Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence
Chapter 326: The Return of the Killing Technique
Ghost Immortals, although ranking penultimate among the five realms of heaven, earth, mortals, spirits, and gods, surpassing only the divine immortals who depend on the titling by the Heavenly Court, are still undoubtedly part of the Immortal Realm. Once one steps into this realm, one has found the grand path to eternal life.
While Bull Head has a foundation comparable to that of a Heavenly Immortal, his actual cultivation realm is still within that of the Ghost Immortals due to the limitations imposed by the world itself, and even with all his methods, he could not possibly kill a Ghost Immortal with a single strike.
A sneak attack by Bull Head, using his own strength, could at most inflict severe injuries on the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal but would unlikely affect the overall situation.
Thus, after finalizing the strategy, Shen Yuan personally bestowed the "Extinguish" Imperial Edict, employing the Unimpeded Netherworld and Gods Purging divine powers, and sealed it inside a dagger.
When Bull Head inflicted a heavy wound on the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal with this dagger, he quietly planted the "Extinguish" Imperial Edict deep within the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal's True Spirit.
Normally, as a Ghost Immortal Realm powerful expert, the Nine Yin had every chance to detect the existence of the "Extinguish" Imperial Edict and could have extricated it before it penetrated deeply into his True Spirit to avoid harm.
But with Bull Head's sneak attack, revealing his identity, Shen Yuan entering the fray... a series of events distracted the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal, preventing him from submersing himself to perceive the presence of the edict.
It was only at the moment Shen Yuan made his move that the hidden crisis truly revealed itself in front of the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal—once the "Extinguish" Imperial Edict penetrated the True Spirit, the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal had no room whatsoever to resist.
The formation created by the three Ghost Immortals using Hell's tributary collapsed along with the sudden demise of the Nine Yin Ghost Immortal.
Facing Shen Yuan's Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power and suppression from his pantheon position, as he unleashed the Opening Heaven with Talisman Great Hand Print, the remaining two Ghost Immortals had no time to adjust their formation. The hand print descended as if bringing forth a world within which creation and destruction unfolded, shattering everything before it.
Billions of dead souls within Hell's tributary were annihilated in an instant, and the raging waters of Hell broke free from the river's constraints, flooding into every corner of Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Space inverted, the world collapsed, and the law bodies of the two Ghost Immortals shattered amidst the convergence of the Qi of heaven and earth, creating a massive pit at the bottom of Hell.
Not far off, the four Tao Harmony ghosts and demons fighting desperately under Bull Head's onslaught were momentarily stunned at the sight.
With the help of Hell's tributary, the three Ghost Immortals could withstand a Heavenly Immortal for a short time when working together, but in front of Shen Yuan, they were crushed by a single palm.
The fear initially suppressed by the Judge of Life and Death surged up once more, and before they could react, a wild and gruff laughter rang in their ears.
"Distracted while fighting me?"
A huge hand reached out from the void, grabbing the head of one of the Tao Harmony gods and demons.
With a forceful squeeze of his right hand, the head of the god or demon exploded, its Spirit Soul and True Spirit both obliterated by the black hand.
With one of the Tao Harmony gods and demons gone, Bull Head did not pursue the advantage. Instead, he looked towards Shen Yuan's aftermath, with undisguised shock in his eyes.
Bull Head had been well aware of Shen Yuan's true identity and cultivation level when he welcomed Shen Yuan into Fengdu City. In his view, Shen Yuan was restrained by some factors and couldn't recover his cultivation realm of his peak period.
"That being said, Your Majesty's cultivation progress is indeed too rapid, isn't it?
Perhaps before long, Your Majesty will be able to ascend to the true Peak again."
Excitement flickered in his eyes as Bull Head no longer harbored any doubts about the current invasion of Hell.
Looking at the three Ghost Immortals with a ferocious smile, Bull Head stepped forward and said loudly:
"All you need to do is die obediently!"
...
The two Ghost Immortals struggled to climb out from the pit, their law bodies now shattered, and even their Spirit Souls severely damaged by the brilliant light of opening heaven and earth.
Not far away, the Emperor's Carriage steadily approached them, its thundering wheels crossing the void, seemingly untouchable even by the turbulent, raging waters of Hell.
Wherever the Emperor's Carriage passed, the rules of Yomotsu Hirasaka, which were originally controlled by the three great Ghost Immortals, began to be rewritten and assimilated by it, and they were losing control of Yomotsu Hirasaka.
Such a method was even more terrifying to them than the Opening Heaven with Talisman Great Hand Print.
The two Ghost Immortals exchanged glances, both noticing the fear in each other's eyes as they communicated information in an instant.
"Run!"
Whether they used Hell's tributary to escape to the mortal world, returned to the Netherworld, or delayed time waiting for support from 10th Hall Yama, there was a glimmer of hope for survival.
On the contrary, facing the enemy head-on only led to a dead end.
The figures of the two Ghost Immortals suddenly faded without causing so much as a ripple in space, and in an instant, they had already fled far into the sky.
Even in their retreat, the two Ghost Immortals tacitly chose opposite directions, all in a gamble for that slim chance of survival.
"Run?"
A voice tinged with mockery emanated from the Emperor's Carriage, and Shen Yuan's eyes reflected the receding figures of the two Ghost Immortals, growing deeper and colder.
Without any divine power fluctuation, the two Ghost Immortals continued their flight across the firmament, but what met them was a magnificent sight beyond their comprehension.
The edge of the world of Yomotsu Hirasaka began to contract. The barriers of the world that were visible to the naked eye twisted, compressing towards the center.
In the eyes of the two Ghost Immortals, the entire Yomotsu Hirasaka was shrinking.
"What is this?"
An incomprehensible voice of terror escaped from the Ghost Immortals as they tried to break through the world barrier, but an intuitive feeling told them that touching the twisted barrier would bring about an unavoidable life-and-death crisis.
The two Ghost Immortals immediately turned around and flew towards the center of Yomotsu Hirasaka, but the warping of the world's barrier continued to spread, sweeping over Yomotsu Hirasaka like a tide.
