Sacred Grounds of Yaochi.
Terrifying forces clashed fiercely, turning heaven and earth upside down, with immortals wailing and demons weeping. Between heaven and earth, a torrential rain of blood fell, and scenes of many gods and demons perishing appeared.
Nangong ngyao had just restored her cultivation to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. However, thanks to the Jade Pool Formation and her divine skills and experience from past lives, even the Blood Dragon Emperor could not harm her.
But the pursuer was not only the Blood Dragon Emperor.
Following the Blood Dragon Emperor’s attack, the Black Radiance Demon Emperor also made his move.
He resembled a blazing sun. However, this sun was black, wreathed in pitch-black demonic flas. Dao Laws wove through it, creating an image of fierce flas incinerating the nine heavens, too dazzling to behold.
Countless cultivators who rely glanced at it felt their eyes sting, their souls seemingly scorched by the nine nether demonic flas, a pain that pierced deep into their marrow.
"Black Radiance Burns Heaven!"
With a push of his hands, the Black Radiance Demon Emperor sent "Black Suns," each as large as a star, crashing violently towards Yaochi.
"Blood Dragon Spear!"
Not to be outdone, the Blood Dragon Emperor thrust forth a blood-red dragon spear, tens of thousands of feet in length, which pierced the sky. Its sharp tip dripped blood as it penetrated the cosmos and tore through the firmant.
The endless sharp power violently collided with the defensive formation of the Sacred Grounds of Yaochi. Nangong ngyao’s delicate body trembled, and her complexion turned several shades paler.
BOOM!
Simultaneously, the Black Radiance Demon Emperor’s attack descended, with the ’Black Suns’ fiercely battering the Jade Pool Formation.
It was as if true suns were plumting, their terrifying power causing Yaochi to tremble continuously. The dreadful pressure made even Daluo Golden Immortals feel as if they were shouldering mountains, their hearts pounding with fear.
It was truly terrifying.
Far too strong.
Combat of this magnitude was approaching the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level, far beyond what Daluo Golden Immortals could interfere with.
"Little beauty, your barrier is quite resilient. But how long can you hold on?"
The Blood Dragon Emperor’s ferocious dragon head bore a wild smile. His massive dragon body, stretching for an incredible distance asurable in the millions, writhed, and the Blood Dragon Spear rged with the pair of blood-colored dragon horns atop his head.
The dragon horns were imposing, looking as if they could pierce the heavens.
"Watch how this Emperor breaks through it!"
The Blood Dragon Emperor’s colossal and majestic body soared upwards, then dived down from the sky with an unstoppable, devastating montum.
"God Dragon Splits Heaven!"
His colossal and majestic dragon body, like an indestructible dragon spear of unparalleled sharpness, fiercely collided with the Jade Pool Formation.
The barrier ford by the formation instantly caved in significantly. It shook precariously, like a ball pressed to its absolute limit, on the verge of bursting!
CRACK!
A sound like cracking porcelain echoed as hideous fissures spread across Yaochi’s protective formation.
These fissures were like the final straw. With a deafening boom, the protective barrier shattered.
PFFT!
Nangong ngyao, whose mind and spirit were connected to the formation, suffered a backlash. Her entire body was struck violently by the terrifying force. She coughed up a mouthful of blood and plumted from the sky like a broken doll.
Fresh blood stained her snow-white dress, resembling a wilting peony. It was a tragically beautiful and poignant sight.
"One spear, blood drawn!" The Blood Dragon Emperor’s colossal, mighty, blood-colored dragon body transford into a burly man in a blood-red robe. He held the Blood Dragon Spear, looking down upon Yaochi from on high, his face filled with pride as he declared, "How about that, little beauty? Now you know how formidable this Emperor is, don’t you?"
"Saint Master!" Duanmu Xi, Ji Yue, and Ji Hongxia cried out, their eyes filled with despair. Even relying on the Jade Pool Formation wasn’t enough to stop them. Now that the formation is broken, what can we possibly do?
But just as they were about to rush towards Nangong ngyao, a figure appeared beside her, moving faster than they could. It was as if this person had anticipated it, catching the falling Nangong ngyao with an outstretched hand.
"Little rascal!" Ji Hongxia exclaid, startled by Hongng’s sudden appearance.
This battlefield... Even if Hongng has beco a Divine King, this isn’t a conflict he can participate in. However, considering the terrifying power that might back Hongng, a flicker of anticipation ignited in her eyes. Perhaps... perhaps Yaochi can be saved. There’s at least one Primordial Golden Immortal behind Hongng. Even if they can’t defeat the Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor, if they team up with Nangong ngyao, they might stand a chance.
