Chapter 444: The Three Great Kings of the Six Desire Corpse Gods Merge as One, Today the Pacifying King Slays the Heart Demon

Rumble—

Within Ink City, a terrifying surge of power was unleashed, and an overwhelming death aura swirled like a raging tide!

Swish, swish, swish, swish—

As the city crumbled, the sky above was filled with countless falling ink-black raindrops, each one roaring and pounding with increasing intensity.

Within these drops, there was energy to repair the broken city and extinguish the boiling death energy!

Smoke and dust raged!

A terrifying roar echoed, like a demon emerging from the depths of the netherworld, twisted and ugly, filled with slaughter and destruction. This terrifying sight made it seem as if the entire Ink City had been engulfed in a storm of annihilation.

Rumble, rumble!

The scorching heat continued to boil, and the thick, churning ink rain evaporated, transforming into a dense mist that lingered. In an instant, it was blasted apart by a thunderous surge of blood energy.

A colossal furnace hung over Ink City, like a blazing sun, radiating intense heat.

The light and heat were relentless.

Powerful ripples of blood energy spread and dispersed, as if carrying ink-black clouds that lingered.

The air roared and poured in, and in an instant, the ink-black clouds lifted the figure of the King of the Netherworld.

Zhao Beidou stood nearby, surrounded by White Nether Fire, his white hair and youthful face showing a complex expression.

On the other side, an enormous dragon god transformed into the Sea-Flipping Nine Heads, its massive body with nine heads wildly swinging, and flesh wings spread wide, as if cutting through space itself.

The three figures hovered in the air.

The leading figure, the King of the Netherworld, stood with his arms crossed, his body seemingly imbued with boundless explosive power.

A black and white mask covered his face, and after ascending the tower, his long hair, which reached down to his knees, billowed like a cape.

Li Che's gaze held a complex look.

There was even a hint of daze in his eyes.

After all, Ji Maoli had indeed brought immense pressure to him and his family, like a towering mountain.

This pressure was something Li Che had only felt during his time in Thunder City, when his family faced the threat of the Spirit Infant Sect.

When Xi Xi was born, they directly confronted the haunting Spirit Infant Sect in Thunder City. At that time, Li Che had just begun his martial arts journey, and his divine nature had not yet been touched. One could say that every step he took was like walking on thin ice.

Therefore, Li Che had become accustomed to walking on thin ice, always taking the most cautious path.

Consequently, when faced with the formidable enemy Ji Maoli, Li Che chose the most conservative approach.

He didn't hold any belief in bidding farewell to his past self or engaging in a one-on-one battle between kings.

Because there was no need for it.

Ji Maoli had only just entered the Divine Tribulation, and he had used the blood sacrifice of countless cities to create the Blood Pool, draining the blood souls within. This was how he had forcibly broken through to the Divine Tribulation realm.

If it weren't for the opening of Qitian City, Ji Maoli might not have made such a bold decision.

However, Li Che looked down upon Ji Maoli's breakthrough.

He couldn't even compare to Lu Taibai, who had chosen to take a risk due to his sect's crisis, enduring a life-and-death struggle during his closed-door cultivation. Only then did he break through to the Divine Tribulation realm.

But Ji Maoli...

He chose to break through by devouring the blood souls.

One reason was for protection, and the other was through slaughter...

"Trash."

Trash not even worthy of being bound by the Bind Deity.

Li Che inhaled and exhaled, releasing an incredibly powerful gust of air.

Finally, he spoke two words.

Then, Li Che's gaze turned towards the swirling vortex of death, where the roaring Corpse Gods were climbing out. The death aura soared, the corpse aura churned, and the dense Six Desires divine nature surged like a tide, raging between the walls of Ink City, intensifying the storm!

"So, is this why you, Ji Maoli, dare to challenge the Netherworld?"

...

...

Ji Maoli's body stiffened, and a dagger pierced his heart.

It was too fast, too silent!

Just like Zhao Beidou, or perhaps it was the combined might of the Netherworld Evils within Ink City, that made him feel a headache.

