Wu Shang did not have divine artifact armor, and his soul spirit was being stilled by the Sonar Thearch’s Heartbreak Melody. If Jiang Yi still could not kill him, the Divinity Slayer would not live up to its reputation. As Jiang Yi’s essence force had reached the peak stage, his Divinity Slayer’s power had increased as well. Combined with ten Astral Wind Blades, it was easy to break through the North Thearch’s unfortified divine shield.
Swish! Swish!
The divine artifact saber that was with the North Thearch became a beam of light and flew towards Xing Mo. With the Sonar Thearch dead, the Sword Thearch and Beast Thearch naturally woke up as they hurriedly retreated in fear. Jiang Yi had managed to kill the Evil Thearch back then in the Endless Deep Sea. It was now even easier for him to kill the two of them.
“Still want to run?”
The Sonar Thearch’s death had enraged Jiang Yi. He locked onto the Beast Thearch and hacked towards him again, with three fire dragons surging forward. At the same time, the heaven and earth’s pressure stilled the Beast Thearch’s body in mid-air as he watched three dragons made of molten lava engulf him helplessly!
“Sect Patriarch, save me…”
The Beast Thearch cried out. Xing Mo, however, only stared and did not seem to have any intention at intervening. He watched as the Beast Thearch was struck by the three fire dragons, and his body exploded into bits and pieces.
“Sect Patriarch, why did you not save Tu Xian?”
The Sword Thearch flew back and watched the Beast Thearch get slaughtered. He felt a little aggrieved and was a little displeased at Xing Mo. The two had sworn to follow him, and he had actually watched and did not help the Beast Thearch?
Swish!
Who knew that the divine artifact saber in Xing Mo’s hand lit up and, with frightening speed, swept towards the Sword Thearch’s neck? At the same time, Xing Mo’s eyes lit up as a black streak of light shot towards the Sword Thearch and froze the terrified Sword Thearch.
“Pfff!”
A head flew by as fresh blood spurted from the Sword Thearch’s neck. That head that had eyes wide open rolled a few times on the ground as all the Jian Clan members’ faces changed.
“Trash!”
Xing Mo laughed out coldly as his gaze swept towards the infuriated Jian Clan and Tu Clan members. He said coldly, “This is what happens to those who dare to defy me. All are to go out and attack; whoever defies me will be killed!”
“Kill!”
No one dared to defy Xing Mo. They were all clear that it was too late for them to jump ship. If Jiang Yi and company won, the two clans would definitely be annihilated. Most importantly—no one believed that Jiang Yi and others could triumph. They could only shout out in rage as they rushed towards Jiang Yi.
“Get lost!”
Jiang Yi swept his Divinity Slayer in front of him and cleared the way. A few hundred members of the Jian Clan and the Tu Clan were immediately killed while the rest didn’t dare to come close. They headed in all other directions to join in the battle. Jiang Yi’s eyes fixated on Xing Mo as he yelled, “Xing Mo, fight me!”
“You are not worthy.”
Xing Mo casually waved the divine artifact battle saber and, without refinement, the saber followed him as he retreated higher up into the skies.
At that moment, Xing Mengwan and her forty-nine Demigods flew towards Jiang Yi. Xing Mo retreated to the high heavens before he smiled and said, “Lad, if you can break through Xing Mengwan’s formation, you will then be worthy enough to battle me.”
“Jiang Yi, you still have the opportunity to surrender. No one on the Stellarsky Domain can resist the Heaven Nether Sect. You still do not wish to repent? If… you wise up, I can still consider marrying down to you, making you the overall Thearch of the Stellarsky Domain. How’s that?”
Xing Mengwan brought the forty-nine Demigods and floated by like a Sacred Lady. This number-one beauty in the world was unrivaled in terms of looks, airs, and capabilities. Her words also seemed to carry a special magical power that could affect men’s hearts and minds.
One path led to death and destruction; the other led to a marriage with the number-one beauty of the world and becoming the overall Thearch of the Stellarsky Domain!
