Immortal Creation.

Chapter 744 The Berserk Judge of the Underworld - What a load of rubbish!
Sun Lingtong had long mastered the art of soul searching, so he knew all too well the differences involved.

A normal soul-searching technique is equivalent to treating the recipient's memories as a book. Soul searching is simply finding a specific line of text within that book.

But the Burning Boat Soul Transfer Technique is different.

Using this spell, one can transform the recipient's memories into one's own, making them feel as if one had personally experienced them.

This certainly has huge drawbacks, but Ning Zhuo’s natural talent allowed him to solve the problem perfectly!
“Xiao Zhuo, your biggest disadvantage is your age! You have not been cultivating for long enough.”

"But with my natural talent and the Soul-Saving Technique, you can turn other people's cultivation experience into your own, thus maximizing your advantage of age."

"You can gain the experience of a lifetime from just one spell you cast. What a terrifying effect that is!"

Sun Lingtong became more and more excited as she spoke, unable to control herself, and began shaking Ning Zhuo's shoulders.

Ning Zhuo, however, was much calmer than his eldest brother.

He slowly shook his head: "No matter how talented I am, there are limits. It's just that we haven't detected them yet."

Sun Lingtong laughed heartily and began to envision the future: "Xiao Zhuo, you have extraordinary comprehension and are good at summarizing. You've learned many things on your own. Now that you have such a shortcut to cultivation, your progress will be terrifying!"

Ning Zhuo looked at the Pagoda of Merit in his hand: "The Burning Boat Soul Transfer Technique has five drawbacks. I am not afraid of the others, but I am worried about being burned by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire."

"The reason I went to the Hall of Exorcism is to control the sins that have accumulated on my body."

"I just burned all the souls in the ash jar, and I also burned the soul cloth of the Spider Woman before. I want to see what my merits and demerits are."

Sun Lingtong took a step back and waited for Ning Zhuo to make his move.

Ning Zhuo did not hesitate and directly infused his magic power. The Pagoda of Merit shone brightly once again, but this time, Ning Zhuo was measuring himself.

The pagoda began to tremble, and after a few breaths, it began to shake violently!
Golden rays of light, like a fountain, began to gush out of the tower.

Immediately, a golden beam of light shot out from the tower, piercing the sky. Had it not been within the array's interior, it would have undoubtedly caused a huge stir outside.

Ripples emanated a faint blue-gold light from the jade lotus base.

The fire on the first floor has almost gone out.

Meanwhile, the pages of the second layer, titled "Evaluation of Merits and Deeds," were being turned frantically. Golden characters appeared on the pages, only to vanish just as quickly.

"How could this be?" Ning Zhuo was slightly taken aback, then noticed that the Buddha Heart Demon Seal in his divine sea had been triggered again, exerting an influence on the "Book of Merit Evaluation and Deeds".

The Book of Merit Evaluation and Performance is like a book being frantically turned in a storm, yet not a single word falls.

The statue on the third level almost came to life, its gaze seemingly piercing through the tower as it stared at Ning Zhuo, a smile appearing on its face: "Good! Good! Good!"

He praised Ning Zhuo and greatly admired him.

Sun Lingtong, who had been observing from the sidelines, squinted her eyes to resist the blinding golden light: "Xiao Zhuo, you're such a kind person, you haven't committed any sins at all?"

Although the "Book of Merit Evaluation" had become ineffective, the pagoda had already been refined by Ning Zhuo, so Ning Zhuo was now quite clear: "Strange, my merits are enormous, but my sins are not even a trace."

"How is this going?"

For a moment, Ning Zhuo even had some doubts, wondering if the pagoda had been measured incorrectly.

This is almost impossible.

Even a saint in the world, can he be without the slightest sin? You must know that no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, and many times, these mistakes become sins, accumulating on the body of a cultivator.

Sun Lingtong narrowed her eyes, thinking of a certain possibility: "Perhaps this is a case of merits and demerits canceling each other out, your merits offsetting your sins."

