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

Chapter 722: Chapter 327: Replacing Heaven with an Immortal_2

When one merges with the heaven and earth, gathering myriad essences into a single realm, one becomes a grotto heavens sacred ground, able to be called an Earth Immortal.

Only those whose will transcends the mundane and replaces the heavenly law of a realm, forging supreme celestial might, can be called a Heavenly Immortal!”

“Even if I annihilate Netherworld’s big army, what of it? Those mere ants are nothing but a prologue for my descent into the mortal world.

Once I escape this prison, I will transform my will into the law of Yomotsu Hirasaka in the Netherworld, henceforth free from the world of Primal Chaos Realm’s suppression.

In the face of a Heavenly Immortal’s might, how can any number of mundane objects possibly contend against me?”

“As for so-called Bull Head and Amaterasu Omikami? They’re just the lucky ones who chance upon the momentum of the world of Primal Chaos Realm.

...

They achieve self-fulfillment by borrowing the momentum of heaven and earth, ultimately falling into the lower path.

Without ever having replaced the celestial law of a realm or comprehended heavenly might, how can they compete with me?”

The words were spoken lightly, but they brimmed with strong confidence; in the eyes of the Judge of Life and Death, all he had to do was wait for the Imperial Edict to wear off, and then he could dominate the rise and fall of Ying Island, laying the groundwork for a sweeping invasion from the kingdom of Hell.

By that time, he might even contest for the position of 10th Hall Yama.

With that thought, even the Judge of Life and Death couldn’t help but feel his spirit stir.

At that moment, the Judge of Life and Death’s True Spirit suddenly surged with an eerie forewarning.

Without any specific cause, the sense of crisis contained within sent chills down his spine.

An intangible force pierced the Judge of Life and Death’s Spirit Soul instantaneously, tearing a small piece of it; there were no spell fluctuations, no traces of Divine Skills.

“What is this?”

Fear welled up in his heart, and he was even heedless of the pain from his Spirit Soul being torn; his Heavenly Immortal Intent instantly enveloped this world.

Yet where the Heavenly Immortal Intent reached, all was deathly still, without a trace of any power’s interference.

The next moment, that eerie premonition rose again, and without the slightest hesitation, the Judge of Life and Death’s figure shifted in an instant to the boundary of this world.

But even so, he was still unable to evade that nameless crisis, as his Spirit Soul was once again pierced by an intangible force.

This time, even before the Judge of Life and Death could catch his breath, the sense of crisis struck again, and this time the Judge finally used his trump card.

“Book of Life and Death!”

A book as black as ink landed in his hand; it was a subsidiary volume of the Netherworld Treasure, the Book of Life and Death, possessing a portion of the book’s authority, powerful enough to be on par with the finest Immortal Artifacts.

As the Book of Life and Death appeared, phantasmal True Names flickered around the Judge of Life and Death, reflecting countless spirits blocking him in his former life.

This is one of the Divine Arts of the Book of Life and Death; as long as one is recorded in the book, it can control a strand of their True Spirit, pilfering the position for the Judge of Life and Death to command.

It is said that the main volume of the Book of Life and Death records all beings below Golden Immortals in all heavens.

But the Judge of Life and Death held only a subsidiary volume, which mostly catalogued beings beneath the Immortal Realm; yet even so, after tens of thousands of years of accumulation, it has reached a terrifyingly vast number.

Moreover, leveraging his pantheon position, the Judge of Life and Death successfully recorded the True Names of two Heavenly Immortals.

As the dark Hell light appeared, two decrepit Heavenly Immortal phantoms manifested before the Judge of Life and Death, merging with him into one.

This was the Heavenly Immortal life-exchange technique, wherein once in danger, the recorded Heavenly Immortal could take the hit, even allowing one to be exempt from Karmic Divine Power through this life-exchange technique.

However, the next instant, that intangible force still penetrated his Spirit Soul and even shook a strand of his True Spirit.

Neither the True Names of the Book of Life and Death nor the Heavenly Immortal life-exchange technique could withstand that arcane Divine Power.

A nameless fury surged from the bottom of the Judge of Life and Death’s heart; although unable to know what that arcane Divine Power was, the implicit karmic ties told him that the Caster was none other than the Fengdu Emperor.

“You deserve to die!!!”

The might of the Heavenly Immortal was unleashed without reservation at that moment. An enormous deity capable of touching the heavens materialized within the world, holding a judge’s brush in his right hand and clutching the Book of Life and Death in his left, his writing aiming to tear apart this world.

