825 - 830
Chapter 825
When Zhou Weiqing's other trump card appeared on her own accord when he had no other alternatives, the initially adverse circumstances on the scene turned around in a flash. Although Dongfang Hanyue only came with a dragon, they were capable of competing against a Maximum Level Heavenly God-tier powerhouse when they merged together with the help of the eleven piece Blackfiend Dragon Set. On the other hand, there was no other Heavenly God-tier powerhouse on Love Valley and Blood Red Hell's side. Who else was capable of fighting against Dongfang Hanyue?
When there was no other possible alternative, the forty Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses separated themselves from Blood Red Hell and Love Valley to besiege Dongfang Hanyue. Only then did the slaughtering speed of her Blackfiend Devastation Dragon Slaying Spear slow down.
"Kill…" Dongfang Hanyue's arrival greatly reduced Xue Ao'tian's stress, he no longer needed to devote all his effort to resist the Destruction Divine Territory. The Mountain Lord of Heavenly Snow Mountain could finally immerse himself in the battle.
In terms of quantity, there were less than a hundred people on their side, while the enemy still had almost four hundred powerhouses. However, the battle was no longer leaning to one side due to the existence of the three Heavenly God-tier powerhouses on their side. It was difficult to gauge which side would be victorious or defeated. Due to the terrifying lethality of the Blackfiend Devastation Dragon Slaying Spear in Dongfang Hanyue's hand, the scales of victory was tipping in favor of the Heavenly Snow Mountain and the Peerless Sect's side.
Xue Ao'tian was the only Heavenly God-tier powerhouse who was involved the previous Saint Lands' Great Battle. However, this time there were already more than ten Heavenly God-tier powerhouses on the Heavenly Snow Mountain's peak alone!
The battlefield on this side calmed down. On the other side, the pair of siblings, Shangguan Tianyang and Shangguan Tianyue, led the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation and fought against the husband and wife, Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun like a raging fire.
In terms of cultivation base, Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun obviously had the upper hand. However, they seemed to be in a disadvantageous position based on the situation at the battlefield now.
The Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation could be used as the ultimate fail-safe for the Heaven's Expanse Palace, but it was not an easy task. Even without a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse to assume command, the Heaven's Expanse Palace was capable of sitting on the number one throne amongst the Five Great Saint Lands. They were definitely not just relying on their luck.
Huang Xingyun and his wife felt as if they were one once the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation was launched. No matter which direction they attacked, they would be greeted with the combined energy of 108 Heaven's Expanse Palace's powerhouses.
The siblings Shangguan Tianyang and Shangguan Tianyue were at the eye of the formation in the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. The Destruction Divine Territory was completely useless in the face of this great formation. This was one of the distinctive features of the great formation. It was capable of shielding against any Divine Territory's effect.
Even though Heavenly God-tier powerhouses were strong, if Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun were to launch an attack against the great formation, the attack would be weakened by half in the formation. Subsequently, the force of the attack would be equally shared among the Heaven's Expanse Palace powerhouses. They would then rely on the profoundness of the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation to dissolve the attack with ease.
On the other hand, the great formation did not attack Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun. However, every time the dull white-colored mist swept past their bodies, they would feel the fatal sensation of a threat that left the husband and wife with no choice but to use the full force of their Heavenly Energy so they could counterattack.
The Upper-Level Heavenly God-tier powerhouses were considered superior beings in the world. Nonetheless, there was still a limit to the Heavenly Energy in their bodies. The act of continuously depleting their energy would weaken their cultivation base. Due to the fact that the Heaven's Expanse Palace's powerhouses were relying on the rotation of the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation to form a miraculous energy circulation, their level of depletion was much lower compared to Huang Xingyun and his wife.
If Huang Xingyun was given another choice, he would rather face Zhou Weiqing than to trap himself within this Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. The feeling of not being able to exert his energy was truly too agonizing. Moreover, there was nothing he could do even if he wished to pull himself away from the great formation. Within this wide expanse of the mist-covered great formation, even his Divine Thought was incapable of charging out of the formation due to his inability to sense everything that was happening in the outside world.
"The Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation that Xue Ao'tian faced in the beginning was not as strong as this one, right?" Huang Xingyun complained in his heart, but he could only hope that the other battles would end soon so they could help him. Although he could not break out of the formation with his wife, he could clearly sense that this Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation was already at its limit with their two-person attack. If only one more Heavenly God-tier powerhouse were to join in, they would certainly be able to break out of the formation.
Huang Xingyun's situational judgment towards the Heavenly Snow Mountain was rather accurate. In his opinion, their side should definitely have the upper hand in at least two battlefields.
On one side, there were the main forces of the other two parties who were competing against each other in terms of quantity, actual strength, and attribute advantage. He believed that the battle on that side would end momentarily. The other side's advantage naturally came from Fen Tian. Huang Xingyun was well aware of Fen Tian's actual strength. A Maximum Level Heavenly God-tier powerhouse versus that lad from the Peerless Sect. He ought to be able to deal with him within a few short moments. At that time, as long as Fen Tian was willing to help Huang Xingyun, the battle on this side would also naturally end in the shortest time.
"Xingyun, we should conserve some of our Heavenly Energy." Yun Ruoyun's voice echoed in Huang Xingyun's ears.
Huang Xingyun nodded. The husband and wife held each other's hands as the distorted darkness radiance continuously spun around their bodies. Even though they were trapped in the great formation that resulted in their inability to absorb the outside world's energy attribute to replenish themselves, the Heavenly Energy that was generated from their bodies would last them for a long period of time with their cultivation base.
The siblings Shangguan Tianyang and Shangguan Tianyue had been calmly observing Huang Xingyun husband and wife all along. When they realized that the husband and wife were completely on the defensive, the two siblings could not help but smile.
They had the best understanding of the essence of the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. The great formation was almost perfect in a manner of speaking. It was impossible to breach the formation no matter how it was attacked. It would only be possible to break out of the formation if the absolute energy of everyone combined exceeded the great formation by at least three times. All the laws were futile within this great formation, and the use of Divine Territory was forbidden as well.
However, the only weakness of the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation was that its offensive ability was too weak. With Huang Xingyun and his wife's actual strength, even if they were not on a complete defensive stance, the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation had no way of truly harming them. If it was truly as such then the entire situation would be reversed. The effort to sustain the great formation still required an amount of energy to be depleted. As long as Huang Xingyun and his wife could continue to resist, the people from Heaven's Expanse Palace would eventually exhaust their Heavenly Energy.
It was easy to say that. However, under the threat of being killed at any given time within this great formation, who would dare to forsake resistance and allow them to attack as they pleased? Moreover, this weakness was only aimed specifically towards the Heavenly God-tier powerhouses. Huang Xingyun and his wife did not have the courage to forsake their defensive efforts. This was their destiny. Even though the battlefield on this side was meant to last the longest, it was also the one that appeared the calmest.
The two battlefields on the ground had regained its balance once again. Meanwhile, the three battlefields in the sky were a different sight altogether.
The battle between the Six Ultimate Heavenly God Long Shiya and the Blood Red Hell's Vice Lord Shen Mo could only be described as a volatile situation.
In terms of cultivation base, Shen Mo had the advantage. Meanwhile, in terms of control of Heavenly Energy, it was apparent that Long Shiya had the upper hand. If they were to continue the fighting the battle, the end result would only be detrimental to the both of them.
However, they did not continue the battle. They stopped in the middle before they started the battle once again. This time, they were competing against the energy restored by both parties earlier.
Long Shiya's enormous body was conjured up in the sky once again. However, he was only 100 meters tall this time. Although his Heavenly Energy seemed to become even more condensed and was denser, it was still incomparable to the larger body that he conjured up earlier.
On Shen Mo's side, there was a gigantic devouring mouth that was continuously launching wild attacks at Long Shiya. He resented the people from Peerless Sect. Shen Bu was murdered by Zhou Weiqing. There was no way he could make peace with that.
The two parties were both Heavenly God-tier powerhouses. Naturally, they had an accurate judgment of the earlier battle. Shen Mo was well aware of his current situation. Even though he was slightly injured to the point that his cultivation base was affected, he had the opinion that Long Shiya should be more severely affected because his Divine Thought depleted a lot of energy. Divine Thought was even more difficult to restore than injuries. It was impossible for Long Shiya to recover in such a short period of time. This could be obviously seen in the battle. Long Shiya's Divine Thought was only capable of controlling his hundred-meter-tall body right now.
Any defeat or victory across any of the five battlefields was enough to affect the overall situation. Shen Mo was even more optimistic than Huang Xinyun. In his opinion, they were only on the losing side in the battle between the Elf Tribe and the two enormous dragons, while they had the advantage in the rest of the battlefields. He wished that he could use the fastest speed to destroy Long Shiya who was running low on Divine Thought so he could go all out and kill everyone. Only the sight of fresh blood could wash away the rage in his heart.
Everything before his eyes seemed to be developing according to his wish. Under his violent attacks, Long Shiya had absolutely no way to come up with a good counterattack. This was due to the Destruction Divine Territory being restrained by the Elf Tribe's Natural Divine Territory to a certain extent. Shen Mo could go all out on his attack because Long Shiya was completely on the defensive. Every time a gush of energy was torn away from Long Shiya's hundred-meter-tall body, his body size would shrink by a few sizes. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before Shen Mo would achieve victory.
