Chapter 1357: The Three-Pupiled Mysterious Fetus Great Demon King
Boom boom!
Violent energy fluctuations ravaged the Ghost Domain, and a bloody slaughter continued unabated.
Chains of black flame filled the sky, weaving through like black dragons, every now and then coiling up a human figure and, amid their desperate, shrill screams, hurling them into the fanged maw on the petals.
Fangs crunched through the body, producing the sound of spurting blood-water that echoed through the region, deepening the fear on every face present.
Fifth-rank Marquis-level powerhouses present like Qin Beiming and Zhao Xiuyuan bore tremendous pressure, because the brunt of Qin Qin Lian's attacks were aimed at them.
And facing Qin Qin Lian's assault, they could only barely protect themselves, watching helplessly as their companions beside them were continually swept away by the black flame chains, becoming flesh-and-blood nourishment for the blood-red flower bud.
Their eyes were bloodshot, their sockets nearly splitting, yet they were powerless.
Qin Qin Lian's level was far too high; she almost completely controlled the situation. Even though their side had many people, they simply could not pose any threat to her.
At this rate, being slaughtered to the last by Qin Qin Lian was only a matter of time.
An emotion of despair shrouded everyone's hearts.
And in one spot, Qin Yi gazed at this chaotic, bloody scene, her lake-clear beautiful eyes filled with anguish. In the time just past, she had already seen quite a few familiar companions from the Qin Li Tianwang line swept away by the black flame chains, hurled into the petal blood-mouth to be crunched into bloody pulp.
"Mother."
Clear tears slid down her cheek from the corner of her eye. The greatest pain in this world was none other than kin killing kin.
Although ordinarily Qin Qin Lian was extremely domineering toward her, and she greatly disliked Qin Qin Lian's ways, no matter what, they were still mother and daughter.
Qin Yi gazed into the distance, at Qin Qin Lian standing before the blood-red flower bud, hair disheveled, like a giant demon. Her pearly teeth bit through her red lips; at this moment, she knew she had to do something.
Although the current Qin Qin Lian was also not acting of her own will, if she were truly allowed to slaughter everyone here to the last, then Qin Qin Lian would bear an infamous reputation throughout the Qin Li Tianwang line and even the entire Tianyuan Outer Shenzhou.
Her prestige would plummet into the mud.
The Qin Li Tianwang line would not protect her either.
Qin Yi did not wish to see Qin Qin Lian destroy herself so thoroughly.
So she wiped the tears from the corner of her eye, no longer hesitating, and stepped out.
She was going to stop Qin Qin Lian.
"Junior Sister!"
Chu Qing beside her hurriedly grabbed her. He understood Qin Yi's feelings at this moment, and could only say with reddened eyes, his voice pained and low: "Master has already been completely corrupted, and she won't come to her senses just because of you. If you approach her now, you'll only be throwing your life away!"
Qin Yi said softly: "Even if it's throwing my life away, I still have to stop her. She is my mother; I cannot stand by and watch her walk into a dead end."
"And besides, whether for her sake or for our own survival, I need to do something, rather than just stand here watching helplessly as everything heads toward the worst possible outcome."
Having said that, her figure shot forth.
Chu Qing saw this, hesitated for several breaths, and finally gritted his teeth and also charged out. Without his protection, Qin Yi probably could not get close to Qin Qin Lian.
And amid this chaotic situation, the two of them carefully advanced, moving toward the spot where Qin Qin Lian was.
However, as the two approached, the giant blood-red flower bud behind Qin Qin Lian, because it had absorbed more and more flesh-and-blood nourishment, the color of its petals grew increasingly crimson.
Moreover, the tightly closed flower bud actually began, at this moment, to show signs of blooming little by little.
The blood-red flower bud was about to begin blooming.
Hum!
Vast blood-red light surged skyward from the center of the slightly opening flower bud. At the end of that light seemed to be a twisted blood-red pattern; the pattern pierced through the heavens and actually shot beyond the void, to the ceaselessly churning Boundary River above.
When the eerie blood pattern made contact with the Boundary River, faintly, the waters of the Boundary River there began to recede.
