Chapter 503: Three Thearchs At Once!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sky was like ink, dark and without light.
The void gate covered the sky and emanated boundless evil mist that covered heaven and earth.
In the mist, demons could be seen, their faces ferocious, letting out roars from time to time.
These Evil Spirits were like evil ghosts from h.e.l.l. Their auras were incomparably fierce as if they wanted to slaughter all life.
...
Everyone’s expression changed drastically.
There were too many Evil Spirits this time. There was no lack of Perfected Immortals amongst them.
They swept over like a black tide, shaking the heavens.
Such a lineup exceeded the total number of Evil Spirits that had invaded in the past 100 years.
Someone cried out in horror. “It’s a Thearch who attacked. He tore through the Five Regions Barrier and let the Evil Spirit army in.”
The Five Regions Barrier restricted Evil Spirit experts from entering.
In the past, even though Evil Spirits at the Perfected Immortal level could enter this world, there were definitely not that many.
Now, however, hundreds of them came at once.
There were countless Sub-immortals and Sage Evil Spirits, making one’s scalp tingle.
From this lineup, it could be seen that they clearly intended to completely destroy the five regions!
...
As soon as these Evil Spirits appeared, they bared their ferocious fangs and charged toward everyone.
Hundreds of Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits moved together, their might terrifying to the extreme.
They leaped over, overturning the heavens, shattering mountains and rivers.
The heavens sank, and the earth caved in. The natural laws became chaotic as if this place was going to turn into purgatory.
“Attack, stop them!”
There was an old man who was roaring furiously with a nervous expression.
If these Evil Immortals were to rush into Middle Ground, there would be corpses everywhere and heavy casualties.
This force was not something the five regions’ cultivators could resist.
Dozens of figures soared into the sky and stood in the void, trying to stop the Evil Spirit army.
These were the old ancestors of the various sacred grounds. Their cultivation had reached the Sub-Thearch level.
However, in front of the Evil Spirit army, this force was still incomparably small.
The difference in numbers was too great to make up for.
“Activate the Yin-Yang Five Element Formation!” an elder roared.
Several dozen Sub-Thearch moved together. They chanted ancient incantations to draw in the power of the world and set up a supreme formation.
A resplendent screen of light rose up and enshrouded the surroundings, blocking out heaven and earth.
A bright sun and a bright moon rose up, each occupying half of the sky.
Yin and Yang interweaved, forming a supreme great formation together.
Several dozen Sub-Thearchs worked together to support the great formation.
At that moment, hundreds of attacks from the Evil Immortals descended.
They mobilized endless evil energy, shattering thousands of miles of territory and smashing into the barrier.
The might was terrifying, and heaven and earth were overturned.
Rumble!
The sound was like thunder, shaking heaven and earth!
The barrier of light surged with tempestuous waves.
Dozens of Sub-Thearchs trembled as they endured the terrifying impact.
However, the formation did not shatter. Instead, the attack was successfully blocked by the Sub-Thearchs.
This was a formation pa.s.sed down from the Antiquity Era. It contained tremendous power.
With the support of the formation, it would not be that easy for the Evil Immortals to invade.
...
At that moment, a change occurred.
The void gate opened wide, shining brightly.
A mighty figure walked over from the outer realm, and its aura looked down upon all living beings.
This person was too terrifying, his entire body pitch-black like ink.
Even his pupils were flickering with black light, and not a single ray of light could be seen from him.
He stood tall between heaven and earth as if making heaven and earth sink into an eternal abyss.
“My name is Night Thearch!”
With that said, the vast starry sky was instantly shattered into dust.
This voice was filled with soul-stirring power as if it could devour the soul and annihilate the True Soul.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed drastically.
This was a true Thearch whose power far surpa.s.sed that of a Sub-Thearch.
In the era where there were no Thearchs in the five regions, who could contend against him?
Were the five regions really going to perish?
...
At that moment, the Night Thearch moved!
He slowly raised his hand and slammed it toward the light screen.
In an instant, s.p.a.ce was obliterated and collapsed into ruins, and a myriad of mountains and rivers were shattered.
The formation shield instantly shattered.
