Chapter 904: Confronting Cao Tian

Cao Tian's cold voice had just fallen.

Beneath the Nine Nether Asura Mask, a flash of Spiritual Power radiance suddenly flickered within a pair of beautiful eyes.

Her figure flashed, appearing before Cao Tian like a ghost.

Scarlet Asura Power swirled around one of her slender, delicate palms, and her five fingers, delicate as jade, formed a claw shape and struck out.

The tips of her fingers shimmered with a sharp edge that made one's heart turn cold.

Cao Tian clearly had not expected Nine Nether to strike so decisively; his expression tightened as he hurriedly gathered his power to condense a defense.

Boom!

Amidst a booming sound, the defensive power Cao Tian had hurriedly condensed shattered, and his entire body was sent flying backward.

Nine Nether was about to continue her attack.

Several sounds of breaking through the air arrived one after another.

Five figures blocked Nine Nether's path of attack.

Boom!

Amidst another booming sound, Nine Nether's figure faltered, and her momentum of pursuit was halted.

The five figures were all shaken back simultaneously.

Seeing this scene, apart from the Youzhou Cultivators, the Cultivators from the other seven continents all revealed expressions of astonishment.

Those five figures were all Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators from the Ancient God Palace.

Ancient God Palace Cultivators were famous for their powerful offensive capabilities; yet now, with the five of them joining forces, they had actually been repelled by this Nine Nether single-handedly!

This Nine Nether, her strength is truly formidable!

She likely possesses the combat power of the Leader Stage!

Thinking of this.

The expressions of the Leaders from each continent as they looked at Nine Nether were all filled with gravity.

Just as Nine Nether repelled the five Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators of the Ancient God Palace, Cao Tian had already steadied his figure.

At his chest, his clothes were torn, and he was dripping with blood.

He looked at his chest, and his expression instantly turned gloomy.

Raising his head to look at Nine Nether, intense killing intent surged in his eyes, "Bitch, you are courting death!"

Nine Nether looked at Cao Tian, killing intent also flickering in her eyes.

"Hmph, what kind of skill is it to bully the few with the many."

Just at this moment, Yuan Xiuya's figure flashed, appearing behind Nine Nether, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at Cao Tian and the others.

Behind him, figures flashed out one after another; they were all Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

In a short moment, all the Beast Taming Sect Disciples appeared behind Nine Nether.

"Comparing numbers with us?"

Seeing this, Cao Tian sneered.

Following his sneer, the aura of over seventy percent of the Cultivators on the Cangzhou side expanded outward.

The Ancient God Palace dominated Cangzhou.

Over seventy percent of the Cultivators in the Cangzhou team came from the Ancient God Palace.

This Beast Taming Sect actually dared to compare numbers with them?

Ridiculous!

As the group of Ancient God Palace Cultivators released their aura, Nine Nether and the group of Beast Taming Sect Disciples were instantly suppressed, like a lone boat in the middle of the ocean, appearing as if they could capsize at any moment.

The disparity in numbers between the two sides was too great.

In the Youzhou team.

Yaoguang frowned upon seeing this scene.

"Sacred Palace Disciples, follow me and attack!"

Once her voice fell, her figure flashed, appearing behind Nine Nether.

The group of Sacred Palace Disciples were stunned at the sight.

They did not understand why Yaoguang would take the initiative to wade into these muddy waters.

However, as the number one genius of the Sacred Palace, Yaoguang held immense prestige among the Sacred Palace Disciples.

After hesitating for a moment, the group of Sacred Palace Disciples ultimately gritted their teeth and chose to follow.

The next moment.

Dozens of Sacred Palace Disciples left their team one after another, appearing behind Nine Nether to stand in opposition to Cao Tian and the others.

But even with these people from the Sacred Palace added, Nine Nether's side still remained at a massive disadvantage in numbers.

The situation had not changed in the slightest.

Cao Tian looked at Yaoguang and the other Sacred Palace Disciples, a sneer appearing on his face, "I didn't expect there to be others rushing out to court death!"

"Since that is the case, I, Cao, will grant your wish."

