Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 315: Sky High Plateau



The sun has always been the bane of ghost objects, and what's more, Shen Yuan invoked the Heaven Patching Sun Drenching technique to awaken the might of the Sun Star, taking this inhibiting effect to the extreme.

For every second the Great Sun existed within Yomotsu Hirasaka, countless evil demons perished in its radiance, turning to ash. The vaporizing of Hell's tributary revealed the dry riverbed, with Yomotsu Hirasaka itself teetering on the brink of collapse.

It's not that no powerful supernatural beings attempted to drive off this sun; some even at the Tao Harmony Stage tried to summon the dark Hell aura within Yomotsu Hirasaka to obscure the Great Sun, only to be met with what the sun saw as a challenge by Hell specters.

More intense sunlight fell upon the earth, turning that Unity Realm Stage supernatural being and the millions of ghost objects around him into dust.

However, Yomotsu Hirasaka is ultimately situated between reality and illusion, beyond the grasp of ordinary means.

It was only by chance that the Great Sun devoured a strong projection of Hell's tributary, becoming the medium for the sun to briefly manifest within Yomotsu Hirasaka for a quarter of an hour.

But even that seemingly brief moment dealt an indelible heavy blow to Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Powerful ghost objects above the rank of Ghost King might withstand the radiance of the sun's arrival, but the numberless low-rank Hell specters had no means of defense, with billions of Wandering Souls incinerated by the sunlight.

The Hell's tributary originating from the kingdom of Hell was massively evaporated, and the dark Hell aura within Yomotsu Hirasaka was utterly consumed by the sun, with many powerful ghost objects also suffering injuries of varying degrees.

But these issues could still be mended, with 10th Hall Yama presiding over the kingdom of Hell. Whether it was the missing low-rank ghost objects or the tributary itself, replenishment could be sought from within the kingdom of Hell, albeit at a higher cost.

The true impact of the sun's arrival lay in the blow to the morale of the Hell specters.

The Hell specters once conquered the Sky High Plateau gods in battle after battle, their tributary projections sprawling throughout Ying Island.

Even when their tributary projections were severed, the first reaction of all Hell specters wasn't fear, but to dispatch even more Hell specters into the mortal world.

For years, the series of sweeping victories had bolstered their morale, a seemingly unstoppable force ready to engulf the continent at any moment.

But just now, the deployment of a million ghost objects into Luliang District, along with hundreds of Ghost Kings and ten Void Refining spirits and demons, was instantly obliterated, and the sun's brief appearance in Yomotsu Hirasaka, the bastion of the Hell specters, annihilated millions of evil demons.

This was the biggest loss the ghost objects had suffered since the Hell scourge began.

Even Amaterasu Omikami, proclaimed as The Lord of the Gods Path on Ying Island, hadn't inflicted such damage on Yomotsu Hirasaka.

"Who is that?"

A hoarse voice arose amid the multitude of Hell specters, trembling with an ineffable fear.

"Is it the sun, could it be that the Great Sun which descended is the true form of Amaterasu Omikami?"

"Utterly ludicrous! While Amaterasu Omikami achieved her divine status with the Great Sun, it's but a minor sun within a small domain. Though there is an aspect of suppression, how could it shake Hell's tributary?"

"I once briefly skirmished with an incarnation of Amaterasu Omikami. Though she has reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm, the world has not fully awakened and is still under great suppression. She's not at a level where I can't contend with her.

More importantly, her true form is also within the confines of Sky High Plateau and could not possibly descend here."

"It's already quite rare for a Sun Deity to emerge from the Primal Chaos Realm; could it be that Ying Island harbors a second Sun Deity?"

...

With a lingering sense of trepidation, the spirits and demons speculated about the origin of that sun, with no one mentioning the attack on Luliang District again.

As the spirits and demons discussed fervently, a question suddenly arose amongst the crowd.

"What should we do if the other party uses this method again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the debating spirits and demons were plunged into a deadly silence.

They looked at each other, all too aware that with this brief encounter, more adverse domino effects would follow.

Using a projection of Hell's tributary as a medium, the Great Sun briefly entered Yomotsu Hirasaka and decimated countless Hell specters, a tactic that could likely be repeated.

Yomotsu Hirasaka would be at its limit with just one descent of the Great Sun; if it happened again, even the multitude of spirits and demons couldn't suppress the terror of the lower-ranking ghost objects.

This meant the Hell spirits and demons must always be wary of its recurrence.

A spirit guessed:

"Though the other party used Hell's tributary projection as a medium, the initial hundred-odd projections did not witness the arrival of the Great Sun.

This suggests that there may be some limitations, such as a need for a sizeable Hell's tributary projection to proceed."

No sooner had this been said than some spirits and demons disagreed.

"That may not necessarily be the case. It's possible that the Great Sun's arrival earlier was just a prelude, meant to lure out a larger Hell's tributary projection into the world as a fatal blow to Yomotsu Hirasaka."

"Whatever the case, Yomotsu Hirasaka can no longer withstand the threat of the Great Sun's arrival."

"We must reduce the size and scale of Hell's tributary projections, and keep them open for as short a time as possible.

Once the Hell specters have been dispatched, we must retract the tributary projection as quickly as possible."

"This means that we can no longer readily summon Hell's tributary projections, our erosion of Ying Island will be greatly slowed, and more importantly, this approach is only a stopgap measure, not a cure."
