"Chinese language".

Unconsciously, muttered self-talk escaped from the corner of his mouth.

But this unintentional response seemed to have touched upon a deeper taboo and rule, and the sound that suddenly resounded from inside the coffin became even more turbulent and clear!

"go home,"

"I want to go home,"

"take me Home!"

"........"

The mere sound of the response was enough to break Huang's mental defenses. The deafening, tearing sensation he had felt before returned, and to the senses of the other yokai, they saw their Onmyoji undergoing an almost irreversible collapse!

The immense strain of opening the Gate of Death completely exceeded the sustaining power of the forbidden regeneration technique, causing the body's life force to drain away at an alarming rate!

The gushing blood flowing from his eyes almost completely stained the front of his clothes dark red.

"Onmyoji Master,"

"Master Huang,"

"........"

The manifested demonic mist trembled, and all the descending demons cried out urgently.

Previously, they had faced the Lord of the Underworld with their leader without ever retreating a step, but now they were gripped by immense fear.

At this moment, it felt as if an invisible yet powerful vortex was frantically trying to devour them, the Onmyoji masters, completely!

"tread."

At this moment, Suzuka Gozen, the master of Suzuka Mountain, stepped forward, intending to separate her ally from the strange coffin.

After all, it was easy to tell that all the trouble started the moment when Lord Huang looked into that eerie coffin!

but,

She stopped after taking just one step, as the surge of her aura seemed to have touched the mystery, or rather, the protective mechanism, within the coffin. In an instant, the Onmyoji's body in her vision began to crumble more and more violently under the impact of different energies, as if his entire body was being scorched by extreme heat, with large patches of skin and flesh being burned and bursting open.

"what have you done?"

"what is happening?"

"Your Excellency, Lord of the Underworld,"

"Do not take the will of Suzuka Mountain as mere empty talk!!"

Unable to be forcibly separated, she directly questioned the Lord of the Underworld, who sat atop the ghostly clouds. However, as far as she could see, he was also in a state of astonishment and speechlessness, clearly feeling intensely shocked as well.

Not only that, but Yu Zhi was also surrounded by a powerful ghostly aura. However, this power was not used to persecute, but to protect the thousands of followers behind him!

The ghost soldiers who had gathered under the will of the Lord of the Underworld huddled together as if they had foreseen something extremely terrifying!

This situation rendered Suzuka Gozen's accusations ineffective.

The strange occurrences did not originate from the Lord of the Underworld; in fact, the beings in the Underworld suffered even more terrifying impacts.

"elder sister!"

Holding the Yasakani no Magatama, Ōtakemaru called out to the person in front of him, and from the way he gripped the divine weapon, one could discern a certain clue:

He wanted to use brute force to smash that strange coffin directly!

After all, it's just a piece of wood, and with the toughness of the Yasakani no Magatama, it can even cut through rocks!

"No."

Suzuka Gozen, who immediately saw through her younger brother's thoughts, categorically denied it.

Her mere presence was enough to worsen the Onmyoji's condition; how much worse would a breakthrough in brute force be?

And most importantly, can the Yasakani no Magatama really destroy that coffin?

With a hint of doubt in her mind, Suzuka Gozen's gaze returned to the half-open coffin that seemed to plunge into the deep abyss.

Upon arrival, she was completely captivated by the aura of the Lord of the Underworld, which is why she didn't pay much attention to this object.

Now, when it truly gazes upon it, it feels as if it is approaching an abyss!

That overwhelming obsession,

Let alone the red spider lily, even she held it in awe!

"This hurdle can only be overcome by your own strength and will, Onmyoji."

She added, her voice tinged with an unquenchable palpitation.

"Phoenix pattern".

"Whose coffin is this?"

"Could it be... Lord Phoenix?"

During this time, there were also scattered sounds, including Phoenix Fire, who couldn't help but step out from the chaotic demonic mist. She stared blankly at the patterns on the coffin, her heart filled with genuine reverence and sorrow.

However, she only took one step before abruptly stopping.

Because even a small step closer caused the Onmyoji who had brought her so many secrets and interesting stories to fall into a state of collapse even faster.

As for Ara himself, his mind was already in a state of great turmoil due to the obsession that echoed like a demonic sound, making it impossible and timeless for him to make an effective judgment!

And it's no longer just the eyes,

Blood was gushing from its mouth, nose, and ears.

The breath of life is being rapidly drained away!

Curiosity killed the cat.

The ancients were right!

"Master Huang!"

"Onmyoji!!"

"........"

Sensing the stripping away of life force, a mournful cry began to rise.

Especially those beings with whom she has deep ties or emotional connections, such as Oto, Yuki-onna, Ushi-oni, and Ushi-no-Toki.

Genuine thoughts are being expressed from these people.

The desire not to let that person perish!

Even more reappeared in this desolate world, a white snow lotus.

It is a preserved flower from Mount Shirakawa.

It is said to be able to bring the dead back to life, and it is something that attracts countless people seeking immortality!

As soon as this object appeared, the myriad souls of the underworld began to stir, and they even seemed to be subtly breaking free from the command of the Lord of the Underworld.

But even something as sacred as this was burned to ashes by an invisible wave of heat before Huang could even touch it!

However, it was precisely amidst those sorrowful cries and prayers that...

The golden 'threads' that existed deep within the Desolate Spirit Sea, which could only be barely sensed by Yama's Eyes, began to move!

They gradually detached from the central core and began to actively maintain the host's consciousness, which was on the verge of collapse!

This is the power of faith!!

He had obtained it on Battleship Island before, but he had never felt anything about it until now.

It was this very force that allowed him to regain a glimmer of clarity amidst the overwhelming obsession that raged like a storm!

"I'll take you home."

A powerful will bursts forth.

Although Huang didn't know if such a response would be effective, under such extreme and overwhelming circumstances, this was the only response he could think of.

In an instant, it was like spring warmth and blooming flowers, snow meeting the blazing sun.

The frenzied sense of devastation receded like a tidal wave, and the whole world seemed to return to the primordial chaos, eerily quiet.

"really?"

After a long silence, a timid question finally broke through the quiet 'world'.

She was like a girl in the next class experiencing her first crush, cautiously confirming the response to her declaration of first love.

"Yes, I promise you."

"However, my strength alone may not be enough."

Huang tentatively added,

Although he possessed a special artifact like the Cloud Mirror, he didn't even know the coordinates. It was almost impossible for him to attempt a aimless trial and error across the vast expanse in such a short time!

"Bury the concubine at the boundary between Yin and Yang,"

"Next time you wake up,"

"Whoever obstructs, destroy their divine court!"

However, the woman sleeping in the coffin seemed to have misunderstood, thinking it was the previous divine punishment that had stopped her.

After leaving behind a stern declaration, it fell into eternal silence.

However, she didn't leave nothing behind. A powerful aura surged into Huang's body, repairing his tattered remains. Then, in the guise of a queen, she took over his right heart and forcefully covered up the hunting aura that originally belonged to Ashura!

Huang clearly understood that this was not a contract, but more like a brand, a promise that could never be escaped.

That's really unexpectedly domineering.

Feeling the burning heat in his chest, Huang's lips curled into a helpless smile.

However, he quickly suppressed his feelings, because countless concerned eyes were on him.

"I'm sorry, everyone, for making you worry."

Huang turned his body to the side, trying to force a harmless smile at the corner of his mouth.

But just then, a slight 'snap' sound came from behind, a subtle sound as if a hand had grabbed the edge of the coffin.
