Chapter 1437 728: When the Plot Unfolds, A Fight to the Death
Amidst the flickering thunder, the solitary tower trembles, the Circle Realm shatters.
But beneath that solitary tower founded on blood, bone, and iron, in the deeper and more secretive darkness, an ancient gate buried deep trembles slightly.
The hidden Circle Realm beneath the Circle Realm is revealed for an instant!
The imposing and eerie subterranean palace, buried deep beneath this Circle Realm, depicts an image of a lady holding a lantern on the ancient stone gate, her pale and bizarre face seems to wear a slight smile.
The lady opens the gate, the realm of death unfolds.
At the gate, a river of blood flows, jagged bone bridge amidst endless wails, deep within the solemn hall, on the altar, a censer with sticks of dark green incense burns without wind, the smoke rising, surrounding the ancestral tablet in the center.
The ancient-styled tablet, yet entirely different from usual designs.
On the black surface, devoid of words, a pale hand picks up a vermillion brush, drenched in blood ink, and swiftly writes.
[Spirit Tablet of Lou Yanyue]!
The viscous scarlet slowly drips from the corners of the characters, mournful like bloody tears.
Outside the hall, countless residual spirits kneel like puppets, expressionless, uniformly prostrating.
Burned by invisible flames, reduced to ashes.
Thus on the altar, the incense candles explode into flames, the rising firelight illuminates behind the altar, the ferocious and massive shadow, even three smiling, pale faces.
Three faces lean forward together, gazing at the tiny tablet below, opening their mouths, hoarse, piercing, and deep voices combine into a call that echoes through the Netherworld:
"Lou Yanyue, why haven't you returned?!"
At that moment, the visions of Five Floors and Twelve Cities came to a halt.
Unexpectedly, Lou Yanyue, finally hears the distant call.
Time seems to freeze, everything completely stuck.
She falls into a daze.
In the stunned gaze of everyone, Bi Fang hovers above the firmament, holding Tribulation Thunder, yet at the closest point to victory, remains motionless.
Only she alone can see the eerie vision manifesting between heaven and earth, the world turns black and white, amidst dark clouds, a massive face slowly emerges, breaking through the clouds.
It looks as if wearing a splendid golden mask, four pitch-black eyes gaze downward.
And a pair of withered hands, unknown since when, already extend from the void, grabbing her soul, slowly drilling in, lifting up.
On the giant face, a foul-smelling mouth opens wide.
Towards her, suddenly closes!
Instantly devoured!
From then on, there is no more Lou Yanyue in the world.
In the next instant, the outbreak of Soldier Calamity surges towards the heavens, thoroughly obliterating her body as well, erasing the last traces of existence. Thus, the prodigy of the Lou Family, promisingly rising, inadvertently falls in a duel of valor in the overseas Seven Cities.
Immediately after, the Family God of the Chopra family also completely lost amidst the counterattacks and calculations.
Leaving behind a muddy pit, waiting for the furious Lou Family to leap into...
Seven Cities embroiled in conflict, the Lou Family violently perished!
Doesn't that sound delightful?
Unfortunately, the sound of bursting is even more delightful, and simultaneously, increasingly crisp!
Crack—!!!!
Above the firmament, from the closed mouth comes the sound of collision and shattering.
The golden giant face is stupefied.
Just like when preparing to devour a delicious feast voraciously, suddenly under the tender pork shoulder, bites onto an iron block.
No, bitten onto a blade!
Ghost Gods screech, roar.
Viscous blood gushes from the mouth, painfully calling.
The statues within the subterranean palace are stupefied, seeing the tablet before them rapidly cracking.
And within the giant mouth, Lou Yanyue, who should have been powerless to resist, is already covered by the sharp edges of a crystal, transforming.
It is clearly the scene Ji Jue once witnessed with his own eyes.
