The sky thundered and roared, dark clouds gathered, and a fierce wind howled.

A Heretic God, resembling the legendary Song Dynasty judge, Bao Zheng, appeared before Haru.

"That appearance… Looks like Yama himself!" Haru said, his expression a touch unhinged, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust.

In China, across the sea from Japan, a popular folktale depicted the renowned judge, Bao Zheng, being appointed as Yama, the King of Hell, after his death. He continued his just and impartial judgment, only the source of his subjects changed from the wicked living to the sinful souls suffering in the underworld.

Haru was well-acquainted with the famous Chinese Yama, Bao Zheng.

"The current Emperor, is it? The last time I encountered one was a thousand years ago during the Song Dynasty, when I still possessed my complete form." Yama's voice was flat, tinged with a hint of nostalgia. He looked at the young man before him with a hint of surprise, his divine power extending to probe Haru's figure.

"How peculiar, Emperor. Your aura is truly strange. Even at such close proximity, I can only sense a faint trace of a Godslayer's presence, and an even stronger Earthly aura, surpassing even the magical treasures I seek." Yama pondered, his face thoughtful.

Compared to the Emperor he had fought before, Zhao Kuangyin, if he remembered correctly, this one didn't even provoke his fighting spirit when they were face to face. If not for the faint scent of bloodlust and extreme danger in Haru's aura, he might have mistaken him for an ordinary sorcerer.

"I shall become steel!" Haru ignored Yama's question and muttered the incantation. The Authority bestowed upon him by the egg – Steel Incarnate – activated.

"O, Fafnir, the Evil Dragon, grant me your immortal body!" Thousands upon thousands of runes appeared on Haru's body, coalescing into a tangible, shadowy image of an evil dragon, enveloping him completely. Steel Immortal Body activated!

Witnessing Haru wielding the stolen Authority, Yama had no doubt about his identity as the Emperor. He withdrew his probing divine power.

"Oh! It seems you are using some Authority to conceal yourself. I can clearly sense the mad fighting spirit of a Godslayer facing a god. Then, as a response, I shall unleash the Great Summoning Hell!!!"

Yama's final words were a harsh roar. He spread his arms wide, as if embracing the sky. Behind him, a ghastly blood-red world of darkness slowly materialized, enveloping the sky above Okukozome. The residents below instantly fell into an eternal slumber.

Within this dark world, towering ancient cities stood, stained with crimson blood. Inside, rows upon rows of old courtyard houses formed the pattern of a skeleton, stark against the eerie backdrop of this hellish realm. Countless skeletal remains floated in the air, and seven enormous mountains of bone towered over the scene. Rivers of blood flowed beneath the ancient cities, courtyards, and bone mountains. (Wukong vs 4 Heavenly Kings?)

A cold, damp black wind, filled with the wails of ghosts and the yearning of the dead for the world of the living, surged from this dark world. It was the wind of death from the underworld.

The vibrant forest instantly turned pitch black, the golden rice paddies lost their luster, and the residents ceased breathing, turning Okukozome into a realm of the dead.

Haru frowned, looking down at the darkened Okukozome, and sighed. "O, immortal Earth, grant me the power of life!"

In the blink of an eye, the forests and fields regained their vitality, and even the lives that had been extinguished were rekindled with the light of life.

The pitch-black wind of death lingered in the sky, plunging the already dark sky into absolute darkness. It relentlessly attempted to penetrate Haru's immortal body. The shadowy dragon surrounding him emitted a low growl, forming an impenetrable barrier that the black wind couldn't breach.

Yama took a step forward, seemingly traversing multiple dimensions, and appeared behind Haru. A dark wind gathered in his hand, coalescing into a jet-black gavel. He casually tossed it, and the gavel flew towards the back of Haru's head, silently and swiftly.

Haru felt a chill run down his spine, a premonition of danger. The Core within him pulsed, radiating brilliant light. Magical energy surged, strengthening his Steel Immortal Body several times over.

A metallic clang rang out. Haru staggered, his head buzzing from the impact. Ignoring the pain, he turned and threw a punch. A sonic boom erupted as his fist, carrying immense force, aimed for Yama's chest.

Yama stood unmoving, allowing the steel fist to pierce his chest.

Haru's right forearm passed through Yama's chest as if striking a fleeting cloud. The wound radiated a faint black mist, lacking any solidity.

Yama stared at Haru impassively, his eyes filled with indifference, completely disregarding the gaping hole in his chest, silently mocking him.

Haru's veins bulged as he clenched his fists, his eyes burning with unrestrained fury. I'll give you something to remember! A sudden inspiration struck him. "Egg, annihilate him!"

An endless stream of negative energy surged into Haru's right hand, clashing with Yama's ethereal form.

Yama stared in disbelief as a large hole, ten centimeters in diameter, appeared in his chest. The underworld energy that made up his body was completely annihilated by the negative energy of the world's enemy. With a single blow, Yama was severely wounded.

He instantly turned into black smoke, dispersing into the air. High above, within the Summoning Hell, his figure re-formed. But his once dark face now had a yellowish tinge. Having lost a portion of his elemental body, he had transformed from a black man into an Asian man.

"So much for your elemental form! That's what I'm least afraid of!" Haru taunted, looking at Yama hiding in his hellish realm. "You're a God, yet you're sporting a black face. What's the meaning of that? Look, I even gave you a makeover, closer to the masses, right? This time, it's free of charge!"

Hearing this, Yama clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with uncontainable rage. A murderous divine aura filled the sky. He was furious!