"Fellow junior brothers, follow me and kill this bunch of ignorant fools."

After speaking.

He slowly floated upward.

The five Ninth-Order Will Stage Cultivators beside him and the majority of the Cultivators in the Cangzhou team followed and floated into the air together.

At the same time, they erupted with power, locking onto Nine Nether and the others.

The Leaders of the other continents watched this scene, their gazes flickering constantly, but no one spoke.

The Cangzhou side appeared to be a team composed of one continent, but in reality, everything was decided by the Ancient God Palace.

The Leader of Youzhou, Wan Guiyuan, has already fallen.

There is no need for them to offend Cao Tian for the sake of a dead man.

Furthermore...

The Youzhou side has already lost its Leader; if the Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace are also wiped out here,

Youzhou's competitiveness will be completely lost, and at that time, they will only be forced to become vassals to the seven continents.

If the Outer Realm Battlefield is conquered, more than half of the battle merits originally belonging to the Youzhou side will be divided among the seven continents.

One only needs to watch from the sidelines to reap the benefits.

Why not do it?

Seeing that the situation was on the verge of breaking out.

A voice suddenly rang out.

"Tsk tsk, quite lively, isn't it?"

"Would it be alright if you added this Wan to the mix?"

As the voice echoed, two figures flew over from the distance at an astonishing speed, appearing above Jiuyou and the others in the blink of an eye.

They formed a standoff against Cao Tian and the other Cultivators from the Ancient God Palace.

"Wan Guiyuan!"

Seeing the leading man among the two, the gazes of Qingshui and the other Leaders of the various continents flickered one after another.

This Wan Guiyuan actually didn't die!

At the same time.

Cao Tian could not help but exclaim aloud, "Wan Guiyuan, you actually didn't die!"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Cao Tian indifferently, "Why, is Daoist Friend Cao disappointed that this Wan is not dead?"

Cao Tian's expression flickered for a moment, his heart filled with confusion.

That sea of fire was incomparably powerful.

Wan Guiyuan had been swept into it, yet he had not been killed!

Not only that.

Even Lu Xiu, who only had Eighth-tier Will Stage cultivation, had actually survived!

What on earth was going on here?

Could it be that there was some unknown source of life within that sea of fire that these two had found?

Damn it!

Was their luck not a bit too good?

Jiuyou's cold gaze flickered, a hint of pleasant surprise rising within, and with a flash of movement, she appeared beside Wang Jianqiang, "Daoist Friend Wan, it is great that you are alright."

Wang Jianqiang smiled at Jiuyou, then nodded toward Yaoguang.

Yaoguang nodded in return.

Because there were many eyes around, she did not reveal any overly obvious emotional changes.

Moreover.

She had a Soul Imprint left by Wang Jianqiang within her Soul, which allowed her to perceive Wang Jianqiang's life or death.

She was the only person present who had been certain from beginning to end that Wang Jianqiang was not dead.

She did not feel too surprised by Wang Jianqiang's appearance.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Cao Tian and the many aggressive figures behind Cao Tian.

He then looked at Jiuyou, and behind Jiuyou, the mere hundred or so people belonging to the Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace.

His gaze shifted once more, landing on the main force of the Youzhou team.

A cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone, it seems I already gave you instructions before I left..."

"When I am not present, everything is to be obeyed according to Jiuyou's commands!"

"Just now, apart from the people of the Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace, why did no one support Jiuyou?"

"Is this how you execute my orders?"

His voice was gentle and calm, with no joy or anger detectable.

But the moment they heard his voice.

The heartbeats of the group of Youzhou Cultivators all skipped a beat in unison.

The name Wan Guiyuan had long been notorious in Youzhou.

First on the Spirit Ranking, physical strength so formidable that he fought three Spirit Transformation prodigies alone without being defeated, causing chaos in the Youyun Holy Land...

Every single thing he had done was more astonishing than the last.

Cultivators from other continents might not know much about him, but every Youzhou Cultivator present knew the deeds of Wan Guiyuan by heart.

They knew this Wan Guiyuan's character well.

To describe it in eight words, that would be...

Formidable strength, daring and reckless.
