Dark-red divine chains shot forth one after another.
Like chains of order, they shot out from all directions around the altar.
They wove together into a Heaven-and-Earth Net, surging toward Yang Lingtian.
Every divine chain contained enough terrifying power to obliterate a Peak Divine Sect expert.
"Parlor tricks!"
Yang Lingtian let out a long howl, and the Sky-Piercing Divine Sword in his hand erupted with dazzling gray sword radiance.
"Open!"
He slashed out with his sword. There was no earth-shaking boom, nor any dazzling, extravagant display of light.
There was only a plain, unadorned gray sword ray that flashed by, yet seemed to contain the supreme principles of heaven and earth.

He hovered above the dark-red pool of liquid, looking down upon it from on high.
"So this is your power? Nothing special."
His voice was calm, yet filled with boundless dominance and confidence.

It had never imagined that anyone could break through its "Sky-Burying Divine Chains" so easily.

Gurgle... gurgle... gurgle...
The dark-red pool of liquid below suddenly began to churn violently.
Its throbbing came more than ten times faster than before.
An unprecedented aura, evil to the extreme, frantically spread out from within.
"You... have successfully... enraged me..."
That consciousness became incomparably venomous
