I subdue demons and monsters, and cultivate immortality in hell to become a saint.

"I am a righteous god of the underworld, wielding the power of life and death, impervious to all laws and unassailable by any evil!"

Lightning surged around Zhong Jiu, and taking advantage of the gap in the ink tearing through the ghost domain, his figure shot out like an arrow, his eyes like torches, pointing directly at the Thousand-Eyed Demon's true form!

Since his debut, the Thousand-Eyed Demon has always used the Thousand-Eyed Ghost Domain as his trump card, which has never failed. Whether it is a cultivator or a demon of the same level, as long as they are drawn into the Ghost Domain, they will all be devoured by him.

He never expected that Zhong Jiu could break through his ghost domain so easily. For a moment, he was stunned and his guard was relaxed.

"The Fallen Bell rings!"

As Zhong Jiu's palm surged, an ancient bronze bell appeared out of thin air. The bell was surrounded by crimson lightning, and its buzzing sound pierced through heaven and earth. It was not a deafening roar, but it was like a heavy hammer striking one's soul.

Now that he is a judge of the True God Realm, he is no longer comparable to the City God of the past. The power of the Fallen Bell in his hands has increased tenfold. Not to mention ordinary evil spirits, even ghost kings like the Thousand-Eyed Demon Ghost would be disturbed and lose their minds!

As expected, the Thousand-Eyed Demon's body suddenly stiffened, the surging ghostly energy around him instantly stagnated, and all one thousand eyes around him were simultaneously shrouded in a layer of confusion, with their pupils dilating. Even the aura of his natal ghostly domain weakened by more than half.

He was frozen in place by the sound of the bell, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.

"Chimu, you idiot! What are you spacing out for!"

The Giant Evil Demon King, who had been watching the show with his arms crossed, waiting for the Thousand-Eyed Demon and Zhong Jiu to be defeated, was now so frightened that his soul fire was pounding wildly and his heart was shattered.

In the blink of an eye, the Thousand-Eyed Demon's soul fluctuations weakened to the point of almost dissipating. If no action is taken soon, this guy will be annihilated!

Without further hesitation, he roared and his body swelled up. With a wave of his bone claws, he unleashed three thousand evil bone blades, their blades coated with dark demonic power. They rained down on Zhong Jiu, forcing him to withdraw his hand to block the fatal blow.

"Cough... What just happened? I completely lost consciousness!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon suddenly came to its senses, its soul nearly collapsing from the shock. Cold sweat (the icy mist condensed from its demonic body) slid down its cheeks, and its eyes were filled with lingering fear as it looked at Zhong Jiu.

The judge's methods were too bizarre; he could directly imprison his soul, making him stand there like a fool and take the beating, unable to even muster the thought of resistance.

"That scoundrel's methods are extremely cunning; we can't confront him head-on!"

The giant evil demon king shrank back, his eyes practically brimming with wariness.

The sound of the bell just now made even him tremble with fear, and he dared not face Zhong Jiu alone again, for fear that he would also end up being at the mercy of others.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon was now like a frightened bird, its courage shattered by Zhong Jiu's words. It hurriedly nodded, "Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just give up like this, can we?"

"I wouldn't say I'm admitting defeat."

The Demon King's eyes (filled with ghostly green flames) darted around, and a plan formed in his mind. "We have a million ghost soldiers and three hundred thousand demon warriors under our command, all of them highly trained suicide troops. Once they swarm in, even a true god would be worn down!"

He patted the skull's chest and said, "We'll stay behind and bring up the rear, let these bastards lead the charge, and overwhelm him with numbers!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon King had long since lost his composure. As long as he wasn't the one to go first, he would obey whatever the Giant Evil Demon King said. He immediately roared, "Send the order down! All troops, advance! Attack!"

"Children, charge forward and tear these hellish bastards to shreds!"

The Giant Evil Demon King also shouted, but quietly took half a step back, pushing the Thousand-Eyed Demon to the front.

The 1.3 million-strong allied army of demons and ghosts responded to the call and surged out from the banks of the Mengjiang River, rushing towards the Yin Si army like a black tide. The howls and cries of demons and ghosts shook the earth, and the evil aura covered the sky and the sun.

The special operations team members, suspended in mid-air in the distance, stared wide-eyed, holding their breath and not daring to even breathe loudly.

"My God! A battle of this scale is probably a once-in-a-century event!"

"The Underworld only has 400,000 soul soldiers and a few hundred Xuanjia soldiers, more than three times the number. Can they hold out?"

"It's a pity we're not strong enough, otherwise we really wanted to rush in and lend a hand. We can't just watch the Underworld lose, or Nanling Province will be completely finished!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, their voices filled with anxiety.

Zhong Jiu looked at the Thousand-Eyed Demon who had been rescued, a hint of regret on his lips.

I almost killed the Ghost King just now. If I had succeeded, the million-strong ghost army would have been leaderless, and we could have won the battle without a fight.

He glanced at the charging coalition forces, his eyes sharp as knives.

