Chapter 557 - 556: Slay Them All

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Slay Them All

Yi Tianyun took the lead, slaughtering his way through the enemy ranks without answering a single word from them. Ren Liangchen and the others were also in a frenzy of slaughter, never stopping as they carved a path forward.

With Sacred Artifacts in hand, they could easily deal with even numerous Core Formation Stage experts. It was like chopping melons and cutting vegetables—effortless.

"Tenfold Experience Card, use!"

"Fiftyfold Experience Card, use!"

He used one Experience Card after another. He used up the ones he had on him, and when he ran out, he bought more from the shop. With over a thousand Cultivators gathered here, how could he possibly miss this opportunity?

After activating them, his experience points soared wildly. Even though the Core Formation cultivators only gave a few million EXP each under the effect of so many Experience Cards, every little bit added up.

Besides, there were also quite a few Void Spirit Stage experts here, and killing them yielded a good amount of experience as well.

For a time, the area was filled with unending screams. Some tried to flee, wanting to escape. They were completely unable to resist; what they faced was a one-sided slaughter, with no way to fight back.

Just as they were about to escape, a figure suddenly blocked their path—it was Yi Tianyun! They stared at him in shock as if they had seen a ghost. They had no idea when he had gotten in front of them. Wasn’t he just slaughtering other Cultivators at the edge of the fray?

When they turned their heads to look back, they saw that Yi Tianyun was still there, slaughtering madly. In fact, they saw even more of him—a total of four Yi Tianyuns!

In a situation like this, Yi Tianyun had to use his clones. Otherwise, many would surely escape. The Treasure Ship was quite large; if they hid in a corner and fled when he wasn’t looking, they could easily get away.

That was why as soon as he charged in, he had immediately deployed his clones to continue the frenzied slaughter!

With seven people in total, they quickly annihilated the Cultivators, who screamed and cried for their parents. But it was useless. No one was coming to save them.

No one had expected someone to suddenly intercept them. This was the Treasure Ship of the renowned Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom; to intercept it was to show complete disrespect to the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom. Unfortunately for them, there were indeed people who didn’t give a damn about the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom’s prestige. Yi Tianyun was one, and the Phoenix Race was another!

When a Core Formation Stage expert managed to escape and fly away, before they could get far, a flash of fire suddenly enveloped the one who had slipped through the net, burning them to ashes.

This flash of fire caught Yi Tianyun’s attention, and a slight smile touched the corners of his mouth. It was clear the Phoenix Race was present. When he had made his move, they had begun helping to eliminate any who slipped through the net.

They didn’t dare to openly clash with the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, but surprise attacks were another matter. They intercepted many who tried to escape, ensuring not a single one got away!

Although Yi Tianyun had said he didn’t need help, the Phoenix Race had still sent people to assist in the annihilation. They weren’t just doing it for Yi Tianyun, but for themselves as well.

The Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom had to be eradicated. If they didn’t destroy the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom, they feared they would be the ones to die.

BOOM!

Finally, with a tremendous explosion, flames swiftly engulfed the entire Treasure Ship, setting it ablaze in the sky like a giant fireball. Soon, this massive fireball plummeted to the ground. With a deafening CRASH, it smashed a huge crater into the earth.

The Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom’s Treasure Ship was thus destroyed. All one thousand-plus Cultivators aboard had been slaughtered, with not a single one left alive!

The other Cultivators passing by were scared out of their wits and didn’t dare to come any closer. Those who had been flying toward the Mortal Realm were so frightened they sped up, not daring to linger for even a moment.

They wondered if some bloodthirsty maniac had appeared. Why else would someone charge in and start a mad slaughter? Regardless of whether it had anything to do with them, they all fled to the side, watching the scene in horror.

"HUFF... HUFF... Boss, are there any more?" The three of them were drenched in sweat, but even more so in blood—whether it was their own or someone else’s, they couldn’t tell.

"That’s enough. Let’s head back," Yi Tianyun said, tossing three bottles of Elixir Pills to them. They accepted them without ceremony and popped the pills into their mouths.

His hands were stained with blood, but Yi Tianyun had never claimed he wasn’t a butcher. He had killed them, and that was that. There was nothing to argue about.

He then led them into the black clouds, and they quickly vanished. This prompted many of the Cultivators who had been hiding nearby to fly back over.

"Just who are those people? They even dared to intercept a Treasure Ship from the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom! That’s terrifying..."

"I don’t know, but it’s a good thing that someone is putting the Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom in its place! The Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom is despicable. Not long ago, a city near us was completely plundered by their forces. They burned, killed, and looted—they’re capable of any evil!"

"Shh, not so loud! Let’s get out of here, or we’ll be the next to suffer!"

They didn’t dare continue their discussion. Their options were to leave or to follow the others into the passage. However, most of them no longer dared to enter the passage. It led to the Mortal Realm, and if they ran into Yi Tianyun’s group, heaven knows if they would be killed too.

Thus, they all scattered, spreading the news of what had happened. The Celestial Nether Divine Kingdom would surely lose a great deal of face.

...

After flying inside with his companions, Yi Tianyun summoned the Ice Phoenix and gestured for them to climb on. With a cry, the Ice Phoenix shot swiftly toward the Thundercloud above. Sensing their presence, the surrounding lightning immediately struck at them. The thick bolts of Divine Thunder made them jump in fright.

At that moment, the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl appeared in his hand. It was a Treasure he had obtained before. As soon as he took it out, it began to rapidly absorb the surrounding lightning, not letting a single spark escape.

No matter how much lightning came, the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl easily absorbed it. However, the item did have a storage limit, but it hadn’t been reached yet.

"What a miraculous Treasure Pearl..." they exclaimed in amazement. No matter how powerful the surrounding Divine Thunder was, it was all absorbed by the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl.

"Hold on tight. We’re about to speed up and head back..."

Yi Tianyun’s expression was grim. The Spirit King Stage expert wasn’t here, which meant they had likely already passed through, or perhaps they had died in the passage.

’Regardless, I have to get back to the Celestial Cloud Mansion as quickly as possible in case something unexpected has happened.’

A single Spirit King Stage expert could basically steamroll everything—at least in the Mortal Realm.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Lightning converged on them from all sides, but it all targeted Yi Tianyun. After all, his cultivation was the highest, so the lightning bolts striking him were the thickest and most terrifying.

Yi Tianyun looked up. The Combat Power of these bolts of Divine Thunder was over fifty or sixty million. Occasionally, two or three bolts with a Combat Power of eighty or ninety million would strike down in succession. No wonder it was harder for those with higher cultivation to ascend. In contrast, the lightning striking Ren Liangchen and the others was only in the millions, not even reaching the ten-million mark.

The difference between the two was immense. However, all of it was absorbed by the Celestial Thunder Divine Pearl. It seemed there would be no problem passing through here.