Dozens of Sub-Thearchs bathed in blood, smashing into the ground.
Their faces were ashen, and their minds were shattered.
In front of a true Thearch, everything was like floating clouds.
Several dozen Sub-Thearchs had joined together to lay down a formation, but it was destroyed in a single strike.
Such power was simply unstoppable!
The Night Thearch’s eyes were dark like an abyssal black hole that could swallow all living beings.
He gazed into the distance, and it was as if his gaze pierced through the boundless void. The gaze headed straight for a certain region in Middle Ground.
The Night Thearch then spoke slowly, his voice carrying a boundless ruler’s might.
His voice echoed throughout heaven and earth. “Evil Spirit army, kill!”
Fierce winds swept up between heaven and earth, power overflowing into the heavens.
Immediately, several hundred Evil Immortals moved, slaughtering their way over.
Behind them, countless Sub-Immortal and Sage Evil Spirits pressed down, overturning the heavens!
“Fight!” shouted Jiang Taiyi.
Dozens of ancestors moved together to block the Evil Immortals’ attacks.
Each of them utilized their own supreme techniques and borrowed the weapons left behind by their ancestors to resist the Evil Spirits.
If they didn’t take action, this world would definitely be destroyed.
Even though the other party had the backing of a Thearch, everyone still charged forward fearlessly.
At the same time, a group of people rushed forward to fight against the Evil Immortals together with the other ancestors.
They carried the flag of the Heavenly Courts and were extremely powerful.
These people were members of the Heavenly Courts.
During the past 100 years, the geniuses’ strength had increased greatly. They were now capable of contending against Perfected Immortals.
The battle between the two parties was extremely intense.
Even though the Evil Spirit race had many experts, it was not so easy for them to flatten the five regions.
At the same time, the five regions’ cultivators were fighting a b.l.o.o.d.y battle.
No one backed down, all of them fighting with everything they had.
This battle concerned the life and death of the five regions, and no one was safe alone.
...
The Night Thearch’s gaze was disdainful as he said disdainfully, “What a stubborn resistance!”
He mobilized his strength and prepared to deal with these humans.
At that moment, a figure floated over.
His white clothes were extraordinary, and his style was matchless. He stood in front of the Night Thearch, resisting all the pressure coming from him.
The Night Thearch’s expression was cold as he snorted. “So it’s you!”
Upon recognizing Shen Tian, his aura instantly became incomparably violent.
Shen Tian teased. “A defeated opponent still dares to be so arrogant?”
Night Thearch!
This was the Thearch that the Evil Spirits had summoned back in Southern Border.
Shen Tian had destroyed his finger back then and injured him.
He never expected that 100 years later, he would actually directly slaughter his way into this realm.
The Night Thearch’s eyes narrowed dangerously. He stepped forward and shattered the endless void.
“Brat, how dare you injure my body!? Die!”
The Night Thearch waved his hand.
The heavens were overturned in the blink of an eye, and the pressure bore down on Shen Tian.
This was the force of a Thearch.
In an instant, the void was torn apart.
Darkness spread for thousands of miles, terrifying to the extreme.
An enormous handprint that shook the heavens suddenly appeared in the sky, and it blotted out the sky and covered the sun. It was extremely heavy.
This power was enough to kill any living being below the Thearch level.
Shen Tian’s expression didn’t change, and his eyes shone with a dazzling light.
Endless starlight surrounded him, dazzling and resplendent.
He leaped into the sky, bringing with him endless starlight.
“Heavenly Divine Fist!”
Shen Tian waved his fist and drew in the power of the endless stars.
Like a falling meteor, it was unstoppable!
Boom!
The two collided, and their might shook heaven and earth as they shattered s.p.a.ce.
The Night Thearch’s body trembled slightly as surprise appeared in his eyes.
Shen Tian’s strength actually increased to such an extent after 100 years.
Back then, Shen Tian had to use all his trump cards just to defend against his finger.
But now, he could actually forcefully shake a Thearch’s attack?
Such talent was simply too monstrous.
“This kid is a hidden danger. I can’t let him live!”
A pitch-black evil force surged from the Night Thearch’s body, forming a scorching sun of darkness.
