Chapter 1769: Send You to the Afterlife
Gu w.a.n.g was a Three Revolutions expert. If he intentionally attacked the human army, who could stop him? He also had a powerful alien army at his disposal. Xiang Shaoyun was strong enough, but that did not mean he could protect every single human.
The humans realized that the scope of the fight had far exceeded their expectations. They needed to move farther away to not be hit by stray attacks. The aliens did not wish to let the human go, so they gave chase.
Xiang Shaoyun stood before them and coldly said, "Today, I"ll learn from my master and stop all of you alone."
He then released his Imperial Nether Domain. The domain was ma.s.sive, instantly trapping many of the aliens who were ahead of the alien army. Xiang Shaoyun"s domain was extremely terrifying. As it spread, even Gu w.a.n.g failed to escape it.
"You can go peacefully to the afterlife," said Xiang Shaoyun mercilessly as he sent his nine-colored lotus cras.h.i.+ng toward the aliens.
Boom!
Two primal divine stones had been fused with the nine-colored lotus foundation, so it had been enhanced to a terrifying level. Not even a nine-revolutions weapon could compare with it. As the lotus descended, a large number of aliens were turned into mincemeat. Additionally, many of the aliens were torn apart by numerous energy attacks. None of them could escape these large-scale attacks.
"This is the Imperial Nether Domain! But why is it so suppressive?"
"We can"t escape! Can anyone save us?"
"Ming Zi! Where is he? He"s a genius from the Imperial Nether Clan. With his talent, he should be able to help us all leave."
...
Gu w.a.n.g was the strongest of the aliens. He naturally couldn"t watch as the aliens died. His bones ignited with a terrifying bone flame. The flame looked incredibly eerie, and his scythe turned scarlet as his strength surged against the domain"s suppression. He swung his scythe, aiming to break free with one hit.
Bone Flame G.o.dslaying Blade!
Gu w.a.n.g focused on Xiang Shaoyun"s soul. He knew very well that if he could destroy Xiang Shaoyun"s soul, this domain would break by itself. He felt rather happy that Xiang Shaoyun had decided to use the Imperial Nether Domain. His bone flame specialized in destroying souls.
But when his blade was about to reach Xiang Shaoyun, the soul that was seated cross-legged suddenly opened its eyes. Its eyes were branded with the symbols of countless profundities, instantly eliminating the entire attack.
"How is this possible?" Gu w.a.n.g exclaimed in alarm.
"Nothing is impossible. Time to send you to the afterlife," said Xiang Shaoyun"s soul as it flew forth and pressed a palm down on Gu w.a.n.g.
Very few people knew that Xiang Shaoyun"s soul was even stronger than his main body. Many aliens had perished in his hands due to that. Gu w.a.n.g was a Three Revolutions expert, and the quality of his energy had surpa.s.sed the level of ordinary G.o.ds. Even so, he still couldn"t escape being suppressed. The domain"s suppression greatly weakened him, allowing Xiang Shaoyun"s powerful soul to break his bones with one hit.
"Why are you immune to my bone flame? Have you reached the level where your soul becomes solid?" Gu w.a.n.g roared indignantly. Every single ability and power of his had failed against Xiang Shaoyun, so he felt pretty sullen.
Xiang Shaoyun did not even bother to reply and focused on destroying all of Gu w.a.n.g"s energy. Someone at the Nine Revolutions Realm had a powerful life force. So long as one had even a little bit of energy remaining, one would be able to endlessly regrow one"s body. If they weren"t fighting in the Imperial Nether Domain, Xiang Shaoyun would have no way of suppressing Gu w.a.n.g so greatly.
After all, as a Nine Revolutions Realm expert, if Gu w.a.n.g focused on running, Xiang Shaoyun wouldn"t be able to do anything. After destroying Gu w.a.n.g"s body again and again, Xiang Shaoyun discovered that Gu w.a.n.g"s soul was wrapped in a clump of bone flame. That was where his life imprint was located.
Only by destroying that clump of bone flame would Xiang Shaoyun be able to fully destroy Gu w.a.n.g"s soul and kill him for real. Xiang Shaoyun wanted to try controlling Gu w.a.n.g with the Nether Dragon Soul Curse, but unfortunately, the bone flame was able to destroy every one of his curse symbols.
At the same time, Gu w.a.n.g was even attempting to use the bone flame against the Imperial Nether Domain itself and burn himself a way out. Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn"t let Gu w.a.n.g flee. His soul clone formed the primal chaos flame and attempted to a.s.similate the bone flame. Finally, Gu w.a.n.g panicked.
"You can"t kill me! Or else, all of humanity will peris.h.!.+" shouted Gu w.a.n.g in fear.
"As if humanity will be safe if I spare you," said Xiang Shaoyun.
The primal chaos flame lived up to its reputation as a top-tier flame. Slowly but surely, Gu w.a.n.g"s flame was eaten away.
Gu w.a.n.g panicked even more as he said, "So long as you let me go, I"m willing to take our army and withdraw!"
Xiang Shaoyun did not even bother saying anything. After devouring the entire bone flame, his primal chaos flame spread toward Gu w.a.n.g"s soul. At this time, the Nine Revolutions Realm experts on the other alien wars.h.i.+ps moved out.
A decent number of Nine Revolutions Realm aliens had come with the most recent wave of alien reinforcement. However, they were too arrogant to make a move against the weak humans, so they had let the younger generation deal with them.
But after Xiang Shaoyun displayed his incredible combat strength and killed numerous aliens, the experts lost their calm. Two aliens, a One Revolution expert and a Two Revolutions expert charged forth. When they sensed the tiny undulations around them, they started bombarding the undulations, attempting to break the Imperial Nether Domain and free the aliens trapped within.
Their attacks were powerful, and as they were attacking from the outside, they were definitely capable of destroying the domain. But before they succeeded, Dugu Qiubai charged over and interrupted them.
"You need to get through me before interrupting their fight!" said Dugu Qiubai. He was the strongest human in the human army after Xiang Shaoyun. Not even Qin Jiu and Gongsun Sanyang would be his match without borrowing the might of their nine-revolutions weapons.
Dugu Qiubai drew his Primal Chaos Sword and unleashed a five-colored millstone, blocking the attacks of the two aliens.
"Since you dare to stand before us, we"ll kill you first," said one of the two aliens.
"We might as well kill all these humans as well," said the other alien.
They attacked again with even stronger attacks, aiming for Dugu Qiubai and the human army. By himself, Dugu Qiubai would probably not be able to stop the two attacks. Someone else needed to step up as well. Everyone hoped that either Qin Jiu or Gongsun Sanyang would be the one to step up, but the first one to appear was Purple Lightning Marquis.
