God erupted, suppressing the surrounding time and space. The void trembled and buzzed under the overwhelming pressure.
Suddenly, a Demon Monkey wielding a golden staff appeared before the invading Evil Gods. It had three eyes that froze the flow of time and space. Around it swirled the laws of earth, wind, and a third indistinct Dao.
"Who the hell are you?! How dare you trespass into the Underworld! Do you not realize this is a capital offense?!"
The one who appeared was none other than the Three-Eyed Demon Monkey, exuding an emperor-level aura. The moment it arrived, it suppressed the chaotic time and space, causing countless Evil Gods to tremble.
"Hmph! Move aside. Let Fire Evil God handle this monkey!"
A figure condensed from black flames shouted arrogantly. It unleashed terrifying infernal flames, turning the surroundings into a boundless sea of fire that threatened to melt everything.
It launched a direct assault against the Three-Eyed Demon Monkey.
At the same time, dozens of ordinary Evil Gods joined the attack, surrounding the monkey, while others seized the opportunity to rush deeper into the Underworld through the Serpent Path.

Meanwhile, outside the Underworld, in the distant sunlit void...
"Strange. Why do I feel something is off with the Underworld?"
The Chaos Demon God Gloomy Cat, who had been sleeping in the dark void, suddenly opened its eyes. A dreadful light flickered in its pupils, sensing something ominous.
Blessed with the sixth sense of a Chaos Demon God, it felt a deep premonition of crisis—one that could only be caused by someone at the level of a God Emperor. Though not as precise as the Great Prophecy, it was enough to detect danger.
"I need to contact the monkey, the pig, and the three-headed dog… Wait—who's there?! Show yourself immediately!"
The Gloomy Cat narrowed its eyes and prepared to leave.
Rumble~~
Suddenly, boundless darkness surged from all directions, transforming the area into a dark world that devoured even sunlight, like a cosmic black hole.
This darkness radiated corruption, evil, and devouring energy. Anything consumed by it would vanish completely, leaving not even bones behind.
"Who are you?! How dare you try to ambush me, the Gloomy Cat?! You have guts."
The Gloomy Cat glared into the abyss. As the master of darkness, nothing in this realm could escape its perception.
"As expected of the legendary Chaos Demon God Gloomy Cat, one who roams freely in the Dark Realm of the my Darkness Evil God. It's only fitting that I face you myself."
A shadowy figure emerged, cloaked in endless darkness—it was none other than the Darkness Evil God, radiating immense power of darkness and devouring energy.
Dozens of Evil Gods appeared beside it.
"So it's you filthy Evil Gods. Didn't you used to hide like cowards in the shadows? Now you dare show yourselves openly. You've become bold."
The Gloomy Cat sneered at the Darkness Evil God. "And judging by your efforts, it seems you're no longer hiding your strength. Let me guess—you're planning to break into the Underworld and unleash the evil spirits imprisoned there?"
"The fear they spread would naturally fuel your power. That's how you Evil Gods grow stronger."
Its eyes glinted with sudden realization.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the clever cat—one of the Four Great Chaos Demon Gods of the Underworld. We didn't even explain our plan, yet you figured it out. Now we definitely can't let you leave."
The Darkness Evil God's divine will surged.
"Trying to stop me? Do you have the power to back it up?"
The Gloomy Cat scoffed.
"Try me. I don't need to defeat you—only trap you. Escaping the grasp of the Darkness Evil God? That's just a fantasy."
With a sinister grin, the Darkness Evil God summoned waves of darkness. It transformed into black skeletons that surged toward the Gloomy Cat like a tide.
"Hmph, foolish Evil God."
The Gloomy Cat sneered. Its form shimmered and vanished, merging into the darkness itself, leaving behind no trace of its presence.
Elsewhere, deep within the Underworld, many gods had descended to serve as guardians.
"Who are you intruders?! Do you wish to be thrown into the eternal hell?!"
The Chaos Demon God Vajra Demon Pig roared, wielding a massive nine-toothed rake. Towering like Mount Buzhou, its skin radiated the indestructible power of Vajra.
After countless years training in the Underworld, it had reached the realm of the God Emperor.
Constantly battling evil spirits, its body had been tempered into an indestructible fortress. No spell, supernatural power, or sword could harm it.
It had become known as the Underworld's Final Vajra Bastion—even besieged by many gods, none could break its defense.
"As expected of the Underworld's final guardian. With skin like Vajra, not even our combined strength could wound it. What a terrifying Chaos Demon God."
"Luckily, we've studied its behavior in advance. Otherwise, we would stand no chance."
"And this time, we're not here to fight—but to trap."
"Begin! Prison Evil God, now's your time to shine!"
The Evil Gods gave the signal.
Rumble~~
In the next instant, black mist surged from all directions, forming an impenetrable cage of dark energy that instantly enveloped the Vajra Demon Pig.
"What?!"
The Vajra Demon Pig's expression changed. It could sense the sealing power binding it from all sides.
"Hurry! I can only hold it for ten minutes! After that, we'll be at the mercy of fate!"
shouted the voice of the Prison Evil God.
"Ten minutes is all we need!"
the Evil Gods responded in unison.
