322. Chapter 317 Who says the underworld has only one Yama King? The underworld's myriad fiends gather, full-scale appearance 【Seeking monthly votes】

One staff!

Shatter South Heaven!

Transform Spirit True Martial!

This is the Transform Spirit True Martial that Li Che has never managed to master; although he obtained this martial art, he has not yet mastered it.

After all, it is the Transform Spirit True Martial, which can be understood as a martial art that directly skips the entry, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, and master stages!

Directly rivals the top-tier divine-seed martial art of the Transform Realm!

Such martial art's difficulty is unquestionable; even Li Che, possessing the 【Dragon Elephant Golden Body】 Dao Fruit, such peerless horizontal cultivation martial aid, cannot instantly master it in a short time.

But this time, Li Che donned the black-and-white divided Yama King's mask.

He activated five Mysterious Gate divine seeds, and again used five temple-god divinity chess pieces……

That is the 【Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Two-Heart Great Sage Temple God】; when using this temple god's power, Li Che's immensely strong body almost naturally succeeded, in an instant, as if he had successfully comprehended this divine-seed martial art!

Therefore, at this moment, it is fully unleashed!

Shatter South Heaven!

Boom——!!!

A staff strike is issued, the long staff trembles, heaven and earth time and space seem to fall into stillness.

Wind and clouds cease, the drifting dust between heaven and earth seem to congeal motionless, even the torrential rain falling from the firmament, each droplet seems to hang suspended in midair.

Throughout the entire Qianyuan Dao City.

Hundreds to thousands of cultivators, martial artists, and divine cultivators, only at this moment felt an indescribable fluctuation, rapidly spreading outward.

As if thoroughly suppressing and sealing everyone within it!

Whooo——

By the ears, only the sound of the staff striking and exploding space remains.

Everyone could hardly even twitch, their pupils reflecting the moment Su Lei Bao was blown apart, as if a door appeared.

And that door was fiercely smashed by an extremely terrifying divine rod, red-hot like a branding iron!

Earth shakes, mountains tremble, the heavens roar!

As if the cloud empress detonated a summer firmament, countless black cloud empresses piled up violent thunderbolts!

Ferocious flashing nets envelop the firmament!

At the moment the accident occurred, almost no one had time to react.

The guardian before Li Che, Fang Hanshu in a scholar's robe, his magnificent beard wildly whipping, his pupils suddenly constricted, he stared fixedly at the past incarnation of the Yellow-Browed Great Dharma Master.

Then he saw his past self, as if struck by a terrifying staff that broke through space, as if probing out from another world, which fiercely smashed him!

That staff appeared extremely slow, yet actually surpassed all worldly limits in speed, as if darting out from another world.

Unyielding, too fast!

Basically……

Undefendable!

Within that staff, there seemed to be endless staff shadows, magnificent and grand, vast and mighty!

Many cultivators, as if within that staff, saw a towering, magnificent gate, which domineeringly loomed above the cloud firmament, with countless immortals shuttling through it.

This is the gate of the heavenly celestial court!

Such a gate……

Yet it was struck fiercely by that crimson iron staff, as if extended from another world……

Shatter-explode!

Shatter!

Annihilate!!!

One staff!

Shatter the Immortal Pavilion Gate!

Boom——!!!

The past incarnation of the Yellow-Browed Great Dharma Master took a heavy staff blow, utterly unable to dodge, at such close range, under such terrifying explosion——

Instantly, a extremely ferocious crack appeared on the surface of the Sacred Hand Divine Eagle!

Immense divine power surged wildly from the shattered crack, pouring out between heaven and earth.

Like a deflated balloon, rapidly venting!

As if seven-colored rosy light burst forth, with countless Buddha-light shining!

Bang——!!!

The terrifying explosion directly detonated in the midair above Qianyuan Dao City!

Buddha-light and the immensely powerful qi-blood staff shadow rampaged and collided!

Above the Dao City, the rampaging, spreading collision aftermath resembled a great wave rolling back, returning against the flow!

The explosion's mighty waves spread thousands of zhang, like a mushroom cloud blooming in midair, surging upward, charging into the cloud heavens, blasting forth thousand-layered cloud waves!

