Chapter 1797: The Guiyi Hui Takes the Stage

When Jiang Li Tianwang's low, grief-stricken voice spread across the ten Outer Shenzhou, the Shenzhou Tianwangs who had been locked in fierce battle were all struck by this shocking news, their expressions shifting.

"What?!"

"Tang Li Tianwang, Lu Li Tianwang, they've all fallen?!"

"How is that possible! Tang Li Tianwang is a Divine Fruit Li Tianwang! What kind of power could have brought about their complete annihilation?!"

"What did the Tianwangs stationed at the Wang Hou battlefield encounter?!"

"..."

A storm surged in the hearts of every Shenzhou Li Tianwang. If these words had not come from Jiang Li Tianwang's mouth, they would never have believed it. After all, that Tang Li Tianwang was one of only three Divine Fruit Tianwangs in their Shenzhou world, of immense seniority and overwhelming strength.

What kind of power would be needed to suppress and slay him?

And now, when the top powers of the Dark World are almost entirely pinned down here, what other force could possibly have wiped out Tang Li Tianwang and the rest of the Tianwangs?!

This is simply absurd!

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge also paled dramatically. They exchanged a glance, each seeing the Solemnity Within the other's eyes.

"The Guiyi Hui!" The two spoke those three words in unison. At this stage of the decisive battle, only the mysterious Guiyi Hui had shown no trace and had not intervened in the clashes on Outer Shenzhou. It turned out they had gone to the Wang Hou battlefield, locking their sights on the other Tianwangs stationed there.

"Truly a festering tumor!"

Anger welled up in Li Luo's heart as well. One Divine Fruit Li Tianwang and five ordinary Tianwangs, all fallen — for the Shenzhou world, this was a grievous wound that cut to its very foundations.

He could not understand how the Guiyi Hui could act so ruthlessly. Had they truly been completely corrupted by the Dark World?

If the Guiyi Hui's Tianwangs now returned to Outer Shenzhou, then the hard-won advantages they had built up would likely be shattered once again.

At this thought, both Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge could not help but feel their hearts grow heavy.

What exactly does this Guiyi Hui want to do?

"Yin Li Tianwang!"

And while the two were seething, Jiang Li Tianwang had already let out a wrathful roar, the sound waves rolling out as if to blanket the entire world.

"I hear you."

As Jiang Li Tianwang's wrathful roar swept across the world, suddenly a faint voice rose in response. The void at the edge of the heavens rippled at this moment, as if forming a spatial vortex.

The next instant, a figure slowly emerged from the spatial vortex.

That figure radiated vast divine might. Around its neck hung an ancient bronze mask, and black flames flickered within its eye sockets. It was none other than the Guiyi Hui's Yin Li Tianwang.

As Yin Li Tianwang stepped out, several other figures radiating the might of Li Tianwang followed behind him.

They were the other Tianwangs of the Guiyi Hui.

At the moment when the Shenzhou Tianwangs and the Dark World had fought to a white-hot intensity, the Guiyi Hui had finally appeared.

"Does your Guiyi Hui truly wish to destroy the Shenzhou world?!" Jiang Li Tianwang's gaze flashed like lightning, locking onto Yin Li Tianwang and the others with wrath and menace as he spoke in a harsh voice.

Yin Li Tianwang's eyelids drooped slightly, paying no heed.

"Yin Li Tianwang, you have done well, you have not betrayed our cooperation." At this moment, the Great Demon King Ming Hou spoke with a smile, and the look it gave Yin Li Tianwang and the others also softened.

"Rest assured, once my Dark World occupies Outer Shenzhou, I will surely grant your Guiyi Hui a place to survive."

The Great Demon King Ming Hou had not expected the Guiyi Hui to strike so viciously, directly wiping out all the Tianwangs the Shenzhou world had left stationed at the Wang Hou battlefield. With this, the balance of power between the two sides had undoubtedly tilted enormously.

Then now, all it needed was to summon the Great Demon Kings previously dispatched to the Wang Hou battlefield, such as the "Great Demon King You Gui," and this battle of unification would be won by the Dark World.

