Chapter 1166: Hades Re-Appearance

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

After the initial clash, the human clan counterattacked and pushed the battles from the Divine Lands into the Barren Expanses. The main battlefield was concentrated in the territory of the demon clan.

The situation amidst the War of the Two Worlds was very messy and everyone was trying to do get what they could through their own abilities. The misgivings and order of the past were thrown to the back of their heads.

When someone of a higher cultivation met someone of a lower cultivation, it was almost always a slaughter. But at the higher levels of cultivation, there would be lesser cultivators. This made it easier for a stalemate to arise and no party would gain an upper hand over the other.

Although the situation in the War of the Two Worlds was very chaotic, it did not mean that those at the top had lost their rationality.

Under such a circumstance, it’s more likely that those of lower cultivations would fight more intensely. Away from the battlefields where the more powerful ones fought one another, the rest of the battlefields raged with even more intense battles.

The Barren Expanses and the passageway connecting from the Southern Wilderness of the Divine Lands were now controlled by the human clan. From the passageway, many powerful cultivators from the human clan streamed into the Barren Expanses to attack the demons. They even occupied some of the worlds in the Barren Expanses.

Although they were unable to occupy the Barren Expanses for long, they could still seize the treasures, resources as well as the spiritual energy.

Relying on the foundation that was erected, the various powers of the human clan spread their influence in all directions.

From the passageway, extending 5000 miles straight in the eastern direction would lead to an opening of a Middle World. Looking through from the passageway into that Middle World, one could see several volcanoes spurting lava out underneath a gloomy sky. At the same time, squalls raged in this Middle World.

The entire internal region of the Middle World was engulfed by a layer of foggy green light. From within, a thick, ferocious aura was exuded.

There was an enormous number of human cultivators that were attacking that Middle World. Although the vibration of spiritual energy was very fierce over there, there were many unique and special resources in such an environment. There might even be spiritual plants and materials to be mined.

And in such a Middle World, there were demons that treated it as their habitat. They were unable to escape and were stuck here. They had no choice but to fight the human cultivators.

These demons were shaped like tigers and had long fur. They resembled tigers, had pig-like teeth and long tails. Behavior-wise, they were very ferocious, stubborn and violent. In fact, their behavior suited their environment.

These demons belonged to the Tao Wu tribe, one of the Four Immemorial Evil Beasts.

This Middle World was the habitat of the Tao Wus. The younger Tao Wus of lower cultivations were protected by the Tao Wu Kings using demonic powers. After that, they followed a few Tao Wu Kings who had formed the Demon Soul to fight their way out of this Middle World.

One of the Tao Wu even formed the Undying Demon Soul. However, it had sustained injuries earlier and was unable to unleash its powers now.

Even so, its ferocious demonic powers and tough physical flesh still left the Nascent Soul Stage human cultivators petrified. Under the leadership of this Tao Wu, the bunch of Tao Wus forced their way to the opening of the passageway and they were ready to escape.

They had no intention of remaining in this Middle World. The human cultivators nearby were becoming more and more. Once they riled an Immortal Soul Stage human cultivator or more of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, they would be unable to protect this Middle World any longer.

Most of the human cultivators that encircled this Middle World were from the Great Qin Empire. Right now, they were helpless as they saw the Tao Wus breaking through their encirclement.

Slaying these Tao Wus would allow them to reap rewards that were comparable to the benefits that they could obtain from rummaging through this Middle World that was slowly turning barren. However, there was a Tao Wu with an Undying Demon Soul that led the Tao Wus. Even though that Tao Wu was already hurt, they would still need to pay a huge price if they wanted to kill it. They might even have to sacrifice their own lives. Hence, the human cultivators were hesitant.

But at this point, a streak of sword radiance flashed across the sky suddenly. The sword radiance arrived before a booming thunder sound resonated.

That sword radiance was like lightning, as it arrived rapidly outside of the Middle World. As the startling, thunderous sound resonated, everyone was almost knocked out.

The demon souls of the Tao Wus also became unstable.

The sword radiance attacked the Tao Wu with the Undying Demon Soul.

The Tao Wu roared and green light surged around its body. It clashed with that sword radiance. However, it was critically injured. It was helpless against this new opponent it faced. The sword radiance exploded and caused the green light around it to be crushed into powder.

After all, Tao Wus were fierce and their demonic powers were very resilient. Offensively, they very difficult to shrug off. Defensively, they were very resilient.

Although this Tao Wu was heavily injured, it was not killed even after it was struck by this violent sword radiance.

A man who looked 30-40 years old appeared in front of the Tao Wu, holding a long sword that was revolved by a bolt of lightning.

“It’s Ben Leizi from the Lightning Sword Sect!” One of the Great Qin Empire cultivator could tell that it was Ben Leizi from the Lightning Sword Sect, the other Immortal Soul Stage cultivator apart from the Lightning Swordmaster in the Lightning Sword Sect.

