Chapter 119: Sneaking away? The Xiating's depths fully revealed!

~8 min read 1,525 words

This scene can be called magnificent!

Although Xiating had myriad figures standing firm, at this moment, in the hands of Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, they gained absolutely no advantage.

Some mighty ones have already vaguely guessed; could it be that this battle will end with Xiating's defeat?

If that were the case, it would be the biggest joke in heaven and earth.

And at this moment, in the field.

Dong Wanggong had three supreme innate spirit treasures surrounding his person; while directly confronting the might of Jieyin and Zhunti, he had also already taken in the entirety of the great battle.

"Damn it!"

Dong Wanggong snarled in a low voice.

Everything now is extremely disadvantageous for Xiating.

The losses and consumption of this battle can be said to have completely exceeded Dong Wanggong's expectations and imagination.

However, Dong Wanggong at this moment had no intention of withdrawing.

After all, the cost is already too great; if they were to stop now, Xiating would end up with nothing to show for their effort—like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice used to bait it.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, this is you forcing me."

"If that's the case, then let's see who will ultimately win this battle."

Dong Wanggong's face turned ferocious, his expression extremely sinister, as if mad, he let out an explosive roar.

Afterwards, he suddenly looked up to the sky and howled:

"All members of Xiating, come forward quickly."

"Today, not a single being from the West or the Dragon Clan shall be allowed to leave."

Boom!

In an instant, as Dong Wanggong's words fell, one could see figures stirring in great numbers on Penglai Island.

Swish!

Swish!

The sounds of tearing through the air echoed, accompanied by one mighty Xiating expert after another, as well as ordinary cultivators, all rushing toward the battlefield.

In just a moment, within the surrounding millions of li of territory, shadows appeared everywhere, vast as smoke and waves, countless, stirring up a tremendous terror.

All beings couldn't help but draw in a cold breath, feeling shock and regret, their scalps going numb.

"Hiss... Dong Wanggong is holding nothing back."

"All of Xiating's mighty ones have emerged; this is to fight Jieyin and Zhunti to the death."

"It seems Dong Wanggong has indeed been forced into a corner with no retreat."

"Inflicting a thousand casualties on the enemy while suffering eight hundred oneself—even if Xiating manages to win today, it will inevitably end in severe vitality loss."

Not bad!

These exclamations are no exaggeration.

Dong Wanggong deployed all of Xiating's fighting strength, and the situation instantly reversed.

At present, merely the mighty aura of Xiating's side has completely overwhelmed Jieyin, Zhunti, and the Dragon Clan beings.

Xiating's victory is not without hope.

But even if victorious, it will ultimately be a bloody, pyrrhic win.

In the field, Jieyin and Zhunti were also startled by Dong Wanggong's such "determination."

"Hmph, Dong Wanggong, you really are willing to sacrifice."

"Aren't you afraid that suffering great vitality loss today will draw the Witch and Demon Clans and other forces to come and flatten your Penglai Island in one fell swoop?"

Jieyin gave a cold snort and then spoke thus:

Only this now can make Dong Wanggong have some misgivings and considerations.

Who would have thought that, upon hearing Jieyin's words, Dong Wanggong would not take them to heart.

He gave a sinister laugh and fixed his gaze firmly on Jieyin and Zhunti.

"Jieyin, Zhunti, since you are bullying people to such an extent, don't even think about leaving this Wuliang Sihai."

"Today, I not only want the Merit Supreme Treasure, but also the Primordial Purple Qi on your persons must be handed over."

"What does it matter if you are disciples of a Saint? I too am the foremost male immortal in the world; today, you will surely die!"

Clamor!

As Dong Wanggong's words fell, heaven and earth suddenly boiled over, and all beings erupted in an uproar.

Good fellow!

Dong Wanggong has completely gone berserk.

As the saying goes, even a cornered rabbit will bite.

The heavy price paid by Xiating's side makes Dong Wanggong feel the pain acutely.

Even just a Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler is hard to compensate for.

Therefore, Dong Wanggong simply went a step further, making Jieyin and Zhunti also his targets.

Moreover, as long as he obtains the two strands of Primordial Purple Qi from Jieyin and Zhunti, Dong Wanggong might even have a chance to contend for a future Saint's position.

