Chapter 6728 Divine Will
Black qi gushed out of Cang Lu.
The Bloodfiend Halberd in his grasp resembled the devil’s own fang, radiating a supreme demonic pressure that twisted the world’s colors.
Cang Lu’s aura raged out of control, tearing at the surrounding space. Spatial cracks spread one after another, as if this world could no longer contain his existence.
His attack killed over ten of the Golden Wing Heaven Devils. The rest reacted quickly enough to retreat, but even the residual shockwaves sent them vomiting blood.
“Ah, still a bit off...”
Long Chen glanced at the withered heart and sighed inwardly. If he had endured for just an incense stick’s worth of time more, Cang Lu would have fully absorbed it.
Without Cang Lu’s suppression over it, the withered heart was pulsing, as if it was restoring its heartbeat. The giant black spider in the sky started to tremble.
When the Golden Wing Heaven Devils saw that black spider moving, they howled in terror.
“Damn, they’ve disturbed the Dark Master’s divine will!”
In fact, their look of terror was more intense than anything they had shown before. It was a terror beyond that of someone facing death.
Just then, the heart vanished.
Long Chen clearly sensed it merging into the giant spider, becoming one with it.
“It’s you vile nine star heirs again. Die!”
The spider let out a malevolent roar. The spatial laws of this world shattered into chaos as a terrifying ripple spread from it.
“Defend!” Long Chen shouted.
He recalled Lei Linger and Huo Linger at once, while Cang Lu stepped in front of him, raising the Bloodfiend Halberd.
BOOM!
The ripple of berserk power slammed into them. Long Chen’s vision turned dark, but just before losing his senses, he heard the Golden Wing Heaven Devils’ resentful screams as their bodies were torn apart.
With a sweeping slash, Cang Lu split the oncoming ripple with the Bloodfiend Halberd. The residual power rushed past Long Chen, suffocating him with its pressure.
“Cang Lu absorbed ninety percent of the heart’s power... and the spider can still unleash this level of might?” Long Chen was shaken.
From the start, Long Chen had deduced that the beehive-like heart was linked to the statue of the Dark Master. Controlling the heart meant seizing control of the Dark Master’s vessel.
Regrettably, they didn’t manage to completely absorb all of its power.
“Die!” the giant spider roared.
Runes flowed around its body as it slammed its body toward Cang Lu like a war chariot.
In response, Cang Lu summoned his heaven-earth law manifestation. His black qi ignited into massive black flames as he swung the Bloodfiend Halberd down.
The Bloodfiend Halberd slammed into the giant spider’s head.
BOOM!
Sparks exploded outward, accompanied by a deafening explosion that nearly shattered Long Chen’s heart.
Long Chen’s heart shook. Even Cang Lu’s blow could not pierce the spider’s defense.
“As expected, it’s the same as before. The statue is the husk of some terrifying expert from the primal chaos era. But the original master of that body had to be at least a half-step Heavenly Sovereign!”
“Dark energy? Who are you?!” roared that spider.
That confusion made Long Chen frown. If this spider were truly the Dark Master, how could he fail to recognize the Dark Son?
BOOM!
Cang Lu answered with another devastating blow.
Since his aura was too chaotic for him to use divine abilities, he could only fight with brute force.
This time, the impact blasted the giant spider backward. Space behind it shattered like ice, its cracks spreading to the very edges of the world.
Suddenly, the runes around the giant spider flickered wildly.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes.
“Its power is stuttering. The heart is most likely too exhausted and cannot unleash divine abilities. This is the best moment to kill it! Cang Lu, attack!”
Long Chen could see the giant spider’s terrible state. That strand of a discarnate soul inside of it didn’t seem to have any power, and it could only extract the heart’s energy to activate the giant spider’s runes.
Worse still, it was unfamiliar with this vessel, and the heart itself was already drained. As a result, it did not manage to unleash a divine ability.
Just then, Cang Lu’s giant law manifestation rushed over, and the Bloodfiend Halberd slammed onto the spider’s head once more.
BOOM!
Heaven and earth shattered. That giant spider’s head caved in but did not crack.
Seeing this, Long Chen couldn’t help but feel shocked. It was just a husk, but its toughness was terrifying.
Enraged, the giant spider ignited the runes on its body. All of a sudden, strange diagrams appeared on the earth, spreading throughout the entire battlefield.
Long Chen’s body shuddered. The moment the diagrams reached him, he felt as though his soul were being torn from his body. Worst of all, he could not move.
Even Cang Lu was locked in place by an invisible force, his body trembling as he struggled to break free.
“Dark Sacrifice!” the giant spider roared.
Long Chen’s Yuan Spirit was ripped out of his forehead.
“This is the moment!” Long Chen shouted through gritted teeth.
Just then, Li Canghao appeared out of nowhere.
“Starry River God Slaying Slash!
His voice shook heaven and earth as a giant astral sword descended from the heavens, nailing the spider and the heart within it directly into the ground.
“DAMN!”
The spider roared furiously, thrashing wildly. Its legs stabbed into the earth like spears, ripping the ground apart.
Unfortunately for it, this astral sword was a manifestation of the Heavenly River Silk—a Heavenly Sovereign Dao Weapon. Its suppression was absolute, sealing the spider completely.
“You damn nine star heirs, just you wait! The Dark Master will soon descend upon the nine heavens and ten lands once more! Just wait for your death!” the giant spider roared.
Black qi suddenly oozed out of its body.
“Since you’ve come, don’t leave! Five Element Astral Chain!”
Following Long Chen’s shout, his Supreme Bone lit up. What little astral energy he had flew out.
At the same time, four astral lights shot out and converged on the Heavenly River Silk. The moment they fused, the light reflected outward, linking to the five-point star formation Xue Ying had set long before the battle began.
Just like that, a giant five-point star diagram covered the battlefield.
The earth suddenly collapsed, and countless vines burst out, binding the giant spider.
“Damn, it’s the World Destroying Ghost Vine!”
A scream of pure terror came from the giant spider.
