Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 422: Chapter 191: Earth Goddess’s Imperial Token, Fengdu Emperor_2

Although it was his first contact with this Imperial Seal, Shen Yuan did not feel any awkwardness when invoking the Gods Purging Divine Power to connect with the seal; instead, he felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.

The origin of the Incense Offering Divinity Path gradually took residence inside the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal, filling the gaps of the Seal’s origin, and that seemingly unremarkable official seal began to reveal a majestic force that far surpassed the confines of the mortal realm.

Invisible fluctuations from within the Imperial Seal spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire Fengdu City; he could even sense the rhythms of this ancient Netherworld city before him.

His Divine Sense seemed to be connected with the countless City Gods and supernatural beings within Fengdu City, a single thought would allow him to borrow the strength of these numerous Netherworld demon gods.

With the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal in his left hand and as a response to the Gods Purging Divine Power, an imposing aura as vast as the Abyssal Sea emanated from Shen Yuan’s body.

Despite being extremely youthful and faint, while within Fengdu City, Shen Yuan’s aura had already acquired a trace of the sovereign’s incorporeal persona.

The light pressure spread outward, and after the arrival of the 10th Hall Yama, Shen Yuan finally spoke his first words.

“Kneel!”

The commanding voice echoed throughout Fengdu City.

Qinguang King’s expression shook, and anger soon appeared on his face.

In his view, the person before him was merely an incarnation of one of the Constellation Bureau Emperors, not even at his prime.

As the leader of the 10th Hall Yama with the home-field advantage, his status was surely a level lower, but in terms of strength, he certainly had the upper hand over his opponent.

Under such circumstances, he could maintain respect towards the other party in speech out of regard for the Divinity Path ranking, but what right did the other have to demand he kneel?

The anger that just surfaced instantly dissipated as Qinguang King sneered and said,

“Kneel? Does this Emperor think himself still living ten thousand years ago?”

However, as soon as Qinguang King’s words fell, a sudden change occurred throughout Fengdu City.

Inside Fengdu City, within temples where City Gods and supernatural beings slumbered, the ancient supernatural beings began to murmur unconsciously in their sleep.

“Kneel!”

“Kneel!”

Following instinct, they recited Shen Yuan’s reprimanding command, unable to resist the will of Fengdu even in slumber.

Although the City Gods and supernatural beings did not all possess long lifespans, among them were no lack of Ghost Kings and Great Ghost Kings that transcended the limits of the current world.

Even among those City Gods were ones from temples thousands of years old still located within Great Xia, whose unbroken incense had maintained their powerful realms comparable to that of the Void Refining True Monarchs.

The slumbering City Gods were not subject to the oppression of the rules of heaven and earth, and the power they unwittingly invoked reached the level of the Void Refining True Monarchs.

A chorus of reciting voices intertwined with the divine foundation of the supernatural beings, weaving together in the void to form a colossal bronze Ancient Bell.

As the bell tolled, it was as if the Imperial Edict of billions of supernatural beings reverberated throughout Fengdu City.

At this moment, all five Yamas present could hear the recitations from billions of supernatural beings.

“Thud!”

The last of the 10th Hall Yama, Samsara King, could no longer withstand the voices of the billions of supernatural beings’ recitations, and his knees thunderously hit the ground.

Protruding veins surged on his fierce face, and large beads of sweat slowly slid down his forehead.

Had Yama’s incorporeal persona not been suppressed by that wisp of aura from the Lord of Mount Tai, he could naturally ignore the recitations of these billions of supernatural beings with his high standing.

But the fact was… there were no ifs!

The Netherworld Commander’s Peak Return-to-Void realm was not enough to ignore the recitations of billions of supernatural beings, and the suppression of standing also made it impossible for him to resist the will of Fengdu, leaving him no choice but to follow Shen Yuan’s reprimanding command.

Followed by the Equality King, City King, and Biancheng King, the three other Yamas also knelt under the will of Fengdu.

Among the five Yamas, only Qinguang King, the leader of the Yamas, remained standing.

Qinguang King, too, was under unprecedented pressure at this moment, bearing the Divinity Path Phantom of Mount Tai with one hand and suppressing the Four Netherworld Commanders with the other.

Although he still retained some spare strength, he could only barely cope in front of the recitations of billions of supernatural beings.

As the four other Yamas knelt, the pressure he faced reached its peak.

His right hand, holding up the Divinity Path Mount Tai, shook continuously, and the pervasive recitations subtly influenced his will, his legs trembling.

Within the Emperor’s Carriage, Shen Yuan watched with interest as Qinguang King struggled to keep standing, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.

It must be known that by invoking the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal and harnessing the incantations of billions of supernatural beings to issue this scolding edict, it might appear simple, yet it is a true lethal move.

