Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 980 Old Black Has Gone Mad
If you try to do too much, you might suffer from indigestion or even get yourself into trouble.

However, having entered the underworld and carrying such a strong "aura of calamity," the development of events will certainly not end as simply as performing the ritual to deliver Chen Sheng.

When calamity strikes, cause and effect become entangled, and often a single event can have far-reaching consequences.

No matter how careful you are, something unexpected can still happen.

Just as Xu Xuan and the others were preparing to leave, a sudden change occurred!
At the edge of the already dark and oppressive sky of the Blood Pool Hell, a thick, inky black shadow was spreading at an incredible speed, as if an endless curtain of darkness was covering everything!
What followed was a violent rumble of the earth beneath our feet.

That was no ordinary tremor; it was as if countless enormous creatures of unimaginable size were migrating and running wildly at the same time, causing the entire thirteen levels of hell to tremble!

The terrifying killing intent, condensed to its extreme and almost tangible, mixed with hatred strong enough to erode the soul, poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, crashing down from the spreading dark sky!
Immediately afterwards, two blood-red eyes, burning with the flames of the deepest hell, seemed to transcend the barriers of space and were projected with unparalleled precision from outside the thirteenth level of hell, locking onto Xu Xuan!

A gigantic face was propped against the outer wall of the Great Hell, so distorted it was almost unbearable to look at.

"It's you! It's you! It's you!!!"

A roar filled with endless resentment and rage, like billions of thunderclaps exploding simultaneously, its sound waves rolling.

It not only resounded throughout the entire thirteenth hell, but also penetrated through layers of barriers, spreading to every corner of the eighteenth level of hell!
At this moment, the underworld trembled!

Countless lurking ghost kings and ferocious beings all turned their gazes toward the Sixth Great Hell, their hearts filled with astonishment and uncertainty:

"What's wrong with the Black Mountain Demon? Why has he suddenly gone mad?"

"The hidden injuries we inflicted on him before finally couldn't be suppressed and have affected his brain?"

"What is that old monster up to now?"

The Five Directions Ghost Emperor's Dojo immediately activated its defenses, fearing that this guy might go berserk.

The Black Mountain Demon's behavior was neither a relapse of his injuries nor simply a display of anger.

Rather than saying it's more like... an ultimate "joy"!
A kind of "ecstatic joy" that arises when enemies meet and their eyes are filled with intense hatred!
Today, it was licking its wounds and recuperating in its lair in the Sixth Prison, while secretly sending its subordinates to search for a stable passage between Yin and Yang, preparing to immediately return to the mortal realm and seek revenge on the bastard who caused it such a great loss!
After all, having returned from studying abroad, I always wanted to fulfill my original aspirations.

Looking back now, that demonic monk wasn't actually that powerful. He simply borrowed the power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and then the power of Ruoxu.

That's why he wasn't killed despite jumping around so wildly in the underworld.

If I could secretly find the opponent's true form and launch a swift and powerful sneak attack, I might be able to avenge my great grudge.

However, the Yin-Yang passage is a strategic resource, and very few people of his size can pass through it, so it naturally requires a lot of effort.

Just now, it keenly sensed an abnormal and violent energy fluctuation coming from the thirteenth hell, and subconsciously extended its divine sense to "take a look".

Hey!
guess what!

No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!
I ran into someone I know!
It's the demonic monk from the Pure Land! He's the culprit who caused it to flee overseas!
With his enemy right in front of him, how could the Black Mountain Demon possibly hold back?
Without a second thought for rest, the massive mountain range, stretching for countless miles, trembled violently and rose directly from the ground.

With the stomping of billions of feet, it forcefully broke through the constraints of the sixth great hell space where it was located, carrying with it a sky full of baleful energy and rage, smashing through the barriers leading to other hells, and rushing wildly towards the thirteenth hell with earth-shaking tremors all the way!

Wherever he went, ghosts wailed and gods howled. The other demon kings of hell all gave way, fearing that they would be affected by this old demon who had clearly fallen into a state of madness.

Xu Xuan felt the hatred that was locked on him, as if it wanted to tear him apart and sleep with him, and the terrifying vibrations coming from afar that were getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but rub his temples speechlessly.

"No way... how do you still remember me..."

On second thought, the other party should indeed remember the things I did.

And for some reason, I have a feeling that everything is finally complete.

