Chapter 161: Sacred Light World Purge! Enemy Attack!
[Ding, used Soul Suppression Technique once, skill power increased by 100%; current amplification multiplier: 100,000x]
[Ding, Soul Suppression Technique amplification multiplier reached 100,000x, obtained special effect: Sacred Light World Purge]
The effect of Sacred Light World Purge was to release Holy Light to cover a massive area, clearing all mental and soul-related control or negative effects below the Lawlevel for friendly units.
Friendly units bathed in the Holy Light would additionally enjoy the special effect of Heart Commands Myriad Spirits.
The special effect description was very simple, but it was extremely formidable.
In particular, it could clear all negative effects below the Law.
This meant that non-Law-type mental and soul control skills simply could not take effect.
Even Law-grade skills would have a certain defensive effect against it.
Most importantly, Sacred Light World Purge was not a single-target skill, but a super-large-scale group skill that could cover all friendly personnel within range.
"The next step is to elevate Soul Suppression Technique to one million times, so that all skills will have a million-fold special effect!"
Jiang Yuan let out a soft breath.
With the 100,000-tier Soul Suppression Technique plus several special effects, enemies simply could not deal a devastating blow to him on the mental and soul level.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but open his own status panel.

[Guardian Willpower: 1,360,000 points]
Although Jiang Yuan's rank hadn't changed and had always been level sixty.
There were slight changes in his attributes, however.
The most obvious change was his Physique.
Because of the effect of Thunder Tribulation Dao Body, it had been continuously enhancing his physical fitness.
Under normal circumstances, his Physique attribute should have been 2010 points.
But after these days of refinement, his Physique had increased by 330 points!
At the same time, Agility and Strength had each increased by 20 points.
As for the Spirit attribute, it had one more point than before.
This single point came from the testing machine that exploded due to the counter-damage of the special effect of Heart Commands Myriad Spirits.
Every time he actively or passively resisted and immunized against mental and soul-type damage, his own Spirit attribute value would be permanently increased!
Although it wasn't much, every little bit counted.
"It would be great if I could continuously suffer mental control skills and inflict counter-damage!"
"That way, even if my rank doesn't increase, my Spirit attribute can keep growing!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help thinking inwardly.
However, he knew this was very difficult.
First of all, like the testing machine issued by the Federation, it cost over a million gold coins.
Blowing up a machine in exchange for just one point of Spirit attribute was obviously extremely uneconomical.
"If I could find a Class Holder who is skilled in mental and soul attack abilities..."
A flash of sharp light crossed Jiang Yuan's eyes.
He felt this was a way!
Having someone cast mental and soul control skills on him, and then using the special effect of Heart Commands Myriad Spirits to resist, would allow him to continuously increase his permanent Spirit attribute.
Furthermore, the added Spirit attribute points would definitely be a bit more than those from the machine.
The difficulty lay in two aspects: first, finding someone to cooperate with him, as Class Holders with this capability were not many.
Second, the opponent must have a certain level of mental defense and be able to withstand the counter-damage of the soul impact.
Otherwise, they might end up just like the machine and directly explode!
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan discovered a problem.
That was, although he had Water Healing Spell, which could heal physical injuries and also come with some mental restoration.
However, he didn't have a skill specifically used to treat and recover mental souls.
If he did, wouldn't that form a perpetual motion machine!
Having people attack him with mental skills, and even if they suffered counter-damage, he could help them treat their soul injuries, thereby creating a continuous loop!
"How come the more skills I master, the more shortcomings there seem to be?"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help saying with some helplessness.
In his view, he was still very far away from a truly all-rounded, omniscient, invincible hexagonal mage!
Buzz buzz buzz!
Suddenly, a piercing alarm sound abruptly tore through the tranquility of the carriage. Red warning lights flashed frantically, dyeing the entire carriage in a grim red glow.
"Alarm! Alarm! Sudden crisis detected! Please remain calm, everyone!"
A cold mechanical prompt sounded from the holographic broadcast, urgent and pressing.
Jiang Yuan abruptly opened his eyes, his figure steady as Mount Tai. He looked up out the window, his pupils contracting slightly.
At some unknown time, an extra silver-black Unified Examination exclusive mechanical train had appeared on each side of his train.
The three trains had originally been running parallel at a constant speed, but at this moment, piercing braking sounds came from all of them simultaneously. The car bodies scraped violently against the ground, shooting out sparks as their speed plummeted.
Ah!
Unprepared, the students inside the carriage were violently thrown forward by inertia. Many people directly tumbled to the ground, with the sounds of collisions and groans rising one after another. Someone's forehead hit the handrail, instantly bleeding, while others were pinned down by companions and found it difficult to get up for a moment.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
Zhao Biao reacted extremely quickly, reaching out to support two classmates beside him. Luo Hang and the other four also quickly gathered together, forming a small-scale defensive circle.
Jiang Yuan lightly tapped his toes on the ground, his figure anchored in place as his gaze locked firmly outside the window.
At this time, the train had driven into a long and narrow valley. Not far ahead, two mountains standing two to three hundred meters tall were actually slowly closing in like living creatures.
The deafening roar of rocks scraping echoed loudly, and loose stones tumbled down amidst the shaking mountain bodies, their speed growing faster and faster.
In the blink of an eye, the valley passage was narrowed by more than half, and finally merged together completely, forming an insurmountable great mountain.
If the train hadn't slammed on the emergency brakes in time, it would have long been crushed into powder by the closing peaks, and everyone inside the carriage would have turned into a bloody paste.
"Could it be an enemy attack?"
Jiang Yuan's mind instantly flashed back to Song Jingran's previous conversation.
Demon God Hall always favored causing trouble on the eve of the Unified Examination, specifically targeting special trains carrying Genius students.
At this time, the special mechanical train was far away from major base cities, located deep within a valley in the Wilderness Area.
This was precisely the moment when defenses were at their weakest and attacks were easiest to succeed.
Those two abnormally closing mountains were definitely not a natural phenomenon; they were inevitably a trap controlled by humans.
Chapter 162: A Meticulously Arranged Ambush Trap
"Abnormal movement detected in the mountains ahead, suspected to be artificially manipulated. Encounter with an unknown attack has been confirmed!"
"All students, immediately prepare for combat, follow military instructions, and strictly forbid leaving the train without authorization!"
A notification quickly popped up on the holographic screen.
As soon as the notification finished, footsteps echoed from the carriage connections. The military Class Holders responsible for escorting the students were fully armed, holding long-range energy firearms and close-combat weapons. With solemn expressions, they rushed down the train and quickly constructed a defensive formation around it.
However, Jiang Yuan's gaze swept across the surrounding valley, and he did not find a single trace of Demon God Hall personnel.
The train braked to a halt in the middle of the valley. Ahead, closing peaks blocked the way forward, and behind, rock walls sealed off the retreat route, plunging them into a desperate situation.
At this moment, deafening roars of monsters came from behind the rock walls on both sides of the valley and from the bushes at the bottom of the valley. The roars rose and fell one after another, carrying a bloodthirsty frenzy that made one's scalp tingle.
The next second, monsters surged from all directions, pouncing towards the three mechanical trains like a tide.
Their numbers were countless, completely surrounding the train from front, back, left, and right.
"It's a monster tide!"
A military soldier roared out.
The battle broke out instantly. The roar of energy firearms, the roars of monsters, and the metallic clashing of weapons intertwined, and the valley instantly turned into a battlefield.
Jiang Yuan's gaze was sharp, and he quickly distinguished several different Ferocious Beast groups.
The first kind was the Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros, which was the size of a small armored vehicle, nearly ten meters long, and covered in heavy dark-cyan rock armor. Crimson liquid like magma flowed through the gaps in the armor, and it had a thick spiral horn on its head that was incomparably hard.
Their defense was astonishing, able to ignore attacks from ordinary energy bullets and low-tier magic. They excelled at rampaging and posed a huge threat to the mechanical trains.
Once they got close to the train, the consequences would probably be unimaginable.
The second kind was the Wind-blade Locust, which was several times larger than ordinary locusts, with a wingspan of half a meter. Its wings were light cyan and transparent, emitting a sharp buzzing sound when vibrating. It could manipulate airflow to form sharp wind blades, densely cutting towards the target.
They flew in flocks, and their numbers were so huge that they blotted out the sky. The wind blades could easily tear through clothing and flesh, causing large-scale damage to dense crowds, and they were swift in action, making them extremely difficult to lock onto.
The third kind was the Venom-fang Shadow Wolf, similar in size to an adult wolf, pitch-black all over, with hair as smooth as satin. It could blend into shadows to hide its tracks, possessed extreme speed, and its teeth contained potent neurotoxins.
They excelled at sneak attacks, often pouncing from blind spots and quickly retreating after biting the target. The toxin acted extremely quickly, and the poisoned person would become paralyzed all over in a short moment, lose combat effectiveness, and become their food.
The fourth kind was the Flame-crystal Lizard, over three meters long, with scarlet red scales and dozens of rhombus-shaped flame crystals protruding from its back. It could spew high-temperature flames with extremely strong adhesiveness; once they touched clothing or skin, they would burn continuously and were difficult to extinguish.
Their skin was tough, able to resist some energy attacks, and they excelled at climbing rock walls, allowing them to dive down from high places and create a pincer attack on the defensive formation below.