Ning Zhuo also thought of this: "It seems that the merits we have gained from the Yang Heaven are more valuable than we imagined."

Under normal circumstances, merits and demerits should not offset each other.

Just like the numerous Qi Refining stage demonic cultivator souls Ning Zhuo had just tested. Their sins and merits are clearly recorded in the "Book of Merit and Deeds," with the amount of sins and merits readily apparent. If they could offset each other, this coexistence wouldn't occur.

Ning Zhuo, however, possessed only merits and had no sins whatsoever.

He looked at Sun Lingtong and said, "I'm afraid you're the same way, boss. Let me test you."

“Okay, okay,” Sun Lingtong readily agreed.

He also participated in the war against the Lord of Wangchuan. Furthermore, he played an extremely crucial role in the Immortal City of Wangchuan.

Logically speaking, Yang Tian's merits should also be included, and the amount should be no less!

Ning Zhuo was efficient in his work, and he activated the Floating Pagoda of Merit, aiming it at Sun Lingtong.

The pagoda hummed and trembled, and once again spewed forth golden light, but its momentum was significantly weaker than Ning Zhuo's.

The fire did not react. The "Book of Merit Evaluation" recorded every good deed of Sun Lingtong, from childhood to the battle related to the River of Oblivion.

"Huh?!" The statue on the third floor suddenly opened its eyes wide in anger.

He was praising Sun Lingtong a moment ago, and then suddenly spoke up.

"Good, good, good... my ass!"

The judge of the underworld suddenly became enraged!

His image was originally part of the Pagoda of Merit and Deeds. Therefore, he was also very familiar with the "Book of Merit and Deeds".

It is precisely because of their cooperation that the Pagoda of Merit is able to exert its powerful function of discerning and assessing merits and demerits.

The judge of the underworld discovered the truth—the child cultivator before him was guilty of heinous crimes, unforgivable sins, and was actually the object of Yin Tian's hatred!
Which side are the judges of the underworld on?

The underworld, the underworld, of course it stands on the side of the dark side.

Therefore, the next moment, the judge of the underworld jumped off the throne, kicked through the tower wall, and rushed to Sun Lingtong's side.

This battle came so suddenly!

Ning Zhuo was also a bit careless. After all, he had just used it on himself and there were no problems, so he subconsciously assumed that Sun Lingtong would also be fine.

The judge of the underworld broke through the tower and rushed into the martial arts formation. His body swelled with the wind and soon he was two zhang tall, with a powerful and imposing figure and an intimidating aura.

"Those who are abhorrent to cloudy days are unforgivable sinners and shall be punished by having their tongues pulled out and being plowed!"

The judge of the underworld glared and roared, his divine power stirring up a whirlwind as he unleashed the divine art of the Mysterious Iron Shackles!
Shackles appeared out of thin air around Sun Lingtong, and were about to shrink and lock her firmly in place when she suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Theft Technique—Through the Void!
The Xuan Tie crime shackles were empty.

The judge of the underworld looked up at the sky, opened his mouth, and spat out a ghost pearl. The ghost pearl emitted a sinister, cold light, its radiance covering a radius of ten feet.

As soon as Sun Lingtong appeared, she was illuminated by the cold light, which slowed her movements several times over.

The Xuan Tie Sin Shackles reappeared, reaching out to aim directly at Sun Lingtong's collarbone.

Ning Zhuo's pupils contracted sharply, and the spells he had prepared burst forth. A beam of yellow light protected Sun Lingtong, blocking the restraints of the Sin Shackles, while a fire spell, like a serpent, coiled around the Sin Shackles, continuously burning them.

After casting two spells, Ning Zhuo turned to look at the judge of the underworld, using a combination of verbal and physical hand seals to unleash a wood-elemental spell.

The vines beneath the judge of the underworld grew wildly, wrapping around his ankles and then binding his legs.

