Chapter 684 Slaying the Dark Prodigy, Seeking Immortality from the Calamity, and Joining Forces with
Ye Tian's calm yet final words were like the tolling of a death knell.
The sound echoed in the minds of the five imperial clan prodigies, filled with terrifying power.
Previously, the five of them joined forces to activate their physiques, use their primordial divine powers, and even rely on an ancient array.
They failed to shake its foundations, and instead used it as a whetstone, which shattered their fighting spirit and pride.
At that moment, I heard the words "sending you on your way".
An overwhelming chill rose from within, instantly shooting up the spine to the top of the head, like the whisper of a demon!
"Fight him!"
The prodigy from the Nine Netherworld Imperial Clan had eyes wide with rage, knowing that escape was hopeless and that only a desperate fight might offer a glimmer of hope for survival.
He frantically burned his life essence and blood, pushing his Nine Netherworld Body to its limit.
Nine unfathomable black holes appeared around him, as if connected to the deepest hell, ready to devour Ye Tian's soul and life force and kill him on the spot!
The current situation is one of life or death; it's either him or me who dies.
Nine Netherworld Devouring Technique!
This is his most secret and forbidden supernatural power; once used, it will cause him severe backlash.
But its power is indeed terrifying, even ordinary emperors have to temporarily avoid its edge!
I can't resist it at all!
The other two, the burly man from the Demon Rock Emperor Clan and the prodigy from the Bone Erosion Emperor Clan, also lost their tempers and, disregarding their injuries, unleashed their strongest attacks once again.
The demonic fist and the poisonous domain intertwined, blasting towards Ye Tian from the flank, attempting to coordinate with the Nine Netherworld Prodigy for a final desperate gamble.
However, faced with this desperate counterattack...
Ye Tian's eyes remained calm and still, but now held a hint of coldness, as if he were about to end everything.
They looked down upon them as if they were ants.
"Stubborn."
He pointed his fingers like a sword, but did not use the five divine swords.
He simply used his finger as a sword and lightly slashed at the prodigy who was using the Nine Netherworld Devouring Technique.
"Frosty Sky Divine Sword Slash".
There was no grand display, only an extreme chill, as if it could freeze time and seal away the eternal sword intent.
As his fingertips traced the path, it spread out, resonating through the ages.
The void seemed to be swept by an invisible cold current, and the temperature plummeted to below absolute zero.
Even the pervasive dark energy and the light of the array were frozen and solidified!
Those nine all-consuming black holes paled in comparison to this sword intent that froze everything.
It was as if a mosquito trapped in amber had become spinning at an incredibly slow speed.
The surface was covered with a thick layer of eerie blue frost, which was extremely terrifying!
“Crack…bang!”
The nine black holes successively emitted cracking sounds as they shattered under the strain, before collapsing with a deafening roar and turning into a sky full of ice crystal dust!
The Nine Netherworld Prodigy maintained an expression of utter shock.
His entire being, inside and out, including his soul, was completely frozen, turning him into a lifelike ice sculpture!
The next moment, countless fine cracks appeared on the ice sculpture.
Then, with a "poof," it vanished completely, leaving not a trace of dust behind.
A top prodigy of the Dark Emperor Clan, possessing the Nine Nether Profound Body, was annihilated, body and soul!
This bizarre and terrifying scene terrified the Demon Rock Prodigy and the Bone-Eating Prodigy who were attacking from the flank.
The offensive was momentarily halted.
Ye Tian did not stop. He turned slightly to face the incredibly strong Demon Rock Prodigy and slowly clenched his right fist.
A supreme fist intent, representing the cycle of birth and death and the changing of the heavens, condensed once more, but it was even more magnificent and solid than before!
"Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist!"
His punch was no longer just a simple punch; it was accompanied by a magnificent phenomenon!
Behind his punch, the six blurry phantom images of heaven, man, asura, beast, hungry ghost, and hell suddenly became clearer.
It was as if six real, vast worlds were rolling in and crushing us!