"Hongng... Brother." Nangong ngyao’s beautiful, profound eyes gazed at the suddenly appearing Hongng, her expression complex, sowhat unsure how to face him.
This was also the reason she had not sought out Hongng earlier.
"Just for you calling ’Brother Hongng,’ leave the rest to . Watch your Brother Hongng avenge you!"
Hongng smiled faintly. Nangong ngyao’s call of ’Brother Hongng’ was a bit awkward, completely lacking its previous naturalness.
But it showed that even though Nangong ngyao had awakened her mories and changed considerably, she hadn’t completely beco soone else. She is Nangong ngyao, and also, in a sense, the Saint Master of the Jade Pool.
"Your hand..." Nangong ngyao’s cool gaze fell upon Hongng, and her fair cheeks couldn’t help but flush with a hint of Red Rosy Clouds.
"My hand?" Hongng looked puzzled, clenching his fist. Uh, it seems...
Nangong ngyao’s expression turned grim.
Hongng felt a bit embarrassed and chuckled sheepishly, "If I said it wasn’t intentional, would you believe ?"
Damn this hand. It’s beco pure instinct. Always finding the vital point, grasping the core... unconsciously.
Nangong ngyao rolled her eyes at him. Believe you? As if!
"Kid, you’ve got so nerve, lusting after her like that! Daring to boast before this Emperor and play the hero saving the damsel?"
The Blood Dragon Emperor’s gaze turned icy. This re Divine King dares to boast about dealing with ? And worse, he dares to snatch my prey from right under my nose! How do you wish to die?
The Blood Dragon Emperor leveled his spear, and a terrifying aura of bloodlust and slaughter, almost tangible, swept forth, blanketing the area.
Even Divine Kings would struggle to resist such dense, malevolent energy. While not imdiately life-threatening, it would undoubtedly corrode the mind and inflict severe trauma upon the soul.
"Careful!" Nangong ngyao struggled to her feet, intending to help Hongng resist it.
In my view, even if Hongng has powerful backers, he himself has only just beco a Divine King. He definitely can’t withstand the Blood Dragon Emperor’s baleful aura.
"Don’t move! You’re seriously injured," Hongng said, his arm tightening around Nangong ngyao’s voluptuous and graceful form.
It has to be said, she’s... developed quite a bit in just a few months. I can barely get a good grasp anymore.
As for the Blood Dragon Emperor, Hongng completely ignored him. The baleful energies and oppressive aura, capable of eroding a Divine King’s will, had no effect on Hongng whatsoever, dissipating into nothingness within a radius of about thirty feet from him.
The Blood Dragon Emperor paid it no mind, assuming Hongng either possessed a protective treasure or Nangong ngyao had covertly blocked his baleful aura.
However, being ignored by a re Divine King, uncontrollable rage erupted in his heart.
"Dragon Entering the Sea!" He thrust the Blood Dragon Spear forward viciously. It transford into what looked like a blood-colored Divine Dragon, roaring as it dove from the firmant. Wherever it passed, the void shattered, and all things returned to desolation, a truly chilling sight.
Nangong ngyao’s pupils constricted. Her soft, delicate body tensed instantly as she sensed an imnse crisis. If I weren’t injured, I could easily block this move. But now... I can still block it, but I’ll definitely aggravate my injuries. Still, no matter what, I won’t just sit here and wait for death!
Just as she steeled herself for a desperate fight, Hongng’s hot breath brushed against her ear. That infuriating "demonic claw" of his didn’t loosen its grip in the slightest; it even gave a little squeeze.
She was about to erupt in anger when Hongng’s gentle voice reached her ear, "Relax, I’m here."
For so reason, those simple words seed to possess a magical power, causing her tense body to soften.
"You brat, die!" the Blood Dragon Emperor sneered. To think he’s still whispering sweet nothings when death is at his doorstep! Especially Hongng’s little actions—I’ve seen them all. I don’t know where a re God King Realm whelp gets the audacity to ignore . And I don’t care to know. All I know is that this spear thrust will blast this detestable little brat apart!
Nangong ngyao stared intently at the sky, the blood-red dragon spear growing ever larger in her pupils. Her heart leaped into her throat. Nevertheless, she suppressed the urge to fight desperately. I want to see just what trump cards Hongng has.
High in the firmant, the Black Radiance Demon Emperor, seated amidst the Black Suns, gazed down below with profound, dark eyes, remaining vigilant of his surroundings.
As a Divine Emperor level powerhouse, I’ve noted Hongng’s every expression and movent. Anyone who can cultivate to the Divine King realm is no fool. Therefore, Hongng must have so kind of backing or trump card.
