316: Haoduo comes out of seclusion

"Fusing over a hundred million Blood God Spawn... to possess such might!" Xiao Zhuo's eyes sharpened abruptly. Not only did he not retreat, but the Battle Intent around him surged like a raging inferno! Having just advanced to the Demonic Lord realm, he precisely needed such a powerful enemy to hone his edge!

"Good timing!" With a low roar, Xiao Zhuo's figure transformed into a streak of lightning tearing through the Void Realm, boldly Yingying that ten-thousand-foot blood shadow! The Divine-Grade jade blood saber instantly appeared in his hand, its blade erupting with lightning, green and red Qi coiling around it like Dragons! But he did not rush to strike. Instead, he formed hand seals, operating the Zizai Tian Shu (Freedom Heaven Art) with full power!

"Thunder Prison: Myriad Extremes!"

Boom—!

The sky within a thousand miles was suddenly swallowed by endless thunderclouds!

Crimson gold, purple lightning, incandescent white, profound black... five-colored Divine Thunder intertwined and surged, instantly forming a thunderous purgatory that covered the heavens and earth!

A terrifying pressure permeated the air, actually causing the blood-colored giant's forward momentum to pause!

Xiao Zhuo stood at the core of the Thunder Prison, like a god wielding heavenly punishment.

With a thought, thunder spears within the prison stood like mountain Peaks, thunder wheels tore through the sky, and thunder beasts roared and galloped... a destructive torrent instantly formed, pouring down towards the blood-colored giant!

Sizzle! Boom! Bang—!

The five-colored Divine Thunder struck down fiercely! Each impact blasted open large patches of foul-smelling, putrid blood, emitting ear-piercing corrosive and explosive sounds!

The blood giant let out a silent, furious roar, its mountain-like blood fists, carrying a Bloodshed of bloody wind and rain, violently tore through space and smashed towards Xiao Zhuo at the center of the Thunder Prison!

Xiao Zhuo's figure was like a ghost, teleporting and weaving through the Thunder Prison.

Spatial shifts narrowly avoided heavy punches, and subtle changes in the flow of time always kept him one step ahead of his enemy!

His hands flew like phantoms, and the form of the Thunder Prison changed endlessly with them:

At times, it condensed into a colossal thunderous greatsword that spanned heaven and earth, slashing down to leave terrifying, bone-deep gashes on the giant's torso.

At times, it transformed into a thunderous net that blotted out the sky, temporarily binding it, as thousands of thunder snakes burrowed into its body to rampage wildly.

And at other times, it scattered into billions of thunderous needle-rain, precisely shooting at its joints, eyes, and other energy nodes... Xiao Zhuo demonstrated the Zizai Tian Shu (Freedom Heaven Art)'s thunder Divine Ability to the Transcendent stage, empowered by the strength of the four Great Dao!

The Thunder Prison was both a Domain and an endless armory, changing at will, endlessly regenerating!

However! This giant, formed by the Fusion of over a hundred million Blood God Spawn, possessed astonishingly tenacious vitality!

Amidst the surging foul blood, a continuous stream of Blood God Spawn flowed into its body, and the wounds torn by the lightning healed at a visible speed!

Its power was even more irresistible; every swing of its fist or kick caused the Thunder Prison to shake and space to crack inch by inch!

The pure destructive power and the characteristics of defilement and corrosion forced Xiao Zhuo to be on high alert!

The roar of thunder and the howl of blood waves became the only symphony in the heavens and earth.

Xiao Zhuo's figure continuously flickered and clashed amidst the lightning and blood shadows. The Thunder Prison also moved with his figure, and every confrontation caused the cosmos to lose its color!

After half an hour of fierce battle! The blood-colored giant was whittled down to less than six thousand feet.

A sharp glint burst forth from Xiao Zhuo's eyes!

The jade blood saber in his hand hummed and trembled. Above the blade, the illusory figures of the four Great Dao—Space, Time, Soul, and Thunder—suddenly appeared!

Though seemingly weak, the combined power of their superposition instantly ripped through the ancient Void Realm!

"Primal Beginning: One Saber!"

A chaotic saber light, condensing all of Xiao Zhuo's power and blending the Origin of the four Great Dao, suddenly ignited from the core of the Thunder Prison!

It ignored the barriers of space and time, instantly sweeping past the blood-colored giant's enormous body!

Buzz—!!!

Time seemed to freeze for an instant.

The giant stood rigid on the spot. Immediately, countless saber auras, imbued with the power of Chaos annihilation, erupted from within its body!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

Like the collapse of Mount Buzhou! The thousands-of-feet-tall blood body disintegrated with a crash!

Foul blood poured down like a breached celestial river, transforming the ground below into a vast, foul-smelling sea of blood!

The terrifying existence, formed by the condensation of over a hundred million Blood God Spawn, was finally disintegrated and completely purified by Xiao Zhuo's ultimate saber strike, which combined the four Dao and was empowered by thunderous purification!

Xiao Zhuo let out a long breath, standing amidst the remaining lightning. The lightning on the jade blood saber flickered erratically.

Although this battle consumed a vast amount of energy, the zizai world within his body was frantically connecting with the world sea, drawing in the power of the Great Dao, and his losses were rapidly recovering!

However, the faint smile that had just appeared on his lips had not yet spread when a terrifying fluctuation from the direction of the abyss caused his pupils to suddenly contract like needles!