The power of reincarnation is vast, as if it wants to bury everything and restore order!
The Demon Rock Prodigy roared, pushing his Undying Demon Rock Body to its limit, his dark golden body resembling an immortal divine mountain.
He threw out both fists at once, trying to forcefully counter the Samsara Fist Intent!
"Dong Dong Dong!!!"
There was no stalemate at the moment of collision.
The fist intent of the Six Paths of Reincarnation is like a millstone, relentlessly grinding away at everything.
That supposedly indestructible body of demonic rock, under the power of reincarnation, turned into something like weathered rock.
Starting from the fist, it shatters inch by inch, disintegrates, and finally turns into dust!
Even the soul hidden deep within its physical body was swept into the vortex of reincarnation, instantly shredded, and completely dissipated!
Another dark prodigy has fallen!
In the blink of an eye, two of the five great prodigies were gone!
The remaining Bone-Corroding Prodigies and the Shadow Emperor Clan woman who had been lingering on the sidelines, trying to find an opportunity, were utterly terrified and had no will to resist.
"break!"
Ye Tian didn't even glance at the Bone-Corroding Prodigy, but simply uttered a single word.
At the same time, he formed an extremely profound hand seal.
The chaotic energy around him merged with that fragment of the ancient Heavenly Dao Law, and a terrifying aura that transcended his current realm of understanding, as if he could control all the cycles of reincarnation, erupted out!
The Myriad Paths of Reincarnation Technique!
This is not an offensive supernatural power, but a more fundamental application of rules, with the power of the Great Dao sweeping out!
With its own path, it evokes resonance from all paths, leading to endless cycles of reincarnation!
“Buzz buzz buzz…!”
The "Ten Thousand Spirits Burial Emperor Formation" light curtain that covers all directions.
Under the impact of this force that transcends its own rules of construction, it let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain!
The countless dark runes that made up the array flashed violently, and then, like pieces of paper that had been set on fire, they quickly dimmed and disintegrated!
The power of that field, which suppressed heaven and earth and imprisoned all laws, receded like a tide!
"Boom!!!"
With a deafening roar, this ancient formation, painstakingly set up by the sages of the five great dark imperial clans specifically to bury the Great Emperor, was forcibly broken by Ye Tian from the level of rules with a supreme divine power!
The array base crumbled, the light vanished, leaving only broken array patterns imprinted on the ravaged land.
The moment the great formation shattered, Ye Tian's divine might, which had been suppressed by more than 50%, was no longer restrained.
A sudden, full-scale eruption!
Golden light shone in countless rays, and chaotic energy surged like the sea.
He stood there, his black hair flying wildly, his eyes flashing like lightning, like an ancient god who had broken free of his shackles and descended to the mortal world!
Its unparalleled divine power was on full display, causing the surrounding void to collapse and recombine repeatedly!
"puff!"
The Bone-Corroding Prodigy was the first to be hit, directly impacted by this sudden and complete imperial might.
His already injured body could no longer hold on, and he coughed up blood and flew backward, breaking countless bones.
Dark green poisonous blood splattered across the sky, instantly causing the body's vitality to wane to its lowest point.
The shadow woman, who had been drifting in the void using her shadow form, was also forcefully shaken out of the void by this overwhelming divine power, her face turning deathly pale and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
The most tragic case was that after the Demon Rock Emperor Clan's prodigy was killed, another prodigy from the Blood Fiend Emperor Clan who was slightly closer to Ye Tian was killed.
He was struck by a wisp of chaotic energy that dissipated when Ye Tian broke the great formation, and let out a miserable scream.
His entire right arm was torn off by that terrifying force, and blood gushed out like a fountain!
"Walk!!!"
The woman in the shadows let out a shriek, no longer caring about anything else.
He forcibly burned his essence and blood, pushing the Void Shadow Body to its limit, and tore open an extremely unstable spatial rift with his hands.
He grabbed the heavily injured Bone-Eating Prodigy and the Blood Fiend Prodigy with the severed arm, and like a frightened bird, he plunged into the pit!
