As Heaven-Hunting Great Sage charged back into battle, he said to Xiahou You without looking back:
"The Jade Mother said earlier that once her business was settled, she would send Taiping down to finish off this Heavenly Calamity Blightbone and put an end to this blightbone disaster once and for all!"
As he spoke, a boom rang out. Heaven-Hunting Great Sage manifested his mountain-sized ninth-turn golden body and slammed toward Heavenly Calamity Blightbone.
"Bang!"
With a tremendous crash, Heaven-Hunting Great Sage once again smashed Heavenly Calamity Blightbone's chest apart with a punch.
But Heavenly Calamity Blightbone once again threw back his head and roared.
Black vortices rapidly spread outward from his body.
"Xiao You! Go!"
At that moment, Heavenly Lord Shihu also shouted at Xiahou You. Then his figure transformed into an enormous sword shadow and swept across Heavenly Calamity Blightbone.
"Boom...!"
That sweeping strike actually obliterated half the black vortices.
"Bang!"
But before his sword intent had subsided, Heavenly Calamity Blightbone's nine arms came crashing down on him in unison.
"Bang-!"
In an instant, the sword shadows around him shattered, and his body exploded with a boom.
Although Xiahou You remained deeply worried at the sight, she knew there was no point in any of them staying here any longer.
So she turned to Qu Chao Ci, Ping'an, and the others and said:
"Everyone, leave this fifth layer with me."
They all nodded slightly at her words.
Only Ping'an frowned toward the sacrificial platform and murmured:
"Eldest Brother, we'll go on-"
"Boom...!"
But before Ping'an could finish, a ball of fire suddenly fell from the chaotic stars above the sacrificial platform.
"Bang!"
Before anyone could recover, the ball of fire abruptly burst apart.
A figure with strands of golden thread whirling around his entire body appeared before them.
Everyone