The Blood Dragon Emperor, of course, knew this. Despite his lewd and arrogant deanor, he was, in fact, also on high alert.
The Blood Dragon Spear was about to descend. Everyone looked at Hongng, eager to discover what he was relying on.
Suddenly, a cool, clear voice erged from nowhere. "Light Pure Spirit World."
Myriad streams of light revealed a golden world that instantly enveloped both the Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor.
CLASH!
The Blood Dragon Spear struck the Light Pure Spirit World. Terrifying shockwaves rippled outwards, yet they failed to shatter the golden domain.
"A Divine Emperor of the Path of Light!" The Black Radiance Demon Emperor’s heart skipped a beat. His divine consciousness swept over the Light Pure Spirit World as he directed his Black Suns to crash down, attempting to shatter it.
"A Divine Emperor!" Nangong ngyao’s eyes lit up as a breathtakingly beautiful, blonde woman holding a Golden Long Spear materialized before them.
The woman possessed a regal and aloof deanor. She had golden hair, golden eyes, and golden wings on her back that seed forged from pure gold. Her long legs were slender, fair, and exquisitely shaped—a true paragon of beauty.
"Whew... I knew that little rascal had a trump card, but I never expected it to be such a great beauty!" Ji Hongxia sighed in relief at the Angel Sage Sovereign’s sudden appearance, her eyes gleaming with pleasant surprise.
Joy also flickered in the eyes of Duanmu Xi and Ji Yue. There’s hope for Yaochi!
「Within the Light Pure Spirit World.」
After exchanging thousands of blows, the Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor finally gauged the true strength and limits of the Light Pure Spirit World.
The Black Radiance Demon Emperor said, "Blood Dragon, let’s join forces and shatter her Light Pure Spirit World!"
The Blood Dragon Emperor nodded. "Alright!"
"Black Radiance Extre Light!" The Black Radiance Demon Emperor transford into a streak of pitch-black light that lanced towards the barrier of the Light Pure Spirit World. The once seemingly unbreakable barrier shuddered, a tiny fissure appearing where the light struck.
"Blood Dragon Stab!" Witnessing this, a fierce glint flashed in the Blood Dragon Emperor’s crimson eyes. He rged with his Blood Dragon Spear, transforming into a ferocious, blood-red drill.
The blood-red drill whirled rapidly, stabbing viciously into the very spot breached by the Black Radiance Extre Light.
CRACK!
The Light Pure Spirit World fractured further, on the verge of shattering.
「Outside.」
"Let go of ! The Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor are about to break through!"
Although Nangong ngyao’s Cultivation Level had not yet returned to Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, her insight was extraordinary. She could tell at a glance that the Light Pure Spirit World wouldn’t hold.
The Angel Sage Sovereign is powerful, and her Light Pure Spirit World is formidable. One-on-one, she could likely defeat or trap either of them. But facing two simultaneously is practically impossible.
"They can’t break through!" Hongng stated confidently.
"It’s already about to break!" Nangong ngyao was sowhat anxious. The Angel Sage Sovereign is indeed powerful, but Hongng is being overly confident. The Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor are no pushovers!
"Haha, break for this Emperor!" The Blood Dragon Emperor’s laughter bood from within the Light Pure Spirit World. Everyone’s expression changed. Nangong ngyao’s eyes narrowed, and she prepared to forcibly break free from Hongng’s grasp.
Just then, the sky abruptly darkened.
A chilling voice, seemingly emanating from an eternal night, intoned,
"Undying Light."
"Eternal Darkness."
"Light Dark Pure Spirit World!"
The final words seed to be spoken by two voices overlapping. Nangong ngyao, who had been about to struggle, froze. She saw another woman, almost identical to the Angel Sage Sovereign, appear.
This woman was shrouded in darkness, like an incarnation of darkness itself—the Sovereign of Darkness.
Her aura was the antithesis of the Angel Sage Sovereign’s, yet the two complented each other perfectly.
She was another of Hongng’s summoned heroes—The Unhearing Sovereign.
As The Unhearing Sovereign’s The Way of Darkness rged into the technique, the Light Dark Pure Spirit World fully ford, its power instantly surging a hundredfold.
"How is this possible?!" Inside the Light Dark Pure Spirit World, the Blood Dragon Emperor and the Black Radiance Demon Emperor had been on the verge of shattering the Light Pure Spirit World when, suddenly, the barrier healed completely.
They sensed that the dinsion imprisoning them had beco over a hundred tis stronger. Every mont, a terrifying force relentlessly assimilated and corroded their bodies, their wills, and even their Dao.
