Black Corpse: "Very good... the Maha Ancient Clan, you've got guts!"
Chapter 370 Black Corpse: "Very good... the Maha Ancient Clan, you've got guts!"
However, just as the Black Corpse Demon Emperor's bone claws were about to completely shatter the light shield and touch the Black Heaven's true form, "Spirit Lock Heavenly Dome!"
The calm voice of the Grand Ancestor Tai Ming rang out. He had already anticipated that the Black Corpse would choose to break through its weakest link. The Tai Ling Ancient Diagram in his hand shone brightly, and the spiritual energy chains that had been broken earlier instantly reformed and intertwined, their number increasing more than tenfold!
Countless cyan chains, radiating a vast and all-encompassing aura, seemed to possess a life of their own, wrapping around the bone claw of the Black Demon Emperor and the space around him from all directions, slowing down and sealing off his movements.
Although the Black Corpse Demon Emperor's bone claws were strong, their power had diminished after tearing through the dark light shield. Now, bound by the endless chains of spiritual energy, their speed and power were reduced by more than half, giving Black Heaven a precious chance to escape.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hei Tian quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and others. His face was pale, and he was still shaken.
"Now!"
Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he launched his attack almost simultaneously with Fu Tu Xuan's, arriving in quick succession.
Fu Tu Xuan roared, and the Maha Yin Yang Bottle in his hand shone brightly once more, its body spinning wildly and spewing out even more violent black and white energies.
The black and white energies spun rapidly, forming a terrifying storm that stretched from the sky to the earth, and swept fiercely toward the Black Corpse Demon Emperor, who was briefly restrained by the spiritual power chains of the Tai Ming Ancestor!
Without hesitation, Lu Yu unleashed the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his left hand once more, tearing through the sky with a dazzling sword light that was even more refined than before and contained the will to shatter all laws!
The right hand's Thunder Prison Pagoda Bead surged with purple-black lightning, and countless destructive lightning bolts intertwined to form a phantom of a pagoda exuding a fierce and suppressive aura, which followed closely behind the sword light and crashed down!
The three deadly moves descended almost simultaneously, sealing off all of the Black Corpse Demon Emperor's escape routes!
A clear glint of rage finally flashed across the deathly blackness in the Black Corpse Demon Emperor's eyes. He hadn't expected the four of them to coordinate so perfectly, their attacks flowing seamlessly together.
"presumptuous!"
He let out a low, angry roar, and the death energy around him erupted like a dormant volcano, rapidly condensing into countless twisted and writhing shields of corpses, layer upon layer protecting him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The black and white tornado storm struck the skeletal shield first, unleashing a deafening roar.
The storm spun and cleaved wildly, shredding shields into a cloud of deathly energy. However, the sheer number of shields, coupled with their continuous regeneration from the deathly energy, significantly slowed the storm's advance.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu's sword light and the phantom of the Thunder Prison Pagoda slammed down!
scoff!
The dazzling sword light was like a divine blade that could cleave the heavens, carrying the majestic imperial might to cut through everything, and neatly cleaved through most of the corpse shields blocking its path!
The sword light itself dimmed considerably as a result, but its remaining power was still there, and it slashed fiercely at the dense death aura protecting the Black Corpse Demon Emperor.
This time, it wasn't just a faint white mark.
Stab it!
The sword light, condensed to its extreme, actually cut a wound about a foot long and several inches deep in the Black Corpse Demon Emperor's protective death aura!
Although it was insignificant to his enormous demonic body, the flesh at the wound was peeling back, revealing a purified grayish-white color. Strands of pure sword intent and the power of light purification eroded inward like maggots clinging to bones, preventing the death energy from repairing itself.
The Black Corpse Demon Emperor's brows furrowed sharply, a hint of pain and a deeper ferocity flashing in his eyes.
However, the attack was not over yet!
Bang!
The illusory image of the Thunder Prison Pagoda followed closely behind, crashing heavily near the wound cleaved open by the sword light.
The raging destructive lightning found an outlet, pouring wildly into the wound, while the power of the Floating Pagoda's sealing force acted like shackles, suppressing the surge and repair of the surrounding death energy.
Bang bang bang!
The Black Corpse Demon Emperor groaned, his deathly aura violently vibrating around him. He was so shaken by the combined impact that he staggered back three steps!
Each step left large cracks in the void, radiating astonishing energy fluctuations.
After regaining his balance, he looked down at the not-so-large but exceptionally glaring wound on his chest, and at the sword intent and thunderous power constantly fighting against the death energy eroding the wound.
For the first time, a substantial shadow fell over his pale face. He had actually—was truly swayed by these few people before him.
The ants teamed up and injured him!
Since he ascended to the position of one of the top ten Demon Emperors, how many tens of thousands of years has it been since he was ever directly injured by anyone? What's more, his opponent did not have any peak late-stage Saint-level beings!
An intensely suppressed, violent killing intent, like magma about to erupt, was frantically accumulating and churning deep within his dark eyes.
"very good----"
The Black Corpse Demon Emperor slowly raised his head, his gaze like the sharpest ice spike, sweeping over Lu Yu, Fu Tu Xuan, and Tai Ming Ancestor, before finally settling on Maha Ming, whose face was still pale in the distance.
The voice seemed to squeeze out from the cracks of the deepest hell, carrying a chilling stillness and venomous resentment, "The Maha Ancient Clan, is it? How dare you oppose this Emperor—you've got guts!"
He paused, then a hideous, malicious grin spread across his face: "I, the Emperor, will remember you."
