246: Bloody counterattack, sword slays evil spirits

Inside the Guixu Divine Palace, the Law collapsed, and the space was like boiling water.

Shen Yuanmo's figure transformed into a blurry, Chaos-colored stream of light, speeding through countless lethal spatial cracks and turbulent energy flows.

Behind him, seven world-destroying auras locked onto him tightly, like seven peerless Vicious Beasts awakening from the primordial era, pursuing relentlessly.

In particular, the Imperial Uncle of Great Qian, Ji Changkong, and that Half-step Void Return, Old Monster Cang Xuan, were so fast that they nearly caught up to him several times.

This forced Shen Yuanmo to expend massive amounts of mental energy and Qi, using the Delusion-Breaking Dharma Eye to forcibly pass through some extremely dangerous spatial faults, only just managing to shake them off by a short distance.

"Puff!"

Another wisp of invisible Law aftermath brushed against him.

Shen Yuanmo's body trembled violently in mid-air, as if struck by an invisible mountain, his internal organs on the verge of rupturing.

He could no longer suppress his surging blood and Qi.

A large mouthful of blood, mixed with dim golden threads, sprayed out uncontrollably.

He deliberately made his breathing ragged, and every step of his escape light carried an unmaskable stagger, as if he would collapse from exhaustion at any moment.

The radiant great five elements destruction glazed armor on Shen Yuanmo's body dimmed noticeably, its runes flickering, appearing as if its spirituality had been greatly damaged.

His entire aura decayed rapidly, becoming extremely weak, as if in the next instant he would fall from that temporarily elevated Soul Transformation Realm and revert back to that Half-step Nascent Soul.

This scene fell precisely into the Divine Sense perception of the seven people chasing him from behind.

"Hehehe... Junior, your Qi is about to run out, right?"

A cold, bone-chilling laughter, like a viper flicking its tongue, suddenly exploded less than a thousand zhang behind Shen Yuanmo!

It was the Master of the Evil Nether Hall!

It did not know when it had unleashed some strange secret technique, its speed suddenly increasing, instantly surpassing True Monarch Fu Hai and the others, closing the distance to Shen Yuanmo to less than a thousand zhang!

For a Deity Transformation Stage Mighty One, this distance was already within the kill range!

"The heart of chaos origin is mine!"

Under the black robe, the pair of ghastly green pupils of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall no longer held greed, but a near-maniacal, burning possessiveness!

The heart of chaos origin!

If it could obtain it, let alone a Breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Soul Transformation, even that legendary Void Return Realm was not without hope!

The Master of the Evil Nether Hall could see it!

Although this junior had strange methods, it was ultimately only at the Half-step Nascent Soul cultivation level; all of its Divine Might stemmed from the support of that Dao Artifact armor!

The repeated chasing and the shockwaves from the attacks had likely long since drained its Qi completely.

At this moment, it was at its weakest and most vulnerable, the perfect time for it to harvest the fruit!

"Hand over the heart of Chaos, and this seat will bestow upon you eternal glory!"

The voice of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall was sharp and distorted, filled with bewitching magic.

"This seat will refine your Divine Soul into the number one soul slave under this seat's command, and together we will ascend to the peak, enjoying the worship of ten thousand immortals!"

Before the words faded, its wide black robe was already moving without wind, billowing like a sail!

Whoosh—!

Billions of ghastly green soul flames surged out from its sleeves, instantly dyeing this shattered space into a nether ghost realm.

These soul flames were not ordinary fires, but had been refined over thousands of years using the complete souls of countless living beings through secret arts; each one contained terrifying power capable of polluting a Nascent Soul and cursing a Divine Soul to death!

The billions of soul flames shrieked, intertwining in the air into chains as thick as mountain ranges, emitting a "clattering" sound that tore at the Divine Soul, completely sealing off all of Shen Yuanmo's paths, both in the sky and on the ground!

It wanted to capture Shen Yuanmo alive!

It wanted to turn this perfect dao body and that heart of chaos origin into its own possessions!

However.

Just as the soul-cursing chains were about to touch Shen Yuanmo's body.

That green-robed figure, who had been fleeing in a sorry state and seemed about to collapse from exhaustion at any moment, stopped abruptly and turned around without warning.

On that face, pale from blood loss, there was not a trace of fear, not a hint of despair.

Replacing it was a coldness to the extreme, a mockery as if looking at a dead person.

"I have finished reading your Dao."

Shen Yuanmo's voice was calm, yet it struck the heart of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall like an invisible heavy hammer.

"Soul Dao? Heh..."

Shen Yuanmo shook his head gently, his eyes full of contempt.

"Devouring, enslaving, defiling... what you follow is nothing more than the lowest, crudest, and most plagiarized thief's Dao within the Soul Dao!"