This move also carries a sense of heroic grandeur in facing death to achieve life.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, and their faces also grew grim.

Unbearable!

Too unbearable!

Who could have imagined that Dong Wanggong would actually be so reckless.

One must know, human strength sometimes runs out.

Faced with so many Xiating powerhouses, Jieyin and Zhunti, despite their immense strength, how long could they hold out?

Even if constantly consuming the lives of Xiating powerhouses, it would be enough to exhaust Jieyin and Zhunti.

Can't fight anymore!

Thinking this, Jieyin looked across at Chen Ku, his expression shifting, something that could be understood but not said.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's heart was greatly moved, his face showing a troubled expression.

"Ah... suffering..."

"Does that mean we can only run away like this?"

"In that case, our side would suffer a heavy cost instead."

Chen Ku wore a worried, bitter face, muttering to himself.

He understood Jieyin's meaning: he was to prepare to flee.

In fact, Jieyin's idea was also wise.

By this point in the great battle, not only was the situation of Jieyin and Zhunti unfavorable.

Chen Ku himself could only hold on this long by relying on numerous innate spiritual roots and immortal fruits for replenishment.

Otherwise, after capturing several Two Corpse Quasi-Sage mighty ones and countless Great Luo Golden Immortals and other powerhouses, his mana would have long been exhausted, his qi and blood dried up, making continuation impossible.

But he was truly unwilling in his heart.

If he were to flee, the two immortal islands of Abyss Island and Square Fathom would surely not escape Xiating's scrutiny, and would be handed over to the Eastern King Duke.

Moreover, that was not all.

If they fled, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku would naturally be uncatchable, and surely the Eastern King Duke of Xiating and his cohorts could not catch up either.

But what about the Dragon Clan?!

In this battle, the Dragon Clan has already taken part, utterly offending the Xiating side.

If they simply fled now, it would be tantamount to trapping the Dragon Clan, dooming it to eternal calamity.

Of course, if other mighty ones learned of this idea, they would surely be stunned, their jaws dropping.

After all, the Western Three are infamous for being "shameless," thick‑skinned.

You little brat, you actually have such a conscience?

But at this moment, Chen Ku suddenly turned his gaze to the Black Dragon.

The latter was already drenched in blood, its massive body covered in black‑gold‑like dragon scales that fell away, emitting a piercing metallic clang that could pierce metal and split stone.

Fresh blood poured out, causing the Black Dragon's vitality to fade rapidly, growing ever weaker.

Even the Black Dragon was in such a state; the casualties among the ordinary Dragon Clan need not be elaborated.

Hold on!

By this point, each of them was merely holding on.

Chen Ku's expression shifted, his heart hesitant and undecided.

Seeing his state, Jieyin and Zhunti were also greatly anxious in heart.

However, just as Jieyin and Zhunti could hardly restrain themselves, about to act and take Chen Ku away directly.

Suddenly, within the Wuliang Sihai, an abrupt change occurred.

"Hmph, this place is quite lively!"

Without warning, a vast voice suddenly rang out from the Four Seas region.

Though the words were calm, they instantly drowned out all the clamor on the scene, exuding a tremendous pressure that shook ancient and modern times.

Before the words faded, strands of black light points slowly emerged from the Four Seas region, hovering before the Xiating powerhouses.

"This is......"

Out of curiosity, the Xiating powerhouses cautiously reached out to touch those black light points.

But at the instant of contact—

Boom—

Suddenly, the black light points burst open, and a violent, blazing black flame surged upward from within.

"Ah......"

The black flames, like a karmic fire capable of burning all things, instantly engulfed several Quasi‑Sage mighty ones.

Wails of agony rang out, sending chills down the scalp.

Before the Eastern King Duke and his entourage could react, the Xiating Four Great Quasi‑Sages and even millions of ordinary cultivators were utterly reduced to ashes in the black flames, leaving nothing behind.

On the battlefield, only the spiritual treasures left behind by the fallen mighty ones drifted to and fro, silent and still.

Instant kill!

Undoubtedly an instant kill!

"Damn it, who dares to strike from the shadows?!"

The Eastern King Duke was shocked and furious, roaring angrily.

But no one answered his words.

The black flames coalesced across the heavens and earth, and a terrifying, indescribably huge figure slowly emerged.
