Chapter 534: Chapter 533: You’re in My Way Too

"ROAR!!"

An excited, long roar carrying ferocious Evil Qi swept out like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, even the void rippled, and heaven and earth trembled in fear!

The expressions on Qin Ya, Mo Bokong, and the others turned grim.

They knew that if they were to face such a terrifying Evil Spirit, their chances of survival would be slim.

However, when that immense wave of Evil Qi spread to within a hundred zhang of the Meiying Venerable, it was shattered by an invisible force. Then, an indifferent voice suddenly rang out, "You just got out, and you’re already so noisy... How utterly annoying."

The moment her words fell, the Evil Spirit’s roar ceased. Its body trembled uncontrollably, and the Flame surrounding it flickered as if in fear. It actually turned around in a hurry and scrambled on all fours toward the black hole in the vortex, as if trying to escape!

A single sentence had made a thousand-zhang-tall monster turn and flee!

The might of a Venerable was truly terrifying!

Before the crowd’s shock could dissipate, the Meiying Venerable, seated on her throne in a bewitching red robe, slowly extended a jade-like hand and clenched her five fingers!

BOOM! The fleeing Evil Spirit seemed to sense something. Its cavernous mouth opened and closed, letting out continuous roars of terror. The Flame in its eyes flickered like a candle in the wind, unstable and on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

BOOM...

The Evil Spirit’s somewhat illusory body suddenly swelled up. Streaks of ferocious Evil Qi escaped from its form before it abruptly exploded, turning into dust and smoke.

This Evil Spirit, whose strength surpassed even an Era-Defining King, was completely helpless in the hands of the Meiying Venerable. And she had done it all while simply remaining seated.

For a moment, countless people gazed at the Venerable high in the sky, their eyes glinting as they recalled the Meiying Venerable’s iron-fisted methods from a century ago.

"I remember that besides the two old-guard Noble Families, Sima and Dongmen, there used to be another one in Meiying Main City. But the Venerable later wiped them out."

"I remember that too. At that time, the Venerable had just taken charge of Meiying County and assumed the title from the previous Venerable. But that old Noble Family refused to submit, which is why they were annihilated."

"Tsk, tsk. Don’t be fooled just because our Venerable is a woman. When she gets ruthless, even the most valiant of men would break out in a cold sweat. It’s terrifying."

Qin Ya’s eyes flickered, revealing a trace of burning fervor.

’A Venerable... so this is a Venerable!’

At this moment, countless Evil Spirits surged out from the vortex like a torrent, and a sky-blotting, frenzied Evil Qi instantly permeated the void.

"It seems the entrance to the Slaughter Ruins opened right in an Evil Spirit Tribe this time."

Gazing at the endless Evil Spirits, the Meiying Venerable slowly stood up. Without turning her head, she said to Jii Xingyue at her side, "I’ll leave the rest to you."

"As you command," Jii Xingyue replied, kneeling on one knee in the void.

Then, the Meiying Venerable stepped onto the void and slowly walked toward the vortex.

All alone, she walked among a sea of Evil Spirits.

Wherever she passed, the countless Evil Spirits dissipated with miserable howls.

"It would be a shame to waste so much Evil Qi."

The Meiying Venerable muttered to herself and then gently tossed out a fist-sized Iron Seal. This Iron Seal was largely identical to the Devouring Evil Seal that Qin Ya and the others held, but it was carved with mysterious, blood-colored patterns.

After the Iron Seal appeared in the void, the Evil Qi from the dead Evil Spirits instantly transformed into streams of grayish-white evil mist and was sucked into it. The Meiying Venerable then retrieved the Iron Seal and transformed into a stream of Flowing Light, stepping into the black hole.

Seeing this, Qin Ya and the others also boarded their airships and flew toward the vortex.

"ROAR..."

Tens of thousands of Evil Spirits poured out of the vortex. These Evil Spirits were not as massive as the first one, at most a dozen or so zhang tall. Their strengths varied, with the strongest comparable to a King and the weakest not even having reached the Extraordinary realm.