This silent, space-bending movement technique was beyond Ji Maoli's imagination and ability to counter.

Those who swell with pride often face a blow that brings them down to earth.

In reality, Ji Maoli had never been one to swell with pride. But to seize the opportunity presented by the opening of Qitian City, he chose to break through the Divine Tribulation.

And the method he chose was to devour the blood souls in the Blood Pool, consuming and merging all the blood souls accumulated from the countless cities he had slaughtered over the years.

He gave up the ability to create clones, forcing himself into the Divine Tribulation.

But this breakthrough came with a massive side effect: a change in his emotions. After all, the blood souls were the gathering of countless spirits.

Ji Maoli lost his composure, becoming irritable and arrogant.

Now, with a dagger piercing his heart, a numbing sensation instantly enveloped his entire body...

The dagger was poisoned!

How filthy!

Even in the Divine Tribulation realm, how could someone still use poison? His heart contracted violently, and under the perception of the Heaven and Earth Dao Soul, it seemed as if his blood had turned pitch-black...

One after another, venomous dragons erupted from his body, coiling around him as if to bind him tightly.

Pfft—

Ji Maoli coughed, spitting out blood, as the dagger was pulled from his heart. Blood splattered, and the poison spread rapidly throughout his body.

His once-proud flesh and blood couldn't suppress the poison, which raged through his meridians, muscles, and blood.

In just a few breaths, his skin turned completely dark green.

Ji Maoli staggered back, taking several steps, and covered his mouth, which continued to spew black blood. He turned and looked at the silent figure behind him, the culprit who had stabbed him.

The culprit was a thin man.

Ji Maoli didn't recognize him.

But the divine nature emanating from the man had reached the First and Second Tribulation realm! Another First and Second Tribulation realm God Realm expert!

"Who... who are you?"

Blood flowed from Ji Maoli's mouth and nose, and his vitality was being rapidly devoured by the Nine Turns Ascending Dragon Pillar.

He didn't even have the strength to move.

"I am Gu Yin Xuan, from the Netherworld."

Gu Yin Xuan's eyelids lifted slightly.

A faint voice echoed from his mouth.

Gu Yin Xuan...

Ji Maoli felt a sense of deja vu. Gu Yin Xuan was the founder of the Tiandan Divine Sect, the Poison Saint who had toppled countless Dan Sects, leaving only the Tiandan Divine Sect standing in the world of poison.

Was the Poison Saint in league with the Netherworld?

"It's over."

"Ji Maoli."

A hoarse voice echoed through Ink City.

The voice that spoke belonged to the King of the Netherworld.

Six Corpse Gods slowly crawled out from the vortex of death aura, unleashing their terrifying aura into the world.

The six desires of their divine nature intertwined, wreaking havoc on people's consciousness and emotions.

Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and desire—the six divine natures!

They swept through like an unstoppable storm!

The forms of the six Corpse Gods were bizarrely distorted, hideous beyond measure, as if they were a combination of various chaotic thoughts.

Ji Maoli's deep laughter echoed, "Is it over?"

"Do you really think I, Ji Maoli, would lose like this?"

Ji Maoli's entire body was tainted by toxins, almost turning him into a black jade color.

He now resembled the cursed corpses to some extent.

Boom!

Ji Maoli roared towards the sky!

"In the Netherworld's territory, if I didn't have some backbone, how dare I come here?"

"If the Netherworld wants to kill me, I also want to destroy the Netherworld!"

"My countless schemes and calculations have all been ruined by the Netherworld!"

"Between you and me, there is an unclean blood feud!"

Ji Maoli's eyes turned crimson and frenzied.

He spread his arms, and his entire body began to distort and swell, the toxins within him expanding faster due to the accelerated circulation of his blood.

Ji Maoli's flesh seemed to be melting away.

The six Corpse Gods that emerged from the vortex also roared as they rushed towards Ji Maoli with insane speed!

Whoosh!

A black silk as dark as ink shot out from Ji Maoli's flesh, wrapping around the six Corpse Gods with incredible speed and pulling them away!

