My son is about to break through.

With a single palm strike, the powerful Heavenly Demon God was injured and forced to retreat, a scene that deeply shocked all the gods present.

The remaining thirteen divine lords, including the Nine Netherworld Divine Lord, no longer showed any contempt on their faces. Instead, they displayed unprecedented solemnity and apprehension.

They exchanged a glance, each seeing murderous intent in the other's eyes.

"Do it!"

Someone let out a low shout, and the thirteen divine lords erupted almost simultaneously!
In an instant, evil energy surged and demonic power swept across the land!
One after another, the true forms of evil gods in various shapes appeared, their terrifying baleful auras mixed with their respective laws of the Great Dao, soaring into the sky and dyeing the vast chaotic void a chilling dark red.

The overwhelming blood-red light and demonic energy surged like a tangible tide, instantly engulfing and swallowing the area where Gu Qingfeng was located.

It seemed they intended to use the absolute power of their combined attack to kill him on the spot.

Faced with such terrifying power that could make any Nine Tribulation Grand Celestial Venerable despair, Gu Qingfeng's expression remained unchanged, as if the world-destroying attack before him was nothing more than a gentle breeze.

He took a step forward, and the void beneath his feet naturally evolved. The turbid and surging waters of the Yellow Springs appeared out of thin air, transforming into a vast river that stretched across the starry sky, encircling him and roaring!

The river, imbued with the aura of death, annihilation, and reincarnation, seems to be the final destination of all living beings.

All the evil divine powers, demonic energy, and malevolent light that bombarded the Yellow Springs were instantly extinguished upon contact with the waters of the underworld.

First, it stirred up huge waves, and then the power that was enough to shatter stars and annihilate the Great Dao was completely swallowed and digested by the turbid river water.

Eventually, all was calm, leaving only the Yellow Springs River to surge even more fiercely!
Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the eighteen levels of hell behind Gu Qingfeng suddenly solidified and descended with a bang!

The various hellish scenes unfold layer upon layer, seemingly evolving into a vast and real world, with each level of hell containing an ultimate form of punishment.

At this moment, these hellish phantoms, carrying the supreme power of judgment and end, were like ancient divine mountains, fiercely suppressing the many evil gods and lords who had joined forces to attack!

"Break!"

The Nine Nether God Lord felt the terrifying suppressive power emanating from the hellish phantom and let out a deafening roar.

In an instant, a gray divine spear shrouded in a dense aura of death materialized in his hand. Countless tiny vengeful spirits seemed to swirl and wail on the spear's shaft, emanating an extreme eeriness and chilling coldness.

The divine spear pierced through the air, and wherever it passed, thick gray frost suddenly condensed in the void for billions of miles, even freezing the flowing chaotic air currents!

The Heavenly Demon Lord also roared wildly; having just been injured, he was now even more ferocious.

In each of the eighteen arms of his towering, evil god-like form, he grasped a supreme treasure radiating powerful energy.
It evolved into boundless divine powers, transforming into torrents of destruction that madly bombarded the suppressed hellish phantoms, causing mountains of knives to collapse, seas of fire to churn, and the hellish void to crumble and vanish inch by inch.

As the main force of the Immortal Divine Kingdom against the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, the Nine Nether God Lord and the thirteen God Lords from the Immortal Divine Kingdom were all incredibly powerful.

Each one of them has at least reached the late stage of the Ninth Tribulation, and several, like the Heavenly Demon God Lord, have already touched the bottleneck of the peak of the Ninth Tribulation.

At this moment, the fourteen divine lords joined forces against the enemy. Although the Heavenly Demon God Lord was slightly injured, the momentum they unleashed was still earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.

The laws were in chaos, the Great Dao was wailing, and the core of the entire battlefield seemed to be returning to chaos!
the other side.

The army of the Xuantian Immortal Dynasty and the evil god clan of the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom were also locked in a fierce battle, with the fighting being extremely brutal.

Gu Yang was still fully activating the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. The nine immortal swords, like nine gods of slaughter, hung high above the battlefield. With the slight swaying of the swords, countless condensed killing sword energies fell from the void like a torrential rain.

