Chapter 1785: Void Exile
The moment Li Li Jingzhe's body transformed into a bamboo grove to seal the Three-Eyed Fetal Great Demon King, far away on the White Spirit Outer Shenzhou, the massive body of the "Golden-Winged Sky Dragon" — formed by the fusion of Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan — showed a momentary stagnation.
"Father."
The Golden-Winged Sky Dragon's dragon eyes gazed toward the direction of the Polar Night Outer Shenzhou. After all, the two were father and son, their bloodline connection running deepest, so Li Taixuan sensed at the first instant that Li Li Jingzhe's aura had vanished from the world at this moment.
And what vanished along with it was the aura of a Great Demon King.
Presumably that Three-Eyed Fetal Great Demon King.
Li Li Jingzhe transformed his own rank into a seal, suppressing the Three-Eyed Fetal Great Demon King for several hundred years, and when that seal finally ended, Li Li Jingzhe's own rank would also be worn away completely.
Li Li Jingzhe clearly understood that he could not completely restrain the Three-Eyed Fetal Great Demon King, and so he chose this method directly.
That cold, stern old man, from beginning to end, was always using his own way to shelter his descendants.
"Taixuan, don't grieve. As long as in the end the Outer Shenzhou world wins this War of Return-to-One, we can help Father break the seal ahead of time. So long as his rank hasn't been completely worn away, he can survive." Dantai Lan's gentle voice rose at this moment, soothing Li Taixuan's heavy heart.
"Yes."
Li Taixuan sighed softly, but winning this War of Return-to-One would not be easy.
He raised his dragon head, his dragon eyes gazing at the void ahead. There, between the massive palms of the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King, appeared a giant bone spear burning with black flames. The Divine Fruit rank power surging on the spear made even the "Golden-Winged Sky Dragon" — formed by their fusion at this moment — feel a bone-piercing chill.
With the augmentation of the Black Sun, the oppressive pressure brought by this "Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King" was also growing ever more terrifying.
"Wife, this thing's Divine Fruit rank is too ferocious. I feel that even if we drag this out until our lifespans burn out completely, we probably won't be able to suppress it," Li Taixuan said.
"Mm."
Dantai Lan had naturally long known this point: "But we can't give up. Now that the 'Primordial Divine Ruins Demon-Subduing Array' has already begun repairing the world-wall rifts, if we collapse here and release the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King, then the situation across the entire Outer Shenzhou will fall apart."
"When that happens, Xiao Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge's side will also be affected."
Her voice paused, she was briefly silent, then said: "So, let's use our final measure. This war is more brutal than we imagined. There's no way to hold anything back now."
Li Taixuan fell silent for several breaths upon hearing this, then finally smiled: "Fine. Even Father dares to stake it all, how could we shrink back."
Boom!
And at this moment, the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King had already shattered the void and arrived. The white-bone giant spear pierced through the heavens, carrying the vast, surging power of the Destruction Divine Fruit rank, slashing toward the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon.
"Leave those bones of yours behind to serve as this seat's bone materials!" Its greedy voice rang out in response.
The massive Golden-Winged Sky Dragon's dragon eyes reflected the demonic shadow of the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King, yet it did not dodge. Instead, resolve surfaced in its eyes, and it suddenly beat its wings and charged forward to meet it.
Mountain-like dragon claws flowed with vast rank power, clawing toward that white-bone giant spear.
Sizzle!
But the power surging on the white-bone giant spear was too terrifying — even the dragon claws could not close around it. So the spear tip pierced down through the void, directly punching clean through the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon's massive body.
Golden dragon blood poured down like a storm, splashing across this stretch of heaven and earth.
Where the dragon blood landed, all matter began to grow fine, dense purple-gold dragon scales, transforming into strange treasures.
The Golden-Winged Sky Dragon let out a pained roar, but not only did it not retreat, it instead drove its massive dragon body to surge upward, coiling around the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King's enormous demonic frame.
The next moment, the surrounding space suddenly began to collapse in a bizarre manner.
Layer upon layer of space was like a kaleidoscope, stacked upon stacked, continuously collapsing, finally transforming into a spatial void. That void was like a passage to the end of the void — once one fell into it, one would be buried by countless chaotic-layer spaces, never to return to the Outer Shenzhou world.
Under the scouring of those surging spatial chaotic currents, even a Li Li Tianwang would face the peril of falling.
"You actually want to exile me into the depths of the chaotic-layer space?!" At this moment, the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King also detected Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan's scheme, and was immediately somewhat shocked and furious. If it truly fell into those spatial depths, even a Divine Fruit Li Li Tianwang would have much of its rank worn away.
But in doing so, Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan would likewise pay a terrible price.
The Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King drove its Divine Fruit rank, trying to break free, but the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon's dragon claws and golden wings held it tightly bound at this moment. Even as its flesh and blood were torn, it did not relax in the slightest.
And at this moment, the enormous spatial void was like a colossal beast capable of devouring the world, slowly opening wide. In the deepest part of the void seemed to be endless nothingness and gloom.
In the end, the massive bodies of both the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon and the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King were dragged into it, gradually vanishing.
Just as they were about to fall completely into the spatial void, Li Taixuan said tenderly in his heart: "Wife, don't be afraid. I'm with you."
This killing move called "Void Exile" could only be activated with Dantai Lan's spatial phase as the primary force, and Li Taixuan knew that although Dantai Lan usually appeared bold and dashing, freely commanding space, deep down she was actually very afraid of those depths of chaotic void — that place was desolate, oppressive, dark, enough to drive one mad.
