Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Moreover, Shikigami outside the Shikigami Space are undying.

Even if they are blasted to pieces, they can still reunite in the Shikigami Space.

But it's different within the Shikigami Space.

Slaughter exists at all times.

Advanced Shikigami hunt Low Level Shikigami constantly.

And a Death God killed in the Shikigami Space.

That is truly dead.

Therefore, Shikigami must sign a contract with humans.

To become a Shikigami of a certain Onmyoji.

There's an agreement within the Shikigami Space.

That is, a Shikigami that has signed a contract with an Onmyoji cannot be killed at will.

Because only a Shikigami that has signed a contract with a human can leave the Shikigami Space.

So Shikigami will sign contracts with humans.

Otherwise, why would powerful Shikigami choose to sign a contract with an Onmyoji?

Even the weakest Shikigami possess strength far beyond that of an Onmyoji.

Merely to leave the Shikigami Space for a short time.

Even if it's just for fighting, it's still better than staying forever in this cold, perilous world.

Of course, there are many rules in the Shikigami Space.

But those are made for the weak.

Only the weak need rules.

The strong ignore the rules.

In this Shikigami Space, there are some exceptionally powerful existences.

Their existence has already broken the rules.

No rule can restrain them.

Or rather, the rules are made by them!

Because it is in the Shikigami Space, Shuiyue Jingxiang can always exist.

Su Chen roughly understood the situation here.

In this place, he won't be treated as a human, but rather as a Shikigami.

Moreover, a Shikigami that has not acknowledged a master.

That is, a Shikigami that can be attacked at will.

The reason Shikigami like to attack other Shikigami.

Is because they can devour the other's energy after killing them to strengthen themselves.

Only powerful Shikigami find it easier to survive.

If, one day, they become so powerful that even rules cannot bind them.

Then, they are known as Thrones!

Once they become a Throne.

They become the absolute ruler of this space.

It is said.

Once they become a Throne Level Shikigami.

They are recognized by this space.

They may even wield some special rule power.

Thus, the rules they set.

Are not merely rules in language or text.

But are manifested in this space.

For example, in the territory of a certain Throne.

It is decreed that within the Throne's domain, no flying Shikigami is allowed to fly.

Then, even those with the ability to fly, upon entering its domain of influence.

Cannot fly.

Or, a Throne decrees that a certain type of Shikigami cannot approach the Throne.

Once they do, they'll be obliterated.

Then that type of Shikigami absolutely cannot approach the Throne's domain.

Once they approach, they'll be obliterated.

In this world.

The rules set by the Throne.

Are the rules of this space.

No, they are the rules within the Throne's domain of influence.

And wanting to become a Throne.

Is extremely difficult.

Even the twelve Divine Generals summoned by Shuiyue Zhenqin.

In front of a Throne, are nothing more than rubbish.

The truly powerful Shikigami are all masterless.

Because even without relying on an Onmyoji.

They can temporarily leave this space.

And their might.

Makes other Shikigami dare not attack them.

Of course, there are exceptions where someone might summon a Throne.

In the history of Dongyin.

There were Onmyoji who summoned Thrones for battle.

Their combat strength was truly heaven-defying.

Unfortunately.

About summoning Thrones.

It's all just legends.

No one can confirm it.

Some even say it's purely a figment of imagination.

The proud Thrones.

How could they possibly become someone's Shikigami?

Such a possibility.

Actually exists.

For instance, a powerful Throne.

Arriving in the human world upon leaving the Shikigami Space.

He or she fell in love with a human.

Willingly became their Shikigami.

This aspect.

Has its legends in Dongyin Country as well.

It's said there was once a female Throne (whose form was close to humans) who fell in love with a human Onmyoji.

Willingly became their Shikigami.

Assisting that person to ascend to the Emperor's Throne.

However, that was many, many years ago.

Compared to the lifespan of Death Gods.

Humans age far, far quicker.

That Emperor has long been dead for many years.

And the existence of that female Throne disappeared many years ago.

"Just how big is this place, and how many Shikigami are there?" Su Chen asked aloud.

"I don't know how big it truly is; I can only move within the specified Throne domains. Each Throne has a domain of one million square kilometers, and this space has thirteen known Thrones. These are only the known Thrones; some, after becoming Thrones, are too lazy to set rules or let outsiders know. I estimate there are at least twenty Throne Level entities, and the number of Shikigami might not be less than the human population on Earth," Shuiyue Jingxiang explained.

After listening to Shuiyue Jingxiang's words, Su Chen was utterly astounded.

Throne Level entities.

Must be incredibly powerful.

Su Chen guessed.

The strength of a Throne is likely already Legendary Level.

And this space.

Has no fewer than twenty Thrones.

What shocked him even more.

Is that each Throne's domain covers a million square kilometers.

This is just an average figure.

Some Thrones have much more influence than this.

What's even more terrifying is the number of Shikigami in this Shikigami Space.

Which is about equal to the human population on Earth.

What kind of world is this exactly?

Why are there so many Shikigami?

Why is the space so vast?

These questions.

Are all mysteries to Su Chen.

Of course, to Shuiyue Jingxiang too.

Although Shuiyue Jingxiang's words made Su Chen deeply awed.

It also gave Su Chen hope.

That is, the most powerful Shikigami may leave this space freely.

Meaning he still has hope of returning.

As long as there's hope, it's good.

"By the way, Shuiyue Jingxiang, my friend also entered here, can we find her?" Su Chen asked.

Shuiyue Jingxiang shook her head and said, "Ah, I'm afraid not. She doesn't have the connection that Shikigami have, so it's impossible to sense her existence. Plus, the Shikigami Space is so dangerous. Even if we knew where she was, we might not be able to find her, and even if we did, it's possible..."

Shuiyue Jingxiang didn't say it explicitly.

However, Su Chen understood Shuiyue Jingxiang's implication.

This Shikigami Space.

Has so many Shikigami.

Including many powerful ones.

Although the Flame Empress's power could defeat twelve Divine Generals.

Even so, in this place, the twelve Divine Generals don't even rank.
