In a certain region of the southern Zhonggui Realm, black tides surged, boiling towards a place of brilliant radiance in the center.
They were like moths to a flame.
They were inextinguishable.
Under such circumstances, the power of high-level beings would also be rapidly depleted.
They were at a decisive disadvantage.
Fighting the Evil God's servants in the Zhonggui Realm, locked in a tug-of-war, the ultimate losers would undoubtedly be them.
However…
The North Wind Sage pondered, they were already surrounded, and if they couldn't heavily injure the pursuing Evil God's servants, it would be difficult for them to strategically withdraw under the pincer attack of the Evil God's servants and high-star strange evils.
Take a gamble, strike hard at the Evil God's servants, and stun them.
Then, tear through the tide of strange evils at the fastest speed and break out of the encirclement.
This was the best and fastest way to break through!
Her Majesty the Empress had already thought of this.
Besides the Empress and the North Wind Sage, the Wudu Empire also had a newly promoted high-level being.
The ninth-tier expert of the Sea Monster Empire, also one of the three revered beings.
At this moment, the three powers had gathered, totaling eleven high-level beings. The North Wind Sage and the Great High Priest of Storms felt a surge of confidence at this sight.
Fight!
After being pursued for so long, they were utterly exasperated.
Eleven streams of light streaked through the air, then suddenly made a sharp turn.
The North Wind Sage and the Great High Priest of Storms, both seasoned high-level beings, were not familiar with each other, yet they cooperated with remarkable synchronicity at this moment.
Exquisite wind laws howled, from a point to a surface, from small to large, raising a fierce storm in the blink of an eye that could envelop half the great domain.
The Ice Empress, whose combat power was even greater, walked forward step by step, leaning on her staff.
A path of frost spread out from her boots into the distance.
Ice carried the wind.
The ice storm enveloped one colossal silhouette after another in the distance, forming billions of sharp ice blades that ceaselessly cut into the bodies of the high-level servants, leaving behind traces of law.
"So strong!"
"As expected of Her Majesty the Empress."
The North Wind Sage's old face bore a smile like a chrysanthemum.
The high-level being from the Sea Monster Empire, clearly outshone and performing significantly worse, felt a pang of frustration.
No matter when, they and humans were always competitors.
What about the high-level beings from the Latch organization?
He had long heard of the formidable nature of the Latch organization, but these high-level beings were unknown, clearly just newcomers. Oh, not entirely unknown, the maiden with the wine-red hair among them had once suppressed the Devouring Yuan Great Beast in a clash of laws.
This Flame-Burning Sky, Yin Luoxi, had considerable attainments in laws.
She must be the leader of this reinforcement.
The Great High Priest of Storms observed secretly and saw: The four Latch powerhouses' combat strength ignited, the four Latch powerhouses charged forward, the four Latch powerhouses went directly to the front of the high-level servants.
Great High Priest: "???"
Wasn't our plan to unleash a counter-attack and then seize the opportunity to break through?
He looked at the North Wind Sage: What in the world are you guys doing!
The North Wind Sage was also dumbfounded.
Oh, right, the specific plan wasn't mentioned earlier, just a meeting of eyes, but who would be this reckless!
He cursed inwardly but still gathered his strength, preparing to provide support.
A resonant phoenix cry echoed, and the Prairie Conflagration descended instantly.
"The law attainments of this Flame-Burning Sky, Yin Luoxi, are indeed extraordinary, and her title is not misplaced… Wait, the range of this heavenly fire…"
He and the Great High Priest of Storms, by sacrificing some of their offensive power, had managed to spread the biting cold wind across half the great domain.
But now, with the appearance of the heavenly fire, it spread outwards like a sea of fire.
Ten kilometers.
Ten thousand kilometers.
Billions of kilometers.
Each cloud of fire contained terrifying burning power. As the Flame-Burning Sky gradually spread, it enveloped half a great domain, then a whole great domain, then one and a half great domains.
The North Wind Sage couldn't help but swallow.
"How much life energy does she have?!"
"Won't she drain herself dry by doing this?"
The North Wind Sage reckoned that even if he was drained dry, he couldn't unleash an attack of such vast scope.
The Flame-Burning Sky transformed into countless fiery dragons, descending fiercely.
Boom—!
!
The great domain shook violently, as if it were about to be torn open.
An immeasurable amount of strange evil turned to ashes in this instant.
The surrounding gray mist was also cleared, the polluted heavens and earth were purified, and countless tribes returned to peace amidst the purifying flames.
Only a few relatively powerful strange evils remained, enveloped in terrifying heavenly fire, rolling and howling.
High-level strange evils and a few high-level servants were largely unharmed.
Yin Luoxi's move was ultimately an area-of-effect attack, with less lethality against powerful individuals.
Even so, the high-level servants were somewhat startled.
