Chapter 797: 277. Celestial Guard’s Mad Soldier, Nine Yin and Nine Yang (7.6K words - Major Chapter, Subscription Requested)

Purple Cloud Heaven, Sea of Suffering, boundless and endless, like a muddled gray mirror, each strand of murkiness is either a Celestial Demon or a Netherworld life form. They wander, search...

From time to time, one can still see gray rain falling from the sky. These are powerful Celestial Demons launched from the Great Thousand Worlds.

These Celestial Demons might encounter a "Star Domain Vortex" like gravitational pull when transmigrating through the Fourth Layer, thus reaching this so-called "Fifth Layer," the Sea of Suffering in Purple Cloud Heaven, becoming rain.

Every drop of rain is at least at the peak of Divinity Transformation, entities comparable to the Fire Demon Dragon.

They have spent countless efforts to elevate themselves to the pinnacle of a world, dominating the heavens, but here... they are merely the lowest tier.

Drip!

Another drop of "rain" fell into the Sea of Suffering, materializing into a human-like skeleton with eyes burning in Karmic Fire.

This is a Celestial Demon of the Profound Yellow First Realm, combined with a Netherworld life form, in the outside world referred to as the Karmic Fire Mo Luo.

"Where is this place?"

The Karmic Fire Mo Luo surveyed the surroundings, eyes reflecting contemplation, while Divine Thought and Divine Soul swiftly communicated.

"I have never heard of such a place below the Fourth Layer of the Sea of Suffering."

"Could it be that I’ve been swept into the Star Domain Vortex?"

"Possible... It’s said the Star Domain Vortex forcibly drags people into the Nine Heavens, yet I’ve never heard of such in the Sea of Suffering."

"No matter, we know little. Perhaps this place always existed within the Sea of Suffering, and we were just unaware. Let’s first explore the surroundings; such a higher-layer world must possess stronger Life Energy, which could be our opportunity."

The Karmic Fire Mo Luo began to investigate, recognizing many similar beings that couldn’t "devour each other," realizing they might very well be in the Purple Cloud Heaven of the Nine Heavens’ first layer, and opted to form alliances.

They hunted weaker peers of the "same sequence" over the Sea of Suffering, devouring to grow stronger, while also seeking an "Entrance to the Tumor Realm."

Infiltrating worlds through the "Tumor Realm," plundering and devouring the living, was a skill they had mastered.

Time and again, venturing, surviving mortal dangers, and battling, made them stronger, until one day they reached an uncharted region.

A blue sea.

Amidst the gray Sea of Suffering, this blue spot shone like a gem.

No Celestial Demon could imagine such a place existed within the Sea of Suffering, not even the Karmic Fire Mo Luo.

Instinctively feeling opportunity, he and his companions approached the edge of the blue sea, scanning it with Divine Sense, and witnessed an unbelievable scene.

On the blue vast sea, a figure sat beneath a red flower resembling an infernal dusk, eyes serenely closed, unmoving in tranquility.

The moment the Karmic Fire Mo Luo saw the figure, it raised a hand, and a great hand descended from the Void.

"Run!"

The Karmic Fire Mo Luo shouted.

It was confident, capable of fleeing thousands of miles in an instant.

However, it quickly realized it could no longer move, miraculously held in place, and the surrounding world had transformed into an utterly unfamiliar space...

The figure plucked the Karmic Fire Mo Luo and its companions like picking a flower, instantly dismantling, transforming them into Demon Bodies, making a wish, and giving them to the little white hand.

The sea water turned a little more azure.

Song Yan withdrew his hand.

He had already mastered the power of the Profound Yellow Four Realms.

The boundary between Fake God and True God is indeed very clear.

When he envelops a target with power, everything about it "freezes," as the environment thoroughly alters and the rules it relies on are utterly overturned.

The descent of the True Domain is akin to a world where one’s self is the only True God confronting you.

Song Yan used that hand, which had just killed many Celestial Demons, to neaten the little girl’s hair beside him.

The pale girl, like a porcelain doll, leaned against him, pouting and murmuring, "So dumb, so dumb, I’m really so dumb."

Song Yan shook his head, smiled, and said, "This isn’t dumb."

Po Xu Yuzhuang said, "Then it’s very dumb."

Song Yan said, "I’ll tell you the reason."

Po Xu Yuzhuang immediately sat up straight, listening attentively.

Song Yan said, "If you spent a hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands of years comprehending, yet haven’t discerned your Lifebound Talisman Character and haven’t broken through the Profound Yellow Realm, then you’re dumb.

But now, you’ve already spent over a billion years in total.

Over a billion years without insight, yet not stagnating, gaining each time, having realizations yet unable to comprehend the complete Lifebound Talisman Character... this can only indicate one thing."

He looked gently at the little Yuzhuang, smoothing the neatly arranged hair, and said, "If you want to pluck a flower, just bend down, it’ll only take a few moments; but if you’re trying to pluck a star from the sky, you’ll need enduring effort."

Po Xu Yuzhuang, half-understanding, half-doubtful, said, "Am I trying to pluck a star?"

Since Song Yan viewed that "Gate of the Netherworld" and encountered a great crisis while sketching it himself, he had vaguely guessed what Po Xu Yuzhuang’s Lifebound Talisman Character was and why it was so elusive.

It was the character "Hou" (后).

It’s the "Earth Talisman - Hou" (后,meaning ’Rear’ or ’Later’).

As a "Earthly Five Elements Spirit," Po Xu Yuzhuang can be regarded as a genuine descendant of the "Hou Clan."

Comprehending a Saint’s character through one’s own power is markedly more difficult than being forcibly influenced by a Saint, and still, the consequences remain unpredictable.

After mulling over, Song Yan chose to explain the "Three Realms Forbidden Talisman," along with its dangers, to Po Xu Yuzhuang.

Thereupon, he said, "If you wish to give up, then just stay by my side, there’s no need to practice further."
