585: Ten Directions Soul-Devouring Demon Array

Looking at his Void Refining opponent who had instantly assumed a maximum defensive posture as if facing a great enemy,

Yao Delong did not attack immediately; instead, he let out a playful, mocking chuckle:

"Heh... interesting."

He kept his hands casually behind his back, his profound star manifestation dao robe fluttering without any wind.

His gaze swept across the battle-ready Old Black Mu and the Black Fiend Guards as if watching a monkey show, his voice carrying undisguised mockery:

"What's the matter? Are you people from the Nine Nether Sect all reincarnated rats?

Upon seeing this seat, you're all so scared that you're like mice meeting a cat, retreating faster than rabbits?

Where is that Aura from just now, the one shouting about tearing people alive? Was it eaten by a dog?"

This naked humiliation was like a whip lashing across Old Black Mu's face!

His face instantly flushed like pig liver! As a Void Refining Great Expert, when had he ever been mocked so openly to his face?

Especially when the opponent was just a junior at the Late Stage Soul Transformation!

"Arrogant junior! You seek death!!"

Old Black Mu was so angry that Evil Qi surged around him, and his blood-red eyes almost spat fire!

He instinctively wanted to crush the space fixing talisman in his sleeve! But in the next second, his reason forcibly suppressed his rage!

No!

Although the opponent was strange, he was only at the Late Stage Soul Transformation after all!

With ten Black Fiend Guards in Formation, even if the opponent could truly rival a Void Refining Early Stage, he was absolutely certain he could take him down!

If he used the precious space fixing talisman to summon his Senior Brother before even testing the waters,

how could he, Old Black Mu, ever hold his head high in the Law Enforcement Hall or the Nine Nether Sect again?

Senior Brother Duan would surely look down on him! He couldn't afford to lose this face!

Old Black Mu forcibly suppressed the urge to crush the Talisman, his massive lava-like eyes locking onto Yao Delong,

his rolling fiendish voice booming out like muffled thunder:

"Brat! State your name! I, Old Black Mu, do not kill nameless nobodies!

How dare you insult my Nine Nether Sect like this! Today, I will certainly extract your Soul and refine your spirit, making you suffer the pain of ten thousand ghosts devouring your heart!"

Yao Delong looked at the other's blustering yet fearful appearance, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth deepened.

He straightened his back, and a majestic Aura that looked down upon the world suddenly erupted. His voice was not high,

but it was like the Nine Heavens Dragon's roar, clearly echoing in the ears of every Cultivator who had gathered and was watching the battle with bated breath:

"I do not change my name in action, nor my surname when sitting!"

"Yin Yang Sect, True Disciple—"

"Yao! De! Long!"

Boom!!!!!

These three words were like three invisible heavy hammers, slamming hard against Old Black Mu's mind!

On that ferocious face, all the anger, arrogance, and Evil Qi instantly froze!

Following that was an extreme horror and disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost!

"Yao... Yao Delong?!!"

"You are that... Yao Delong who... killed our Sect's Prodigy, Blood Net?!!"

Old Black Mu screamed out, his voice changing pitch!

He felt a chill rush from his tailbone straight to the crown of his head, making his scalp tingle!

Yao Delong!

That name was like a thunderclap!

Within the Nine Nether Sect, especially in Vice Sect Master Ye Wushang's faction, this name had long been carved at the very top of the must-kill list!

The bounty on him was high enough to drive any Cultivator below the Void Refining Realm crazy—a supreme grade heavenly artifact!

Plus the qualification to Cultivate in the Sect's Forbidden Ground, the Blood Fiend Cave, for a year!

Old Black Mu's heart was thumping wildly, and his blood was boiling in his veins!

Greed, fear, ecstasy, wariness... various emotions intertwined and gnawed at his reason like venomous snakes!

Greed! A supreme grade heavenly artifact!

A year of bitter Cultivation in the Blood Fiend Cave was enough for him to charge toward the Void Refining Early Stage Peak or even touch the threshold of the Middle Stage!

The temptation was too great!

Fear! Although the opponent's Realm was only Late Stage Soul Transformation, that strange teleportation just now,

that calm and composed attitude when facing a Void Refining powerhouse and the Black Fiend Formation,

and the precedent of Blood Net being tortured and killed... all proved this person's horror!

This was definitely a hard bone that could break one's teeth!

