Chapter 170 I guard the world with a sword, and you said she is Ariana? !
Seeing this line of chaotic writing, Rhine was first stunned.
Houtu Goddess?
The saint in the primordial world who transformed herself into reincarnation, allowing the souls of the dead to be reborn?
In terms of level, the reincarnation Houtu Goddess embodies is the Earth Dao, equivalent to the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the Houtu Goddess can be said to be on the same level as Hongjun Ancestor.
However, Hongjun Ancestor has always consciously suppressed the Earth Dao, so the Houtu Goddess has always remained within reincarnation, never showing herself, and never participating in the calamities.
This time, he actually attracted the attention of the Houtu Goddess?
After a moment, Rhine reacted, his expression grave.
Where would any Houtu come from in this magical world?
He had already seen "Hongjun" and "Yuanshi Tianzun," so one could imagine what kind of thing could be judged as "Houtu" by the system!
This was also an evil being casting its gaze upon him!
Just how many evil beings are hidden in this small magical world?!
Immediately afterward, a dark rift, even deeper than the night sky, suddenly opened in the sky above the hall.
Rhine opened his Microscopic Heaven Eye, golden light flashing in his eyes, and could clearly see that the other side of the rift was a pale, faded world filled with mist.
This was not the platform where Harry met Dumbledore at the end of the Harry Potter series. That was a transit station between life and death, where Dumbledore stayed only to wait for Harry.
What Rhine was seeing now was the world of the dead, through and through.
He could also see shadowy souls wandering on the other side of the passage.
It seemed they had been wandering for a long time, even forgetting what they were supposed to do.
But immediately afterward, a black mist, so cold that just looking at it made one feel chilled, began to spread on the other side of the passage.
Those dazed wandering souls felt an instinctive fear of the black mist, trying to avoid it, but were swallowed by the black mist in the next second.
Immediately, specks of scarlet, frenzied light lit up on the other side of the passage, like evil spirits, eager to devour people!
Rhine frowned.
The eerie scene before him was different from the flesh and blood evil behind Godric Gryffindor, the Forbidden Forest's gray mist, and the werewolves.
An evil being targeting the soul?
As the thought flashed through his mind, the black mist on the other side of the passage actually began to spread towards the world of the living. Wisps of black mist swept towards Rhine like tentacles, with specks of scarlet light flashing and the wails of ghosts echoing.
And behind them, a continuous stream of black mist was wrapping those corrupted wandering souls, squeezing through the narrow rift!
On the system's light screen, the dim, chaotic writing trembled.
[You are a disciple of the Jade Void Sect, a disciple of a saint, and have even had contact with the Heavenly Dao, having karma with the Taoist Hongjun]
[Such a person actually dabbles in the power of judgment of the underworld. In the eyes of the Houtu Goddess, this is clearly a further suppression of the Earth Dao by the Heavenly Dao]
[Even though she resides in reincarnation and rarely emerges, how can she not be enraged by being schemed against to this extent?]
[Today is the Zhongyuan Festival, the connection between the underworld and the human world is particularly close. With one glance from the Houtu Goddess, the gate to the ghost realm is opened!]
[At this moment, ten thousand ghosts surge, and the Houtu Goddess looks on indifferently]
[You want to dabble in the underworld? Live to tell the tale first!]
A thoughtful look appeared in Rhine's eyes.
If the system's correspondences are truly based on something, and even the power struggle between the Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao by Hongjun and Houtu can be corresponded to...
Then that means that perhaps the evil beings hidden in the magical world are not monolithic either, and there are also conflicts of interest between them.
Some evil beings might even be mortal enemies.
This answered a question that had been troubling Rhine.
If there were so many of these evil beings in ancient times, and they cooperated with each other, then there would be no way for the magical world to survive.
But if there were conflicts between the evil beings, and they did not all direct their attacks towards the magical world, then this could be understood.
