Chapter 752 - 96: Bait in Hand

"Abyss filth! Get lost from my sight!"

Chi You roared, his voice waves like tangible shockwaves, causing nearby space fragments to fall incessantly.

He stepped forward, disregarding the partial delaying effects of Dimensional Imprisonment, his massive foot shattering a star shard beneath it.

His right fist clenched tightly, Chaos Demon Qi and Power of Annihilation highly condensed and compressed, his entire arm seemingly transforming into the Chaos Divine Weapon that opens up the heavens—Ancestor Holy Fist - Dao Decay.

BOOM!!!

No ornamentation, his gigantic mountain-like body carrying the momentum to crush everything, like an out-of-control chaotic meteor, violently collided with the Burning Prison Demon Commander trying to escape the influence of Apocalypse Brand, rushing toward the space channel.

The Molten Rock Giant Axe clashed fiercely against the Chaos Demon Fist.

BOOM—!

Indescribable terrifying force erupted, space forcibly compressed and torn apart, creating a momentary black hole-like indentation.

The gargantuan body of the Burning Prison Demon Commander was slammed backward by Chi You’s furious impact, the cracks spreading densely across the Molten Rock Armor, spraying demon blood!

The left fist followed, carrying the annihilation demon shout tearing divine souls, fiercely attacking the Soul-locking Demon Shadow, formed by countless lamenting soul chains, from the flank.

Wherever the fist edge passed, the soul chains screamed as if meeting their nemesis, snapping and dissolving bit by bit.

The massive demon shadow of the Soul-locking Demon Shadow trembled violently from a single punch, becoming slightly more illusionary!

Chi You, with himself as a barrier, in the most fierce manner, single-handedly held back both the burning prison and soul lock demon generals, suppressing them in a region far from the space channel.

Every punch and axe clash, every demon shadow charge, erupted into a destructive energy torrent, buying precious time for the fragile channel.

Demon blood and Chaos Demon Qi splashed intertwiningly, yet new wounds constantly appeared on his massive demon body, but those dark-gold vertical pupils burning with destructive flames only grew more ferocious and determined!

At the instant Chi You slammed the Burning Prison Demon Commander away, a streak of emerald light shot out from beside Little Pu like an arrow of vitality piercing the perpetual night, precisely entering the just-stabilized space channel!

It was Shennong!

He was enveloped in a layer of gentle yet unbreakable colored glaze clear light—World-Purifying Glazed Body.

The chaotic flow of time brushed past, like a stream encountering a reef, easily soothed and neutralized by the clear light.

The fast-spinning space fragments collided with the clear light, producing crisp sounds, forcibly bounced off and annihilated.

Unassailable by myriad laws.

In this perilous channel, he moved as if walking on flat ground!

His goal was absolutely clear.

His left hand extended, five fingers spread open, in the palm, the law runes of Supreme Pill Origin Dao flowed, emitting the most sensitive perception and affinity for the origin of heavenly spiritual matter.

The Ring of Time, hovering at the center of the floating island, radiating temporal rays, seemed to be summoned invisibly, trembling slightly, transforming into a streak of light, actively entering his gentle jade-like palm!

Upon entry, it was cool to the touch, yet contained the vastness of a star sea in time origin power, akin to holding a fragment of a solidified time river.

Without any pause, Shennong’s right hand lightly waved the medicine hoe, his motions moving fluidly like waters, resonating with the rhythm of heaven and earth in a profound manner.

The life divine light at the medicine hoe’s tip wrapped around the "Agricultural Time Fragment" nearby, exuding abundant life and space fluctuation, like the most supple silk threads.

The fragment seemed to return to its mother as it was docily drawn by the divine light and fell steadily into his hand.

Two priceless treasures that incited the Dao Realm and Abyss to covet, and prompted this awe-inspiring siege, were now in hand!

The subtle law fluctuation generated upon obtaining the treasures was like a pebble thrown into a dead water pool, instantly breaking the battlefield core’s fleeting focus on "action," attracting the attention of all beings capable of thought.

The Jade Master was arduously resisting the erosion of the Immortal Stabbing Domain and remnant interference, attempting to find a flaw.

Upon seeing Shennong holding the Ring of Time, and the Agricultural Time Fragment wrapped in emerald divine light, his ancient face showed near-disgraceful shock and rage for the first time.

That Ring of Time was a treasured item of his Yuqing Secret Vault, captured "so easily" by the enemy in the absolute killing trap setup by his own side?

Master Xuanji’s eyes were about to burst as he, shaken to the core, was nearly swept by a spatial rift.

The Burning Prison Demon Commander was tightly entangled by Chi You, watching the Agricultural Time Fragment fall into Shennong’s hands, letting out an unwillingly savage roar, the flames on his molten rock body surging fiercely, yet unable to break through Chi You’s demon fist blockade.

The Soul-locking Demon Shadow’s illusory demon shadow fluctuated violently, unleashing a silent angry shriek against the surrounding space.

The Rotting Star Aggregation’s huge core eye glued to Shennong, filled with terror.

Meanwhile, Ao Lie, who barely stabilized his stance on the edge of the Courtyard of the End using the residual power of the Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike, was now in the most complicated state.

When he ventured into the battlefield, his heart ablaze with fury only wished to seek and shred Dragon Maiden Ao Spirit.

Yet, what was before his eyes was the vacuum left after Qingxu Xuan Immortal’s complete annihilation and the terrifying darkness domain enveloping the battlefield.

This scene, surpassing his imagination, even made this Elder of the East Sea Dragon Race feel momentarily dazed and bewildered.

His massive dragon body spiraled in the chaotic flow at the domain’s edge, searching with dark-gold vertical pupils across the chaotic battlefield for the Dragon Maiden’s presence, but found nothing.

Only Shen Fei, his Companion Spirit, and those from Yuqing and Abyss.

Upon seeing Shennong, under multiple layers of cover, traverse the space channel and easily retrieve the two treasured items.

Ao Lie was first stupefied, then a chill like a venomous snake rushed up his spine instantly!

No Dragon Maiden!

Only Shen Fei’s people obtained the treasures!

He was used!

A thought crystal clear and causing his scales to stand on end exploded in his mind like thunder.

That "exploration team," that strand of "resolute dragon qi," was an orchestrated plot from beginning to end! A meticulously designed trap using his hatred for Ao Qing’s death, utilizing his urge for revenge.

Dragon Maiden Ao Spirit was never in the Void Divine Realm.

Her target was never the Reversing Scale Soul Reviving Grass but rather, using him, Ao Lie, to tear apart formations and create chaos, facilitating Shen Fei’s acquisition of the treasures.

He, a dignified Elder Profound Immortal of the East Sea Dragon Race, had become a pawn and the most foolish but crucial component in the enemy’s scheme!

The key is.

He was embroiled in this Abyss and Yuqing’s killing attempt against Shen Fei, who is an important figure in the Human Emperor Palace, forced into involvement, if known by Dao Realm members.

He would be a traitor to the realm!

"Ao! Spirit!! Shen! Fei!!!"

Ao Lie uttered a cry suppressed to the extreme, mixed with surging hatred, boundless humiliation, and utter deception, a roar of rage.

This roar was not a dragon song, but more like the dying howl of a wounded beast.

The dark-gold dragon scales erected in extreme anger, the Sea-Sundering Dragon Spike in his tightly held dragon claw trembling violently, almost crushed by his sheer grip.
