Shen Ni Falls, Luo Hou Flees Injured

Because he could escape into the Black Giant Coffin in critical moments, Li Yi dared to slaughter Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators on the battlefield without restraint.

Originally, Li Yi hadn't expected to actually need to escape into the giant coffin. After all, Golden Immortals posed no threat to him, and Grand Unity Golden Immortals were generally too lazy to attack Golden Immortals.

He was too heavily injured this time, and his objective had already been achieved. There was no point in killing any further. The Four Supreme Beings should be arriving soon, so Li Yi simply hid inside the giant coffin.

Li Yi lay in a space within the giant coffin, mobilizing his life force to continuously mend the wounds within his body. At the same time, he summarized the battles of this period.

"My current combat power should be comparable to an ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortal, especially my final move," Li Yi thought with some distress. "Although that last move had immense power, it also basically drained all the Power of Slaughter and life force within my body. I can only use it as a last resort for survival."

When fighting enemies, Li Yi usually manifested his intent, forming external appearances like "lotuses" and the "Taiji Diagram" to attack. However, the Nirvana Sword Dao was different. These external forms could only unleash a portion of their power. It wasn't a problem with the external forms themselves, but rather Li Yi's mental will struggled to fully manifest these intents into external forms. Therefore, he could only rely on the sword's main body to unleash the complete Nirvana Sword Dao. Otherwise, that fellow wouldn't have been able to escape the Taiji Diagram at all.

Li Yi continued to summarize within the giant coffin, while the battle outside reached its climax. Before the fight, there were nearly a trillion cultivators and over 1.2 trillion Fierce Beasts. Now, only a little over 70 billion cultivators and a little over 100 billion Fierce Beasts remained. Among them, only a little over 1,500 Grand Unity Golden Immortals were left, more than half having perished. This illustrated the cruelty of this war.

Four figures simultaneously stepped out of the void: Hongjun, Yang Mei, Luo Hou, and Shen Ni.

"Roar!!!"

Shen Ni was the first to reveal its true form. Unlike last time, its massive beast claws now held a blood-stained divine spear. This spear exuded an endless killing intent, containing a will that could destroy everything and extinguish all life. Just a glance at it made one feel as if they were submerged in a boundless sea of blood.

This spear was named the God Slaying Spear. It was formed from the 36-petal Green Lotus Stem, an ultimate Innate Spiritual Treasure. Apart from being unable to suppress destiny, its power was no less than an Innate Supreme Treasure. It specialized in slaughter and was a Supreme Treasure of Slaughter Dao.

"I didn't expect this spear to fall into your hands," Yang Mei's expression was grave. After all, how could a weapon comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure be underestimated, especially in the hands of a master like Shen Ni? The power it unleashed was simply terrifying.

Yang Mei then produced a golden Willow Branch, which continuously devoured the surrounding space, possessing world-shattering power.

Above Hongjun's head, an ancient banner also appeared. wisps of Chaos Qi emanated from it, and tiny spatial rifts appeared in the surroundings. This ancient banner was precisely the Innate Supreme Treasure—the Pangu Banner.

Luo Hou was not to be outdone. A black Lotus Platform appeared beneath its feet, and behind it, a formation diagram with sword qi crisscrossing a dozen feet pulsed, with faint shadows of four swords.

"Roar!!!"

The massive beast claws, holding the divine spear, tilted slightly towards the sky. "Boom!" Several lightning bolts struck down from the sky. The killing intent and malevolent aura above the entire Hong Huang world converged madly and rapidly. Waves of "rumbling" sounds shook the entire Hong Huang. The endless killing intent and malevolent aura formed a massive black vortex.

A heaven-shattering aura surged upwards against the heavens. Streaks of lightning continuously descended, and boundless killing intent and malevolent aura converged. Finally, the dark curtain that had shrouded the Hong Huang world for over a million years vanished, transforming into a colossal spear shadow millions of feet tall.

The immense pressure caused the entire starry sky to tremble, with large swathes of spatial rifts appearing. The entire battlefield saw deep abysses tens of thousands of feet deep.

"Kill!!!"

The spear shadow pressed downwards. "Rumble!!!" A million-foot spatial abyss formed between Shen Ni and Yang Mei. A deafening roar, louder than all the battle cries on the entire battlefield, erupted. The colossal spear shadow rapidly shrank to a little over ten feet, pierced through the void, and in an instant, appeared before Yang Mei.

"Hmph!!!" Yang Mei grunted. The golden Willow Branch intertwined to form a hundred-foot-wide light screen. Boundless starlight from the void was forcefully drawn in, and the light screen instantly expanded for billions of feet, forming layers of barriers that blocked Yang Mei.

