193: Section 193

They were drawn by the distant River Styx, falling into it against their will.

On the opposite bank of the Styx, worms hatched one after another. Driven by extreme hunger and a bloodthirsty, chaotic nature, these newborn worms quickly began to slaughter each other.

"The scenery isn't bad; it even carries a hint of the Abyss concept, which I didn't expect."

The voice wasn't loud, yet it spread in all directions through the Imaginary Domain.

In that instant, the entire Hell fell silent.

Nothing else happened, but under the indiscriminate fire of the Conquerors Haki Pressure, crimson fissures spread frantically around Su Ming's body.

This gave Su Ming an inexplicable [Iron-Blooded War Emperor] filter, and even his voice became strangely sacred and ethereal.

It showed signs of a divine majesty as vast as Hell.

"Sulfur, volcanoes, dark clouds, meteors, and hellfire. Oh, and a River Styx simulated from sulfur and lava, a wasteland and hills paved with skeletons, and... eternally suffering souls. Though a bit cliché, the structure is reasonable and the design is classic..."

Su Ming's commentary had the leisurely feel of someone inspecting his own backyard.

That sense of natural entitlement from the bottom of his heart...

...once made the Demon Lord doubt whether the property rights of this territory were about to change hands in the next second.

Looking at the Demon Lord with foul dark clouds above his head and treading on bleached white bones,

Su Ming grinned:

"Come on, little brother! No need for extra formalities, let's get straight to the point. If I die... you do as you please. If you die... Ge Men does as it pleases!"

The Demon Lord's massive pupils, burning with fierce Sin Fire, visibly contracted for a moment.

He had never seen such a mortal!

No fear, no screaming, no begging for mercy!

On the contrary, he was unscrupulously critiquing Him and was eagerly trying to start a war with Him!

Feeling deeply insulted, the Demon Lord erupted:

"You are..."

However, Su Ming was no paragon of virtue.

A hammer strike from across the void!

Boom!—

This was the Hammer of Transcendent Locking!

This was the Hammer of Universal Massacre!

This was the Hammer of Causal Inevitability!

The Demon Lord's huge foot instantly burst open, the sound of bone cracking clearly audible.

"Aow!—"

With a tragic howl, the Demon Lord stumbled, nearly falling over.

But in the next instant.

The sky!—

Lit up!—

Su Ming held his war hammer high, channeling starlight across the boundaries!

This was, Starlight Fall!

A full-power Starlight Fall was no longer just a beam attack.

Instead, it was a series of Celestial Body Projections crashing down straight along the star tracks. They were meteors, dwarf planets, and shooting star nodes—a continuous bombardment of the Circle of Reason carrying different laws!

Boom!—

The crashing of each celestial projection meant an extremely concentrated meteorite impact!

Every impact meant a suppression infused with the concept of the stars!

The Demon Lord, whose center of gravity was already unstable, couldn't even withstand the suppression of the first celestial projection. He fell flat on the spot and was hit repeatedly by the ensuing projections, unable to rise again.

Chapter 218: Dimensional Modification! Usurping Authority

Rumble rumble rumble!—

The star tracks pulsed, and dust rose everywhere.

The ley lines snapped, and the Demon Lord's massive body was hammered deep into the earth by successive heavy strikes. The bloodlight splashing hundreds of meters high from time to time, along with the screams that reached the ears, bore witness to the brutality of the Star-Forging Lord.

Not only that.

Starlight Fall was an ultra-wide-range killing move.

Within the Imaginary Domain.

All demon kin became targets of the Starlight Fall.

Brilliant pillars of light filled the entire Hell Dimension like a canopy. The celestial projections from another world, as bright as great suns, illuminated the dark, sunless Hell.

But this was a weight that ordinary demons could not bear.

They weren't the Demon Lord; they weren't that durable.

Often, a single celestial projection would crush them into mincemeat on the spot!

Thirty seconds later.

The star tracks faded, turning into wisps of starlight that rose into the high sky.

Looking around.

The entire Hell Dimension was in a wretched state.

It was as if it had been repeatedly plowed by nuclear explosions, completely overturning the original landscape.

Glassy meteorite craters were scattered one after another, connected by hideous fissures. Except for a small number of demons who barely survived by using the terrain... even the River Styx almost stopped flowing because of it!

"You... damned... mortal..."

