Chapter 374

Evil Clan World.

After the previous great battle, more than forty evil gods were slain, and the evil clan had only a handful of evil gods left.

The Evil Clan's royal court.

The Primordial Evil God sat alone on the throne, and before him lay emptiness.

Upon hearing that the other evil gods had been slain, and even the Purple-Wing Evil God did not return, this pampered bunch of evil gods were frightened, and each one left the Evil Clan's world.

Suddenly, a rift tore open in the void, and a white-clad man and a black, humanoid creature walked in; the white-clad man clapped his hands.

"Primordial, why is this place so desolate?"

"Where are your subordinates? Did they all run away?"

The Primordial sat on the throne, his expression indifferent: "A bunch of trash; if they want to leave, let them go."

The white-clad man casually found a seat, put his legs up on the table in front of him, and smiled nonchalantly.

"Yeah, just a bunch of trash."

The white-clad man turned his gaze to the Primordial: "Primordial, are you sure you keep your word?"

The Primordial didn't even lift his head: "Xu Yun, I said it, so it counts."

"As long as we win this battle, the karma of heaven shall be yours! The karma upon Shen Qing shall also be yours."

"As for you, Garu, I won't shortchange what I promised you."

The white-clad man is named Xu Yun, a member of the rebel organization, possessing the supreme power of karma; he came to help after hearing the Primordial's promise of karma.

The black humanoid creature is named Garu, a subspecies of humanity, and he joined this battle only after receiving the Primordial's promise.

Xu Yun licked his lips: "Really tempting, but according to what you said, that guy—Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao—are not weak."

"Are you sure we three can handle them?"

The Primordial pointed upward: "He will also join the battle."

The black creature Garu glanced at the sky and gave a cold smile.

"Heaven's way? Primordial, if you intend to join our rebels, then we stand opposed to Heaven's way."

The Primordial's voice was flat: "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

"I want revenge; without him, I cannot face Zhu Wu and the others alone."

Xu Yun chuckled: "No eternal enemies, only eternal interests? What an interesting saying."

"But as long as we can get out, that's enough."

"Primordial, bring out your intel and share it; I want to know more about our opponents."

The Primordial spoke.

"Our main opponents are Zhu Wu and Shen Wendao; they have forged a formidable new path, and ordinary beings who have grasped supreme power are no match for them."

"However, there's good news: neither of them has grasped supreme power."

"On their side, the one who has mastered supreme power is the Shen Qing I just mentioned; he alone commands three kinds of supreme power, but his cultivation is only at the Sacred Realm, his attack power insufficient; as long as we're careful, he cannot harm us."

"There's also Kair; his new path is ordinary, his combat ability low, and he lacks supreme power, so he's not a concern."

This intel looked very detailed, but unfortunately, it was completely wrong.

Under Shen Qing's influence, the Martial Emperor, Shen Wendao, and Kair all shared supreme power.

Moreover, Shen Qing also mastered a fourth supreme power, the power of annihilation, successfully comprehending the Supreme Lotus, making up for his deficiency in attack.

Moreover, there are more than four people; there's also Li Lun, the Heaven-defier, helping.

The unaware Xu Yun nodded satisfied: "Good, the intel is very detailed."

"If they are merely like that, then I can only say one thing."

"The advantage is mine!"

Suddenly, a deep voice came from the sky.

"They're here."

Xu Yun stood up, laughed loudly: "Since they've come, let's go greet them."

The few of them walked out of the Evil Clan's royal court at a leisurely pace.

Meanwhile, in the distant void, Shen Qing was advancing at extreme speed, his left palm clutching a supremely gorgeous Supreme Lotus; its mighty power even caused the surrounding third-layer world to continually shatter.

Shen Qing stared: "How come there are two more?"

"And one of them is human?"

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows: "Everyone, shift targets—first take out the helpers!"

As soon as his words fell, all eyes locked onto Xu Yun.

The next moment, four terrifying attacks shattered the void and shot straight at Xu Yun.

Xu Yun froze, then roared: "Hey hey hey! It's the Primordial you have a grudge against, why are you all attacking me?"

However, although he was shouting, his movements were not slow.

He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, colliding with the four-colored attacks and blasting all four to smithereens.

Xu Yun sneered: "Come on, even if you're testing me, show some sincerity; don't use these thunderous-but-rainless attacks."

Just then, Shen Qing's voice rang out: "Well said."

"So, take one of my strikes!"

At that moment, the Supreme Lotus hidden beneath the four-colored attacks fully revealed its form, approaching at a strange speed, leaving spiderweb-like cracks in the void wherever it passed.

Four-colored light reflected in Xu Yun's pupils.

Only then did he realize that the attack just now by Shen Wendao and the others was not a probe, but deliberately used such a grand display to conceal that fire lotus.

But there was no time left for him to think; the fire lotus had already reached him.

In an instant, brilliant four-colored light burst forth, and heaven and earth fell silent.

Xu Yun's figure was completely shrouded by the light, and this light wave kept expanding; in the blink of an eye it spread to a range of tens of thousands of meters.

The originally magnificent evil clan royal court completely disappeared.

Jia Lu and Yuan Chu appeared in the distance.

Jia Lu's face looked somewhat grim: "Yuan Chu! You didn't mention this move!"

Of course, it wasn't just them who were shocked; Li Lun was equally surprised.

He now feels very fortunate that he had left a bit of leeway in his words back then; otherwise, the one used to test this move's power would not have been Yuan Tie but him, Li Lun.

Not long after, the light wave dissipated, and with the fire lotus as its center, a deep pit over ten thousand meters in diameter was left on the spot.

And at the center of the pit, Xu Yun was a mess: his right leg was completely gone, his left eye a blood‑colored depression, his right hand half‑cut off, and his waist and abdomen bore three blood holes of varying sizes.

The situation was dire, but he barely clung to life; at the moment the Supreme Lotus exploded, he used the Power of Cause and Effect to shield his whole body, thereby preserving his life.

Shen Qing looked down from above at Xu Yun: "Still alive? You seem considerably stronger than that Yuan Tie."

The Martial Emperor stepped forward, and the blood‑colored domain instantly erupted: "Yuan Chu, hand him over to me!"

Shen Wendao clapped his hands, and a golden dharma manifestation rose to the heavens, wielding a giant axe as he shot straight toward the sky: "That one up there, I'll take it!"

Kai Er sprouted six flame wings from his back, and the knight captain's sword in his hand burst into flames, directly slashing toward Jia Lu.

"I'll hold onto that black thing!"

Although Jia Lu is considerably stronger than Kai Er, what Shen Qing shared with Kai Er was life force; Kai Er now has nothing else but sheer durability!

Li Lun came to Shen Qing's side: "This person is Xu Yun; his strength is not weak, let's both take him on."

But before he finished speaking, Shen Qing had already moved, his voice and strike arriving together.

"What's the point of all this talk?"

"Seize his sickness and take his life!"