Within the abyss, blood waves surged to the sky!

One after another, blood-colored giants, also ten thousand feet tall and with an aura even more solid and terrifying than before, were roaring as they crawled out!

One, two, ten... in the blink of an eye, there were over a hundred blood-colored behemoths, exuding the terrifying fluctuations of a Devil King at the Early Stage, like a world-ending blood-colored torrent, crushing through the sea of blood and pressing towards Nuna City and all the other cities outside the abyss!

The monstrous Evil Qi connected into a single mass, dyeing the sky a desperate dark red!

Countless defensive barriers swayed violently under the Devil King-level pressure, emitting groans of being overwhelmed!

"A hundred Devil King-level blood giants?!" Xiao Zhuo's heart trembled violently!

Killing one had already required his full strength; now he faced a hundred?

One must know that although these blood giants were massive and cumbersome, and their movements were not swift, their strength, defense, and health bars likely surpassed those of an ordinary Devil King at the Early Stage.

Even though he wielded four Great Dao and his combat power far exceeded his peers, not fearing a Devil King at the Early Stage in a one-on-one fight, he could not possibly deal with so many blood giants!

"I must delay them!" A fierce glint flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes!

Hao Duo was about to arrive. If this wave of impact could not be stopped, the front-line major cities would surely be completely annihilated!

His figure once again transformed into lightning tearing through the blood curtain, actively pouncing towards the two blood giants closest to him!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thunder Prison, which had just faded, reappeared, and saber light crisscrossed!

Xiao Zhuo pushed his movement techniques and skills to their Peak—spatial folding and jumping to evade, chaotic time flow to interfere, Soul impact to shake their minds, and thunder power primarily for killing and attacking!

Fighting two at once, with the superimposed power of the four Great Dao erupting, he actually managed to suppress the two Devil King Early Stage blood giants, causing them to roar repeatedly!

Every collision between lightning and blood fists caused large areas of space to collapse!

However, it was only suppression!

These two giants had astonishing defenses, abnormally strong recovery, and a strange connection between them, coordinating seamlessly.

Xiao Zhuo fought with all his might, his saber light leaving bone-deep wounds on their bodies, but he found it difficult to completely destroy them in a short time!

He was deeply entangled in a quagmire of combat, unable to spare a Clone!

Meanwhile, the other blood giants, like moving blood-colored mountains, charged towards the cities outside the abyss with destructive roars!

The city's great defensive arrays, under the impact of Devil King-level power, were like fragile Glass, filled with cracks amidst their mournful cries!

The Corpse Clan powerhouses stationed in the city frantically gave orders, and Corpse Soldiers formed arrays to defend to the death, but in the face of absolute power, their resistance seemed so pale and weak!

The entire Blood Prison blockade was in peril!

Just at this critical moment—

The entire Blood Prison battlefield seemed to have been paused by an invisible giant hand!

Above the sky, the dark red curtain of heaven, permeated with Evil Qi, unexpectedly split open with a colossal, sky-spanning, pitch-black crack!

An indescribable, utterly pure aura of annihilation, like a Chaos Vicious Beast that had slept for eons suddenly awakening, emanated from that crack!

The aura was so strong that it instantly overshadowed the monstrous Evil Qi jointly released by the hundred Devil King blood giants!

All the roaring and rampaging blood giants suddenly froze!

In the depths of their hollow blood-colored eyes, an instinctive, deepest fear, originating from the Origin of life, actually emerged!

The next moment, a hand covered in dark golden armor, inscribed with ancient battle scars, slowly extended from the pitch-black crack.

This hand was of ordinary size, yet it seemed to contain the immense power to split open Chaos and crush galaxies!

It ignored the boundaries of space and time, and with a gentle downward press, it targeted the dozens of blood-colored giants still charging towards the cities below.

There was no earth-shattering roar.

Only a "hiss" that seemed to erase even "existence" itself, causing one's Divine Soul to freeze.

Centered on where the hand pressed down, a region of absolute darkness that devoured all light, sound, energy, and matter silently spread out!

Like thick ink dripping into clear water, everything in its path returned to the Void Realm!

Dozens of ten-thousand-foot blood giants, along with the monstrous blood waves they stirred up, were touched by the edge of that darkness. The moment they were swallowed by the darkness, they were completely erased from the canvas, instantly disappearing without a trace!

There was no explosion, no wreckage, not even a speck of dust or a drop of foul blood was left behind!

It was as if they, along with that space-time, had never existed!

One palm!

Just one palm! Lightly and casually, yet like brushing away dust, it instantly wiped out dozens of world-ending monsters comparable to a Devil King at the Early Stage!

The lingering destructive aura dissipated, and the darkness receded, but the crack spanning heaven and earth remained deep and dark.

A figure, not particularly burly or tall yet as majestic as an ancient Divine Mountain, clad in ancient demonic armor inscribed with countless traces of conquest, with an aura of annihilation that made all Dao retreat and all worlds fall silent, stepped out from the crack and descended upon the Peak of the Blood Prison battlefield.

His gaze, like a thousand-year-old cold abyss, swept over the remaining trembling blood giants below. His low voice, imbued with supreme majesty, resonated throughout every corner of the Blood Prison:

"Old Ghost Blood Demon, now that This Venerable has arrived, your tricks... it's time for them to end."

Great Annihilation Demon Venerable, Hao Duo, had personally arrived!
