Chapter 2965: The End of the Three Armors Blood Ancestor
In the vast, empty dark universe, a dazzling mass of lightning spread outward, instantly expanding tens of thousands of miles from a single point, filled with destructive power.
Space cracked like paper, with numerous fissures appearing.
The rumbling was incessant.
If a divine-level powerhouse were nearby and looked closely, they would notice that the lightning resembled vines, complete with leaves.
The leaves were as sharp as blades, the vines countless and intertwined.
"Boom!"
The lightning vines radiated again, covering an area ten times larger, turning into a bright sea of electricity.
Its brilliance surpassed that of a star.
Above the electric sea, a faint divine shadow with flowing hair could be seen, ethereal and beautiful, like a nine-heavens goddess descending to the mortal world, yet it also released a terrifying aura of murderous intent, inspiring fear.
The Hell Realm sacred realm cultivators in the nearby starry sky were panicked, turning into streaks of light as they fled rapidly.
"Such powerful divine energy fluctuations—it's a true god!"
"Could a divine war be breaking out? The aftermath alone would reduce us to particles, leaving no bones behind."
"Run! Get as far away as possible!"
...
The lightning vines in the universe, like rivers of thunder and electricity, crisscrossed and rapidly fled in a certain direction.
At the very center of the vines, a voluptuous and seductive woman, her long dress over her snow-white skin adorned with sparkling gems, her figure curvaceous and graceful, her hair like willow branches, moved forward in a serpentine manner, as if swimming.
Yes.
Swimming, not flying.
Space was like an ocean, time like waves, and she swam within it.
Time rules and space rules obeyed her command, her speed terrifyingly fast. With each sway of her slender waist, she could travel hundreds of thousands of miles, crossing a sea of stars.
But the Three Armors Blood Ancestor chasing behind her was slightly faster.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor manifested a thousand-zhang-tall divine body, with six blood-red wings on his back like six blood clouds, his divine energy abundant, and he continuously stepped out with Divine Spirit Steps.
Space seemed to fold and contract beneath his feet.
He moved swiftly, his legs like wind-fire divine wheels.
Upon discovering that after passing through the wormhole, he had arrived outside the Starry Sky Defense Line, the Three Armors Blood Ancestor had already considered retreating immediately. But the Refined Divine Flower had been severely wounded by him and was right ahead; it wouldn't take much time to capture her.
If he retreated now, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
He truly couldn't bear it.
"This star region is patrolled by the Falling Star Divine Temple. The Falling Star Divine Temple doesn't have many divine-level powerhouses who can threaten me. I should be able to capture her before the Hell Realm great gods arrive."
After the battle at Xinghuantian, the Three Armors Blood Ancestor had suffered severe injuries to his origin, nearly being refined to death by the evil divine corpse.
Originally, with his peak upper-level god cultivation, he had over seventy percent confidence in surviving the Eon Calamity.
But now, he had no confidence at all.
After Shi Shenghua crossed the divine tribulation and evolved into the Refined Divine Flower, she was not only a ferocious plant but also an extraordinary divine medicine.
That was why the Three Armors Blood Ancestor, upon discovering her, pursued her recklessly.
By devouring this divine medicine, he could not only heal his injuries but also have a certain chance of breaking into the Supreme True Realm and becoming a great god.
A great god!
How many gods pursued this goal? Once one reached that level, their status in the world would be completely different.
Thus, even knowing his current situation was extremely dangerous, the Three Armors Blood Ancestor still pursued relentlessly.
"You can't escape!"
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor raised his blood blade, a supreme sacred artifact, above his head. Its blood light illuminated the starry sky, like a blood-red lantern lighting up in the darkness.
"Whoosh!"
With a single slash, the blade energy fell like the Heavenly River descending.
The divine patterns and formation inscriptions arranged by Hell Realm gods in this starry sky shattered one after another, and space itself seemed split in two.
The sea formed by the intertwining lightning vines was cleaved apart, the blade light extending all the way to behind Mo Yin.
Countless vines were severed, turning into withered branches and fallen leaves.
Mo Yin's seductively beautiful face turned back, pale. She had already suffered considerable injuries in the earlier exchange, and her phoenix eyes were filled with coldness.
She waved her delicate jade hand, shattering space and charging into the dark Void World.
At the same time, fragments of space coalesced before her into an invisible shield, colliding with the oncoming blade light.
"Bang!"
The space shield shattered.
The blade light tore through dense rule divine patterns, leaving a deep, bloody wound on Mo Yin's body.
The blade energy entered her body, causing pain that reached her soul.
Mo Yin couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, both angry and fierce.
Unfortunately, she had only recently crossed the divine tribulation and was merely a lower-level god. Facing a deeply cultivated god like the Three Armors Blood Ancestor, she had no power to resist.
"Where do you think you're going?"
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor let out a sinister laugh, hovering at the edge of the shattered space. He swung a Five Elements Lightning Whip, his arm snapping.
"Crack!"
"Crack!"
...
One whip was like a thousand-mile fire dragon, another like a weak water long river, a third transformed into ten thousand blades and swords, a fourth manifested a towering divine mountain, and a fifth revealed a seven-colored precious tree.
He struck five times!
The power of the Five Elements merged with lightning, shattering all of Mo Yin's defenses.
Not only was her physical body beaten to a bloody pulp, but even her divine soul was scattered considerably. Her consciousness became extremely faint, her delicate body floating in the void space, barely alive.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor used the Five Elements Lightning Whip to coil around her, sneering repeatedly: "The injuries on this god were all caused by Zhang Ruochen. The cycle of cause and effect—today, you are destined to become the divine medicine in my belly."
