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 couldn’t do anything about.
The 7-colored light didn’t manage to pierce the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The Demon Lord could only leave it leaning on the mountaintop.
Finis.h.i.+ng its task, the Demon Lord howled in agony before rolling down from the top of the mountain.
Halfway down, the Demon Lord’s 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.
“Now do you understand exactly what happened to Huang Quan?” the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook asked.
Gu Qing Shan barely managed to remain calm and answered: “I still have a question”
“Speak”
“The demons have always been overwhelming due to their numbers. In every world that I’ve 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?”
“Because the Great Forgetting River exists in Huang Quan, it’s useless no matter how many of them there are, because the 18 layers of h.e.l.l are below the Grand Tie Wei Mountain, where the Law of the world protects the dead, so the demons couldn’t do anything to h.e.l.l”
“After all, dead people cannot die, they only need to sleep to recover”
“That’s why…”
“Correct, they brought in that 7-colored spear from somewhere. Only that spear was able to do anything at all against the world of Huang Quan”
“Whose weapon is that spear?”
“No one knows”
“Is there no way against that?”
“Despite the Divinities best efforts, all the solutions they came up with were useless against the spear, it still killed both friend and foe alike”
Gu Qing Shan muses out that: “Why did they not hide into the Forgetting River”
“The Forgetting River is the most basic Law of Huang Quan, even if they are Divinities, entering the Forgetting River will only make them reincarnate”
“I don’t understand, how did a single spear …kill so many Divinities and Demon Lords…” Gu Qing Shan muttered in shock.
“The Huang Quan world is already as good as destroyed, the demons are now moving on with their plans, do you still want to see?” the khopesh asked.
“I do, please” Gu Qing Shan looked up.
“Infuse your inner sight into me”
“Alright”
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 coffin’s seals.
Finally, the coffin opened.
A ceremonial Rod appeared in the demon’s 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.
“What is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“An item sealed by the world of Huang Quan in the Age of Old long ago, the Devil King Warden Rod” the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered.
“Devil King? Huang Quan has a Devil King?” Gu Qing Shan didn’t expect to hear that.
“In the Age of Old, the world of Huang Quan used to be ruled by the Devil King, at the time h.e.l.l only had 9 layers, not the 18 layers like it does today”
“Later 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 Quan”
“At first, the Divinities were responsible for leading mortals into h.e.l.l, as well as guiding them back to reincarnation after they went through torture to atone for their sins”
“The Devil King was responsible for the 9 layers of h.e.l.l, in which he held absolute control over all the dead of h.e.l.l”
“Later on, they got into a discord and a war broke out between the Divinities from Heaven realm and the Devil King”
“That was the first Divine War of Huang Quan”
“With his Devil King Warden Rod, the Devil king was invincible, forcing the Divinities to flee back to the Heaven realm”
“He was that strong?”
“That’s right, out of the three Divine Armaments of Huang Quan, the Devil King Warden Rod is the most powerful, even surpa.s.sing myself and the final Divine Armament. So the Divinities almost lost”
“Fortunately, at the time of crisis, countless Divinities descended from the Heaven realm to Huang Quan”
“Almost 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 realm”
“The Devil King commanded the dead, but couldn’t manage to win against Divinities from 4 realms, finally killed by a Heaven realm’s Divinity”
“From then on, the Devil King Warden Rod was also sealed”
“Because they were afraid of this Divine Armament’s powers, the Devil King Warden Rod’s spirit was crushed while the rod itself was sealed away”
“Wait a minute!”
Gu Qing Shan closed his eyes to think for a bit before speaking: “If it’s as you said, then the demons took this Divine Armament out in order to rule the 18 layers of h.e.l.l like the Devil King used to?”
“No, the demons can’t use the Devil King Warden Rod”
“Why not?”
“According to the Law of h.e.l.l, the one who holds the Devil King Warden Rod must be a dead person from h.e.l.l”
“Then what did they find it for?”
“The demons still can’t invade the human realm yet, but h.e.l.l can”
“As soon as the Devil King rod is released, it will immediately go back to the 18 layers of h.e.l.l”
“Although it doesn’t have a spirit, it would still follow the Law and pick out a new Devil King”
“Not only is this Divine Armament powerful, it also contains a secret ritual to allow the 18 layers of h.e.l.l to escape from the world of Huang Quan”
Gu Qing Shan now understood.
So that’s why.
The reason why multiple h.e.l.l came to the human realm, it must be this.
“Has been the Devil King been selected?”
“Not yet, but soon” the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook answered.
Gu Qing Shan sighed: “Once a new Devil King is chosen, they’ll definitely command the 18 layers of h.e.l.l to invade the human realm”
“That is indeed the case, when the 18 layers of h.e.l.l thoroughly become loose, the Law of Huang Quan would also start to collapse”
“The human realm definitely cannot stop the invasion from 18 h.e.l.ls”
“Both Huang Quan, the human realm will both be destroyed, throwing the Samsara into utter chaos”
“At that point, the 6 worlds’ protective barriers will automatically collapse, giving the demon army direct entry into h.e.l.l, the human realm, the Demon realm, the Asura realm, the Beast King realm, and even the Heaven realm”
“The demon’s true goal is to take over the 6 worlds at once!”
