"These great arrays... the positions they're laid out in…" Zhu Kun suddenly recalled something. His expression changed drastically as he exclaimed in shock, "The placement of these formations—when connected—actually forms another array!"
"Qian Renhan, be careful! This formation was supposedly created by one of the Soul Clan's Dou Di ancestors!"
"Not bad—you're quite perceptive." The Soul Heaven Emperor's gaze turned strange as he sneered coldly, "Indeed, this array was passed down by the first Dou Di powerhouse of my Soul Clan. Its name—Emperor-Slaying Formation! In ancient times, real Dou Di powerhouses once perished within it."
"Oh~" Qian Renhan's gaze swept across the devastated Dou Qi continent, and the corners of his lips curled slightly. "Come."
As the eerie blood blade appeared, even the dazzling sun in the sky dimmed. Heaven and earth gradually darkened, as if even the sun, moon, and stars feared the sinister blade!
"Soul Clan warriors, heed my command—sacrifice yourselves to the blade!"
At the Soul Heaven Emperor's sudden roar, over a thousand Soul Clan experts soared into the air from the Soul Palace. All were undoubtedly powerhouses of at least the Half-Saint level. Ever since the Soul Heaven Emperor had broken through to Dou Di, the Soul Clan's bloodline had been revitalized, and their cultivation had surged.
"Whoosh!"
The Soul Heaven Emperor's expression remained indifferent. As his hand seal shifted, the blood blade flashed. In the next instant, the Soul Clan experts, thousands of feet away, were decapitated in a single sweep. Blood sprayed wildly as their bodies withered at high speed, eventually turning to dust and vanishing into the void.
Absorbing the blood of these Soul Clan experts, the eerie blood blade grew even more solid and terrifying.
"Qian Renhan, it's over!"
The Soul Heaven Emperor's gaze burned with madness as he stared at the blade. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood. As the blood landed on the blade, a resonant, humming blade cry echoed from it.
"It is time. In the name of the Demon Emperor, I summon the power of all evil in the world. Obey my command!"
Qian Renhan's eyes snapped open. The massive black giant behind him unfurled its six enormous, jet-black wings, stretching across the entire Dou Qi continent. His thunderous voice, filled with overwhelming authority, echoed throughout the land.
The earth split apart as endless black mist surged into the black giant's mouth. Across the five great continents, the eyes of all living beings turned pitch black. One by one, streams of resentment were forcibly drawn from their bodies and gathered upon the black giant.
The Soul Heaven Emperor's face changed. He noticed that even the Slaughtering Emperor Ghost Blood Blade he had unleashed was releasing dense black mist that was being absorbed into the black giant. These were the grudges and curses of the countless lives he had slaughtered across Central Continent and within the Soul Clan.
The world is not simply black or white, but shrouded in shades of gray. This grayness is born from the greed, arrogance, gluttony, envy, sloth, wrath, and lust of all living beings—their endless negative emotions. These are the nourishment of fallen angels.
Having absorbed countless forces of darkness, the black giant's body expanded several times over. Even Zhu Kun's true form now appeared no bigger than a single arm in comparison.
"Damn it!"
The Soul Heaven Emperor's expression twisted, shock and dread rising in his eyes. He had sacrificed the entire Central Continent just to deal with Qian Renhan—yet he hadn't expected Qian Renhan to wield the power of all five continents against him.
"Sacrifice more to the blood blade!" the Soul Heaven Emperor roared again.
But this time, in response to his command, a wave of unrest swept through the Soul Clan army. Almost no one rose to obey.
"Traitors!"
Fury flashed in the Soul Heaven Emperor's eyes. With a swing of his arm, the blood blade sliced through the void and tore into the Soul Clan army. Crimson light flashed, and countless heads flew. In just a few blinks, nearly 70–80% of the Soul Clan had been wiped out. The few who remained stared at him in terror, their faces pale, yet all they received was the Soul Heaven Emperor raising his hand once more.
A trembling voice broke out—Soul Wind's.
"Father... even your own son? Will you kill me too?"
The Soul Heaven Emperor didn't hesitate for even a moment. The blood blade swept out again, and Soul Wind's body was sliced in two. The Soul Clan—completely annihilated.
Having absorbed the blood of so many powerful beings, the blood blade now seemed to grow a pair of blood-red eyes. They radiated endless killing intent and stared coldly across heaven and earth.
"Not bad. You killed your own son without a second thought." Qian Renhan looked at the Soul Heaven Emperor's actions with an odd tone—half mocking, half praising.
"Son? He was just a byproduct of my lust. As long as I live, the Soul Clan will never be destroyed!"
The Soul Heaven Emperor threw back his head and laughed maniacally. Then he spat out another mouthful of essence blood, grabbed the blood blade tightly, and allowed its razor-sharp edge to slice open his palm. Blood gushed out and was instantly absorbed by the blade.
"Die!"
With his hair wild and his expression savage, the Soul Heaven Emperor stepped across the void. The blood blade in his hand swelled suddenly. Without giving Qian Renhan a chance to gather more power, he appeared before the black giant. The blood blade turned into a streak of crimson light, tearing through the void and hurtling toward Qian Renhan under countless gazes.
"Realm of the Fallen Angel!"
Qian Renhan pushed the black giant forward, engulfing the Soul Heaven Emperor and his blood blade within it.
"Heaven-Transforming Emperor Refining Array!"
Qian Renhan roared, forming seals at lightning speed. Blood veins filled his eyes as his Dou Qi surged wildly into the black giant. Before everyone's stunned eyes, the black giant transformed into a massive pill furnace, its surface etched with countless profound runes.
"This is the Heaven-Transforming Emperor Refining Array! It was created by a wicked Dou Di ancestor from the Medicine Clan," Gu Yuan exclaimed, his face pale. "It's said that this Dou Di was obsessed with refining living beings into pills. Once, by rallying the entire Medicine Clan, he actually managed to refine a Dou Di into a medicinal pill!"
This black cauldron formation wasn't widely known, but Gu Yuan had read about it in his clan's ancient records. It had truly refined a Dou Di once—shocking the entire continent!
Who would have thought, tens of thousands of years later, they'd witness this legendary weapon again!
"This is bad…" Gu Yuan muttered, his face ashen. "The Soul Heaven Emperor sacrificed all of Central Continent and the Soul Clan. If Qian Renhan refines and absorbs him, his power will reach unimaginable heights."
"We can't let him refine the Soul Heaven Emperor!"
Gu Yuan shot toward the black cauldron. A violent gust of wind and shattered void followed him—only to be blocked by Zhu Kun's massive tail, spanning ten thousand meters.
"Gu Yuan—your opponent is me."
Inside the black giant cauldron, the Soul Heaven Emperor clearly recognized the artifact. He swung the Slaughtering Emperor Ghost Blood Blade with all his might, desperately slashing at the cauldron walls. Each strike left deep cracks.
