Above the ruins of Sky Evolution Realm, the light of the blood-colored Formation pulsed violently like a heartbeat.
Sky Yin Realm Master raised the Blood Soul Banner high. The blood-colored streams of light flowing on the banner emitted sharp roars. Each stream of light was once the remnant Soul of a World Lord-level expert. At this moment, under the traction of the banner Formation, they transformed into countless blood spears, launching a barrage of attacks towards the Yin Realm King.
A black sea surged around the Yin Realm King, forming layers of black barriers.
The blood spears crashed against the barriers, producing deafening roars, but they could never break through that seemingly fragile defense.
The Yin Realm King stood at the center of the Formation's core, his crimson eyes sweeping around: "Do you really think you can trap and kill this King with these remnant Souls and useless banners?"
Before his words finished, the Di Yin World Lord and Mysterious Yin Realm Master simultaneously formed hand seals. Subsequently, countless pale bone claws tore through the Void Realm, intertwining like a dense forest. The tips of the bone claws dripped with a corrosive, eerie green poison that could corrode the Divine Soul.
In the Void Realm, the Profound Ice Realm Master used Profound Ice Law to condense countless ice crystals. Within these ice crystals, solidified lightning fragments were sealed. Touching them would result in being torn apart by the lightning.
"Myriad Ghosts Devour Soul!"
The Sky Yin Realm Master abruptly plunged the Blood Soul Banner into the ground.
The core of the Formation suddenly collapsed, transforming into a bottomless, pitch-black vortex.
From the vortex, countless distorted ghost shadows surged out, scrambling over each other. They ignored spatial distance and directly attacked the Yin Realm King's Sea of Consciousness, attempting to tear apart his Divine Soul.
The Yin Realm King let out a muffled groan, his Sea of Consciousness shaking. Yet, he opened his mouth and inhaled, and half of the ghost shadows in the vortex were actually forcibly swallowed into his belly.
"How could this King's Divine Soul be touched by these little ghosts?"
The sea of blood around him surged, and he actually began to devour the ghost shadows in reverse, using them as a supplement to his own Origin.
"Suppress!"
At this moment, the Evil God Realm Master and the Dead Spirit Realm Master simultaneously shouted softly, attacking together.
Behind the Evil God Realm Master, a phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god appeared. The demonic blade in his hand sliced out a black rift. Wherever the rift passed, even the spatial barrier of the Formation was forcibly torn apart. The Dead Spirit Realm Master, on the other hand, summoned countless corpses. The torrent formed by these corpses crashed against the Yin Realm King's blood barrier like a tide. The netherworld flames burning on the corpses specifically countered the Yin Realm King's black sea barrier.
"Is this all the strength you have? This isn't enough!"
The Yin Realm King licked the blood from the corner of his lips, his fingertip tracing through the Void Realm.
Then, a pitch-black token appeared in his palm. In the skull's eye sockets on the token, two clusters of eerie flames suddenly flared, it was precisely the Yin Realm King Token. However, unlike the one in the Sky Yin Realm Master's hand, this Yin Realm King Token contained a powerful Dao aura.
"By decree!"
The moment the token was thrown, the entire ruin trembled violently, and a black hole appeared out of thin air.
A Yin Sha Guard emerged from the Void Realm. They held bone blades and wore black armor, forming a silent army. They actually used their flesh and blood to collide with the attacks of the eight World Lords.
This was the most elite branch of the Yin Sha Guard. Every person in it was a Cultivator of the Extreme Dao Realm. In lower-tier realms, they could even serve as World Lords. This was also the most powerful force under the Yin Realm King.
Besides the Yin Sha Guard, three other figures also rushed out.
The Yin Sha Guard Commander Nether Slaughter, the Blood Slaughter Guard Commander Blood Slaughter, and the World Devourer Guard Commander Shi Tu. All three were capable of fighting Advanced Realm World Lords alone. Even some Advanced World Lords who had assimilated the Origin power of their realms were not their match.
"Help the King break through!"
