Chapter 611
"I am an existence that transcends life and death, undying and indestructible; outsider, you can never kill me!"
The Great Tengu roared.
The next moment, its head was blasted into its chest cavity by a vast, mighty force, directly cosplaying Xingtian.
"Ah—"
It let out a pained wail, while Sanzu Kawahiro watched from not far away with a wooden expression, looking at the legendary god said to possess the power to manipulate storms being hung up and beaten.
Countless defective soul bodies wailed along with it; the depths of the Great Spirit Vein were disturbed by the commotion of wailing on this side, the Sea of Residual Souls surged, as if something else was approaching.
Before long, an equally gigantic face emerged from the Sea of Residual Souls, followed immediately by a body that in no way lost to the Great Tengu's massive frame squeezing its way out.
The newcomer had only one head, but possessed three faces; the three faces shared a single skull, six arms — the front two pressed together in prayer, the rear four held in a lotus-supporting pose.
"Asura King."
Broly turned his head to look; Sanzu Kawahiro exclaimed in surprise — another Undying had come, a powerful Land God.
"Great Tengu, what are you doing? Why have you stirred up Naraku's residual souls into incessant wailing?"
"Asura, are the three pairs of eyes you've grown blind?"
The Great Tengu pulled its own skull out from its chest cavity and spoke somewhat stifled.
"Don't you see the one causing the disturbance isn't me, but this guy?"
"Who is he?"
The Asura King rotated a face, then used eyes with pupils to look at Broly, inquiring of the Great Tengu.
"An outsider who intruded into the Spirit Vein, and is in cahoots with the guy who spoke with a bossy attitude inside the Spirit Vein just now; he wants to reverse life and death for a dead person's soul."
The Great Tengu stated concisely; and just while it was explaining the situation, several more Land Gods arrived in this space — only these Land Gods did not have towering bodies like the Great Tengu and Asura King, but were about the same size as normal humans.
"Is that how it is?"
The Asura King's sorrowful face looked at Broly and asked.
"More or less, that's it."
Broly nodded.
"The dead should follow the principle of the cycle of life and death; we are the Guardians of the Great Spirit Vein, and cannot allow you, this outsider, to trample the Great Spirit Vein's principle."
The Asura King's voice shifted from sorrow to anger, and its face rotated another side — eyes containing rage, blue-faced and fanged, glaring furiously at Broly.
"You have your principles, I have my principles; I will use my principles to convince you to abide by my principles."
Martial arts is also a Dao, physics is also a principle; Broly pinched his sandbag-sized fists and assumed a combat stance in midair facing the Asura King.
"Asura, this guy is strong; don't underestimate the opponent."
The Great Tengu already had a bit of a shadow from being beaten.
"I'm different from you; I'm the god most skilled at combat!"
In response, the Asura King was brimming with confidence.
Then, as expected, this guy also got hammered to pieces by the Saiyan.
Broly moved his arms; he felt that himself in spirit-body state seemed even stronger than himself with a physical body.
At least, in terms of spiritual power, it was so.
This wasn't an illusion; he had a feeling that as long as he himself was willing, he could completely crush the space before him.
Fortunately, Broly still remembered he had come to find a soul.
Worried he couldn't hold back his power, he might incidentally grind his prospective mother-in-law's soul to pieces along with it.
"Hah, talking so big, but in the end aren't you the same as me?"
The Great Tengu mocked the knocked-down Asura King; the Asura King's upward-facing normal face cycled green, then purple.
"Formless Palm."
The Asura King let out a low roar; giant palms emerged from the surrounding Sea of Residual Souls, clapping together toward Broly.
Broly still didn't dodge, because he felt no threat; he was struck by the giant palms clapping together, but felt nothing — merely fell into an even pitch-black environment.
"A trick like this can't kill him."
The Great Tengu said.
"This is merely a seal."
The Asura King naturally knew his own move couldn't kill the outsider who could easily knock him down.
Broly waited a while, discovered the palms suppressing him weren't increasing force nor showing any intention of letting go, so he exerted strength and pried the two palms open.
However, just as the left-and-right praying palms were pried open by his brute force, another pair of giant praying palms came from above and below and covered him.
Broly: "???"
*Clap clap clap* applause began ringing out non-stop, rapidly, in the land of Naraku.
The outsider continuously shattered the palms suppressing himself, but new palms immediately covered him again.
When these palms were blasted apart, the Asura King's face showed no change — clearly he felt no pain.
And his move was to use the endless residual souls' power in the land of Naraku, continuously putting palm boxes on the outsider's body.
Though the palm boxes weren't hard, they won in being able to generate endlessly; other Undying struck by this move would also face being sealed by infinite Formless Palms.
