Chapter 2240: The Venerable's Harvest Plan (2)
?
That did not matter. It was fine as long as he lured out the Heavenly River Chessboard. It was fine as long as the Netherworld intercepted him in the end.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Heavenly River Chessboard appeared in the Samsara Small Universe, it would be like it's all in the family with the strength of the Netherworld's control over the Samsara Small Universe. It would not be able to escape.
However, the Venerable did not expect that the successor of Prefecture Lord Taishan, the energy incarnation of the three alien supreme beings, would also come.
Everyone was taking advantage of the situation. There was also the cooperation of Houtu's Will. Not only did they not obtain the Heavenly River Chessboard, but they also lost nine of the ten Kings of Hell. They also lost 30% of Houtu's Will.
In the end, the Netherworld, which had designed for the longest time, did not obtain anything. They had all benefited the three alien races and the successor of the Taishan Prefecture Lord. It was impossible for the Venerable not to be angry.
The Venerable holding the Immortal Slaying Flag charged towards the cosmic tunnel above the Immortal Slaying Platform without any hesitation. He wanted to kill Xu Tui in the cosmic tunnel. As long as he took back the seal, the greatest threat to the Netherworld would be gone. To his surprise, the moment the Venerable approached the cosmic Will of Houtu in the entire Samsara Small Universe suddenly flashed with a yellow light. Countless invisible lights shot towards him.
The entrance of the cosmic tunnel was also instantly sealed by the Will of Houtu. The Venerable let out an angry snort. The Vajra Pestle shone brightly and wanted to charge forward.
But the originally invisible Houtu's Will turned into a tangible restraint on the Venerable's body. Even the Emperor Yin Seal and Yin Yang Vermillion in Emperor Yin's hand could not help but surge out with countless Houtu's Will that blasted towards the Venerable.
Emperor Yin was stunned. His seal and Yin Yang Vermillion refused to listen to his commands. In just an instant, countless Will of Houtu was bound around the Venerable and he could not move.
What Houtu meant would be the Will of Samsara Small Universe. No matter how strong the Venerable was, he could not resist a real cosmic's will. He sighed gloomily and decisively gave up on the idea of rushing into the cosmic tunnel in front of him.
It was magical.
When the Venerable gave up on the idea of rushing into the cosmic tunnel, Houtu's Will, which had bound him heavily, completely disappeared.
The entire Samsara Small Universe returned to calm.
Xu Tui's afterimage disappeared from the cosmic tunnel in front of him. The cosmic tunnel also closed. Neither Emperor Yin nor the Venerable was surprised by this scene. They knew too well the reason for this scene. This was directly related to the fact that the Venerable One could enter the Netherworld back then.
If not for the fact that the Venerable had made a great oath and expressed that he would definitely not leave the Samsara Small Universe if hell was not empty under the witness of Houtu's Will, the ancient Heavenly Court would not have allowed the Venerable to enter the underworld.
Now, it had become a restraint that trapped a Venerable in the Netherworld. There was a huge restriction on the Venerable. But then again, if the Venerable had not agreed to so many conditions back then, he would probably not have existed.
The return of the Sages was not a joke. Emperor Yin knew about these traps. Including him, he was also within the range of this karmic restraint. Therefore, he was not surprised by the scene in front of him.
Looking at the disappearing cosmic tunnel, the Venerable slowly left. "Count the losses." With that, the Venerable who had left the Immortal Slaying Platform disappeared.
To the Netherworld, the losses of ordinary ghost generals were nothing. Losing tens of thousands of ghost soldiers was nothing. Even the losses of the Ten Kings of Hell and the Ghost Kings were nothing.
The real loss was the loss of Houtu's Will. It was also the loss of the ten Yama Seals and the Ghost King Seals. There was no need for others to count such losses. After returning to Emperor Yin's hall in Fengdu City, Emperor Yin only activated Emperor Yin's seal for less than a minute to sense it clearly.
After sensing it clearly, Emperor Yin trembled when he saw the results. He knew that they had suffered a huge loss in this battle, but he did not expect them to suffer such a huge loss. It was much larger than he had imagined.
"Venerable, after I counted, I discovered that nine of the ten Yama Kings' seals had been destroyed. A total of 47 Ghost Kings' seals had been destroyed. There's only one left out of the ten Kings of Hell."