The Five Viscera Spiritual Technique!
My innate magical technique: the Five Elements Generation and Destruction Technique!
The combination of these two factors allows Ning Zhuo to use any of the Five Elements spells quickly and accurately.

The judge of the underworld, obstructed, glared at Ning Zhuo and declared, "Those who assist criminals must also be severely punished!" He spread his left palm, and a precious mirror appeared from it. Suddenly, a beam of grayish-white light shot out from the mirror, sweeping towards Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo was prepared and immediately dodged.

The gray beam of light swept towards Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong was suppressed by the Ghost Pearl. During her hasty retreat, she was hit on the left shoulder. The protective spell Ning Zhuo had added to her was pierced, and the flesh and blood of her left shoulder instantly melted away, revealing the white bone.

Ning Zhuo frowned deeply, patted the storage belt at his waist, and released a large number of mechanical artifacts.

There are mechanisms that allow fire snakes to move, and mechanisms that allow thunder and silence birds to fly.

This is the inner space of the formation. The training formation is not of a high standard and the space is relatively small, unlike the training hall. The space is smaller and not suitable for using mechanisms like the fiery monkey.

In an instant, snakes surged like a tide on the ground, while flocks of birds, crackling with electricity, rained down like arrows.

The judge of the underworld still wore a cold smile: "Two Foundation Establishment stage juniors, struggling like ants!"

The mirror floating in His palm spun rapidly, causing the mirror light to sweep in all directions. Wherever it went, whether it was a fire snake or a thunderbird, it was like encountering boiling wax. Under the beam of light, they sizzled and steamed, suffering heavy damage. Countless ones collapsed on the spot.

Ning Zhuo's expression was stern as he continuously unleashed his mechanical creations.

He releases whatever amount he loses.

After so much time, he had accumulated a considerable amount of ordinary mechanisms.

This is perfect for attrition tactics!
The judge of the underworld swept his beams across the battlefield, and although he achieved many victories, he was shocked to see the endless stream of contraptions and artifacts appearing. His expression changed.

He did not fight in his true form, but after realizing the trickery of Sun Lingtong, he used a massive amount of divine power to temporarily reside in the statue and act as a clone in the battle.

The divine power He consumed was far greater than what He actually displayed. After all, His true form resided in the underworld, while this battle took place in the mortal realm.

Therefore, He must act swiftly and decisively.

The judge of the underworld gently stroked his official robe, the surface of which was embroidered with numerous ghostly figures. The next moment, these ghostly figures came to life, leaping off the robe and attacking Sun Lingtong.

The number of ghosts was still less than Ning Zhuo's array of mechanisms, but each one possessed Foundation Establishment combat power. They were like a powerful punch, destroying all obstacles in their path and surrounding Sun Lingtong.

Holding a dagger, Sun Lingtong moved with incredible agility, darting among the ghostly figures.

His swordsmanship was sharp, and he killed several Foundation Establishment level ghosts in succession, thus ensuring his own safety.

The judge of the underworld's face darkened further: "If it weren't for the fact that we are in the mortal realm, and this body... it would be so ineffective for my exorcism skills."

"Um?!"

Suddenly sensing something, the judge of the underworld abruptly turned his head and cast his sharpest gaze at Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo had already retreated far away, his left hand supporting the Merit Pagoda, and he was activating the treasure.

The statue of the judge of the underworld was originally on the third floor of the pagoda. From the beginning, it was part of this combined magic weapon and was naturally influenced by Ning Zhuo.

The judge of the underworld had no choice but to increase the amount of divine power he channeled to counter Ning Zhuo's desperate attempt to undermine his cause. However, inevitably, his aura and combat strength still declined rapidly.

The judge of the underworld took a deep breath, took out his judge's pen, and with his divine power greatly depleted, he used his divine magic to create a series of tombstones that crashed down from mid-air.

The tombstones, each as large as a horse, smashed into the entire martial arts formation, causing it to shake violently. The formation trembled under the immense pressure, and many of its runes collapsed.