The battle between the Elf Tribe and the two enormous dragons were occupying the largest area in the sky. The Elven Empress was standing in the formation and became the main restraining energy.
Although the Natural Divine Territory Great Formation that the Elf Tribe's twelve elders cast with great effort were capable of limiting Hui Yao and Duo Si, the two enormous dragons were truly too powerful. The dragons became even more terrifying after they came to possess the Destructive Attribute. In terms of cultivation base, Hui Yao was even more superior than Fen Tian.
If they were to truly charge and attack at full force, it was very likely that even this great formation would be incapable of trapping them.
It seemed like there were as many as five Heavenly God-tier powerhouses on the Elf Tribe's side. However, in reality, those four Elf Tribe elders had only just advanced to the Heavenly God Tier recently. Hui Yao could easily eliminate them if the Elven Empress was not around.
However, the current Elf Tribe now was no longer the same one that existed in the Sealed Land. The evolution of the Ancient Elven Tree resulted in the evolution of the Elven Queen into the Elven Empress. How could she be so easily dealt with?
The Elven Empress was actually on the same level as the Dragon Emperor of ancient times!
Chapter 826
The Elven Empress who was in the Natural Divine Territory Great Formation did not look that powerful. Although she was around a hundred meters tall when she when she took the form of the Goddess of Nature, she was still not as enormous as Duo Si. However, the Natural Divine Territory was like an iron plate due to her presence.
Although Hui Yao and Duo Si had lost control of their senses, the thousands of years of experience in battle that they had was deeply ingrained. They would be able to find the weakest spot of the Natural Divine Territory as soon as they attacked. Meanwhile, the Elven Empress levitated in midair as she continuously waved the Goddess Nature Staff. Rays and rays of jade green light spread out, protecting their bodies that were vulnerable to the impact.
If it was a one-on-one battle, the Elven Empress would definitely suffer severe injuries if she attempted to defeat Hui Yao. However, it was not a one-on-one battle at the moment. With the help from the Elf Tribe's twelve elders and other factors, Hui Yao and Duo Si would not be able to come within a hundred meters of the Elven Empress even if they were to attack her together.
Each ray of the jade green light shone on the two enormous dragons' bodies. The rich Destruction Attribute on their bodies retreated a little from the suppression. Even a portion of it was separated and then dissolved by the Natural Divine Territory. The Elven Empress could not be compared to her former self after she finally understood the principles of the Life Saint Energy. Although it might seem like she had only upgraded from the Upper Level of the Heavenly God Tier to the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier, her abilities had been elevated a few folds in reality.
Zhou Weiqing had previously said that the Elven Empress might be an invincible entity in this world unless he managed to advance to the Heavenly God Tier to suppress the Elven Empress' attribute. However, this estimation did not take the merging of the Elven Empress and the Ancient Elven Tree into consideration.
Ever since the Ancient Elven Tree evolved, the entire Elf Tribe became rather powerful. That was how the four Elf Tribe elders could advance to the Heavenly God Tier or it would be impossible for them to experience such a breakthrough. At this moment, the Natural Divine Territory was effectively restraining the attack by the two enormous dragons while it continuously defended the Elven Empress. Although their situation was different from Huang Xingyun and his wife who could not even see what was happening outside, they were trapped even deeper. The Elven Empress' attack could not compare to the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Formation. Natural Aura was mixed with rich Life Saint Energy but the lights that shone on the two enormous dragons could not really harm them, though it could efficiently remove the Destruction Energy in their bodies. If that persisted, the abilities of the two enormous dragons would be weakened. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing might not even need to do anything because it seemed like the Elven Empress' Life Saint Energy was enough to help the dragons regain their senses.
Although the Elven Empress was executing everything calmly, she did not look too good. She would occasionally display a worried expression on her face as she glanced every so often at the battle that was happening on the other side. Even though she had restrained Hui Yao and Duo Si at the moment, the power of the two enormous dragons surpassed her expectation. Due to that, the Elf Tribe was not able to assist Zhou Weiqing. Zhou Weiqing was currently facing Fen Tian! That person was the true mastermind after all, how could the Elven Empress not worry?
Even since she and Zhou Weiqing shared a life, Zhou Weiqing's importance had risen to quite a high position in her heart. She definitely did not wish for Zhou Weiqing to experience any danger. This distracted her as she glanced at the battle between Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian. As soon as Zhou Weiqing was in any danger, she would head over there to help immediately.
However, did Zhou Weiqing truly need her help? After a short moment of observation, an expression of astonishment and disbelief appeared on the Goddess of Nature's face that the Elven Empress had transformed into. Among the five battles on the battlefield, the battle with the biggest disparity was not the ones that were fought on the ground. Instead, it was the battle between Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian that was being fought in the air. One was at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier while the other only possessed a cultivation base at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier. The difference in each rank above the Heavenly King Tier was like heaven and earth. Taking that into account, Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian were four ranks apart.
If Fen Tian was fighting a regular Maximum Level Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouse, he would definitely say that he would only need a second to crush the person to death. However, his opponent at the moment was Zhou Weiqing so he had to be cautious. Fen Tian stared coldly at Zhou Weiqing as he ascended to the sky. Neither one of them took the initiative to attack first. In Fen Tian's opinion, Zhou Weiqing's unpredictability posed the biggest threat. He had no idea what Zhou Weiqing's most powerful ability was. Based on the fact that he managed to defeat two Heavenly Emperors even though he was only at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier, he was not someone who was as simple as a regular Maximum Level Heavenly Emperor. Fen Tian grew even more cautious when the gigantic wings unfurled on Zhou Weiqing's back, his eyes filled with a demonic glow.
On the surface, Fen Tian's character seemed to be extremely violent. However, he was actually a very cautious person. He would not attack if he did not have absolute confidence. To put it simply, he was not the type to take unnecessary risks.
The Astral Divine Territory that was hovering above Zhou Weiqing's head made the glow of the white Saint Energy on his body even more dazzling.
"Fen Tian, I can't believe that all of you are sacrificing your ancestors for your personal desire. I shall bring you to justice as a Sect Master."
Fen Tian glared coldly at Zhou Weiqing, "Ancestors are just skeletons if they stayed in their coffins. I've given them the opportunity to be reborn. They should thank me. Though I do admit, I've underestimated you. If only I took you seriously earlier, I would've killed you before you became this powerful and things wouldn't have to be so troublesome. I didn't expect that the one who's obstructing my way at the very end isn't the Heavenly Snow Mountain or the Heavenly Expanse Palace but you, the leader of the so-called Peerless Sect. However, do you really think you can take me on fairly with just your abilities alone?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled, "Since you think I'm no match for you, why don't you attack me now? What're you afraid of? I've seen through you, Fen Tian. You're actually an indecisive person. If I was you, I wouldn't have even waited until now to attack. I would've used all of my power to attack a Saint Land. However, you've only been waiting for the opportunity to suppress the compromise between the Heavenly Expanse Palace and Heavenly Snow Mountain. You're afraid that they'd cause you a huge loss. Oh, that isn't right. That's not the only thing that you're afraid of. Perhaps your ambition isn't as simple as ruling the world. Perhaps Huang Xingyun is your obstacle, maybe even the master pulling your strings has become your target as well. It's very possible that a mad dog like you would bite your master."
"Shut up." Fen Tian's expression changed and his eyes were ferocious. He pointed the heavy sword in his hand at Zhou Weiqing, and a terrifying aura of suppression made Zhou Weiqing unable to speak. Fen Tian's body gave off a purplish-black glow in a frenzy, and a gigantic devouring mouth rose behind him at the same time. The difference between that mouth and Shen Mo's was that there was a faint, gigantic black shadow within the mouth. The shadow seemed to be in the form of an enormous black crab.
A wave of purplish-black light darted out and surrounded his heavy sword as a domineering Destruction Aura shot and shined towards Zhou Weiqing. At the same time, Fen Tian's body was expanding together with the wind, and he expanded to a thousand meters in height in an instant. The gigantic devouring mouth and the black shadow merged with Fen Tian's expanded body while the crab's shadow was imprinted on his chest.
This was the reason why the Elven Empress' expression changed when she saw that — this was the difference between cultivation bases. At that moment, Fen Tian was releasing the Destruction God. The overbearing Destruction Aura seemed like it was going to tear the heavens and earth apart. Even the Natural Divine Territory that the Elven Empress and the twelve Elven Elders had unleashed shrank due to the suppression of the Destructive Divine Territory since the Destruction God appeared. One could imagine how powerful Fen Tian was at that moment.
Although Shen Mo could release his Destructive Divine Territory as well, the difference similar to an adult and a child when compared to Fen Tian. The Maximum Level of the Heavenly God Tier was just a step away from an entirely different realm. Among the crowd, there were two individuals who were at the same level. One was the Elven Empress and the other was Fen Tian. Even the enormous dragon Hui Yao was very far away from this level.
