Spiraling toxic gas rose from Jiang Yuanchi’s shadow domain, where Gupi’s enormous shape loomed.
However, Gupi spent most of the time hiding in the depths of the shadows, where strange sounds echoed out from time to time.
It was unknown whether Gupi was fighting or communicating with Wu Yi.
Nie Tian a.s.sumed a vigilant stance, as if he were facing formidable foes.
Ji Yuanquan also waited with a grim expression. He turned around and said sternly to the Void domain disciples of the Divine Seal Sect, “Get out of here now! No one can guarantee that they can save the Realm of Divine Seal! If you insist on staying, you’ll only end up dead and reduced to piles of bones. And your deaths won’t mean anything!”
The Divine Seal Sect Qi warriors were all deeply frustrated after hearing his words.
“Come on! Don’t be our burden!” Ji Yuanquan said with a berating tone.
At the same time, Jing Rou and Duan s.h.i.+hu arrived in the Realm of Divine Seal through teleportation portals. They also sent messages to those disciples of the Divine Seal Sect, urging them to evacuate immediately.
After receiving the messages, those who had charged out of the Realm of Divine Seal in high spirits hesitated, but eventually flew back downhearted.
Soon, they evacuated through teleportation portals at Jing Rou and Duan s.h.i.+hu’s strong demand, leaving the vast Realm of Divine Seal completely empty.
WHOOs.h.!.+ WHOOs.h.!.+
In the starry river, Nie Tian operated his Primal Chaos in his enlarged form. With the help of the Heavenly Stars Flower, G.o.dspirit Tree, and seventy-two tree branches in his activated domain, he channeled the kinds of power he could from his surroundings.
“Even though I’m in a much larger form now than I was in the Domain of Jade Heaven, the energies in my Primal Chaos aren’t as strong,” Nie Tian thought to himself.
He started to miss the wonderful feeling when he had taken the violent mixed energies You Qimiao from the Remote Beginning Heavenly Sect had channeled from unknown parts of the starry river into his own Primal Chaos.
Back then, he had started his journey of fury in the Domain of Heaven Python, and gathered more and more energies from the starry river as he had pa.s.sed through domains.
Eventually, under the influence of the mysterious magnetic field at the heart of his Primal Chaos, those energies had become all-conquering, so much so that they had torn G.o.d domain experts’ domains and shattered the Realm of Jade Billows.
“If I had those energies and coupled them with my enlarged form, would I be able to cast an Illusory Ancient Talisman mighty enough to deal with Gupi?” He thought to himself.
“Nie Tian...” An unsettling voice echoed out as Jiang Yuanchi revealed himself in his shadow domain.
Next to Jiang Yuanchi, Wu Yi was chuckling cunningly, wreathed in a strong corpse aura.
With a single glance at Jiang Yuanchi, Nie Tian realized that he was nothing but a puppet. It was Gupi that was speaking and pulling the strings.
Ji Yuanquan’s expression suddenly grew very serious.
The fact that Wu Yi was standing by Jiang Yuanchi, or Gupi to be exact, proved that things had developed in the direction he wanted to see the least: an alliance had formed between Gupi and Wu Yi.
The foundation on which their alliance was built was that they couldn’t kill each other.
“It’s not going to stop with the Realm of Divine Seal,” Wu Yi from the Heavenly Corpse Sect said with a gruesome, cunning smile. “Many more human realms have yet to be plagued. Countless humans will die. I, on the other hand, will be able to absorb the corpse power I need from those mountains of corpses, so I can grow stronger and stronger.
“But I’ll also help it get rid of some potential obstacles.
“For instance, you.”
Now, having formed an alliance with Gupi, Wu Yi had already cast Feng Beiluo’s warnings out of his mind.
“Your master, Wu Ji, isn’t here. If he were, I would kill him as well,” Wu Yi said with strong killing intent. “In fact, my agreement with it is that your master, Wu Ji, is our primary target, not you!”