Countless torrents of rain were directly hissed away by evaporation!

The scene's grandeur could be clearly seen within a hundred-li radius!

Whooo——

The great wave's savage wind ravaged and struck, blowing the garments of all spectators in Qianyuan Dao City; many could not even steady their bodies, being blown about, tumbling and crawling.

Fang Hanshu diffused his qi, protecting Li Che.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the clash between Gongshu Jingjun, Tang Xiejia, and Wu Gang ceased colliding, each withdrawing.

Wu Gang trembled all over, a burly martial monk like an ox, his eyes bloodshot.

When Huang Tuo escaped from the Underworld's Ink City, Wu Gang breathed a sigh of relief, grateful for Master Huang Tuo's safe escape.

But the next moment, when Huang Tuo unleashed a terrifying blade technique and intent to ambush the past incarnation of Great Dharma Master Huang Mei, Wu Gang was utterly dumbfounded.

And then, a terrifying staff shadow smashed out from another world, cracking the past incarnation of Great Dharma Master Huang Mei…

This staff strike shattered not only the past incarnation of Great Dharma Master Huang Mei.

But also the hope that Wu Gang had risen up!

Wu Gang fell into utter despair.

He knew…

We're doomed!

"Underworld… Yama!!!"

Wu Gang's voice turned hoarse as he roared.

Only the Underworld Yama, only the Underworld Yama could do such a thing!

The Sui Xin Golden Iron Divine Staff fell into the hands of the Underworld Divine Monkey, grasped by the Underworld Yama, used to erupt in slaughter—this can be understood.

After all, given the Divine Monkey's strength, it still cannot fully unleash the explosive power of the Sui Xin Golden Iron Divine Staff.

But the Underworld Yama can!

"Such terrifying qi and blood, as if continuously breaking through the five shackles of the mortal flesh… becoming like a deity!"

This is the Underworld Yama!

In the mushroom cloud rising from the explosion.

Yet one saw a cracked apparition, the Holy Hand Divine Eagle, its divinity constantly leaking, shooting upward, as if a long-browed face kept twisting, as if a conscious Buddha-nature writhed and twisted.

"Good."

Suddenly.

A faint cheer echoed from the firmament above.

The next moment, a splendid humming sound burst forth.

Then—

Hummm—

An ultimate splendid sword light, like wind, like water, like qi, like a falling meteor, devoid of killing intent, seeming utterly blunt, poured down from the firmament above!

However…

Yet this single sword, wherever its light passed, revealed a terror never seen before!

Where the sword light passed, everything seemed to turn into nothingness!

Whether raindrops, airflow, light, or dust!

All matter, whether tangible or intangible, beneath this sword, was annihilated!

This sword!

Truly akin to a sword immortal earnestly striking down a blow!

At this moment, the past incarnation of Great Dharma Master Huang Mei was sliced by the sword light; the already shattered Holy Hand Divine Eagle exploded completely into fragments!

"Ah——!!!"

"Lu Taibai!!!"

The roar erupted from the exploding divine eagle, boundless Buddha-light twisting and rising, as if a golden Buddha radiating endless cold light appeared between heaven and earth, glaring fiercely at the hunter-king assassin who stepped forth on the sword light beyond the clouds.

Everyone knows this hunter-king assassin is Lu Taibai.

But at this moment, only the Great Dharma Master Huang Mei whose past incarnation was annihilated dares to truly shout his name.

The Buddha-light began to wither under the sword light's abrasion.

Finally…

It seemed to collapse completely.

Lu Taibai stepped on the sword light and fell, clenched his five fingers, gathering every fragment of the exploded past incarnation of Great Dharma Master Huang Mei's divine eagle, each piece seized and finally forming a pile of divine eagle fragments.

These are fragments of a Holy Hand Divine Eagle!

Undoubtedly, they are extremely precious!

At this moment, Lu Taibai abandoned targeting the heavenly incarnation of Ji Moli above the firmament, and also sought to pick up these wooden carving fragments.