The fifth kind was the Iron-devouring Ant Queen, taller than an ordinary human, black-gold all over, with an enlarged abdomen that could continuously reproduce iron-devouring ants the size of a fingernail.
The ant swarm was endless, and their teeth were incomparably sharp, capable of devouring metal, rock, and flesh.
Whether it was the train's outer shell, weapons and equipment, or human bodies, they could all be quickly devoured by them.
Although the Ant Queen's own defense was not top-tier, she had countless worker ants protecting her, acting like a moving Ferocious Beast nest with extreme destructive power.
"This is definitely a meticulously arranged ambush trap!"
A trace of shock flashed through Jiang Yuan's eyes.
The peaks ahead closed, cutting off their advancing route.
The monster groups attacking from all directions quickly formed an encirclement against them.
Moreover, these few kinds of monsters were all targeted.
The Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros acted like moving copper walls and iron bastions, surrounding them.
The Wind-blade Locust directly sealed off the airspace.
The Venom-fang Shadow Wolves carried out assassinations like assassins.
The iron-devouring ant swarm could easily tear through the mechanical train's defense and invade the carriages.
The sea of flames formed by the fire released by the Flame-crystal Lizards both formed an unbreakable encirclement and further compressed their defensive line.
"Hold the train! Don't let the monsters get close to the car body!"
The accompanying military general roared to issue orders, and the three mechanical trains shot out protective light shields, forming a defensive formation array.
Meanwhile, the military Class Holders formed a defensive line based on this to resist the attack of the monster groups.
Energy firearms fired wildly at the Rock-armored Giant Rhinoceros rushing at the very front; although they couldn't pierce the rock armor, they could temporarily block its forward speed.
Hundreds of Mage Class Holders chanted incantations and released various dazzling spells to bombard the incoming monsters, slowing down the attacking speed of the monster groups.
Over a thousand close-combat military Class Holders held various weapons, slaughtering the pouncing Venom-fang Shadow Wolves.
But the number of monsters was simply too many.
One wave fell, and another wave quickly replenished. The defensive formation was gradually compressed, and many close-combat Class Holders already had wounds added to their bodies.
For the three mechanical trains, the number of students alone was over ten thousand people.
Meanwhile, the military Class Holders and the accompanying personnel from various cities also numbered ten thousand people.
As for the number of monsters, it was even more, spreading across the entire valley and simply countless.
However, those participating in the battle at this time were basically all military Class Holders.
As for the accompanying experts from the major base cities, like Song Jingran and others, none of them had taken action yet.
Because they were very clear that the monster attack was merely just a beginning.
The real enemy was hiding behind, waiting for the murderous intent to arrive.
"Can we block the monsters' attack?"
Zhao Biao wore a look of terror and worry.
"We should be able to. The military must have a lot of experience in this regard!"
Jiang Yuan's tone was calm, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
After all, since Song Jingran guessed that the Demon God Hall might launch an attack, the Federation would definitely have a foolproof response plan.
After all, this concerned the lives of over ten thousand Genius students!
Once they were all killed, it would be a huge loss for the entire Federation.
What's more, the battle at this moment only stayed at the standoff between the monsters and the military.
Moreover, the military's defensive actions seemed very reasonable—stopping the car to defend against the enemy upon encountering danger, successfully resisting the monster attack.
But thinking carefully, it didn't make logical sense.
Under normal circumstances, even if they fell into an encirclement, the first consideration should be to escape and leave.
After all, this was not a hardpoint battle.
What needed to be guaranteed first was the safety of the students.
As for saying that they were surrounded by monsters and unable to breakthrough, Jiang Yuan certainly wouldn't believe it.
With the mechanical train's maneuverability, extremely fast speed, and the ability to activate defensive arrays, how could it be unable to break through the encirclement of a group of monsters?
It seemed that this was indeed a meticulously arranged ambush trap.
But whether the trap was laid by the Demon God Hall or the Federation was an unknown variable!
Chapter 163: Dark Earth Battle Saint! Scarlet Scale Blade Saint!
The fierce battle between the military soldiers and the monsters entered a white-hot stage, with the explosions of energy cannons, the rampage of magic arrows, and the wails of monsters rising one after another...
Just as the military soldiers and the monsters were locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle, hundreds of eerie black figures suddenly emerged from within the torrent of the monster horde.
They wore uniform black robes, and the exclusive insignia of the Demon God Hall clearly appeared on them.
Their wide black robes completely enveloped their figures, revealing only pairs of eyes gleaming with a dim green, cold light. The dark mist lingering around their bodies intertwined with the bloody aura of the monsters, and they shuttled through the monster groups with steady steps.
Wherever they passed, the monsters subconsciously gave way, obviously already controlled by them.
The Demon God Hall no longer concealed its whereabouts; under the cover of the monster horde, it launched a fatal general offensive, and the battle between the two sides instantly entered a white-hot stage!
The personnel of the Demon God Hall were basically dark Class Holders, possessing fatal and secretive abilities.
A figure in a black robe, with a slender build like a ghost and dual-wielding venom-quenched short blades, blended into the darkness where his traces were hard to find—he was undoubtedly an Shadow Assassin.
When launched, his surprise attack could trigger Shadow Blade Tear, and the dark energy attached to the short blades could leave wounds that were difficult to heal. He could also release an Shadow Avatar to create phantom images to interfere with vision, specifically targeting the enemy's weak points.
Multiple Shadow Assassins plunged into the monster group and charged toward the military Class Holders, intending to pierce through the military's defense line using a point-break method.
Behind them, a group of dark spellcasters, holding bone staffs and chanting spells, used demonization enhancement skills to scatter beams of black light onto the monsters, causing their sizes to surge, their eyes to turn blood-red, and them to completely lose control, doubling their combat power as they devolved into demonized monsters.
In addition, there were nether summoners surrounded by mid-to-low-rank nether minions, who could summon nether hounds and shadow Puppets from corpses to supplement their combat power. Nether fire specifically burned souls and energy barriers, and they could also cast dark resonance to share vitality with demonized monsters, greatly enhancing their survivability.
Among them was also a powerful dark class called the dark battle shaman, a melee class that balanced both offense and defense. Clad in enchanted black armor and wielding a spiked club, its skill Dark Frenzied Strike could bring a concussion effect to shatter shields, and the Blood Sacrifice Halo could sacrifice the essential blood of surrounding monsters to briefly enhance its own combat power, making it fearless and extremely formidable in breaking through formations.
Hum!
Three dark spellcasters raised their hands at the same time, their bone staffs striking the ground to emit a deep resonance. Obscure and terrifying chants resounded through the valley, and dozens of thick beams of black light enveloped the monster group ahead like a spiderweb.
After being hit by the black light, the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros and Fang-Toothed Nether Wolf were instantly surrounded by dense black mist.
The body length of the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros surged from ten meters to fifteen meters, its spiral horns gleamed with a dim light, and its charging force became increasingly terrifying.
The fangs of the Fang-Toothed Nether Wolf grew half an inch longer, its speed was so fast it left afterimages, and its poison became increasingly fierce.
The demonized monsters were like mad demons, launching a fierce assault at all costs against the military defense line.
The defense line that was originally barely holding on instantly became precarious. A dozen soldier Class Holders were sent flying by the demonized Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros, smashing heavily into the rock wall and fainting, while the breach in the defense line continued to expand.
"The accompanying mid-tier experts, follow me to counterattack!"
The federal military commander ordered sternly, and dozens of figures sprinted out. They were all mid-tier Class Holders over rank 90, and their auras were as deep and heavy as an abyss.
Song Jingran, a Fifth-Tier Archmage from Shanhai City, was prominently among them. He held a blue ice crystal staff, the deep-sea ice crystal at the top of the staff gleaming with a piercing cold light, and his steps stepped into the air as the water elements around him frantically converged!
A monstrous giant wave gushed out from the top of the staff, a full hundred meters long and tens of meters high, slapping toward the group of demonized monsters like a surging tsunami.
Hundreds of demonized Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceroses and Fang-Toothed Nether Wolves were swallowed by the giant wave, and the huge impact sent them flying tens of meters, their demonized state being slightly suppressed and receding by the water elements.
Quite a few monsters struggled to get up, but their auras were already listless.
Frigid Domain!
An ice-type mage made a move, and a force of extreme cold fell onto the giant wave, instantly freezing it into thick solid ice, freezing those hundreds of monsters to death on the spot, unable to move.
Other mid-tier experts also attacked one after another. The fire-type Class Holder released [Prairie Fire] to burn patches of wind-blade locusts; the flames and wind blades collided with a sizzling sound, and the locusts filling the sky fell one after another.
The lightning-type Class Holder condensed [Thunder Power Grid], and wherever the power grid enveloped, the demonized monsters convulsed all over, their combat power greatly reduced.
Five melee experts formed a charge array, holding sharp battle blades and treasured swords to cleave open the torrent of monsters, killing their way toward the members of the Demon God Hall. The collision of blade light and dark energy burst out dazzling sparks, and the sound of clashing metal was deafening.
An Shadow Assassin used the darkness and monsters as cover, quietly sneaked to the rear of the defense line, with the target pointing directly at the students inside the carriage.
Yet he was still discovered by the expert guarding the carriage. A sharp arrow pierced through the air, directly shooting through the Shadow Assassin's throat.
Both sides went back and forth, casualties intertwining.
