บท 213: Chapter 216: Identity Revealed!
"Yellow Springs Palm!"
Jiang Yun exuded a fierce aura as he swung his large hand, slapping it towards Hun Sha. As his palm descended, his fingers flicked rapidly one after another!
Several terrifyingly powerful and varied battle techniques formed almost simultaneously and ferociously smashed towards the soul mirror and Hun Sha.
The two individuals, who had not yet recovered from Jiang Yun's incessant attacks, turned even paler at the sight of the new onslaught of battle techniques. Their hearts were filled with bitterness.
Who could have thought that Jiang Yun, a six-star Dou Sheng, would have seemingly endless Dou Qi? Heavenly-level battle techniques flowed effortlessly from his hands, one after another.
This ability to instantly deploy multiple battle techniques was something even they couldn't achieve.
Exchanging a glance, they forcibly ignited the Dou Qi within them.
"Death Monument!" A dense aura of death surged violently from Hun Jing's body, finally forming a massive black monument a thousand feet tall in front of him, filled with wailing sounds.
"Blood God Rends the Sky!"
A vicious gleam flickered in Hun Sha's eyes as his hand seals changed abruptly. The blood sword in his hand shot out.
Amidst the surge of blood aura, it expanded to an enormous thousand feet. The giant blood sword hung in the sky, its killing intent almost tangible. The blade shimmered with blood, causing even souls to tremble.
"Boom—"
Numerous heavenly-level battle techniques descended from the sky, crashing onto the massive black monument. The vast energy ripples spread out, collapsing the space within a thousand feet into dark voids.
Simultaneously, the blood sword in Hun Sha's hand slashed towards Jiang Yun with terrifying sharpness, the piercing sonic boom resounding in the sky. Space within ten thousand feet crumbled in its wake.
A massive, deep trench appeared on the ground below. The trench wasn't wide, but was so deep that its bottom couldn't be seen.
"Bang—"
Facing such a violent barrage, the death aura on the black monument dissipated rapidly, and finally, with a bang, it exploded.
"Spurt!"
With his battle technique shattered, Hun Jing spewed a mouthful of blood, his body flying tens of feet away. His aura instantly waned.
Simultaneously, Hun Sha's fierce attack slashed towards Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun's ear twitched slightly, and he abruptly turned around, forming a double-fingered gesture and pointing out into the air.
White flames circled around, almost transforming into a mysterious finger that pointed towards Hun Sha.
"Whoosh—"
The sharp finger strike, turning into a faint streak of light, instantly shattered the blade light from Hun Sha's slash, not stopping in the slightest.
"What?!" Hun Sha's face changed drastically at this moment. He hadn't expected Jiang Yun's counterattack to be so swift and fierce.
"Whoosh—"
A white flame tail pierced through the space, reaching Hun Sha's forehead in the blink of an eye.
Faced with the oncoming finger strike, Hun Sha's face changed dramatically, and a strong sense of danger made his hair stand on end.
"Lord Void, save me—"
Utterly unwilling to die, Hun Sha cried out, and black Dou Qi surged from his back, transforming into a pair of massive black bat wings.
Immediately, his body shot backward.
"Humph!"
A slightly cold snort suddenly came from the sky. At the same time, a sense of danger swiftly surged from Jiang Yun's heart.
"Boom!"
The light in the sky suddenly dimmed. Right after, a white jade-like giant hand reached out from the void ahead of Hun Sha and grabbed the finger strike. After a few breaths, the strike was wiped out by the destructive power in that palm wind.
"Void Devouring Flame!"
Jiang Yun's gaze turned solemn as he looked at the black-robed figure in front of him and said in a low voice.
"Lord Void." Seeing the crisis averted, Hun Sha and Hun Jing immediately moved in front of Void Devouring Flame, nervously cupping their hands in salute.
"Useless trash—" With a cold face, Void Devouring Flame scolded them without mercy. Hun Sha and Hun Jing's faces flushed red, but they dared not retort in the slightest.
