Chapter 276: Slay the Evil God

Kill!

The power of the million-strong army condensed, like dark clouds pressing down on a city, with every gesture killing intent enveloping heaven and earth.

Following Mu Yi's command, the vast army formation seemed infused with a soul; the rich yin qi grew deeper at a visible speed, turning into a special cloud energy like yin killing energy.

Layers of killing energy instantly linked together, the enhancing and suppressing sealing abilities directly pushed to their limit.

The will system was perfectly suited for the yin soldiers; although Mu Yi's control was slightly lacking, the yin soldiers' elite talent compensated, helping Mu Yi activate the independent belief region's effect to the maximum degree.

"Legion attack!" Mu Yi shouted sternly.

The next moment, without Mu Yi needing to personally condense cloud energy, the ghost commanders among the million ghost soldiers controlled this cloud energy and launched an attack at the indescribable monster before them.

Like a dust-covered volcano suddenly erupting, under Mu Yi's command it turned into a terrifying torrent capable of destroying everything.

From condensation to eruption, over a hundred streams of killing energy condensed into a legion attack that roared, causing even the deep sea to boil.

The terrifying legion attack torrent erased all indescribable monsters along its path.

Even an indescribable evil god's incarnation, before the legion attack erupted from a foundation of a million yin soldiers, was fragile and unable to withstand a single blow.

Zheng He's fleet, with only twenty-plus thousand, could use naval tactics to instantly kill legendary beings; now Mu Yi commands a stronger million-strong army, based on the Six Harmonies army formation, whose erupted legion attack is so powerful it makes Mu Yi tremble.

Mu Yi felt the terrifying roar echoing in his ears; amidst the deep sea's tremors, the million yin soldiers issued a terrifying slaughter roar, as if they wanted to swallow the whole world.

Before the army's blade edge, everything became incredibly tiny; the terrifying evil god incarnation was almost instantly swallowed by the merciless attack.

Mu Yi fell silent; this is the power of a great army, entirely a qualitative change brought about by quantitative increase.

The strength of a hundred is one thing, that of ten thousand another, but the strength of a million surpasses even his former imagination.

This is strength enough to slay gods, the true power that can make deities submit.

Mu Yi then understood why the military strategists had confidence to wage war on the world: because their combat power far exceeds what an individual can show, and only when commanding an army is the war god at his mightiest.

"Roar!"

The next moment, as if an explosion occurred, countless yin soldiers behind flew up, and innumerable tentacles stabbed out from the deep sea.

An immense shadow surged from the sea surface straight toward the deep sea.

"I didn't come looking for you, yet you delivered yourself to my door!"

Mu Yi instantly turned his head to look in the direction they came from.

The evil god with its true form lunged at them, while Shentu and Yulei vanished without a trace, unknown whether they were restrained or directly shattered in their incarnations.

However, it's irrelevant; Mu Yi now has no fear of this so-called evil god's true form, for god-slaying power lies in his hands.

Before the evil god had fully arrived, chaotic force already surged toward the million-strong army.

Unlike the naval fleet's system, which cycles essence, energy, and spirit with heaven and earth's essence as a chain, that system is closer to the cloud energy system, slightly weaker in defending will but excelling in energy attacks.

Meanwhile, the independent belief region system Mu Yi now uses completely surpasses the self-cycling system; it is truly the divine system even the war god employs.

Within the area fully enveloped and controlled by will, even heaven and earth are occupied by the great army; chaotic fluctuations spreading onto the million-strong army merely cause tiny ripples in the will area, unable to inflict any will-based harm on the million ghost soldiers.

Even conversely, the killing energy condensed by the million ghost soldiers began to erode the evil god's true form.

"Legion attack!"

Mu Yi continued to order; for such a large-bodied monster, normal command tactics are useless—direct firepower coverage, blasting it to nothing, and that settles it.

Hundreds of killing-energy spears, each over a hundred meters long, condensed above the army's heads, then, with the support of numerous legendary yin commanders, were shot forth.

The evil god's body, which Mu Yi and company had previously been unable to seriously damage, now fragile like shoddy tofu-project work, the legion attack directly tore hundreds of holes in it.

