Yin Yang had sacrificed fifty percent of his divinity to extract the pain from his entire body, sealing it away!
Then, using 【Dismissing the God】, he forcibly 'sacrificed' this pain to the spirituality of the Imperial Guards.
Under normal circumstances, the duck-voiced man wouldn't have fallen for it so easily. Yin Yang had prepared follow-up measures, which was why he had only used fifty percent of his divinity to extract the pain.
But to Yin Yang's absolute surprise, an anomaly occurred with the duck-voiced man, who had forcibly mobilized the energy of the 【Imperial Guard】 below.
How could Yin Yang possibly let such a perfect opportunity slip by?
In the sky, the duck-voiced man's expression suddenly twisted. His entire body convulsed violently, and the phantom that had just begun to take shape collapsed once more.
And this time, it was far worse than before.
The sudden onslaught of intense pain was simply too overwhelming!
It felt as if someone was flaying his skin alive and drilling into his bones with an electric drill!
“Ah!!!”
He shrieked in uncontrollable agony, exposing a critical vulnerability.
And just as established before, in a battle between combatants of the same level, a single moment of distraction meant either severe injury or death.
This time, his luck had run out.
The very instant his guard dropped, the two elders of the Shadow Lotus Church closed the distance, pressing their hands firmly onto his shoulders.
The power capable of burying all things manifested once again.
In a panic, the duck-voiced man looked toward the surrounding execution tools—they were part of a sealed object, the Execution Ground of Slaughter!
He wanted to use this sealed object to buy himself a slim chance of survival.
The only reason he had dared to fight four opponents at once was his reliance on the sealed object, the Wannian Platform, and the Imperial Guards below!
But now, absorbing the Imperial Guards' spiritual energy had backfired, leaving him writhing in pain and exposing a weakness.
The Wannian Platform had also been enticed by the elder in the suit to break its seal. At this moment, the only thing he could count on was the sealed object.
Yet, the sealed object that had been perfectly responsive moments ago was now completely unreachable.
Yes, he could not connect with it at all, as if it had completely lost contact!
He felt as though he had been set up, but his train of thought cut off right there.
The power of Burying took effect.
The duck-voiced man vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed in this world.
With his disappearance, the rain of blood splattered onto the Wannian Platform.
The moment the blood rain made contact with the Wannian Platform, it began to squirm like insects, burrowing into the incantations to dismantle them.
Fast.
It was far too fast.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Before the elder with tucked sleeves could even react, the duck-voiced man was already dead.
Meanwhile, Yin Yang, who had been dancing outside the Wannian Platform, vanished instantly, though the barrier remained active.
Caution had always been Yin Yang's motto.
As a Sequence 6, even the slightest aftershock of their battle could easily end him.
To pull chestnuts out of the fire, one had to be exceptionally cautious and extremely careful.
His figure materialized inside another building. The moment he appeared, a protective barrier rose to shield him, ensuring he would have enough time to activate a transcendent item and escape if needed.
Yin Yang had made extensive preparations for today.
Now that the duck-voiced man was dead, half of his objective was complete.
It was a pity he was only a Sequence 6. He couldn't possibly snatch the duck-voiced man's head right under the watchful eyes of several Sequence 4s.
Otherwise, placing it on the altar would have made for a beautiful sight.
As Yin Yang pondered, the will of the Wannian Platform reached out once more.
“Gong... requires... permission.”
Permission?
Yin Yang had absolutely no idea what the Wannian Platform was talking about. He wasn't some grand figure, so what could possibly require his permission?
But with the mindset of a spectator who loved to watch the world burn, Yin Yang decisively spoke.
“Granted!”
The moment the word left Yin Yang's mouth, the Wannian Platform shook as if struck by a massive earthquake!
The incantations branded upon its surface began to flicker and twist, gradually devoured and absorbed by the surrounding blood.
Rumble!
The ground split open, and everyone inside the Wannian Platform scrambled to escape, including Qin Qian!
But just as he was about to flee, countless flesh-and-blood tentacles erupted from the floor and ceiling, coiling toward him.
Qin Qian's divinity erupted!
He was also a Demigod; catching him would be no easy task.
Rumble...
The ground shook with increasing violence.
...
High above the invisible ocean, Huang Quan, draped in his Shroud, was locked in a bloody battle against the evil god!
The evil god's body protruding from the rift was a staggering five to six hundred meters long. Every ten meters or so along its form, a pair of arms sprouted, a sight that made one's skin crawl.
With every movement it made, bursts of chaotic whispers echoed through the surroundings.
Even Huang Quan, upon hearing them, suffered minor mutations on the surface of his body as tiny flesh buds began to sprout.
But the moment these buds emerged, they were instantly absorbed by the Shroud he wore.
“Hahaha!”
Huang Quan's laughter grew increasingly manic as the phantom behind him twisted violently, gradually morphing into a massive, single-horned beast.
The beast let out a silent roar. Space warped and crumbled as a sphere resembling a black hole slowly coalesced on its horn.
“Hehehe!”
“Hahaha!”
Huang Quan's expression distorted as the chaotic voices in his ears multiplied, but he paid them absolutely no heed. His mind was consumed by a single thought.
Kill the evil god in front of him!
Boom!!!
The black sphere shot forward, tearing the space before him wide open!
Spatial turbulence surged in all directions, causing the invisible ocean to ripple violently.
The evil god's body was ripped completely apart by the black sphere!
Huang Quan flew past as the phantom behind him opened its massive maw, savagely tearing and biting at the severed half of the evil god.
Yet, the two severed halves of the evil god's body began to rapidly regenerate.
The half still inside the rift quickly regrew into a complete evil god, while the portion in the phantom's maw exploded violently!
The force of the explosion was incredibly immense, blowing the head right off the single-horned phantom.
Huang Quan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but his expression only grew more ferocious.
“Delicious! Delicious! Hahaha!”
“It even bursts with juice!!!”
His mental state was highly unstable.
Crack.
Crack.
The sky behind him began to fracture like a shattering mirror.
The manic look on Huang Quan's face gradually gave way to calm.
“There's no time for you to mess around. Something has gone wrong at the Wannian Platform.”
The moment those words left his mouth, his voice turned crazed once again.
“An anomaly? With Wan Tianqing in Central City, what could possibly go wrong?”
Yet, Huang Quan turned his head to look at the flesh-and-blood evil god.
“What an ugly creature.”
“It doesn't suit my aesthetic taste at all.”
As he spoke, an immensely majestic aura rose from the phantom behind him.
He gazed calmly in the direction of the Wannian Platform and spoke.
“Overturn the Verdict!”
...
The air warped violently.
The sealing incantations on the Wannian Platform reverted to their original state, and the duck-voiced man, who had clearly just been killed, actually 'resurrected' once more!
Yin Yang felt momentarily dazed as a new set of memories flooded his mind.
In this memory, his pain transmission had had absolutely no effect.
The duck-voiced man had been unaffected. He had used the absorbed spirituality to reform his phantom and withstand the onslaught of attacks.
This made Yin Yang's accumulated pain look like a complete joke.
At this moment, the Sequence 4s and Yin Yang all raised their heads to look toward the sky.
They all knew that a Sequence 3 had intervened!
And they had already guessed that person's identity.
