Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

#436 - Seven Steps of the Goddess

On the battlefield outside the city, where corpses were piled hundreds of meters high, Jun Wuxie was extremely weak, needing to lean on his battle spear just to stand.

A hundred high-level Soul Hunters were closing in!

On the city walls, while everyone was focused on the events outside, the matriarch of the Enchanting Eye Clan and the master of the Frozen Cloud Tower suddenly went insane, frantically attacking the barrier.

People were alarmed.

The people from Jupao House, Qizhen Pavilion, Tianjing Tower, and the Hunter Guild were all stunned.

The Sacred Realm experts from the Enchanting Eye Clan and the Frozen Cloud Tower looked grim, stepping forward to forcibly restrain them with absolute power.

"Let me go!"

Yan Qingcheng and Mu Xuelan shouted in unison, struggling desperately.

"Matriarch!"

"Master!"

"Have you lost your minds?"

"Do you know what you're doing?"

The two clans' Sacred Realm elders sternly rebuked.

They were Hidden Elders, holding extremely high status and authority within their sects, with the power to stop the matriarch and master from making mistakes.

"Jun Wuxie cannot die! We must save him no matter what! Join me in breaking the barrier!"

Yan Qingcheng said to the two Sacred Realm experts of her clan.

"Impossible! Even if we could break the barrier, and even if there were no barrier, we still cannot fight the Soul Hunter Palace to the death for him! Matriarch, we will report your actions to the Guardians! Disregarding the survival of the clan, what qualifications do you have to be the matriarch?"

Their words were harsh, filled with intense anger.

"Master, regarding this matter, you must provide the Guardians with a reasonable explanation upon our return!"

The Sacred Realm experts from the Frozen Cloud Tower also looked grim.

They cultivated the 【Ice Muscle Jade Bone Art】, their hearts like still water, pure and devoid of desire.

As the master, Mu Xuelan's state of mind was undoubtedly exceptional.

However, her actions today completely overturned their perception of her, actually doing something so outrageous!

On the distant mountains, the higher-ups from Sacred Sect and Kaitian Sword Sect, witnessing the scene on the city walls, revealed strange expressions.

… …

Outside the city, on the battlefield.

The hundred Soul Hunters were only a few hundred meters away from Jun Wuxie.

However, they still did not swing the scythes in their hands.

They were simply approaching with extreme caution, their eyes fixed on him and Lan Lan.

Clearly, the Soul Hunters were not only wary of him but also of the little creature that had suddenly appeared beside him.

Jun Wuxie gripped Long Yin tightly in one hand, his chest heaving, head slightly lowered, but a cruel smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

"Woof woof!"

Lan Lan's sad fur stood on end, emitting fierce warning sounds towards the approaching Soul Hunters, the single horn on its forehead glowing with a faint blue light.

The Soul Hunters got closer and closer, gradually reaching a distance of about a hundred meters from Jun Wuxie.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie suddenly raised his head.

The hundred Soul Hunters felt a sudden tightness in their hearts, involuntarily stopping in unison.

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing their subconscious actions, Jun Wuxie laughed wildly towards the sky.

That laughter, filled with mockery, made the Soul Hunters' expressions extremely gloomy.

They were actually stopped by an extremely weak target, a single raised head causing them to halt.

Their own subconscious reaction made them feel ashamed and enraged!

"Damn it!"

Several Soul Hunters shouted angrily and charged forward.

Rumble!

In the sky, a sudden explosion rang out, like rolling thunder.

The sound was mixed with the power of runes, instantly transmitting from the distant sky to the battlefield.

The Soul Hunters suddenly raised their heads to look.

A streak of silver light cut through the sky, as fast as the aurora!

With a bang, it shot straight at the several Soul Hunters who were charging towards Jun Wuxie.

The sudden change caught them off guard, forcing them to retreat abruptly.

Boom!

The silver light landed, blasting hundreds of corpses away.

It was a silver battle spear, stuck in a pile of corpses that had been blasted into a large pit, its entire body flowing with silver light, stirring up gusts of air.

Jun Wuxie's lips trembled slightly.

Since stepping onto this battlefield, a trace of fear appeared in his eyes for the first time.

The moment he saw this silver spear, he knew who had come!

