Chapter Eighty-Nine: In a sorry state
Within the black mist, the Heavenly Origin Demon Lord, clad in a red robe, sat atop a bone throne made of piled bones, watching Han Wei flee in terror with a mocking, cat-and-mouse expression. Suddenly, he stretched out a hand towards Han Wei, and an enormous, blood-red palm appeared in the void.
The palm is incredibly clear; even the fingerprints on it are clearly visible.
The palm frantically absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, forming immense pressure, and reached out to grab the Thunder Beast Chariot, intending to seize the chariot along with Han Wei and Gu Qi. The palm was ridiculously large, like the hand of a demon god, coming from beyond the realm.
Han Wei maintained her frantic escape speed, while Gu Qi stood on the chariot, his white robes fluttering. The sword in his hand burst forth with dazzling light, and a huge, boundless Dharma image appeared behind him. As the Dharma image appeared, green light surged in the void, transforming into countless towering ancient trees.
These ancient trees, exuding an ancient aura, transformed into thirty-six enormous wooden dragons.
The wooden dragon roared, and a divine rainbow soared into the sky. The wooden dragon collided with the huge blood-red palm, unleashing a deafening roar. The shockwave destroyed all the surrounding towering mountains, and countless exaggerated cracks appeared in the sky.
Gu Qi had used all his strength in that attack, but he still failed to shatter the palm.
The palm simply became slightly more transparent.
The enormous, blood-red phantom hand continued to reach out towards the Thunder Beast Chariot.
Han Wei turned the chariot around, and the reins in her hand transformed into an enormous crossbow. The Thunder King Armor on her body emitted a dazzling blue light, and the Thunder Beast Chariot also emitted a dazzling lightning light. Lightning spread from the Thunder Beast's feet, turning into a sea of lightning, and thunderstorms fell like rain.
Gu Qi's body was also crackling with cyan lightning as he and Han Wei used the "Nine Heavens Thunder Control Technique".
Gu Qi and Han Wei simultaneously used the "Nine Heavens Thunder Control Technique," combined with the power of the Thunder Beast Chariot and the Thunder King Armor, to condense a giant arrow. This arrow, carrying the laws of lightning, was shot out from the crossbow.
In that instant, strange phenomena appeared all over the world.
Rumble—
The lightning arrow pierced the blood-red palm and shot towards the black mist.
The lightning arrow had even penetrated the black mist, releasing arcs of electricity that filled the entire void. Countless vengeful spirits within the black mist were struck by these arcs and their souls were annihilated.
The arrow pierced the black mist, filling it with the power of thunder, and the screams of vengeful spirits echoed through the heavens. That single arrow annihilated countless vengeful spirits and shot towards the Heavenly Yuan Demon Lord. The smile on the Heavenly Yuan Demon Lord's face vanished for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, eighteen blood-red magic arrays unfolded one after another.
That arrow actually pierced through eighteen formations before its power weakened and it was shattered by the red light emanating from his hand.
Although the arrow did not harm him, its power was not to be underestimated.
Tianyuan Demon Lord thought to himself:
That's interesting.
Although this was achieved through the power of a magical artifact, it is still worthy of praise.
After shooting the arrow, Han Wei decisively steered the Thunder Beast Chariot to continue her escape. She knew that the arrow would definitely not kill a demon at the Great Ascension stage.
Rumble—
Lightning flashed wildly, and the Thunder Beast Chariot moved even faster.
Soon, a city appeared ahead, but it wasn't Tianxiu City. This city was called Yu'e City, and it was half the size of Tianxiu City. The Void Refinement stage experts in this city had already sensed the anomaly. One by one, they flew out from their secret chambers or other places, looking into the distance.
They saw countless bolts of lightning, and within each bolt, a chariot was embedded. Standing atop the chariot were two figures, their auras incredibly powerful and terrifying. Even the thunder beast pulling the chariot sensed that it had entered the Nascent Soul stage, possessing cultivation levels no lower than the Nascent Soul stage.
Before the two figures on the chariot could be clearly seen, they were both terrified by the terrifying black mist behind them.
What is that?
The black mist seemed to extend to the heavens and the earth, and wherever it reached, all living things and plants were turned into dead things.
That black fog was terrifying!
They watched as an enormous, pale hand bone emerged from the black mist. The bone was very long and didn't look like a human hand. The wrist of the bone was adorned with a black bracelet decorated with black skull-like shapes.
As soon as the pale white hand bone appeared, countless vengeful spirits howled from within the black mist. The sound echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing countless humans in Jade Calamity City to vomit blood, and some even died instantly.
Han Wei and Gu Qi looked at the pale, boneless hand that was attacking them, and joined forces again.
They each unleashed the "Myriad Manifestations Technique," unleashing the Wrath of the Azure Dragon. Strange phenomena manifested in the void, transforming into countless leaves, which coalesced into two colossal azure dragons. These two dragons roared and charged forward, unleashing a torrent of thunderous power from their bodies.
Even so, neither of them could stop that pale, bony hand.
With a single slap of the hand bone, the two azure dragons were shattered into countless fragments. A fierce wind swept through the sky, and the remaining storm sent Han Wei, Gu Qi, and the others, along with their chariot, flying away.
Bang!
Han Wei and Gu Qi crashed into Yu'e City, car and all.
The defensive array of Yu'e City had been activated long ago, with a golden barrier enveloping the entire city. However, when Han Wei, Gu Qi, and the Thunder Beast Chariot fell, they pierced through the barrier as if they had pierced through layers of thin paper, and then crashed into the ground, creating a huge crater.
The thunderstorm from the Thunder Beast Chariot spread and lashed out, causing damage to the surrounding buildings and cultivators.
Amidst billowing smoke and dust, Han Wei and Gu Qi struggled to their feet, Han Wei spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Han Wei was seriously injured, but thanks to her incredibly powerful self-healing ability, the injury healed quickly. However, Han Wei's face was extremely pale at this moment.
The people of Jade Calamity City were still unaware of what was happening, watching in terror as the black mist approached. Screams echoed wherever the mist passed. Jade Calamity City had hundreds of millions of inhabitants, and the Heavenly Yuan Demon Lord showed no mercy; upon arriving, he immediately began devouring the humans.
Whether they were mortal cultivators, or the spirit beasts or poultry they raised, they all became his food.
"Hahahahahahahahaha..."
The black mist dissipated, leaving the sky and earth a blood-red expanse. The entire Jade Calamity City echoed with screams of agony. Everyone was trapped in this crimson world, helplessly watching as those around them were drained of their life force, only to be drained dry before it was their turn. Terror and death permeated the air; a dark and ominous power was awakening and reviving.
Han Wei raised her head and looked up at the sky, where Tianyuan Demon Lord stood, his long hair flying in the air.
