Against the Gods

y something so ridiculous and absurd to us… Heeheehee, in fact, it makes me a little reluctant to suck you dry immediately.”

The words “ugly” and “repulsive” could not even begin to describe his sinister smile.
If anyone even took a glimpse of it, it would haunt their dreams for years to come.

This talking evil spirit was the boss of the Three Yama Ancestors.
The strongest among them, Yan Wanchi.

“Eight hundred and ninety thousand years?” Yun Che started smiling as well.
Compared to Yan Wanchi’s sinister smile, his smile was filled with a deep derision and pity.
“But even three crippled wild dogs can proudly live under the sun.”

“Old things who can’t even be compared to wild dogs, you actually holed up in this place for more than eight hundred thousand years? How tragic and pathetic is that.
Yet you’re actually proud of it? Hahahaha…”

He let out a low laugh as he slowly shook his head.
The pity that was evident in the curl of his lips stabbed into the Three Yama Ancestors’ eyes like a poisoned knife.
“You are the three biggest and most pathetic jokes in the history of the Northern Divine Region… Oh no, no, I mean the entire God Realm.
Three old bedbugs who were buried in this unbearably noxious place.
So where do you even find the shamelessness required to laugh wildly in my face, hmmm?”

The Three Yama Ancestors had lived for an exceedingly long time but their existences had long since become painful to themselves.
In fact, it had really become quite pitiful.
However, as the Yama Realm’s founding ancestors, level ten Divine Masters who had reached the zenith of darkness profound energy, who would dare to insult them even if they truly could be compared to a bedbug? Who would dare to insult them so!?”

As the founding ancestors of the Yama Realm, all of the Yama Emperors, past and present, had to treat them with the utmost dignity and respect.
They did not even dare do anything which would imply disrespect.

As practitioners of a negative profound energy, it would normally not be possible for them to be enraged by a few words.

Unfortunately, even the strongest spirit would become twisted after being holed up in this place for hundreds of thousands of years.

The souls of the Three Yama Ancestors had long since become incredibly warped and violent.
Furthermore, Yun Che’s insult was the most humiliating thing they had heard in years and it was aimed directly at their sore spot.
There was no doubt it agitated the twisted minds of the Three Yama Ancestors, stirring them up into a frenzy.

“Sssss….
Uwaaaaaaah!” The Three Yama Ancestors shuddered as a frightening black light radiated from their eyes.
Wails which did not even sound human ripped from their throats.

“You damn brat!” Yan Wanchi slashed the air with a clawed hand as he howled, “Aren’t you a little too eager to die!!?”

“Heh.” Yun Che’s smile grew even more derisive.
“Just a few sentences are enough to stir you into a frenzy.
Just look at your ugly appearances right now.
It looks like even comparing you to bedbugs was doing you a favor.”

“Heeaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!” The old ghost on the right—second of the Three Yama Ancestors, Yan Wanhun, could no longer hold back any longer.
His body shot out as he yelled, “I’ll rip him apart with my bare hands!”

When that small and hunched figure started to barrel through the air, his aura was so vast and boundless that it seemed to cause the clouds to move, it was so strong that it felt like it could crush mountains and flip over the seas.

The ancestral devil blood that the Yama Ancestors had inherited and the Yama Devil Art they cultivated had caused their life force and profound veins to form a strange connection with the Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness.
This was also the source of their indestructibility and their immortality.

When his power erupted, the entire Bone Sea of Eternal Darkness started to shake and it was accompanied by what sounded like the wailing of countless restless ghosts and evil spirits.

Yun Che did not even move an inch even as Yan Wanhun was rushing toward him.
However, a blood-colored profound energy suddenly erupted from his body.

He had opened the Hell Monarch gate!

The Heretic God’s Darkness Seed, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor’s Eternal Calamity of Darkness… He did not need to make a single movement or thought.
The incomparably dense darkness profound energy surrounding them was naturally attracted to him and it crazily surged toward his body at every instant.

As long as he was in this place, he could maintain Hell Monarch indefinitely!

No matter how crazily he used up his power, it still could not match the crazy speed at which it was being replenished.

The blood-colored energy storm which suddenly erupted from Yun Che’s body shocked the Three Yama Ancestors.
Yan Wanhun’s body seemed to pause for an instant but Yun Che had now taken the opportunity to lunge at him, his fist aiming for Yan Wanhun’s head.

Bang!

Yan Wanhun had clearly attacked first, but he had ended up taking a punch from Yun Che because of that moment of hesitation.

Power that far exceeded his expectations rocked his body back, but he immediately let out a hoarse yell of rage.
Dark explosions rocked the air in front of him, causing space to violently sink in.

The power of a Yama Ancestor was extremely terrifying.
A muffled groan leaked from Yun Che’s lips as he was instantly hurt by Yan Wanhun’s wild attacks.
An arrow of blood shot from his mouth as he tumbled through the air but Yan Wanhun was already rushing toward him like a ghostly shadow.
He moved so fast that he left sonic booms trailing in his wake.
As he darted toward Yun Che, he swiped out a clawed hand.

Riiiiip!

Three huge black scars of energy that seemed to stretch on forever rent the air.
This terrifying attack seemed to have torn the entire world into four different pieces.

Pfffft!

Three deep grooves were carved into Yun Che’s body, causing bloody mist to explode out of it.

Bang!

Yun Che’s body smashed against the ground… But it did not split into four pieces like the Three Yama Ancestors thought it would.
Instead, he immediately bounced back to his feet the moment he fell to the ground.

“Hssss!?” Yan Wanhun froze in midair, his widened ancient eyes could scarcely believe what they were seeing.

In the next instant, his deep gray pupils went completely wide.

When Yun Che stood up, the three bloody grooves on his body were so deep that they could see the bones that lay underneath.
One of those wounds stretched all the way from his left eyebrow to the right side of his chest, it nearly reached the length of two meters.

This was the rending power of a Yama Ancestor! However, Yun Che had not been ripped apart.
In fact, he still wore that cold smile on his face… While still smiling, he slowly stretched out a hand and gently wiped off a smear of blood from his face.

The darkness was howling and it was as if an infinite number of storms were gathering around Yun Che.

Within that bizarre storm, the frightening bloody grooves that had been torn into his body started to close up and heal at a frighteningly fast rate…

One breath passed… then two… and those originally garish and shocking grooves had become shallow wounds with a few traces of blood around them.

Three breaths passed… and the last bit of blood on his body had vanished as well.

Whether it was an external or internal injury… he had completely recovered from it.

Not even the tiniest scar remained.