He suddenly raised his head to look.

A moon-white figure flashed several times from the distant sky and arrived nearby.

"Go!"

He roared loudly, using all his strength.

"I won't!"

The moon-white figure landed in front of him, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, hugging him tightly.

"You shouldn't have come back! Why did you come back?!"

Jun Wuxie tried to push her away, but she held on very tightly.

Ji Yinlan stared at him, her red lips trembling slightly, smiling through tears, "I came back to live and die with my man. Don't think about abandoning me. From the moment you publicly gave me the Red Beauty Flower, you have to be responsible for me. No matter where, whether it's the Yellow Springs or the Azure Heavens, you can't abandon me! I won't allow it!"

"Stupid woman! You know that the Soul Hunter Palace has always coveted your soul and origin… …"

"Wuxie, whether it's life or death, I don't care, as long as I have you by my side… …"

"Oh, wonderful, truly wonderful!" The Soul Hunter commander slowly clapped his hands, a satisfied smile appearing at the corner of his lips, "After waiting for so many days, without using my trump card, I've finally lured you back!"

"Tsk tsk, sometimes I really don't understand. You humans are always immersed in love and affection. What's so fun about it? On the verge of death, you still have the mind for romance, insisting on being a pair of doomed lovebirds. Utterly foolish."

The Soul Hunter commander's words caused many people to reveal expressions of shock.

What do you mean by you humans?

"Are you not human?"

Someone on the city walls asked.

"We are believers of the Soul Ancestor, we have already transcended humanity and are far nobler than you humans!"

The Soul Hunter commander said indifferently, his words filled with superiority.

"Originally a group of humans, yet you willingly become rats hiding in the sewers, and still call yourselves noble, forgetting your ancestors and betraying your clan, even refusing to acknowledge your own race. Truly laughable!"

Jun Wuxie mocked.

"Enough nonsense. Since both of you are here, our mission can be completed perfectly this time!" The Soul Hunter commander finished speaking and turned to look at the Black Demon Sect, saying, "You go too, assist my Soul Hunter Palace in hunting their origin and soul!"

The people of the Black Demon Sect nodded, and hundreds of them moved out together, joining the battlefield.

They began chanting the Black Demon incantation.

A summoning array appeared in front of each of them, and terrifying death skeletons crawled out, wielding huge blood-colored axes, approaching Jun Wuxie and Ji Yinlan.

"You recover some strength first, let me handle this!"

Ji Yinlan took out a Greater Revitalizing Pill and stuffed it into Jun Wuxie's mouth, and then, under the gaze of countless eyes, kissed him hard on his blood-stained lips.

She turned around, and her entire temperament changed instantly.

The gentle affection she had when facing Jun Wuxie was gone, replaced by coldness and killing intent.

She was very beautiful, her moon-white dress fluttering, her black hair like ink, her eyebrows like paintings, and her red lips charming.

The silver battle spear was stuck not far in front of her.

But she did not go to retrieve it.

In fact, her strength was not in the spear at all, she cultivated the sword.

The spear was just a weapon she started using when she went to the army, but for some reason, she had never been seen using a sword.

Soul Hunters and Black Demon Sect experts were behind, and the skeleton army was in front, all charging up.

Ji Yinlan's temperament suddenly became a little ethereal, exuding a trace of indescribable majesty.

She rose into the air, and a hundred-foot-tall phantom of a woman appeared behind her, very faint.

But at this moment, the entire world seemed to be collapsing.

As if it could not bear that phantom.

She faced the charging skeleton army, Black Demon Sect experts, and Soul Hunters, and took a step forward.

Heavenly Maiden Seven Absolute Steps!

In an instant, a terrifying scene appeared.

Large swathes of void collapsed, turning into pitch-black holes.

In that black hole, worlds were collapsing, and the sun and moon were falling.

In an instant, the charging skeleton army was completely wiped out, annihilated in that phenomenon.

The Black Demon Sect experts behind were shocked, immediately gathering together, gathering their true energy, and joining forces to resist.

At this time, Ji Yinlan took the second step!

Rumble!

This time, not only were the sun and moon falling, but endless stars were also collapsing, the starry sky was annihilating, the universe was collapsing, order was breaking, and the world's source energy was rushing out.

