Chapter 931: Killing Thoroughly

Zhan Kong, the pale-faced man, must have been very handsome in his youth. Now with temples streaked with white and a sickly appearance, he was still considered a handsome old man.

He now shed his former decadent air. In the depths of his eyes, a raging fire burned. This was the first time he had displayed such fighting spirit since learning in recent antiquity that Earth had been massacred and destroyed; his long-extinguished battle intent and ancient battle blood surged once more.

At the same time, Zhan Kong harbored immense rage, which he suppressed deep within his heart as he approached the large ship.

He neared the battlefield, merging into the void, awaiting an opportunity for a final strike.

On the field, the battle grew increasingly fierce, silencing everyone in the Underworld Universe. No one could offer help. Heavenly Blade, Lord Lei, and Otherworld Flower were covered in blood, like candles flickering in the wind, their lives on the verge of extinction.

Old Heavenly Dog retreated into the large ship.

However, two demigods brimming with vital energy arrived. Both men, who appeared middle-aged, were well-rested and in their prime, incredibly valiant.

Coupled with Black Crow and the previous leader, there were now a total of four peak Illumination-level cultivators attacking the three from the Underworld Universe. They truly held an overwhelming advantage.

Lord Lei's body was even torn apart once, and only under the difficult protection of Wu Xingkun and Otherworld Flower did his blood manage to coalesce and re-form his physical body.

The Underworld Universe had no God-Kings, so no one could forge Illumination-level death-substitute talismans. Lord Lei, Heavenly Blade, and the others could only recover at great cost to themselves, growing increasingly weaker.

To die like this would be too frustrating. The three of them looked at each other, resolving to kill at least one demigod, no matter what, otherwise they would be too unwilling.

Then, they fought desperately, regardless of the cost, fiercely attacking Old Crow alone. Even as they were attacked, covered in blood, bones exposed, and their lives in peril, they did not retreat.

"Caw..." Old Crow shrieked in rage. Suddenly, all the attacking power of the three masters from the Underworld Universe poured onto it, leaving it shocked, enraged, and also terrified.

It was finally killed once more, and another crack appeared on the death-substitute talisman within its body, using up another resurrection chance.

But during this fierce attack, Lord Lei was severely wounded, almost vertically split in two by a three-pointed, two-edged blade. One of his shoulders detached, and blood splattered across the starry sky.

He showed a slight decline because he was the oldest, his lifespan nearly exhausted, and the energy he could wield was limited. His arrival for this battle had been a long-planned endeavor.

At the same time, Otherworld Flower was also in a dire state, blue leaves flying and many tendrils severed. Heavenly Blade Wu Xingkun was also severely wounded, his chest pierced by a spear that almost tore him apart.

"Kill!" Only this single word echoed between heaven and earth, clanging and deafening. The three threw themselves forward again, disregarding everything, vowing to kill Old Crow.

"You stop them, I can't take it anymore!" Old Crow shrieked, rushing towards the large ship behind, fleeing the battlefield, a chill of fear running through it.

Even with the death-substitute talisman, it was afraid; being repeatedly killed had filled its heart with dread.

"People from the Yang Realm are nothing more than this!" Lord Lei laughed loudly, blood constantly oozing from his thin body, his mouth a bloody red. He was mocking Old Crow.

But the fierce bird did not look back, fleeing towards the large ship, shouting, "When I was in the Primal Chaos Universe, did I kill few Illumination-level masters? Many were beings from your universe!"

It retorted, filled with annoyance.

This was indeed a cruel fact. They had massacred in the Primal Chaos Universe, beheading many Illumination-level cultivators from the Underworld, feeling it was not a difficult task.

It was precisely for this reason that they increasingly felt that a few demigods would be enough to look down on the Underworld and effortlessly sweep away all their orthodoxies.

How could they have known they would encounter such tough opponents? The strongest individuals from the Underworld had emerged, terrifying them to the core. If not for the death-substitute talismans on them, they would have died long ago.

In Old Crow's eyes, this was truly shameful. After all, they came from the Yang Realm, normally cultivating top-tier breathing techniques and being nourished by Yang energy day and night. They should have been superior, able to easily kill masters of the same level.

Now, being thwarted like this, pursued and killed by a few from the Underworld, if this were to be known back in the Yang Realm, what face would they have left?

At the same time, the last two demigods on the large ship moved out, replacing Black Crow and charging forward.

