Myriad Devils-Chapter 288: The Most Powerful

"Good, good, good!" Elshen roared and shook his Banner of Void Spirits.

Immediately after, a sea of darkness burst out of the skull’s maw, instantly drowning the Realm Heaven.

With both principles resonating and bouncing off of each other, their power continued to multiply, seemingly without end.

Elshen didn’t bother any longer.

His ungodly nature exploded out of his body, causing the true nature of the sea of darkness to come to light.

This was not a sea of darkness per se, but an uncountable number of pained souls that released terrifying and despairing howls.

The ungodly nature intensified such a wicked power, and the ascetic practitioners were the first to bear the brunt of this attack.

"You guys like to assault my mind?" Elshen’s eyes gleamed with frosty coldness.

He watched on indifferently as the disciples of the Enlightened Yellow Dust School of Thought were gripped by waves of Void Spirits.

These were the same creatures that had succumbed due to the interference of these ascetic practitioners.

The Banner of Void Spirits lifted into the Heavens whilst Elshen recalled his Region Dominating Blades.

They hummed with utmost brilliance and vicious excitement.

One of his blades was shattered and appeared to be barely together, but the pale and detached aura of death wrapped around it, and it did not die.

The other was bathed in a red fire that released endless turbulence.

The entirety of the Realm Heaven heated up like a furnace, and Cosmos Forgers, a great distance away from the central area, saw their very existence begin to burn.

Too many.

There were too many such existences.

These Cosmos Forgers numbered in the millions upon millions. Tens and hundreds of millions had remained even after realizing that this Realm Heaven had attracted the many Schools of Thoughts.

And there were even more Realm Fathers who were not confident in clashing against the disciples from these schools, but confident enough to keep their lives.

Originating from the ancient city, they reached a number much greater than the Cosmos Forgers who dared to venture into this Realm Heaven.

However...

All under Eight Folds suffered immensely.

This heat produced waves of energy that spread out across the Realm Heaven. It alone was a torment to the soul, but intertwining with it was a corrosive force.

And this was a vicious, deathly aura.

Elshen had not yet made a move with these Region Dominating Blades, but the death toll tallied to an immeasurable amount.

This was the most souls that had ever fallen to him, and he heard the cries of each soul...

And each soul stared at him in death... and they glared at him... and they cursed him...

Their curses made the Banner of Void Spirits tremble with satisfaction.

He, Elshen, then cleaved!

Mentally unstable, Heaven Drowning Blood Calamity was likely the most unstable among the Head Disciples of the four schools.

But he was also the most powerful.

Realm Fathers...

Throughout the Jade Vine Pure World, he numbered in the top three at least.

So he had the most confidence to face Elshen’s blade.

But even he, in his unstableness, lacked the confidence in the face of these blades.

"T-T-This..." His words were caught short by the descent of deathly fire manifesting in the imagery of two world-cleaving blades.

With power that charged upwards into the realm of Dimension Lords, the Realm Heaven began destabilizing.

However, just as quickly as the destabilization began, the power of the Dimension Lord disappeared, and the Realm Heaven stabilized.

The endless remnant forces manifested as colorful oceans of torrential energies that intertwined and crashed into the edges of the Realm Heaven.

Without a source, their power continuously plummeted, and Elshen placed his Region Dominating Blades into his sheath, which was in the form of his inner realm.

The Banner of Void Spirits drew endless souls; however, some souls resisted.

Grabbing hold of the Banner of Void Spirits, Elshen shook his gently, and the attractive force immediately intensified.

Realm Fathers under the Eight Fold had no resistance toward this power. Those beyond the Eight Folds were protected by foreign powers that originated from outside the Realm Heaven.

Such powers could not resist a Realm Father of Six Folds, much less Elshen, but what it represented was the Will of the Dimension Lords.

They were clearly saying, ’Even though we’ve allowed you to kill our disciples, there are still lines you should not cross.’

Elshen understood their intentions and did not pull at those souls.

He was about to retrieve his Banner of Void Spirits into his inner realm, but then he shut his eyes tightly and thought for a moment.

Hmm...

Reopening his eyes, they glowed with an intense crimson light which swallowed the entire world.

There was still a group of creatures that were alive even after everything. Elshen had actively taken notice of them and protected them.

They had also taken notice of his gaze.

"Ah."

Elshen’s voice reverberated throughout the Realm Heaven, and thereafter, it pierced the folds of space, resounding across thirty thousand miles into the Barren Land of Old...

"I mentioned to the rogues contracted by Mystifying Jade Fantasy that they should kill. And they should kill all those who even glance at them. Now they watch me, and they await my verdict when judging the souls protected by you, Dimension Lords." Elshen said.

"And the Leader that speaks of a reality beyond his capability, is not a Leader of the people, and cannot be the Lord of a cosmic civilization."

Elshen’s words ruptured the spatial layers separating the Purity Realm Heaven and the Barren Land of Old, causing the Dimension Lords to perceive an oddness.

His words, especially, were not easily understood.

Sigh...

"I’m sure you’re confused," Elshen shook his head, and his tone became a shade darker. "When I speak, too many misunderstand, or do not understand whatsoever."

His gaze, as if it could pierce through the Realm Heaven... and the layers of obscurity in the outer world that hid the Dimension Lords, shone with the darkest shade of red.

The attractive pull radiating from the Banner of Void Spirits greatly intensified as he violently began shaking it.

And as it swallowed the final, most resistant soul of the Heaven Drowning Blood Calamity, Elshen placed the Banner of Void Spirit within his inner realm and looked beyond the Realm Heaven.

"Oh, Dimension Lords, let me oversimply my words for you... This Realm Father, Elshen, will kill all deemed enemies, because he does not fear any of you."

"This Realm Father, Elshen, is more powerful than you all." His voice was calm because he was only mentioning an insignificant matter.

"I am... the most powerful."
