Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 433 A gash was cut into the sky.

Finished!

Unlike Liu Jiayi and the viewers in the live stream who were frightened, Chi Hongqiao and everyone else who knew the effects of the black river water turned pale.

Given the corrosive nature of that river water, if it were to crash down, it would completely corrode wherever it hits.

This is only the city center. If that pool of water were to disperse further, how much of the entire Akihabara City would be left?
The other side is trying to wipe out the entire Akiha City!
Akiha City, is that all?
Chi Hongqiao had no idea what would happen to them in this dead river.

At this moment, Feng Jin and others, far away at headquarters, were also watching the scene of that collapse through video.

"The underworld! Where are the people of the underworld?!"

Chu Xiu braced his hands on the table, his eyes wide with anger.

We agreed to resolve the six rivers before they converged, so why is it like this now?

Could it be that the deal the underworld made with them before was a complete lie?

No wonder the underworld didn't want any reward; they never intended to help in the first place!
Just as Chu Xiu was contemplating whether to have someone secretly kill the underworld's messengers in the mortal realm, a change occurred in the video footage.

"That is……"

Fan Yaohui pointed to the figure that suddenly appeared below the water clump in the video and zoomed in.

In the image, a figure wearing a mesh screen appears in mid-air.

Beneath his feet stood... a flying sword!?

Flying swords!
That's a flying sword!

In the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no fewer than ten Taoist temples similar to the Temple of Seeking Immortality.

These Taoist priests each have their own lineage. The Zhenlong Gong of Zhenlong Temple can condense the wrathful Vajra. Although the Taoist priests' techniques are different, they all lead to the same goal: condensing sword energy.

But sword energy is ultimately just sword energy; the power of blood and qi cannot be condensed into a real sword.

Therefore, no matter how high these Taoist priests' skills are, they cannot fly on swords.

But now, this seemingly ordinary person is standing on a sword.

Who is he?
Are there sword immortals in the underworld?
Just as Fan Yaohui and the others were in shock, the man moved.

Everyone thought that the flying sword beneath that person's feet would shoot out and annihilate the black water that filled the sky with a single strike.

But they were all wrong.

The man took out a pair of scissors, white scissors.

He simply made a light snip with the scissors against the black mass of water above his head.

Even though they were separated by a screen, and the camera was hundreds of meters away, everyone in the conference room heard a voice through the speakers.

"Crack!"

The sound itself wasn't anything special, but when paired with the visuals in the video, no one would say it was simple.

At this moment, a crack appeared between the figure and the huge mass of water.

A crack over a hundred meters long!

It's like... it's like... the sky has been cut open!
The despairing black water was completely absorbed by the crack without any resistance when it encountered it!

After the black water disappeared, the crack seemed to have completed its mission and began to shrink.

In just two or three seconds, the hundreds-of-meters-long crack disappeared again.

Above Akiha City, only that figure standing alone on the sword remained, soaring through the air.

Everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath.

They didn't know why they were holding their breath, but they all did it involuntarily!

Until the figure in the sky turned its head to look down and disappeared.

"call!"

Only after that figure left did everyone dare to exhale the breath that had been trapped in their chests.

The person left, but left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone who witnessed it.

……

General Office.

Feng Jin remained silent, Chu Xiu remained silent, Fan Yaohui remained silent, and all the high-ranking officials of the Bureau of Investigation remained silent.

After a long silence, he finally spoke again: "So, is he a sword immortal or a scissor immortal?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent once again.

Neither the Sword Immortal nor the Scissor Immortal seem to be within the reach of the Bureau of Investigation.

"Director, do you think if we trade something with the Underworld, could we obtain the Sword Immortal's inheritance?"

"If I can't be a sword immortal, I'll be a scissor immortal too."

"I think the underworld must have a lot of heritage. We can trade our things for those of the underworld!"

"Exchange? Do you think the Underworld, having acquired that kind of legacy, would even bother with what we have?"

"How would we know if we didn't exchange them? Maybe the underworld just likes collecting them?"

As the conference room grew increasingly noisy, Feng Jin's dazed eyes regained focus.

With just one glance at the crowd, an invisible wave silenced everyone.

After a long silence, Feng Jin asked, "If the Underworld becomes our enemy, can you think of a way to deal with that attack just now?"

No one responded.

Thinking about that massive crack that stretched over a thousand meters just now, what if the other side did the same thing at the Bureau of Investigation headquarters?

Who can withstand it?

Who dares to resist?
Seeing that no one answered the question, Feng Jin got up and left the office.

The crisis in Akiha City was resolved, but an even greater crisis emerged.