That was true ability, the abilities of a true powerhouse. The heavy sword in Fen Tian's hand expanded following his body. The purplish-black glow on the gigantic heavy sword completely sealed everything around Zhou Weiqing, including his Astral Divine Territory. The terrifying energy wave seemed like it could smash him into powder.
As Fen Tian's opponent, Zhou Weiqing's felt the most intense emotions. The Destruction Energy felt like it was going to tear off his Astral Divine Territory. The terrifying energy wave was moving frenziedly in the air, resulting in Zhou Weiqing being unable to breathe. Fen Tian was furious. The threat that Zhou Weiqing posed made him unleash his most powerful ability. One could only imagine how the Natural Divine Territory could not be compared to the power of the Destructive God in the Destructive Divine Territory any longer. If the Elven Empress did not have the help of the Ancient Elven Tree, it would be impossible to go against Fen Tian under such circumstances.
What should Zhou Weiqing do? The appearance of the Destruction God had caused the battles on the ground to slow down. Countless eyes were trained on the sky, and the powerhouses from Love Valley and Blood Red Hell's had a hint of ferocity in their eyes, their morale flying high. Meanwhile, the powerhouses from the Peerless Sect, Heavenly Snow Mountain, and Heavenly Expanse Palace were clearly stunned. All of them understood that as soon as Zhou Weiqing who was in the air was defeated, it would mean the end of everything once the Destruction God descends from the heavens.
However, right at that very moment, Zhou Weiqing's eyes suddenly lit up. The demonic glow in his eyes shone while the Astral Divine Territory was rapidly shrinking. It then transformed into a cloud of light and flew towards Zhou Weiqing. When it arrived before Zhou Weiqing, it was only the size of a palm. The Astral Divine Territory advanced slowly as it fastened itself on the Starcrux Saint Nucleus Core on Zhou Weiqing's chest before it quietly merged with it. Suddenly, Zhou Weiqing's entire body lit up. Whitish-gold starlight was surging out and supported the territory that belonged to it within the destructive glow by force.
At that moment, Zhou Weiqing's eyes turned gray. He retracted the Dual God Strength Hammers in his hands as a rich gray color instantly emitted out from his right leg. He shot up into the sky like a cloud of black smoke as the whitish-gold starlight surrounded him. Zhou Weiqing's body vanished, and similar to before, a gigantic shadow that also grew to a thousand meters tall appeared in the sky instantly. It was in no way weaker than the Destruction God before them. It had an extremely handsome and a pale face with a pair of gray eyes. In the middle of its forehead, was a fine vein that stretched to the area between its brows. The gigantic shadow was giving off a demonic aura.
Demon God. Yes — this was the Demon God. Zhou Weiqing could not claim a Divine Territory on his own so it was impossible for him to summon the god from his own attribute like Fen Tian. However, it should not be forgotten that he possessed the power of the Demon God in his blood, and the Demon God was also one of the most powerful gods. The Demon God appeared, and with Zhou Weiqing's Nebula Saint Energy, it forcefully broke through the seal from the Destruction God with its overwhelming demonic aura and swelled abruptly.
The Demon God's body was very distinct, and it seemed like it was an entity by itself. If it was not for the fact that not many people that knew Zhou Weiqing only had a cultivation base at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier, they would think that both the Demon God and Destruction God were on the same level. The manifestation of the Destruction God bore a resemblance to Fen Tian's looks as it sparkled with a rich purplish-black glow. Even its eyes were shining with a purplish-black light. Its hair was a devilish purplish, and it was filled with a ruthless aura.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Demon God that Zhou Weiqing transformed into clearly did not look like him. It had a gray robe covering its entire body while its gray eyes were filled with endless pride. Intense disdain gleamed in its eyes as he looked at the Destruction God before him. The two, thousand-meter tall giants faced each other in the air while they released the powerful aura that only gods possessed. The powerhouses from the Heavenly Snow Mountain and Peerless Sect who were in slight despair saw hope again. Although they had no idea how Zhou Weiqing managed to do it, at the very least they now had a powerhouse who could fight the opponent.
Surprisingly, there was a human-like smile on the extremely handsome Demon God's face. In accordance with his odd character, it gave off a demonic yet mysterious feel. Although he was smiling, his gray eyes were filled with extreme coldness.
"Fen Tian, show me how much of God's power your Destruction God wields."
At that moment, the person who was most shocked was Fen Tian. What was a God? It was an entity that completely surpassed the humans. It was a powerful entity that could control the heavens and earth. Naturally, the Destruction God that Fen Tian transformed into was not an actual god. If he could transform into a real god, then he would not only be on the Heavenly God Tier but at the legendary Heavenly Change Tier instead. One could only transform into a god when one achieved the Heavenly Change Tier. If that was the case, how could he still be controlled by his master?
Therefore, the Destruction God was just an imitation that he created by combining his own Destruction Energy and Destructive Divine Territory. Although it was just an imitation, Fen Tian could faintly feel its level and the power of the Heavenly Change Tier. Due to that, he could clearly feel that the Demon God that Zhou Weiqing transformed into was an entity that was on the same level!
Fen Tian knew very well that it was not Zhou Weiqing's actual body. However, even though it was not Zhou Weiqing's actual body, based on the fact that he could summon the Demon God here meant that Fen Tian was on the losing end in terms of the purity of the gods they summoned. 'How did he manage to do it? How exactly did he do it?' Fen Tian had questions in his heart but it did not matter because the battle had to go on.
Just like what Zhou Weiqing said, Fen Tian's character was slightly indecisive. Fen Tian was a little scared when he faced the overbearing Demon God. Moreover, he could sense its powerful aura that was as vast as the starry night. As he lifted up the gigantic sword in his hand, the rich purplish-black glow turned the sky behind his back into a purplish-black color. However, he got into a defensive stance.
On the other side, the Demon God that Zhou Weiqing transformed into did not move as well. It was just standing there quietly as its gray eyes gave off a demonic glow that shone in all directions. The overbearing force of suppression had forced out a path from the Destructive Divine Territory on his side. It did not affect the Natural Divine Territory nor did it look after the powerhouses from the Love Valley and Blood Red Hell. It was not Zhou Weiqing's first time summoning the Demon God. However, there was no doubt the control he had on the Demon God would rise significantly each time he summoned it. Zhou Weiqing only managed to summon a faint consciousness of the Demon God during his first try and the instant protection of the Demon God during his second try. This time, he managed to summon an actual projection of the Demon God. Moreover, it was projected with the part of the abilities of the actual Demon God.
That was how powerful Zhou Weiqing was. The greatness of Saint Energy was boundless, and it allowed him to unleash the power of his bloodline to the highest degree. It was neither possible for Zhou Weiqing to release the actual Demon God, nor was it possible for him to actually become a Demon God. However, he could use the Demon God's power in his battle. Although he had no idea how long this Demon God that he summoned would last, this was the only way to defend against Fen Tian at the moment.
Fen Tian who was a thousand meters tall at the moment, let out a ferocious roar as the terrifying purplish-black light suddenly soared upward. Like countless waves, they hit the gray sky on the Demon God's side. Flashes of purplish-black light transformed into gigantic devouring mouths that were in a frenzy as they tore and destroyed the Demonic Energy in the air.
The Demon God finally moved, and there was a hint of anger on his handsome face. He seemed to be really agitated by Fen Tian. He lifted his hand slowly and the Destructive Energy before him, approximately tens of thousands of meters in the sky completely solidified from the Demon God lifting its hand. The Demon God clenched his right fist tightly as a gigantic crack that traveled tens of thousands of meters in the sky appeared just like that. All the Destruction Energy that was shot at it at the beginning vanished, as the gigantic crack appeared that seemed to tear the sky in half. When the Demonic Energy appeared like a domineering storm with rolling clouds, the Destruction Energy that initially suppressed the Demon God's side was instantly devoured.
Fen Tian widened his eyes in shock as two beams of purplish-black light shot out from his eyes. What did it do? Did the Demon God just devour his Destruction Energy? How was this possible? Could Destruction Energy even be devoured? The Demon God would definitely not be able to devour the Destruction Energy if Fen Tian possessed true Destruction Energy, one that could destroy the world. Unfortunately, his Destruction Energy was similar to Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy. There were impurities in it, and his Destruction Energy was not as pure as Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy. One could imagine how powerful the Demon God was judging by his Devour ability. Moreover, Zhou Weiqing was supporting the Devour Skill with his Saint Energy, causing even the Destruction Energy was devoured by the terrifying Demonic Energy.
Based on Zhou Weiqing's current cultivation base, apart from summoning the Demon God, he would not be able to even release one attack from the Demon God under regular circumstances. What he depended on was Saint Energy! Put simply, if one was to describe Zhou Weiqing's Saint Energy, it would be described as a form of impure Genesis Energy. Humans and most gods were fatally attracted to Genesis Energy. Of course, the Destruction God was an exception because it was an entity that was the exact opposite of Genesis Energy.
Therefore, Zhou Weiqing could borrow the Demonic Energy from the Demon God that he summoned and projected here. The Demon God's actual body could gain Saint Energy from Zhou Weiqing even though its location was unknown. Although it was impure, it was still Genesis Energy after all and was greatly beneficial to the Demon God.