Dark light flickered about, carrying a mournful and evil intent as if it was going to drag people into a dark abyss.
Brilliant light erupted behind Shen Tian as a ma.s.sive Kun Peng projection materialized.
He was displaying the Kun Peng arts, turning into an aurora that rushed into the dark blazing sun.
“Looking for death!”
The Night Thearch snorted and clenched his fist.
The dark sun instantly exploded as pitch-black evil flames swept through the heavens, incinerating all laws.
s.p.a.ce instantly collapsed, and the laws were obliterated while order was thrown into disorder. It was like a place where all spirits perished.
The dazzling aurora suddenly broke through the black mist and charged toward the Night Thearch.
The blood in Shen Tian’s body surged endlessly, shaking the heavens like a furnace!
A Dragon-Phoenix avatar appeared behind him as the two intertwined!
Shen Tian’s hands clenched into fists, one hand transforming into a True Dragon that roared through the world.
The True Dragon Fist descended with unstoppable force.
The other hand turned into a Divine Phoenix, fiery light surging into the heavens, carrying with it blazing divine flames, burning heaven and earth.
The two punches landed heavily on the Night Thearch’s chest.
It blasted him into the nine heavens, scattering the clouds in all directions.
“Cough, cough.”
The blood in the Night Thearch’s body surged as his eyes were filled with shock.
He hadn’t expected Shen Tian’s battle prowess to be so terrifying.
In a moment of carelessness, he almost suffered a huge loss.
The Night Thearch roared ferociously, “Kill!”
The evil mist behind him shook and transformed into a monstrous beast. Its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth was wide open and incomparably sinister.
The power was terrifying to the extreme. If one was dragged into the dark mist, they would sink into eternal oblivion.
It was as if countless living beings were howling in anguish and resentment in the b.l.o.o.d.y mouth.
These were all living beings that the Night Thearch had devoured.
There was no lack of peerless experts amongst them, yet they remained silent here forever, and it caused others to feel terrified.
“Suppress!”
Shen Tian roared as the light around his body grew increasingly intense.
The Dragon-Phoenix power was pushed to its limits, and divine flames erupted forth.
Nan Ming Li Fire, True Sun Fire, Divine Phoenix Undying Flames, Phoenix Divine Flames...
Endless flames soared into the sky, transforming into a curtain of fire that descended to the nine heavens, dazzling and resplendent.
The myriads of divine flames were extremely dazzling. They lit up the world, dispelling the darkness.
Both sides fought a b.l.o.o.d.y and intense battle.
Black mist surged, and flames soared into the sky!
The Dragon-Phoenix avatar collided intensely with the giant darkness beast. Its roar shook the heavens, shattering the starry skies for 10,000 miles.
Shen Tian’s true body was also fighting against the Night Thearch. This was an extreme clash of physical bodies, a clash using the most primitive power.
In that instant, divine might erupted, the scene horrifying.
This was a battle between unmatched experts that could easily shatter heaven and earth and destroy the sun, moon, and stars.
However, this battle was one-sided!
Shen Tian’s heroic bearing was unparalleled. He controlled the Dragon-Phoenix power and sent it straight down to the ninth heaven, causing the Night Thearch to retreat repeatedly.
Although the Night Thearch possessed the body of a Thearch, he was at a disadvantage when facing Shen Tian, who had a supreme physique.
Ever since Shen Tian had pa.s.sed the 24 levels of tribulation and had become a Sub-Thearch, his mortal body had undergone earthshaking changes.
Even the body of a Thearch would pale in comparison before him.
Boom!
Another loud explosion could be heard!
The Night Thearch was instantly blasted hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, shattering the endless void.
Blood flowed from the corners of his lips, his aura heavy.
“d.a.m.n it! If I don’t kill you, I will shame the Thearchs’ prestige!”
The Night Thearch gnashed his teeth, feeling deeply humiliated.
To think that he, a great Thearch, actually suffered such a great loss in front of a junior. How could he endure this?
The Night Thearch rose to his feet as the Eternal Night Calamity Light surged behind him.
It transformed into a pair of black wings and soared into the sky.
