Bang, bang, bang!

Before Mo Lingqiu could rush into the sea, thousands of waves built up and crashed around. One by one, giant skeletons emerged from the waves. These were real giant skeletons; not those low-level ones that they met earlier on. These looked just like the ones that descended on Stellarsky Domain.

These skeletal giants measured up to a kilometer in height each. Their bodies were made entirely out of bones, and every bone on their body was glowing golden. Countless talisman patterns were floating around them. The strange thing was that while there was no flesh on their bones, they had eyeb.a.l.l.s and pupils that resembled normal humans’. The only difference was that their gazes were cool, evil, and full of the aura of death!

“High-level Netherworld Generals!”

Di Ming shouted out in a low voice, his body retreating back at top speed. At the same time, a white, long spear appeared in his hand. Tens of thousands of spear images shot out as he roared, “In pairs, go and take your places. Get rid of at least half of these skeletal giants before we go deeper into the sea.”

Jiutian Wu and company split into pairs to tackle one skeletal giant each. Only ten skeletal giants had emerged from the deep sea. It was just nice. Jiang Yi, who was being pulled backward, was trembling all over. He could not activate his heavenly powers at all, and he was having difficulty even breathing. These skeletal giants’ auras were way too terrifying.

“Uh—”

He moved several kilometers back before he scanned the area once again. Jiutian Wu and the other G.o.d Thearch were fighting one skeletal giant, but despite their best efforts, they were only barely maintaining the upper-hand. How terrifying were these high-level Netherworld Generals? Exactly how strong was that mysterious elder in the Fire Dragon Sword when he was still alive?

A skeletal giant just like these ones descended on Stellarsky Domain back then, but the mysterious elder was able to kill the giant with just one attack. The elder had died a million years ago, and there was only a wisp of his soul remaining.

“King-Ranked? Or was he even more powerful than a King-Ranked martial artist? How powerful is that?”

Jiang Yi could not figure it out. Since the mysterious elder was in a deep sleep, there was no way for him to find out either. Jiang Yi decided to cast all of these thoughts aside and focus on the battles going on in front of him. He wanted to learn as much as he could from it, but he had been overestimating his own observation skills.

There were t.i.tled Battle G.o.ds, G.o.d Thearchs, and Heaven Emanations present today. The level of their skills differed too greatly from his; there was no way for him to see clearly what they were doing. All he could see was a blur of figures dancing around in the sky, and bursts of light flas.h.i.+ng around. All around him, he felt wind in all directions. The waves in the sea were cras.h.i.+ng loudly, causing even his eardrums to hurt.

“Humans, stop trying to fight any longer. Almost the entire Heaven Domain has fallen. They are under the rule of the Netherworld Race. Be good and submit to our n.o.ble Netherworld Race, and you may get to keep your souls. Otherwise, your soul spirits will forever be in the Hades Abyss, and your physical body will forever be the lowest of Netherworld Slaves…”

“Wake up, foolish humans. Your Sovereign has already submitted to the Netherworld Realm. Are you still going to struggle to your death?”

“Come, submit to the n.o.ble Netherworld Thearch. The Netherworld Thearch will give you eternal life…”

Jek-jek! Jek-jek!

The skeletal giants’ golden, glowing jaws kept moving, saying these words in a low, monotonous voice. Jiang Yi did not find this weird at all. These skeletal giants had souls. They were not dead things; instead, they were highly intelligent, high-leveled, living beings of the Netherworld Realm.

“This is not going to work!”

Di Ming led Jiang Yi to retreat fifty kilometers more while he continued to attack nonstop with his spear. The Netherworld Envoys coming towards them flew backward in all directions. Di Ming locked his gaze on the Black Snow Sea. After observing for a while, he realized that the group would need at least an hour to deal with these ten skeletal giants along. The skeletal giants’ defenses were too terrifying. The talisman patterns floating around their bodies had mysterious energy, which could block off strong attacks.

Roar! Roar!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign’s roars coming from the bottom of the sea were getting louder and more intense. Di Ming’s expression darkened. At last, he gritted his teeth and said, “Jiang Yi, I’ll bring you there. You have to purify the Netherworld Aura from the skeletal giants, or the Earth Emanations Sovereign will be in grave danger…”

“Alright!”

Although Jiang Yi could not move under the pressure of the skeletal giants’ auras, his soul spirit could still control the Xiaozhuan characters. He took a deep breath, and the Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. The Merged Flames were also summoned into his right hand at the same time. The Xiaozhuan characters could only fly three kilometers away at the very most. These skeletal giants had arms that measured about one hundred and fifty meters in length. It was far too dangerous!