A furious roar, carrying irrepressible pain, emerged from underground.

Clearly.

The Demon Lord, backed by the entire dimension, was still alive.

However, the Lord within the Imaginary Domain now had a lava body that appeared slightly dim and lackluster.

There was an illusion that He was on the verge of burning out.

"Roar!—"

The entire Hell Dimension suddenly boiled.

Boom!—

A giant lava claw slammed onto the ground, propping up the Demon Lord's riddled body while instantly mobilizing the infinite malice and pain buried deep underground.

The hideous mouth full of fangs opened to its limit.

Inside.

A mental shock mixed with surging malice took the form of a torrential flood.

Accompanied by the wailing of space, it shot straight towards Su Ming.

This single strike alone was worthy of His title as Lord.

It was a torrent of destruction capable of annihilating the minds of an entire army of petitioners in one blow!

"Interesting!"

Su Ming chuckled. The Demon Lord before him had definitely gone all out with this move. Not only was the intensity off the charts, but the entire dimension was also being harnessed, using the laws of the dimension to forcibly bind Su Ming in place.

However.

Su Ming raised his hand in a beckoning gesture.

The gate of curses immediately manifested, standing tall in front of Su Ming.

Boom!—

A brilliant light suddenly flared.

The colorful torrent of energy, just as it was about to spread and turn into a mental pollution hell covering thousands of meters, was swallowed whole by the gate of curses.

The energy was rapidly categorized and extracted, surging into the portal like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea under Su Ming's Creator Status.

In the end, the Demon Lord's grand counterattack could only futilely lift a corner of Su Ming's robe... beyond that, nothing was gained.

The Demon Lord was completely dumbfounded.

What was that portal?

Why was there the aura of this realm's origin flowing from it?

Then what had He become?

A sucker who worked for free for the mortal in front of Him, helping him perfect this wondrous item?

"Unforgivable! I'll kill you, I'll definitely kill you... No, I will extract your soul and place it over hellfire to burn for millions of years!"

The enraged Demon Lord spread his bat wings, even though they were already tattered and one wing had been broken in half by the previous celestial projection.

But the Lord Status was still there.

The laws of the Hell Dimension were mobilized once more.

In that instant, the entire vault of heaven was dyed red by bloodlight. The River Styx surged, and countless remnant souls rose into the air, merging with the dark clouds across the sky.

In the next moment.

Malice crashed down like the world turning upside down.

Accompanying it was a death shriek with an instant-death effect!

However.

Three Su Mings separated from Su Ming's body one after another.

Including the original, a total of four Su Mings scattered in four directions, simultaneously summoning the Circle of Reason to descend upon this place!

Four identical voices layered over each other, merging into a slightly mocking quip:

"Field advantage is very useful, but... it's mine now. Welcome to my Hell... Jie jie jie!"

In the next instant.

Starlight showered down, shining in all directions.

The entire dimension froze, turning into a corner of the floating world wrapped in starlight!

From high above, a more primal, grander, and deeper will of the stars swept through with a new Order. It bloomed from beneath the feet of the four Su Mings, from the heights of the sky, and from the places where the starlight fell.

This was the manifestation of the Circle of Reason.

It was the pulse of the Star-Forging Authority.

Spreading, eroding, and assimilating with the power of Creation Genesis from the four coordinated sides, through the microscopic control of the Imaginary Domain and the macroscopic integration of the dark matter computer within his body, the Order of the Circle of Reason simulated the grand trend of changing rules, radiating in all directions and encompassing all existence.

The gloomy, oppressive dark clouds in the sky, along with the endless dead souls, shattered inch by inch into powder. Then, in the starlight, they scattered with the dreamy and blurred Tyndall effect.

High in the vault of heaven.

The dark canopy that should have been like black velvet...

...was now being lit up one by one by starlight.

The rushing lava River Styx was soaked and assimilated by starlight. Within it, sin precipitated into the silt of a turbid world, while the essence rose to manifest the appearance of a Heavenly River!

From then on.

Within the River Styx, the lava cooled.

The light elements became lighter, rising to the high sky to help the Heavenly River traverse the Circle of Reason!

The turbid elements became more turbid, drawing in the filth of reality and settling at the bottom of the river, becoming eternal fuel for the silt of the turbid world.

The ritual was naturally formed, bringing clarity to cause and effect!
