Chapter 2375: A Heavy Loss
Wujiang’s hands released the Myriad Curse Bead, which floated hundreds of meters away.
Whoosh
Hundreds of Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan stood behind Wujiang in different directions. They were like the divines from the heavens, channeling the Nether Qi with all their might. They shot out from their hands and turned into beams of light that poured into the Myriad Curse Bead.
In an instant.
The Myriad Curse Bead exploded with an extremely dazzling light that illuminated ten thousand miles of space.
At the same time, the Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan, led by Wujiang, chanted the Blood-devouring Curse in unison.
The Blood-devouring Curse was one of the six most terrifying curses of the Nether Clan. It could silently sip away the blood of all living beings and turn them into dry corpses.
Most of the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives on the seventh Dark Star were living beings full of blood qi.
At that moment, they were horrified to find that their bodies were rapidly shriveling up. They were getting weaker and weaker. The blood in their bodies was flowing out of their control. However, they didn’t know where they had lost it.
“The Blood-devouring Curse! It’s the Blood-devouring Curse...”
“We can’t resist it at all. We can only wait for death. This curse is the nemesis of all living beings with blood qi... ah... I can’t accept this... I can’t just die like this...”
All the Supreme Saint Celestial Captives fell into panic.
The Supreme Saints of the Stone Clan and the Deathkin were all shocked when they saw what happened.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei sighed, “The Blood-devouring Curse is the best way to kill the Celestial Captives. It seems like all the points here will be taken by the Nether Clan.”
“Wujiang’s cultivation base is higher than before. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to control the Myriad Curse Bead, which is supported by hundreds of Supreme Saints,” another Supreme Saint of the Deathkin said.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei nodded and said, “Wujiang’s cultivation level has reached its peak. No one can stop him.”
Wujiang’s current cultivation level was the level that Supreme Saint Yuan Fei had always dreamed of reaching.
Unfortunately, there was still a gap between humans.
Just the physique of Wujiang’s myriad hands and eyes was two to three levels lower than Supreme Saint Yuan Fei. Furthermore, Wujiang’s master was an extremely great existence in the Nether Hall, which made Supreme Saint Yuan Fei unattainable.
Thinking of this, Supreme Saint Yuan Fei sighed again.
Whoosh
A five-colored light appeared on the Dark Star and formed a circle that spread out in all directions.
The Supreme Saint Celestial Captives attacked one after another and injected the power in their bodies into the five-colored circle.
The five-colored circle became brighter and brighter as it released the Supreme Power. The entire space started to boil.
“Why are there fluctuations of Supreme Power?”
“Don’t tell me that the Celestial Captives can control a Supreme Artifact?”
The expressions of the cultivators from the three upper clans changed.
Swoosh
A five-colored Saint Sword flew out of the circle and slashed toward the Myriad Curse Bead.
The tip of the sword clashed with the bead.
BOOM!
Hundreds of Nether Clan Supreme Saints all trembled and were sent flying.
Among them, Wujiang, who controlled the Myriad Curse Bead, let out a muffled sound. His face turned pale and he was sent flying more than ten miles away.
A violent wave of Supreme Power swept across hundreds of miles, forcing the Supreme Saints of the Deathkin and Stone Clan to fend for themselves.
“It’s the Pentastone Sword!”
“How could the Pentastone Sword of the number one powerhouse of the Stone Clan be snatched away by the Celestial Captives?”
“The Pentastone Sword belongs to Lord Lei. How... how could it be on the other’s hand? That’s not possible, absolutely impossible.”
...
Hundreds of Celestial Captives flew out of the Dark Star and charged toward the cultivators of the three upper clans, who were stunned and in a state of chaos.
These Celestial Captives had ferocious expressions and their eyes were filled with killing intent. They were burning their lifeforce and bursting out with extreme speed.
Pan Ruo, who had just returned, stood on the Nether River and witnessed everything. She immediately shouted, “Retreat! Retreat quickly and distance yourself. They are going to self-detonate their Sainthood Source and perish together with you.”
The Supreme Saints of the three upper clans were all pale with fright.
Some of them ran away in panic.
Some of them released their spiritual power in an attempt to suppress the spiritual will of the Celestial Captives and stop them from self-destructing. Unfortunately, the spiritual power released was dispersed by the sword Qi from the Pentastone Sword.
“It’s too late! Today, all of you will die... Haha...”
“If you want to die, we will die together.”
“If the Infernal Court wants to kill us all, we can only die together.”
Dozens of Celestial Captives laughed crazily and charged into the area where the Supreme Saints of the three upper clans gathered.
Rumble
Earth-shattering sounds rang out.
Their Sainthood Source and Neverwither physique exploded at the same time, releasing dozens of destructive powers.