I knew it! The difficulty of running dungeons in the underworld couldn't be this low. So that's the pity system you're after, Old Black.

but……

"Brother, I'm leaving now."

Although the scene was impressive, it was still several levels of hell away. Judging by the time it took, by the time the Black Mountain Demon actually got here, he probably wouldn't even be able to return to the mortal world, and he'd probably have finished eating dinner by then.

So, just as Yu Ji and the disciples of Shu Mountain had stepped into the Yin-Yang passage and their figures were gradually blurring, Xu Xuan actually turned around on purpose.

They silently watched the black mountain range that was tearing through the walls of hell and charging towards them from the distant horizon.

He even had a slight smile on his face, as if he were saying goodbye to an old friend.

This is the proper farewell etiquette between good friends. I think the magnanimous Lao Hei can understand it, right?
This is also a warning; he felt that one should always respect the possibility of the unexpected, which was the enlightenment of the White Lotus Saint Father.

This calm gaze was something the Black Mountain Demon could neither understand nor accept!
To be honest, even if Xu Xuan were to kneel on the ground and kowtow a hundred times right now, it would still feel like a provocation.

Just standing there at that moment was more humiliating and infuriating than any vicious curse!
"Roar--!!!"

The enormous face formed by the mountains was completely distorted, and the remaining rationality was completely burned away by endless rage at this moment!

The Three Corpse Gods didn't throb; they exploded!
Boom! ! !
Then, with a deafening roar, the massive mountain range, stretching for countless miles, suddenly rose from the ground!

Countless rocks and soil frantically converged and shaped, instantly transforming into a towering black rock giant with the underworld above its head and a pool of blood beneath its feet!

At this moment, the Black Mountain Demon didn't hesitate to aggravate his old injuries, frantically injecting the ferocious demonic energy he had accumulated over countless years into these holes!

Chi Chi Chi -!
The next moment, dazzling rays of sunlight, radiating extreme heat and destructive power, were forcibly "pulled" out of those holes with a sharp whistling sound!

Each ray of divine light caused the Black Mountain Demon's massive rock face to convulse violently in extreme agony. This supremely yang and powerful force was nothing short of torture for its yin-attribute, rock-spirited demonic body!

But it didn't care! Hatred had overwhelmed everything!
The massive rock arm suddenly stretched backward, forcibly compressing and condensing the hundreds of rays of sunlight drawn from its body into a giant golden-red spear that seemed to be made of liquid sunlight!
Charge up! Done!
"Die!"

With a silent yet soul-shaking roar, the black giant used all its strength to hurl the Sunfire Spear, which was imbued with its endless hatred and pain, toward Xu Xuan's disappearing figure!

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no ripples of overflowing energy.

The moment the golden-red spear left his hand, it seemed to break free from the constraints of space, transforming into a beam of pure light! A beam of light that transcended the limits of perception!

Fast! Incredibly fast! It was as if they had just made their move here and had already arrived there!

This is one of the most terrifying characteristics of the Sunfire Divine Light.

It possesses a trace of the extreme speed unleashed before the sun's demise! Ignoring distance, its accuracy is almost causal!
As the Black Mountain Demon gazed at the golden-red light that tore through the void and instantly traversed the barriers of hell, a ferocious and confident smile appeared on his twisted face.

Even its own immortal body, forged over ten thousand years, was riddled with holes and nearly disintegrated by this thing back then—the mere flesh and blood of a human cultivator…

It will inevitably vaporize completely the moment the divine light touches its body, leaving not even a trace behind!
It seemed as if it could already see Xu Xuan turning to ashes in the extreme light and heat!
When Xu Xuan saw the Black Mountain Demon throwing the divine light of the sun fire, alarm bells went off in his mind!

An unprecedented sense of impending death pierced the depths of my soul, making the hairs on my body stand on end!

Old Black, that's a bit of a foul!

Without a second thought, almost as if struck by inspiration, he uttered a hurried and trusting cry to the only person beside him who could offer him the greatest assistance at this moment:

"Xiao Qing!"

No need for further words, the tacit understanding of fighting side by side and sharing life and death for so long was fully demonstrated at this moment!

"Here it comes!" Xiao Qingqing shouted, unleashing her boundless demonic aura and the divine power of the Jiangnan Water Lord without reservation!
Boom——!
As if a heavenly tribulation had descended, dazzling lightning suddenly exploded around the two of them!

