Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 326 Audacious, You Dare to Usurp the Power of the Underworld

The moment Yehua and Satan entered the Primordial World, Nuwa and Houtu could no longer sit still. Nuwa exclaimed in disbelief, "What is going on with so many Sages? Where did they come from?"

Houtu was also speechless. They had originally prepared to deal with Luohu and Hongjun, but unexpectedly so many Sages had appeared!

Houtu frowned and said to Nuwa, "Nuwa, don't you feel that the aura of these Sages is strange? I can't quite pinpoint it, though!"

Nuwa's heart trembled upon hearing this. She had also sensed it, but had thought she was mistaken. Now that Houtu said the same, it proved she wasn't wrong!

Nuwa and Houtu closed their eyes and carefully sensed their surroundings. Suddenly, a term appeared in their minds!

"Ashen Sage!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Nuwa and Houtu's eyes. The word appeared without reason, as if it had materialized out of nowhere!

Houtu frowned, glanced at Nuwa, and said softly, "Why don't we go take a look?"

Nuwa's heart stirred. She had actually had the same thought but hadn't voiced it.

After pondering for a moment, seeing Houtu looking at her intently, Nuwa said with some concern, "But Kunlun..."

Houtu immediately interrupted her, "What are you afraid of? We still have the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Emperor Jun couple here. The Duotian Divine Demon Formation of the Twelve Ancestral Witches alone could almost rival a Sage back then, let alone after so many years. What is there to fear?"

Nuwa felt her reasoning was sound and she also wanted to see what these outsiders looked like!

Once Nuwa made up her mind, she nodded to Houtu. Seeing this, Houtu instructed the Twelve Ancestral Witches, "Brothers, you stay and guard Kunlun. Nuwa and I will go meet these outsiders!"

Di Jiang heard this and said with some concern, "Little sister, will it be alright for just the two of you to go?"

Houtu shook her head and reassured him, "Don't worry, Big Brother!"

After speaking, Houtu took Nuwa and left Kunlun, heading in the direction of Yehua and Satan!

La also sensed the auras of Satan and the others and headed in their direction!

Satan and Yehua extended their divine senses, searching for Luohu's whereabouts. They didn't sense Luohu's aura but detected two powerful presences heading towards them. Yehua and Satan frowned. Although they didn't know who it was, they were certain it wasn't Luohu!

As they were contemplating, La and his group of nine arrived. La glanced at everyone, his gaze lingering on Zeus, Odin, Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, Yehua, Satan, Michael the Archangel from the Twelve Archangels, and Satania from the Twelve Demon Lords!

Everyone else was also carefully observing La and his group, their gazes ultimately settling on La!

As everyone was scrutinizing each other, Houtu and Nuwa descended from the sky!

Upon seeing Nuwa and Houtu's arrival, all the men's eyes lit up, and they thought to themselves: What beautiful women!

Zeus's eyes seemed to be fixed on Nuwa and Houtu, staring at them intently!

Nuwa and Houtu felt a sense of disgust from Zeus's persistent gaze!

They glanced at the assembled group and discovered that the ones radiating the "Ashen Sage" aura they felt were ten of the Eleven Archangels and ten of the Eleven Demon Lords!

As for the others – Satan, Yehua, La, Odin, Shiva, Brahma, Vishnu, one of the Eleven Archangels, one of the Twelve Demon Lords, and Zeus, who was making them feel disgusted – they were all Saints, though their auras varied in strength!

Before Nuwa and Houtu could speak, someone stepped out from behind Zeus and La, pointing at Houtu and saying, "How dare you! You have the aura of the Underworld on you, and you dare to usurp our power of the Netherworld!"

Nuwa looked at the two, utterly speechless, wondering who gave them the audacity to speak to Houtu like that!

La and Zeus's expressions also changed. They wanted to intervene but it was too late!

Upon hearing this, Houtu's face turned ashen. Her Sage aura swept across the entire area, and she spoke with displeasure:

"You claim I stole your property?"

Houtu's Sage aura erupted. Zeus and La frowned and quickly intervened, shielding their subordinates from Houtu's oppressive power!

Seeing Houtu unleash an extremely powerful aura, yet they themselves remained unharmed, they didn't take Houtu seriously and continued to provoke her!

"You indeed carry the aura of the Underworld. You'd best hand it over!"

Houtu ignored them and turned to La and Zeus:

"Are you two sure you want to be my enemies?"

La sneered upon hearing this, "Native, you are being too presumptuous!"

Zeus immediately chimed in, "Beautiful lady, why don't you return to Mount Olympus with me and share in glory and wealth!"

Houtu's face turned livid. A powerful aura erupted from her, and the power of reincarnation permeated her entire being!

Houtu suddenly extended her hand, and a resounding slap flew towards Zeus!

Zeus saw this and didn't pay it any mind. He lightly raised his hand to block Houtu's palm, but as his hand made contact with the power of reincarnation on Houtu's palm, it suddenly deflected!

"Slap!"

A crisp sound echoed. Zeus looked at Houtu in disbelief, and everyone else also gazed at Houtu with solemn expressions!

Houtu casually flicked her hand, her voice chillingly stating, "Your skin is truly thick!"

Seeing Houtu make a move, Nuwa immediately summoned her Shanhe Sheji Tu (Mountain and River Diagram), suspending it above her head, ready to act at any moment!

The crowd, seeing the Shanhe Sheji Tu hovering above Nuwa's head, their expressions grew even more solemn!

Zeus looked at Houtu with a grim expression. He couldn't believe he had been publicly humiliated by Houtu, and his desire to possess her gradually receded!

"Woman, you have angered me!"

As Zeus spoke, lightning crackled around him, transforming him into a veritable king of thunder!

Houtu snorted coldly, unafraid, and said, "Then let me experience the means of you outsiders!"

Zeus burst into laughter. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like this. The last person to do so was his father, the previous king of the gods, Cronus, whose grave was likely overgrown by now!

Zeus glanced at La and said, "Fellow traveler, this is a matter between me and this woman. It would be best if you didn't interfere!"

Hearing Zeus say this, La was happy to remain an observer and said with a playful look at Zeus, "Don't regret this!"

Zeus smiled, cast a cruel glance at Houtu, and said, "I, Zeus, the King of the Gods, have never regretted anything. Woman, you will submit beneath me!"

Just as Zeus was about to make a move, he suddenly felt an icy killing intent emanating from the horizon!
