Chapter 648: The Pierce of 1 Sword

Chapter 648 -647: The Pierce of 1 Sword

After Yi Tianyun transformed into the Evil God, his gaze sharpened to a fine point. With a flick of his hands, the Celestial Nether Divine Sword landed in his grasp, and the Black Flame wings on his back instantly vanished. He immediately poured all of their power into the Celestial Nether Divine Sword in his hands, instantly lighting up the Divine Runes on the blade. It was a dazzling sight!

“Shatter!”

Yi Tianyun stomped forward, cracking the ground beneath his foot. He angled his body slightly and hurled the sword toward the Celestial Nether Saint King. It moved so fast that it became a streak of black light, whistling through the air. The Black Flame enveloping it bloomed in the air like a beautiful black rose.

But the power of this black rose was terrifying beyond anything seen before. When fully channeled into the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, it displayed a horrifying amount of Combat Power—as high as seventeen billion!

Building on his peak Spirit King Stage cultivation, he unleashed sixteen times the damage, which was then stacked with the Evil God Set, immediately erupting with seventeen billion Combat Power. It was enough to make one’s heart tremble.

If an ordinary Saint King or Spirit King Stage expert had been standing nearby, they would have been instantly pierced through and burned to ashes! As it was, the piercing force threatened to burn away the very Void. The surrounding walls, under this scorching flame, were incinerated inch by inch. The terrifying power made the Celestial Nether Saint Master’s pupils shrink as a sense of crisis welled up from deep within him.

“Hold!”

The Celestial Nether Saint King’s hands flew as he rapidly formed hand seals. The Divine Artifact within his body promptly burst forth with even greater power, manifesting layer after layer of defenses around him. They were several times stronger than the ones he had used to block the three ancestors. Clearly, this was him truly unleashing his strongest defensive effect; before, he had only been using half his strength.

Now that he sensed the crisis, he immediately unleashed his full power, wanting to block Yi Tianyun’s terrifying attack. He had a premonition that if he didn’t, he himself would be pierced through!

He didn’t have the Eye of Investigation, so he didn’t know how strong the attack truly was; his only option was to strengthen his defenses. He desperately wanted to dodge or block it with some other power, but he couldn’t do that right now.

The moment he moved, it would be difficult to continue absorbing the souls. Once the connection was severed, the three ancestors would surely return to suppress this place and stop him from absorbing any more.

“Such a strong defense… To think that when he was fighting the three of us, he was only using half his strength. He was looking down on us…” The three ancestors’ faces darkened. They had used every trick in the book, yet their opponent had only used half his power. Wasn’t that the ultimate form of contempt?

In reality, he *was* looking down on them. The three ancestors’ coordination was indeed seamless, but their cultivation was still too low. There’s a saying that a higher rank is enough to crush a man. Here, being just one cultivation level higher was enough to crush the three of them!

No matter how strong their teamwork was, if the gap in cultivation was too large, it still couldn’t be bridged.

Yet, these powerful defenses, upon contact with the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, were pierced through layer by layer. It was as easy as piercing thin sheets of paper. They were punctured one after another without the slightest resistance. In fact, the Black Flame on the sword began to burn wildly, incinerating the thick Defense Shields into ash!

The Spiritual Power of the Defense Shield acted like an accelerant. Instead of weakening the Black Flame, it caused it to burn even more furiously.

“How can this be…” The Celestial Nether Saint King’s expression changed. He thought he could block it for at least a moment, but who would have known it couldn’t be blocked at all?

The next moment, his only choice was to dodge. He tried to sidestep, but he was a step too slow. The Celestial Nether Divine Sword pierced toward his arm. He subconsciously tried to block it with his palm, and the Divine Artifact Armor on his body likewise released a surge of energy to resist the tyrannical force.

Who would have thought it would pierce through his palm anyway? The terrifying Black Flame instantly spread across his entire body, burning uncontrollably. As for the Celestial Nether Divine Sword, after passing through his hand, it continued onward, piercing into the wall behind him until it vanished from sight completely.

The power of that single throw could have pierced the heavens, and the tyrannical Black Flame could corrode anything!

“This flame… be suppressed!” the Celestial Nether Saint King grunted. His surging Celestial Yin Fire quickly moved to suppress it. Although he eventually succeeded, his entire arm had been burned to a crisp, a testament to just how terrifying the Black Flame was.

In that moment of evasion, his absorption of the souls was immediately cut off, and he could no longer continue. Without an external force drawing them out, the souls of the Evil Spirits couldn’t emerge from the seal and could only roar from the bottom of the abyss.

“Charge!”

The three ancestors, quick to react, immediately lunged toward the seal, wanting to seal the Evil Spirit Race away once more. But by then, Yi Tianyun had already arrived, standing by the fissure. He said calmly, “Leave this to me.”

He then reached out and threw a terrifying ball of Black Flame down into the fissure. It burned endlessly, and agonizing screams immediately echoed from below. Without a doubt, the long-suppressed Evil Spirit Race was being rapidly incinerated and destroyed!

‘What terrifying Black Flame… Just what kind of power is this?’ The three ancestors were utterly shocked. The astonishment they felt today was greater than all the shocks of their entire lives combined.

‘Is such a heaven-defying expert really a human? And not the descendant of some Divine King?’

‘The Divine Envoy… he’s too strong. How on earth does he cultivate?’ Bai Shuihuang was also shocked beyond words, not knowing what to say.

“Clan Leader…” Elder Feng came down at that moment. The horrified look on his face had already told Bai Shuihuang everything she needed to know. “The many experts of the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom… they were indeed all killed…”

His answer wasn’t unexpected. Yi Tianyun hadn’t been lying; he hadn’t lied from the very beginning. It was just that they hadn’t believed him.

That last attack with the sword had forced them to believe it was all true—that Yi Tianyun had really killed every single expert from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom up above.

“Damn it!” The Celestial Nether Saint Master’s arm recovered rapidly. New flesh grew back at a speed visible to the naked eye, even a bit faster than Supreme Emperor Qianyuan’s recovery rate.

Such a frightening Healing Ability was truly astonishing.

“It’s a shame. I’ve ruined your plan. But it looks like you’ve already absorbed quite a few souls.” Yi Tianyun watched him coldly. Although he had severed the connection to the souls, the Celestial Nether Saint King had absorbed far too many—at least more than half of them. Otherwise, his cultivation couldn’t have improved so quickly.

“I have to admit, you are the most powerful human I have ever met… No, I should say that among the humans of this era, you are the most powerful existence. I never expected the Phoenix Race to have the support of such an expert. This is truly beyond my expectations!” The Celestial Nether Saint Master’s expression was terrifyingly grim. He had also heard what Elder Feng said—that everyone else from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom had been killed!

Now, he was all alone. His chances of victory had plummeted, and his plan was essentially in ruins!