Dozens of airships plunged into their midst like tigers into a flock of sheep. Each unleashed their abilities, and countless bursts of energy exploded into the horde of Evil Spirits, causing massive damage. At the same time, they controlled their Devouring Evil Seals to absorb the endless Evil Qi.

"KILL!!"

From within the crowd, Dongmen Gu let out a cold shout. Divine Light flowed around him, forming a massive, invisible net that enveloped all the Evil Spirits within a thousand zhang ahead. With a clench of his five fingers, hundreds of Evil Spirits dissipated, turning into Evil Qi that was absorbed by the Devouring Evil Seal floating above his head, which then began to emit a faint, dark glow!

Suddenly, his gaze swept over to Qin Ya, who was also slaughtering Evil Spirits not far away. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. In the next moment, his figure moved, flying toward Qin Ya as he condensed a majestic Qi Force in his palm, layered and stacked, before suddenly striking out!

The Palm Seal formed from Divine Light was immensely powerful. Wherever it passed, Evil Spirits died howling in misery. And Qin Ya happened to be right in the attack’s path. Many of the people nearby saw this and understood what was happening.

’This Dongmen Gu really can’t wait!’

"Hmph."

Qin Ya snorted coldly as a monstrous Qi of Destruction erupted from his body. He raised a palm to the sky, condensing a hundred-zhang Palm Seal that seemed to contain the power to shatter heaven and earth!

He struck out with the palm. The two powerful energies collided, kicking up a violent storm. The surrounding Evil Spirits were caught in the blast and were blown to pieces.

"What’s the matter? Couldn’t wait to make a move on me?"

Qin Ya’s white robes whipped about in the strong wind, his black hair flying. A faint smile played on his lips, revealing a look of disdainful pride.

Dongmen Gu glanced up at Jii Xingyue high in the sky. Seeing that she was also looking their way, his heart skipped a beat. He then said indifferently to Qin Ya, "Make a move on you? I was just hunting Evil Spirits. You were in my way."

"In the way? Then I’m terribly sorry." An icy glint flickered in Qin Ya’s eyes. Immediately after, an infinite Qi of Destruction erupted from his body. He raised a single hand to the sky, and waves of tide-like Primordial Qi surged, stirring up a tempest in the void.

"Destruction... Dharma Aspect!!"

A hundred-zhang-tall Dharma Aspect condensed as the Qi of Destruction spread out like a raging storm. The surrounding Evil Spirits shrieked as if they had met their natural predator. The grayish-white Flame in their eyes flickered wildly, revealing a hint of terror!

The condensed Dharma Aspect seemed powerful enough to shake heaven and earth!

The Qi of Destruction rampaged, and the Evil Spirits within a thousand zhang vanished, transforming into streams of Evil Qi. Qin Ya held his Devouring Evil Seal and absorbed it all.

"Profound Technique... Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery!"

The Seventh-Grade Profound Technique was revealed once more, executed by the Dharma Aspect. In an instant, the winds surged and black mist roiled. A boundless Qi of Destruction shot toward the heavens, and the void rippled as if struck by a terrifyingly powerful Vibration.

Suddenly, a Palm Seal condensed and blasted forward!

Its target... Dongmen Gu!

"You bastard."

Dongmen Gu gritted his teeth, an iceberg-like chill erupting from his eyes. He let out a low shout as Divine Light bloomed and condensed in his palm. As he slowly raised it, the void began to vibrate, as if his hand contained immeasurable power.

He blasted out with the same palm strike once again.

The void behind Dongmen Gu trembled violently, and the Treasure Robe made of special materials on his body split open with cracks. His pupils shrank, and he once again channeled his True Essence like a tidal wave, only then managing to slowly neutralize the Palm Seal.

But before he could even show a hint of triumph, a figure flew toward him in an instant.

THWACK! A massive force slammed into his abdomen, the pain so intense his eyes bulged, revealing bloodshot veins. His stomach churned, and he spat out bitter bile.

Then, his body was kicked away, flying over a hundred zhang.

"You’re in my way, too."
