High School of Demon Hunting

Chapter 1762: Chapter 506 Tai Yi

Silver Serpent World.

In the Long River.

Small boat.

In front of the chessboard.

Two elderly people face each other and play chess.

The nodes of intersecting lines are almost entirely occupied by black and white pieces. The white pieces have a significant advantage, while the black pieces repeatedly take risky moves, trying to overturn the game, but ultimately powerless before the solid play of the white pieces.

”Why choose Black Prison?”

Seeing that his opponent was already at a dead end, Elder Ruoyu finally asked the question that had puzzled him from the start:

”What is Black Prison?”

The President of the Dark Council, with drooping eyelids, pondered the position for the next move and seemed unwilling to concede defeat. After asking a question, he proceeded to speak, not waiting for a reply:

”A tremendously built, vast, ancient prison that doesn’t look like a prison, has welcomed a group of wizards who put a lot of effort into pretending to be evil but aren’t actually evil.”

”You ask why we chose Black Prison? Why we are here... perhaps only the heavens know.”

He tilted his head, as if contemplating the final moves, or perhaps listening to the echoes of the ’Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang’ sound resounding on the Black Prison battlefield outside of the Silver Serpent World.

”Resign,” Elder Ruoyu looked at the hesitant expression on the elder wizard’s face and advised: ”This isn’t your fault... With the school and alliance over there, I will find a way to mediate.”

The President of the Dark Council steadied his spirit, looked at the Vice President of the First University, and sneered.

”Even if I resign, what’s the use?” He had a strange expression, seeming to laugh and be angry at the same time: ”Even being stuck with you on this damned river, resigning won’t change anything for me!”

During their conversation.

Outside the Silver Serpent World.

The situation in the Black Prison battlefield changed again.

Under the pressure of the Primordial Qi falling from the sky and the loud sound of ancient bells, the members of the Dark Council finally abandoned their last bit of delusion and decided to prematurely unleash their forbidden curses to break the wizards’ great array of heaven and earth.

The Bone Relic in Giant Zero Three’s forehead emitted ten thousand rays of light.

He raised his hand to adjust his skull, composed his spirit, and then stepped forward, walking seven steps in a very orderly manner.

At the first step, a longsword appeared at his waist, with a hilt inlaid with jade and a sword tassel tied with silken threads; at the second step, a semi-circle jade pendant hung on his belt, the jade singing with the sound of bells, its clear tones echoing; at the third step, a fragrant patch of grass appeared beneath his feet; at the fourth step, the void around him undulated with beautiful flowers like fiery red jade; at the fifth step, the sound of thunder rang between heaven and earth, as if a mighty warrior was beating drums, followed by music from wind instruments and the mingling of zither and lute, as if countless Holy Spirits surrounded him, singing praises; at the sixth step, he donned a splendid garment woven from blue clouds and white rainbows, adorned with a crown having tassels like stars and peaks as the diadem; at the seventh step, he had already arrived at the center of the heaven and earth.

With each step, flesh and blood spread and revived along the jade-like bones of his body; with each step, his physique expanded at an incredible rate.

After completing the seven steps, Giant Zero Three had regained his flesh and blood form, although his visage remained obscure under the crown and tassels, the innate dignity and regal aura already far surpassed the previous full moon, making it impossible for anyone on the battlefield to gaze directly upon him.

He stood beneath the sky filled with Primordial Qi, as if standing at the center of this world.

Around him, numerous Holy Spirits sang hymns, colliding with the sound of yellow bells in the Profound Yellow Array, both sides simultaneously annihilating each other, with great sound striving to return to silence, making the heaven and earth appear exceptionally quiet for a moment.

Moreover, an aura of majesty surged upwards, resisting the vast Primordial Qi.

The Primordial Qi rolled unceasingly above the crown, unable to fall.

Heaven and earth remained silent for a while, and then there was questioning from beyond the sky, thunderous like thunder, nine different voices blending into one rebuke:

”Who is beneath the firmament!”

Heavenly entities are dark-red and blurry, embodying the vastness of nature, proclaiming the profundity of heaven and earth, as heaven.

A heavenly entity clings, poorly secured, precarious beyond words.

Standing against the world, fraught with danger.

The giant shadow supported the sword with one hand, supporting the galaxy-like broad belt at his waist with the other, looking up at the sky, his voice calm and distant:

”My name is Tai Yi.”

The nine voices questioned again: ”What is ’Tai’?”

He replied: ”When the body dies, the spirit becomes luminous, the soul forges into a heroic ghost, this is ’Tai’.”

”What is ’Yi’?”

He replied: ”There is no sorrow greater than the parting of life, joy is when the heart seeks unity (1).”

After pausing, heaven and earth fell silent for a moment, the Primordial Qi roiled more fiercely, and many wizards seemed to hear the Black Prison World’s voice expressing its burden.

The nine voices resumed: ”Tai Yi, do you understand the heavens?”

He answered: ”I am the heavens.”

Thus, negotiations broke down, leaving no further sound in the heaven and earth, only the continuously rolling Primordial Qi which followed the vein of cause and effect and timeline, unraveling the entire Black Prison World from end to end, erasing all traces of invaders.

The small piece of world torn by Leviathan broke through its stomach, returning to Black Prison, like a missing puzzle piece that finds its perfect fit.

The Hell Equation’s lava-carved array diagrams were flattened one by one, the earth conjoined, the lava receded, and the Eyes of Sauron standing on the equation wailed as they turned into wisps of black smoke, dissipating between heaven and earth.

The blood-red Sun manifested by Ziz descended, never able to rise again, for between heaven and earth, there can only be one sun and one moon, rising and setting, starlight hidden by night and these rules established one by one.

The weaker prisoners found their figures fading into virtual shadows under the golden sunlight; even stronger demons found each breath increasingly difficult, the magic power around them constantly dispersing, while their souls and spirits drifted into chaos.

Even the great sea monsters and great wizard demons found their true forms shaking in this world, seemingly ready to crumble the next moment due to rule changes.

The entire battlefield, or perhaps the entirety of the Black Prison World, might have avoided the reshaping of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Array only within Tai Yi’s location and the area covered by his shadow.

Tai Yi struck his sword and sang clear, echoing the songs of countless holy spirits, halting the world-changing power of Primordial Qi:

”Auspicious day, cherished moments!”

”Mu Jiang’s pleasure, Emperor’s grace!”

”Raise the longsword, hold with jade earring!”

”Resonant clangs are full of precious stones!”

...

”Mighty spirit in dazzling attire!”

”Fragrant and beautiful fills the hall!”

”Five tones blend in prosperous gathering!”

”Your joy is well and hearty pleasure!”

When also interpreting the principles of heaven and earth, the Profound Yellow Array born from the semi-forbidden curse ’Dragon Han Disaster’ and the forbidden curse of the Dark Council, ’Tai Yi’, were like the sharp points of needles confronting the sharp edges of wheat, opposing each other in this closely sealed Black Prison World. As if like millstones grinding gears, they ground the entire world.

Theoretically, the semi-forbidden curse Profound Yellow Array was unable to resist the forbidden curse, Tai Yi. But perhaps the Dark Council’s forbidden curse had flaws in the foundational rules, perhaps the forbidden curse was not completely chanted, or perhaps the Rat Immortal did not fully sacrifice its embodiment, Giant Zero Three.

In conclusion, the mighty spells did not achieve an overwhelming victory from one side.

Instead, they began to compete for the definition of each rule, the ownership of every line of veils, every breath of air, every drop of lava, every grain of sand in different dimensions and spaces.

At this moment.

An eyeball rolled into the grindstone.
