Chapter 636 - - Real and Fake Hell Overseers (1/2)
The effect and power of the bell was completely different when in the hands of that mysterious individual as compared to that of the eighteen judges.
The soul of the demonic god was held captive by the bell with his soul engulfed in darkness; the link between his body and soul was severed by this bell — Soul Reaping Bell.
This bell was an extraordinary item in hell. In the Six Path Worlds, there are often several abnormally strong individuals with a few planets filled with their worshippers, and with them worshipping them, the power of the worship would firmly lock these individuals' soul within their body.
And when these individuals passed away, they would often hear a bell ring as the power of worship was cut loose from them and their soul would descend into the Hell Wheel as a result. This was all the doings of the Soul Reaping Bell; guiding the souls of these abnormally strong individuals away in order to maintain the order of the Six Paths.
When the soul of the demonic god was guided away, his gigantic body fell from the skies and rolled all the way down into hell.
"My lord! Forgive us for the trouble!"
The eighteen judges knelt with lowered their heads to the deepest part of hell while the black hand grabbed onto the bell in which the soul was trapped and struggling.
"This is not your fault, this monster ape is just way too strong for you."
The creepy and fading voice of Prison Emperor came from the deepest part of hell, "How things work in hell is different compared to Six Paths. In hell, he is no match for me but it will be the other way round in Six Paths; not only will I be injured by him, I would even be captured by him. Both realms have different orders; while alive, we are under the watch of the heaven. And when we die, we are transferred to the jurisdiction of the earth. Apart from those ancients that can enter hell and Six Paths freely, who else is capable of this? You have all given your best, now, prepare yourselves again and do not break the order."
"Yes, my lord!" replied the judge.
The black hand then retracted back into the depths of hell along with the bell and disappeared.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er were both awestruck; such a battle might have ended in just a blink of an eye, but it was still extremely marvelous; especially the scene when the monster ape squeezed into hell from the Six Paths where the ape shook the stars in the space.
We couldn't witness his full power, what a shame.
Dragging Qiu Jin'er with him, he quickly walked towards the outside of the Serene Darkness Mansion with Lan Si God, trying to escape with the help of the chaotic situation. The monster ape was not in his peak state; his body and his soul did not fuse together perfectly yet, and his soul obviously had a weaker cultivation in comparison to his body.
And due to the limitations of the Hell Wheel's heaven and earth orders, his strength was greatly suppressed and as a result, he was captured by the Prison Emperor.
Things would have been different if they were in the Six Paths World.
Prison Emperor said that those ancient beings could travel through the two realms freely… Does that means that they could fight uninhibited in both realms?
Zhong Yue thought in admiration, How strong must they be to be able to do this?
Suddenly, a terrifying aura flooded out, causing Zhong Yue's heart to sink. When he looked around, the eighteen judges descended from the top and surrounded them in the middle.
Far away, banners waved along with the wind, countless demonic gods in the hell gathered their remaining forces, formed up new ranks, creating array formations one after another that fixated the fire and water in the city and trapped Zhong Yue and the others in the middle.
Qiu Jin'er was slightly shaken, but Zhong Yue only smirked, "Heh, so it seems like we have been found out."
Upon hearing Zhong Yue's calm voice and looking at his confident demeanour, Qiu Jin'er's panic greatly diminished. Meanwhile, Lan Si God was extremely terrified and looked like he would kneel before the many judges.
"Interesting, there are actually people taking advantage of this chaotic situation to profit."
The three eyed judges opened his third eye, looked at the three of them and quickly ignored Lan Si God. He proceeded to examine both Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er and said, "Good plan, but aren't you a little bit too bold and too presumptuous?"
On the other side, a judges with thousand arms raised his hand as the Thousand Plane Divine Mirror appeared in his hand before he faced the mirror at both Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er. This mirror was forged by the godly eye in his palm, allowing him to reflect the previous and current life of his target; as long as the name of this target is in the Book of Life and Death, whatever the target did in his previous and current life will be shown clearly.
"Strange, nothing is shown in the mirror…. Are they not from this Six Path World?"
The thousand arm judges said curiously, "Really strange, if they are not beings of this world, why would they want to sneak into our hell?"
"Nothing matters anymore! We ask neither their identity nor origin, whoever trespasses into hell is considered guilty. and they must be punished for this! There are plenty of rooms in the prison of hell!"
Another lion judge laughed coldly and said, "Extraordinary individuals of the Six Path World have always been trying to sneak into hell to remove their name from the Book of Life and Death, trying to cause disruption in the order of this world. But none have succeeded, not to mention two puny pawns like you!"
"Don't even think of running! You can't possibly think that your masks could help you?"
The judges with huge head followed up, "The dimension around here is now locked, preventing you from running away even after you took down your masks."
Zhong Yue's heart thumphed and when he looked around, he realized that the dimension around this place has been locked by countless huge arrays and even the weakest among these judges were judges with power as strong as the Deity Overlords, making it difficult to run away from them.
