As for the net of swords that filled the sky, it dissolved straight into nothingness.
In midair.
Huo Chen, Wu Tong, and Gu Xuan froze.
They remained in their spellcasting poses, their eyes fixed on the White-Clothed Youth below, their minds utterly blank.
"Wh... what kind of power is this?"
Huo Chen's voice trembled.
The Emperor Flame he took such pride in had actually been blown out with a single breath?
Even a Saint Grade Heavenly Demon Emperor could never have managed such a feat!
"A H-Half-Step Ruler..."
Looking into those pitch-black eyes, Gu Xuan finally realized something.
All the blood in his body turned ice-cold at that moment.
"Run!!!"
Gu Xuan roared at the top of his lungs.
"He's the Heavenly Evil God!!!"
At the mention of that name, Huo Chen and Wu Tong nearly wet themselves on the spot.
The Heavenly Evil God!
The legendary supreme ruler of the Outer Realm Evil Clan!
Hadn't he been sealed away? How could he appear in this Lower Plane?!
Without the slightest hesitation.
The three burned their essence blood, turned, and fled desperately toward the spatial rift that had yet to close.
Their trump cards, their mission.
None of it mattered anymore.
Before a true Half-Step Ruler, the three of them, mere Immortal Grades, were not even qualified to serve as cannon fodder!
"Think you can escape?"
Watching the three flee in panic, the White-Clothed Youth's lips curved into a cruel smile.
He slowly raised his right hand toward the three figures in midair and gently closed it.
"Bind."
Hum!
The space of the entire Lower Plane froze completely at that moment.
Huo Chen, Wu Tong, and Gu Xuan were pinned motionless in midair, less than a hundred feet from the spatial rift.
Yet those hundred feet became a heavenly chasm
