Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1779: Chapter 1818: Cursed for Three Days

The sound of cracking emanated from various places on the lava ground, as one Shura Emperor after another with a terrifying aura emerged from the underground.

In just a few breaths, five additional Shura Emperors appeared.

The weaker ones were in the First Layer, while the stronger ones were in the Sixth Layer.

In total, seven gigantic Shura Emperors intercrossed to encircle them, blocking their path.

As the Eleventh Layer continued to crumble, this place would soon merge with the Hell Realm, and even more Shura Emperors would come.

The Tiger Head Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor crossed his hands in front of his chest, overlooking them with his massive moon-like eyes, and said grimly:

"Making trouble in our Hell Realm, you won’t be going back!"

The Nine Nether Demon Venerable and the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable had a solemn look; if a fight broke out, they would be at a disadvantage.

Once reinforcements from the Hell Realm arrived, they might end up staying in the Hell Realm.

The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable clasped his hands together and said: "This poor monk has come to protect the Supreme Ancient Saint and does not wish to cause slaughter."

"But, if you insist on battle, this monk will accompany you."

He removed the Buddha Beads around his neck, and a magnificent temple gradually emerged behind him, with endless Buddha statues faintly visible within.

The Hell Realm’s Shura Emperors swept their gazes over the three, their eyes carrying hints of apprehension.

Especially when their gaze fell on the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, the look of apprehension deepened.

If a real fight ensued, they might not come off well.

Yet, at this moment, the Asura Saint Son’s eyes flashed sharply, saying: "Do not let them go."

"Especially the human named Jiang Fan, he has the Peace Monument on him!"

Hmm?

The Shura Emperors’ eyes simultaneously emitted a frightening light, and the Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor glared angrily at Jiang Fan with a smile:

"So!"

"You’re the one who summoned our Hell Realm Master’s avatar without offering tributes, making a profit instead, the Little People Clan!"

Eh?

The expressions of the Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable, Nine Nether Demon Venerable, and Heavenly State’s Great Sacrifice hardened for a moment.

They all looked towards Jiang Fan, eyes full of astonishment.

The Hell Realm Master was taken for a ride by Jiang Fan?

The Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable suddenly felt relieved about "senior, wait a moment," as the Realm Master had also been skinned a little by him, why should he be surprised that a Buddha Venerable like himself was conned by Jiang Fan?

Facing the astonished gazes of the three sages, Jiang Fan remained calm and composed, saying:

"Seniors, don’t listen to his nonsense, nothing of the sort happened."

Thud!

The Seven-Prisons Shura Emperor stomped a foot, trampling a vast area, his sheep face crammed together, full of ferocity:

"Still lying? Our Other Shore Realm Master cursed you within the whole Hell Realm for three days and nights!"

The whole Hell Realm?

Could it be akin to how the ancient saint of Yunhuang announced his Divinity Transformation, notifying every corner of the Central Earth?

And for three full days throughout the Hell Realm?

Jiang Fan’s face turned green, retorting angrily: "That vile woman, didn’t I just take a Cause and Effect and Merit Divine Stele from her? Then not to mention a Breaking Boundary Device."

"Does she have to curse me like this in front of the entire Hell Realm?"

"Simply outrageous!"

If he had known she would tarnish his reputation so much, Jiang Fan wouldn’t have returned the World Artifact to her!

If he can survive and return, he’ll use the Dog Bowl to retrieve the Book of Life and Death!

The trio of Nine Nether Demon Venerable turned to stone again.

What’s this?

He even tricked the World Artifact out of them?

Is this something achievable by someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm?

"Humph!" The Tiger Head Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor laughed angrily: "And you say the Other Shore Realm Master bullies too much?"

"Fine, since you have arrived, don’t think of leaving!"

"Hand over the Peace Monument and obediently follow us back to the Hell Realm, and we’ll spare the others!"

The faces of Nine Nether Demon Venerable and others turned cold, simultaneously protecting Jiang Fan behind them.

Yue Mingzhu hurriedly activated the Emperor’s Gaze Technique, watching the fate and fortune with his nine-colored eyes, and relaxed a little upon seeing.