Humans were indeed insignificant, but any being who could rise to a high level from such a small and numerous species could not be underestimated.
Startled, but not afraid, the high-level servants watched the human high-level beings charging towards them, their faces gradually contorting into sinister grins.
Humans, when did they dare to charge at them?
"Heheheheheh—"
They grinned, tearing through the scorching heavenly fire, and streaked across the sky.
The next moment, their grins abruptly ceased.
The sky, which had just dimmed and was again shrouded in gray mist, now inexplicably displayed a dazzling orange-red fiery glow.
A familiar orange glow!
Flame-Burning Sky, again?
The familiar billions of fiery dragons roared and descended upon the scarred earth, causing the entire great domain to tremble violently, and also damaging the divine bodies of the high-level servants.
Under the endless heavenly fire bombardment for the second time, they began to get injured.
And in the distance, the human maiden, enveloped in the orange-red fiery glow, spread her arms and looked down at the many high-level beings, a slight smile gracing her lips, like an invincible god of flame.
"Deal with this human who controls the heavenly flames!"
A high-level servant commanded. DaFeng Novel Network.
Disregarding the flames that could melt planets, he crossed space in a few steps and reached the human maiden.
The other two high-level servants, adept at speed and space, made the same choice.
Then, they were intercepted by Xing Jinglei and Xitina.
With their combined strength, they could not hold back three opponents of the same tier for too long.
Nor was it necessary.
The next moment, terrifying heavenly fire descended again.
This time, Yin Luoxi reduced the range but concentrated the lethality, covering only a small part of the great domain.
(You call half a great domain a small range?)
Why could this human maiden's flat body contain such vast and endless energy? The high-level servants couldn't figure it out, but then they saw an opening and clung tightly to Xing Jinglei in front of them.
In this entanglement, if they suffered the impact of the heavenly fire, the human high-level beings would inevitably be affected.
If they were injured, they would be injured together!
When it came to ruthlessness, the Evil God's servants had never feared anyone.
The heavenly fire descended mercilessly, as if to burn and destroy both enemies and allies.
The North Wind Sage, streaking in from the distance, couldn't help but pause.
Would he be caught in the indiscriminate bombardment of heavenly fire if he went over?
That wouldn't happen.
Yin Luoxi had extremely high control over her flames, but her flames inevitably affected Xing Jinglei and Xitina.
However, Xing Jinglei's defense was invincible, and the more he was injured, the stronger he became.
Xitina's Nirvana Sacred Fire battle suit already possessed extremely high resistance to fire, and her recovery rate was also very strong.
The former, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred – Xing Jinglei wished he would get injured.
The latter, killing a thousand enemies while losing two hundred – Xitina's injuries were unavoidable, but her fighting spirit was ignited, and she was fearless. Even if she died unexpectedly, she could be reborn and become stronger through the power of Nirvana – her Nirvana power had accumulated several times, but she hadn't died yet.
Xitina's desire to court death was stirring.
The Flame-Burning Sky struck down again.
And again.
And yet again.
The Great High Priest of Storms was stunned, "Are you humans all this fierce, this ruthless?" he asked, looking at the North Wind Sage.
The North Wind Sage screamed inwardly, "Holy crap."
Misunderstanding!
Humans are truly not this wild!
But Latch was truly too wild and fierce, even towards their own people! Those two powerhouses in the Flame-Burning Sky, though covered in wounds, did not retreat, not even frowning.
This was the Latch spirit, the Latch will!
Surprise, astonishment, and admiration arose spontaneously.
The Ice Empress, usually as cold as ice, ignited with thought, "Should we also promote the will of Latch in the Wudu Empire?"
Soon, in the realm of flames, the auras of some high-level servants rapidly waned and disappeared.
When the surrounding enemies became sparse, they naturally broke through the encirclement.
…
"Not bad, I'm also about to ignite."
While the battle was ongoing, Mentor Fang observed the entire process.
He was also worried about any accidents and was holding Little Huan's hand, ready to intervene at any moment.
He hadn't expected that the impetuous (strike that) battle-loving trio would live up to their reputation and simply stun the Evil God's servants. Their combination attack was indeed formidable.
Of course, compared to Yin Luoxi, who stole the show with her boisterous laughter throughout, the other two seemed rather low-key and unremarkable.
Xitina, who hadn't died yet, didn't have strong combat power.
Xing Jinglei might not be bad, but he took all the hits.
What, you ask where An Jianyou is? An Jianyou was hiding. She couldn't withstand Yin Luoxi's heavenly fire, nor was she a berserker. During the battle, she hid in the Netherworld Domain and, with the interference and cover of the blazing heavenly flames, covertly summoned the already combined red-clothed white silk strange evil to sneak attack and trick the thousands or tens of thousands of years old Evil God's servants.
The suddenly weakening and disappearing auras came from An Jianyou's hands.
Mentor Fang nodded with satisfaction.
