A Night of Desperation

Chapter 390: Battlefield 388 II

Fierce purple flames burned and surged over ten meters high before rapidly dyeing the surrounding gray sand into purple-red.

The colored sand began to rapidly darken, as if aging and withering.

Along with it, the entire Spiritual Domain’s atmosphere plummeted in a free fall, and the space cracked.

Thump.

The second heartbeat began.

The beams were ineffective; the stone statues all raised their hands, forming translucent massive palms that struck towards Yu Hong.

But all the palms still in midair, were set ablaze by the purple-red Inner Strength flames, and crumbled into nothing in the blink of an eye.

The purple-red pillar of fire quickly spread while amidst Yu Hong’s laughter, igniting the surroundings.

Before long, before the third heartbeat could even resonate,

this slice of heaven and earth surfaced with massive cracks, then with a crashing noise, everything nearby completely collapsed.

Yu Hong returned to the canyon once more.

And not far ahead of him, the silenced real person had crawled out of the stone wall again, his face pale, lying on the ground unable to move, his eyes and nostrils bleeding profusely.

Yu Hong took out a utility meter from his waist, which had automatically detected that the Spiritual Fluctuation Value had already breached over a million!

It was currently falling rapidly.

"Given up?" Yu Hong looked towards him.

"....." The silenced real person had a terrible complexion and remained silent. With a gaze as if looking at a monster, he stared fixedly at Yu Hong.

From the moment the Spiritual Domain was broken, he understood that the current Yu Hong, regardless of his Spiritual Cultivation, his pure strength had already reached the pinnacle level of a Heavenly Master.

He was no longer someone he could contend with.

Sizzle.

A speck of silver light shot out, accurately entering the forehead of the silenced.

Yu Hong looked towards the other Sect Leaders of the Nine Sects with difficult expressions.

"Three seconds for you."

Silence.

Several Sect Leaders lowered their heads in silence.

Not to mention several of them had been injured earlier and were participating in the battle by dragging their injured bodies.

Even at their full peak, the strength of the silenced real person was second only to two Heavenly Masters among the Nine Sects.

Yet, such strength, even after fully activating the Divine Intent of the Inheritance Dao Artifact and descending into the Spiritual Domain, ended up being forcibly torn apart internally by the opponent.

This meant that the internal Divine Intent rules of the Spiritual Domain could not suppress the opponent, indicating that the Spiritual Domain itself, deemed impenetrable, simply couldn’t trap the opponent.

In the Warlock World, there was only one situation that could result in such an outcome.

That was when the spiritual cultivation gap and the realms of Dao Breath between the two parties were too vast.

The quality gap in Dao Breath was so vast that the one trapped could use the Dao Breath alone to forcefully burst the Spiritual Domain.

"We... concede!"

Jinxiao Temple’s Mo, the Temple Master, spoke as he raised his hand. Since they were all from the Taoist Sect, surrendering to their own people wasn’t shameful to him, especially to such a young supreme talent.

He remembered his Master’s teachings well, not to bargain with a genius who greatly surpassed oneself, because the gap in their levels was too vast, and would only grow in the future.

The other Sect Leaders were speechless, their thoughts unknown.

But Yu Hong was too lazy to care about these minor matters.

He waved his hand, scattering a shower of silver Spirit Light.

"Let down your defenses and integrate with it, then I will trust you."

The silver light flew in front of these Sect Leaders, initially blocked by the Passive Technique.

Hearing this, Jinxiao Temple’s Mo, the Temple Master, without another word, dispersed his Technique and reached out to touch the Spirit Light.

The silenced real person also closed his eyes, silently allowing the Spirit Light to penetrate his forehead and spread throughout his body.

Soon, under his astonished and shocked sensation, the Spirit Light quickly repaired his body.

The rest hesitated for a moment, but eventually had to follow suit.

From the moment Yu Hong appeared, the display of his overwhelming strength by Qingchen Temple’s Temple Master had been staggering.

Whether it was the resistance of the Seven Evils or the Spiritual Domains of the Nine Sects, in his presence, they were like toys, easily broken with a wave of his hand.

Just get through this for now, pretending to absorb it into the body.

"From now on, the Taoist Sect... may change..." Su Ling, the Taoist, reached out to grab the Spirit Light, letting it merge into her skin as she sighed softly.

"It’s not just the Taoist Sect, but the entire Warlock World that’s going to change...."

Huang Song, the Taoist of the Supreme Ningxu Palace, had just woken up from unconsciousness not long ago, encountering such an event as soon as he came out, he too was sighing heavily.

The other few were lost for words.

Not until the last person also merged with the Spirit Light, did Yu Hong, satisfied that he could control the Spirit Light of everyone present, finally relaxed.

The combined strength of the Seven Evils and the Sect Leaders of the Nine Sects, using the Inheritance Dao Artifact, could erupt a Spiritual Domain strength with a Spiritual Fluctuation Value reaching millions.

Such powerhouses, under the protection and amplification of the Spirit Light, would definitely reach new heights.

In the subsequent confrontation with the Spirit Disaster Black Disaster, they would assuredly serve as a formidable central combat strength.

This was also one of the reasons why he had held back earlier, primarily using intimidation and threat.

After managing this battlefield well, he turned his gaze towards the direction of Tongning City and hurriedly instructed Qing Huang and others to follow up.

He then rushed alone towards Tongning City at full speed.

However, at this moment, over Tongning City, a huge black cloud vortex had started to form in the dark sky.

