Wet viviparity

Chapter 880 Yin Army, Two Gods' Words
"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar, as if the sky were shattering, suddenly exploded above everyone's heads, causing the entire Flag Gate Cave to shake violently, with shattered skulls and corpses falling in a flurry.

The rocky ceiling above the cave, which had stood as solid as diamond for countless years, was suddenly torn open by a tremendous force, like a fragile eggshell. The dim sunlight, mixed with boiling, malevolent energy, poured down instantly, illuminating everything inside the cave.

The Crying Ancestor, the Horse King Little God, the Hundred Ugly Mourning Aunt, and even the Luo Man Corpse Child all subconsciously looked up.

Just one glance was enough to send the first three into an icy abyss.

What should have been a sky filled with gloomy clouds and thick, dark clouds was now filled with tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers and generals.

Looking up, the first thing that catches the eye is the dense array of swords, spears, and halberds standing upright like a black jungle. The cold light on their blades forms one after another, circle after circle, colliding with each other, clanging and clanging incessantly.

Thick, inky clouds, layer upon layer, stood like stacked blankets, filled with demon generals in full armor.

Their armor was ancient and crude, covered with marks from swords and axes, exuding the fierce and deadly aura of countless battles. Some had blue faces and fangs, while others were skeletal remains. Their eyes gleamed with various divine lights as they coldly surveyed the cave that had been opened up.

Within some ghastly green clouds, resembling dried-up ravines and twisted and churning, entwined enormous, half-real snake demons, while ape spirits and ghostly tigers leaped and pounced, each roaring silently, their sharp teeth gleaming, their long tails lashing out at the clouds, scattering sparks, their ferocious and violent aura almost overwhelming.

Higher up, and further away, there were cavalry formations riding tall horses and clad in full armor; malevolent spirits seeping from the clouds, condensing like dripping wax; and ceremonial musicians beating war drums made of human skin and playing bone flutes. The bizarre and fantastical creatures crowded the sky with their strange shapes.

High up there, at least a hundred feet above the ground, stood several figures of ghosts, gods, and judges of the underworld. The scene was magnificent, terrifying, and oppressive, as if an army from somewhere in the underworld had been moved here.

Ma Wang Xiaoshen tilted his head back, spinning in place as he looked at the layers of ghostly soldiers and generals camped on the clouds above. His brain went numb, and he felt a dizzy sensation as if he couldn't breathe. He murmured, "Did that person send all the ghostly armies from the underworld of the spiritual mountains of the southern lands to this place?!"

"Ancestor!"

He looked at the Crying Ancestor and cried out as if grasping at a straw.

The Old Ancestor Kuma sat motionless, his primordial spirit power already reaching the very center and highest point of the Cloud Ghost Army, a place even above the Great Judgment of all ghosts and gods, a patch of exceptionally pure and peaceful golden auspicious clouds.

The cloud floated in the air, creating a stark contrast with the eerie atmosphere around it.

Above the auspicious clouds, two divine figures stood on the left and right, protecting a white lotus in the clouds. The person in the lotus sat cross-legged, resting his chin on his hand. He wore a fiery red robe, and his body was surrounded by clear light. His ethereal appearance made him seem even more otherworldly against the backdrop of countless ghosts and soaring evil energy.

"Lingxuzi!"

Whether it was Bai Chou Sang Gu or Luo Man Shi Tong, it was the first time they had seen Ling Xu Zi.

However, in their primordial consciousness, they both felt that this person should be as cold as ice, someone who inspires fear. But now, seeing him, they realized that his casual and leisurely movements revealed an immense madness that made their hearts pound.

In the unintentional eye contact, one could see that there was no murderous intent in that person's eyes, only an aura of authority and indifference that determined life and death, as if this person was already used to it.

On either side of Ling Xuzi, Shenren Tu and Shenren Lei were talking. The two gods were bare-chested, with bushy beards and curved black horns on their heads. Lei was holding the top cover of Mount Letou in his hand.

“It’s rare, it’s rare. Brother Xiaosheng has now obtained a position in the Earthly Court, so he can be considered half a colleague of ours,” said Lei, holding up the mountaintop.

"What do you mean by half a colleague? That sounds too formal. Since we've called you Brother Xiaosheng, we're family. At this rate of promotion, Brother Xiaosheng, once you've perfected the 'True Method of Taiping Jiabu,' you'll become a Third Life Assistant Star of the Longevity Palace, and you'll have a place among the Heavenly Officials."

Tu, holding the reed rope, said with a smile.