"Broly-sama?"
Sanzugawa Kazuhiro also panicked, because he discovered Broly, bound by countless giant praying palms, gradually stopped struggling.
"Where are you going?"
Just as Sanzu Kawahiro, seeing the situation turn bad, prepared to sneak away, several normal-human-sized Land Gods had already surrounded him.
"The aura of the unawakened Killing Stone — are you the guide chosen by the Nine-Tails?"
The elderly-looking Land God frowned at the butterfly youth; just as he prepared to ask something.
That shrunken palm suddenly was pried open; Broly directly broke open the Asura King's seal by enlarging himself.
"The posture of the soul depends on self-cognition, so, as long as in my cognition I believe the Enlargement Spell can be normally used in this world, then my spirit body can also enlarge along with the use of the Enlargement Spell that I acknowledge……"
Broly, who had used the Enlargement Spell and whose spirit body had become larger than the Great Tengu and the Asura King, stroked his chin with his hand.
"By the same logic, that Clone Spell of mine that wasn't successful should also be usable, right."
Broly muttered to himself, then directly used it.
Soon, a super-giant three-headed six-armed Saiyan who looked even more like an Asura King than the Asura King appeared in this space.
"Since you made me eat so many slaps, I reckon you've already prepared yourself, right?"
Asura King: "……"
"Slap slap slap……"
For the next period of time, Sanzugawa Kazuhiro and the several Land Gods surrounding him watched the Asura King get violently slapped by the Saiyan version of the Asura King (Fake), and the Great Tengu, who wanted to rush up to help, unexpectedly also joined the ranks of those being slapped.
"Good grief, I've already been very friendly in dealing with you all, yet you all just had to ignore my good intentions."
The three-headed six-armed Broly, his upper two hands respectively gripping the heads of the Great Tengu and the Asura King, lifted the two of them up.
"We are Undying; you can never kill us."
The Great Tengu continued to talk tough.
"Uh——"
The next moment, his abdomen took a punch from Broly's lower hands.
"You're merely an unbreakable sandbag, what's there to be proud of, don't tell me you can't feel pain?"
Great Tengu: "……"
His entire face was already twisted in pain; clearly, he could feel the pain of his abdomen being pummeled by fists.
"Now, I'll ask you once more: continue to be beaten by my fists until you change your minds, or change your minds right now and make a friend of me, letting me obtain the soul I want and thereby leave here?"
Broly inquired; the Asura King only felt his head was about to be crushed by the other's palm.
At this moment, the Asura King felt dread; his identity as an Undying seemed instead to have become the other's confidence to beat him at will.
Even if all three of his faces were slapped rotten by this guy, due to the Undying trait they rapidly recovered, able to once again accept that unacceptable pain.
"Stop, stop hitting me, I'm willing to help you, letting the dead souls entering the Great Spirit Vein leave."
Towards the Asura King's cowed attitude, Broly nodded in satisfaction.
And this, probably, is the wrist of socializing, the art of 'handling people'.
"Then what about you?"
Broly put the Asura King down, then asked the Great Tengu.
"As long as it's not the entire spirit body, whatever you say goes."
The Great Tengu clearly didn't want to be beaten anymore either.
"Then what about you all?"
Broly bent down, looked at the Land Gods surrounding his summoned creature's workhorse employees, and directly asked their opinion.
And since even the strongest Great Tengu and Asura King had been ruthlessly trampled, these remaining Land Gods didn't dare say a single 'no'.
Anyway, refusing was useless too; it would only make them get beaten for nothing; the other only wanted a dead soul; ever since the Great Spirit Vein purification system took on load, it wasn't like no dead souls had ever escaped from the Great Spirit Vein.
Honestly, it was just that Aqua came in bossy with her speaking attitude toward them; otherwise, if she had spoken nicely, maybe there really would have been Land Gods willing to help find souls, help souls return to the mortal world — such a small favor; of course, being willing now isn't too late either.
"This Broly-sama, may I ask which dead soul you are looking for?"
The elderly-looking Land God asked respectfully.
"The previous head of the Tsuchimiya Family, Tsuchimiya Mai, who died not long ago."
Broly had already returned to normal spirit body size, and directly told the other the dead soul he wanted to find.
"Huh? The Tsuchimiya Family head?"
"Is there a problem?"
Broly saw the look of surprise floating on the elderly Land God's face, frowned, and asked.
"In the mortal world, the Tsuchimiya Family serves the spirit beast Byakuei formed from the Killing Stone; every generation of this family's head, when inheriting the spirit beast Byakuei, binds with the Killing Stone that constitutes Byakuei, yet their souls never enter the Great Spirit Vein's reincarnation."