The curses and distortions emanating from the holes were completely blocked outside by the independent belief region; with the million-strong army's will bolstering it, the killing energy even began to erode the evil god's body in return.

After all, the evil god is now merely a high-tier legendary being, lacking the ability to overturn a world; no matter how exaggerated its traits, before the million-strong army it is utterly unable to withstand a single blow.

Zheng He's fleet could not affect it, first because its numbers were insufficient, second because the imperial will was too distant to provide enough will to counter the evil god's will.

In short, it's insufficient power and will, unable to fully break through defenses.

But before the power of the million-strong army now, the evil god's true form's defense, which only possesses partial divine traits, is utterly inadequate; the damage inflicted is genuine each time, and moreover, thanks to the killing energy's nature, it can even suppress the evil god's recovery in return.

"The legion attack isn't just about the amount of cloud energy mobilized; it's also a contest of the two legions' wills—if that's the case…"

Mu Yi drew the wave-splitting greatsword; the cloud energy above the army's heads was like being grasped by a great hand, slowly splitting into a blade over a kilometer long—this is the ultimate version of the legion attack, the ultimate strike that mobilizes the will and cloud energy of the entire army to the greatest extent.

This is also the essence of the naval battle secret art, the supreme mystery of the qi system that Mu Yi learned from Zheng He.

When the two armies face off with cloud energy mutually eroding, neither side can use this attack; but upon the ocean, such a charging attack becomes mainstream.

And now, it is being used by Mu Yi.

On the blade over a kilometer long began to flicker with obscure will radiance, the divine and qi dual systems merging into one at this moment.

"Take my strike! Ten Thousand Armies Take Head!"

Mu Yi fully attached the independent belief region to the blade condensed from the great army's cloud energy; the formerly illusory blade now appeared as if substantial in the deep sea.

Infusing the blade with the belief to sever all things, just as Mu Yi usually imbues his sword intent into his attacks to increase power.

Accompanied by Mu Yi's will infecting it, this blade, condensed from massive killing energy and infused with great will, began to emit a keen cold light, like a long-sealed treasure sword finally revealing its brilliance again.

The next moment, the over-a-kilometer blade, as if grasped by someone, ferociously slashed down upon the evil god's true form.

It seemed to sense danger; a visible distortion barrier enveloped the evil god's main body, the distortion power fully unleashed, making the already indescribable evil god become even more twisted and monstrous.

Even some tentacles burst within this degree of distortion, showing the evil god was already using distortion power beyond what its body could bear, even beginning to harm its own substance.

The evil god seemed unaware of its plight, wildly using distortion power; the seawater affected by this force seemed to come alive, dancing wildly with the distortion.

"Slash!"

The blade struck down without mercy.

"Crack—" At the instant of contact, the evil god's defense made of distortion power was split more than half; although the blade began to crack all over, its momentum did not wane, directly shattering the evil god's defense.

The violent forces collided, producing no imagined explosion; the strong impact's released energy first turned the surroundings into a vacuum.

The evil god's distortion power gradually wore down the blade, as if trying to shatter it.

"Die!"

Seeing this, Mu Yi's Six Paths Barrier was pushed to the extreme, unleashing the million-strong army's will to its peak, successfully cleaving the blade completely.

Boom!

From the deep sea to the heavens, everything in the attack was severed, the blade's flash cutting through all matter.

Mu Yi stared at the sliced sea, a slight daze crossing his face; this was the power of the million‑strong army.

Even while standing in the deep sea, he could glimpse the heavens; such a mighty force was something the former Mu Yi could never have imagined.

As for the true form of the evil god, under this dazzling blade light it had already turned to ash.

The consumption is a bit huge!

Mu Yi lowered his head, watching the million‑strong army, now somewhat listless after the world‑shaking strike.

Mu Yi sighed; honestly, such massive consumption wasn't necessary—everything was because of him.

The first time he wielded power of this magnitude, over seventy percent was wasted, and the more spectacular the after‑effects, the more it showed his lack of control.

If he could truly master this power, he should be able to eradicate the evil god without harming the ecological environment.

After a brief sigh, Mu Yi walked toward the final spot, while an existence beyond the world cast its gaze at him.

