Chapter 11 She Broke the Law

Boom! The aura of the Yellow Springs death energy converged, and the Yellow Springs Great God wanted to use it to make Ji Xiang retreat. However, to her surprise, Ji Xiang didn't move, and his hand snatched away her Ama-no-Nuhoko (Heavenly Jeweled Spear)!

Under the gaze of the Yellow Springs Great God, all the death energy rushed towards Ji Xiang, but was immediately annihilated by a power of the Dharma Realm!

"The weather is clear and clean, it is brightness itself."

Hearing this voice, the Yellow Springs Great God didn't care about anything else. In an instant, she was surrounded by clouds of a thousand skeletons. The next moment, the Ama-no-Nuhoko that had been snatched away was wielded by the other party, launching a thunderous blow against her! According to legend, this spear was used to create the heavens and the earth. Stirring the sea with the spear, and then lifting it, the dripping seawater transformed into islands and land.

But now, the power had been seized by the other party. The artifact that should have been hers was now being wielded against her!

The power of this divine weapon was the ability to separate chaos and transform what it pierced; that is, to turn life into death, to turn yin into yang, to turn the sea into land!

If it pierced the living, the living would become the dead, unable to return to the yang world! If it pierced the dead, the dead would become the living, and would be completely eroded by the power of the underworld in one breath!

The eyes of the Yellow Springs Great God were filled with terror. She sensed that her body was beginning to decay, and this was not merely a sign that the Yellow Springs cold was beginning to invade her!

As a dead elder, her lifespan was eternally unchanging, because she was originally someone whom Xu Fu had pulled back from the brink of death. Her yang lifespan had only a little remaining. When she was aging, she inherited the position of the Yellow Springs deity.

All the years that followed were yin lifespans. But if she were to become living, the years that had been frozen would return to her in one breath. The yin lifespan would be reduced to nothing, and the remaining bit of yang lifespan would be unable to withstand the backlash of the Yellow Springs power!

"Uwa, wa!"

The flesh on her body had already begun to rot violently. In terror, she activated the power of her divine position. The power of the Yellow Springs Great God sheltered her, and she retreated in fear. But Ji Xiang did not take advantage of the situation to pursue her. Words appeared in his eyes.

[Ama-no-Nuhoko: Divine Artifact! Point the spear down and stir the seawater, causing the sea to roar when lifted.]

[Originally owned by Izanagi and Izanami! Possesses a Primordial Divine Power!]

[Primordial Divine Power: Primordial Transformation! Turns yin into yang, ghost into human, life into death, sea into land, heaven into earth, transforming the existence of things into their opposite. But it can only affect the same target once. The effect is permanent after the transformation, and the subsequent state of the effect depends on the length of time the target is pierced.]

[It is a divine artifact forged from Primordial Dust in ancient times. This object is indestructible! If a method can be found to refine and melt it, two kinds of primordial substances from the creation of heaven and earth can be obtained: Primordial Dust and Chaotic Qi.]

"Interesting."

Ji Xiang looked up. The Yellow Springs Great God had already disappeared, fleeing into the darkness, seemingly giving up the fight.

Only the surrounding Yellow Springs death energy still lingered, telling Ji Xiang that she had not gone far, but was secretly watching every change here with a venomous gaze.

"Aiya, I plan to come here often in the future to absorb the yin and cold energy of the Yellow Springs. If I don't kill you, it looks like my next visit here won't be easy."

I feel that one should be kind and benevolent, even towards these ghosts, even if some of them were killed by me. But I think that since a person is dead, their soul should rest in peace, and then return to the yin and yang of heaven and earth, becoming a part of the great cycle again.

"Instead of being imprisoned and transformed into restless spirits."

"A person lives in the world for a hundred years at most, and life is uncertain from morning till night, with death outnumbering life. To suffer this kind of torment after death is truly a sin."

The eyes of the Yellow Springs Great God were full of resentment, deaf to Ji Xiang's words, even making grinding and blood-sucking sounds:

"You seized my divine artifact, destroyed millions of Yellow Springs soldiers, caused the entire Yellow Springs to be shaken, and even cut off the inheritance of the way of ghosts and gods! I won't let you off so easily. The gate to the Yellow Springs has been closed by me, and you can't get out."

"I can't kill you, but don't even think about returning to the human world. You will be buried in the cold and deathly torrent of the Yellow Springs... Whether it's a hundred years or a thousand years, your magic power will eventually run out."

"Although the Ama-no-Nuhoko is powerful, it has already been used on the Yellow Springs. That was when I held it, so don't think about using this spear to escape the Yellow Springs. It's useless."

"As the master of the Yellow Springs, even if I can't beat you, can't I trap you here?"

The Yellow Springs Great God was full of confidence. She was confident that she could exhaust Ji Xiang to death. Although she had been stabbed by the Ama-no-Nuhoko and almost "lived," with the divine position of the Yellow Springs Great God as her support, she could use the power of the Yellow Springs to suppress her living state, thereby prolonging her life, and waiting for Xu Fu's next blessing.

But her thoughts soon turned from complacency to annoyance and doubt.

What annoyed her was that Ji Xiang was still talking eloquently. Clearly he heard her voice, but he still didn't take it seriously, turning a deaf ear.

What she doubted was that Ji Xiang still didn't look flustered at all. Even his tone didn't fluctuate. Given the strange ability he had just used, the Yellow Springs Great God felt that she should observe a little longer.

"What I said before... was all from my personal feelings."

"But if we speak from a greater perspective."

Ji Xiang finally finished his long speech, thousands of words, and all the preambles to the crusade converged into one sentence.

"You broke the law."

The Yellow Springs Great God laughed, letting out a resentful laugh that she couldn't help but stifle. It was probably similar to the wild laughter of a wicked woman. "You can't even protect yourself, and you're thinking of punishing me? Even if I have violated the laws of heaven and earth, what can you do to me? Besides, you are not a person of my Japan. A foreigner dares to call himself the heaven!"

"What do you think you are!"

The Yellow Springs Great God's arrogant ridicule was met by Ji Xiang's wriggling lips, and a thunderous voice:

"I am not a thing."

"I am the law."

As soon as the words finished, a shocking demonic aura rose up, and for a time, the voices of eighty thousand heavenly demons echoed endlessly in this Yellow Springs realm.

"Your actions have already reversed the way of heaven and earth. You are both a land god, an evil god, a nether god, and a ghost god. Thus, four gods, and thus according to the Heavenly Law..."

"Those land gods who collude with heretical ghost gods, those evil gods who call out to people in the air with false voices, those underworld officials who do not eliminate sins and record births for the dead, those ghost gods who presumptuously seize the souls of living people and destroy the law and disobey respect. All four sins shall be punished together!"

"斩! (Zhan! Decapitate!)"

On Ji Xiang's body, a huge celestial form rose from the ground. The Guǎng Dù Chén Lún (Universally Deliver from Sinking) Celestial reached out to a dark place!

With just a pull, a large expanse of darkness was grabbed out with his bare hands, torn from nothingness. The Yellow Springs Great God was captured by the Guǎng Dù Chén Lún Celestial like a giant spirit capturing a dragon, and he was about to crush her alive here! This was the power of "transcending hell"!
