Fighting the Masked Man

Crashed!

This was not an adjective, but a true cataclysmic event. The Black Sky Continent, comparable to a supercontinent, was instantly shattered into pieces by this attack. Terrifying giant cracks tore open the earth, exposing the spiritual veins and the earth's core.

On the ground, countless living beings turned into blood mist at this moment, and all their souls were absorbed by the Nether Tower that was suspended in mid-air, without wasting a single soul.

Simultaneously.

An aura of world destruction enveloped the entire continent, announcing that this continent had entered the countdown to its demise.

"Kacha!"

The sacred artifact Black Heaven Ancient Realm, which was suspended in the center of the clan's protection, also shattered under this attack. The smooth mirror surface, which had only been repaired a few years ago, was covered with cracks, as if it had been peeled away in pieces. It seemed that it would be completely shattered with just a little force.

The Heavenly Sovereigns within the clan's protective formation were all pale-faced, spitting blood, and their auras instantly weakened.

Both Black Sky and Black Earth watched in despair as the demonic hand slowly withdrew. Although the clan's protective formation had withstood the attack, it was nearing its limit and could not withstand another blow. Moreover, as the Black Sky Continent's ley lines were shattered, the support points of the clan's protective formation also disappeared. With just these people, it was impossible for them to maintain the formation for much longer.

The Black Heaven Ancient Clan is like the Black Heaven Ancient Realm on the verge of collapse, beyond saving.

"Why is this happening?!" Hei Tian let out a desperate roar, looking at the hordes of demons swarming out of the spatial rift. His mentality had completely collapsed. He couldn't understand why the Maha Ancient Clan would cooperate with the extraterrestrial evil race. Could it be that if the Great Thousand World were to disappear, the Maha Ancient Clan would benefit from it?

The Maha Ancient Clan has truly gone mad, abandoning their status as one of the Five Ancient Clans to align themselves with the evil races from beyond the realm!

No one will answer Heitian's question. This is a war of annihilation. Not only will the Heitian Ancient Clan be wiped out, but the entire Heitian Continent will be destroyed. Not a single living being will escape. This place will be completely erased from the Great Thousand World!
"boom!"

As the Evil Emperor withdrew his demonic claws, Jiang Ya took the initiative to strike. The ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic shadow clenched its fists and slammed them towards the Black Heaven Ancient Clan's protective formation. The eerie purple light enveloped its fists, carrying an indescribable ferocity, and it struck the formation with lightning speed, like a shooting star.

Each of those fist beams could easily inflict severe injuries on a Saint-level early stage expert, demonstrating their power.

The space along the way was constantly crushed, turning into chaotic spatial fragments that raged outwards.

"Open it for me!"

As the offensive ended, Jiang Ya looked at the clan's protective formation, which was still struggling to hold on. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, and he roared. In the next instant, he suddenly spread his palm, and his black and purple eyes were aimed at the formation. Evil energy and spiritual power intertwined within it, and the two different forces began to collide, creating an incomparably terrifying power. This caused his arm to mutate. The flesh and blood of his arm began to swell and writhe. In just a few breaths, it transformed into a demonic arm covered with purple and black patterns, and its aura surged to an unbelievable level.

Immediately afterwards, he punched the protective formation of the clan. This blow completely shattered the Black Heaven Ancient Realm, which was on the verge of collapse. At the same time, it caused the Black Heaven Ancient Clan's protective formation to flicker and collapse in many places, clearly unable to continue to hold on.

"Hehehe, let's join the fray!" The demons let out a strange laugh upon seeing this scene, and surged into the great formation through the broken corner, beginning an indiscriminate bloody slaughter. The flesh and soul of the strong were a great tonic for them.

Such a grand feast has not been seen for a long time!
Especially during the tens of thousands of years of stalemate with the Great Thousand Worlds, the extraterrestrial evil races have long been eager for more!

As the protective formation was torn open, Jiang Ya instantly returned to human form, but his aura weakened considerably. Clearly, the simultaneous use of spiritual power and evil energy was a forbidden technique for him, placing a heavy burden on him and making it impossible to maintain for long.

"It seems the outcome is decided!" Maha Tian said slowly as he looked at the scene. His face was terribly cold, and the evil aura in his eyes grew stronger and stronger, even revealing a few bloodthirsty scarlet rays. Clearly, the influence of evil on him was gradually deepening over time.

The power of evil energy is not something that just anyone can control, especially someone like Maha Tian who actively integrated it into his soul. In addition, he had been brutally beaten by the Heavenly Emperor and his disciples, which shattered his Dao heart. It was only a matter of time before his mind was affected by evil energy.

"Not necessarily!" Jiang Ya narrowed his eyes, a sinister purple light flashing within them. "The original avatar of the Black Heaven Ancient Clan has been born!"