Worried Broly would think they were being perfunctory, the elderly Land God hurriedly explained the Tsuchimiya Family's special circumstances.
"Eh, putting it that way, the Great Spirit Vein doesn't have the soul I'm looking for?"
"If you're certain the dead soul you're looking for is the Tsuchimiya Family head who inherits the spirit beast Byakuei, then that is indeed the case, no mistake."
To the side, hearing this, the Great Tengu and Asura King suddenly felt like they were suckers; the other looked for a dead soul in the wrong place, yet the two of them got beaten for no reason.
Broly hesitated a moment, looked at the Great Tengu and Asura King beside him, and asked: "Then how about, I give you two an apology?"
【Does that mean we have to kneel down and listen attentively to your apology to us?】
The Great Tengu and Asura King grumbled in their hearts, but on the surface waved their hands repeatedly: "No need, anyway we two are Undying, our injuries have already healed."
Broly just felt these two big guys' words were very pleasing to the ear, so he nodded: "You two, one said he'd eat me, one greeted me with slaps on sight; how about this, we'll call it even."
Broly actually didn't feel he should apologize; after all, if after meeting, these two Land Gods had been willing to speak nicely with him, it wouldn't have come to them being violently beaten by him; if blame must be assigned, it's still their fault for having bad tempers.
"Broly-sama, my mother……"
Just as Broly was preparing to dust off his hands and leave, Sanzu Kawahiro hurriedly reminded him.
"Oh, right."
Only then did Broly remember that the person he wanted Aqua Master to conveniently resurrect also included his shadow ninja subordinate's workhorse employee's mother.
"You don't have Tsuchimiya Mai's soul here, then help me find the other's mother's soul; I want to take the other's mother's soul away."
The Land Gods naturally had no objections; Broly counted as a strong dragon pressing down on the local snake; they couldn't wait for this visiting plague god to leave the Great Spirit Vein quickly.
After all, if the other really ran amok in the Great Spirit Vein without care, they would be completely unable to stop him.
Sanzugawa Kazuhiro's mother's dead soul, in the Great Spirit Vein, muddleheaded in the incomparably long reincarnation queue, was suddenly grabbed out from a group of dead souls by the elderly Land God.
Before her muddleheaded consciousness could react to what had happened, her soul was stuffed into the Saiyan's hands by the elderly Land God.
The Sheep Talisman's Astral Projection duration was only half an hour, and Broly returned from the Great Spirit Vein with the loot.
Back on the high-rise rooftop, the bloodstains from Broly's suicide just now had already been cleaned up, and the two vegetative bodies, one large and one small, had been moved to the shade on the rooftop.
The only difference was that Tsuchimiya Mai's unconscious body lay on the ground, while Broly's unconscious body lay on Aqua's lap.
Two bottles of alcohol had already been drunk up, and the White Shadow Ninja stood by holding a wooden plaque, fanning Aqua.
This Goddess-sama wore an expression of leisurely contentment.
"Aqua Master, I'm back."
"So fast, did you properly teach this world's native god a lesson?"
"Already taught a lesson."
"Good, hmm, is this your future mother-in-law's departed soul?"
Aqua looked at the female wraith beside the butterfly youth, but frowned.
"Why does she look somewhat unlike it?"
Aqua's face was somewhat red; she obviously hadn't purified the alcohol drunk into her body, and was in a drunken state.
"This isn't my future mother-in-law's soul, but my summon's subordinate's employee's mother's soul, and I want to ask Aqua Master to also conveniently revive his mother."
"Broly, how can you be like this, casually reviving the dead, this is a wrong thing to do."
Sanzugawa Kazuhiro: "..."
Is this something an existence who just casually resurrected a dead person in front of himself would say?
"Please, Aqua-sama, my mother is someone I cherish, as long as you revive my mother, I am willing to join the Axis Cult, and offer up the finest sake for the great you!"
Sanzu Kawahiro performed dogeza; on the way back he had already heard of Aqua's preferences from Broly's mouth, and now he was catering to them.
Hearing this, Aqua was truly moved by his sincerity, wearing a look that only believers and fine sake must not be failed in this world, and said to Sanzugawa Kazuhiro: "Since you have deep mother-son affection, then I, as the Axis Cult's Main God, also cannot be too cold-blooded and ruthless.
How about this, offer up a hundred bottles of fine sake to me, then bring your mother's remains before me, and I, Water God Aqua-sama, will grant this small wish of yours!"
"Yes."
Sanzu Kawahiro's face was excited, and he immediately took his mother's wraith beside him to go dig up his own mother's, the other party's, grave.