It was true, after all. Both were late seven-star Dou Sheng, yet they were being suppressed by a six-star Dou Sheng and nearly lost their lives. It was indeed unworthy.
No one could have known Jiang Yun was so terrifyingly powerful. Hun Jing and Hun Sha felt that in the Hun Clan, only Hun Tiandi and Void Devouring Flame could undoubtedly defeat him. Even Hun Shengtian, a late eight-star Dou Sheng, might not be Jiang Yun's match.
"Whoosh—"
At this moment, Lei Ying and Gu Lie, tasked with holding back Void Devouring Flame, arrived beside Jiang Yun. The two looked disheveled, with burned marks all over.
It was evident that their clash with Void Devouring Flame had not gone well. Far from holding him back, they were nearly doomed if they made a single mistake.
The boost from Void Devouring Flame's imperial soul was too vast for them to withstand. Even after such a fight, Void Devouring Flame wasn't even out of breath. Clearly, he hadn't been fighting seriously, dealing with them while surveying the entire battlefield.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rescue Hun Sha immediately upon hearing his plea for help.
Realizing this, Lei Ying and Gu Lie's faces turned grim.
They had used every means at their disposal but couldn't gain an advantage. If this continued, given Void Devouring Flame's willingness, their lives might truly end here today.
"Jiang Yun, be careful. Void Devouring Flame's power is extremely terrifying!"
Lei Ying quickly surveyed the battlefield. He saw many Lei clan experts falling and felt pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. Such was the cruelty of war.
Gu Lie also saw fallen Gu clan experts. With a heart full of sorrow, he resolved to retrieve some of the ancient jade at any cost, knowing that if the Hun Clan opened Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave and obtained the secret to becoming a Dou Di, a single person could potentially wipe out all three clans.
That would be the true extinction crisis!
Hearing Lei Ying's reminder, Jiang Yun nodded calmly, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield. Yun Yi and Xiao Yan were still in a fierce battle. With the power of the dimensional plane, Xiao Yan had crossed the gap in strength and was on par with Yun Yi.
Each side had suffered losses, but it was still a balanced situation overall.
"You are Jiang Yun. I didn't expect such a figure to appear in this generation!" After scolding his subordinates, Void Devouring Flame turned his cold gaze to Jiang Yun and spoke.
"No..." Suddenly, Void Devouring Flame's soul power swept the battlefield, discovering an unusual fluctuation. In the next moment, he reached out, capturing a tiny white flame in his palm from the void.
His deep eyes scrutinized the Undying Sacred Flame in his palm. A moment later, he looked up at Jiang Yun in astonishment and then burst into wild laughter.
"Ha ha ha!"
Lei Ying and the others looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what had driven Void Devouring Flame to sudden madness. But Jiang Yun knew that the other had recognized his flame, which did not belong to the Dou Qi Continent.
In terms of understanding exotic flames on the Dou Qi Continent, not even Gu Yuan or Hun Tiandi could match Void Devouring Flame. The lie about a new type of exotic flame might fool the Alchemist Association, but to Void Devouring Flame, it was utterly laughable.
"So you are also from beyond. No wonder you and Yun Yi are so antagonistic; it turns out you are 'sworn enemies'!" After his laughter subsided, Void Devouring Flame looked at Jiang Yun in understanding.
"I was worried he alone was insufficient, but now you've come too. Truly heaven-sent." Void Devouring Flame licked his lips and smiled coldly.
"You want to devour me? Aren't you afraid your appetite is too small?" Seeing Void Devouring Flame's greedy smile, Jiang Yun returned it with a cold one.
"Heh heh, I hope you'll stay so composed!" Void Devouring Flame chuckled disdainfully at Jiang Yun. His expression filled with scorn. Then he looked up at the sky, his smile turning chill-inducing for Lei Ying and Gu Lie.