Suddenly, an intense sense of death crisis struck, sending chills down the Three Armors Blood Ancestor's spine.
Before he could even raise his divine realm world for defense, the sound of bells rang in his mind, as loud as divine thunder.
"Bang! Bang!"
A dozen Soul-Devouring Bells struck the Three Armors Blood Ancestor, instantly blasting his thousand-zhang divine body into a spray of blood and flesh.
The impact on his physical body was secondary; the most terrifying thing was that the Soul-Devouring Bells severely damaged his divine soul, knocking a significant portion of it out of his body and absorbing it into the bells.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor was all too familiar with whom the Soul-Devouring Bells belonged to, and he immediately knew who was ambushing him.
"Zhang Ruochen!"
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor roared in fury. As he shouted, rule divine patterns burst from his body, evolving into a blood-misted divine realm world.
He looked around but found no trace of Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, sensing something, he looked down into the Void World within the shattered space.
There, Zhang Ruochen, using some extraordinary means, had severed his Five Elements Lightning Whip and held Mo Yin's limp, soft body in his arms.
The twelve Soul-Devouring Bells flew back, spinning around his body.
Supreme Inscription Runes converged into a large green bell, protecting Zhang Ruochen within.
Under Zhang Ruochen's spiritual power control, the scattered portions of Mo Yin's divine soul flew back one by one, entering her brow. Her captivating, soul-stealing bright eyes opened, fixed on Zhang Ruochen's cold, handsome face, revealing a joyful smile.
She called out weakly, "Master!"
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly, holding her as he transformed into a beam of green light, flying out of the Void World and appearing opposite the Three Armors Blood Ancestor. "Seeing me and not fleeing—you have quite the nerve."
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor's body surged with blood energy, and he said darkly, "At Xinghuantian, you only succeeded by borrowing the power of Heavenly Mother. Heavenly Mother won't lend you her divine power at any moment. I am a peak upper-level god—why would I fear a brat like you?"
"Three Armors Blood Ancestor, you are far too arrogant!"
Shuo Qianhai stepped out of the void, causing space to tremble. With a wave of his hand, a white bone divine pillar shot out.
This pillar was forged from the divine bone of a Boundless realm ancient god, containing Boundless might.
"Shuo Qianhai, you dare to attack this god?"
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor's long hair flew as he swung his blade, clashing with the white bone divine pillar.
"Boom!"
Divine energy violently collided, forming a cloud of divine qi.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor was sent flying a thousand miles, divine blood flowing from his mouth, his divine robe covered in cracks. He looked at Shuo Qianhai in disbelief. "How is this possible?"
Shuo Qianhai was a bit stunned. Was this peak upper-level god too weak? He had repelled him with a single strike.
Was that all?
Could this be a trap by the old fellow to lure him in?
Shuo Qianhai didn't dare act rashly.
Zhang Ruochen, with his powerful spiritual power, saw clearly and said, "The Three Armors Blood Ancestor was severely injured at Xinghuantian and no longer has the combat power of a peak upper-level god. Just now, the Soul-Devouring Bells damaged his divine soul, further weakening his strength."
"Right now, he is like a tiger without teeth or claws—this is the perfect time to kill him."
Shuo Qianhai suddenly understood and was overjoyed. Excellent! If he could slay a peak upper-level god of the Heavenly Court today, it would be a great achievement.
The Falling Star Divine Temple, Shura Divine Temple, and Destiny Temple would surely bestow rewards.
"You've come to my Falling Star Divine Temple's territory—where do you think you can escape?"
Shuo Qianhai pursued with the white bone divine pillar in hand.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor, realizing he was no longer at his peak strength, immediately fled, intending to return to the Heavenly Court's universe through the earlier wormhole.
Zhang Ruochen didn't give chase, watching with a smile as he murmured, "Nether Light Curse!"
The Ten-Thousand Curse Heavenly Pearl floated above his head as he condensed his spiritual power into a curse, manifesting a nether light that trapped the fleeing Three Armors Blood Ancestor millions of miles away.
Mo Yin lay in Zhang Ruochen's arms, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she watched him calmly orchestrate victory from afar.
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor looked back and saw Shuo Qianhai closing in. He immediately activated a secret technique, burning his divine blood. Gripping his blade with both hands, he slashed.
"Bang!"
The nether light was torn apart, and the Three Armors Blood Ancestor broke free, getting closer and closer to the wormhole.
"Zhang Ruochen, I'll let you off today, but sooner or later, you will die by my hand."
The Three Armors Blood Ancestor rushed toward the wormhole at even greater speed.
Zhang Ruochen remained very calm, calling out into the starry sky, "Xiao Hei!"
"He won't escape!"
"Watch this emperor's newly refined Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Slaying Demon-Slaying Grand Formation! Three Armors brat, go die!"
The so-called Nine Heavens Ten Earths God-Slaying Demon-Slaying Grand Formation was actually the Three Bends Twenty-Eight Mansions Grand Formation, but Xiao Hei always named things to sound domineering, and sometimes it actually fooled people.
Formation inscription runes wove through the void, forming a massive formation disk ten thousand miles in diameter.
A stretch of starry sky appeared within the formation disk, enveloping the fleeing Three Armors Blood Ancestor.
A vast cat face, formed from boundless divine qi, emerged, looking down at the Three Armors Blood Ancestor's thousand-zhang divine body.
The size comparison was like a ferocious tomcat eyeing a mouse.
