Chapter 451: The Judgment of Justice, Expulsion from Manhood!
Purple Fate Ancestor was filled with worry, deeply disappointed in that person from Black Demon Abyss.
"Damn it, if I ever ask him for help again, I’m worse than a pig or a dog!"
He was seething with anger, even cursing, utterly disregarding the dignity expected of a Grand Supreme Truth cultivator.
For the sake of Black Sword's ascension and the greater plan, he had swallowed his pride for many years. Despite his past conflicts with his master, he had repeatedly exhausted his own essence energy for the good of Black Demon Abyss.
One could say that he had done more than enough.
But now, his master’s indifference left him feeling bitter and powerless.
"Those blessed with great fortune won’t fall so easily. Besides, his talent far surpasses Ghost Heaven’s expectations, and with the protective treasure I gave him, he’ll definitely be fine!"
Purple Fate Ancestor reassured himself.
...
Elsewhere, in the strange land, the winds howled, and malevolent spirits filled the air, stretching across the void.
A massive Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner hung in the sky, its blood-red flag emitting a chilling, murderous aura as countless ghostly souls wailed.
The entire landscape resembled a living hell, ravaged and desolate.
Pale, giant hands descended from the sky, visible throughout the shattered realm.
A terrifying voice echoed through the air.
"Blood Robe, there’s no use hiding. I can see you."
Great Bliss Celestial appeared, smiling as if he were a compassionate Buddha.
Upon entering the strange land, his power had dropped to the peak of the Mythical level.
Such were the rules of this strange land.
Outside of it, he might have been able to refine the land with his overwhelming power. But once inside, he was no longer in control, reduced to the level of Mythical beings.
These were the rules of heaven and earth.
Only those who had comprehended Supreme Truths could resist such forces.
At this moment, Qi Yuan, draped in his blood-red robe, stood on the ground, his expression calm as he stared at the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner with a look of delight.
"Isn’t this my dream treasure, the Human Emperor Banner?"
Qi Yuan’s reaction didn’t surprise Great Bliss Celestial.
Prodigies like Blood Robe naturally carried protective charms.
For someone like Great Bliss, even though he was a Yang God, inside this strange land, he wasn’t necessarily a match for a prodigy like Blood Robe.
"You may be calm now, but soon enough... you won’t be smiling anymore," Great Bliss Celestial said as he gripped the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, his voice carrying a chilling, sinister tone.
"What gives you the right to assume how I feel? Whether I smile or not is none of your business," Qi Yuan retorted.
Great Bliss Celestial’s smile only deepened.
The more Blood Robe laughed now, the more despair he would feel later.
"Blood Robe, you didn’t expect... me, did you?"
Suddenly, a vast, terrifying presence appeared behind Great Bliss Celestial.
A familiar face emerged.
It was none other than God Blood Celestial.
He looked at Qi Yuan, his gaze filled with murderous intent.
"Ah? God Blood?" Qi Yuan was a bit surprised at the sight.
God Blood Celestial seemed pleased by Qi Yuan’s reaction.
But then Qi Yuan spoke again.
"Hey, didn’t you already admit it was Demon Eye Celestial who killed your granddaughter? I don’t even know Demon Eye Celestial. Her death had nothing to do with me. So why are you coming after me?" Qi Yuan protested, his voice full of indignation.
In situations like this, assassinations were typically swift and without much talk.
But at their level, these exchanges took place within the span of a single breath.
While they spoke, Great Bliss and God Blood Celestial were also sealing off the area, ensuring Qi Yuan couldn’t escape and cutting off any interference from other Yang Gods.
God Blood Celestial’s fury only intensified at Qi Yuan’s words. He gritted his teeth and growled,
"Back in the Supreme Truth Heaven, when you humiliated me, did you not foresee the consequences?"
The events of the Supreme Truth Heaven were etched deeply in God Blood Celestial’s memory.
His granddaughter had been killed, and Blood Robe had shamelessly lied, claiming he didn’t know Demon Eye Celestial, the killer.
Anyone with half a brain knew that Blood Robe was acquainted with Demon Eye Celestial.
And the acting? Absolutely terrible—he had practically forced God Blood Celestial to admit defeat.
Such an unbearable humiliation, and God Blood Celestial had no choice but to endure it back then.
"When did I humiliate you? I had witnesses and evidence. I don’t even know Demon Eye Celestial! Do you want me to call him here to testify?" Qi Yuan, ever reasonable, countered.
"Blood Robe, playing dumb won’t work, and neither will stalling for time.
This entire area has been sealed by us. Even Purple Fate Ancestor won’t be able to find you here. No one can save you.
As for Demon Eye Celestial... even if he were your lapdog, he won’t show up here!" God Blood Celestial said, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.
With the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner sealing the area, only the three of them were left in this desolate trap. No one else would appear.
"Shrimp-head man! Not only are you slandering me, but you’re also spreading lies about Demon Eye Celestial!" Qi Yuan shouted angrily.
For some reason, after Qi Yuan’s outburst, God Blood Celestial suddenly felt an overwhelming force sweep over him. His head briefly transformed into that of a shrimp!
