Chapter 146: Chapter 121: Sacrifice of the Masses, the Celestial Demon Emerges, the Stars Sink and the Moon Falls

The eunuchs guarding outside felt their hearts tremble. Secretly terrified, they all fell to their knees.

In all their years in the palace, this was the first time they had ever seen His Majesty the Divine Emperor so enraged!

Zhao Yin’s expression was calm as he looked at the eunuchs before him, as if the earlier burst of fury had not come from him at all.

"You have all worked hard over the years."

The eunuchs were overwhelmed by this unexpected favor and hurriedly kowtowed.

"This servant was merely doing his duty. We dare not speak of hardship."

"Your Majesty, who manages countless affairs, is the one who truly toils."

"Indeed. Your Majesty’s virtue blankets the world. It is our honor to be able to share Your Majesty’s burdens."

Zhao Yin looked up at the sky and said lightly:

"An honor, is it? Good. Very good. In that case, are you willing to die for me?!"

"What?!"

The eunuchs looked up, bewildered.

A moment later,

they saw the last thing they would ever see in this life.

Zhao Yin raised his hand, his palm seemingly transforming into a black hole.

The Yin Spirits of the eunuchs all flew out and were drawn into his hand!

’Although there was a small hiccup in the end, it doesn’t matter. Let Wang Chongyang and the others live a while longer. The outcome will be the same regardless!’

Zhao Yin waved his hand.

In an instant,

the Dao Realm experts behind him vanished.

「Before long」, they reappeared in every corner of White Jade City.

Then,

their Great Daoist Nascent Souls flew from their bodies, and their hands formed Seals!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—

A violent fluctuation of Magical Power surged from their bodies, forming what seemed like a great net that enveloped all of White Jade City!

Within White Jade City, the high officials, nobles, disciples of the Daoist Families, and all the City Gods looked up at the sky in confusion.

An inexplicable palpitation gripped their hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe.

A moment later,

they felt a boundlessly vast and violent pressure crash down upon them!

"This is bad! Run!"

The City Gods were the first to react. They immediately shot into the air, trying to flee White Jade City.

However,

it was all for naught.

Their Yin Spirits were caught directly in the great net, unable to move a muscle!

The great net pressed down relentlessly, causing all the palaces, houses, and pavilions within White Jade City to collapse and turn to dust.

Ten thousand years of heritage, shattered in an instant!

As the net drew closer,

an immense pressure, as if the sky itself were falling, suddenly swept over everyone in White Jade City!

In the blink of an eye,

the bodies of millions of people throughout White Jade City all exploded, transforming into a boundless bloody mist that stained the very heavens red!

Millions of Yin Souls drifted out, swirling within the great net.

For ten thousand miles around, Heaven and Earth suddenly grew dim and gloomy.

Bloody mist surged and an ominous wind howled. It was as if the world had become Hell!

The magnificent prosperity of the past was now gone, vanished like a dream.

All that remained was a field of ruins and a vast, lost sea of countless Yin Souls.

Beneath the blood-red sky, a lone figure in a Dragon Robe now stood with his head held high.

A sea of Yin Souls swirled around him, letting out piercing, tragic wails!

Zhao Yin’s expression was placid, yet an irrepressible madness shone in his eyes.

"An epoch of planning is finally coming to a close! I will be reborn from Death and recover my full strength!"

He looked up at the heavens and couldn’t help but laugh maniacally.

"In the end, I am the one who has won! You are nothing more than a collective consciousness born from all living things. Once I have devoured them all, what will you have left to fight me with?!"

"Let this apocalyptic tide be your final send-off!"

Zhao Yin waved his hand fiercely.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

In that instant,

the boundless Yin Souls, carried by the sky-filling bloody mist, howled as they rushed out!

Immediately after,

a rain of blood fell from the sky, descending upon the vast earth.

Looking closely, one could see that every single drop of blood seemed to contain a remnant of a Yin Spirit.

This blood rain merged into mountains and rivers, fell into lakes, and landed upon demons and beasts!

Instantly,

these demons and beasts lost their minds and let out earth-shattering roars.

They gathered together, their numbers swelling, gradually forming a torrential beast tide!

Thousands upon thousands, then hundreds of thousands, then millions... they converged from all directions.

Wherever they passed,

they devoured the souls drifting between Heaven and Earth, merging with them.

This caused their auras to skyrocket wildly.

What were once ordinary beasts instantly became demons.

「A day later」, they transformed from Little Demons into Great Demons.

And from Great Demons into Demon Kings!

The boundless, world-ending beast tide, set in motion by Zhao Yin, had truly begun.

The great calamity of Heaven and Earth had arrived with a deafening crash, without any warning!

Zhao Yin sensed the rhythm of the Celestial Demons hidden deep within Heaven and Earth and let out a soft sigh of relief.

For this day,

he had plotted for an entire epoch!

He even woke up several thousand years early for this, just to reconnect with his own body and prepare for the final refinement.

「An epoch ago.」 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

He was gravely wounded by his enemies and stumbled upon this planet. He had wanted to refine it to restore his vitality.

But unexpectedly, something went wrong, and he was nearly assimilated by the planet’s consciousness.

Left with no other choice, he could only discard his physical form.

He scattered his body across Heaven and Earth, then used the Celestial Book, one of the Curiosities, as a foundation to construct the Underworld and house his own Yin Spirit.

However, as a visitor from beyond the heavens, this world naturally rejected foreign spirits.

His body was unable to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism and could only fall into a dormant state.

Fortunately, after tens of thousands of years,

the Underworld finally managed to seize some of the world’s living beings, allowing his Yin Spirit to use them to undergo Reincarnation.
