[Destruction!]
Actually, Tang San's anger went beyond this. Because when he sensed the life aura contained within that minor plane, he found it very familiar and immediately discerned its source.
It was exactly the Blue Silver Emperor seed he had left in the Golden Ancient Tree!
Although he didn't know how Chen Junting got his hands on it, Tang San was certain that his mother's True Spirit had also fallen into his hands.
But the problem was, this matter couldn't be exposed at all. After all, the truth behind this matter couldn't withstand investigation at all. Once investigated, all his maneuvers in the Douluo Plane would be impossible to hide.
In addition, there was Xiao Qi...
At this thought, a gloomy look appeared in Tang San's eyes.
He was no fool.
Successive failures, combined with the current situation, made him realize that it was fundamentally impossible for Xiao Qi to follow the script he had set. What gave him even more of a headache was that, according to the rules, Xiao Qi was only half a step away from completely inheriting his Sea God divine throne. And once she inherited it, without having her memories tampered with, she wouldn't be able to stand on his side at all.
If that was the case, wouldn't it mean that in the future, when Xiao Qi ascended to the God Realm, there was a huge possibility she would stand on the opposite side of him?
Such a situation was completely rotten!
No, he had to cut his losses in time.
Tang San no longer paid attention to the light screen and turned to leave.
"Sea God, where are you going?"
"Naturally, back to the Sea God Hall." Tang San tried his best to suppress his emotions, though his tone now seemed cold.
To this, the God of Destruction's eyes under his cloak showed indifference. He just casually shifted to another topic, "Is that so, I thought you were planning to go back and prepare to let your daughter inherit your Sea God's divine throne."
Tang San paused his steps, silent for about a breath's time.
"Does the God of Destruction still care about this?"
The God of Destruction's red eyes stared at Tang San's back. "I've watched little girl Xiao Qi grow up, after all."
"But you needn't worry about this."
As he spoke, Tang San's figure had already turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only one sentence: "According to the rules of the God Realm, no god may interfere with another god's divine throne inheritance."
Thus, only the God of Destruction was left looking at the spot where Tang San disappeared. "There is indeed such a rule, there is indeed..."
And on the side, the Fire God and other gods watching the scene that had just unfolded couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. Their intuition told them that they seemed to have been inexplicably drawn into some major event. Only the God of Emotions, who knew the inside story, had a serious look in his eyes at this moment.
With a flow of divine thoughts,
[Yuhao, I need to notify you of something...]
...
In the minor plane, the shattered sky was like a torn ancient scroll, with void rifts writhing ferociously, swallowing and spitting out chaotic currents.
And this was exactly what had been created before their eyes under the collision between Chen Junting and the Holy Emperor, two combatants at the God Official level.
Rumble—
A world-destroying giant sword condensed from lava and pure dark energy, carrying the will to destroy everything, solidified like a physical entity, slashing down towards Chen Junting's figure like it was cleaving mountains and breaking ridges!
Wherever the sword's edge pointed, space let out an overwhelmed wail.
However, Chen Junting didn't even shift his gaze.
Puff—
With one sword strike, the giant sword began to disintegrate, freeze, and shatter from the blade's edge at a visible speed! The eroding dark energy and lava flowed in vain, unable to leave the slightest mark, and was instead completely annihilated by an extreme sharpness intent.
Just at the moment of destruction, "Swish—"
A sharp divine blade swept across.
Realizing it was a divine artifact, it couldn't help but make Chen Junting take a second look.
His expression remained unchanged as he calmly extended his right hand, seemingly not putting the Holy Emperor's attack in his eyes at all.
In an instant, everything solidified.
Time and space seemed to have pressed the pause button.
The movement of the divine blade striking and the stillness of the paused time and space formed a suffocating, bizarre picture at this moment. Under the watchful eyes of Di Tian and the others, Chen Junting raised his right hand and directly grabbed the Holy Emperor's summoned divine artifact on the spot. The sharp divine blade couldn't move, as if it could only let Chen Junting continue his actions.
But accompanied by the surging of Qi and blood all over Chen Junting's body,
Rumble—
A violent roar echoed through heaven and earth. These two powerful auras made the minor plane let out a wail.
Because the Holy Emperor's divine blade wasn't just being pinched.
The large hand, with Qi and blood like a dragon, constantly closed in. An aura capable of shattering everything circulated, and divine power constantly squeezed...
The next moment, "Bang!"
The Holy Emperor's divine blade no longer had the ability to resist, directly shattering on the spot. Cracked patterns flashed, and the divine blade was actually crushed by Chen Junting's single hand on the spot. The spirituality contained within fell into silence, and the Holy Emperor's imprint was also erased.
