149: Chapter 149 The Energy of the Six Paths of Reincarnation

Above the Tianyuan Arena, the voice of the eye of destiny carried a hint of rare tension.

[Myriad Demon World Initial Attack Intensity Assessment: Peak Rank Six · Limit.]

[Netherworld World Rule Barrier Endurance Assessment in progress...]

[Assessment Result: Critical Value.]

[Warning: This attack is close to the single-swallow limit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.]

Thirty-two trillion viewers held their breath.

On the viewing platform of Qinglin Province, Chu Kuangren suddenly stood up.

"Holy crap... Is Luo Qinghe crazy? Going all out right from the start?"

Chu Zhentian's finger finally fell, lightly tapping on the armrest.

"He's not crazy. He's afraid." His voice was very soft. "He's afraid Su Bai will use the Six Paths of Reincarnation to slowly swallow his attacks like he did against Bei Chenyao. So he's throwing all his power at once, wanting to burst the Six Paths of Reincarnation in one go."

"Can it be burst?" Chu Kuangren's voice was trembling.

Chu Zhentian didn't answer. He just looked at the greyish-white boundary on the light screen.

In the Netherworld World, in front of Ghost Gate Pass.

Su Bai watched the incoming seven-colored torrent with a calm expression.

The full-power strike of seven peak Rank Six demon beasts, plus the enhancement of demon energy from 5.7 million demon beasts—the intensity of this torrent had indeed approached the single-swallow limit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

If it were ten odd days ago, he might have really been pierced through by this strike.

But now.

"Glimmer-moss."

Su Bai softly uttered these three words.

Beneath the Netherworld World, the massive network woven from Glimmer-moss roots suddenly lit up.

Greyish-white light surged from the ground, passing through the Underworld Space, the Living World, Ghost Gate Pass, and the River of Oblivion, converging at the boundary of the Netherworld World.

In over ten days, the roots of the Glimmer-moss had already covered seventy percent of the Netherworld World's underground space. The total amount of stored Yin Crystals was equivalent to the Yin Qi converted from five hundred thousand points of Power Of Faith. At this moment, these Yin Crystals released their energy simultaneously, instantly doubling the concentration of Yin Qi in the Netherworld World.

The pillar of light from the Six Paths of Reincarnation rose from the world core, twice as thick and twice as bright as when fighting Bei Chenyao.

The greyish-white pillar of light collided with the seven-colored torrent.

There was no roar, no explosion.

Only swallowing.

The rule power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation was like a giant mouth, biting into the seven-colored torrent and beginning to decompose, digest, and absorb it. The Heavenly Demon Fox's charm mist was decomposed into the most primitive demon energy, the Earth Demon Bear's earth fire was eroded into ashes by Yin Qi, and the Mystic Demon Python's poison mist was purified into nothingness by the power of reincarnation.

Before the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the seven-colored torrent was like a river flowing into the ocean, swallowed up silently.

But this time, the Six Paths of Reincarnation didn't handle it as effortlessly as it had when swallowing the Star World.

The pillar of light was trembling.

The light wheels of the Six Paths of Reincarnation were spinning violently. The heavenly path, human path, Asura Path, animal path, hungry ghost path, and hell path—all six light wheels lit up to their limits. Rule power operated frantically, decomposing, converting, and storing the swallowed demon energy.

Three seconds.

Five seconds.

Seven seconds.

The seven-colored torrent was finally completely swallowed.

The pillar of light from the Six Paths of Reincarnation suddenly contracted, shrinking back into the depths of the world core. The light wheels were still spinning, but their speed had slowed down, as if digesting an overly lavish feast.

A tiny crack appeared on the boundary of the Netherworld World.

It wasn't broken; it was forced open.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation had swallowed power beyond its conventional load, causing a brief instability in the operation of rule power.

The crack was only as thick as a finger and existed for less than a second before being instantly repaired by the Yin Qi released by the Glimmer-moss.

But Luo Qinghe saw it.

He smiled.

"The swallowing of the Six Paths of Reincarnation has a limit." His voice was low like thunder. "Your rule power cannot swallow the full power of the Myriad Demon World."

He raised his hand, preparing to launch a second round of attacks.

But Su Bai wouldn't give him a second chance.

"City God."

Su Bai's voice rang out from the world core, calm as water.

"Present."

The City God's voice came from the City God Temple, steady as a bell. He sat behind his desk, his deep brown eyes looking at the wild continent across from him where demon energy surged to the sky, the seal of the city god held in his hand.

"Can you judge the souls of demon beasts?"

The corners of the City God's mouth curled up slightly.

"If it is guilty, the Yin Bureau can judge it."

"If it's not guilty... it's impossible for it not to be guilty."

He stood up, stepped down the ninety-nine steps, walked out of the City God Temple's gate, and stepped onto the Soul Capturing Platform.

The giant character for 'Command' in the center of the Soul Capturing Platform erupted with blood-red light the moment the City God stepped onto it. That light complemented the deep blue official robes on the City God and resonated with the rule power within the seal of the city god.

The City God raised the seal of the city god, and the four characters on the seal's face burst with blinding golden light.

"The Yin Bureau commands: all demons shall stand trial."

Golden light surged from the seal of the city god, turning into a golden screen of light that spread from the Soul Capturing Platform, passing through Ghost Gate Pass, the River of Oblivion, and the boundary of the Netherworld World, enveloping the Myriad Demon World.

Luo Qinghe's smile froze.

"What is that?"

He felt that the golden screen of light was not an attack or a defense, but some kind of power he had never seen before.

Power of Judgment.

The light screen enveloped the forward positions of the Myriad Demon World, covering the three hundred thousand tiger demons at the very front.

The bodies of the tiger demons suddenly stiffened.

They felt a pair of eyes watching them. It wasn't Su Bai's eyes, nor the City God's eyes, but some older, more fundamental eyes.

The eyes of rules.

The eyes of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Those eyes were scrutinizing their souls, examining everything from their birth to the present. Every slaughter, every swallowing, every drop of innocent blood, every living being they had torn apart.

The guilty were marked.

The innocent were spared.

All three hundred thousand tiger demons were marked.

Golden chains descended from the light screen, binding the marked tiger demons. The chains pierced through their bodies and bound their souls, dragging out their sins one by one to manifest in the void.

Above the head of each tiger demon, a line of golden text appeared.

[Tiger Demon · No. 3721, swallowed 1,237 innocent beings, heavy sins, sentenced to hell path · Tongue-Pulling Hell, term of 300 years.]

[Tiger Demon · No. 5728, tore apart 46 younglings, heavy sins, sentenced to hell path · Scissors Hell, term of 500 years.]

[Tiger Demon · No. 8912, ...]

Line after line of text appeared in the void, dense and numerous, like golden stars filling the sky.

The tiger demons bound by chains began to struggle, their claws tearing at the chains, their fangs biting the golden light. But the City God's Power of Judgment was not a physical restraint but a judgment on the level of rules. The chains bound their souls, not their bodies. No matter how sharp the claws, they could not tear their own souls.

The souls of the tiger demons were forcibly stripped from their bodies and dragged toward the Netherworld World.

Their bodies lost their souls and collapsed like empty shells, eroded by Yin Qi, turning into greyish-white powder and dissipating into the void.
