Chapter 768: Punching Down A Ghost And God

The man’s eyes were tightly shut. His hair hung loosely across his shoulders. There were several scars on his face, and speaking of face, he looked somewhat similar to the spiritual intent of Li Hentian, though his lines were sharper, older, and unrelenting. He looked… real.

“The Dark Overlord…”

He wasn’t exactly the same as the spiritual intent, but Ye Qing still recognized him instantly as the one and only legend, the Dark Overlord Li Hentian. In his memories, Li Hentian had passed away on this very peak, which was why he was confused that Li Hentian’s body was nowhere to be found. To think that the legend had been right beside him this whole time, and he didn’t even realize until he revealed himself!

Li Hentian was definitely dead. Ye Qing could not sense even a hint of vitality from his body. Even so, he was equally certain that the sigh had come from the dead man.

As expected, Li Hentian opened his eyes the next second and looked at Murong Xianxian affectionately. “Long time no see, Xiexian!”

Murong Xianxian was currently wearing a complicated expression on her face. She did not say anything.

“Li Hentian…”

By now, Zongtian finally noticed Li Hentian. Both faces were looking down on him as the black qi surrounding their giant hand grew thicker. They pushed again.

Rumble rumble rumble…

The entire mountain began shaking ominously. Even the Central Wu Earth Hall had become much dimmer than before. Despite this, Li Hentian’s finger did not budge an inch. It hadn’t even curled or wobbled a little.

“You’re noisy.”

Li Hentian abruptly looked up, and his eyes shone like the rising sun and falling moon both at once. A dazzling light pierced the sky at the same time a loud thump rippled across the entire world.

It was the sound of Li Hentian’s heartbeat.

Thump… thump… thump thump…

At first, his heartbeat was very, very slow. Over time, it grew faster and louder until it felt like a celestial was beating a heavenly drum.

The next moment, Li Hentian retracted his finger, made a fist, and punched.

There was barely any space between his fist and the hand, but so what? Wind and thunder could exist within a span of inches. A single inch was enough for someone to blast the gates of heaven wide open.

BOOM!!!

The giant hand exploded, and Zongtian staggered backward with shock and fury in their eyes. “The audacity!”

“The audacity?”

Li Hentian withdrew his fist while showering the faltering Ghost and God with unbridled scorn. “Nah, you are more audacious than me. After all, you dared to try and take my woman! Even I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing!”

“It is her honor to be able to become my consort!” Zongtian argued.

“Honor? Do you actually think you’re a god just because some people call you that?” Li Hentian scoffed. “Who doesn’t know that you’re really a sexless pig who doesn’t have a dick or an ovary despite sporting two faces of different genders? As if that isn’t enough, you desire women and keep marrying consorts like it’s a game or something. Can you even fuck when you have nothing down there?”

“You dare insult me? I will throw you into the Eighteen Hells and subject you to an eternity of suffering! You will never escape!”

Enraged, Zongtian summoned a banner into their hand. The banner rapidly grew bigger until it was the size of the Ghost and God themselves. Then, they grabbed the banner with both hands and swung it down on Li Hentian like saber.

BOOM!

As the banner fell, yin wind rolled in like a winterstorm and morphed into countless yin soldiers and ghost generals. Their mere presence ripped holes in both the sky and the earth.

In response, Li Hentian sneered and leaped into the air. Then, he formed a fist with his right hand and punched upward.

A mountain a hundred thousand meters tall shot out of the ground in tandem with his punch, and the endless swarm of yin soldiers and ghost generals were crushed just like that. The storm of yin qi was unable to descend onto the earth like waves that were split and blocked by the shore.

Next, Li Hentian opened his right hand and curled his fingers. As the sea of yin qi condensed and slipped into the banner, Li Hentian placed his hand on its gigantic pole at that exact moment.

The banner was so big it felt like the sky itself, and the pole the pillar that supported it. Li Hentian was less than ant compared to it. However, it began shaking and emitting thunderclaps as Li Hentian landed his fingers on the pole one by one like he was stroking a qin.

Zongtian’s hands abruptly exploded into pieces as if they could not bear the pressure. Their banner immediately flew out of their hands as a matter of course, and Li Hentian seized the opportunity to run upward.

Zongtian wasn’t done though. The ten broken fingers transformed into the tell halls of Fengdu, and each hall was manned by a King Yan.

