“There’s a little human rat here? Die!” roared the fourth-stage Devil God as he sent a wave of energy gushing toward Xiang Shaoyun.
The energy took the form of a palm that threatened to rip the world apart. Without the Devil God caring about the nearby devils, the palm shot toward Xiang Shaoyun, destroying everything in its path.
When Xiang Shaoyun sensed the unstoppable attack coming toward him, he released the two-headed lion devil unhesitatingly. The two-headed lion devil was a peak second-stage Devil God. He might be weaker than the fourth-stage Devil God, but he was still strong enough to buy Xiang Shaoyun some time.
The two-headed lion devil attacked without holding anything back. The two attacks collided, creating a massive explosion. Many surrounding devils were caught up in the explosion and were pulverized. Xiang Shaoyun was trying his best to flee, but even he was sent flying by the explosion, and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Sky Measuring Step!
His soul clone flew out, wrapped its aura around the main body, and sped toward the entrance as fast as possible. The Sky Measuring Step performed exceptionally well as a god-grade footwork technique should, with Xiang Shaoyun’s comprehension of footwork intent further enhancing the footwork technique. He instantly crossed a large distance and reached the entrance.
The fourth-stage Devil God had not expected the two-headed lion devil to suddenly appear in his way. As he hadn’t attacked with all his strength, the two-headed lion devil was able to stop his attack. He roared furiously, “Lion, have you gone mad?”
The fourth-stage Devil God attacked the two-headed lion devil, and the two-headed lion devil met him head on, ensuring Xiang Shaoyun’s safe retreat. At this moment, Xiang Shaoyun was moving as fast as an actual God. Just as he was about to go through the entrance, another Devil God appeared and surrounded him with devilish energy.
Fortunately, the new attacker was only a second-stage Devil God and wasn’t too much for Xiang Shaoyun to handle. The Yin Mother Sword appeared in his hand as he unleashed a slash with all his strength, shattering the incoming attack.
The collision caused Xiang Shaoyun’s blood to stir, but he gritted his teeth and continued to escape. Ultimately, the Devil God failed to stop Xiang Shaoyun from leaving. The Devil God decided to continue chasing him into the dominion, determined to kill Xiang Shaoyun.
Although the bone mirror had exposed Xiang Shaoyun and removed his concealment, Xiang Shaoyun escaped the mirror’s effect the moment he left the mirror’s range. The moment he entered the dominion, he was safe.
The pursuing Devil God immediately received the care of the human Gods watching over the entrance, allowing Xiang Shaoyun to escape smoothly. Instead of returning to his encampment, Xiang Shaoyun soared high into the sky for a short rest before doing anything else.
High in the sky, his clone and main body reunited. He activated the profundity of life, healing his injuries rapidly as he sighed, “My two-headed lion devil. What a pity.”
The two-headed lion devil was a Devil God almost as strong as Chi Duo. In order to cover his retreat, the two-headed lion devil probably hadn’t survived. There wasn’t much Xiang Shaoyun could do about it. No matter how useful the two-headed lion devil could be, his own life was more important.
“Before long, the Diabolic Dragon Clan will launch a large-scale invasion from this entrance. I need to let the world know about this, or it will be a calamity to the dominion,” decided Xiang Shaoyun as he prepared to let the Guardians Guild know of what he had learned. He believed that the Guardians Guild would react appropriately. But as soon as he removed his invisibility, he sensed an aura lock onto him.
“Hehe, my efforts have paid off,” a soft voice rang out. Strands of God Realm energy manifested all around Xiang Shaoyun, sealing the space around him.
When Xiang Shaoyun found that he couldn’t detect the newcomer, he realized that it had to be a God. When he looked toward the source of the voice, he saw a tall and thin figure. It was none other than Eunuch Dong of the Di Clan.
A blue cloak was draped over Eunuch Dong’s shoulders, and his narrow eyes were akin to the eyes of a viper. His slender and spotlessly white palms appeared even more beautiful than the palms of actual women. He looked at Xiang Shaoyun like he was looking at prey, making it clear that he wasn’t about to allow Xiang Shaoyun to escape.
Xiang Shaoyun calmly asked, “Are you here to kill me?”
“For ruining our clan’s plan, you must die,” said Eunuch Dong with a sneer. “But since you have a decent physique, I have decided to make you my clone instead. Hahaha!”
He abruptly clawed at Xiang Shaoyun, and his palm instantly arrived before Xiang Shaoyun’s throat. His sinister fingernails were akin to the sharpest of weapons and were powerful enough to instantly kill Xiang Shaoyun.
“Are you strong enough to kill me?” asked Xiang Shaoyun with a sneer as he released his Imperial Nether Domain and enveloped Eunuch Dong within it. Both Chi Duo and the ape devil called Yuan Gang appeared at the same time and charged toward Eunuch Dong.
Before this, Xiang Shaoyun would have definitely feared a God like Eunuch Dong. Now that he had God Realm puppets, he was now less afraid of Gods.
Chi Duo and Yuan Gang might have lower cultivation levels, but as devils, which were generally stronger than humans of the same cultivation level, they were extraordinarily talented.
Meanwhile, Eunuch Dong was completely stunned. Who would have imagined that Xiang Shaoyun could pull out two Devil Gods out of nowhere? To make matters worse, the Imperial Nether Domain’s suppression had weakened him considerably as well.
“You’re a devil spy! You must be a spy!” Eunuch Dong exclaimed in alarm.
Xiang Shaoyun couldn’t even be bothered to reply. He had the two Devil Gods bombard Eunuch Dong with attacks, not giving Eunuch Dong a chance to escape.
“Since I’ve lost myself the two-headed lion devil, you’ll do well as a replacement,” muttered Xiang Shaoyun as he sent his lotus soul foundation over to suppress Eunuch Dong.
Eunuch Dong was no pushover. The Nine Yin Spirit Claw Technique he cultivated was extremely powerful. He did not take much time to leave numerous bloody claw marks on his two opponents.
“You want to keep me here? Dream on!” roared Eunuch Dong with his high-pitched voice as he shrouded his body with layers of baleful energy. He then charged the Imperial Nether Domain’s boundary, leaving a trail of blue light in his path. With his sharp fingernails, he clawed at the boundary.
As someone in the third stage of the Rebirth Realm, Eunuch Dong had some resistance against the Imperial Nether Domain’s suppressive effect. If he focused only on escaping, it would be hard for Xiang Shaoyun to prevent the escape.
However, Xiang Shaoyun was unwilling to let Eunuch Dong escape so easily. Thus, his soul clone appeared before Eunuch Dong and swung the Yin Mother Sword at him.
Instant Tempo!