Shi Tu was the first to attack. He was the Yin Realm King's top subordinate, rumored to have fought the Dead Spirit Realm Master to a draw. He proactively sought out the Dead Spirit Realm Master, and with the help of Nether Slaughter and Blood Slaughter, they broke through the combined offensive of the Evil God Realm Master and the Dead Spirit Realm Master.
The three of them working together temporarily blocked the attacks of the two, greatly alleviating the pressure on the Yin Realm King. Furthermore, an entire elite Yin Sha Guard united to block the Profound Ice Realm Master and Nether Shadow Realm Master. For a time, the only enemies remaining before the Yin Realm King were the Sky Yin Realm Master, who held the Blood Soul Banner, and the Di Yin World Lord and Mysterious Yin Realm Master.
"Quickly eliminate the Yin Sha Guard! They can't hold on for much longer!" Nether Shadow Realm Master warned sharply.
Her figure merged into the shadows, and ten Clones simultaneously appeared around her. Shadow runes wrapped around them like chains, intending to directly annihilate that Yin Sha Guard unit.
The Profound Ice Realm Master followed closely. Lightning and ice intertwined into a net. At the mesh points, the electric light of the Law of Destruction flickered. Along with the shadow chains, it climbed up and smashed fiercely onto the Yin Sha Guards.
"Profound Ice Lightning Prison!"
He let out a low roar. Countless bolts of lightning radiated outwards from his body, then suddenly contracted. The ice froze the Yin Sha Guard's movements, while the lightning frantically tore apart their bodies.
This was a new technique he had comprehended after devouring the Lightning Dao of the Thunder Firmament Realm. Profound Ice and lightning, the effect was surprisingly good. Most of the Yin Sha Guards instantly lost their ability to move.
With only three opponents, the Yin Realm King could finally unleash his full power, no longer needing to hold back too much.
"Three traitors, die!"
Before his words finished, the black sea around the Yin Realm King suddenly contracted, forming a black orb condensed to the extreme. Strange runes flowed on the surface of the orb. This was a treasure he had refined for many years, containing the Origin power of the Yin Realm. Compared to the Blood Soul Banner, which was a fusion of three banners, there might be some disparity, but it was definitely far superior to other nine-rank divine objects.
"Second and Third! Switch!"
The Sky Yin Realm Master roared. The Di Yin World Lord and Mysterious Yin Realm Master did not hesitate, each crushing the blue glowing spheres in their hands.
In the next instant, the Di Yin World Lord, Mysterious Yin Realm Master, Dead Spirit Realm Master, and Evil God Realm Master swapped positions.
The two who had lost their Mysterious Yin Banners were significantly weaker than the Dead Spirit and Evil God. This was something they had decided beforehand, as it was no secret that the Yin Realm King had subordinates capable of fighting top-tier realms. They had long been prepared.
The Yin Realm King didn't care about this. It didn't matter to him who the three opponents were.
"Die!"
He roared, raising the black orb high in his hand. The black orb instantly expanded, and an aura capable of destroying an Advanced Realm surged forth.
The Evil God Realm Master's demon god phantom stood at the very front, all six arms forming seals simultaneously. A shield covered in demonic patterns appeared on the demon god's chest. The Dead Spirit Realm Master, on the other hand, condensed countless corpses into an ancient bronze coffin. The runes on the ancient coffin lit up, emanating an aura that suppressed all ages. The final line of defense was the Sky Yin Realm Master, who held the Blood Soul Banner. The red streams of light on it transformed into blood-red skeletons, all charging towards the black orb.
The black orb exploded with a roar!
A destructive energy storm swept across the entire ruin. The flowing lights and remnant Souls on the Blood Soul Banner were annihilated inch by inch in the storm. The demon god's shield was covered in cracks, and the ancient bronze coffin was sent flying a thousand miles.
The Evil God Realm Master and the Dead Spirit Realm Master bore the brunt of the attack. Their protective light shields instantly shattered, and both simultaneously spat out a mouthful of vital blood, their aura plummeting.
In the Chaos, the Yin Realm King seized the opportunity, transforming into a bloody rainbow, and charged towards the weakest point of the Formation, intending to first break through the Tian Yan World Lord's Formation.
