As Shi Tian's words fell, the several figures behind him suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, causing the entire world to tremble. Streams of energy of various colors rose from their bodies, then surged towards the Underworld Palace like a tidal wave, carrying a terrifying killing intent. Hearing
Shi Tian's domineering laughter that echoed through the heavens and earth, and his vulgar and filthy words, which implied that she was already his possession, Medusa's killing intent erupted instantly without reservation, her eyes flashing with coldness.
Coldly watching the crowd rushing towards the Underworld Palace, Medusa showed no fear. With a sudden wave of her jade hand, a colorful energy wave rippled from her slender, white hand, followed by a cold shout from her lips.
"Activate the formation!"
As Medusa's shout rang out, a series of deep responses echoed around them. Five figures burst forth from the dark, eerie hall, taking their places in five positions before the Underworld Palace.
Two of these figures possessed wings of different colors fluttering behind them, their auras radiating without reservation; both were clearly Dou Huang level experts. The strongest of these emanated from a smaller, more delicate figure radiating purple light—this was none other than Zi Yan, who, after being nourished by Hun Changqing's various elixirs, had become a six-star Dou Huang within a year.
The other three figures stood in the void, all Dou Zong level experts: the previously captured Eagle Mountain Elder, who had voluntarily joined the Underworld Palace; another Dou Zong expert who had joined the Underworld Palace within the past year; and Hai Bodong.
Medusa floated among the five people, her seven-colored battle aura erupting unleashed instantly, filling the space before the Underworld Palace. She then took out a jade slip, and with a slight clench of her hand, it shattered into countless tiny fragments, which scattered throughout the Underworld Palace.
As these fragments disappeared into the dark ground, countless streams of Yin energy began to rise, swirling wildly around the entire palace. Screaming, ghostly howls emanated from the rampant Yin energy, which then swept towards the groups rushing towards the Underworld Palace.
Sensing the chilling Yin energy, the figures panicked, halting their movements and unleashing bursts of battle aura to try and stop it.
However, their battle aura was instantly decomposed and dissipated into the world upon contact with the Yin energy. Then, countless streams of Yin energy surged into their bodies.
Instantly, shrill screams echoed throughout the entire Underworld Palace. Those corrupted by the Yin energy cried out, their bodies turning a bluish-purple color. Wisps of black energy rose from their bodies, starting with their hair, dissolving and melting into a pool of black Yin water that spilled onto the ground of the Underworld Palace.
The previously arrogant Lion King froze upon witnessing this scene, his pupils contracting sharply. Sensing the Yin energy and the gruesome deaths of these Dou Zong experts, a sense of dread and unease rose within Lion King.
Such a ruthless attack even startled the usually savage and brutal Lion King, whose hands were covered in blood. His face darkened, and he coldly snorted, addressing the figures beside him,
"Gentlemen, the power of this formation is beyond the capabilities of those at the Dou Zong realm. It must have been set up by the Netherworld Venerable. Although we don't know why he hasn't shown himself yet, we are well-prepared. Today, we will surely destroy this Netherworld Palace. Let's attack together!"
The two figures standing beside Lion King, their eyes filled with fear at the sight before them, nodded silently upon hearing his words.
The three immediately spread out, forming a triangle, and the aura unique to Dou Zun experts erupted from them. Then, all three simultaneously struck down with their palms towards the Netherworld Palace, which was now ravaged by the eerie winds.
Three enormous palm prints instantly condensed in the air, surrounded by white mist formed from the overflowing energy. As the three hands fell, these three palm prints shattered the void and slammed towards Medusa and the others.
Medusa's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this. She dared not be careless in the slightest against these three palm prints; their power was terrifying. Medusa quickly formed a hand seal and pressed it hard against the ground.
Instantly, astonishing Yin energy surged from the ground, then condensed into a gigantic skull. Silver light flickered in the skull's empty eyes, and it opened its massive mouth, letting out a strange roar as it charged towards the three incoming palm prints.
Soon, the skull clashed with the palm prints, unleashing a terrifying wave of energy. A tremendous roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. As the two forces made contact, Lion Sky and the other two Dou Zun were relatively unharmed.
In contrast, Medusa and the other three Dou Zong let out a soft groan, feeling their blood surging within them, a metallic taste rising in their throats. Zi Yan, on the other hand, instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale. The other Dou Huang fared even worse, kneeling on one knee in the void, trembling all over, her body soaked in blood.
