Chapter 573 Heaven-Defying Inscription
The Chief Yama looked at the three ancient ice coffins lined up in a row and said nothing. He just looked at Yunxi, wondering what the little girl was going to do.

Yunxi first returned her soul to her body, appearing before the three in human form, and then calmly said:

"Hanlian, Yunchen, Xunkun, return to your physical bodies. I will draw an array on your bodies to reclaim your soul power."

Han Lian was no longer as relaxed as before, and pursed her lips as she said:
"Ranxi, are you confident?"

Yunxi simply said in a normal tone:
"Even if I don't have it, I should still have it. Don't waste time, otherwise my consumption will be even greater."

Yun Chen chanted a Buddhist prayer, took off the Vajra Bodhi bracelet from his wrist and put it on Yun Xi's wrist, then flashed into his own body.

Han Lian pulled out the ice lotus from between her brows and pushed it into Yun Xi's body, saying:

“Our spiritual roots are the same. If your power is insufficient, you can draw power from the Ice Lotus.”

After saying that, he returned to his physical body.

Xun Kun frowned. He cultivated the demonic path, which was incompatible with Ran Xi's power, but he still removed the hollow mask from his face and pushed it in front of her:

"Wearing my mask will help you stabilize your soul. As long as I live, I will definitely be able to find you."

Before Yunxi could speak, he flashed into his own body.

With just a slight movement of her fingers, Yunxi's black, openwork mask completely covered the upper half of her face.

Then she said to the Chief Yama beside her:
"My lord, I shall begin."

The Chief Yama simply nodded, his dark eyes fixed on Yun Xi.

Yunxi felt she was fully armed, so she closed her eyes and mentally retraced the inscription she was about to create. Then she suddenly opened her eyes, and her entire aura changed.

Yunxi used her spiritual power to cut her finger, drawing out three drops of essence blood, and then used her own soul power as a guide to begin inscribing the runes.

This inscription is one of the last five inscriptions in the animal skin booklet. It means "defying the heavens." It was carved by the witch clan with supreme witch power, an inscription that reverses the will of the heavens. It sounds extraordinary, and even if it succeeds, it will come at a great price.

But at this critical moment of life and death, Yunxi had no other choice but to take a gamble. She was a descendant of the ancient witch clan. Although she did not cultivate witch power, she had the power of her bloodline and a body full of pure spiritual power. She should be able to barely draw this inscription.

Therefore, she used her blood essence to inscribe the inscriptions, and soul power was her original power. The combination of the two might have a "heaven-defying" effect. She even injected the power of merit into the inscriptions. She did not believe that the triple superposition could not reverse the boundary-breaking formation and take back the soul power of Han Lian and the other two.

As Yunxi began to inscribe the runes, the First Lord of the Underworld's face also became very serious, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Yunxi felt like she was a dam bursting, with her essence, soul power, spiritual power, and merits rapidly draining away, leaving her feeling completely empty.

However, the inscription was not yet formed, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere. As the inscription slowly appeared in front of the ghost messengers, her face grew paler and paler. The Bodhi bracelet on her wrist shimmered with golden light, injecting a gentle power into her body. The ice lotus also appeared and disappeared, and the ice spiritual power of the same origin as Yunxi slowly flowed into her meridians. The black hollow mask firmly stabilized Yunxi's soul.

A deafening roar echoed across the black sky of the Ghost Realm. Thick black clouds gathered above the entrance to the Eighteenth Level of Hell, flashing a purplish-red light within the heavy clouds, seemingly about to crash down on the heads of the ghost messengers. The ghost messengers trembled with fear, instinctively moving closer to Lord Yama. Lord Yama, the chief of the main hall, looked up at the sky, a red light flashing in his eyes, then spoke in a deep voice to Yun Xi:
"Little girl, hurry up, you've been locked on."

Yunxi knew she was being targeted. She was struggling to finish the last stroke, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. She gritted her teeth, slapped her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood into the air, which then flowed into the inscription.

As blood was injected, the golden-red light on the inscriptions intensified. Yunxi, disregarding the blood on her lips, flicked her sleeve and sent the three inscriptions into the bodies of the three people inside the ice coffin, before collapsing to the ground herself.

The moment the inscription entered her body, a bolt of purplish-red lightning struck down, heading straight for Yunxi's head, but was blocked by the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella.

After absorbing the three lightning strikes, the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella returned to Yunxi's dantian. The next instant, without Yunxi's command, the Seven Star Deadly Staff automatically flew out of the dantian and took the initiative to meet the second purplish-red lightning strike.

Yunxi ignored all of that and focused only on the three people's ice coffins and the Boundary Breaking Array. The next moment, the Boundary Breaking Array began to flicker and then started to operate in reverse. The soul power that had been drawn away returned to Hanlian and the other two, and the three of them were recovering their soul power at an increasingly faster speed.

The First King Yama nodded, raised his hand to extract the soul power that did not belong to the three of them, and sealed it. Since they were causing trouble on his territory, he had no reason not to retaliate.

The Boundary-Breaking Array stopped operating after five breaths, then collapsed and completely lost its effectiveness.

Nine bolts of purplish-red lightning continued to fall from above Yunxi's head. The Seven Star Deadly Staff and the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella absorbed most of the lightning strikes, but when the last two bolts fell, both magical treasures returned to her dantian. She could only sit cross-legged on the ground, preparing to take the hits with her bare body.

Just then, with a "crack," the three ice coffins opened simultaneously. Han Lian, Yun Chen, and Xun Kun flashed out of the ice coffins and rushed straight to Yun Xi. At the same time, they formed an array to help her withstand the last two purplish-red lightning strikes.

The three of them were also knocked off their feet and staggered around. It took them a long time to get up from the ground. They looked extremely disheveled.

Hanlian supported herself in the tunnel:

"Ranxi, why didn't you dodge when lightning struck?"

Yunxi was holding a spirit stone in her hand and had a fairy herb pressed against her chest, replenishing her energy. She opened her eyes and said:
"You think I don't want to? I really don't have the strength to move."

She considered retreating back to her spatial dimension, but she dared not act recklessly in front of the powerful figures of the Ghost Realm. She could explain that their physical bodies were stored in their portable medicine gardens when she moved the ice coffins out, but if she disappeared into thin air, there would be no explanation.

Moreover, she was prepared for her cultivation level to drop. At worst, she could return to the Weiyu Realm and start over. In any case, Hanlian and the other two would drag her back to the Weiyu Realm no matter what.

At this moment, the Chief Yama had already repaired the barrier of the eighteen levels of hell. Looking at the four people covered in dust and dirt, he said:

"You are truly fearless and naive. That is a soul thunder unique to the ghost realm, which only targets the soul. It is a form of punishment thunder. One strike can shatter your souls and obliterate you. It is only because you have accumulated enough merit that I would have to collect your corpses."

The four of them also felt pain emanating from their souls. The wisp of purplish-red lightning was wrapped around their souls, constantly releasing lightning attacks, making them want to scream in pain, and their vision would go black in waves.

"Consider yourselves lucky. Since you destroyed the Boundary-Breaking Array this time, I will help you out."

After finishing his speech, Yama, the King of Hell, waved his sleeve and swept the four people away.

See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
