“Brat, do you think Hell is just some marketplace you can come and go as you please?” The judges walked past the translucent bell and surrounded the intruder in the center.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er looked up and were met with peculiar looks from the judges. One of them had three eyes, one of them had four heads and eight arms, another one had a thousand arms, and one had no facial features other than a huge eye that covered his whole face.
One of the judges had no head at all; his face was on his belly, and he wielded two huge axes. He smiled and said, “How brave, you dare to even show yourself again?”
“If you didn’t show up again, we might not have been able to find you. But since you had the guts to reappear, then you might as well stay in Hell for the rest of your life! We will reserve the best room for you in the Hell Abyss!” Another judge continued, he had hundreds of tentacles with mouths waving on his back while he had no mouth on his own face.
Then, a judge with the body of a lion and eight legs smiled, “The Abyss will have more than a millions of ways of torturing you, you shall be tormented until the end of your soul! Sometimes, you’d wonder, why are you still alive? You might as well have been dead from the start!”
Another judge with a green face and a horn on his forehead sneered, “In the world outside of Hell, you can do whatever you like and it wouldn’t concern me in the slightest. But here, nothing you do will work on us, you’ve picked the wrong target to mess with!”
“Loyal dogs to the Heaven Court!” The intruder gave a scoffed, his face remained blurred as he mocked the judges, “Do you think just the few of you little minions can stop me? I’ve fought countless battles and survived through the greatest dangers, I’ve killed enough to pave Hell’s floor with their corpses. Now, hand over the Book of Life and Death, or I will destroy your puny Hell!”
“Cut the crap, we can talk after he is taken down!” The judges sprung into action at the same time. Shields, chains, fans, flowing river, tombstone, huge axe and various kind of weapons rained down on the mighty god like a whirlwind.
The translucent bell also rang incessantly, its sound rang in their ears but no damage was evident other than the intruder’s balance being momentarily disturbed.
Dang—
When the bell sound struck Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er, blood leaked out of their mouths while the Lan Si God was even wounded by the sound alone.
This blood was the essence of their Yuan Shen. Qiu Jin’er’s and Lan Si God’s Yuan Shen blood colored the verdant green of life, and would combust like ghost fire seconds later.
Whereas Zhong Yue’s blood was red as it usually was. This was because he had cultivated the Six Paths Wheel, the blood essence of his mortal body and Yuan Shen were connected; thus, the blood that flowed in his Yuan Shen was also the exact same one that flowed in his mortal body.
Also unlike the other two, the life force in his blood was far too exuberant that not only would it not burn as ghost fire, but it would find its way and flow back into his body of its own accord!
Although the bell wasn’t aiming for them but the intruder, the residual impact force still managed to inflicted a certain degree of damage to them.
The golden furry god was truly strong, he would’ve probably killed the judges if they were somewhere else other than Hell. But sadly, only the soul, spirit, and specially-forged weapons would be useful in Hell.
Despite the fact that he could only wield at the most a tenth of his full prowess in Hell, the golden furry god was still able to hold out against and even suppress the judges on his own.
The judges carefully maneuvered around him, avoiding as much contact as they could against him as they would start spitting out mouthfuls of green blood otherwise.
The blood would react to the air of Hell and combust into ghostly fire, it was truly a spectacular scene that was befitting of Hell.
As the experts clashed, the after-impact of their attacks pulsated to every corner of the Serene Darkness Mansion while the land beneath them sank.
Zhong Yue, Qiu Jin’er, and Lan Si God bolted away as far as they could from the center of the battlefield. But no matter how far they went, the after impact of the battle was still strong enough to cause considerable damage to them.
Zhong Yue chanted sternly, and a sun and moon appeared in each of his eyes while his hands waltzed about in the air. He swerved around Qiu Jin’er and Lan Si God, repelling the incoming shockwaves for the two while taking on the impact himself.
In just seconds, blood started gushing out of his body like a fountain before flowing back inside again in preservation of his life force.
The shockwaves from the gods’ battle were incredibly strong, even though Zhong Yue had cultivated the Innate True Soul, he was still far weaker than the judges.
Some of the shockwaves were even strong enough to shudder him from deep within!
