Not many people had come from the Heaven Nether Sect this time; there were only seven to eight hundred of them. Furthermore, almost all their Demigods had perished. A few dozen had died in the Endless Deep Sea while Jiang Yi’s Smelting Divine Demon Flames and Divinity Slayer had killed another forty-nine of them. Besides Xing Mengwan, there were only four to five Demigods left; everyone else was four- or five-star martial artists.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
At Xing Mengwan’s cry, all seven to eight hundred members of the Heaven Nether Sect flew up into the sky and stood near Xing Mengwan. They were not in disarray but had formed a strange formation. From below, it looked like a constellation. After everyone got into position, Xing Mengwan raised one of her hands into the sky and shouted at the top of her lungs, “Heaven Nether Formation! Rise—”
Buzz!
Everyone started to shine with black light as all seven to eight hundred bodies emanated a black aura. Those auras were congregating around Xing Mengwan’s body, and all their bodies swiftly dried up as they became skin and bones. They continued to release the black aura, and finally, someone’s body was left with just his bones; his blood and flesh had all disappeared! Furthermore, Xing Mengwan’s body’s aura started to amplify as if she had used the same ancient mystical ability that Yi Piaopiao had given to the Xuan Thearch.
“Not good! Jiang Yi, hurry up and stop her!”
“Young Lord, hurry up and kill Xing Mengwan.”
“Jiang Yi, kill this woman…”
The Buddha Thearch, the Xuan Thearch, and Saint Empress all felt the terrifying energy within Xing Mengwan. So many people’s blood essence and energies had been required to activate this formation; how horrifying was it? If Xing Mengwan managed to summon thousands or tens of thousands of those black-armored zombies or an ancient beast, that would truly be a calamity for the Stellarsky Domain that could spell their end.
Swish!
Jiang Yi had already moved when everyone had started talking. He flew towards Xing Mengwan as the Xiaozhuan characters returned to his soul spirit consciousness and hid within his sword-shaped soul spirit body. He wielded his Fire Dragon Sword and swung it about, swiftly congealing the Divinity Slayer. At the same time, he also released his Icebound Thousand Miles and Astral Wind Blades to try and disrupt Xing Mengwan’s actions.
Tsk! Tsk!
However, before the Icebound Thousand Miles could spread to her, Xing Mengwan’s entire body had already been lit up by black flames. A huge black pillar of light shot upwards and into the void.
Xing Mengwan was inside that fire and watched calmly as Jiang Yi flew over. Her lips were slightly curved as she faintly smiled and said, “Jiang Yi, it is too late; this Heaven Nether Formation cannot be disrupted once activated. Netherworld Thearch, your citizen—Xing Mengwan—is coming to follow you now.”
Pong-pong-pong-pong!
The seven to eight hundred people of the Heaven Nether Sect all burst into blood mist at the same time; not even their remains were left. The black flames on Xing Mengwan’s body raged as the lower half of her body became a fine powder because of those flames and steadily disappeared. Jiang Yi stopped in mid-air, helpless, as his gaze turned towards the void!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Every living person all looked upwards as well. At this moment, there was movement in the void as a passageway appeared in the darkened sky. Golden beams of light spread out as an aura resembling that of an ancient beast was released from the void.
The void had split open?
The spatial zone here was very stable; everyone was clear about that. Furthermore, the crack in the void had happened tens of thousands of feet up in the high heavens. The astral winds there were extremely dense; even Jiang Yi with the Mystic Divine Armor might not be able to withstand them. How could it be that the void had split open?
Buzz!
The crack grew bigger and bigger, and within half a minute, it had lengthened to a thousand feet long and a hundred feet wide. Furthermore, it was still expanding at a frightening speed.
Ten thousand feet, a hundred thousand feet… a million feet!
Everyone all felt as if the vault of heaven had been split into two. A million-foot-long and hundred-thousand-foot-wide golden crevice had appeared in the skies. Inside it was filled with golden light; nothing could be seen clearly. However, the aura coming from inside it was becoming more and more frightening.
Tsk-Tsk!
Suddenly, a faint earth-splitting sound could be heard from inside the golden crack. Following that, a huge skeleton hand reached out from it. The skeletal hand made everyone’s soul spirit tremble; that hand itself was already a hundred feet wide.
This hand had a dark-gold color, and runic patterns were swimming in it. As it silently reached out at this moment, the Buddha Thearch and others all felt that they were like frogs at the bottom of a well. There was a huge hand reaching inside the well now and intended to squeeze them to death.
“Ha!”
Jiang Yi had already finished charging his Divinity Slayer and had sent it sweeping crazily towards that giant hand. He did not know who the owner of the hand was, to possess such astonishing battle strength. He only knew that he could not allow the owner to enter the Stellarsky Domain; if not, the entire Stellarsky Domain would be annihilated.
Roar! Roar!
Three ten-thousand-foot-long, molten lava dragons heavily struck that giant hand. At this moment, everyone’s hearts and bodes all trembled; they were hoping for a miracle to happen!
Pfff! Pfff!
No such miracle happened. The three dragons were just like three small waves that had struck on a rock; there was no damage to that hand whatsoever. That hand had not even moved a little.
Tsk! Tsk!
Yet another hand silently stretched forward from the golden crack. After that, both hands started to tear at the seams of the crack, and it widened once again. The head of the owner of those two skeletal hands also appeared.
“Heavens!”
“What kind of monster is this?”
“Is this the Netherworld Realm’s Nether God?”
“It’s all over…”
The moment everyone saw that head, everyone was scared witless. There was an uproar as many were so shocked they forgot to block the attacks from the zombie soldiers and zombie beasts and had their divine shields broken apart as they were turned into blood mist.
Roar! Roar!
The owner of the giant hands’ body tunneled its way into the crack and stood tall in the void. Although the astral winds up in the high heavens were extremely thick, they could not harm this creature. Jiang Yi, the Buddha Thearch, the Saint Empress, Saint Emperor, Xuan Thearch, and others saw this peculiar creature as they utterly lost hope.
Because—
This was not something humans could go up against!
This was a three-thousand-foot-tall skeletal giant. Its entire body was bones, and there was not one piece of flesh. At every moment, its bones emanated a golden light that spread for ten thousand feet. Its body also had numerous runic patterns swimming about. The strange thing was—while he did not have any flesh or blood, he actually had eyeballs. These eyeballs were also physically the same as humans’. The only difference was that they were icy cold, evil, and deathly!
Not only its eyes; its entire body was emanating coldness, evilness, and death. If Xing Mo had given everyone a feeling that he was a big demon, then this was definitely an Overlord Demon that had appeared from the Netherworld Realm. This was a Netherworld Realm creature that no human could rival. It did not attack; just from the aura emitting from its body, even Jiang Yi could not raise his weapons.
“A Big Killing Weapon; it is indeed a Big Killing Weapon. Xing Mengwan had actually summoned the Netherworld Realm’s Nether God!”
Jiang Yi mocked himself as his face was full of bitterness and agony. He had overcome so many trials and tribulations; had killed the North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, and the Beast Thearch; and had almost been possessed by Xing Mo. He had finally grasped a new way to use the Nameless Divine Art and had destroyed Xing Mo’s soul spirit. Yet, Jiang Yi had not expected such a creature to come: a god-like Netherworld Realm Overlord Demon!
Could humans match up to gods and deities? Could a Cast Tripod Realm martial artist fight a Demigod?
The answer was clear!
