101: Chapter 93 Physical Resurrection: The Shattering of the Killing Stone

Pei Duo stared intently below the blinds. The massive bronze meat grinder spun endlessly, devouring the flesh and souls of her compatriots.

Extreme rage stretched her eyes open, her sclera covered in crimson bloodshot veins.

She suppressed the tremor in her throat and turned to look at the Old Ghost in Zhongshan Suit behind her.

"How does this furnace lock these souls?" Pei Duo's voice was low, laced with unconcealable killing intent.

The Old Ghost in Zhongshan Suit let out a long sigh. He raised his withered finger, pointing to a huge stone suspended directly above the meat grinder below.

It was a rhombic stone, emitting an eerie purple glow all over.

"That is an evil artifact from the East, called sesshōseki," the old ghost's voice was hoarse and dry, "The stone is inscribed with the Japanese God System's binding laws.

It carries an absolute bloodline suppression. Any heroic spirit with Chinese blood will be firmly pressed onto the conveyor belt by it, drained of all will to resist, and can only line up to be shredded by the gears."

Before his words fell, a sudden change occurred.

Xu Mo had previously used an underworld emissary token to break the "Ghost Hitting the Wall." That trace of faint green aura lingering in the air seeped into the space below with the wind.

This energy, belonging to the true Eastern Underworld, instantly triggered the array alarm at the bottom of Deer Terrace.

The suspended sesshōseki suddenly vibrated. A dazzling purple light erupted.

Dozens of purple illusory tentacles shot out from the stone. They were extremely fast, piercing through the air and fiercely plunging into the iron wall of the ventilation duct.

A terrifying pulling force instantly enveloped the entire narrow mezzanine. The air was sucked dry, and strong winds howled.

This suction force specifically targeted souls. The Old Ghost in Zhongshan Suit and a dozen other lingering heroic spirits shook violently, uncontrollably sliding towards the grate below. The sesshōseki intended to forcibly drag them into the meat grinder.

"Go!" The Old Ghost in Zhongshan Suit let out a tragic groan.

He and the one-armed Ming Dynasty veteran rushed to the front. Their two broken soul bodies forcefully propped themselves against the ventilation opening.

Faint, eerie green soul flames ignited on their bodies. This was the burning of their few remaining soul origins.

The two soul flames connected to form a fragile wall, firmly blocking the penetration of the purple tentacles.

"Child, run!" The old ghost roared back, his broken black teeth clenching tightly.

Xu Mo and Lin Sa quickly retreated half a step, preparing to forcibly pull Pei Duo away.

But Pei Duo didn't move. She didn't retreat a single step.

Pei Duo reached back for Lin Sa's leg tactical pouch. A metallic scraping sound rang out. She directly pulled out a spare military-grade steel awl.

Gripping the awl tightly. There was no fear in Pei Duo's eyes, only bloodthirsty determination.

Xu Mo quickly pressed close to the broken grate. His glasses reflected the rotation speed of the gears below and the energy ripples of the sesshōseki.

His mind raced, analyzing the data before him.

"It's useless!" Xu Mo stared at the data, his voice trembling, "That's a three-layer high-density barrier! Without magic power, the underworld emissary token is useless, and physical methods can't break through at all! This is a dead end!"

This was the final judgment given by his tactical brain.

Pei Duo didn't retort. She reached for the dusty black jade pendant around her neck.

Her brother Pei Fei had extracted the divine power from it in Xibalba. It was now just a stone with no magical fluctuations.

But it was essentially a divine object.

Pei Duo knew very well that the physical hardness of this stone far exceeded all known substances in the current world.

With a strong tug. The red string broke.

Pei Duo tightly wrapped the black jade pendant around the knuckles of her right hand. The string went around her palm, tied in a dead knot.

She coldly tossed out a sentence: "If magic can't break it, then smash it with brute force. Even immortals' bones fear a hammer!"

This statement was full of banditry and killing intent.

Xu Mo and Lin Sa's hearts trembled violently. They looked at Pei Duo clenching her fist and wrapping the jade pendant, their vision momentarily blurring.

At this moment, they saw the shadow of Pei Fei, the Underworld Son of Heaven who had split open the Aztec temple with a single sword, in this girl.