These two paths were as different as heaven and hell. Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed as he did not attack. He flew speedily towards Xing Mengwan as he asked, “I can become the overall Thearch? Between the Heaven Nether Sect and me, who will listen to whom?”
“Keke!”
Xing Mengwan’s body paused in mid-air as she gestured and the forty-nine Demigods behind her started to form up. She teased and said, “You still want to act coy with me now? Since you refuse to repent, I will have to send you to hell for eternity.”
“Is that so?”
Jiang Yi laughed coldly as the Ancient Divine Essence Ring in his hand lit up. Following that, a huge furnace appeared; and he started to furiously inject his essence force into it. He channeled all the powers of the stars in his body as the furnace started to light up and expand. It swiftly became a castle-sized huge furnace.
Buzz!
The runic patterns on the furnace started to move as the mysterious patterns on it started to swim. The lid of the furnace opened, and a black dragon soared forth. This black dragon was different from the Nirvana Flames the previous time; that dragon was pure black. This dragon, however, was black with a tinge of gold. Once it appeared in the high heavens, the snow and ice in a five-hundred-kilometer radius started to melt as steam rose and filled the skies.
“Withstand it!”
Numerous martial artists yelled. This temperature was too terrifying. No one bothered with the zombie soldiers and zombie beasts as they used all their essence force to augment their divine shields. Once their divine shields broke apart, they would be roasted alive.
“Smelting Divine Demon Flames? Jiang Yi, where did you get the power of the stars from?”
Xing Mengwan’s face became white as a sheet. Her formation this time was an offensive one; it was already too late for her to change it. Furthermore, even if she changed into a defensive formation, could it hold this attack?
She knew very well what the Smelting Divine Furnace was and was also clear on the power of the Smelting Divine Demon Flames. However, she did not expect Jiang Yi to be able to activate it. Jiang Yi had long ago lost the power of the stars. If his essence force did not attain the peak-stage Demigod level, it was impossible for him to use the Smelting Divine Demon Flames.
Little did she know!
Jiang Yi’s cultivation technique was very strange. Every time the star sphere in his dantian transformed, the Nine Heaven Stars would gift him the power of the stars. The last time he had broken through to the Demigod realm, heaven and earth had even given him three streaks of the power of the stars. Together with his essence force reaching the Demigod level, it was sufficient for him to use the Smelting Divine Furnace once.
“Die—”
Jiang Yi roared as his Fire Dragon Sword slashed and three fire dragons and the black dragon from the Smelting Divine Demon Flames surged forward all at once, enveloping Xing Mengwan and the forty-nine Demigods.
Bang!
Xing Mengwan’s body was blasted backward. Her mouth coughed out huge amounts of fresh blood while her face was extremely pale; she had obviously been mortally wounded.
Besides her, all the other forty-nine Heaven Nether Sect Demigods had all been turned into ashes; they did not even cry out once. The combined might of the Smelting Divine Demon Flames and the Divinity Slayer! Putting the forty-nine Demigods aside—even if it was forty-nine Beast Thearchs or Sword Thearchs, they would all die the same.
“Ahhh!”
Accompanying the forty-nine Demigods were many Tu Clan and Jian Clan members as well as countless low-grade zombie soldiers and zombie beasts. Similarly, many from the alliance army had also been roasted alive!
However…
Those who survived did not blame Jiang Yi at all. Instead, they perked up as their eyes glistened with hope.
The North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, and the Beast Thearch were dead; Xing Mengwan was severely wounded while all the Heaven Nether Sect Demigods had been burned to death. All that was left was Xing Mo. If Jiang Yi could kill Xing Mo, there was still a chance they could win today. The Stellarsky Domain could still be saved.
“Very good, not bad!”
The smile on Xing Mo’s face stiffened as he looked dotingly on Xing Mengwan that had fallen to the ground. His gaze suddenly became cold as he looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Lad… I have not grown used to this new body. I did not intend to kill you myself. Now… I will personally send you on your way. Last time, your soul spirit had been lucky and managed to escape. This time, I will definitely make you into my soul slave; you will never be able to free yourself!”
