Chapter 712: Chapter 711 - Instant Kill in the Eighteenth Realm, Invincible

"Ghost God!? Isn’t it supposed to be a Void creature?"

Daji exclaims in surprise.

"No, this thing is a bona fide Void creature."

Li Jing spoke up.

"Void Dead Puppet, birthed from the fallen remains of strong ones in the Void."

At his words, Daji turned her head.

"Void Dead Puppet, Master, have you encountered this creature before?"

"Hmm, I’ve seen quite a few, but never such a powerful one."

Li Jing responded.

After all, the Void Dead Puppet was one of the Void creatures he had direct contact with.

Its evil and bone-chilling aura, once felt, could never be forgotten.

So even without using the Eye of True Vision, Li Jing recognized the massive creature barreling through the Chaotic Border.

But that’s not the main point.

The point is that this thing is very powerful.

Though this Void Dead Puppet with a Ghost God figure only showed its head, its Health Bar had fully appeared in Li Jing’s view.

Its Health Bar reads, 25848.

Early stages of the Eighteenth Realm.

In terms of major realms, it completely outshines the Void Dead Puppets that Li Jing had encountered in the past, and it even surpasses him by one level currently.

Then he looked at the Essence Source displayed behind its Health Bar.

More than forty billion...

It has to be said.

This is a big guy in every sense of the word.

Whether it’s the Health Bar or the Essence Source value, this big guy has the highest displayed numbers that Li Jing has ever seen.

Its size was enough to block out the sun, and just the diameter of its head appeared to be several tens of thousands of meters.

Only a head could be seen now.

It’s difficult to imagine how massive the complete body would be.

As Li Jing watched the Void Dead Puppet slowly stretch its skull towards Underworld Country, he couldn’t help wondering.

This thing...

How did it get so big?

All of them are Ghost Gods.

Including Gui Ya, most of the Ghost Gods he’s seen in Underworld Country are of regular human size, some might be a little bigger than the average person.

Shouldn’t the deceased not be able to grow? Or is it a special individual?

Li Jing pondered.

Meanwhile,

The ghostly-looking Void Dead Puppet leaned its head into the Underworld Country and suddenly roared.

The shrill and violent roar shook the heavens and earth.

The terrifying waves of sound triggered a howling wind that swept through Abi Hell, wreaking havoc and shredding the nearby tortured souls into nothingness.

But very quickly,

under the effect of Underworld Country’s sinners’ rule, they "reborn" on the spot, continuing to endure eternal suffering.

Aside from the souls being punished nearby,

Daji gritted her teeth, struggling to stand in the gale triggered by the Void Dead Puppet’s roar. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stay steady and kept being pushed back. Her feet plowed deep furrows into the hard floor of Abi Hell.

Soon,

The wind subsided.

Daji looked up.

Li Jing stood there, unmoving.

While she was now more than a hundred meters behind him.

After a deep look at the Void Dead Puppet that made her shudder and made her feel powerless from just a roar, Daji swiftly moved to Li Jing’s side.

"Master, do... do you have a way to deal with this big guy?"

"It shouldn’t be a problem."

Li Jing responded.

"This freak is in the Eighteenth Realm, one major realm higher than me. Normally speaking, it shouldn’t be hard for me to handle."

"..."

Daji.

For a moment,

She thought she was hearing things.

Eighteenth Realm!?

Isn’t this damn realm higher than the Seventeenth Realm of the Heavenly Father’s level?

There are always people better, there’s always a higher sky.

Such a simple truth, Daji naturally understood.

There are many beings in the world stronger than herself, so running into one intermittently isn’t surprising.

Like Li Jing, the World Watcher, for example.

But a void creature, born from the corpse of a dead powerhouse, and having reached the Eighteenth Realm, that seemed a little too exaggerated.

Therefore.

Has Amaterasu gone insane?!

Such a monster lurking in the depths of the void is tolerable, but entering any Divine Domain or even the Big World is an unprecedented disaster.

This place is the Underworld Country.

The locus of X-jin’s Samsara!

If the Underworld Country was destroyed, there would be a fundamental impact on the X-jin Divine Domain.

If the Underworld Country was lost.

The X-jin Divine Domain would be truly destroyed, without a possibility of repair.

Samsara is a crucial cornerstone of the high-dimensional space constituted by heaven and earth, and it relates to the integrity of the world.

Having said that.

At this moment, in Daji’s eyes, Li Jing seemed crazier.

How did he dare to say that under normal circumstances, dealing with a Void Dead Puppet, a level above him in the Void, wouldn’t be too difficult?

The gap between the realms is as vast as the horizon.

The higher the level, the bigger the gap.

The higher you battle against, the more difficult it gets as the realm advances.

At their level, having broken free from the restrictions of realms, a difference of even one realm can create a vast gap which is unutterable, unless under special conditions, they simply wouldn’t dream about killing above their level.

Seeing Li Jing standing still without any intention of moving, an image of waiting for the Void Dead Puppet to cross the boundary, Daji was scourged by the wind.

"Master, how about we flee?"

