Chapter 458: Chapter 205 Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power_1
Shen Yuan had no way of knowing the extent of upheaval that the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power’s return to the kingdom of Hell had caused.
At this moment, he was completely immersed in the shock brought on by the 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
In fact, Shen Yuan previously believed that there was an almost qualitative gap between the Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers—the difference between the multitude of Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers and the last of the Heavenly General Divine Powers, the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, was clearly evident.
Strictly speaking, even the Gods Purging Divine Power’s control over the Incense Offering Divinity Path was fundamentally far inferior to that of the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power.
The real strength of the Gods Purging Divine Power lay in the countless eons of layout by the Heavenly Court, the predominant force across all realms.
It is through the Jade Emperor and Four Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court’s campaigns across the realms and slaughtering countless innate deities that the Incense Offering Divinity Path became the mainstream path in all realms.
Depending on the spread of the Incense Offering Divinity Path across the realms, the Heavenly Court successfully nurtured the Eight Bureaus of Heavenly Court and several Divinity Path Emperors with formidable influence over the vast desolate lands and the six harmonies.
Without the countless eons of layout by the Heavenly Court, the Gods Purging Divine Power could at best control wild mountain and abandoned deities, City Gods, local deities, and the like, but could never have reached the level it has today.
The ranks of the 72 Earthly Destroyer Divine Powers have been set for countless eons and wouldn’t change with the strength of the path each Divine Power represents; in Shen Yuan’s eyes, the Gods Purging Divine Power likely had already surpassed the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power.
It was precisely because he was very clear about this that Shen Yuan always had certain doubts about the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, which was heralded as the 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
Especially after personally killing the Samsara King with the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, Shen Yuan became even more aware that the true essence of the Heavenly General Divine Power was something far beyond the reach of any Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
However, when Shen Yuan truly encountered the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, designated as the 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, he realized his own superficial understanding.
What the Unimpeded Netherworld represents is the direct path to the very source of the Netherworld!
Having a monopoly on the source of the Netherworld Path nearly meant that as long as Shen Yuan could unite the myriad of supernatural beings in the kingdom of Hell and streamline the order of the kingdom of Hell, he would inevitably ascend to Highest Heaven and become the true ruler of the Netherworld, the Netherworld Emperor.
At that time, Shen Yuan would be the one to replace the Lord of Mount Tai, who once governed the kingdom of Hell.
This is a path with a bright future, an unsurpassed Netherworld Path.
Compared to the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, even the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power seemed inferior by a few degrees.
Because the path of Curse Killing Path that the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power represents is too narrow, though it has the opportunity to kill the Highest Heaven Emperors, one can’t rely on this path to achieve the status of a Highest Heaven Emperor.
Moreover, the Curse Killing Path comes with heavy karmic consequences, making it difficult for successive masters of the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power to reach the peak stage.
Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power truly disregarded the gap between Heavenly General and Earthly Destroyer, reaching the level that could really counter the Heavenly General Great Divine Power.
Even the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Divine Power that Shen Yuan possessed pales in terms of potential when compared to the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power.
After all, all beings across the realms experience death, and all living creatures will enter the dark Hell.
By contrast, the Path of Refining Elemental Qi has declined and is no longer as prosperous as it was in the Ancient Era.
The only thing that Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power lacks compared to Heavenly General Great Divine Power may just be the uniqueness across all worlds.
“The 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, truly lives up to its reputation!”
Shen Yuan couldn’t help but express his sentiments aloud.
He indeed did many things within Fengdu City, but compared to the gains from the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power, they hardly seemed to matter.
With stars flickering in his eyes, Shen Yuan sorted through this hidden quest trigger point named ruler of the Netherworld, trying to deduce the operating logic of the Artificial Intelligence System.
“Under normal circumstances, pacifying the chaos in the Netherworld and cunningly killing a Yama and six Netherworld Commanders is indeed enough to shake the Primal Chaos Realm, yet it’s far from the level required to obtain the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power.”
Shen Yuan silently mused to himself.
He was well aware that the Unimpeded Netherworld Divine Power could almost symbolize the entire kingdom of Hell; it was too important to be granted for actions dating back eons before, even with the deeds he had done.
In such a case, the achievement described as “Kill the 10 Netherworld Commanders and 10th Hall Yamas, destroy the Netherworld Treasure, carve out a dominion of the Netherworld and establish a separate kingdom of Hell, attracting billions of supernatural beings to worship” actually contains a lot of exaggeration.
Six of the 10 Netherworld Commanders were slain by Shen Yuan, and the remaining four submitted to his command, so the claim of subjugation is somewhat true.
However, Shen Yuan only killed one Samsara King among the Yamas, and apart from the already fallen Song Emperor, the rest of the Yamas only suffered partial Spirit Soul damage.
The Chujiang King and King Yama, upon their descent, were rejected by two Netherworld Commanders and returned to the kingdom of Hell with their Spirit Souls damaged.
Qinguang King had parts of his Spirit Soul extinguished by Shen Yuan, and the Spirit Souls of the City King, Equality King, and Biancheng King were all fed to the Karmic Mirror.
Even the duplicitous King of Five Senses merely suffered some covert damage to his Spirit Soul.
It’s true that the 10th Hall Yamas suffered some losses, but it’s far from the extent of subjugating all Yamas.
What Shen Yuan actually did was expel these Yamas from the Primal Chaos Realm, preventing them from descending again.
If we were to rewind eons prior, the 10th Hall Yamas could descend without any concerns, but now, due to the effects of the Great Schism, they’re unable to descend, which in a way can be considered suppressing the Yamas back into the kingdom of Hell.
As for the word “kill,” it’s entirely due to the unfortunate Samsara King being slain by Shen Yuan, and combined with the other factors it became “subjugated the 10th Hall Yamas.”
Destroying the Netherworld Treasure and attracting the worship of billions of supernatural beings are indeed true, but not sufficient to earn the 1st Earthly Destroyer Divine Power.
“The real key point actually lies in the Netherworld!”
Shen Yuan’s eyes flashed with an enigmatic light.