Although the current situation was urgent, it didn’t show signs of extremely low fate, an omen of great misfortune.

Indeed.

Just as he relaxed, several breaths of a Human Clan Sage flickered above his head.

Among them, one carried a horsetail whisk, exuding an immortal aura, surprisingly was the Great Sacrifice of Taicang State.

Beside him were seven other Great Sacrifices from various states.

They materialized from virtual to reality, appearing beside the Great Sacrifice of Heavenly State.

Nine Great Sacrifices stood in a row, emitting nine distinct yet intrinsically related mystical rhythms.

Seeing them arrive, Nine Nether Demon Venerable and Ancient Zen Buddha Venerable breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Great Sacrifices here, there’s nothing to fear.

Back then, when eight Great Sacrifices joined forces, they equaled the Heavenly Realm’s Nine-Day Giant Emperor.

Now, with nine Great Sacrifices gathered, each having received Merit Reward from the Sage’s Merit Divine Stele, their strength surpasses the past.

Joined forces, matched only by a Saint.

Indeed, their presence made the seven Shura Emperors feel as if facing a formidable adversary, gathering around the Eight-Prisons Shura King.

Taicang State’s Great Sacrifice gently shook the horsetail whisk, calmly saying:

"The idea of the Peace Monument, you cannot afford."

"If you really want to snatch it, then consider whether our Ancient Saints would break the limit of Saint not appearing."

Seeing this, the Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor’s gaze deepened.

He had no doubt about the words of the Great Sacrifice.

The Peace Monument has the influence to alter the fate of a world, something no other World Artifact can achieve.

It is worth an Ancient Saint’s protection.

Pity the arrival of several Great Sacrifices, yet when the Eleventh Layer completely collapses and becomes part of the Hell Realm, even an Ancient Saint intervening may become ineffective.

Because when a Central Earth Ancient Saint intervenes, it would inevitably provokes the Hell Realm Master.

This is why he didn’t initially snatch the Peace Monument, but talked to Jiang Fan.

He was actually stalling.

Unfortunately, the first to arrive was the nine Great Sacrifices, whose combined strength isn’t something his group can match, the opportunity has slipped.

The Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor scanned the surroundings, snorting: "Humans, are you daring to open the portal between two worlds, preparing to provoke a war?"

For millennia, the Hell Realm always wanted to open the portal between realms, excluding now.

Because the Hell Realm is still at war with the Ancient Giants, unable to engage in a two-front battle.

Taicang State’s Great Sacrifice calmly replied: "That altar, isn’t it only your Shura Emperors who can activate?"

Several Shura Emperors paused, looking over at the human-looking Asura Saint Son, eyes flickering with doubt.

The Asura Saint Son had no choice but to reveal his true form.

A Shura tribe, twice the height of a normal person, entirely blood-red emerged before everyone.

"Bloodthirsty Shura Clan’s Demon Emperor?" Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor showed surprise: "When did Bloodthirsty Shura lineage have someone like you?"

"And why did you appear in the Central Earth Realm?"

Before the presence of high-tier Shura Emperors from the Hell Realm, the Asura Saint Son didn’t dare act rashly, cupping his fists respectfully:

"Junior is accidentally left behind in the Central Earth Realm from the Shura tribe."

"Fearful of massacre in Central Earth, I disguised myself as one of them."

"Currently being hunted by them, I had no choice but to activate the portal to escape back to Hell Realm. If not for encountering seniors, I’d be dead by now."

In response, the sheep-faced Seven-Prisons Shura Emperor nodded: "He was indeed being pursued."

"If I hadn’t shielded him, he would have died at the hands of that Great Sacrifice in the Two Calamities Realm."

Accident?

The Eight-Prisons Shura Emperor’s gaze flickered, deep in suspicion, but naturally had to protect a member of his Shura tribe.

He glanced at the others, saying: "Since it was accidentally opened, it’s no issue."

"This place is about to merge with the Hell Realm, to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, quickly retreat."

The sages all looked towards the Great Sacrifice of Taicang State, waiting for him to make a decision.

Yet the Great Sacrifice looked towards Jiang Fan.