Behind him, the phantoms borne of the myriad beings testified to derived countless worlds, following the Judge of Life and Death’s movements under the brush of the judge’s pen.

The firmament trembled as if shaken by the Judge of Life and Death’s strike.

And at this moment, the earth transformed by dark Hell surged and devoured the True Names of countless beings, while heavenly lights descended upon the Book of Life and Death, a Divine Treasure of the Divinity Path.

The supreme might that had shaken the heavens and earth was suppressed in an instant, even the falling ink was devoured by dark Hell.

The Judge of Life and Death stood rigid in place, as the aura of the Heavenly Immortal slowly subsided.

Rationality regained the upper hand, and after all, the Judge of Life and Death did not choose to forcibly break the Imperial Edict.

Afterwards, the strange crisis did not appear again, as if invoking that Divine Power came at a great cost.

Reflecting upon himself, the three wounds that pierced his Spirit Soul were not considered severe to the Judge of Life and Death. Apart from the last one that shook part of his True Spirit, these injuries could not even affect his strength.

Instead, it was his attempt to forcefully break through the Imperial Decree prohibition in a fit of rage that brought about two backlashes from his origin, causing significant losses to the Judge of Life and Death’s foundation.

This made the Judge of Life and Death realize that enduring such a peculiar attack was by far better than trying to breach the Imperial Decree prohibition.

“I will wait! I would like to see, in half a month, what he can come up with to stop me?”

However, this thought was shattered just one day later, when three peculiar attacks descended once again, shadow-like, and the wounds tearing through his Spirit Soul grew even deeper.

The third day…

The fourth day…

On the fifth day, as the killing ordeal drew increasingly near, a trigger in the laws of karma suddenly brought a name to the bottom of the Judge of Life and Death’s heart.

Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power!

In an instant, endless fear rose from the bottom of the Judge of Life and Death’s heart. This curse-killing technique, known throughout the heavens, had only been heard of in legends, never seen in action.

Within these tales, even the Highest Heaven Exalted Ones would fall to the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power.

The Judge of Life and Death could have never imagined that the seemingly harmless Divine Skill law was actually this Heavenly General Great Divine Power.

Looking around at himself, the Judge of Life and Death was horrified to discover that the Spirit Soul wounds from the past few days had not healed in the slightest, and the injuries sustained over these days were subtly interlinked.

If the next curse attack were to come, it would surely damage his True Spirit and cause a great decline in his strength.

“I must break out! I must escape!”

At this moment, the Judge of Life and Death could no longer care about his own depletion, as he knew all too well, that if he could not leave this world, the only thing waiting for him was a dead end.

The will of the Heavenly Immortal manifested his law body, with the Judge of Life and Death holding the Book of Life and Death and the judge’s brush in hand; numerous True Names on that book recording the lives and deaths of innumerable beings disappeared, with pages scattering across the realms.

With every page that scattered, the will of the Heavenly Immortal grew stronger, and he used this Divine Treasure and the accumulation of tens of thousands of years as the price, all in hopes of breaking through the seal of this realm.

Shen Yuan, after all, had never ascended to the trap; even an Imperial Edict originating from the Great Tao Origin has its limits.

As numerous True Names converged, the will of the Heavenly Immortal transformed into a towering and immense local deity.

Without the aid of any Divine Arts, the judge’s brush in hand was swung like an axe that split the heavens and earth, completely rending the entire realm.

The firmament collapsed and the tumultuous roaring sound spread through the world created by the Imperial Edict, plunging everything around it into Turmoil at that moment.

The Judge of Life and Death’s face was pale, but he could not help but let out an excited laugh as he stepped out and vanished into the confines.

The will of the Heavenly Immortal that once replaced the heavenly way of a realm spread throughout the Yomotsu Hirasaka in an instant, and an angry roar came from the mouth of the Judge of Life and Death.

“Divinity Path fake Emperor, come forth and meet your end!”

A towering giant god appeared within the Yomotsu Hirasaka, with the power of the Immortal Spirit as vast as the Abyssal Sea pouring out, attempting to destroy everything in sight.

However, in the next moment, the giant god that the Judge of Life and Death had become stood frozen in place.

As the Judge of Life and Death surveyed his surroundings, he saw only a vibrant land brimming with life, with mountains and rivers, grass and birds, and all kinds of beasts, a world completely contrary to the memory of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Above the firmament, a pale hand held up the red Great Sun, like a descended deity overlooking him.

Malice from the entire world assaulted him in an instant.
