Somewhere in the Celestial Realm.
Inside a spacious hall.
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance sat quietly in a high position, staring at the spiritual power screen floating in front of the hall, a hint of coldness gradually appearing on the face hidden within the black robe's hood.
What was shown on the spiritual power screen was the real-time scene happening inside the Heaven Sealing Formation in the Boundless Heavens.
The black-skirted woman suddenly walked to his side, her gaze landing on the two figures within the screen, and said, "They're both pretending."
Upon hearing this, the Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance chuckled, "You noticed too?"
The black-skirted woman said, "A god who possesses the Death Principle, on this battlefield strewn with dead bodies, wouldn't grow tired; indeed, they would only grow stronger."
"As for Luo Xiu, what he's been using these past two days seemingly isn't his own power."
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance asked, "What do you think it is?"
The black-skirted woman said, "It's the mask on his face."
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance suddenly waved a hand, "E Luo, send another fifty thousand down."
Upon hearing this, the Evil Luo Great Emperor's eyes trembled, "Hierarch, although our Heavenly Dao Alliance has an army of two million, it's not appropriate to just send them down to be slaughtered like this, is it?"
The Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance's tone sank slightly, "How about you go down then?"
Upon hearing this, E Luo couldn't help but think of Ku Xing's experience, awkwardly smiled, and shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to go.
The False Emperor and Little God below are undoubtedly big troubles; he's afraid that going down might provoke the other side into a desperate fight to the death.
Which cultivator capable of achieving emperor status isn't afraid of death?
The black-skirted woman suddenly said, "I'll go; to deal with a god, a god is needed."
E Luo looked at the black-skirted woman with an admiring gaze, thought for a moment, then suddenly took out a talisman and handed it over.
"Sis, take this with you."
The black-skirted woman looked at E Luo's hand, and her face was full of disdain.
Because she realized that this talisman was made by drying human skin and soaking it in medicine.
And the glowing runes on this skin talisman emitted a faintly nauseating and even creepy aura.
...
...
Boundless Heavens.
The black-skirted woman, through the Heavenly Shifting Array, ignored the two Venerables, stepped out of the Formation Altar, and walked into the Heaven Sealing Formation with strides.
The formation barrier capable of sealing Luo Xiu and Lin Tong posed no obstacle to the black-skirted woman.
At this moment.
On the peak of Corpse Mountain.
Luo Xiu gazed at the black-skirted woman and slightly furrowed his brows, "Is that... Watari Kagura?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tong was momentarily stunned and confused, "Big bro, when did you have a wife in the Heavenly Dao Alliance? Is it an old romantic debt?"
Luo Xiu, too lazy to explain, said, "It's that Sakura Country girl from Earth; when you were still in soul form, you should have seen her."
Lin Tong shrugged, "Perhaps, but I don't remember, didn't make much of an impression."
Luo Xiu's lips curled slightly, "Didn't expect to encounter her here."
Lin Tong asked, "Did you have an affair with her before?"
Luo Xiu said, "If only I did."
"..."
During the conversation.
Watari Kagura, dressed in a black skirt, had already appeared like a ghost in front of the two brothers.
"Luo Xiu, long time no see."
Luo Xiu reached up, removed the Gaze Mask from his face, and smiled, "You could still recognize me with this?"
Watari Kagura said placidly, "No matter how your face changes, your aura won't change."
Luo Xiu gazed at her figure and said, "It's been years, and you look even better."
Watari Kagura's expression remained blank, "You're still as unrestrained as before."
Luo Xiu asked, "After the great calamity of earthly destruction and our battle, where did you go?"
"I have no need to answer your questions."
Watari Kagura raised her knife and pointed it at Luo Xiu, "I've come only to kill you."
Luo Xiu gazed at her affectionately, "Are you really so heartless? Honestly, I've always... felt a fondness for you."
Watari Kagura's expression remained unchanged, "That move doesn't work on me."
"Alas."
Luo Xiu sighed lightly.
Lin Tong couldn't help but laugh, "Big bro, looks like your charm technique isn't working."
Luo Xiu's expression turned serious, and he fixed his gaze on Watari Kagura's knife, asking, "Are you the Shen Le I loved, or the Void Entity of the Ancient God?"
Watari Kagura said, "Both."
Luo Xiu slowly rose, bracing his knees, reached out to grab the Shattering Star Spear embedded in a nearby corpse's head, and smiled, "We're both Earth natives; to meet again in this Otherworld is fate. Let's not shed tears, nor fight to the death, right?"
"If you're willing to return Great Qian of Tai'a to me, perhaps I can consider being gentler with you."
Lin Tong suddenly stretched out to stop Luo Xiu, shook his head, and said, "Big bro, this woman seems a bit troublesome; I'm afraid you can't handle her, let me try."
Watari Kagura gazed coldly at the two men before her, saying flatly, "You don't seem tired, so let's warm you up first."
The moment she finished speaking, she vanished into thin air.
When she reappeared, she was outside the Heaven Sealing Formation's barrier, appearing on the Formation Altar.
On the peak of Corpse Mountain.
Luo Xiu and Lin Tong exchanged a glance, curious about Watari Kagura's intentions, when suddenly, at the spot where she had stood, a mysterious skin talisman surfaced, glowing with a strange light.
A nauseating aura dispersed from the skin talisman, transforming into countless threads, merging instantly into the Corpse Mountain beneath their feet.
In just moments, hoarse, hollow growls sounded from beneath their feet.
The corpses actually began to rise one after another!
The two immediately flew skyward, their expressions growing stern.
After observing for a while, Lin Tong said, "It seems a bit tricky; these entities have no life. They're controlled by a certain rune power, stronger than they were in life."
"Big bro, this is a Divine Skill far scarier than the necromancy spells I taught you!"
Luo Xiu said, "As a warrior, using necromancy spells is a disgrace. Among those twenty thousand heavenly soldiers, you killed eighteen thousand on your own; I only killed two thousand."
Lin Tong chuckled, "You lost quite badly."
Luo Xiu suddenly descended toward the ground, "But these entities are lifeless now; what will you, the Death God, use to compete with me?"
Lin Tong objected, "Big bro, that's not fair! Does corpse-whipping count as kills?"
Already on the ground, Luo Xiu wasted no words, his figure flickered into residual shadows.
At the same time, four-colored lightning burst forth!
In terms of harvesting lives, he wasn't on par with Lin Tong.
However, in terms of destruction, Lin Tong could only look up to him.
Seeing a group of living corpses claw their way forward, Luo Xiu went straight for a Thunder Law strike!
There was a loud crash.
Four-Colored Glazed Thunder struck, instantly shattering the group of living corpses into glazed fragments!
Yet, strangely, under some mysterious power, those glazed fragments soon reformed into human shapes, continuing to pounce toward him!
Seeing this, Luo Xiu's gaze sank slightly, realizing it was some sort of Power of Laws.
Lin Tong couldn't help but laugh, "Big bro, looks like your Glazed Thunder is useless now; watch me!"
"..."
At this moment.
On the distant Formation Altar.
The two Venerables watched the battlefield, where corpses rose and moved, both breaking into cold sweats.
"Could this be... Evil Luo Great Emperor's 'Shidalin'?"
"..."
