All the Chaos Beasts simultaneously stopped their actions.
The faith in their hearts began to crumble.
At this moment, the Chaos Beasts no longer cared about their enemies.
Enemies who had been pushed to the brink of death began to flee frantically.
From their perspective, this group of Chaos Beasts had suddenly become foolish, standing dumbfounded in place, as if they had lost their souls.
No one thought of seizing the opportunity to slay a Chaos Beast.
The main reason was that no one knew what had happened, so no one dared to make a move.
They fled.
...
"Wuwu."
The Phoenix Lord wept.
At this moment, the Phoenix Lord seemed to have lost her soul.
The most important thing in her heart was being lost.
"Dragon King."
The Phoenix Lord murmured to herself.
At this moment, all the Chaos race felt the doom of the world approaching.
Even the Chaos Beasts far away in the tenth land sensed something.
When they looked up at the sky, nothing had changed.
But for some reason, all the Chaos Beasts felt that the sky had darkened.
Countless Chaos Beasts felt suffocated by pain.
"What happened?" a Chaos Beast muttered.
They wanted to know what was going on.
But... there was no answer.
Only the Chaos Beasts in the ninth land perceived everything more clearly. The Chaos Beasts in the tenth land didn't even consider the possibility of the Dragon King's demise; they just felt that something bad was about to happen.
Boom.
A sun bloomed in the sky above the ninth land.
The Golden Crow transformed into a scorching sun, charging northwards with frenzy.
At the same time, Chaos Beasts took to the sky one after another, heading north.
They felt the fall of the Dragon King.
In the eyes of every Chaos Beast, there was despair and mournful cries.
"Don't go."
Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed from the Yin-Yang River above.
"City Lord Chen?"
The Phoenix Lord and others no longer held any hostility towards Chen Fan.
Perhaps they had before.
But the events in the tenth land had made them completely forget their past grudges.
In the tenth land, the Chaos race owed their current life to City Lord Chen.
"It's me."
Chen Fan spoke, "I don't care what you feel. At this moment, everyone should continue doing their own things."
"City Lord Chen..."
The Phoenix Lord spoke urgently, "The Dragon King, he..."
"This is not your concern."
Chen Fan's tone was extremely cold at this moment, "Continue with your tasks. Don't cause trouble for me... or the Dragon King. Phoenix Lord, I believe you will make the most correct choice. Don't disappoint the Dragon King."
After speaking, his voice disappeared.
"..."
The Phoenix Lord, who had been rushing north, stopped.
Then, her voice resounded in all directions, "All members of the Chaos race, go and do what you should be doing. No one is to go north..."
"But..."
"Obey."
The Phoenix Lord's voice carried the might of a Realm Master, "I am the Realm Master now. If you still recognize me as your Realm Master, then obey my orders."
"... Yes."
After a long silence, both the Golden Crow and the Chaos Demon Butterfly stopped.
Since the Realm Master had spoken, she must have her reasons.
Besides, no one had seen the Dragon King fall, had they?
Even if he had fallen, there was still City Lord Chen.
Life and death, reincarnation, reversing Yin and Yang.
With the dual paths of resurrection, they believed the Dragon King was still alive.
After everyone stopped, only the Phoenix Lord looked towards the north with a pleading expression, "City Lord Chen, you must save the Dragon King!"
With that, she turned and left.
At this point, going north would be of no use.
What they could do now was to unify the ninth land as quickly as possible.
That would be the time for them to help.
...
Although the above events are described at length.
In reality, these events unfolded in mere moments.
The might of a powerful being is thus.
In the final moment before his demise, the Dragon King froze space.
The Evil Lord's body was immobilized, and Chen Fan's transmission was completed in an instant.
"Slash."
The two appeared simultaneously.
"Future World, descend!" Ping Xi's voice was like thunder.
Boom.
The Yin-Yang River flowed.
An immensely vast world descended from the Yin-Yang River, merging into the Yin-Yang Dual Spears: "Kill..."
The most powerful strike of their combined efforts.
"Chirp."
The twin swords struck the Evil Lord's body.
The Great Dao crisscrossed, shattering the Evil Lord's physical form. The Dao principles were sharp, a heaven-splitting strike.
Meanwhile, the Yin-Yang Dual Spears, empowered by the strength of the Future World, bombarded the Great Dao.
Rumble.
The Great Dao, filled with poisonous mist, was the Evil Lord's exclusive domain.
The power of the Yin-Yang world fiercely struck the Evil Lord's Great Dao, causing it to shatter inch by inch, but the speed was slow.
"This won't do."
The Yin-Yang Dao Master was anxious.
The speed was too slow.
This was an opportunity the Dragon King had exchanged for his life. Before the Evil Lord could break free from his restraint, even if he couldn't be killed, he had to be severely wounded.
But... with her ninth-tier strength, she couldn't achieve it.
She could only inflict minor injuries on the Great Dao.
Not even a tenth of the way, what could be done?
"Fall."
The Gravity Treasure Orb appeared instantly.
At this moment, Chen Fan, with great satisfaction, lifted the restrictions on the Gravity Treasure Orb and placed it on the Yin-Yang Dual Spears: "Again..."
With the amplification of the Gravity Treasure Orb, the power of the Yin-Yang Dual Spears surged.
Bang bang bang.
The Evil Lord's Great Dao continuously shattered.
Meanwhile, the Sword Master and Chen Fan joined forces to destroy the Evil Lord's physical body and essence.
"Refine."
Even his soul was shattering, constantly breaking down under their combined efforts.
...
"Heh heh."
However, in the netherworld, the Evil Lord's voice echoed again.
Under the horrified gaze of the three, surging poisonous mist churned and appeared.
Each wisp was like a source of world destruction.
"Continue attacking," Chen Fan roared, unwilling to hold back.
Boom.
The three attacked frantically.
The poisonous mist churned, constantly being consumed.
The next moment, the churning poisonous mist stopped. The Evil Lord reappeared before the three, unharmed.
His malevolent eyes sent shivers down their spines.
"This..."
It was too fast.
A top-tier eighth-tier being, using his own energy and the spirit of his Great Dao, and burning his life, had only managed to restrain the opponent for less than a second.
And the combined attack of the three felt like a mere tickle to the Evil Lord.
There was damage, but... was that minor injury useful?
It was useless.
They could clearly sense that the Evil Lord was still as powerful as before.
Chen Fan turned in shock and looked at the Thousand Threads Dao Master in the distance, "What the hell did you create?"
Qian Si remained unfazed, his face still bearing a smile.
Unbeknownst to them, his inner shock was no less than that of the three of them.
The Evil Lord had grown stronger again.
He was more than twice as strong as when he had last appeared.
At this moment, Qian Si felt a prickling sensation on his scalp.
Such a powerful Evil Lord... can I truly still suppress him?
Even he himself was uncertain.
"No."
Qian Si was truly frightened. "After this battle, he cannot be allowed to remain."
He thought this to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.
He decided that after this battle, if the problem of the Evil Lord could be resolved, it would be resolved immediately. If not... he would be killed.
Only then could he feel at ease.