"What?!"

The Master of the Evil Nether Hall was stunned for a moment, then overwhelmed by a huge, unprecedented sense of humiliation, flying into a rage!

"Brat! Death is at your doorstep, yet you dare to speak wildly! Die for this seat!"

It channeled its Qi, and the billions of soul flame chains sped up even more, on the verge of completely submerging Shen Yuanmo!

It was at this moment that Shen Yuanmo opened his mouth.

He did not chant any incantations, nor did he activate any Divine Ability.

He simply exhaled a breath gently towards the front.

Clang—!

A sword sound.

A sword sound, high-pitched to the extreme, clear to the extreme, as if it could sever the long river of time and make the stars of eternity tremble, resounded through the clouds from his mouth!

【great evolution immortal slaying sword】!

That natal Dao Artifact that had been silent within his body transformed into a stream of light and flew out!

This time, the sword body was no longer the grey color representing endings and stillness!

Replacing it was a flowing, dazzling five-colored divine light!

The sharpness of Metal!

The growth of Wood!

The nourishment of Water!

The burning of Fire!

The heaviness of Earth!

The five most original creation powers achieved an incredible, perfect balance on the sword body, emitting a vigorous and vast life aura that was out of place in this dead, collapsing Guixu space!

This was a qualitative transformation he had instantly completed for the Great Five Elements Glazed Art he practiced, after obtaining the heart of chaos origin and using Insight into Origin and Perfect Deduction to analyze its core creation Law!

Five Elements cycle, reversing death into life!

This was a Divine Ability Shen Yuanmo had specifically deduced to counter all evil, death, and filthy Soul Dao!

Hum—!!!

The great evolution immortal slaying sword, flowing with five-colored divine light, emitted a joyful hum in mid-air!

It did not slash out any earth-shattering Sword Qi; it just hung quietly there, but the five-colored divine light emitted from it was like a brilliant sun appearing out of thin air, instantly illuminating this dim, shattered space!

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The billions of ghastly green soul flame chains that came covering the sky and earth, the moment they touched this five-colored divine light, were like snow meeting a scorching sun!

They emitted shrill, inhuman screams, and the endless resentment and filth attached to them were rapidly purified and disintegrated!

Just one breath!

The billions of soul flames, capable of cursing a Soul Transformation Cultivator to death, were completely evaporated and dissipated into nothingness!

"No! This is impossible! What is this power?!"

The cruel grin on the face of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall froze completely, replaced by a shock and fear as if it had seen a ghost or god!

The Nether Dao it was proud of, which had run rampant for thousands of years, was so humble and so vulnerable in front of this Divine Ability that Shen Yuanmo had specifically deduced for the Master of the Evil Nether Hall!

That was an absolute suppression from the Dao!

Its Dao did not even have the qualification to struggle in front of this power!

Just as the Master of the Evil Nether Hall lost its composure and its Dao Heart was overwhelmed by fear.

Shen Yuanmo joined his fingers into a sword shape, and across a thousand zhang of void, pointed gently at the Master of the Evil Nether Hall, who was already Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

"Slay."

The word fell, and the world was silent.

The great evolution immortal slaying sword suspended in the air transformed into a five-colored rainbow piercing the sky and earth, ignoring the distance of time and space, and descended instantly!

All the ghost curtains and bone shields the Master of the Evil Nether Hall had hastily sacrificed, those defenses capable of blocking a full-strength blow from a Cultivator of the same rank, were worse than thin ice in front of this five-colored rainbow; they collapsed upon contact!

The sword light pierced directly through its Physical Body.

It slashed onto the soul transformation dao fruit of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall, which was condensed from billions of resentful souls and ominous auras!

"Ah—!!!"

A shrill, inhuman scream, filled with endless pain and absolute fear, erupted from the mouth of the Master of the Evil Nether Hall!

It felt its soul transformation dao fruit, which it had nurtured for thousands of years and had long since merged with itself, being purified and erased under the slash of that sword light!

Its cultivation, its Dao practice, everything about it, vanished into thin air at this moment!

In the distance, Ji Changkong, Old Monster Cang Xuan, and the others, who were chasing rapidly, also saw this scene they would never forget.

In their pupils, which had suddenly constricted due to extreme shock.

The notorious, craftily unpredictable Master of the Evil Nether Hall, who even they found troublesome, was actually dissolving inch by inch, silently, along with its powerful Spirit Transformation Late Stage Physical Body, within that brilliant five-colored divine light!

Its Physical Body, its bones, its Dao robe, every trace of its existence began to dissolve and decompose silently, inch by inch!

Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!

No Dao marks remained!

The first Deity Transformation Stage Mighty One at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Late Stage to fall!

Had appeared!
