Within the Ghost Domain, having lost its physical vessel, the ball of azure light formed by Qing Lu’s divine sense churned violently. If he had a physical body right now, Qing Lu felt as though he would have ground his teeth to dust.
The scheme in Tianchi was of utmost importance!
It was the culmination of ten thousand years of planning and a critical step for him to ascend to a higher status.
To ensure success, he had even sacrificed a precious godhead, blending it with the flesh and blood of countless living beings to create Wan Xiu, whom he sent to Tianchi Province to oversee things personally.
He thought he was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, exerting his full strength.
He never expected that, in the end, he would be outmaneuvered by a single move. His efforts had been for nothing, and even his vessel had been destroyed.
“Zhu Pan!”
A voice filled with extreme malice erupted from the azure light, making the entire Ghost Domain tremble.
“I truly underestimated you, and I underestimated Zhu Pan behind you even more!”
While losing the vessel was painful, he was even more unwilling to lose the meticulously prepared sacrifices, nourished by the lives of an entire province, that he could no longer take back.
“The Sky-Monitoring Four-Direction Envoys each have their own agendas, but we maintain a baseline of decorum for one another. That is an unspoken rule.”
“Zhu Pan has quite the nerve to let you act like this, openly tearing our relationship apart.”
“Do you think he can rest easy just because he obtained the complete Jianmu?”
“Just you wait, this isn't over! Sooner or later, I will settle this score with him, with interest!”
Chen Zhou floated silently in mid air, surrounded by countless souls that had broken free from Wan Xiu’s body, their cries filling the air.
They circled and danced around Chen Zhou like a submissive flock of crows, making him look like a demon god emerging from the depths of the Nine Underworlds.
Chen Zhou smiled and said, “Sure, please don’t let Lord Zhu Pan off. Be sure to take your revenge on him as ruthlessly as possible.”
Qing Lu was furious. A mere creation dared to provoke him? Did he really think Qing Lu wouldn't strike back?
“There is no need for you to put on an act here.”
“Being able to destroy my creation means you have some skill.”
“But that strike just now must have cost you dearly, didn't it? I can feel that the death qi in your body is nearly exhausted.”
He carefully sensed Chen Zhou’s state and continued, “Your current power is barely enough to trap this wisp of my divine sense.”
“Don’t waste your effort. Release the seal immediately and let me leave. I know you are only acting on Zhu Pan’s orders and have no choice. I can overlook today’s events.”
“Otherwise, once I break free, I will ensure your divine soul is utterly annihilated!”
Hearing this, Chen Zhou shook his head.
“Lord Qing Lu, why are you being so naive? I don't understand.”
As he spoke, Chen Zhou’s heart-intent shifted. The White Bone Ghost Domain that originally covered a hundred miles suddenly contracted, and the gray-white defiled earth instantly compressed Qing Lu into a tiny space.
“You!” Qing Lu was both shocked and enraged. “Are you truly that loyal to Zhu Pan?”
“What use is there in forcibly stalling me? Even if you use that judgment again, you cannot kill me. Your death qi is at its limit; this prison will shatter on its own soon enough!”
Chen Zhou gripped the divinity and godhead that had dropped from Wan Xiu and said in disagreement, “Is that what you think? Care to guess if I can kill you?”
Chen Zhou whispered wickedly, then opened his system panel, submitted the complete divinity of decay, and clicked on breakthrough.
【Detected that the host possesses an inner godhead, which can significantly enhance the effect of this sacrifice.】
【The system has automatically consumed one inner godhead for you.】
【Breakthrough beginning】
Boom!
In an instant, the earth shook and the heavens trembled.
A terrifying aura surged from within Chen Zhou’s body, and death qi from all directions converged toward him, forming a massive black vortex.
Within the vortex, countless distorted phantoms of white bones flickered in and out of existence.
Death qi so thick it was almost solid poured down from the vortex, frantically flooding into Chen Zhou’s body.
The White Bone Ghost Domain beneath his feet seemed to receive an endless supply of energy. Bone hands reached out from the defiled earth one after another, swaying as if in celebration.
“This... this...”
“The Lord... he’s breaking through just like that? Is this... is this situation normal?”
In the distance, Lian looked up at the world-shaking phenomenon, her face filled with shock.
Having lain in the Western Region for a thousand years, she had seen many members of the Tuoba clan advance, but she had never seen such a grand breakthrough. This exceeded her understanding of the cultivation system.
“Just get used to it. It wouldn't be normal for anyone else, but for our Lord, it’s perfectly normal!”
The Plague Rat puffed out his chest and stood with hands on his hips, his crimson eyes filled with pride.
He looked up at the figure that resembled a descending demon god and said triumphantly.
“Watch closely, Little Lian. This is the true style of our Lord! What ‘false god’? Beneath the Lord’s heavenly might, they are nothing but complete weaklings!”
After saying that, he even turned toward Qing Lu, who was trapped within the prison of the Ghost Domain, and raised a middle finger, shouting shrilly.
“Hey, you green blob up there! What are you acting so arrogant for? Once my Lord is finished, he’ll grind you into ash in an instant!”
Qing Lu wished he could rush out right now and crush that shouting rat ten thousand times over.
But he couldn't.
He felt an intuitive sense that this creation of Zhu Pan before him would pose a fatal threat to him!
This thought appeared without warning, but it made Qing Lu’s heart tighten.
Influenced by his talent, his premonitions were always terrifyingly accurate. It was thanks to this talent that he had been able to turn danger into safety in countless life-and-death crises.
Qing Lu was utterly horrified.
Could it be that the opponent truly had a way to kill him?
A seventh-stage creation, even if he broke through, how could he threaten Qing Lu’s ninth-stage peak true form?!
Zhu Pan! What on earth did Zhu Pan give him?!
Damn it! Damn it!
“Don’t even think about it!”
Fear overwhelmed his anger, and Qing Lu went completely mad.
He no longer held back. The light of his divine sense suddenly contracted, condensing into a point of extreme azure radiance, like a star containing the power to extinguish all things.
“Azure Light Extinction!”
A roar echoed through the divine soul.
In the next moment, that point of azure light erupted, transforming into a massive azure beam that slammed directly into the Ghost Domain prison surrounding him!
Roar!
Hiss!
Wing-Fire Snake and Jiao Mu Jiao rushed toward the beam, using their bodies to shield Chen Zhou.
But the moment the two seventh-stage fifth symbiosis contract summons were struck by the Azure Light Extinction, they didn't even have time to let out a cry before their massive bodies withered and weathered away, leaving them heavily wounded and on the verge of death.
“Not good! Retreat, quickly!”
Jian Huaishuang’s expression changed drastically. He grabbed the Plague Rat by the back of his collar and pulled Lian with his other hand, his body transforming into a streak of light as he fled frantically into the distance.
A battle of this level was far beyond what they could participate in!
Under Qing Lu’s reckless and frantic attack, the edges of Chen Zhou’s entire Ghost Domain began to turn illusory, as if it could be completely burst open by this terrifying azure light at any moment!