Because Lu Taibai knows what significance these divine eagle fragments hold for the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Because Li Che now is a half-sage of the divine eagle…

In the future, to advance to Holy Hand of the divine eagle, one naturally needs a Holy Hand Divine Eagle to comprehend!

If another half-sage of the divine eagle lacked guidance from a Holy Hand, attempting to break through via a Holy Hand Divine Eagle would be impossible.

But Lu Taibai feels that, given Li Che's divine eagle talent, perhaps he could manage it.

This is mutual sympathy and trust between geniuses.

Just as Lu Taibai himself is a sword Dao heaven's pride, he believes Li Che, this heaven's pride of the divine eagle path… will surely be able to do it!

Therefore, from the start, Lu Taibai never intended to let Huang Mei's past incarnation leave Qian Yuan Dao City.

Since discovering Huang Tuo carrying Huang Mei's past incarnation, Lu Taibai has had his eye on it!

However, Lu Taibai thought that since he had made a move, he might as well maximize the benefit.

Thus, he forced out Ji Moli's heavenly incarnation, and also planned to force out the Dao Master Yue Huanglong who wished to deal with him.

Unfortunately, Yue Huanglong didn't take the bait…

Given that, Lu Taibai, allied with the Underworld, no longer hides his edge.

The moment the sword's edge revealed its sharpness, it stunned the whole world!

Afterwards, he returned——

The vast sword intent, like a heavenly sword piercing the clouds, continued to rise, piercing the pervasive leaden clouds, revealing the night sky of myriad stars.

Starlight glittered, the Milky Way flowed, as if the sky had been washed by rain—extremely clean!

Boom——

Mo City stretched across the heavens and earth.

The black-and-white masked King of Hell sat cross-legged atop Mo City's city wall.

The Willful Gold-Iron Divine Staff was thrown to the Divine Monkey, who grasped it firmly.

Besides the Divine Monkey, there were the tall and sturdy Ox Demon like a pagoda mountain; the Horse Face shouldering a staff crackling with lightning arcs; the Thunder Dragon surrounded by wind and lightning; the Black and White Impermanence; the Drunken Sword Immortal with a wine gourd at his waist; and the Demon Python covered in golden armor, holding a twelve-foot serpent spear at an angle……

One by one, the renowned underworld fiends who had displayed their might within Qianyan Dao City all stood upon Mo City's city tower.

And that city tower was the most important.

The King of Hell wearing the black-and-white star mask, with five constantly spinning divine-seed Qimen vortices behind him, gradually returned to calm.

The detonated divine-seed Qimen, under everyone's gaze……

It actually recovered completely unharmed!

At this moment……

Even beneath Lü Taibai's Hunter King mask, he couldn't help but reveal a look of shock and despair.

How could this be possible?

He could actually detonate the five divine-seed Qimen……

Achieving such effortless control?!

This is detonating a divine seed……

Are you just opening a sluice to release water?!

This underworld……

Not only that.

Moreover, that move of the King of Hell that gravely wounded Huang Mei's past self……

It seemed to be the Divine Transformation True Martial!

However, for Lü Taibai, the Divine Transformation True Martial was not important; what mattered was……another technique employed by the King of Hell!

It seemed to slash across from another world!

The technique that directly gravely wounded Huang Mei's past self!

«Netherworld…»

Beneath Lü Taibai's mask, his eyes glittered, just as Huang Mei's had been then, as he murmured the two words.

Netherworld……

This world……

Does the netherworld truly exist?!

The entire Qianyan Dao City fell into dead silence.

Everyone looked in disbelief at the array of underworld fiends upon the black-colored city!

This is the first time……

The underworld fiends, in such a tangible form, all appeared before everyone's eyes!

Huh?

But……something seemed to be missing.

However, most people didn't think about it, didn't care.

«King of Hell…»

«Thank you. »

Lü Taibai, wearing the Hunter King Assassin mask, smiled and clasped his fists.

The King of Hell standing atop Mo City's city tower, his black robe fluttering, his black-and-white eyes deep as the starry sky, did not speak, merely nodding slightly.

Then……

Amidst everyone's shocked and despairing gaze.

The underworld fiends……

Together with that black-colored city, they completely vanished between heaven and earth.

