Chapter 923: Terrifying Strength
Chapter 923: Terrifying Strength
There were many reasons why she decided to fight Plain-Skirt Destiny.
First of all, she had done nothing but stand next to Ye Xuan, and her presence was barely noticeable. Secondly, she seemed ordinary and unremarkable.
Lastly, she seemed to be Ye Xuan's subordinate, and the way she stood made it obvious that she was inferior to Ye Xuan.
The Third Hall Master believed that even though this Plain-Skirt Destiny had some strength, it would not be much.
When Ye Guan heard the Third Hall Master's words, he was stunned. She chose Plain-Skirt Aunt? Great choice!
Of course, the outcome would be the same no matter whom she chose between the three people. The only difference was that by choosing Plain-Skirt Aunt, she probably wouldn't die just once.
All eyes turned to Plain-Skirt Destiny; they were curious about her.
Hearing the Third Hall Master's words, Ye Xuan chuckled, then turned to the woman beside him and smiled. "Qing'er, she wants to fight you. How about you exchange a few moves with her?"
Plain-Skirt Destiny looked at the Third Hall Master and raised a brow. "A few moves?"
"Hahaha." Ye Xuan laughed heartily. "My bad."She stared at the Third Hall Master, her expression as calm as water.
Swoosh!
The Third Hall Master soared into the sky, and in an instant, countless lightning tribulations filled the Ascension World. It was a scene out of a universe tribulation!
What remained of the Ascension World became a sea of lightning, and endless tribulation lightning surged from all directions.
The overwhelming power caused everyone's expressions to change drastically, forcing them to retreat even farther away.
Li Suifeng and the others beside Ye Guan were astonished at the sight.
There was no denying it—the Evil Dao Alliance's Third Hall Master was terrifyingly powerful; her strength far surpassed Dao Emperor Zhaowu.
Li Suifeng and the others then looked at Plain-Skirt Destiny, wondering how she'd deal with the fearsome tribulation lightning.
Plain-Skirt Destiny stared calmly at the Third Hall Master with her eyes devoid of any emotion.
She was completely indifferent! As if she was staring at an ant!
The Third Hall Master noticed that, and she was furious.
She reached out and clenched her fist. The countless tribulation lightning gathered in her hand like a tidal wave, forming a blood-red tribulation sword.
Then, she leaped into the air above Plain-Skirt Destiny and slashed down with all her might.
Crack!
As the sword descended, the boundless power of tribulation lightning rushed toward Plain-Skirt Destiny.
And that was when Plain-Skirt Destiny flicked her fingers…
Bam!
The overwhelming tribulation lightning vanished.
The Third Hall Master was frozen in mid-air, and there was a sword lodged in her forehead.
An instant defeat—it was another instant defeat!
Everyone was petrified, and it was so silent around that one could hear the sound of a pin drop.
The Tianwu Clan members nearly collapsed to the ground. They were completely and utterly filled with despair. They knew they were doomed—it was over.
Tianwu Xin stared in disbelief, muttering, "H-h-how is this possible?! This is impossible!"
"You beast!" Tianwu Shi roared at her, "You've doomed the Tianwu Clan!"
Tianwu Xin slumped to the ground, her face ashen.
Both Dao Emperor Zhaowu and the Third Hall Master were defeated instantly!
It was over, and the Tianwu Clan was finished.
"HAHAHA!" Li Ming burst out into wild, unbridled laughter. Although he was already dead, he still did not want to see the downfall of his Li Clan. Of course, the reason he was laughing was that the Tianwu Clan and the others were finished.
It was such an incredibly satisfying sight. His descendants had proven to be smarter than those of the Tianwu Clan and the Wuma Clan! His descendants had done him proud!
The Nine Swords of Dao Tian and the monks from the Dark Buddha Temple shot into the sky, fleeing frantically from the Ascension World.
They were holding on to a shred of hope in the form of the Third Hall Master, but the glimmer of hope shattered with the Third Hall Master's instant defeat.
They had to flee!
At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds—flee as far as possible.
The Coffin Emperor glanced at Plain-Skirt Destiny and the two men in the sky.
He hesitated briefly, but he ultimately decided not to run away.
Just then, Plain-Skirt Destiny raised her delicate hand.
Schwing!
Sixteen heads flew into the sky in the distance.
The sword light was so fast that even though their heads had already been chopped off, their bodies were still flying away. This created a bizarre scene featuring heads chasing after their flying bodies.
The most horrifying part was that the sixteen heads were still awake.
They witnessed the bizarre scene with their own eyes. Then, their eyes widened like saucers upon realizing their situation, and their expressions contorted in indescribable terror.
It wasn't just them. Everyone present went numb in disbelief.
A wave of her hand had decapitated sixteen Path Creation Realm experts!
Her strength was beyond terrifying.
The experts of the Tianwu Clan and the Wuma Clans despaired. They had considered fleeing, thinking that while they couldn't defeat these three, they could probably escape with their lives.
However, the scene before them made it clear that they had no chance of escaping—zilch.
