Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1224 - 642: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; Hong Yangzi, harboring ulterior motives; the death of the King of Yin Land.

Of course, even if he didn't bet correctly, he had a second backup plan.

The 'Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge,' as his Majesty Asna's painstakingly crafted supreme ultimate artifact using innumerable treasures, was meant to traverse between Yin Land and serve as the ladder back to the Yangshi World.

If used like this, even though the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge would turn to ashes after bringing him back to the Yangshi World, it would be worth it.

Yet the iron-clad reality finally proved that his Majesty Asna's foresight was indeed correct.

Including his judgment on allies.

Members of the Holy Alliance, one by one, were unreliable, each with their own agenda.

For example, Bo Xun.

In the divine thought, as the Buddha Emperor's avatar displayed the compass, a hint of coldness glinted in Asna's eyes.

With his current cultivation, he might deceive others, but he could never deceive himself, especially given his unrivaled artifact refining skill in the Cosmic Sea. How could he miss the trick?

The so-called divination skill of the Buddha Emperor's avatar was merely a smokescreen; his avatar's exposure was clearly due to betrayal, inside divine skills, outside deceit.

Someone had clearly leaked the information and sold his Majesty Asna's avatar at a good price, facilitating others' attempt to capture everything in one swoop.

Had it not been for the calculation among the Holy Alliance members reaching an unbearable level for Asna, disappointing him greatly, he wouldn't have taken such a perilous move.

These fools always believed that having four powers overseeing all cultivators in the Holy Alliance meant peace of mind; upon seeing his rapid progress in cultivation, they constantly thought of tripping him up, thinking they were playing chess.

To hell with their games!

Do they possess the same mind and methods as his Majesty Asna?

Actually dreaming of relying on the strength of Tao, Buddha, and Demon sects to weaken him.

No matter, he previously deliberately leaked the information to Bo Xun to manipulate them into his trap.

Even if his assumptions were wrong, he had maneuvered to enslave a batch of masters, plunder many resources, and gain the ability to return at the cost of the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge's collapse.

In short, his Majesty Asna has never lost.

What he desires to do, he will definitely succeed.

Such is the strength of his Majesty Asna!

Confident, powerful, and focused!

He never leaves his fate in others' hands!

Did he genuinely need Bo Xun's two avatars?

Regardless of the chaos he stirs up, his Majesty Asna will surely win in the end and clean up the mess.

Since Bo Xun, Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress, and Ghostly Master keep trying to play chess, let them face the means and divine skills of the Taoist Emperor, Demon Emperor, and Buddha Emperor!

Without his Majesty Asna, he will see what shape the Holy Alliance will take when compressed by the Tao, Buddha, and Demon sects, especially now when there's the ambiguous Yi Chengzi.

People can teach others, but understanding can only come from experience; once they've suffered enough, they will realize their arrogance and foolishness, learning how to properly treat his Majesty Asna.

The Yin Land World and Yangshi World are two distinct realms; from the time Asna descended to Yin Land to now, three days have passed; he didn't know that in the Cosmic Sea, the Holy Alliance in his mind is nearing collapse....

Perceiving the distant movement over the wilderness, Asna's mouth curved into a cold smile, and with a flicker, he vanished into the howling Yin wind.

....

....

Over the distant wilderness.

A majestic and rugged Black Stone Hall had appeared above the ground unknown since when.

A black throne slowly rose.

The majestic figure of the King of Yin Land was revealed, exposed to the heavenly light.

He lazily lounged on the throne.

One foot casually stepped on the throne's surface, both hands resting on the armrests, boredom etched in his gaze as he watched the sudden entrance of the golden Asna and Bo Xun and others.

"His Majesty Asna and Lord Bo Xun have come from afar; truly, this king regrets the lack of a proper welcome."

"You all have arrived much later than my expectations; really kept this king waiting."

The King of Yin Land's face showed a faint mocking smile, his eyes flashing cold light, a demeanor of a cat playing with a mouse.