As if a blood bridge was about to connect the Boundary River Domain with the Boundary River.
And in the hollow of the Boundary River, suddenly, an incomparably giant eyeball appeared. Within that eyeball, three pupils slowly rotated, while emitting an indescribably terrifying aura, casting its gaze upon the entire Boundary River Domain.
At this moment, it seemed the entire Boundary River Domain trembled violently beneath that single gaze.
Outside Tianlong City.
Boom!
Vast energy swept across heaven and earth, sweeping away all the rampant evil-thought qi. The "Golden Scale Cloud Dragon Formation" above Tianlong City erupted with billions of rays of golden light.
The golden light condensed, and a golden dragon tens of thousands of zhang long descended from the sky, like a dragon mountain standing between heaven and earth, heavily suppressing a figure below.
That figure wore tattered clothes, had an enormous head, and though it looked comical, it emitted evil-thought fluctuations terrifying to the extreme.
Don't be fooled by Qin Qin Lian's rampage against Li Luo and the others; if she were thrown before this comical figure with the enormous head, her state of mind probably wouldn't be any different from Qin Beiming and the others right now.
Because this big-headed figure was unmistakably a Heteroclass King!
However, this Heteroclass King's situation was not good at this moment, because as the golden giant dragon like a mountain peak descended, it let out a wail of anguish. Its short stature swelled wildly at this moment, becoming large enough to look down upon the majestic Tianlong City ahead.
The evil-thought qi was black and viscous, even transforming into a rolling sea of evil-thought, rising to meet the golden dragon's suppression.
This stretch of heaven and earth was turned upside down because of it.
This scene made the many Marquis-level powerhouses within Tianlong City tremble with fear. Such a terrifying clash—even just a little of the aftershocks spreading out—could obliterate them completely.
This was a King-level battle!
But fortunately, looking at the current situation, the big-headed Heteroclass King was clearly being suppressed with no room to fight back. This made them feel extremely shaken, and countless gazes of awe were cast toward the aged figure standing at the top of Tianlong Pavilion within the city.
Li Li Jingzhe had not yet truly made a move; merely by activating the "Golden Scale Cloud Dragon Formation" that guarded Tianlong City, he had already suppressed the big-headed Heteraclass King.
With such a powerhouse holding the line, Tianlong City would surely come through this Black Rain Ghost Tribulation unscathed.
And beneath those countless gazes of awe, Li Li Jingzhe's expression remained calm. He gazed at the big-headed Heteroclass King gradually withering under the golden dragon's suppression—this outcome was not unexpected. After all, this Heteraclass King was only a One-Crown King realm; he was within Tianlong City and could still control the "Golden Scale Cloud Dragon Formation," so suppressing it was naturally no problem.
If there was enough time, he could even completely grind it away.
However, Li Li Jingzhe did not relax because of this. If the "Return-to-One Society" had schemed for so many years and this was all there was to it, then he would truly have to doubt the strength of this mysterious organization.
And just as Li Li Jingzhe was pondering the Return-to-One Society's follow-up move in his heart, his expression suddenly changed. At this moment he felt the world's energy throughout the entire Boundary River Domain suddenly become chaotic.
Even within the range his perception extended to, those world energies showed a trace of resistance.
This directly made Li Li Jingzhe's heart jolt. What power could actually interfere with his, a Pseudo Three-Crown King's, control over the world?
Li Li Jingzhe suddenly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the heavens, and then saw that on the vast, ceaseless Boundary River, a hollow region had appeared.
And right there, he saw that incomparably giant three-pupiled eye slowly emerge from the surging waters of the Boundary River.
In that instant, Li Li Jingzhe's heart finally surged with tumultuous waves, and for the first time, a look of being moved appeared on his aged face.
At the same time, a low, suppressed trembling sound came from his mouth.
"That is..."
"The King of the Black Yao!"
"The Three-Pupil Dark Womb Great Demon King?!!"
Li Li Jingzhe's eyes grew utterly grim at this moment.
So this was the ultimate goal of the Guiyi Society.
They actually wanted to lure in an existence comparable to a Li Tianwang-level being!