“Be careful!”

Di Ming shouted. Not far away from them, two formidable martial artists who were fighting a skeletal giant immediately understood what Di Ming meant. Their attacks intensified, causing the skeletal giant they were fighting to retreat continuously. They did not give the skeletal giant a chance to retaliate. Di Ming traveled at top speed, leading Jiang Yi towards the head of the skeletal giant like a dart towards the bullseye.

Ss, ss!

As he approached the skeletal giant and saw the cold, lifeless eyes of the skeletal giant—which resembled two copper coins—Jiang Yi’s soul and body stiffened. At that moment, he felt like a little lamb racing towards a crazed lion. Attacking aside, even raising up a single finger felt difficult.

“Jiang Yi, attack!”

When they reached within hundreds of meters of the skeletal giant, Di Ming suddenly turned and flew towards the sky. At the same time, he roared these instructions, grabbed Jiang Yi’s hand, and sent a burst of energy into his body. Jiang Yi felt like his frozen body had finally been melted.

“Ahhh!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, the Xiaozhuan characters shooting out of the middle of his forehead and towards the skeletal giant’s head. The skeletal giant’s mountainous palm swept at the characters, but the moment the Xiaozhuan characters appeared, the skeletal giant’s eyes widened in terror. “What… what is this?”

Tsk! Tsk!

One by one, the characters. .h.i.t him. Each time they hit him, the skeletal giant’s body would be pushed back several steps. Each bone on its body released a blinding, golden light as the mysterious patterns on its body flashed non-stop as well. Yet, its aura became evidently weaker!

“Alright!”

The two t.i.tled Heaven Emanations shouted in victory as they kept attacking the two legs of the skeletal giant. The top-and-bottom attacks caused the skeletal giant to break down completely. Di Ming finally made his move. As he led Jiang Yi to revolve around the skeletal giant’s head, he kept attacking the giant with his spear, swatting away the giant hand.

Roar!

The skeletal giant kept retreating, and its aura kept getting weaker. At last, it cried out in fury. The patterns on its body were still flas.h.i.+ng nonstop as both its hands shot out towards Di Ming and Jiang Yi.

“Retreat!”

Di Ming caught sight of the hand in his peripheral vision and realized that it was about time. This skeletal giant’s Netherworld Aura and energy had been consumed significantly. It would probably be much easier for the two formidable martial artists to defeat it now. The long spear in his hand disappeared. He quickly left behind a giant palm impression and escaped as fast as he could.

Di Ming brought Jiang Yi far away and made one round, allowing Jiang Yi to catch his breath while he found the next target. The next two formidable martial artists cooperated with them very well, too. Just like that, Jiang Yi and Di Ming joined the battle, helping the human martial artists gain the upper hand. Ten minutes later, the first skeletal giant finally collapsed. When the two additional formidable martial artists joined the rest of the army, Di Ming and Jiang Yi joined them once again. Together, they defeated another skeletal giant!

“We’re almost done!”

After the fifth skeletal giant had fallen, Di Ming turned towards Mo Lingqiu and Jiutian Wu and shouted, “Leave ten people behind. The rest of you, go to the bottom of the sea!”

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

The ten weakest formidable martial artists remained behind to deal with the remaining five skeletal giants and readied themselves for more instructions. The remaining eleven people, together with Jiang Yi, rushed towards the bottom of the sea. Below, there were many more living creatures from the Netherworld Race. However, there were no more high-level Netherworld Generals. The entire group kept charging towards the bottom and felt the seawater become colder. It became so cold that Jiang Yi could not withstand it.

“The Sovereign?”

In the pitch-black sea, the group saw a huge, green, flas.h.i.+ng array. Within it, an elderly man had cold metal chained around his hands and legs. He was surrounded by black gas, and his eyes were bloodshot. His robes were ripped apart, and the green veins around his body were threatening to pop out of his skin. He was roaring and writhing on the seabed.

“Sovereign!”

Mo Lingqiu screamed. Like a crazed man, he rushed towards the bottom. Qin Lianshan, the Clan Head of the Xuanyuan Clan, and the others all followed closely. A hint of a struggle appeared in the eyes of the Earth Emanations Sovereign, who was tied up using cold, metal chains. His bloodshot eyes focused on the group. In a carnal voice, he screamed, “Do not come closer, or all of you will be demonized! Get lost!”