Panicked, he quickly returned his head to normal, looking at Qi Yuan with fear.
"Is this a contingency left behind by Purple Fate Ancestor? No wonder you’re so calm..." God Blood Celestial was wary but not afraid.
No matter how powerful Purple Fate Ancestor was, he wasn’t physically present. Killing Blood Robe here would still be an easy task.
"Typical! When you can’t win an argument, you resort to distractions?
Hmph, it’s a good thing I’m clever and always keep my evidence with me. I knew someone would try to frame me someday.
Demon Eye Celestial! Come out here and tell him yourself—do we know each other? Did I tell you to kill God Blood Celestial’s granddaughter?" Qi Yuan shouted.
"You... you’re Celestial Molo?"
God Blood Celestial was utterly shocked—and terrified.
The person standing before him was none other than Celestial Molo!
Great Bliss Celestial was just as stunned.
It was that terrifying Molo Celestial!
If that were the case, then it all made sense.
After all, Celestial Molo had comprehended not one but two Supreme Truths.
Having so many strange Yang Gods around him didn’t seem as far-fetched now.
Without hesitation, God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials immediately turned to flee.
The situation had grown far too bizarre.
This Blood Robe—or rather, Molo Celestial—wasn’t a normal Yang God.
What kind of Yang God had nearly a hundred other Yang Gods living inside them?
Qi Yuan watched them flee, unconcerned. His voice boomed with righteousness:
"Hmph! You won’t escape punishment! Since you’ve confessed, it’s time for you to die!"
Old Man Shenlei took a step forward.
"The thunder of the Nine Heavens, gather to form the Prison of Lightning. Capture them!"
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Pole, Qinghua, exuded an infinite, majestic presence. His voice was cold:
"Great Bliss, God Blood, your names are now written in the Black Ledger!"
One by one, the Yang God Celestials spoke, their divine voices transforming into chains that bound God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials.
God Blood Celestial panicked, struggling to break free.
Great Bliss Celestial waved the Ten Thousand Ghost Soul Banner, attempting to escape, and countless wailing spirits roared.
But under the assault of nearly a hundred Yang Gods, their resistance looked almost laughable—pathetic even.
"Expelled from manhood!"
At that moment, Qi Yuan executed judgment upon God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials.
Now at the Martial God of Myriad Daos level, having comprehended two Supreme Truths, Qi Yuan could easily crush any Supreme Truth cultivator.
There was no need for the Nascent Souls he had summoned. Qi Yuan could have easily subdued them alone.
However, he preferred to do things by the book.
...
Meanwhile, in Ghost Heaven.
Triad Celestial sat atop the clouds, his three faces impossible to read.
"How is it going?"
"They’re trapped in a strange land, the outcome unknown. But... Black Sword will be hard to kill. The Black Demon Abyss ancestor himself took out a Creation Artifact and is actively calculating Black Sword’s fate to extend his life."
Triad Celestial was not surprised by this.
"Indeed, even if a Grand Supreme Truth strikes, Black Sword would be difficult to kill.
Still, if we’ve managed to drain Black Demon Abyss’s old turtle of his heart’s blood, that’s good enough!"
Triad Celestial mused.
If they succeeded in killing Black Sword, it would be a great achievement. If they failed, no big deal.
Their main goal was simply to wear down the old ancestor of Black Demon Abyss.
"What about Blood Robe? By now, they should’ve succeeded, right?" Triad Celestial asked softly.
Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and shifted his gaze toward the Star Realm.
His eyes showed a flicker of curiosity.
"This is... Great Bliss’s Star Projection. What’s going on? Could Great Bliss be in danger?"
Within the Star Realm, Great Bliss Celestial’s Star Projection began to shine, as if struggling.
"Wait a moment. God Blood Celestial’s Star Projection is also acting strange. Could it be that Black Demon Abyss set up an ambush?" Triad Celestial watched closely.
"No, this isn’t Star Projections gathering power. This is something different. It’s as if they’re resisting something. What’s happening?"
Triad Celestial was perplexed.
At first, he thought God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials had encountered a powerful enemy and were summoning the power of their Star Projections for support.
But now it was clear—something else was going on.
The Star Projections were rebelling.
As if some overwhelming force was affecting the Star Realm itself.
This sight reminded Triad Celestial of the time when Purple Fate Ancestor had crushed one of Ghost Heaven’s Yang Gods along with his Star Projection.
But this was different.
When Purple Fate Ancestor had acted, he had killed the Yang God first, then shattered the Star Projection.
This time, God Blood and Great Bliss Celestials weren’t dead. So how were their Star Projections acting up?
Then, in the blink of an eye, Triad Celestial’s eyes widened.
Great Bliss and God Blood Celestials’ Star Projections began to twist and contort violently, as if on the verge of shattering, then slowly reformed.
After thousands of transformations, the two Star Projections finally cracked... and both transformed into the character for "woman."
That’s right. The Star Projections of two Yang Gods had been turned into the word "woman"—they had been expelled from manhood!
At that moment, the heavens shook, and countless Yang Gods across the realms were left in shock, baffled, as they witnessed this utterly bizarre scene.
