However, from the looks of it, Zhu Jiu Yin had not displayed her full strength during the battle in the Void Land. At the very least, she had not used this Heaven Earth Net.
With her strength alone, she was able to restrain four Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage masters from the Cave Heaven Paradise. Zhu Jiu Yin definitely had the strength of an Eighth Order.
In fact, Ti Zheng was wrong.
Back in the Void Land, Zhu Jiu Yin had not held back at all. The only reason her strength had improved so much was because she was already comparable to an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but because she came from the Great Ruins Boundary, she needed time to slowly recover. Since the last battle, two or three years had passed. This time was neither long nor short, but it allowed Zhu Jiu Yin to restore some of her strength, which was why her performance was slightly better than before.
Four High Rank masters and more than twenty Mid Rank, including an Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation had been dispatched, but none of them had been able to kill Yang Kai immediately. Now that they had fallen into Zhu Jiu Yin’s trap, their figures were bound, and the expressions of Ti Zheng and the others were extremely ugly.
With a roar, a dignified voice rang out, “Fearless, Thoughtless!”
A torrential Demonic Qi surged as a giant Golem suddenly appeared behind Ti Zheng. This Demon Statue’s body was covered in long, narrow, and demonic eyes. There were probably more than a thousand of them, and each of these eyes was rotating rapidly, as if it was suffering from some kind of hysteria. The Golem also held a giant blade that was several dozen meters long in its hand, its brilliant might causing the universe to tremble and the void to collapse.
With the appearance of the Thousand Eyes Golem, Ti Zheng’s already terrifying aura soared even higher.
“Divine Ability Manifestation!” Old Bai called out.
Divine Ability Manifestation were things that could only be cultivated by a High Rank Open Heaven, and not every High Rank Open Heaven had this kind of ability. Those who could cultivate a Divine Ability Manifestation were the best of the High Rank Open Heaven.
How many people like Yang Kai, who had comprehended a Divine Ability Manifestation at Emperor Realm, how many had ever done so since ancient times?
Ti Zheng was a member of the Myriad Demons Heaven and had lived for so many years. He had immersed himself in the High Rank Open Heaven for tens of thousands of years, so it wasn’t surprising for him to be able to display a Divine Ability Manifestation.
As soon as the Divine Ability Manifestation appeared, it meant that Ti Zheng no longer held back.
At the same time the Thousand Eyes Golem appeared, the other High Rank Open Heaven also displayed their own Divine Ability Manifestation. Unlike Ti Zheng’s Thousand Eyes Golem, this person’s Divine Ability Manifestation seemed ordinary on the surface, just like a Spirit Peak floating behind him. However, from this Spirit Peak, an extremely rich and dangerous Earth Element aura could be felt.
The other two High Rank Open Heaven masters do not have Manifestation, but it was unknown whether they were intentionally concealing their strength or whether they were simply incapable.
However, it was likely the latter. After all, all of them had fallen into Zhu Jiu Yin’s Heaven Earth Net. Facing a terrifying existence like Zhu Jiu Yin, any reservations they had could be fatal.
However, although they didn’t have a Divine Ability Manifestation, the Divine Ability and Secret Technique they used were still terrifying.
The sound of clank is endless, Zhu Jiu Yin's eight claws are constantly swaying the spider silk, pulling the spider web, and controlling this world. When the sound is ups and downs, there are layers of ripples on the Thousand Eyes Golem and the Spirit Peak.
The Thousand Eyes Golem roared as countless black Demon Threads shot out from its countless eyes. These Demon Threads pierced through the void and shot towards Zhu Jiu Yin from all directions. Although Zhu Jiu Yin kept dodging, she was still hit by many of these Demon Threads and was instantly burnt to a crisp. However, she ignored them, as if she didn’t feel any pain at all. Thousands of spider threads transformed into sharp blades of light that pierced through the air and lingered around the four High Rank Open Heaven masters.
The Golem raised its blade and slashed down, severing several strands of spider silthreadk.
All of a sudden, Ti Zheng felt the pressure on him loosen, and in his joy, he wanted to break free from this Heaven Earth Net. But just as he leapt up, dozens of streaks of light shot towards him, shocking him so much that he quickly fell back down.
When he looked again, the broken spider thread had already recovered.
Ti Zheng’s heart was filled with hatred!
In the void, the light of Secret Techniques and Divine Abilities blossomed. Zhu Jiu Yin was fighting against the four Seventh Order Open Heaven alone!
In such a battle, even Yue He and Qu Huachang, who were both Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, couldn’t intervene, let alone Old Bai, who was a Fifth Order. The only thing the three of them could do now was to stand guard beside Yang Kai and help him block the aftershocks. Fortunately, they were in the center of the spider web, and most of the pressure was borne by Zhu Jiu Yin. Even if there were aftershocks, it wouldn’t be a big deal.
However, anyone could see that although Zhu Jiu Yin’s performance was extremely domineering, if they continued to defend for a long time, they would eventually lose. Moreover, the other party had the advantage in numbers, so it was really difficult for her to fight against four opponents.
Once Zhu Jiu Yin’s Secret Technique was broken, no one would have a chance to fight back.
Right now, their only hope was for Yang Kai to find the entrance to the Shadowless Cave Heaven as soon as possible and open it, allowing everyone to hide inside and recuperate.
