Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 370: Chapter 369: God?

"Break!"

With a long shriek, a violent burst of Primordial Qi shot out from Lin Hao’s fist, spreading out wildly like fireworks.

In an instant, in all directions, each identical mermaids’ face showed the same expression.

Seemingly afraid but not quite, seemingly smiling but not quite.

In the blink of an eye, the power unleashed by Lin Hao struck the mermaids all around.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Amidst the booming sounds, one mermaid after another was shattered into pieces by the violent force.

Lin Hao’s punch did not hit all the mermaids, yet the formidable power made the entire space seem as if it were twisting; in just a moment, all the countless mermaids vanished, and the picturesque scenery that was there before also disappeared, dissipating.

The brightness faded, and the palace corridor resumed its previous dark, undiscernible state, with everyone returning to that sense of being lost in the darkness.

Was it all an illusion?

The beauty and charm of the mermaids dissipated into nothingness, leaving many with an inexplicable sense of loss.

Everyone looked to each other, only to realize they were all covered in cold sweat.

Illusions could chill the heart!

Illusions could bring a sense of genuine fear!

Amidst the true and false, the false and true, within the illusion, who knew if they might follow in the footsteps of that dead rich second-generation?

Such mighty mermaids, such formidable Fish Demons!

"What do we do... what do we do now?" Lan Tianhao was already feeling apprehensive at this moment.

These Fish Demons had such powerful experts; had Lin Hao not been here today, all of their more than four hundred people would surely be dead without even traces left.

"Is the illusion gone?" Lan Xinxin’s palms were sweaty, her astonishment clear as she looked around the darkness, and even down at the floor, stepping hard twice on the skeletal floor.

The sensation of standing in midair from just before was too real; now even Lan Xinxin was somewhat disinclined to believe that she was truly stepping on a floor of bones.

But Lin Hao did not respond.

Having unleashed a punch, Lin Hao’s gaze remained fixed ahead.

Ahead, far in the distance, there was still a dot of light!

"True, false? Illusory? Life is but a drop in the ocean, existence merely pain and sorrow, humans, from birth, are but moving towards death—what meaning is there in life?"

Suddenly, that divine and crisp voice was heard again, only this time, everyone in the corridor could hear it!

"Who is it!"

Song Qinghong and the others shuddered, trying to pinpoint the source of the voice, quickly noticing the dot of light in front of them.

"Stepping into this palace is stepping into death. Are you all prepared for death?"

"Between heaven and earth, countless wronged souls and ghosts converge here. This is the land of death, the end of life, the ultimate destination."

"Do you remember those whom you’ve killed?"

The voice emanating from that distant point of light was ethereal, as if it held a strange charm within it.

Suddenly, a group of semi-transparent figures flew out from the dot of light, silently drifting towards them.

"Another illusion, trivial trickery, how long do you seek to delude us?" Lan Tianhao gritted his teeth, glaring at the approaching semi-transparent figures.

Closer, they grew closer!

The figures drew ever nearer, but the chilly air in the corridor grew increasingly intense.

"Ghosts?"

Suddenly, Huai Shian let out a low cry, startled as he looked at the first, leading semi-transparent figure, exclaiming before rubbing his eyes vigorously.

Following that, the others also widened their eyes, looking incredulously ahead.

Lin Hao saw it too.

Among the increasingly numerous translucent figures, many were people he knew.

The dead.

They were individuals he had killed, both known and unknown, including the Ye Family’s patriarch and Yelü Hao, who were now among these translucent figures drifting closer to Lin Hao.

"Do you see them? These are the souls of those you have killed. Their great vendetta remains unavenged, refusing to enter the cycle of reincarnation, wandering in my Nine Netherworld, all for the purpose of one day seeking revenge."

Whirring...

A distant speck of light, followed by the clashing sounds of beads colliding, then suddenly, behind the countless departing spirits, countless brown Buddha Beads flew out, strand after strand, spiraling towards them.

In an instant, the world changed again!

The entire passageway transformed into a world of Buddha Beads.

Countless Buddha Beads spiraled around, twirling with the spirits in the sky.

They were everywhere, densely packed, enclosing the group.

Lin Hao felt like he was standing right within the channel formed by Buddha Beads, surrounded by countless souls.

Above his head, under his feet, all around, the spinning beads and ghosts were dizzying.

"Give me my life back!"

"I died so miserably, I want you to die even more miserably than I did!"

"Come quickly, it’s so cold here, just waiting for you!"

Countless wailing spirits at their ears made one’s scalp tingle.

It’s fake.

All just illusions.

The group told themselves in their hearts.

But, the illusion was too realistic, especially the spirits, each one looked so familiar.

"This is the sin you have committed, you who claim to be noble, yet your hands are stained with the blood of your kind."

"Come, by entering this place, you will all receive my judgment!"

"Do you see these Holy Beads? Each bead represents each one of you who enters this world."

"Perfect, I have four hundred and fifty-eight Holy Beads, representing four hundred and fifty-eight of you."

"I will act on behalf of the heavens and earth to cleanse your souls, to cleanse your sins."

"Look, you are already being cleansed!"

"The cleansing of sins means that your Holy Beads will lose their sinful color and return to a pure white!"

The sacred and majestic voice emanated from the bright light, as though coming from each bead, giving everyone a sensation as if they wanted to fall to their knees in worship.

Seeing those spirits, of those they had killed, floating around the Holy Beads made everyone feel bewildered.

"Bullshit, we only have four hundred and fifty-three people, where did the four hundred and fifty-eight come from? It’s all fake. What cleansing of sins? Who is she to judge?"

Huai Shian’s face became very ugly, surrounded by over a hundred wailing spirits, all of whom had died by his hand.

Now, each of them circled around him, demanding his life, even baring their teeth and grimacing, so realistic that Huai Shian, despite knowing it was fake, still felt his flesh creep.

"It’s fake, this whole one bead for one person thing is clearly a sham. They’re just trying to scare us, even the numbers don’t add up."

Song Taishan was also drenched in cold sweat. He didn’t believe it, but the reality in front of him was indistinguishable from the fake, and the fears that arose from their previous experiences with the shady ship also filled him with dread.

"It’s not right. We actually have four hundred and fifty-eight people, with five having died at sea."

Suddenly, Li Gui screamed in the crowd, his face stricken with terror as he looked around, shouting as if he was about to collapse, "She got the number right, we’ve entered the Death God Palace, she is the Death God, we’re all going to die, we’re all going to die!"

Li Gui screamed with a face of despair, rushing out headlong, vanishing in the blink of an eye into a bead, his presence instantly dissipating without a trace.
