Chapter 314: Delivering Oneself to the Doorstep_2
For these supernatural beings, the opportunity to escape from the dark and sunless kingdom of Hell was undoubtedly a huge opportunity, one worth fighting for with their lives.
The source of all this was the 10th Hall Yama, who had managed the kingdom of Hell for countless years.
The 10th Hall Yama attempted to invade the Primal Chaos Realm by extending a tributary of Hell, trying to transform the Primal Chaos Realm into a part of the Netherworld.
But ultimately, the tributary of Hell was still too weak, and Yomotsu Hirasaka was far from able to bear the arrival of the 10th Hall Yama, even just an avatar could not break through the world barrier's restriction.
In such a case, the 10th Hall Yama could only dispatch subordinates to manage all of Hell's spirits and demons.
The true manager of Hell's tributary was the Judge of Life and Death under Qinguang King, who had ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Within the broken reality and elusive barriers, the surging tributary of Hell faintly revealed a statue clad in official attire, its left hand holding the life and death book, right hand wielding the Judge's pen, its eyes filled with authority as if it could see through all of Hell specters' past and present lives.
"Such panic over a trivial matter, what a disgrace!"
The Judge of Life and Death spoke indifferently.
"The gods of Ying Island are ignorant, believing that cutting off the projection of Hell's tributary could stop its manifestation in this world.
How could they understand that the projection of Hell's tributary is but a lure being cast down, even if severed, it cannot alter the grand scheme!"
As the voice of the Judge of Life and Death echoed, countless spirits and demons within the surging waters of Hell echoed in agreement.
"Lord Judge is right!"
"With Lord Judge here, the entire Ying Island Divine System can be obliterated with a flick of a finger."
"It is nothing more than a dying struggle, not worth our concern." Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Even the most ferocious and unyielding supernatural beings could only curb their arrogance in front of the Judge of Life and Death.
This was not only because the judge possessed the immense strength of the Heavenly Immortal Realm but more importantly, the Judge of Life and Death, sanctioned by Qinguang King, held the power over all of Hell's spirits and demons present, able to decide their fate with a single word.
These Hell specters did not fear death, but they did fear being sent back to the dark, sunless kingdom of Hell, and naturally, they could only choose to ingratiate themselves with the Judge of Life and Death.
Without regard for the responses of the Hell specters, the Judge of Life and Death turned his gaze to one of the many spirits and demons, his voice turning cold as he said:
"However! Severing so many projections of Hell's tributary is a provocation against the kingdom of Hell, and the Ying Island Divine System must pay the price for their arrogance."
"127 tributaries of Hell's projections have been severed in succession, where was the first projection cut?"
The spirit that caught the Judge of Life and Death's attention was jolted, hastily holding up a scroll and flipping through it before answering:
"Reporting to Lord Judge of Life and Death, the first severed projection of Hell's tributary originated from Luliang District.
Two hours ago, the Ghost Warrior Great Ghost King personally went to the battlefield trying to break through the defensive line at Luliang City."
The Judge of Life and Death turned his head, his body stiff like that of a statue, and nodded.
"Open the projection of Hell's tributary, send Hell specters to wash Luliang City in blood and deter the Ying Island Divine System!"
"I want them to know that if Yomotsu Hirasaka desires it, any city in the domain of Ying Island can be obliterated, even Amaterasu Omikami can't stop it!"
Amidst this proclamation, the Yomotsu Hirasaka issued a violent roar, the endlessly surging river suddenly extending a phantom projection, heading straight towards the Primal Chaos Realm.
Millions of low-rank ghosts, over a hundred ghost kings, and a full ten spirits and demons of the Void Refinement Realm stepped into this projection, falling towards the region where Luliang City was situated.
...
Noro Mai and Bai Zhao were still immersed in the shock of Shen Yuan's terrifying display of power.
Especially Bai Zhao, who, although he did not have the legacy memories as the reincarnation of a Demon Saint, still had some understanding of higher-order beings.
He was certain that the Sky-Obscuring Giant Hand that had crossed hundreds of spatial passages was not Divine Arts but a manifestation of the Great Dao.
This level of the Dao was so high that even the Tao Harmony Demon Saint could not come close to it.
Bai Zhao couldn't even be sure whether the Demon Saint Bai Ze at his peak a thousand years ago had the power to replicate that terrifying strike.
