Drawing His Sword with a Laugh, Liuyun Slashed Ninigi-no-Mikoto

Since Otsutsuki Yuchen had been replaced by Kushina, the position of the Hell Path had been left vacant. Not long after Liuyun slew a descendant of a deity at the initial stage of the True God Realm, he refined him into a Hell Path puppet to fill Otsutsuki Yuchen's vacancy.