"Not good." Ning Zhuo, who had rented the Qing Shi Cave, was the temporary owner of this place. He naturally knew that this martial arts formation was perfectly capable of handling battles at the Foundation Establishment level.

Although the judges of the underworld have been weakened in many ways, they are still at the Golden Core level. As the battle drags on, the martial arts formation is naturally taking more and more damage.

"Snow Pivot Control - Rest!"

Ning Zhuo transmitted his thoughts and gave the order to attack.

The next moment, a mechanical construct in the shape of a woman appeared on the battlefield.

She wore an ice-crystal helmet and a hexagonal ice armor, the plates of which resembled a hexagonal honeycomb. Her shoulder-mounted beast head was a roaring ice dragon, and her eyes were inlaid with aurora-like glass. Simultaneously, six mechanical spheres constantly hovered and floated around her.

The judge of the underworld's expression changed again as he sensed the genuine Golden Core level aura emanating from Xue Shuyu Xie.

"I obey the clan leader's battle order!" Xue Shuyu Xie immediately took action, and six mechanical steel balls shot out, spewing out frost-white cold currents, causing the temperature inside the formation to plummet.

Xue Shuyu Xie stretched out her arms and struck at the same time. Large snowflakes appeared out of thin air, and the cold air, under her control, froze the boundary wall, as well as various tombstones and ghosts.

There were even ice crystals appearing on the robes of the judges of the underworld, spreading and covering them with difficulty.

For the first time, a hint of surprise flashed across the judge's indigo face. He immediately turned the mirror light and shot it towards Xue Shuyu Xie.

Xue Shuyu did not dodge. The aurora glass in the Ice Dragon Devouring Beast shoulder armor suddenly lit up, shooting out two beams of ice light that merged into one midway and crashed hard into the mirror light.

The two beams of light collided in mid-air, producing a hissing noise, and fiercely fought, resulting in a brief stalemate.

Xue Shuyu's outstretched arms fell down, then palms facing upwards, and he pushed forward forcefully.

call!
In an instant, a cold wind arose, swirling with goose-feather snowflakes, forming a small blizzard that instantly engulfed the entire battlefield, completely obscuring the figure of the judge of the underworld.

When the blizzard subsided, the battlefield fell silent.

The ghosts, the tombstones, and the black iron shackles all vanished silently.

Xue Shuyu Xie waved his hand, dispersing the ice and snow, revealing the judge of the underworld and Sun Lingtong behind him.

Sun Lingtong's dagger emitted a blue light and pierced directly through the judge of the underworld from behind.

The judge of the underworld's anger and hatred lingered on his face, then his divine power slowly dissipated, quickly revealing the wooden statue's original color.

A few breaths later, the dilapidated statue was fully revealed in its original form.

The judge of the underworld was defeated.

Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

The newly acquired Pagoda of Merit was damaged after only a short time. It can only be used again after a new statue is placed inside and the invocation of the gods is successful.

But this is not the point.

Panting, Sun Lingtong treated her shoulder injury as she said, "The gods and heaven and earth are one. It seems we are truly not welcomed in the underworld."

“We had already given a water burial to the elderly with their ashes and used the 'Accumulating Merit Sutra'.”

"Without this move, the battle would have been much more difficult."

Ning Zhuo's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he analyzed in his heart, "When I measured myself before, my Buddha Heart Demon Seal was passively triggered, which suppressed the evaluation of merits and deeds, so it was not discovered."

"It was only after measuring the eldest brother that the judge of the underworld was angered, causing him to go berserk."

"Alas, this is also a drawback of the combined magic weapon crafted by the art of combining artifacts. The degree of control is far inferior to that of a regular magic weapon, and it may even trigger a violent rebellion or backlash against its master."

"We learned our lesson this time! We weren't careful enough. If only we had been more cautious beforehand..."

Sun Lingtong suddenly exclaimed softly, "Xiao Zhuo, take a look, something's not right with this statue. It looks like a relic from a divine rebirth?"
