The Netherworld has always been dominated by the reaper Lord.
When the reaper with [Great Divine Power] died, he was succeeded by the Buddha of 'Nether' among the Esoteric Gods.
The opponent sealed off the entire Netherworld, leaving only a few passages in the Material Plane.
For it is only during the trials of the Esoteric monks that they can utilize the Netherworld for immense gains!
And now, as Aaron watched the turning of the prayer wheel by the view of emptiness, he suddenly understood why the previous Legendary Thief had failed!
'The prayer wheel is the key; without the Buddha nature to set it in motion, stealing the key would be pointless!'
Just as he sighed, the ground suddenly cracked open!
A giant skeletal skull emerged, opening its huge mouth and snapping at the disciples!
Upon seeing this, a minority of the disciples panicked, while the rest remained composed, evidently being forewarned.
Aaron also stood still, allowing the giant bony beast to engulf him.
