Chapter 597: Chapter 274 Six Paths of Reincarnation

"Boat girl and her daughter, two bad seeds!"

Granny Sha exploded in fury atop the Black Pot, but she soon couldn’t leap anymore. Her injuries were severe—her Primordial Spirit had been separated from her body during Unification, and the Furnace of Eight Trigrams had been broken. She needed to heal urgently, or there would be severe consequences.

The green sheep’s injuries were even worse than hers, and Hu Xiaoliang was slightly better off but not by much.

Zhong Kui was simply too strong; the trio was injured from just one encounter, and even meticulously prepared iron thorns hadn’t scratched him.

The Black Pot moved extremely fast, treading on the underworld’s terrain, casting fleeting shadows as it rushed into the distance. However, the face of Zhong Kui overhead followed them, matching the Black Pot’s speed without any effort.

His visage was enormous, overshadowing the sky, even larger than the Black Pot’s body. Looking up, one felt a desperate sense of oppression.

His coarse face bore sideburns like horned dragons, and his beard was robust as black trees. Surrounded by flames, his hands could descend from the skies and crush them into mud!

His powers in the underworld were even stronger than in the mortal world!

The Black Pot dashed desperately; at times, dodging left and right across the barren land, evading the crushing palms from above. Whenever evasion was impossible, Granny Sha and the others would muster all their remaining strength to fend off the giant hands.

But the three were already running out of steam, only managing to resist momentarily before being overwhelmed by Zhong Kui’s force.

After escaping thousands of miles, Zhong Kui was still relentlessly pursuing them. Just then, beneath the Black Pot, the ground trembled and cracked open, spewing heated air high into the sky.

The ground cracked with resounding snaps, and the Black Pot leaped into the air, only to see a massive rift beneath it, spewing crimson magma.

The Black Pot landed on the opposite bank, and Chen Shi stood atop its head, looking back only to see a towering ghostly figure emerging from the earth’s fissures and magma, taller than the mountains, grabbing up the molten river, instantly refining it, and using the crimson molten river as a whip, he lashed it towards the visage of Zhong Kui in the sky!

With that whip, countless molten droplets also scattered, hitting the ground and turning into huge black boulders that rolled thunderously.

Before the boulders could stop, they leapt up, transforming into molten imps over three meters tall, running wildly and ferociously all over.

The Black Pot stepped on countless molten imps that couldn’t dodge in time, many of which grabbed its fur, scrambling up its legs at breakneck speed, aiming to climb onto its back to kill everyone.

Chen Shi wielded the Youquan Wandering Dragon Sword, piercing through molten imp after molten imp.

Granny Sha and the others also summoned their residual strength to knock down these molten imps.

At the same time, a chilling wind howled as a fog charged towards them. The rolling mist, upon closer inspection, was discovered to be countless white bone skeletons tangled together, rapidly crawling forward—so many that from afar, it looked like roiling fog.

They moved too quickly, and the Black Pot couldn’t adjust its direction in time.

"Boom!"

The tidal wave of bone engulfed the Black Pot’s form, the Demon Fire around the Black Pot killing the skeletons that got too close, but those flames were mere spots on its body, not covering it entirely. Countless bony hands danced their way through the air towards them.

Skeleton after skeleton excitedly snapped its jaws.

Chen Shi urged the Youlong Sword, its radiant light flickering like a dragon, circling and flying around them. Numerous skeletons touched by this light burst open with loud bangs.

Zhuge Jian also activated the Wind and Thunder Yu Step Divine Spell, fighting vigorously. Occasionally, he pulled out a huge gun from behind and with a booming sound, turned dozens of flying skeletons into dust.

However, the gun could be used only once before needing to be cleared and reloaded with gunpowder.

In such critical times, there was no chance to stop and reload.

Just as they were about to be overwhelmed by the wave of bones, at the crucial moment, a temple illusion appeared behind Chen Shi, and a large-headed woman emerged, instantly causing the approaching skeletons to shatter into dust.

Stone Rock Lady was inexplicably excited; these skeletons were extremely dangerous to others but were an excellent supplement for her, and she unabashedly absorbed the stony essence within the bones!

Her body was originally that of a normal woman, but her head was as big as a dining table, which was quite disproportionate. Now, absorbing thousands of skeletons, her body grew once more.

Suddenly, skeletons danced their way up into the air, bony arms still struggling and reaching, trying to grasp something.

Earlier, the bone tide had blocked Chen Shi and the others’ view. The Black Pot could only struggle forward through the tide, but now with the skeletons airborne, their view suddenly widened.

Beside them, a ghostly figure even larger than the Black Pot grabbed a long bone whip, lashing it at the visage of Zhong Kui in the sky!

"The underworld’s Fire and Earth Judges!" Granny Sha exclaimed.

In the mortal world, she had been law-abiding, but in the underworld, she often committed crimes, making her well-acquainted with the underworld’s deities.

These two judges were the underworld’s fire and earth judges, inseparable companions. She hadn’t expected to encounter them here.

The Earth Judge, holding the bone whip, glanced at Granny Sha, but clearly, the criminal Zhong Kui was more interesting to him than the criminal Granny Sha.

The two underworld Judges, experts of the underworld’s laws, used molten river whips and bone whips to snare Zhong Kui’s arms, aiming to drag him from the mortal world into the underworld.