"Tch."

Li Jing clicked his tongue, saying.

"They’re just a bunch of Void Dead Puppets, is it really necessary for you to be this anxious?"

?

Daji slowly typed out a question mark.

A bunch?

Subconsciously, she looked up and beyond the Void Dead Puppet that couldn’t cross over due to its large size.

She shouldn’t have looked.

Upon seeing, she felt her legs go weak.

In the endless void behind the Void Dead Puppet, she could vaguely see one gigantic shadow looming after another.

Those...

They weren’t all Void Dead Puppets at the same level as the one in front of her, were they?

Damn it!

On the verge of cursing out loud, Daji staggered, her legs involuntarily wobbling under her spacious kimono.

"Roar!"

Another roar rang out.

The massive sound wave resparked a vicious wind, several times more terrifying than before, and Daji was swept off her feet, her clothes bursting off her in the unstoppable gust.

Seeing this, Li Jing frowned and reached out to catch her.

Thanks to him, Daji managed to land and steady herself.

Being stripped by the wind, she barely paid mind to covering herself, and instead looked up desperately.

In front.

The ghostly Void Dead Puppet extended its enormous claws, gripped the chaotic border like someone opening a window, and vaulted over with its massive body following its head.

Damn...

Really big...

Daji gawked helplessly, trembling incessantly.

Most importantly...

There seemed to be even bigger ones behind...

Just as she was shivering in fear, a burst of manic laughter rang out.

"Hahaha, Tamamo no Mae, I bet you didn’t expect to die just as you started following your new master, did you?"

Daji was startled by the voice and instinctively looked towards it.

Subsequently, she noticed a brutal hole in the chest of the Void Dead Puppet that had just crossed the boundary, within which a "tiny" figure was sitting.

This "tiny" figure was none other than Yamata no Orochi, who had revealed his true form.

Of course, his true form was anything but tiny.

But compared to the immensely huge Void Dead Puppet, even after revealing his true form, he was no different from a small eight-headed and eight-tailed bug.

That was not all.

Daji also noticed a grey slab of stone floating above Yamata no Orochi’s head.

It was releasing a subtle power, apparently establishing some inexplicable connection between Yamata no Orochi and the ghostly Void Dead Puppet.

Seeing this scene, Daji reacted instantly.

She seemed to have misunderstood the mysterious tablet, and Amaterasu herself had concealed something.

The tablet itself should be the key to controlling creatures of the void, not just for recording!

If she could get hold of this tablet...

Just as she had this thought, the Void Dead Puppet, which had completed the cross-realm travel, stared at her. Its eyes burst with terrifying red light. Daji was so startled that she immediately hid behind Li Jing.

"Master! Seriously, let’s run!"

"Why? We finally got a glimpse of the tablet, didn’t we?"

Li Jing turned his head to ask, prying away her small hand that was clutching his own.

"The high-ranking officials of the Underworld Country will be alarmed soon. Someone will be here shortly."

As he spoke, he took out a set of JK uniforms and stuffed them into Daji’s arms, grinning broadly.

"You’ll be stripped naked like this. Get dressed first. I’ll try to get this sorted out as soon as possible."

Hearing him say that, Daji was utterly bewildered.

What was Li Jing planning...

Did he really intend to fight?

Before she could react, Li Jing took two steps forward, flexed his muscles and bones, and turned to her.

"It’s been a while since I had a proper fight. This is a rare opportunity, I’m going to give it my all."

Having said that, he turned his head back.

The very next second.

A "buzz", an invisible vortex swept indiscriminately around Li Jing, who was at its center.

The hellfire of Abi Hell, which was said to be everlasting, was extinguished in that instance, then re-ignited immediately after.

At the same time.

A "boom" echoed through the grey sky of the Underworld Country as black thunder ripped through it, striking Li Jing at once.

The sudden strange turn of events startled Daji.

Just now...

That must have been Heavenly Punishment, right?

Li Jing is the World Watcher, how could he be struck by Heavenly Punishment!?

Before she had a chance to ponder this, she noticed, to her astonishment, that Li Jing, who had just been struck by Heavenly Punishment, was unscathed. His body was enveloped in a black thunder, slowly rising and releasing a breathtaking aura.

Daji was flabbergasted.

She understood.

But Heavenly Punishment was clearly a unique power of the Will of Heaven.

Even if he were a World Watcher, there’s no reason he could harness such power.

Looking back.

Daji had seen Heavenly Punishment before.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Punishment swirling around Li Jing was the most violent and terrifying she had ever witnessed!

On the other side.

Yamata no Orochi, who was controlling the Void Dead Puppet through the tablet, was also shocked at Li Jing’s current state, and then laughed almost hysterically.

"That’s it. As a human cultivator, you are indeed exceptional to have become a Watcher. But unfortunately, even this is not enough to break Amaterasu’s plan!"

But before he could finish his sentence.

"Boom boom boom boom!"

Four consecutive thunderous roars.

Four Heavenly Tribulation Thunders descended, instantly severing the limbs of the Eighteenth Realm Void Dead Puppet that Yamata no Orochi was controlling.

