Chapter 455: Chapter 44: Measuring Yin and Yang, the Sea-Suppressing Pillar

The story returns to a few minutes earlier, above the skies of the Black Teeth Kingdom.

As fellow immortals, the battle between Kang Hui and Divine Monarch Mengzhang was destined to be a prolonged one.

When the waters of the East Sea began to swallow the coast, when that being with a human body and serpent tail let out a long howl toward the sky, everyone truly understood the meaning of despair.

Even Divine Monarch Mengzhang did not expect that even after rebirth, Kang Hui could still maintain such formidable power.

Relying on his undead nature, Kang Hui repeatedly unleashed powers that surpassed his own limits, only to recover in an instant.

This became more frequent after Kang Hui returned to his form from before his death.

At first, a single arm emerged...

Then appeared a fierce face with red beard and hair...

Next, Kang Hui’s muscular upper body gradually revealed itself amidst the raging storm...

Until finally, a serpent tail covered entirely in black scales, like the abyssal depths of the ocean, gradually manifested in the sky.

This was Kang Hui’s complete form, once the almighty Water God who ruled over the rivers.

——An iron face with curled whiskers, beard and hair vermilion, human body and serpent tail.

His mountain-like fists constantly pounded out.

The serpent tail moved with the agility of having its own will.

In merely a few breaths, Divine Monarch Mengzhang experienced Kang Hui’s might.

The God could hardly imagine the power Kang Hui possessed at the peak of his life.

"Unfortunately, I am stronger than you!"

A gleam of azure flashed in his pupils as Divine Monarch Mengzhang roared back, unwilling to concede.

Disregarding his own capacity, he gathered an almost terrifying amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in an instant.

The horns atop his head radiated a dazzling azure light at that moment.

Methods to surpass personal limits with an Undying Body could also be utilized by Divine Monarch Mengzhang.

Compared to Kang Hui, who lingered between life and death, Divine Monarch Mengzhang could achieve even more extremes.

"Roar!"

A loud dragon’s cry resounded throughout the surroundings, and thousands of thunderbolts descended from the sky.

Lightning coursed through his scales at will.

Suddenly shifting from defense to offense, Divine Monarch Mengzhang engaged with Kang Hui with a speed beyond compare.

The massive serpent tail and dragon body entwined with each other, water waves and lightning spewed from their mouths.

In merely an instant, the shockwaves from their fierce battle shattered the clouds within a thousand-mile radius.

Yet, this was precisely the effect Divine Monarch Mengzhang desired.

The Body-Protecting Gang Qi around him transformed into substance in an instant.

The lightning in his mouth turned into dragon’s breath and spewed forth.

Caught off guard, half of Kang Hui’s body was corroded, exposing ghastly bones, and his agile serpent tail was snapped into nearly a hundred segments.

As the scales from both sides fell like raindrops...

Even the Black Water Profound Snake and Red Snake, engaged in their own fierce combat, had to avoid the lethal vicinity.

However, just as Divine Monarch Mengzhang intended to go further, to send Kang Hui’s body completely back to the Underworld.

A sound of breaking, audible only to Divine Monarch Mengzhang, reached his ears, causing his whiskers to flutter and his eyes to flash with fury.

"Who!?"

Whirling his head suddenly towards the depths of the East Sea, Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s voice transformed into thunder and descended into the sea.

...........................

Deep in the East Sea, near the Nether Spring of the Underworld.

When fury transformed into thunder, when thunder fell into the ocean.

A golden barrier appeared for a split second, instantly causing monstrous waves.

And amidst these monstrous waves, a winged Feathered Serpent flew up from the seabed.

Next came a second, a third, a fourth...

These Feathered Serpents seemed to appear out of thin air, yet unerringly delineated the boundary of the golden barrier.

Even when struck by thunder, even when their bodies turned to charcoal...

These Feathered Serpents never forgot their mission, measuring the precise location of the Nether Spring of the Underworld time and time again with their lives.

"I am the Feathered Serpent God representing the sun!"

"How dare mere glimmers compete with the brilliance of the moon!"

In an unabashedly arrogant voice, Shaohao’s figure emerged in this region engulfed by thunder.

[You truly are insane!]

Almost simultaneously appearing in the Underworld corresponding to the depths of the East Sea, Ye Ming’s expression darkened even more.

[Forcibly breaking the barrier between the Yin and Yang Realms will only plunge both worlds into destruction.]

[The mortal world will be invaded by Yin Qi, life will gradually become extinct...]

[The Underworld will also be invaded by Yang Qi, souls will cease to exist...]

[What are you thinking? Why engage in such a world-ending act?]

Frankly speaking, this was what Ye Ming could least understand.

Whether in the mortal world or the Underworld, whether beings or spirits, none would willingly seek the destruction of both worlds.

Even the Celestial Emperor from ten thousand years ago, after successfully killing the reincarnation of the Lord of the Netherworld.

The God’s first reaction was to immediately correct His mistake, personally using the Fusang Tree to block the Nether Spring of the Underworld.

For ten thousand years thereafter, countless Gods and Demons discovered the Nether Spring of the Underworld, yet without exception, chose to suppress and seal it.

Only this Shaohao, standing before him, was different from any previous God or Demon.

"You call me insane, yet you attempt to understand a madman’s logic?"

With a mocking smile on his face, Shaohao casually retorted.

"The complete destruction of the Yin and Yang Realms will take at least tens of thousands of years, do you think I can live until then?"

"If so, then whether they’re destroyed has nothing to do with me." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"I only wish to correct my mistake, I only want to bring my people back to the mortal world!"

Before the words were fully spoken, Shaohao abruptly struck the golden barrier in front of him with a punch.

Clang!

In an instant, the piercing sound of metal rang across almost half the sea.

Against the backdrop of the golden brilliance.

A portion of the "Sea-Suppressing Pillar" appeared in Shaohao’s view.

It was a massive pillar, almost immeasurable by any data, its height equating to the entire ocean.

It was half in the mortal world, half in the Underworld.

Merely relying on the golden rings at either end to determine the position of Yin and Yang.

Thanks to this, the Nether Spring of the Underworld nearly achieved a "perfect seal."

Unless the seals of the Yin and Yang Realms were broken simultaneously, breaking this barrier by normal means was nearly impossible.

[Return to the mortal world? You’re dreaming!]

Upon understanding Shaohao’s determination, Ye Ming instantly shouted in anger.

Besides being a Celestial God, Shaohao was also the leader of a tribe, a Ghost God bound by obsession.

Many of his kin who had perished in battle with him were transformed into ghosts due to their lingering grievances.

Some Gods loyal to Shaohao even fell alongside him to become Ghost Gods.

What Shaohao intended now was to bring his people back to the mortal world, to restore past glory.

"Dreaming?"

Suddenly letting out a cold laugh, Shaohao looked directly at Ye Ming and murmured.

"Something prepared and assured, that’s no dream!"

As if in response to Shaohao’s words, a sudden explosion boomed from the Underworld without the slightest warning.