The valley was dripping with blood. The wails of monsters, the roars of soldiers, and the explosions of skills intertwined. The battle was tragic to the extreme; every second someone fell, but no one dared to take half a step back.
Because behind them was the carriage fully loaded with students.
In fact, some students had already spoken out wanting to participate in the battle, but without exception, they were refused by the military, not letting them leave the vicinity of the carriage.
Just as both sides were fiercely fighting and the defense line was barely holding on.
Rumble!
A tremor even more violent than when the mountains closed in suddenly swept across the valley, and dull thunder seemed to ring out between heaven and earth.
Everyone subconsciously looked up to see that the hundreds-of-meters-high mountain that was originally stagnant ahead was actually moving abnormally once again. The entire mountain broke free from the restraint of the rock wall, lifted to high altitude by a terrifying force. Amidst the rolling rock layers, crushed stones fell like rain, crashing down toward the three trains and the battlefield with the force of a thousand jun!
Such power to move mountains and fill seas was definitely not something ordinary Class Holders could attain, and even mid-tier Peak experts could only look on and despair.
"It is a High-Tier Expert! At least a Seventh-Rank Saint-level figure!"
Jiang Yuan's expression condensed.
The real battle had just begun!
The combat power of a Seventh-Rank Saint-level expert was enough to turn the entire battle situation around.
If the massive mountain were allowed to crash down, everyone present would be crushed into meat paste.
The federal side naturally would not sit idly by and await death.
A blood-red figure suddenly shot out from the top of the train, rising into the air, surrounded by biting gales. Wherever he passed, groups of wind-blade locusts were torn into fragments by the gales before they could react, falling down one after another.
That was a tall and straight warrior, clad in scarlet scale armor all over. Scorching halos flowed over the scale pieces, and ferocious beast-head patterns were carved on the shoulder armor.
He had a resolute face, a faint blade scar condensed between his brows, and eyes as sharp as a falcon. He held a blood-colored battle blade, its blade body gleaming with a grim cold light, with a faint bloody aura circulating.
He was precisely the Seventh-Rank Saint-level Class Holder dispatched by the federation to guard the convoy and students!
Scarlet Scale Blade Saint!
Chapter 164 Three Saint-level Experts of the Demon God Hall
"Slash!"
The Scarlet Scale Blade Saint leaped into high altitude, the crimson douqi around his body wildly surging and intertwining with the halo of his armor, resembling a burning scorching sun.
He gripped the saber with both hands, forcefully raising it over his shoulder. The blood-colored battle saber was infused with douqi, instantly erupting into a crimson blade radiance several hundred meters long. Wherever the blade radiance passed, the air was scorched and twisted, trembling.
Accompanied by a deep shout, the blade radiance carried the might to split mountains and snap rocks, fiercely hacking toward the falling massive mountain!
Crack!
The piercing sound of rock shattering was deafening, several times more intense than a thunderclap.
That several-hundred-meter-long crimson blade radiance was like a blade of heavenly punishment, forcefully splitting the entire several-hundred-meter-tall mountain into two from the middle. At the fracture, the rock layers were exposed, and the scorching aura left behind by the crimson douqi baked the rubble until it turned slightly red.
The two halves of the mountain lost their support and crashed down toward both sides, slamming against the valley rock walls, triggering a violent landslide with boulders rolling and smoke and dust filling the air.
The entire valley was violently shaking, as if it were about to collapse.
Before the smoke and dust had dispersed, a low roar came from the location where the two mountains had originally merged.
Everyone looked intently, and within the smoke and dust, a hulking figure three to four meters tall slowly emerged.
That was a small giant clad in dark Magical Energy armor. The armor was pitch black throughout, with earthy yellow Magical Energy flowing through its gaps. Sharp bone spikes protruded from the shoulder armor, and the helmet obscured his face, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with scarlet light.
He was surrounded by dense earth-type dark energy, and the earth beneath his feet trembled slightly.
It was precisely the Seventh-Rank Saint-level expert dispatched by the Demon God Hall.
The darkness-type Earth Battle Saint!
"Damn it, how dare you ruin my good deed!"
The Earth Battle Saint spoke, his voice hoarse and muffled like grinding boulders. The earth-type Magical Energyaround his body surged wildly, and he slammed his hands heavily against the ground.
"Earth Ridge Spikes!"
Accompanied by his angry roar, the ground instantly split open into several massive gullies.
Dozens of pitch-black, faintly glowing giant ridge spikes burrowed out from the ground.
Each ridge spike was fully dozens of meters high and several meters thick, carrying a sharp piercing sound through the air.
They fiercely stabbed toward the Scarlet Scale Blade Sainthigh in the sky, sealing off all his evasion space.
"Break!"
The Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's eyes narrowed, his physical Qi bursting forth beneath his feet. His figure rapidly dodged in mid-air, and the crimson blade radiance condensed once more, sweeping horizontally toward the incoming earth ridge spikes.
The blade radiance collided with the earth ridge spikes, producing a huge roar like the clashing of gold and iron. The pitch-black ridge spikes were forcefully severed, and at the fracture points, the Magical Energy dissipated, turning into black debris filling the sky.
However, the Earth Battle Saint did not stop his offensive. His hands continuously formed hand seals, the earth beneath his feet churned, and more earth ridge spikes followed one after another.
At the same time, black soil waves surged from the ground, enveloping the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint like a tidal wave.
"Blood-Colored Blade Domain!"
The Scarlet Scale Blade Saint shouted in a deep voice. As his blood-colored battle saber waved, a crimson blade domain formed within a radius of several hundred meters around him. Countless tiny crimson Saber Qi rotated frantically; when the soil waves surged to the edge of the blade domain, they were instantly cut into pieces, and the earth ridge spikes also found it difficult to pierce through the blade domain's defense line.
His figure flashed, and under the cover of the blade domain, he sprinted toward the Earth Battle Saint. The blood-colored battle saber carried a fatal cold gleam, hacking toward the Earth Battle Saint's head.
The Earth Battle Saint let out a cold snort, crossing his arms to block. The dark Magical Energy armor flashed with a deep purple halo, forcefully taking this slash.
Clang!
The violent collision sound made the valley hum and buzz. The Earth Battle Saint was shaken back dozens of steps, the ground beneath his feet stomped into deep depressions, and a clear saber mark was left on the surface of his armor.
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint was also bounced away by the recoil force, stabilizing his figure in mid-air.
The two instantly clashed once again, the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's blood-colored blade radiance being sharp and swift.
Every single saber strike carried blazing douqi, hacking, sweeping, and thrusting—every move was fatal.
Wherever the Saber Qi passed, the ground was carved with deep gullies, and boulders shattered one after another.
As for the Earth Battle Saint, relying on earth-type Magical Energy to manipulate the earth, he would occasionally summon earth ridge spikes to launch sneak attacks, sometimes condense earth-type shields for defense, and at other times whip up a sky-full of stone rain to smash toward his opponent. The dark Magical Energy and earth elements around his body intertwined, resembling a moving mountain with both offense and defense.
The crimson blade radiance and black earth-type Magical Energy constantly collided, bursting forth with dazzling light. Energy shockwaves spread outward, blasting away the surrounding corrupted monsters and forming a vacuum area in the center of the battlefield.
"Hiss, is this the duel between Saint-level experts?"
"I feel that without a defensive magic array, just a single wave of Qi would be enough to kill me!"
Zhao Biao widened his eyes, his face filled with a look of utter horror.
The other students inside the carriage had expressions much the same.
After all, this should be their first time watching a duel between Seventh-Rank experts head-on at such a close distance.
"Is the Demon God Hall's strength really this strong?"
Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
The previous battle had only involved mid-tier Class Holders.
He hadn't expected that it would escalate to a confrontation between High-Tier Experts so quickly.
Even just a battle between Saint-level experts was enough to cause the valley to collapse and the earth to shatter.
Meanwhile, while the two Saint-level experts were clashing, the other mid-tier experts on the Federation's side seized the opportunity to pull back their defensive lines, slaughtering the approaching corrupted monsters while cautiously staring at the High-Tier Experts' duel.
The victory or defeat of these two people would directly determine the course of this battle.
Jiang Yuan raised his gaze to look at the fierce battle in high altitude, his eyes growing slightly deep.
The Seventh-Rank Saint-level duel had an aura so majestic it was heart-palpitating. The Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's douqi was blazing and fierce, while the Earth Battle Saint's earth-type Magical Energy was heavy and eerie; neither side could tell victory from defeat for a moment.
But he could perceive that the Earth Battle Saint's earth-type Magical Energy was still continuously drawing power from the earth.
If the battle dragged on without a victory, the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint would likely gradually fall into a disadvantage.
"Should I step in and help now?"
Jiang Yuan was indecisive in his heart.
He was wondering, did the Demon God Hall really only send one Seventh-Rank Saint-level expert? Could there be some other backup plan?
Before his words fell, a sudden change erupted in the high-altitude battlefield!
A distorted black mist suddenly surged in the Void, and a black figure stepped out from the spatial rift like a ghost, surrounded by a rich force of Void Shadow.
It was precisely the second Seventh-Rank Saint-levelexpert hidden by the Demon God Hall!
The Void Shadow!
With a slender figure, it wore a dark purple void-patterned black robe, the hem of its robe fading into the Void. It held a blade of shadow in its hand shimmering with a pitch-black cold light, the edges of the blade flowing with tiny spatial rifts. It excelled at wandering through the Void and fatal assassinations, capable of switching between reality and illusion, making its tracks hard to find.