He continued on his journey, occasionally glancing at Yin Luoxi and the others.
Heavily injuring and annihilating the Evil God's servants and high-level strange evils did not mean they were safe.
An Jianyou and her companions, along with the three high-level beings from Wudu and the three high-level beings from the Sea Monster, quickly retreated towards the outer regions of the Zhonggui Realm.
However, they were soon caught up by the Evil God's servants, and even attacked by a tenth-tier pursuer. Xing Jinglei and Xitina were both seriously injured.
Oh, the former healed quickly.
The latter grumbled about why she hadn't died yet.
This made the North Wind Sage and other high-level beings both shocked and impressed: they truly couldn't compare to the spirit and willpower of the Latch powerhouses! But hey, Empress, don't learn that kind of thinking!
The encounter with the tenth-tier pursuer was quite perilous.
Mentor Fang almost intervened.
Fortunately, An Jianyou and the others were already not far from the edge of the Zhonggui Realm, and after a few small-scale spatial displacements, they quickly crossed the abyss. Afterward, the tenth-tier pursuer did not cross the Zhonggui Realm to continue the chase.
"But it's a bit strange."
"Yin Luoxi and the others had clearly shaken off the pursuit of the Evil God's servants, and An Jianyou had also expanded her Netherworld Domain, masking all auras… but how were they still found and caught?"
"If the Evil God faction had such strong tracking capabilities, there's no reason why I wouldn't have been discovered."
What was the difference between his team and An Jianyou's team?
It was what had been done.
An Jianyou and the others had looted several tribes along the way.
The North Wind Sage and the others had even plundered a major imperial city.
"Was it the altar parts, which provided a location for the Evil God's servants?"
"No, it wasn't."
This was because after Yin Luoxi and the others escaped and handed over the parts to the waiting Latch powerhouses, they had, in their recklessness, probed back and forth around the outer perimeter of the Zhonggui Realm.
They were quickly discovered again.
"Perhaps, as long as the Evil God's altar was destroyed, or even just touched, one would be entangled by a certain aura."
He mused.
But for now, nothing could be seen.
Perhaps, after things settled down, An Jianyou and the others would need to be thoroughly examined.
When it came to Evil Gods, they could never be underestimated.
…
Based on An Jianyou and the others' experience, Fang You slightly altered his plan and decided not to attack any Evil God cities.
The risk was too great.
It would expose themselves.
They were quite deep within enemy territory now.
With the altar parts provided by An Jianyou and the others, and the North Wind Sage, Latch temporarily had enough research materials and didn't need to take risks.
Now, they had to take advantage of being undiscovered and continue to delve deeper into the Zhonggui Realm.
As they went deeper, they encountered more and more Evil God faction powerhouses in the surrounding areas. If they were unlucky, they might even run into a tenth-tier Evil God pursuer.
If they did, their disguises would not be able to fool such beings.
Mentor Fang held his breath, feeling considerable pressure.
Liufeng and Qianqiu were also tense, almost wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads.
Only Chi Yan remained carefree, and even a bit disappointed.
Disappointed that they didn't attack any Evil God cities.
She was also a representative figure of the berserker group.
Suddenly, she straightened up, her small nose twitching, as if she smelled something delicious.
"Found something good?" Fang You asked.
Chi Yan was a foodie, but her food choices were peculiar, including but not limited to certain limbs of high-level strange evils.
She could digest them.
What she wanted to eat was bound to be something good.
Chi Yan was equivalent to a half-treasure hunter, though she was not always accurate.
Fang You opened the Gui Realm exploration panel and glanced at the treasure markers, but there were no special treasures around. Clearly, Chi Yan's discovery was still quite distant.
"It's something good, something I really, really want."
"However, Chi Yan doesn't know what it is."
Her memory and body had not fully recovered yet.
She was not in her complete form.
Through killing, personally slaying high-level strange evils and high-level servants, she could achieve a certain degree of recovery. However, this recovery had stopped a year ago, as if she had hit a bottleneck.
Did recovery also have a bottleneck?
Fang You didn't know, but since Chi Yan said she longed for it, "Let's go and take a look."
Following Chi Yan's instinctual guidance, they continued on their way.
Half a day,
A whole day,
They traveled a considerable distance.
The surrounding gray mist grew denser, and they had not encountered any Evil God tribes or cities for half a day.
The ground remained gray-black, incredibly silent, with huge objects scattered across the expanse, like fragments of some item, but dull and lusterless, shattering with a single tap.
Here, even the strange evils seemed sparser.
An ominous aura loomed.
But Chi Yan became more energetic, her pace gradually quickening, impatient.
Fang You and the others quickly followed, guarding their surroundings.
No accidents occurred along the way.
Chi Yan squatted in front of a plain patch of ground, digging incessantly.
"Inside here is… is…"
"A part of me!"
