274: Strange black air, sudden changes

“Always resorting to dirty tricks, you vile dog, face your demise!”

“Don’t let me capture you, or I will make you guard the sect for ten thousand years as punishment.”

The Shangzong Expert’s chest heaved, truly angered by Big Yellow Dog. Indeed, poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people.

To the people of the Immortal Realm, this lower realm was incredibly barren, not much different from poor mountains and bad waters.

“Very well, I’ve also decided that if you fall into Dog Master’s hands, I will make you guard the Chang Sheng Sect for ten million years!”

Big Yellow Dog responded, clearly displeased, after hearing this.

“Chang Sheng Sect?”

“What big talk!”

The Shangzong Expert sneered. In this mere lower realm, someone dared to name their sect Chang Sheng? Even in the vast and boundless Immortal Realm, he had never heard of any being capable of achieving eternal life.

Perhaps the required cultivation realm was too high, something ordinary people like them couldn't reach, and only those great powerful beings of the Immortal Realm would know?

“Speaking of big talk, how could it be as big as yours, a big shot from the Immortal Realm? It’s bigger than a maggot in an outhouse. If you keep yapping, I’ll suppress you in an outhouse for ten million years!”

Big Yellow Dog snarled fiercely. The threat in his tone made the Shangzong Expert’s heart inexplicably tremble, and he strangely didn't respond further.

The two sides resumed their battle. The continent vibrated slightly in the process, and the sky was filled with terrifying aftershocks, with space constantly shattering.

Meanwhile, in the crowd, Liu Qingyue felt a bad premonition. She didn't ignore it, knowing it was her Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart acting up, issuing a warning.

This was also one of the abilities of her physique: to foresee the arrival of danger and discern the truth.

Her gaze began to sweep across the field, finally landing on Netherworld Great Emperor and the others, feeling that the source of the crisis was precisely there.

A hazy light burst forth from her body. She closed her eyes, then opened them again.

She saw a black line extending from Netherworld Great Emperor’s body, with the other end already approaching the Mandate of Heaven deep in the sky.

At this moment, it was already very close to the Mandate of Heaven. She immediately sent a voice transmission to Big Yellow Dog and the others in the void, warning them.

Boom.

Big Yellow Dog had already felt that something was amiss. After hearing Liu Qingyue’s warning, he cooperated with Fire Kirin and the other two to jointly repel the Shangzong Expert, then quickly looked towards Netherworld Great Emperor and the others.

The latter’s expressions changed drastically, not knowing what went wrong. Their actions were so covert, yet they were still discovered.

Their expressions turned ruthless, and the black line suddenly accelerated, coiling towards the Mandate of Heaven.

“Damn it, Dog Master is with you heart to heart, and you’re playing mind games with Dog Master?”

“We were kind enough not to deal with you first, and you don’t know how to be grateful? Trying to steal something is unforgivable!”

Big Yellow Dog cursed exasperatedly. They had already locked onto this Mandate of Heaven.

They were preparing it for Yun Xiao. How could they tolerate someone trying to snatch it away right under their noses?

Fortunately, Liu Qingyue discovered it early, otherwise, they really would have succeeded.

Big Yellow Dog manifested a gigantic beast claw horizontally in the air, swatting towards the few people, intending to forcibly interrupt their spellcasting.

The Shangzong Expert also looked furious. His mind had been focused on suppressing Big Yellow Dog and the others.

He hadn’t noticed anything amiss, but for the sake of sect contributions and rewards, this Mandate of Heaven could not be lost.

Netherworld Great Emperor and the four other great rulers were extremely anxious. Just a little more, damn it!

But seeing the situation, they couldn't complete this last step. They wanted to stop and first block the opponent’s attack.

However, an unexpected change occurred. Their bodies trembled, and at this moment, they couldn’t control their own actions. The origin power within their bodies was rapidly draining, flowing along the black line towards the Mandate of Heaven.

This!

Their hearts were greatly shaken. This origin power was cultivated using the forbidden art of the Chaos Eye, capable of resisting the erosion of time, and it was also the means by which they controlled many great emperors.

But at this moment, it was uncontrollably and rapidly draining, as if being pulled by something. For a moment, their hearts became flustered.

Just as Big Yellow Dog’s beast claw was about to strike their group, a wisp of black energy, as if the most evil in the world, materialized out of thin air, protecting them.

After this black energy appeared, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to crackle, appearing particularly repulsed, and its aura made everyone present extremely uncomfortable.

With the black energy’s obstruction, the black line successfully touched the Mandate of Heaven and quickly coiled around it, making it useless no matter how it tried to break free.

Subsequently, the aura of the Mandate of Heaven completely disappeared, as if covered by something. Immediately, the black line also withdrew from the bodies of Netherworld Great Emperor and the other great rulers.

Suddenly, the few people felt a void within their bodies, almost unable to steady themselves. Their aura rapidly declined, and their remaining vitality also began to drain away.

No, this is impossible!

The few people looked utterly distraught, their faces filled with disbelief. They knew that their greatest reliance was this origin power, which allowed them to overlook the continent for hundreds of thousands of years.

But all of this was stripped away in an instant, which they found completely unacceptable.

“No, stop, my Mandate of Heaven!”

Yun Xiao, in the corner of the crowd, cried out in anguish, his eyes splitting with rage and his heart aching.

But he could only watch all of this unfold, powerless to stop it.

“Hahahaha!”

Suddenly, a laugh carrying an incomparably sinister aura echoed, making everyone’s skin crawl and feel uncomfortable, as if something terrifying was about to appear in the world.

An extremely dense black energy suddenly surged forth, many times larger than the one just now.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth also violently boiled at this moment, like magma in a volcano.

A phantom figure slowly condensed, indifferently gazing at all living beings, representing ultimate evil, as if it could devour all light and hope.

What is this?

Everyone’s gaze was drawn to him, and an inexplicable fear, unprecedented, arose uncontrollably in their hearts.

“Damn, what the hell is this thing?”

Big Yellow Dog’s heart skipped a beat. The strangeness of the other party made even him feel a pang of alarm. His background must be immeasurably vast.

But one thing was certain: it was definitely not a good thing. Just its aura alone was enough to extinguish all life and annihilate all things.

Even the Shangzong Expert looked solemn, unable to discern the other party’s origin, his mind rapidly sifting through relevant memories.

But the most horrified were Netherworld Great Emperor and the other four great rulers, along with the numerous great emperor experts of the Chaos Eye.

They could clearly perceive that the origin power they possessed all originated from the other party. In other words, this black energy figure was the controller.

That meant all their schemes were being secretly pushed and driven by him.

At this moment, the Dao hearts of many great emperors were somewhat unstable, and what appeared before their eyes was a scene of darkness and desolation.

Netherworld Great Emperor’s expression was terrified, yet he still asked with a trembling voice, “You… who are you?”

“Quickly return our origin power!”

Oh?

Hearing this, the phantom black energy figure seemed to turn his head and glance at him, then smiled eerily, “Return it to you?”

“This was originally this venerable one’s possession, merely lent to you all for a time. Yet you dare to demand it back from me?”

“Utterly preposterous!”

“Considering that you all have provided this venerable one with quite a few uses, I will not bother with your offense this time. If you offend again, I will certainly kill you without mercy!”

His words were incomparably domineering, carrying intense negative emotions.

Just hearing them made people shiver, and the scene instantly fell into an eerie silence.