Rip!
The moment the Void Shadow appeared, it launched a surprise attack taking advantage of the gap while the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint and the Earth Battle Saint were locked in combat. The blade of shadow sliced through the Void, carrying a sharp sound that tore through space, precisely stabbing toward the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's undefended chest.
When the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint noticed it, it was already too late. He could only hastily turn his body sideways, but he was still heavily slashed across his armor and flesh by the blade. Scarlet blood instantly spurted out, dyeing the crimson scales on his chest red.
A sharp pain struck, and the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint let out a muffled grunt. His aura instantly became chaotic, and the blood Qi radiance on his body dimmed by a few shades as well.
Even more fatally, an obscure dark chant suddenly came from the sky in the distance.
A black-robed figure flew through the air, holding a dark staff carved with skull and bat patterns. Imbedded at the top of the staff was a pitch-black magic crystal, and surging dark energy surrounded his entire body!
It was precisely the third Seventh-Rank Saint-level expert of the Demon God Hall!
The Darkness Magic Saint who excelled at darkness spells!
Chapter 165: Blazing Sun Battle Team with All Seventh Rank Members
"Darkness Annihilation!"
With a low shout from him, the magic crystal at the tip of the staff burst forth with dazzling black light, and a thick pillar of dark light condensed out of thin air, carrying the might to destroy everything as it fiercely smashed into Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's back.
"Bang!"
The violent explosion shook the valley, and Scarlet Scale Blade Saint was heavily struck by the pillar of light.
His entire body shot forward like a kite with a broken string, coughing up a large mouthful of fresh blood. The wound on his chest was torn open once again, blood soaking his scales and armor, and even the blood-colored battle saber in his hand trembled slightly.
Having suffered surprise attacks from two Saint-levelpowerhouses in succession, he was already severely injured, his aura withered, and the Dou Qi around his body could no longer maintain its Peak state.
"What?!"
"There are actually two more Saint-level powerhouses!"
Down in the valley, everyone was shocked, their faces filled with incredulous panic.
"Demon God Hall has actually gone to such great lengths this time, with three Seventh-Rank Saint-levelpowerhouses, along with a large number of intermediate dark Class Holders and monster tribes..."
A federal military general turned pale and muttered involuntarily.
"We're done for this time!"
Zhao Biao clenched his fists tightly, his complexion as pale as paper, and couldn't help muttering softly.
Everyone present knew that the core of this battle was never the fierce slaughter between the military and the monsters.
Nor was it the mutual consumption of intermediate Class Holders.
The victory or defeat of high-end combat power was the key to determining everyone's fate.
As a Saint-level powerhouse on the federal side, once Scarlet Scale Blade Saint fell, intermediate powerhouses alone would simply be unable to resist the offensives of the three Saint-level powerhouses from Demon God Hall.
By then, whether it was military soldiers, intermediate Class Holders from various base cities, or students with no ability to fight back, all would become ghosts under the blades of Demon God Hall.
"Humans as insignificant as ants, prepare to die!"
Earth Battle Saint stepped forward slowly, the earth-type Magical Energy around him growing increasingly dense. Looking at the heavily injured Scarlet Scale Blade Saint, he let out a hoarse, ferocious laugh.
Judging from his words, he clearly already regarded himself as belonging to the Abyssal Demon Race rather than humans.
Void Shadow lurked back into the Void, leaving behind only a faint shadow fluctuation, ready to launch the next surprise attack at any time.
Darkness Magic Saint held his staff and continued to chant spells, the dark energy around his body constantly gathering, clearly brewing a fatal blow.
Leaning on his blood-colored battle saber, Scarlet Scale Blade Saint barely stabilized his figure. His gaze remained sharp, yet it was difficult to conceal his declining momentum; fighting three alone, he had absolutely no chance of winning.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Yuan had already condensed a red flame at his fingertips, about to make a move to assist.
But he suddenly sensed five incomparably powerful auras bursting out from the mechanical train, shooting straight into the high sky like five thunderclaps!
"As expected, this so-called trap is not as simple as it appears on the surface!"
Jiang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and the flame in his hand instantly extinguished.
Their auras were heavy and majestic, not inferior in the least to Scarlet Scale Blade Saint and the three Saint-levelpowerhouses of Demon God Hall—they were actually five federal Seventh-Rank Saint-level powerhouses!
The situation instantly reversed, and the once precarious battle situation welcomed another heaven-defying turnaround.
The expressions of the three Saint-level powerhouses from Demon God Hall changed abruptly, their eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief!
Having meticulously laid out their plan, they thought they could crush the federal Saint-level combat power three-on-one, but they hadn't expected the Federation to have secretly hidden its trump cards long ago.
Five figures landed beside Scarlet Scale Blade Saint, standing shoulder to shoulder with him.
The six Saint-level auras intertwined together, majestic and towering like mountains, instantly suppressing the arrogant aura of the three Saint-level powerhouses from Demon God Hall.
The originally three-on-one crushing match instantly turned into a three-on-six absolute disadvantage.
The layouts of both sides were nested layer upon layer.
The praying mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
No one knew who would have the last laugh in the end.
"Could this be the... Blazing Sun Battle Team from Nanjiang City?"
Inside the carriage, someone recognized the origins of these five powerhouses.
The reputation of the Blazing Sun Battle Team was even more famous than Dongque City's Divine Wing Battle Team.
No other reason, the five members of the Divine Wing Battle Team were only at the Sixth-Turn in strength.
Meanwhile, the five members of the Blazing Sun Battle Team were all at the Seventh-Rank Saint-level strength.
Saint-level was already the high-end combat power of the Federation.
The first was named Azure Water Saint Lord, nicknamed the Azure Water Sage.
He was dressed in light blue cloud-patterned brocade robes, holding a blue jade staff embedded with a millennium ice soul at its tip, surrounded by warm water element energy.
He served the role of support and control in the team.
At this moment, Azure Water Saint Lord released a spirit spring healing skill, and the spring water containing life energy rapidly repaired Scarlet Scale Blade Saint's injuries.
And standing at the very front of the entire battle team, looking directly at the three of Earth Battle Saint was a stalwart man.
He was dressed in fire-red flame-patterned armor, with his shoulder guards carved with scorching sun totems, holding a huge blazing sun war hammer. The hammer body burned with an inextinguishable flame, and a scorching aura emanated from his entire body.
He was team leader Xiao Zhan, known as the Blazing Sun Battle Saint!
The third person in the team was named Frost Sword Saint.
With a tall and slender figure, she was dressed in silver-white ice-patterned light armor. The armor plates fit snugly against her body without affecting agility, and she held a pair of frost longswords. The swords emitted a piercing cold light, and bone-chilling cold qi lingered around her body.
This was a sword dao expert who had undergone Fusionwith the ice element.
The fourth person was named Mo Chen, whose face was hidden by a hood, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, looking very mysterious.
Jiang Yuan could sense that the other party possessed a special Nether Qi, but it was somewhat different from the aura of the Abyssal Demon Race.
In terms of ability, it should be related to the spirit and soul.
The last one was Thunderbolt Saint Venerable.
Dressed in dark purple thunder-patterned armor, with fragmented thunder light flowing through the gaps of the armor, he held a thunder longspear. The tip of the spear was constantly entwined with crackling thunder, and a domineering thunder aura emanated from his entire body.
His ability was thunder control and long-range surprise attacks, excelling in area-of-effect damage and defense-breaking.
Jiang Yuan discovered that this battle team's configuration far exceeded that of ordinary Class Holder teams.
Moreover, the power controlled by each person was not a single kind, but possessed at least two.
For example, Thunderbolt Saint Venerable could be said to be a mage controlling the power of thunder, yet he wore armor and wielded a longspear.
"Blazing Sun Battle Team, I didn't expect the Federation to actually send you out!"
Darkness Magic Saint's expression was gloomy to the extreme, and the dark energy of the staff in his hand became increasingly violent.
"Hmph, even with five more, we won't necessarily lose!"
Earth-type Magical Energy rolled around Earth Battle Saint as he stared fixedly at the six federal Saint-levelClass Holders, his tone hoarse.
Void Shadow hid in the Void once again, eyes cold, searching for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
"Cheng Ran (Scarlet Scale Blade Saint), stabilize your injuries first, leave the rest to us."
Azure Water Saint Lord raised his hand and waved, and an azure water shield enveloped Scarlet Scale Blade Saint, the power of the spirit spring continuously repairing his wounds.
"Scum of Demon God Hall, today let you taste the flavor of the blazing sun holy fire!"
Xiao Zhan gripped the blazing sun war hammer tightly, the holy fire burning fiercely as he laughed aloud.
Frost Sword Saint drew her twin swords, cold qi permeating the air as her figure slightly arched, already entering a combat state.
Mo Chen gently waved his whisk, and the shimmering light of purification spread out, enveloping the entire venue.
Thunderbolt Saint Venerable pointed his spear at Darkness Magic Saint, the power of thunder surging drastically, thunder light flashing at the tip of the spear, ready to launch a surprise attack at any time.
High above in the sky, the six federal Saint-level auras collided fiercely with the three Demon God Hall Saint-level auras. The air was compressed to the point of distortion and tremor, and energy fluctuations spread outward, forcing the battle down in the valley to come to a standstill.
Chapter 166: A Trap Within a Trap! Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor!