His true body turned into a dark vulture, his entire body covered in bones and flesh, carrying unmatched sharpness as he pressed over.
Its beak was like a sharp blade, able to easily pierce through Immortal Metals.
Shen Tian’s hand glowed with silver light. He unsheathed the Chaotic Star Sword and slashed out the Flying Sword Immortal Qi.
In an instant, heaven and earth were covered in dazzling silver light.
Boom!
The Night Thearch’s figure immediately fell back, and blood flowed from the s.p.a.ce between his brows. His divine sense had almost been obliterated.
At that moment, he finally understood—Shen Tian wasn’t someone he could kill alone.
The Night Thearch forcefully stabilized his injuries. Although he was injured, it was not a threat to his life.
He said coldly, “Aren’t you guys coming out?”
The Night Thearch looked into the distance as if he was summoning something.
“What’s wrong? You’re a great Thearch, yet you can’t even take care of a junior?”
A mocking voice sounded from the void gate.
The void gate trembled intensely as a matchless figure walked out of it.
This person wore a blood-colored crown and blood-colored armor. His aura was incomparably fierce.
He slowly walked over as if carrying with him a torrential sea of blood.
This person had definitely slaughtered countless living beings, and his entire body was tainted with blood aura, causing him to look and feel extremely horrifying.
Another Thearch!
The Night Thearch harrumphed upon seeing who it was. “Blood Thearch, this brat isn’t as simple as he looks!
“Don’t be careless, or you’ll suffer a loss!”
Blood energy overflowed into the heavens from the Blood Thearch’s body. He stood in the boundless sea of stars, looking down on all life.
His eyes were as red as blood, like a blood sun.
With just a slight glance, one’s soul would be annihilated by the endless bloodl.u.s.t, and one would be reduced to madness.
“This bloodline really is extraordinary, and their fighting strength is indeed heaven-shocking.
“Unfortunately, it is destined to be destroyed here today.”
The Blood Thearch’s voice was powerful as he coldly looked down at Shen Tian as if he was looking at a dead person.
In his view, even though Shen Tian was powerful, there was nothing to fear.
It would be an easy task to kill him.
...
Shen Tian wore a calm expression upon seeing another Thearch. He was not surprised that the Evil Spirit race had a backup plan.
Shen Tian aloofly said, “There’s one more person. Don’t hide. Come out!”
A deep voice then sounded, shaking the universe.
“Interesting, you actually managed to find traces of myself!”
Another peerless being walked out of the void gate.
This person held an Evil Spirit staff and wore a cursed robe. His eyes were dark green and sinister.
The evil aura around him was vast and mighty, emitting a terrifying curse power.
This person’s voice was hoa.r.s.e like the roar of a malicious spirit. “I didn’t expect that the Human Emperor bloodline could actually break our clan’s curse.”
The Blood Thearch was astonished.
“Eye Thearch, this brat broke the curse?”
This surprised everyone.
The Eye Thearch came from an extremely extraordinary Evil Spirit lineage. His original form was the Heaven-Smiting Devil Pupil, and it possessed the power of supreme curse.
In the past, the Heaven-Smiting Devil Pupil Clan hadn’t hesitated to sacrifice three great Immortal Kings to place a curse onto the Human Emperor Physique.
This curse could not be removed unless the one with the Human Emperor Physique reached the Immortal Emperor realm.
Who would have thought that Shen Tian would be able to remove the curse even before breaking through to become a Thearch?
It seemed like this boy had a big secret!
The Eye Thearch’s voice was cold like a curse. “It’s fine. This bloodline is destined to be abandoned by the heavens. This kid will also die here!”
He did not mind. This generation’s Human Emperor’s cultivation was too weak and had yet to mature.
Furthermore, with three Thearchs present, how could they not be able to kill the Human Emperor?
...
Everyone sucked in a deep breath of cold air.
No one expected the Evil Spirit race to send three great Thearchs to attack Shen Tian.
This lineup had already surpa.s.sed everyone’s imagination.
The gazes of Jiang Taiyi and the others were heavy as they said worriedly, “Brother Shen, you must win!”
Shen Tian’s eyes were cold, and his voice was as cold as ice. “Very good, everyone is here! It’s time to send you all on your way!”
