The Great Slaughter War God Emperor, as a fellow god of Hell Realm, you dare to kick a man when he is down like this. Are you not afraid of being hunted down by the Destiny Divine Hall and executed on the God-Slaying Platform?” one true god of the Dark Divine Hall roared with boundless hatred in his heart.
Xue Tu drained the divine blood from a Dark Divine Hall pseudo-god, dug out the divine source, and preserved the divine corpse for auction at the Star Sea Black Market later.
He spoke with righteous indignation. “Young Master Tu Tian is the son of our clan’s Ice Emperor. You surrounded and attacked him intending to kill him with ruthless methods. This Emperor has come to rescue him out of justice. What fault is there in that? Fight! For this cruel world let us fight for justice!”
Xue Tu manifested a colossal divine body the size of a star. He seized a pseudo-god who was burning divine blood in an attempt to escape.
The pseudo-god’s divine body exploded into a cloud of divine blood mist which Xue Tu inhaled through his nostrils.
After storing the second divine source Xue Tu seemed overly excited and somewhat carried away. He laughed wildly. “This Emperor is the Destiny Divine Hall. Who dares to hunt me down?”
The gods of the Dark Divine Hall had already activated escape forbidden techniques and were breaking out in every direction.
However Little Black’s divine array was formidable encompassing a vast star domain. Even for true gods breaking through the array was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
On the other side Great God Li Xiao trapped inside the Nine Yin Evasion Array had darkness divine qi and rule divine patterns surging wildly outward. He released his divine realm world. The bone-covered divine realm world expanded from one thousand li to ten thousand li.
Then to a hundred thousand li…
He intended to use his divine realm world to shatter the Nine Yin Evasion Array.
The two forces from the spatial divine arrays and the divine realm world clashed causing this dark void to transform into a dazzling and eerie spectacle accompanied by constant booming sounds.
Great God Li Xiao knew his current predicament well and had to go all out. He roared “Ten Directions White Bone Army follow me into battle.”
The countless white bones in his divine realm world awakened crawling up from the ground. Some were humanoid some beast-like including saint bones and even god bones. They arranged themselves neatly flew into the void and attacked the nine divine array worlds manifested by the Nine Yin Evasion Array.
After activating the Bone Ancestor Divine Technique Great God Li Xiao could wound the mid-Taiyi realm ancestral realm Boundary Venerable with a single sword. One could imagine how terrifying his combat power was at this moment.
His thousand-zhang-tall sacred bone body wielded the dark light sword and cleaved straight toward a spatial divine tower unleashed by Zhang Ruochen.
Boom!
The spatial divine tower was split open by the sword. Correspondingly one spatial divine array showed signs of shattering.
Great God Li Xiao’s killing intent was overwhelming. He said “So this so-called Nine Yin Evasion Array amounts to nothing. Zhang Ruochen today I will let you know how terrifying the wrath of a great god can be.”
“Dark Sword Technique one sword extinguishes the soul!”
Great God Li Xiao gripped the sword with both hands. Billions of sword dao rules flowed around the blade entwined with strands of dark airflow. Countless black sword shadows appeared along with them.
Zhang Ruochen of course knew that the Nine Yin Evasion Array he had refined could not compare to the one refined by Master Fang Cun. It was very difficult to suppress Great God Li Xiao after he had activated the Bone Ancestor Divine Technique.
The current Great God Li Xiao could probably contend with a late-Taiyi realm great god.
But as long as he could be held back that was enough.
Once the Bone Ancestor Divine Technique ended Zhang Ruochen could easily deal with him.
Boom!
This sword from Great God Li Xiao shattered the spatial divine gate formed from piled stars. Countless shattered stones fell from above and array inscription patterns collapsed.
The second spatial divine array was thus damaged.
“A mere seventy-sixth-rank spiritual power god thinks he can rely on an array to oppose a Taiyi great god. How laughably naive.”
Great God Li Xiao was invincible within the Nine Yin Evasion Array pushing horizontally in all directions. The dark light sword in his hand shattered spatial divine halls and destroyed spatial black holes. Any array attack Zhang Ruochen unleashed was utterly fragile under his sword.
Yet Great God Li Xiao did not linger in battle. He clearly understood that he could not maintain such immense combat power for long and was constantly seeking an opportunity to break out of the array.
Zhang Ruochen remained calm continuously repairing the spatial divine arrays and keeping Great God Li Xiao firmly trapped.
No matter how strong he was now as long as he could not escape the Nine Yin Evasion Array the outcome remained uncertain.
Gradually Great God Li Xiao lost his composure. He discovered that a single spatial divine array was easy to handle but once the nine spatial divine arrays combined they formed an inescapable net no matter how hard he tried.
The ancestral realm Boundary Venerable had already refined the dark sword qi that had invaded his body. The sword mark on his chest had healed.
Watching the battle inside the Nine Yin Evasion Array he was secretly astonished. “Zhang Ruochen’s array attainments are actually this high. He can continuously inscribe array inscription patterns using only spiritual power thoughts. The nine spatial divine arrays are like nine chains wrapped around Great God Li Xiao. Even if one is broken Zhang Ruochen immediately reconnects it.”
“The attack power of the Nine Yin Evasion Array cannot threaten Great God Li Xiao’s life yet it can trap him completely.”
The ancestral realm Boundary Venerable calculated inwardly. If he were the one trapped in the array would he have the ability to break free?
The ancestral realm Boundary Venerable naturally possessed secret techniques and some remarkable trump cards. His conclusion was that as long as Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power had not broken through to the seventy-seventh rank the Nine Yin Evasion Array posed no threat to him.