This group of demons was indeed different from the usual rabble. Their marching and formations were quite orderly, and they were adept at both offense and defense when advancing and retreating, clearly indicating that they had been trained for some time.

"Hmph, all show and no substance."

The head of the Ministry of War stood beside Zhong Jiu, his tone full of disdain, "Although they have been training, the time has been too short. They haven't even gotten close to being elite troops. In front of my Xuanjia Army, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs!"

Having been in charge of the underworld's military affairs for many years, he saw through the allied forces' weaknesses at a glance. Although they appeared to be formidable, their formation was actually loose, and once their formation was disrupted, they would surely be defeated.

"But the Xuanjia Army only has seven hundred men, while the enemy has a million."

Zhong Jiu's gaze swept over the 400,000 soul soldiers below. He saw that these guys had bloodshot eyes and were filled with resentment. They were clearly unable to suppress their bloodlust and were just one command away from charging out.

These soul soldiers had accumulated resentment for countless years and had long wanted to find a place to vent it. If it weren't for him suppressing them, they would probably have lost control long ago.

"Rest assured, my lord, I already have a plan."

The Director of the Ministry of War bowed and said, "Let the Xuanjia Army attack their left flank, and the Prefectural Guards attack their right flank. First, disrupt their formation, then let the 400,000 Soul Soldiers charge with all their might. This battle will surely be a great victory!"

"Granted."

Zhong Jiu spoke succinctly and immediately gave the order: "The Xuanjia Army and the Prefectural Guards will attack first; the Soul Soldiers shall stand by!"

The seven hundred Xuanjia soldiers moved in response, their armor plates clanging crisply and piercingly, their bodies crackling with lightning, like a sharp dagger piercing the left flank of the allied forces; the guards were not to be outdone, wielding their Netherworld longswords and charging fiercely toward the right flank.

Although the 400,000 soul soldiers were filled with impatience, they were forced to suppress it by Zhong Jiu's orders. If it had been any other subordinate officer, these unruly fellows would probably have rebelled long ago.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the left and right wings of the demon-ghost alliance were torn open, their formation instantly collapsed into chaos.

"All troops, attack! Kill!"

With a command from Zhong Jiu, his voice, imbued with the pressure of a true god, resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The 400,000 soul soldiers charged out like tigers breaking free of their shackles, instantly losing their reason. Resentment completely dominated their thoughts, and only bloodlust and destruction remained in their eyes.

The moment they clashed with the allied forces, they swept away nearly 100,000 demons with overwhelming force. Their methods were extremely cruel, with each strike—slashing, tearing, and biting—being fatal, accompanied by bursts of wild, gleeful laughter. The sight sent chills down the spines of the special operations team members behind them.

"How could this be? These underworld soldiers are even more ferocious than the vengeful ghosts under my command!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon was horrified, watching his subordinates fall one after another like wheat being harvested, his heart aching with pain.

The eerie green flames in the giant demon king's eye sockets flickered, and his unease grew stronger.

Their numerical advantage not only failed to materialize, but they were also being overwhelmed by the opponent. If this continued, they would not only fail to wear down Chung Kau, but they would also lose all their assets!

Even more deadly was that all the underworld officials also joined the fight, each one incredibly powerful, clearing a vacuum zone with every swing of their blades.

Especially Zhong Jiu, who unleashed twelve Heavenly Blazing Flame Banners, and the raging Netherworld Flames swept across the entire field, turning demons and ghosts into ashes wherever they passed, leaving not even bones behind!

"We can't waste any more time! Let's both charge in and stop that scoundrel!"

The Great Demon King gritted his teeth and said, "If Zhong Jiu continues to kill, the allied forces will completely collapse."

"Watch out for his broken bell!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon was still shaken, the feeling of being imprisoned last time still lingering in his soul. But he knew that he could only fight desperately now. Immediately, his ghostly aura surged and he rushed towards Zhong Jiu together with the Giant Evil Demon King.

"Oh? You finally dared to go yourself?"

Zhong Jiu was not afraid at all. Instead, he took the initiative to meet him. His judge's pen moved swiftly, and one after another, large characters carrying the will of heaven and earth appeared out of thin air.

Die! Slay! Annihilate! Destroy! Kill!

The five large characters, like Mount Tai pressing down, wrapped in lightning and flames, shot towards the two kings.

Every word contained the power of the underworld's judgment, pressing down on the two kings until they could hardly breathe.

"This judge's pen is absolutely insane!"

The two kings grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Zhong Jiu's strength far exceeded their expectations, with each move carrying an overwhelming pressure. In particular, the Thousand-Eyed Demon was severely weakened by Zhong Jiu's Judge's aura, unable to unleash even 30% of its power.

"Let's fight! Today, we'll either kill him or die together!"

The Thousand-Eyed Demon roared as it burned part of its divine soul, causing its ghostly aura to surge several times over.

"A fight to the death!"

The Giant Evil Demon King also gritted his teeth and burned his demonic power, making the black patterns on his bone claws even more vivid.