They crashed into Ji Maoli, who seemed to have reached his limit, his body swaying precariously.

Boom, boom, boom!

A series of explosions reverberated as the Corpse Gods slammed into Ji Maoli's body, one after another, entering his flesh.

The black silk emitted divine fluctuations, binding Ji Maoli's body like a bandage.

The six Corpse Gods struggled to escape from Ji Maoli's body, but they were all suppressed by him.

Ji Maoli's black hair danced wildly, and his pupils changed, as if there were spinning jade beads in his eyes.

A pool of blood swirled and flowed from his body.

Within the blood pool, countless souls seemed to be howling, crying, and struggling...

The six Corpse Gods also fell into the blood pool, transforming into massive creatures, stirring within.

The toxins within Ji Maoli seemed to be suppressed.

"Netherworld!"

"This is my trump card!"

"My true trump card!"

Ji Maoli let out a long howl, and from his voice, six different tones and human-like voices burst forth.

Layer upon layer, like demons and spirits!

The extreme strangeness was terrifying, disturbing the soul.

At this moment!

Ji Maoli devoured all six Corpse Gods!

Facing the Netherworld, Ji Maoli had always been cautious, having suffered too many setbacks before them.

So this time, he went all out.

He chose to merge with the Corpse Gods, and with his current divine tribulation power, he could bear the integration of the six desire Corpse Gods into his body...

This technique was well-known to Wei Yuan, the traitorous disciple of Lu Taibai, who also cultivated this art.

However, Ji Maoli's demonstration of this technique was even more powerful than Wei Yuan's!

Even though this incident would expose his conspiracy with the Corpse God Sect, Ji Maoli no longer cared!

Ji Maoli felt his life being pulled back from the brink of death.

His spirits soared, as if a flame was burning within him.

He spread his palms, and divine weapons appeared one after another.

"This is not enough!"

"Netherworld... I truly value you!"

Ji Maoli roared.

The divine weapons emitted divine light, a total of three—the umbrella spear, the green blade, and the purple gold sable!

However, the earth fire water wind white jade pipa was missing.

Ji Maoli knew that the earth fire water wind white jade pipa had fallen into Li Che's hands, but knowing was useless; to retrieve it, he would have to kill Li Che.

But Li Che, as one of the Netherworld's most dangerous beings, was not an easy target.

Nevertheless...

It was enough.

The three great kings, combined with the six Corpse Gods...

This power should be sufficient!

Divine intentions emerged one after another, shaking the void, and the Temple God's Will manifested!

Three Temple Gods appeared, their eyes filled with rage, their divine might shaking the heavens and earth.

One king had a blue face, another a red face, and the third a green face!

The three-faced kings also merged into the blood pool.

Ji Maoli's aura rose steadily.

He felt an unprecedented surge of power, his consciousness expanding infinitely at this moment.

He wanted the opportunities in Heaven City.

And he wanted to destroy the Netherworld!

The black silk bound Ji Maoli like a giant cocoon.

The blood pool swirled behind the cocoon.

...

...

"Is that... the Indestructible Hell Lotus Heaven Thread?"

Beneath the black and white divided mask of the King of Hell, Li Che's eyes glimmered.

Ji Maoli had devoured the six Corpse Gods, as well as the immense Temple God's Will nurtured by his descendants in the three divine weapons.

Logically, a mortal body should not be able to bear this, and it would explode.

But unexpectedly, Ji Maoli summoned the Indestructible Hell Lotus Heaven Thread...

Li Che suddenly wondered if Ji Maoli's sending of Ji Haixiu to the Golden Light Mansion was also for this purpose?

To devour and merge with the Temple God's power, allowing his body to transcend the mortal realm?

"Father, that's the Heaven Thread!"

Xi Xi's eyes shone brightly as she stood on the city tower, receiving the best protection.

Li Che, wearing the horse face mask, stood by her side, father and daughter holding hands atop the city wall.

"Yes, it's the Indestructible Hell Lotus Heaven Thread, something that belongs to you."

"Father will retrieve it for you today."

Li Che smiled and rubbed Xi Xi's head.