"Tell me directly about the loss of Houtu's Will." The Venerable was in a fit of anger. He no longer addressed Emperor Yin as 'Your Majesty'.
A bitter expression appeared on Emperor Yin's face. The losses were really huge. "Venerable, we have lost nearly half of Houtu's Will!"
Previously, 30% of the Will of Houtu in the Netherworld was controlled by Emperor Yin. The remaining 30% belonged to the ten Kings of Hell. The rest belonged to the Ghost Kings and some special positions.
This distribution was to allow Netherworld to better rule the Samsara Small Universe. It also had a hint of balance. However, the Venerable did not expect the losses this time to be so
huge.
The Venerable was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Your Majesty, then calculate again. If we use the Will of Houtu in the Samsara Small Universe as a unit, how much of Houtu's Will
is left?"
"This?" The question made Emperor Yin slightly stunned. Then, he quickly activated Emperor Yin's seal to sense it. "Venerable, Lord Taishan originally occupied 30% of the Will of Houtu in the Samsara Small Universe. This time, it should have become much stronger. The three Ghost Emperor Seals that the three races had also absorbed a lot of Houtu's Will. Now, they were directly brought out of the Samsara Small Universe.
"In that case, there are less than 40% of Houtu's Will left in the Samsara Small Universe. It's only slightly more than 30%," Emperor Yin said.
"In that case, the Will of Houtu in the Samsara Small Universe has become unprecedentedly weak?" the Venerable suddenly asked.
This question was a little sudden, so Emperor Yin could not react in time. After thinking for a few seconds, Emperor Yin said, "Compared to before, that's indeed the case. In the past, the Will of Houtu in the seal of the Prefecture Lord of Mount Tai was wandering outside. Now, they have taken away nine Yama Seals and nearly 50 Ghost King Seals. The remnant of Houtu's Will in the entire Samsara Small Universe is nearly half less than before."
"The Will of Houtu in the Samsara Small Universe has been weakened by half." The Venerable suddenly pondered. "Fortune and disaster come together! Karma and reincarnation, you're
not lying to me!"
Emperor Yin was at a loss. He did not understand what the venerable meant.
"Your Majesty, do you want to completely become the master of the Samsara Small Universe? Not like now, when your name is Emperor Yin, but you're actually only controlling the Samsara Small Universe on behalf of the Houtu's Will? Do you want to enter and leave the Samsara Small Universe freely in the future?" the Venerable suddenly asked.
This question continued to make Emperor Yin at a loss. He did not quite understand what the Venerable meant. As far as Emperor Yin was concerned, he did not care about the first of the two conditions mentioned by the venerable. But he was looking forward to the second condition. The Samsara Small Universe was like a cage to him. He wanted to get out.
"Yes!" Emperor Yin gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
"Then please cooperate with me, Your Majesty."
"Venerable, how do I cooperate?" Emperor Yin asked.
"Your Majesty, hand over Emperor Yin's seal and Yin-Yang Vermillion to me first. Then, completely give up on controlling these two treasures. If Houtu's Will affects you later, Your Majesty will also resist with all your might."
Before the Venerable could finish his sentence, Emperor Yin understood his intentions. "Venerable, I'm afraid I can't get past that step, right?"
"Hmph, just because you couldn't get past it in the past doesn't mean you can't now. After all,
the Will of Houtu in the Samsara Small Universe had been weakened by two times because of this battle. This was the weakest of Houtu's Will in the Samsara Small Universe for thousands of years. It's also the time when I'm most likely to succeed," the Venerable One said.
"If it doesn't work..."
"If it doesn't work, I will bear all the karma. It has nothing to do with Your Majesty!" the
Venerable said.
"Alright!" After hesitating for a few seconds, Emperor Yin sighed softly and agreed. Actually,
it did not matter if he agreed or not. What the Venerable One wanted was an attitude. Emperor Yin had no ability to refuse in front of the Venerable.
"It will take a long time for me to completely refine it. During this period, please guard the Samsara Small Universe well, Your Majesty. If a powerful enemy attacks, don't worry. Kill
them with all your might," the Venerable said.
"I understand."
In the next moment, Emperor Yin's seal and Yin Yang Vermilion Bird flew up at the same time.