???

Yamata no Orochi.

Although Heavenly Punishment is terrifying.

But for beings that have freed themselves from the constraints of realms, it’s actually not that terrible.

Not to mention that Yamata no Orochi has reached such a level, in fact, there have been many ways to avoid the destructive damage brought by Heavenly Punishment since the Thirteen Realms.

Like the Eighteenth Realm Void Dead Puppet he’s controlling now.

It should have been able to withstand Heavenly Punishment without sustaining any physical damage.

Why...

Yamata no Orochi had no idea.

Heavenly Punishment from the Will of Heaven or certain rules is strictly defined by a "program", usually targeting the things that need to be destroyed. The power will not be too great nor too small.

With higher levels, one can master various ways to avoid Heavenly Punishment, thus the ones who consider themselves "well-versed" in Heavenly Punishment often have a wrong perception.

Heavenly Punishment, is just that.

Little do they know that the power of Heavenly Punishment is almost limitless.

If the Will of Heaven wishes.

It can even destroy everything in the entire Big World with a single thunderbolt.

However, this is a situation that would only appear when the heaven is determined to destroy the world.

It’s not commonly seen.

Those who have the chance to see it will not foolishly stick around to watch. That’s simply seeking death.

The Heavenly Punishment that Li Jing wields isn’t as extreme as it can be, but with his current ability, he can fully control the Heavenly Punishment of the Dao.

Simultaneously, with the support of his max-level "Heart’s Command", the power of the Heavenly Punishment he holds increases exponentially. In addition, the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, which greatly enhances Heavenly Punishment, can be instantly activated and enter to its highest ninth phase.

The Void Dead Puppet in front of him only lost its four limbs after four strikes of lightning, exhibiting an excessive power.

At this moment, Yamata no Orochi is in shock.

With a single move, Li Jing changes into Heavenly Punishment, appearing instantly in front of the chest of the Void Dead Puppet where Yamata no Orochi is, then points with a finger.

!!!

Yamata no Orochi.

Li Jing’s finger moves slowly.

However, Yamata no Orochi realizes he has no room to avoid it.

Just as the finger, wrapped in black lightning, is about to touch him, Yamata no Orochi clenches his teeth harshly, and the stone tablet floating above his head suddenly descends.

Seeing this, Li Jing frowns.

It happens unexpectedly.

It’s too late for him to retract his hand.

"Bang!"

His finger strikes the stone tablet, and instantly feels a shocking repulsive force.

By the time Li Jing recovers, he has been blown tens of thousands of meters away.

During his retreat, Li Jing is full of surprise.

He has entered the ninth phase of the Body of Thunder Punishment in All Worlds, and his combat power has reached its peak without relying on external forces.

Eighteenth Realm.

In front of him, it is still inferior.

However, the mysterious stone tablet unexpectedly has the power to repel him and send him flying...

This thing.

It’s probably not just there to control void creatures!

In between his thoughts, Li Jing moves once more, transforming into Thunder and returning to his original position.

Just at this moment.

The Void Dead Puppet, brutally stripped of its limbs, uses its formidable power to eliminate the Power of Heavenly Punishment left on its wounds. It regrows its limbs and stands up again.

At its rear.

Two more Void Dead Puppets have crossed over.

These two Void Dead Puppets look like the Ghost God Clan, and their power is slightly weaker than the one controlled by Yamata no Orochi, but they are still at the Eighteenth Realm.

Here.

Yamata no Orochi has a gasping Void Dead Puppet that he controls. Clearly.

Controlling the stone tablet to strike Li Jing has put a great burden on him, and he can’t recover in a short amount of time.

When he sees Li Jing coming back, Yamata no Orochi freezes in fear and lets out a panicked roar.

"Kill him!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two Eighteenth Realm Void Dead Puppets who just crossed over let out angry roars.

At the same time.

"Boom boom" Two incredibly potent yet somewhat slender Divine Heavenly Punishments rip through the sky, instantly piercing through the heads of the two Void Dead Puppets.

In an instant.

The health bars of the two Eighteenth Realm Void Dead Puppets go to zero, and their massive bodies slowly turn into flying sand and disappear with the wind.

!!!

Yamata no Orochi.

!!!

Daji.

The power of Li Jing is incredible, both had already vaguely recognized this.

But they didn’t realize it could go even beyond!

Eighteenth Realm.

Instant kill!

The two annihilated Void Dead Puppets hadn’t even had a chance to follow Yamata no Orochi’s instruction and make a move...

Yamata no Orochi is sweating bullets.

He realizes one thing.

The fact that he is still alive is only because Li Jing wants to "retrieve" the mysterious stone tablet.

Otherwise, he should have been killed as soon as they met...

Seeing the calm expression on Li Jing as he gazes over, Yamata no Orochi’s body rigidifies. Even when someone flies over to take the stone tablet from above his head, he doesn’t dare make a move.

Behind him.

Daji dumbly watches the scene before her, then lowers her head to look at the JK uniform in her arms and quickly puts it on.