They were like ants before Plain-Skirt Destiny.
No, they were inferior to ants.
Cold sweat formed on the Coffin Emperor's forehead, and he felt an overwhelming sense of relief. He was incredibly grateful that he hadn't joined the others in fleeing.
Otherwise, his head would have flown away as well. This is absurd! Damn it! The outside world is terrifying. I want to go home!
Plain-Skirt Destiny opened her palm, and sixteen storage rings flew over to Ye Guan. He accepted them and said, "Thank you, Aunt."
Plain-Skirt Destiny nodded slightly, and then she looked over at the distant Third Hall Master.
The Third Hall Master's face was filled with disbelief, mirroring Dao Emperor Zhaowu's expression. However, she truly couldn't accept her defeat.
After all, she was an Evil Dao and not just any ordinary Evil Dao, but one born from a universe region's tribulation.
She had developed consciousness and became a swordsman. Then, she combined her Sword Dao with her Tribulation Dao to create a completely new path.
Throughout her life, she had only been defeated once. Since then, no opponent had ever survived more than three strikes of her sword, and she could kill Path Creation Realm cultivators as easily as slaughtering chickens.
Yet, at this moment, she was defeated with just a single sword strike—just one!
She fell into despair.
Ye Guan then pointed at Tianwu Shi and the others.
Tianwu Shi was at a loss for words.
Plain-Skirt Destiny turned her gaze to them. When her eyes fell on them, their faces turned pale with fear, and they trembled like aspen trees.
Tianwu Shi bowed deeply toward Ye Guan and said, "Young Master Ye, the Tianwu Clan is willing to surrender. Please give us a chance to mend our ways."
Ye Guan neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he looked up at Li Han in the sky and said, "Brother Li, you decide."
Li Han was momentarily stunned, surprised by Ye Guan's response. Realizing that Ye Guan was serious, he was deeply touched. With a smile, he replied, "Of course, they should be eliminated to prevent future troubles."
With that, he stared at Plain-Skirt Destiny, but the latter ignored him.
Ye Guan smiled faintly and said, "Aunt."
Plain-Skirt Destiny waved her sleeve and erased Tianwu Shi from existence. The remaining people of the Tianwu Clan and the Wuma Clan were wiped out in an instant as well.
The experts of the Li Clan were shocked. They were obliterated in an instant!
When did Path Creation Realm cultivators become so weak?
After their shock came overwhelming joy, the Li Clan had staked everything on this gamble, and they had won. They all looked at Li Han, growing fonder of him by the second.
An elder of the Li Clan even stroked his beard and chuckled. "That kid has always been smart. No wonder he shares my surname."
The lips of his clansmen twitched. We all have the surname Li!
Just then, more than twenty storage rings flew across the sky and landed in front of Ye Guan.
Ye Guan's heart skipped a beat, and he bowed deeply. "Thank you, Aunt!"
With that, he hurriedly collected the storage rings. It was a huge profit!
Just then, Ye Guan recalled something and approached his aunt. He took out a pile of white bones and said softly, "Aunt, I have a request…"
He then recounted the promise he had made to Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong appeared just then. He was in his soul form, as his fleshly body had been reduced to ashes earlier. He appeared both anxious and nervous as he stared at Plain-Skirt Destiny.
Plain-Skirt Destiny stared wordlessly at the pile of bones.
Ye Guan gently called out, "Aunt?"
Plain-Skirt Destiny extended her right hand over the bones and—
Boom!
A strange passageway abruptly appeared above everyone, and a terrifying world was revealed within it. It was a blood-red world, and eerie, horrifying screams reverberated from it. There were also malevolent spirits with distorted faces beyond the passageway.
"Abyssal Hell!"
The expression of the Eighth Hall Master turned grave. He had stumbled upon that place before, and it was not a pleasant experience at all.
A young man kneeling before a stone gate in the Ninth Heaven exclaimed, "Master! S-s-she has forcibly opened the Reincarnation Passage. This is a grave violation of the natural order! Are you not going to stop her?"
"Shut up!" A hand covered the young man's mouth, and a voice whispered into his ear, "Act like you can't see anything."
The scene within the passageway peeled away, and the interior of a pitch-black hall was revealed. Emperor Yong's eyes widened; there was a maid inside the hall, and she was none other than his older sister.
"She has yet to reincarnate, but her memories have been erased," Plain-Skirt Destiny remarked, "She's a ghost at the moment, but I can restore her memories and her body."
Ye Guan turned to Emperor Yong.
Emperor Yong shook his head. "No need."
Plain-Skirt Destiny slowly withdrew her right hand, but an enraged voice abruptly boomed from the hall. "Who dares to open the Great Dao Reincarnation Passage and trespass on my Abyssal Hell?! Are you tired of living?"
A colossal hand of a beast shot up from Abyssal Hell. It pierced the Great Dao Reincarnation Passage and appeared above Plain-Skirt Destiny and everyone. Then, it swung downward with a cataclysmic force.
