"The Tongue-pulling Hell and Scissors Hell are in turmoil!"
Without hesitation, the Fire Judge mobilized his Divine Power, his body rapidly expanding as he shouted, "Yan Zhen, go notify the other Hells and Yama to prepare for defense! I'll hold them off!"
He reached down to grab the earth, causing the ground of the Iron Tree Hell to continuously crack open, as magma surged from beneath, forming a magma river stretching for hundreds of miles.
The Fire Judge seized the magma river, transforming it into a long whip that danced like a dragon, sweeping towards Chen Shi from afar.
The magma whip swung through the air, scattering countless droplets of lava, which rolled swiftly upon landing, then leaped up, turning into magma ghosts—gleaming with cracked, yet to solidify, lava skin, their insides molten as they sped forward.
Soon, a massive army of thousands of magma ghosts formed, charging along the path leading to this second layer of Hell!
At the same time, the Earth Judge sped towards the Ghost Gate of the fourth layer of Hell. However, just as he was about to reach peak speed, a bolt of Thunder Light suddenly struck from the sky, hitting his forehead!
This blow was heavy, causing the Earth Judge to tumble from the sky, crashing with a thud, creating a massive crater in the Iron Tree Hell.
The Thunder Light landed with a crack of thunder, transforming into an old white ape, covered in white fur, hunched and long-limbed—it was Lei Qu, the Clan Leader of the Thunder Ape Clan.
As Lei Qu landed, the ground around him quaked incessantly, as countless skeletons emerged from the earth. An endless torrent of white bones was swept up by a raging wind, transforming into a hurricane of bones.
Amidst the bone whirlwind, the Earth Judge's body grew taller. He reached out, and countless bones formed into a long whip, which he swung towards Lei Qu.
Lei Qu roared, his Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns glowing around him. His body expanded rapidly, transforming into a towering giant ape, confronting the White Bone Whip!
The whip twisted around him, countless bones biting into his skin, tearing forcibly.
As the Earth Judge drew back the whip, chunks of flesh were ripped from Lei Qu's body.
Disregarding this, Lei Qu approached closely, delivering a punch to the Earth Judge's shoulder, causing it to explode, shattering countless bones which drifted away like snow. Yet, countless white bone skeletons quickly crawled up to him, mending the wounds!
The two colossal ghost gods rolled and tumbled through the Iron Tree Hell, fighting fiercely.
Under the Earth Judge's command, Tai Ao, Yin Commander, Yin Messenger, Ghost Officials, and others charged forward, numbering in the thousands. All were seasoned masters with astonishing Divine Power from long years of worship, but the next moment, countless Thunder Apes charged forward, each activating their Witch Sacrificial Dao Patterns, transforming and crashing into them.
Meanwhile, on another front, the Fire Judge's magma whip had yet to reach Chen Shi, when a towering thousand-foot Fire Demon of the Ghost Clan stood in its way, raising an arm to block the oncoming whip.
The whip coiled around the Fire Demon's arm, and the Fire Demon suddenly exerted force, pulling the Fire Judge towards him.
The Fire Judge steadied himself, the two engaging in a tug of war, the whip snapping, the magma river falling to the ground and transforming into countless magma ghosts, racing swiftly, climbing towards the Fire Demon.
That Fire Demon's hair was a mass of fiery red, like flickering flames, and from this crimson sea emerged a host of Fire Demons, racing down along his body to meet the advancing magma ghosts. A fierce battle ensued on the Fire Demon Clan Leader's body, with corpses intermittently falling from the sky.
The Fire Demon Clan Leader aggressively charged forward to engage the Fire Judge with fists and feet.
Both followed the path of the Incense Fire God: one a Mahayana Realm expert of the Yan Family, seasoned by Hell's ghost and godly incense offerings, the other an awakened Great Shang Remnant of the Witch Sacrificial Dao Pattern, long worshiped by their kin.
Their Divine Power clashed violently, their movements mountain-splitting and sea-dividing, accompanied by roaring flames, melting the surrounding earth into a surging sea of magma.
Chen Shi's wooden cart rolled in, riding the Wind and Thunder, traveling above this magma sea, where two enormous ghost gods battled, stirring monstrous waves.
Granny Sha sat within the cart, watching this scene, her heart filled with unspeakable shock.
The wooden cart safely traversed the magma sea, only to be met by the crisscrossing River of Oblivion weaving through the air, the channels laid out by a parade of Yin Messengers.
These Yin Messengers, paddling their canoes across the river, clashed fiercely with the Thunder Ape Clan experts.
Suddenly, a flock of Rocs flew by overhead, releasing a rain of arrows from the sky to assist in the battle.
The arrows descended like rain, instantly pinning a dozen Yin Messengers, as densely packed as porcupines.
Yet, despite the barrage, not a single arrow struck the wooden cart.
The cart carried everyone smoothly past, arriving at the Ghost Gate of the fourth layer of Hell.
In front of the Ghost Gate, the guarding Ghost Soldiers were already dumbfounded by the scenes they had witnessed.
The ghosts and monsters originally waiting to pass through the gate had long since fled in terror, leaving only a small Bull Head demon standing blankly at the gate, bewildered and petrified.
Chen Shi jumped down from the wooden cart, lined up behind the Bull Head demon, quietly waiting for a moment before speaking, "Excuse me, are you crossing the gate? If not, may I cut in line?"
The Bull Head demon hastily stepped aside, and Chen Shi walked to the Ghost Gate, pulling out four pieces of incense money, stuffing them into the guarding Ghost Soldier's hands, saying, "Officer, if you could let us through, we need to go to the Hell of the Bright Mirror of Sin."
The Ghost Soldier quickly let them pass, saying, "The Hell of the Bright Mirror of Sin is probably not safe either!"
Chen Shi smiled appreciatively, "It's alright. The rebellion is led by my people."
The Ghost Soldier was dumbstruck.
The wooden cart traveled to the Hell of the Bright Mirror of Sin, and Granny Sha looked around to see that both the sky and ground of the Hell were covered with mirrors, thin to the point of transparency, with surfaces reflecting images but lacking substance.
