The Sacred Ruins

Chapter 727: Tearing the Netherworld in One Breath

Its massive body and long, black fur were incomparably frightening. It was almost like a demonic god that had awoken to devour the sea of stars.

Roar!

A giant roar resounded as a pair of eyes even more resplendent than the sun arrived outside the solar system. It was flowing with golden radiance and filled with killing intent.

His speed was simply too fast. From the moment it emerged from earth to when it devoured the Deity Race experts and arrived outside the solar system, everything was completed in mere seconds!

The Netherworld Race powerhouse, a terrifying existence at the heaven-illuminator level, failed to escape even though he was retreating while activating order runes.

Yaoyao’s grandfather blasted everything tyrannically with every raise of his fist. He erupted like a thunderbolt tearing through the dark night sky!

The fist was also covered in long black hair, but it was shrouded in intense yang energy. It was emitting a radiance capable of incinerating the void, causing everything in the surrounding to distort and collapse.

The Netherworld race expert’s cold eyes were filled with astonishment. He had never imagined that such a terrifying character would jump out from this fallen planet, which they had long since defeated and the descendants of which they had almost wiped out.

A slap of his sent the surrounding stars trembling. They emitted light and drew an arc along the palm’s trajectory, forming boundless order runes to help him form a suppression.

At the same time, black mist surged around his body. He was filled with boundless intent, almost as though he were a king from the underworld.

Bang!

Meteors exploded outside of the solar system, and even that was a result of incomparably accurate power control. They only locked onto the enemy without a single drop of energy wasted.

The shockwaves between them were simply too terrifying. This shattered some of the nearby comets.

“Old demon, who are you!?”

The Netherworld Race’s bigshot was both shocked and furious. He had been sent flying by the giant fist and sent crashing into a giant planet. His palm was covered in blood and his arm was spasming.

He had never expected to encounter such a development after revealing his face.

In truth, time still seemed to be in a frozen state because both he and Yaoyao’s grandpa had used spirit emission to transmit their voices rapidly.

The people throughout the starry skies hadn’t even come to their senses since the appearance of Yoayao’s grandfather. The movements of a heaven-illuminator were simply too fast.

To the masses, it looked like two bolts of lightning were entangled around one another. It looked as though there were immortal lights shooting about within a single breath.

“Group of random trash, you hunted down my son and harmed my granddaughter Yaoyao. All of you deserve to die!” Yaoyao’s grandfather roared with terrifying spiritual waves.

In front of him, an entire row of planets cracked and exploded.

This scene was bound to shake the entire universe!

One could see that his white teeth were stained with blood and half a body still struggling therein, pushing the teeth up with both hands.

At this point, the peerless saints observing this battle from afar couldn’t believe their eyes.

The Deity Race’s powerhouse was actually in such a miserable state. This person was almost at the heaven-illuminator level, but now, he was struggling at death’s door. What kind of scene was this?

One had to know that saints could utilize law fragments and control the power of order to tear space apart and escape.

But the Deity Race’s expert couldn’t escape. The white bones on his bloody hand were already visible—he couldn’t hold out much longer.

Additionally, his body had long since been torn into three parts. Some parts of his body were in the shape of a flood dragon-fish while others belonged to a human. Although he was trying his best to reform his human body, that wasn’t going to change anything.

“Ah…”

His spirit howled as he sent a message into the universe. He wanted to seek help from the ancient ancestor of his race because he could no longer hold on.

The moment those teeth came down, the man swung his fist with every ounce of strength he had, hoping to shatter Yaoyao’s grandfather’s teeth and pierce through his mouth. Unfortunately, it was useless.

That fist capable of piercing the primal chaos and shattering the starry skies couldn’t do anything against Yaoyao’s grandfather’s teeth and mouth.

Within that bloody mouth, there were all kinds of interweaving divine chains and orders formed from divine runes. This locked the man down like a fish out of water—he had no hope of survival no matter how much he struggled in the net.

Crack!

Blood spurted out as Yaoyao’s grandfather closed his mouth. The Deity Race expert, an almost god-like character, cried out wretchedly.

This scene was almost like a cruel execution!

What did it mean to be swallowed and flayed alive? The Deity Race expert here was putting on a live performance, one that caused the blood of all the peerless saints to run cold.

At this moment, not to mention the person suffering a cruel death, even the Netherworld Race saint on the other side felt apprehensive. He retreated rapidly without a single thought of saving the Deity Race person.

In truth, all of this had happened in the time it took for a spark to fly off the flint. The events had happened in a rapid sequence without a single pause. Yaoyao’s grandfather was now charging after the terrifying existence from the Netherworld Race.

In the solar system, even people at the golden body level couldn’t see what was happening, let alone the weaker ones. That was because a heaven-illuminator’s speed was beyond everyone’s imagination and reaction time.

A single breath’s time hadn’t yet passed at this point.

Only saints could make out the situation outside of the solar system.

Bang, bang, bang!

