12: Chapter 12: For Huo Ling'er's sake, Jiuyou Eren helps Shi Hao turn the tables on the Rain Clan.

"I really owe it to you guys."

Wang Teng sighed helplessly.

That slender human palm gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Princess Huo Linger's eyes before softly pushing her toward the safe zone behind him.

He turned around to face the surging tide of Yu Clan experts, and his originally lazy and casual youthful aura vanished in an instant.

In its place was a terrifying pressure originating from the primordial era that made the very heavens and earth tremble.

"Watch closely, Linger. This is one of the betrothal gifts this Prince Consort is giving you—the heads of the Yu Clan."

Before his voice had even faded, Wang Teng's body suddenly jolted.

"Buzz—!!!"

There was no brilliant divine light, only endless darkness.

The originally clear twilight sky was instantly obscured by rolling black clouds.

But these were no ordinary clouds; they were a domain woven from materialized killing intent and Nine Nether Hell Mist.

Under the terrified gazes of everyone present, the handsome youth's figure began to twist and expand.

The explosive sound of bones grinding against each other was like rolling thunder as black scales pierced through his skin and grew wildly.

"Roar—!!!"

The roar was no longer something a human vocal cord could produce.

It was a howl from hell, its vibration instantly shattering the ancient trees within a five-mile radius into powder.

As the black mist dissipated, a terrifying beast dozens of yards long and with shoulders as high as a small hill stood towering there.

It had a ferocious wolf's head, curved dragon horns, and three rows of sharp fangs.

And behind it were nine massive bone dragon-head tails fanned out, dancing and hissing madly.

The Ten Primordial Evils—Nine-Nether Ao, has descended!

The Yu Clan members had been aggressive, vowing to surround and kill the Bear Kid who had caused such headaches for the Void God Realm.

However, at this moment, their advancing steps came to a dead halt.

These dozens of Yu Clan elites felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet straight to the crowns of their heads.

"This... what kind of monster is this?"

Yu Zimo, dressed in green with an ethereal aura, possessed eyes with a talent called 'Spirit Link,' but now, two streaks of bloody tears flowed from them.

In her vision, there was no longer a youth ahead, but clearly a gateway leading to the abyss of death!

The karma and killing intent swirling around that black giant beast were so intense that even a single glance made her eyes sting with pain.

"Do not panic!"

A Yu Clan elder shouted sternly, holding a rain-blue staff, his entire body brilliant with runes.

"No matter what kind of demonic beast it is, since it dares to obstruct the Yu Clan's business, we shall kill it all the same!"

Form the array—Rain Covering the Heavens!"

"Kill!"

Dozens of Yu Clan experts roared in unison to dispel the fear in their hearts.

They simultaneously unleashed their precious techniques as the water vapor in the air gathered, transforming into countless blue-tinted sharp swords.

Densely packed like a torrential rain, they poured down toward Shi Hao and Wang Teng.

Every drop of rain was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and every sword qi could pierce through mountains.

"It's over, it's over! The Yu Clan actually brought out their signature array!"

Although Shi Hao was shouting, his body honestly shrank back behind Wang Teng's rear.

He tightly gripped the broken sword and the Small Tower, ready to deliver a finishing blow at any moment.

"Hey, Big Black... cough, Brother-in-law! Can you handle this? If not, let's bail; a wise man knows when to retreat!"

"Shut up."

Wang Teng's massive wolf head turned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his three blood-colored eyes.

Facing the overwhelming rain-based killing array, Wang Teng had no intention of dodging at all.

"Before the Nine Nether, all laws are void."

He suddenly opened his bloody maw, but instead of breathing out a beam of light, he took a deep—inhale!

"Rumble!"

This inhalation was like a giant whale swallowing the sea or a long rainbow drinking up water.

The runic rain-swords falling from the sky, which were enough to level a city, actually changed their trajectory mid-air!

Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, they frantically surged into Wang Teng's bottomless mouth.

"What?!"

The Yu Clan elder's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"He... he swallowed them? Those were runes containing the divine power of the Rain God!"

"The taste is too bland, full of fishy water smell. One star review."

Wang Teng let out a loud burp, and then his gaze turned fierce.

"Returning them to you!"

The nine tails behind his back suddenly whipped forward.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!..."

It wasn't rain that he spat out, but nine beams of ink-black death light!

That was Nirvanic Corpse Qi transformed within the Nine-Nether Ao's body, mixed with the spiritual power he had just devoured, rebounding with ten times the power!

"Ah—!!"

Screams instantly echoed through the forest.

The seven or eight Yu Clan experts charging at the front didn't even have time to scream.

The moment their bodies touched the black death light, it was as if they had undergone ten thousand years of weathering.

They instantly decayed and disintegrated, turning into a pile of black dust on the ground.

Even the precious artifacts in their hands instantly became rusted and lost all spirituality.

"Demonic technique! This is a demonic technique! Retreat quickly!"

Yu Zimo screamed as her spiritual intuition blared a frantic alarm.

"Since you've come, stay and serve as fertilizer."

Wang Teng exerted force with his four limbs, and his massive body instantly vanished from the spot.

In the next instant, he appeared directly in the center of the Yu Clan crowd.

"Buzz—!"

Ten Heavenly Passages, like ten black demonic suns, surrounded Wang Teng's body and boomed open!

This was not just a phenomenon, but an absolute domain suppression.

Within this range, all light was swallowed, and all five-elemental power was cut off.

The water-system precious techniques the Yu Clan were so proud of were as fragile as a joke before these Ten Heavenly Passages.

"These are... the Ten Heavenly Passages? The legendary Extreme Realm?"

One of the Sealers (an old monster who had suppressed his cultivation to enter) roared in terror, attempting to burn his essence blood to escape.

"Too late."

Wang Teng's cold voice echoed in the darkness.

A thick tail, carrying sharp bone spurs like a peerless war spear, instantly pierced through the Sealer's chest.

Immediately after, the beast head resembling a True Dragon at the end of the tail opened its mouth and bit down hard on the Sealer's crown.

"Zzzzz..."

That elder, who possessed the strength of the Spirit Transformation Realm, actually shriveled up at a visible rate.

His entire essence, energy, and spirit were swallowed clean by that strange head.

"Great nourishment."

Wang Teng felt a warm current surge into his limbs and bones, and the blood energy he had consumed from his forced transformation was instantly replenished.

The slaughter had begun.

This was not a battle, but a hunt, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.

Wang Teng didn't even need to use any complex precious techniques.

His indestructible Dark Gold Scales were the best shield.

His invincible claws and those nine elusive tails were the most terrifying killing machines.

"Bang!"

A Yu Clan genius was slapped into a pulp by Wang Teng.

"Crack!"

Two elders trying to sneak attack were cut in half at the waist by two tails, their upper bodies still screaming.

Their lower bodies were already being fought over and devoured by the heads on two other tails.

Fresh blood dyed the mountain forest red, but it was soon evaporated clean by the death energy radiating from the Nine-Nether Ao.

Standing in the distance, Shi Hao watched dumbstruck, the broken sword in his hand raised for a long time without ever striking.

"Good heavens... this Big Black Dog... no, this Brother-in-law is just too brutal."

Shi Hao swallowed hard and turned his head to look at Princess Huo Linger behind him.
