Chapter 1000: Rout


    The giant demon was created from all of the demonic energy the Eternal Life Demon Sovereign had gathered throughout his life, making it immensely powerful. It also had the unique attribute of being ethereal, allowing it to ignore attacks while still freely attacking the enemy.


    But as it sought to devour Tang Jie, the Sovereign de turned into a bronzentern which erupted with the light of the zing sun.


    This miniature nova of light instantly drove away the darkness, causing the demon to screech and wail as it melted away.


    Just like Tang Jie had used the bell to deal with the wind, he used the bronzentern to deal with the darkness demon. In this light, no darkness could exist, and the Eternal Life Sovereign could only wail, "How could this be?"


    He had already seen this sword transform into a bell, so how could it now transform into antern with different abilities? It was simply unbelievable. If this was simply an illusion, then how could it be so powerful?


    In the middle of his shock, he frantically summoned more ck energy in an attempt to resist.


    Tang Jie pped thentern, and the nova became a supernova, the light of a million tiny suns exploding outward and obliterating the demon.


    Tang Jie pulled his hand back, upon which thentern once more became a golden sword that shot straight toward Jin Tianya.


    But this attack missed. Jin Tianya hadn''t wanted to fight Tang Jie from the very start, so when Tang Jie had been ying Reverend Evil Cloud and the Eternal Life Demon Sovereign, he had already retreated. It wasn''t because he really thought that Tang Jie could defeat six Immortals at once, but because he was certain that if Tang Jie dared to attack, then he had something to back it up and ensure that he could survive against six Immortals, if not win. He had onlye here to get back his treasures and didn''t care about the oue, so he had no desire to fight seriously with Tang Jie and make an enemy.His selfishness had ended up saving one of his lives.


    Tang Jie was startled that his attack had missed, but then he smiled. "Quite kind of you."


    Jin Tianya blushed at the fact he was exposed so easily. Bowing, he said, "Daoist Friend Tang is formidable, possessing stunning cultivation. This one knows he is inferior and does not dare to contend against you. But I have a duty to carry out, so please forgive me."


    Tang Jie got what he was saying. "It''s fine."


    Reverend Evil Cloud happened to be reborn at this moment, and as he heaved a giant mountain at Tang Jie, he cursed, "Jin Tianya, just what are you doing?"


    Jin Tianya shrugged. "I swore an oath on the Heavenly Dao to assist you in this battle if you returned to me my possessions, but this oath didn''t say anything about helping you win, or fighting to the death. Once this battle is over, I will leave this ce and have nothing more to do with its conflicts."


    He fired off several finger sts at Tang Jie, but they were all nks, containing only the power of a mere Spirit Disciple.


    Everyone was stunned by his shamelessness, inwardly cursing him.


    Tang Jieughed and swung his sword.


    He was not merged with his original body, so two Immortals at once was still quite difficult. Jin Tianya not intervening made things much easier for him. He threw out the Sovereign de, which turned into a majestic silver river.


    If one looked closely, one would find that this silver river was actually made of countless different sword energies, each oneparable to the sword intent unleashed by a peak Celestial Heart cultivator. This vast river of countless sword intents descended from the heavens.


    Most terrifying of all was that this attack used the Sovereign de as its basis.


    Skyrend Swordfall was a ughter Dao Art, which emphasized lethality and unstoppability, and the Sovereign de was also an unstoppable weapon. The two put together made for a horrifyingbination.


    Reverend Evil Cloud despaired as his mountain was sliced into bits, though anyone viewing this from down on the surface would have been enchanted by such a magnificent sight.


    The sword river surged forward after ttening the mountain, slicing Reverend Evil Cloud into countless chunks.


    The Eternal Life Demon Sovereign happened to revive at this moment and was caught in the crossfire, dying again before he could even react.


    In the blink of an eye, the two Immortals had been in by Tang Jie twice, leaving the other Immortals stunned.