The two gods were unaware that the Divine Star Chapter following the Xuanming Star General that Ji Ming had refined was the Obstructing Sun Divine Star, an improvement upon by Qian Zu. This chapter allowed the body and spirit to return to emptiness, thus evolving into a star and directly bypassing the auxiliary star level, transforming into a subordinate star in the celestial constellation. In Taiping Mountain, the last person to refine the Divine Star Chapter was Ancestor Yang, who is currently the auxiliary star of the Difficult Crossing Star Lord and also a celestial official within the Divine Pivot Palace.

If you ask me...

Lei pondered seriously and said, "If you ask me, the Thunder Department is more lucrative and has greater divine power. Among the Five Directions and Five Dipper Departments, only the Exorcism Institute of the Northern Dipper can compare with the Thunder Department. The Southern Dipper governs life, but it is too noble. If you ask me, Brother Xiaosheng should seek a position in the Thunder Department or the Exorcism Institute of the Northern Dipper."

As these two divine beings spoke, their gazes would occasionally and subtly sweep over Ling Xuzi in the middle, their eyes filled with an almost imperceptible caution, as if they were constantly trying to discern the expression on this young saint brother's face.

Ling Xuzi looked interested and said, "My two brothers are getting ahead of themselves. Let's first capture these rebellious demons and monsters before we talk about sharing wealth and prosperity in the future."

Absolutely!
Absolutely!

Tu Da agreed, saying, "For matters like this, we should invite Brother Xiao Sheng to the Immortal Mountain for a private discussion."

Having said that, he cleared his throat, unleashed a thunderous voice that shook the surrounding area, and addressed the demons below, “Hey! Listen up, demons below! We are here by order of the Grand Official Fuming Chentu of Yanshou Palace and the Little Saint Lingxu of Taiping Mountain to sweep away the remaining evils and cleanse the world!”

"You have wreaked havoc in the south, your crimes are heinous! Why don't you surrender immediately?!"

Lei immediately echoed loudly, even bowing slightly in Ling Xuzi's direction: "Indeed, those who know what's good for them should obediently submit to the law, and perhaps the Supreme Being will show mercy and spare a trace of your true spirit for reincarnation. If you dare to resist, I will surely annihilate you, body and soul, and condemn you to eternal damnation!"

Listening to the two gods' words coming out so easily, Ji Ming knew that the two gods must have said these words many times in the past to be able to speak so fluently and with such righteous indignation.

Above the layers of cloud-shrouded cliffs, the Yin army swirled, and ghosts and gods cried out. Adding to this the silent yet even more oppressive Ling Xuzi atop the auspicious clouds, the air within the entire Flag Gate Cave seemed to freeze. The Crying Ancestor was deathly pale, the Horse King Little God was at a loss, the Hundred Ugly Mourning Aunt was on high alert, and even the Little Green Girl, who was sleeping soundly in the coffin, seemed to feel the pressure and struggled to break free.

At this moment, only Luo Man Corpse Child smiled and shouted to the Yin Army ghosts and gods: "Little Saint, I am a descendant of the Qimen Cave of Letou Mountain under Furong Immortal City, not one of these rebels."

“He said he wasn’t a rebel,” Lei said.

"His body is dead and he doesn't look like a decent person. Killing him is the right thing to do," Tu said casually, glancing at him.

“There’s an old zombie ghost coming from the underworld of this mountain. It’s on the same path that we two brothers protect between Yin and Yang.” As Lei spoke, he dropped a peach talisman into the mountain, which directly descended into the earth’s yin energy and the underworld. Immediately, a cry of pain came from there.

"If that Sleepy Tiger were here, it would definitely chew this old zombie up alive."

Tu said.

These words echoed in the Flag Gate Cave, making Luo Man Shi Tong's face turn pale and his chest rise with resentment. However, when his gaze fell upon the two gods and he felt their vast and ancient aura, he felt discouraged and his resentment towards the ancestor grew even stronger.

Upon hearing the cries of pain from the underworld below the mountain, they realized it was their great-grandfather's voice.

Luo Man Shi Tong never expected that the collapse of Qimen Cave would be so imminent. He mustered his courage and rushed straight out of the cave, completely unprepared, and shouted, "Little Saint above, Qimen Cave has no intention of protecting sinners. We are all people of the Immortal City. We beg you to investigate thoroughly."

Amidst the clash of swords and spears, the panting of horses, the scraping of armor, the roars of tigers and leopards, and the flashes of dark thunder, a voice emanated from the auspicious clouds, and all fell silent once more.

"Come to me."
