Chapter 557: Hun Tiandi Goes Mad


    "Nine Lightning Cmity Palm!"


    "Burning me zing Sky!"


    Lei Ying and Yan Jin did notg behind.


    Gu Yuan and the restunched their attacks simultaneously, imbuing the world with a cold and piercing, murderous intent. Even very air seemed to solidify in response. The already eerie blood-brown ground became even more chilling, resembling the biting cold of a harsh winter.


    Hun Tiandi remained motionless, yet with a mere thought, his aura surged and rapidly escted. The sea of blood churned and blotted out the sky. The scarlet in his eyes intensified as he suddenly took a powerful step forward.


    <em>Bang!</em>


    The entire sky trembled as he took that step forward. The monstrous sea of blood churned wildly. It instantly turned into a huge blood wave that was tens of thousands of meters in size, ruthlessly sweeping towards Gu Yuan and the others.


    Beneath this towering blood wave, the figures of Gu Yuan and the others seemed as tiny as ants.


    The collision of the blood wave and the massive finger seemed to bring a moment of silence to this world. Then, the earth-shattering impact caused the blood wave to dissipate into a rain of blood that recoiled.


    The massive finger disintegrated, and the residual shockwaves shattered the attacks of Lei Ying and the others.


    "Blood Demon Heart Eroding Lightning!"


    Hun Tiandi pointed at the sea of blood covering the sky. The blood sea immediately shook intensely like a giant organ and violently shrunk!


    <em>Bang bang bang!</em>


    As the seemingly boundless sea of blood was shrinking, the space itself was also crumbling. Dark ck cracks in space spread across the sky at a terrifying speed. In the next instant, a blood cloud abruptly expanded.


    Countless mountain-like blood lightning crazily rained down in a frenzied tempest towards the few individuals below. The energy contained in each drop of blood rain was enough to make an ordinary Dou Saint pale with fear!


    <em>Boom!</em>


    After being caught off guard, Lei Ying was engulfed by the onught of lightning blood. His body, which had undergone numerous lightning tribtions, was unable to resist and exploded!


    <em>Lei Ying, dead!</em>


    Zhu Zhen, standing beside Xiao Ming, had his pupils shrink in shock when he saw this scene.


    "Hun Tiandi is unexpectedly this powerful! Your Majesty, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe excels in spatial maniption. This seal won''t hold this old man back. I''ll send you out first!"


    Xiao Ming was a bit surprised when he heard this. Then he smiled.


    "The Ancient Void Dragon Tribe''s mastery of spatial maniption is well known to me. However, the situation has not yet reached that extent. Back then, my Ancestor Xiao Xuan was unable to eliminate the invading Hun n even though he was in such a state. What strength does Hun Tiandi have to eliminate us? Break through the space barrier and return to Zi Yan. I''ll make sure to put an end to this."


    ...


    In the distance, Yan Jin quickly met the same fate as Lei Ying in the battle against Hun Tiandi.


    Gu Lie''s gaze shifted from Gu Yuan, who had shown signs of fatigue from the battle, to the still-mighty Hun Tiandi, and then to Xiao Ming, who had yet to make a move. His expression turned extremely grim.


    While he couldn''tprehend why Xiao Ming had not yet intervened, the dire circumstances allowed him little room for contemtion. With the situation as dire as it was, without a breakthrough strategy, the next person to die would be himself!


    As Gu Lie''s expression changed, it settled into one of resolute determination.


    "n Head, you go first!"


    With only those words left behind, Gu Lie charged at Hun Tiandi with an emotionless expression on his face. His aura suddenly surged immensely.


    "Trying to self-destruct? How naive!"


    Hun Tiandi immediately saw through his intention and showed a look of disdain. He fiercely pressed his palm down, and as he did so, a gigantic hand spanning thousands of meters appeared in the sky and crashed down heavily upon Gu Lie.


    <em>Boom!</em>


    A deafening explosion reverberated through the world.


    Gu Lie, an Eight-Star Dou Saint expert, was instantly reduced to a mist of blood under this palm.


    In the depths of the blood sea, however, a faint glimmer briefly appeared, silently absorbing Gu Lie''s shattered soul and carrying it away


    "Hun Tiandi..."


    Gu Yuan was filled with a mixture of sorrow, anger, and near madness. His Dou Qi converged as his hand seal changed rapidly. Finally, it turned into an ancient energy mirror that was tens of thousands of meters in size.


    "Ancient God Mirror!"


    "Grug!"


    Gu Yuan spat out a mouthful of essence blood the moment the energy light mirror appeared. The blood scattered into the light mirror. Immediately, light surged out of it.