    The level of damage Tang Jie could inflict wasparable to the Lord of the Blood River. If the Lord of the Blood River was a peerless defensive expert, then Tang Jie was the peerless offensive expert. Р?Ν????


    While those two began to revive, Tang Jie had the Sovereign de transform into a three-footed golden crow, zing with light and heat as it flew toward the Lord of the Blood River. Just as thentern was the apex of light, the golden crow was the apex of mes, even containing the Origin me that Tang Jie had refined. As the golden crow ascended, it transformed into a sea of fire.


    This sea of fire was the counter to the sea of blood. By using the Celestial Eye to identify the weakness and then have the Sovereign de transform into the counter, Tang Jie had managed to take down his opponent every time.


    The Lord of the Blood River bellowed, and the Blood Sea churned once more. But he was already exhausted from dealing with Yun Tian and the six Earth Immortals, and if he hadn''t been able to draw power from the domain, he would have lost long ago. Even so, he had been just barely holding on, so Tang Jie''s attack was thest straw on the camel''s back. In a sh, the sea of mes vaporized arge quantity of blood.


    The Eternal Life Demon Sovereign and Reverend Evil Cloud finished reviving. The Eternal Life Demon Sovereign had an ashenplexion. Never before had he been killed like this twice in a row. He shot an angry re at Tang Jie and roared, "Heavenly Disaster Finger!"


    A grayish-ck finger shot toward Tang Jie, suffused with a chilling death energy that was clearly not to be underestimated. Tang Jie was unable to identify it with the Celestial Eye and only knew that he shouldn''t try to block it, so he immediately blinked away using Nearby Horizon. But the Heavenly Disaster Finger followed him like a shadow, ignoring distance to chase after him.


    Just when it was about to hit him, Tang Jie pulled out the Mother Cloudbat puppet. This was one of the cards Tang Jie was relying on in his battle against the six Immortals. After several upgrades, the Mother Cloudbat puppet could bepared to an Earth Immortal.


    The Heavenly Disaster Finger struck the puppet, and there was a bang as a ck energy invaded it. The formations on the puppet lit up to fight against the dark energy, and golden kes fell from its body, the Mother Cloud Essence Metal crumbling away under the Heavenly Disaster Finger''s power. But thebat puppet seemed to not feel it, raising an arm and punching forward.


    The Eternal Life Demon Sovereign yelped and waved his sleeve, summoning ck pirs of wind that howled about the void of space like raging ck dragons. As the sovereign of the Demon Gate, he possessed considerable strength, and he was now exhibiting his heaven-toppling demonic might. But the Mother Cloudbat puppet simply punched at those ck dragon wind pirs, and while they seemed simple, each punch could destroy a wind pir.


    The Blood River cultivators were well aware of how powerful the ck dragons of the Eternal Life Demon Sovereign were, and their eyes flew open when they saw this.


    On the other end, Tang Jie sent a wave of churning fog at Evil Cloud.


    It wasn''t some killing technique, but Tang Jie''s cultivation wasn''t to be underestimated, and Reverend Evil Cloud had already had the courage killed out of him. Rather than taking on Tang Jie''s attack, he chose to retreat, starting to seem more like Jin Tianya.


    Rather than give chase, Tang Jie unleashed a Ten Extinctions de at the Lord of the Blood River, the attack aimed straight at the core of the Blood Sea. Within the subsequent explosion of crimson fog were the sparkling blood-colored gems that were the essence of the Blood River. These gems were useful to even Earth Immortals, and all the Immortals wanted to grab them, but a hand appeared out of thin air and swept them all up before they had a chance.


    They turned and saw a giggling Xu Miaoran. "Thanks!"


    Her Limitless was the perfect art for stealing, and with Yun Tian and Tang Jie backing her, she had no need to fear anyone. Anyone else wouldn''t have dared to use such a skill. Fortunately, she didn''t go too far and ran off immediately after pulling off the heist, leaving the other Immortals helpless.