Where the sword energy passed, space was easily cut open with fine black lines.

Any evil god touched by the sword energy, whether a low-level demonic soldier or a powerful forbidden master, would often not even have time to utter a scream before their body was instantly disintegrated and torn apart by the incomparably sharp sword energy, turning into a sky full of blood mist.

However, the amount of magical power and mental energy required to activate a ninth-grade Creation Treasure for an extended period of time is terrifyingly high.

Even though Gu Yang is exceptionally talented and possesses a profound foundation among those of the same level.

However, he was only at the level of a Three Tribulation Celestial Venerable. After continuously activating the sword formation, his face turned as pale as paper, his breathing became rapid and disordered, and his internal magic power poured out like a flood, making it difficult to maintain the full speed of the treasure for a long time.

Fortunately.

Gu Yang, as the Crown Prince of the Immortal Dynasty, was well prepared.

Whenever he felt signs of depletion of his internal energy and magical power, he would take out a pill and swallow it without hesitation.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, its pure medicinal power surging to every part of the body, rapidly replenishing what was lost.

After all, given the current strength of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty, although such pills that can quickly restore the power of a Three Tribulation Heavenly Venerable are precious, obtaining them is not difficult.

"It's the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!"

"A mere Third Tribulation Celestial Venerable dares to be so presumptuous with a supreme treasure! Kill him and seize the sword formation!"

Several evil god lords noticed the massive damage inflicted by Gu Yang's side, and their expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

They exchanged a glance, and immediately three evil god lords whose auras had reached the seventh tribulation level temporarily broke free from their opponents, forcibly tore through the void, and transformed into three strange streams of light, carrying a chilling killing intent, rushing straight towards Gu Yang's location.

The latter, with a solemn expression, sensed a deadly threat approaching and dared not hold back in the slightest, frantically urging the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

The nine immortal swords hummed and trembled, and the heaven-reaching killing sword energy gathered into three blood-red rivers, which, like giant dragons, rushed towards the three evil god lords who were attacking!

However, despite the formidable power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, Gu Yang's own cultivation level was simply too low, making it difficult for him to unleash the true power of this ninth-grade creation treasure.

Those three evil god lords were all Great Celestial Venerables who had reached the Seventh Tribulation level for many years. They were experienced, shrewd, and powerful.

Even though the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is a ninth-grade creation treasure, it was difficult to stop it.

Seeing the three evil god lords break through the layers of sword energy blockade, a trace of anxiety flashed in Gu Yang's eyes.

But that's it.

A powerful aura suddenly descended, and a figure arrived through the air.

As the opponent raised their hand, array patterns naturally emerged and intertwined in the void, and instantly a sword array containing fierce killing intent descended. Countless illusory sword shadows swept towards the three evil god lords like a storm, temporarily blocking their offensive.

"Your Highness, do not panic, I am here to help you!"

"Jiang Gongfeng!"

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Gu Yang's tense mind immediately relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Jue!

Currently, in the entire Xuantian Immortal Dynasty, besides Gu Qingfeng, he is the only expert who has stepped into the Great Heavenly Venerable level.

Gu Yang was well aware of Jiang Jue's strength.

The opponent entered the Dao through formations and has extremely high attainments in the art of formations. Now he has reached the Seven Tribulations level and entered the ranks of Great Heavenly Venerables. His true combat power is three times stronger than that of the Evil God Lord of the same level.

Therefore, with Jiang Jue's timely assistance, the pressure on Gu Yang was greatly reduced.

however.

As time went on, even with the addition of Jiang Jue, a Seventh Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable, the two of them, working together, were still gradually losing ground against three equally powerful and ferocious Evil God Lords, and could only barely hold on.

no way.

No matter how strong Jiang Jue is, he has only recently entered the Seventh Tribulation stage. Facing three veteran God Lords who have been immersed in the Seventh Tribulation for many years, it is already difficult for him to remain undefeated.