The Blood Thearch snorted. “Arrogant! This is where you will die. It’s your honor to be killed by three Thearchs. It’s something worth bragging about even when your soul returns to the Yellow Springs!”
Thearchs had always been supreme existences.
A single Thearch was enough to destroy the five regions.
Now, the Evil Spirit race had mobilized three Thearchs just to deal with Shen Tian, who had yet to even become a Thearch.
This was simply unimaginable.
Shen Tian teased. “Is that so? Let’s see if you all have the ability!”
With that said, Shen Tian flicked his sleeves, and endless divine light erupted from his body.
Divine light shone in all directions, cleansing heaven and earth.
Above his head, the Divine Sun Cauldron sat in the void, extremely dazzling.
Behind him, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard shone with boundless divine might.
Shen Tian stood firmly in the air against the three Thearchs.
“You actually have such treasures?”
The three Thearchs’ eyes lit up when they saw the treasures.
They could sense the terrifying might emanating from the chessboard.
Such a treasure would tempt even Thearchs.
“Kill!”
The Night Thearch was the first to speak. He had suffered a great defeat at Shen Tian’s hands earlier and wanted to avenge his previous humiliation.
His large hands clenched into fists, looking grand and unrestrained. He shattered the starry sky and caused countless stars to explode.
Although the Night Thearch was injured, his strength was not greatly affected.
Shen Tian controlled the Divine Sun Cauldron and directly suppressed the Night Thearch.
The two sides collided, releasing endless divine might that engulfed heaven and earth.
The Divine Sun Cauldron burst forth with endless divine light, bathed in True Sun Fire.
When the Night Thearch touched the True Sun Fire, he retreated in fear.
Such divine flame was extremely effective against the Evil Spirit race.
Shen Tian rode his divine rainbow, planning to seize the moment of victory to give chase.
Beside him, the Blood Thearch had also charged over. His murderous intent was even more terrifying than that of the Night Thearch.
The Blood Thearch held a scarlet war spear in his hands, dark red blood still dripping from it.
That was the true blood of a Thearch expert, who had been pierced through by the spear.
His true blood was swallowed into the spear, causing the spear to become increasingly vicious.
Such a peerless weapon was considered a top existence even amongst Thearch artifacts.
The Blood Thearch held the scarlet spear in his hand, stabbing toward Shen Tian’s back.
Shen Tian turned around and controlled the chessboard to forcefully attack the Blood Thearch.
In the blink of an eye, the Spherical Heaven Chessboard expanded.
It completely transformed, completely imprisoning the scarlet war spear.
The stars descended, and natural laws swirled about it, releasing endless power.
The Blood Thearch’s body shook violently as he was knocked back by the power of the Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
However, he didn’t seem to mind. His eyes were flickering with blazing blood light.
The Blood Thearch already had his eyes on this unmatched great artifact, wishing to seize it for himself.
At the other side, the Eye Thearch also attacked.
He waved his staff, and a strange power erupted from his body.
In the darkness, an evil force approached, disrupting the universe.
Shen Tian’s body shook violently. He felt that someone was restraining his divine soul in the void, wanting to tear it apart!
“Die!”
Shen Tian let out a long roar as golden light erupted from his body.
The Golden Wheel of Purification suddenly appeared, allowing him to be impenetrable by all techniques.
At that moment, the Eye Thearch charged toward him.
Not only was he proficient in curses, but he was also extremely powerful himself.
The Eye Thearch transformed into a gigantic demonic eye and shot out the Heaven-Smiting Devil Pupil’s light, erupting with destructive power.
Boom!
The stars within a radius of 10,000 kilometers instantly shattered into dust.
Shen Tian’s expression was grave as he quickly formed hand seals.
In the blink of an eye, countless chess pieces fell from the sky, condensing into a giant astral sword made of stars that descended from the sky.
The chess pieces collided with the Eye Thearch and sent him flying.
...
This scene shocked everyone.
They found it hard to believe that Shen Tian wasn’t at a disadvantage even though he was fighting against three Thearchs.
As expected of the five regions’ Human Emperor. He will definitely win this battle!
