Chapter 507: The Shattered Demon Seal
"Langya Palace Master, our Evil Clan will definitely not let you go!"
"Boom!"
Along with the roar filled with endless resentment from the Tianhuang Mysterious Demon Emperor, a mountain-like, towering Ice Spear appeared beneath the freezing heavens, and opposing it was the former's body and life force, which had been shattered into Xuwu.
"Uh..."
"You've got to be kidding!"
The Ice Emperor, who had sensed the commotion from afar, saw this scene, his eyes filled with lingering astonishment, and his offensive momentum faltered; those were two Mysterious Demon Emperors!
A quarter of an hour ago, Xiao Han was still trading blows with the opponent; how did it turn into this in the blink of an eye...
If the Ice Emperor was merely surprised, his opponents, the three Demon Emperors of the Evil Clan, were struck with terror.
The strength of the two Mysterious Demon Emperors was beyond doubt, and the existence capable of cleanly and swiftly slaughtering them...
"Retreat!"
The three exchanged a glance, taking advantage of the Ice Emperor's moment of distraction to unleash their strongest attacks to force him back, then turned to flee.
"Want to leave?"
The Ice Emperor, who had been left somewhat disheveled by the Demon Emperors' sudden assault, keenly sensed their intent; his expression turned cold, and he poured Spirit Power frantically into the long whip in his hand, which moved as nimbly as a snake, splitting into three.
"Whoosh!"
The whip shadows were heavy, piercing through space and appearing behind the three like ghosts, dragging them back by force.
The next instant, a voice tinged with coldness echoed behind the three like the whisper of the Grim Reaper,
"You all shall stay here today for this Emperor."
This battlefield was not an isolated case; the other two battlefields, upon discovering the change in the war, also fell into a state where the Demon Emperors were desperate to escape at any cost, while the others spared no effort to delay them.
Everyone knew deeply that the moment Xiao Han freed his hands and turned his gaze toward the other battlefields, there would only be one outcome.
Standing in the sky, Xiao Han, his black hair turned completely white, watched the other ongoing battles with a detached expression, several Ice Spears condensing behind him, faintly freezing the space within a radius of several hundred miles.
"Boom!"...
Six spears, not one more, not one less!
Five of them pierced through the five Demon Emperors, carrying the force of a landslide, and nailed them heavily into the solid ground; frost and snow drifted, gradually filling the bottomless pit below.
The final spear landed within Barbarian King City; the moment it fell, the cold energy gathered at the spear tip erupted suddenly, and with the spear as the center, a wave of coldness swept through the city in an instant, bringing an icy seal to the world.
The great array was lifted, and not a single member of the Outer Realm Evil Clan army trapped within survived; countless ice sculptures preserved the final movements of their lives.
Silence!
A deathly silence!
"Is it over?"
Yang Ling, who had fallen into silence due to Xiao Han's thunderous methods, stared blankly at the frozen continent beneath his feet, when suddenly, a light, cold breeze blew past.
"Hiss!"
He couldn't stop himself from shivering, looking in shock at Xiao Han, who seemed to take everything for granted from beginning to end.
Seven Ice Spears were inverted into the earth, resembling seven snow peaks, connected to each other and forming a mountain range that stretched endlessly, combined with the sculptures at the foot of the mountains...
If someone unaware saw this scene, they might mistake this continent for the territory of the Ice Spirit Clan, right?
Immediately, his habit as an Elder of the Langya Heavenly Palace flared up, and he pondered the possibility of transforming this battlefield ruin into a tourist attraction, developing what his own Palace Master had once mentioned...
Tourism?
Such a miracle that rivaled the might of heaven with human power was rare even in the entire Great Thousand World, and he believed many would be willing to pay homage to such methods up close.
Subsequently, his thoughts expanded further; such a scene was proof of his own Palace Master's strength!
In other words, it was powerful evidence of the strength of the Langya Heavenly Palace; if publicized, it should be able to attract quite a few arrogant young geniuses, right?
The four gathered once more, Xiao Han's black hair restored, his complexion showing a distinctly sickly pallor,
"You were too reckless!"
Seeing this, the Ice Emperor couldn't help but frown, reaching out to support Xiao Han's figure, which was on the verge of collapsing to the ground.
As early as when he saw the head of white hair on Xiao Han's back, he knew that Xiao Han had activated a method to boost his strength, which was why he could kill two Mysterious Demon Emperors in such a short time.
It must be said that the words of the Tianhuang Mysterious Demon Emperor had indeed become a death warrant; the Dou Qi Continent was an untouchable Forbidden area in Xiao Han's heart, the location of his reverse scale.
Originally, Xiao Han had only treated the war with Barbarian King City as a war of attrition and a blood-letting trough, preparing to erode the forces of Barbarian King City bit by bit, which might have lasted for several months or even a year or two.