Almost the instant his words fell, a colossal Dharma image tens of thousands of feet tall emerged from the darkness, its empty and indifferent eyes staring at the extraterrestrial evil race. Its body was covered with mysterious moonlight patterns, these patterns seemed to have been born from heaven and earth. As the moonlight patterns disappeared, this colossal Dharma image tens of thousands of feet tall suddenly vanished from its original spot.

Reappearing, they were now among the demons. As the endless moonlight illuminated the darkness, they instantly slaughtered all the extraterrestrial evil races around them. Only the two who had stepped into the Heavenly Demon Emperor realm withstood this attack, but their expressions were rather grim, clearly having tasted the terrifying power of the Primal Dharma Body.

That was a kind of rule-based power that was almost unreasonable!

"Space and light? They do fit quite well with the innate spiritual patterns of the Eternal Immortal Body..." The Underworld Lord in the Underworld Tower looked at the Night God Ancient Body, which was like a god in the clan protection formation below, and uttered a whisper. The original Dharma Body was transformed from the remains of the innate Holy Spirit. It inherently possessed a certain power in the world, just like a creature derived from the rules of the world. It did not need to cultivate and inherently contained incomparably terrifying power.

"boom!"

Within the clan-protecting formation, several Heavenly Demon Emperors locked onto the Night God Ancient Body and attacked it one after another, but it instantly dodged them. As if it had no physical form, it instantly merged into the darkness and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already in another space, and every time it attacked, a large number of extraterrestrial evil races would die.

That method is almost unsolvable, ignoring any spatial blocking techniques!
"Heaven will not forsake our Black Sky Ancient Clan!" Black Sky and Black Earth were overjoyed to see the Night God Ancient Body displaying its divine power. The former even shouted to the sky, "With the Night God Ancient Body, we can send a portion of our clansmen away. As long as the Night God Ancient Body is still here, the Black Sky Ancient Clan will not perish!"
As the words fell, Heitian and Heidi began to fight desperately, even burning their own essence, and even awakening the remnant soul of a sleeping ancestor. At this critical moment of life and death, there was no need to hold back anymore. Even if it cost them everything, they had to send the Night God Ancient Body and some of their clansmen out.

Furthermore… the collusion between the Maha Ancient Clan and the extraterrestrial evil races must be exposed to the public! “Please, Ancestor, revive and protect my clan!” Heitian opened the ancestral land, awakening the ancestor who had been sleeping for tens of thousands of years. The ancestor was the former controller of the Night God Ancient Body. In the ancient war, he dragged his remnant soul back to the clan and was nurtured by the Heitian Ancient Clan until now. This was the last resort of the Heitian Ancient Clan.

"Buzz!"

The remnant soul of the Black Heaven Ancestor awakened, his eyes filled with grief and indignation as he looked at the Black Heaven Ancient Clan who had been slaughtered. Then, without saying a word, he burned his own remnant soul, which transformed into a ray of light and entered the Night God Ancient Body. Using his own remnant soul as fuel, he briefly took control of the Night God Ancient Body and unleashed its power to the extreme!

"Extraterrestrial evil race!" The empty eyes of the Night God Ancient Body regained some intelligence, and a low roar filled with endless killing intent came from its body. It was the last voice of the remnant soul of the Black Heaven Ancestor.

With the remnant soul gaining control, the moonlit spiritual patterns around the Night God's body became even more dazzling, and his terrifying aura soared directly to the limit of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme, approaching an even higher level. He clenched his fist, and a long spear condensed from cold moonlight appeared in his palm.

Wherever the spear's light passed, no one could stop it. Even the Heavenly Demon Emperor would be severely injured and bleed profusely, unable to halt its advance!
With that speed comparable to teleportation, no one could stop him.

"Roar!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Ya, who was standing in mid-air, made his move again. The spiritual light and evil energy around him collided once more. At the cost of burning his own life, he raised his power to the extreme, causing his body to continuously expand and explode. Countless pieces of flesh and blood wriggled and twisted in a ferocious manner, seemingly forcibly combining the power of spiritual energy and evil energy.

Within a dozen breaths, this terrifying anomaly ceased, and Jiang Ya gained incomparably terrifying power, transforming into a monster. The monster was several feet tall, its body like parched earth, riddled with cracks, its eyes blackish-purple, and strange patterns covering its entire body. These patterns shimmered with the luster of spiritual power, and also carried the darkness of extraterrestrial evil energy.

As the two interacted, a destructive wave emanated from his body.

The fluctuation instantly attracted the attention of the Black Heaven Ancestor, and even the Night God Ancient Body showed a hint of astonishment in its eyes. It seemed that no one had expected that someone could simultaneously possess spiritual power and evil energy, and even merge the two powers. Such a freak had never been seen in his era.

