Chapter 622: The Mad Purple Monarch

At the same time, Sin's original eleven pupils re-merged, transforming into three enormous purplish-black pupils. These appeared like three mirrors connecting to the Gates of Hell. Through them, countless demon souls swiftly materialized, screaming hysterically, and poured frantically out of the Ghostly Gorge, beginning to sweep through all nearby areas where life flickered.

The low-level ghostly life forms around the Ghostly Gorge, such as the monstrous crabs created by Zikuan, were all instantly reduced to ash under the terrifying consumption of these demon souls.

Once the demon legions are formed, their collective effect and destructive power become unimaginable. They sweep through everything in their path, and anything that obstructs their advance is instantly annihilated.

"Hahaha!" Zikuan roared. "Xu Yang, isn't this exactly what you wished to see? I will fill every corner of this continent with demon footprints, and the power of the demonic lineage will become its supreme ruler. And you, ultimately, will be the culprit behind all of this—you will become the sinner of the entire continent!"

Zikuan laughed maniacally, his soul-voice echoing repeatedly through the battlefield's void. Just then, Xu Yang suddenly opened his eyes. From his pupils shot two streaks of multi-colored light, piercing through heaven and earth. In an instant, they illuminated the dim void, bringing two rays of dawn that pierced the sky.

"My heavens, look! The Boss has awakened!"

At this moment, Xu Yang's body radiated myriad auspicious colors and boundless brilliance. He stood proudly in the void, like a god descended from the heavens. Slowly, he raised his right hand, gathering the power of the myriad universal laws he had comprehended into his palm.

"Zikuan, you are ultimately too hasty," Xu Yang stated. "If you had waited for your cultivation method to reach perfection, allowing your three divine legacies to perfectly merge, then you truly would have had a chance to defeat me. But now, even if you regret it, it's too late."

As Xu Yang finished speaking, the power of the laws in his palm surged forth. Wherever it passed, endless darkness was instantly swallowed. All demon souls, the moment they touched this aura, lost all ability to resist and were completely reduced to ash.

Xu Yang strode through the void, and with each step, a radiant glow of laws spread out, purifying the firmament with the purest essence of heaven and earth, like stars and a bright moon illuminating the night sky.

Seeing Xu Yang in this state, Zikuan truly began to panic. He had never witnessed a human capable of destroying everything around him in such a manner.

"Is this the supreme realm of Human-Dao Unity?" Shilingyun murmured, "Emulating Heaven and Earth, my Lord reigns supreme!"

Endless adoration burned in Shilingyun's eyes. Only at this moment did he truly regard Xu Yang as the idol and goal of his entire life.

There was a time when Shilingyun wished to spend her entire life within the Eight Hundred Buddhist Sects, dedicating herself to propagating the glory of Buddhism. But upon seeing Xu Yang in this posture, she finally understood that even higher levels and realms awaited her pursuit. At Xu Yang's level, purifying all beings was merely a matter of a single thought.

"Boss, what do we do now?" Sin asked. "The three Gates of Hell have simultaneously locked onto Xu Yang's position, but no matter how powerful the demon souls we release, they seem to automatically disappear the moment they touch him!

"By all accounts, Xu Yang's realm shouldn't possess such power! Our demon souls are immensely powerful; even if he controls the laws within this underground palace, he absolutely shouldn't be able to destroy them so easily!"

Sin couldn't help but voice his question. However, at that very moment, Long Kun burst into mocking laughter. "That's because you don't realize my Boss possesses the Heart of an Angel and originally held a portion of true angelic power," he explained. "If I'm not mistaken, Boss is integrating the myriad laws within this underground palace with the angelic power inside him. This allows the law fluctuations he releases to possess the inherent purification effect of the angelic lineage, which is the only way he can maximally curb your demonic power!"

Facts proved Long Kun's judgment was spot on.

Xu Yang was indeed integrating angelic power into the myriad laws, specifically suppressing the endless demon souls from Zikuan's most prideful Gates of Hell. Only in this way could he most efficiently and swiftly clear all demons from the battlefield, preventing the Gates of Hell from spiraling out of control and ultimately implicating the entire Glacier Kingdom and even the entire continent.

"Zikuan, surrender now," Xu Yang commanded, his voice carrying the inherent majesty of the universal laws. "You no longer have the strength to contend with me. If you surrender to me now, fulfill your promise, and hand over the power of the Angelic Soul Pillar, I will not take your life."

Xu Yang's words inherently carried the unique majesty of the universal laws. It was a voice like a judgment that no living being could defy, and when it reached the ears of those present, it even had a certain deterrent effect on their souls.

Zikuan gritted his teeth, utterly unwilling. "Shut up!" he snarled. "Do you really think you're invincible now? Xu Yang, I tell you, I've prepared for this day for countless years; there's no way it will be ruined in your hands! If I don't get the chance to exact revenge on the Glacier Kingdom in this life, then my life, Zikuan's life, will have been lived in vain!"

Zikuan's holy rage surged to the heavens; he was gradually losing his reason. Even Sin, his sacrificial beast, was filled with fear at his appearance.

"Sin," Zikuan declared, "you've been with me for so many years; it's time for you to make your sacrifice!"

Hearing this, Sin naturally understood his master's intentions. He wasn't afraid to die, for every Realm Spirit's ultimate fate was to perish.

But Sin knew very well that if all six Gates of Hell were opened, the consequences would be unimaginable. At that point, even if the world did become as Zikuan envisioned, he would have no chance of standing at the continent's apex.

"No need to say more, my mind is made up!" Zikuan roared. "If I can't even get past Xu Yang, what right do I have to contend with the three main god legacies of the entire Glacier Kingdom? Today, even if I stake everything, I will fight to the end! Xu Yang, aren't you very confident? I'd like to see how you, alone, can contend with my entire Six Paths of Demons!"

*Boom!*

The next moment, Zikuan let out a hysterical roar. His two pupils were completely destroyed, transforming into two streaks of purplish-red blood light. These two streaks, like two dragon souls, crisscrossed and plunged into Sin's body beside him.

The two blood-colored souls were precisely the two life essences of Zikuan himself. He was forcibly opening the last three Gates of Hell by sacrificing his own life, simultaneously ushering in the catastrophe of the Six Paths of Demons reigning over the continent!

"Oh no, this guy is truly insane!" Shilingyun exclaimed. "He's actually going to open all six Gates of Hell simultaneously!"

Shilingyun's voice actually trembled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief. Long Kun, however, seemed somewhat puzzled.

"Why are you so agitated?" Long Kun asked. "With our Boss here, he can easily suppress three Gates of Hell. If there are three more, even if Boss can't handle them alone, it won't be as terrifying as you imagine!"

Shilingyun, however, shook his head. "No, opening all Six Paths of Demons simultaneously is not as simple as merely adding the power of three more gates!

"Because once all six Gates of Hell are opened simultaneously, the coordinates here will link with the entire demonic race's dimensional space. It's equivalent to opening a direct passage to the demonic race within this underground palace. That's certainly not as simple as just releasing a few demon souls. The entire demonic race, from top to bottom, all their top-tier divine-level experts, will be able to descend upon our continent at any time. It's equivalent to making our entire continent and the demonic world completely accessible to each other!

"Once such a situation arises, the demonic race, as a higher realm, will invade our continent with the arrogance of supreme gods. They will treat the beings of our continent as mere food and ants to be wantonly devoured. At that point, the balance between all dimensional spaces will be completely shattered. Our continent will usher in a new era of conflict, the peace treaty established by the divine race fifty thousand years ago will be broken, and our human continent will know no peace!"