" It turns out this is the true purpose of the Federation! "
" Utilizing the Demon God Hall to ambush the mechanical fleet transporting students, they dispatched experts in advance to conduct a counter-ambush! "
" If we can wipe out three Saint-level experts of the Demon God Hall in one fell swoop, it can be considered a heavy loss for the Demon God Hall! "
Jiang Yuan looked up into the high sky with deep eyes.
This contest of layout and counter-layout has truly entered a white-hot stage.
Azure Water Saint Lord, Xiao Zhan, and the other three stood side by side, their Saint-level auras intertwining into an unbreakable battle formation.
" Everyone, make it quick and decisive, and do not leave the Demon God Hall any breathing room! "
Xiao Zhan and the other five were not temporarily assembled Saint-level Class Holders, but a renowned Saint-level battle team from Nanjiang City!
Blazing Sun Battle Team!
The name of the team resounded throughout the Federation, serving as the top combat force used by the Federation to deter the dark forces.
Their existence was precisely to hunt down personnel of the dark faction led by the Demon God Hall!
The five of them had tacit coordination, having gone through hundreds of campaigns to encircle and suppress the strongholds of the Demon God Hall, winning every time with crushing momentum, and countless Demon God Hall Class Holders had died at their hands.
This time, hiding within the train was the ultimate backup plan laid out by the Federation to protect the geniuses of the Unified Examination.
Their goal was precisely those three Seventh-Rank Saint-level experts of the Demon God Hall.
You must know that the Demon God Hall was hidden extremely deep within the Federation territory; normally it was hard to find even a single Saint-level, but now there were as many as three.
If they were killed, it would definitely make the Demon God Hall feel a heartache beyond measure.
You must know that even for the Federation, Seventh Rankcombat power was also high-end combat power and a core pillar.
Needless to say more for the Demon God Hall.
" Blazing Sun Burns the Heavens, Purge All Demons! "
Xiao Zhan burst into laughter, the holy fire on his blazing sun war hammer surging intensely, almost illuminating the entire valley: " Today, let this group of Demon God Hallscum taste the might of our battle team! "
Frost Sword Saint's twin swords were already primed and ready, their cold glint reflecting and complementing Xiao Zhan's holy fire.
Mo Chen waved his whisk lightly, a shimmering purification light lingering around the entire team, setting up a soulprotection in advance to prevent the erosion of the dark Demonic Qi from these people of the Demon God Hall.
Thunderbolt Saint Venerable held his spear, aiming at the direction of the Void Shadow, locking the Thunder power onto that ethereal shadow fluctuation, waiting only for the command to launch a surprise attack.
" Hehe, do you think you have already won? "
Facing the encirclement of the Blazing Sun Battle Team, Dark Earth Battle Saint showed no fear and instead laughed, revealing a trace of a mocking expression.
Just as both sides were at daggers drawn and on the verge of erupting into an ultimate duel of Saint-level experts,
a low roar that resounded through the clouds suddenly came over.
That sound did not come from any specific person or monster; it felt more like coercion originating from the depths of heaven and earth, carrying an aura of wildness and destruction, instantly enveloping the entire valley!
" Uh... "
Throughout the upper and lower valley, whether they were Federation soldiers, students, corrupted monsters, or members of the Demon God Hall, all of them were oppressed by this coercion until their bodies stiffened and their breathing grew rapid.
Many low-tier Class Holders could not even help kneeling to the ground, their weapons slipping from their hands one after another.
" This... What kind of aura is this? It is even more terrifying than all six Saint-levels combined! "
Zhao Biao gripped his battle saber tightly, his knees trembling uncontrollably, his face flushed red, and he barely managed to stand firm with all his might, leaving only extreme panic in his heart.
" Above the Seventh Rank... That should be an Eighth-Rank Emperor Level Expert! "
Jiang Yuan also frowned slightly, the flames around his body condensing once more, and releasing his full strength to barely resist this coercion.
This was definitely not a power that a Seventh-Rank Saint-level could possess, but at least an even higher-tier existence!
Everyone endured the coercion and looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw a terrifying figure slowly stepping out from the deepest part of the distant monster group.
That figure was as tall as five or six meters, clad in battle armor condensed from monster skeletons and dark Magical Energy.
Inlaid on the battle armor were countless monster fangs and crystal cores, surrounded by surging black Demonic Qiand a primeval aura, its face concealed by a ferocious beast-bone helmet, revealing only a pair of blood-stained vertical pupils.
This tall build and terrifying aura did not look like a person at all, but rather a monster!
Wherever his gaze swept, even the crowd of Seventh-Rank Saint-level experts of the Blazing Sun Battle Teamfelt a wave of palpitation.
This was the Eighth-turn Emperor Rank stronger than the Seventh-Rank Saint-level!
" Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor! "
Xiao Zhan gripped the blazing sun war hammer in his hand tightly, his pupils contracting involuntarily, clearly recognizing the opponent's background.
Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor was an iconic emperor-level figure of the Demon God Hall, and a notorious felon on the Federation's wanted list.
In terms of abilities, he was most skilled in the three ultimate techniques of beast-taming, beast-controlling, and beast-summoning, capable of using his own dark power to control and tame high-tier monsters, and even communicating with the Abyss Realm to summon monsters.
His methods were bizarre and ruthless, having destroyed several small and medium-sized base cities of the Federation over the years, staining his hands with the blood of countless Federation soldiers and civilians.
They frequently dealt with people from the Demon God Hall, so naturally it was impossible for them not to know him.
What was even more despairing was that behind Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, five peerlessly powerful auras erupted simultaneously, turning out to be five Tier 7 monster kings!
Their bodies were several times larger than ordinary peers, surrounded by energy halos of their exclusive attributes, with tyrannical blood glints in their eyes, clearly controlled by Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
These corresponded respectively to the five major monster groups that had previously attacked the fleet.
The Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros King reached a length of fifty to sixty meters, its entire body covered in dark gold rock armor, with magma torrents flowing across the armor plates.
The Wind Blade Locust King had a wingspan exceeding ten meters, ink-black wings, and could condense several-meter-long sharp wind blades when vibrating, capable of manipulating fierce winds to form a wind blade storm!
As well as the Blaze Crystal Lizard King, the Poison Fang Nether Wolf King, and the Iron-Devouring Ant Queen.
Tier 7 for monsters corresponded to the title of 'King', which was considered to be the same level of existence as the Human Race's saints and the Demon Race's demon lords.
One Emperor and Five Kings!
The six high-tier auras intertwined together, enveloping the entire scene like Mount Tai pressing down on the summit, instantly suppressing the auras of the Blazing Sun Battle Team and the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint.
The Federation's original advantageous six-on-three situation was completely reversed the instant Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor and the five monster kings appeared; the arrogance of the Demon God Hall surged violently once again, while the Federation side fell into an unprecedented desperate situation.
" Little bugs of the Federation, did you not expect this? "
" Today is the burial place for you and these Genius brats! "
" Previously, you all devised ambushes against our Demon God Hall. Today, it is time for you to taste the feeling of being ambushed and backstabbed! "
Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor spoke, his voice sounding like the roar of a primeval giant beast, carrying a cold banter.
He waved his hand, and the five monster kings simultaneously let out a violent roar, pouncing towards the battle team and the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint.
The Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros King charged at the front, the Wind Blade Locust King hovered in the air, the Poison Fang Nether Wolf King concealed itself in the shadows, the Blaze Crystal Lizard King spat out magma fireballs, and the Iron-Devouring Ant Queen followed closely behind.
The faces of the five members of the battle team changed drastically; they never expected that hidden behind the Demon God Hall was actually an Eighth-Rank Emperor Level Expert.
And this time, the true target of the Demon God Hall was not the special train transporting students.
But rather them, the Blazing Sun Battle Team!
Come to think of it, the actions of the Blazing Sun Battle Team frequently hunting down members of the Demon God Hall and destroying their strongholds had provoked the wrath of the Demon God Hall.
Thus, they spared no effort to lay down a trap within a trap, and even dispatched an Emperor Rank Expert, with the sole target of killing them!
Chapter 167: The Flame God Appears
"Everyone, hold steady!"
"Join forces to withstand the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor's attack first!"
Azure Water Saint Lord quickly applied the buff effect of the Azure Water Thousand-Layer Shield to everyone and said in a deep voice, "Although this place is far from the base city, once the battle breaks out, I presume federal experts will soon come to assist."
What they needed to do now was no longer to hunt down the three Saint-level experts from the Demon God Hall.
Instead, they had to switch from offense to defense!
Once they retreated, it would not just be the five of them who died, but also the tens of thousands of students and military Class Holders from various base cities on the ground.
Xiao Zhan swung his blazing sun war hammer to meet the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros King; the holy fire and lava collided, sparking blinding flames!
Frost Sword Saint flashed, her twin swords pointed directly at the Wind Blade Locust King, ice blades and wind blades intertwining in a fierce battle!
Mo Chen waved his whisk to emit a purifying shimmer, attempting to disperse the Netherworld Poison Mist of the Poison Fang Nether Wolf King!
Thunderbolt Saint Venerable wielded his spear, launching the Thunder Dragon Piercing Sun towards the Blaze Crystal Lizard King!
Although Scarlet Scale Blade Saint had not fully recovered, he gripped his blood-colored battle saber and launched an assault against the Iron-Devouring Ant Queen.