However, upon learning that the Outer Realm Evil Clan was preparing to make a move against the Dou Qi Continent, this mindset changed immediately, and he prepared to finish the battle in one go, resolving his future worries at once, even if it meant paying a certain price.
The Ice Emperor naturally understood the deep meaning behind Xiao Han's reckless behavior and did not say much.
"You don't need to make a move this month; after this battle, I believe the Outer Realm Evil Clan will also be well-behaved for a while."
Xiao Han started to speak but stopped, yet the Ice Emperor seemed to have anticipated it in advance,
"I will arrange the subsequent matters; once you have recovered, set off for the Dou Qi Continent immediately."
"No need to rush; didn't you say there is that excellent junior of yours in the Dou Qi Continent?"
"You should trust him."
"Then I will trouble you."
Hearing this, Xiao Han set his mind at ease, crushed a Jade Pendant, and teleported away.
Afterward, the Ice Emperor also began to issue orders,
"Are you two satisfied with today?"
"Supreme Elder, the most urgent matter should be to seal the news, right?"
Liu Qingyang and the other were also quick-witted people; the two strongest individuals of the Langya Heavenly Palace having to leave the Langya Heavenly Palace would inevitably cause a great weakening of the sect's power, and Xiao Han had done such a major thing today; if the news were to spread and attract the attention of the experts of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The only plan now was to bury this batch of the Outer Realm Evil Clan entirely and seal the news for a short time; perhaps only then could the arrival of the crisis be delayed.
"No need."
Unexpectedly, the Ice Emperor denied it:
"The Outer Realm Evil Clan must have already received news of these few Demon Emperors' deaths by now."
The Outer Realm Evil Clan, the Man Mo Clan.
In a certain training ground, a tall, muscular humanoid creature stood in the center of the arena, raising both arms high and letting out a "Roar! Roar!" sound, while a group of creatures that looked clearly not to be trifled with lay scattered all around.
"Who else wants to come and try this Clan Leader's iron fists?"
The person speaking was none other than the Man Mo Clan Clan Leader; he had just finished his daily routine exercise and was feeling extremely pleased.
At this moment, a figure strode in from outside, looking flustered.
"Clan Leader, it's bad... it's really bad!"
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Is that bastard, the Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor, preparing to make us go fight to the death with the forces of the Great Thousand World again? Or is one of the old fogies in the clan about to kick the bucket?"
The Man Mo Clan Clan Leader's tone was full of nonchalance.
"Clan Leader, Elder Tianhuang and the others... have fallen!"
The person who arrived presented a tray of shattered talismans; there were exactly seven of them, no more, no less.
"What?"
The Man Mo Clan Clan Leader's relaxed expression changed abruptly.
"Did I not order Tianhuang and the others to watch over that Langya Heavenly Palace in the Barbarian King City?"
"Two Mysterious Demon Emperors and five Ghost Demon Emperors—even if a Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign from the Great Thousand World took action, they shouldn't have been unable to even escape, right?"
"This subordinate... does not know."
Feeling the monstrous demonic might radiating from the Clan Leader due to his anger, the subordinate trembled and honestly reported what he had seen with his own eyes.
"The time interval between the shattering of the seven lords' demonic marks was extremely short, totaling no more than half a quarter of an hour; the demonic marks of Lord Qianfeng and Lord Tianhuang shattered one after the other, while the other five lords' marks shattered almost simultaneously."
The Man Mo Clan Leader used his not-so-large brain to think; there were many ways to kill Tianhuang and the others in such a short time, the simplest and most direct of which would be a siege by a large number of powerhouses of the same level or having a powerhouse with strength comparable to his own take action personally.
But as an emerging force, the only powerhouses the Langya Heavenly Palace had were those two troublesome Palace Masters and the Supreme Elder; let alone an Immortal Array Master paired with a Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign, even two peak Heavenly Sovereigns could not achieve such a feat.
"Could it be that some other powerhouse took action?"
This was the only possibility.
"Pass the word down: except for those in closed-door cultivation, all Demon Emperor-level powerhouses are to assemble in the main hall."
"Also, have this Clan Leader thoroughly investigate exactly what kind of sacred entity that Langya Heavenly Palace is."
"Uh..."
The subordinate hesitated to speak.
The Man Mo Clan Leader sensed something unusual and said in a deep voice:
"Why haven't you left yet?"
"Clan Leader, have you forgotten?"
The subordinate cautiously reminded him:
"Clan Leader, weren't the idle Demon Emperor powerhouses all sent by you to that Dou Qi Continent?"
"As of now, apart from the lords who are stationed abroad or guarding our clan's territory, only you and the elders in closed-door cultivation remain in the clan."
"This..."
The Man Mo Clan Leader was dumbfounded; only then did he suddenly realize that he, who sat atop the Man Mo Clan with over thirty Demon Emperors—a force sufficient to rank among the best of the Sanshier Dazhu of the Outer Realm Evil Clan—actually had no one left to use!
