Chapter 456: Chapter 204: 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power_2
The Spirit Soul had already suffered damage that had affected his very core, and the backlash from the shattered Karmic Mirror further aggravated his injuries.
The agonized screams of countless lost souls and supernatural beings within the kingdom of Hell became intangible chains of karmic energy that entangled around him.
As the steward of the Netherworld Treasure, the shattering of the Karmic Mirror constituted dereliction of duty for Qinguang King, and the backlash from the Divinity Path, the damage to the Spirit Soul’s origin, and the effect of the karmic shackles, were causing Qinguang King’s realm to slowly descend back to the Major Heavenly Immortal Realm.
This was the flaw of incense offering deities; as incense offering deities, most of their realm came from the enhancement of the Divinity Path’s rules.
Should their divine authority be compromised, their realm could also be at risk of instability.
A powerful expert who ascended to the Golden Immortal Stage through their own cultivation and profound understanding of the Dao, could retain the Golden Immortal Stage even if only a wisp of their spirit remained.
“No! Impossible!”
“How could I, the foremost among the 10th Hall Yamas, fall from the Golden Immortal Stage over such a trivial matter!”
Qinguang King’s eyes were bloodshot as he flew up into the sky.
The other five Yamas looked towards Qinguang King with shock, their eyes carrying traces of barely discernible sympathy.
Among the Yamas of the ten Halls, only Qinguang King had the privilege of managing the Netherworld Treasure, a fact that had long made the other Yamas envious.
It was for this reason that Qinguang King had been able to maintain his position as the first among the Yamas.
No one had anticipated that the Karmic Mirror, a Netherworld Treasure, would shatter during the invasion of the Primal Chaos Realm, striking directly at Qinguang King’s foundation.
The other Yamas were already quite annoyed by the damage to their Spirit Souls and had wanted to demand an explanation from Qinguang King.
Yet seeing the dire straits that Qinguang King had fallen into, the other Yamas’ minds immediately calmed to an extent.
“At least there’s Qinguang King and Samsara King at the bottom, suffering a bit of Spirit Soul damage isn’t a big deal.”
This thought flashed through the minds of the other Yamas.
At this moment, Qinguang King, who had flown into the sky, was heading in the direction of the 10th Hall, engulfed in the flames of karma.
An immense tide of karmic energy immediately drew vast amounts of karmic fire to Qinguang King, the blazing red karmic fire ignored Qinguang King’s protective Divine Skills, repeatedly scorching his flesh—the agony of being burnt by karmic fire, from which not even the Yamas of the ten Halls were spared.
In the past, Qinguang King had relied on the powerful aspect of the karmic fire, which ignored realm boundaries to suppress many formidable enemies; he never thought he would one day suffer from the burning of karmic fire himself.
In just a few breaths’ time, Qinguang King had reached the sky above the 10th Hall.
With the Samsara King already perished in the Primal Chaos Realm, one of the ten Yamas’ places was vacant, meaning that a portion of the divine authority of Hell had also been freed.
Originally, Qinguang King’s intent was to use this portion of divine authority to cultivate a new Yama, but now the balance of the Dao had been disrupted due to the shattered Karmic Mirror, affecting his foundation, leaving him with no mood to cultivate a new Yama.
Qinguang King’s purpose here was singular—that was to devour Samsara King’s authority to supplement his own and stabilize his realm.
With a wave of his robe, the scattered divine authority within the 10th Hall began to rapidly converge, ultimately transforming into a greatly diminished phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Holding the Six Paths of Reincarnation phantom, Qinguang King opened his mouth wide and without hesitation, swallowed it into his belly, and the speed of his realm’s decline was momentarily alleviated.
The sight of Qinguang King devouring Samsara King’s authority was witnessed by the five Yamas, all of whom felt a chill of fear.
Having preliminarily refined the authority, Qinguang King did not attend to the additional Samsara authority within his body.
Feeling that while the decline of his realm had been curbed, there was still a risk of falling back to the Major Heavenly Immortal Realm, Qinguang King with bloodshot eyes, said:
“Not enough!”
His gaze suddenly fell on the five Yamas within the ruins of the First Hall, immediately prompting their guard.
But after merely glancing at them, Qinguang King turned his attention to another direction—that was the palace of the King of Five Senses, the fourth of the ten Yamas.
In Qinguang King’s eyes, to rashly strike against the five Yamas in the ruins of the First Hall would surely provoke the resistance of all the Yamas.
Now having lost the Netherworld Treasure and with Chujiang King also at the Golden Immortal Stage, it was not wise to incur the wrath of many.
On the contrary, the King of Five Senses, who originally schemed in the Netherworld but had suddenly retreated, stood alone and at odds with the other Yamas, making him the most appropriate target.
Realizing this, a sharp call from Qinguang King echoed in front of the fourth Hall.
“King of Five Senses, come out!”
The King of Five Senses in the fourth Hall, who had just dispersed a portion of the Spirit Soul’s light, retracted his thoughts and looked solemnly towards the sky where Qinguang King was surrounded by karmic flames.
“May I ask what guidance Qinguang King has for me?”
The King of Five Senses bowed with clasped hands, asking coldly.
Qinguang King let out a cold sneer and angrily questioned, “All seven of us Yamas entered the Primal Chaos Realm and suffered heavy losses, with Samsara King even perishing as a result.
Yet you, as the fourth among the ten Yamas, remained uninvolved in the affair. I have good reason to suspect you’ve long been in collusion with the Fengdu Emperor of the Primal Chaos Realm, sabotaging our plan.”
The King of Five Senses’ pupils contracted imperceptibly, and a shock ran through his heart: “How does he know about these things?”
However, after that, the King of Five Senses noticed Qinguang King’s gradually falling realm and the aura of the Samsara authority, and after glancing in the direction of the 10th Hall, he understood that Qinguang King was framing him.
Feeling a secret relief, an indignant look appeared on the face of the King of Five Senses:
“You’re fabricating a crime where there is none to be had.”
“After swallowing the authority of the Samsara King, now you cast aspirations at mine. I have reason to suspect it is you who plotted against the Samsara King to steal his authority!”
