When the Kami fell from Tengoku, Fu Leng landed in the Shadowlands, in a place which would be known as the Festering Pit of Fu Leng, [3] but he smashed through its substance, tearing open a hole between the Mortal Realm and Jigoku. He kept falling, finally coming to rest deep in the Realm of Evil. [3:1] A dark flame of jelousy and resentment burned within Fu Leng's heart, a beacon to the evil powers imprisoned within the underworld. This caused the Kings of Hell to lose control over their wards. [4] In his wake, corrupting power oozed from the hole he had sundered, relentlessly afflicting the Mortal Realm around it with a malign contamination. Monstrous things crawled out of Jigoku and into the Mortal Realm. [3:2]
It might be that the malign powers in Jigoku sought to enslave Fu Leng, but he was a divine being. This allowed him power over Jigoku in turn, resulting in a malevolent and supremely dangerous symbiosis. [3:3] Fu Leng's followers are goblins, ogres, undead, and legendary demons known as oni.