Of course, this was a phenomenon, not a real scene.

Even so, it stunned everyone who witnessed it.

Several hundred Black Demon Sect experts, the foremost two hundred or so, their defensive measures collapsing layer by layer, their bodies rapidly cracking in terrified screams, exploding into blood and mud.

The remaining one or two hundred Black Demon Sect experts, screaming, tried to escape, but were swallowed by the rapidly crushing phenomenon.

Ah!!

Their screams were shrill and piercing, their bodies breaking apart inch by inch, one after another exploding into blood mist.

Such a sight made the hundred Soul Hunters behind feel terrified.

Boom!

At this time, Ji Yinlan, whose face was pale, took the third step!

The moment her foot landed.

It was as if a primordial universe had instantly shattered, endless cosmic power exploding, impacting forward, and three thousand Great Daos were being wiped out!

What kind of scene was this!

It made the hearts of those who witnessed this tremble!

Those Soul Hunters were instantly swallowed, screaming, their bodies directly turning to ashes, like sand sculptures in the wind, their forms and spirits destroyed, leaving not a trace.

"Damn it!"

The Soul Hunter leader came back to his senses from extreme shock. He swiped his right hand in the air.

Rows of black battle spears lined up.

These black battle spears were engraved with profound runes, exuding an aura that made people's souls want to split.

On the spear shaft, nine stars rose, with forbidden auras flowing!

"Not good! That's a Nine-Star Forbidden Weapon!"

On the city wall, the Holy Sons of several major sects, with their vast knowledge, abruptly narrowed their pupils.

Forbidden weapons were different from regular weapon spirits!

Forbidden weapons had a limited number of uses. Some could only be used once, while others could be used up to three times, after which they would crumble and become useless scrap metal.

However, each strike could unleash the full power corresponding to its star rating!

Ordinary nine-star weapons, unless wielded by experts at least at the half-step Holy Son level, could not unleash their full power.

"To hunt your souls and origins, my Soul Hunting Hall has made ample preparations. Today, you will find it difficult to defy fate!"

The Soul Hunter Commander's voice was chillingly cold as he grabbed a nine-star forbidden weapon spear and hurled it out.

Runes flashed wildly on the spear, unleashing the terrifying power of the Holy Son level.

Its speed exceeded a thousand times the speed of sound!

Such an attack was difficult to dodge, let alone withstand, unless one was at least a half-step Holy Son.

The black forbidden weapon spear shot towards the weakened Jun Wu Xie like a beam of black light.

Jun Wu Xie's body bristled with goosebumps. He wanted to dodge, but before he could react, the spear was already upon him.

He didn't even have time to let Lan Lan deploy the Dragon Scale Shield!

Clang!

Just when he thought he was about to be pierced through.

A moon-white figure stood in front of him.

Accompanied by a piercing metallic tremor.

Ji Yinlan pushed the array diagram forward with both hands, blocking the spear.

She was trembling all over, her face pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.

The spear buzzed and vibrated, piercing through the array diagram bit by bit, advancing forward.

"Lan Lan, Dragon Scale Shield!"

Seeing that Ji Yinlan was about to give out, Jun Wu Xie immediately issued the command to Lan Lan.

Lan Lan's horn flashed with blue light, and a series of runes surged out.

A shield constructed of dragon scales appeared in front of Ji Yinlan.

At this moment, the spear shattered the rune array diagram and struck the Dragon Scale Shield with a clang.

"You do have some tricks, but you still cannot change your destiny!"

The Soul Hunter Commander walked through the air, coming to the side of Jun Wu Xie and Ji Yinlan, and hurled out the second spear with a hum.

Lan Lan's horn flashed again, constructing a second Dragon Scale Shield, blocking the Soul Hunter Commander's second spear.

"Interesting!"

The Soul Hunter Commander changed his position again and threw out the third nine-star forbidden weapon spear.

Lan Lan's horn flashed again.

But this time, it instantly went out.

It lay weakly on the ground, unable to condense a third shield!

Ji Yinlan immediately condensed an array diagram in front of her.

The spear came, and the spearhead pierced into the array diagram, breaking through bit by bit.

Ji Yinlan tried her best, but she could only watch as the spear continued to break through, the spearhead approaching her little by little!
