"We're just waiting for you to activate the Earth's Sigh!"
Jiang Yuan suddenly laughed. He also sighed and reached out to the earth. At the same time, the bronze spear brought in from outside was freed from its restraints and began to frantically absorb the death energy of the undead throughout the entire underground palace.
If we look at the entire underground palace, Jiang Yuan has become the center of a vortex that absorbs the death energy of the dead. He is like a powder keg full of gunpowder, and the bronze spear is the fuse that ignites this powder keg.
Of course, the sigh of the earth acted as a catalyst, and also tied Bai Qi to this powder keg.
"Do you know why I don't care about your contempt?" Jiang Yuan's energy was completely depleted, and his 990,000 soul energy plummeted to the bottom in the blink of an eye. All of his soul energy would become the energy for this explosion.
Bai Qi's expression was solemn; he couldn't understand why Jiang Yuan wanted to perish together with him.
"because!"
Jiang Yuan's lips curled up. At this moment, the bronze spear that embodied the beliefs of 400,000 Zhao soldiers exploded, all hatred directed at Bai Qi. It was because of this man that they had suffered such heavy pain after their defeat. Now was the perfect opportunity for revenge.
With a deafening roar, the explosion sent the two flying. Jiang Yuan's physical body was instantly vaporized, leaving behind only a sarcastic remark.
"Some people may look like a person, but they are actually just an alter ego!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi instantly understood, but the explosion was already out of control. A massive surge of energy rushed in, with the destructive power accompanying the Earth's Sigh bearing the brunt.
Outside the underground palace, the ground within a radius of ten miles sank by tens of meters. If it weren't for the fact that the Earth's Sigh was still well preserved, the entire underground palace would have collapsed in one fell swoop.
"Cough cough!"
A blue soul flame flickered in the darkness.
"They're still alive! No wonder they were experts who reached the third stage of the Profound God Realm at their peak!"
In the still-unresolved eighteenth level of the underworld, a well-dressed figure slowly emerged. The God-Slaying Spear, which had been thrown hundreds of meters away by the explosion, trembled and then returned to his hand as if it had come to life.
He was Jiang Yuan. Before entering the underground palace, he had already replaced himself with the Primordial Qi Avatar of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, just to confuse the public.
Jiang Yuan knew very well that the death energy of the undead in the underground palace was always a hidden danger. If his main body absorbed the death energy of the undead, he would eventually become a puppet controlled by others! However, by letting the Primordial Qi clone take the lead, this hidden danger would be easily solved, because even if the Primordial Qi clone was controlled, he could dispel the Primordial Qi clone with his soul, and he would still not have any problems.
"You brat!" Bai Qi's spirit appeared, but compared to his previously solid body, his spirit was now extremely weak.
This attack was completely unexpected by Bai Qi. He activated the Earth's Sigh only to kill Jiang Yuan in the presence of the Lord of War, but he did not expect Jiang Yuan to be even more ruthless. He directly used the bronze spear to activate the remaining beliefs of all the Zhao soldiers in the underground palace, and then detonated all the death energy of the undead. Even he, when he was at his peak, had to pay attention to this level of explosion, let alone his weakened body now.
"Don't blame me, you ignited the Earth's Sigh yourself! I was just a minor push!" Jiang Yuan had already raised the God-Slaying Spear. Villains die from talking too much, and he didn't want to become a negative example.
"Heh!" Bai Qi's expression was strangely indescribable. He wasn't afraid, but rather a little surprised. He felt no pain, only relief.
"Let me send you on your way!"
Jiang Yuan knew the principle of striking while the iron was hot, and with a hundredfold hidden strike, he thrust his spear towards Bai Qi's soul fire.
Seeing this, Bai Qi did not dodge, but simply waited quietly.
However, when the attack landed, Bai Qi made no move.
"Um?"
Jiang Yuan frowned, unable to understand why his attack had missed. Just as he was about to sacrifice his life force to prepare for the Ghost Slash, Bai Qi spoke.
"Don't waste your energy, you can't kill me!" Bai Qi sighed, his expression no longer troubled.
"Really?" Jiang Yuan refused to believe it and thrust at Ghost Slash as he charged up, but Ghost Slash, which had ten points of life force, still missed.
Bai Qi laughed nonchalantly and said, "In the Tomb of the Lord of War, the tomb guardians are protected! Just like you, neither the Tomb Maiden nor I can actually kill you! The only thing we can do is to remove you from this plan!"
"I don't believe a word you and Dian Ling say!" Jiang Yuan shook his head, his gaze falling on the Soul Refining Pot. He needed to carefully consider how to kill Bai Qi.
Bai Qi saw through Jiang Yuan's little tricks, but he showed no fear. He simply said, "There's no need for such trouble. Now that you have defeated me, my duty has come to an end. It's time for my two thousand years of perseverance to come to a close!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuan was more and more confused. Can people nowadays still have a sense of justice when they are bad guys?
Bai Qi smiled softly, gazed affectionately at the earth beside him, sighed, and then slowly closed his eyes. As his lips moved slightly, he murmured, "I was born in the wrong era! Then, please pass on this mission to me!"
The earth sighed and rose, and the chaotic energy within the underground palace began to contract drastically in the next second.
"How is that possible? Didn't I detonate all the death energy of the undead?" Jiang Yuan was as if he had seen a ghost. If the death energy of the undead still existed, then Bai Qi would not have lost.
“Three people form a room, nine people form a family, a hundred people form a clan, a thousand people form a lineage, ten thousand people form a city, and a million people form a nation! And this underground palace is an independent kingdom of the dead. Apart from the necessary energy loss, everything else here is in a state of conservation!” Bai Qi closed his eyes, quite leisurely, and continued, “So, how can the death aura of the dead dissipate!”
Jiang Yuan hadn't expected this underground palace to be so troublesome.
"Alright, whether you want this Earth's Sigh or not is your business! Anyway, I've completed my duty, it's time to rest!" Bai Qi's soul fire dimmed, and he disintegrated on the spot without the slightest regret.
"this!"
Jiang Yuan stood there dumbfounded, feeling like his brain cells were about to explode. What was going on? The god of death who had just tried to kill him had suddenly freed himself.
He checked Bai Qi's whereabouts repeatedly, and only after he was 100% certain that Bai Qi was truly dead did he walk up to the Earth Sigh.
"What exactly did he mean by that?" Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought.
Now that things have progressed this far, he's become somewhat undecided, because apart from him and Youhuang, everyone else who came to the underground palace is 'dead,' so without the Palace Spirit and Bai Qi, he doesn't even know how to revive the others.
The only thing that can solve this problem is the sigh of the earth before us!
"Wait, everyone's dead, but there's still one bird left!" Jiang Yuan thought of Youhuang, the only one that hadn't died.
He used the Stone Breath to search for Youhuang's location. Due to the violent explosion, Youhuang had already fled. Because it had surrendered all its death energy, its cultivation level had dropped to the third rank. If it stood close to Youhuang, it would surely perish.
"You're quite fast, but your master is lying here, where can you run to!"
Youhuang and Xiaopang have signed a contract. If Xiaopang dies, Youhuang won't fare much better. Besides, Jiang Yuan won't let it run away.