Right now, Nie Tian wasn’t the person Gupi was the most apprehensive about. Rather, it was Wu Ji, who was said to be well-versed in time power.
Secret time power magics could definitely be used to seal it, which made them more scary than secret shadow magics.
Gupi had only reached a mutual understanding with Wu Yi because it was afraid that Wu Ji would show up one day and prove to be so powerful that even Grand Monarch Nether Channeler couldn’t stop him. Wu Yi, who was wreathed in a heaven-defying corpse aura, would actually be a great help.
“Then again, you also need to be taken care of as soon as possible.”
With these words, Wu Yi shot towards Nie Tian standing on the floating meteor, accompanied by Jiang Yuanchi’s shadow domain.
At the same time, cl.u.s.ters of pale flames flew out of the shadow domain. Just as they were about to enter Nie Tian’s Primal Chaos, wolf-like ghouls emerged from within them.
After they did, they devoured the pale flames, let out ear-piercing screeches, and then slammed into the Primal Chaos.
The ghouls that looked like rabid wolves seemed to be forged from pure metal. Though they were violently twisted by the mixed energies within the Primal Chaos, they didn’t fall apart, but only had fiery sparks sputter from their skin.
Frowning, Ji Yuanquan said, “Be careful, Nie Tian! These ghouls were the Demons’ h.e.l.lhounds. He must have turned them into what they are now by refining a vast variety of metal into them using the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s corpse refining technique. Ghouls like them are almost impervious to mortal weapons. One can only kill them with Immortal grade divine tools.”
“Ghouls refined from h.e.l.lhounds... And there are so many of them...” Nie Tian had a headache over the tough situation.
Wu Yi laughed wildly. “There are more to come!”
Numerous cl.u.s.ters of pale flames flew out of his palm.
The hearts of those flame cl.u.s.ters seemed to connect to an arcane land where countless ghouls were kept. Rabid ghouls continued to crawl out, devour those flames, and throw themselves into the Primal Chaos.
“Fowl, beasts, and even dragons...”
Ji Yuanquan observed with rapt attention, and discovered that a wide array of beings had been turned into surprisingly strong ghouls by Wu Yi with his powerful corpse refining technique.
They might not have been outstandingly strong when they were alive, but they had all been unique in some way.
Most importantly, their bones and flesh could be fused with different kinds of metal after they had died. This way, they would become more powerful after Wu Yi turned them into ghouls.
CLANK! CLANK!
The twisting and ripping power of the Primal Chaos failed to rip open or kill a single ghoul.
“Immortal grade divine tools, you say?” Nie Tian let out a snort as he swung the Star Behemoth bone in his enlarged form.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
As interweaving blood-colored lights came in an overwhelming manner, the ghouls that had been refined from h.e.l.l hounds were finally cut to pieces.
But surprisingly, their mangled remains continued to pounce towards him in the Primal Chaos.
His giant legs were their targets.
“Ouch!”
With a pained exclamation, he looked down. He noticed that the mangled ghouls had clung to his legs and bitten into his skin like large mosquitoes, wisps of toxic corpse aura piercing into his flesh like steel needles.
A feeling of numbness and that his blood circulation was undermined immediately came from his legs.
“I can’t believe they can still attack after being cut to pieces! And the damage they cause doesn’t seem to be weakened at all.” With a violent shake of his legs, Nie Tian shattered the mangled ghouls. However, as he leveled his eye, he discovered that his Primal Chaos was already filled with ghouls of various appearances. Large or small, they all threw themselves towards him, baring their fangs and claws as they did.
Eyes narrowed, Wu Yi simply stood on the floating meteor, bleakness filling his gruesome white pupils.
“Even though my ghouls’ individual battle prowess isn’t comparable to that of Feng Beiluo’s Heavenly Corpses, my ghouls have their advantage in battle: there are more of them than you can kill!”