Then, looking at the black mist escaping from the rift, especially those wandering souls that were being twisted and corrupted within it, a strange look flashed in Rhine's eyes.
The Judge's Pen was just beginning to form, only a tip of the pen had manifested, and it was still far from completion.
The Judge of the underworld in the primordial world had judged countless souls over the years, only then refining the Judge's Pen to such power.
Rhine's demand for souls was not ordinary.
Especially those twisted, sinful souls, one soul was worth dozens of ordinary ones!
Where could he find these in the magical world?
But right now, in this rift, weren't those specks of scarlet light all good materials for nourishing the Judge's Pen?
"Is this delivering food to my door?"
Rhine chuckled, then pushed the Qingyun Zijing Crown.
In an instant, a ray of spiritual light fell, enveloping Rhine's body.
Facing the rolling black mist and the specks of scarlet, Rhine did not retreat but advanced, leaping into the air in one step, his body radiating golden light.
"The gate to the ghost realm opens? You still have to get past me!"
In the next moment, the Thirty-Sixth Grade Lotus bloomed, and a thin ray of light surged forward.
Along the way, the black mist collapsed, and those scarlet-eyed wandering souls swept up within it were also annihilated under the opening light of the Lotus Holy Path.
Specks of faint light silently surged towards the Judge's Pen.
The nascent rules of judgment in the underworld were slowly growing stronger.
Obviously, this was not what the evil being hidden behind the black mist wanted to see.
A single Lotus Holy Path Opening Light did not completely interrupt the momentum of the black mist, and even the passage expanded a bit instead.
An even more surging black mist, along with the boiling scarlet light within it, rushed madly towards Rhine, who was blocking the entrance of the passage, vowing to engulf him.
Rhine did not retreat or evade.
The joints all over his body crackled, and his figure suddenly became taller, the Three Heads and Eight Arms Divine Power was already in use.
Anyway, with the wizard's magic inexhaustible, Rhine cast the Lotus Sacred Road Opening Light without the slightest hesitation. One after another, even more powerful Lotus Sacred Road Opening Lights roared out, confronting the black mist.
At the same time, Rhine's arms also waved frantically, and rolling baleful aura surged, striking towards the black mist.
In an instant, one side of the crack was surging black mist, and the other side was blossoming lotuses. Flames exploded in the air, and the thousands of sparks had a beautiful feeling, like fireworks released on Halloween night.
But who could have imagined the danger within?
Within each firework, burning were vicious ghosts eager to devour people and black mist that drove people crazy!
Of course, during this process, more and more ghostly light was absorbed by Rhine's Judge's Pen.
The tip of the Judge's Pen, which had just begun to show, had an even denser, faint dark light.
Rhine was overjoyed.
Just this little bit of effort saved him so much hard work on the Judge's Pen!
It's just a pity that his Slaughter Sword Dao level is not high enough. It can kill living beings, but the effect on souls that are already dead is not good.
Otherwise, if he released that Slaughter Sword Light, he could probably make a bloody profit!
On the system light screen, the chaotic writing flickered.
【The Gate of Ghosts opens, and ten thousand ghosts surge. The host stands alone to block the gate, vowing to keep this group of evil ghosts out of the human world.】
【Alone with his sword, he slaughters until ghosts cry and gods howl, the sun and moon are dark. Even if he is covered in wounds, not a single ghost can cross a step!】
【Suddenly, from within the Gate of Ghosts, a huge palm stretches out, eclipsing the sun and moon, accompanied by a vast and ancient name resounding—】
【I am named Shen Tu, ordered by the Empress Houtu, to kill you!】
The latest and most complete novels are first published at *[website name]*!
Rhine raised an eyebrow.
Shen Tu?
A great god from the primordial era who served Houtu and guarded the Gate of Ghosts?
Since there is Shen Tu, then there must also be Yu Lei.
It seems that this evil's subordinates are not few.
Just then, from within the black mist, a faint ghostly weeping sound suddenly arose.