"Bang!!!"

The powerful aftershock caused the entire starry sky to collapse in an instant, with spatial rifts tens of thousands of feet wide appearing.

The demonic shadow behind Luo Hou let out a massive demonic roar. This sound contained endless killing intent, transforming into blades and swords that charged towards Hongjun.

At this moment, the demonic shadow detached from Luo Hou's body. Beneath its feet, an endless sea of corpses and blood appeared, with blood-red heads formed from resentment continuously emitting shrill wails.

The demonic shadow grabbed downwards with its feet, seizing the entire sea of corpses and blood. Under the effect of various hand seals, the entire sea of corpses and blood transformed into a blood-drenched skeletal giant claw.

"Crack," the skeletal giant claw tore through the void, following the blades and swords formed by the demonic roar.

Hongjun expressionlessly held the Pangu Banner horizontally in front of him and swept it towards the direction of the giant claw. Countless Chaos Sword Qi shot out across the sky.

The battle between the Four Supreme Beings was terrifying. The entire space was constantly collapsing, and massive energy beams carved countless giant rifts into the earth.

Countless cultivators died from the residual shockwaves of the Four Supreme Beings' battle, causing the entire battlefield to shift by a million miles.

The battle between the cultivators of both sides was also incredibly fierce. Their eyes bloodshot, they charged at their opponents, their blood-stained battle blades showing no mercy.

Suddenly, a heaven-shattering roar erupted from the area where the Four Supreme Beings were fighting. "Hongjun, you actually possess a fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation! Ah, you two are despicable and shameless!"

Luo Hou was currently enveloped by the light cast by a jade butterfly, trapped within and unable to escape. The demonic shadow swung its massive fists, continuously smashing against the light barrier, while Hongjun, wielding the Pangu Banner, and Yang Mei jointly attacked Shen Ni.

In reality, although the Jade Butterfly of Creation was precious, its offensive power was not strong. However, the restrictions on it were incredibly powerful, and even Luo Hou could not break them in a short time.

At this moment, Hongjun and Yang Mei were jointly attacking Shen Ni. Once Shen Ni perished, it went without saying that Luo Hou's fate would be tragic.

"Roar!!!"

The colossal God Slaying Spear moved freely, stirring the entire starry sky. Endless killing intent filled the entire battlefield. Hongjun continuously unleashed streaks of Chaos Sword Qi, and the golden Willow Branch in Yang Mei's hand was also terrifying, turning everything it passed into nothingness.

Even with Shen Ni's monstrous power, under the combined assault of Hongjun and Yang Mei, it began to falter. Not to mention that Hongjun and Yang Mei, these old monsters who had survived from Chaos, were already slightly stronger than it.

If it were a one-on-one fight, the outcome would be uncertain, but now, facing two opponents, the result was already decided. The heavily wounded giant beast reverted to its human form.

A trace of unwillingness appeared on Shen Ni's resolute face. Finally, it sighed helplessly. The victor becomes king, the loser becomes bandit. It would not curse the two for being despicable, as it would do the same if given the chance.

"Hmph, even if I die, I won't let you have it easy." Shen Ni's body suddenly emitted boundless light, forming a giant sphere of light that charged towards Hongjun and Yang Mei.

"Not good, it's going to self-destruct!"

The two were greatly alarmed and respectively used the Pangu Banner and the golden Willow Branch to wrap around their bodies, directly tearing through space to escape.

"Boom!!!"

"Boom!!!"

Two deafening explosions resounded throughout the Hong Huang. Faintly, a resentful voice could be heard, "Hongjun, you forced me to self-destruct my demonic shadow. Billions of years of hard work are ruined. I will not let you go."

Shen Ni's self-destruction, coupled with Luo Hou's self-destruction of its demonic shadow, caused a terrifying black hole tens of millions of feet wide to form in the sky above the battlefield, instantly swallowing more than half of the remaining Fierce Beasts and cultivators on the battlefield.

Hongjun and Yang Mei slowly reappeared. They exchanged a glance, both revealing a hint of relief. They hadn't expected Shen Ni to be so fierce and choose self-destruction. Coupled with Luo Hou's self-destruction of its demonic shadow, it was fortunate they escaped quickly, otherwise, they might have also perished. Even so, the two were not lightly injured.

Hongjun reached out and accepted the flying Jade Butterfly of Creation, then wiped it with the Pangu Banner. The black hole gradually disappeared. Then, without looking back, he flew away.

Yang Mei glanced briefly at the tragic battlefield. With a flick of its Willow Branch, a golden light slashed towards the remaining Fierce Beasts and Demon Domain cultivators, causing them to be almost completely annihilated. After that, it also transformed into a blurry figure and departed.
