Chapter 175

Kyoto

At this time, the most prosperous city, which belongs to humans during the day and belongs to monsters at night, had been completely shrouded in dusk. Even the clouds in the sky were filled with the dim yellow of death. Every part of the city seemed to be on fire.

The aura of evil and the underworld entwined everywhere, as if it were a flame. Most of the humans had already fled when the "underworld aura" appeared.

The monsters who had lost their consciousness to the "underworld breath" and turned into puppets were wandering aimlessly in the streets and alleys. The bodies of these monsters were rotting to varying degrees.

These 'rots' were the characteristics of hell monsters. The monsters whose reincarnation rules did not work were suppressed in hell after death. Their bodies continued to rot, but they could not completely disappear.

In this dead city, a huge 'egg' mixed with the underworld aura and demonic aura was suspended in mid-air. This was the result of "forty or fifty years of resentment combined with the aura of the underworld and demonic aura, using the body of a living female as a medium to give birth to monsters from hell."

"Ahhhhh——"

The sound of mourning echoed in Kyoto.

"Oh... my child, finally, finally, the moment has arrived. There is just a little more time, just a little more!" The voice of Hagoromo Gitsune sounded.

"Go quickly, bring me human hearts and livers, any will do! Bring them all to me!"

"E..."

The monsters that had become puppets of the underworld flew in all directions like flies, rushing towards fleeing humans. Even though humans had fled far in a few days, there was no monster as fast as that.

There were so many people fleeing that they formed a long queue. The human Onmyoji were completely unable to deal with as many yōkai as there were flies.

"Damn it, there are so many monsters, we can't stop them!"

"Damn Abe Seimei! He actually brought the aura of 'Yellow Springs' into the world!"

"It would be great if the head of the family were here! Damn it!"

"The head of the family went to Jilu City a long time ago. The gods must know what is happening now. Everyone, hold on!"

The Onmyoji held talismans in their hands and arranged barriers to protect the humans fleeing Kyoto, but with so many monsters, the barriers had already started to crack. Once the barriers were deployed, they couldn't move and acted only as a turtle shell.

A spectacular scene formed on the commercial road. Barriers large and small connected in a line to protect ordinary people, their faces full of fear and despair.

Although Onmyoji were at a disadvantage in this world, they still had some strength inherited from the gods thousands of years ago. Otherwise, humans would have completely become food for monsters long ago.

Despair hung over all the ordinary people.

"What should we do...?"

"Mom, will we be eaten by monsters?"

"No, child, the gods will definitely come to save us."

"So many monsters! Even if they do..."

"Help, I don't want to be eaten by monsters!"

"Uuuuu... Mom!"

"Lord God! Please save us!"

Crack... crack...

The barrier was constantly cracking under the impact of the countless monsters. Let alone ordinary people, even the Onmyoji's faces were full of fear.

"Damn you monsters!"

"The barrier is about to break!"

"Ahhhh..." Humans inside the barrier screamed in fear and despair.

Crack! Bang!

The barrier shattered instantly, and the puppet monsters rushed toward the humans crazily.

Just as Onmyoji and humans thought they were certain to die, a golden light illuminated the world.

"Wind Scar!"

Under the dazzling light, all the monsters were torn into pieces, their fragments continuously cut until they turned into pure energy and were completely purified.

"Ho ho ho! The opponent of you b*****d monsters is me!"

"I'm going to kill you all!"

"Let them all disappear!"

"Disgusting hell monsters!"

Excited voices resounded in the sky, accompanied by dazzling lights.

Desperate and frightened humans saw dozens of terrifying yōkai appearing in mid-air, constantly attacking the monsters that had been attacking them.

The hordes of terrifying monsters were wiped out in droves.

The Onmyoji were the first to react.

"It's the great yōkai from 'Liyue'!"

"Great! The 'Emperor of the Rock King' has sent an envoy to save us!"

"We are saved!"

'Liyue' was a country where humans and monsters coexisted peacefully. The contract of the 'Emperor of the Rock King' had long spread throughout the world, and no human or monster was unaware of it.

As for why there were so many monsters in Kyoto, they were all evil monsters that had not adhered to the contract, feeding on humans. They had fled from Liyue to Kyoto. This gave Abe Seimei the opportunity to turn them all into puppets.

Abe Seimei was originally an Onmyoji who had come into contact with the realm of the gods. He had been making monsters into shikigami puppets and had become much stronger over the past thousand years. Furthermore, he was still frantically absorbing the "power of the underworld." Apart from not having a throne or authority, he was almost like a god.

The big yōkai who had become "immortals" were constantly cleaning up the puppet monsters when suddenly six sacred lights lit up in the sky.

The sacred multicolored rays of light pushed away the spreading aura of death in the sky, revealing a blue sky, and warm sunlight shone onto the earth through the huge hollow in the sky. It was as if the world of hell had opened the door to heaven, giving endless hope to desperate people.

It was the gods in the sky who had come to save them.

"Look! The gods are here!"

"It's the six newly promoted High Gods!"

"The gods have arrived!"

"God bless you..."

"God bless my child..."

Whether Onmyoji or humans, people grabbed onto hope and couldn't help but pray.

In such a disaster, even the Onmyoji could only pray to the gods, let alone ordinary humans.

True Lord Liuyun Borrowing Wind frowned as she looked in the direction of Kyoto.

"Is this the 'power of the underworld' instigated by the violator...? It is indeed powerful. Our divine power and authority can only disperse it, not purify it."

A pot appeared in the hand of the God Lord of Gechenlang City. "My authority, 'Hutian,' can contain those underworld auras, but I can't hold on for long. We must deal with the source quickly."

Lord Shayue Zhuyang snorted coldly. "The violator is still in the underworld. We have to wait for him to emerge before we can deal with him."

Lord Lishui Dieshan said, "Then let's first deal with those great god-level monsters that have been turned into puppets by the power of the underworld."

Buzz buzz boom boom——

As soon as the voices of the gods fell, eight god-level underworld auras appeared in Kyoto. It was clear that Abe Seimei, who was emerging from the underworld, had controlled them to intercept the gods and delay them.

Xiao said coldly, "So, you actually dare to attack us."
