447: Chapter 447 Forbidden Techniques of the Netherworld

"Nether Soul-Devouring Banner!"

The Ghost Girl gasped off the stage, her face deathly pale: "This is his life-bound Magical Artifact!"

"It can devour Souls and spirits, amplifying the power of Death Qi several times over!"

"Young Master Ye, be careful!"

"To be able to force me to use the Soul-Devouring Banner, kid, you have enough to be proud of."

Yin Wujiang's voice came through the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves, carrying icy killing intent: "Now, the game is over."

"Your Soul, your mark—I'll take them!"

He waved the Soul-Devouring Banner, and in an instant, endless ghostly Qi surged out, transforming into ferocious ghostly shadows that let out shrill shrieks, flooding toward Ye Tian like a tidal wave!

Wherever the ghostly Qi passed, even the thunder was devoured!

The range of the Chaos Lightning Domain was drastically compressed!

Ye Tian's pressure surged!

The power of the Death Qi ghostly shadows, bolstered by the Soul-Devouring Banner, was incomparable to before.

His Chaos Lightning Domain only lasted for two breaths before it shattered with a boom!

Countless ghostly shadows shrieked as they lunged, crazily devouring his protective true Qi, vitality, and even his Divine Soul felt waves of stinging pain!

"Pfft!"

Ye Tian barely managed to slash away a few ghostly shadows, but he was struck by even more, spitting out blood. Several wounds oozing with black Qi appeared on his body, and his aura instantly withered.

It's over!

Countless hearts sank.

"Referee! Stop the match quickly!" Elder Qinglan shouted urgently.

The royal retainer responsible for refereeing was also at the Huahai Realm, and seeing this, he was about to rush onto the arena.

However, as soon as he approached the edge of the arena, he was forced to retreat repeatedly by the violent ghostly Qi, his face turning pale, unable to get close!

The aftermath of the two's battle had already exceeded the range he could intervene in!

"Brother Ye!" Xiahou Ba's eyes were splitting with rage.

Qin Pojun clenched his fists.

Shui Qingdie's tears welled up and spilled over.

Li Xuanxiao was off the stage, his hand gripping his sword tightening slightly, his eyes fixed intently on the arena, seemingly evaluating something quickly.

He could feel that Yin Wujiang still had strength in reserve; this Soul-Devouring Banner was likely not his final trump card.

The arena had become a dead zone.

Ye Tian was enveloped by layers of ghostly shadows, his field of vision filled with ferocious ghost faces and dark green Death Qi, his vitality fading rapidly, and his consciousness beginning to blur.

However, in this desperate situation, a burst of Chaos brilliance erupted from Ye Tian's chest, right where the Chaos mark was located!

At the same time, the chaos bead in his Sea of Consciousness spun autonomously, resonating with the Chaos mark!

The aura of the ruins core!

Although faint, its level was extremely high!

The moment this aura appeared, the ghostly Death Qi that was crazily devouring Ye Tian's vitality suddenly stalled!

Although it quickly recovered, the speed of devouring was significantly slowed!

And the invisible devouring connection between Ye Tian and Yin Wujiang was actually severed for an instant by this lingering aura of the ruins core!

It was this very instant!

The light in Ye Tian's previously unfocused eyes suddenly exploded with brilliance!

He did not take the opportunity to retreat and heal; instead, he made a move that shocked everyone.

He actively dispersed most of his protective true Qi, relying only on his Five Elements Treasure Body to withstand the biting of the surrounding ghostly shadows. Instead of retreating, he advanced, condensing the gray light of sword, and lunged at Yin Wujiang!

"Courting death!"

Seeing Ye Tian dare to counter-charge, Yin Wujiang laughed out of extreme anger. He waved the Soul-Devouring Banner, and a dark green ghost claw viciously swiped toward Ye Tian's head!

If this strike landed, Ye Tian would surely die!

However, Ye Tian's seemingly impulsive action had already been calculated in terms of trajectory.

He seized the timing and suddenly dodged to the left!

"Rip!"

The ghost claw viciously grabbed Ye Tian's right shoulder, its five fingers embedding deep into flesh and bone, Death Qi pouring in crazily!

