Lord of the Underworld: I Subdue the Netherworld with Taoist Arts

Folklore student Zhang Mo unexpectedly obtained the Underworld Lord's supreme treasure. He died saving a child, and his soul awakened in the underworld. There, he discovered a rotten system rife with trades in the years allotted to the dead, where ghost guards tortured souls at will. With the Underworld Lord's legacy, he devoured evil spirits, commanded ghost soldiers, and created his own fusion of Daoism and ghost arts. From a wandering soul on the road to the Yellow Springs, he fought his way through the Eighteen Levels of Hell, subdued the Judge, and challenged the Ten Kings of Hell!

His body in the mortal world was still alive, but he had become a vegetable, and a cult had planted a soul-devouring parasite in him. Zhang Mo split his soul between two worlds, restoring order in the underworld while investigating a conspiracy in the mortal realm. Standing atop Fengdu City with the Underworld Lord's seal in hand, facing a million ghost soldiers, he finally understood: true invincibility came not from power, but from the courage to break the boundary between yin and yang!
