Within that wave of abyssal energy, an incomparably vast will was hidden. Suddenly erupting, an overwhelming force of infinity fell upon the serpent sphere. Instantly, the sphere that had been continuously shattering and regenerating was forcibly consumed by this abyssal power and abruptly restored to its original state. At the same time, it bizarrely vanished from its original location and reappeared behind Thanos, slamming into him without warning.
This impact, surprisingly, did not produce a thunderous boom or any world-shaking destruction.Instead, it was eerily silent.
As it collided, the serpent sphere morphed into a strange black hole-like existence, akin to the reemergence of the abyss, frantically devouring Thanos. One could see, as he was being swallowed, countless black chains manifested, binding and restraining his entire body.
"Damn Thanos! Did you really think Hydra could be so easily suppressed by you? You're far too naive! Mere infinite power could never compare to the Abyssal Demon Mother! What a shame—this move was meant for Yi Tianxing. Now we're forced to use it on you. Die, Thanos!!"
A voice filled with bitter hatred resounded through the void from the black-robed figure.
The Abyssal Demon Seed hidden within the Demon God Weapons had originated from the Abyssal Demon Mother—an unfathomable supreme existence. When the abyssal will erupted, it revealed the strongest trump card of all Demon God Weapons. This was their ultimate killer move—capable of reversing the tides, of overturning fate.
Even infinite power could be suppressed before the abyssal will.Even Thanos had been devoured, sealed within the Demon God Weapons, forcibly consumed and refined.
However, trump cards are called trump cards because they are not easily used.
Even for a Demon God Weapons, deploying the abyssal will once required a hundred years of recovery. Otherwise, the soldier could not withstand the abyss and would collapse on the spot—shattering instantly.
This was a world-ending weapon meant to be unleashed against Yi Tianxing. Now used on Thanos, the black-robed figures all felt it was a loss. Their hearts were uneasy. Yi Tianxing had suddenly appeared, and even the Unseen Abyssal Dark God's situation was unknown. They were no longer confident.
It felt like events were spiraling out of their control.
"Hydra… I knew you rats wouldn't stay quiet for long. Now that you've dared to show yourselves, don't expect to escape again. Xuanhuang Sacred City, suppress!!"
Yi Tianxing spoke calmly, his thoughts moving with his words.
As he finished, one could see an invisible force of will ripple out, transmitted through a mysterious link. The very next second, from the void above, an overwhelming divine pressure descended like a tidal wave. This pressure was supreme and unstoppable, like a god-emperor of the heavens making his descent. In an instant, the entire battlefield was enveloped.
From within that pressure, a colossal immortal city manifested out of nowhere. Two characters — Xuan and Huang — gleamed on its façade, unmistakably clear. It was none other than Xuanhuang Sacred City.
"It's our Da Yi's sacred city! Amazing! Crush those demonic bastards! This is our Da Yi's territory, our Da Yi's world — how can we allow these Eternal Night fiends to run wild here?! No matter how fierce they are, in front of our sacred city, they'll still be crushed!"
On the Iron-Blood Great Wall, countless citizens and soldiers looked on with excited, proud expressions.
This was the Da Yi Sacred City that every citizen longed to enter — a symbol of glory and pride.
"Suppress!!"
Yi Tianxing's figure appeared within Xuanhuang Sacred City, standing high in the air, and without hesitation, gave the command.
Rumble—!!
Xuanhuang Sacred City acted without delay. Within, the eternal spirit Fairy Ruyi followed the command immediately. In the next moment, the colossal city descended from the heavens. Around the city, all sorts of divine phenomena appeared — dancing fairies, radiant light, sacred horns, and a tide of purple qi stretching thirty thousand miles. It made the entire city appear immeasurably noble and towering.
It hovered above the serpent sphere. Then, without any extra flourish, it pressed downward.
"Outnumbering us? Yi Sacred King, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word of this spreads?"
A furious shout echoed from within the serpent sphere, coming from the red-robed figure.
