Chapter 1704: Chapter 191: Xiao Ziyi and the Mother Empress
Without the Immortal Evil Soul, he originally thought that Lei Yan King would be easy to defeat, but to his surprise, Lei Yan King’s strength far exceeded his imagination.
Jiang Xing was not careless, and the moment he sensed Lei Yan King’s power, he immediately took action, and the killing intent of the Sky Vaulting Giant Finger erupted abruptly.
The giant finger crushing the void suddenly stabbed towards Lei Yan King, as if it intended to pierce Lei Yan King to death with one finger.
Lei Yan King, meanwhile, unleashed the Emperor’s Fist Intent.
It was a deadly move mastered by himself, which also originated from the killing move of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate.
Even if nothing else remained, the combat experience and cultivation methods of rules still existed in Lei Yan King’s body as if by instinct.
Thus, as he unleashed this punch, that incredibly powerful Sky Vaulting Giant Finger was shattered instantly by his fist.
"Boom——"
The void trembled, and Lei Yan King was knocked back several thousand meters, while Jiang Xing was also sent flying with a punch.
Clearly, Jiang Xing suffered a hidden loss in a single exchange.
Their combat power was evenly matched!
"I didn’t expect such strength, luckily, I brought a Soul Stealing Weapon this time!"
Jiang Xing sneered coldly, and like a dreadful scythe, the terrifying weapon suddenly attacked directly, and invisible shadows spread across the heavens and earth as if all shadows in the world were rushing to kill Lei Yan King.
Lei Yan King continued to unleash Fist Intent, with each punch carrying an incredibly fierce Wilderness Beast. These beasts manifested various totem marks, evidently extremely ferocious and powerful.
Within such killing intent, the collision of moves reached a highly intense level.
In a fleeting moment, Lei Yan King and Jiang Xing were locked in fierce combat.
One move.
Two moves.
A hundred moves.
Tens of thousands of moves.
After several hundred breaths, the two had exchanged tens of thousands of strikes, temporarily reaching a stalemate.
Even in such a battle, Lei Yan King did not suffer a loss, and Jiang Xing similarly took no significant damage, although Jiang Xing appeared a bit haggard, yet even more frenzied.
On the scene, Xiao Ziyi did not leave; instead, she suddenly brandished a purple bow and arrow.
In the heat of battle, Xiao Ziyi suddenly condensed an extreme will, releasing an arrow imbued with the aura of the Evil Venerate Sword.
Previously, the scene of that arrow instantly shattering Lei Yan King’s body made Xiao Ziyi ponder, believing that even such formidable Lei Yan King could not escape, and now Jiang Xing certainly could not escape either.
With instinctual intent, Xiao Ziyi unleashed such an arrow.
Indeed, this arrow disregarded time and space, and the moment it appeared, it pierced through Jiang Xing’s forehead in an instant, instantly penetrating it, while the terrifying power caused Jiang Xing’s head to explode.
"Puff——" A sound of violent explosion echoed, endless blood mist flew and exploded, and Jiang Xing was instantly killed.
After such a lock, the wisp of aura from the Evil Venerate Sword suddenly weakened, and the terrifying backlash force caused Xiao Ziyi to suddenly kneel in the void.
"Puff—Puff—"
Inexplicably, the powerful backlash force erupted instantly, and Xiao Ziyi’s eyes suddenly burst.
At the same time, her hands holding the bow and arrow exploded instantly, turning into a mist of blood.
Although extremely painful, Xiao Ziyi struggled to hold on.
At this moment, Lei Yan King remained in a berserk state and did not awaken, instead madly devouring Jiang Xing’s Bloodline Power.
This devouring was like a volcanic eruption, and in an instant, Lei Yan King’s realm leapt from the Seventh Level Qiankun Heavenly Sword Venerate to the Eighth Layer Hao Yu Heavenly Sword Venerate, only it was not yet completely devoured when a beam of blood light surged to the sky, and a Sky Vaulting Giant Finger stabbed forcefully. This finger directly knocked Lei Yan King into the endless dark void and crushed his entire body.
Lei Yan King’s body turned to dust, yet due to unknown origin power deep in his brow, he did not die at once. Instead, due to the strong Nirvana power, he revived again.
However, in this condition, Lei Yan King still appeared as a Blood-furred Monster.
But the parts of Jiang Xing’s body that had died quickly restored and gathered together, forming a shadow that suddenly merged into the Sky Vaulting Giant Finger, disappearing.
At this point, Lei Yan King charged madly but could not stop Jiang Xing from escaping.
Lei Yan King hunched over, his entire body covered with blood-colored fur more than two meters long, spreading out like flowing fresh blood, scattering in all directions.
The blood hair danced, and waves of bloodthirsty and terrifying bloody aura dissipated everywhere.
Not far in front of Zhou Yan, Xiao Ziyi’s eyes were gone, and her hands were broken, creating an incredibly shocking scene.
This scene was incredibly familiar, fiercely impacting Lei Yan King’s heart, yet Lei Yan King still did not awaken.
