Novel Bin Chapter 660: Too Weak!?
This Netherworld was not the land of reincarnation or the underworld, but a world that mortals could not see.
Among them were the spirits in the mountain and the ghosts after death.
It could be seen how ambitious the cultivation dynasty was at that time. Not only did they have to care about the living, but they also had to rule the dead and demons.
The City Gods of various places were basically not conferred to living people. They were all demons, spiritual beasts, and loyal cultivators who were willing to submit to the dynasty and die for the country.
This was slightly similar to Jiang Li’s current Prosperous Jiang Hong. He did not mind those demons and ghosts that were not presentable on the outside.
Yin and Yang cooperated with each other and restrained each other in order to maintain the stability of their rule.
The foundation was naturally the Heaven-rank artifact, the City God’s Hall.
With this hall as the guide, even if these spirits died in the mountains and did not have special incense divine arts, they could still enjoy the power of incense offerings.
Therefore, this system almost covered the entire dynasty back then. It was not strange for its number to reach a million.
“That’s Guzhuo City’s City God Yang Jiaoshan! Fuxing City’s City God Chen Wenlong!”
“There’s also Fortune Province’s City God Zhou Ke, Wuhu City’s City God Xu Sheng, and Willow River’s City God Zong Yuan!”
“Suzhou City’s City God Chun Shenjun, Fengzhou City’s City God Su Yin, Southern Giant City’s City God Zhong Ying, Shaoxin City’s City God Pang Yu, Quwo City’s City God Shen Sheng, Jinan City’s City God Tie Xin, Zhengzhou City’s City God Ji Xin, Tainan City’s City God Zhu Yigui…”
All of them were old fellows who had lived for thousands of years and knew quite a bit about the past.
Coupled with the fact that they had cultivated the Essence Soul, it was impossible for them to forget some things.
Therefore, although these City Gods had disappeared for five thousand years and had only left behind some portraits and records, they recognized many of them immediately.
“Apart from the Capital City’s City God and the 18 Duke’s City Gods, all the City Gods are here!”
According to the prosperity of the area under their jurisdiction and the number of people, the City Gods were naturally stronger or weaker.
They could roughly be divided into five grades. There was also the Duke’s City God whose status was comparable to a noble, and the Capital City’s City God who was even more noble and could only be held by the royal family’s ghosts.
The higher the grade of the City God, the more incense offerings they received, and the stronger they were.
“Their strength is completely different from back then. The Blood King has spent a lot of effort on them. Everyone, be careful!”
If these City Gods only maintained their standards back then, they would naturally be a group of useless people.
Before the destruction of the cultivation dynasty, the highest realm in the cultivation world was only at the Soul Formation realm. Any number of them could not affect true experts.
However, the Blood King had clearly done something during these five thousand years of hibernation.
“The world is unfair. It should be judged by the Netherworld!”
“Everyone, do you still remember the punishment for traitors in the Immortal Qin Empire?”
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.
The Blood King wearing a crown appeared on the table in front of the huge City God statue.
He was still criticizing the actions of the many forces of the Divine Judgment Hall back then.
However, that was already a common saying.
From different perspectives, this matter would be completely different. It was impossible to distinguish right from wrong. Speaking of which, it could only be said that everyone was right.
No one spoke much to him. When they saw the person appear, more than half of the experts immediately soared into the sky and pounced at him.
Spells rained down on him as if they were free.
Now that they were in the space of a Heaven-rank artifact, no one could guarantee that they could withstand the next methods.
If there was a chance to kill the leader, it was naturally the best solution.
The attacks of hundreds of experts were extremely terrifying. If not for the fact that this was the interior of a Heaven-rank artifact, even space would have collapsed long ago.
However, as the brazier on the four pillars of the City God’s Hall lit up, an invisible force suddenly pressed down.
The Earth Immortal spells that were about to land on the Blood King were all extinguished like before.
The Earth Immortal cultivators flying in the air were also forcefully pressed back to the ground and could not fly.
Everyone felt their minds go blank. It was as if their bodies were bound by countless large locks, and their strength was suppressed by several percent by the City God’s Hall.
Jiang Li could not help but cough lightly. The tightness in his chest could not be eliminated no matter what.
This was not an invasive curse. The Rainbow Spring Immortal Powder could not remove it.
The minus sign behind the status panel could take effect, but as long as he did not leave this space, even if he removed the status, he would immediately be suppressed again.
Clenching his fists, his physical strength was not greatly affected. However, his other aspects were suppressed by about 30%.
As expected of a Heaven-rank artifact, it could actually do this when facing three divine pillars, twelve high-grade Divine Judgment, and hundreds of Earth Immortals.
His Yin Burial Coffin could not compare to it at all.
This was under the circumstances that Jiang Li had a complete status.
The situation of other ordinary Earth Immortals would probably be much worse than him.
Coupled with the injuries they had suffered earlier, it was already the best outcome to have their combat strength reduced by half.
“Kill them!”
As soon as the Blood King finished speaking, the million City Gods who were originally standing quietly in the surroundings suddenly pounced at them crazily.
They had no rationality as if they had turned back into demons and ghosts, only using their long fangs and sharp claws to injure people.
However, the people from the Divine Judgment Hall were not much better.
Under the envelopment of the four braziers, 99% of the spells they used had no effect. They would dissipate as soon as they left his hand.
The artifacts in their hands were also greatly suppressed here.
After less than a thousand feet, it would fall to the ground. Even if it was used to smash people, the power would be greatly reduced.
Helpless, other than the three divine pillars, the other dignified Earth Immortals could only fight the million City Gods on the ground like ordinary mortal martial artists.
This scene was simply like the center of a world war, but the heads of the two countries used marbles to determine the outcome.
It looked a little funny.
The Divine Judgment Hall had the absolute disadvantage in numbers as if they were about to be swallowed by a million City Gods at any time.
However, although these City Gods had been cleansed by incense offerings, most of them were still far inferior to true Earth Immortals.
It was impossible to kill everyone with one spell technique.
However, other than those powerful first and second-grade City Gods, it was not a problem to slap three to five to death.
Although these million City Gods were many, they could only exhaust the experts. It was very difficult to really kill the Divine Judgment Hall experts.
Sooner or later, they would be able to slaughter all these historical remnants.
However, the more this was the case, the more uneasy the Divine Judgment Hall felt. The situation seemed to be amiss.
After smashing a Tiger Demon City God into pieces, Jiang Li also felt very strange.
“Too weak!”
“The power displayed by the Blood King Palace is too weak!”