Clatter clatter——

The oppressive, suffocating qi instantly vanished.

The torrential rain continued to fall, that meltwater from the snow, washing over the entire city.

It also washed away the battle that had just taken place.

High above……

The Heavenly King incarnation of Ji Mage Li, occupying Ji Lishou's body, his eyes flashing, took a deep look at the vanished black ancient city.

His whole body shuddered, then transformed into a stream of light, shooting outward from Qianyan Dao City.

After all, Huang Mei's past self was slain!

This incarnation of his remained; if besieged, it might also fall.

Yue Huanglong, that old fox, seeing the situation unfavorable, directly sold them out……

Staying behind now would be waiting to die!

Ji Mage Li naturally was unwilling to lose a Heavenly King incarnation for nothing!

……

……

Dao Master's Mansion.

The torrential rain kept pouring down, striking the black tiles, washing away and shattering the original snow.

In the Tranquil Pavilion, deathly silence fell.

Yan Jing, holding the great halberd, had a grim expression.

Yue Weizheng was already drenched in sweat, cold sweat trickling.

His face flushed crimson, his body swayed, and some of his hairs stood on end.

Fortunately……

Fortunately, Yue Huanglong did not make a move.

The Netherworld Yama is this strong?!

"How terrifying……"

"Just how terrifying is the Netherworld Yama's physical body?!"

"Truly capable of freely detonating the Qimen Divine Seeds!"

Yue Weizheng's face turned pale as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Yue Huanglong's chubby eyes narrowed slightly: "What a fine Lu Taibai, indeed trying to lure me…"

"His sword Dao seems to have broken through again; he's likely taken another step toward the Divine Tribulation Realm."

"Fortunately, I am steady enough."

Yue Huanglong exhaled a turbid breath.

"As for the Netherworld…… it is beyond comprehension."

In Yue Huanglong's eyes, the color of apprehension ran deep.

Because this time, the Netherworld Yama's method of gravely injuring Huang Mei's past incarnation involved…… the Nether Realm!

He actually managed to fight his way out of the Nether Realm!

He caught Huang Mei's past incarnation completely off guard!

"Netherworld…… Nether Realm……"

"Truly unfathomable."

Yue Huanglong's voice became extremely low.

Yue Weizheng wiped away his sweat and tried to comfort him: "Father…… even if the Netherworld is strong, the strongest, this Yama, is merely at the peak level; moreover, he needs to detonate five Qimen Divine Seeds to reach the level of gravely injuring Great Master Huang Mei's past incarnation…… compared to our ancient Yue clan…"

"Foolish!"

However, Yue Weizheng had not finished speaking.

He was then scolded by Yue Huanglong.

When Yue Weizheng advised Yue Huanglong not to seek death, Yue Huanglong was never this angry.

But as soon as Yue Weizheng said that, Yue Huanglong flew into a rage.

"To underestimate the enemy is to be irresponsible toward one's own life……"

"The Yue clan is indeed strong, but now, in Qianyuan Dao City, it is our own steadiness and strength that form the foundation of our existence; only our own wisdom can guarantee whether we survive."

Yue Huanglong glared at Yue Weizheng.

"Moreover……"

"How else could you be certain……"

"Netherworld…… truly only has one Yama?"

Boom—

Above the heavens.

Thunder roars!

Yue Weizheng and Yan Jing, the Grand Commander of the Divine Guard Army wielding a long halberd, both shuddered.

They were seized with fear!

Netherworld……

Could there be more than one Yama?!

……

……

Qianyuan Dao City.

Listening Thunder Alley.

Independent Workshop Courtyard.

The torrential rain continued to fall, the energy unleashed by the clash of top-tier peak experts boiled and scorched, melting the vast expanse of cloud snow above the heavens.

Li Che maintained the gesture of clenched fists.

He returned to the courtyard.

Hiss—

Standing in the center of the courtyard, the crimson skin membrane roiled with heat, evaporating each droplet of rain.

"Exhale—"

"Inhale—"

With each exhale and inhale, terrifying gusts surged outward.

