Chapter 375: Meeting Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable Again
In just a single exchange, the myriad screens of light Murong Dai had conjured before her exploded with a deafening BOOM. An indescribably terrifying shockwave swept across the heavens and earth, even clearing away the surrounding ink-black clouds!
Under countless horrified gazes, Murong Dai plummeted from the sky as if struck by a heavy blow. Her body was ravaged by the power of calamity, and her aura became extremely faint!
"This is bad!"
Zhong Quanming's expression flickered. He was about to move in to support her, but the fiendishly charming man suddenly struck out with his palm. The powerful attack was something Zhong Quanming could not ignore, forcing him to throw himself back into his own battle.
"Commander Murong!" He Daoyun and the others rushed forward and caught Murong Dai.
Murong Dai's beautiful face was deathly pale, and the trickles of blood leaking from the corners of her mouth were black!
One could only imagine the extent to which the power of calamity had corroded her from within!
'How does that monster seem even stronger than the old demon Jue Yun and the Evil Baleful Demon Venerable?' The experts from the merchant guild felt a chill in their hearts, their gazes toward the giant bone hand filled with sheer terror.
"That's the Grand Elder of the Hall of Yama, the Supreme Profound Daoist."
Zhong Quanming's expression was grave as he gazed at the figure atop the giant bone hand. He had finally recognized the man's identity. "This old devil is indeed not someone we can handle."
"What?"
"The Supreme Profound Daoist?"
In an instant, an atmosphere of despair spread across the flying ship.
He was a terrifying existence who had cultivated beyond the Divine Might Realm for countless years. Long before joining the Hall of Yama, he was already a Great Power in the Divine Might Realm!
To say nothing of after he joined the Hall of Yama, where he was held in high regard by its master. Who knew what realm his cultivation had reached by now.
Panic gripped the hearts of those on the flying ship. The cultivators hiding in their rooms, upon seeing the merchant guild's experts losing ground, were instantly filled with alarm. Their minds in disarray, they slowly began to stir with commotion.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait for death!"
"It's our duty to deal with these devils!"
Inside Building One of the Heaven-tier, the door to one of the rooms was suddenly thrown open. Mo Tianyun strode out and turned to instruct Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe, "This enemy is unimaginably powerful. You two stay here for now, and don't make a move!"
"The old man and I will be enough to handle them!"
Luo Rou and Jiang Yuzhe's expressions changed. "No! How can we just stand by and watch while you fight a bloody battle against those evil cultivators?"
"That's an order!" Mo Tianyun's tone was deliberately forceful.
This made the two of them falter. The old man sighed. "Even the Grand Elder of the Hall of Yama has been mobilized. It's clear they came fully prepared to intercept this ship."
"I just don't know what on this flying ship could be so important to them!"
"Let's go!"
Mo Tianyun and the old man walked out of the building.
At the same time, other cultivators began to appear one after another. Unwilling to hide in their rooms, they decided to fight to the death against these devils who plagued the Cultivation Realm.
"Exorcising demons and defending the righteous path is the duty of cultivators like us!"
"With a great enemy before us, how can we shrink back in fear?"
Many cultivators shouted out, their expressions resolute as they unleashed their powerful auras.
Without exception, all who dared to step forward and fight were cultivators at or above the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Although there were many more cultivators below Divinity Transformation, under the terrifying pressure of those great devils, they couldn't even stand steadily, let alone fight back.
Even these Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators were only able to stand firm because the Forbidden Array on the flying ship had weakened the devils' oppressive might.
"Ants, even when they band together, are still just ants."
"This Forbidden Array can't protect you."
However, facing the group of Divinity Transformation cultivators below who shared a common hatred for him, the Supreme Profound Daoist, seated cross-legged on the giant bone hand, merely gave a disdainful smile.
He flicked his finger, and a terrifying streak of light, like an apocalyptic calamity, descended from the sky and shot toward the flying ship!
Wherever the streak of light passed, the void itself seemed to be corroded, leaving a horrifying trail. Just a distant glance was enough to make everyone's hearts pound with terror!
"Look out!"
A powerful sense of crisis washed over Zhong Quanming, and he bellowed, "Be careful!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the streak of light had already slammed heavily into the protective Forbidden Array.
Instantly, the Forbidden Array fluctuated violently, flashing with rapid ripples as countless cracks appeared across its surface.
He Daoyun and the other experts from the merchant guild were already on high alert, manipulating the Forbidden Array while simultaneously channeling their own power to reinforce it, hoping to strengthen its might.
But even so, the Forbidden Array teetered on the verge of collapse. Countless Spirit Stones used to power it turned to dust from that single blow, and a terrifying aftershock swept across the flying ship, right through the array.
CRASH!
CRASH!
CRASH!
...
Several buildings collapsed, and the group of Divinity Transformation cultivators coughed up blood as they were thrown back.
They had only just stepped forward and hadn't even had a chance to engage the enemy, yet they were all wounded by a single, casual strike.
The Supreme Profound Daoist's power made everyone on the flying ship despair.
Mo Tianyun's pupils constricted. He and the old man had to use every ounce of their strength just to barely escape that terrifying aftershock.
"This Supreme Profound Daoist is too strong!"
The old man's face was filled with gravity. He took a deep breath and spoke with a bitter tone.
"He really isn't someone we can handle," Mo Tianyun said, his face ashen.
"What are we going to do?" the old man said.
Just then, amid a chorus of shocked cries, the Supreme Profound Daoist rode the giant bone hand as it swooped toward the flying ship.
It was only when he drew near that everyone discovered someone else standing respectfully by the Supreme Profound Daoist's side.
"Long time no see, Steward Mo."
The man suddenly looked up, a mocking expression on his face as he gazed at Mo Tianyun and the old man, his voice laced with amusement.
"It's you?!"
The expressions of Mo Tianyun and the old man changed drastically.
The person standing beside the Supreme Profound Daoist was none other than the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable!
No one could have expected that after fleeing from the summit of Kunlun Mountain, the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable would end up by the Supreme Profound Daoist's side.
"I never thought that when we met again, you two would look as pathetic as a pair of stray dogs."
"How unpredictable the world is!"
The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable sighed with great emotion.
One month ago, at the summit of Kunlun Mountain, his evil fetus was destroyed by Ye Chen's hand. In the end, he had fled in a sorry state, not daring to linger.
But now, times had changed. He was out on a mission with the Grand Elder, the Supreme Profound Daoist, and never expected such a coincidence—to run right into Mo Tianyun and his group!
This was a golden opportunity for revenge, and he certainly wasn't going to miss it!
"Since you two are here, then I suppose that kid must also be..."
The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable seemed to sense something in the unseen.