Gu Yang, wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, is limited by his own cultivation level, and can at most only be equivalent to half a Seven Tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable in terms of combat power. In a confrontation at this level, his role is relatively limited.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and that continuing the stalemate might lead to unforeseen changes, a resolute glint flashed in Gu Yang's eyes, and he made a bold decision without hesitation. "Jiang Gongfeng! This Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is entrusted to your control!"

Done.

Without hesitation, he released part of his control over the blood-red array plate and pushed it directly towards Jiang Jue.

Upon seeing this, the latter's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he did not hesitate at all, knowing that this was not the time to be polite.

He immediately reached out his large hand and grabbed the blood-red array plate that was radiating overwhelming murderous aura.

The next moment, the immense power of the Seven Tribulations Great Celestial Venerable surged into the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation like a mighty river.

“Buzz——!!!”

With such powerful magical support, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was like a sleeping ferocious beast that had been completely awakened.

The nine immortal swords simultaneously emitted a deafening sword cry that shook the starry sky. The swords shone brightly, and their already fierce and incomparable killing sword energy surged several times over, soaring into the sky like a tangible blood-red pillar of light, shaking the heavens and the starry universe.

The sudden increase in the terrifying power of the sword energy, several times stronger than before, caused the three evil god lords who were launching a fierce attack to change their expressions drastically, and for the first time, their eyes revealed a look of horror.

Both being ninth-grade creation treasures, the power that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation can unleash in Gu Yang's hands and in Jiang Jue's hands, a seventh-tribulation Great Heavenly Venerable, is completely different!

The former is merely a Three Tribulation Celestial Venerable, like a child wielding a heavy hammer, unable to truly unleash much of the power of such a supreme treasure.

But Jiang Jue is a genuine Seven Tribulation Great Celestial Venerable. The quality and quantity of the power he possesses, as well as his understanding of the Great Dao Laws, are far superior to Gu Yang's.

Now that he is in charge of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, it is naturally a perfect fit and a great complement to it.

Although these treasures recognized Gu Qingfeng as their master, Jiang Jue was unable to unleash their full power.

However, Jiang Jue had been permitted by Gu Qingfeng to possess and comprehend the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation for a period of time. Furthermore, his breakthrough to the Seventh Tribulation Realm was, to some extent, inextricably linked to his long-term comprehension of the supreme killing sword path contained within the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

In this way, a subtle connection and a high degree of compatibility have already been established between Jiang Jue and the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

Even though he hadn't completely refined this treasure into his own possession, at this moment, with his full effort, he could already unleash seventy to eighty percent of the astonishing power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.

As a ninth-grade creation treasure, even if it only unleashes seventy or eighty percent of its power, its might is still astonishing.

Under the killing sword energy, the void was easily torn apart like thin paper, forming black spatial cracks that could not be healed for a long time.

The three evil god lords at the seventh tribulation level were now deathly pale, having already sensed a fatal threat.

They frantically activated all sorts of life-saving abilities and unleashed their strongest defensive treasures in an attempt to withstand this terrifying storm of sword energy.

However, everything is in vain!
The terrifying, murderous sword energy surged down, instantly piercing the forehead of an evil god.

The god's body stiffened, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed, and his soul had been completely shredded by the sword energy.

Another sword aura cascaded down like a waterfall from the heavens, cleaving the other evil god who was trying to escape into the void, along with the space around him, into countless fragments, which were eventually annihilated into nothingness.

The last evil god was the most tragic, locked on by billions of sword energies at the same time. As the crisscrossing sword net swept past, its massive evil god form was instantly shattered into countless fragments, which were then further pulverized by the subsequent surge of sword energies, eventually exploding into a cloud of pervasive blood mist.

In no time at all, these three evil god lords, who held a prestigious position and possessed formidable strength in the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom and were at the level of Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerables, were reduced to ashes one after another under the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation activated by Jiang Jue, their bodies and souls remaining intact.

This scene shocked all the evil gods in the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom, and their morale suffered a heavy blow.

As one of the many divine kingdoms of the evil god race, the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom has a stronger foundation than ordinary divine kingdoms, but the strength is still limited.

