Chapter 1147 Mutual Destruction
Qin Yunlan and the other three Nascent Soul stage cultivators, seeing this, naturally understood that an opening was being created for them.
The other Nascent Soul stage cultivators from the underworld had also been held back by the other humans.
The City Lord of Yaogu City also reacted immediately, roaring, "They can't be allowed to escape!"
The City Lord of Yaogu City wanted to break free and intercept, but the rapidly expanding blade domain had already sealed him.
"Insane! This fellow is burning his inner core and his body!" The City Lord of Yaogu City finally realized why this person's spiritual power had suddenly become so strong.
He intended to use his own life to hold them both back.
"If you wish to die, I shall oblige!" The City Lord of Yaogu City's body instantly swelled to twice its size, and a special spiritual energy condensed behind his several-zhang-tall frame.
The city walls of Yaogu City were formed from millions of skeletons. No one knew why this was done.
But at this moment, these skeletons moved.
All the skeletons in Yaogu City surged towards the City Lord of Yaogu City.
Attaching themselves to the City Lord of Yaogu City, in an instant, the City Lord was enveloped within them.
Millions of skeletons formed a hundred-zhang-tall skeletal armor. The City Lord of Yaogu City's spiritual energy infused the skeletons, and he slammed a palm towards the blade domain, destroying it.
As the blade domain, formed by burning his inner core and body, clashed with the skeletal giant hand, the skeletons shattered, and the blade domain dissipated.
However, after the skeletons dispersed, more skeletons from elsewhere rapidly converged.
The blade domain could no longer form a barrier.
The other human Nascent Soul stage cultivators, witnessing this, were filled with unspeakable rage.
But they were powerless.
Qin Yunlan, seeing this, transmitted her voice, "You can't stop him, go!"
Her voice was devoid of emotion, only carrying a sense of resolute determination.
Seeing Qin Yunlan resolutely charge towards the skeletal giant, the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were about to leave exchanged glances.
Without a word, they followed.
Even if they were to die, it wouldn't be Qin Yunlan to die first.
"Hahahaha! You still had a chance to leave, but now, you shall all stay here!" The City Lord of Yaogu City's laughter, amplified by the skeletons, resounded like thunder. He turned and struck towards Qin Yunlan with both hands.
Qin Yunlan's eyes focused, and her spiritual energy surged through her divine sea.
A divine light suddenly erupted from her forehead.
In the sky, the dark clouds were torn open by a mysterious force, creating a rift that mirrored Qin Yunlan.
At this instant, the Prefect of Yaodu Mansion abruptly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Yaogu City.
That divine light seemed to stab his eyes directly. A hint of a smile appeared on the Prefect of Yaodu Mansion's face.
"Humans grow quite quickly."
With that, the Prefect of Yaodu Mansion raised his hand and tore through the void, directly ripping open a spatial rift. Not long after the Prefect of Yaodu Mansion entered the rift, spatial rifts also appeared in several locations tens of thousands of miles away.
However, they were forced out by the Prefect of Yaodu Mansion.
"Human divine abilities... it's truly displeasing that Yaodu Mansion gets this advantage!"
Meanwhile, outside Yaogu City, the earth-shattering skeletal hands of the City Lord of Yaogu City stopped in mid-air.
The City Lord of Yaogu City did not know what the divine light was, but a strong sense of repulsion prevented his skeletons from advancing further.
"I refuse to believe it!" The City Lord of Yaogu City had already expended the millennium of accumulated resources of Yaogu City, so he naturally could not retreat.
He took half a step back with his skeletons, and his spiritual energy surged again, creating a sound that shook the heavens.
The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the underworld not far from the skeletons were directly thrown to the ground by this power.
Qin Yunlan's divine light slowly dissipated, and she was on the verge of being shattered by the skeletons.
Just then, a spatial rift quietly appeared, revealing a human hand that directly pulled Qin Yunlan into it.
The speed was so great that no one noticed.
When the City Lord of Yaogu City realized that he could no longer sense Qin Yunlan's life force, he breathed a sigh of relief.
His skeletal hands relaxed, and not even his body remained. Looking at the empty space, all the human Nascent Soul stage cultivators were stunned.
Qin Yunlan was dead?
But at that moment, a spatial rift appeared before everyone's eyes.
Three figures slowly walked out from within.
One of them was Qin Yunlan.
The few seconds in the outside world were enough for Chen Yang to clarify the situation outside.
Upon learning that the City Lord of Yaogu City had even found some helpers, he said grimly, "In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The simultaneous appearance of Qin Yunlan and Chen Yang startled the people of the underworld.
However, Chen Yang gave them no chance to react. Chen Yang and Wu Min immediately began to create spatial rifts.
But this time, it was not to take people away to hide.
It was to make the people of the underworld go inside!
The first to suffer were the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the underworld who had not left.
Their cultivation levels were insufficient to comprehend spatial rifts, and they were completely incapable of resisting their devouring.
"Forget about your Yaogu City!"
When Chen Yang's voice reached the ears of the City Lord of Yaogu City, the latter immediately understood what Chen Yang intended to do.
Although their strength could not create extremely large spatial rifts, they could still draw Nascent Soul stage cultivators into them.
At their current rate, Yaogu City would sooner or later become a place of spatial rifts like that in the Wangyou Sea Domain.
Not only Yaogu City, but this entire area would likely be avoided by people in the future.
"Chen Yang!" The City Lord of Yaogu City roared in fury and swung a palm at Chen Yang.
However, not only did he fail to injure Chen Yang, but he also caused many skeletons to be sucked into the spatial rift.
Similarly, it also crushed many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of the underworld.
But even so, the City Lord of Yaogu City understood one thing: he could not let Chen Yang continue.
He needed Yaogu City, he needed the resources collected by Yaogu City on a daily basis, and he absolutely could not let Chen Yang destroy Yaogu City.
Chen Yang used the Heavenly Movement Secret Art to create distance, and then coldly looked at the few Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the underworld in the distance.
"We have no quarrel with each other, and humans have never attacked you. If you still wish to continue fighting."
"I will leave now!"
"When you return, your cities will be filled with spatial rifts."
"You can, of course, repair them bit by bit, but whether you can repair them faster or I can tear them open faster will depend on your strength!"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators invited by the City Lord of Yaogu City gasped.
While talent might be the primary factor in becoming a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, possessing abundant resources was also crucial.
The cities they held were their most important resources.
If these were destroyed by Chen Yang, it would be a monumental task to rebuild them, and who knew if Chen Yang would cause trouble again in the future.
Instantly, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the underworld stopped, but they did not leave. They were simply unsure of how to proceed.
The City Lord of Yaogu City was about to attack Chen Yang when he suddenly stopped and turned to look at a spatial rift that had appeared above Yaogu City. It was not created by Chen Yang, and it carried a familiar aura.
