Yang Cheng had cooperated with the underworld many times and didn't have much prejudice against it.
Moreover, if they don't cooperate with Houtu in the current situation, they will really have to fight to the death.
"We are extremely grateful to have been chosen by Lady Houtu, and of course we are willing to cooperate."
"But Lady Houtu, what exactly is this Desolate God? And Bai Ze died at its hands—was it the real Bai Ze from mythology?"
Houtu said calmly, "You should go back and ask the Heavenly Emperor about these things. Once you reach the Yin-Yang Realm, you will naturally have the answers."
The Heavenly Emperor will not be angry if I cooperate with you. However, if I overstep my bounds and say things that I shouldn't say, that would be breaking the rules.
You are people of the Heavenly Palace, people valued by the Heavenly Emperor, and these things should be told to you by the Heavenly Emperor.
Knowing some things too early isn't a good thing; you'll naturally understand them when you've reached a certain level of strength.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Alright, then please open the space, Lady Houtu, and prepare to make your move."
Turning to Jiang Kai, Yang Cheng said, "Physical attacks have no effect on the Desolate God. We need to find a way to infuse power into the Xuan Bird and expel the Desolate God's power from it."
Jiang Kai nodded, and the moment Hou Tu opened the space, his body was instantly illuminated by dazzling starlight.
With the power of the stars hanging high above his head, Jiang Kai formed hand seals, and the power of the seven stars of the Big Dipper gathered behind him, condensing into a Big Dipper Dharma Body that shone with brilliant starlight.
Greedy Wolf, Giant Gate, Prosperity, Literary Star, Honest Star, Martial Star, Broken Army.
The power of the Seven Stars shone brightly around Jiang Kai, and the seven powers transformed into starlight arrows, all shooting towards the Desolate God!
The countless eyes of the Desolate God turned to Jiang Kai, whose wings spread wide. Black light, like countless black tentacles, tore through the sky, annihilating all the arrows formed from the power of the Seven Stars.
Jiang Kai directly shut down his five senses. At this moment, with Houtu's help, he tore open this world, allowing him to freely mobilize the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Protected by the divine body of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, Jiang Kai's blood and qi burned fiercely, and he charged forward without regard for anything else.
The black power continuously eroded the Big Dipper Realm Dharma Body. By the time Jiang Kai arrived in front of the Desolate God, his Big Dipper Realm Dharma Body had been eroded beyond recognition and was on the verge of shattering.
Jiang Kai's blood and qi were burning wildly. The powerful blood and qi drew in the stars in the void. The power of the seven stars gathered in his body, intertwined and entangled, and finally exploded with a bang!
A falling star!
Jiang Kai was blasted away by that enormous force, coughing up mouthfuls of blood, only managing to withstand it entirely thanks to his powerful physical strength.
Yang Cheng had not made a move until now, instead following behind Jiang Kai.
As soon as Jiang Kai's final attack landed, Yang Cheng immediately formed hand seals, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy into his body. His blood and qi were also burning wildly as he unleashed the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, transforming into a massive Dharma body over five hundred feet tall.
The Desolate God had almost half of its eye, spanning its wingspan, shattered by Jiang Kai's previous attack.
At this moment, the flesh and blood on its wingspan writhed, and countless eyes began to appear again.
Yang Cheng's enormous body, which resembled the law of heaven and earth, directly tore at the wings of the Desolate God Mystic Bird's body with one hand each.
The next moment, the Desolate God began to struggle frantically, and its entire body was filled with countless eyes that emitted blinding black light, shooting wildly towards Yang Cheng's Dharma Heaven and Earth Body.
Moreover, even though Yang Cheng closed his eyes and shut down his five senses, the power of the Desolate God was still maximized at close range.
The body that embodies the laws of heaven and earth seemed to slow down considerably, with every movement exuding a sense of sluggishness.
Time may be erased, but Yang Cheng's will has never changed.
A dazzling divine light descended from the Heavenly Eye, and Yang Cheng stretched the wings of the Desolate God straight with both hands, allowing the light from the Heavenly Eye to pierce directly into the bird's beak!
The divine light entered the Xuan Bird's body, and the power of the Heavenly Eye continuously expelled the power unique to the Desolate God from within the Xuan Bird's body.
The black power was gradually being destroyed by the power of the Heavenly Eye, and the number of dense eyes on the Xuan Bird's body was decreasing.
Using the power of the laws of heaven and earth to unleash the Heavenly Eye is more powerful than before, but it also consumes more energy.
A golden light flashed around Yang Cheng, and the power of the Dragon Essence quickly replenished his depleted strength.
But in the blink of an eye, these forces poured out like a flowing river.
As the number of eyes on the black bird dwindled, and Yang Cheng's power was also exhausted, he gritted his teeth, his blood and qi burning wildly, his source of power constantly being depleted. Finally, at the last moment when all his depleted power was exhausted, he removed the last eye from the black bird's body.
His physical body, which resembled the laws of heaven and earth, collapsed instantly. Yang Cheng fell to the ground, his face pale, and he didn't even have the strength to get up.
Houtu reached out a hand and took away the body of the black bird.
A large amount of black force poured out.
This is not the power of the Desolate God, but the power of the Black Bird before its death, or more precisely, the power of the Great Shang Dynasty's fortune that was devoured by the Desolate God.
The great fortune of the Shang Dynasty has now been interrupted by Ji Fa, and this fortune can no longer return to the dragon vein.
With a wave of her hand, Houtu channeled all this power of fortune into Yang Cheng and Jiang Kai's bodies.
“Well done, it’s a pity that my underworld doesn’t have such a talented young person.”
"That Night Wanderer is clearly from your era, but all he does is sleep, and he hasn't even reached the Four Symbols Realm yet."
Houtu looked at Yang Cheng and sighed with slight regret.
The underworld originally intended to bring Yang Cheng into its clutches.
Unfortunately, at that time, the Underworld believed that it would be more beneficial for Yang Cheng to cooperate with the Underworld within the Heavenly Palace, so they only regarded him as a collaborator.