And this, despite the suppression of the cosmos and the Supreme Taoist having not yet reached his Peak Stage.
At this moment, Bai Zhao truly realized what the title of Supreme Taoist represented.
In the records about the Supreme Taoist, the phrase 'dominating an era' didn't seem to refer to peers, but truly an entire age.
"Venerable Taoist, you..."
Before the words even finished, a blood-colored thunder suddenly exploded above in the sky, and in a blink, massive swathes of space shattered, as though the heavens themselves had been completely torn apart.
Within that broken space, a yellow river surged forth and projected itself upon the firmament.
"A projection of Hell's tributary!"
"Wasn't it completely severed by the Venerable Taoist? Why has it appeared again?"
The reaction of Hell's supernatural beings far exceeded the expectations of Bai Zhao and the others, and the projection of Hell reflected on the firmament was something unheard of, its vastness comparable only to the legendary battle at Pingan Capital.
Within the projection of Hell's tributary in the sky, an immense number of specters poured down like torrential rain on Luliang City, including the presence of a great many Spirit Refining Ghost Kings.
At the very top, ten colossal Void Refining spirits and demons pressed down with their auras unrestrained, their powerful ghost energy swirling around them, like ten dark suns suspended in the heavens.
"No good! It's reinforcements from Hell!"
Panic shone in Noro Mai's eyes.
In her view, Shen Yuan's single strike which annihilated over a hundred projections of Hell's tributaries must have taken a massive toll, and facing five Void Refining spirits and demons and over a hundred ghost kings of Hell now might lead to disaster.
Shen Yuan was the only hope for the salvation of Ying Island, and even at the sacrifice of her own life, she wouldn't allow Shen Yuan to be threatened.
Noro Mai clenched her teeth, and a decision was already made in her heart.
She would burn her Spirit Soul to invoke Amaterasu Omikami to descend and help Shen Yuan eradicate these reinforcements from Hell.
At this moment, however, Shen Yuan was looking interestedly at the specters that nearly filled the sky from Hell.
"To think there would be those delivering themselves to my doorstep?"
In his voice, there was a hint of surprise.
"Since you enjoy flying in the sky so much, there's no need to come down."
Heavenly General Great Divine Power – Heaven Patching Sun Drenching!
In an instant, the Great Sun, originally obscured by the projection of Hell, suddenly expanded and began to unleash immeasurable brilliance.
As though the Great Sun Emperor himself was on an excursion, his radiance illuminated the ten directions of all realms.
Countless Hell specters under the burning of the Great Sun turned to ash, and over a hundred Ghost Kings melted away like snow.
Those Void Refining spirits and demons that resembled ten black suns attempted to flee, yet the devastating Great Sun seemed to transcend the limitations of this world, engulfing them completely.
Piercing shrieks echoed through heaven and earth, yet how could mere Void Refining spirits and demons contend against the might of the Sun Star?
Under the scorching sun, all shadows and evil spirits were turned to dust.
Even the projection of Hell's tributary itself was swallowed up by the ever-expanding Great Sun, and the encroachment spreading to our world ceased at that moment.
Inside Yomotsu Hirasaka, numerous supernatural beings watched the direction of the Hell's tributary projection, their eyes full of anticipation.
Previously, to deceive Sky High Plateau, the slaughter by Hell's supernatural beings was restrained to a certain degree, creating the illusion of a barely sustained stalemate.
Now, with the decree from the Judge of Life and Death, stirring up an unprecedented slaughter in Luliang District to intimidate Ying Island, the supernatural beings of Hell were overflowing with anticipation.
Even the Judge of Life and Death set his gaze on the projection of Hell's tributary.
The next moment, a faint light pierced through the projection and descended into Yomotsu Hirasaka.
"Light?"
"Where is this light coming from?"
Just as the bewildered voices arose, the dazzling Great Sun engulfed the projection of Hell's tributary, and a brilliant Great Sun manifested within Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Under the boundless radiance, countless low-rank ghosts not yet aware of the Great Sun's arrival turned to ash.
The land cracked, the tributary of Hell evaporated continuously, and the murky, ceaseless river, as if encountering its natural enemy, could no longer display the might that once dominated billions of supernatural beings.
Beneath the Great Sun, Hell was subdued!