Li Che removed the black-and-white Yama mask, his muscles twisting like braids, began to relax, and his scorching qi and blood surged rapidly.

The Divine Thunder Armor on his body slowly dissipated.

Several consecutive breaths.

Li Che slowly opened his eyes, brilliant golden light seeming to shoot out from his pupils like arrows.

A powerful Primordial Spirit swept over.

Li Che could feel inside his own fleshly body...

The injuries from detonating five Mystic Gate Divine Seeds seemed smaller than before!

However, Li Che didn't find it strange, after all, before his martial path was only at the Grandmaster realm; his body was strong but he had not broken through to Martial Saint, nor undergone a great transformation.

But after breaking through to Martial Saint, he detonated five Mystic Gate Divine Seeds again...

His fleshly body became even stronger, his five viscera and six bowels became even stronger; although there were injuries, they were no worse than when he had previously detonated two or three Divine Seeds.

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit was beating wildly.

Thud—thud—thud—

Each beat seemed to unleash a surging, extremely rich Dao Fruit power!

Nourishing Li Che's limbs and bones, swiftly repairing his injuries.

"As expected..."

"When my martial path becomes strong enough, recovering from injuries is no longer a problem."

"If I were still merely a Grandmaster, I might not be able to complete the transfer of the Eight Mystic Gate Divine Seeds; even if the transfer succeeded, if I truly detonated the Eight Mystic Gate Divine Seeds... I would probably die."

Li Che let out a long breath.

"Now it's fine... just a moment, the injuries from detonating five Divine Seeds have still recovered halfway."

"Although not as fast as the recovery from detonating two Divine Seeds before, it's still quite good."

"After a night's sleep, I should be completely unharmed by tomorrow."

Li Che smiled, his mood excellent.

"Of course..."

Li Che's eyes gleamed.

He still had something else he looked forward to.

"Although..."

The past incarnation of the Yellow Eyebrow Grand Dharma Master had no Heaven-Earth Jade for him to touch.

But detonating five Mystic Gate Divine Seeds, in a clash with such a powerful expert, even inflicted a crack on the opponent.

Such combat experience, who knows how much feedback it could give to his Dao Fruit maturity!

"Moreover, there is that Transcendent Spirit True Martial 【Shatter South Heaven】; although it was obtained from the feedback of the Temple God Divinity Chess Piece, thus it can be mastered and executed..."

"But having successfully executed it once... for me, it has created muscle memory."

"I should be able to master this Transcendent Spirit True Martial soon!"

Li Che's heart trembled slightly.

In today's battle, he exhausted all his trump cards, giving his all.

But while eliminating the threat posed by the experts of the Lesser Spirit Sound Temple, his own gains were actually quite rich.

He sat cross-legged; raindrops fell, evaporating in the vicinity of his body.

Li Che inhaled and exhaled, stabilizing his mind.

In his pupils,

Instantly, golden flowing light appeared, slowly emerging.

【Dao Fruit: Dragon Elephant Vajra (LV5, 90%)】

……

……

Primordial Origin Dao City was covered by heavy rain.

Torrential rain kept falling on the mortal world, washing the streets.

Everyone stood stunned in the heavy rain.

And Wugang, clad in a gray monk's robe, stood dazedly, his eyes full of bewilderment.

He looked around, all was bewilderment.

Gazing at the rain-washed Primordial Origin Dao City, he felt as if the world were spinning.

The vast city seemed to have no place for him.

Where should he go?

Huangtu the Dharma Master had died, not even a corpse found.

And Wugang, where should he go?

Return to the Lesser Spirit Sound Temple?

Wugang's body trembled; as a Martial Saint expert, since breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, his martial path had been fierce, never having experienced such a moment, now so bewildered and at a loss.

Suddenly.

In the raging storm.

Wugang heard the sound of an ancient bronze bell swaying.

Ding-ling—ding-ling—

His neck, as if stiff, slowly lifted, gazing into the distance.

There...

In the mist of water vapor kicked up by the torrential rain striking the ground.

There was a figure bathed in the rain, one hand holding a black ledger, the other gripping a wolf-hair brush.

Black qi swirled around, slowly approaching.