In the midst of the battle, a miserable scream suddenly rang out, startling everyone who was fighting and causing them to turn their heads in that direction.
With just a glance, Zhu Jiu Yin felt relieved, while Ti Zheng and the others were furious.
The floating Shattered Spirit Province suddenly exploded, and soon after, more than twenty Mid Rank Open Heaven appeared from the Shattered Spirit Province, bombarding the Cave Heaven Paradise Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation.
These people had appeared too suddenly and everyone’s attention had been drawn to the battle in the Heaven Earth Net, so no one had been able to guard against them. By the time they noticed, it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, several people had died on the spot, including a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage.
“Who dares act so boldly!” Ti Zheng shouted angrily.
A sinister laugh rang out, “Your Black Crow Ancestor is here!”
The few High Rank Open Heaven masters were all shocked when they heard this, and Ti Zheng’s eyes went wide, “Black Crow Divine Monarch!”
How could this be? Why would Black Crow Divine Monarch appear here?
Back in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, this Black Crow Divine Monarch had killed many disciples from the Cave Heaven Paradise. When the Blood Monster Cave Heaven collapsed, news spread and the Blood Monster Territory's various Great Domain Gates had all been sealed, and anyone who entered or left would have to undergo a strict investigation.
For an entire year, the various Cave Heaven Paradise had expended countless manpower in order to find Black Crow Divine Monarch, but no trace of him had been found.
After the collapse of Blood Monster Cave Heaven, this person seemed to have evaporated.
This was an old monster who had lived for countless years, and he even had a secret like the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture on him, so the various Cave Heaven Paradise naturally wouldn’t let him off easily.
Ti Zheng was also paying attention to this matter, so when he heard the name ‘Black Crow’, he immediately understood the other party’s origins.
How did this guy escape from the Blood Monster Territory? How did he hide in Shattered Heaven? Where did he get so many Mid Rank Open Heaven masters? Ti Zheng couldn’t figure it out.
His heart sank. This was troublesome.
If it was an ordinary time, he would definitely be overjoyed to encounter Black Crow Divine Monarch. As long as he could capture this person, he would be able to obtain the mysteries of the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture. Moreover, how could this old monster who had lived for countless years not have any other secrets?
However, in this current situation, this Black Crow actually brought a group of people and jumped out. It was truly a headache.
Currently, the four High Rank Open Heaven were all stuck within the range of Zhu Jiu Yin’s Heaven Earth Net. Without killing Zhu Jiu Yin, there was no way to escape. Without their support, how could the people who were scattered around maintaining the Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation be a match for Black Crow and the others?
Like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, Black Crow led his subordinates and began bombarding the area. In less than ten breaths of time, he had destroyed four or five Open Heaven Stage master who had gathered here and killed all of them.
Black Crow pointed, “Kill them!”
Ti Zheng shouted, “Black Crow, you dare!”
Black Crow glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and sneered, “Then open your eyes wide and see if this King dares or not!” He was wanted by the Cave Heaven Paradise and had no choice but to come to Shattered Heaven to struggle at death’s door. Now that he finally had a chance to take revenge, how could he miss it? To him, his hatred for the Cave Heaven Paradise had already been sown. Killing one or a hundred doesn't matter, as long he can kill them all!
Behind him, the numerous Open Heaven Stage cultivators transformed into streaks of light and rushed towards the other end of the Formation. On the other side, there were also four or five Open Heaven Stage cultivators who were controlling the operation of the formation.
Seeing the enemies that were several times stronger than them rushing towards them, these people didn’t dare to stop and hurriedly dodged.
Seeing this, the other Open Heaven Stage masters gritted their teeth and abandoned the protection of the Great Array, quickly gathering together. If they were still concerned about the activation of the Great Array, all of them would definitely be destroyed by Black Crow and the others. At that time, none of them would be able to survive.
Only by gathering together would they have the qualifications to contend with the group of Open Heaven Stage masters under Black Crow.
The two sides instantly collided, causing the sky to darken.
Black Crow stood in place, a strange aura circulating around his body. The Blood Essence of the Open Heaven Stage cultivators who had been killed earlier was immediately drawn towards him and gathered around him. In the blink of an eye, a thick layer of blood mist surrounded Black Crow.
“Delicious, truly delicious. As expected of someone from the Cave Heaven Paradise, the taste of this Blood Essence is completely different from others!” Black Crow’s wild laughter rang out from the bloody mist.
The four High Rank Open Heaven masters trapped in the Heaven Earth Net were enraged. The Thousand Eyes Golem behind Ti Zheng released a series of Demonic Threads as it slashed down with its blade. The other man’s Spirit Peak Manifestation was even more nimble as it crashed down from the sky towards Zhu Jiu Yin’s True Body.
The four High Rank Open Heaven masters were trying their best to escape.
However, without the restraint of the Heavenly Astral Locking Spirit Formation, Zhu Jiu Yin’s strength had increased by another level, making it difficult for the four High Rank masters to escape.
At the center of the spider web, the most chaotic place was actually the most tranquil. The Space Laws on Yang Kai’s body surged, his hands constantly changing seals as he struck towards the void in front of him.
He could sense that there was indeed an unusual spatial fluctuation in the space in front of him, faintly exuding the aura of another world.
This was definitely the aura of Shadowless Cave Heaven!
As long as he could open this entrance, he would have a chance to find the Proprietress and bring her out.
