Chapter 181: Great Calamity of the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground!

"Junior, have the God Emperor behind you come out! Let us have a battle!"

"Today, we are taking you away!"

Sword God Emperor and Blade God Emperor arrived before him and stopped, then spoke.

"I have no backing; I am just by myself."

"I am the God Emperor!"

Ma Hongjun released his own aura.

It made the two God Emperors' expressions change: "God Emperor Mid-stage!"

"To think you even deceived us! This is your true strength!"

"No wonder you could kill Yin Xuan Shengzhe!"

Sword God Emperor and Blade God Emperor had icy gazes.

"You stand aside; leave this person to me to deal with."

Sword God Emperor flew out a distance first and said indifferently.

A long sword radiating purple thunder appeared before him.

This was his life-bound Imperial Weapon, the Purple Thunder Sword! Terrifying sword Qi spread out; his sword intent had reached the supreme profound meaning, and he slashed out with a sword from thin air! It transformed into a purple thunder sword Qi that descended toward Ma Hongjun.

This strike tore the firmament apart.

Terrifying indeed! "Just in time to test this move."

"Heavenly Punishment Killing Array, open!"

Red light flickered in Ma Hongjun's eyes.

In an instant, terrifying killing intent surged from his body, and the array expanded, shrouding Sword God Emperor and Blade God Emperor within it in the blink of an eye.

Above the sky, Heavenly Punishment thunder descended, countless times more terrifying than the sword Qi! The terrifying sword Qi slashing toward Ma Hongjun was struck by the Heavenly Punishment thunder and turned into nothingness.

"What!?"

"This is Heavenly Punishment!"

"This is an array!?"

"Not good!"

Sword God Emperor watched as his confident sword strike was destroyed so simply, and his whole person went numb. Blade God Emperor's pupils constricted, and he shouted: "Careful."

The next second, two bolts of Heavenly Punishment descended toward them respectively; the speed was extremely fast, and they only had time to defend.

The Heavenly Punishment thunder was as huge as a mountain.

Sword God Emperor and Blade God Emperor used all their strength to block it, struggling immensely.

The protective barrier shattered inch by inch and finally collapsed.

"Oh no, we are going to perish here!"

Sword God Emperor and Blade God Emperor revealed looks of despair.

"Why is this person so strong!"

"Why does this person control such a terrifying Heavenly Punishment Killing Array!"

Boom!

"No!"

Their faces were filled with terror; they had already felt the arrival of death.

As the defense collapsed, the mountain-sized Heavenly Punishment thunder instantly pierced through their bodies, obliterating everything about them. Following two screams, their figures turned into fly ash and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Sword God Emperor? Blade God Emperor? In my eyes, they are both fragile."

Ma Hongjun muttered.

He raised his hand and waved, and two rings floated from within the Heavenly Punishment Killing Array into his hand.

Inside these were everything belonging to the two God Emperors.

"Hunt complete, cultivation level promoted!" The system's voice rang out.

Hum! The next second.

Ma Hongjun's cultivation level rose rapidly.

God Emperor Late-stage!

God Emperor Peak! Powerful strength spread throughout his body, and the terrifying God Emperor Peak aura crushed heaven and earth!

"This is the strength of a God Emperor Peak; truly terrifying! It is completely not an existence on the same magnitude!" Ma Hongjun clenched his fists, feeling somewhat excited.

"New mission issued: Annihilate the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground, reward cultivation level promotion to God Emperor Perfection! Heavenly Yin God Origin!"

"Tsk tsk, it's all the same old routine, wiping out an entire sect again. Although it is very cruel, I like it very much."

"Hehehehe~~~~"

Ma Hongjun gave a wicked laugh, and he set off, flying rapidly toward the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground.

Since you chose to shelter the Netherworld Mansion, that makes you an enemy of yours truly.

Since that is the case, then all of you go die!

Go to hell, that way you can continue to shelter each other! Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground!