The Indestructible Hell Lotus Heaven Thread and the Profound Thunder Vajra Heaven Wheel were very important to Xi Xi.

Not only because they were part of the Third Prince's set, but also because these two divine weapons, if in Xi Xi's hands, could help her mortal body work with the power dormant within her, strengthening her through mutual interaction.

Strong enough to support the power of the Hell Lotus Curse.

Originally, Li Che planned to retrieve the Heaven Thread after his trip to Heaven City, heading to the Corpse God Sect's headquarters.

Now, it seems that it is no longer necessary.

Ji Maoli had colluded with the Corpse God Sect, and he even obtained the Heaven Thread, which he had attempted to refine through some evil means.

The Heaven Thread exuded a violent aura, and it was evident that Ji Maoli had used nefarious methods to refine it.

Boom!

Terrifying energy erupted, and the six desire corpse gods' divine nature merged into one, followed by an immense Buddhist radiance and the pulsating aura of the temple god.

The Heaven Thread suddenly shattered, transforming into a divine black dragon dancing wildly between heaven and earth!

The entire Ink City seemed to freeze in place!

Countless ink-colored raindrops falling from the sky were instantly frozen.

In the blink of an eye!

Boom!

Like a tsunami, the ripples of energy surged, forming folds and spreading through the void, expanding in all directions.

Beneath the Heaven Thread, Ji Maoli's body was majestic and robust, as if reborn, and his entire being had transformed.

Four heads were embedded on his neck, each facing a different direction.

In the 1619th chapter, there was not a single error in the version!

The remaining three faces displayed green, red, and blue hues, representing the Three Great Kings, while Ji Maoli's robust body revealed six eyes, each possessing the power to disturb one's soul.

His black skin resembled black jade, adorned with corpse god patterns, and within his double pupils, a jade pendant rotated, encircling the pupils, exuding an eerie aura.

Ji Maoli's four heads and four faces expressed various emotions.

His aura soared, and at this moment, he achieved an unprecedented breakthrough and transcendence.

Ascending, he broke through the barriers of the first calamity and first tribulation realm, reaching the first calamity and second tribulation realm, and even the peak of the first calamity and second tribulation realm!

In terms of strength, he was only a hair's breadth away from the first calamity and third tribulation realm.

The fusion of the six desire divine nature and the will of the Three Great Kings resulted in an unparalleled power within Ji Maoli.

Ji Maoli's black hair danced wildly, and he lifted his head, his eyes filled with determination.

After so many years of plotting and planning, today...

He finally achieved a leap in cultivation.

Moreover, this was just the beginning. Once he became familiar with the power of his current physical body, his combat strength would even surpass the first calamity and third tribulation realm!

When his cultivation truly reached the first calamity and third tribulation realm, Ji Maoli would have the confidence to turn the entire Da Jing into his domain!

Who said he couldn't shake the world?

The Grand Supervisor? The National Master Xie Yunshen?

They were not capable enough!

Only he, Ji Maoli, could control his own destiny!

Countless images flashed through Ji Maoli's eyes, scenes from his childhood. Snowflakes drifted between heaven and earth, and he was but a beggar, naked and starving, fighting with stray dogs for scraps, barely surviving in this world.

He had sworn to shake the world, to become its emperor, and to eradicate poverty and hunger!

Having experienced such hardships, he was determined to fulfill his ambition.

He joined the military, acquired skills, and began to grow stronger, climbing the ranks within the army.

But it was too difficult. Despite his exceptional talent, he couldn't rise higher due to the many generals' children and relatives who held privileged positions.

Even with his superior talent, he was suppressed, unable to find an opportunity to rise.

He led the troops in battle, fought valiantly, but the military merits were always snatched away by the second-generation heirs.

Ji Maoli was furious, but one day, a monk from the Western Buddhist Kingdom sought him out. Ji Maoli accepted the monk's resources and became even more powerful...

He nurtured many bandits and killed countless others.

Unknowingly, he rose to great heights, even becoming the pinnacle of martial arts in Da Jing, the Pacifying King personally appointed by the emperor, and the feared figure across the land, Ji Maoli.