But now that the Outer Shenzhou faced life or death, Dantai Lan still forcibly swallowed the fear in her heart and activated this "Void Exile."
"Who, who's afraid? You're the one who's afraid!"
Dantai Lan was talking tough in her heart, somewhat lacking in conviction.
"Haha, alright, alright, I'm the one who's afraid. Then wife, you'll have to stay with me," Li Taixuan laughed.
And as the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon's dragon eyes were about to be swallowed by the void, Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan both cast their final gazes toward the Eastern Domain Outer Shenzhou and the Ten Thousand Wind Outer Shenzhou guarded by Jiang Jiang Qinge.
"Xiao Luo, Jiang Jiang Qinge, don't worry about us. The road ahead will require you two to walk it with strength."
In the end, the massive bodies of the Golden-Winged Sky Dragon and the Ten Thousand Bones Great Demon King were completely swallowed by the spatial void, vanishing from above the White Spirit Outer Shenzhou.
Ten Thousand Wind Outer Shenzhou.
In a city where streams of people flowed endlessly, its human atmosphere boiling with prosperity.
Jiang Jiang Qinge stood on the street holding the Sacred Phoenix Umbrella, her delicate Bai Xi features calmly watching the coming and going of the crowd. Unlike the fierce great wars erupting between the other Outer Shenzhous, the Great Demon King she faced here was bizarrely unusual.
Because even now, Jiang Jiang Qinge had still not discovered any trace of the true body of that Divine Fruit Great Demon King.
And while Jiang Jiang Qinge stood still, within that flowing crowd, the eyeball of one figure suddenly changed. Upon close observation, one would find that deep within its pupil seemed to be hidden another eyeball. That deeply hidden eyeball, with a strange and sinister air, was sizing up Jiang Jiang Qinge.
That figure followed the flow of the crowd, approaching Jiang Jiang Qinge step by step.
However, just when it was only a few steps away from Jiang Jiang Qinge, suddenly sacred light blazed forth. The Sacred Phoenix Umbrella transformed into a spear-rainbow that pierced through, directly punching through that figure, while at the same time nailing its form firmly to a Shi Zhu standing beside the street.
The sudden incident caused great chaos on the street. Passing pedestrians showed fear on their faces and fled in all directions.
Jiang Jiang Qinge expressionlessly walked toward that figure, and the latter had already stopped struggling. Its eye sockets slowly caved in, black liquid flowing out, while at the same time a faint, soft laugh rose from some unknown place.
When this laugh rang out, within this city, suddenly one figure after another walked straight toward Jiang Jiang Qinge.
The eyes of those figures, as they walked, suddenly began to cave inward, their eye sockets empty, as if swallowed by some bizarre thing.
Vast light rank power swept out from within Jiang Jiang Qinge, purifying those figures into green smoke in an instant.
"Thousand-Eye Great Demon King."
She murmured softly. The Great Demon King entangled with her was precisely Thousand-Eye, one of the ten great Divine Fruit Great Demon Kings.
"Have I fallen into their Fruit God Realm...?"
Jiang Jiang Qinge looked up at this sky and earth; the opponent's methods were exceedingly strange—unbeknownst to her, they had already expanded the Fruit God Realm across the Ten Thousand Winds Outer Shenzhou, and clearly harbored the mindset of a cat playing with a mouse, intending to devour every living being's eyes beneath her very gaze.
Moreover, Jiang Jiang Qinge sensed that as more living beings' eyes were consumed, the power of this Fruit God Realm grew stronger in tandem.
Jiang Jiang Qinge furrowed her delicate brows; the opponent was indeed difficult to deal with—even with the aid of the Light Heart, she could not truly locate their true form.
This could not be a lasting solution.
Just as Jiang Jiang Qinge was pondering a way to break the deadlock, her heart suddenly trembled violently; she instantly snapped her head up, her gaze shooting toward the direction of White Spirit Outer Shenzhou, her eyes instantly turning blood-red.
For in that instant, she sensed the collapse of Li Tai Zhu Xuan and Dan Tai Lan's positional fluctuations.
"Father! Mother!"
Jiang Jiang Qinge tightly gripped the Holy Phoenix Umbrella, her pale hands showing raised blue veins, and she understood—Li Tai Zhu Xuan and Dan Tai Lan must have been forced to employ some extreme measure against the Fruit God Demon King.
In this moment, a wave of fury surged from her heart like a tidal flood.
Creak.
A sound of immense pressure emanated from her grip on the Holy Phoenix Umbrella.
Jiang Jiang Qinge gradually calmed her emotions; on her exquisitely beautiful face emerged an icy chill that induced an inexplicable sense of oppression, and her eyes slowly closed.
The next instant, they snapped open.
Her golden irises blazed with brilliance.
In her eyes, only the pupils had previously been golden—but now, the golden light within the pupils began to radiate outward, slowly staining the sclera.
In mere seconds.
Jiang Jiang Qinge's pupils had completely transformed into gold.
Golden eyes, like those of a deity, emitted an unprecedented, terrifying oppression.
Faintly, it seemed as if they were beginning to touch the limit beyond the ninth rank.
【80】 Faintly, it seemed as if they were beginning to touch the limit beyond the ninth rank.
【80】 Faintly, it seemed as if they were beginning to touch the limit beyond the ninth rank.
