Chapter 1631: Time Reverse
Huan Xinhai's soul was incredibly powerful. Even with her seal lifted, Dong Ziwan had still placed herself in an extremely dangerous position by trying to disrupt Huan Xinhai's technique with her soul possession technique. Not only was Huan Xinhai dealing with her using his own soul, but his main body was also holding her by the neck.
"Accursed woman, for ruining my plan, I'll send you to the afterlife," said Huan Xinhai with a cold smile on his face. He then exerted more force with his grip.
Boom!
Like a bursting fruit, Dong Ziwan's neck was crushed, sending blood splashing out. Just like that, she had perished. Her death had unfolded right before Xiang Shaoyun's eyes, driving him into madness.
"Ziwan!" Xiang Shaoyun roared and then coughed up a mouthful of blood. The Imperial Nether Clan's rune on his forehead started pulsing, and a boundless devilish aura swept out in all directions. The phantom of a powerful imperial nether devil appeared behind him.
At that moment, Xiang Shaoyun had entered the strongest state a devil dao cultivator could enter. He had a lot of close female companions, and he treated each of them with sincerity. Dong Ziwan was someone who had faced death alongside him, and he had always treated her with incomparable respect. Watching her dying before his eyes had caused him to lose all his reason.
The power within the devil pearl surged incessantly, and his cultivation of peak Devil Pseudo-God Realm was pushed to its limits. In the past, Xiang Shaoyun had rarely used his devil cultivation. However, his devil cultivation was not weak at all. In fact, it was much higher than his astral cultivation. It had long reached peak Devil Pseudo-God Realm, a step away from the Devil God Realm.
With his astral cultivation in its weakened state, his devil cultivation fully erupted. His battle rune manifested, and his Divine Yin Yang Sword started emanating dreadful devilish energy. He charged Huan Xinhai as he roared, "You will suffer a terrible death!"
Devil dao of death!
The Divine Yin Yang Sword unleashed a dreadful ray of devilish energy, carrying with it the pinnacle of destructiveness. The sword ray was unstoppable and left a trail of thick death energy in its path as it drew through the air. The terrifying energy shocked everyone around him. They finally realized just how strong Xiang Shaoyun was.
"Ignorant human. Is it even possible for you to kill me?" said Huan Xinhai as he tossed Dong Ziwan's corpse aside. He spread his other palm open and unleashed a wave of illusory power upon Xiang Shaoyun.
Defying all his expectations, the power did not kill Xiang Shaoyun. Instead, it was instantly weakened as its destructiveness withered away.
"Repulsive woman, you still try to disturb me? With the little soul power you have, you dare try to possess me? You're courting death!" Within Huan Xinhai's head, Dong Ziwan's soul was fighting relentlessly, trying to take over Huan Xinhai's soul.
"I will not allow you to harm Shaoyun!" declared Dong Ziwan resolutely.
Her soul unleashed a bizarre power that enveloped Huan Xinhai's soul, slowly taking over his soul power.
"If we have the same cultivation level, my soul power might really be devoured by you. But with your current strength, die," said Huan Xinhai as his soul put up a fierce resistance.
Xiang Shaoyun took the chance to approach Huan Xinhai before slashing Huan Xinhai's waist. It was as though Xiang Shaoyun had gone mad. He spun and swung his Divine Yin Yang Sword at Huan Xinhai incessantly, slashing Huan Xinhai's body into pieces.
"You can't kill me," said Huan Xinhai as he reappeared somewhere else, looking completely unharmed.
One ought to admit that Huan Xinhai was truly powerful. He had actually manifested an illusory body, and in Xiang Shaoyun's madness, he had not discovered the illusion.
Xiang Shaoyun charged toward the newly appeared Huan Xinhai and roared, "I'll kill you!"
Sword energy and devilish energy combined to form a sword of death that could end all life.
"Shaoyun, I'll definitely be able to suppress this fellow. Avenge me!" Dong Ziwan's voice rang out from Huan Xinhai's head as she detonated her soul and assaulted Huan Xinhai's soul with the explosion.
Boom!
Huan Xinhai had not expected that Dong Ziwan would welcome death so readily. The space within his head nearly collapsed from the explosion.
Listening to Dong Ziwan's voice, Xiang Shaoyun stared blankly as a flawless face faded from his vision. He roared madly, "Ziwan, I don't want you to die!"
Time Reverse!
Yin and yang erupted from his body. The black and white energies crisscrossed in the sky and forced time to flow backward. The laws of time itself were affected, and time slowly reversed. It was an incredibly shocking feat, one that Xiang Shaoyun had accomplished in his moment of despair. He had finally gained the ability to truly control time.
Even though it was still a tiny fraction of what the true dao of time was capable of, it was still enough to shock the world. Time returned to the split second before Dong Ziwan detonated her soul. Xiang Shaoyun resolutely slashed his sword toward Huan Xinhai's head.
Despite his peerless illusory techniques, Huan Xinhai illusory powers couldn't contend against the dao of time. He was still in utter confusion when his head was split open by Xiang Shaoyun's sword.
Boom!
A powerful burst of energy erupted as Huan Xinhai's god body crumbled apart. Two souls flew out, respectively Dong Ziwan and Huan Xinhai.
"Ziwan, I will not allow you to die! Gui Qi, come out!" Xiang Shaoyun roared. Gui Qi instantly appeared and unleashed all his soul attacks toward Huan Xinhai.
"Damn it! It's a ghostrune! Is everyone else dead? Come help this lord!" shouted Huan Xinhai in panic.
When the other aliens heard his call for help, they swarmed over madly.
"Ziwan, ease your soul sense. Allow me to protect you," said Xiang Shaoyun as he stored both her soul and her corpse in his astral cosmos sea.
As Dong Ziwan had lifted the seal on her God Realm strength, perhaps she could survive this episode. Even if she couldn't recover by herself, Xiang Shaoyun would do all he could to bring her back to life.
After putting Dong Ziwan away, his murderous gaze landed on Huan Xinhai. He pushed his speed to the maximum and transformed into a bolt of lightning. Dashing through the group of approaching aliens, he formed a ball of primal chaos lightning in his hand and threw it at Huan Xinhai, who was attempting to reassemble his body.
"I said that you will die, and I will keep my word," said Xiang Shaoyun, whose hatred toward Huan Xinhai had reached an immense level. The primal chaos lightning ball instantly arrived in front of Huan Xinhai's soul.
No! Unable to evade in time, Huan Xinhai was blasted away by the lightning ball.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, his back was exposed, allowing several attacks to strike him before he could move away.
"Roar! You bastards! For harming my boss, all of you deserve death!" a tiger roar suddenly resounded from far away.