This time, though still chaotic, it was filled with malice and anger.

Mu Yi ignored those stares, calling them paper tigers; if they have the skill, descend and see if I can cut you to death.

He stared only for a moment, then, for unknown reasons, completely averted his gaze.

What on earth is this thing!

Mu Yi saw the target of their costly expedition.

Its form resembled a gigantic shapeshifting worm, a human face with green eyes peering outward from its body.

The instant his gaze met the green eyes, Mu Yi seemed to be in a realm beyond space and time, within the central palace of endless chaos.

An incomprehensible entity, utterly unseen, was sleeping; its tentacles, driven by Instinct, hammered an invisible massive drum and blew a long flute that emitted a nauseating, monotonous tone.

A horde of indescribable things howled madly, constantly whispering profane, unclean words.

In the next instant, Mu Yi returned to reality.

Cold sweat streamed continuously down his forehead.

Terrifying—far too terrifying—he could not recall what had just happened.

Yet the true meaning of Reincarnation that surfaced in his soul made clear how dangerous it had been; without that Reincarnation insight, he might already be dead now.

Another true form of the evil god?

Mu Yi felt the Multiverse was utterly rotten; such a once‑in‑ten‑thousand‑years specter had appeared twice in the same world.

This isn't the true form of the evil god! It's merely an avatar—just a more lethal one!

Shen Tu and Yu Lei appeared before Mu Yi, though they didn't seem to be in great shape.

"Here's your reward. The opponent was odd, but the fight was fun. Next time there's work like this, call us!" Shen Tu tossed three Ghost Gate fragments to Mu Yi.

"Our brother apologizes. We came to help, but ended up making a fool of ourselves!" Yu Lei sounded a bit dejected.

Could you two clarify a few things for me?

Mu Yi still felt bewildered; the thing before him wasn't the true form of the evil god, just an avatar?

Yet the feeling it gave him was more terrifying, more twisted, more chaotic than the previous true form.

"We'll talk after it's over; you don't think it's already finished, do you?" Yu Lei lifted his head, crossing the void toward the heavens.

At this moment, the war beyond the world had fully broken out.

The war among deities was far more astonishing than anything within the world.

Yet both sides, in perfect tacit understanding, refrained from violence against this world, placing the battlefield in the void.

The Five‑Region Ghost Emperors and the Four Great Judges gathered because of this—truly unexpected.

"I didn't expect the trial bestowed by Hou Tu Niangniang to be so astonishing!" Shen Tu turned his head, his expression toward Mu Yi a bit odd.

"Kid, you've achieved a great feat this time!"

"Come, Mu kid, lend a hand and push this thing into the Ghost Gate!"

As Shen Tu and Yu Lei spoke, the Ghost Gate opened behind them.

Mu Yi, though puzzled, still wielded the Great Army Cloud in concert with the two, sending the seemingly sleeping worm into the Ghost Gate.

Through the Ghost Gate, Mu Yi could see Ten Courts Yama waiting opposite, with countless ghost soldiers and shadow commanders standing behind.

"Our mission is complete!"

When the Ghost Gate closed, Shen Tu and Yu Lei couldn't help but sigh in relief.

"Where will that thing be suppressed?"

Mu Yi asked curiously; even the senior officials of the Underworld were opposite, showing how important the worm was.

"Naturally it's Avici Hell! No other place can contain that thing!"

Shen Tu and Yu Lei smiled and began answering Mu Yi's questions. Honestly, if they hadn't received the decree from the lady, they wouldn't have believed it; they'd only intended to go out for fun, yet ended up muddling into a divine war.

"Guess what kind of avatar you just sealed inside?"

Before Mu Yi could guess, Shen Tu blurted out.

"The creator god of a universe! In our Jiuzhou, that's a Four‑Imperial Emperor‑level being! And it's the opponent's sole avatar!"

Shen Tu and Yu Lei's answer left Mu Yi frozen in place.

He had imagined the opponent to be terrifying, but didn't expect it to be so powerful; the Four‑Imperial Emperors of Jiuzhou, even at the emperor tier, are immensely strong, truly standing at Jiuzhou's pinnacle.

And the sole avatar of such a being was, with his help, sent into Avici Hell…