In the next instant, an urgent voice suddenly rang out in everyone's ears: "Retreat quickly, there's a change in the situation!"
The sudden voice startled everyone on the battlefield, their faces changing instantly. They recognized it as Gu Yuan's voice; what could prompt even him to sound so alarmed?
"Hum!"
The next moment, a bizarre humming sound came from the dark clouds overhead, spreading waves of chilling aura rapidly.
"Has it finally completed?" Void Devouring Flame looked up, his smile growing more sinister.
Seeing this, Hun Jing and Hun Sha let out a small sigh of relief. The combined strength of the three clans and the alliance was no weaker than the Hun Clan. If no action was taken, many Hun clan experts might perish here.
"Buzz buzz!"
The humming grew more urgent. Simultaneously, several incredibly sinister auras emerged from the dark clouds. In the face of such changes, the entire battlefield raised their heads, gazing warily at the dark clouds.
"Bang bang!"
Suddenly, the dark clouds churned, and several dark shadows shot out, hovering in various positions in the sky.
"Are those... coffins?"
Seeing the objects shooting out from the dark mist, everyone was shocked. Those objects turned out to be four black coffins, and the bone-chilling aura seeped from within.
"Clang!"
The four coffins floated in the air, their lids suddenly flying off. Four skeleton-like figures slowly stepped out, unleashing horrifying auras that spread across the sky, shocking the combined forces into alarm.
"Hun Sheng Tian? Hun Yao? How can these old ghosts still be alive?!"
Recognizing the four figures, Lei Ying and Gu Lie's pupils shrank rapidly, faces full of astonishment. These four had ranks in the Hun Clan higher than even Hun Tiandi. They had seemingly perished long ago. How could they be here today?
"Gasp—"
"Eight-star Dou Sheng..."
"The Hun Clan has four more eight-star Dou Sheng..."
Upon sensing their auras, everyone gasped in terror, crying out in despair.
The Hun Clan's terrifying strength had hidden four eight-star Dou Sheng. Such power was beyond belief!
"These three, they are living dead!" At this moment of despair, Jiang Yun's calm voice rang out, "Their life force won't sustain prolonged fighting."
Prompted by Jiang Yun, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They weren't living humans. But Void Devouring Flame's next words shattered their revived hope.
Void Devouring Flame looked at Jiang Yun as if he were prey, lightly chuckling, "A keen eye, but it's enough to take you all down!"
"Four Directions of Annihilation, Realm of Death!"
Seemingly in coordination with Void Devouring Flame, the Hun Sheng Tian quartet suddenly opened their mouths, spouting four light points that turned into massive black gates a thousand feet tall. These gates were filled with death aura.
The black gates stood at the four corners of the sky. The deathly aura surged out, enveloping the land. The invading aura began to sap the life force from the coalition forces.
"It's the Gates of Death!"
"Retreat!"
Lei Ying and Gu Lie's faces changed drastically, recognizing this famous deadly array from ancient times, hastily shouting orders.
"Run?"
"Too late. Our final lifeforce is prepared for you all. So many experts, even compared to Xiao Xuan's time, make for quite a grand deathbed!" Watching the fleeing coalition forces, Hun Yuan Tian laughed excitedly. The next moment, the four Death Gates connected, creating a realm of death that encompassed the entire mountain range. The invading death aura began to erode all life within.
Within the large array, many experts gathered together, warily watching the encroaching mists.
The death aura permeated everywhere, invading their bodies relentlessly. Neither Dou Qi nor soul power could stop it.
"This is the legendary Death Realm Array. We must leave quickly, or..." Lei Ying and the other experts, their faces grim, looked at the deathly aura filling the world, feeling an unsettling foreboding.
Continuing like this, even they would eventually succumb to the deathly aura.
"Difficult. This place has already become a death space. These death auras can isolate soul detection. Rushing out blindly will only consume more of our strength." Gu Lie said gravely. (Chapter ends)
