Besides!
Its mission was to hold the defensive line; it only needed to drive them back!
Naturally, there was no need to squander its own exceedingly precious Law Origin for mere ants.
For these reasons, it had not continued the pursuit.
Soon, after sensing that divine sword had departed, the Eighth Divine Envoy finally withdrew its gaze.
Then!
It sat cross-legged in the air amid this Blood Baleful Mist, quietly standing guard.
Yet the fiercest battleground...
Naturally lay deep within the Blood Baleful Mist.
At this moment, Island-Moving Venerable had already slipped deep into the Blood Baleful Mist. Just as he was preparing to sneak across to Purgatory Continent...
Suddenly!
A swath of blood-colored radiance swept toward him.
Island-Moving Venerable reacted with extraordinary speed. Spirit Light flashed beneath his feet, and he traced a graceful arc through the air, evading the incoming blood-colored radiance.
Looking again, that golden flowing light had already appeared a thousand zhang beyond the blood-colored radiance.
The golden light faded.
Island-Moving Venerable gripped his dark-gold great axe, his expression grave as he looked down upon the figure emerging from the blood-colored radiance.
It was a Purgatory Race Divine Envoy clad in blood armor, with a savage visage.
And not an ordinary Divine Envoy at that, but the strongest of the Divine Envoy lineage—the Grand Divine Envoy.
At this moment, the Grand Divine Envoy held a blood-colored battle halberd. Strands of razor-sharp Blood Law power flowed endlessly along the blades on either side of its tip.
Its aura was fierce!
It carried an overwhelming sense of oppression.
The two stared each other down, the scene taut and intense.
Terrifying pressure mixed with vast Law fluctuations burst forth with the two at their center.
The surrounding Blood Baleful Mist was also forced outward by the spreading pressure.
Then.