Ecstasy! If he could personally capture him... that immense merit and reward... Old Black Mu's lava-red eyes stared intently at Yao Delong, like a hungry wolf staring at a piece of fatty meat with thorns!

The malevolent Evil Qi that had accumulated in his body for a hundred years completely boiled over!

"Hahaha! Good! What a Yao Delong! There is a path to Heaven but you won't take it, and you barge into Hell when there is no door!"

Old Black Mu burst into wild laughter, his voice filled with violence and greed,

"Today, I'm destined to achieve this monumental merit! Your head, I'll take it with pleasure!

Black Fiend Guards, hear my command! Form the 'Ten Directions Soul-Devouring Demonic Fiend Formation'! Crush him for me!"

Boom!

The demonic light on the ten Black Fiend Guards suddenly surged! The massive demonic Formation beneath their feet instantly turned pitch black!

Countless hideous phantom ghosts crawled out of the Formation with roars, and the Evil Qi, so thick it wouldn't disperse, was like a viscous swamp,

carrying a terrifying power that tore at the Soul and dissolved spiritual energy, as it frantically swept toward the black-robed figure in the center of the Formation!

"God Slaying Nirvana Domain!"

Yao Delong's cold, low shout was like a decree from the Nine Heavens!

In his Sea of Consciousness, that "Heart Sword" that had been tempered with endless slaughter and the will of Nirvana erupted with an unprecedented, brilliant divine light!

.Buzz—!!!

An invisible and intangible Domain power, yet one that contained the terrifying will to slaughter gods and slay Souls,

instantly merged perfectly with the second form of the Lesser Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, "God Slaying"! It erupted with a bang!

This was no longer a simple Sword Qi Domain, but an ultimate power that carried the life-extinguishing force of the Nirvana Soul Domain,

combined with the overbearing characteristic of the God Slaying Sword Qi that ignored defenses to strike directly at the Origin!

Like an invisible and colorless tide of death, or billions of tempered Soul-slaying spears,

silent and soundless, yet carrying an absolute killing intent that annihilated all Primordial Spirit life force,

it ruthlessly crushed toward the "Ten Directions Soul-Devouring Demonic Fiend Formation" that was churning with ghosts and concentrated, viscous Evil Qi!

"Not good! It's a Divine Soul execution! Black Fiend Guards! Fiendish Soul Solidification!"

Old Black Mu's lava-like pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints!

A terrifying chill from the depths of his Soul made him let out a hoarse roar!

The well-trained Black Fiend Guards also reacted extremely quickly!

The demonic Formation instantly switched from an extreme offensive state to defensive!

The thick black Evil Qi frantically contracted inward, attempting to form layers of barriers within the Formation to isolate the Divine Soul!

But!

It was useless! Completely useless!

That God Slaying Nirvana power ignored the obstruction of energy and the defense of matter,

like a phantom shadow of death or sunlight piercing through glass, it passed through that seemingly thick and heavy Formation shield without any hindrance!

It was as if the demonic fiend shield, which was sufficient to withstand a full-strength strike from a Void Refinement Mid-stage, was just a thin layer of illusion!

"Argh—!"

"Pfft!"

"My Nascent Soul... No—!"

The first to bear the brunt were the eight Black Fiend Guards at the Nascent Soul Realm!

The God Slaying Nirvana power swept across their bodies without leaving any external injuries!

But their Seas of Consciousness were as if they had been pierced and stirred by billions of red-hot steel needles!

The invisible Sword Qi tore at their Divine Soul Origins, and the will of Nirvana eroded their Soul cores!

The screams stopped abruptly! Three of the Black Fiend Guards with the lowest cultivation, only at the Late Nascent Soul Stage,

had their eyes instantly lose all luster as grayish-white smoke seeped from their seven orifices. Their heads slumped,

and their bodies collapsed like puppets with their strings cut! Their Nascent Souls were completely annihilated in an instant!

The other five Black Fiend Guards at Nascent Soul Perfection also spat out blood wildly, with tiny Soul fragments mixed in the blood!

They clutched their heads and wailed in agony, their Auras instantly withering to the extreme, like candles in the wind, no longer able to maintain the operation of the Formation!

The light of the entire Ten Directions Soul-Devouring Demonic Fiend Formation dimmed sharply, and countless hideous phantom ghosts let out unwilling wails as they collapsed and dissipated!

The Formation was on the verge of collapse!