Just as he was considering whether to rush over and kill them, he heard Heitian's roar: "Ancestor, don't get entangled with them. Escort the clansmen away. Only the Night God Ancient Body can break through the great formation outside!"

Upon hearing this, the Black Heaven Ancestor remained silent for a moment before suppressing his urge to kill Jiang Ya. He then manipulated the Night God Ancient Body to protect his clansmen. With the spatial power of the Night God Ancient Body, breaking through the great formation's blockade would not be difficult. At worst, he could burn a portion of the Night God Ancient Body's essence to draw upon the power of the Great Thousand Worlds for support!
"Wow~"

Just then, a piercing metallic sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth. A jet-black soul lock shot out from the Nether Tower, instantly locking the Night God Ancient Body. Even though the Night God Ancient Body was illusory, it still could not break free from the lock's clasp. This chain tightly bound the remnant soul of the Black Heaven Ancestor.

A moment later, more than a dozen soul locks burst forth, binding the Night God Ancient Body tightly to the spot.

At the same time, the figure of the Underworld Lord emerged from the Underworld Tower, his body exuding an incomparably terrifying pressure. He indifferently stared at the Ancient Body of the Night God and uttered a detached evaluation: "If you still had a physical body, I really wouldn't be able to do anything to you for a while. But now you only have a remnant soul left, yet you still dare to try to control the Ancient Body of the Night God. How absurd!"

"Since it is a remnant soul, it should enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

The Underworld Lord slowly raised his hand, and as he clenched his fist, the six vortexes of reincarnation appeared around the Night God's ancient body, beginning to devour the remnant soul power of the Black Heaven Ancestor. With the blessing of the faith power of billions of living beings, he now had more and more control over the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If he were not worried about provoking the resistance of the Great Thousand Worlds' will, he would even intend to seize this authority from the Great Thousand Worlds!

"Who...who are you?!" The remnant soul of the Black Heaven Ancestor was forcibly extracted, but there was no anger in his eyes, only confusion. Why would there be such a powerful figure among the extraterrestrial evil race? This aura had already surpassed the limit of the Heavenly Demon Emperor and reached another level.

Unfortunately, no one answered this question for him. His remnant soul was forcibly pulled into the Six Paths of Reincarnation by the Soul Lock. He had no ability to resist at all, and could not even burn himself. He was suppressed by the Soul Lock formed by the power of faith.

How can the power of a remnant soul possibly contend with the will of all living beings!

That's the power of faith from millions of fanatical believers!
"Wow!"

The Nether Tower descended from the void, enveloping the ancient body of the Night God and suppressing it with the power of faith within. The Nether Tower itself contained the true spirits of countless beings, whose power of faith was formed from a portion of the will of the Great Thousand Worlds, which could suppress the original Dharma Body to some extent.

Having done all this, the Underworld Lord looked at the others and said indifferently, "You are all too slow!"

Upon hearing this, the demons shuddered and immediately pounced on the creatures of the Black Sky Ancient Clan. Seeing this, the desperate Jiang Ya gritted his teeth and charged directly at Black Sky and Black Earth, intending to kill them both!
The Underworld Lord remained indifferent to this, for he had already achieved his goal.

"Lord of the Underworld, you promised me your original Dharma body!" Maha Tian appeared before Lord of the Underworld at this moment. He gritted his teeth and withstood the terrifying pressure, and boldly asked for it.

"The original Dharma body is extremely resistant to the power of the extraterrestrial evil race. After I refine it, I will bestow it upon you... Rest assured, I will not break my promise to you!" The Underworld Lord looked at Maha Tian and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Maha Tian felt a sense of relief. He had been prepared for the Underworld Lord to break his promise, but now that he had received a clear answer, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. As long as he obtained the Primal Dharma Body, his strength would increase rapidly, enough to contend with the late stage of the Saint-grade Heavenly Supreme!
If we sacrifice some more living beings, we might be able to reach a higher level and seek revenge against the Heavenly Emperor!
At this moment, Maha Tian's heart was filled with wild ambitions, which were a ridiculous idea born of blind ignorance.

Compared to Mohe Tian's fantasies, Yao Yan's idea was very simple: he needed a pawn, and Mohe Tian was an excellent choice. The source of the evil energy in the other party's body originally came from him, and with the addition of the Night God Ancient Body that Yao Yan had enhanced, he would be able to completely become his puppet. Once his strength increased, he could use Mohe Tian and the Mohe Ancient Clan to release the Heavenly Evil God!
If the difficulty isn't increased, how can the world be filled with despair? Without despair, how can one gather all the power of faith into oneself, and how can one devour the very essence of the world?

Perhaps by devouring the Heavenly Evil God, his own strength can be further enhanced!
But now that he'd chosen to do it, Yao Yan naturally had to make all the necessary preparations and maximize his chances of success! (End of Chapter)