What should I do?
How should we deal with the underworld?

……

Akiha City.

After the crisis was averted, Chi Hongqiao stood on the roof of the shopping mall, lost in thought.

Until the old Taoist priest from the Qiuxian Temple arrived with his apprentice.

"Director Chi."

Chi Hongqiao turned around and looked at the old Taoist priest.

"Master Li, thank you for your help. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Shouyi looked at Chi Hongqiao, cupped his hands and said, "That sword immortal, could the Bureau of Investigation introduce me to him?"

Chi Hongqiao was taken aback. Looking at the burning gazes of Li Shouyi and his apprentice, he understood.

He nodded and said, "That person should be an expert brought in by the General Administration. I will ask the General Administration, but I can't guarantee the outcome. After all, even the General Administration might not be able to say much to someone like that."

"can."

After bowing once more, Li Shouyi left with his apprentice.

Watching the two Taoist priests' backs, Chi Hongqiao looked up again at the scene of the sky splitting open just now.

Even though it was happening right before his eyes, he still felt like he was in a dream.

"Was that person also from the underworld?"

Chi Hongqiao felt both reverence and fear towards the underworld.

Such power, yet it's merely a partner of the Bureau of Polling?
Can the Bureau of Polling afford such a partner?

Suppressing these chaotic thoughts, Chi Hongqiao turned around and prepared to return to the Bureau of Investigation.

Just then, he saw Liu Jiayi, who was slumped on the ground in a daze, and he also saw his live streaming equipment.

Frowning, Chi Hongqiao gave Lin Yibo a wink, signaling him to take Liu Jiayi away. But Lin Yibo was still reeling from the previous scene and didn't understand Chi Hongqiao's signal. He ignored Chi Hongqiao and went downstairs.

With a sigh, as Chi Hongqiao passed by Liu Jiayi, the power of his blood and qi spread out from his hand and shot into the live broadcast equipment.

Pfft!

The explosion of the mobile phone and other devices finally brought Liu Jiayi to her senses.

He screamed and tried to save his phone, but it was too late.

Chi Hongqiao watched this scene, but she was not happy.

If it were a live broadcast, things would probably be in complete chaos outside.

Chi Hongqiao was right.

At the moment the sky seemed to fall, Liu Jiayi's live stream audience had already surpassed 20. Of these, only half were locals from Qiuye City, while the other half were people who entered the live stream through shared links.

After the 'Sword Immortal' appeared and a crack appeared in the sky, Liu Jiayi's live stream viewership soared to over 30 and continues to rise.

If Chi Hongqiao hadn't destroyed the live streaming equipment at the end, Liu Jiayi would have broken a record.

That's what happened: live-streaming the weather, and it surpassed one million viewers!
Although those who came later didn't witness that earth-shattering scene, they still learned bits and pieces from the comments section.

After the live stream ended, this group of people started searching for various things on the platform.

Sure enough, the scene of the sky splitting open soon appeared on the platform, and the number of likes on the video began to surge.

Many people who stumbled upon the video thought it was a special effect from a movie or TV show.

After the comments section explained it, they...became even less convinced.

Despite their disbelief, the video was taken down just two minutes after it appeared.

At the same time, a large number of similar videos were also taken down.

Only those clever enough to download the video will be able to continue watching that scene.

However, after that, even if they wanted to upload, they couldn't.

And so, the story of the appearance of a deity in Akihachi City spread quickly, but because there were no pictures or videos, very few people believed it.

After all, every now and then, people on short video platforms add various special effects to the dark clouds during thunderstorms, saying things like someone is undergoing a tribulation or a flying dragon is in the sky.

After seeing so many of these claims, they naturally lose much credibility.

What's more, there's no video yet!
Meanwhile, what was Chen Xin doing, the one who orchestrated all this?
He is filling the Styx River with water into the Pot Heaven space!

……

The matter in the mortal world was over, but the rift that Chen Xin created turned a dark and chaotic area upside down.

The Yin-Yang region corresponding to Akiha City is not the same Yin-Yang region that 'Styx' was in before its advancement, but rather corresponds to another Crimson region.

When Chen Xin cut open the Yin-Yang Crack with his scissors, he actually imagined the ghostly creature in the blood-red area inside, only to be immediately drenched by the waters of the River Styx.

Immediately, the group of ghosts who rushed out were swept away by the waters of the River Styx.

As for the rest, they also suffered after the waters of the River Styx flowed in!
After the waters of the River Styx returned to the Underworld, they regained their ability to float.

