Chapter 627: Blood Spirit Puppet!

A giant hand blotted out the sky, like the palm of a god, about to split heaven and earth. It was truly terrifying, capable of crushing all things and sinking the land.

The surrounding experts marveled endlessly—this was a fearsome divine ability that could even cause the earth to sink.

Below, the surging divine sea, fully three thousand zhang in breadth, heaved unceasingly. Golden seals, each radiating overwhelming might, combined to form a divine sea that resembled the earth rising and falling!

“Heaven-Annihilating Divine Seal!” Yang Tian roared inwardly. His palm suddenly struck the high sky, and the golden divine sea, radiant with ten thousand beams of light, boiled and rose into the void.

The giant hand fell like the vault of heaven; the mountains and seas rose and fell like the earth. A cataclysmic clash erupted before the eyes of all.

Boom! Heaven and earth trembled, as if a small world had exploded. Surging divine light splattered everywhere, and the entire void, like a great mirror, shattered with a bang.

A massive void storm was born, spreading in all directions at a terrifying speed. Everything it touched turned to ashes.

Distant mountains collapsed. This astonishing scene alarmed even Thunder City, as incredulous gazes fixed on the apocalyptic scene far away.

“Terrifying…” The crowd shuddered. The divine ability Yang Tian had manifested, combined with the Divine Demon Hand, created such a dreadful onslaught that it made their hearts tremble.

However, Yang Tian’s attack was extremely fierce, but his mastery of the Heaven-Annihilating Divine Seal was incomplete, and his cultivation level was vastly inferior to that of the Great Divine Son.

As if the world were being created anew, the Divine Demon Hand gained the upper hand, crushing the golden mountain-sea until it exploded. The remnant of the giant hand shot toward Yang Tian’s head with incredible speed!

Yun’er’s heart leaped into her throat. The speed was terrifying; in an instant, it appeared above Yang Tian’s head.

Suddenly, strands of cyan flames descended from heaven and earth, scorching and dreadful. The entire void boiled. The cyan heavenly fire, like divine blades, sliced through the giant hand, reducing it to ashes.

A mysterious expert had made a move. The onlookers’ expressions changed. The flames permeating heaven and earth were so fearsome that, even from a great distance, they caused people’s flesh and blood to wither.

Strands of cyan smoke shattered the giant hand, then swiftly wove together into a three-legged golden crow. Spreading its wings, it soared into the clouds, a thousand zhang tall, radiating dazzling golden divine light as it charged directly at the Great Divine Son’s body.

“So you finally show yourself!” The Great Divine Son bellowed at this attack. A terrifying aura emanated from him, causing the heavens to tremble. A vast, pitch-black radiance instantly flooded heaven and earth.

The three-legged golden crow was fearsome, its divine essence astonishing. Wreathed in terrifying divine flames, its great claws tore through the pitch-black light curtain and charged straight in.

The pitch-black light curtain stretched ten thousand zhang. Within it, a cataclysmic clash erupted. Scorching cyan smoke flowed like a world of magma, constantly blasting apart patches of the light curtain.

Yang Xiao’s body suddenly appeared in the void, holding an unadorned ancient tripod. The Mountain and River Tripod burst forth with a dazzling divine light, exuding a terrifying divine might that seemed ready to pierce through heaven and earth!

A fearsome artifact had emerged. All around, powerful artifacts trembled, as if paying homage, worshiping their god.

“All artifacts bow… Could it be…” Even the several quasi-emperors were no exception, their faces full of shock as they stared incredulously at the Mountain and River Tripod.

With a bang, Yang Xiao moved with incredible speed, giving no one time to contemplate. The Mountain and River Tripod, like ten thousand great mountains shifting, radiated a hazy divine light that illuminated the ages, directly dispersing the ten-thousand-zhang pitch-black divine radiance and crushing toward the Great Divine Son’s head.

“Not good!” The Great Divine Son’s expression changed. He had not expected Yang Xiao to have concealed so much strength in their previous encounter. The attack shattered his protective divine light, and the fearsome artifact made his heart tremble.

With a bang, the Mountain and River Tripod was terrifyingly powerful, directly shaking the Great Divine Son until he coughed up blood. His manifested clone twisted violently, nearly dispersing!

“Pfft…” The Great Divine Son was severely wounded, blood streaming from his body. His form rapidly dimmed, and the aura emanating from him greatly diminished, as if he were about to dissipate.

“Damn it, kill him!” The Great Divine Son’s eyes turned icy cold as he roared.

