I manage female characters in all the heavens.

She took out the Gauss sniper rifle, held it in one hand, raised it, aimed, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A dazzling ray pierced through the Dharma Image's brow in an instant, traveling hundreds of meters at dozens of times the speed of sound, striking the Black Mountain Demon like a ray of light from the brow, instantly piercing through him from front to back!

A round hole, half a meter in diameter and running through the front and back, appeared on the black mountain covered with runes. The next moment, a large amount of black blood gushed out from the hole.

It's called a gun, but looking at the wound, it's more like a cannon.

Blood rained down on the entire battlefield, and endless yin energy emanated from it. Any demons or ghosts that came into contact with the blood were instantly dissolved and their souls scattered!

"Ah! What kind of power is this?!"

For the first time since the start of the war, the Black Mountain Demon cried out in pain, a feeling of disbelief rising in his heart.

Ten thousand years, a full ten thousand years, he has not been harmed for ten thousand years.

Neither the once-powerful Thunder Lord of the Xuantian Sect, nor the Blood Demon of the Netherworld who tried to seize power from him, nor Cheng Zhengchu, the founder of the Haoran Academy who emerged eight hundred years ago, ever truly harmed him. They all became his subordinates and their souls, becoming resounding names on his list of illustrious figures.

But today, he was truly injured. His proud and powerful defense failed to provide any effective resistance to the opponent's attack, and he was pierced through in an instant!

Such overwhelming force and such utterly irresistible terror reminded him of the days when gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas still existed, and how insignificant he felt in the face of them!

The Black Mountain Demon immediately panicked. Could it be that this Netherworld Demon is the reincarnation of a god or Buddha? Otherwise, how could it possess such power?

Moreover, the other party also possesses a mysteriously vast faith whose origins cannot be traced.

Perhaps the other party is a great god whose name has been revered throughout the world, who has been reincarnated and naturally inherited his own faith from history!

The Black Mountain Demon gritted his teeth, the mountain trembled, and he roared angrily: "No matter who you are, this is no longer your era!"

"The only god in this world is me!"

"Death!"

The Black Mountain Demon was enraged, unleashing endless Yin energy that roared forth, shrouding the heavens and earth in darkness. A colossal claw emerged from the mountain, pressing down with boundless gloom.

The entire valley where the Heavenly Demon Palace was located was shrouded in the giant claw. Before the giant claw even landed, its invisible majesty had already immobilized the entire world, and no one could escape!

The hundred-meter-tall golden Bodhisattva statue raised its head, and a slender yet incomparably powerful ray shot out from between its eyebrows once again.

In theory, once this Gauss sniper rifle fires a pre-charged shot, it cannot fire a second shot for a short period of time.

However, Nie Xiaoqian overcame this difficulty with magic, shortening the charging time of the Gauss sniper rifle to within five seconds, allowing her to fire again in a short time.

This time, the ray did not shoot out straight, but swept vertically.

The rays were dazzling, leaving a shimmering thin line across the sky and earth, as if dividing the world in two.

The colossal claw was easily sliced ​​in two and vanished with a single sweep, even cutting the Black Mountain Demon's true form vertically in half!

"I refuse to accept this!" The Black Mountain Demon roared in its final fury, and then it exploded!

A demonic overlord, a ruler for millennia, has fallen!

The Bodhisattva's image is depicted with lowered eyes and hands clasped together, golden eyes filled with compassion and mercy.

A series of sacred yet eerie chants resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and golden Buddhist light rose like the sun, dispelling the deepest darkness.

But none of the demons and monsters who witnessed this scene felt enveloped in mercy; instead, they were almost completely frozen and chilled to the bone.

The golden light was dazzling, and the Buddha's light was vast, but no one could see the light. The demonic energy, which was much stronger than before, spread throughout this world, completely blocking everyone's vision from the spiritual level.

All they could see was a black sun rising suddenly and taking over everything.

Chapter 236 The Path to Godhood

The moment the Black Mountain Demon was killed, an extremely strong tremor erupted in the underworld.

The tremor did not originate from the earth, but from the very core of the entire underworld.

In that boundless darkness, a pair of eyes as majestic as mountains suddenly opened, their pupils burning with boundless fury.

The Supreme Lord of the Underworld, the Prison Lord.

He dwells in the deepest part of this underworld, his body fused with the entire netherworld, making it impossible to distinguish where his body is or where the boundary of this world lies.

At this moment, his power erupted without reservation, causing the entire underworld to tremble.

Countless ghosts lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to even think, for fear of being caught in the wrath and having their souls scattered.

"...He's dead?"

