Chapter 470: Working Together Against the Storm

Chapter 470: Working Together Against the Storm

After Xiang Shaoyun started absorbing devilish energy, his entire body had undergone a cleansing. His flesh had grown much tougher, and the awakening of his bloodline had also improved his Nether Soul Domain, turning it from something intangible into something corporeal. His soul had also become incomparably solid, granting him a soul power comparable to a sixth-stage Emperor’s.

When he released his Nether Soul Domain out of his body, not even the fifth-stage Devil Emperor could react before it was trapped inside. The Nether Soul Domain was an independent space where Xiang Shaoyun was the ultimate overlord. Here, he could suppress all opponents. The fifth-stage Devil Emperor devil wind beast could feel its very bloodline being suppressed. Like a peasant meeting his king, fear and an urge to submit filled its heart.

Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyi took the chance to quickly distance themselves from the Devil Emperor.

“Imperial Nether Prison!” Xiang Shaoyun’s voice reverberated in the space.

A total of 36 chains shot out from multiple directions and wrapped around the Devil Emperor. The Devil Emperor was fast, but it had no idea what this space was. It tried to leave, but it crashed into some sort of barrier that prevented any sort of escape. Soon, the 36 chains completely tied it up.

Both Yu Caidie and Yu Ziyi cried out in alarm, “Nether Soul Domain!”

They were both geniuses from an ancient clan. People like them were generally well-learned and were able to immediately recognize this space. After tying up the Devil Emperor with the chains, Xiang Shaoyun heard their shout. As a response, he expelled both of them from the space without any hesitation. This was his secret, and he had no intention to reveal everything to them. And since he was the space’s master, neither of the two could do anything when they were expelled.

“That kid is a member of the Imperial Nether Clan! How is that possible?” Yu Ziyi exclaimed in alarm after leaving the domain.

Yu Caidie frowned. Imperial Nether Clan? I thought they lived in an extremely dangerous zone in the North Illusionary Sea? Perhaps—  

Yu Caidie couldn’t even finish her thought when she saw Yu Ziyi charge toward the storm. She was thus forced to stop thinking and rushed toward the storm as well. Apart from the two, a few other geniuses were also starting to approach it.

They consisted of Ruo Suifeng, Tang Longfei, Jian Chen, Shi Hai, Zuo Zhentian, Shen Binshao, and Bai Qi. Long Yunfei, Di Tong, Can Wunian, and the other geniuses were a little farther behind them.

“Haha! The yin devil wind will be mine!” Ruo Suifeng was the first to arrive. Roaring with laughter, he stepped into the storm. Its power was comparable to the attack of a top-tier Emperor. Even an Emperor would be directly torn apart the moment he stepped inside like that. But Ruo Suifeng showed no fear.

His fear was not unfounded, as an Ashwind Armor appeared around his body as he stepped into the storm. The armor constantly emitted the power of wind, forming an armor of wind around him. It was worth noting that this armor’s grade was beyond the emperor grade. That was the source of his confidence to directly step into the storm. Even so, the moment he took his first step, he was sent flying away.

Sphhlt!

Even with a sovereign armor, Ruo Suifeng still failed to withstand the storm’s power. His entire body was bloodied, and if it wasn’t for his sovereign armor, he would have been reduced to a pile of mincemeat.

“You overestimate yourself. You think just because you cultivate the power of wind, you can easily penetrate the storm and get the yin devil wind?” Zuo Zhentian sneered.

A purple lightning stone appeared in his hand. He then summoned tens of lightning bolts from the sky and sent them blasting toward the storm. The dreadful lighting bolts bombarded the storm, somewhat reducing its power.

When Tang Longfei saw the purple stone Zuo Zhentian was holding, he exclaimed, “A lightning summoning stone! No wonder he’s so confident!”

The lightning summoning stone was a unique material capable of increasing one’s capability to summon lightning bolts. Zuo Zhentian was a lightning cultivator. With a lightning summoning stone in hand, he could summon far more lightning bolts than he usually could. That was the source of his confidence. The rain of lightning was powerful enough to harm even fourth-stage Emperors, but it still failed to completely destroy the storm. His attempt had failed.

Zuo Zhentian finally stopped and looked at Yu Ziyi with a depressed expression. “Sister Ziyi, I’ve already tried my best. I can’t do anything against the storm.”

Their failures were understandable. The storm possessed the power of a top Emperor. It did not seem likely that some Kings would be able to easily defeat it. Tang Longfei, Huang Binshao, Jian Chen, and the others also tried to destroy the storm, but none succeeded.

The devil wind beasts no longer rushed the humans. They all cultivated the power of wind and knew very well just how powerful this storm was. Even they would be torn into pieces if they were caught in it. They stood far away and watched on as the humans tried damaging the storm, their eyes cold and indifferent. They firmly believed things would not end well for these humans.

“Sister Die, since none of us can scatter the storm, should we work together? So long as we break it, the yin devil wind will appear. We can then fight over it,” suggested Yu Ziyi. She was behaving as if she had not at all sneak attacked Yu Caidie earlier.

Yu Caidie did not seem surprised, as if she was already used to this. After a slight hesitation, she agreed, “Ok, let’s work together.”

The others did not object. Yu Caidie had Jian Chen, Tang Longfei, Shi Hai, Long Yunfei, Di Tong, and Can Wunian by his side. Due to his injuries, Ruo Suifeng had been disregarded. Huo Xudong did not join in, while Xiang Shaoyun was still in his Nether Soul Domain.

Yu Ziyi had more people on her side. She had Zuo Zhentian, Huang Binshao, Bai Qi, and a few others, a total of 11 people including herself in her group. All 18 of them attacked together, sending a barrage of attacks toward the storm, attempting to scatter it.

Rumble! Rumble!

Numerous explosions of different colors erupted, presenting a dreadful sight. Each of these attacks was strong enough to harm even an Emperor. With all of them working together, they were powerful enough to actually put up a fight against the storm. Alas, putting up a fight was as far as they got. After their repeated attacks, the storm did not scatter like they had hoped to happen. Instead, it started moving.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Like it had been angered, the storm started advancing toward the geniuses, greatly frightening them. Without any hesitation, they started fleeing with their full strength. It was at this moment that Xiang Shaoyun finally came out of his Nether Soul Domain, appearing right in the path of the advancing storm. Before he could react, the storm swallowed him.
