289: Yaksha Vs Witch
🕑 Added 2025-06-13 15:31:28 +0000 UTCAs soon as the Yama God Emperor entered, the vast aura of eight God Emperors' strength suddenly pressed down on him. His entire body turned rigid as he froze in place, his knees and back letting out sharp cracking sounds. It was as if a galaxy was brutally crushing him.
The people behind him weren't in a better situation. His daughter Yan Wu's face darkened as she gritted her teeth to endure it, while her older brother's knees bent and he nearly collapsed to the ground, his face turning redder than a pig's liver.
On the other hand, the Burning Moon God Emperor's situation was much worse. The pressure forced him to take a step back, and that single step was so heavy it left a deep mark on the ground. The Moon Eaters behind him were in an even more pathetic state, aside from the strongest, Fen Daojun; the others were nearly kneeling.
Both God Emperors' eyes were extremely wide as they stared at the witches facing them, in utter and complete disbelief. Even though they were facing their pressure, they couldn't believe what they were seeing!
Seven 10th level Divine Masters!
No! Including the Devil Queen, there are eight 10th level Divine Masters standing before them!
Eight freaking God Emperor-level powerhouses!
What kind of concept was that!? Even at their peak, the Yama Realm only had three 10th level Divine Masters! Including the three ancestors, they had only six!
Aside from the Dragon God Realm, which had nine Dragon Gods and the Dragon Monarch, no King Realm had ever boasted such a large number of peak-level Divine Masters.
Boom!
The Yama God Emperor gathered his aura, and in the next instant, it exploded outward, pushing back the oppressive pressure. With a cold face, he glared at Chi Wuyao, "Devil Queen, did you call us here just to make a show of strength!?"
With the pressure easing, the others finally managed to stand firm again, calming their breathing as they glared at the women before them.
"Sigh~! Yan Tianxiao is so smart! You guessed my true intention right away~" Chi Wuyao's seductive voice rang out, making them all shudder, and their blood boiled. She chuckled and said, "You've been snooping around my place nonstop lately, and I'm just a weak woman. If I didn't use a little petty trick, how else could I scare you and keep my home safe?"
"And it seems I succeeded, right, Burning Moon God Emperor?" she said, a mocking smile appearing beneath the fog that hid her figure. Her dark eyes locked onto the still-shocked Burning Moon God Emperor.
'Fuck, he truly is a disgrace to all God Emperors!' Yan Tianxiao cursed under his breath as he watched that disgraceful performance. His gut churned at sharing the same title with this embarrassment.
The Burning Moon God Emperor's face didn't change despite her sharp, mocking words. Instead, he asked, "Why did you invite us here, Devil Queen?"
"I gathered you here to talk about something very important, something that will affect not only the Northern Divine Region but also your realms," Chi Wuyao said as she rose from her high throne, walking gracefully down the stairs. She stopped beside Yao Die and patted her head, then added, "But before that, aren't you all curious about my cute children? Why don't you have a spare with her?"
"A spare?" Yan Tianxiao narrowed his eyes as he asked.
"Yes. It would be looking down on you two God Emperors, to fight my cute, frail child. So why not have the famous Yaksha Devil fight my Yao Die?" Chi Wuyao spoke casually, pointing at Yan Wu standing behind her father.
She knew exactly how these people felt, disbelief after witnessing this scene. After all, just a few months ago, aside from her and the Great Witches, the other witches were far from reaching God Emperor level. Such a shocking change would have thrown her completely off guard if she had seen it with her own eyes, let alone them.
A single breakthrough may be shocking, but still believable. Five at once? No one would believe that, not even as a joke. Even now, witnessing this scene, they must be struggling to believe it.
They might even think she was using some trick to fool them.
So why not show them it's real, and then shatter their fantasy for good?
"Hmph! Why not? I'm curious about the strength of those famous witches, too." Yan Wu stepped forward before her father could answer, letting out a cold snort as she glanced disdainfully at Chi Wuyao and then at Yao Die.
Yan Wu was incredibly arrogant and prideful. She looked down on everyone except her father. Even standing before the infamous Devil Queen, she refused to show the slightest weakness.
"Good! As expected of the lady Yaksha, your spirit is admirable!" Chi Wuyao wasn't upset. Instead, she clapped happily, "A fight between Divine Masters would wreck this Queen's small house. Let's go to the Empty Soul Palace."
...
The Empty Soul Palace is a battlefield built to handle brutal fights between Divine Masters.
Every King Realm has at least one, much like the Star God Realm's Stardust Palace.
Unlike the Stardust Palace, which had an empty void dotted with glimmering specks of starlight, the Empty Soul Palace was completely dark, a boundless space stretching endlessly into the void.
