Chapter 391: Devil King Warden Rod
The Huang Quan Divinities were retreating to higher ground on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
But the Demon Lords held the spear high and persistently chased after them.
It was already very close to where the Divinities were.
The Demon Lords fell one by one.
But a newer Demon Lord would always come up to receive the spear from the previous.
Finally, the Divinities of Huang Quan had nowhere left to run and desperately tried to attack the spear holder.
The Demon Lord peeled off the golden talisman.
The spear erupted with 7-colored light.
The Divinities died one after another.
Until finally, there were no more Divinity left alive.
During the entire process, a total of 197 Demon Lords died!
Each of these Demon Lords were ultimate weapons forged from the highest level of demon technology, just one of them was capable of being an absolute force that would decide the flow of a war.
But here, they were being used as mere transport for that 7-colored spear.
The final Demon Lord that died had even tried to stab the 7-colored light into the top of the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
But the Grand Tie Wei Mountain was seamless, a single and solid whole that even the winds of chaotic tribulation outside couldnât do anything about.
The 7-colored light didnât manage to pierce the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The Demon Lord could only leave it leaning on the mountaintop.
Finishing its task, the Demon Lord howled in agony before rolling down from the top of the mountain.
Halfway down, the Demon Lordâs entire body turned into liquid blood.
It was also killed by the 7-colored spear.
Even Gu Qing Shan who has lived two lives was incredibly shaken by this scene.
âNow do you understand exactly what happened to Huang Quan?â the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook asked.
Gu Qing Shan barely managed to remain calm and answered: âI still have a questionâ
âSpeakâ
âThe demons have always been overwhelming due to their numbers. In every world that Iâve seen, they have always used the overwhelming number advantage to grind themselves to victory. So why did they have to pay such a heavy price in Huang Quan?â
âBecause the Great Forgetting River exists in Huang Quan, itâs useless no matter how many of them there are, because the 18 layers of hell are below the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, where the Law of the world protects the dead, so the demons couldnât do anything to hellâ
âAfter all, dead people cannot die, they only need to sleep to recoverâ
âThatâs whyâŠâ
âCorrect, they brought in that 7-colored spear from somewhere. Only that spear was able to do anything at all against the world of Huang Quanâ
âWhose weapon is that spear?â
âNo one knowsâ
âIs there no way against that?â
âDespite the Divinities best efforts, all the solutions they came up with were useless against the spear, it still killed both friend and foe alikeâ
Gu Qing Shan muses out that: âWhy did they not hide into the Forgetting Riverâ
âThe Forgetting River is the most basic Law of Huang Quan, even if they are Divinities, entering the Forgetting River will only make them reincarnateâ
âI donât understand, how did a single spear âŠkill so many Divinities and Demon LordsâŠâ Gu Qing Shan muttered in shock.
âThe Huang Quan world is already as good as destroyed, the demons are now moving on with their plans, do you still want to see?â the khopesh asked.
âI do, pleaseâ Gu Qing Shan looked up.
âInfuse your inner sight into meâ
âAlrightâ
Another scene unfolded.
After the Divinities fell.
The demons took over the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
At a secluded place on the Grand Mountain.
The demons had broken through a defensive barrier.
They were digging something in a frenzy inside the barrier.
Since there was no way to actually dig through the Grand Mountain, the place that they were digging was actually something else.
It was a bunch of rocks, seemingly identical to other rocks on the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
But these rocks can be broken and dug through.
Obviously, this place was once used as a hiding place for storage to avoid being found out.
The demons retrieved a coffin.
Spending a lot of time and effort, they finally broke through the multiple layers of the coffinâs seals.
Finally, the coffin opened.
A ceremonial Rod appeared in the demonâs eyes.
Long black shaft, adorned with a skull with sharp horn on top.
A two-winged demon flew down and grabbed this Rod with its mouth.
It flew towards the Forgetting River.
The Rod was then dropped into the Forgetting River.
A dark light appeared from the Rod.
In a single moment, the Rod disappeared.
âWhat is that?â Gu Qing Shan asked.
âAn item sealed by the world of Huang Quan in the Age of Old long ago, the Devil King Warden Rodâ the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered.
âDevil King? Huang Quan has a Devil King?â Gu Qing Shan didnât expect to hear that.
âIn the Age of Old, the world of Huang Quan used to be ruled by the Devil King, at the time hell only had 9 layers, not the 18 layers like it does todayâ
âLater on, the Divinities of Heaven realm wanted control over the power of life and death that Huang Quan has, so they dispatched 8 Divinities to manage Huang Quanâ
âAt first, the Divinities were responsible for leading mortals into hell, as well as guiding them back to reincarnation after they went through torture to atone for their sinsâ
âThe Devil King was responsible for the 9 layers of hell, in which he held absolute control over all the dead of hellâ
âLater on, they got into a discord and a war broke out between the Divinities from Heaven realm and the Devil Kingâ
âThat was the first Divine War of Huang Quanâ
âWith his Devil King Warden Rod, the Devil king was invincible, forcing the Divinities to flee back to the Heaven realmâ
âHe was that strong?â
âThatâs right, out of the three Divine Armaments of Huang Quan, the Devil King Warden Rod is the most powerful, even surpassing myself and the final Divine Armament. So the Divinities almost lostâ
âFortunately, at the time of crisis, countless Divinities descended from the Heaven realm to Huang Quanâ
âAlmost the entire Heaven realm came at the time. The Heaven realm also managed to convince the Asura realm, the Beast King realm and the Demon realm to band together and defeat the Huang Quan realmâ
âThe Devil King commanded the dead, but couldnât manage to win against Divinities from 4 realms, finally killed by a Heaven realmâs Divinityâ
âFrom then on, the Devil King Warden Rod was also sealedâ
âBecause they were afraid of this Divine Armamentâs powers, the Devil King Warden Rodâs spirit was crushed while the rod itself was sealed awayâ
âWait a minute!â
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes to think for a bit before speaking: âIf itâs as you said, then the demons took this Divine Armament out in order to rule the 18 layers of hell like the Devil King used to?â
âNo, the demons canât use the Devil King Warden Rodâ
âWhy not?â
âAccording to the Law of hell, the one who holds the Devil King Warden Rod must be a dead person from hellâ
âThen what did they find it for?â
âThe demons still canât invade the human realm yet, but hell canâ
âAs soon as the Devil King rod is released, it will immediately go back to the 18 layers of hellâ
âAlthough it doesnât have a spirit, it would still follow the Law and pick out a new Devil Kingâ
âNot only is this Divine Armament powerful, it also contains a secret ritual to allow the 18 layers of hell to escape from the world of Huang Quanâ
Gu Qing Shan now understood.
So thatâs why.
The reason why multiple hell came to the human realm, it must be this.
âHas been the Devil King been selected?â
âNot yet, but soonâ the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered.
Gu Qing Shan sighed: âOnce a new Devil King is chosen, theyâll definitely command the 18 layers of hell to invade the human realmâ
âThat is indeed the case, when the 18 layers of hell thoroughly become loose, the Law of Huang Quan would also start to collapseâ
âThe human realm definitely cannot stop the invasion from 18 hellsâ
âBoth Huang Quan, the human realm will both be destroyed, throwing the Samsara into utter chaosâ
âAt that point, the 6 worldsâ protective barriers will automatically collapse, giving the demon army direct entry into hell, the human realm, the Demon realm, the Asura realm, the Beast King realm, and even the Heaven realmâ
âThe demonâs true goal is to take over the 6 worlds at once!â