Apart from the Nine Nether God Lord, who is at the peak of the Nine Tribulations, the core strength of the entire Divine Kingdom consists of these several God Lords at the level of Seven Tribulations Great Heavenly Venerable.

But now, these Seven Tribulation Great Celestial Venerables have fallen one after another in a short period of time.

With the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in hand and radiating murderous intent, Jiang Jue was now unstoppable.

"kill!"

Jiang Jue's eyes were cold, devoid of any pity.

He wielded the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, like a god of slaughter descended to earth, rampaging through the army of evil gods.

The nine immortal swords were like the scythe of death; with each flash, they took the lives of countless evil gods.

The power of the killing sword formation crashed down, its sword energy stretching for billions of miles. The immortal realms occupied by evil gods trembled violently in the terrifying aftershocks of the sword energy, mountains and rivers collapsed, stars dimmed, and finally turned into cosmic dust. Countless evil gods bled and fell in despair.

The deaths of numerous evil gods made the killing aura emanating from the nine immortal swords even more intense and terrifying.

The killing intent was almost tangible, turning into a faint blood-red mist that swirled around the sword. If an ordinary Celestial Venerable dared to examine it carefully with their divine sense, just one glance would give them a terrifying illusion that their soul was being pricked by needles and swords, and was about to shatter.

This scene, witnessed by the Nine Nether God Lord who was being tightly entangled by Gu Qingfeng and unable to break free, made him so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was extremely anxious and became somewhat exasperated.

Those who were slaughtered were the accumulated resources and people of his Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom over countless years.

Now, he could only watch helplessly as a retainer of the Xuan Tian Immortal Dynasty used his supreme treasure to slaughter indiscriminately in his territory, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

If Jiang Jue is allowed to kill without any restraint, then even if Gu Qingfeng is eventually defeated or killed, his Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom will be crippled and become a mere shell of its former self.

The Nine Nether God Lord was well aware of the survival rules of the evil god race.

If it really comes to that, the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom, with its strength greatly diminished, will inevitably become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other covetous evil god kingdoms, and will be divided up by them.

after all--

The evil god clan has never been a monolithic entity; the law of the jungle, plunder and devouring, is an unchanging truth.

The Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom is not without rivals among the evil gods, and the Nine Netherworld God Lord himself is well aware of the serious consequences of this.

There's no way!

Gu Qingfeng is too strong!
The Netherworld Path was unpredictable and mysterious; the waters of the Yellow Springs were impervious to all magic. Under the suppression of the illusory images of the eighteen levels of hell, he felt unprecedented pressure.

Even the Nine Nether God Lord was forced into a perilous situation, and could only deal with the situation with all his might. He had no way to spare any effort to stop Jiang Jue, and could only watch helplessly with his eyes wide with anger.

Because of his anxiety and concern for the battle below, the Nine Nether God Lord made a very slight oversight and slowed down his attack rhythm for a moment.

However, this insignificant moment was precisely captured by Gu Qingfeng, who had a keen insight into the battle situation.

"flaw!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Qingfeng's eyes. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he moved closer like a ghost. His palm, imbued with the power of the eighth level of the Netherworld Dao, seemed to pierce through layers of spatial barriers and struck the chest of the Nine Nether God Lord, which had become enormous due to his manifested true form, at an incredible angle.

"Bam—!"

A dull, deafening roar resounded, as if a vast world had been shattered in the palm of one's hand.

The Netherworld Dao principles, condensed to their extreme, erupted instantly, and the power of death and reincarnation, like maggots clinging to bones, surged wildly into the body of the Nine Netherworld God.

"Ugh!"

The Nine Nether God Lord let out a shrill and painful scream. His evil god body, which was harder than divine metal, was visibly decaying and rotting at the point where the palm print struck him. Then, like a sand sculpture that had been weathered for millions of years, it disintegrated and disappeared inch by inch.

Half of his chest and an arm were completely obliterated and reduced to nothingness by this single palm strike.

Such severe injuries caused the ruler of the Nine Netherworld Divine Kingdom to instantly weaken, suffering an unprecedented blow. (End of Chapter)
