Above the sky, the domain dissipated.
Phoenix Emperor coldly watched the scattering ashes below, the traces of Albert's Annihilation.
However, in the very next second...
Phoenix Emperor's eyes suddenly burst with wild joy!
Because Albert's body was forcibly pieced together from the remains and souls of powerful individuals possessing various elemental Supernatural Ability.
At this moment, he was completely Annihilation by the Phoenix Emperor. The unclaimed Supernatural Ability belonging to the dead surged towards the Phoenix Emperor like rivers flowing into the sea!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The Phoenix Emperor closed its eyes and opened its arms.
She could clearly feel completely new elemental forces awakening and Fusion within her body!
Darkness, thunder, wind, water...
After a while, the Phoenix Emperor suddenly opened its eyes.
"The eight elements... have all gathered!!!"
Phoenix Emperor felt the unprecedented vast power within its body, and was so excited that its whole body trembled.
"Now... I only have one last piece of the puzzle left!"
"Light!!!"
"Once I obtain the elemental Supernatural Ability of [Light], I can shed this filthy and eerie body and become a true god! I will then resurrect Jiangnan!"
Hahahaha!!! Hahahaha!!!
The Phoenix Emperor stood high in the heavens, laughing wildly and unrestrainedly, its laughter echoing throughout Soul Return Town.
The smoke of battle still lingered on the ruins of the Shen Residence.
The Clown, who had just escaped here, happened to witness what was happening high in the sky.
Seeing Albert's body reduced to ashes, the Clown's legs went weak, and he knelt down in the rubble.
"No... this is impossible! It can't be!!!"
The Clown grabbed his blond hair, buried his head deep in the ground, and pounded the earth, weeping bitterly.
"How could the Evil God lose?!"
"How could they die without leaving even ashes!"
"What's worse, the old woman's head is still inside the Evil God's body!"
Just as he was wailing in despair, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder gently.
The Clown, his face streaked with tears, looked up and met the Dusk's face, which wore a silly grin.
Dusk didn't speak, but simply pointed with one finger at a shooting star streaking across the distant sky.
The Clown was already heartbroken and was about to unleash a torrent of abuse at the idiot, but the next second, all his words caught in his throat.
Dusk seemed to casually make a gesture of plucking stars from the distant horizon.
"Buzz!"
Ripples spread through the space.
The shooting star that was once on the horizon fell into the palm of Dusk.
Dusk chuckled foolishly and handed the item in his hand to the Clown.
The Clown still harbored some Wrath, but when he saw the gift in Dusk's hand, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!
That wasn't a shooting star at all, it was clearly an old woman's head!
"My God... this is possible?!"
The ecstasy of finding what was lost instantly dispelled the Clown's sorrow.
He was so excited that he hugged Dusk tightly and shouted repeatedly that it was all thanks to him.
Dusk just scratched his head and chuckled foolishly.
The scene here was quite heartwarming, but at the other end of Soul Return Town, the atmosphere was completely different.
"Damn it! You pervert, will you ever stop?!"
The Madman is running frantically through the ruins like a stray dog!
Behind him, Jiangnan held the Human Emperor Lamp in one hand, ignoring the sound of the explosion, and kept his eyes glued to the Madman!
The Madman is now beyond tears.
His emotional Supernatural Ability were already extremely useless in one-on-one combat, but with the cripple behind him, he was practically a God of Slaughter!
Countless townspeople he used as shields along the way were smashed into mincemeat by that broken lamp!
Just as the Madman was about to be caught, the Suppression [Lu Mingfei] personality within him suddenly unleashed its power!
That was Lu Mingfei's deepest anger towards Soul Return Town, which had been building up in his heart for many years!
This [anger] instantly overwhelmed the Madman's [Envy], transforming into a surge of energy that forcefully accelerated the Madman's body!
He narrowly escaped a meteor hammer blow and sprinted towards the Shen Residence.
Jiangnan watched his prey suddenly accelerate, but instead of being discouraged, he revealed a cold smile.
"Run... run... run as fast as you can to your friends."
He was deliberately playing the long game to catch a big fish.
Let's wipe out this whole nest of rats.
Without any hesitation, Jiangnan transformed into a blur and pursued closely behind.
A moment later, the Madman scrambled into the ruins of the Shen Residence.
When he saw that the Clown and Dusk hadn't run away, but were actually hugging and whispering sweet nothings to each other, he was furious!
"I was risking my life up front! You sold me out and came here to have some gay romance, huh?!"
Enraged, the Madman rushed forward and punched both the Clown and Dusk on the head, angrily denouncing the Clown as a deserter who had abandoned his post.
"Calm down!"
The Clown shoved him aside, his face grave. "The Evil God has been defeated. We can't stay here!"
We need to run away immediately!
As he spoke, the Clown pulled a teleportation talisman that shimmered faintly from his pocket.
This is a talisman paper capable of traversing great realms and directly teleporting back to the Canglan Continent; it was made by Dusk.
Seeing this, the Madman felt a little safer and hurriedly urged him on.
"Then what are we waiting for? Start it now!"
The Clown nodded, cradling the Tailor's head and the Ten Thousand Souls Orb in one arm.
With his other hand, he grabbed the Dusk, just about to infuse spiritual power into the talisman.
"Snap."
A snap of fingers suddenly rang out behind the three of them.
Jiangnan had unknowingly found itself standing atop ruins.
But the snap of the fingers did not trigger the [Momentary Eternity] time freeze.
This... is a signal!
The instant the fingers snapped, Dusk's previously dazed eyes instantly became clear!
