Chapter 1650 — The Fall of the Underworld's Heavenly Son

The Void Heavenly Venerable's domain had already been put in order by her. She had forcibly joined together the pieces of Youdu continents formed from the disintegration and collapse of the Earth Lord's fleshly body, composing the Yuan Continent of Youdu—vast beyond measure, broad beyond bound.

The Yin Heavenly Son's domain was far more scattered: countless continents floated within Youdu, linked by chains forged of Youdu black iron, forming one cableway after another.

After the Earth Lord's death, the souls of Youdu, freed from his restraint, fled in all directions. Some escaped to the mortal realm, forming ghost realms in the world of the living and wreaking havoc upon the world. Others took refuge with the Yin Heavenly Son and the Void Heavenly Venerable, becoming demon-gods of the ghost path under their command.

The Yin Heavenly Son's domain likewise contained countless demon-gods of the ghost path—all of them gods and demons in life, fallen to Youdu in death—and added to the original demon-god army of the Nether Capital, they could be called the single most powerful force among all the heavens and myriad worlds.

At this moment, countless demon-gods of the ghost path and demon-gods of the Nether Capital suddenly sensed something and raised their heads, only to see the burning ocean of the Nether Sea and the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital descending from the sky.

The Yin Heavenly Son stood within the gate, his whole body wreathed in blazing Dao fire. In this reincarnation he had become a woman, and the burning Dao fire made her resemble a bride in bridal red!

"I am Yin Heavenly Venerable! No one can kill me!"

From within the gate came the Yin Heavenly Son's scream, piercing and shrill: "Better that I betray the whole world—"

Suddenly the Yin Heavenly Son within the gate bowed down toward those below. The bodies of the ghost-path demon-gods and Nether Capital demon-gods who had looked up were shaken violently. From the eyes, ears, mouths, and noses of countless demon-sages of the Nether Capital, black sand poured forth in a mad torrent—their primordial spirits were directly bow-killed by the Yin Heavenly Son!

As for the ghost-path demon-gods, who had no fleshly bodies and possessed only primordial spirits or souls, a single bow from him shattered them directly into countless motes of soul black sand.

The Yin Heavenly Son bowed again and again. Upon one continent of the Earth Lord after another, countless demon-gods had their primordial spirits dissolve in succession, and the soul black sand transformed into roaring torrents that swept upward, flying toward the burning Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital and the Nether Sea.

As the Yin Heavenly Son kept bowing, upon the continents of the Earth Lord below, the ghost-path demon-gods and Nether Capital demon-gods seemed to realize that doom was at hand and fled outward in swarms.

Some demon-gods even tore open the void, intending to flee into the world of the living, but the moment their bodies rose, they shattered directly into countless black sand that rushed up into the sky!

For the sake of his own life, the Yin Heavenly Son had unleashed a slaughter. When Youdu fell into the hands of the Heavenly Court, he had carved out half of Youdu for himself and commanded countless mighty troops—one might say one of the greatest powers in the Heavenly Court.

Yet now this army of ghosts and gods was rapidly dwindling and perishing under his own massacre!

Above one continent of the Earth Lord after another, thick columns of soul black sand, like crazed spinning tornadoes, came roaring and plunged into the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital—and actually pressed the Dao fire down until it was extinguished!

The number of dead demon-gods was truly too great, and their souls were powerful; they even suppressed the Fire Heavenly Venerable's Dao fire so that it could not run wild. Even the Dao fire upon the Nether Sea was pressed down.

The Yin Heavenly Son's cultivation and strength soared madly. After the Earth Lord's death, he had devoured and refined the Great Dao of Youdu. Though he had not advanced as quickly as the Void Heavenly Venerable, his cultivation and strength were still increasing at flying speed, far surpassing what they had been—which was why he had dared to wage war against the Fire Heavenly Venerable.

Now, having obtained countless soul black sand, his cultivation and strength rose once more to a terrifying degree. But the Dao fire within his soul remained. He promptly passed back and forth through the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital at flying speed, reincarnating madly. Each of his reincarnated bodies was ignited by the Dao fire and burned to ashes—yet before the reincarnated body burned out, he could always escape successfully!

In those years, Great Venerable Ban Gongcuo, renowned throughout Jingping, had cultivated his Daoist arts and divine powers and could be counted among his disciples and grand-disciples; he had been famed as the first in Jingping at fleeing for his life. Yet compared with him, the Great Venerable was truly the lesser sorcerer meeting the greater.

The Yin Heavenly Son reincarnated madly and finally shook off the Dao fire. He immediately severed his connection to the Nether Sea and the Heavenly Gate of the Nether Capital and flew out from the gate.

He looked back. Without his activation, the Nether Sea and the gate immediately blazed fiercely and were swiftly devoured by the Dao fire.

The Yin Heavenly Son's face flushed red, and he coughed up blood—whether from hidden injury or grief over his treasures, it was hard to say.

Just then, he suddenly caught sight of the Void Heavenly Venerable.

The Void Heavenly Venerable stood upon the other half of Youdu, the long horns on her head transformed into something like the molten lava rivers of Youdu, winding in nine curves and eighteen bends.

This Heavenly Venerable gazed up at the Southern Heaven, then suddenly rose slowly, cutting in from Youdu and burrowing into the Fire Heavenly Venerable's Life-Death Divine Treasury!

"So the Hao Heavenly Emperor's trump card was never me."

The Yin Heavenly Son's heart went cold, and his sorrow deepened; blood surged into his throat. Hao Heavenly Venerable had only used him to sound out the Fire Heavenly Venerable's depths—the true trump card was the Void Heavenly Venerable, who was even stronger than he was!

The Void Heavenly Venerable invaded the Fire Heavenly Venerable's fleshly body directly through his Life-Death Divine Treasury, to slay his primordial spirit!

The Yin Heavenly Son had just thought of this when, at that very moment, he saw a bride dressed in bridal red appear and walk toward him.

"Zhaojin, do you remember the oath you swore on the day you married me?"

The bride smiled sweetly at him: "You said you would never betray me."

"Di Yiyue!"

The Yin Heavenly Son panicked and fled in haste. But in the instant he turned, a hand seized him and dragged him out of Youdu.

"Yin Yulang, we meet again."

In the World of Tianyin, the Yin Heavenly Son broke free of that hand and looked up to see Lady Tianyin. Lady Tianyin said coldly, "I have been waiting for you all along."

At this moment, Di Yiyue, in her bridal red, entered the World of Tianyin from Youdu.

At the same time, the Void Heavenly Venerable stormed into the Fire Heavenly Venerable's Life-Death Divine Treasury and attacked his primordial spirit!

She activated supreme demonic fire and in a single instant ignited the Fire Heavenly Venerable's primordial spirit!

The Fire Heavenly Venerable seemed to have anticipated this. Behind his head, layer upon layer of Dao fire wheels spun madly, and he laughed heartily: "Dao fire tempers the spirit-soul—the indestructible great vajra! Void, you are too green! I still need to borrow your demonic fire to complete the final link my soul cannot cultivate!"

BOOM!