This was incredibly terrifying, bringing despair!

Old Heavenly Dog and Old Crow had both fled to the large ship, but a total of four demigods were now taking their place, and together with the leader, there were five great masters!

"I truly hate this!" Heavenly Blade Wu Xingkun roared. His companion, Kui Niu, who had accompanied him for most of his life, had self-destructed and died, yet he could not avenge it, and now he was destined to die miserably here.

"Heh, people from the Underworld Universe want to stir up trouble," one demigod said with a detached smile. "After the Heavenly Venerables in the Yang Realm made their decision and ordered our descent, the fate of many of you was already sealed!"

"If that's the case, then let's go down in a blaze of glory!" they roared. "Even if we die, let it be glorious. We won't allow your filthy hands to touch our corpses!"

"Self-destruct! Drag them down to die several times with us!"

Otherworld Flower and Lord Lei both roared.

The three strongest experts, the peak Illumination-level masters of the Underworld, moved. Their bodies glowed, and their vital energy tore through the firmament as their essence burned, preparing to self-destruct.

The demigods opposite were horrified, swiftly retreating and dodging immediately.

Even with death-substitute talismans, they did not want to be killed like this even once. Moreover, the destructive storm created by the self-destruction of three such masters would be terrifying, potentially killing them multiple times in succession!

Immense vital energy erupted, and world-shaking energy fluctuations surged forth.

At this moment, countless people across the Underworld Universe cried out, their eyes burning. Seeing these three go to their deaths, everyone felt a sharp pang in their hearts.

"Now!" Heavenly Blade whispered. His entire being thinned, his body transforming into an incredibly sharp blade, its saber energy shocking the world!

Taking advantage of the demigods' retreat, he directly rushed towards the large ship at the edge of the Primal Chaos, moving incredibly fast!

At the same time, Lord Lei also roared, his thin body bleeding and glowing dazzlingly as he carried two large hammers, hurrying towards the large ship.

Furthermore, Otherworld Flower, transformed into a human form, was a tattered blue-robed man covered in wounds, descending upon the magnificent battleship.

On it were Old Heavenly Dog, Black Crow, and the protected Divine Master Huang along with several young people. At this moment, these individuals were horrified!

"No, kill them!" The demigods, startled and enraged, frantically charged towards the large ship.

They realized they had been fooled. The three masters from the Underworld had merely faked their self-destruction, scaring them away, their real target being the people on the large ship.

"Protect Divine Master Huang, surround those three nether spirits, and kill them without mercy!"

A demigod transmitted a mental message, creating a terrifying storm that shook the area. He was truly enraged.

If Divine Master Huang died miserably, none of them would survive either. If they couldn't protect the old weasel, it would be a severe dereliction of duty.

On the large ship, there were also more than twenty Illumination-level masters. Although not peak existences or demigods, they were all very strong and charged forward together.

Relatively speaking, Old Heavenly Dog and Black Crow hesitated slightly, standing at the back. In the end, they merely shielded Divine Master Huang, not personally engaging in combat, because they had a lingering fear in their hearts, afraid of truly being killed by those three seemingly mad individuals.

"Haha... your Grandpa Lei hasn't started his true massacre yet!" Lord Lei scoffed. "Although I've killed a demigod, he came back to life. So I'll just use you all to make up the numbers, get my money's worth before I die!"

With just one blow, his great hammer smashed an Illumination-level master who had blocked him head-on, along with his weapon, into a cloud of blood mist that splattered onto the ship's hull, incredibly domineering.

"Kill!" Two people nearby roared, as a spear and a battle sword thrust forward simultaneously, their dazzling light blinding, and their killing intent boundless.

"Die!" Lord Lei roared. His pair of great hammers blasted out, shattering the spearhead and shaking the battle sword into a dozen pieces. He charged forward, shattering both individuals alive into pieces, and then swung his hammers again, destroying their soul lights.

This was truly too valiant. Back when he traversed the Underworld Universe, he was an unrivaled figure of an era. Living until now, his cultivation was unfathomably deep, recreating his divine might of old.

Nearby, arrows flew. Someone shot an iron arrow, piercing his physical body. At the same time, another person threw a spear, piercing the old man's body, which bled profusely, through his chest.

Previously, Lord Lei had been wounded before, even having his body torn into two pieces, but he had reassembled himself.

