Chapter 410 The Souls of Countless Powerful Individuals

In the incomplete and fragmented Yellow Springs Hell.

Countless black remnant souls, their eyes glowing red, violently assaulted Luo Ji, devoid of any intelligence.

With the underworld no longer existing and the cycle of reincarnation collapsing, countless souls are unable to reincarnate and can only be gradually worn away by the Yellow Springs Hell over endless time, enduring endless pain, and finally dissolving into fragments of their souls, returning to the world and dissipating back to the human realm.

The suffering endured by the soul during this period was more excruciating than that of the eighteen levels of hell.

After all, even those who fall into the eighteen levels of hell have a sentence, but the unpredictable passage of time is even more painful.

This caused both the old and new souls in the underworld to become incredibly violent and bloodthirsty, filled with resentment and lamentation.

Brook was able to maintain his conscious soul and return to the world to live another life thanks to the protection of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit).

Other souls who enter the underworld can only endure endless torment.

Or perhaps a thousand years, or even one or two world eras.

The greater one's strength, the longer it takes for their soul to be obliterated, and the more pain they endure.

If the rules of death were perfected and the cycle of reincarnation were complete, all souls could be reincarnated.

Even if one has committed countless sins in life, after enduring the punishment of the eighteen levels of hell, one can still enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Even the animal realm of the six realms can be considered a form of reincarnation.

If you want to be reborn as a human in your next life, or even as a celestial being with the qualifications to become a god, you must do good deeds and make various contributions to this world.

···

In the broken hell, there exist countless souls, densely packed like an ant colony.

As the blood moon descended, someone opened a rift in hell.

Countless remnant souls, having endured endless suffering, surged toward the rift one after another.

Souls without intelligence only want to escape the hell of suffering and return to the human world.

Even if going to the human world means dying suddenly, it's still more comfortable than the painful death of having one's soul slowly torn apart in the underworld.

To die a quick and painless death is also a kind of happiness.

Luo Ji saw countless souls from different eras, many of whom were wearing the clothes they wore before they died, a kind of obsession with their last memories before death.

"Having survived being dissolved for hundreds or thousands of years, it must have endured a great deal of torment."

Luo Ji's dark giant hand pressed down on the soul of a massive ancient giant.

The ancient giant's animal skin was very old, and his soul had become transparent.

But Luo Ji felt that his strength during his lifetime must have been incredibly powerful, comparable to a candidate for godhood.

Rest in peace!

Luo Ji crushed the mindless soul of the beast, whose eyes were bloodshot and who resembled a wild animal.

But as the ancient giant's soul dissipated, Luo Ji clearly saw a look of relief and comfort on his face.

This deeply moved Luo Ji.

This strengthened his resolve to rebuild the cycle of reincarnation.

Although his initial intention was to gain a stronger power of death in order to fight against the three ancient gods.

But while gaining power, we should also help build a better world.

This can be seen as a powerful manifestation of Luo Ji's flexible moral bottom line.

Seeing that the powerful ancient giant was freed, countless ancient and powerful souls instinctively rushed towards Luo Ji, perhaps to kill him, or perhaps to find release through his hands.

"What is this! Are they all courting death?"

"How torturous and painful it must be to be stuck in the Yellow Springs Hell where the six realms no longer exist."

"The three gods, you are indeed somewhat useless in controlling this world."

Luo Ji unleashed his god-level Conqueror's Haki, recklessly using the power of darkness, shadow, and karmic fire to cleanse all the violent souls that were attacking him.

"Power of Death, are you even in the underworld or hell?"

"If you possess the will of heaven and earth, then hurry up and come out to reorganize the Three Realms and Six Paths with me!"

Luo Ji relentlessly charged deeper into the underworld, aimlessly.

But soon.

He was surprised to find many familiar faces.

These were actually a large number of powerful individuals who died in the G1 War, including pirates, marines, and revolutionaries...

Some powerful souls stood out from the crowd, attracting Luo Ji's attention.

It turned out to be Whitebeard, Big Mom, Shanks, Rayleigh, Sengoku the Buddha, Garp, the Five Elders, the Knight of God... these are all spirit forms.

But at this moment, even these great figures who were once powerful and influential in the human world, without the protection of the Yomi Yomi no Mi's power, still became mindless and violent souls, wandering around and suffering the torment of the Yomi Yomi hell.

Most of the white souls have turned into black, tyrannical souls.

Luo Ji had done some preliminary observation.

For a powerful being who has reached the Emperor level, their soul may need to naturally decay for hundreds or thousands of years before it finally dissipates.

That means their souls will be torn apart and their spirits ripped out for nearly a thousand years.

Damn, how painful that must be!

This is pure torture.

The stronger one is in life, the longer one suffers after death; this is the punishment for the non-existence of the six realms in this world.

Moreover, the souls in the Broken Yellow Springs Hell have no laws to devour and become stronger; they can only wait to die!

"Even that ancient giant wasn't destroyed, so doesn't that mean Roger and Rocks' souls are still here?"

Luo Ji attempted to use his special scroll to imprison the souls of Whitebeard and Sengoku the Buddha inside.

If the Six Paths were rebuilt, these guys might become officials of Hell.

Despite the roars and struggles of these souls, Luo Ji actually managed to lock them inside.

This surprised Luo Ji.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to imprison the souls of Shanks, Garp, and the Five Elders separately as well.

"Once I find a way to devour souls and become stronger, it will be a great tonic!"

Luo Ji actually treated these powerful souls as food to become stronger.

If the outside world finds out, I wonder how much fear it will cause.

In particular, Luo Ji didn't even spare Dragon's old father, Garp.

With a plan in place, Luo Ji no longer indiscriminately slaughtered violent souls. He began to select powerful Emperor-level souls, and even pseudo-god-level souls, and imprison them for future use.

Luo Ji searches for the power of death while simultaneously capturing powerful souls.

He found Im, he found Rocks, he found Roger, he found the Twenty Kings, and he found the top warriors of various races...

At this moment, Luo Ji desperately wanted to obtain an ability similar to that of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

Having obtained so many powerful souls, and the desire to devour them and make them his own, truly made Luo Ji incredibly eager.

···

At this moment, we are outside the hellish rift.

"That soul was Jabba the Elder!!"

"Kozuki Oden?"

"Silver Axe? John?"

Barrett encountered a soul similar to Jabba's, Kaido of the Beasts met his old rival Kozuki Oden, and Red Earl also saw two familiar figures: Silver Axe and Captain John.

However, these former rivals are no longer their match.

Kaido of the Beasts once again defeated Kozuki Oden, first blasting Oden's soul to smithereens.

Yamato watched as her former idol was blasted to smithereens, feeling nothing at all. Now, she only had faith in her own man, Luo Ji.

"Is this really the underworld behind this crack? Are the souls of all those who died in the underworld?!"

Brook was shocked; he suddenly missed his Rumbar Pirates crewmates terribly.

Don't they know they're still in the underworld?

Or has it already been worn away into nothingness?
