At the same time, Yi Wu and Chen'er exchanged a glance, boundless light spontaneously manifesting around their bodies.
One of them had an ethereal immortal aura swirling about her, with countless flower petals drifting down, immortal energy permeating the air—one flower, one world.
The other manifested a twelve-petaled lotus throne beneath her, divine lotuses blooming one after another in the void, accompanied by the gentle, crystalline sound of immortal springs.
Around the two women, it was as if an immortal realm was materializing, breathtakingly beautiful.
And this ultimate beauty was also matched by immense power. Streams of auspicious radiance shot forth, illuminating the boundless heavens and earth.
This auspicious radiance posed no issue for the Moon Hall experts; it could even replenish their expended energy. However, for the Soul-Restraining Hall experts, it was lethal. It could dissolve the God Devouring Chains and exerted a significant suppressive effect on the Soul-Restraining Hall experts' sinister, cold aura.
Moon Hall also possessed numerous battle formations and war weapons. A multitude of attacks erupted in an instant, their terrifying might directly annihilating the space between the Moon Divine Mountain and the dark hall complex.
In the sky, several prominent hall masters of the Soul-Restraining Hall watched Moon Hall's frenzied, extreme offensive with grave expressions. They, too, commanded the Soul-Restraining Hall experts to form battle formations.
Moreover, from within the boundless dark clouds came the incessant, clanking sound of chains. A great number of Soul-Restraining Hall experts emerged. Furthermore, from the dark clouds, one terrifying Fierce Beast after another, each as large as a mountain range, stepped forth. Their eyes were blood-red, all having lost their spiritual intelligence, leaving only berserk savagery.
Under the command of the Soul-Restraining Hall, these Fierce Beasts trampled through the sky, crashing thunderously towards the Moon Hall side, initiating a fierce collision.
Simultaneously, above the dark clouds, ancient coffins floated up and down. Their lids opened, and terrifying figures resembling vengeful ghosts appeared, exuding a ferocious, cruel aura...
The Soul-Restraining Hall's preparations were far more thorough than imagined.
The two great armies engaged in a shocking, massive collision. In the blink of an eye, numerous figures plummeted from the sky—some from Moon Hall, others from the Soul-Restraining Hall.
War was a massive meat grinder, sending countless experts from both sides to their graves.
Tremendous reverberations echoed across millions of li, witnessed by the entire world.
Outside the battlefield where the two great forces clashed, countless factions had gathered. Even experts from the five Ancient Path Overlord forces had come, and the Overlords themselves had all arrived.
The three Ancient Path Overlords who had fled in disarray before—the Chaos Overlord, the Original Sin Overlord, and the Primordial Beginning Overlord—were also present.
However, the other Ancient Path Overlords like Tai Yi, Huang Di, Wu Dao, and the Heaven-Defying Warrior did not mock the three Overlords for their previous flight. Having personally felt the Battle Saint King's heaven-defying combat power on the battlefield between the two realms, they deeply understood just how terrifying a peerless Great Emperor he was.
Even an ordinary Great Perfection Quasi-Monarch was no match for him, let alone them.
At this moment, gazing at the battle between Moon Hall and the Soul-Restraining Hall, all were watching intently, but none intervened.
They all watched quietly, even the Chaos, Original Sin, and Primordial Beginning Overlords. For they all clearly understood that under the assault of the Soul-Restraining Hall with such a lineup, Moon Hall was likely facing a dire situation.
What was strange, however, was that the Battle Saint King had not appeared.
Rumor had it he was in seclusion.
On the battlefield, a figure clad in black robes walked through the void as if no one else was present, heading towards the important halls of the Moon Divine Mountain.
The face hidden beneath the black robe was ordinary. If one didn't pay close attention, one might forget it the moment after seeing it. Therefore, not many paid him any mind.
A Super Great Power at the seventh heaven level, after severely wounding a sixth heaven Soul-Restraining Hall Great Power, followed up with an attack directed at this person.
Anyone from the Soul-Restraining Hall, no matter who, deserved death!
*Pfft—*
Soon, to the Moon Hall Super Great Power's horror, his attack dissipated on its own three zhang before reaching the black-robed figure, as if it had never been launched.
He immediately knew this black-robed figure was definitely a supreme expert and turned to send a message to Moon Hall's top experts.
But the next moment, his figure suddenly froze, then bizarrely exploded into nothingness, as if self-destructing...
This scene didn't attract much attention, for in the heat of the great battle, experts were falling and being slain almost every moment. A Super Great Power, placed within behemoths like Moon Hall and the Soul-Restraining Hall, truly wasn't much...
*Boom—*
The black-robed figure expressionlessly slapped out a palm, reducing a Moon Hall expert at the level of a six-tribulation Divine King to dust. A God Devouring Chain flew out, seized that Divine King's divine soul, and vanished into the black-robed figure's brow.
Then came another palm, shattering the three Moon Hall experts blocking his path into pieces, their divine souls falling, only to be captured and taken away.
With each of his strikes, Moon Hall experts would fall, and he maintained a terrifying record of one-palm, one-kill.
This phenomenon soon drew the attention of the experts on Moon Hall's side. Looking at this suddenly appearing, terrifying Soul-Restraining Hall expert, many paled.
A Quasi-Monarch?
Otherwise, how could he be so powerful? Even a super Divine King at the seven-tribulation level had not escaped being slain not long ago.
At this time, Moon Hall dispatched three nine-tribulation Divine Kings to surround and attack him, simultaneously unleashing Divine King Spirit attacks.
But this mysterious Soul-Restraining Hall expert's expression didn't change in the slightest. He simply clenched his fist, causing a large area of the void to collapse. The three top Divine King experts of Moon Hall were sent flying, vomiting great mouthfuls of blood like kites with severed strings.
"You shall become sacrifices too."
The Soul-Restraining Hall expert with the ordinary face spoke indifferently. Three God Devouring Chains shot out, swiftly charging towards the three Moon Hall Divine King experts.
*Clang—*
At that moment, Qian Xun appeared, intercepting the Soul-Restraining Hall expert's God Devouring Chains. His golden blood energy surged to the heavens like a divine sun furnace, his blood energy incomparably vigorous. He stared coldly at the mysterious Soul-Restraining Hall expert and said, "Who are you?"
As he spoke, he directly attacked, immediately unleashing the Battle Saint Technique.
"A Battle Saint? Not bad. My Soul-Restraining Hall also needs the bloodline of your Battle Saint lineage," the mysterious Soul-Restraining Hall expert spoke, a trace of emotion flickering in his tone, yet it remained cold and ruthless. He extended a hand, which appeared exceptionally pale and bloodless, like that of a corpse, and clashed with Qian Xun's Heaven-Shaking Hand.
*Boom—* *Pfft—*
Qian Xun's figure was sent flying. Brilliant golden blood sprayed from his mouth. He stared wide-eyed in shock at the person before him.
To injure him, a Battle Saint at the peak Divine King level, in a single encounter—even an ordinary Quasi-Monarch absolutely could not achieve this.
Who exactly was this person?
"Who are you?"
Qian Xun activated the Saint Body Regeneration Technique, immediately healing his injuries, which weren't too severe. But compared to that, this mysterious expert before him made him far more wary. He was definitely no ordinary Quasi-Monarch.
"Jiu You," the black-robed figure said calmly. "But the outside world prefers to call me the First Hall Master of the Earth Hall!"
