Chapter 743 - 87: Ao Lie Disrupts the Game

At the moment True Martial Resurrection took place, the Qingxu Xuan Immortal who casually dissolved the Heaven-Overturning Seal attack with the Saintess’s [All Laws Return to Ruins] let a sharp look flash in his eyes.

Instead of being injured by the dissolved attack, he seized the moment when everyone’s attention was drawn to True Martial, and suddenly crushed a warm jade pendant hidden in his sleeve!

"Yuqing Secret Technique·Primordial Spirit Substitute Death!"

An apparition almost identical to his physical body, but slightly illusory, instantly separated from him. At the moment of its appearance, Qingxu’s face turned pale, and his aura dropped significantly, evidently paying the price.

But the apparition instead of him, bore some kind of intangible backlash force originating from the Saintess’s Returning Void Law, and was utterly annihilated amidst a shrill scream.

Qingxu’s physical body merely groaned in a muffled voice, quickly consumed an elixir, and his aura surprisingly stabilized rapidly.

This is a life-preserving trump card passed down in Yuqing, at the cost of a portion of cultivation and a precious Substitute Death Talisman, to evade a fatal crisis or powerful backlash!

On another side, the Ten Thousand Devouring Demon Mother’s myriad snake heads swallowed by Little Pu’s [Cosmic Storm], no longer let out cries of pain.

But emitted a shrill scream full of boundless venom and madness! At its massive body’s center, a pitch-black core composed of countless distorted abyssal runes throbbed violently!

"Abyssal Blessing·Filthy Earth Rebirth!"

The core exploded with black light as thick as ink! Surrounding Abyssal Demon Soldier corpses killed by the battle’s aftermath, shattered spatial fragments, and even chaotic time energy from the stray Time Abyss Sand were forcibly drawn in.

Like rivers running to the sea, instantly at the devoured parts of the Ten Thousand Devouring Demon Mother, a new body flowing with even more filthy pus coagulated.

Though its aura slightly fell, it astonishingly instantly regained most of its combat power.

This is the life-preserving ability granted by the Abyss to top Demon Generals, relying on abyssal will to reshape oneself using battlefield "filth"!

The battlefield situation changes abruptly, both sides continually revealing trump cards and means capable of resurrecting Profound Immortal level battles.

Just as Jade Master furrowed his brow due to a blocked ultimate kill and was about to gather a more terrifying Sword Qi, Shen Fei’s eyes shot out with cold light!

"Now! Stabbing Immortal!"

Always lurking like the deepest shadow at the edge of time chaos, Stabbing Immortal moved!

She did not attack Jade Master’s physical body.

Jade Master himself was among the older beings within the Profound Immortal.

That was too risky.

Not guaranteed to completely kill, better to break one finger than hurt all ten fingers.

Her target was the one previously whose attack by the Saintess’s [All Laws Return to Ruins] was annihilated, and just used [Primordial Spirit Substitute Death] secret technique.

Currently in a state of waning old force and burgeoning new force, mind slightly relaxed due to the Substitute Death, Qingxu Xuan Immortal!

[Void Tribulation Shadow] activated! Stabbing Immortal’s figure completely merged into the Space Law itself, under the dual suppression of the Space Stabilizing Disc and Time Abyss Sand.

She forcibly tore open an extremely minute spatial fissure, appearing beside Qingxu Xuan Immortal as if by Instant Teleportation.

The ghostly light of [Eternal Silence’s Thorn] condensed at the pinnacle of the Immortal Slaying Sword, carrying the terrifying intent to erase traces of existence, ruthlessly pierced his vitals at the back heart, ignoring the hastily activated Protective Immortal Light of Qingxu!

"Pft—!"

A soft sound, yet seemingly pierced everyone’s eardrums! The Immortal Slaying Sword pierced precisely through Qingxu Xuan Immortal’s Immortal Body.

’Path of Immortal Slaying’ power exploded within him.

Qingxu Xuan Immortal’s eyes abruptly protruded, face filled with incredulous horror and intense pain.

He felt his origin, his dao, even his divine soul being frantically stripped, torn, and returned to annihilation by that bizarre sword!

"Aaah—!" A scream so shrill it was inhuman resounded throughout the battlefield!

Qingxu Xuan Immortal’s body swiftly deflated and disintegrated like a punctured balloon, Immortal Light scattered, about to follow in the footsteps of the Substitute Death apparition, completely extinguishing in form and spirit!