As soon as he finished speaking, for some reason, Maha Ming, who was still fiercely fighting a Heavenly Demon Emperor not far away, suddenly trembled all over, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Although he was struggling to resist the Heavenly Demon Emperor's attacks, the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's declaration, filled with killing intent and resentment, poured into his ears like ice water, causing the already cold and desperate sea of bitterness in his heart to surge into a monstrous wave.
It's over—it's completely over!
He wailed inwardly. After this incident, regardless of the outcome of today's battle, the Maha Ancient Clan was now thoroughly hated by this infamous Corpse Demon Clan patriarch, the Heavenly Demon Emperor, ranked among the top ten!
In the future, as long as the Maha Ancient Clan still exists, they will inevitably face endless retaliation and targeting from the Corpse Demon Clan, which is simply a catastrophe!
An indescribable mix of frustration, anger, and despair surged into Mahaming's heart, almost making him vomit blood. All of this was thanks to that damned Lu Yu.
He forcibly bound himself and the Maha Ancient Clan to this war chariot charging towards the evil races beyond the realm.
However, just as his emotions were in turmoil and he was about to be caught off guard by the Heavenly Demon Emperor, a sudden change occurred!
The Black Corpse Demon Emperor's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he no longer spoke a word of nonsense or held back.
He suddenly spread his arms wide, and the wound on his chest left by Lu Yu suddenly burst out with an even more intense black light, as if it had become a source of filth!
Countless viscous, foul-smelling black liquids, imbued with the aura of endless death, began to seep out from every pore of his demonic body, instantly forming a constantly writhing and dripping black ocean around him.
Every drop of liquid seemed to contain the most vicious source of death, capable of eroding spiritual power, corrupting the physical body, and polluting the soul!
The mere aura it emitted caused the distant Tai Ming Ancestor's expression to change slightly, forcing him to increase the spiritual light output of the Tai Ling Ancient Diagram to purify the surrounding polluted space.
"Extremely vile corpse water, a sea of corpses—burying the heavens!"
The Black Corpse Demon Emperor suddenly brought his arms together in front of him, making a gesture as if embracing the void.
Splash!
The vast, boundless sea of black corpse water instantly erupted, carrying a terrifying power that could engulf everything and annihilate all things, sweeping indiscriminately towards Lu Yu and his companions, as well as the floating Maha Continent behind them!
Wherever the sea of corpses passed, the space groaned under its unbearable weight, eroding countless tiny black holes, as if even light was swallowed up, leaving behind absolute darkness and deathly silence.
"Hold them off with all your might! Protect the continent behind you!"
With a sharp shout, Fu Tu Xuan was the first to unleash the full power of the Maha Yin Yang Bottle. An unprecedented torrent of black and white water gushed from the bottle's mouth, transforming into a massive black and white barrier stretching across the sky, blocking the path directly in front of the Hu Shui Ocean.
Tai Ming Ancestor also had a solemn expression. The Tai Ling Ancient Diagram shone brightly, transforming into layers of flexible light shields that enveloped the outer perimeter of the Maha Continent, forming a second line of defense.
Hei Tian dared not be negligent. The surface of the Hei Tian Ancient Mirror shimmered with a ghostly light, and beams of condensed dark light shot into the sea of corpse water, attempting to erode and dissipate some of the power of the corpse water.
Lu Yu himself also wielded the Heavenly Emperor Sword, unleashing a dazzling sword light that cleaved through some of the surging corpse water, while the Thunder Prison Floating Pagoda Pearl set up a lightning barrier to assist in the defense.
The combined power of several sacred artifacts barely managed to keep the terrifying sea of corpse water at bay, thousands of miles away from the Maha Continent. The black and white barrier frantically eroded and neutralized the sea of corpse water, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
However, Lu Yu's eyes were serious. He knew that this extremely vile corpse water was the Black Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's signature technique, which was extremely powerful and corrosive.
Even if they could hold them off for the time being, continuing the stalemate was by no means a good strategy. In such a fierce battle, the evil forces from beyond the realm could come to their aid at any time.
"This can't go on!"
Lu Yu's mind raced, his gaze sweeping over the white-robed and black-robed avatars, and a plan instantly took shape.
"You two, work together to ban him!"
The white-robed figure moved at the sound, his face solemn, his hands forming an ancient and profound hand seal.
Behind it, the illusory figure of endless light radiated an unprecedentedly pure brilliance. The light was not dazzling, but it carried a sacred meaning of suppressing all evil and protecting all things.
"Endless light, the Wall of Light!"
With the cold shout from the white-robed figure, the vast power of light ceased its diffusion and purification, instead collapsing and condensing inward in an extremely subtle trajectory.
Countless luminous runes containing the true meaning of purification and protection emerged from the sky, connecting with each other, and in the blink of an eye, they formed four enormous, dazzling light walls around the Black Corpse Demon Emperor!
This light barrier is no ordinary defense, but a supreme divine power inherited from the Endless Light Body. Its power is comparable to the thirty-six peerless divine powers of the Great Thousand World!
"May the divine light of the Supreme Spirit bless you!"
Almost at the same time that the white-robed avatar unleashed its supernatural power, the black-robed avatar also moved.
He drew upon the vast origin of the Supreme Spirit Body, and endless, dazzling divine light surged forth like rivers flowing into the sea, pouring into the four newly formed walls of light.
This is precisely the supreme divine power of the Tai Ling Holy Body, the Tai Ling Divine Light!
With the blessing of divine light, the already incredibly sturdy Light Wall became even more restrained and solid, and the wall itself subtly revealed a warm and jade-like texture, its defensive and suppressive power suddenly increased by several levels!
hum!
The four walls of light suddenly closed in, and light runes rapidly spread and intertwined at the top and bottom, instantly transforming into a complete and sealed cage of light, completely sealing the Black Corpse Demon Emperor and the ocean of corpse water inside!