Even though their strength was greater than the five Monster Kings,
They still felt immense pressure.
Because the true formidable enemy was the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor behind them!
The Blazing Sun Battle Team had to be vigilant against sneak attacks from the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor while fighting.
For them, the bad news at this moment was that an Eighth-Rank Emperor Level Expert with strength far superior to theirs had appeared from the Demon God Hall.
But the good news was that it was the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor who had come.
His profession was not public, but based on his ability performance, he was equivalent to a combination of a Summoner and a Beast Tamer.
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor's own combat power was not as formidable as other Emperor Rank Experts; his main means were the monsters he controlled.
"It seems that, in the end, it cannot be avoided."
Jiang Yuan took in the high-altitude battle situation, his eyes growing increasingly deep.
The five members of the battle team no longer had their previous composure; instead, their faces were filled with gravity and anxiety, and their figures became increasingly disheveled under the pincer attack of the five Monster Kings and the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
Jiang Yuan understood clearly in his heart!
This exceeded the scope of their plan.
The Blazing Sun Battle Team was originally a backup plan laid by the Federation, intending to turn the tables by using the Demon God Hall's surprise attack as an opportunity to set a trap and encircle and kill the three Saint-levelexperts: Earth Battle Saint, Void Shadow, and Darkness Magic Saint.
But they did not expect the Demon God Hall to be one step ahead, laying a trap within a trap.
They had actually hidden the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor as their trump card, aiming directly at this Saint-level battle team.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan flashed and disappeared into the crowd.
And the next moment, when he reappeared, it was already a thunder spirit clone completely indistinguishable from himself.
High in the sky, the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperorfinally made his move personally. Dark Magical Energy and a wild, ancient aura intertwined around him. Every strike carried the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. Combined with the coordinated attacks of the five Monster Kings, he instantly forced the Blazing Sun Battle Team into a desperate situation.
Azure Water Saint Lord's Azure Water Thousand-Layer Shield shattered layer by layer under the lava collision of the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros King.
Xiao Zhan's Burning Heaven Battle Domain was scorched by the Blaze Crystal Lizard King's lava fireballs, teetering on the brink of collapse.
Frost Sword Saint was showing signs of fatigue while dealing with the Wind Blade Locust King's Ten Thousand Blade Storm.
Mo Chen's purifying shimmer was suppressed by the Poison Fang Nether Wolf King's Netherworld Poison Mist.
Thunderbolt Saint Venerable's thunder spear could contain the ant tide of the Iron-Devouring Ant Queen, but it was difficult to attend to other directions.
Scarlet Scale Blade Saint was also being beaten back step by step.
In just a few breaths, the Blazing Sun Battle Team fell into an absolute disadvantage.
A battle team composed of Seventh-Rank Saint-levelClass Holders was certainly formidable.
But facing the crushing force of an Eighth-Rank Emperor and five Seventh-Rank Monster Kings, they were ultimately powerless.
Not to mention that there were three other Saint-levelexperts from the Demon God Hall nearby, watching like tigers, looking for flaws, and waiting for an opportunity to act.
Boom!
While the high-altitude battlefield was fiercely engaged, a crimson-gold figure soared into the sky.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan no longer suppressed his own strength. The Flame God's aura awakened like a sleeping volcano, colliding violently with the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor's sovereign pressure, causing the entire valley to tremble.
At this moment, a silent roar seemed to resound between heaven and earth.
Flames steamed around Jiang Yuan's body, like a deity descending from an ancient fire realm. The Flame God's pressure spread out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Flame God!
Many people recognized this crimson-gold figure!
Jiang Yuan had to act now.
Because he knew very well that the Federation had no more backup plans.
If the stalemate continued, there would inevitably be casualties among the Saint-level experts.
Every Saint-level expert was a pillar of support cultivated by the Federation over decades or even centuries of resources, and they were the main force resisting the Abyss invasion. The fall of any one of them would be a huge loss that the Federation could not bear.
"Hmm?"
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor sensed this suddenly appearing powerful aura, his offensive suddenly stalling, and a trace of vigilance and surprise flashed in his blood-colored vertical pupils.
He instinctively stopped his movements, staring fixedly at the Flame God, secretly shocked in his heart!
Could the Federation still be hiding an Emperor Rank Expert?
If they came specifically for him, the battle situation today might have variables.
His dark Magical Energy surged instantly, preparing for an attack from an Emperor Rank Expert.
But when he carefully sensed the aura on the Flame God, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, and a contemptuous grin curled up at the corners of his mouth.
The scene of the Flame God's appearance was indeed cool, and the flame aura was majestic and domineering, far exceeding a normal Seventh-Rank Saint-level, but it ultimately lacked the oppression of an Eighth-Rank Emperor that transcended all living beings.
"So it's just a little fellow at the Peak of Saint-level; it counts as an unexpected surprise."
"I thought the Federation had hidden an Emperor Rank backup; it's just a slightly stronger Saint-level."
"In this situation, just you alone, you cannot change anything!"
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor's tone carried a savage mockery, and the greed in his eyes grew stronger, "What you are facing is an Emperor!"
In his view, everyone below the Emperor Rank was an ant.
Even with one more Peak Saint-level expert, the Federation had a total of seven Saint-level combat powers, but against him (an Emperor), the three Saints, and the five Monster Kings, it was still an absolute disadvantage.
The appearance of the Flame God was just a small ripple in this crushing battle, and it was still under the control of his plan.
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor waved his hand, signaling the five Monster Kings to continue containing the battle team, while he slowly turned towards the Flame God, his dark Magical Energy and earth-element energy intertwining, preparing to refine this little fellow with amazing potential with his own hands.
Facing the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor's contempt, the Flame God (Jiang Yuan) remained expressionless, the flames around his body already climbing to the extreme.
"Extinction Flame Dragon!"
Without extra words, he raised his hand towards the sky and clenched it sharply, shouting in a low voice.
Boom!
Terrifying energy fluctuations instantly swept across the heavens and earth.
High above, the crimson-gold torrent of flames gathered crazily, forcibly tearing open a space rift thousands of meters long.
An extremely scorching flame aura flowed within the rift, and even the air was scorched and twisted into vaporization, making sizzling, ear-piercing sounds.
The next second, an Extinction Flame Dragon, formed entirely from the World-Extinguishing Ember Flames, roared out from the rift. Its dragon body exceeded a thousand meters, its scales shimmering with a brilliant crimson-gold halo, its dragon horns sharp as blades, and its dragon eyes burning with raging flames.
Every tail swing kicked up waves of fire across the sky, and the low dragon roar shook the valley walls, causing debris to fall like rain.
Chapter 168: Mutual Apprehension
This scene instantly shocked everyone present!
Throughout the valley, regardless of which faction they belonged to, everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing, their eyes locked firmly on the Extinction Flame Dragon in the sky, filled with extreme shock and disbelief.
The five members of the Blazing Sun Battle Team also took the opportunity to steady themselves, their eyes filled with astonishment as they looked at the form of the Extinction Flame Dragon!
A fire Skill with this level of power likely already exceeded the limits of the Saint-level!
The three Earth Battle Saints had their expressions change drastically; they could clearly feel the destructive power contained within the Extinction Flame Dragon!
If they were hit, even with dark energy protecting their bodies, they would inevitably suffer heavy injuries.
The contempt on the face of the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor instantly froze, his blood-colored slit pupils suddenly shrinking to pinpoints, and the dark magic energy around him trembled violently and uncontrollably.
Only then did he realize that he had underestimated this guy who had suddenly appeared!
The power of this Extinction Flame Dragon was actually infinitely close to an Emperor-level attack!
Furthermore, he could also feel that the flames carried by the Extinction Flame Dragon seemed to possess Law-level power!
That was a power he hadn't even truly mastered yet!
"Damn it! How can this guy's power be so strong?"
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor cursed inwardly.
No longer daring to be even slightly dismissive, the dark energy around him intertwined crazily, condensing into a thick dark magic shield in front of him, preparing for all-out defense.
Even the five monster kings that had been attacking previously were summoned back to stand by his side.
On one hand, Flame God was an unexpected figure with an unknown background and strength; he could be a Seventh-Rank Saint-level, or he could be deliberately hiding his true strength and actually be an Eighth-Rank Emperor Level Expert.
If Flame God was Eighth-Rank, he would definitely pose a threat to his life.
On the other hand, the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor was not a melee Class Holder after all; his weak defense was his disadvantage, which was also the drawback of all ranged Class Holders.
Flame God stood amidst the sea of fire, red-gold flames flowing around him. Such a grand entrance was naturally not for show, but to provoke apprehension in the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
To be honest, although he had successfully killed the mental clone of the Abyss Demon Emperor in the dungeonby joining forces with Jiang Heng.
However, if he were to face an Eighth-Rank Emperor Level Expert alone, he did not have absolute certainty.
At this moment, he had the same mentality as the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, and they both felt great apprehension toward each other.
Furthermore, Emperor-level experts were not only powerful in combat, but they were also not easily killed.
Jiang Yuan's gaze bypassed the brawling Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor and the Blazing Sun Battle Team, precisely locking onto the figures of the three Saint-level Experts from the Demon God Hall.
"Can you continue to block him without any issues?"
Jiang Yuan's voice was majestic and deep.
He already had a plan in mind.
Although the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor was strong, his core combat power was not himself.
Rather, it relied on the suppression provided by the five ferocious beast kings under his command and the endless swarm of ferocious beasts.
