377: Chapter 377 Demise of the Venerable

Boom!

The moment Earth Venerable's thought of destruction arose, this Universe naturally produced a reaction.

The first to bear the brunt was the frantic leaking of Spiritual Qi. At this moment, Wuliang Heaven was like a punctured giant balloon, with the Spiritual Qi within the celestial domain pouring out wildly toward the outside world.

"Words become Law!"

Boundless Great Venerable and the others' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this.

Although Wuliang Heaven was vast and its Spiritual Qi extremely dense, it absolutely could not withstand such a continuous outflow. If not stopped, it would eventually turn into a dead star without a single trace of life!

"Is this the strength of the Eerie Earth Venerable?!" Everyone was horrified.

"Earth Venerable is even stronger than he was long ago!" an Immortal Emperor said with a grim expression.

According to ancient records, Earth Venerable did not have such an ability. To make the Spiritual Qi of a celestial domain where an Immortal Emperor resided leak uncontrollably with just a single sentence was terrifying!

Boundless Great Venerable, Giant Rock Great Venerable, Storm Great Venerable, and Blazing Bright Great Venerable looked at each other, all seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes.

This kind of power was definitely not something they could contend with.

"He's coming over..." Blazing Bright Great Venerable said in a low voice, his gaze fixed intently on the distant Earth Venerable.

Despite being separated by hundreds of millions of astral miles, for an existence like Earth Venerable, spatial distance was not an issue at all. With a single thought, he could cross ten thousand stars to arrive.

Boundless Great Venerable and the others all turned their gazes toward Ai Li nearby, a final glimmer of hope flickering deep within their eyes.

If there was anyone left who could turn the tide, it was only Ai Li, who had awakened her Heaven-Defying Divine Power.

Zheng!

In the next moment, a vast power descended from the sky, and an indescribable, massive pressure instantly enveloped the entire Wuliang Heaven.

Within the celestial domain, countless living beings looked up.

Then, they saw with horror that Earth Venerable, who was hundreds of millions of astral miles away just a moment ago, had already descended outside the celestial domain at some unknown time. An indifferent face was looking down upon all living things.

Under the gaze of those cold, dark pupils that contained not a shred of pity, the countless beings of the celestial domain trembled, and even their Souls showed signs of dissipating.

Outside the celestial domain, Earth Venerable leaned on his Snake-Headed Staff, looking down at the five Immortal Emperors.

"Let us begin with the five of you."

As his voice fell, Earth Venerable lightly tapped the Snake-Headed Staff in his hand downward three times. Instantly, the spatial barrier set up by the five Immortal Emperors melted away like lingering snow meeting the sun.

Watching this scene, the pupils of Boundless Great Venerable, Giant Rock Great Venerable, Storm Great Venerable, and Blazing Bright Great Venerable trembled, their majestic faces becoming extremely solemn.

After a moment, Ai Li took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, prepare to face the tribulation!"

The Immortal Emperors all nodded.

Boom!

The five Immortal Emperors erupted simultaneously, their Immortal Emperor radiance illuminating the boundless Void Realm, lighting up eternity, and releasing an incomparably astonishing brilliance.

But on the opposite side, behind Earth Venerable, twelve streaks of immortal divine light appeared that were not at all inferior, enveloping the heavens and earth and suppressing the myriad worlds.

Eleven of them were the other eleven Eerie Venerable Lords besides Earth Venerable, and the twelfth was Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable, who had joined the eerie camp by offering the heavenly god tree as a token of surrender.

"Ten Thousand Wood, you traitor!"

Giant Rock Great Venerable and the others looked at Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable, their eyes filled with fury.

Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable's eyelids lowered slightly, completely ignoring the anger of the Immortal Emperors. He merely cast a faint glance at Boundless Great Venerable, a profound meaning hidden deep in his eyes.

"Leave this new Dragon God to this seat. I need to extract the whereabouts of the other person from the Ancestor's Prophecy from her mouth," Earth Venerable spoke, naming Ai Li and intending to capture her alive.

The other Venerable Lords nodded. Although Nirvana Venerable Lord and the others had previously seen Lin Yang outside Lingxiao Heaven and suspected he was the person in the Ancestor's Prophecy, the strength Lin Yang displayed was severely inconsistent with the hero possessing world-saving power from the prophecy.

Therefore, the Venerable Lords believed that the other person had likely not appeared yet and needed to find out from Ai Li.

Chi!

Immortal Emperor light beams boiled, immortal auras surged, and world-shaking Divine Abilities shattered the heavens and earth, directly causing hundreds of millions of stars to be extinguished. As soon as the battle began, it revealed an incomparably terrifying sight.

But it was clearly visible that the Immortal Emperors of the Nine Heavens were being suppressed. The Immortal Emperor beams could not break through the darkness and were constantly shrinking.

This was not surprising; after all, only five Immortal Emperor combatants remained in the Nine Heavens, whereas on the eerie side, existences of this level were twice as many!

Among them, there was also a super powerhouse like Earth Venerable.

Defeat and annihilation were almost just a matter of time!

"Rumble!"

Just then, a sudden change occurred. A green rainbow erupted behind Earth Venerable, like a sharp sword piercing straight toward his vital point.

"Earth Venerable, give me your life!" Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable roared.

"Ten Thousand Wood!?"

Everyone was shocked. They never expected that Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable, who had already defected, would turn against them again and strike at Earth Venerable so boldly.

The timing of this strike was perfectly calculated, precisely when Earth Venerable and the other Eerie Venerable Lords were distracted by the Nine Heavens' Immortal Emperors. No one was at all on guard against Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable behind them.

Sizzle—

However, facing Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable's surprise attack, Earth Venerable's expression remained unchanged. He swung the Snake-Headed Staff in his hand toward his back. Instantly, the heavens collapsed and the earth split as the staff expanded wildly against the wind. The snake head on it seemed to come alive, opening its bloody maw and swallowing the green sword in one gulp.

"What!?"

Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable's face changed drastically, clearly not expecting Earth Venerable's strength to be so formidable.

He turned to flee, but a cold light shot out from the snake's eyes, and in an instant, it swallowed Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable as well.

Following that, the Snake-Headed Staff flew back into Earth Venerable's hand.

"Those who are not of our race can never be trusted!"

Earth Venerable's eyes glinted with cold light as his large hand gripped the snake head. Immediately, Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable's shrill screams came from within.

Before long, the sound faded, turning into a pool of green blood that flowed out from the snake's mouth.

"Ten Thousand Wood!"

Seeing this, a flash of sorrow passed through Boundless Great Venerable's eyes.

He and Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable were old friends.

Tens of thousands of years ago, he had secretly plotted with Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable to use the heavenly god tree as "sincerity" to let Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable infiltrate the eerie race and erupt at a critical moment to assassinate the Heaven and Earth Supreme.

Because Boundless Great Venerable had lived long enough, he knew the strength of the Heaven and Earth Two Venerables.

Normally, none of them could truly contend with the Heaven and Earth Supreme.

In a head-on confrontation, victory was impossible. Only a surprise attack offered a glimmer of hope!

Alas, they had still been too naive.

From beginning to end, Earth Venerable had never considered Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable one of his own and had been on guard.

As a result, this plan not only failed to achieve the desired effect but also caused Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable to die a miserable death in front of everyone.

"So Ten Thousand Wood Great Venerable only feigned surrender to the eerie..."

After learning the truth, Giant Rock Great Venerable, Storm Great Venerable, Blazing Bright Great Venerable, and the others could not help but feel a sense of shared grief for their fallen comrade.
