Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate hadnât reacted yet when that black power surged towards him all at once. Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate was just about to dodge, but he couldnât withdraw his hand in time.
Before Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate could regain his composure, the black power enveloped him instantaneously, and he suddenly felt an indescribable nausea flooding into his Divine Soul.
The next moment, Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate let out an agonizing scream.
"What... what is this..."
"Ah!!!"
Seeing that Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerateâs body became infected by the black power, his body began to twist continuously. For a while, all the Immortal Venerates present dared not approach directly.
From afar, Lu Chen watched this scene unfold, and a sense of unease within him grew stronger and stronger.
This black power seemed like an evil force. He had cultivated the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture, which endowed the immortal power within him with the ability to purify evil forces. If it were truly evil power, he shouldnât feel fear and unease.
Lu Chen thought to himself, this shouldnât be a power from the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, the Law Manifestation behind Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate suddenly shattered, and immediately after, his body began to decay at a speed visible to the naked eye, growing countless eyes, looking extremely terrifying, just like a Heavenly Demon.
People couldnât help but think, could it be that the black power is also a Heavenly Demon Power, actually transforming Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate into a Heavenly Demon?
If that is the case, then thereâs trouble. It means they have to deal with another Immortal Venerate-level Heavenly Demon. The previous Immortal Venerate-level Heavenly Demon could blow itself up to destroy a quarter of the Northern Domain. If Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate were to self-destruct and do so right in front of them, they would all likely suffer severe injuries.
For a moment, all the Immortal Venerates present were extremely tense. However, just when everyone thought they would have to deal with Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate next, a huge Space Rift unexpectedly appeared above the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Following that, a gigantic blood hand extended from within the Space Rift and grabbed Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate directly. In the next moment, Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate was pulled into the Space Rift by that blood hand.
Subsequently, a massive suction force emanated from the Space Rift, drawing in all the black power spreading through the sky.
This scene unfolded very quickly, before people could react, the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain returned to normal, the black power vanished without a trace, and the Space Rift was quickly healed by the World Power of the Tianyan Immortal Domain.
Everything in the Tianyan Immortal Domain returned to tranquility as if nothing had happened.
This...
People froze once again.
When the Immortal Venerates regained their senses, they became incredibly anxious inside.
What was that blood hand?
Where exactly was Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate taken?
Will they someday also be corrupted by that dark power and then taken away by that blood hand?
Should this war continue? Even Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate has been defeated, and it seems that the Demon Emperorâs strength hasnât been exhausted much. If this war continues, they fear they wonât gain any advantage.
Of course, the most crucial point is that they donât know whether the situation just now will happen again. Even a strong individual like Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate would be devoured by that dark power. If it were them, they estimate they wouldnât have the strength to escape either.
For a moment, all the Immortal Venerates looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.
If they donât continue fighting, their forces will remain trapped in the Demon Emperorâs Great Array, serving as nourishment for the Demon Emperorâs strengthening. Moreover, the Great Array still contains Immortal Venerates from their various forces.
They certainly canât just give up on the Immortals from their own forces.
Just as everyone was uncertain about what to do, the Tianyan Immortal Domainâs sky once again erupted with the same anomaly as before.
Numerous rifts suddenly appeared in the sky, and those rifts began to seep the same black, eerie power.
In no time, all the Immortal Venerates present became intensely agitated. They had witnessed the fate of Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate firsthand and were worried that the eerie black power would end up clinging to them.
At this time, the desire to withdraw surged anew in the hearts of the Immortal Venerates. They all suspected the heavenâs anomaly was caused by Xuan Qingyun. That eerie black power felt so much like Heavenly Demon Power.
It wasnât just the Immortal Venerates; Xuan Qingyun himself wore a solemn expression as he gazed at the anomaly in the sky.
Fortunately, the Tianyan Immortal Domainâs World Power began repairing the spatial gaps again. Soon, the black power returned into the spatial gaps, and after a brief moment, the Tianyan Immortal Domain returned to normal once more.
However, within such a short time, the Tianyan Immortal Domain had seen two instances of this eerie occurrence. Anyone could surmise that something must have happened in the Tianyan Immortal Domain, and itâs impossible to say whether this spatial rift phenomenon might appear frequently in the future.
If that eerie black power floods the entire Tianyan Immortal Domain, it would certainly be a disaster for the domain.
While the stalemate between the Immortal Domain Alliance Army and the Demon Emperorâs forces continued, Xuan Qingyun finally made a move, but she didnât launch another attack.
Just as the Immortal Venerates prepared for her assault, they saw Xuan Qingyun lift her hand. In the next moment, the Chaos Evil Thought Array, which had trapped the first batch of Immortal Domain Alliance Army for decades, actually opened.
With the Great Array unraveled, the scene inside came into view. Across the land, there were bones strewn everywhere.
Those trapped Immortals, regardless of their strengthâbe they weak Immortals or Immortal Veneratesâall looked spiritually drained, weary, and dispirited.
When the Chaos Evil Thought Array opened, those Immortals displayed no expressions of joy at surviving the calamity, as if they had become mere walking corpses.
Though the pitiful state of the trapped Immortals induced enormous anger in the Immortal Venerates, they did not continue to attack Xuan Qingyun. They were all curious why the Demon Emperor chose to open the Formation at this time.
Then, Xuan Qingyunâs voice echoed over the Northern Domain, saying, "Leave the Northern Domain; from today onward, it belongs to the Nine Heavens Institute."
Upon hearing this, the Immortal Venerates immediately understood Xuan Qingyunâs intention. She intended to claim the entire Northern Domain for herself, and it seemed she was done with fighting.
Considering the current situation, various forces of the Immortal Domain Alliance Army quickly organized the trapped Immortals to leave the battlefield.
The war between the two sides temporarily paused.
Seeing the war conclude like this, Lu Chen furrowed his brow slightly. He had thought either Xuan Qingyun or Heavenly Language Immortal Venerable would be severely injured, allowing him to take advantage. Yet the war ended just like that? Was there to be no more fighting?
Could it be that the anomaly in the Tianyan Immortal Domain wasnât caused by Xuan Qingyun? Did the anomaly even make Xuan Qingyun feel apprehensive? Otherwise, why would she choose to cease fire under such circumstances?
Dragon Extreme Immortal Venerate has already been taken away to an unknown place, and her burning of Heavenly Demon Power means she no longer fears the Divine Light Thousand Lamp Scripture. She clearly holds the advantage, yet she chose to cease fire.
