Chapter 807: Chapter 826: Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire
The hall turned bright as day, and heavenly thunder appeared suddenly. Terrifying azure lightning was birthed out of thin air, causing the black jade crystal stone floor to turn extremely red, with exceedingly fearsome earth fire surging out.
Heavenly thunder and earth fire, a catastrophe from which there is no return. This is the heavenly thunder and earth fire within the Nine Nether Tower, reflecting even a trace of the Original Saint Power of the Western Two Saints. Even Quasi-Saints are greatly threatened if invaded by this heavenly thunder and earth fire.
Piercing screams echoed as the heavenly thunder and earth fire emerged too abruptly. Some weaker Heaven and Earth Evil Demons didn’t have time to react and were engulfed by the thunder and fire, their physical bodies charring and white bones exposed, emitting sounds of extreme agony.
The rolling thunder, the surging earth fire, countless Evil Demons rolled on the ground, their cries of misery continuously echoing. Only some of the more powerful Heaven and Earth Evil Demons barely withstood the annihilation by the thunder and fire, though their condition didn’t look good either.
The heavenly thunder and earth fire appear once every thousand years, and today happens to be that millennium period. Previously, the minds of Wutian and others were focused on Ye Xuan, barely remembering this matter, and now the sudden appearance of the thunder and fire caught them off guard.
The black-clothed girl’s entire body was engulfed by earth fire, with horrific thunder constantly striking her, causing her to let out a scream of trembling despair.
Fang Han roared loudly, forming the Heaven and Earth Cold Seal to strive to strike towards the black-clothed girl, hoping to help her resist the invasion of the heavenly thunder and earth fire. However, helplessly, these thunder and fire carried a trace of the Original Saint Power of the Western Two Saints, far from what a Quasi-Saint like Fang Han could extinguish.
The heavenly thunder and earth fire became increasingly terrifying, the black-clothed girl’s body already scorching; if delayed a few more moments, she surely would die tragically within the thunder and fire.
Suddenly, soft footsteps approached, and a figure walked leisurely amidst the thunder and fire. As this scene unfolded in Fang Han’s eyes, it left him dumbfounded, and then he suddenly shouted excitedly, “Heavenly Emperor Ye, please save my little daughter. I, Fang Han, will never forget the great kindness of the Heavenly Emperor and will repay it by being as loyal as a horse.”
Ye Xuan’s Buddha Light faded, and he appeared to be bathing in the heavenly thunder and earth fire. He smiled slightly and walked towards the black-clothed girl. What happened next made many Heaven and Earth Evil Demons burst into astonishment.
The heavenly thunder and earth fire engulfing the black-clothed girl’s body suddenly dissipated, as if Ye Xuan’s arrival was something the thunder and fire were extremely afraid of, moving to engulf other Evil Demons, turning the place where Ye Xuan stood into a safe vacuum.
“Tha… Thank you, Heavenly Emperor.” The black-clothed girl’s hair was already burned away, her body withered to extreme weakness. She lay prostrate on the ground, weakly thanking Ye Xuan, her eyes devoid of the previous arrogance.
“You should thank your father. If it weren’t for his promise to be as loyal as a horse to this emperor, how would I have saved you?” Ye Xuan smiled slightly, though his smile was extremely eerie, inducing a great sense of fear in the black-clothed girl.
“Heavenly Emperor, save me.”
“Heavenly Emperor Ye, save me, I don’t want to die.”
As Ye Xuan saved the black-clothed girl, the Heaven and Earth Evil Demons being swallowed by the thunder and fire cried out to Ye Xuan for rescue. However, to their despair, Ye Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, silent and unmoved, showing no intention of helping them.
“If you can’t even withstand this little bit of thunder and fire, then you really are a bunch of waste; what use does this emperor have for you?” Ye Xuan spoke with a smile, though his voice was extremely cold and poisonous, lacking any warmth of humanity.
Ye Xuan was by no means a benevolent person, and his entry into the Nine Nether Tower was not to save these Heaven and Earth Evil Demons. He sought powerful subordinates, and the appearance of the thunder and fire was perfect for selecting the strongest, while the weak could only die within the thunder and fire.
Strong preys on flesh, survival of the fittest. Ye Xuan always believed in this truth, so he calmly watched these Heaven and Earth Evil Demons resist the thunder and fire, with no intention of helping.
Time passed bit by bit until, after three days and nights had gone by, the thunder and fire gradually dissipated, and the Nine Nether Tower once again fell into silence.
Heavy panting came from everywhere, with piles of white bones on the ground, at least half of the Heaven and Earth Evil Demons direly dying in this occurrence of thunder and fire, while the remaining half panted heavily, all severely injured to various degrees.
“Ye Xuan, why didn’t you save them? They had already submitted to you.”
Suddenly, a Quasi-Saint with a snake head and human body angrily shouted at Ye Xuan. This person was among the top ten Evil Demons, and he had just lost over ten descendants to the thunder and fire. Now that the thunder and fire had dissipated, he could not contain his inner rage and roared at Ye Xuan.
Not only was this Quasi-Saint furious, but the other Quasi-Saint Evil Demons also looked unfavorably at Ye Xuan, even Wutian himself wore a very gloomy expression and looked at Ye Xuan with displeasure.
Clearly, Ye Xuan had the capability to save these Heaven and Earth Evil Demons, but he chose to stand by idly, how could this not cause Wutian and others extreme dissatisfaction?
“Are you lecturing me?”
Ye Xuan looked up at the Quasi-Saint with the snake head and human body, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
“Not good, retreat quickly!”
Suddenly, Wutian warned in alarm, but what followed completely left the Heaven and Earth Evil Demons present stupefied where they stood, shivering in terror.
Qiankun inversion, Void Movement, yet no noticeable action from Ye Xuan, only a palm extending out. The Heaven and Earth Laws of this world exploded instantly, a gigantic ghostly palm fell fiercely upon this Quasi-Saint’s head, and under his horrified gaze, Ye Xuan’s great destruction technique barreled down to suppress him.
The void shattered, the physical body burst apart, and under an exceedingly dazzling brilliance, this Quasi-Saint with a snake head and human body turned into a mist of blood, directly being scattered into oblivion by Ye Xuan.
“Do any of you have any opinions now?”
Calm as a breeze, untainted by smoke, Ye Xuan smiled looking at Wutian and others, his smile radiating extreme warmth, though to Wutian and others, it inspired extreme horror.
A Quasi-Saint, he killed a Quasi-Saint just like that, with no hesitation. Such brutal and ruthless means left Wutian and others in utmost fear.
However, this was not the reason for Wutian and the others to be shocked and afraid. The true reason for their fear of Ye Xuan was that annihilating a Quasi-Saint was not simple. Anyone who stepped into Quasi-Saint level had developed a True Spirit; as long as the True Spirit was indestructible, the Quasi-Saint could not die.
But what had they witnessed?
Ye Xuan with just one strike exterminated a Quasi-Saint, even the opponent’s True Spirit was suppressed in the void, which was utterly terrifying to the extreme.
