As dozens of cultivation experts and evolvers rushed into the darkness, the Evil Gods hidden within the shadows faced an unprecedented assault, with countless attacks colliding and intertwining in the darkness. Many Evil Gods suffered heavy blows, and various colors of blood and limbs fell down, causing the darkness that once shrouded the skies to shrink and disintegrate at this moment. In terms of combat power, the Evil Gods are not particularly strong, but they excel in their strange and eerie tactics. However, these bizarre tactics are only significantly effective under normal circumstances; once on the battlefield, the Evil Gods’ tricks can no longer stand up. With dozens of cultivation experts joining forces, they could shatter the heavens and earth, regardless of whatever sinister plots the Evil Gods have. And after a bout of exchanges, the group gradually acquired some information from the darkness. In this darkness, the Evil Gods are also divided by rank, with the weakest being the lower-ranking Evil Gods, followed by the mid-ranking Evil Gods, then the upper-ranking Evil Gods, and above the Evil Gods are the most terrifying Ancient Gods. The strength of the Ancient Gods should be equivalent to a True Immortal or a Demon King, but in terms of combat power, the Ancient Gods cannot defeat the True Immortals and Demon Kings, which is probably due to an inadequate cultivation system. After all, Li Yi once delved into the Dark World and has some understanding of that realm. At this moment, the enemy Li Yi is facing, wielding a giant sword and skeleton-like, is an Ancient God, known as the Hell Ancient God, the founder of Hell in the Dark World, having lived for countless years, leading countless civilizations to fall into darkness, being extremely evil. Perhaps because he has sprawled over the Dark World for too long, this Hell Ancient God, who has survived countless years, now falls into a disadvantage in the fight with Li Yi. The giant sword, burning with hellfire in his hand, is covered with cracks after repeated clashes, The Ancient Gods’ weapons are not as good as the Demon King Weapons of the Demon God Realm. "Your strength is too weak, it seems like you’ve never fought a true strong one before, have you degraded from staying too long in the Dark World? If so, then die here today." Li Yi suddenly roared, full of killing intent, and his fighting spirit was overwhelming. As someone who had just slain a Demon King, his momentum soared to the extreme, with all the mana in his acupoints burning, and countless divine blood boiling. He grew more courageous the more he fought, not weakening in strength but becoming even stronger, his body seeming to evolve. Indeed, this was not an illusion, but the Power of Incense continuously empowering him. As long as Li Yi does not close the Cross-border Gate, the incense on him will only gather more and more, naturally increasing his strength. "Human, bear the wrath of the Ancient God." The Hell Ancient God roared, raised the Sword of Hell and charged forward, the overwhelming hellfire turning into sinister giant dragons, three-headed hellhounds, and flame demons all rushing towards Li Yi. Li Yi shouted, wielding the Demon King Divine Jade Spear, under the augmentation of Dragon and Tiger Power, swung the spear, thunder roared in the sky, instantly shattering the darkness and sweeping towards the endless hellfire. With just one strike, all the monstrous forms conjured from the hellfire were annihilated, the power of the Demon King Weapon heavily slammed onto the giant sword in the Hell Ancient God’s hand. The many clashes culminated in this blow, sending the ancient god’s weapon towards its end, the giant sword shattered and fell to the ground as countless burning fragments. Just one fragment, the area within dozens of miles was engulfed by hellfire, everything burned to ashes, transformed into lava, within which the remnants of vengeful ghosts wailed and struggled in pain, seemingly trying to break free from the chains of hellfire. With top-tier beings’ engagement, just a bit of force splashing out could cause catastrophic damage to the surrounding landscape. Seeing this scene, Li Yi’s killing intent intensified further; if these Evil Gods continued to rampage on Earth, eventually Earth, if not shattered, would become uninhabitable. The Hell Ancient God, at this moment, looking at his shattered weapon, both angry and frightened, also realized that he was not a match for this Earthling. Continuing the fight could lead to his defeat or even death. But as a supreme Ancient God, how could he admit this, still unwilling to retreat and wanting to fight Li Yi. However, this thought proved wrong, also demonstrating the Ancient God’s lack of sharp combat intuition. Were it a True Immortal or a Demon King, they would have swiftly retreated by now, avoiding unnecessary entanglement. Li Yi, stepping on Xiangyun, instantly struck, the Divine Jade Spear radiating immeasurable golden light, its sharpness reaching the peak. Under the Power of Incense and mana amplification, its power surpassed even when in the hands of the Demon King. A light that could obliterate everything emerged. This blow fell fiercely upon the Hell Ancient God’s body, his invincible bones were shattered in an instant, splitting even the darkness behind him in twain. Under the aftermath, countless screams of Evil Gods echoed, and the faint sounds of Ancient God’s slaves’ sorrow and wailings could be heard. "Our great Hell Ancient God has been defeated." "I saw that the Ancient God, whose body even hellfire couldn’t melt, was cleaved open by the enemy." "Is doomsday approaching?" Yet