This formation was, after all, only set up by Hun Changqing when he had just advanced to Dou Zun, and now it was only being cast by Medusa and the other few Dou Zong and Dou Huang. Its power was not fully unleashed, and although their energy could be converted into Taiyin True Qi by the formation, it was far too scarce. Faced with the full force of these three Dou Zun, they were directly on the verge of collapse.
"Hahaha, how can a formation set up by a Dou Zun stop us three Dou Zun without a Dou Zun presiding over it? Let's break this formation in one fell swoop!"
Shi Tian laughed wildly once again. Then, the three of them once again activated their Dou Qi and launched an attack. Three terrifying Dou Qi burst forth from their bodies and then condensed into one in the air, shooting towards Medusa and the others.
Medusa stared at the incoming attack with an extremely ugly expression. She knew that this attack was probably too much for the formation to withstand. However, she did not panic. She snorted coldly, slowly turned around, bowed to the main hall, and said with slight respect.
"Old sir, Changqing is not here, we will have to trouble you to take action."
"Hehe, since little Changqing is not here, I will naturally guard this place for him."
As Medusa's voice fell, a soft laugh came from the hall, followed by a vast and powerful soul force that surged out of the hall. Then, a cold white flame spread from the void, sweeping across the sky.
A phantom figure slowly emerged from the white flame, its sharp light emanating from its deep eyes.
After meeting that sharp gaze for a moment, Shi Tian and the other two Dou Zun felt a stinging sensation in their eyes, causing them to quickly look away. Their hearts pounded violently at the sight of this suddenly appearing figure.
Especially after sensing that vast soul aura that they could not fathom, a strong sense of unease rose in their hearts, making them instantly panicked.
After a brief moment of panic, they remembered the Soul Hall Venerables who had come with them, and their hearts calmed down as if they had received a reassuring pill.
They realized that the suddenly appearing figure was merely a soul entity, and a soul entity encountering a Soul Hall Venerable was like a mouse encountering a cat. Reassured, the group turned their gaze to the two Soul Hall Venerables who had remained silent beside them.
"Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"
Upon seeing the white flames filling the sky, the two Soul Hall Venerables were initially taken aback. Then, a name flashed through their minds, causing them to exchange a strange glance. Both could see the eerie look in each other's eyes. Then, they simultaneously grinned, revealing sinister smiles, and looked at the illusory figure, letting out chilling laughter.
"Hehehehe..." You'll never believe why I moved to… DortmundMy life in emojis: ✈️, 🏄, 🍣, 🚵♂️ As that chilling, eerie laugh resounded through the heavens and earth, countless soul entities instantly swirled around them, emitting shrill screams that sent chills down one's spine.
One of the Soul Palace Venerables took a step forward, and accompanied by the wails of souls, black mist surged into the sky, sweeping across the surroundings.
"I really didn't expect this, Venerable Yao. The Soul Palace has been searching for you for so long without finding you, yet I, who only came to annihilate a Dou Zun force in a barren land, have encountered you. It's truly unexpected!"
Yao Chen also noticed the aura emanating from these two Dou Zun. Upon hearing their words, a series of scenes he would never forget flooded his mind.
Instantly, a crimson light flashed in his eyes, and the soul power and white flames permeating the surrounding sky surged wildly. A slightly trembling voice came from Yao Chen's mouth.
"Soul Palace!"
At that moment, Yao Chen's deep roar, filled with overwhelming hatred, instantly reached the ears of everyone present. However, the two Soul Hall Dou Zun ignored the soul aura emanating from Yao Chen. "
Hehehe, Yao Chen, if you were in your prime, we two would have left on sight without a word. But now, reduced to a mere soul, I wonder how many of our moves you can withstand?"
One of the Soul Hall Venerables chuckled sinisterly, his aura suddenly surging to its peak. Several pitch-black chains burst forth from the churning black mist behind him, shooting fiercely towards Yao Chen. The other Soul Hall Venerable also unleashed his own dark Dou Qi, joining the attack.
"You inhuman, ghostly creatures, one day, I will annihilate you all!"
Seeing the attack sweeping towards him, Yao Chen roared, raising both hands sharply. The white flames that filled the sky surged and condensed into countless eerie white fire spears, which swept towards the two Soul Hall Venerables. "
Hmph, let's see if you can survive today." The Soul Palace Venerable scoffed at Yao
Chen's arrogant boasting, letting out a cold snort before continuing to activate the Soul Palace's secret technique for suppressing souls, aiming towards Yao Chen.
In an instant, the battle between the two Soul Palace Venerables and Yao Chen formed a second battlefield. Terrifying energy surged continuously, isolating everyone present. This meant that Medusa and the others would now have to face Lion Heaven and his companions alone.