Lei Yan King roared madly, completely uncontrollable.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ziyi, exhausted by the unknown energy backlash of the ’Evil Venerate Sword,’ was in a dire situation.
Though she lost her hands and eyes, she could still sense Lei Yan King’s condition.
So, after hesitating, she suddenly condensed hands of energy and directly grabbed the fallen black scythe left by Jiang Xing, a beam of dark light stabbing towards her chest.
This was self-execution, self-transformation.
Such a method was not merely to destroy her body but to self-decimate, self-destruct and kill.
Thus, once this strike is unleashed, Xiao Ziyi shall perish tragically.
In that moment, Lei Yan King’s blood-colored body seemed as if struck by lightning.
"Ah—No—"
Lei Yan King became furious, yet amid the extreme emotional outburst, he finally suppressed the evil spirit’s malicious thoughts and awakened the obsession driven by emotion.
With emotional obsession awakening, the power of emotion burst forth, Lei Yan King instantly became extremely cold and determined, yet mad!
Such madness was the madness after awakening.
The malicious demon heart was completely suppressed, and in that instant, Lei Yan King finally fully awoke.
"Ziyi, I have awakened!"
Lei Yan King spoke while fiercely grabbing the terrifying weapon that resembled a scythe of death.
"Slash—"
The scythe was less than three millimeters away from Xiao Ziyi’s body, and the strong energy had already cut inside.
"Poof—"
Xiao Ziyi spurted out a mouthful of blood, yet displayed a comforting smile.
"You finally... awakened."
Xiao Ziyi’s voice was difficult, yet after saying this, her body fell into the void.
Crimson blood began to seep from all around her body.
At this moment, Lei Yan King directly scooped up Xiao Ziyi, then exerted his Nirvana power, using his own origin to continuously heal Xiao Ziyi’s body.
But what’s very strange is, the injuries on Xiao Ziyi’s body weren’t restored by the Nirvana power, altogether uncontrollable, utterly irrecoverable.
"How can this be? These injuries actually transcend the rules. Who was it? Who on earth injured you like this!"
When Lei Yan King found himself unable to heal Xiao Ziyi no matter what, he instantly became incredibly panicked, helpless, and filled with rage and frenzy.
That frenzy threatened to release his malicious thoughts once again.
Yet he forcefully suppressed them, preventing the malicious thoughts from erupting.
"This is a power called the ’Evil Venerate Sword.’ It seems to be a tremendously powerful weapon—it’s like a part of my body, yet it remains far away from me, unable to be reached. It won’t harm me, but I paid a corresponding price forcing its power."
After quite some time, the partially awakened Xiao Ziyi whispered.
Lei Yan King nodded blankly, yet continued to wipe away the blood from Xiao Ziyi’s body.
"It’s alright, Lei Yan King, no matter what, we are ultimately still alive, and this is the best outcome. Let’s quickly leave this place, return to the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm."
"There, the lady will protect us. Her strength is greater... greater than ours."
Xiao Ziyi uttered with a trembling voice.
Lei Yan King embraced Xiao Ziyi, quietly retracting the Primordial Magnetic Power from the heavens and earth, storing the Yuan Ci Secret Realm in his brow, and then prepared to head to the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm with the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower.
However, just after these actions were completed, Xiao Ziyi had already completely lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, the vitality within her was rapidly fading.
Lei Yan King was extremely panicked and terrified, sensing that his most cherished thing was truly leaving him, as if, here, were Xiao Ziyi to die, there would be no resurrection technique.
Lei Yan King did not depart, but stood in place, then opened the Yuan Ci Secret Realm in his brow, gazing toward the Life Ancient Tree within the Endless Blood River.
After pondering for a while, Lei Yan King grabbed the Life Ancient Tree.
"Slash—"
The Life Ancient Tree suddenly withered, with its dreadful rootstalks directly torn out.
Subsequently, Lei Yan King directly implanted the rootstalks of the Life Ancient Tree into Xiao Ziyi’s body.
However, after merging with the Life Ancient Tree, Xiao Ziyi suddenly convulsed, her body fragmenting into four parts.
"Ah—"
Lei Yan King was aghast; he had not anticipated such an origin Life Ancient Tree not only failing to heal Xiao Ziyi’s condition but instead shattering her into four parts.
"Quick, quickly use the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower and True Void Heavenly Prohibition alongside me, to reincarnate her into the next life!"
At this moment, a very peculiar woman suddenly flew out from the withered Life Ancient Tree and spoke anxiously.
"You are... Mother Empress?"
Lei Yan King instinctively recognized the woman’s identity.
However, he did not know this woman.
Upon hearing Lei Yan King’s statement, the woman was also taken aback and said, "You actually... recognize me? But it makes sense, you... you possess the Life Ancient Tree and opened the Yuan Magnetic Stone Gate, thus you’re eligible to know me. Follow my lead, or she won’t survive!"
"Reincarnate into the next life, doesn’t that mean splitting into four, never to be resurrected—"
Lei Yan King hesitated.