The gigantic crack in the sky was slowly sealing. If the tear was not big enough to devour the entire Boundless Mainland, it would result in the tear vanishing. Fen Tian roared ferociously and swung the gigantic heavy sword towards the Demon God's head with both of his hands. He had given up the plan of attacking with caution. After the attack earlier, Fen Tian was absolutely sure that Zhou Weiqing had transformed into the genuine Demon God. Perhaps, it was not the true Demon God, but it definitely possessed a portion of the Demon God's power. However, if he continued to attack in a testing manner, he would end up being devoured time after time.
The gigantic heavy sword came from the sky. As the Demon God faced the icy cold, purplish-black Destruction Energy, the sky sank. The whole sky seemed like it was cracking from when Fen Tian swung his sword, and the crack spread towards Zhou Weiqing's direction. The Demon God moved as its eyes sparkled. Not only did he not stagger backward, he moved forward with both his hands lifted up and put his palms together on top of his head.
Bang—
Demonic and Destruction Energy spread out immediately and turned into a circle of distorted ripples that exploded in the sky. The collision this time drove the Natural Divine Territory tens of thousands of meters away. Fortunately, the battle between the Six Ultimate Heavenly Emperor Long Shiya and Shen Mo was on the other side of the Natural Divine Territory. Otherwise, the aftershock might affect them, and they might have to temporarily end their battle. It was also fortunate that the collision happened in the air or else the clash might cause half of the Wan Shou Heaven to vanish forever from this world.
What was more terrifying was at the back. As the distorted ripples faded away in the air, what appeared next was shocking. The Demon God's palms that were pressed together abruptly caught Fen Tian's destructive heavy sword. Fen Tian could not move, and it was the first time the two gods were in close proximity to each other. They looked at each other.
The Destruction God's purplish-black eyes had ferocious flames bursting out of it. His huge and muscular arms pressed down with all his strength as he attempted to swing the destructive heavy sword down on the Demon God's body. However, it was obvious that the Demon God's strength was far beyond that of the Destruction God. Its palms that were pressed together did not move at all, and there was not even a chance for the destructive great sword to escape.
That was the difference between an imitation of a god and the projection of a god. Judging by their levels, Fen Tian was below Zhou Weiqing after all. Moreover, the Demon God possessed the Demon God bloodline. That was why the projection had similar characteristics to him and was so powerful. Zhou Weiqing, who had the ten-piece Ringless Ground Purging Set on him, elevated his power by 1024-fold. One could imagine how powerful he was with that elevation of power. Even without the Demon God, Fen Tian might not be Zhou Weiqing's opponent judging from their strength.
The Demon God's right leg moved. It was the most powerful part of Zhou Weiqing's body. His leg kicked towards the side of the Destruction God's face at lightning speed. At that moment, the Destruction God only had two options. He could either let go of his sword or fight forcefully. Naturally, Fen Tian was unwilling to give up on the heavy sword in his hands. He had a weapon while the Demon God did not. He thought it was his biggest advantage at the moment so he chose to fight by force. The Destruction God lifted his left leg and extended his knee to block the Demon God's leg that was kicking at him.
Bang!
It was another tremendous bang. The Destruction God roared, and it caused the Destructive Divine Territory in the air to spread outward temporarily. Those standing below could clearly see a cloud of warped light spreading out, and they could clearly see that the Destructive God's right leg became slightly distorted. It was obvious that he suffered a heavy loss.
The disdain in the Demon God's eyes became even more intense. However, he let go of the destructive heavy sword because the Demon God's hands could not take the Destruction Energy that the destructive heavy sword was giving off. It was good enough because the Destruction God was only left with one leg. By then, it was obvious that who the victor and loser were.
The Demon God's movements were simple. His body suddenly became incorporeal the instant he let go of the destructive heavy sword. The destructive heavy sword swung across its incorporeal body that was a thousand meters tall and landed on nothing. Zhou Weiqing was using the Spatial Law that he was most proficient at, as he controlled the Demon God to utilize the Spatial Law.
As the battle progressed, Fen Tian's experience began to show. He noticed something was wrong when his sword hit nothing, and he reacted instantly by letting go of his sword — at the very end, he decided to let go of his heavy sword. He pressed his fists against each other on his chest and coincidentally blocked the last slap when the Demon God appeared out of thin air. An intense collision exploded in the air and the two gods began fighting again. Meanwhile, the Destruction God's left leg was recovering at a stunning rate. It would not die as long as it had sufficient Destruction Energy. It was not its actual body after all.
Fen Tian's heavy sword that was thousands of meters long fell from the sky directly onto Wan Shou Heaven. The intense bang was like an earthquake, and as a result, Wan Shou Heaven gained a gigantic canyon. The ground split opened as terrifying Destruction Energy spread across almost a hundred miles before it stopped. Naturally, that left a permanent mark on Wan Shou Heaven.
It seemed like it was just the beginning of the battle between the Demon God and Destruction God. Both of them had extremely fast attack speed. Although they were huge, the others could only see a purple and gray shadow shining continuously in the air from the ground. Circles of distorted light spread out from the center of their collision as a powerful wave of energy exploded.
Right at that moment, the victor of a battle was finally decided among the five battlefields. It was the battle between Long Shiya and Shen Mo. Shen Mo had had constantly been on the offensive as his frenzied attacks weakened the gigantic body that Long Shiya continuously transformed into as it weakened the energy waves. What was more important was when Shen Mo found out that Long Shiya's Divine Thought was getting weaker to the point that he could barely control his body any longer.
Putting aside the joy that Shen Mo felt in his heart, it was obvious that the Six Ultimate Heavenly God who had just achieved the Heavenly God Tier had injured himself from balancing the Destruction Energy by displaying his amazing ability to control the six attributes perfectly. He was controlling a massive amount of energy at that time! It must be petrifying to be drained of his Divine Thought. Could he not unleash it anymore, or was he just unable to hold on to it?
Although the continuous onslaught of powerful attacks took a major toll on Shen Mo, he was feeling good. He thought that he would be left with at least half of his Heavenly Energy after killing Long Shiya. As long as he made some slight adjustment, he would be able to continue fighting on the ground.
Shen Mo was not an idiot, he did not plan to fight the Elf Tribe's formation because there were too many powerhouses. Besides, he had also noticed that Dongfang Hanyue was the one who had caused a lot of casualties to the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley by killing ruthlessly on the ground. She alone had killed at least more than 20 Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses from the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley. Presently, her attack speed had dropped due to an excessive consumption of strength. As long as Shen Mo went down to constrain this person, it would not be long before he defeats his enemy in the battle on the ground. Regarding Huang Xingyun and his wife, their life had nothing to do with him. It was best if they died together with the Heavenly Expanse Palace.
Although the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley had a working relationship with the same master, they were not that close to each other. To Shen Mo, Huang Xingyun only had one option when he was faced with life and death — to self-detonate. The explosion from a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse's seld-detonation. It was very likely that both sides would die together and would benefit the Blood Red Hell when they ruled the entire mainland in the future.
Seeing that Long Shiya was starting to lose ground, Shen Mo showcased the battle techniques that he had in store. He was not worried about Fen Tian and Zhou Weiqing's battle. As an onlooker and a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse, he had a clearer view than Fen Tian. He remembered that Zhou Weiqing was only a Maximum Level Heavenly Emperor, and did not possess the cultivation base of a Heavenly God. Although he had no idea how Zhou Weiqing summoned the Demon God, how long could it last? As long as Fen Tian could hold on to his summon longer than him, it was impossible for Zhou Weiqing to win.
Just when as Shen Mo planned this in his heart, a huge impact appeared in waves. The waves came from the Elf Tribe's Natural Divine Territory Formation. It was not that the Elf Tribe was targeting him, but the explosion of energy from the battle between the Demon God and Destruction God was too overbearing and was filled with destruction. It forced the Natural Divine Territory to divert the energy and naturally, it was diverted at their direction.
This situation had happened before so Shen Mo did not panic. It was just that his attack was slightly delayed. He had thought about it — he would launch a fatal attack on Long Shiya as soon as the energy around them calmed down. However, what Shen Mo did not expect was that Long Shiya took the initiative to attack him first for the very first time in their second battle.
Two unimpressive light rings floated out of Long Shiya's body. Due to the fact that Shen Mo had been attacking continuously, Long Shiya body had been weakened so the two, six-colored light rings were only around one meter in diameter. They were coming out of Long Shiya's head and the Six Ultimate Heavenly Path Formation under his feet.
Was this his last struggle before his death? Disdain filled Shen Mo's eyes. He did not bother with Long Shiya's attack at all. The devouring mouth remained glorious and it directed its mouth that was wide open without thinking twice. However, just when that gigantic devouring mouth was about to close, the unimpressive six-colored rings of light that were emitting regular energy waves suddenly accelerated into the mouth.
The two rings of light did not engage the devouring mouth. Instead, they moved towards each other. To be exact, they overlapped one another. The devouring mouth closed at that moment and devoured the both of them. Since the beginning of the battle, the Six Ultimate Heavenly God Long Shiya's chubby face had been serious all the time. However, at this moment, there was a faint smile on his face. Shen Mo saw the expression on Long Shiya's face and wondered what he was smiling about. That was the first thought that Shen Mo had before a gentle energy wave in his devouring mouth.
