Chapter 2508: Shattered, Gone

Wuyao is a minor god—what qualifications does he have to converse with the Great Emperor of the Nine Abysses? Either the instigator should appear in person, or he should have Wuyao step down immediately.

"With such cultivation, yet still hiding your head and exposing your tail—given your disposition, it's no wonder you can only remain beneath the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void."

As the words fell, the Blood Demon let out a soft "hiss." To kill and still demand the heart—this master is ruthless; I like it.

Wuyao blinked rapidly a few times, then suddenly closed his eyes.

After just three or five breaths, Wuyao opened his eyes again, his expression completely different from before.

"Nine Abyss, you are seeking your own death."

His voice had changed—He Lingchuan could tell it was the voice of Jia Lou Tian.

Jia Lou Tian is the most mysterious among the Great Heavenly Demons, disliking to show himself, and humanity knows the least about him.

With the Battle of Yujing City having reached this state, he originally would not have spoken again, but Nine Abyss had pushed things this far—even if he were truly of an earthen disposition, he could not endure it.

"A fleeing Heavenly Demon—how dare you utter such brazen words?" The Blood Demon's sharp laughter echoed above the city walls, "Come on, come on—my master still wishes to fight you for three hundred rounds."

He was certain that Jia Lou Tian's avatar, lacking a suitable vessel, had already returned to the heavenly realm—this was merely a stray thought of the other party seizing the microphone on the minor god, satisfying his own oral fixation, absolutely no problem.

Moreover, the Earth Mother and He Lingchuan have already escaped their predicament—this Yujing City is their home turf; what harm is there in fighting Jia Lou Tian once more?

This time is that time.

"Even if you seize the Divine Mandate of Fate, you cannot control its power. The Divine Mandate was never prepared for humanity." Jia Lou Tian ignored the Blood Demon, addressing only He Lingchuan: "The gap between us is like that between a firefly and the bright moon—you know this full well. I hope you have means to swiftly enhance your cultivation, for—"

"The day of the gods' descent is not far off." He pointed at He Lingchuan: "When that time comes, the first person I wish to visit is you! The first object of heavenly gods' attention shall be Cang Yan!"

At that time, it shall be the death of Nine Abyss!

At that time, it shall be the day of Cang Yan's downfall!

Between Jia Lou Tian and Nine Abyss, between the heavenly gods and Cang Yan, there is a thick ledger of debts to be settled.

As he pointed thus, even the Blood Demon behind He Lingchuan felt immense pressure, as if humanity were being stared down by a fierce tiger.

To be threatened and eyed by a Great Heavenly Demon yet remain unflinching—aside from He Lingchuan, few others could manage it.

"As the controller of the Sequence Mandate, how could you not know that worldly affairs are impermanent and plans shift faster than change? Descend to the lower realm quickly—I, as host, will surely entertain you lavishly." He Lingchuan laughed: "I only hope that then you won't flee faster than you did today."

Then he drew a crystal disc from his bosom, pushed it forward, and let it hover in midair.

"Do you know what this is?"

Jia Lou Tian's eyes flickered, yet he said nothing. Could this be...?

"It is the treasure you painstakingly schemed to obtain from Shangguan Biao's grasp—the Yangguan Dao."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Demon finally learned Shangguan Biao's fate.

A cold light flashed at Nine Abyss's waist—the Emergence Blade appeared and vanished in an instant, yet the divine artifact "Yangguan Dao" before him was shattered into pieces with a "crack," falling to the ground as shards of glazed tile.

Jia Lou Tian narrowed his eyes, clenched his jaw, and anger rose from his heart.

In the end, he had still fallen for the other's scheme—damn it!

He Lingchuan sheathed his blade, spread his hands: "Look, the 'Yangguan Dao' is gone! Henceforth, the Holy Lord of the Spiritual Void will have to expend even greater effort, seeking another way to restrain the Hidden God Sovereign."