At this thought, the Great Demon King Ming Hou prepared to issue the summoning.

However, its summoning cry spread through layer upon layer of space, yet received no response whatsoever.

The smile on the Great Demon King Ming Hou's face slowly froze. The next moment, its perception flowed outward, and it discovered that the Great Demon Kings it had sent to attack the Wang Hou battlefield, including the Divine Fruit Great Demon King You Gui... their auras had also completely vanished.

"Yin Li Tianwang, where are You Gui and the others?" The Great Demon King Ming Hou's gaze grew increasingly cold and dark.

Yin Li Tianwang's expression remained flat as he said, "Naturally, they have contributed their strength for the sake of our cooperative purpose."

The Great Demon King Ming Hou was furious. World-destroying demonic might churned, causing layer upon layer of the void to collapse. It said in a sinister voice, "Your Guiyi Hui actually dares to suppress and slay even them?!"

Jiang Li Tianwang was also taken aback upon seeing this. The Great Demon King You Gui and the others from the Dark World had also been wiped out by the Guiyi Hui? Do Yin Li Tianwang and his people truly treat everyone equally?

But what puzzled Jiang Li Tianwang even more was how the Guiyi Hui could possess such power, enough to suppress and slay the Tianwangs of both Outer Shenzhou and the Dark World.

One had to realize that between these two sides, there was one Divine Fruit Li Tianwang, one Divine Fruit Great Demon King, and over a dozen other Tianwangs besides.

Such a lineup and such power had long since far surpassed the Guiyi Hui!

What gave them the ability to swallow it all?

Facing the furious Great Demon King Ming Hou, Yin Li Tianwang merely smiled faintly and said, "As long as the ultimate objective can be achieved, their sacrifice is worth it, is it not?"

A dark shade flowed through the Great Demon King Ming Hou's pupils. It stared fixedly at Yin Li Tianwang, only now understanding why the other party had come seeking cooperation with them. It was to let the Dark World pin down the Tianwangs of the Shenzhou world, while they could slip into the Wang Hou battlefield and scheme against the Tianwangs of both sides.

Finally, the Great Demon King Ming Hou's fury gradually subsided, and a sinister smile surfaced as it nodded slightly.

"What you say is also correct."

The so-called ultimate objective was naturally to lure their lord, the "Source of All Evil," into the world.

The Great Demon King Ming Hou believed that the moment the "Source of All Evil" appeared in the world, everything would come to an end. Whether Shenzhou Tianwangs or the Guiyi Hui, before its lord, they would all be nothing more than ants.

This era no longer had a figure like the legendary sect master of the Wuxiang Holy Sect.

Therefore, as long as the "Source of All Evil" appeared, this war that had stretched on for countless endless years would end with the Dark World's total victory.

"Then, what do you intend to do next?" the Great Demon King Ming Hou said slowly.

Hearing this, Yin Li Tianwang stepped aside, and the Xu Li Tianwang and others behind him also deferentially made way. From the spatial vortex behind them, a black coffin slowly drifted out.

Then it hung silently suspended in the heavens.

And when this black coffin appeared, the entire world seemed to fall silent.

A pressure that defied description settled over the hearts of all living beings. Even Li Tianwang-level powerhouses inexplicably felt their bodies grow heavy, as if above the supreme tier of existence, another layer of shackles had been added.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge also stared fixedly at that black coffin.

They noticed carefully that the ancient sealing divine inscriptions that had originally existed on the black coffin had now completely vanished.

Moreover, the slight crack that had originally been open on the coffin had instead fully closed at this moment.

Li Luo's heart jolted violently.

Because only now did he realize that among the figures of the Return-to-One Assembly, he had not seen "Li Li Lingjing's" figure... she had originally been the power vessel for the "Pseudo Ten-Rank Silent Extinction Phase."

The next instant, as if he had understood something, his gaze suddenly turned toward the black coffin.

Could it be...

Did she go in?!