The Fuxi True Form is the only guarantee to save ourselves from further harm, but doing so may lead to unnecessary troubles…
Zhong Yue mulled, and suddenly Qiu Jin’er yelled sternly. She turned into a celestial with a bird’s wing and body with two dragons beneath her feet. The black Wu Chang’s jet black cloak nearly couldn’t cover her enlarged body.
Thankfully, the cloak was a divine weapon that could dynamically conform to the wearer’s body shape.
As soon as Qiu Jin’er joined him in withstanding the shockwaves, the burden on Zhong Yue lifted considerably, giving him a small window to regain his balance.
The two of them protected Lan Si God in the center. Lan Si God was incredibly grateful and thought, The emissaries, they are so kind…
Sure enough, their actions quickly attracted the judges’ attentions. One of the judges even developed a sense of suspicion in his heart toward the two of them.
Who are these two Wu Chang Celestial Race experts? They are quite strong, even in Hell, but why haven’t I heard of them before?
However, the battle was intense and he didn’t have the luxury to divert any of his attention toward thinking.
Soon, the intruder’s attacks grew weaker and their body became increasingly littered with wounds. Even his last hope of escaping was dashed when he realized his attacks were ineffective against the translucent bell!
The judges heaved a breath of relief, they thought, This time he surely won’t be able to escape anymore. He’s caused such a havoc in Hell, countless gods have died and so many souls were devoured by him. Not only that, but he has greatly trampled on Hell’s reputation. He must be punished severely and made an example to the other gods!
As defeat drew closer, the intruder suddenly released a loud roar at the top of his lungs. The roar was so strong that for the first time, the translucent bell was shuddered by a little.
One of the judge gave a cold sneer, “It’s no use, there is nothing you can do to stop your defeat!”
Just as he said, a huge rift suddenly ripped open in the sky, and a gigantic body wrapped in marvelous totem patterns and astronomical bodies appeared on the other end of the space rift!
That was the intruder’s mortal body!
Seeing that his atman would not withstand Hell any longer, he called upon his mortal body to aid in his battle in Hell. But Hell and the real-world existed in different dimensions, it was theoretically impossible for the mortal body to enter Hell!
Yet, he was slowly breaking this law!
The intruder was truly strong. One of his feet even managed to step into the dimension of Hell and stomp down on the translucent bell!
Dong—
The impenetrable bell shuddered, and a huge footmark was left on its surface!
Along with it, a destructive wave propagated out that pulverized everything around it into dust and ash, including the gods, buildings, array formations, divine weapons, and even the land itself!
The intruder’s mortal body was groaning in pain as half of it had entered Hell while fighting against the principles of the two dimensions!
“I dictate my own life, I control of my own fate and destiny!” The god’s hideous face appeared in the sky. He had a head of grey hair and the face of a wrinkled old man. Time was running out for him, but his power remained overwhelming. He dragged out a mountain-wide golden cane and roared, “If you don’t give me my life, I will crush Hell into nothingness!”
Before the golden cane even reached Hell from the other end of the space rift, the sky of Hell already started to shatter like a mirror. At this rate, no one would dare to take the risk of allowing the golden cane to enter Hell!
The eighteen judges immediately shouted in unison and rushed toward the intruder’s atman, planning to take him down before his mortal body and divine weapon entered Hell.
Krong—
The golden cane rammed a hole through the translucent bell, and the intruder’s atman bolted toward his mortal body. Meanwhile, his mortal body clenched onto the Six Paths Paragon and uprooted it totally.
The intruder’s hoarse voice laughed as he said, “Hahaha, from now on, all lives will dictate their own fate and destiny! Heaven or Hell, we are the masters of ourselves!”
The 18 judges were spurting blood from their mouth, but before the laughter faded away, an even more terrifying aura burst out from the deepest region of Hell. A hand darker than black extended out from the darkness, clenching on the bell and repairing it in an instant, slicing the furry golden paw inside of the bell.
The dark hand then lifted the bell and trapped the intruder’s atman in it before he could even escape.
“How courageous, a monkey monster and you dare speak of overturning the sky and earth?” A cold and gloomy voice suddenly resounded throughout the darkness.