It sounded like a little girl making a terrified and helpless cry.
However, as this crying sound arose, yin winds suddenly rose both inside and outside the passage, and a sky full of blood rain fell for no reason, raising a terrifying atmosphere.
In the blood rain, a line of footprints spread towards Rhine.
The golden light around Rhine and the spiritual light sprinkled by the Auspicious Cloud Purple Gold Crown seemed to have encountered the most serious evil to date.
Countless blood rain hit the golden light and spiritual light, steaming out an evil aura.
That line of footprints was getting closer and closer to Rhine.
The little girl's ghostly crying sound became clearer and clearer, and it seemed to be mixed with angry arguing sounds.
A hint of confusion flashed in Rhine's eyes.
But now was not the time for him to think carefully.
Faced with this evil thing in the blood rain, Rhine raised his hand and injected a strand of Yuan Sea power into the Auspicious Cloud Purple Gold Crown.
In an instant, a golden auspicious cloud fell, and rolling cloud qi protected him. Rhine was like a human saint, inviolable by all laws and undefiled by all evils.
The torrential blood rain all turned into golden auspicious light.
The line of footprints in the blood rain finally revealed a blurry, cowering figure of a girl, as if frightened by the sudden appearance of the auspicious cloud.
Rhine's eyes did not fluctuate in the slightest. The power of the Yuan Sea surged, all gathered on the Soul-Extinguishing and Spirit-Breaking power from the Judge's Pen.
A faint dark light condensed and poured into the tip of the Judge's Pen, making the tip of the pen like a sword, filled with the majesty of judging ghosts and gods!
Immediately, Rhine looked majestic, like a judge of the underworld descending into this world, raising the Judge's Pen and dropping it.
With one stroke, the blood rain scattered.
With one stroke, the surging black mist retreated.
With one stroke, the evil thing let out a shrill and crazy cry, and without looking back, it burrowed into the retreating black mist and fled towards the depths of the underworld.
On the system light screen, the chaotic writing gradually fell apart.
【The host fights fiercely against Shen Tu's ghost hand, and becomes more and more in tune with the power of underworld judgment. Empress Houtu is also helpless.】
【Although the Dao of Heaven and the Dao of Earth are nominally equal, the Dao of Heaven is now in power, and Ancestor Hongjun has never relaxed his suppression of the Dao of Earth. She manifested for a moment, but ultimately retreated to the depths of reincarnation.】
【Shen Tu is unwilling, but has no choice but to retreat.】
【Even if the Gate of Ghosts opens, even if there is a tide of ten thousand ghosts, the host guards the human world with a single sword!】
A look of satisfaction appeared in Rhine's eyes.
The Judge's Pen is indeed a supreme treasure of the underworld from the primordial era. Although it does not have the protective power of the Auspicious Cloud Purple Gold Crown, it is truly unparalleled in the Dao of Souls.
For these evil things in the magical world's underworld, Rhine, wielding the Judge's Pen, is their absolute nemesis!
Perhaps in the future, he can even take the initiative to enter the underworld if he gets a chance.
Establishing the underworld and creating reincarnation, such great merit, Rhine would never want to miss it if there was even a slight possibility.
Just then, Rhine landed on the ground, and a popping sound of Apparition came from the nearby venue.
Dumbledore's figure appeared before his eyes.
Rhine was about to speak, but he saw that Dumbledore's expression was unprecedentedly anxious, even with a fear and dread that Rhine had never seen before.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Dumbledore eagerly asked Rhine.
"Where is she?"
"I felt it, she was here, she was just here."
"I seem to have heard her crying, where did she go now?"
"She is so timid, she must be hiding, Rhine, have you seen her?"
Looking at the almost crazy Dumbledore in front of him, Rhine was confused.
"Headmaster, who are you talking about?"
The next moment, Dumbledore uttered a name that was full of his memories and pain.
"My sister—Ariana!"