"Uncle Qingxu!" Chonghe Xuan Immortal’s eyes were nearly bursting, screaming out.

He was fully maintaining the core operation of the Space Stabilizing Disc, too late to rescue.

Master Xuanji and other Yuqing Xuan Immortals were also shocked to their core, their assaults stalled.

Qingxu was indeed an old-school Profound Immortal, yet in front of everyone’s eyes, was critically wounded to near death by a True Immortal level assassin?!

In this critical moment when the whole battlefield’s mind was severely shaken due to Qingxu Xuan Immortal’s near-death.

"Ao Spirit! You treacherous wench! Come here and meet your end!!!"

A roar filled with deep-seated hatred and fierce Dragon’s Might, like thunder from the Nine Heavens, violently tore through the dead silence solidified at the edge of the Void Divine Realm!

Boom—!!!

On the battlefield’s outskirts, the seemingly indestructible "Space-Time Amber" barrier formed by the intertwining of Space Stabilizing Disc’s azure light and Time Abyss Sand’s black mist.

Suddenly caved inward, subsequently exploded into a massive aperture with a diameter of several tens of zhang like fragile Colored Glaze!

Violent spatial turbulence, laden with fragmented Law Fragments, rushed back like a breached flood!

This was caused by an enormous dragon over ten thousand zhang long, its whole body covered in heavy dark-gold dragon scales——East Sea Dragon Race Elder, Ao Lie!

His eyes blood-red as if on fire, burning with the madness of revenge, clasping tightly in his huge dragon claws an ancient-shaped spiral spike imbued with rich Ancestral Dragon aura——Dragon Palace forbidden treasure [Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike]! At the spike’s tip, a profound spatial singularity was slowly dissipating.

Evidently, this treasure forcefully tore the outer wall of the "Space-Time Anchor" formation.

Behind him, over a dozen elite Sea Split Guards manifested True Dragon Bodies, their murderous aura soaring sky-high, rushed into the battle like unleashed beasts!

Dragon’s Might mixed with bloody killing intent instantly disrupted the already chaotic battlefield energy field.

Ao Lie’s entry point and timing, were precisely calculated to the extreme!

Qingxu was injured, Chonghe Xuan Immortal’s mind violently shaken, causing a momentary disarray in the coordinated control of the formation.

Stabbing Immortal’s assassination and Qingxu’s near-death explosion of energy, happened to cause a fierce conflict near Ao Lie’s entry point, making the Space Law there extremely unstable.

Using [Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike] specialized in breaking spatial restrictions, breaking points to break surfaces, grasped this fleeting, absolutely weak spot caused by both internal and external factors!

Ao Lie’s enormous dragon body spiraled within the chaotic battlefield, dark-gold vertical pupils scanning wildly as if searchlights, unmistakably clear in purpose.

He was determined to find Dragon Maiden Ao Spirit, tear her to pieces, and avenge his brother Ao Qing!

However, what met his gaze was only the sight of Shen Fei and his group struggling under the joint attack from Yuqing and Abyssal allied forces.

Where was Dragon Maiden Ao Spirit to be seen?

"Impossible! That wench’s aura clearly pointed here! Where is she?!" Ao Lie’s violent divine thought swept over the battlefield like a hurricane, but found nothing.

He had previously intercepted intelligence clearly stating the Dragon Maiden secretly dispatched a squad to the Void Divine Realm’s edge to investigate the "Reversing Scale Soul Reviving Grass."

And the core coordinate point was precisely here.

He even used Secret Technique to capture a trace of Dragon Maiden’s Dragon Qi remnant, thus defied the Dragon King’s orders, came with reckless fury.

But what he did not know was, all this was meticulously arranged by the Dragon Maiden in a [Deceiving Heaven and Sea] trap! That "investigation squad" was bait.

That "Decisive Dragon Qi" was the Dragon Maiden using her own essence blood combined with [Cosmic Star Track] Secret Technique, temporarily condensed and deliberately leaked in a nondescript corner at the battlefield’s edge as a pretense!

Its purpose was to lure him in, let him appear at the most "appropriate" moment, in the most "appropriate" location!

At this moment, the true Dragon Maiden Ao Spirit, calmly stationed deep within East Sea Dragon Palace, through [Celestial Destiny Dragon Master] and [Cosmic Star Track] secret linkage, coldly watched the movements of this crucial piece on the board.