But with the speed at which Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual power was improving breaking through to the seventy-seventh rank would not take long at all.
“Formidable youth.” These four words surfaced in the ancestral realm Boundary Venerable’s mind.
In the dark void inscription patterns filled the sky floating and condensing into clusters of colourful clouds spanning tens of thousands of li. They were magnificent and spectacular.
Inside the array Great God Li Xiao grew increasingly frantic. He roared “Crossing Calamity Divine Dragon Pearl!”
A head-sized pearl flew out and exploded above Great God Li Xiao’s head releasing blinding light. A coiling divine dragon emerged from the pearl charging straight upward forcefully breaking through the Nine Yin Evasion Array.
“Zhang Ruochen you made this seat lose a Crossing Calamity Divine Dragon Pearl. This enmity will be repaid in the future.”
Great God Li Xiao followed closely behind the divine dragon charging toward the outside of the array.
The Crossing Calamity Divine Dragon Pearl was Great God Li Xiao’s most important life-saving trump card. It had sealed a powerful dragon soul inside. But detonating it to release the dragon soul destroyed the pearl and dispersed the dragon soul into heaven and earth.
Zhang Ruochen watched Great God Li Xiao break out of the array inwardly regretting that with his current spiritual power killing a great god was indeed too difficult!
Every great god could rule over a powerful world.
“Want to leave? Not so easy.”
The ancestral realm Boundary Venerable executed a secret technique blocking Great God Li Xiao’s path. An ancient hall manifested before him. Faintly a colossal divine shadow could be seen seated within the hall.
The ancestral realm Boundary Venerable did not dare let Great God Li Xiao escape and naturally had to fight with his life on the line.
Boom!
The two clashed and both flew backward.
Great God Li Xiao fell back into the Nine Yin Evasion Array cursing incessantly. Finally he controlled the dragon light shadow that had flown out with his divine soul and bellowed “Shatter space!”
The dragon light shadow used its final power to crash through space. Spatial cracks spread outward.
Space collapsed and shattered. The Nine Yin Evasion Array plunged into the void world.
Clearly Great God Li Xiao intended to use the same move he had mentioned at Seven Peaks Linked Mountains. By dragging the Nine Yin Evasion Array into the void world Zhang Ruochen would be unable to draw upon heaven and earth spirit qi and saint qi to sustain the array’s operation. The array would collapse on its own.
After the Nine Yin Evasion Array fell into the void world its inscription patterns were continuously eroded by the void and the array began to dissipate.
Great God Li Xiao’s face twisted ferociously. He laughed wildly. “As a spiritual power god your weakness is too obvious!”
“Is that so?”
Zhang Ruochen looked up and saw that the ancestral realm Boundary Venerable had been sent flying and had not yet chased into the void world. He summoned the six divine swords.
Under the urging of divine qi the six divine swords burst with brilliant light shining like stars.
“This… this is not spiritual power controlling swords…”
Great God Li Xiao’s voice changed in shock. He immediately raised his dark light sword fully mobilising the divine qi in his body.
But after clashing with the ancestral realm Boundary Venerable earlier the Bone Ancestor Divine Technique had begun to dissipate. His aura had returned to the early Taiyi realm level.
Moreover it was still declining.
He grew constantly weaker.
“Six-in-One Sword Astonishing God Array!”
Zhang Ruochen drove the six divine swords activating the divine sword array. In an instant they attacked right before Great God Li Xiao.
“Dark Sword Technique one sword extinguishes life…”
Great God Li Xiao had only just thrust out his dark light sword when its blade was shattered by the six divine swords turning into a cloud of light mist.
Crack!
The six divine swords struck his brow sending Great God Li Xiao flying backward.
Countless trillions of protective divine patterns appeared on the great god’s divine bones but they could not withstand the Six-in-One Sword Astonishing God Array.
The divine bones shattered.
The six divine swords pierced into the divine sea within Great God Li Xiao’s skull intending to shatter the divine source with one strike and inflict severe damage.
But after the six swords tore open the divine sea they found it vast and boundless. They could not locate the divine source’s exact position in a short time.
“So your martial dao was not crippled! Damn it how could this be?”
Great God Li Xiao punched out toward Zhang Ruochen.
At such close range there was no way to dodge. Zhang Ruochen could only hastily form a palm seal manifesting a dragon shadow image and clash with Great God Li Xiao.
Boom!
Both flew backward.
Great God Li Xiao’s skull was split open by the six divine swords exploding into fragments of bone. Large amounts of divine qi leaked from his divine sea.
A great god’s divine sea had long become a kind of domain. With a mere thought Great God Li Xiao reformed the shattered bones and reconstituted his divine sea as if he had never been injured.
“A great god’s divine sea is boundless and the divine source is hidden in the invisible. You dream if you think you can destroy a great god’s divine source.” Great God Li Xiao said.
In truth that earlier strike had already severely wounded Great God Li Xiao’s divine soul.
But after breaking free from the confinement of the Nine Yin Evasion Array Great God Li Xiao no longer feared anything. In this void world even if he was not Zhang Ruochen’s match escaping was easy.
“Zhang Ruochen today you have shocked this seat too much but you will never have another chance to grow!”
Great God Li Xiao directly burned ten thousand years of lifespan erupting with extreme speed and fleeing deep into the void world.
“Get back here!”
Zhang Ruochen shouted loudly pressing his palm forward.
Instantly space twisted and time shifted.
Great God Li Xiao was clearly flying straight ahead but under the influence of the Taiji circle’s space and time his flight path curved forming a circle in the void world and returning right before Zhang Ruochen.