Beyond the solar system, the bigshot from the Netherworld Race crashed through one big star after the other as he retreated rapidly. Measuring from the distance alone, he had surely surpassed the speed of light.

That was because he had been constructing wormholes along the way as a means of escape.

However, every time, he would be smacked out by Yaoyao’s grandfather. Whenever he appeared in the starry skies, the Netherworld Race powerhouse would produce shocking destructive phenomena.

Countless planets had been shattered by them. Some stars also exploded into dazzling masses of light!

A battle at this level far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

“What situation is this?”

In the depths of the cosmos, experts of all races were shaken.

This was especially true of the Deity Race ancient ancestor who had just arrived at the Milky Way Galaxy. He had received the distress signal issued by a young talent of his race. He was so shocked that he could hardly believe what was happening.

Boom!

In the sea of stars, Yaoyao’s grandfather was chasing the target down. He was wrapped in a mass of yang energy so intense that many stars became dim in comparison.

He had locked onto the heaven-illuminator expert of the Netherworld Race, smashing out fist seals without holding back. His surging vitality suppressed the sun, moon, and stars.

The entire cosmos was trembling.

The Netherwolrd Race powerhouse felt his spirt throbbing. At this point, how could he not be afraid? So much so that he had a bad premonition about this. That was because this demonic god-like existence was simply too terrifying. The intense yang energy scorched his body, causing his spirit to become unstable.

He was like a snowman in the face of a fireman. This was an inherent suppression.

Bang!

As expected, he let out a muffled groan in this second showdown. His arm was covered in yang energy and showed signs of melting down.

“You old brute, didn’t you die back then!?” The Netherworld Race powerhouse roared furiously. He had already figured out the identity of Yaoyao’s grandfather from his words.

The latter jumped up and dived in for the kill. A mass of divine light formed of eerie divine runes locked onto the Netherworld Race expert’s arms and tore it off.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed out in all directions as the arm split open. The Netherworld Race powerhouse sprayed out a mouthful of chaos qi to attack Yaoyao’s grandfather. There was a black light mixed into this chaos qi which formed the Hell King’s Sword!

Clang!

The moment this sword appeared, the river of stars lost its color and the planets trembled. The sword qi spilling out reduced some of the nearby planets to powder—the killing intent was simply too strong.

However, Yaoyao’s grandfather roared loudly and shot out a stream of yang energy from his nose and mouth. The mountainous energy was blinding and scorching to the extreme as it pressed forward.

Clang!

The Hell King’s Sword formed from the black light was broken into several pieces. The starry sky was ravaged as the remnant black light shot out. Some stars were disintegrated or blasted into several fragments.

During this process, Yaoyao’s grandfather never stopped. A forceful tear caused Netherworld blood to gush out in all directions like a surging river.

The Netherworld Race expert screamed in misery as an entire arm left his body. The pain was unbearable. How many years had it been since he was last injured? Yet he had actually suffered such a heavy blow today.

He let out a long howl and shot out order runes from his nose and mouth. His soul roared, producing a spiritual storm that blasted the starry skies apart!

However, none of this could change the fact that he had lost his right arm!

He was pulling back rapidly at this point. He knew he had encountered a monster. He was simply not a match for this enemy and would surely die if he kept on fighting. In truth, he was already doubting whether he could leave with his life.

Boom!

Yaoyao’s grandfather performed an odd movement technique and traversed the sea of stars. His entire body was glowing as the long black hair all over his body danced about. He was like a matchless demonic lord as he arrived in an instant and stomped down on the enemy.

“You dare!?”

The Netherworld Race powerhouse deployed his spiritual arts. Laws weaved together to form a celestial cauldron forged from the power of the stars and guided by spiritual power.

Clang!

The giant cauldron drew Yaoyao’s grandfather inside and closed shut.

However, the container exploded amidst a surge of starlight. Countless shooting stars crossed the skies because a large number of planets had fallen. Yaoyao’s grandfather stomped down on the Netherworld Race expert’s chest and pierced right through it. It was a bloody scene.

The entire area was surging with black clouds of the Netherworld.

The Netherworld Race’s terrifying, heaven-illuminator level existence was furious. He felt that things were going badly, but at the same time, he felt humiliated at being stomped like this. He simply had no way to fight back against this attack.

Yaoyao’s grandfather attacked in quick succession. He kicked the enemy through the sky and sent the Netherworld Race bigshot flying through some planets.

“My poor child!” At this time, a tear fell from the pair of eyes even more dazzling than the sun. His consciousness was extremely clear this time as he thought back to old matters. Back then, he had been trapped in the depths of the earth with no power to return to the surface. His son was killed, and his greatly talented granddaughter had fallen. All of his anger and indignance erupted at this point!

“Roar!”

Like a beam of light, he arrived at shocking speeds and seized the Netherworld Race powerhouse.

All of this also happened in a moment, far beyond the thought and reaction of an ordinary person. Only saints could see this battle; ordinary people couldn’t witness it at all.