at this moment, the Hell Ancient God no longer had the capacity to care about those vexing wailings, he looked incredulously at his body, sliced into two pieces, unwilling to believe he had lost to a human. However, the Hell Ancient God had not died yet, but his power was swiftly diminishing, as being wounded by the Demon King Weapon left residual forces continually eroding his body, even an Ancient God found it hard to resist. After all, such power at the same level. Li Yi shouted once more, continuing his assault. He would not give the enemy a chance to breathe, he must take advantage of this moment to send this Ancient God on its way, otherwise it might resurrect in the future to commit atrocities on Earth again. The Demon King Weapon in his hand swung down again. The Hell Ancient God roared in fury, transforming his two arms into bone blades, and Hell’s flames blazed once more, still fighting desperately. For at this moment, he already knew his fate of defeat, but as an Ancient God, even in defeat, he could not flee or surrender. The Divine Jade Spear slashed down, instantly shattering the arms of the Hell Ancient God, the terrifying power wreaking havoc, leaving his broken body covered in cracks. "Time to go, Ancient God." Li Yi shouted, seizing the moment, delivering a punch. Although it wasn’t a divine art, the power unleashed by this strike was no less than that of the Demon King, because he wore the Divine Wood Red Gold Boxing Gloves. The world swayed once more, the broken body of the Ancient God took the punch solidly. At that moment, already riddled with holes, his body finally reached its limit, and under the roar of Dragon and Tiger Power, it turned to ashes in an instant. Nothing was left, only a few shattered skull fragments were scattered away. After a prolonged battle, this Hell Ancient God of the Dark World was finally slain openly by Li Yi. However, after vanquishing this Ancient God, Li Yi couldn’t help but catch his breath. Even though he had the mana of ninety acupoints, he was nearly exhausted by the fierce battle. It’s important to know that he had been continuously fighting, wielding the Demon King Weapon, even using divine arts... All were a major drain on his own resources. Fortunately, Li Yi practiced multiple arts, otherwise, a normal cultivator would have likely been exhausted during the Demon King battle. "It’s not time to rest yet; if we don’t achieve good results this time, and if the other side becomes wary and hides, it’ll be bothersome," Li Yi took a deep breath, pulled out some Life Water, and took a sip. The vast Life Essence Qi rampaged within his body, quickly sweeping away his fatigue, and at the same time, the minor injuries he had sustained earlier quickly healed. Even though the mana within his acupoints was still depleted, relying on his physical strength alone, Li Yi remained formidable. Once again, he stepped on Xiangyun and charged into the darkness. Everywhere he went, the evil gods wailed and perished, or frantically fled deeper into the distant darkness. And it wasn’t just Li Yi who achieved good results. Xiang Xiangzi, too, was fiercely battling an existence known as the Earth Ancient God. After a long fight, he finally made the Three Flowers bloom, invoking the power of incense, and with a strike of Dragon and Tiger, he wielded the Immortal Sword, splitting the opponent in half, killing the Ancient God in a deep part of the darkness. The massive body of the Ancient God crashed to the ground, and an abundant amount of blood dyed the land and rivers like a river. "The Ancient Gods are still a notch weaker, far inferior to True Immortals and Demon Kings." Follow current novᴇls on novęlfire.net Xiang Xiangzi slightly caught his breath, also showing signs of fatigue. He continuously battled against True Immortals, Demon Kings, and Ancient Gods. Though the Mana Flower above his head continuously gathered nature’s spiritual energy for himself, the absorption couldn’t keep up with the consumption. After all, at this level of opponent, every strike required full strength and could not be careless. But on another battlefield, Xuan Yuezi had also ended her fight, a crescent moon radiated immeasurable brilliance, cleaving through the darkness, and flew back to her side. The Treasure Moon Disc rotated, unleashing killing intent, causing some evil gods attempting to fish in troubled waters to wail and perish. Her expression was cool, gazing into the distance. She saw a giant head fall from the darkness. It was a female head, with hair like dead wood, and on her face, dark flowers were blooming. The Ancient God she beheaded was named the Life Ancient God. Although possessing some bizarre methods, it was restrained by the Treasure Moon Disc; only its life force was truly tenacious. It dragged on until she exhausted its power enough to slay it. "Though the Treasure Moon Disc is good, its consumption of one’s mana is too great, no wonder even the Demon King doesn’t often use it, only in life-and-death battles." Xuan Yuezi frowned slightly. She felt her mana was nearly depleted and had no strength left to fight a second Ancient God. Yet, thankfully, the Power of Incense also enhanced her, otherwise, she couldn’t have sustained such fierce battles. "It’s about time to stop now. If we continue fighting, something unexpected might happen." Xuan Yuezi took a deep breath, then began to contact Xiang Xiangzi, hoping he wouldn’t get too aggressive. After all, no one knows if there are other Ancient Gods hidden in this Dark World. After all, this war has achieved the expected results, and if we keep fighting, it might backfire and we could lose everything.