Yan Wu hovered in the air, wrapped in her tight battle suit, gripping a long spear taller than herself in her right hand, her eyes coldly fixed on the woman before her.
Yao Die was dressed in yellow, with sleeves that looked like they were constantly floating and long hair as black as ink. She also wore an incredibly beautiful butterfly mask to cover her face and eyes.
'Young Master is definitely watching this fight. I can't disappoint him. Maybe if I beat this woman... he'll look more favorably on me~' Black butterflies began swirling in Yao Die's eyes as she thought shyly.
Without exchanging any words with her opponent, Yao Die reached out and made a grabbing motion toward Yan Wu.
"Hmph!" Yan Wu snorted and swung her spear horizontally in retaliation.
Boom!
The clash echoed loudly as Yao Die's hand was flung backward.
Yan Wu started twirling her long spear in the air. It moved like a dragon soaring out of an abyss, dancing fiercely, and the dark, devilish light radiating from it instantly flooded the space around them.
Bang!
She stomped violently on the air as if it were solid ground. Rumbling shockwaves erupted beneath her, propelling her forward like a cannonball. In a split second, she was right in front of Yao Die, thrusting her spear straight at her chest!
The spear pierced through Yao Die's chest and tore out from her back. In the next instant, her body burst into countless black butterflies, which swirled around before reassembling her form behind Yan Wu.
She whispered something and waved her hands. Her aura changed suddenly, and black butterflies suddenly appeared all around Yan Wu. Every single one contained an aura of abyssal darkness and death.
The butterflies surged endlessly, forming a dome-like domain confining the Yaksha. The latter didn't show any emotion on her face; she twirled slightly and split the air with a grey light.
Gripping the spear in her hand, she easily pierced holes in the black world that sustained the black butterflies, killing them as if their bodies were made of smoke. Not a single one of the butterflies was able to get close to her.
Yao Die's dance stopped for a second before she clenched her hands into fists and withdrew the butterflies.
They gathered behind her to form a pair of butterfly wings that were three hundred meters long. She then appeared next to Yan Wu like a ghost and folded her wings, threatening to turn Yan Wu and the space around her into a black abyss that devoured everything.
Wrapped within her wings, Yao Die began raining down fists on the Yaksha like a hailstorm.
It was a strange sight, Yan Wu stood tall, towering over most men, while Yao Die was just a bit over 5'8". Seeing the taller one getting punched and smacked by someone shorter felt odd.
Rumble!
The whole surface of the black void rippled and shook, the tremors lasting for quite some time before fading.
Yan Wu's brows furrowed slightly. After the exchanges, she realized her profound cultivation was a bit higher than Yao Die's. She had been mostly defending, caught off guard by the strange and crazy speed at which Yao Die unleashed and withdrew her dark, profound energy
Every time Yan Wu pushed her back and got ready to strike, Yao Die had already pulled back her energy and gathered strength to launch another attack!
It's just like Yan Hao said, these witches' control over darkness had reached perfection! Not only had their strength undergone an earth-shaking leap, but their mastery over the usually unruly darkness had gone beyond all limits!
Rumble!
Rumble!
RUMBLE!!
Yao Die's small, delicate fists slammed violently into the tall Yaksha's body like antimatter bombs. Each time one of her attacks landed, a huge, dark, world-shattering explosion erupted in the void, making the very space holding this place convulse!
Yan Wu had to devote all her effort to defense. A two-hundred-meter Yama Ghost engulfed her body, forming a solid shield that stopped the witch's attacks.
The pressure she faced was even greater than when she fought her royal father. She was clearly stronger than this woman, yet she could barely launch any attacks!
The time she used to strike once, Yao Die could manage two or even three.
Yao Die's attack speed didn't just make up for her lack of strength; it completely overwhelmed Yan Wu!
She unleashed a nonstop flood of attacks, her fists striking like a relentless storm of black rain pouring from a thunderous sky. Before Yan Wu could catch her breath after each clash, Yao Die slammed into her again with another wave of dark power.
Bang!
A dull and muffled sound rang in the air as one of Yao Die's blows connected. Yan Wu's numb right arm was violently smashed aside by Yao Die's fist. She finally lost all feeling in that arm when her long spear was sent flying from her hand. With her other hand, she forcefully pierced Yan Wu's protective Yama domain, which was already on the verge of collapse. A large black butterfly then mercilessly exploded soon after, striking her chest.
Rumble!
An enormous sound rang out as Yan Wu's protective domain was instantly pierced with holes. She flew through the air in a heap, her back crashing heavily against her father's arms, who somehow caught her just in time. "Wu'er!" he called out.
