Chapter 14542 The Demon Needle Displays Its Power, Annihilating the Holy Maiden
"World-Destroying Demon Needle!"

Upon seeing the needle, the Holy Lord of Annihilation's expression changed drastically. His divine essence frantically condensed, and several more layers of golden light shield appeared on his body. He stared intently at the demonic needle as if facing a formidable enemy... The reputation of this demonic needle back then, even after tens of thousands of years, still terrified the entire Holy Temple!

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, and the World-Destroying Demon Needle in his palm trembled more violently. Suddenly, it broke free from his palm and transformed into a streak of black light that shot into the sky! A vast and ancient pressure enveloped the entire area, causing everyone's hearts to tremble and their breath to stop!

The Lord of Annihilation clenched his fists, brilliant golden light flowing endlessly across his body, his nerves stretched to the limit, and fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead... The shadow of Ling Xiao's instant kill of the angelic illusion left him with no room for even the slightest bit of luck!

Just then, Ling Xiao's eyes suddenly widened, and the killing intent in his eyes surged to the extreme!

The Holy Lord of Annihilation trembled violently. Without thinking, he unleashed all the divine energy he had accumulated. The golden light shield around him instantly became so dazzling that it almost illuminated the entire battlefield!
However... the expected attack did not occur.

The Holy Lord of Annihilation was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something, his face turned pale, and he turned his head in horror to look in the direction of the Golden Armored Saintess!

Three feet above the golden-armored saintess's head, a black demonic needle was floating, its body shimmering with demonic patterns and radiating a destructive aura!

Everyone suddenly realized... Ling Xiao's true target from the beginning was not the Holy Lord of Annihilation, but the Golden-Armored Saintess who was restrained by the Sword Fiend and exposed her weakness! This was a carefully planned feint!

The golden-armored saintess was also suddenly startled, her pupils contracted sharply, and she abruptly raised her remaining right arm, attempting to gather lightning to counterattack, but Ling Xiao's roar was already shaking the heavens and earth like thunder:
"Destroy!"

Buzz…!
The World-Destroying Demon Needle trembled violently, transforming into a black lightning bolt that tore through the void and crashed down, instantly crushing the lightning surrounding the Golden Armor Saintess and penetrating her protective aura and golden armor!

"Do not……!"

The golden-armored saintess only had time to let out a shrill scream before the demonic needle pierced her brow. Her body stiffened on the spot, and the shock, anger, and resentment in her eyes quickly dissipated, turning into a deathly silence.

Boom!

The space trembled violently as the demonic needle, carrying a wisp of golden divine energy, transformed into a stream of light and entered Ling Xiao's body. Only the lifeless corpse of the golden-armored saintess remained on the spot!

Ling Xiao raised his hand and summoned the still-warm corpse into his magic needle space... Such a top-tier expert's body, refined into a magic puppet, would become a powerful force in the future!
The arena was deathly silent!

The powerful figures of the Holy Temple were stunned, their minds blank, their faces filled with disbelief... Their proud Golden Armor Saintess had been so easily killed.
Ling Xiao's face was ashen, and the demonic energy that had just recovered within him was once again largely depleted by activating the World-Destroying Demon Needle. His aura instantly weakened, and his steps became unsteady. He forced himself to look at the Lord of Annihilation, whose eyes were now filled with deep apprehension and fear, devoid of any of his previous arrogance.

Just as Ling Xiao was about to speak, the Holy Lord of Annihilation suddenly looked up at the sky, a relieved yet icy smile slowly spreading across his lips:
"ended."

Everyone's hearts sank, and they all looked up at the sky!

Deep in the sky, clouds gathered and swirled wildly, forming a huge black vortex. An indescribable, immense pressure, like a tangible giant wave, crushed down from the center of the vortex. Space groaned under the weight of this terrifying power, twisting and folding layer by layer, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!

This is the true oppressive power of the Holy Temple!

The oppressive aura contained the will of judgment and destruction, causing people's souls to tremble. Even the top experts of the Overlord Empire couldn't help but tremble and their breath became stagnant.

The watchers...are they finally coming?

Everyone in the arena held their breath, their gazes fixed on the distorted void, filled with both fear and an irrepressible curiosity… This “Watcher,” existing only in legends and temple offerings, would finally unveil its mysterious veil today! Even the Lord of Annihilation had never seen the Watcher's true face!

Ling Xiao looked up at the sky, his expression unusually calm.

Surveillance?
He was genuinely curious about what these beings, who stood above all living beings and viewed mortals as ants, were like.

As for the outcome... he no longer wanted to think about it.

To give your all and have a clear conscience is enough. How can everything in this world go as planned? Just strive to have a clear conscience!

Of course, he was also prepared for the worst... If there was really no way out, he would detonate the demonic energy and the world-destroying needles within his body, dragging all his enemies down with him!
He has the ability!

Just then, Dao Sha, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up, his tone as cold as ice, with a hint of solemnity: "No! It's not the real body that's here, it's just the pressure of a projection clone!"

Not the real person?

Everyone was stunned, and then the expressions of the powerful figures of the Overlord Empire became even more unsightly... The pressure from just a projection clone that had not yet fully descended was already so terrifying. If the real body were to arrive in person, wouldn't they be powerless to fight back?
Ling Xiao's mind raced, and he immediately made a stern decision: "All soldiers of the Overlord Empire, listen to my command... immediately evacuate through the Heavenly Demon Array! Poison Emperor and Golden Flame, cover the rear! Senior Sword Demon and Senior Blade Demon, I'll trouble you two to provide cover!"

With most of the Holy Temple's high-end combat power lost, they are powerless to stop the retreat of the Overlord Empire. But the enemies they are about to face... whether it's the deeply entrenched Lord of Annihilation or the impending arrival of the "Watcher," neither are ordinary martial artists capable of contending with them. A single misstep could lead to utter annihilation!

Upon hearing this, Yunmo of the Divine Light Clan smiled bitterly, gripped the Divine Light Sword in his hand, and his eyes grew even more determined: "Young friend Ye, what use is it to leave now? If you perish, our clans will be fish on the chopping block of the Holy Temple. How can we remain unscathed?"

The Gu Clan Chief nodded slowly, his voice deep and thunderous, carrying a resolute determination: "Since we are in the same boat, we must fight together! If you fall, the Holy Temple's reckoning will come in the blink of an eye. We will have nowhere to escape but to fight to the death!"

Let's face this together!

Abandoning Ling Xiao now would be tantamount to cutting off their own path to survival. In the eyes of the Holy Temple, they were nothing but ants, with absolutely no possibility of being forgiven!

Ling Xiao remained silent for a moment, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes. He then spoke in a deep voice, his tone concise yet carrying immense power: "Very well! Then let's experience together what kind of methods this legendary 'Watcher' possesses!"

Everyone nodded in unison, their expressions resolute. There was no way out; they had no choice but to fight to the bitter end!
Above the sky, the immense pressure was rapidly increasing, like a giant beast striding across the heavens, getting closer and closer, even the air was being compressed and made to emit a muffled rumble, as if it would crush down at any moment!

The Blade Demon and the Sword Demon also looked up at the sky, their brows furrowed, their eyes filled with even more worry... This aura was even more terrifying than expected!
Ling Xiao suddenly spoke, his tone hesitant: "Seniors, you..."