Yes, the energy explosion was very gentle. However, it caused the Destruction Attribute in his body to collapse at an exceptional speed. Shen Mo's devouring mouth was formed from his real body with his Divine Territory. In a way, it was his actual body! He was shocked when his Destruction Energy collapsed. He could not spit the rings of light out even if he attempted to.
A deep thud sounded as a dense, purplish-black mist of light broke out in the air. The devouring mouth vanished as Shen Mo's real body appeared in the air. However, he did not have the joy of a victory on his face any longer. As he looked at Long Shiya, he pointed his right hand at him while his left hand was pressed against his chest, "You, you…"
The Six Ultimate Heavenly God, Long Shiya looked at Shen Mo and revealed a smile, "You've lost to yourself. If not for your overconfidence, we would both have suffered a great loss in this battle. Sigh, I've become terrible after spending too much time with Little Fatty. I've even learned to deceive."
Under Shen Mo's palm was a small, six-colored palm-sized light ring that was embedded in his chest.
Chapter 827
Shen Mo's body was suspended in the air as he trembled slightly. There was a hint of bitterness on his face, and his eyes looked unwilling; he knew he had lost. He had lost so badly that all hope was lost for him to recover.
Long Shiya was right. He had lost all confidence, was careless, and had really underestimated the Six Ultimate Heavenly God.
Although the Destruction Attribute was powerful, it did not represent everything. Long Shiya had already made a name for himself and also possessed six attributes. He would not have been easy to deal with.
When the second battle between the two began, Long Shiya was at a disadvantage. However, this was part of his plan. Even the results of their first battle had already been foreseen by the Six Ultimate Heavenly God.
Many powerhouses were present but there were not many that could compare with Long Shiya when it came to combat experience. The Six Ultimate Heavenly God did not come from any Saint Land. He arrived at this point with his own effort. The hardships he went through could only be imagined. It could be said that it was because he had survived countless life and death battles before he reached the Heavenly Emperor Tier. It was an achievement he obtained by crawling back from the brink of death numerous times. This was also one of the important reasons why Xue Ao'tian had always admired Long Shiya.
Perhaps Long Shiya���s cultivation base was not the strongest. However, he would not make any mistakes on the battlefield. His sinister self-mocking nature was related to Zhou Weiqing. After spending a long time with his baby apprentice, he also learned something from Zhou Weiqing. For instance, layout.
Long Shiya and Shen Mo were both powerhouses at the Heavenly God Tier. However, in comparison to Long Shiya, even though Shen Mo had the Destruction Attribute, his foundation was very poor. How long had Long Shiya been at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Emperor Tier? He had tempered his Divine Though to an incomparable purity long ago. On top of that, he needed to constantly control his various attributes in his battles. Although the first battle had not consumed a lot of his Divine Thought, it was far from being as powerful as it looked. Even his body swaying in the air was intentionally done to confuse Shen Mo.
Long Shiya had understood for a long time. He knew that he would not be the one deciding the outcome of today's battle. However, he had set his own objective – he wanted to obtain a personal victory. This objective was set the moment Shen Mo appeared.
Later, when he and Shen Mo returned to the camps of their respective sides to recuperate. Without even considering Long Shiya's recovery speed, Zhou Weiqing had secretly sent in a stream of Saint Energy into his teacher's body. This helped him recover his Divine Thought.
That was the reason why Long Shiya went up to fight Shen Mo for the second time – his Divine Thought had already recovered completely. Even if he fought against Shen Mo doggedly, the chances of him winning were higher. However, if he did fight doggedly, exactly like he thought he would, both sides would suffer. Long Shiya was not afraid of this. However, the war was not his only battle! He had to keep his body strong so that he could help his apprentice.
Hence, at the start of the second battle, Long Shiya performed as Shen Mo expected. He was actually saving his energy and waiting for an opportunity.
Zhou Weiqing's engagement in a furious fight in the sky with Fen Tian had reignited the battle here, giving rise to the first opportunity. However, Shen Mo had not completely lowered his vigilance at that time. So, Long Shiya continued to wait patiently. It was his patience that eventually made Shen Mo less vigilant. When the second opportunity presented itself, Long Shiya acted.
The small six-colored halo should not be underestimated. Long Shiya spared no effort in launching his best, and this could even be considered the most powerful attack he had ever used in his life.
The six attributes formed two rings of light with different ratios. When they fused together, the power greatly surpassed the first level of the Heavenly God Tier. More importantly, Long Shiya had thrown in all the Saint Energy that Zhou Weiqing gave him so that Shen Mo would not have a chance for a comeback.
With the combined might of the Saint Energy and Six Ultimate Heavenly God, Shen Mo's Destruction Attribute was unable to fight back. The six-colored halo struck him in the middle of his chest, separating Shen Mo from his Heavenly God Tier Heavenly Core Nucleus. On top of that, it destroyed everything in his body and turned it into nothing.
Puff!
Shen Mo spewed black blood from his mouth. At the same time, a bloody beam of light struck out twice from his chest. The six-colored halo quickly supplanted the bloody beam of light, and the pitch black Heavenly Core Nucleus popped out right into Long Shiya's hand.
Shen Mo's pupils gradually dilated. His entire body shook violently in the air before he fell to the ground. He did not even have the opportunity to blow himself up. However, no matter how unwilling he was, facts could not be changed. His corpse had turned into ash, disappearing before it even reached the ground. Without the defense of the Destruction Heavenly Core Nucleus, his body was prone to the six attribute attack.
In the air, Long Shiya gasped as he took in large breaths. He had paid a tremendous price for his best attack. At the very least, for the time being, he was unable to use the strength of a Heavenly God-tier powerhouse.
He then looked at the other side, at Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian's battle. At this point, their battle resembled a raging fire.
It was indeed a confusing battle – each clash gave off a large distorted circle of light. The Demon God Zhou Weiqing transformed into obviously had the upper hand, especially in terms of power. He had completely suppressed the Destruction God. However, the Destruction God that Fen Tian transformed into was extremely tough. It continued to stand firm under the tyrannical attacks of the Demon God. The battle between the two had hit a thrilling climax.
Long Shiya shook his head lightly and secretly sighed. He knew he was unable to intervene in a duel of this level. Even if he were to rush in, he would only cause trouble for Zhou Weiqing.
After adjusting himself a little, with the help of the Natural Divine Territory in the vicinity, he had recovered some Heavenly strength. He headed for the peak of the Heavenly Snow Mountain before charging down to join the battle between the two sides, where he could best make use of his ability.
Following the end of Long Shiya's battle, it would seem as though the scales of victory were turning in favor of the Peerless Sect, the Heavenly Snow Mountain, and Heavenly Expanse Palace.
Heavenly Expanse Palace aside, the battle here had lasted the longest. However, when Long Shiya joined the battle, the situation changed once again.
Although there were many powerhouses amongst the Red Blood Hell and Love Valley, there were now three Heavenly God powerhouses at the Peerless Sect and Heavenly Snow Mountain's side, such as Dongfang Hanyue – the killing machine. Although the offensive onslaught had slowed down, the Blackfiend Devastation Dragon Slaying Spear would show results every time it was used.
Xue Ao'tian's strength and importance were mainly reflected in his assistance. After rushing into attacks in tandem with Dongfang Hanyue for a while, he began to calm down. The Heavenly Snow Mountain they were affiliated with had suffered damages too quickly. If they continued to fight the same way, there would not be many left in the Heavenly Snow Mountain even if they had won in the end.
That was why Xue Ao'tian changed his tactics to providing support instead. He used his powerful strength to continuously utilize each and every situation to support the powerhouses on his side. With his help, their ability to survive on the battlefield became stronger, regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Snow Mountain powerhouses or the Peerless Sect powerhouses.
Aside from Dongfang Hanyue, the strongest on the battlefield that inflicted the most casualties were the three Shangguan sisters. The three sisters formed a triangular formation; Shangguan Xue'er was at the main point while Shangguan Fei'er and Shangguan Bing'er guarded both sides to maximize the effect of Shangguan Xue'er's attacks. At least a dozen enemies perished in their hands. The remaining half of the Saint Nucleus Core resulted in them being completely unafraid of the enemies' Destruction Attribute.
At this moment, the Heavenly Snow Mountain had lost about twenty men. As for the Peerless Sect, they had very few people left. Only the Heavenly Kings that were previously from the Heavenly Demon Sect King Tier succumbed to two fatalities and an injury. On the other hand, the number of Blood Red Hell and Love Valley powerhouses had dropped drastically to about three hundred people. If this continued, it would be really hard to determine the winner.
The reason why the Heavenly Snow Mountain and the Peerless Sect's losses were so minimal was thanks to the Blackfiend Dragon, along with Dongfang Hanyue. Although the Heavenly Snow Mountain had a large area at its summit, the area was still limited as a residential space. The Blackfiend Dragon's arrival would immediately occupy a large area. This made it impossible for the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley to unleash their full power. At the same time, the battles were only fought in a small area. Dongfang Hanyue's attacks with the Blackfiend Devastation Dragon Slaying Spear was so powerful that when it struck, very few of the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley powerhouses would still dare to take her on.