Shen Yuan held control over the Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin; Qinguang King’s Divinity Path ranking was far beneath his. Coupled with Shen Yuan’s home-field advantage through the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal, the seemingly simple command to kneel contained the dual suppression of Divinity Path ranking and the will of Fengdu.

The hierarchy of Divinity Path rank compelled Qinguang King to accept the “kneel” command, while the will of Fengdu’s home-field advantage impacted the daylight wandering deity’s physical body he possessed.

Yet even when faced with the dual suppression at the level of divinity and flesh, Qinguang King was still able to hold on with difficulty, which was sufficient to make Shen Yuan reassess him.

Suddenly, a flash of starry brilliance crossed Shen Yuan’s eyes, and he murmured with sudden enlightenment,

“So that’s how it is, it’s his own Netherworld Ghost Path cultivation!”

As the head of the 10th Hall Yama, Qinguang King naturally possessed more than merely the position of a Divinity Path Yama.

In fact, apart from the divine reverence and divine monarchs of the lower realms who have their foundation entirely in the Divinity Path, many powerful experts in the realm of Divinity Path who consider the beings of all worlds do not rely solely on their Divinity Path ranking like Qinguang King.

Because everyone knows that the Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin is controlled by Heavenly Court, which, if they wish, could even depose the ranking of a Divinity Path Emperor.

No strong individual desires to entrust the cultivation of countless years to the will of Heavenly Court; hence, there must be another path of cultivation apart from the Divinity Path.

For the supernatural beings of the Netherworld, that second path is naturally the Ghost Path.

Although the cultivation of the Ghost Path is far inferior to the Divinity Path, it can play a greater role when facing the suppression of the Divinity Path. Presently, Qinguang King is relying on the cultivation of the Ghost Path to adamantly resist.

His teeth tightly clenched, his gaze towards the middle of the Emperor’s Carriage filled with resentment.

Qinguang King was well aware that the person inside the Emperor’s Carriage was suppressing him with the Divinity Path ranking, and his true strength might not necessarily surpass his own; hence, he was reluctant to kneel and submit.

The aura of his Divinity Path continuously waned, but in its place surged a skyward ghostly energy. Dark water monsters centered around Qinguang King began to expand in all directions, resisting the chants of the billions of supernatural beings.

Finally, Qinguang King’s body bent slightly, and faced with growing pressure, he ultimately made his decision.

The palm of his hand, which was holding down the four Netherworld Commanders, slowly opened, and with a flash of dark brilliance, he reached out into the void. An authority token, flickering with the colors of Primal Chaos and as weighty as the earth itself, materialized in his hand.

Raising the authority token of Primal Chaos colors high, Qinguang King declared in a loud voice,

“This is the Imperial Token bestowed by the Earth Goddess Queen to follow heaven’s example.”

“Matters concerning the Netherworld shall be adjudicated by the Netherworld, they are not to be meddled with by outsiders!”

As his words fell, the Earth Goddess’s Imperial Token transformed into a streak of light that enveloped this realm. The words spoken by Qinguang King became engraved in the fabric of the world as if they were laws.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After the Earth Goddess’s Imperial Token disappeared, even if the Qinguang King’s Seal was taken away, it did nothing to deter him, and yet his heart bled at this moment.

This Earth Goddess’s Imperial Token, bestowed by the Goddess Queen of the Earth when the kingdom of Hell was established, had always been regarded by him as his most vital trump card. It was also his biggest reliance for daring to invade the Primal Chaos Realm.

The Goddess Queen of the Earth was one of the most ancient and prestigious innate deities in the Netherworld, and in the epochs of old, she was known as one of the Six Sovereigns alongside the Heavenly Court’s Four Great Emperors.

Had it not been for the Goddess Queen of the Earth’s choice to oversee the Netherworld and refuse the Heavenly Court’s command, the position of the Six Sovereigns might have persisted to this day.

As the rules were rewritten by the Earth Goddess’s Imperial Token, Shen Yuan was able to distinctly feel the laws of the world reviving, expelling him from Fengdu City.

The decree of the Imperial Token is supreme, and even the Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin cannot defy it.

“Is this the power of an Imperial Token?”

However, the scene before him did not evoke any worries in Shen Yuan.

He merely said in a soft voice,

“If outsiders are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the Netherworld, doesn’t it mean everything is fine if you become one of them?”

Supporting the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal with his hand, the Divine Capacity Seed within Shen Yuan burst forth with brilliant firelight, as all the origins of the Divinity Path converged within him.

Sitting upon the throne of the Mount Tai King, the Peak Stage Gods Purging Divine Power vaguely stepped into the Second Realm, ascending to a higher level.

His will merged with the world, and his lips parted, each word inscribed into the Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin,

“I hold the authority over the Incense Offering Divinity Path Origin, I possess the Fengdu Emperor’s Seal.

I am to be, the Fengdu Emperor!”