    <em>Swoosh!</em>


    Gu Yuan''s expression twisted with madness as he changed his hand seals once more. Eventually, one could see the energy-light mirror trembling intensely. A pir of light that was tens of thousands of meters in size suddenly erupted from its surface. Even the air itself was destroyed wherever the pir of light passed!


    The massive light pir almost pierced the entire sky of the Hun Realm!


    "A futile struggle on the brink of death."


    Hun Tiandi''s expression initially darkened, then twisted into a sneer. He leaned forward slightly, his hands forming an imaginary grip as if holding the hilt of a sword or the handle of a de. A formless de gradually emerged from the void.


    He then inflicted numerous wounds upon his hands, causing blood to flow between his palms. The blood was so dense that each drop contained the energy of a One-Star Dou Saint.


    As the essence blood poured forth, the blood energy surrounding Hun Tiandi diminished, and his aura significantly weakened.


    "This is a technique based on our n''s ''ughtering Di Ghost Blood de.'' Enjoy it thoroughly!"


    Hun Tiandi''s blood-red hair scattered wildly. His face bore a ferocious and sinister expression. Stepping through the empty air, he appeared directly above the light pir. The blood de in his grasp swelled in size, and then, like a streak of crimson lightning, it pierced through the massive light pir!


    <em>ng!</em>


    A deafening sh echoed through the Hun Realm. A cataclysmic storm unfolded in the sky and ultimately crashed into the ground, gouging out a massive, abyssal chasm.


    The entire space of the Hun Realm seemed on the verge of tearing apart, showing signs of imminent copse.


    Gu Yuan struggled to hold on, but a blood shadow swiftly approached like a ghost. The blood de pierced his Dantian, destroying his reservoir of Dou Qi.


    Hun Tiandi cast a nce at Gu Yuan, a wicked smile curling his lips. His scarlet eyes gleamed with madness.


    "Gu Yuan, do you feel the gap between us now?"


    With his Dantian shattered and Dou Qi escaping uncontrobly, Gu Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, a sensation he hadn''t experienced in a long time.


    ''Forgive me, Xun''er... Your father won''t be able to fulfill his promise...''


    This was hisst thought before his body violently exploded!


    Hun Tiandi eyed Gu Yuan''s unconscious soul and raised his hand to extinguish it. Yet, in the next instant, he abruptly halted.


    "Why not continue?"


    Xiao Ming slowly appeared next to Gu Yuan and looked at Hun Tiandi with a look of pity on his face.


    "Are you feeling ufortable now? Heh, draining the Dou God Bloodline Strength from all the fellow members of your n does indeed elevate your realm. But in this state, your body won''tst long, will it? Let me guess, can you endure for only a quarter of an hour? Perhaps two?"


    "Xiao! Ming!"


    Hun Tiandi gritted his teeth in anger when he saw Xiao Ming. He had always been proud and arrogant throughout his life. Even the once mighty Xiao n had been buried by his own hands.


    After a thousand years of recovery, the power of the Hun n had reached its peak under his leadership. The Ling n and the Shi n had been annihted one after another.


    He had meticulously nned for every possibility, but he had never expected such a remnant of the Xiao n to emerge in the end. In just over twenty years, this single person with such monstrous talent had thwarted all of his carefullyid ns!


    Suddenly, a realization dawned on him. He remembered how effortlessly Xiao Ming had dealt with Nihility Devouring me during the great battle, and histe intervention now. A spark of insight, apanied by a jolt of rm, shed through his mind.


    "The earlier battle... you held back, didn''t you? All for the purpose of draining the strength of my Hun n and the other Three ns! You also want to dominate the Dou Qi Continent! How absurd! Gu Yuan was always so stupid. He was yed to this extent by a junior like you!


    Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow, but he didn''t deny it. He candidly admitted.


    "You are not stupid. I did indeed intend to weaken the strength of all four ns. The Dou Qi Continent is too chaotic, and I want to establishplete order. Depleting the strength of these Ancient ns, particrly the Gu n, is a necessary step. However, the Gu n honored the alliance agreement back then and sent the remnant soul of my Ancestor, Xiao Xuan, to the Heavenly Tomb. Therefore, I opted to save the souls of Gu Yuan and the others. It could be considered a form of fairness."


    "As for dominating the Dou Qi Continent? That was not my original intention. I must say, Hun Tiandi, your vision is far too limited."


    In the Great Thousand World, even though the Dou Qi Continent was a top existence among all the lower nes, it ultimately remained just that, a lower ne.
