Chapter 346 The Myth of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom is Broken!
Sun Wukong didn't understand.
But he didn't ask any more questions.
Yuanshi Tianzun walked over, stood next to Su Fan, and looked at the sky.
"Izanami has run away. But she will come back. Next time she comes back, she won't give us time to prepare. She will call directly."
Su Fan stood up.
"Then don't let her come back."
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him.
"Are you going to the Land of the Dead?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. If she goes to the underworld, I'll go to the underworld. If she's in the underworld, I'll beat her. If she runs, I'll chase her. I'll chase her until she can't run anymore."
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a moment.
"The Land of the Dead is the territory of the mythical Cherry Blossom Kingdom. If you go there, your cultivation will be suppressed. Your protective path will be reduced to one-tenth of its original strength there."
Su Fan said, "I know. But I have Pangu's heart. If I can't defeat him in the Underworld, I'll swallow Pangu's heart. Once I swallow the heart, I will be Pangu. Pangu won't be suppressed in the Underworld. Because Pangu's Dao is the Dao of all myths. Pangu created heaven and earth, splitting open the source of all myths."
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him.
Are you sure?
Su Fan nodded.
"Sure."
He turned around and looked at the 10,050 people.
Everyone was looking at him, but no one spoke.
He walked to the city wall and took out a cross-dimensional teleportation talisman from his pocket.
I bought it last time, but I didn't finish using it.
The talisman was golden and had runes drawn on it.
He crushed the talisman, and it exploded, turning into a golden light.
Light enveloped his body, and with a flash of golden light, he vanished from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was standing in a wilderness.
The sky was gray, and the ground was black.
There was no grass, no trees, no water, nothing at all.
There is a mountain in the distance; it is not large, but it is very steep.
The mountain was covered in cracks, from which yellow light emanated.
There is a cave at the foot of the mountain. The entrance is small, just big enough for one person to crawl into.
Huangquan Kingdom.
Su Fan walked towards that mountain.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, a guard stood at the entrance of the cave.
The guard has a human body, a pig's head, and holds a fork.
The fork was made of iron, and a human head was hanging from the tip of the fork.
The head was still alive; its eyes were blinking and its mouth was moving, but it couldn't make a sound.
When the guard saw Su Fan, a glint of light flashed in his pig eyes.
"A living person? Daring to trespass into the Land of the Dead?"
Su Fan didn't speak.
He punched the guard in the face.
The fist was enveloped in the principles of protection, and golden light exploded out.
The guard was sent flying backward and crashed into the mountainside, leaving a large, human-shaped crater.
He fell into the pit, lay on the ground, and didn't move.
The pig's head was tilted to one side, its eyes were closed, and blood was flowing from its mouth.
Su Fan stepped over him and entered the cave.
The cave is deep and extends downwards.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the cave suddenly widened, revealing a huge space.
The space was full of people, not living people, but dead people.
Their bodies were translucent, bluish-gray, and you could see the bones inside.
Their eyes were green, without pupils, and stared straight at Su Fan.
Su Fan walked past them.
The dead made way for him not voluntarily, but their strength pushed them aside.
He walked to the end of the space, where there was a door.
The door was black, with a single word engraved on it—"Yellow Springs".
He pushed open the door and went inside.
There is a river behind the door.
The river water was yellow, as yellow as muddy soup.
There is a bridge over the river. The bridge is made of stone and is very narrow, only wide enough for one person to walk across.
An old woman was standing at the bridgehead.
The old woman was hunched over, her hair was completely white, and her face was covered in wrinkles.
She was wearing a gray cloth dress and holding a bowl of soup in her hand.
The soup was black and steaming.
Meng Po.
No, it's Meng Po from the mythology of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.
She's not called Meng Po, she's called the Old Mother of the Underworld.
But the task remains the same: to give people soup and make them forget their past lives.
The Old Mother of the Underworld looked at Su Fan, her green eyes expressionless.
"Drink the soup."
Su Fan shook his head.
"I won't drink it."
The Old Mother of the Underworld pushed the bowl forward, and the black soup inside spilled out, transforming into a black snake in the air that lunged at Su Fan.
Su Fan reached out and grabbed the black snake.
The snake wriggled in his hand and bit his palm.
The fangs pierced his skin, and the venom was injected into his blood vessels.
His hands were turning black, but the blackness only reached his wrists and then stopped.
His body contains the divine essence of Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, whose blood is full of poison.
The black snake venom came into contact with Typhon's blood and was swallowed.
The blackness receded, from the wrist to the palm, from the palm to the fingers, and from the fingers to the snake's fangs.
The venom in the snake's fangs was forced out, and the snake's body began to shrink, from a foot long to half a foot long, from half a foot long to an inch long, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.
The Yellow Springs Mother stared at Su Fan, her green eyes filled with shock.
"You...you swallowed Typhon's divine essence?"
Su Fan didn't speak.
He walked past the Yellow Springs Mother and crossed the bridge.
At the other end of the bridge is another gate, on which are engraved two words—"Yellow Springs".
He pushed open the door and went inside.
Behind the door is a city.
The city was very large, with black walls, and two guards stood at the city gate.
The guard has a human body, a dog's head, and holds a knife.
The knife was made of iron, and human skin was attached to the blade.
The human skin was still dripping blood, drop by drop, onto the ground, burning small holes in it.
Su Fan walked to the city gate, and two guards rushed up at the same time.
He punched them one by one, sending the two guards flying backward and crashing into the city wall, leaving two large, human-shaped craters.
