Within Jiang Chengye's rapidly expanding pupils, black flames erupted from the mysterious youth's mouth, quickly filling Jiang Chengye's entire field of vision.
The distance was far too close, and Jiang Chengye deliberately crashed into the young man. In just a moment, his face was completely obscured by the Annihilation Black Flame.
"ah!"
Jiang Chengye's crystal-clear, jade-like face melted rapidly. He let out a shrill scream, abruptly shaking off the clone that was sinking in front of him, and his body fell backward.
Under the control of Shen Qian's clone's will, the black flames quickly spread throughout Jiang Chengye's body, causing his flesh to crack open in one place after another, like shattered porcelain.
Twisted, mysterious runes lit up one after another on Jiang Chengye's body, only to quickly dissipate under the constant burning of black flames, only to reappear and disappear again...
When the flames on Jiang Chengye's body finally burned out, he lay motionless on the ground.
The clone before sinking was as pale as the main body. The two stood one in front of the other, watching Jiang Chengye warily while constantly adjusting their breathing.
Before sinking, he himself had already been drained by the "Extreme Fist," and the consumption of his clones was equally enormous.
The Annihilation Black Flame was regarded as the most precious collection by the ancient fire god and placed in the third position of the Ten Fire Hall. Its power far exceeded the attack methods of ordinary kings and nobles.
Frankly speaking, even with star power as a foundation, Chen Qian's clone could only achieve a preliminary grasp of the power.
Even so, this is Shen Qian's strongest offensive tactic to date, and the only one that could truly threaten Jiang Chengye's life, without exception.
Even if he activates the Ten Directions Creation Body, it will still take time for Shen Qian to reach a certain level of power. Jiang Chengye is not stupid; he cannot simply stand there and wait for Shen Qian to accumulate power.
Given the clone's current control, it can only use the Annihilation Black Flame once at most, otherwise there is a huge risk of it backfiring on itself.
In order to achieve a surprise victory, Shen Qian's clone first used the Twin Flames as a cover, and then deliberately got close to create an opening, all for this moment.
The Annihilation Black Flame did not disappoint Shen Qian's expectations. In Shen Qian's perception, Jiang Chengye's life force was almost melted into nothingness.
After the clone calmed down a bit, he was about to have the clone completely incinerate Jiang Chengye's body with the Twin Flames when, amidst a "crack" sound, Jiang Chengye suddenly rose up from the ground.
His body was cracked and his face was charred. He was breathing like a wild beast, and black and gold blood was flowing from his body. He looked miserable.
However, Shen Qian clearly sensed that some tiny black lights were constantly separating from Zhong Li's "sleeping" body and then merging into Jiang Chengye's body, causing his life force to quickly recover.
Shen Qian, who had already sensed that Jiang Chengye could not die so easily, felt a chill in his heart. Just as he was wondering whether he should kill the mother's corpse as well to truly kill Jiang Chengye, Jiang Chengye made a move that Shen Qian did not expect.
He suddenly reached out and pulled out a black and white jade talisman from Zhongli's body behind him, then crushed it without hesitation.
Rumble!
In an instant, the entire Yaochi Palace trembled violently.
Shen Qian felt a chill run down his spine. Having been forcibly instilled with a lot of knowledge about formations by the system, he immediately recognized that the jade talisman was a specific formation switch.
"careful!"
Unsure of what kind of formation the enemy had set up beforehand, and worried about the safety of Eighth Senior Sister and the others, Chen Qian dared not advance rashly. He and his clone retreated temporarily, cautiously observing their surroundings.
Amidst the deafening, overwhelming roar, Yaochi Palace began to decay and collapse at an alarming rate...
No, it wasn't just Yaochi Palace; the entire mountain range and even the whole world were collapsing.
Looking into the distance, Shen Qian saw dark clouds swirling in the sky, and countless cracks spreading across the Heavenly Realm beyond the Yaochi Palace.
"This destructive formation actually covers the entire Heavenly Realm?"
Shen Qian was first startled, then became puzzled.
If it's a formation with such a wide range, it looks impressive and could even cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split. It might be a catastrophe that would wipe out ordinary people, but it's unlikely to pose much of a threat to martial artists of a certain level.
Those rubble and jade pillars falling from Yaochi Palace could be easily dodged, let alone by Shen Qian, even by the weakest Great Sage present.
wrong!
Suddenly realizing something, Shen Qian abruptly turned his head and saw Jiang Chengye, who had somehow picked up the Fangtian Halberd amidst a collapsed stone wall, transforming into a black streak of light and rushing towards the depths of the Heavenly Realm.
Jiang Chengye... escaped?
Shen Qian instantly realized that the so-called formation was just a bluff. It was probably originally intended by Zhongli to finish things off, but Jiang Chengye was using it as a diversion to distract him.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Shen Qian realized that his judgment had been flawed.
Perhaps the existence of the mother's corpse did give Jiang Chengye a stronger vitality, but the Annihilation Black Flame must have truly made him feel the threat of death.
Otherwise, given the madness Jiang Chengye displayed after his resurrection, he would never have made such an easy move to flee.
Considering that if Jiang Chengye were released today, there would be endless troubles once the mother's corpse on his body awakens, Shen Qian made a decision in a flash.
"Sinking forward..."
Cheng Qingqing, who was taking shelter from the earthquake, could tell what was going on from Chen Qian's expression and couldn't help but call out in worry.
"Second Senior Sister, do you know any other exits?"
Before sinking, he sent his clone ahead to chase after Jiang Chengye in the direction he had fled, while he himself asked a question.
"I know, it's near this Yaochi Palace, there's a direct route to Kunlun Mountain on Earth..."