As his words fell, a black shadow appeared between heaven and earth, exuding a terrifying怨气 (resentment). It resembled a god of death, devoid of any life force, wrapped tightly from head to toe, impossible to see clearly.

"Necromantic Puppet!" Seeing the black shadow appear, Yang Xiao's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he murmured to himself.

This was an extremely sinister method. To refine such a puppet, one needed to nourish it long-term with human blood essence, extract all its resentment, and add some kind of terrifying refining material.

This dreadful puppet required the slaughter of countless living beings to complete, and it had to be nourished daily with blood essence—a killing weapon!

In ancient times, the demon race slaughtered humans in great cities to refine such killing weapons. Many human heroes became nourishment for the necromantic puppets, hence the intense resentment.

The necromantic puppet silently arrived before Yang Xiao, its metallic-luster hand reaching directly for his head.

Clang! Yang Xiao swung the Mountain and River Cauldron, striking wildly. The entire world echoed with deafening roars, rumbling endlessly in the void.

At that moment, Yang Tian's body moved instantly, the killing intent in his eyes surging. He soared into the air like a roc, vast divine light surging forth.

Seeing Yang Tian charging, the Great Son's eyes showed a trace of displeasure. He had just been severely wounded by Yang Xiao, and this clone was about to dissipate.

"Since you seek death, I'll grant it!" The Great Son's entire body trembled violently. The sky boomed, clouds scattered, and he struck out with a palm, brilliant light dazzling as if piercing heaven and earth.

Yang Tian was fearless, his body radiant with chaotic auspicious colors. He threw a punch, making the void tremble, and met the Great Son's fist, exploding a region of space.

"Kill!" Yang Tian's black hair wildly danced, his robes clanging. His surging divine power was fully displayed. A great black demon sword slashed down from the sky, a thick sword aura aimed at the Great Son's head.

"Get lost!" The Great Son roared, his voice like thunder. A black sun was bellowed forth, erupting with dazzling light, shaking the sea of swords in the void and striking at Yang Tian.

"Suppress!" Yang Tian shouted deeply. A divine diagram descended from the sky, directly suppressing the black sun, and emitting blazing divine flames that burned the black sun into wisps of green smoke.

The Star Divine Diagram suppressed heaven and earth, filling the world with streaks of cyan divine light. The entire void solidified like a swamp, making movement difficult.

Yang Tian activated the Wind-Calming Pearl, and at the same time, the Diamond Ring attacked directly. A single strike could shatter a great mountain, causing heaven and earth to ring incessantly.

The entire world boiled over. Nine layers of starry rivers fell, as brilliant as the Milky Way, engulfing the Great Son.

Yang Tian's aura blazed intensely, his body radiating boundless blood energy like a divine furnace burning. He charged straight in, like a humanoid beast, swinging his fists at the Great Son.

"Damn it!" The Great Son was enraged. Severely wounded by Yang Xiao earlier, his strength had greatly diminished, and this was just a clone that had rushed over, with no artifacts to activate.

Yang Tian's Star Diagram was already terrifying, now sometimes sword energy soaring to the sky, sometimes flames leaping, sometimes chaotic beams shaking the world, unleashing vast divine might. Yang Tian's diagram had reached the minor achievement level!

The entire battlefield was stained with blood. Thundercloud Sect's losses were also heavy, but the attacking side suffered the most terrible losses—rivers of blood flowed, and many human experts were shattered.

Long Yang had been trapped by Yang Ba in the All-Heaven Killing Formation. His strength was already formidable, and the Buddha light he emitted greatly suppressed Long Yang's power, giving him the upper hand.

Yang Xiao and the necromantic puppet were evenly matched. This puppet had been passed down from ancient times, its body extremely hard. Even the Mountain and River Cauldron's collisions could not shatter it, under the premise that the divine object had not been awakened.

But with Yang Xiao's strength, he could only awaken the divine object's power for a few breaths, to be used only when saving his life.

"Qianyuan Dao Sound!" A terrifying roar suddenly exploded across heaven and earth, like a true word descending from the nine heavens, ringing in the ears of those around!

"Ah..." Some people's bodies exploded on the spot, shattered by Yang Tian's roar. Large numbers of experts fell, most coughing up blood.

The Thundercloud Sect group was invigorated, instantly pouncing on and killing their enemies, shaking down one figure after another.

In the layers of starry rivers, the Great Son's body trembled violently, his entire form twisting, about to explode. His face was twisted in ferocity.

"You are courting death!" The Great Son's fury blazed, his body dissipating.

At that moment, a blood-colored talisman suddenly appeared from his crown, emitting a fluctuation that made all beings tremble, as if a peerless evil being was sealed inside.