Crack!

When Tianyin Shengzhu learned that his two protectors had been shattered, his whole person felt as if struck by lightning, and he nearly suffered a mental breakdown.

"Dead, Sword Protector and Blade Protector are dead!"

"How is this possible! Could it be that the God Emperor behind that person is an existence at the God Emperor Peak or even God Emperor Perfection level!?"

Tianyin Shengzhu's eyes were vacant as he muttered.

In his fury, his aura spread through the great hall, and the Elders in the hall were scared into kneeling one after another, their whole bodies trembling.

Unexpectedly, following the death of the Great Elder at Sacred Great Perfection, even the two protectors, the Sword and the Blade, both at the God Emperor Mid-stage, have died.

The Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground has ushered in an unprecedented weakening! This decline, unless a new God Emperor appears, will last for a very, very long time! Tianyin Shengzhu is very dejected, sorrowful, and also extremely regretful.

If he had known it would turn out like this, he would rather not have arranged for the two protectors to go.

"If this grudge is not avenged, I am no God Emperor!" Tianyin Shengzhu gritted his teeth, cold light flickering in his eyes.

Yet he also understands that his own strength is not as good as the two protectors, the Sword and the Blade; going himself would also be seeking death.

But the situation of the ancestor in the depths is special; he is the final trump card of the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground, and unless absolutely necessary, he must never be awakened, otherwise the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground will have no more trump cards to use.

And the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground will also become the bottom-ranked existence among all forces possessing God Emperors.

The Heavenly Yang Sacred Ground, which has been eyeing them covetously all along, will very likely take this opportunity to take them down! "Sacred Lord, what shall we do next?"

"Once the people of the Heavenly Yang Sacred Ground learn that we have lost one Great Elder at Sacred Great Perfection, as well as two God Emperor Mid-stage experts, they will certainly take major action against us."

"If the ancestor does not come out of the mountains, we will find it hard to hold the fort!"

At this moment, the Elders below, seeing that the Sacred Lord's aura had calmed down, spoke up one after another, probing.

"Outsiders do not know about this matter yet; you must not speak of it. If I find out, I will definitely execute you without mercy!"

"Proceed according to the normal way. Also, find me the sprout with the best talent, and use the power of the entire Sacred Ground to cultivate him into a God Emperor!"

"It is a pity that your talents have basically reached their limit, otherwise this Sacred Lord would definitely make you all become God Emperors too! Sigh!"

As Tianyin Shengzhu spoke, his gaze swept over the Elders below, a trace of disappointment and helplessness flashing by.

He was not lying with this statement; if there were truly hope, he would definitely cultivate these people into God Emperors!

The Saints, upon hearing this, all lowered their heads in shame: "We obey your decree!"

"Dismissed." Tianyin Shengzhu waved his hand, and the crowd left.

He sat alone in the great hall, eyes closed in contemplation; the situation ahead would become very difficult, and he must think of a brand-new path.

Outside, an Elder snuck into an unknown valley of the Sacred Ground and transmitted the intelligence using special means.

He was precisely an undercover agent planted by the Heavenly Yang Sacred Ground in the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground a very long time ago.

Now that the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground had suffered such a great calamity, he naturally had to spread this news back so that the people of the Heavenly Yang Sacred Ground could prepare early, and he would coordinate from the outside.

"Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground, this is the most foolish thing you have ever done. What follows is your period of decline, and my Heavenly Yang Sacred Ground will rule over you and become the strongest Sacred Ground in this Xijin Dalu!"

This Saint thought to himself and quickly left the place.

Also at this moment, a streak of light appeared within the Heavenly Yin Sacred Ground.

The Phoenix Ancestor Divine Realm opened, enveloping the people of the Sacred Ground, and began a massacre without any warning!

The Saint Elders came out to stop it, but were also killed in seconds.

This naturally included that undercover Elder, who also died under the heavenly punishment thunder.