Ye Tian's right shoulder instantly turned black and withered, the pain piercing his heart, but he gritted his teeth. Using this momentum, he brought his left hand's fingers together, and with the Sword Qi he had long prepared, he thrust with all his might toward Yin Wujiang's left underarm!

Yin Wujiang clearly did not expect Ye Tian to be able to counterattack in such a desperate situation!

He hurriedly tried to defend, but he was a half-beat too slow!

"Pfft!"

The Sword Qi pierced into the area below Yin Wujiang's left shoulder, penetrating his black robe and sinking deep into his flesh!

Chaos Power instantly erupted within his wound!

"Ah!"

Yin Wujiang let out a miserable howl, black blood spraying from his left shoulder wound, and the Death Qi churned violently, unable to heal for a moment!

He stumbled backward, his hood brim shaken open, revealing a face as pale as a ghost, covered in strange black markings!

"You... you actually dare to injure me?!"

Yin Wujiang roared, the ghostly green light in his eyes almost erupting, filled with unbelievable rage.

Off the stage, there was dead silence.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden reversal.

Ye Tian, at the Fourth Stage Peak of the Sea Transformation Realm, had actually managed to injure the opponent by trading a heavy injury for an injury, while under the hands of Yin Wujiang, who was at the Sixth Stage of the Sea Transformation Realm and wielding a life-bound Magical Artifact?!

"Beautiful!!"

Xiahou Ba was the first to jump up and roar wildly, dancing around with a head of green grass,

"Brother Ye is awesome! Stab his kidney! Oh wait, no, it's the armpit! That works too! Hahaha!"

Shui Qingdie covered her mouth, weeping with joy.

Elder Qinglan and Elder Xing Tiexin also breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in their eyes was even greater.

Ye Tian's shoulder injury was too severe.

Li Xuanxiao's eyes flickered as he whispered: "So that's it..."

"The aura of the ruins core mark can interfere with Death Qi at critical moments..."

"Trading injury for injury, what courage."

"However..."

On the high platform, the Brocade-Robed Envoy frowned slightly: "He was actually injured..."

"This kid, his battle instinct and ruthlessness are quite good."

"It's a pity, such a good seedling..."

On the arena, Ye Tian's right shoulder was almost destroyed, eroded by Death Qi, the pain unbearable, and his aura had plummeted to the bottom, teetering on the edge.

He used his sword to steady himself, forcing himself to stand firm. He looked coldly at the enraged Yin Wujiang and spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood: "Your Death Qi..."

"...isn't that hard to chew through."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yin Wujiang said the word "good" three times, laughing out of extreme anger, his voice like a night owl: "I originally wanted to spare your life and take you back to the Upper Realm."

"Now..."

"I am going to extract your Soul and refine your spirit, making you suffer eternal torment!"

He bit his tongue tip fiercely, spraying a mouthful of essence blood onto the Nether Soul-Devouring Banner!

The Soul-Devouring Banner suddenly shone with intense blood-red light, and the sound of ghostly wailing shook the heavens and earth!

He waved the long banner crazily, the Death Qi around him mixing with his essence blood, transforming into runes that merged into the void.

"With my essence blood, I summon the Souls of the Nine Netherworlds! Devour Souls and seize spirits, ten thousand ghosts dominate the heavens!"

Yin Wujiang roared hoarsely, his entire face shriveled due to the loss of essence blood, but the aura of that Soul-Devouring Banner was terrifying to the extreme!

On the arena, the void was torn open, and black ghostly shadows emitting monstrous resentment surged out, shrieking as they instantly engulfed the entire arena and Ye Tian's figure!

Forbidden Technique of the Nether Abyss, Ten Thousand Souls Devouring the Heavens!

"Junior Brother Ye!!!"

"Ye Tian!"

There were screams from off the stage.

That terrifying ghost tide made people's Divine Souls tremble even from far away, unable to muster the slightest will to resist.

Was there any vitality left for Ye Tian, who had been completely engulfed?

Within the ghost tide, Ye Tian only felt boundless darkness enveloping him, countless ghostly shadows tearing at his body, true Qi, and even his Soul.

His consciousness was rapidly sinking.

However, right under this life-or-death pressure, the Bottleneck of the Fifth Stage of the Sea Transformation Realm, which had long since loosened within him, finally...

...shattered with a boom!