Lion Heaven, watching the soul entity locked in a fierce battle with the two Soul Palace Venerables, grinned at Medusa, revealing his gleaming white teeth, a ferocious smile spreading across his face.
"Your Majesty, you've run out of trump cards, haven't you? What are you going to do now? Why not obediently submit to me? That way you'll suffer less, hahaha!" Hearing Lionheart's arrogant laughter, Medusa
's cold face remained unchanged. Looking at Yao Chen, who was being held back by the two Soul Palace Venerables, her last shred of hope vanished. Medusa stood proudly in the void, her graceful figure accentuated to its fullest, and spoke calmly,
"It's nothing more than a fight to the death."
Hearing Medusa's words, Lionheart's face darkened instantly, a gnashing of teeth escaping his lips.
"You won't listen to reason! Medusa, you're quite something. After I capture you, I'll definitely treat you well!" "
Lion Sky roared, signaling the other two to attack together. A surge of violent battle energy rushed towards Medusa once more, striking the energy barrier formed by the yin energy within the formation.
As the attack landed, Medusa felt an unparalleled impact on her body, causing her to cough up a mouthful of bright red blood. Her delicate body trembled violently. Medusa gritted her teeth, using one hand to maintain her connection with the formation and the other to wipe the blood from her mouth, muttering something under her breath."
"Beast, if you don't come back soon, today will be..."
At this moment, a dark figure appeared in Medusa's mind. The figure's face always wore a sinister and terrifying smile, even more chilling and evil than the two Venerables of the Soul Hall. Medusa bit her red lips lightly. She didn't know if she would have the chance to see this figure again.
At this moment, in the spatial passage in the sky, Gu Xun'er and Gu Ming still looked down indifferently, completely unmoved by what was happening below. It didn't stir up the slightest ripple in their hearts. However, when Gu Ming noticed the battlefield between Yao Chen and the Soul Hall, his expression finally changed slightly. He shook his head slightly and said,
"The Soul Hall, or rather the Soul Clan's techniques, are truly extraordinary in their ability to restrain soul bodies. A mere four-star Dou Zun and a five-star Dou Zun are actually able to suppress this soul body. In front of these two, this soul body can't even exert 30% or 40% of its strength when it fought me before."
"If that brat doesn't show up soon, with these two Soul Hall Battle Venerables constantly attrition with each other, this soul entity, which can't fight for long, will probably perish here today." Hearing
Gu Ming's words, Gu Xun'er's face also showed signs of frustration. The battle had reached this point, and Hun Changqing still hadn't appeared. This proved that Hun Changqing was indeed not in the Underworld Palace, confirming that Gu Xun'er's premonition over the past year was correct—Hun Changqing might have really been in some dangerous situation. For a moment, Gu Xun'er was extremely anxious.
"Damn it, where did you go? Didn't you know to bring powerful combat forces when going to dangerous places, instead leaving him here to guard this damned woman! It seems I can't leave you out here any longer. Once I find you this time, I'll take you back!" "
Gu Xun'er thought fiercely to herself, then turned her gaze to Medusa, who was on the verge of collapse on another battlefield. The cold light in Gu Xun'er's eyes almost solidified at this moment.
"Elder Gu Ming, that woman is about to be defeated. Don't let her be captured by those Dou Zun. Kill that woman in a moment, and kill those Dou Zun as well." "
Gu Xun'er coldly said to Gu Ming. Gu Xun'er also saw through Shi Tian's intentions towards Medusa. Although Gu Xun'er loathed Medusa,
Medusa was ultimately Hun Changqing's woman. Gu Xun'er would never allow anyone to touch Hun Changqing's things. That would not only disgust Hun Changqing, but also herself. She only needed Medusa to die obediently, and those who dared to covet Hun Changqing's things deserved to die as well.
After coldly uttering these words, Gu Xun'er was already planning to return to her clan and mobilize the power of the Gu clan to begin searching for Hun Changqing's whereabouts. Just as she was about to leave,
she suddenly heard a familiar, extremely cold voice resounding from the battlefield below, and the Taiyin True Qi suddenly surging wildly in the battlefield.
"Hehehe, how interesting. Went out for a bit, and came back to find the house almost gone."
The chilling voice sent a shiver down everyone's spine, making their hair stand on end. An indescribable fear welled up within them, and even Gu Xun'er, who was about to leave, abruptly stopped. All eyes were fixed on the dark figure that was gradually emerging at the center of the bursting silver light.