Furthermore, right in front of the Holy Emperor, Chen Junting directly mobilized the life and death auras of the entire minor plane, smelting the fragments of the divine blade in an instant, and then refining them into the Seven Kill Sword.
"Roar—"
The loss of the divine artifact made the Holy Emperor suddenly let out a roar that shattered the void like a madman. Demonic patterns flashed frantically all over his body, instantly erupting with blinding light that broke through the imprisonment.
"You're courting death!"
That was a divine artifact!
A divine artifact bred by the Demonic Plane!
His massive body suddenly expanded a circle, and the dark energy on the bat wings behind him surged violently, its color changing from dark purple to a pure pitch black! He spread his arms, his ten fingers like hooks, fiercely piercing into his own chest, and terrifying energy erupted accordingly.
This meant he was truly going to fight to the death!
Rumble—
The entire minor plane shook violently!
Pitch-black flames spewed out from the Holy Emperor's body. They had no temperature, yet they exuded an absolute dead silence that devoured all life and energy! The sky was burning! The original void rifts were also dyed ink-black at this moment, and viscous black flames poured down from them like waterfalls! The air was burning! Omnipresent black flames arose out of thin air, constantly destroying everything in sight.
Seeing this, Chen Junting's mind moved accordingly.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Four completely different, yet homologous earth-shattering sword cries, like the first strand of Dao sound at the creation of the world, suddenly tore through the roar of the world-destroying black flames, echoing throughout the entire minor plane!
The next moment, the Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram blotted out the sky.
In the East, Mad King appeared wielding the Slaughter Immortal Sword, causing the shattered void to be fiercely pierced by a white sword light. Enveloping everything with killing intent, it extinguished the surging black flames wherever it passed.
In the West, the Evil Emperor spread out eighty-one tentacles, sweeping away everything with the Trap Immortal Sword intent carrying the meaning of all creation, making the spatial currents become sluggish and heavy, as if sinking into a boundless mire.
In the South, Tyrant held the Immortal-Slaying Sword that destroyed everything. The pure destruction it contained forced the black flames to retreat and annihilate.
In the North, an extreme cold filled with the meaning of death swept the entire field. Wherever it passed, the black flames, like accumulated snow thrown into boiling water, were silently dissipated by the Snow Empress holding the Absolute Immortal Sword.
Four divine swords guarded the four poles, echoing each other from afar. An invisible, peerless sword formation enveloping the entire plane was instantly generated!
Inside the sword formation, the spread of the world-destroying black flames came to an abrupt halt. The violent spatial currents were forcibly smoothed out, and all turmoil was suppressed.
Right at this time, Chen Junting's brows suddenly furrowed.
Because he received a message from the God of Destruction.
Thus, after locking onto the Holy Emperor again,
"We need to settle this quickly."
Chen Junting stood at the center of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, with the constantly melting black flames beneath his feet. He lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the Seven Kill Sword. He raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and "Ding!"
His fingertip gently tapped on the ancient, plain sword body.
A crisp, melodious sound of metal and jade, like morning bells and evening drums, thoroughly spread throughout the universe. "Using heaven and earth as a sheath."
As Chen Junting's cold voice fell, the entire minor plane enveloped by the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation underwent earth-shattering, drastic changes!
Life and death auras gathered. Life energy transformed into a straight sword spine, while the majestic death aura constantly extended, turning into a sharp sword guard, flashing with a cold metallic gleam, finally turning into sky-reaching giant swords, thousands of feet long and engraved with life and death patterns!
At the same time, everything in the minor plane also evolved into a world of swords under the influence of the sword formation. The sky was an inverted forest of swords! The earth was towering mountains of swords! The air was filled with sword qi!
"Ten Thousand Swords..."
Chen Junting's voice was as indifferent as the heavens.
"Return to the Ancestor!"
As his last two words fell.
The Slaughter, Trap, Absolute, and Immortal-Slaying Swords guarding the four directions simultaneously erupted with dazzling sword lights that pierced through the universe!
The four divine swords representing the ultimate killing power of the sword dao turned into a torrent. Under the guidance of Chen Junting's will, using the Seven Kill Sword as the commander and the sky-reaching giant swords as the center, they completely converged!
Four swords returned to the flow, ten thousand swords paid homage to the ancestor!
Boom—
In the sky, it suddenly became bright at this moment. Any aura belonging to the Holy Emperor completely dissipated. An indescribable sword light slashed down on the Holy Emperor's head and completely erupted!