However, after fighting for a short duration of time, the entire Heavenly Snow Mountain had been reduced to two-thirds of its original height. This was because of the Heavenly King and Heavenly Emperor powerhouses. The destructive power from their clashes was too formidable.
Although Xue Ao'tian was distressed, there was nothing he could do.
In the sky, the battle between the elves and the two huge dragons had also reached a critical juncture.
Perhaps, they had sensed a crisis. The two dragons – the couple Hui Yao and Duo Si, suddenly began a seemingly suicidal attack.
Their intense dark red flame turned nearly a third of the Natural Divine Territory into a shade of dark red. The two dragons roared and their huge bodies gathered with a huge dark red light forming around themselves. The Natural Divine Territory even expanded because of the sudden eruption.
The Elven Empress's transformed goddess-like expression suddenly took a more serious look. She knew what the dragon couple was doing. She put both hands in front of her, circling her body, and the Natural Divine Territory then opened up like a mouth, spitting Hui Yao and Duo Si out. Immediately after that, the enormous amount of energy from the Natural Divine Territory that was full of life aura converged toward the goddess. This included the energy released by the twelve Elven Elders.
Chapter 828
Zhou Weiqing had faced this technique before. It was once used by the Elven Empress after he had accidentally aroused the Sword of the Demon God. However, compared to that point in time, the energy released by the Goddess of Nature now was many times stronger.
With the Goddess of Nature as the center, a massive, crystal clear, dark green ball appeared in the air and rapidly grew in size. It was the same as the dark red ball of light made by the two dragons on the other side. One was red, while the other was green and both were clearly visible in the sky.
The terrifying energy fluctuation crushed the Destruction Divine Territory so much that the battle between the Destruction God and the Demon God elsewhere had slowed down.
The two huge balls of light swelled to almost a kilometer thick in a blink of an eye. The red and the green was an awful combination of colors if anything at all. Nevertheless, it was dazzling.
Because of their enormous size, they could be seen even from the ground. A huge sigil appeared on each of the balls as they expanded in size.
What appeared on the dark red ball of light was a golden and glittering dragon-shaped pattern. It did not seem like a large dragon. Instead, it seemed more like endless, wriggling, golden blood vessels.
The dark green ball of light was different. It also had a pattern but it clearly looked more textured. It was like jade, with leaf-like vein patterns on it. It had a thick Life Aura that constantly dispersed the surrounding Destruction Energy.
Boom!
It was not the dragons and the elves that clashed first, but the Demon God and the Destruction God instead.
The Demon God swung his right leg. The Destruction God clasped his palms together. There was a thunderous roar and both of them retreated, turning into two streams of light that flashed into the distance. They were different from the people on the ground. This violent energy colliding in mid-air will definitely affect those below them.
There was no need for them to wait for the moment of the collision. The energy fluctuations itself were already enough to overwhelm the rest.
It was at this time that the red and the green balls of light moved, carrying with them dazzling trails of fire, as they streamed like comets and crashed into one another.
The movements of the powerhouses battling on the ground on both sides also slowed down considerably. The scene in the sky was so shocking that everyone threw all their Heavenly Energy into their defenses.
The worst ones were the two brothers – Shangguan Tianyang and Tianyue.
"As the moons and stars rotate — Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation!," Shangguan Tianyang shouted. All the powerhouses from the Heavenly Expanse Palace then used their full power.
The Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation suddenly changed. A huge white whirlpool emerged in the sky. The terrifying energy fluctuation caused the Heavenly Snow Mountain to be covered with a layer of white luster.
Immediately after that, following a huge force that came rushing out, two figures shot out like meteors rising to the sky.
The couple, Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun, had been hard-pressed by the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. Although they had always been in a defensive stance, they had been consuming their Heavenly Energy. While the consumption was not that significant, the possibility of them being able to escape had now become smaller, after some time.
Just moments ago, the originally moderate Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation suddenly started attacking wildly. It forced the couple to go all out to deal with it. Huang Xingyun was enraged. The couple broke forth with maximum effort, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
It was also at this time when the pressure on them by the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation had suddenly dropped. Immediately after that, they were flung towards the sky.
The feeling of suddenly breaking free was incomparably comfortable. At that moment, Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun were as happy as birds breaking free from their cages.
'It seems like there isn't enough energy to sustain the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. Now, let's see how I'm going to kill you. I've already escaped. I'm now free to act!'
Just as Huang Xingyun and his wife were overjoyed, preparing to show off their might and slaughter the Heavenly Expanse Palace, they suddenly discovered the tragedy that they were in.
In order to break away from the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation, they made it a point to go higher as they were flung up high into the air. Their attention at that time was still on the whirlpool of the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation below them. When they realized that something was wrong, they looked up and saw the green and red light balls that had almost blanketed the whole sky.
Zhou Weiqing who had transformed into the Demon God trembled a little in the distance, and whispered in his heart, 'Who has been cursing me?'
Shangguan Tianyue's mouth twitched as he laughed loudly. Beside him, Shangguan Tianyang then thought to himself, 'Sigh. He had been around that fool, Zhou Weiqing, for too long… I've been infected.'
It is not known what kind of reaction he would have if he knew that both his teacher and Shangguan Tianyang would push the blame to him every time they did something mischievous.
The red and the green lights finally collided with one another and burst into an incomparably terrifying radiance. It was so terrifying that the energy fluctuations burst out in all directions at the same time.
The green ball showed its superiority when it collided. It only flashed and moved up a little, so that the aftermath of the collision did not smash into the peak of the Heavenly Snow Mountain.
However, that slight move upward was not something fortunate for the now fast-approaching Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun.
Shangguan Tianyang's ability to seize opportunities was indeed excellent. When their bodies reached the highest point, and the red and green balls collided, the couple were also right in the middle of the collision.
There was an incomparable roar that could even be heard from the entire Heavenly Expanse Mainland. A huge black hole appeared at the center of the collision in the sky. The diameter of the black hole was about ten kilometers wide, wildly absorbing all the violent energy.
Huang Xingyun and his wife were like two small birds flying up before they were smashed down by a palm. The speed at which they were slammed down at was ten times faster compared to when they were flying upward. The two already spat out volumes of blood before they could even scream.
Although they were Upper-Level Heavenly God-tier powerhouses, they had expanded a lot of Heavenly Energy in the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. On top of that, the powerhouses clashing in the sky were much more powerful than they were. They had even conserved their energy for that opportune moment. At the center of the collision, how violent would the energy be? Even the Destruction God and the Demon God had escaped, so the couple took a direct hit. It would be rather peculiar indeed if they were able to escape unscathed.
The white whirlpool from the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation was like a large mouth that was mocking them as it swallowed them whole once again. This time, the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation was totally unrestrained. Even if the attack was weak, it still had the power of 108 Heavenly King-tier powerhouses.
If Huang Xingyun and his wife had remained in the formation earlier, they would have endured it for a long time but now, having just been heavily mauled, how long could they hold out for?
As Huang Xingyun and his wife fell, two huge figures also flew out at the same time. It was Hui Yao and Duo Si. But they had not flown out very far before the two green lights shot out, which then engulfed them and pulled them back.
The Goddess of Nature's form reappeared in the sky. The huge black hole that was slowly closing above her head seemed to have no effect on her.
A glittering green glow surrounded the Elven Empress, making her look even more sacred. Eleven Elven Elders also appeared by her side, out of thin air. They jointly created a Divine Territory and isolated the black hole in the sky.
The two dragons were still struggling but their strength had dropped. The Goddess of Nature had pulled them back with the dark green light from her staff. Obviously, the dragons had lost the ability to resist her. The battle between the two dragons and the Elf Tribe had come to its end.
Not much time had passed since the start of the war. However, the battle was extremely fierce. The balance between both sides constantly changed. At one moment, the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley held the advantage. At the next moment, they suffered three defeats out of the five battlefields.
If only Shen Mo had lost to Long Shiya, the overall situation would not be greatly affected. However, at this time, the dragons had lost to the elves and the elves were now free to reverse the situation. On top of that, Huang Xingyun and his wife, both Heavenly God-tier powerhouses, were trapped in the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. It was clear that the winners of the battle were already determined.
When Fen Tian and Zhou Weiqing retreated from each other, Zhou Weiqing was still filled with hope. Fen Tian 1 did not expect Hui Yao and Duo Si to be able to defeat the Elven Empress. He had only hoped that both sides would suffer losses. For him, the biggest threat was the elves. This was because their appearance was a factor that was totally unknown to him.
While he was retreating, Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun were thrown into the air. Even if Fen Tian wanted to rescue them, he would not be able to do so. Besides, he was also not a selfless person. With such a terrifying collision, he would also suffer if he were to get really close to it.
As the situation took a turn for the worse, Fen Tian's eyes immediately seemed to look gloomier than it was before.
The outcome of two out of the five battlefields had already been decided. For him, there was neither suspense nor dawn for him.