Looking down on Li Hentian, the ten King Yan raised the King Yan Seal in their left hand and the Judge’s Brush on their right hand and declared in unison, “Your sin is great, Li Hentian. You shall suffer in the Eighteen Hells for eternity.”

The seal descended, the brush descended, and their voices filled the air. One by one, the Hell of Tongue Ripping, the Hell of Scissors, the Hell of Trees of Knives, the Hell of Mirrors of Retribution, the Hell of Steaming, the Hell of Copper Pillars, the Hell of the Mountain of Knives, the Hell of the Mountain of Ice, the Hell of Oil Cauldrons, the Hell of the Pit of Cattle, the Hell of Boulder Crushing, the Hell of Mortars and Pestles, the Hell of the Pool of Blood, the Hell of the Wrongful Dead, the Hell of Dismemberment, the Hell of the Mountain of Fire, the Hell of Mills and the Hell of Sawing[1] came to life and overlapped one another. Inside the hells, countless ghosts screamed in pain as punishment beyond mortal imagination were inflicted upon their person.

“Hahaha… Who the fuck do you think you are to judge me?”

In response, Li Hentian simply laughed and clenched his right fist again. He raised his stance about half an inch, pulled back his fist, and punched.

Crack!

With just one punch, Li Hentian pierced through the eighteen Hells like they were paper; shattered the tell halls of King Yan like they were clay.

“Break”

Compared to the “Break” his spiritual intent had unleashed earlier, this one was less destructive and majestic, and more withdrawn and sharp. However, it was undoubtedly more profound and terrifying.

Smooth water flows without a sound, and a Great Way possesses no shape. When a warrior’s fist had reached the pinnacle, their punches would leave no trace in the world but affect everything.

The punch was still going despite piercing the Eighteen Hells and shattering the ten halls of King Yan. Li Hentian appeared in front of the Ghost and God’s face and struck him squarely in the forehead.

Again, it looked like a laughable ant was trying to topple the giant tree. Again, Li Hentian did the seemingly impossible and sent the mountain-sized Ghost and God flying a thousand kilometers through the air, crushing countless mountains in the process.

“Raaaaaghhhh!”

After Zongtian finally arrested themselves, they shook off their dizziness and let out a throaty roar. Then, they grabbed two random mountains and tossed them at Li Hentian.

Li Hentian withdrew his fist and turned sideways. He slammed into the two mountains like he was slamming the gates of heavens wide open.

The two mountains shattered like glass, failing to slow Li Hentian even a little. He flew straight toward Zongtian’s chest.

Zongtian’s chest abruptly split open in different directions like a giant maw. Instead of innards, an ungodly number of worms lurked within his body. They had a human’s head but a worm’s body, and their mouths were full of razor sharp teeth. They looked terrifying.

The worms swarmed Li Hentian instantly. At the same time, the Ghost and God’s split chest slammed shut.

Zongtian looked up and let out a victorious roar after devouring Li Hentian. They looked extremely proud of themselves.

It didn’t last. The next second, a hint of pain and anger flashed through their features. At the same time, sounds of explosions came from inside their stomach.

Boom!

There was a deafening boom, and the Ghost and God’s body exploded in a shower of blood and gore. Yin qi filled the world, and countless ghosts screamed.

“Hahaha… Six Ghosts and Gods my ass! You are pathetic!”

Li Hentian stood at the center of the cloud of yin qi, laughing uproariously. But of course, the battle wasn’t over yet. Zongtian was the master of the Grand Fiend Abode of Forgiveness. They could not possibly perish so easily.

A pair of faces appeared in the cloud of yin qi. One of them was male, and the other female. The man’s face looked solemn and dignified like a god, while the woman’s face looked ugly and savage like a ghost’s.

They were the faces of the master of the Tianzong Palace, though they were many, many times larger than what they were before. The man’s face shifted to the sky where he looked down on the earth like an unfeeling, omnipotent god. The woman’s face shifted to the ground where she eyed the world with naked greed. Both faces were overflowing with power.

Celestial and demon, ghost and god. The gazes and the clash between two completely different powers distorted the surrounding space. Countless ripples and lines joined together to form the terrifying illusion of a shattered world where the living was dead, the bodies stretched endlessly, the sea was blood, and the dead were everywhere.

Then, the man’s face descended, and the woman’s face ascended. The two terrifying powers engulfed Li Hentian instantly.