“Ah…”

The Netherworld Race giant struggled. Black runes seeped out all over his body as he utilized the power of law, hoping to blast Yaoyao’s grandpa to death. However, he actually couldn’t fire!

Outside of Yaoyao’s grandfather’s body, the yang energy had formed an indestructible halo with shocking defensive capabilities.

At the same time, Yaoyao’s grandfather followed with a fist even larger than a planet. The attack pierced through the Netherworld Race expert’s chest and broke countless bloody bones.

“Old Demon!” The Netherworld Race expert roared spiritually. He had used up every card he could, yet he still couldn’t escape. All kinds of wondrous techniques and arts were shooting out, but nothing could move the other party.

Soon, Yaoyao’s grandfather followed up with another fist into the enemy’s mouth. The attacked pierced right through amidst a shower of flying teeth and emerged from the back of the enemy’s head.

“Ah…”

The Netherworld Race powerhouse raged and struggled with all his might, using everything he had in his power. But the problem was that he couldn’t fight the other party at all. This demonic existence was simply too frightening and filled him with a feeling of helplessness.

It was especially true now that he was captured and unable to escape.

Bang!

His spirit shot out of his skull in a bid to escape, but a wisp of surging yang energy pushed him back into his physical body.

Pfft!

In a split second, the Netherworld Race expert’s left hand left his body, torn apart by Yaoyao’s grandfather.

One had to know that every time the physical body suffered injury, the spirit would also sustain damage. That was because their respective attacks reached the soul and would damage the spirit core.

Next, the Netherworld Race expert’s legs became deformed and were subsequently torn down. The pain caused him to raise his head and unleash a spirit storm—his soul was roaring furiously.

Earth, in front of Mount Zhijin.

Chu Feng’s expression changed. “Oh no!”

From the beginning up until now, the battles in the starry skies were all completed in a flash, almost like entangling lightning bolts. But now, the total duration was just a single breath!

Chu Feng was filled with worry, not knowing what the situation in the starry skies was. He felt his scalp go numb when Yaoyao’s grandfather didn’t return according to the set time.

In the cosmos at this moment, no one apart from the top experts had noticed what was happening.

But there were some noticeable signs. That was because the scenes on the Origin Beast Platform and Black Blood Arena had turned black all of a sudden. The fierce battles between the heaven-illuminators had directly shattered the monitoring of heaven’s eyes.

Fortunately, they had backup plans. The heaven’s eyes at different coordinates came online and, at the same time, activated their defenses.

When the platforms resumed their live broadcast, people could see some fragmented scenes that left them in a daze. All the major platforms had worked together to combine the images.

Finally, people realized what had happened!

Swallowing the Deity Race’s quasi heaven-illuminator in one gulp? This was a legend among legends, destined to shock the entire cosmos!

The Netherworld Race’s powerhouse has been torn apart?

The entire universe was shocked. None of the races dared to believe what had just happened.

At this moment, in the starry skies, Yaoyao’s grandfather’s aura had changed. His golden eyes were turning scarlet red and boundlessly horrifying. They were like two bloody moons hanging in the sky.

However, the Netherworld Race heaven-illuminator still couldn’t escape.

Additionally, when Yaoyao’s grandfather grabbed down with his hands, five holes appeared in the Netherwold Race expert’s skull. Then, he pried the head open with a bang.

“Ah…” The Netherworld Race expert cried in misery. He had experienced all kinds of winds and waves and had taken part in the group assault against Yaoyao’s father, bringing about the fall of the youngest heaven-illuminator in history.

Now, he was suffering greatly and on the verge of destruction.

His spirit had suffered grave injuries. The hairy, bloody hand that had pried open his skull was tearing his spirit, in a bid to destroy him entirely.

“No!” Struggling, he roared toward the depths of the cosmos. He was sending a message because he wanted to live and not die.

Suddenly sensing something, he shouted, “Great Deity, since you’ve already come, why did you not take action to save me!?”

On Earth, Chu Feng could see this lagging scene via the photon computer and felt his heart almost jumping out of his throat. The time limit had passed, but Yaoyao’s grandfather still wasn’t willing to return!

In the starry skies, a figure surrounded in light landed slowly, his massive body causing the stars to tremble. His eyes were a resplendent golden color, almost like two eternal suns.

This was the Deity Race’s old ancestor, known as the Great Deity. His strength was absolutely unfathomable!

“My son, you can blame me…” At his moment, Yaoyao’s grandfather was crying tears of blood. At the same time, he was emitting a ruthless emotional fluctuation—he had lost control.

That was because he hadn’t returned after the time was up!

“I’ll avenge you all…” He roared at the sky. His hair danced wildly in the wind and his eyes flowed with tears of blood. Afterward, he swung the Netherworld Race expert like a lance and charged at the Great Deity.

“Kill!” Yaoyao’s grandfather roared. He was filled with great killing intent, pouring out the boundless pain he had suffered since ancient times. He was intent on killing the Great Deity.

Even though he was about to lose his sanity entirely, he would still depend on his instincts to destroy this executioner who had killed his son.
