The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s third hand appeared amid the Corpse Energy, reaching for Kong Xuan’s neck. As it moved, vast amounts of Corpse Energy rushed to Kong Xuan’s body to seal Kong Xuan’s cultivation when it grabbed Kong Xuan’s neck.
The consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm was still at consummation in the end. Even without a domain, such cultivators held an enormous advantage over people who had not reached consummation. So what if there was the peacock domain? Turning immaterial in the domain? No. That depended on the person. There seemed to be no escaping the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon; the hand instantly arrived at Kong Xuan’s neck.
Break!
Kong Xuan’s expression changed frantically as he flung out his hand.
Another beam of six-colored divine light shot out.
Boom!
That beam of six-colored divine light struck the third hand. The third hand exploded, but Kong Xuan hastened back as he sensed an immense threat earlier; he felt the palm could restrain him.
“Consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm?” Kong Xuan exclaimed in shock.
“You are much more aware than the Mosquito Daoist and Chang Ming,” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon sneered.
On the other side, millions of corpse worms charged at the Unborn Man. Black fog surged around the Unborn Man as he did his best to resist.
Kong Xuan felt shocked at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s strength. However, he did not fear it. He extended his hand and waved.
Boom!
Within the peacock domain, Kong Xuan’s figure multiplied rapidly. Soon, nearly ten thousand Kong Xuans appeared.
“Splitting into many in the domain? Hah! Do you think I don’t understand it? Although you used the domain to turn into many, there is only one true body!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon sneered.
“Then come and find the real one!” the ten thousand Kong Xuans shouted simultaneously.
At the same time, ten-odd Kong Xuans suddenly sent out beams of six-colored divine light at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s back.
Whoosh!
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon moved extremely quickly, his figure flashing as he dodged the ten-odd beams of six-colored divine lights. However, there were ten thousand Kong Xuans in this place. There were not just ten-odd beams but nearly ten thousand six-colored divine lights that covered the place, densely packed together as they shot towards the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s face.
However, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon was in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. How could he be that easy to injure?
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon was like a beam of black light, quickly weaving between the six-colored divine lights while holding the Mosquito Daoist and Chang Ming with his hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the beams of six-colored divine light shot over, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon strangely dodged them all.
The ten thousand Kong Xuans appeared slightly anxious.
As the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon dodged, his body gave off boundless Corpse Energy that swept out in all directions, filling the peacock domain.
“Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, aren’t you in the consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm? Don’t run if you are that capable!” Kong Xuan said anxiously.
“Then I won’t run!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s figure suddenly stopped.
Whoosh!
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon stood in midair, sneering at the ten thousand Kong Xuans.
“You are not running anymore? Humph! Then die!” the ten thousand Kong Xuans roared together, immediately flinging out beams of six-colored divine light at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
“You are quite capable. Unfortunately, you are too inexperienced. After running around once, I have already figured out everything.” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon showed a malicious smile.
A third hand suddenly manifested in the boundless Corpse Energy that had spread out in the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s wake earlier. No, it was not just a third hand but ten thousand hands. All of them thrust ferociously at the unguarded Kong Xuans.
Boom!
A loud report rang out as all the beams of six-colored divine light shattered. The ten thousand hands in the Corpse Energy grabbed the ten thousand Kong Xuans’ necks. Intense Corpse Energy rushed into Kong Xuan’s body, sealing his cultivation.
“What?” In pain, Kong Xuan wanted to pull away the hand on his neck. However, he failed.
“Turning into many within a domain? If I can’t find your true body, then so be it. I’ll just capture all the clones. Let’s see where you can escape to!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon sneered.
“Lord Kong!” the Mosquito Daoist cried out anxiously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surrounding Kong Xuan clones promptly vanished, along with the peacock domain, leaving one Kong Xuan with his neck caught and slowly brought to the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
“You ran around intentionally earlier! Cough! Cough!” Kong Xuan roared, unresigned.
“When I traveled the world, you weren’t even born yet. To think you want to deal with me with just that? However, this is fine. In exchange for those dead subordinates, I have the three of you; I have not made a loss. Hahaha!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon guffawed.
“Let me go! Otherwise, His Reverence will not let you off!” Chang Ming yelled in pain.
“Your emperor? That Gu Hai? I heard he had only just entered the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm. How funny! How laughable! To think you expect him to save you? Hahahaha!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon guffawed cockily.
As the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon laughed, he picked three of the corpse worms surrounding the Unborn Man, and they flew over slowly.
“Enter their bodies! Feed on their brains and snatch their bodies!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon ordered confidently.
When the corpse worms were about to arrive, the three showed expressions of despair.
“His Reverence will avenge me!” the Mosquito Daoist yelled in a rage.
“Gu Hai? Humph! If he dares to come, I’ll have him join you!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon sneered.
“Is that so?” An icy voice suddenly rang out in the air.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s face sank as he looked up.
“Ninth Cycle!”
Boom!