When the Lou Family faced unavoidable deadly calamity, the ultimate life-saving technique to completely transform all spiritual materials even the soul into matter, waiting for 'Deadlock' to thaw!
But this moment frozen Lou Yanyue, shattering the Curse of Ghost-eating Fangxiang Spell, is not Lou Yanyue's spiritual form at all, its subtle transformation, high nature, even far beyond what ordinary Chosen Ones could aspire to!
That is nothing more than a force akin to a blade, piercing into Lou Yanyue's soul with Heavenly Power!
Yet which Heavenly People would idly stab their most promising younger generation with blades for fun?!
Or perhaps...
Under the protection of blood-colored crystals, Lou Yanyue raises her head, surveying the furious four-eyed Fangxiang, grinning.
The chicken foot is finally revealed, isn't it?
"Damn."
Inside the Circle Realm subterranean palace, the faces of three-headed Ghost Gods change abruptly.
And high in the sky, a bit of cold light silently appears.
Hundreds of kilometers above the firmament, beneath the shrouded mist, a silent cargo ship is already covered in complex Secret Ritual, massive amounts of Spiritual Crystal burn in an instant.
And at the prow, Lou Feng, waiting for a long time, no longer needs to listen to Ji Jue's garbage talk.
Without hesitation, a flick of finger.
——Transformation Realm·Star of Bethlehem, erupt!
On the deck, the massive Crystal Tree, countless Illusion Lights wither, just like one spring ends, everything perishes, only a flickering Illusion Light from the branch falls, scattering into the world.
A seemingly slow but swift light crosses a vast distance in an instant, falls into the scene.
Clearly an intangible light, yet as it passes it emits a sharp sound like glass being cut, causing all things to flicker and change, causing the ferocious Ghost Gods in the void to faintly emerge.
Even without time to react.
Or rather, it already hit the target before it began.
Upon realizing, it has already breached the Circle Realm, penetrated Ku Knobel's massive body, causing the Two-headed Giant to stiffen in place, as if frozen...boiling sounds arise, from within him.
The illusion of the tower shatters, countless blood water evaporates and breaks.
The outer layer disguise under this blow is mercilessly peeled off, torn, reaching essence.
Just like throwing a bright red firecracker into a dung pit, accompanied by that flash suddenly erupting, within a short flick, the tumultuous Spiritual Fluctuation and impact repeat like high-frequency impacts, a million times.
Then the inside, the contents of decay and stench, eject...
Alongside the Two-headed Giant's body collapsing, Circle Realm dissipates, the Circle Realm beneath revealed, the Soul hidden behind Ku Knobel lifted by the flood.
In the blink of an eye, the eerie and dark underground palace, along with the sinister and brutal scenes and the strange figure on the divine throne, appeared under the bright sunlight!
In the sudden silence, everyone looked at each other.
Dazed.
Incomprehensible.
What the hell is this? What's going on? Where am I? What happened?
A blink, and the mother hen turns into a duck, where the hell did all this stuff come from!
"Xu Lingshou! Xu Lingwei! Xu Lingyue!"
The blood-colored crystal exploded, completely dispelling the Fangxiang Spell, and in mid-air, Lou Yanyue burst into laughter: "I wondered who had been lurking, turns out it's you three Xu Family maggots... hahaha, it's really been a long time!"
Her laughter faded, serious and sinister, she inquired: "What are you squatting here for?!"
Under the blood-colored thin veil, the face of the three-headed Ghost God on the divine throne changed abruptly, without a second thought, hands clasped, the body collapsed inward, instantly transforming into an almost imperceptible ghostly light.
Without a word, turned and ran!
But can you really escape?
Pa!
On the sea outside the Duel Arena, a layer of thin mist faintly appeared, suddenly solidifying into substance, forming an invisible iron wall, unseen above, unseen below, with no end, no beginning.
Illusory yet real, truth and falsehood are indistinguishable.
The ghostly light hit it and flew back!