Although he had formed the Immortal Soul only not long ago, his powers and swordplay cultivation could not be underestimated.

The Lightning Sword Sect and the Tao Wu tribe had a deep enmity between them. Ben Leizi was merciless now. Every time he slashed his sword down, a bolt of destructive lightning would flash across the sky.

One of the Tao Wu in the Demon Lord realm was unable to avoid the sword of Ben Leizi and was turned to ashes immediately.

The Tao Wus attacked the Southern Territories of the Great Qin Empire through the passageway once before. Now that the Great Qin Empire saw a prime opportunity to exact their revenge, they wouldn’t let it go easily. They went after the Tao Wus in the Demon Lord realm that tried to escape.

In the distance, there were lightning sword radiances that flashed across too. When they came nearer, one could tell that they were Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Lightning Sword Sect that followed Ben Leizi here. The bunch of them attacked together and bolts and bolts of lightning surrounded the entire place.

The Tao Wus bellowed in fury and resisted heavily.

Ben Leizi slashed one of the legs of the Undying Demon Soul Tao Wu off. Before he unleashed another stroke of his, his expression changed suddenly as he looked at the ground beneath him.

The surface of the ground that had cracked open during the battling process of both parties started to shake tremendously. The shaking caused this barren land to be left in fissures. However, beneath the cracks, ferocious demonic powers rose up and swept away the bolts of lightning that filled the sky.

A ravening yet weird snake rose up from the ground. It had one head, two bodies, six legs and four wings. It was a Feiyi.

As the Feiyi revealed itself, the ground dried up as all water content was evaporated from the ground. All the human cultivators around felt extremely stifled at this point.

The expression of Ben Leizi changed, “A Feiyi with the original true spirit!”

However, this Feiyi did not have much time to bother with Ben Leizi or the Tao Wus. It was attempting to escape far away.

But its sudden appearance left everyone in shock. Its brutal demonic powers caused many of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators to be hurt.

One Nascent Soul Stage cultivator that stood in front of its path was directly engulfed by its demonic powers. The body, blood and energy of this cultivator wizened and his soul and Nascent Soul cracked like a ceramic tool.

Even Ben Leizi was only able to protect some of the sword cultivators of the Lightning Sword Sect. However, he was forced back as the demonic powers of the Feiyi swept him. His Immortal Soul turned unstable.

The Feiyi escaped and behind it, two streaks of flowing light also burst out from the ground. One of them was a streak of black sword radiance that meandered, as if it was black, flowing river water that followed closely behind the Feiyi. The sword radiance was paired with a middle-aged man in black who wore a crown and donned a robe embedded with images of snakes on it. He was around 10 feet tall and was formed entirely by light projection.

This was the virtual entity of Prince Jingfang, Shi Lin, of the Great Qin Empire. He summoned his metaplasia level magic treasure, the Black River Sword, to chase after the Feiyi.

Alongside him was an Immortal Soul Second Level cultivator from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. He unleashed the Great Way of the Heavenly Master Sword of the Heavenly Master Sword Sect. He was quicker than Shi Lin and caught up to the Feiyi instantly. Shi Lin were also hot on their heels, as he combined with the sword cultivator from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect to trap the Feiyi. They wanted to slay this Feiyi.

The Tao Wus were not within their line of vision. But the vigorous powers that they carried with them managed to bring down the Tao Wus too.

The battle situation became even more intense. The condition of the surroundings also changed and the earth beneath had already appeared with a huge depression. The sky above also appeared with cracks.

Regardless whether it was Ben Leizi, the Tao Wus or the rest, they were no longer in the mood to fight anymore. They quickly escaped.

But at this point, void space started to crush nearby the area where Shi Lin and the Feiyi were clashing. The boundaries of the Greater World was forcefully torn with a hole.

The entire world was like a scroll which was torn from the outside by someone.

The Feiyi and the sword cultivator from the Heavenly Master Sword Sect were both at the position where the hole was created. Before they could even react, the space around them was torn apart and their bodies suffered the same fate too!

Shi Lin, who was slightly further away, opened his eyes wide. He watched in a daze as the two of them perished just like that!

They did not even struggle, resist or develop any fury or fear before they were torn apart.

In that hole, purple light flashed and swallowed the corpse of the Feiyi and the sword cultivator. The purple light caused the entire place to be dyed purple.

Within the boundaries of the purple light, all life could feel their spirits shaking inside them.

As the purple light shone, several huge figures emerged from the hole.

As they descended, the Heavens and Earth shook and the purple light became even more intense. Near the cracks, the bodies of cultivators with lower cultivations were crushed as the purple light shone on them.

The huge figures did not seem to be moved by all this. They only scrutinized the Barren Expanses and the Greater World.

The most powerful presence of them all said in a low voice, “Greater World, I’m back.”
