The Earth Foundation expanded with a thunderous roar, the phantom Yellow Springs seeming real, Karmic Fire Red Lotuses filling the heavens. Scarlet splendor and pitch-black darkness collided in midair, instantly suppressing one corner of the nether mist.
Before Xi Sang's expression could change, Chu Mo opened his mouth and softly uttered, "Suppress!"
At that single word, the [Hall of Yama] at the heart of the Earth Foundation rose from the ground, spinning as it flew above Xi Sang. Boundless Nether Radiance spilled from it, pressing down to suppress him.
Xi Sang roared in fury, seeking to shatter the hall, but its structure seemed capable of preventing all laws from manifesting and all wondrous arts from functioning, leaving him unable to break it in short order.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!"
Xi Sang's expression changed drastically. He had never imagined that the combined strength of those ants in his eyes could suppress him to this extent.
Seeing what was on his mind, Chu Mo smiled inwardly. Mortals alone would naturally be useless. This was the combined effect of the "Netherworld True Law," the incense faith path,
and the Urban Legend [Ritual Incense].
That Urban Legend in particular had almost temporarily transformed into an unintelligent Origin Spirit. Rather than fighting Chu Mo, Xi Sang was more accurately confronting a Taboo.
That commotion was too great. It must have drawn the attention of other Taboos. I should leave first.
Chu Mo glanced at the vast power of wishes overhead, and his mind stirred.
Then the Fengdu Seal turned, Heaven and Earth shifted, and the Earth Foundation trembled. Together with the Underworld Officials and Ghost Enforcers within it, its buildings, mountains, and rivers, and the suppressed Xi Sang, it vanished from Eternal Night in an instant.
Only an empty stretch of level ground