From afar, they looked like fireworks in the night sky. They illuminated the pitch-black world like it was daytime. It was brilliant and beautiful.
The terrifying qi spread thousands of miles away.
3,000 miles away, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha stood. The layers of shock waves continued to jolt them. They couldn’t standstill. “Search our n?wno?el.?rg”The energy in the center of the self-detonation was probably very concentrated.
“Wujiang was too rash. Attacking the seventh Dark Star so aggressively and forcing Celestial Captives into a desperate situation would backfire. Perhaps the boiled frog effect might be a better solution.”
Luo Sha sighed. She felt that it wasn’t worth it for those Supreme Saints of the Infernal Court who had died tragically.
It was Wujiang’s wrong decision that had killed them.
Dozens of Supreme Saints had self-detonated at the same time. The impact of the detonation was too powerful. At that moment, the center area was still in chaos. All kinds of power interweaved, and lightning and fire filled the air.
Zhang Ruochen said, “Wujiang underestimated Celestial Captive’s strength and determination. It was too easy for him to destroy more than 700 Supreme Saints. Also...”
After a moment of silence, he said, “How did the Pentastone Sword fall into the hands of Lord Hornless?”
The person controlling the Pentastone Sword must have been Lord Hornless.
Other Celestial Captives couldn’t control such a powerful force.
Luo Sha frowned deeply and said, “Even the Pentastone Sword has been lost. I’m afraid Lord Lei is doomed. This is a big trouble!”
That’s right.
Big trouble!
Lord Hornless was the Banshi Isshou Realm powerhouse. In the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, no one could defeat him.
With an additional Supreme Artifact, it was as if his power got redoubled.
Who would dare to provoke him?
There was a tragic scene in the dark space not far from the seventh Dark Star. More than 200 Supreme Saints from the three upper clans were present. As they floated in the void, their bodies were incomplete.
The Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan suffered the most losses because they were the closest to the Dark Star.
Some of the Supreme Saints of the Stone Clan had their bodies shattered into pieces of stone. Some of the Supreme Saints of the Nether Clan had their immortal bodies explode and turn into a ball of dark gas. Some of the Supreme Saints of the Deathkin only had one arm and one head left.
“The Scroll of Truth and Deceit!”
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei immediately unfurled the Supreme Artifact of the Deathkin and turned it into a thousand-mile scroll. It enveloped all the Supreme Saints of the Infernal Court to prevent the Celestial Captives from launching a second suicidal attack.
The other Supreme Saints of the Hundred-Shackle Realm were all on high alert. They escaped from the area where the Celestial Captive self-destructed and were almost unharmed.
They all held up their Regal Artifacts and formed a defensive force at that point.
The vitality of a Supreme Saint was strong, especially a Hundred-Shackle Realm Supreme Saint. Even if their Neverwilt physique was shattered, they would not die and their cultivation would not drop to the Saint King Realm.
There were only thirty-four Supreme Saints from the three upper clans who were killed by the Celestial Captives’ self-explosion.
The stone fragments floating in the void slowly gathered together and formed a stone body once again.
Balls of black Nether Qi also started to gather under the control of the Sainthood Source, forming the outline of a human.
Tentacles grew out of one of the heads of the Deathkin Supreme Saint, forming a neck, chest, hands, and legs. Gradually, they formed a complete body.
Of course, they had suffered such serious injuries. They couldn’t recover completely in a short time.
Wujiang looked at the shocking scene in front of him. His eyes lost focus. Then, he revealed a furious expression again. “Such a hateful group of prey. I’ll kill all of you.”
Losing to Zhang Ruochen had made a huge flaw in Wujiang’s state of mind. He couldn’t calm down.
Wujiang’s cultivation had improved greatly this time. He thought he could sweep through the Battlefield of Celestial-Hunting, but he’d already suffered so much in the first battle. His emotions were naturally even more extreme.
Splash
The water of the Nether River swept over and stopped Wujiang, who wanted to charge into the Dark Star alone.
Wujiang looked back. His gaze fell on Pan Ruo and said, “Let me go. I want to avenge the dead cultivator.”
“Calm down first. Lord Hornless is in control of the Supreme Artifact and hundreds of Supreme Saint Celestial Captives are gathered on the Dark Star. If you go now, it will be suicide,” said Pan Ruo
Pan Ruo’s tone was cold. She mobilized the Power of Destiny to help Wujiang control his emotions.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and Que Fei rushed over. Both of their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
The fact that the Celestial Captives were able to cause such a huge loss to the three upper clans meant that they had to bear the main responsibility for their recklessness.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei advised, “The most important thing for us to do now is to stabilize our position so that we won’t be attacked by the Celestial Captives.”
