If the Caster carrying out the ritual has a higher ranking, the effect of the ritual is naturally more powerful, and there might not even be a need to satisfy specific time constraints, such as one or seven days.

However, for most people, this is of little use, as ranking often represents realm; if a Caster already possesses a high rank, their realm is extraordinary, so why would they need to resort to Curse-killing techniques to secretly eliminate an enemy?

This is true for most, but Shen Yuan is clearly an exception.

Though the incomplete Fengdu Emperor’s incorporeal persona can only be maintained within Fengdu City and its foundation is so weak that not even one Yama could suppress it, it is after all recognized by the Divinity Path Original Will as a Divinity Path Emperor.

Shen Yuan manifested the form of the Fengdu Emperor and performed a ritual of obeisance to the Samsara King’s strawman.

Under the pressure of the ranking, a single obeisance nearly caused the Samsara King to face an immense terror of life and death; his True Spirit, now sinking into Turmoil, made him lose his usual composure and fall into panic.

With a smile on his lips, Shen Yuan ignored the Samsara King, who had fallen into a furious rage outside, and bowed once again in the direction of the strawman.

Dressed in black-golden imperial robes and donning a 24 Celestial Bead Crown, the Emperor bowed once more. Accompanied by a gentle breeze, the two lamps above and below the strawman nearly went out, leaving only a faint flicker of light at the spot where the wicks were.

Inside the Void Channel, the Samsara King’s expression underwent another drastic change, and a mounting fear rose from the depths of his heart.

Deep within his Spirit Soul, the light symbolizing his True Spirit’s origin began to dim rapidly.

Plunging into a moment of confusion, the Samsara King steadied his mind only to feel that his vision was now obscured by a thin layer of gray-white mist.

The heavenly and earthly rules, the laws of the Major Path that once appeared before his eyes, all plummeted into oblivious and ignorant Turmoil.

“How is this possible? How can this be?”

The Samsara King felt his control over the Major Path starting to falter.

For cultivators below the Tao Harmony Stage, such a situation could still fall within the realm of acceptability as they cannot make use of the rules of the Major Path without having reached the Tao Harmony Stage.

But as a Major Heavenly Immortal, whose cultivation was suppressed, the Samsara King’s ability to fulfill his role as a suppressor of the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities was largely due to his control over the Major Path and the use of Divine Skills, far exceeding his own realm.

If not for the suppression on the Major Path level, even if the Samsara King were stronger, he would only be at the Void Refining True Monarch Stage and would not be able to exert such great pressure on the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities.

The first to note the Samsara King’s trouble with maintaining his control over the Major Path were the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities themselves.

Bull Head, Black and White Impermanence, Leopard Tail—four of them roared continuously. The Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities’ pantheon seats resonated with the Netherworld’s authority, struggling with all their might against the Samsara King’s hand that suppressed half of Fengdu City.

The Ghost City of dark Hell collided within the cage of heaven and earth formed by his palm lines, the Reincarnation Register and After Death Brush contended with the aspects of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Hell water monster held its ground against the immeasurable world within his palm.

Under the ferocious resistance, the Samsara King’s massive hand was indeed shaken slightly.

Awaking from the unknown fear because of the bewilderment of his True Spirit, the Samsara King’s eyes blazed with anger as he gazed upon the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities, his voice of fury echoing through the heavens.

“Insects, you are courting death!”

The massive body that had been stalled in the Void Channel began moving towards Fengdu City again, and even the Void Channel could barely support his formidable body, starting to collapse extensively.

Fractured space lacerated the Samsara King’s body, yet, it failed to leave even the slightest mark. As the right half of his body descended into Fengdu City, a palm carrying the path of annihilation pressed down once more upon the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities.

“BOOM!”

The entire Yin World shook beneath his palm, with infinite mighty force entirely focused upon the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities.

Their godly bodies were smashed into pieces, yet the shattered authority echoed with the will of the entire Fengdu City, allowing their godly bodies to condense once again within Fengdu City.

Having merged with the rules of the Netherworld and residing within Fengdu City, the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities were almost immortal as long as Fengdu City remained unbroken.

Yet at this moment, the Samsara King disregarded all of this, his bewildered True Spirit empowering him to only use all his might to slay the threat before him. The tremendous power that shook heaven and earth kept falling into Fengdu City, shattering the Mount Luofeng 6 Hell Deities continuously, trapped in a cycle of life and death.

“No, this isn’t right!”

Qinguang King, who had been coldly observing, was suddenly alarmed, for the bizarre state of the Samsara King had begun to make him feel a threat beyond his control.

Concentrating the will of his Spirit Soul, Qinguang King sent a thunderous rebuke towards the muddled Samsara King:

“They are not the source of the anomaly. It must have been the covert actions of the Fengdu Emperor.

