Chapter 1579: Battle Begins

At this moment, the Underworld God's heart was also somewhat excited.

After chasing Ye Liuyun for so long, I finally trapped him.

Seeing the three treasures of the Nether Realm, he was about to collect them all!

As for whether Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao were traitors, and how many Yin Souls Ye Liuyun had in his hand, he didn't care too much.

At worst, just kill them all.

He believed that with his cultivation level, no one could stop him from killing Ye Liuyun and seizing the treasure.

The Underworld God eagerly brought his warship and rushed to the outside of Ye Liuyun's formation flag.

Bringing all the Yin Souls, he disembarked from the warship.

With the formation blocking his view, he could not see Ye Liuyun.

But he could clearly sense that Ye Liuyun was inside this formation.

He was still feeling the presence of the Death Mark for the first time at such close range.

Ye Liuyun was also seeing the Underworld God's true form for the first time.

The last time he saw it was a projection avatar of the Underworld God.

On the surface, they seemed no different.

But it was obvious that the Underworld God's true form was stronger, the yin qi around him denser; even without the Golden Pupil, his face could not be made out clearly.

However, Ye Liuyun, upon seeing the Underworld God now, was no longer as fearful as before.

On the contrary, he felt some contempt for the Underworld God.

It was not contempt for his cultivation level, but for his character.

Just because the Underworld God cooperated with the Foreign Tribe, Ye Liuyun looked down on him.

"No matter how strong the cultivation level, what can it do!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

He carefully scanned the Underworld God's cultivation level and discovered that the Underworld God's True Essence far surpassed that of ordinary Yin Souls.

"Those who can be called Divine Realm experts probably have their bloodline, soul, cultivation level and all other powers reaching Divine Rank!"

Ye Liuyun was still considering whether, if he released all his Divine Realm power and attracted heavenly thunder, he would end up perishing together with the Underworld God.

He also had to guard against the Underworld God pulling this trick on him at the brink of death, lest he be trapped again.

At this moment, the Underworld God and his companions were outside the formation, yet they could see nothing.

However, the Underworld God could discern the formation generated by the formation flag, preventing the Yin Souls from approaching.

"Ye Liuyun, I myself have come out personally; do you really want to fight me?"

"If you directly offer up the treasure, I will consider sparing your life!"

The Underworld God first unleashed a Soul Attack Technique.

Actually, during the previous period, Ye Liuyun had been leading him around like walking a dog, and he had long wished to tear Ye Liuyun to pieces.

&

But he still had to put on a show, observing courtesy before resorting to force.

Ye Liuyun heard this and laughed: "Haha, it's the first time I've heard someone speak of killing and seizing treasure with such righteousness! I'll also give you a chance—kneel down, kowtow, admit your mistake, and I'll consider letting you see the treasure."

He was deliberately provoking the Underworld God.

Originally, there was nothing for them to say; they could just go straight into battle!

And the angrier the Underworld God became, the more he would lose reason and make mistaken judgments.

"You're courting death!"

Indeed, the Underworld God became angry.

As the mighty ruler of the Nether Hell, a Divine Realm expert, being thus insulted before countless Yin Souls by a petty Martial Cultivator, how could he possibly save face!

"I will imprison your Yin Soul in Purgatory, making you suffer eternally from the flames of Purgatory!"

The Underworld God shouted.

Ye Liuyun, hearing this threat, felt nothing in particular.

But Yan Tu and Gui Shou Yi Dao, upon hearing it, felt their hearts tremble.

They had experienced the terror of the Purgatory flames.

Thus they also secretly resolved that this time they must succeed.

If they could not kill the Underworld God and he counterattacked, they also resolutely could not allow themselves to be captured alive by him!

The Underworld God then waved his hand at his subordinates, and nearly half of the Yin Souls rushed toward the formation.

Seeing the Underworld God first test with Yin Souls, Ye Liuyun did not rush; instead he released the Metal Puppets to cooperate with the formation and attack those Yin Souls.

Both sides were probing with insignificant forces, and thus the battle commenced.

The Underworld God never expected that Ye Liuyun's first round would not even use Yin Souls, merely employing some puppets for defense.

Ye Liuyun, however, clearly understood the power of the formation flag, especially the power of fire, which Qiong Qi excelled at.

And fire's restraining effect on these Yin Souls was the strongest.

Furthermore, his puppets had been repeatedly trained and battle-tested, working in seamless coordination and being highly familiar with defending against bows and crossbows.

Thus after one round, those Yin Souls that came to attack the formation suffered heavy casualties and were driven back.

These Yin Souls were not high in cultivation to begin with, so repelling them was quite easy.

Seeing this, the Underworld God also knew that if he did not act, those Yin Souls would certainly be unable to break the formation.

"Do you think you can stop me with just a formation and a few puppets?"

"You are vastly overestimating yourself!"

The Underworld God said this and also struck out with a palm.

A strand of black Yin Qi howled as it struck the Formation.

&

Ye Liuyun also immediately unleashed Buddha Light Power to intercept.

If struck solidly by the Underworld God's palm, he feared the Formation couldn't withstand it.

A golden grindstone rotated to block the direction of that palm strike.

«Mantis trying to stop a chariot! »

The Underworld God gave a contemptuous smile.

However, the result also surprised him greatly.

In his palm, he had gathered a large amount of True Essence and Yin Qi, but the Golden Light unleashed by Ye Liuyun consumed seventy to eighty percent of it.

With a «boom», the remaining palm force struck the Formation, yet not even a ripple appeared.

«Buddha Light Power? »

The Underworld God guessed what kind of power this was from Ye Liuyun.

«Do you want to give it a try? »

Ye Liuyun asked frivolously.

He was deliberately buying time to recover Buddha Light Power.

This palm strike of his had almost exhausted his Buddha Light Power, needing time to recover.

However, the Underworld God could keep attacking continuously.

So Ye Liuyun decided, preparing to let Yan Tu and the others sneak attack the Underworld God, while he also wanted to release Yin Souls to launch a fierce assault on the Underworld God.

If a round of fierce assault fails, then withdraw all the Yin Souls.

Thinking of this, he also slowly walked out, heading toward the edge of the Formation, trying to get as close as possible to the Underworld God, preparing to cast a spell.

«Hmph, do you think you can hit me? »

The Underworld God retorted.

Ye Liuyun walked and said unhurriedly: «Well, I don't expect that! But you also don't even think about blasting open my Formation! »

«Haha! I just casually threw a palm strike earlier. »

«I can keep blasting away. »

«And you, I estimate your little bit of Buddha Light Power is about to run out, right? »

In Ye Liuyun's hand, at this moment another Vajra Divine Bow appeared.

He took it from his clone, preparing to first shoot the Underworld God for a while, to let him get familiar with the bow's appearance.

«Who said I have to defend! »

Ye Liuyun said contemptuously, raising his hand and loosing an arrow.

This Vajra Divine Bow can even kill the Yin Souls of the Ninefold Heavenly Venerable.

However, the Underworld God just laughed loudly, not even bothering to block.

Ye Liuyun's arrow was directly blocked by the dense Yin Qi surrounding the Underworld God.