Mao Lian's mask, under the rain's wash, had water continuously gathering at the mask's chin, forming threads that swiftly dripped down.

"Gee-hee-hee, gee-hee-hee—"

Cold, sinister, smug, arrogant laughter.

As if circling between heaven and earth.

On the long street, it was not just Wu Gang.

The strong ones of all factions in Primordial Origin Dao City couldn't help but turn their gazes, looking toward the Underworld Mao Lian slowly walking out of the heavy rain.

At the moment of seeing Underworld Mao Lian……

Only then did everyone react!

Originally, the feeling of unease from the ancient black city of the Underworld earlier was because Underworld Mao Lian was missing!

And now……

Mao Lian has arrived!

"Wu Gang……"

"Your name is also in the Book of Life and Death."

Mao Lian opened the book, the wolf-hair brush in hand lightly stroking over Wu Gang's name.

Wu Gang abruptly lifted his head……

Then.

Behind Mao Lian, a spark of gold lightning intertwined burst open!

That is……

Just an instant.

A golden light shot silently from the long street dozens of li away, in an instant evaporating the torrential rain, pulling out a narrow, steaming void in the air!

It appeared before his eyes.

In his pupils, it rapidly enlarged, enlarged!

Bang——!

At the same time.

Only then did the distant explosion of golden light reverberate slowly!

Wu Gang roared in anger!

Having reacted, he was both startled and furious!

The Underworld……

They want to kill him!

They want to eradicate him completely!

A long whistle!

Great Might Heavenly Dragon!

Vajra Indestructible!

Buddha light burst forth, instantly covering Wu Gang's back with radiant Buddha light.

His flesh turned glittering with golden light!

Desiring to fully resist this assault from Ma Mian, a sniper from dozens of li away!

But at the moment his qi and blood surged, that bullet already shattered his skull, his proud martial monk's fleshly body.

Before this bullet intertwined with lightning and electricity, spinning at high speed……

Fragile as a piece of soft tofu!

Bang——!!!

Between heaven and earth, only an extremely intense blood mist remained!

After the bullet pierced and shattered Wu Gang's skull.

It still wanted to continue shooting forward.

But a figure blocked it, fingers splayed, fiercely grabbing at that bullet!

Feng Zhiqi's Guardian Temple Governor's robe constantly fluttered and snapped, striking the airflow and rain!

Turbulent qi and blood intertwined, gripping that high-speed spinning bullet, he felt only the terrifying piercing force, almost tearing his flesh apart!

"What tremendous piercing power!"

"The power of lightning, transformed into piercing force…… even a Qi Sea Martial Saint cannot block it!"

"This Ma Mian……"

Feng Zhiqi at the peak of Three Open Martial Saint clenched his five fingers, seizing the scorching bullet.

Although the bullet force from the Namo Immortal Artificer Super Electromagnetic Cannon is powerful, what concerns him more is still that piercing power.

What an Underworld Ma Mian……

The power of mechanical hidden weapons has increased again.

Wu Gang's skull exploded……

At the moment Mao Lian struck his name from the Book of Life and Death, he was shot dead by Ma Mian!

Of course, largely because Wu Gang's emotions were unbalanced and he was unaware of the Super Electromagnetic Cannon's terrifying piercing power.

"Gee-hee-hee……"

"King Yan lets you die at the third watch; who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?"

"Underworld Mao Lian……"

"They've come to attend the funeral!"

Mao Lian closed the Register of Life and Death, beneath the smiling Mao Lian mask, a low voice echoed throughout the long street.

This moment……

Everyone couldn't help but break out in goosebumps.

It wasn't just because of Wu Gang's death.

The Netherworld's extermination business isn't the first time they've done it.

But because of Mao Lian's funeral, and that Register of Life and Death in Mao Lian's hands……

At this moment, the name "Register of Life and Death" made many people feel a heaviness in their hearts.

Even the wondrous noodle skin made with abundant lingzhi couldn't help but tremble.

Worried……

Wondering if they, too, had left their name in the Register of Life and Death.

Netherworld Mao Lian……

Although weak.

But it seems……

It's also a bit scary!
