Rumble rumble…
Thunder rolled on without end. Ju Yang Immortal Zombie breathed in and out ten thousand golden clouds of radiance, Star Constellation Immortal Venerable blazed with brilliant starlight, and Fang Yuan's various killing moves swept across the battlefield.
The entire world shook ceaselessly, as though it were a giant flatbread — mountains, rivers, and streams were constantly being obliterated. In such a battlefield, even the Three Great Worlds had been reduced to ingredients on a chopping board.
Fang Yuan's expression was blank. He lightly blew a breath, and countless strands of sword qi flew out like clouds, blocking the starlight. Then he slowly pushed forward with his hand, and another killing move surged forth like a divine wind of dragon and tiger, howling as it went.
Between attack and defense, Fang Yuan was hemmed in on all sides.
He carried too many Dao Marks on his body, and his killing moves were too powerful. He could only pick the weakest techniques to use.
In truth, despite the fierce and spectacular clash between the three, both Ju Yang Immortal Zombie and Star Constellation Immortal Venerable were just as constrained as Fang Yuan.
This place was not like the Origin Domain. In the Origin Domain, one could fight freely. But here, this was, after all, the eighth layer's Great World. The Mad Demon Grand Formation still needed the Great World to serve as its thread and fuel, and if they destroyed this place, they would inevitably face retaliation from Wu Ji Demon Venerable.
"It doesn't matter, though — as long as I keep Star Constellation Immortal Venerable occupied." Fang Yuan was happy to accept this situation.
Previously, he and Ju Yang Immortal Zombie had been delayed within the Mad Demon Grand Formation, which allowed the Heavenly Court to achieve a great victory in the Great World. Now that they had returned, the entire situation had undergone a dramatic shift. Fang Yuan and Ju Yang Immortal Zombie joined forces to hold off Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, while Zhan Bu Du and the others launched their counterattacks.
Waves of qi surged and roared as Qi Jue Demon Immortal dominated the battlefield. Above his head hovered the incomplete phantom of Xi Land as he once again faced the combination of Seven Evil Origin Lord and Sha Bi Ninety-five.
Sha Bi Ninety-five roared toward the heavens and turned to fight.
"Immortal-level killing move — Xi Xi!"
Qi Jue Demon Immortal had already gathered sufficient power and now unleashed his strongest technique. Sha Bi Ninety-five's qi-path killing move was directly devoured by Xi Land, bolstering Qi Jue Demon Immortal's foundation. Sha Bi Ninety-five retreated in alarm. Had Xi Land not been incomplete — reduced to only thirty percent — even Sha Bi Ninety-five would have lost part of its body, devoured by Xi Land.
"Senior, let me lend you a hand!" At this critical moment, an immortal Gu house shaped like a tombstone charged into the fray. It was Gu Yue Fang Zheng commanding the Demon Slaying Board.
"Immortal-level killing move — Blood Draining Divine Light!"
A crimson blood-red pillar of light pierced through heaven and earth, blasting toward Qi Jue Demon Immortal.
"Had my Xi Land not been incomplete, reduced to only thirty percent…" Qi Jue Demon Immortal's form drifted and scattered, evading this magnificent attack.
And just then, a wall of qi suddenly unfurled, stretching from earth nearly to heaven, suppressing several Heavenly Court Gu Immortals. It was Qi Hai Old Ancestor making his move. Above his own head also hovered a phantom of a Heaven and Earth Secret Realm — Hu Land. Using Hu Land as his core, he unleashed various qi-path killing moves of extraordinary power, vast and majestic. The qi wall killing move was originally limited to a defensive posture, but Qi Hai Old Ancestor did the opposite, spreading it outward to entrap the enemy.
Such imposing power drew even Qi Jue Demon Immortal's sidelong glance. He studied Hu Land especially carefully, evaluating inwardly: "Truly worthy of being the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm that stands equal to Xi Land. Xi Land excels at devouring and absorbing, while Hu Land specializes in expelling and infusing. If both domains were collected together, complementing each other in a perfect cycle…"
Bang bang bang.
On the other side, Zhan Bu Du, draped in a blood-red cape, streaked through the air like a bolt of crimson lightning. Wherever he went, Heavenly Court Gu Immortals were beaten so badly they scrambled to find their teeth.
Qing Chou had already been destroyed by Qi Hai Old Ancestor's Hu Ang killing move. Even if it were reborn, it would need a long recovery period within the God Emperor City and would be unable to return to the battlefield for some time. Without Qing Chou, and with Star Constellation Immortal Venerable unable to use her full power, the thick-skinned and tough-bodied Zhan Bu Du once again became a headache for all of the Heavenly Court!
Zhan Bu Du tore through the air, closing in on Lord Mei.
"Lord Mei, watch out!" Lord Tong rushed over from a distance, shouting in alarm.
Lord Mei's hair bristled with fury: "Junior, don't you dare be so arrogant!"
He activated his strongest technique — his eyebrows and hair danced together, instantly growing to span several zhang. The hair was white as snow, usable for both offense and defense, sometimes rigid and sometimes flexible. Its clever continuous force actually managed to trap the fiercely charging Zhan Bu Du.
Zhan Bu Du felt extremely frustrated. All of his brute strength was being diverted and neutralized, leaving him seething with pent-up energy. He immediately opened his mouth and roared. Yellow thunder erupted from his shout, destroying the countless strands of hair around him with devastating force. One of the components of the Freedom Incomplete Transformation killing move was the Thunder-chasing Yellow Bird Transformation. This technique possessed the sharp ability to shoot yellow lightning, and when Zhan Bu Du used it now, its power was multiplied several times over.
Zhan Bu Du broke through the obstruction, surged to Lord Mei's front, and threw a direct punch. Lord Mei's killing move was shattered, and the backlash left him exposed. He dodged a fraction too slow, and his brains splattered as his head fell to the ground like a watermelon, shattering apart.
Lord Mei fell in battle, but his void orifice — carrying various Gu insects, immortal essence, and immortal essence stones — shot toward the Immortal Tomb. Zhan Bu Du tried to grab it, but the void orifice was intangible and tangible at once, slipping through his palm and flying straight away.
Seeing Lord Mei die right before his eyes, Lord Tong flew into a rage and screamed: "Demon, surrender your life!"
His muscles bulged across his entire body, gleaming with a brass sheen. Fist shadows flew in every direction, each punch shattering the air with a sharp whistling sound, his momentum terrifying.
Zhan Bu Du let out a savage grin: "Good — bring it on."
