Stranger Danger

“You will regret—argh!” King Taishan howled and struggled with all his might, but he was swiftly engulfed by all sorts of Magia and secret arts and dissolved into ash.

The next moment, the Clear Sky Mirror, Earthly Sovereign Bell, and Xuanyuan Sword appeared at the same time. The Clear Sky Mirror cast down endless rays of golden light across every inch of the domain, the Xuanyuan Sword swept the whole area with infinite purple qi, and the Earthly Sovereign Bell chimed and vibrated slightly.

All three sacred artifacts of the Human Way had unleashed their power to sweep through every inch of the domain.

“Argh!” A few breaths later, King Taishan’s scream suddenly erupted from nothingness. “I am a natural deity! You cannot kill me! I will be back[1]!”

“Argh...” When the last wisp of his divine thought was annihilated, a dramatic change abruptly overtook the entire Fengdu.

Lightning flashed in the eternally dark skies of Fengdu. Yin thunder rumbled, and a bloody rain poured.

The earth shook and cracked here and there. The yin wind howled like weeping or confessing a terrible sin.

The Yellow Spring surged mightily, and its waters flowed in reverse. The red spider lilies on both sides of the river wilted completely.

Countless ghosts and souls in the eighteen hells wept in sorrow.

Even the bright and clear sky of the human world had temporarily become darkened and gloomy.

.....

When a celestial or a god died, heaven and earth mourned their passing.