And now, the Corpse God Sect...

Was also nurtured by that monk from the Western Buddhist Kingdom.

The blood soul extraction technique was also taught by that monk, who instructed him to slaughter numerous cities and use others' lives to enhance his strength.

Ji Maoli often feared that monk because only he understood Ji Maoli's vulnerabilities.

But now, Ji Maoli felt an unprecedented transformation.

He experienced what the monk had spoken of, using others' lives to elevate his cultivation.

All fears dissipated.

He had achieved an unparalleled metamorphosis, and Ji Maoli was confident that his future would be at the pinnacle of Da Jing!

He would establish a new dynasty! He, Ji Maoli, would create a new era!

Da Jing had decayed, and he, Ji Maoli, had no need for it!

Boom!

His ambition knew no bounds, but he couldn't control his consciousness at this moment.

His eyes were cold, scanning the distant Netherworld's malevolent beings.

A sinister smile curved his lips, and from his flesh, six crimson eyes burst open, emitting a brilliant glow.

His black skin shone like black jade!

"Die!"

Bang!

In an instant, Ji Maoli appeared before Ancient Yin Xuan, thrusting a poisoned dagger at him.

Facing the malefactor who had almost killed him, Ji Maoli unleashed a punch, and the air exploded, creating a massive void filled with countless intricate cracks and dense fissures raging like a storm!

Terrifying energy burst forth!

The heavens and earth were suddenly engulfed in a terrifying storm!

The blood pool churned endlessly!

Ancient Yin Xuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't resist the punch from the transformed Ji Maoli.

Instead, he spread his arms and closed his eyes.

"Come, kill me."

Boom!

Ji Maoli showed no mercy to Ancient Yin Xuan.

The overwhelming power of tribulation erupted from Ji Maoli, merging the temple god and corpse god's energy within his body.

In an instant, it was unleashed!

Ancient Yin Xuan's body was instantly shattered into countless pieces!

Countless waves of toxic mist surged, enveloping Ji Maoli's body!

"Gurgle!"

A terrifying cry echoed through the heavens and earth, like a toad in a summer pond.

The ancient bell tolled, its deafening ring enough to shatter the eardrums of any mortal who dared to listen. Countless toxic mists swirled and intertwined, forming a colossal toad. In an instant, the mists descended, transforming into a golden hue and weaving together to create a golden three-legged toad.

With a thunderous crash, it plummeted towards Ji Maoli, its weight akin to millions of pounds. Ji Maoli felt his flesh and blood grow heavy, the toxins eroding his body.

This was the power of the first and second tribulations of the Heaven Poison Spirit Pill. Gu Yin Xuan, having become a divine mechanism, had refined the pill within his own body, using himself as the crucible.

Of course, it was also because, after becoming a divine mechanism, Gu Yin Xuan had completely let go of his inhibitions.

Having refined the Heaven Poison Spirit Pill within himself, when struck by Ji Maoli, he transformed into a being of toxins.

"This poison..." Ji Maoli's eyes narrowed, and with his power of the first and second tribulations, he was suppressed by this bizarre toxin.

However, with a thought, he summoned the strength of one of the Three Great Kings from the Temple of the Divine, suppressing the power of the Three-Legged Golden Toad within his body.

It didn't stop him from moving, though.

"Ji Maoli, is this your last resort?" Li Che's tone carried a hint of disappointment.

"I gave you a chance, and this is your backup plan? I let you peacefully complete the fusion of the Corpse God and Temple God... Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

A faint voice echoed through the Ink City. It was the King of Hell.

Ji Maoli turned towards the Horse Face standing beside Xi Xi and then looked at the King of Hell. Suddenly, he realized something was amiss.

The words of the King of Hell...

Ji Maoli sensed something was wrong.

He looked at the Temple God standing beside Xi Xi and then glanced at the King of Hell.

"So... that's how it is..."

"So... you're all just one person?"

As his words fell, Ji Maoli moved.

He took a step, and the ground of Ink City shattered into pieces, disintegrating.