The spatial rift quickly closed, and the three people's presence vanished instantly.
Ye Tian did not pursue, but slowly restrained the surging divine power around him.
He flicked his hand as if he had casually swatted two buzzing flies, his gaze sweeping indifferently over the two places where the dark prodigies had fallen. There were only some ice crystals, dust, and rock powder left, not even a trace of their original state.
"Tuji Wagouer".
He made a dismissive comment, then turned and walked towards Huang Ruoxi and the others.
At this moment, the three dark prodigies who barely escaped with their lives thanks to the Shadow Woman's desperate attempt to tear through space at any cost appeared in a primeval forest far from the battlefield.
"Pfft!"
"Wow……!"
The three of them tumbled awkwardly onto the thick layer of fallen leaves.
Both the Bone-Eating Prodigy and the Bloodthirsty Prodigy couldn't help but cough up blood again, their injuries extremely severe.
Especially that Bloodthirsty Prodigy, whose severed arm was entangled in dark energy, preventing flesh and blood from regenerating, causing excruciating pain.
The woman in the shadows was in slightly better condition, but her breathing was still disordered and her face was as pale as paper.
She paid a heavy price to help the two escape.
The dense forest was deathly silent, save for the heavy, frightened breathing of the three people.
Recalling that brief yet nightmarish battle.
Especially Ye Tian's invincible demeanor, like a god descending from heaven, breaking through the great formation and slaying two great prodigies with a single move.
A chill ran through me, and fear surged from the bottom of my heart, leaving my whole body ice-cold.
"We survived! We actually survived..."
The voice of the Bone-Eating Prodigy was hoarse, trembling with disbelief.
It felt as if they had just escaped death by the very fingers of the King of Hell.
"A monster... that Ye Tian is a monster!"
Bloodthirsty Prodigy clutched his severed arm, his eyes filled with fear and resentment.
"An ancient formation! A formation specifically designed to counter Emperor Realm cultivators! He actually broke it by force! Just what level has he reached?!"
"This isn't human! This is a monster!"
The woman in the shadows remained silent, but her clenched fists and slightly trembling body betrayed her extreme inner turmoil.
Her Void Shadow Body, which she was so proud of, seemed so laughable in the face of the opponent's absolute power and Dao.
Even escaping for one's life comes at such a price.
After fear comes hatred and humiliation that grow wildly like weeds!
The five of them were all prodigies nurtured by their respective imperial clans, and they held kill orders, setting up a deadly trap.
They thought it was a sure thing, that they could not only complete the mission, but also make a name for themselves by stepping on Ye Tian's corpse.
But to my surprise, the result was so dismal!
Two people perished, their bodies never to be found; three others fled severely wounded, like stray dogs!
"If I don't take revenge for this, I swear I won't be a human being!"
Bloodthirsty Prodigy roared, a mad light flashing in his single eye.
"Even if we alone, or even gather more of our peers, we probably won't be able to do anything to him."
The Fiendish Pride calmed down a bit, but the hatred in his tone remained undiminished.
"His strength has already surpassed the realm of ordinary geniuses."
The woman in the shadows raised her head, a hint of determination and ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
"The only way is... to find 'them'."
Upon hearing this, the other two were startled, and then the same expression appeared in their eyes.
"Natural disasters cannot diminish the prodigy..."
"Blood Fiend Prodigy," he murmured, his tone filled with awe and anticipation.
"That's right! Only by uniting with those monsters sealed for eternity, those true natural disasters, can we possibly suppress and kill Ye Tian!"
"It seems that Prince Yama has already joined forces with a certain awakened Holy Spirit. We must find them as soon as possible, or... find other awakened Calamities!"
The Bone-Eating Prodigy struggled to sit up and began to circulate his internal energy to heal his injuries, but the plan in his mind had already taken shape.
The three exchanged a glance, each seeing the overwhelming hatred and determination to unite in the other's eyes.
Ye Tian's power forced them to rely on forces they usually feared.