He walked through the middle of the pit and entered the city.
There is one street inside the city.
The street is wide, with shops on both sides.
The shop doesn't sell things; it sells people.
There are living people, dead people, and people who are half-dead.
They were hung on racks, like pork being sold.
Some people are still struggling, while others have stopped moving.
Su Fan walked down that street to its end.
At the end was a grand hall.
The palace gate is black, with three characters engraved on it: "Huangquan Palace" (Palace of the Underworld).
He pushed open the door and went inside.
The hall was very large, so large that the boundaries could not be seen.
In the center of the main hall was a black chair, and a person was sitting on it.
The man was wearing a long black robe and a crown made of bone, covered with runes.
Her face was very white, as white as snow.
Her eyes were red, with vertical pupils, like a snake's eyes.
Izanami.
She looked at Su Fan, her red eyes filled with hatred.
"You've chased me all the way to my netherworld."
Su Fan said, "Yes."
Izanami stood up from her chair.
She didn't have a knife; it was broken.
But she has something else.
She opened her mouth and spat out a bead.
The bead is black, about the size of a fist, and has red veins on its surface.
The bead spins in the air, growing larger with each rotation.
From the size of a fist to the size of a watermelon, from the size of a watermelon to the size of a water tank, from the size of a water tank to the size of a house.
Yellow Spring Pearl.
The most precious treasure of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom's mythology, the origin of the Underworld Kingdom.
As long as the bead exists, the Land of the Dead will remain.
When the bead breaks, the Underworld will also break.
Izanami looked at Su Fan.
"I will kill you with the Yellow Spring Pearl. The Yellow Spring Pearl contains the full power of the Yellow Spring Kingdom. In the Yellow Spring Kingdom, my power is three times greater than usual."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He took Pangu's heart out of his bosom.
The blue stone shone in his palm, illuminating the entire hall.
He raised the stone and aimed it at the Yellow Spring Pearl.
Izanami stared at the stone, her red eyes filled with terror.
"That's... Pangu's heart?"
Su Fan said, "Yes."
Izanami took a step back.
"If you swallow Pangu's heart, you will become Pangu. Pangu created the world, and his power could shatter the Yellow Spring Pearl."
Su Fan stuffed the stone back into his arms.
"I won't swallow it."
Izanami paused for a moment.
"Aren't you going to swallow it?"
Su Fan said, "I won't swallow it. If I swallow it, I won't be myself anymore. Even if I don't swallow it, I can still shatter your Yellow Spring Pearl."
He infused his right fist with the principles of protection.
The fist was covered in golden light, within which were black lines.
Typhon's power was poured into it.
He punched the Yellow Spring Pearl.
The fist and the bead collided—BOOM!
The Yellow Spring Pearl shattered.
Fragments scattered everywhere, some falling to the ground, some flying into the sky, and some hitting the wall.
With each piece of debris that hit the ground, a crack appeared in the earth.
The cracks multiplied and became increasingly dense, and the entire city began to collapse.
Izanami stared at the shattered Yomi no Jutsu, her red eyes losing their light.
Her body began to shatter, starting from her feet, turning into black specks of light bit by bit.
The specks of light drifted in the air, like black snow.
"You...you shattered my Yellow Spring Pearl...the Yellow Spring Kingdom...is about to collapse..."
Her body was completely shattered.
The black light dissipated, leaving nothing behind in the hall.
Su Fan stood there, the skin on his right fist completely torn, revealing the bone underneath.
Three of my five fingers are broken, and the remaining two are trembling.
But he was still standing.
He turned and walked out of the hall.
The city is collapsing, the streets are collapsing, the houses are collapsing.
The "people" hanging there fell off the shelf; some ran away, while others were crushed to death by stones.
He walked to the city gate, where the two dog-headed guards were still lying in the pit, not dead, but unable to move.
He walked through them and left the city.
The bridge is collapsing, the river is drying up, and the mountain is crumbling.
He started running, running across the bridge, running through the cave, and running out of the mountain.
The mountain collapsed behind him, sending rocks flying and dust billowing everywhere.
He ran out of the Land of the Dead and stood in the wilderness.
The sky was still gray, and the ground was still black.
But the Land of the Dead is gone.
He took out the teleportation talisman given to him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
The talisman was blue, with a single character engraved on it—Yuan.
He crushed the talisman, which exploded and transformed into a beam of blue light that enveloped his body.
With a flash of blue light, he disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he was standing on the city wall of Nantianmen.
There are 10,050 people here.
Yuanshi Tianzun stood at the very front, looking at him.
"It's broken?"
Su Fan nodded.
"It's broken."
The Primordial Celestial Venerable said, "Izanami is dead. The Land of the Dead has collapsed. The source of the myth of the Land of Cherry Blossoms has been severed."
Su Fan didn't speak.
He walked to the city wall, sat down, and looked down at his right hand.
The skin on his right fist was gone, exposing the bone, and blood was dripping down.
He reached into his robes with his left hand and pulled out a golden disc.
The disc shone in his palm, and the light shone on his right hand.
The wound is healing, and granulation tissue is growing from the side of the bone, gradually covering it.
Sun Wukong squatted down next to him and looked at him.
"Kid, your hand..."
Su Fan said, "It's okay. It'll be fine in a few days."
He tucked the disc back into his arms, stood up, and looked at the sky.
The sky was blue, a very clean blue.
But he knew that beneath that blue light, there were countless other eyes.
Odin's one eye, Zeus's thunderbolt eye, and other mythological gods.
They are watching him.
