Chapter 415: Chapter 189 Qinguang King’s Decision_1
In the kingdom of Hell, amid the ruins of the First Hall.
The seven Yamas present, still had panic and shock in their eyes that they could not hide as they watched the disappearing phantom of the Emperor above the firmament.
Although that Imperial Edict carried with it tremendous momentum, having traversed realms, its energy was greatly depleted. Furthermore, its force, spread across the entire kingdom of Hell without solidifying, shattered the First Hall but was insufficient to injure the Yamas inside.
Yet as a link within the Hell Deity System, the influence brought on by the Divinity Path Origin could not be ignored even by the Yamas.
The edict stirred the foundational divinity of the entire kingdom of Hell, evoking resonance among numerous Netherworld Treasures, leaving an indelible mark throughout the kingdom of Hell.
The interwoven laws and grand dao constantly mended the kingdom of Hell’s shattered sky, striving to smooth over the impact of the edict.
Across the land within the domain of the ten halls, accompanied by the uncountable sinful souls annihilated by the edict, wails of Ghost Objects echoed everywhere.
Qinguang King retracted his gaze from the sky, his expression dark as he looked at the surrounding surviving Ghost Objects.
At the fore of the ten Yamas, he commanded the Netherworld Treasure Karma Mirror, where all souls entering Hell were to be probed for their sins before the Yamas determined their fate.
Ever since ancient times, souls with heavy sin had died and entered Hell; a large part of them complied with Hell’s order, being cast into the 18 Levels of Hell, or thrown into the cycle of rebirth among beasts.
However, over the years, there were always some profoundly sinful Ghost Objects that, for various reasons, were not judged by Yama and lingered outside the First Hall.
These sinners were awash in evil during their lives, and upon death, they used their sins and karmic power for cultivation, their growth far outpacing other Ghost Objects, forming a vast system known as sinful ghosts.
Among these countless sinful ghosts were those powerful enough to be vengeful and ferocious, and there were no few Ghost Kings whose strength could match that of Spirit Refining True Beings.
These sinful ghosts belonged to Qinguang King’s private command, hidden from the rules of Hell.
With the decision to invade the Primal Chaos Realm, Qinguang King plotted to transfer these sinful ghosts into the Primal Chaos Realm, using them as a tool against Great Xia’s Imperial Court.
It was extremely difficult for ordinary, weak Ghost Objects to use the Netherworld as a stepping stone into the Primal Chaos Realm, as they risked being swept into the chaos of the void and obliterated.
But the sinful ghosts were powerful; many even exceeded the limits of the current world’s rules in the Primal Chaos Realm, so Qinguang King had been waiting for the opportunity.
Once the Netherworld took over the whole of Tai Province, a portion of the sinful ghosts could be transferred, and with these powerful beings far surpassing the strength of the present world in the Primal Chaos Realm, the entirety of Great Xia’s Imperial Court could be crushed.
Yet all these schemes dissipated like smoke with that one edict.
The Imperial Edict not only destroyed the First Hall, but the magnificent Divine might within it even eradicated the sinful ghosts he had accumulated over countless years.
The strategy to crush Great Xia with powerful Ghost Objects had failed before it even began.
Anger rose in the eyes of Qinguang King, but as he thought of the noble phantom of the White Robed Emperor, an instinctive awe surged in his heart.
Chujiang King, still shaken, looked at the ruins of the First Hall beside him and said:
“That edict, coming across realms and able to extinguish sinful ghosts and destroy the First Hall, I sensed the pure will of the Divinity Path Origin within it.
Behind that edict, there must be an Emperor seated high on the Incense Offering Divinity Path!”
“A Celestial Official close to the Jade Emperor? The Eastern Peak Great Emperor, hidden for countless years, or perhaps the Donghua Emperor, the lord of the assembly of immortals and deities of the Incense Offering Divinity Path?”
Name after name, reverberating through the realms, was uttered by Chujiang King, and each one caused the gathered Yamas to tremble in their spirits.
Had the Upper World not completely severed ties with the kingdom of Hell, the mere mention of these names by Chujiang King would have been enough to draw the attention of the Emperors.
Samsara King hurriedly stopped Chujiang King from continuing, speaking out:
“Who it is, is not important. What we need to know first is, why that Emperor sent down an Imperial Edict across realms.
That ‘how presumptuous’, who exactly is it warning?”
The Yamas nodded in agreement, then their gazes unanimously turned to Qinguang King, whose expression was fluctuating.
Feeling the gazes of the Yamas, Qinguang King did not conceal anything, and spoke forthrightly:
“If I’m not wrong, that edict should have originated from the Primal Chaos Realm.
The sliver of consciousness I entrusted in the Yama’s official seal given to the Day Wandering God has been obliterated, and that surely must have been at the hands of this unknown Emperor.”
Although the Yamas had their suspicions, hearing Qinguang King’s definitive words still caused them to change their expressions drastically.
Unlike the Primal Chaos Realm, where Earth Immortals were already at the pinnacle, the kingdom of Hell touched upon many realms and had long surpassed ordinary vast worlds in scale, and the ten Yamas had all survived from ancient times.
They were far more aware than the beings of the Primal Chaos Realm of what exactly an Emperor represented.
“An Emperor appears in the Primal Chaos Realm, which has severed the Great Schism—how is that possible!”
“An Emperor meddling in matters of the Primal Chaos Realm, could it be that our actions have already brought dissatisfaction from the Upper World?
This Imperial Edict from the Emperor, is it a warning aimed at the likes of us?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“With the Emperor taking action, we have no chance of invading the Primal Chaos Realm again. I urge Qinguang King to plan accordingly at the earliest.”
…
Each Yama spoke urgently, as if they wished to return to their own palaces that very instant.
