The earth explored, the sky also descended, mountains and rivers collapsed and hells were destroyed!
A giant abyss appeared below, and it continued to expand. Heaven and earth were inverted; this was Wang Tianhou devouring! The abyss below was its throat!
"So, a monstrous beast called Hou, with a world within its mouth... is it eating its way up from one hell to another? Are the hells below all inside its belly?"
Ji Xiang muttered to himself, but when Bi Xia Yuan Jun heard it, her expression changed drastically.
"What, what did you say!"
Having a world within its mouth, forming a realm, was something Bi Xia Yuan Jun had never even heard of, let alone the monster Hou!
On her pretty face, in addition to the gloom, fear gradually spread. Even as a pure Yang body, she felt her internal Yang energy decrease with just this sentence.
But soon, she discovered that the decrease in Yang energy was not her imagination.
It was actually happening!
"My Yang energy is draining, how is this possible! I am a body without leakage, a pure Yang immortal body, my essence and spirit float in the azure sky, my blood and qi are as abundant as lakes and seas, how can my Yang energy be stolen!"
As a cultivator in the Pure Yang realm, poised to enter the Sun Refining stage at any moment, she was a peak force in the mortal world. In cultivation, she was known as a "quasi-immortal," having reached the end of the path to Earth Immortal, just one step away from becoming a true immortal.
Pure Yang meant refining all Yin energy from the body. The entire human body was like a solidified mass of Yang energy, indestructible. In the mortal world, almost nothing could break it. Even in hell, a Pure Yang cultivator would emit thousands of rays of light, illuminating the darkness. Their potent Yang energy could even dissolve many ghosts, scattering their souls like ice and snow meeting sunlight.
Therefore, the situation of Yang energy loss, a "body leakage" that seemed to occur only in low-level cultivators, would never happen to the "leakage-free body" of the Pure Yang realm!
"Let's go quickly! I have the Taishan Sedan, which can enter and exit realms, penetrate hell, and break all barriers!"
Bi Xia Yuan Jun knew that the two of them could not stay in this "Oil Pot Hell" any longer. Just as she was about to grab Ji Xiang and escape together, she unfurled her large sleeve, and a magnificent imperial carriage appeared before her. However, when she turned her head, she found that Ji Xiang was gone.
Instead, he was moving towards the depths of the collapsing hell!
"Northern Pole True Person! What are you doing!"
Bi Xia Yuan Jun completely failed to understand Ji Xiang's suicidal behavior. She was truly anxious, so she mounted the Taishan Sedan and was about to drive after him, but was surprised by a shocking scene.
Ji Xiang's Yang energy surged, and the surrounding dense Yin and deathly energy surged towards him, intending to strip away his Sun Refining power. Unexpectedly, Ji Xiang opened his mouth, and all that Yin and deathly energy was swallowed whole by him!
Boom!
His blood and qi surged, and all the Yin energy was absorbed. The deathly and foul energy within the Yin energy was firmly controlled by Ji Xiang. He then spewed out a stream of black smoke, which shot straight to the bottom of the abyss!
"Compared to the cold energy of the Eastern Yellow Springs, this Yin energy is still too weak!"
Although Wang Tianhou was a monstrous beast that had never appeared in previous eras, it was far weaker than Japan's Eastern Yellow Springs. While it was also a realm, its level was vastly different.
Not to mention comparing it with the Root Country or the Crow Cry Country. Perhaps it was even inferior to a major hell.
However, on second thought.
The power this monster displayed was already astonishing.
"Bi Xia Yuan Jun, retreat! I have taken immortal medicine, and this Yin energy cannot harm me at all; it is like my food! You cannot resist it, so leave quickly!"
Ji Xiang turned his head and saw Bi Xia Yuan Jun driving her carriage as if to take him away. He quickly shouted, telling Bi Xia Yuan Jun to turn back, or it would be too late.
Indeed, as the surrounding Yin energy dispersed, Wang Tianhou began to stir. Heaven and earth closed in at an even faster pace. Seeing that Ji Xiang had no intention of turning back, Bi Xia Yuan Jun turned her carriage and shouted down:
"If you die, I will report to His Majesty and erect a shrine for you. If your wish miraculously lingers, perhaps there will be a day of return!"
After she finished speaking, she drove away. Wang Tianhou seemed to want to stop her from leaving. The distorted mountain peaks finally revealed their fanged appearance, as if to sever heaven and earth and lock her in. Unexpectedly, the Taishan Sedan was covered in radiant light, forming a floating cloud bridge, opening a grand path in the midst of heaven and earth, and flying directly out!