The Elven Empress stretched out her right hand. She then flew far away into the distance with the escort of the Elven Elders. Although the two dragons had been stopped, it was not easy to completely control them. Therefore, she was unable to intervene in Zhou Weiqing's battle for the time being, but it was clear that it was only a matter of time.
1. My apologies guys. The author used "He/She" here and I made a mistake. It's referring to Fen Tian
Chapter 829
The Demon God and the Destruction God in the sky appeared to be fighting a solitary battle. However, if the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley still had any opportunities remaining, it would be in the battle between Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian.
Fen Tian had to defeat Zhou Weiqing, and he needed to defeat him before the Elven Empress defeated the two dragons. Only then would it be possible for this battle to continue.
Fortunately for the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley, their strongest advantage was the ancestral powerhouses they revived, most of whom were not self-aware. Therefore, even after the war was no longer in their favor, these powerhouses would still fight desperately.
The Demon God silently looked at the Destruction God. Zhou Weiqing's voice calmly rang in the air, "Fen Tian. Surrender. You no longer have a chance."
Fen Tian's cold voice was vicious. "The victory is not yet final. How can you be so sure that I won't have a chance? Zhou Weiqing, you underestimate the Blood Red Hell. Huang Xingyun may have been rubbish. However, I, Fen Tian, was destined to become the master of this world."
Zhou Weiqing asked, "Fen Tian. You seem to be so obsessed with this, even until this day. I can never understand you. Is power really so important to you? Isn't your life comfortable enough in the lands under the Blood Red Hell rule as a Saint Land?"
Fen Tian then replied, "Zhou Weiqing. You're still young and won't understand. In this world, it's either rule or be ruled. What do you think the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands is? The winner of the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands is essentially the ruler of this world. Why does the most fertile land on the mainland belong to the Zhongtian Empire? If it wasn't due to the Heavenly Expanse Palace winning the championship at the Grand Tournament of Saint Lands successively several times, do you think the other countries would agree? If the Heavenly Expanse Palace could do it, why can't the Red Blood Hell do it? Power is a desire. A supreme desire. It's my life's goal to rule the world."
There was a flash of light in the Demon God's demonic eyes. Zhou Weiqing had no choice but to say, "In that case, there's nothing left for us to say to each other. Let's determine the winner by virtue of strength. Ignoring the fact that you may not defeat me, even if you do, the ultimate winner of today's battle won't be you."
The Destruction God shook his head. "Zhou Weiqing, I have already said this before. You still underestimate me. I wouldn't have come here today without absolute confidence. I've been preparing for this moment for ten; no, twenty years! Destruction will always be destruction. How can your power of creation stop me? Let me just show you, what true destruction really means."
As he spoke, the Destruction God slowly raised his arms. The heavy sword in his hand disappeared. He then clasped his heart with both hands.
"Huh?" For some reason, Zhou Weiqing suddenly felt anxious. He became especially vigilant when he looked at Fen Tian. Zhou Weiqing was actually very depressed now. Originally, he thought that his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Tier. It should only be a minute away from the Heavenly God Tier, and he should be have been able to use the Sword of the Demon God. However, he had already tried it several times before. He could not deploy the Demon God's sword at all.
He once used the Sword of the Demon God to defeat the Elven Empress and ger twelve Elven Elders. Although they were not as strong then as they were now, it was still a Heavenly God coupled with twelve Heavenly Emperor-tier powerhouses at that time! If Zhou Weiqing could use the Sword of the Demon God again, he was seventy percent certain that he could get rid of Fen Tian.
A gray Qi spread out from within the body of the Demon God. His right leg kicked out like a bolt of lightning, and a gray blade of light broke out, flying toward the Destruction God. Zhou Weiqing was testing the water, as he did not know what Fen Tian was going do at the time.
The Destruction God saw the attack coming from the Demon God. However, the look in his eyes did not change in the least bit. It was as if it did not see the Demon God's movements at all.
It was at this moment that the pattern of the large black crab on the chest of the Destruction God lit up. It turned from black to a bright purple. A dazzling halo of purple light then spread out.
Hummmm.
A strange scene unfolded. The blade of light was kicked out by the Demon God, and silently turned into nothing when it arrived about a hundred meters from the Destruction God. Not even energy ripple remained.
'What happened?' With Zhou Weiqing's sharp perception, he immediately discovered that the Destruction God's energy had undergone tremendous changes.
The originally powerful Destruction Energy had been concentrated. It was as though all the Destruction Energy had undergone a thorough change. In every available space, the Destruction Energy was vibrating at a terrifying speed. This made it even more powerful. Moreover, the Destruction Energy was now incredible condensed, making it feel as though the Destruction God had completely transformed into a black hole.
'Fen Tian was already at the peak of the Heavenly God Tier. The Destruction God he transformed into was still evolving. How did he do it?' Zhou Weiqing was full of questions but he could not wait.
The Demon God spread out his arms on both sides of his body. His whole body shook forcefully. Numerous gray balls of light shot out from the body of the Demon God. Each gray ball of light contained energy with multiple attributes.
This was the Dark Demon God Thunder. However, it was not the original Demon God Thunder. When Zhou Weiqing summoned the Demon God, he made full use of all of his attributes. He relied on the Six Ultimate Godly Light Formation to create this new version of the Demon God Thunder by fusing the six attributes together in an orderly manner. It could be said that any one of the balls of light from the Demon God Thunder could make a Heavenly King-tier powerhouse freeze in shock, in absolute amazement. Moreover, thousands of them appeared at the same time. Its power could only be imagined.
The terrifying Demon God's Thunder shot to the sky instantly. It then swiftly headed for the Destruction God. But Zhou Weiqing controlled the Demon God and remained still because the Destruction God floating before him continued to give Zhou Weiqing a sense of peril. It seemed as if a disaster would befall him the very moment he got close.
This time, there was finally a roar. It was as though there were a thousand thunders cracking in the air. Thunder rolled and the sky turned bright. Time, space, darkness, wind, thunder, and evil created a moving melody, albeit a destructive one.
Zhou Weiqing was confident that with such an attack, even a regular Heavenly God-tier powerhouse would suffer heavy damage. Moreover, his current objective was to interrupt whatever Fen Tian was doing.
The horrifying fluctuation of energy severely distorted the space around them. Zhou Weiqing could no longer see the appearance of the Destruction God clearly. Surprisingly, he was still able to see the bright glowing light from the purple crab.
"Zhou Weiqing, it is futile. Since you forced me to do this, All of you will die. Here, today, right now. Except for me, there would be no one else left alive."
Fen Tian's voice seemed to have changed. It was filled with an unexplainable depth, as if he had transformed into a bottomless abyss.
The violent energy fluctuation gradually calmed down. The Destruction God still hovered in the sky. However, the bright purple crab that was originally imprinted on his chest had flown out and floated before Fen Tian.
The Destruction God's body was already large enough. However, when this bright purple light spread out, it was three times larger than that.
At this moment, it no longer showed a bright purple light. Instead, the center was dark like a black hole, surrounded by a bright purple and misty light.
It was pure Destruction Energy. Zhou Weiqing turned pale with shock because he could clearly feel that the Destruction Energy emanating from the silhouette of the large crab had already surpassed his Nebula Saint Energy in purity. This meant that this was the first time ever since he possessed the Saint Energy, that he encountered a person with a purer Destruction Energy than his Saint Energy.
'Fen Tian still has something like this up his sleeves?'
It was at this moment that the Destruction God made a move that Zhou Weiqing could not understand. It kneeled down mid-air, on both knees as it faced and worshipped the large crab.
"Great Lord. Please, give me strength." Fen Tian's voice reverberated through the air. At the same time, the purple radiance shrouded the Destruction God's body.
Zhou Weiqing wanted to attack again but alas, he suddenly heard the voice of the Elven Empress in his mind. "It's useless. He has tapped into the power of the Netherworld. Although I don't know how he did it, the intensity of energy around the body of the Destruction God is already equal to one you'd find in the Netherworld."
Zhou Weiqing was aghast as he asked, "Then, what should we do? The Netherworld's power is probably not confined to the powers of a Heavenly God. How are we going to deal with this?"
The Elven Empress then said, "Rest assured. He can only borrow the energy from the Netherworld. However, he cannot directly control the energy for an attacks. It's similar to you, only being able to create the projection of the Demon God but it isn't the real deal. If I'm not mistaken, he should be using the energy from the Netherworld to enhance his own strength, and his cultivation base will ascend to a greater height soon. As for how much he'll be able to improve himself, I can't determine. However, since he's only a Netherworld servant, it'll be impossible for his cultivation to ever be able to compare to the Netherworld. On top of that, the Nether Lord is extremely greedy. It must've cost Fen Tian a hefty price to borrow his energy. All we can do now is wait. Once the outer layer of the Netherworld's energy disappears, your attack will become effective. You should quickly cultivate to the next level now, or we won't have a chance at all."
Chapter 830
Zhou Weiqing frowned sternly. "How much can he level up?"
The Elven Empress replied, "While it'll be impossible for Fen Tian's cultivation base to level up to the Netherworld Lord's level, his Destruction Energy would surely become purer. The only thing that can restrain his Destruction Energy is your Saint Energy. That's the reason why you must make your Saint Energy purer than his Destruction Energy. Otherwise, no one would be able to deal with him. Don't worry. With my help, I believe that we'll be the ultimate winners."