That madness etched into her bones had completely awakened.

After experiencing the life-and-death stripping of the "Six Pillars Trial" in Xibalba, this hothouse flower had shed all her weakness.

She had truly grown fangs to face a divine death trap.

Lin Sa no longer tried to dissuade her. She responded with action.

Her right leg suddenly lifted. Lin Sa used her last bit of strength to kick heavily at the iron grate of the ventilation opening.

"Bang!"

The already rusty iron grate shattered into pieces and fell downwards.

The opening was wide. A strong wind rushed in.

Pei Duo didn't use any defensive spells. Her leg muscles instantly exploded, and she leaped directly from the ventilation opening dozens of meters high.

The wind howled in her ears. A strong sense of weightlessness swept over her entire body. Pei Duo adjusted her posture in mid-air, using the terrifying downward gravity to rush straight towards the purple-glowing sesshōseki.

Below, three high-ranking Red Oni responsible for guarding the furnace noticed the movement above.

They raised their hideous heads and let out a deafening roar. The three Red Oni simultaneously raised their thick arms.

Three Obsidian Spears burning with eerie green venomous fire flew out of their hands, tearing through the air with a shriek, precisely sealing all of Pei Duo's downward landing points.

"Left! Those are Venomous Fire Spears! Dodge!" Xu Mo's upper body was halfway out of the opening, his voice almost breaking.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Sa flicked her wrist. A specially made throwing knife transformed into a silver lightning bolt, accurately striking the deadly Obsidian Spear on the left.

Sparks flew. The spear's trajectory deviated, grazing Pei Duo's waist and flying into the darkness above.

The other two spears followed closely. Pei Duo forcibly twisted her waist and abdomen in the air. One spear brushed past her calf.

The eerie green venomous fire instantly burned through her tactical pants, leaving a charred, curled blood groove on her skin.

The stench of burnt flesh filled her nostrils, but Pei Duo didn't even blink. Instead, fueled by the adrenaline from the intense pain, she clenched her jaw, making a clicking sound, and her entire body, like a cannonball, increased its speed by a third.

Her falling speed reached its peak.

Pei Duo raised her right hand high. The black jade pendant wrapped around her knuckles, carrying immense force, smashed fiercely into the purple demonic energy barrier surrounding the sesshōseki.

This was a collision of extreme gravity and physical hardness.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion ripped through the massive atrium.

The three-layer demonic energy barrier, which even the S-rank great demon Tamamo-no-Mae cherished as a treasure and claimed could withstand spell bombardment, violently caved in the moment it touched the black jade pendant.

That seemingly cheap, oil-stained broken stone, with its unreasonable physical hardness, brutally shattered the energy barrier.

A series of crisp cracking sounds merged. The barrier's surface was covered in dense, spiderweb-like cracks.

"Crack—"

It was the crisp sound of some absolute rule collapsing.

The indestructible purple light barrier exploded like cheap glass under this punch, fine crystal shards mixed with sesshōseki powder, falling like a purple blizzard.

The three Red Oni looked as if they had seen their ghost ancestors, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets, and the demonic arts they had been preparing were scared away.

The sesshōseki shattered.

The purple light that enveloped the entire lower space instantly disintegrated. The binding law that suppressed Chinese bloodlines completely dissipated.

The tens of thousands of Chinese souls who had been numbly waiting in line for death on the conveyor belt suddenly trembled. They simultaneously raised their heads. The shackles binding their deep souls were broken.

Deprived of the forced injection of soul power fuel, the massive bronze meat grinder lost itspower.

The huge gears let out a jarring grinding sound. "Creak—bang!" Amidst the ear-piercing friction and explosion, sparks flew skyward. Countless mechanical parts dislocated and broke.

The entire core power area of Deer Terrace instantly plunged into severe system disarray. Steam pipes burst, and white, high-temperature air currents swept everywhere.

Amidst the purple shattered stones and pungent smoke and dust scattered everywhere.

"Thud."

Pei Duo landed on one knee. Her tactical boots firmly stepped onto the completely stopped steel conveyor belt. She slowly stood up, her blood-stained right hand hanging naturally, and a drop of dark red blood dripped from the black jade pendant wrapped around her knuckles.