Logically speaking, if the ghosts and spirits in the underworld don't actively cause trouble for the River Styx, then having another River Styx floating in the air in the underworld wouldn't be a big deal.

But the key point is that there is the Black Abyss in this blood-red area!

The Black Abyss felt offended and tried to dry up the River Styx, but a wave from the River Styx swept it into the river.

Although the Black Abyss still lives in the river, it cannot break through the River Styx to escape.

When Chen Xin entered, he saw a blood-red area without the Black Abyss.

As for why Chen Xin used the Pot Heaven Space to store the river water, it was simply because he wanted to test how effective the Pot Heaven Space was on the River Styx.

As a result, the Styx River water could not break the spatial barrier of the Pot Heaven after entering the Pot Heaven space!

It's like ordinary river water being put into a bottle.

This is a good thing for Chen Xin.

If you do encounter the River Styx in the Netherworld later, the Pot Heaven Space can also be used as a defensive measure, but you will need to expand the Pot Heaven Space again.

To Chen Xin's disappointment, despite risking his hands to be corroded by touching the Styx River with his fingernails, the "Complete Collection of Tranquilizing Objects" did not appear.

This means that although the River Styx originated from the God of the Chaos and has the power and effects of the God of the Chaos, it is not the true God of the Chaos.

This is likely related to the fact that the will of the Styx River still exists in the netherworld.

"Therefore, to suppress the River Styx into a seal, we must find its true form in the Netherworld!"

Chen Xin pondered.

This matter has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage naturally lies in the power of the River Styx. If he could transform the River Styx into a seal, Chen Xin felt he could roam freely in the Netherworld.

The waters of the Styx enveloped him, and when he encountered the God of Chaos, he was trapped by the Styx. Then, he went up and used the "Complete Book of Suppressing Objects" to suppress him.

In this way, the speed at which you can acquire Zhenyin will increase dramatically.

With the increase of the number of Zhenyin, he will naturally be able to navigate the Netherworld with greater ease!

When the time comes, could we go to the seventh floor and deeper to see if there are any other things there?

As for the drawback, the River Styx in the netherworld has its own consciousness and will naturally not allow Chen Xin to get close so easily.

If he were to be accidentally struck by the waves of the River Styx, Chen Xin would be severely injured, if not killed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xin decided it was worth a try.

He now has five seals. Apart from the Tongyou Seal for escaping, and the Hutian Seal and Fengjie Seal for support, the other two, the Copper Pillar Seal and the Scissors Seal, are all decent offensive methods.

The copper pillar seal can even be used as a defensive measure. You can surround yourself with the copper pillar and then hide inside to attack with the scissor seal!
However, the copper pillar seal is not a true defensive measure, so Chen Xin only has one attack window of scissors at most.

If the attack fails, we have to leave!

After thinking it over, Chen Xin glanced at the River Styx in front of him, which had returned to its river-like shape.

After watching it crash into the 'wall' and change course, and seeing that it flowed above this dark and gloomy area without causing any more serious damage, it finally left.

Upon arriving at the Copper Pillar Prison again, Chen Xin pulled out the high-ranking guide.

The Mirror of Inquiry stood before the Guide.

"Recall what the dark region where the River Styx was located looked like."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, the guide looked blankly into the mirror, and as his memories flowed, some images appeared on the mirror.

Chen Xin waited quietly until the images stabilized before he looked over.

Based on those images, Chen Xin threw the newly resurrected phantom body over.

The deployment was successful, but as soon as the illusion appeared, Chen Xin summoned it back.

If it had been any later, the illusory body would have fallen from the sky into the River Styx, costing another 20,000 units of Yin virtue!
What is the situation in that dark and shadowy area at this time?

It's like a pool, with the four 'walls' forming the pool walls.

As for where the things originally in this Yin-Yang region went?

Without even asking, it's clear that they were all submerged at the bottom by the Styx River and have likely been completely corroded.

To his surprise, the area completely covered by the River Styx did not merge.

"So, those ghosts and spirits swallowed by the River Styx weren't actually dead?"

Chen Xin made a note of this.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xin's true form went to that dark and mysterious region.

As soon as he stepped outside, he stepped onto the calamus sword.

After looking around, Chen Xin flew towards a 'wall' on his sword.

A pair of scissors appeared in his hand, and he slashed at the 'wall'!
Not long after the crack appeared, a rushing sound of water rang out, and the waters of the River Styx flowed out of the wall, as if someone had installed a faucet on the 'wall'!
Seeing this, Chen Xin entered the Netherworld and, following the Styx River water flowing from the 'walls,' headed upstream towards the source of the sixth level of the Netherworld!
