"There's me too."
More and more people jumped out.
"Ah..."
The giant that first appeared let out a scream.
He couldn't escape, couldn't tear through the Yin wind.
Endless skeletons attached themselves to his body, absorbing his essence, blood, and energy.
In an instant, the torn Yin wind converged once more.
Bang!
The giant fell to the ground, turning into a dried husk.
All the energy that belonged to the giant was absorbed by the Sky Skeleton, replenishing the Yin Wind Grand Array.
"Heaven and Earth have rain."
A soft murmur sounded.
Hiss!
In the secret realm, it began to rain.
This rain carried corrosive properties.
The power of wind and rain combined.
Corrosion was the Sky Skeleton's strongest tactic.
"Ah..."
For a time, even the powerful beings possessing bodies couldn't resist.
None of those who possessed bodies were weak, but facing the Sky Skeleton, they were still no match.
The Sky Skeleton's area-of-effect attacks were too potent.
"Gather."
Finally, someone called for everyone to assemble.
"Attack together."
More than ten people joined forces.
They tore through the Yin wind, pushed back the rain, and approached the Sky Skeleton's true form.
"Kill."
Heavy sabers descended, flames surged, and gazes tore through the heavens.
All attacks were aimed at the Sky Skeleton.
The Sky Skeleton's expression turned grim, and he was forced to retreat.
But it was useless.
No matter how far he retreated, his pursuers followed.
Simultaneously, the Yin wind and rain curtain was completely shattered.
The Sky Skeleton ultimately couldn't break through the Divine level. The enemies were too numerous, and he felt the pressure.
But who was the Sky Skeleton? The foremost figure beneath the Skeleton King, how could he retreat?
"Explode for me."
The Sky Skeleton unleashed his power.
Rumble!
The rain curtain and Yin wind, which had just been torn apart, exploded simultaneously.
No one expected the Sky Skeleton to have such a move.
Amidst the roaring, many couldn't dodge in time and suffered injuries.
The Sky Skeleton's true form was also sent flying back repeatedly.
The solid-looking skull above his head blocked the attacks, but it was constantly shattering.
Finally...
Bang.
The skull exploded.
The Sky Skeleton's mental power instantly weakened, and his strength plummeted.
He had no one left to fight.
He could no longer even control Molofi's body, being expelled by the body's rejection.
Molofi had just regained control of his body...
"Leave it to me."
It was Chen Fan's voice.
Molofi, with a pale face, unhesitatingly retreated again.
"I have a sword."
Chen Fan controlled the body: "It can move mountains, fill seas, destroy cities, and cleave the heavens..."
His voice echoed like an ancient fiend in the heavens and earth.
The next moment, a sword light appeared above everyone's heads.
That sword light was so brilliant it was blinding, causing tears of blood to stream from their eyes with just a glance.
"The sword is unsheathed, and it shall bring slaughter to the world..."
Puff!
As the sword light descended, the world was engulfed in a blinding brilliance.
Even those outside instinctively closed their eyes, tears welling up.
...
With a single sword, the world fell silent.
When everyone came back to their senses and looked at the screen again, a colossal ravine stretched across the secret realm.
The First Cardinal was now reinforcing the secret realm's power.
That sword strike had nearly torn the secret realm apart.
"So strong."
Even the First Cardinal felt the pressure.
That sword strike was incredibly potent.
And within the secret realm, not many people were still standing.
Bodies lay scattered on the ground, completely lifeless.
Only two people remained standing: besides Molofi, there was a White Cardinal, currently... this White Cardinal's body was occupied by a burly man.
"Heh."
The burly man hadn't fallen, his body covered in countless sword marks.
"I blocked it."
The burly man was smiling.
But as he smiled, he felt something was wrong and slowly lowered his head.
Bang.
A head fell to the ground.
One sword, no life.
An annihilation.
In the vast secret realm, as far as the eye could see, only three people remained.
The other two slowly walked towards Chen Fan.
One was the Angelic Council's Empty Cardinal, Ling.
The second, who had been wearing a white robe earlier, was now stained black, from the Dark Church.
"Truly strong."
The person from the Dark Church sighed. "Allow me to introduce myself, the Dark Church's First Dark Cardinal, Karl."
"Be careful."
The Sky Skeleton's voice was weak, but he still warned, "Legend says Karl is the foremost figure in the Dark Church besides the Dark Holy Emperor. No one has ever seen him fight, and everyone who has seen him fight has died."
"Sky Skeleton."
The First Dark Cardinal smiled. "Revealing my information like this, isn't that bad?"
Sky Skeleton: "..."
"Sigh, fine."
The First Dark Cardinal smiled. "It's not your fault, it's the rules."
Rules were rules.
Outside, anything was permissible, but here, even allies would fight to the death.
Although the Skeleton Society was the foremost force under the Dark Church, they were often independent. Both sides developed separately, as long as they didn't make the wrong choices on major issues.
The First Dark Cardinal couldn't fault the Sky Skeleton's actions.
Otherwise, what? Stand still and let him kill you?
Was that possible?
The strong who could reach this stage all had their own principles.
If truly pushed to the brink, a mutual destruction wasn't out of the question.
"Heh."
The Sky Skeleton sneered coldly.
He was wary of the First Dark Cardinal, but not afraid.
"Alright, since you have no ability to fight anymore, just stay put." The First Dark Cardinal smiled.
"Karl."
At this moment, Cardinal Ling spoke. "You and I shall first join forces to kill Chen Fan, and then we can decide the victor. How about it?"