The five members of the Blazing Sun Battle Team not only had tacit cooperation, but they were also not ordinary Seventh-Rank Saint-level experts.
Even if they couldn't defeat the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, blocking and suppressing him for a short time was by no means difficult.
While the source of this crisis lay with the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, it was clearly not easy to repel or kill an Emperor in a short amount of time.
Before that, it was necessary to first eliminate some of the help that could assist the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
That is, the three Saint-level Experts from the Demon God Hall who seemed to be drifting outside the battlefield and could launch a surprise attack at any time!
Only by first removing these three hidden threats could the situation be gradually turned around.
"Rest assured, we will stop him even if it costs us our lives!"
Xiao Zhan brandished the blazing sun war hammer and promised solemnly.
Although he did not know Flame God's true identity, there was no doubt now that Flame God was on their side.
Previously, they had faced the siege of a group of Demon God Hall experts and could only defend passively, not daring to show the slightest flaw.
Now, if Flame God dealt with those three Demon God HallSaint-level Experts, it would at least be able to share some of the pressure.
Even facing the combination of one Emperor and five Kings, they would be able to hold out for a while.
"Very good!"
Jiang Yuan's gaze swept over the Dark Earth Battle Saint, Void Shadow, and the Darkness Magic Saint; Flame God's gaze finally settled on the Darkness Magic Saint, who was wearing a robe with skull and bat patterns.
It was not because the opponent was the weakest; on the contrary, the long-range destruction spells and curse abilities of the Darkness Magic Saint were extremely threatening.
But in terms of defense, as a mage, he was inevitably the weakest link among the three.
He was also the breakthrough point most easily killed quickly to break the balance of combat power.
A frigid killing intent locked onto the Darkness Magic Saintlike a tangible force, without any concealment.
The Darkness Magic Saint's heart tightened suddenly, and the dark magic energy around him instantly became restless.
He had been through many battles and was extremely rich in combat experience; his perception of killing intent was extremely sharp, and he perceived a fatal threat almost the instant Flame God's gaze locked onto him.
"You want to kill me!?"
The Darkness Magic Saint shouted in a low, sharp voice, a flash of ruthlessness and vigilance in his eyes.
He knew deep down that as a fragile mage, he must not sit and wait for death; only by striking first to seize the initiative could he gain the upper hand.
Before his voice fell, the Darkness Magic Saint waved his staff frantically, the jet-black magic crystal at the top erupting with a dazzling black light, and an obscure incantation resounded through the sky like a thunderclap.
The surging dark energy around him gathered crazily, transforming into a giant dark beam of light entwined with countless phantoms of vengeful spirits.
Carrying the momentum to corrode everything and annihilate life, it blasted fiercely toward Flame God.
This strike condensed his full combat power and was a killing move sufficient to severely injure an ordinary peak Saint-level Expert, intending to severely injure Flame Godbefore he could get close.
Facing the Darkness Magic Saint and Flame God who had suddenly started fighting for their lives, everyone else present tacitly did not participate.
Especially the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, who was instead watching the battle between the two sides with great anticipation.
Because he could not judge Flame God's true combat power.
If he could let the Darkness Magic Saint probe Flame God's true capabilities, he would be able to change his own battle plan based on the enemy's strength.
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor was able to survive until now not by relying on his powerful strength, but by his cautious style of conduct and accurate analysis of the situation.
If the wind blew the wrong way, the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor would definitely choose to protect himself.
After all, only surviving was the truth!
"You are the one I'm killing!"
Jiang Yuan gave a cold hum, his voice cold and bone-chilling, and the originally scorching flame aura around him changed suddenly.
He saw him raise his hand and wave it lightly, a stream of extremely frigid, icy aura gushing out from his body, forming a strange and terrifying interweaving with the surrounding red-gold flames, instantly sweeping across the entire high-altitude battlefield.
"Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles!"
Jiang Yuan, transformed into Flame God, gave a low shout, and the power of the extremely cold Law spread out like a tsunami.
The air, which had originally been distorted by the scorching flames, was instantly frozen into crystalline ice crystals; the sizzling sound of vaporization stopped abruptly, replaced by the crisp sound of ice layers spreading.
Chapter 169: Slaying the Darkness Magic Saint
High in the sky, crimson-gold flames and pale blue cold air intertwined, forming a distinct, beautiful yet deadly boundary, with countless tiny ice shards condensing in mid-air like suspended blades, glinting with a biting cold light.
The power of extreme cold did not spread aimlessly, but as if guided, it converged entirely toward the Darkness Magic Saint, forming an Ice Seal Domain around him in the blink of an eye.
Within the domain, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and even light was frozen into pillars of ice crystals.
This time, the Ice Seal Ten Thousand Miles Law Power activated by the Flame God precisely locked onto the Darkness Magic Saint alone!
The terrifying law of confinement, like invisible chains, wrapped around from all directions, instantly freezing the Darkness Magic Saint's figure in mid-air.
The staff in his hand remained in a swinging posture, the Dark Demonic Light at his fingertips had not yet dissipated, and the incantation in his mouth came to an abrupt halt.
Only his eyes were filled with extreme shock and disbelief, his pupils contracted to pinpricks, and even the Dark Demonic Energy around his body was frozen on his skin, unable to be mobilized in the slightest.
He could clearly feel that the power of extreme cold had tyrannically frozen his body, rendering him completely a lamb waiting for slaughter.
Since breaking through to the Seventh-Turn Magic Saint, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and his heart was filled with utter despair.
At this moment, he wanted to shout, asking the only Emperor-level expert in the field to save him.
However, he could not make a sound at all.
Even seeing the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperorimprisoned in mid-air by the Ice Sealing Law Power made his heart tremble involuntarily.
Another type of powerful Law Power!?
Who exactly is this Flame God!
He had already been very wary of the Flame God, and now he dared not act rashly.
Who knew if the Flame God's actions were meant to lure him in.
If he were to make a move, wouldn't he be playing right into the Flame God's hands?
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, who had always been cautious, would never do anything without certainty!
Even facing the siege of the Blazing Sun Battle Team and the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint, six people in total, the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor focused mainly on defense, never revealing a single flaw.
As for the life or death of the Darkness Magic Saint?
What did that have to do with him!
The Demon God Hall appeared to be a powerful organization.
However, for a group of selfish guys who had willingly fallen into becoming demons, the internal cohesion was not as strong as that of the Federation.
Roar!
At this moment, the Extinction Flame Dragon that had been circling high in the sky let out a roar that shook the heavens, and under the Flame God's control, with the power to destroy the world, it lunged toward the frozen Darkness Magic Saint.
The dragon's head opened slightly, and a breath of World-Extinguishing Ember Flames, crimson all over and carrying spatial rifts, erupted, instantly swallowing the Darkness Magic Saint's body.
The crimson-gold flames collided with the pale blue Ice Seal Domain, erupting in blinding light; the extreme heat and extreme cold intertwined, causing ripples in the surrounding space.
"No!"
Under the dual pressure of fire and ice, the Darkness Magic Saint finally broke free from the confinement for a moment and let out a desperate roar.
He exhausted his last bit of strength to mobilize the magical power within his body, and an extremely dense Dark Demonic Light erupted from his body.
At the same time, three brilliant rays of light lit up on his body in succession, and three life-saving jade pendants he carried shattered, turning into three heavy dark shields in an attempt to withstand this fatal blow.
These three jade pendants were treasures refined by the Demon God Hall at the cost of vast resources, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from below the Emperor-level, and were his trump cards for survival.
But in front of the Extinction Flame Dragon's World-Extinguishing Dragon Breath, these three shields were as fragile as paper.
The crimson-gold flame flow instantly tore through the first shield, then broke through the second and third; the dark energy collided with the flames, turning into black debris that filled the sky and dissipated in mid-air.
The World-Extinguishing Ember Flames landed on the Darkness Magic Saint without obstruction, instantly scorching his robes and flesh; his entire body was engulfed in flames, emitting a sizzling sound.
These three treasures only bought him a breath or two of respite.
Moreover, no matter how he struggled, he could not escape the confinement of the Ice Sealing Law Power.
Even with more life-saving methods, he could not change the final outcome.
The Darkness Magic Saint's roars gradually weakened and were finally completely drowned out by the flames; even his bones were burned to ashes by the Ember Flames, leaving only wisps of black ash that drifted in the high sky, intertwined with the currents of extreme cold and heat, until they completely vanished without a trace.
Two moves!
With just two moves, the Flame God had slain the Darkness Magic Saint, one of the three Saint-level Experts of the Demon God Hall!
High in the sky, the battlefield instantly fell into a dead silence.
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor, who was entangled with the Blazing Sun Battle Team, paused, a trace of shock and fury flashing in his blood-colored vertical pupils.
This Flame God!
He was indeed much stronger than he had imagined!
"Go over together and kill him!"
The Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor hesitated for a moment, then decided to change his battle strategy, ordering the five monster kings to attack the Flame God.
One was to stop the Flame God from continuing to kill, and the second was to use the monster kings to exhaust the Flame God's power.
Even if the Law Power was strong, it could not be used indefinitely.
Once Jiang Yuan's magical power was exhausted, it would be his opportunity.
Therefore, the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperorabsolutely could not sit and wait for death.
Otherwise, once the Flame God eliminated his helpers, it would be his turn next.