"Stop him!"
The Profound Ice Realm Master roared. The Profound Ice Lightning Prison flew out again. Just now, he and the Nether Shadow Realm Master had joined forces, and the Nether Shadow Realm Master had paid a considerable price to kill that Yin Sha Guard unit.
However, the Profound Ice Realm Master had just Advanced, and his foundation was not deep enough. The Yin Realm King's body directly penetrated the electric net. The ice melted the moment it touched the Qi and blood around him, and the lightning was forcibly devoured.
The Nether Shadow Realm Master was in an even worse state than the Profound Ice Realm Master. The defensive line she constructed didn't even cause any hindrance to the Yin Realm King. The Yin Realm King crashed into the Sky Evolution Realm's Grand Formation like this, causing the entire Grand Formation to shake.
The Tian Yan World Lord coughed up blood, his withered hands pressed firmly on the center of the Formation's core, trying to stabilize the violent trembling of the Sky Evolution Realm's Grand Formation and ensure its stability. He took one last look at the ruins of Sky Evolution Realm, then, as if having made up his mind, he drew out the remaining vital blood from his heart and infused it into the tortoise shell beneath him.
The patterns on the tortoise shell beneath him lit up inch by inch. Every ray of light was drawing out his last bit of life force. This was the ultimate killing move he had prepared for the Yin Realm King, using his own Dao foundation as a guide, the Sky Evolution Realm Formation as a conduit, to detonate the Origin power of the entire Sky Evolution Realm.
"Yin Art, bear the Sky Evolution Realm's millennia of wrath!"
The Tian Yan World Lord threw his head back and laughed wildly, countless streams of blood gushing from his mouth.
Before his words finished, the tortoise shell Formation patterns suddenly shattered, transforming into countless golden streams of light, spreading wildly along the Sky Evolution Realm's Grand Formation.
The space of the Sky Evolution Realm's original realm began to twist and collapse. Those suspended realm fragments were no longer colliding chaotically, but instead, following some profound trajectory, condensed into a gigantic light spear that pierced through the Star Domain!
The light spear pointed directly at the Yin Realm King. The spearhead flowed with the aura of Chaos at its inception. That was the Origin accumulated by Sky Evolution Realm over countless years, now completely ignited by the Tian Yan World Lord at the cost of his life.
The Yin Realm King's pupils constricted. He could feel the power contained within that light spear, making him feel that he absolutely could not resist it.
His Qi Sea surged, and the black sea barrier instantly thickened a hundredfold. The skull-engraved token in his hand erupted with a sky-piercing bloody light, attempting to block this ultimate killing blow.
"You and your Master deserve to die!"
The Yin Realm King roared. In the black sea around him, countless phantom blame Souls appeared, forming a blood-colored net that covered the sky and earth, tightly shrouding the light spear.
However, the light spear was not hindered in the slightest. Wherever the golden light passed, the phantom blame Souls melted like ice and snow, and the blood net shattered inch by inch.
The moment the light spear pierced through the black sea barrier, it emitted a piercing tearing sound. The surface of the barrier was covered with dense cracks, and black seawater evaporated into white smoke.
"Pfft—!"
The light spear grazed the Yin Realm King's shoulder, bringing with it a splash of crimson blood. The flesh and blood on his shoulder were instantly devoured by the golden streams of light, revealing his pale white bones. The surface of the bones showed scorching burn marks. This was an injury caused by the Origin power of Sky Evolution Realm, preventing him from healing quickly.
Half of his body was continuously being incinerated by the power of this light spear. The Yin Realm King could only resist with his Dao cultivation.
Even more terrifying, the light spear's momentum remained undiminished, striking the three people behind him.
Shi Tu hastily raised his bone shield, but it was easily pierced by the light spear. The bone shield and his body simultaneously turned to dust, leaving not even a trace of his Divine Soul.
The two behind Shi Tu also turned to dust under this single spear.
"You deserve to die!"
The Yin Realm King roared and charged towards the Tian Yan World Lord.