    The Lord of the Blood River bellowed in anger from being heavily wounded.


    s, it was impossible for him to turn the tables.


    Seeing Tang Jie easily maneuver among the six Immortals while he himself was slowly losing ground, the Lord of the Blood River finally realized that he could not stop the invaders. Since keeping the enemy out of the domain was no longer possible, he could only seek an opportunity within the domain.


    Even so, he didn''t forget to issue a threat: "My Blood River Domain isn''t a ce that you can just casually swallow up. If you''re smart, you''ll swiftly withdraw, or else we might have to destroy everything!"


    Yun Tian and Tang Jie frowned.


    To be honest, they found such words both scary and annoying.


    There were many capable individuals with all kinds of abilities in the cultivation world, so it wasn''t strange for things to go awry. Moreover, in terms of strength, while the Blood River Domain wasn''t as strong as the Rosecloud Domain, the gap wasn''t too big. If Yun Tian hadn''t advanced to True Immortal and Tang Jie hadn''t be an Immortal himself, the two sides would be practically on par. For the other side to have some means of burning the whole domain down out of spite wasn''t strange.


    Of course, it could also be a bluff. While it was easy to talk tough, in the end, few people could carry out such a thing.


    However, whether or not the Lord of the Blood River was telling the truth, Yun Tian couldn''t possibly give up. What was the Rosecloud Domain even doing if they were giving up after a few threats?


    Thus, Yun Tian waved his sleeve and said, "I''ll have to see it for myself."


    The Lord of the Blood River red at Yun Tian and Tang Jie and then let out a howl. But then he flew downward, fleeing from battle.


    As he fled, the Blood Sea dissipated, the skies of the Blood River Domain clearing.@@novelbin@@


    The Rosecloud Immortals naturally wouldn''t let him go and attacked him as one.


    But the Lord of the Blood River was the manifestation of the Blood River, and he had nothing if not an incredibly tenacious life force. No matter how much power one possessed, while they could stir up crimson waves until they reached the heavens, they couldn''t kill him and could only watch as he fled back to his domain.


    The Eternal Life Demon Sovereign and Reverend Evil Cloud also fled.


    If Tang Jie was willing to go all out, he could hold at least one of them back.


    But after some thought, Tang Jie intentionally loosened the Immortal-sealing formation, and with a bang, the three Immortals imprisoned within, the me Celestial Sovereign included, broke out of the formation.


    "We''re out!" a fiend Earth Immortal shouted in glee.


    The three of them immediately flew downward.


    This meant that Tang Jie "no longer had time" to chase down the other two Immortals. He bellowed, "Where are you going!" after which he and the Mother Cloudbat puppet each intercepted one Immortal, leaving the me Celestial Sovereign to escape back to the Blood River Domain.


    Jin Tianya received the same treatment. He had no interest in fighting, and Tang Jie had no interest in finding more trouble for himself, so when the Lord of the Blood River ran, Jin Tianya was the first to do likewise, at the same timeughing, "The battle is over, so my oath is fulfilled! From now on, I have nothing to do with all of you. I hope that all the cultivators of the Blood River Domain die protecting it, hahahaha!"


    He turned and flew out of the Blood River Domain.


    With this, the Blood River Domain had been utterly routed.


    Without the Blood River Immortals to stop it, the phantom Ning Beast let out a heaven-shaking howl and bit down at the Blood River Domain below. With one bite, it devoured a vast area of Domain Blood mes, which were ejected from its rear end into the millstone behind it.


    "Raaaa!" The one million cultivators in the rear roared as they pushed energy into the millstone, and as the millstone turned, it pulverized this power from another domain and transformed it into the most fundamental substance that was then absorbed into Rosecloud.


    The Ning Beast opened its mouth wide and went on a feeding frenzy on the Blood River Domain.
