At that moment, Yao Long suddenly opened his mouth, releasing the bowstring, and the azure arrow shot straight past me with a whoosh, instantly piercing into the waterfall formed by the gathered blood.
As the arrow sank in, a large hole wide enough for a person opened up in the blood. Yao Long urged me, "Quick! Now's your chance!"
Hearing this, I didn't dare to hesitate. I seized the opportunity, planted my foot against the earthen wall beside me, and with all my strength, I pushed off and leaped toward the opening created by Yao Long's arrow.
In an instant, I had jumped through the gap with Yao Long on my back. The blood rain continued to pour down on my head and shoulders. The once pale ground was now stained a deep red, and in the distance, several hills made of flesh and bone rose up, with blood gushing forth from their peaks like volcanic eruptions.
"What on earth happened here? How did it come to this?!" Yao Long asked in astonishment from my back.
I looked around, unsure how to respond. I thought to myself, "It must be related to that crimson figure I saw fighting with the King of Hell before I left."
Though I pondered this, I couldn't be certain. So I replied to Yao Long, "I’m not sure either, but if we can find Sun Warrior Leader, he might know..."
After saying that, I glanced at the King of Hell in the distance, still locked in battle with some unknown foe. Seeing them engaged in a fierce struggle, I turned my attention back to finding Sun Warrior Leader while wading through the blood that had risen above my ankles.
After searching for a while, I finally spotted Sun Warrior Leader near a mound of corpses. He was sitting on the ground, leaning against a mangled body to rest.
Upon seeing us approach, he struggled to push himself up from the blood-soaked ground and asked urgently, "Where have you been?!"
Noticing his anxious tone, I turned to Yao Long behind me and said, "Wasn't I supposed to find him? What happened? What’s going on here?"
Sun Warrior Leader glanced at the distant battle involving the King of Hell and said, "It's Xinzhu. It has absorbed too many souls and has become overwhelmingly powerful. Now it intends to devour the King of Hell..."
"What?!" I exclaimed in shock as I looked toward the King of Hell in disbelief. "Are you saying that Xinzhu is fighting against the King of Hell now?!"
The Sun Warrior Leader nodded, "It was just now that it saved my life..."
Just then, a loud explosion echoed, and a wave of Blood Mist erupted from where the King of Hell was located. At the same time, I felt as if two incredibly powerful forces were colliding with each other, creating intense shockwaves.
"What do we do now?! We can't just watch as Xinzhu gradually devours everything!" I exclaimed anxiously.
Hearing this, the Sun Warrior Leader let out a bitter laugh. "Shen Xu, you're worrying for nothing. Even if Xinzhu is powerful, absorbing the King of Hell will be extremely difficult. The King of Hell's strength lies not only in power but also in his consciousness. Like the other two rulers of the Underworld, he possesses an extraordinarily strong consciousness that Xinzhu cannot control. Right now, you should be more worried about Xinzhu being consumed by the King of Hell..."
I was puzzled. "Isn't it a good thing if Xinzhu is consumed by the King of Hell? Why should we worry? If the King of Hell devours Xinzhu, wouldn't that mean Xinzhu has been broken?"
The Sun Warrior Leader explained, "Creating Onizuka is easy, but breaking it is difficult. Only those who possess the Nine Star Life Diagram can break it. If the King of Hell absorbs Xinzhu, the original balance of the Underworld will be shattered. Moreover, the King of Hell's power will surpass that of the other two rulers. At that point, no one can predict what will happen to the world..."
"Furthermore..." The Sun Warrior Leader pondered for a moment before continuing, "If the King of Hell absorbs Xinzhu, then the Nine Star Mound will never be broken, and the marks on you and me will never be lifted. I believe you wouldn't want to see such consequences."
After hearing this, I noticed Yao Long's condition had improved slightly, so I set him down from my back and supported him as I turned to the Sun Warrior Leader. "Since you know this could lead to disaster, why didn't you directly control Xinzhu back then? If I'm not mistaken, when you took Xinzhu away earlier, it referred to you as its master. Isn't it you who created Onizuka?"
The Sun Warrior Leader sighed deeply and shook his head. "I can only blame myself for not thinking things through. Setting aside Xinzhu's current state, it's about the Void Spirit within me. Strictly speaking, it wasn't 'me' who created Xinzhu but rather the Void God inside me. When I made Xinzhu recognize its master before, it was because I manifested the form of the Void God..."
"But now... I've already transformed the Void Spirit into Fiery Annihilation; it's impossible to make Xinzhu recognize its master again. Plus, at this point, Xinzhu has become too powerful; even if the Void God were still here, it wouldn't matter..."
After hearing this, I looked at the Sun Warrior Leader in front of me with gritted teeth and said angrily, "Weren't you quite clever before?! How could you be so foolish at this moment? Even if you wanted to restrain the King of Hell, there was no need to use your last resort! And now look..."
Seeing me accuse him, the Sun Warrior Leader's expression darkened as he retorted, "Have you ever fought against the King of Hell? Do you know what that feels like? Why did I have to use my last resort?! Because there was no chance of winning; we could only gamble everything! Take a good look for yourself..."
As he spoke, he pointed toward where the King of Hell was located. There stood the King of Hell with his broken arm engaged in an evenly matched battle against Xinzhu.
"Did you see that?! If it weren't for me weakening the King of Hell with Fiery Annihilation, Xinzhu would have been devoured by now!"
Seeing the Sun Warrior Leader getting a bit emotional, I tried to calm myself and reassess the current situation.
Even though I heard from the Sun Warrior Leader that there was no longer any news about the Void Spirit, I was tempted to kill him right then and there, then go back to rescue my parents and completely eliminate Yang Master. However, not knowing how to leave made me hesitant; if I acted rashly, it was very likely that Yao Long and I would have to face the King of Hell directly...
After a moment of silence, I said, "Even if what you did was not wrong, what should we do now?"
The Sun Warrior Leader replied firmly, "We need to help Xinzhu and prevent it from being swallowed by the King of Hell, then take the opportunity for you to break Onizuka."
Before I could respond, the Void Spirit inside me interjected, "Shen Xu, don't listen to him. He must be crazy. With our current state as a few battered remnants, we shouldn't even think about fighting the King of Hell. One breath from him could scatter our souls..."
At this moment, I understood the Void Spirit's words all too well, but judging by the Sun Warrior Leader's attitude, this seemed to be our only option...
