Chapter 548

Boom!

Military orders are as firm as a mountain; though the thirty thousand elite of the Yao Court had doubts, under strict military discipline they instantly turned into streams of golden light, converging toward the Fire Dragon Emperor's Chariot above the Heavenly Dome.

However, it was already too late.

"Heh heh heh…… Shangyang, you lowly bird, since you've come down, why rush to leave? This earth's soil is far warmer than your nest in the heavens!"

A laugh filled with brutality and coarseness, like countless thunderclaps exploding simultaneously, burst forth from deep within the earth!

Boom—!!!

The land within a million li radius churned violently at this moment, like a boiling oil pot!

The towering ten‑thousand‑zhang divine mountains surrounding Luoxia Valley collapsed one after another, shattering to pieces!

Countless pitch‑black pillars of killing energy shot up into the sky, forming a gigantic bone cage that completely sealed off the entire void!

The once clear sky instantly turned into a cruel, blinding crimson!

The earth tore open into bottomless gigantic canyons, rolling turbid killing energy sweeping the heavens like a volcanic eruption.

Amidst the surging killing energy, countless bone banners tens of thousands of zhang high rose from the ground, each emblazoned with ferocious, twisted demon god visages and endless blood‑shadows of wailing spirits!

"Wu tribe killing formation?!"

Shangyang's pupils contracted sharply, and his hairs stood on end.

The void shattered inch by inch.

Within the towering blood‑black mist, three towering demonic physiques that made the void tremble stepped forward slowly.

The central figure, naked, had an upper body as strong as divine‑forged godly iron, muscles knotted like coiling dragons, with a ferocious beast totem of murderous killing energy etched upon his chest.

He held a bronze great shield in his left hand and a mountain‑splitting great axe radiating endless cold light in his right; each step he took punched a huge black hole into the void!

Great Wu, Xingtian!

To his left stood a gaunt yet mountain‑tall giant, wielding a mottled, ancient peach‑wood divine staff, his eyes blazing with golden‑yellow divine fire, striding upon two massive yellow‑spotted giant pythons.

Great Wu, Kuafu!

And to his right was a black‑robed youth bearing a huge black bow, his visage icy cold; though he exuded no violent killing aura, his gray‑white eyes were like the abyss of the Nine Underworlds, a single glance freezing one's primordial spirit!

Great Wu, Houyi!

Three top‑tier Great Wu of the Great Luo realm!

Furthermore, behind them on the earth stood tens of thousands of sturdy, ferocious Wu tribe warriors, bare‑bodied and tattooed, wielding bone spears and stone axes, shouting earth‑shaking battle cries, their vicious energy shooting straight to the ninth heaven!

"Xingtian! Kuafu! Houyi!"

Shangyang sucked in a breath of cold air, his face turning ashen.

These three are the foremost warriors under the Twelve Ancestral Wu, each possessing terrifying battle power capable of slaying a late‑stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, especially Xingtian, whose fleshly strength nears the peak of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, making him a notorious slaughter god renowned throughout the Primordial Wilds!

To deal with Shangyang alone, the Wu tribe actually deployed three supreme Great Wu at once, plus tens of thousands of elites and a pre‑laid Exterminating Spirit Blood Slaughter Great Array!

"What a grand formation!"

Shangyang forcibly suppressed his inner shock and shouted sternly, "Xingtian! His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor and the various Ancestral Wu have long‑standing edicts: the Yao rule the heavens, the Wu rule the earth, neither interferes with the other! I am merely following orders to gather ownerless gold essence; by setting an ambush here, are you openly tearing up our pact and provoking an all‑out war between our two peoples?!"

"The pact between our peoples? Fart your mother's dog‑stink!"

Xingtian fiercely slammed his bronze great axe against his shield, producing a resonant clang that shattered clouds for thousands of li!

A grim, ferocious sneer appeared on his rugged, fierce face:

"This Primordial World was created by Father God Pangu; every blade of grass, tree, stone, and drop of water on the earth is transformed from his flesh and blood—all of it belongs to our Wu tribe!"

"You lot of fur‑horned, wet‑born egg‑laying bastards, stealing our Wu tribe's possessions and still dare to bark here?!"

"Today, I will not only kill you, this lowly bird, but also use your demon‑saint's blood to sacrifice to our Wu tribe's newly erected temple!"

Before his words even faded, Xingtian's killing intent surged, giving Shangyang no chance for further talk.

"You lot! Tear them apart for me! Leave none alive!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Tens of thousands of Wu tribe warriors roared in unison, the earth trembling violently.

Boom!

Kuafu made the first move!

He slammed the seemingly ordinary peach‑wood divine staff into the ground; from beneath the earth countless gray‑black earth‑fiend earth‑dragons as thick as mountain ridges burst forth, carrying the earth‑shattering law that crushes all, surging upward to smash fiercely into the Yao army in mid‑air!

At the same time, Kuafu's massive demonic form swelled, becoming a hundred‑thousand‑zhang giant; his palm‑like huge hand blotted out the sky, bearing scorching, seething violent force as he slammed down upon Shangyang's head!

"Stars of the heavens, array to meet the enemy!"

Shangyang's face sank like water, his sleeves flying as he spat a mouthful of essence‑blood directly onto the surface of his personal treasure, the 'Shangyang Divine Umbrella,' atop his head.

Boom!

The great blue umbrella burst open, its surface flowing with starlight that turned into a vast azure river of stars, shielding all thirty thousand Yao troops within.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Kuafu's sky‑covering hand and the countless earth‑fiend earth‑dragons slammed heavily onto the azure star‑river, stirring a god‑light storm of billions of zhang; the violent recoil collapsed the void within a million‑li radius into nothingness.

"Pfft——"

Within the Great Array, hundreds of weaker Yao troops unable to withstand this terrifying pure‑flesh brute force shock had their bodies explode on the spot into blood mist!

"Shangyang, die!"

Before Shangyang could catch his breath, Xingtian's demon‑god‑like visage tore through the storm and descended across space!

Upon his ancient, heavy bronze great axe coiled an inextinguishable black apocalyptic killing aura, bearing an unstoppable, mountain‑splitting, earth‑cleaving domineering force as he hacked down at Shangyang's head!

This axe severed time and space, sealing causality!

There is no escape!

"Cry——!"

Shangyang let out a mournful crane cry to the heavens, his entire form instantly transforming into his true body—a huge divine bird wholly azure‑green, bearing a single foot.

His massive wings obscured the firmament, standing on one foot upon the azure star river, he drew upon the power of the heavenly stars, opening his mouth to spew forth a blindingly brilliant 'Nine Heavens Supreme Ultimate Divine Light', which transformed into a peerless immortal sword, rushing upward to meet it!

Clang——————!!!

The giant axe and immortal sword collided, emitting a piercing huge roar that instantly flattened the landscape for hundreds of thousands of li!

Shang Yang's Taiyi Immortal Sword, capable of piercing a small world, actually cracked inch by inch before Xing Tian's terrifyingly monstrous strength and killing aura!

The violent power surged back into the magic treasure; Shang Yang's massive demonic body, as if struck by lightning, had its azure feathers flying everywhere, his chest torn open by the axe's aftershock into a huge wound deep enough to see the bone, and the scalding blood of the demon saint poured down like a torrential rain!