Amidst the dazzling lightning, Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing's figures blurred instantly, then rapidly overlapped and merged as if they were blending together!
A beam of azure-gold light shot into the sky, piercing through the dark heavens of the Blood Pool Hell!

The light dimmed slightly, revealing a strange Dharma body that was about sixteen feet tall.

It possesses both Xu Xuan's dignified and majestic appearance and Xiao Qing's eerie and fierce aura. It is shrouded in the water vapor of Jiangnan and the golden light of Buddhism. Furthermore, the huge phantom of a one-eyed dragon circles around the Dharma body and roars, exuding an ancient and majestic dragon's might!

The Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, in its combined form, Water Lord Xu Qing, has arrived!

Moreover, he is Xu Qing, who has undergone a super evolution and is empowered by the power of the three lakes!
In the blink of an eye that the transformation was completed, the divine light of the sun, which was condensed with the endless hatred and power of the Black Mountain Demon, had already pierced through the spatial barriers of seven great hells, ignoring the distance, and appeared in front of the Yin-Yang passage as if by teleportation!

Its terrifying power remained undiminished, and its blazing light seemed to ignite the entire underworld, determined to pierce and burn Xu Xuan, this "sinner of the underworld," to the very end!
Fortunately!

This terrifying divine power, originating from a fragment of the Great Sun Meteorite, is unparalleled in its power and speed, yet it has a "flaw" that, while perhaps not huge, is crucial at this moment.

Or rather, there exists a certain exclusive force of restraint!
Faced with this unavoidable and deadly attack, the combined form of "Water Lord Xu Qing" did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead made an unexpected move.

He suddenly closed his heterochromatic eyes.

An ancient, timeless power, a law that controls fleeting moments, surged silently.

"When it closes its eyes, darkness descends—"

The Daoist voice of emptiness seemed to come from countless ages ago.

"One breath!"

In an instant, the space-time within a hundred miles of "Water Lord Xu Qing" seemed to be forcibly paused!
The extreme darkness and the extreme light of the fire god's radiance alternated for a moment in a way that defied common sense!
That was not a simple change in light and dark, but involved a subtle distortion of the flow of time and a brief struggle for the right to define it!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! !
In the next instant, time and space returned to normal!
An indescribably massive shockwave spread out in a spherical shape, instantly obliterating everything in that area, including the remaining ghost soldiers, the blood pool waves, and even the space itself!
The forcibly maintained Yin-Yang channel, under this far beyond-limit impact, let out a mournful cry and completely shattered, turning into countless Yin-Yang fragments flying everywhere!

Meanwhile, far beyond the layers of hell, the Black Mountain Demon, who had just unleashed his ultimate attack, was leaning on his knees, his massive mountain giant body panting heavily, exhausting breaths escaping from the cracks in the rocks.

Even with the help of the inherent characteristics of the Sunfire Divine Light, this earth-shattering strike that traversed hell consumed an enormous amount of its own magical power, almost completely depleting its reserves.

It stared intently in the direction of the thirteenth hell, awaiting confirmation that its enemy had been reduced to ashes.

However, the time it takes to drink one cup of tea passed, and then the time it takes to drink two cups of tea passed.
The expected feeling of the enemy's aura completely disappearing did not come. Instead, a sense of emptiness, as if something had been forcibly "erased" from the connection, became increasingly clear.

It suddenly froze, its huge rock head tilting to the side, seemingly bewildered.

"Where...where is my...my Sunfire Divine Light?"

That deadly strike, which had gathered hundreds of divine rays, completely lost all connection! It was as if it had never existed at all!
"The divine light of the sun's fire that I collected in the desolate wilderness of the outer sea, enduring the agony of being pierced by ten thousand suns and having my soul scorched... it's all... all gone?!!"

After a brief silence.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

An anger and heartache, purer and more desperate than before when revenge failed, erupted from the depths of the Black Mountain Demon's soul like a volcano!
That shrill, frenzied roar echoed throughout the underworld once again, even more terrifying than before!

It was utterly tragic! The sheer despair was beyond description, even with ten thousand words of lamentation.

Soon after, a new rumor began to circulate in the underworld:
The Black Mountain Demon, who had dominated the Sixth Great Prison for countless years, went mad due to some unknown blow.