But Ji Maoli had already transformed into a cannonball, smashing through the Ink Rain and appearing before the King of Hell.

The killing intent poured down like a torrent, a terrifying force that slammed down.

Yet, the King of Hell merely watched calmly as Ji Maoli unleashed his final move.

With a thought, divine tribulation auras burst forth one after another.

The Netherworld's powerhouses emerged, their auras intertwining and erupting in continuous roars.

Then, these divine tribulation auras exploded one by one.

The Netherworld's citizens!

United as one, all the citizens, including the Sea-Flipping Nine Infants, though part of the Ink Ten Evils, contributed their strength to the King of Hell.

Bang, bang, bang—

As if their strength had been drained, the citizens exploded one by one...

Their power, like the endless waters of the Heavenly River, converged upon the King of Hell.

In that moment, the King of Hell's aura took a leap.

Through the Sea-Flipping Nine Infants and Gu Yin Xuan, the power of the first and second tribulations, was unleashed upon him.

Combined with the strength of Zhao Beidou, Gu Changqing, and other divine tribulation cultivators, the King of Hell's body was distorted and enlarged by an ambiguous force.

The King of Hell's body seemed to be twisted and enlarged by an ambiguous force, his blood boiled, and the eight extraordinary meridians exploded!

The Martial Deity Golden Body roared.

Bearing the side effects of the eight extraordinary meridians, Ji Maoli and the King of Hell, with overwhelming auras, faced off.

Ji Maoli, having devoured the Corpse God and Temple God, and the King of Hell... borrowed the strength of the entire city!

In that moment, their surging battle intent, like a tangible flame, twisted space.

It was as if fate had decreed this collision.

Only one of them could survive.

"Die---!!!"

Ji Maoli's body twisted and roared with rage.

However.

The next moment, Ji Maoli saw the King of Hell's eyes glowing with golden smoke.

The powerful Heaven and Earth Soul fluctuation spread...

"Ji Maoli... I said that anyone who borrows the power of the Temple God in front of me... is trash!"

"Summon Deity!"

A cold voice emerged from the King of Hell's mouth.

Ji Maoli's six-holed pupils spun rapidly!

The three heads not belonging to him twisted and turned rapidly, and the six Corpse God eyes on his body spun wildly, as if going berserk!

Within him, the power of the Three-Legged Golden Toad could no longer be suppressed.

It exploded within his body.

Ji Maoli's blood boiled with rage, his killing intent solidified in that moment.

His three heads of the Three Great Kings thumped, and because of the excessive spinning, they fell from his neck. He slowly lifted his own head, his expression filled with despair and anger, eventually becoming silent.

He saw the King of Hell, whose aura was as terrifying as a deity.

His blood boiled, and the mountains and seas were silent!

He took a step, and the heavens and earth collapsed!

Purple flames twisted and burned, the Dao Tribulation Flame, the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame!

The Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame and the Golden Deer Sealing Seal!

In that moment, the two seemed to merge, a Dao Tribulation power combined with the Immortal Seed, unleashing an unprecedented force!

A fist and seal crossed the sky!

It was as if the Golden Deer was galloping and stamping!

But Li Che's killing intent didn't stop there!

Under his fist and seal, the killing intent was sharp!

Whoosh!

A green windstorm rose, tearing through space, tearing through everything, tearing through the five senses and six desires!

Li Che clenched his five fingers, and the second tribulation power, in that moment, exploded without burden!

The Wind Tribulation, Primordial Void Slash!

The Thousand Mountains Lone Traveler Void-Slashing Sword!

And as these two moves were unleashed...

Li Che's face, half of it covered by the Netherworld King's mask, seemed to bear an unbearable burden, and the mask shattered without thought.

Revealing a face...

Ji Maoli's pupils constricted, his expression changing, filled with anger, and finally, a silent face.

This was the last scene Ji Maoli saw in the world.

Like an endless darkness covering the sky, it was torn apart by a single move, illuminating countless rays of light!

Yesterday, the Thunder Mud-Legged.

Today, the Heart Demon Slayer Pacifying King!