"Since you, fellow Taoist, know we came together, why not evade?" Bo Xun's black and white avatar's expression tensed; after a startled glance at the King of Yin Land's face, he laughed lightly,

"I truly did not expect the mysterious King of Yin Land to be the brilliant Hong Yangzi of yesteryear."

"Unexpectedly, fellow Taoist not only survived but has come to Yin Land to claim kingship."

Hearing the long-lost name, a hint of nostalgia appeared on the face of the King of Yin Land.

"Hong Yangzi, it's truly been a long time since I've heard that name, I'm impressed you all still remember my former name."

"However, the name Hong Yangzi has long been scattered by the winds and rain, now I prefer others to call me—King of Yin Land."

"The past is unbearable to look back on, the eight fellow Taoists behind, stop playing the game of mantis stalking the cicada, and please all reveal yourselves."

"Today, as the group of sages gathers, it's just fitting for me to collect a wave of interest from the past from you all."

Suddenly, the King of Yin Land, who was high on his throne, had a ferocious expression emerge on his face.

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, looking into the distance.

At this moment, ominous clouds suddenly covered the wasteland, turning the entire expanse into an enormous black egg.

The King of Yin Land began to laugh maniacally, his aura becoming astonishingly intense.

Amazingly, he had barely stepped into the realm of overlooking the heavens.

The avatars of the Taoist Emperor and others watched the shocking change before them, their expressions turning to shock.

They never expected that when they thought they were playing the role of the cicada, the praying mantis would cast off all disguises and become a Bird Catcher.

Such drastic change took everyone completely by surprise.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"How could anyone in Yin Land reach the realm of overlooking the heavens, this no longer is the aura a Heavenly Monarch could possess."

"And the person behind all this is actually you, Hong Yangzi, you are still alive!"

The avatar of the Buddha Emperor immediately exclaimed in shock.

The golden Asna looked on at the scene, his expression indifferent, silently pondering, yet his eyes showed not the slightest hint of panic, but rather an expression of watching a good show.

"I said back then, I would definitely reach the realm of overlooking the heavens."

"As long as you are not dead, how could I possibly die!"

"Haha, today I'll collect a little interest first, just you wait, I will ascend step by step to the highest, testify the Other Shore, whatever you owed me in the past, I will reclaim it all with interest."

"Today as the group of sages gathers, worthy friends abound, fellow Taoists have come from afar, I invite everyone to rest for a while and listen as I elaborate on the Hell Dao Fruit."

"Hell is the Heavenly Dao, hahaha!"

The King of Yin Land suddenly stood up, spreading his arms wide, his face full of madness.

The ink-like mana around him began to surge wildly, and in an instant, on the wasteland shrouded in dark clouds, waves of terrifying evil sound came rolling in, all light abruptly vanished, and everyone present suddenly felt all of their five senses sealed, finding themselves becoming an isolated island, unable to sense the presence of others anymore.

Just as the King of Yin Land's eyes greedily gazed at the people before him, ready to proceed with his next move.

In the land of Yin, a magnificent divine bridge.

Suddenly emerged across the sky.

On the divine bridge stood many indifferent faced figures.

Purple divine light manifested, piercing the dark clouds.

The divine light then radiated throughout the deep night, dispersing the darkness.

At this moment, all the cultivators looked up.

Behold the Supreme Holy Emperor Asna, descended with great grandeur.

"You want my avatar to listen to you elaborate on the Hell Dao Fruit?"

"I, Asna, would also like to hear it, fellow Taoist, you wouldn't mind, would you?"

Looking at the King of Yin Land before him, Asna's face also showed a trace of greed.

Today, with so much fuel, his path to the Other Shore was unblocked.

The chasm became a thoroughfare!

"Fellow Taoist, you're wrong(liao)!"

"Desire is the Heavenly Dao!"

"Hell is still beneath desire, the human heart is unpredictable, desires are endless, how could a mere Hell Dao Fruit be exhaustive."

"Please, fellow Taoist, listen as I elaborate on the Desire Dao Fruit!"

At this moment, on the Heaven and Earth Divine Bridge, with Asna's cold and stern voice falling, countless figures indifferently sat down cross-legged, beginning to murmur.

The evil sounds surged, surpassing even before.
