Chapter 771
Harvesting the Source of Hell's Authority
In the deep winter of Extraordinary Era 13684, an ultimate battle powerful enough to tear apart the veil of the heavens erupted on the edge of the Star Abyss Land.
The Source Demon God, who had been plotting for a long time, joined forces with the arrogant Grand Lord who had betrayed Hell, the unfathomably powerful Ye Lingtian, and acquired a whole military legion of divine power flowing with destructive energy, recently joined by the Red Heart Society.
This army, comprised of the most dangerous forces in the multiverse, has a clear and resolute objective.
[That will of hell itself, hanging high above endless dimensions, symbolizing primordial chaos and end.]
The battle skipped all probing from the very beginning and went straight into its most brutal and frenzied phase.
The body of the Source Demon God transformed into a dark abyss that devoured rules; Ye Lingtian's sword light severed the chains of cause and effect; and the Arrogant Lord burned away the original sin of arrogance accumulated over countless ages.
This raging power drove the Red Heart Legion's war machines, forged from pure divine power, to unleash a devastating torrent upon the vast and boundless body of the Will of Hell.
The energy storm tore apart the inherent spacetime structure of the Star Abyss, and fragments of laws rained down like a storm.
Faced with an attack from beings at the Transcendent level, even the mighty Will of Hell, whose manifested form was immense, was shaken by this raging tide that combined internal and external disruptive forces.
Finally, with a silent shriek that resounded across countless planes, a mixture of rage and astonishment, His dark silhouette, spanning billions of miles, was forcefully blasted away from the Star Abyss, which He had cultivated for countless eons!
Leaving the Star Abyss was not a defeat, but a strategic retreat.
The Source Demon God, Ye Lingtian, and the Arrogant Lord were completely unconcerned about the terrible damage their divine bodies suffered in the violent collision; their intentions were crystal clear.
That is to force the will of Hell to leave its outer fortress, the true spearhead pointing directly at the very essence of Hell, the source of all evil and end.
The Will of Hell naturally saw through this blatant conspiracy, but it felt no panic whatsoever. Instead, its retreat was fueled by a chilling mockery.
Because all the wills of the great worlds uphold a supreme law: on the soil where their power originates, and within the domain completely covered by their authority, they are near-invincible absolute rulers.
No matter how fierce the external conquests, once the focus shifts back to the homeland, the roles of attacker and defender reverse, and the hunter and the hunted are instantly reversed.
Thus, as the will of hell, carrying the lingering aftershocks of the battlefield, relentlessly retreated into the vast world enveloped by endless flames of sin and distorted rules,...
[A unilateral and overwhelming crackdown, expected in the first place, and a far more brutal and protracted struggle, simultaneously set the stage for a bloody prelude.]
[In March of the Extraordinary Calendar 14216, after hundreds of years of relentless attrition and probing on the front lines, a barely perceptible rift in the laws was created by the Red Heart Society's divine power legion at the cost of its own annihilation.]
The Source Demon God's body, already riddled with cracks yet still ferocious, forcefully broke into the interior of Hell.
Beneath a sky a tapestry of crimson and darkness, the earth is a horrific mass of writhing viscera, while the heavens echo with the mournful howls of eternal agony.
The will of hell has waited far too long for this moment.
Within its absolute domain of control, all external laws were suppressed, and the destructive black light emanating from the Source Demon God visibly dimmed.
[Walking right into a trap!]
[The will of Hell materialized into a tangible pressure, like the weight of the entire world, slowly descending, intending to crush the invading demon god into dust, extract its essence to nourish itself.] [However, just as the will of Hell mobilized the boundless negative power of Hell, about to complete the suppression, a sudden change occurred!]
[An extraordinary power, which should never have appeared here and should never have been permitted by any hellish rules, erupted without warning from the deepest part of the Source Demon God's body.]
That power was neither darkness nor light; it was vast, ancient, and indifferent, possessing a higher-dimensional quality that transcended the current framework of the universe and sent chills down one's spine.
It easily negated the oppressive rules of Hell's native land, and even began to corrupt the surrounding laws of sin.
[Immediately following, a dazzling light, originating from the same source but manifesting differently, also erupted from Ye Lingtian, who was bombarding Hell in the distance. Within that light flowed chains of undecipherable runes.]
With the support of these two inexplicable and mysterious forces, the battle situation underwent a dramatic reversal.
[The will of hell, which should have dominated everything, was actually being forced into retreat by the combined offensive of the Source Demon God and Ye Lingtian, which defied all logic, within its own realm.]
The protective barrier formed by the power of the world was torn apart layer by layer, and the dark tentacles symbolizing authority were severed inch by inch. His will was not even able to effectively muster a complete counterattack, and he could only stand up under this sudden blow.
The real harvest begins now.
The arrogant prince, who had been lying in wait, gleamed with an insatiable greed for power and a fanatical devotion to the Red Heart Society.
[He led the Red Heart Order's even more elite divine military legions, like the most skilled anatomist, charging towards the vital points where the laws of Hell converged.]
As a Great Lord who had reigned at the pinnacle of power in Hell for countless years, Arrogance knew all too well the intricate structure of this world of suffering.
He knew by heart where the molten core of wrathful authority lay, where the vaults of greed resided, and where the threads of the rules of deception stretched out.
[The Red Heart Society's divine military might, with its cold yet efficient methods of killing and gathering creations, guided by arrogance, began to cut, peel away, and seal the most fundamental primordial authority of Hell with astonishing precision and efficiency.]
The entire hell trembled in agony, the very foundations of the world were shaken, as if undergoing a slow and precise live dissection.
This incredible scene shocked all the Hellish Primal Lords who were still observing or resisting.
The terrifying technological prowess displayed by the Red Heart Society—enough to suppress the native will at the core of Hell—and the unfathomable alien power behind it instilled in them a fear originating from the level of life itself.
[And the Arrogant Prince, this former colleague, not only rose to a level of power beyond their comprehension after joining the Red Heart Society, but also now plays a fatal guiding role.]
The cost of betrayal has been overshadowed by the arrogant success, and loyalty to the hellish will that is being suppressed seems incredibly foolish and dangerous.
The primal desire for survival and advancement overwhelmed reverence for the former master.
[Without much discussion, after several ancient lords took the lead in defecting and turning their attention to the remaining direct forces of the Will of Hell, an avalanche of betrayals unfolded throughout Hell.]
[The true gods of Hell have begun their mass defection.] (End of Chapter)