"Want to leave? Get past us first!"
Xiao Zhan laughed loudly, the holy fire on his blazing sun war hammer surged, and he smashed down with a Blazing Sun Star-Shattering Hammer; the giant flame shockwave forced back the Rock-Armored Giant Rhinoceros King, while the Azure Water Saint Lord's Azure Water Thousand-Fold Shield and the Frost Sword Saint's Ice Seal Slash struck simultaneously, blocking the other monster kings.
The Blazing Sun Battle Team and the Scarlet Scale Blade Saint, six people in total, stood like six great mountains in front of the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
The group cooperated tacitly, instantly re-entangling the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor tightly, not giving him a chance to provide reinforcements.
"Are you seeking death!?"
A look of anger flashed in the eyes of the Myriad Beast Soul Devouring Emperor.
He had retreated again and again, endured again and again, only out of fear of the Flame God's ice-and-fire Law Power; did they really think he was afraid of a mere group of Saints!
As an Emperor, his means were certainly not simple.
Suddenly, a terrifying soul fluctuation surged out, and a phantom that could not be captured by the naked eye suddenly appeared behind the Blazing Sun Battle Teamand the others.
On the other side.
The Dark Earth Battle Saint and the Void Shadow, who was hiding in the void, were also shaken to their core by this scene.
The Dark Earth Battle Saint's earth-elemental magical energy trembled violently, and as he looked at the direction where the Darkness Magic Saint had fallen, his eyes were full of wariness and fear.
He and the Darkness Magic Saint were equal in strength, yet the other party had been slain by the Flame God in one move.
Such combat power had long since far exceeded the ordinary peak Saint-level!
The Void Shadow completely restrained its aura, hiding in the void, trying hard to lower its presence.
The plan to launch a sneak attack was instantly scrapped, and it only dared to spy from the shadows, looking for the Flame God's flaws.
The Flame God raised his hand to disperse the extreme cold aura around him, his gaze sweeping coldly across the direction of the Dark Earth Battle Saint and the Void Shadow.
Crimson-gold flames danced in his pupils, filled with murderous intent.
Having dealt with the Darkness Magic Saint, next would be the remaining two Saints of the Demon God Hall.
Chapter 170: The Death of the Void Shadow
Down below in the valley, federal warriors and students witnessed this scene, and their morale instantly surged to its Peak. Cheers and roars intertwined as they launched a frantic counterattack against the demonic Ferocious Beasts and the low-to-mid-tier Demon God Hall members.
"Holy shit, Jiang Yuan, your Master is way too awesome!"
Zhao Biao excitedly patted 'Jiang Yuan' on the shoulder.
"Did you see that expert? He is the famous Flame God!"
"That's my brother Jiang Yuan's Master!"
At the same time, Zhao Biao proudly bragged to everyone inside the carriage, "He is an existence capable of sealing off an entire city all by himself. How could those damned Demon God Hall experts dare to act so arrogantly in front of the Flame God..."
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but show looks of shock, gazing with envy at Jiang Yuan beside Zhao Biao.
Even the previously proud and aloof Ding Luoling had a trace of complexity and awe in her eyes.
This was respect for an expert.
No wonder Jiang Yuan's strength was so formidable.
Turns out he had such an amazing Master!
As for who the Flame God's true identity was?
They didn't know!
But as long as they knew the Flame God could instantly kill another Darkness Magic Saint, that was already enough!
To them, Saint-level experts who were immensely powerful and high above were no better than pigs and dogs in front of the Flame God!
"Void! Let's join forces! There might be a sliver of a chance of survival!"
"After all, he is only one person, we won't necessarily lose... lose so quickly!"
"As long as we hold out until Lord Beast Emperor deals with the Blazing Sun Battle Team and the others, we will be safe!"
The Dark Earth Battle Saint took a deep breath and shouted toward the Void Shadow at the same time.
The Dark Earth Battle Saint knew very well that facing the Flame God alone meant certain death; only by joining forces with the Void Shadow would there be a sliver of a chance of survival.
"Alright!"
"You entangle him from the front!"
"I will use Void Walking to launch an attack!"
A wave of distorted black mist surged within the Void rift, and a dark shadow quietly emerged. Carrying the sharp sound of tearing through space, the Shadow Blade in its hand suddenly appeared behind the Flame God, attempting to form a pincer attack with the Dark Earth Battle Saint.
A two-on-one Peak Saint-level showdown unfolded once again high in the sky.
"Very well!"
Hearing the response, the Dark Earth Battle Saint forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart as earth-type Magical Energy crazily converged around him. He slammed both hands onto the ground, and countless black earth prisms shot fiercely toward the Flame God, attempting to draw the Flame God's firepower.
Unlike the Darkness Magic Saint, he was a close-combat Professional after all, and his health bar and defense far exceeded those of the Darkness Magic Saint. This was also why he chose a head-on confrontation.
But what he never expected was...
The Void Shadow had no intention of truly cooperating at all. He knew the terrifying strength of the Flame God much better than the Dark Earth Battle Saint did.
Especially the moment the Flame God locked his gaze onto him, just like the previous Darkness Magic Saint, he keenly sensed a fatal threat.
He quietly poked half his body out from the Void rift, casting a fearful glance at the Extinction Flame Dragoncircling to the side, which was still exuding an aura of destruction. The Shadow Power around his body instantly turned chaotic.
Without another word, his figure moved, completely disappearing deep into the Void, without leaving behind even a trace of his aura. He actually chose to avoid the battle and escape directly.
"Want to run now?"
"It's already too late!"
A cold smile curled the corners of the Flame God's mouth, and his voice, carrying a blazing aura, resounded through the high altitude.
His figure moved slightly, and the power of wind elements suddenly surged, light cyan wind patterns appearing beside the scarlet-gold flames around his body.
Phase of Wind!
Void Instant Step!
This was a special effect ability that fused the ultimate speed of wind elements with the Law of Space. The million-level wind element special effect erupted instantly, and light cyan wind blades intertwined with the Void rifts, bringing the entire high altitude into the Flame God's perceptual Domain.
At this moment, he controlled the power of the ultimate wind, and every single move of all things in the surrounding heaven and earth was clearly discernible.
Even a lurker who had fled into the Void couldn't possibly hide within his perception.
You must know that the power of laws controlled by the Flame God was not limited to just flames and freezing.
The Void Shadow could flee into the Void, and Jiang Yuancould also pursue into the Void.
Before his voice fell, the Void Instant Step had already been activated. The Flame God's figure suddenly vanished within the sky-filling waves of fire, completely fusing with the Void. Even the Extinction Flame Dragon temporarily paused in place, awaiting orders.
The earth prisms shot out by the Dark Earth Battle Sainthit nothing. Watching the direction where the Flame Goddisappeared, his heart suddenly sank, and the earth-type Magical Energy around him grew even denser. He vigilantly scanned his surroundings, not daring to even breathe heavily.
He could neither find the Flame God's trace nor sense the Void Shadow's aura, and could only passively defend in place, enduring the invisible oppression.
Within the unreachable rifts of the Void, two figures appeared one after another.
The Void Shadow was attempting to escape by utilizing the turbulent flows of the Void.
Yet the moment he turned around, he saw the Flame Godstanding in the center of the rift. The Shadow Power around his body instantly froze, and his face was filled with extreme horror and disbelief.
"You... how is that possible? You can also control the power of the Void?"
The Void Shadow's voice was trembling.
You must know that although his strength among Saints was not considered outstanding,
his concealment ability and life-saving methods were top-notch.
He had once successfully assassinated a Saint-levelProfessional of the same rank in broad daylight and successfully escaped under the pursuit of multiple Emperor Rank Experts, all relying on his power to control the Void.
No matter how strong someone else's strength was, it was difficult for them to find his existence.
But what he didn't expect was that this Flame God was clearly just a mage, so how could he possess the ability of Void Walking?
"Die!"
The Flame God had no superfluous words, only spitting out a single cold word.
Before his voice fell, brilliant elemental light patterns burst forth around the Flame God. The elemental powers of the wind, ice, and fire systems intertwined and wrapped around each other, forming a fatal killing array.
The light cyan wind elements spread out like chains, tightly binding the surrounding Void, making it so the Void Shadow couldn't even move a fraction.
The light blue freezing power followed closely behind, spreading through the Void to his entire body.
It not only froze his body but simultaneously sealed off the circulation of all Shadow Power within him, rendering him unable to use the ability of Void Stealth anymore.
The Void Shadow's eyes were filled with terror.
At this moment, he finally experienced the despair before the Darkness Magic Saint's death. Desperately trying to break free from the constraints, he only exchanged it for further suppression by the freezing power.
The Flame God's figure flashed, instantly rushing in front of him. His right fist condensed scarlet-gold flames, and millions of times amplified power crazily poured into it. The surface of his fist glowed with dazzling light patterns, and the surrounding Void was slightly collapsed by the oppression of this power!
"Taste my World-Destroying Flame Punch!"
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded within the Void rift, and the scarlet-gold flame light broke through the Void barrier, illuminating the entire high altitude like a shooting star.
In the midair that was originally empty, a figure scorched by flames suddenly plummeted. The Shadow Power around his body completely collapsed, and his clearly visible outline was precisely that lurker of the Void. The moment he hit the ground, he lost his breath, and even his body was burned to ashes by the flames.
Another Saint-level expert of the Demon God Hall had fallen!