The moment the giant sword descended, the expression on the Abyssal Holy Lord's face changed rapidly, from astonishment to shock, then to intense fear and unwillingness, finally turning into a sharp scream of fear and resentment.
"No—"
But his voice fell right there.
In the sky, the giant sword slashed down, carrying an unparalleled terrifying aura, fiercely cleaving the Holy Emperor into two halves!
Swish—
The dark purple light collapsed and scattered, and the Holy Emperor seemed completely dead.
However, Chen Junting didn't stop.
Suddenly, a world-shaking upheaval occurred!
In an instant, he, along with the shattered Holy Emperor, all returned from the minor plane to the Douluo Plane.
At the same time, from the Holy Emperor's remains, a purple-gold soul... No! It should be said a divine ring, slowly rose. In addition, there were what looked like two, but were actually one, shoulder blades.
And these were all left behind by the Demon Empress.
With a thought, Chen Junting easily absorbed the external divine bone left by the Demon Empress. As for the divine ring, he stored it away.
But right at this moment, nine-colored tribulation clouds began to gather in the sky. Clearly, the Douluo Plane had instinctively regarded Chen Junting, the Plane Lord of the minor plane, as an invader.
Regarding this, Chen Junting had long anticipated.
Or rather, this was supposed to be within his plan.
With a wave of his hand, the minor plane, ravaged by the divine battle, immediately overlapped with the Douluo Plane. At the same time, Chen Junting's idea was transmitted to the Douluo Plane's Plane Spirit through a divine sense at the moment of the planes' overlap, causing the nine-colored tribulation clouds to dissipate.
Immediately after, Chen Junting felt that a part of the Douluo Plane's authority was grasped by him, but what he gradually lost was the ownership of the minor plane, which was being gradually absorbed by the Douluo Plane.
He didn't mind it. Anyway, the Plane Spirit born in the minor plane had already been stripped out by him.
This was what he valued.
But what he was going to do next was the most important part!
As early as when he learned that the Holy Emperor's Demonic Plane was entangled with the Holy Spirit Church, Elder Electrolux had told him that the Evil Soul Masters had set up quite a few array patterns in the Sunset Forest and the Great Star Dou Forest.
At the same time, they deduced that these array patterns were definitely not limited to these few places.
They were all aimed at siphoning life energy.
But it was simply impossible for Chen Junting to modify and release them one by one. Thus, a flash of inspiration gave him an idea. That was to obtain a part of the Douluo Plane's authority, directly mobilize the power of the entire plane, and modify all those array patterns at once!
That's right, modify rather than release.
After all, they were going to reverse-devour the Demonic Plane!
Now that the Holy Emperor was dead, it also gave them the final anchor point.
Thus, according to the method taught by the God of Destruction, plus the feasible modifications made by himself and Elder Electrolux, "Whoosh—"
Chen Junting's Heavenly Eye instantly opened. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a pentagonal star array was formed with the Holy Emperor's remains at the center. The five great demon monarches, whether killed or sealed, were placed at the five directions of the pentagonal star array, and the power of fate traced back to the source!
In one fell swoop, he completely locked onto the Demonic Plane.
However, the Demonic Plane was moving rapidly.
"Trying to escape?"
A cold sneer appeared on the corner of Chen Junting's mouth.
In his view, this was a deathbed struggle.
After all, the most important Holy Emperor of the entire Demonic Plane already had a soul and a consciousness completely left behind, and the next most important five great demon monarches, whether captured alive or dead, were also here.
With so many fates pulling, could it shake them off?
The next second, nine-colored brilliance shone from the Heavenly Eye at the center of Chen Junting's forehead. All the array patterns set up by the Holy Spirit Church and the Demonic Plane across the entire Douluo Plane were also completely revealed in his perception.
Then, with just a adjustment of his hand, "Boom—"
The array patterns they had previously set up were instantly seen through completely by him, and then directly modified.
Suddenly, the entire Douluo Plane violently shook. Immediately following, a massive nine-colored light spewed out from all over the world. But when a powerful traction force appeared, everything around completely stagnated.
The actions of all living creatures stopped accordingly, and their thoughts also stagnated. Even the waves of the sea stagnated, unable to move a single bit. In this instant, what solidified was not just a person or a piece of land, but everything in the entire Douluo Plane.
Hum—
At this moment, the Demonic Plane could no longer escape.
It was being guided by the Douluo Plane, flying towards the Douluo Plane at a speed invisible to the naked eyes of gods.
In less than half a day, the two could completely overlap.
As long as the Demonic Plane's Plane Spirit was completely scattered, then the Douluo Plane could complete its devouring of the Demonic Plane!
