Watching the Nether Divine Light soaring into the sky, a hint of peculiarity appeared in Zhang Jian’s eyes.
From it, he felt the power of the Divine Dao Authority.
Moreover, it was an extremely powerful force of Divine Dao Authority, related to the Death Dao Laws.
After all, he himself possessed the Tier Four Death Divine Authority and was more than familiar with this kind of power.
Zhang Jian instructed the two Yin Spirit Venerables of the Jun Tian Sword Sect to guide the citizens of Golden Deer City in retreating, while he transformed into a divine light heading towards Phoenix City.
He quite enjoyed this kind of excitement.
In Phoenix City, countless black whirlpools swirled below at that moment.
After Ji Ning rushed into the depths of Phoenix City, these countless black whirlpools began to spin fiercely.
One wave after another of majestic Nether Ghost Qi expanded, seemingly blotting out the sky and devouring all vitality.
A force of dark Divine Domain power unfolded, seemingly transforming into a pure Netherworld.
The dark Divine Domain power within coordinated with the whirlpools above, forming terrifying spinning tops. Ji Ning, with his powerful Dao Practice and numerous Saint King Secret Techniques, still found himself like trapped in a quagmire of mud, unable to find an exit momentarily in the face of this strange force.
But in an instant, an idea occurred to him.
A layer of intense earthy-yellow Divine Light burst forth around him, and a huge broadsword appeared in his hand.
As the sword light landed, it seemed as if immeasurable Sword Qi emerged from the massive broadsword in his hand.
A single strike, faintly containing the power of the Giant God Wu Ding Mountain Opening.
The ’spinning tops’ formed by vast amounts of Nether Ghost Qi instantly collapsed.
"Tier Three Immortal Treasure!"
In the darkness, a powerful ghost god adorned with countless peculiar purple-black mandala patterns all over his body watched the scene from afar. He had a handsome appearance, with skin as pale as snow, and eyes like dark wells without any whites. He wore a black Magical Robe, his eyes cold.
At the appearance of a Tier Three Immortal Treasure, he was somewhat surprised.
It was clear he hadn’t expected to encounter a Celestial Immortal with such profound resources upon his emergence.
However, being chosen by the Ghost Emperor as the vanguard, he was by no means a weakling.
He extended one palm, his body radiating immense ghost god light, merging into a Tier Three Divine Artifact in his hand.
"Soul-Catching Chain!"
Countless black lights burst out, dark rays resembling venomous snakes rushing at Ji Ning from every dark corner.
The Soul-Catching Chain collided with the giant sword in the void, the dark chains continually growing, like demon dragons trying to ensnare Ji Ning within the Netherworld Ghost Kindom from all directions.
The two engaged in intense combat.
The ripples of Heaven and Earth Laws stirred, tearing the void apart. Yet, despite the sword light repeatedly slicing through, Ji Ning could never cut through the chains, that appeared as numerous demon heads.
The Earth Law he commanded was also heavily suppressed.
Ji Ning gazed at the tornadoes formed by Nether Ghost Qi around him, a somber look in his eyes.
Within the Netherworld Ghostly Land, his power was suppressed, unable to fully exert himself, somewhat hamstrung.
If this continued, he feared he would be injured!
At the same time, he looked towards the depths of Phoenix City, where a gigantic dim portal had opened, spewing boundless Profound Yin Ghost Qi. Strong ghost gods from the Netherworld were attempting to cross over.
Upon seeing this, the Soul-Catching Ghost God sneered coldly.
"You Little Immortal, don’t delude yourself into opposing the grand momentum. Our Emperor’s arrival in this realm is inevitable; the Netherworld is this realm’s true destiny!"
Before Ji Ning could respond, a cold voice resonated from the depths of the void.
"Is that so?"
"The Great Xia Emperor has arrived!"
Hearing this voice, Ji Ning’s eyes couldn’t help but light up, a sigh of relief escaping his heart.
He knew reinforcements had arrived.
Having ’Divine Teammates’ arrive in advance felt incredibly reassuring to Ji Ning.
But instantly, he felt a strong, foreboding sense of premonition, quickly realizing the reason behind it.
In the heavens above, nine terrifying red lights exploded, suddenly slicing the vast Nether Ghost Kindom into countless sections.
Ji Ning had seen this terrifying red light pillar when Zhang Jian was undergoing the Celestial Immortal Tribulation.
It was the Solar Fission Breath.
The nine Heaven-Reaching Divine Fire Pillars sliced the Ghostly Land apart.
The Soul-Catching Ghost God immediately felt his soul tearing, being split into countless parts.
In a daze, his true body was exposed to the eyes of nine terrifying giant dragons, each spewing crimson flames. A figure stood atop one of the giant dragon’s heads.
Looking at this figure, the Soul-Catching Ghost God felt from the depths of his soul a sense of insignificance, like an ant.
He felt, at this moment, as if he was being targeted by an unimaginable deity, with a massive divine majesty descending upon his heart.
"This is bad!"
In his fright, he attempted to use his lifebound Immortal Technique to protect himself, but at this moment, he found himself completely immobilized.
Unbeknownst to him, a pure, clear cyan lotus appeared above his head.
The cyan lotus gently rotated, and suddenly, his mind emptied of all distractions, his Primordial Spirit Dao Heart involuntarily fell into a state of pure bliss, neither life nor death, his entire obsession melting away.
It seemed that only the thought of salvation for all beings remained.
He clearly felt this idea extremely unnatural, yet he was entirely unable to rise up in resistance, unable to escape the other’s suppression.
"How terrifying..."
This was his final thought as the cyan lotus gradually descended, entering his Mud Ball Palace.