In the center of the vortex, deep within the lengthy black cloud passage, a luxurious tall arched gate made of white jade emerged.

This white jade gate stood a hundred meters high and over fifty meters wide. The door was densely engraved with various mythological stories of Immortal Gods.

Above the doorframe, a plaque radiating golden light was surrounded by countless silver lights.

The plaque was inscribed with three boldly swirling characters.

’South Heavenly Gate!’

Crack.

Silver lightning flashed sporadically within the dark clouds, resembling a spider web.

As Yu Hong drew closer to Tongning City, he felt an indescribable oppressive sensation assaulting his spirit.

Pfft.

Suddenly, his multi-functional watch emitted smoke from his waist, evidently damaged by some force in the environment.

In the gloomy forests, Yu Hong’s body shone with a purple-red light, constantly leaping from tree crowns and branches.

Crack.

It was at this moment.

A faint sound.

The enormous South Heavenly Gate in the sky cracked open slightly.

"Immortality!"

"Immortality!"

"To prove the divine seat, to act on behalf of heaven!"

"Enter my heavenly gate, be immortal!"

Solemn and dignified chants echoed in the sky.

Accompanied by the vibration of the sound, the dark clouds in the entire sky began to rotate faster around the South Heavenly Gate.

Tongning City.

Cai Jing Taoist’s circular halo behind him glowed brighter, emanating golden light. As he devoured more and more spiritual power, his own aura grew increasingly formidable.

Now surpassing the million level, like the sun, naturally radiating a terrifying pressure, illuminating all around.

Moreover, Cai Jing Taoist sat cross-legged among the clouds, his hands forming seals, emitting invisible distortions that shot into the sky, entering the swirling black clouds.

With continuous catalyzation of the seals, the crack in the South Heavenly Gate opened wider and larger.

Inside, a terrifying aura similar to Cai Jing Taoist’s slowly diffused out.

In a trance, one could even see through the crack, inside the gate was a realm of white clouds and an ethereal immortal palace, with at least a dozen Cai Jing Taoists, riding the clouds, waiting on the other side of the crack.

Further afield, behind these Cai Jing Taoists, was a dense sea of three-eyed golden armor Dragon-men.

Crack.

Another two minutes passed.

The crack in the South Heavenly Gate once again widened.

A pure white immortal light shone down from it, landing on Cai Jing Taoist.

This immortal light, seemingly a reward, instantly made numerous light golden runes appear all over Cai Jing’s body, almost dyeing him pure gold.

And as the immortal light continued to shine, the aura of Cai Jing Taoist began to rise rapidly again.

Crack.

In the half-air around him, faint black cracks began to appear, as if even space itself was beginning to distort and crack under the intensely powerful spiritual fluctuations.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

At that moment, from a distance, a dense series of missiles approached from the horizon, swooping towards where Cai Jing Taoist was, like a school of fish.

Boom!!!

Continuous massive explosions turned into a super fireball, engulfing Cai Jing completely.

Not just that, the subsequent dense barrage of rockets from over ten kilometers away also similarly rained down on the army of golden armor Dragon-men.

For a moment, the entire heavens and earth seemed to have fallen into an endless series of explosions. From a distance, the area looked like a hell of gunfire and missiles.

The bombing continued for several minutes before slowly dissipating.

However, above Tongning City in the sky, Cai Jing Taoist and the three-eyed golden armor Dragon-men were still in their original places; aside from a few Dragon-men who disappeared, the rest seemed completely unaffected by the attack, still quietly floating, waiting.

Crack.

The South Heavenly Gate then once again opened an even larger crack.

Hiss, hiss, hiss!!

A series of white immortal lights scattered down, this time, not focused on Cai Jing, but randomly shining on the three-eyed golden armor Dragon-men.

As the Dragon-men were illuminated by the immortal light, their heads began to distort violently and then quickly melted like candles.

Then, the white immortal light completely swallowed the Dragon-men, and two seconds later, as the light faded, inside reappeared new, smaller Cai Jing Taoists!

Crack.

Then, once again, the South Heavenly Gate opened a larger crack. This time wide enough to allow the creatures inside to fully squeeze out.

The Spirit Alliance magicians, originally following Yu Hong, leaving the canyon to support the battlefield, now seeing this scene, displayed faces of despair.

"How are we supposed to fight this!? There are so many monsters, going there now is just like delivering food!!"

Zhao Jingtang, watching the immortal light continuously falling in the distant sky, had a pale face.

He had originally thought that even if the Spirit Disaster Black Disaster was unleashed, it would wreak havoc for a while and then disperse and disappear on its own.

After all, nature has a powerful self-healing ability.

But now, seeing this momentum, if no one stops it, not just Yasong, but potentially...

No...

Not just Yasong, such monsters, no one on the entire planet could stop.

Once they start rampaging, city by city, it won’t take long to destroy all the urban areas on the surface.

"This Spirit Disaster seems a bit different from what we anticipated..." Blood Eye Sect’s Sect Master Xian Kongzi couldn’t help but speak out, his complexion looking equally bad.

Aside from those like Long Qingzi with mentally twisted perversions, no one else, even members of the Seven Evil Alliance, would want the world to be destroyed.

Their goal was to overturn Taoist Sects, establish new Taoist Sects, and set the rules - not to completely annihilate everyone, including themselves.

Unknowingly, everyone’s pace began to slow down.

Whether they were from Taoist Sects or members of the Seven Evil Alliance, all unconsciously slowed their steps.

No one wanted to die in vain, especially at this moment, with the endless number of monsters in sight.
