Chapter 1983

"We can't hold on any longer!"

You must know, a large number of Gu Clan, the Strange Clan Dao King Realm, have collapsed and fled.

Moreover, their subordinate forces have already been recruited by Yang Jian and the Ruthless Empress, becoming henchmen.

Yang Jian is even more elusive; wherever he goes, a Strange Clan star is often directly exterminated.

He is just like a nightmare!

Moreover, the Ruthless Empress's Reincarnation Grand Formation is somewhat terrifying.

Its power encompasses the momentum of heaven and earth, and faintly also receives support from the Chaotic Star Sea.

Although it has not yet fully formed, it still resembles a river surging toward the starry sky.

Given time, once it converges into a great river, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Upon hearing the news, the Strange Clan elder immediately ordered everyone to set up a great net to encircle and kill Yang Jian and the Ruthless Empress.

They directly dispatched a Dao Birth Realm army.

The nearby star seas all gathered together.

Near the Scarlet Flame Star.

Led by Elder Mo Yun, they gathered together.

Before them was a huge star map, flashing with dark light.

"What exactly is the Ruthless Empress's plan?"

"How strange and ghostly!"

"Their route is very strange, not a straight line, and there's no pattern to follow."

"As for that bastard Yang Jian, he kills our Strange Clan on sight! He's been slaughtering his way here."

"We can't just let them be; our subordinate ancient Dao lineages have all been recruited by the Ruthless Empress and Yang Jian, forced to work for them—utterly absurd."

Everyone was extremely indignant.

Elder Mo Yun carefully studied the routes of the Ruthless Empress and others, quickly reaching a conclusion.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Ruthless Empress will surely come near the Scarlet Flame Star; we just need to wait here like a stalk waiting for a rabbit."

The other elders frowned, saying, "If we don't take the initiative, the Purple Cloud Star ahead will fall."

Elder Mo Yun said, "That's bait thrown at them. Within three days, the Ruthless Empress will certainly descend upon this starry expanse; we will set up our formation in advance."

Little did they know, Yang Jian had been using the Human Skin Scroll to deduce.

He immediately saw through the ambush at the Scarlet Flame Star.

Yang Jian immediately told the Ruthless Empress this news.

After a brief thought, the two quickly devised a plan.

By then we can lead Elder Mo Yun by the nose.

Two days later.

The Ruthless Empress indeed led her army toward the Scarlet Flame Star, and the distance kept closing.

Elder Mo Yun was overjoyed, "Hahaha! See what I said? The Ruthless Empress has come, hasn't she?"

Now the Ruthless Empress is getting ever closer to their grand formation.

By then we can directly wrap them up like dumplings!

All the strong ones from the surrounding several star seas have gathered near the Scarlet Flame Star.

Everyone looked excited, "That Ruthless Empress is also a fool."

But.

Time passed bit by bit.

The Ruthless Empress's army did not continue advancing toward the Scarlet Flame Star.

Instead, it changed direction, moving farther and farther from the Scarlet Flame Star!

"Damn it!"

Elder Mo Yun was so angry he jumped like thunder.

An elder reminded, "If we don't pursue the Ruthless Empress now, she'll slip away again. We've finally gathered so many people with great difficulty."

Elder Mo Yun snapped, "Ma de! She's played us. Now we can only directly chase and kill her."

Soon.

Above the Scarlet Flame Star, a large number of Strange Clan strongmen surged forth like a tide.

These are the elites of the nearby several star seas.

Even the weakest are Five-Star Dao King Realm!

And not far from the Scarlet Flame Star, Yang Jian had already brought people to hide in secrecy.

He had already discussed this with the Ruthless Empress.

When the Scarlet Flame Star's elites emerge, he will charge into the Scarlet Flame Star.

After all, this is the core of the Scarlet Flame Star Sea.

As for the strange grand formation set up by Elder Mo Yun and company, to Yang Jian it is meaningless.

As long as he activates the Human Skin Scroll, he can step in at will.

It's as easy as returning home.

Half an hour later.

Elder Mo Yun and company traversed the void, already far from the Scarlet Flame Star.

They sneered, "The Ruthless Empress still doesn't know her death is imminent; she's still condensing formation patterns."

They saw the distant starry sky, divine radiance surging.

It is obviously the reincarnation formation pattern.

They are more than familiar with it!

At this moment, Yang Jian led the great army in a slaughter toward Chi Yan Star.

His pupils flickered with scarlet light, and he directly sacrificed the human skin scroll.

"Human skin scroll, show me the route to enter the great formation of Chi Yan Star."

Moments later, several routes appeared in his mind.

It is entirely through a breach in the strange clan's great formation to enter Chi Yan Star!

However, Yang Jian's skin also began to dry out.

Empress Yao Xi felt somewhat worried and said, "Yang Jian, your skin..."

Yang Jian smiled and said, "It's fine. This is the price of activating the strange artifact—just bodily dryness, shedding skin."

Empress Yao Xi blinked slightly, not continuing to ask.

These past few days, she has personally witnessed Yang Jian shedding his skin like a great serpent.

Although Yang Jian said it lightly, she felt the process must be very painful.

Backlash from the strange artifact—how could it be that simple?

But for now, their most important task is to slaughter into Chi Yan Star and condense the reincarnation formation pattern.

Occupying the void near Chi Yan Star means seizing the initiative of the Chi Yan Star Sea; then, together with the Ruthless Empress's reincarnation domain, they can form an encircling situation.

Now the Ruthless Empress also has the qualifications to contend with the Dao Birth Realm.

Only because her cultivation has broken through to the Six-Star Dao King Realm, and with the power of the Chaotic Star Sea, within the reincarnation domain she can battle the Dao Birth Realm.

Yang Jian waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"

Behind him appeared a great army.

These are the forces he has gathered over these days in the star sea, mostly ancient Dao lineages, plus some human lackeys.

As for them, Yang Jian originally intended to make use of waste, so he did not kill them.

Yang Jian's eyes pierced the strange killing formation, transmitting the route outlined by the human skin scroll into everyone's minds.

Everyone immediately rushed in.

"Boom boom boom!"

The strange killing formation emitted a dark light; trampled by the crowd, it burst with a muffled thunder-like sound, yet it could not be fully activated.

It was in a borderline state.

On Chi Yan Star, the stationed strange clan powerhouses wore looks of shock.

"Damn! How did Yang Jian bring people to slaughter over here!"

"Elder Mo Yun and the others have left; how can we possibly resist?"

"Immediately send a sound transmission to Elder Mo Yun and the others."

Yang Jian and the others, without a word, directly began the slaughter.

With a thought of his, the human skin scroll drifted down like a great net.

"Swish!"

This net looks thin, but inside it forms its own space.

Yang Jian directly dragged the multitude of low-star Dao Birth Realm cultivators into the world of the human skin scroll.

If they cannot be killed, then suppress them!

The remaining strange clan are no match for Yang Jian at all.

However, the price of doing this is that his skin becomes even more desiccated again, like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.

Seeing this, Empress Yao Xi felt somewhat shocked.

Yang Jian, however, smiled and said, "It's fine; you have never seen my body at its most desiccated."

Empress Yao Xi frowned and asked, "What does it look like?"

Yang Jian replied, "Like land that has dried up for ten thousand years."

That was when he first refined the human skin scroll.

He felt as if he had dried to death.

It seemed as if no blood flowed within his body.

Empress Yao Xi did not know what to say.

Yang Jian burst into loud laughter, "Quick battle, quick decision! Slaughter all these strange clans, then lay down the reincarnation formation pattern!"