“Not good!”
The four of them sensed danger at the same time. All of them looked behind them.
A meteor shower tore through the dark space and flew towards the 200 or so three upper clans Supreme Saints who had just reformed their saint physiques.
Looking closely, the meteor shower was actually over a million stone swords.
The stone swords were covered with a layer of sacred light.
If this wave of attacks hit, the 200 or so Supreme Saints, who were already heavily injured and extremely weak, would most likely be wiped out. It would be an unbearable pain to the entire three upper clans.
Supreme Saint Yuan Fei and the others’ defensive measures were mainly placed on the edge facing the Dark Star. Who would have thought that such a powerful attack would suddenly erupt from behind?
Everyone’s faces were extremely pale.
Wujiang was indeed worthy of being a level 66 spiritual power powerhouse. He was the first to notice the rain of stone swords and displayed the reaction speed of a top-notch powerhouse. He rushed over immediately.
“Nether Domain.”
“Netherdeus.”
The Nether Qi from Wujiang’s body spread out for hundreds of miles, revealing the Nether Domain. The black palace, the blood stone walls, the white bone divine mountain... it was as if an ancient Nether kingdom appeared under his feet.
At the same time, the phantom of the Netherdeus rose up and collided with millions of stone swords.
Everyone was shocked and forgot to rush to help.
3,000 miles away, Zhang Ruochen and Luo Sha were also slightly absent-minded.
“Where did these stone swords come from? Which force did it?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Dense Precepts of Truth appeared in Zhang Ruochen’s eyes. He looked in the direction where the stone swords flew.
Luo Sha said, “Wujiang must be crazy! He’s alone against millions of stone swords. The swords can chop him into ashes.”
BOOM!
Millions of stone swords smashed Wujiang’s Nether Domain into pieces. Then, they exploded the phantom of Netherdeus.
Wujiang’s body turned into a 9-meter-wide black hole.
Any stone sword that hit the black hole immediately disappeared.
However, more rain of stone swords continued to fly towards the 200 or so Infernal Court Supreme Saints who had just formed their saint physiques.
Luckily, Wujiang was able to stall for time. Pan Ruo controlled the Nether River to flow over quickly and swept the 200 Supreme Saints away from the danger zone.
After the rain of stone swords flew past, the black hole could no longer withstand it. It exploded and shot out tens of thousands of stone swords.
CRACK!
Wujiang stood during the tumultuous Power of Darkness. He spit blood out of his mouth. His body was splattered with blood. “I will try my hardest to make up for my mistake,” he panted heavily.
...
Luo Sha shook her head and said, “Impossible. How can Wujiang withstand this wave of attacks? There must be a problem. There must be.”
“His Nether Domain is more than twice as powerful as before, especially its defensive power.” Zhang Ruochen commented.
Zhang Ruochen had fought with Wujiang before. He knew more than Luo Sha and could see through its hidden power.
When Wujiang manifested the Nether Domain just now, Zhang Ruochen had a completely different feeling from the last time he fought.
Last time, Wujiang had only manifested the Nether Domain.
This time, it was as if the real Nether Domain had appeared.
This feeling was as if the Realm-frame of Truth had transformed from the “Shoreless Star Ocean” to the “Boundless Universe”.
The Nether Domain was a strange phenomenon formed when Wujiang cultivated one of the eight volumes, the Nether Domain volume of the Nether Scrolls. During this period, it must have undergone a qualitative change, which could increase Wujiang’s battle strength and defense, it was even more powerful.
“The opportunity Wujiang received in the home planet of the Nether Clan must be related to this. It has improved his understanding of the Nether Scrolls. I just don’t know what is new in his Nether Domain.”
Luo Sha looked thoughtful. Her red lips curled up slightly. It was unknown what she was up to.
“The three upper clans have stabilized their formation. It’s hard for the Celestial Captives to take advantage of this. Next, they’ll probably fight a long battle,” Zhang Ruochen said.
“With Pan Ruo’s intelligence, she’ll definitely take the strategy of encircling and then attacking from afar. In this way, she’ll drag Celestial Captives to their death. After all, there’s no Saint Qi of heaven and earth, saint stones, or Godstones on the Dark Star.”
It was obvious that among the three upper clans, Luo Sha only looked up to Pan Ruo and regarded her as the biggest opponent of her generation.
As for the likes of Wujiang and Supreme Saint Yuan Fei, they were both power-type cultivators and her royal brother should deal with them.
“Do you think Lord Hornless would be trapped on the Dark Star so easily without considering this?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
Luo Sha immediately understood and said, “You mean...”
Zhang Ruochen’s hand pointed in the direction where the millions of stone swords had flown.