At the same time, their reaction was incredibly swift. Their body expanded at an impossible speed, instantly transforming into a titanic serpent sphere that blotted out the sky. From each of its nine snake heads, a divine beam of light shot out simultaneously, piercing toward Xuanhuang Sacred City — each one powerful enough to shatter the heavens and tear the void.
The destructive force was terrifying.
If it were any other Da Yi immortal city, even with protective barriers, the city would have likely been reduced to ruins in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xuanhuang Sacred City quaked violently. The attacks from Hydra were filled with destructive properties drawn from various natural laws. It was no different than facing a barrage from peak-level, transcendent beings.
But astonishingly, the tremors began to diminish — visibly and rapidly.The city quickly returned to its stable state.
Mystic Trait — Adaptation!
The city's mystic trait allowed it to absorb and adapt to destructive forces. Though the Hydra's nine beams were terrifying, they failed to break the city's defenses. After withstanding the first wave, the city's adaptation trait activated, absorbing elemental laws like metal, wood, water, fire, earth, poison, wind, thunder, and ice into its own structure.
On the walls of the city, one could even see these nine elemental forces forming runes and demonic patterns.
"Any power that cannot break Xuanhuang Sacred City will ultimately become part of its strength."
Yi Tianxing observed this transformation calmly, clearly sensing the sacred city's growing power — its inscribed Dao runes becoming even more intricate and profound.
"Impossible! We are supreme-tier Demon God Weapons! Even if Xuanhuang is a supreme immortal city, it shouldn't resist us like this! Why isn't there even a single crack?! Even the Infinite War Star cracked!"
The green-robed one shouted in panic.
"Something's wrong! This city must've surpassed the supreme tier… It's reached the Immortal Tier! Retreat! We must escape immediately!"The red-robed one quickly made a decision.
Although extremely well-hidden, they could faintly sense an indescribable immortal aura emanating from the sacred city.
Without hesitation, they activated the Void Grand Displacement Technique — a forbidden-level escape skill that could break through any restriction or barrier. It was their ultimate survival method.
Swish!!
However, the serpent sphere didn't vanish. Instead, it slammed straight into Xuanhuang Sacred City's foundation — as if it had directly teleported into the city wall.
"What's going on?! Weren't we warping to our prepared coordinates?! Why did we crash into the city?!"Red-robed screamed in disbelief.
"I lost control during the teleport — the destination shifted!"Green-robed said in horror.
"Same here — we suddenly lost control!"Black-robed added.
"Something's wrong! It's as if the spell… misfired!"White-robed said, his voice full of unease.
This kind of mistake should have been impossible.
And yet it happened — silently, mysteriously. The implications were terrifying.
"Trying to leave? Too bad — you won't be going anywhere."
Yi Tianxing spoke quietly.
Xuanhuang Sacred City — Mystic Trait: Loss of Control!
This was a new trait gained upon its upgrade.
Anyone who attacks the sacred city would risk being affected — not by direct damage, but by losing control over their own bodies or behavior, doing bizarre, inexplicable things without warning.
Clearly, that moment of teleport failure had been caused by the Loss of Control effect. Even a second of disorientation led to fatal error.
BOOM!!
With a thunderous crash, Xuanhuang Sacred City landed squarely on top of Hydra.
The immense power exploded forth, instantly crushing the massive serpent sphere into a rain of blood and shredded flesh.
"No! Burn the demonic blood!!"
Hydra's voices roared from within, attempting to ignite the abyssal demonic blood inside their bodies to unleash their ultimate power.
But—just as the ignition began—they lost control again.
They couldn't even self-detonate properly.
"Even if we die, we won't let Da Yi have it easy. Come — let's all fall into the abyss together!!"
Red-robed howled furiously.
Just as the serpent sphere was regenerating beneath the sacred city, it suddenly erupted with dense abyssal energy and exploded violently.
The Demon God Weapons — Hydra — self-destructed!
The terrifying force of annihilation swallowed Xuanhuang Sacred City completely. Countless black energies engulfed the battlefield. Even a wisp of that darkness gave the sensation of standing at the edge of an endless abyss — where the soul would be dragged down, never to return.
