Chapter 740: Hunting Battle Chapter 440

Zhao Sheng inwardly sighed upon seeing this. Xian Kong’s ability to bend and yield, allowing him to hold such a status today, was indeed not without reason.

” /XX/ [[i…okakia!”

Seeing Yama Ancestor remain defiant, Zhao Sheng did not pamper him and immediately began to silently chant the Heart Demon Spell, activating the opponent’s Soul-locking Curse.

Ahh ahh ahh!

Suddenly, Yama Ancestor’s face became extremely distorted as he clutched his head, rolling on the ground in pain. Bizarre ghostly shadows, visible to the naked eye, darted in and out of his orifices, trailing wisps of gray smoke.

The pain of soul burning and spirit splitting far exceeded the agony of a thousand cuts and a myriad of slashes. Even the strongest of individuals couldn’t endure the torment of this curse, let alone someone like Yama who had lived a life of luxury for a thousand years and was not accustomed to such suffering.

“Stop…stop!…I…submit…ahh ahh!”

Despite his pleas for mercy, Zhao Sheng intended to establish his authority and thus turned a deaf ear, continuing to silently chant the Heart Demon Spell.

Boom boom!

In agonizing pain, Yama Ancestor had no choice but to drive the Corpse King’s Stiff Body to ferociously pound the meteorite, desperately trying to relieve the pain.

In the blink of an eye, the meteorite was covered with large and small craters and then, unable to withstand the heavy blows, shattered into countless fragments with a deafening crash.

Zhao Sheng rose into the air and gradually ceased his incantation.

At this time, Yama Ancestor resembled a live fish being pan-fried, his body convulsing uncontrollably. His Nascent Soul had partially detached from the head, exposed in the vacuum of space, significantly shrunk to a mere eight inches or so.

Seeing Yama’s wretched state, Xian Kong and Ou Feng were filled with fear and deep awe.

After convulsing for a while, Yama’s Nascent Soul gradually retracted back into his skull. He then shakily floated up and humbly bowed his head, hiding his resentment deep within his eyes.

Zhao Sheng was indifferent to Yama’s resentment; as long as he obeyed, the rest didn’t matter.

“Speak, when is your backup arriving?”

Hearing his master inquire, Xian Kong jumped forward to answer, but Zhao Sheng forced him back with a glance.

Yama’s body trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke and ultimately betrayed Thunder Roc Ancestor and the other two.

A moment later, Zhao Sheng nodded, fully aware of the killing trap and purpose Yama and the others had set up.

With Yama and Xian Kong acting overtly and Thunder Roc Ancestor’s trio in the shadows, comprised of two Late-stage Nascent Souls and three Nascent Soul Middle Stages joining forces, it seemed they did hold Zhao Sheng’s “Great Grandmaster” title in high regard.

By all logic, Zhao Sheng was bound to die on this journey.

However, who knew that while one was calculating against others, they too were being outmaneuvered!

After all their scheming, it was still Zhao Sheng who had the upper hand, reducing the lofty Nascent Soul Ancestor to a mere henchman.

“Listen well, from now on do as I say…”

Zhao Sheng beckoned Yama and Xian Kong forward, transmitting his Divine Thoughts to them, carefully instructing them.

At this time, due to the absence of a target, the Crystal Corpses in the sky were quickly taken over by the Devil Mushrooms, falling onto the surface of Dark Star and entering back underground through the large fissures.

Under the force of gravity, the big hole on Dark Star soon collapsed, and debris and soil filled it, leaving the surface riddled with craters as before.

Time flows like water, slipping away unconsciously…

The dazzling starlight reflecting from the outer Colorful Nebula of Seven Star Spirit Realm lit up the nearby void but made the distant Meteor Sea even darker and more enigmatic.

Suddenly,

Three streaks of light suddenly burst through the darkness, racing from deep within the Meteor Sea.

A short time later, the three streaks of light had already flown to the side of the Star Nebula, landing on a dark yellow meteor twenty-some li away.

Once the glow subsided, Thunder Roc Ancestor cast a Thunder Light Shield with a radius of a hundred zhang to protect the three.

All three, gazing at the grand and magnificent spectacle of heaven and earth ahead, simultaneously showed expressions of shock and admiration.

“Hehe, the Tianqiong Wanderer did us a great favor before his death. He actually led us to such a miraculous and mystic place,” one said.

At that moment, the Mushroom Mother, her face swollen with blisters, coldly spoke up, “Thunder Roc, this place is indeed miraculous, but it is extremely dangerous. Caution is of the utmost importance!”

Seeing the numerous fragments of corpses floating in the spirit realm’s void, the Sneaky Youth also nodded in agreement, “Yama must have gone through an incredibly perilous battle upon entering this place. Otherwise, the scene wouldn’t be this ghastly.”

Thunder Roc Ancestor was always proud, and his face fell at being lectured by two inferiors, his expression turning cold.

“Humph, such obvious truths are not lost on me. There’s no need for your reminders!”

Hearing this, the Immortal Ganoderma Mushroom Mother and the Sneaky Youth were rendered speechless, silently lamenting how difficult Thunder Roc was to deal with, almost to the point of being unreasonable.

Just then, Xian Kong Ancestor suddenly emerged from the depths of Dark Star and transformed into a streak of Yellow Light flying towards the edge of the spiritual realm.

The trio spotted him clearly and, overjoyed, soared into the sky, transforming into Mystic Light and quickly approaching the Star Nebula of the spiritual realm.

Moments later, the Colorful Nebula parted to create a three-zhang-wide passage. The three rushed in without hesitation, crossed the nebula, and met up with Xian Kong Ancestor.

Thunder Roc was the most impatient and immediately demanded, “Xian Kong, I ask you…has the Tianqiong Wanderer been captured?”

Xian Kong Ancestor’s eyes narrowed into slits, chuckling as he replied, “Without the presence of our senior, we were not at ease! That Tianqiong fool is currently indulging himself in the Earth Core Crystal Cave, completely oblivious that his death is imminent!”

Thunder Roc’s eyes lit up with urgency, “So, does that mean there really is a grand opportunity hidden here, or a great treasure?”

“Hehe, this place is where one competes for the fortunes of heaven and earth, the mysteries behind it are far beyond your imagination! Come with me quickly! After we execute the Tianqiong Wanderer, we can enjoy such a magnificent opportunity all to ourselves!”