"Roar!"
A giant roar shook the entire universe. Bi Xia Yuan Jun left this false Oil Pot Hell and successfully escaped back to the upper world. Ji Xiang remained in the collapsing realm. Wang Tianhou could not continue to devour upwards because, without eliminating the controller within the realm, it could not devour the power of the realm itself.
After Tian Luo Wang and the others eliminated several minor hell controllers, it devoured those controllers, thereby gaining the ability to erode their realms.
"You can't go up anymore, so you can stay here."
Ji Xiang watched Bi Xia Yuan Jun leave, finding himself alone. He sensed all directions and called out Tian Luo Wang's name.
"Are there any Yin Court immortals present?"
No one responded.
However, with such a great commotion, cultivators from the Yin Court would soon be attracted from the lower worlds. After calling out three times without a response, Wang Tianhou's upper and lower jaws were about to close completely. Heaven and earth seemed to merge into one. Mountains stood in dense formations, interweaving with each other. Rivers boiled, and the flipping of its scarlet tongue caused the world to tremble.
Heaven and earth merged into one.
Heaven and earth suddenly exploded!
The mountain peaks that had transformed into fangs collapsed, and large patches of flesh were lifted from the scarlet tongue, leaving huge scars on heaven and earth. Blood poured out, turning into a rain of blood that sprinkled the realm!
Under the scarlet blood filling the sky, Ji Xiang's power surged, and the power of a nation manifested!
With the power of a nation, his magical power reached a level capable of easily killing a Flying Immortal. This power caused the entire world within Wang Tianhou's mouth to distort. All phenomena collapsed into torrents, and Ji Xiang's blood, qi, magical power, and divine power all surged instantly.
A giant Heavenly Venerate image appeared in the air!
Guang Du Chen Lun Heavenly Venerate!
The Great Heavenly Venerate raised his hand, bestowing the power to "Uplift Hell," and simultaneously, a small sword flew out. Under the augmentation of the Dharma image, it transformed into a giant form!
Da Liang Jian!
The sword qi was sharp and roared thunderously. With the augmentation of national power, the power of Da Liang Jian increased. Ji Xiang held Da Liang Jian and thrust it towards the abyss within Wang Tianhou's mouth!
A sword pressure that pierced mountains and rivers and shattered the earth, following the beast's throat, struck directly at the numerous hells below!
The abyss twisted, and a beam of light seemed to flash within it. Ji Xiang's gaze narrowed. Without hesitation, the Heavenly Venerate image immediately reached down, unleashing the power of "Uplift Hell"!
...
Heaven and earth shook!
The Yin world suddenly trembled. The place that resembled a dreamlike city of the mortal world, the black "Lower Taishan," landed there.
"Wang Tianhou... the thing above has been discovered! The mortal Bi Xia Yuan Jun sensed it?"
"It couldn't be her, she doesn't have such powerful abilities. Emperor Dongyue is in our hands, and Lord Taishan is in Japan. Are you saying Japan won the Korean War and came to the Central Plains? How is that possible? Japan has already been defeated!"
"Then who is this power?"
Tian Luo Wang was the first to sense this change, and he was somewhat shocked. Then, Tian Zun and Guang Yao Shou Sheng Tian Zun also sensed the changes above heaven and earth. The hell below was already experiencing cataclysmic events, and then, the entire Great Yin World heard Wang Tianhou's screams!
Afterward, the sky suddenly collapsed upwards, and all the incense and offerings in the Yin world converged towards a single point above the universe. Guang Yao Shou Sheng Tian Zun's face changed drastically!
"This distortion... someone is pulling up hell! This power comes from the mortal world, and the one with such ability in the mortal world is...!"
Guang Yao Shou Sheng Tian Zun wanted to say Ji Xiang, but he hesitated.
Ji Xiang was indeed powerful and capable of fighting opponents across realms, but no matter how powerful, he was not at the Heavenly Heart realm. With all his magical powers and techniques unleashed, he could at most kill a Flying Immortal. Was pulling up hell something he could do?
Even immortals did not possess such ability!
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of something collapsing, a huge and chaotic shaking, caused the Great Yin World to tremble in unison!
"No matter who it is above, they must not be allowed to pull away the eighteen hells. Once a layer of the eighteen hells is lost, it will be extremely difficult to construct and fill it. Our time to return to the orthodox mortal realm will be greatly delayed!"
"Activate the divine power of Dongyue and stabilize the hells!"
