Chapter 441: Chapter 291: The Book of Life and Death! The Judge’s Pen! 【One More!】

In the depths of the Forbidden Land.

Before the Soul Cleansing Pool.

A shadowy figure slowly appeared.

It was clad in a large red official robe, with a jade belt around its waist and a crown on its head.

In its left hand, it held a book, and in its right, a brush.

Emerging from the depths, its face was pale as paper, its expression rigid, and its voice low and somber, it slowly said, "Endless, eerie night, corroding all things, affecting Yin and Yang. Even for the Ghost Gods, disaster is destined!"

"As for us, using the ancient methods to seal, the Divine Soul can be preserved eternally!"

"Lord Qingling, you must know, breaking my seal and waking me is a grievous betrayal!"

The voice was cold and bone-chilling, penetrating to the soul.

These words were filled with rage, yet the tone was so detached one could barely detect any fluctuation in emotion.

"You overstate, Judge,"

Duke Murky Spirit slowly said, "Marquis previously decreed that I could act on behalf of Marquis Lingyou and handle all matters! Although this command came from me, it is equivalent to..."

The old shadow in the Soul Cleansing Pool appeared quite indifferent and continued, "After I depart, I will help the Marquis break free. When that time comes, and the Marquis returns, you all can fall back into slumber, resisting the erosion of the eerie night and quietly waiting for the era to restart!"

The Judge’s gaze deepened, and after a moment, he gravely stated, "If it were not for the Marquis’s escape relying on your aid, just for today’s incident of breaking my seal, I would never cease to strive against you!"

Duke Murky Spirit chuckled softly, his eyes slightly closed.

But as if remembering something, he reopened his eyes sharply and said, "Oh yes, Lord Qingling has completely perished. Through this refinement, I’ve severed ties with the past and rebirthed anew!"

"In the years to come, Lord Qingling will no longer exist; you may refer to me as Duke Murky Spirit!"

After a pause, he softly added, "Once my refinement is complete, inheriting Uncle Xianyou’s divine position, the Judge can also address me by my divine title."

"..."

The Judge ignored this, walking outward.

Not far away, three figures stood like iron towers outside the gates of the Yin Yang Bureau.

The middle figure was particularly large and robust, wearing a big red cloak and armor. It was the Martial Judge.

Positionally, the Judge of Civil and Martial Affairs were of equal standing.

However, the Civil Judge stood by the Marquis’s side, which invisibly placed him at a higher standing.

Most notably, this Martial Judge was someone who sixty years ago, came from the Human Clan and fortuitously inherited a divine position!

The Civil Judge, on the other hand, had existed for countless years and remained an unperished Ghost God!

"Greetings, Judge Sir!"

Two generals knelt on one knee, respectfully greeting.

The Martial Judge slightly bowed, also appearing respectful.

However, standing five zhang tall, his bow allowed a clearer view of his face.

At that moment, one could observe that the Martial Judge’s left eye was devoid of an eyeball.

In its place was a Divine Seal.

Gleaming lights twinkled on the Seal.

"Has it been accomplished?"

The Civil Judge’s voice was still icy cold, utterly detached of emotion.

"It has,"

the Martial Judge said in a deep voice.

Previously, he had removed his own eye and infused mana into it.

With Uncle Xianyou’s Divine Seal set in the socket of the left eye,

using an ancient Secret Technique, whatever his left eye saw would reflect onto the Divine Seal.

Thus, he threw his left eye out, amid the crevices of the flesh of Da Sui, and caught sight of those two young men.

However, at the edge of his vision, there seemed to be a young man hurrying towards them.

"Retrieve it,"

said the Civil Judge, lightly extending his hand.

The Ghost General on the left reached into the Martial Judge’s eye socket and removed the Divine Seal.

He showed little respect for the Martial Judge,

but when he came before the Civil Judge, he knelt down on one knee, offering the Divine Seal with both hands.

The Martial Judge’s annoyance flashed briefly through his right eye.

He was once the Grand Sect Master of the Tribulation Ash, and now as the Martial Judge, was supposed to have infinite glory, reigning above the mortal world.

Yet, he had not anticipated such disdain from these decrepit old things.

"Uncle Xianyou’s Divine Seal..."

Upon receiving the Divine Seal, the Civil Judge pressed it onto the book in his hand.

He then casually tossed the Seal to the Ghost General before him, blandly instructing, "Take it to the Soul Cleansing Pool, do not delay Duke Murky Spirit’s grand refinement ceremony!"

"Yes!"

The Ghost General took both hands to the Divine Seal, heading towards the Soul Cleansing Pool.

Meanwhile, the Civil Judge flicked his hand, and the book he was holding now revealed the imprint of the seal, shining brightly and flickering in mid-air.

In that light, two figures were revealed.

One in a Golden Patterned Black Robe, standing erect, dignified, holding a long sword, and carrying a Divine Bow on his back.

The other was dressed simply, yet he held a Jade Scroll, a long whip wrapped around his waist, and a Yin Soul by his side, clearly a Rapid Ghost of the Reporting Bureau.

"Hmm?"

The Civil Judge’s gaze sharpened slightly as he mused, "The Netherworld’s Soul Seizing Envoy’s decree?"

Before he could see clearly, the youth with the sword and bow suddenly slashed with his sword.

The sword’s light approached, and the scene shattered!

But in that split second of bursting, at the end of the vision, a young man in white, moving quickly and wearing a long sword, his demeanor extraordinary.

Then, there was only darkness.

This indicated that the sword had severed the Martial Judge’s left eye.

"What an impressive young man,"

mused the Civil Judge, a sense of admiration in his voice, "The three from the Human Clan appearing in this scene are all quite young, yet each possesses remarkable skills... In the past, such cultivation before it became uncontrollable would have been considered pillars of the Human Clan!"

He looked at the Martial Judge and continued slowly, "In today’s era, has the Human Clan already seized the momentum amidst the eerie night?"
