Chapter 503: Chapter 228: Continuous Breakthroughs! Slaying a Taboo Figure

The entire area around Qianling City was in chaos.

Not only was an endless tide of darkness pressing in, but it was an oppressive, inky blackness that seemed to crush everything in its path.

Within the tide, countless monsters lurked.

All sorts of sinister and bizarre cries echoed from every direction.

Although blood talismans had been posted all around Qianling City, keeping the monsters at bay, the oppressive darkness still created the illusion of an impending apocalypse.

Amidst this endless darkness.

Two battlefields raged with exceptional ferocity, the sounds of combat thundering and deafening.

One was the battlefield of the City Lord, Feng Wuji.

The other was the battlefield of Chu Shanhe and Xue Wanchuan.

On both battlefields, the combatants were using every trick at their disposal.

Feng Wuji was shaking the Ten Thousand Souls Banner without regard for the cost.

A deafening RUMBLE filled the air as the heavens seemed to fall and the earth to crack, blotting out the sun and moon.

Countless black rays shot out in all directions, shredding everything they touched.

The old village chief of the Qin family Village, Qin Xiong, wore an icy expression as he brandished a white bone sword, hacking at Feng Wuji again and again.

The bone sword in his hand was surprisingly formidable.

It was crafted from an extraordinary material.

The powerful light bursting from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was continuously cleaved apart by that white bone sword.

Qin Xiong alone was fighting Feng Wuji to a standstill.

More critically, there were the sneak attacks from the giant roc.

The massive roc’s shadow hid within the thick darkness, its cruel eyes glowing scarlet. From time to time, it would lash out with its sharp talons, clawing at Feng Wuji’s back.

This infuriated Feng Wuji.

Several times, he nearly fell for the Black Roc’s ploy.

On the other side, Chu Shanhe and Xue Wanchuan were not faring well either.

The earthen-yellow giant wore a savage grin, its entire body shrouded in an overwhelming, destructive aura. It continuously swatted at the two of them with its massive hands.

No matter what techniques the pair used, they could hardly block its attacks.

The absolute difference in their power was like an unbridgeable chasm.

"You two juniors. When I made my name, you weren’t even born. And now you dare to act so presumptuously before me? Crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant—and just as unsatisfying."

The earthen-yellow giant’s voice was cruel as it continued to swing its massive hands, swatting at them relentlessly.

It forced the two of them to retreat again and again, dodging frantically.

Finally, with a furious expression, Chu Shanhe plunged both his hands into the ground.

"Nine Mountains Return to Dust!"

"Earth Veins Reverse Thrust!"

RUMBLE!

He had directly activated a Forbidden Technique. The entire earth trembled, and nine enormous, illusory mountain ranges materialized around the earthen-yellow giant. They were hazy and quivering, radiating a powerful, destructive aura.

They suddenly converged on the giant’s body, forming a unique domain that began to crush it with all its might.

At the same time, he detonated the earth veins. With a BOOM, they transformed into a blazing, earthen-yellow dragon that viciously slammed into the giant’s body.

"An ant is just an ant! How dare you try to shake the might of the heavens!"

The earthen-yellow giant roared, its voice cold as ice.

The aura around its entire body grew even more terrifying.

A layer of earthen-yellow divine fire seemed to ignite around it, leaping violently. With a sudden tremor and a deafening BOOM, it shattered all nine mountain ranges.

Then, it slapped its massive hand against the earthen-yellow dragon formed from the earth veins. With a CRACK, the dragon’s head exploded, and a destructive aura swept out in all directions.

It strode forward, charging at Chu Shanhe and his companion once more.

The entire area was in utter chaos.

Countless buildings were destroyed.

「At the same time.」

The Nine Heavens Elder was also fleeing rapidly, his body enveloped in a layer of flowing light that pierced through the darkness as he escaped into the distance in a panic.

Along the way, countless Demons and Monsters in the darkness let out sharp, eerie laughs and lunged for the Nine Heavens Elder, but he simply barreled through them, sending them flying.

Behind him.

was the woman in the green robe, her face cold and her skin the color of wheat.

She was pursuing him at a leisurely pace.

Her steps were like a casual stroll, and though she didn’t seem fast, it was as if she could shrink the ground with every stride, constantly closing the distance to the Nine Heavens Elder.

"You old piece of trash, where do you think you can run? Stop. Telling me where Chen Xuan is is your only choice. Otherwise, I have countless ways to make you wish you were dead!"

Her chilling voice was devoid of any emotion.

It reached the Nine Heavens Elder’s ears, one word after another.

The Nine Heavens Elder’s face was deathly pale as he fled single-mindedly into the thick darkness.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of resisting.

It was that he was completely incapable of it.

His full-powered attacks passed right through her body.

’How am I supposed to fight that?’

"Stop chasing me! If you push me too far, I’ll take you down with me!"

the Nine Heavens Elder shouted as he fled at top speed toward his lair.

He had left countless killing formations inside his lair.

Once he returned, he could use the power of those formations. Even if he couldn’t kill her, he could at least trap her.

For the rest, he could only leave it to fate.

Never before had the Nine Heavens Elder been so desperate.

"Take me down with you?"

Hua Yuerong’s expression was glacial as she continued to walk forward, step by step. "A piece of trash like you thinks you can take me down with you? Even if I gave you the chance to self-destruct, you wouldn’t be able to do it!"

Her body was shrouded in a layer of eerie black light. She still seemed to be strolling casually, but her speed suddenly increased by twenty or thirty percent.

She was just about to catch up to the Nine Heavens Elder.

when the darkness in the distance suddenly began to dissipate.