Without the slightest hesitation, he reversed his hand, forming a knife-like shape with his fingers, and unleashed a spatial slash directly at the two people beside him!
"Whoosh!!!"
Blood shot into the sky! Before the Madman could even react, his legs were severed at the root by an invisible Sharp Blade!
"Ah! Dusk, what are you doing!"
He let out a scream as his entire upper body flew out horizontally.
The Clown, however, managed to twist his waist to the limit thanks to his Savage Battle Body, barely escaping being cut in half at the waist.
But this clumsy dodge caused him to flick his wrist, and both the [Tailor's Head] and the [Ten Thousand Souls Orb] flew out of his hand at the same time!
"No!!!"
The Clown's eyes were bloodshot as he desperately reached out to retrieve [the Tailor's head].
But at that moment, the teleportation talisman he was clutching tightly in his hand was activated.
A beam of white light shot into the sky, enveloping the surrounding space.
The Clown, filled with resentment and horror, was forced to fly solo and was teleported out of the Weird Island alone.
Only the Madman, who had lost both legs and was screaming in agony, and the indifferent Dusk remained standing there.
"What the hell are you doing?!"
The Madman lay in a pool of blood, roaring angrily at the Dusk.
But Dusk didn't even glance at him; he simply bent down silently and picked up the [Tailor's Head] and [Ten Thousand Souls Orb] from the ground.
Then, he turned around and walked towards Jiangnan, standing behind him.
"This... how is this possible..."
The Madman's eyes widened, utterly filled with despair. "Dusk is a traitor?"
Jiangnan's eyes were filled with mockery.
All of this dates back to when the three of them were ambushed at the inn.
At that time, Jiangnan used [Word Spirit - Divine Edict] on the Dusk area while time stood still.
That inviolable law of the soul had long ago completely altered the underlying will of Dusk.
The moment they hear him snap his fingers, they'll immediately tear off their masks and defect!
This time bomb planted within the Desolate God Society finally blew the Madman to pieces at this moment.
"Alright, game over."
Jiangnan tossed the Human Emperor Lamp in his hand, preparing to collect the cripple on the ground into it.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the sky.
Phoenix Emperor clad in White Flame Battle Armor descended upon the ruins!
Her gaze was fixed on Jiangnan.
"You... you're still alive?"
Jiangnan met her gaze without flinching. "Of course."
Hearing that voice that haunted his dreams yet was incredibly irritating, and seeing the other person's empty right shoulder, Phoenix Emperor froze on the spot.
She felt an overwhelming surge of excitement, mixed with a near-hysterical rage!
What's exciting is that the man who occupied her life for a thousand years is still alive, and she has also completed the puzzle of the elements!
What infuriated her was that this unfaithful man dared to speak to her in such a flippant tone!
Given Jiangnan's unruly personality, if we don't completely cripple him...
If I break his pride, I'll never get him in this lifetime!
To possess him exclusively!
"Since that's the case... then let's kill him first!"
A morbid thought began to grow in Phoenix Emperor's mind.
"I will resurrect him after I have fully become a god."
"Clean him out like a blank sheet of paper, keep him by your side and re-train him!"
"But... wouldn't that put the cart before the horse?"
"No, I need to think about it some more!"
Just as the Phoenix Emperor's left and right hemispheres were frantically battling each other.
The Madman, lying in a pool of blood, tried to take this opportunity to burn his life essence and escape.
However, at this moment, the Lu Mingfei within him launched the most resolute self-destructive counterattack!
"You're not allowed to leave!!!"
Lu Mingfei's subconscious roared, and his obsession with [anger] consumed the Madman's reason at this moment, seizing control of his body!
"I've clung to life, waiting for this day! Waiting for this day to take my revenge on you!!!"
Lu Mingfei stared at Phoenix Emperor, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.
You treat human life like dirt, and now you've caused the death of my beloved!
I'll make you pay the same price!
"Boom!"
Lu Mingfei unleashed his [Anger] to its maximum!
This is all the anger he's accumulated over decades of being a sycophant!
He was going to forcefully ignite the evil thoughts deep within Phoenix Emperor's heart!
"Court death."
Jiangnan immediately sensed something was wrong.
He didn't want the situation to get out of control, so he directly swung the Human Emperor Lamp.
With a heavy blow, Lu Mingfei's body was instantly smashed into a pile of minced meat!
Chains flew, drawing the two entangled souls into the belly of the lamp.
But... it was too late.
Lu Mingfei's life-or-death rage had successfully invaded the Phoenix Emperor's consciousness.
This Wrath was like a weight, making the Phoenix Emperor's morbid possessiveness the victor on the scales!
Phoenix Emperor's previously conflicted gaze instantly turned lifeless, with only a madness throbbing deep within.
She made a decision.
She wanted to kill Jiangnan with her own hands!
Then revive him!
Seeing the [Divine Phoenix Karma Fire] reignited on Phoenix Emperor's body, Jiangnan cursed aloud.
"That woman is the real Madman!"
Jiangnan knew very well that Lu Mingfei's [anger] was just an amplifier.
It cannot create emotions out of thin air; it can only amplify the thoughts that already exist in the target's mind.
This means that, deep down, Phoenix Emperor really did want to kill him and then Restart!
"In that case, there's nothing more to say."
Jiangnan hung the Human Emperor Lamp back on his waist and gripped the Godslayer Spear in his left hand.
He no longer needs to hold back, nor is he required to.
The life-or-death battle that will determine the ultimate fate of the entire Soul Return Town is about to begin!