But now it was somewhat different. After all, his vital energy was depleted, and he had suffered such severe injuries. His body shook violently, and dull blood sprayed out.

"Kill!" Lord Lei roared, a killing cry erupting from his thin body that shattered the void. He suddenly hurled his great hammers, both flying out.

The person who drew the bow and shot arrows was smashed into a pulp. The other person who threw the spear also had his head shattered into pieces.

The old man's great hammers contained laws that locked onto them, directly destroying their physical bodies.

Boom! Lord Lei roared, bare-handed, his hands clenched into hammers. He directly blasted his way forward, charging past, destroying the soul lights of those two individuals as well!

He had many wounds on his body, with some swords and blades embedded in them, but he was incredibly valiant, charging forward all the way!

At the very front, Divine Master Huang was terrified to his core. Even Old Heavenly Dog and Black Crow felt a chill down their spines.

At this moment, Heavenly Blade Wu Xingkun was also in a frenzy. He transformed into a dazzling long blade, hacking over and reaping several Illumination-level lives with popping sounds. He himself finally staggered and reverted to his original form, unable to maintain his blade-body anymore.

"It's worth it, no losses, what a satisfying kill, haha!" Otherworld Flower laughed loudly, his body covered in blood, fighting bare-handed and killing several people in a row here, covered in the blood of Illumination-level experts.

Lord Lei also laughed loudly: "What 'Yang Realm masters,' what 'needing us to be one realm higher than you to fight,' it's all nonsense! Today we'll kill you until your heads roll and you wet yourselves, how satisfying!"

At this moment, Lord Lei's entire body glowed. His hands turned into fists, and each strike pierced the void, imbued with laws and interwoven with lightning, continuously slaying powerful cultivators. Of course, his own body was also riddled with weapons, a terrifying and bloody sight.

It was hard to imagine why such a thin body could contain such domineering and absolute energy!

"You three nether spirits will die miserably; I will torture you for a hundred years before crushing you!"

The demigods from the rear arrived nearby, some roaring in anger.

They were seething with rage, veins bulging on their foreheads. A single oversight had led to their side suffering heavy losses, with so many Illumination-level masters killed.

This was unforgivable; they were frenzied, fighting desperately.

In this flash of lightning, all the masters crowded onto the large ship, gathering in one spot!

Even though this large ship was incredibly sturdy and inscribed with numerous Yang Realm symbols, it was now showing cracks and on the verge of disintegrating.

Without the protection of a Heavenly Venerable's decree, it was about to be destroyed!

"That's enough. You three, retreat!" At this moment, a voice simultaneously echoed deep within the hearts of Lord Lei, Otherworld Flower, and Heavenly Blade Wu Xingkun, telling them that the time had come, and they could retreat.

Zhan Kong, the pale-faced handsome old man, master of Xi Lin Army Commander Wei Xilin, who claimed to be a sinner from ancient Earth, was now bleeding from the corner of his mouth, exerting all his might to channel energy into the green gourd!

Earlier, he had secretly communicated with the three and agreed on this plan to draw everyone to one spot.

Now, the three had succeeded!

"My life has been a failure, full of regrets," he murmured. "I poured my heart into teaching a disciple, only for him to become a sinner for all ages, a cold-blooded executioner. I have no face to meet the ancestors again, no face to meet my old friends who died beneath the earth. Today I come to atone; my blood, my life, will finally make up for some of that regret!"

His eyes reflected everything from the past, his bygone youth. Back then, he was young and handsome, full of vigor, adventuring through the star sea with friends, drinking heartily, and pursuing the women he admired.

But looking at today! What did he have left? Many of his old friends and acquaintances had died under the butcher's knife of his own disciple!

As soon as Lord Lei, Heavenly Blade, and Otherworld Flower shot into the sky, Zhan Kong made his move, fiercely smashing out the green gourd!

This immature innate gourd was full of cracks, already on the verge of shattering. He poured massive amounts of energy into it, and then violently threw it out, crashing it into the large ship. With a boom, it disintegrated, causing a massive explosion there!

This scene shook the universe, as brilliant light shot directly into the sky, tearing through the darkness!

"Will any enemies survive? I await you!" Wei Xilin's master, the handsome old man, his entire body ablaze, battle blood boiling, waited outside. He had long ceased to wish to live on alone; dying in battle was his heart's desire, and the final destination of his hopes.