His voice was deep and resonant, like thunder, echoing throughout the underworld.

The Black Mountain Demon is an avatar that he separated from. Although it only has one percent of his power, it is enough to make him roam freely in the human world and has never been defeated in ten thousand years.

Even if you put all the nooks and crannies in both the Yin and Yang realms together, you still wouldn't find many beings who could even slightly touch this incarnation.

But today, his avatar was killed.

Moreover, it was an instant kill with absolutely no resistance!

Even though there was a barrier between the realms of Yin and Yang, he could clearly sense what happened in that instant.

That terrifying ray, that power that was completely beyond his comprehension...

What on earth is that?!

He doesn't understand.

Completely incomprehensible.

He considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, having some understanding of the supernatural powers of immortals and Buddhas in ancient times, as well as the methods of gods and demons in earlier eras.

But that ray of light just now—

That's not magic power, not true energy, not demonic power, not ghostly energy, not the power of heaven and earth, not divine power, immortal power, Buddhist power... it's none of those things.

It was a power he had never seen or heard of before!

The appearance of that power even made him feel insignificant, just like when he was just an ordinary black stone, looking up at those gods and Buddhas who could fly and disappear into the earth.

"No...we absolutely cannot let her live!"

The Supreme Lord of the Underworld roared, and the entire underworld trembled in his rage.

Although he couldn't understand what kind of power it was, he knew very well—

If that Netherworld Demon is allowed to continue growing, she will threaten his position sooner or later, and may even take away everything he has planned for tens of thousands of years!

She must be killed!

Now! Immediately!

A giant claw emerged from the darkness.

That claw was enormous, blotting out the sky and the sun. Just by moving, it caused countless cracks to appear in the entire underworld.

With a single claw, he tore apart the barrier between the realms of Yin and Yang, and slammed it fiercely towards the mortal world!

In order to seize the position of a god in the underworld, he captured fragments of the underworld, reshaped this realm, and merged with it, thus embarking on the path of faith and godhood.

In return, he was bound by faith, his physical body firmly confined to the underworld, unable to go to the mortal realm.

Extending one hand was already the limit of what he could do, but he was confident that this claw would be enough to kill "Nie Xiaoqian," even though she possessed that unknown and terrifying power.

That power, though terrifying, was far too insignificant. Killing his avatar was already the limit; to pose a threat to his true body, the difference in size was too great to ignore.

The giant claw pierced through the rift between Yin and Yang and appeared in the sky above the Yang realm.

The entire sky instantly turned pitch black, and the Buddha's light dimmed in an instant!

The giant claw covered such a vast area that it enveloped the entire ruins of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and even the distant mountains and rivers were in its shadow.

Before the claws even landed, the terrifying pressure had already caused the heavens and earth to change color and the wind and clouds to surge!

On the ground, the demons and ghost soldiers who were stunned were all forced to lie flat on the ground by that oppressive force, unable to even lift their heads.

Nie Xiaoqian, who had just killed the Black Mountain Demon, was now standing on the shattered remains of the Black Mountain Demon, looking up at the giant claw that blotted out the sky.

"Hmm? There are more experts?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised but not too alarmed.

That shot just now gave her immense confidence.

The power of the Gauss sniper rifle far exceeded her expectations.

Even the Black Mountain Demon's tortoise-shell-like defense could be sliced ​​open from head to toe. What in this world could she not break through?

At worst, we can just recharge it again and fire another shot.

However, just as she was about to raise her hand and raise her gun—

The giant claw suddenly stopped.

It stopped in mid-air, as if blocked by something.

The Yinming Supreme Saint Prison Lord was stunned.

He could feel an invisible force blocking his giant claws and the Netherworld Demon, like an indestructible barrier that firmly blocked his attack.

He was very familiar with that power—

The power of faith.

Moreover, it is an extremely vast and extremely pure power of faith!

The source of that power of faith is none other than "Nie Xiaoqian" below!

"impossible!"

For the first time, a hint of panic appeared in the voice of the Yinming Supreme Saint Prison Lord.

He frantically urged his giant claws, trying to break through the barrier of faith.

But no matter how hard he tried, the barrier remained unmoved, as if it were formed by the will of the entire world and was unshakeable.

At that moment, the power of faith suddenly surged!

Like a flood bursting its banks, it gushed forth from "Nie Xiaoqian" and spread outwards in all directions from her center!

Golden light emanated from her body, enveloping her in a sacred glow.

On the battlefield, the demons who were still alive knelt down the moment they felt that light, and worshipped it from the bottom of their hearts.

It's not because of fear.