He was certain that the Heavenly Demons observing the Battle of Yujing City at this moment were not only Jia Lou Tian—his act of shattering the "Yangguan Dao" did not escape notice from more than just a pair of eyes.

"The Yangguan Dao" is gone—he wants all Heavenly Demons present to see it clearly.

Jia Lou Tian let out a low hum, lowered his gaze, and said nothing.

When he opened his eyes again, the immense pressure had vanished.

He Lingchuan knew that just now, Jia Lou Tian had forcibly borrowed Wuyao's mouth and tongue to converse with him.

The earlier battle in the Void Realm had left Jia Lou Tian stifled to the point of desperation; Nine Abyss then flaunted his might and provoked him—he truly could not swallow this indignity, so he came to confront Nine Abyss and deliver his message.

After their mutual exchange of barbs ended, he also departed.

Upon reopening his eyes, Wuyao regained control of his body, yet his face was ashen.

Jia Lou Tian can come and go freely, but he cannot.

Above the city walls, an aurora-like halo had already risen—this was the barrier erected by the Earth Mother, and also the last few gleams of color he could behold.

Brothers are dead, the other Heavenly Demon avatars have returned to the heavenly realm, while he alone is a true divine descent—winged yet unable to fly!

He alone cannot possibly match Nine Abyss the Great Emperor, especially with the nearby rainbow light flickering and the immortals of the Lingshan also arriving.

The leader is none other than Zhu Xiuer.

In Wuyao's heart, only despair remained.

"Kill him!" He Lingchuan turned around and slowly descended the city ladder.

This is the Earth Mother's domain—he need not lift a finger, letting her handle it will suffice.

The Blood Demon cackled: "The 'Yangguan Dao' is shattered—seen by all Heavenly Demons. This means the Spiritual Void Lord's descent plan suffers a severe setback! Other Heavenly Demons, upon learning this, will surely distrust the Spiritual Void Lord and the Spiritual Void multitude even more."

"The Yangguan Dao" is the crucial divine artifact for subduing the Hidden God Sovereign's form, yet it was shattered by Nine Abyss the Great Emperor himself—so does the Spiritual Void Lord's original promise to bestow divine bodies upon the multitude still hold?

I fear the Heavenly Demons' trust in the Spiritual Void Lord will suffer a major discount.

Furthermore, the Spiritual Void multitude's scheme to plot the Dragon Ruins has failed, their vision of seizing the Great Vase has come to naught—these many blemishes will also greatly diminish the Spiritual Void Lord's prestige.

At this moment, the Earth Mother's voice again sounded in He Lingchuan's ear: "I have found the Cyclops clan—they are fast approaching the northern city gate."

"Deal with them as you wish—do as you please." He Lingchuan knew it hated Wu and Wu alike, and likewise detested the demon troops under Shangguan Biao.

"There are still several factions stirring in this city—besides the Lingshan, there is another army." Within Yujing City, the Earth Mother could be said to know everything: "Just now, they were also attacking Shangguan Biao's demon troops."

"Most likely, it is the army of Shen State." He Lingchuan glanced toward the city outskirts—that direction was Shen State's encampment: "Shangguan Biao has lost power; they now know what to do."

The Shen King is a wise man, knowing he should stand with the victors—thus, once certain Shangguan Biao cannot turn the tide, the Shen army immediately mobilized.

He Lingchuan gestured: "Just let them leave Yujing City."

On the city walls, the final battle had already erupted—the Earth Mother showed no mercy.

A shadow flickered before his eyes—Zhu Xiuer arrived, her first words asking him:

"How are your injuries?"

"Not good." He Lingchuan stepped down the wall ladder, took two steps, then grimaced. Though his face was blocked by the helmet, no one could see his expression: "I need to rest for a while."

Why is he just posing on the city wall without taking action?

Damn, it's not because he's seriously injured and his whole body hurts, is it?

The divine power of the Great Heavenly Demon's command is still wreaking havoc inside him, not so easily dispelled.