A large manifested saber flew at the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
This manifested saber seemed like it could destroy the world. Even Sect Master Heavenly Access could not match this saber strike.
Everywhere the manifested saber passed, it ripped massive holes in space. The subsequent shock waves exploded countless mountains in the surroundings. This powerful manifested saber instantly arrived before the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, rushing at his face.
“You want to kill them too?” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s face sank.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon immediately shielded himself with Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming to force that saber strike to avoid him. After all, that was how Kong Xuan fell earlier.
However, the Ninth Cycle did not stop. Instead, it approached with powerful, lethal might.
“Since you want them dead, so be it!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon snarled.
At first, Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming rejoiced. Then they showed horror, as the Ninth Cycle was too horrifying; it would destroy the three in an instant.
However, Gu Hai had superb control of the Ninth Cycle. The manifested saber suddenly turned paper thin on approach, passed between Kong Xuan and the Mosquito Daoist, and continued towards the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s face. It looked like it would cut the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon in half.
“You bastard!” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s expression changed.
If this attack struck him, he would be injured. How could he let the manifested saber land? Since he could not execute any technique now, he could only release the prey in his hands to counter with palm strikes.
Boom!
The powerful clash ripped open a black hole. Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming regained their freedom, instantly blasted away.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon quickly moved back, unscathed.
Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming immediately looked at the sky in shock the moment they regained their freedom.
Gu Hai wore imperial robes and held the Life Executioner Saber while standing in the sky. The earlier Ninth Cycle had rescued the three and blocked the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
“The Ninth Cycle? That can’t be! His Reverence did not drive the power of the Han Nation. How could he execute the Ninth Cycle without the energy of the citizens?” Kong Xuan appeared slightly shocked.
The Mosquito Daoist and Chang Ming were stunned. However, this was not the time to be in a daze, so they quickly flew to Gu Hai.
They arrived beside the Gu Hai holding the Life Executioner Saber in the blink of an eye.
“This way!” A voice suddenly came from a cloud behind Gu Hai.
The three looked over, and their faces stiffened. There’s another Gu Hai?
That’s not right. The one in the cloud is the real Gu Hai. The one who executed the Ninth Cycle is not the real Gu Hai; that one is larger than the real Gu Hai.
“The Go Dao’s cloud beast?” the Mosquito Daoist said in shock with a startled expression.
“His Reverence used a Go Dao ritual array to manifest a cloud beast of himself?” Chang Ming said, amazed.
“That’s right. No matter who he manifests, it would not be as perfect as manifesting himself. His Reverence manifested the him from eight hundred thousand years in the past, when his mortal soul monopolized his body?” Kong Xuan’s eyes lit up.
The three flew over to the real Gu Hai.
As Gu Hai controlled the cloud beast, he coldly eyed the distant Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
The Ninth Cycle actually did not injure the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon? Gu Hai’s face sank at this sight.
“The consummation of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm is truly extraordinary!” Gu Hai said sullenly.
Sect Master Heavenly Access was probably at the peak of the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm’s ninth layer. Even so, the Ninth Cycle had injured him. However, this Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon remained intact, not wounded at all. This made Gu Hai feel exceptionally grave.
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon also felt grave.
“The Go Dao laws? To think you can drive the Go Dao laws so casually?” The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon narrowed his eyes.
“Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon, how despicable of you to bully the weak!” Gu Hai looked coldly at the distant Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon.
“Bully the weak? Hah! Are you saying I’m bullying your subordinates? However, so what? Can your Go Dao cloud beast truly injure me?” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon said indifferently.
After speaking, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon immediately charged Gu Hai.
Whoosh!
The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon seemed to turn into a beam of light as he rushed over. Gu Hai’s cloud beast glared while swinging down the Life Executioner Saber.
“Ninth Cycle!”
Boom!
The earth-splitting saber strike tore through space as it arrived before the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon again.
This time, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon was prepared. His expression turned cold as he threw a palm strike with all his might.
“Destroy!” the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon snarled.
Boom!
A thunderous report rang out as a massive black hole ripped open.
The saber cut the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon’s shoulder, and some blood seeped out—apparently a minor injury. However, Gu Hai’s cloud beast exploded.
The clash that injured both sides destroyed the practically invincible Gu Hai cloud beast in the blink of an eye. The expressions of Kong Xuan, the Mosquito Daoist, and Chang Ming changed dramatically at this outcome.
Gu Hai’s cloud beast is no match for him? The Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon is too strong!
Even more horrifyingly, the Corpse Worm Heavenly Demon had chosen to take some damage earlier just so he could instantly arrive before the four to prevent Gu Hai’s group from catching a breather.
Whoosh!
Arriving before the four, he gave off a vast amount of Corpse Energy. Thousands of hands manifested in the Corpse Energy, reaching for the four.
“Oh no!” the Mosquito Daoist cried out.
Only Gu Hai showed a sneer. “Although you destroyed one of our pieces on the Go board, a piece is a piece. It can never injure the player!”
