Chapter 477 On the Brink

At this moment, the once-clear sky suddenly grew dark.

Vast, heavy, pitch-black clouds blotted out all light, plunging the world into an instantaneous night.

An incredibly oppressive aura spread wantonly.

“Something’s wrong!”

Li Baozhou said coldly.

Even without his warning, the strange phenomenon had already put everyone on high alert.

“Li Baozhou… it’s been a while.”

A burst of maniacal laughter suddenly echoed from the city ruins.

SWISH!

The next moment, a dark figure shot out from the city ruins and hovered in mid-air.

He was a man with near-perfect features and a malevolent, crazed aura. Dressed in a wide black robe, he looked at Li Baozhou, Han Yuan, and the others with a strange smile.

“Nether Dragon… so you’ve finally shown yourself.”

Li Baozhou stared at the sinister man, his gaze instantly turning cold.

Hearing this, even Han Yuan began to study the madman carefully.

‘So this is the Grand High Priest of the Immortal Sect Organization, and the descendant of its founder… Nether Dragon?!’

As Han Yuan observed more closely, he realized Li Baozhou hadn’t been wrong.

The man’s facial features bore a slight resemblance to the statue standing in the ruined city’s square.

Especially the eyes.

The Immortal Sect founder’s eyes were filled with a cold madness.

Nether Dragon’s, on the other hand, were sinister to the point of insanity.

Their crazed auras were nearly identical.

“Hahaha!”

“I greeted you the first time you came, but I felt the timing wasn’t quite right, so I had to restrain myself.”

“Now, the time has finally come.”

Nether Dragon laughed, tilting his head to the sky.

“Just you alone? Do you think you can stop all of us?”

“Where are the other High Priests of your Immortal Sect Organization?”

Liang Ze demanded coldly.

“Them… I’ve already eaten them.”

“To be honest… they tasted quite good.”

Nether Dragon wore a look of relish.

Everyone was stunned speechless by Nether Dragon’s explanation.

Who could have possibly expected such an answer?

“So, you’re saying… you’re the only one left in the Immortal Sect Organization?”

Li Baozhou narrowed his eyes.

“Of course not… I’ve prepared a little surprise for you.”

“Come out!”

“My darling!”

Nether Dragon let out a long cry.

RUMBLE!!!

Instantly, the entire ruined city began to tremble.

An ugly, terrifying ghost head burst from the city ruins.

It was followed by an incredibly bizarre, cold body. Its left half was covered in dark, heavy, metallic-looking feathers, while its right half was devoid of flesh, revealing only dim gray bones. A rooster’s head with crimson eyes protruded from its lower abdomen.

When this Ghost stood up completely, it was over a hundred meters tall. A dark aura surged around its body, and within its howling winds, one could faintly hear countless wails of anguish.

“Guard your Heart Spirits!”

“Divine might of heaven and earth, glorious thunder!”

Zhang Cang seemed to realize something and let out a thunderous shout.

Nothing changed in the physical world, but in the minds of the others, a peal of thunder rang out of nowhere.

RUMBLE!!!

In that instant, it felt as if something had been shattered within everyone’s Heart Spirits by the clap of thunder.

This was Zhang Cang’s Heart Thunder Skill.

He had sensed that the moment the Source Seed Monster appeared, it had begun to emit an invisible mental pollution.

If he hadn’t shattered this mental pollution, they might have been blindsided by it during the heat of battle, causing them to lose control.

“A little interesting.” Nether Dragon glanced at Zhang Cang, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected this fellow’s Thunder Technique to be so powerful that it could instantly disperse the mental pollution emitted by the Source Seed Monster.

Everyone shot Zhang Cang a grateful look, then focused their attention and guarded their Heart Spirits.

Once their focus sharpened and their minds were highly concentrated, they would not be so easily polluted.

Especially with Zhang Cang letting out a powerful shout every now and then.

“This Source Seed Monster… it seems to be a fusion of many smaller Source Seed Monsters… It even has some characteristics of the Immortal Sect High Priests.”

“It looks like that madman Nether Dragon really did slaughter all those Immortal Sect High Priests.”

Li Baozhou said in a low voice, gazing at the Source Seed Monster.

“A true madman indeed…”

Han Yuan chuckled, his expression revealing an excited battle lust.

“Come on, then…”

“I’ve been longing for this moment for a long time, too.”

Nether Dragon roared back, equally excited.

If it weren’t for waiting for all of them to gather, he would have attacked long ago to have his decisive battle with Li Baozhou and Han Yuan.

“Kill!”

Without hesitation, Li Baozhou drew a Golden Divine Sword!

VMMMM!

The moment the Divine Sword was drawn, it erupted with infinite divine light like a Great Sun, illuminating everything.

It was as if even the dark sky was being dispersed at that moment.

He leaped into the air, suddenly appearing before Nether Dragon and slashing down with his sword!

This strike carried an aura of great light and the immense conviction to sunder the darkness!

A white-flamed sword beam, dozens of meters long, instantly formed and came slashing down furiously!

Nether Dragon’s eyes began to spin slowly, like black holes.

Floating in mid-air, he faced Li Baozhou’s attack and spread his arms wide!

Behind him, a twisted, irregular black hole suddenly appeared. Countless dark, withered Ghost Claws frantically shot out from it, grabbing at the white-flamed sword beam!

The Ghost Claws carried an indescribable, corrupting aura and pulsed with black light. They instantly tore the white-flamed sword beam to shreds.

“Li Baozhou, you’re still the same! You haven’t improved at all!”

Nether Dragon stared at Li Baozhou, opened his mouth wide, and let out a terrifying roar!

BOOM!!!

A terrifying sonic wave erupted in an instant. Li Baozhou felt a violent cannon of air slam into him, and his body was sent flying back.