With the death of Shi Tu and the two others, the most elite team of the Yin Sha Guard was also completely annihilated. The Yin Realm King was completely isolated. Even if he could suppress this rebellion, he would not be able to establish himself in the short term. The other major Star Domain were all eyeing his Yin Realm Starfield like tigers. They were not Saints.
The Tian Yan World Lord's figure was almost transparent. He watched the Yin Realm King get injured, and watched Shi Tu and the other two die, and a relieved smile finally appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He took one last look at the battle, and his figure completely transformed into specks of light, merging into every pattern of the Grand Formation. The Origin power of Sky Evolution Realm was still surging, like a maggot attached to bone, firmly locking onto the Yin Realm King's aura.
Unable to kill the Tian Yan World Lord with his own hands, the Yin Realm King's eyes turned crimson, and he set his sights on the weaker Profound Ice Realm Master and Nether Shadow Realm Master.
But how could the Sky Yin Realm Master and the others miss such a good opportunity?
"Kill!"
The Sky Yin Realm Master seized the opportunity, wildly waving the Blood Soul Banner. The blood-colored streams of light on the banner condensed into a blood Dragon, roaring as it charged towards the Yin Realm King.
The Evil God Realm Master's demon god phantom swung all six arms. The black rifts cut out by the demonic blades sealed all of the Yin Realm King's retreat paths.
The Dead Spirit Realm Master, on the other hand, activated the ancient bronze coffin. The coffin lid opened, spewing out countless netherworld ghost flames, specifically burning the Yin Realm King's Origin.
The Nether Shadow Realm Master and the Profound Ice Realm Master outflanked him from both sides. Shadow runes and lightning-infused ice intertwined into a net, trapping the Yin Realm King in the center.
The Di Yin World Lord and Mysterious Yin Realm Master, meanwhile, unleashed the Origin power of their two realms. This Origin power, like chains, wrapped around the Yin Realm King's limbs.
The Yin Realm King roared, bathed in blood, and an unprecedented aura of Yin Sha erupted from his body. He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled. The scattered black sea fragments actually flowed back, condensing into a ferocious black armor on his body. Countless skull heads appeared on the black armor, each skull roaring, exuding a pressure that could freeze one's Soul.
"A bunch of clowns, still daring to covet this King's position?"
The Yin Realm King's fingertip traced through the Void Realm, and a ten-foot-long bone sword appeared in the black sea. The sword body was covered with malicious curse runes.
The moment the bone sword was swung, a pitch-black Sword Qi tore through the blood Dragon, shattered the netherworld ghost flames, and even split open a gap in the demon god phantom's shield.
The Evil God Realm Master grunted and retreated, the demonic patterns on the demon god phantom's chest dimming by a third.
"Break!" The Yin Realm King, using the force, charged forward furiously. His bone sword swept horizontally, forcing back the Sky Yin Realm Master and the Dead Spirit Realm Master. The skull heads on his blood armor simultaneously spewed out black mist. The black mist landed and transformed into countless Yin Sha Guard phantoms, temporarily entangling the Nether Shadow Realm Master and the Profound Ice Realm Master.
"This is his last trump card. He's already at the end of his rope!"
The Sky Yin Realm Master understood the Yin Realm King best. This black armor and black sword were the Yin Realm King's final trump cards. Every time he used them, the Yin Realm King would suffer a backlash. In other words, the current Yin Realm King had been forced to a dead end.
"Come on, who wants to die first!"
The Yin Realm King forced back the three with one sword, then pointed his sword at everyone.
"Heh, I'll go!"
The Mysterious Yin Realm Master was the first to attack, followed closely by the Evil God Realm Master, and the rest of the group also joined in.
The Yin Realm King proactively shattered the black sea, transforming it into a black mist that enveloped the entire battlefield.
Outside Sky Evolution Realm, Li Mu stood with his arms crossed, his figure hidden in the Void Realm, watching the scene before him with interest.
As soon as he emerged from Night Shadow World, he received news from Divine Lord Blood Slaughter that the Yin Realm King was fighting eight people alone. Li Mu immediately used the newly acquired shadow star core to teleport nearby.
When both sides were severely wounded, that would be the time for Li Mu to act. (End of Chapter)