At the same time, another cold snort exploded like thunder, causing everyone to black out, the three-headed Ghost God transformed back to its original form, unable to hide.
On both sides of the sea and sky, two figures silently emerged.
A man and a woman, Ascension and Mirror.
Lou Zhaoye! Lou Yuling!
"Since you're here, why rush to leave?" They laughed mockingly, "After all, you Xu Family people always hide, don't you know any manners?"
Above the sky, the light of the Star of Bethlehem appeared, countless Spiritual Crystals like giant trees covered the sky, locking this place completely.
"No wonder it's the Immortal Touching the Head!"
Above the three-headed Ghost God, the central head, under the pale mask, angry laughter echoed, spoken with hatred: "Good strategy, good means! Today I..."
"What the hell—"
In that moment, Bi Fang came face to face, Lou Yanyue sped forward, green wings swept horizontally, and the power shone as bright as the sun and stars: "Three old bastards, dog-f*cking idiots, die for me!"
Boom!!!
Lou Zhaoye and Lou Yuling were also stunned for a moment, typically they'd throw a couple of harsh words, flaunt a bit, wouldn't they?
But since the fight started, they exchanged glances, and without a second thought, joined the attack!
But before that happened, they couldn't help but cast a meaningful glance above the sky.
Kid, you'd better think carefully, about how to explain to the family!
"... Why is everything blamed on me?"
Lou Feng on the Prosperity felt stiff, about to cry with rage: It really wasn't what I taught her!!!
Aunt, please say you learned it yourself!
Please, if you don't say it, I'll drop dead here!
Lou Yanyue said nothing, just kept bombarding, spewing foul words... Lou Feng closed his eyes in despair, waved his hand, tears and spiritual bombardment fell like rain.
Damn it, come what may, if one can live, live, if not, die!
In the earth-shattering roar, ghostly screeches and growls continued, the space between sea and sky had turned into a battlefield for life and death, while in the cracked Duel Arena, everyone was dumbstruck.
"Huh?"
Feilqi stiffly lowered his head, looked at the silent arena, and the still-warm Two-headed Giant, a 'zombie' that had been dead for God knows how long!
Kuzobel!
From the beginning, the dueler in everyone's eyes was just an empty shell, a house, a puppet controlled from the shadow behind...
And the one behind the control, wait a sec, then...
Thinking about what might happen, if Lou Yanyue died here, how much trouble would ignite in the Seven Cities, he completely understood.
All clear!
Unable to help turning back, eyes filled with blood, looked at the dazed group from the Sujano Family.
"Seno!!!"
Seno's expression twitched for a moment, subconsciously stepped back, but saw Minkler's smile, those eyes directly fixated on him.
"Give an explanation, Seno."
The Family God appeared, Minkler pressed forward step by step, questioning the other side: "Now, who broke the rules?"
Visible to the naked eye, originally gathered around Seno, the representatives from Yamen and Dan City were thunderstruck, jumped up and moved away.
Afraid to be a step late, Seno's blood would splatter on them!
Seno's eye twitched crazily, argued: "I don't know either..."
But before the words fell, a strange fluctuation appeared behind him, his entourage behind suddenly pressed a hand on his shoulder, activating Blessed Creation.
Instantly, the Gate of Eternity opened, traversing thousands of miles.
Ran away!
The others didn't have time to stop, infuriated, only to see, Seno, who should have disappeared, teleported to the original spot.
A classic spot TP!
He teleported, but it was as if he hadn't.
Seno looked back in a daze, towards behind him, furious, what the hell are you doing?
Then, he saw a face even more dazed than his...
Poof!
A light sound, scarlet blade nonchalantly pierced through the flesh.
Blood splattered, spraying onto Seno's old face.
"What the hell are you mumbling?"
Ji Jue withdrew Pan Ying, stomping on the corpse, looked at Seno, asked:
"Will you wisely kneel first, or should I help you?"
