Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Everyone gathered in the palace hall.

Ling Yun broke the silence first: "Although Xue Tutian is dead, the forces behind him are still hiding in the shadows and could make a comeback at any time. Moreover, the matter of the ancient demon god fragments has made us realize that there may be a more complex conspiracy behind it."

The Styx Ancestor's expression was gloomy as he agreed, "Indeed, the power contained in that ancient demon god fragment is extremely strange. Xue Tutian only used a part of it, and it has already become so troublesome. If it were obtained by other people with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The Creator stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Our most urgent task is to set aside past grievances, strengthen communication and cooperation among all parties, and jointly address the unknown threats. At the same time, we must also investigate places in the universe where similar dangerous objects may exist."

The Heavenly Dao nodded slightly, its gaze profound: "I can use my perception of the laws of heaven and earth to assist in searching for areas that may harbor dangerous forces. But this requires the cooperation of all parties, after all, the universe is vast and boundless, and it is difficult to accomplish this by one person alone."

Just as everyone was discussing the matter intensely...

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from outside the palace.

Everyone's expression changed, and they hurriedly rushed out of the palace to check.

The once calm nebula region was once again rippled with strange waves.

Countless black mists converged from all directions, forming a huge black vortex in the starry sky.

A sinister roar faintly emanated from the vortex, as if some terrifying being was about to descend.

"What's going on? Could there be some other unexpected event?"

Ling Yun's expression was solemn as he gripped the divine weapon tightly in his hand.

Everyone watched the black vortex warily, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts.

As black mist continued to pour into the vortex, the vortex grew larger and larger, and the surrounding space began to distort and deform.

Suddenly, a black beam of light shot into the sky from the vortex, and a blurry figure appeared within the beam.

Although the figure was not yet clear, everyone could already feel an evil aura several times stronger than Xue Tutian rushing towards them...

The blurry figure within the black beam of light gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be a person draped in a black robe and wearing a strange mask.

He was surrounded by a dense aura of darkness, and every breath he took seemed to make the surrounding space tremble.

"You think everything is over once you've dealt with Xue Tutian? How naive!"

The man in black robes spoke in a cold voice, a voice that struck the hearts of everyone like a heavy hammer.

Ling Yun glared at the man in black robes and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you causing all this trouble?"

The man in black robes let out a sinister laugh.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you will all become sacrifices to my plan. Xue Tutian was just a pawn I threw out. Now that you have destroyed my pawn, you must pay the price!"

After saying that, the man in black robes raised his hand and waved it. Countless black lightning bolts shot out from the vortex, like ferocious pythons, and slashed towards the crowd.

Everyone reacted quickly, each using their own supernatural abilities to defend themselves.

Ling Yun raised the divine artifact high above his head, and a golden light screen instantly unfolded.

Like an indestructible shield, it blocked all the black lightning.

Although the attack by the man in black robes was temporarily blocked, the man's strength seemed unfathomable, and this was merely a probing attack.

Moreover, as time went on, the black vortex continued to absorb the surrounding energy, becoming increasingly powerful.

The aura emanating from the man in black robes was also steadily increasing.

"This can't go on, we must take the initiative!" Ling Yun shouted.

Everyone nodded in agreement, but they knew that taking the initiative to attack against such a powerful opponent was undoubtedly a gamble with their lives on the line.

Just as everyone was preparing to launch their attack, the man in black robes seemed to have sensed their intentions.

He sneered and waved his hands again, causing a large number of dark creatures to surge out of the black vortex.

These dark creatures came in various shapes and sizes, some resembling wolves and others snakes. They bared their fangs and claws and pounced on the group, instantly surrounding them...

Dark creatures surged in like a tide, instantly engulfing everyone.

These dark creatures exuded a nauseating stench, and each one possessed powerful dark energy.

A gigantic, wolf-like dark creature opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Ling Yun.

Ling Yun drew a dazzling golden arc with his divine weapon, slashing directly at the wolf's head.

The wolf-like creature was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the divine weapon. It let out a mournful howl and vanished into a cloud of black smoke.

However, more dark creatures filled the void and continued their frenzied attack.

The Styx Ancestor was entangled by several serpentine dark creatures. He snorted coldly, and the power of the Blood Sea erupted, instantly turning these serpentine creatures into dust.

But at the same time, a group of bat-like dark creatures pounced on him, their sharp claws gleaming coldly.

Just as everyone was locked in a fierce battle, Meng Po suddenly discovered that these dark creatures seemed to be wary of some kind of special aura.

She recalled that when she was in the underworld, she had come into contact with a strange object called "Purifying Incense," whose fragrance could dispel evil spirits.

Although she didn't have any Cleansing Incense, she had a flash of inspiration and used magic to simulate a similar aura.

Meng Po muttered incantations, and a strange fragrance spread out from her.

Upon smelling the fragrance, the dark creatures became restless and their attack rhythm was thrown into chaos.

The previously well-organized attack formation developed a flaw.

"Everyone, seize the opportunity!"

Ling Yun shouted, and everyone's spirits lifted, seizing the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Ling Yun unleashed a full-force attack, the divine artifact's light illuminating the entire area and instantly annihilating a large number of dark creatures in the surroundings.

The Styx Ancestor also unleashed the power of the Blood Sea to its fullest extent, transforming it into a crimson torrent that surged towards the dark creature horde.

Wherever they passed, the dark creatures vanished.

The Heavenly Dao seized upon a slight opening revealed by the black-robed man amidst the chaos caused by the dark creatures, and gathered its power of law to attack him.

The Heavenly Dao's attack, imbued with the power of the laws of heaven and earth, was like a dazzling white beam of light, heading straight for the man in black robes.

Sensing the threat of this attack, the man in black snorted coldly, and the dark aura around him instantly condensed into a huge black shield, blocking in front of him.

Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed man was fully engaged in resisting the Heavenly Dao's attack, Ling Yun, Ancestor Styx, and others seized the opportunity and launched an even more ferocious attack.

The man in black robes appeared somewhat disheveled under the combined attack of the group.

But he is, after all, exceptionally strong.

After a brief moment of panic, quickly regain your composure.

In an instant, he transformed the black shield blocking his way into countless gluttonous beasts with gaping maws from the black abyss.

At the same time, he shouted to Ling Yun and the others, "You brats in the Primordial Chaos, let me show you the power of the Black Hole Messenger."