If we kill the Fengdu Emperor, we will surely resolve the issue.”

In saying this, Qinguang King did not place all his hopes on the Samsara King. At this moment, he, along with the other three Yamas, chose to take action.

“`

Hell Ghost Claw, Light of Questioning Guilt, Hell Rebellion… Various Divine Arts evolved from the hands of the four Yamas and fell upon the black-gold Emperor’s Carriage.

At that moment, a Mount Tai Phantom quietly spread from the interior of the Emperor’s Carriage towards the outside world, the ancient divine mountain pressing down on both realms of Yin and Yang, easily resisting the Divine Arts that were already greatly weakened below the Divinity Path ranking.

Within the Emperor’s Carriage, Shen Yuan’s gaze revealed an understanding as he glanced at the Mount Tai King’s Throne behind him.

As a treasure capable of connecting to the fortunes of the Divinity Path, this Mount Tai King’s Throne was not of a high grade, but it was extremely special in its own right.

Using the Mount Tai King’s Throne as the foundation to draw upon Mount Tai’s protection, Shen Yuan could, for a short while, withstand the four Yamas who had endured many reductions in power.

The Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power, as a Curse-killing technique, also involved the Way of Cause and Effect, inflicting a price for its execution.

The Curse Killing Path harms others as well as oneself, and in the process of casting, there will inevitably arise various accidents to obstruct the deployment of the curse.

Either the target of the spell senses the danger and traces the curse back to disrupt the curse-killing ritual, or due to the connection of cause and effect, someone else comes to stop it.

The spirit souls of the four Yamas, including Qinguang King before him, were trials that had to be faced during the casting process.

This was also the most crucial third step of the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power.

If the third step was successfully overcome, one could overcome strength with weakness and curse-kill the enemy. If it failed, one would inevitably suffer a fierce backlash, and even death or the end of one’s cultivation path were not impossible.

The longer the process dragged on, the more likely it was to trigger a counterattack from the target. For example, the twenty-one-day duration to curse-kill someone from the Highest Heaven Realm would be enough for the Higher Heavens to trace the origin and slay the caster countless times.

It was precisely because the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power bore its own price that it possessed the ability to curse-kill, flouting the rules of the Major Path.

And Shen Yuan, who had long known the key, therefore used the defense of the Mount Tai King’s Throne as a backup to buy time.

Without breaking through the Emperor’s Carriage, Qinguang King’s heart was sounding the alarm, and he paid no heed to the depletion of his own spirit, manifesting his spirit soul’s voice to warn the Samsara King once more:

“Kill Fengdu! Kill Fengdu!”

Seeing this, the other three Yamas also immediately followed Qinguang King in emitting the voice of their spirit souls.

“Kill Fengdu!”

“Kill the Fengdu Emperor!”

Amidst the calling voices, the Samsara King finally turned his turbulent eyes towards the direction of the Emperor’s Carriage.

That giant hand that covered a great part of Fengdu City lifted once more, instinctively falling heavily towards the Emperor’s Carriage.

“Too bad, it’s too late!”

Accompanied by a voice of cold indifference, Shen Yuan, who had manifested a complete Fengdu Emperor’s incorporeal persona, bowed to the Samsara King’s strawman figure for the third time.

A figure of a Divinity Path Emperor appeared above Fengdu City, clad in a black-gold Emperor’s robe, his demeanor imposing as he bowed toward the collapsing Void Channel in front of him.

Above and below the strawman, two lamps were completely extinguished.

The Samsara King’s vast aura suddenly stiffened, as his previously obscured True Spirit was now thoroughly dimmed at this very moment, and the giant hand pressing down on the Emperor’s Carriage could not even maintain itself.

As a Major Heavenly Immortal, the Samsara King could sustain himself for seven days under the Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman Divine Power if he remained at his peak state in the Netherworld.

However, to cross into this world, the Samsara King voluntarily suppressed his cultivation level with the Karmic Mirror, barely maintaining the Void Refining Stage.

The 36th Great Divine Power of the Heavenly Generals, regards neither the body nor the rank, only the realm to slay the enemy.

Three bows in a day, and all below the Immortal Realm shall fall; this is the original manifestation of the Curse Killing Path!

In the void, an arrow shimmering with a cold gleam solidified in front of the Emperor’s ethereal figure from the third bow.

With no place to hide, no place to escape, this arrow carried the Samsara King’s own cause and effect, appearing in this world to obliterate the True Spirit. The moment it revealed itself, everything had already been determined.

This arrow disregarded the Divine Skills of the several Yamas obstructing its path and disregarded the Netherworld Treasure Karma Mirror in front of the Samsara King. Tracing the trajectory of cause and effect, it pierced the Samsara King’s forehead.

The dim True Spirit, under this Arrows Piercing Voodoo Strawman, was extinguished.

The Samsara King, fallen!