After listening to the Elven Empress, Zhou Weiqing calmed down a little. Lights flashed and the Astral Divine Territory appeared again, floating above the Demon God's head. Under the bright starlight, the Demon God that was originally filled with an evil aura unexpectedly looked divine.
"Ah!" A sad and shrill voice suddenly came from the Destruction God. In the purplish-black light, the Destruction God's body began twisting and suddenly trembled violently.
A large hand appeared from the void. A horrifying pull suddenly burst out in the mid-air.
What was Fen Tian trying to do?
Zhou Weiqing who was preparing for some action was shocked. What he was most worried about was that Fen Tian would launch an attack against the Peerless Sect in his current state. Those in the Peerless Sect were his companions and loved ones.
However, Zhou Weiqing's worries were unnecessary. Ten figures surged to the sky from below, toward the large pulling force. However, they did not belong to the Peerless Sect, the Heavenly Snow Mountain, or the Heavenly Expanse Palace. They were powerhouses from the Blood Red Hell.
Amongst the ten fighters, four were sentient while the other six only had their fighting instincts with them. As they rose to the sky, there was a layer of a dark purple light around their bodies. However, when compared to the Destruction God, the purple light was much lighter.
What was Fen Tian trying to do? 1
Zhou Weiqing looked carefully and discovered that the Blood Red Hell powerhouses who were rising into the air were also shocked. This was obviously not something Fen Tian pre-arranged.
The next moment, Zhou Weiqing finally understood Fen Tian's objective.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!… A peculiar sound was heard consecutively. The Blood Red Hell powerhouses that rose towards the purple radiance around the Destruction God exploded into clouds of blood. When their bodies exploded, so did their Heavenly Core Nucleus. Then, it formed dark purplish balls of light that merged with the huge, purplish-black radiance. The assimilation of these light balls caused the Destruction God's body to seemingly fade a little. Only its huge palm continued to face down as it absorbed the mist.
He was absorbing all those powerhouses that have the Destruction Attribute into himself! Who would have thought that Fen Tian could still perform such a malicious maneuver? It was no wonder he waited until this point to use it. He only did this when he no longer had any alternatives. After absorbing the Destruction Attribute of these Heavenly King-tier powerhouses, his strength would certainly increase immensely.
The Demon God's body also flashed at the same time. It was just like what the Elven Empress had said. Zhou Weiqing could not wait any longer. If Fen Tian really completed his merging, who would be able to stop him?
A ball of light, mixed with platinum and golden colors hovered above the Demon God's chest. On top of his head, the radiance of the Astral Divine Territory suddenly became richer and stronger. The nebula, formed by tens million rays of starlight formed rotated violently. The eye-catching brilliance clearly illuminated the body of the Demon God.
The Demon God stretched out his hands and made a downward move. Immediately after that, balls of light rose from beneath and flew toward the Demon God.
The people from the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley were now in confusion. In the sky, Fen Tian continued to absorb the powerhouses, and within a short time, dozens of people had already exploded into bloody clouds and disappeared into the void just like that. They did not die at the hands of their enemies but by the hands of one of their own. How could they not panic? Among them, the first to be absorbed were the ones in charge of controlling the powerhouses from Blood Red Hell that had lost all sentience, as well as the ones from Love Valley who were controlling the insentient ancestors. However, the Destruction God's actions resembled that of a greedy, terrifying demon that had no intention of stopping anytime soon.
Originally, the two sides were evenly matched on the battlefield. This unexpected situation caused a huge confusion among the Blood Red Hell and the Love Valley.
How could this opportunity be missed by Xue Ao'tian, Shangguan Xue'er, Dongfang Hanyue, and the others? They first probed a little, and after finding out that the power from the Destruction God's action had no effect on them, they immediately launched an all-around counter attack. Within a short moment, the Blood Red Hell and Love Valley suffered a crushing defeat. In the beginning, they could still put up some resistance. When the Destruction God continued absorbing them one after the other, they were finally unable to hold out any longer. So, they immediately fled and scattered in the sky, trying to escape.
However, they had forgotten that the peak of the Heavenly Snow Mountain had already been shrouded in the Destruction Divine Territory. If Fen Tian did not allow them to leave, would they even be able to leave?
The entire battlefield became chaotic. Although the sky was calm, the crisis that could happen at any moment was even more terrifying.
At Fen Tian's side, he was constantly merging with the subordinates that he had drawn to him. Zhou Weiqing's Demon God was also doing something similar, but without any murder involved. Instead, he absorbed the Heavenly Core Nuclei and released it into the Astral Divine Territory. Without a doubt, it was Star Feedback.
Before this, Zhou Weiqing had already killed several enemy powerhouses. Quite a considerable amount of powerhouses died on the battlefield. Fen Tian needed to absorb it from living bodies but Zhou Weiqing only needed the Nucleus Core.
For a period of time, the Demon God and the Destruction God were immersed in a different colored display of light. The brilliance of creation and destruction sparkled symphonically, sending a continuous dazzling splendor into the sky
"Weiqing, catch!" Six Ultimate Heavenly God, Long Shiya, swung out his right hand. A beam of light shot high up into the sky. He had killed Shen Mo earlier.
Before he came here, Zhou Weiqing told his powerhouses that upon killing their enemies, they had to seize their Heavenly Core Nuclei and give them to him as soon as possible. He was now at the Maximum Level of the Heavenly Emperor Tier. However, even with Saint Energy, breaking through to the Heavenly God Tier would not be easy. However, as long as he was able to obtain sufficient Heavenly Core Nuclei for his Star Feedback, the chance for a breakthrough would definitely be much greater. The greatest advantage Saint Energy had given him was that he would not need to worry about a possible rebound or his foundation being insufficient.
When there was confusion on the Heavenly Snow Mountain while Zhou Weiqing and Fen Tian were both building their strength, there was a fierce burst of fluctuating energy at the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation.
The dreamy white clouds disappeared almost instantly. More than a hundred figures scattered all over the sky at breakneck speed.
"Brother Xue, let's go. Quickly!" Shangguan Tianyang's voice burst out in the sky. The energy fluctuation that was already very intense spread out even further because of the dispersion of the clouds.
Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun were quietly standing on the peak of the Heavenly Snow Mountain. They held each other's hands, looking calm. However, a bright purple color slowly spread out from their chests.
Xu Ao'tian heard Shangguan Tianyang's voice and immediately turned his head to take a look. The moment he laid eyes on them, he could not help but gasp with astonishment. He then grabbed Tian'er and escaped.
'They're going to self-detonate.'
It was true. Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun were going self-detonate. They could no longer fight the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation. This was because they had suffered heavy injuries during the collision between the elves and dragons. They could not hold out much longer.
Dragging Dongfang Hanyue along, the Blackfiend Dragon escaped even faster than Xue Ao'tian. They rushed out immediately after the Heavenly Expanse Infinitum Great Formation collapsed.
Shangguan Bing'er escaped while holding her two sisters — one in each hand — as she flapped the Wings of the Wind God with all her might. Surprisingly, she was not much slower than the Blackfiend Dragon.
At this moment, the only people Six Ultimate Heavenly God, Long Shiya could help were the members of the Peerless Sect as he quickly fled far away as well. The fighters on the Heavenly Snow Mountain were equally proficient. Unless their parents gave birth to them without both their legs, they ran as fast as they could.
While everyone scattered away as though they had encountered a plague, the couple quietly held each other's hands as they slowly turned around to look at one another.
"Xingyun, why are you doing this?" Yun Ruoyun looked distressingly at her husband as she gently caressed his face. Earlier, she had taken the lead in choosing to detonate her Heavenly Core Nucleus in order to give her husband a chance to live.
"You fool. We've been together for nearly a hundred years, never once were we apart from one another. No matter how ambitious I am, no matter how much I desire to rule the world, without you by my side, will all these things even matter?" 2Huang Xingyun held the hand that was caressing his face.
At that moment, the Love Valley Lord no longer had a treacherous and vicious gaze. Instead, his eyes were filled with an endless affection for his wife.
"If we cannot live a glorious life, we'll have a glorious death! Ruoyun, at the end of the tunnel, we'll still be together. If there's a life after this, you're the only one I'll want to be with."
Yun Ruoyun slowly closed her eyes. She could clearly feel that she could no longer hold back the Heavenly Core Nucleus from exploding. If it was to kill the enemy, they should not stop here.
However, at this time, their hearts were full of reluctance. They were neither reluctant to part with their lives nor the world. Instead, they were reluctant to part with one another. They wanted one good look at each other for just a moment longer. Although they had been with for close to a hundred years, they were unable to get enough of each other at this moment. They only wanted to be able to imprint the face of their loved one within their hearts.
The Heavenly Snow Mountain was now almost empty. Everyone had run far away as Huang Xingyun and Yun Ruoyun struggled to restrain the energy that was about to burst within their bodies.
The two only stared at each other affectionately. It was the end of their love story, but you could say that this was probably the start of an entirely new beginning.
