Although Yan Nanlai has regrouped with Kuang Heng, Lin Daohan, and the others, but the battle was still not in the favor of the Great Void Sect. Although they were still able to hold their ground, over at the battle between the Xuan Yi Holy Man and Qingluan, the situation was noticeably bad.

However, at this moment, Yan Nanlai could not afford to strengthen the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation or to support the Xuan Yi Holy Man.

Previously, the Supreme Heavenly Mirror was shaken by the Emperor of the Dead, almost causing the Great Void Sect to rout and forcing them to withdraw and focus on defense.

Right now, the Emperor of the Dead struck with full force, causing the situation to deteriorate even further for the Tai Yi Holy Man and the Supreme Heavenly Mirror in the Black Sea.

Compared with here at Mount Baiyun, the situation in the Black Sea was more urgent and more adverse for the Great Void Sect.

So, there was no need for Yan Nanlai to say anything else. Kuang Ning, Lin Daohan, the Qing Ning Holy Man, Fu Yunkong, and the others have all understood what he meant.

Yan Nanlai was not a person who would flee from battle or take the easy way out. Instead, he was already mentally prepared to commit the ultimate sacrifice; he was going to make for the other battlefield, to stop the Emperor of the Dead?s plan to seize the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.

Blood Soul Pacification Spell. It originated from the Primordial Age secret spell of the Human Satanic Way, the Blood Soul Grand Curse, and was inspired by the Demon magic, the Bloodline Inheritance Ritual. After study by Human masters of the Satanic Way, this savage and malevolent spell was created.

The principle was to capture Demons of lower cultivation levels and, using their Blood Essence and life as sacrifice as in tandem with other supplementary methods, curse and kill their direct blood relatives, Great Demons of superior cultivation but the same bloodline.

This was the product of the Humans? desperate struggle to survive in the age of darkness, in the Primordial Age when they were still extremely weak in strength. Extremely bloody, extremely savage.

When this spell first appeared, many Demon masters were caught by surprised and killed by it. Even if they weren?t killed on the spot, they would be gravely wounded.

Afterwards, when the Demon masters began to understood this spell better, they started to look for ways to counter it; some defend against it with special curses, or improve the inheritance of their own bloodlines and Demonic Souls with the Divine Original True Spirit Pattern.

Soon, the Blood Soul Grand Curse was no longer able to take effect. When the Antiquity Age came, after enhancement and improvement, this magic became the Blood Soul Pacification Spell and was able to be used on human cultivators. Afterwards, it was resolved by the Human masters as well. The way to counter it was spread widely; it was only then that the Blood Soul Grand Curse and the Blood Soul Pacification Spell started to decline.

As the Sect with the longest history in the Divine Lands, the Great Void Sect has retained some spells that have started to disappear in the annals of history. Although they were all archived and kept in storage, but who knows when one of them might serve its purpose and play an unexpected role.

At this moment, Yan Nanlai was going to use himself as the sacrifice to curse, and kill, his ancestor ? now an Evil Soul ? Yan Xinghe, thus neutralizing the crisis facing the Great Void Sect now!

If Yan Xinghe was still alive, this spell would naturally be useless against him. However, him being an Evil Soul now gave Yan Nanlai an opportunity.

Right now, not only were the Great Void Sect forces desperately hard-up, it was so for all of the Human cultivators of the Divine Lands. It would be exceedingly hard to defeat the Emperor of the Dead, who struck with great strength at a fortuitous time, with normal methods. Yan Nanlai?s plan now was already the most feasible strategy.

Kuang Heng looked up at Yan Nanlai and fell silent. He did not speak; at this moment, any language would appear hollow.

He held his palms together and switched through a series of arcane gestures, and streaks of Mana landed in the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

The Qing Ning Holy Man, Fu Yunkong, and the others did the same, not uttering a single word.

Lin Daohan gazed at Yan Nanlai; his eyes, usually calm as still water, finally saw some slight ripple. Yan Nanlai, though, was composed as always, only nodding in his direction. ?Daohan, you will have to handle the situation here. Stay calm, and do not be affected by me.?

Lin Daohan nodded. ?Yes, Master.? His hands formed arcane gestures as well, controlling streaks of Mana as they entered the formation.

The Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation started to operate thunderously. A bolt of brilliant light shot out from the center of the formation, flying into the distant horizon.

Outside the formation, Jingyan?s eyebrows flicked as the three long horns on his head glowed. Divine patterns started to emerge, like rolling fire in the sky. A streak of terrifying crimson light rocketed upwards, shooting towards the bolt of light emitted by the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

None other than Jingyan?s Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades!

The violent crimson radiance struck the bolt of light at the center of the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, slicing it directly in half!

Kuang Heng and the others did not waver; as they switched between gestures, the pillar of light rocketed up once more, penetrating the Void. Yan Nanlai?s figure formed white, flowing light, flying upwards along the pillar of light and towards the end of the Void.

Immediately, Jingyan launched another streak of Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades. The dark Void was dyed crimson; countless flames and light exploded, burning brightly.

Kuang Heng and the others let out a low cry as their Immortal Souls trembled violently, as if unable to maintain the human form.

However, the pillar of light at the center of the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation turned extremely bright and withstood the crimson Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades, sending Yan Nanlai away with the way of Void Flight.

Qingluan was enraged. Patterns of golden light expanded in the Void, attempting to intercept Yan Nanlai, but on the other side, the Xuan Yi Holy Man, his face grave, closed his palms together. White halos radiated outwards from his body, like ripples that blazed constantly.

The many halos stacked together as their power increased rapidly and continued to expand, assaulting towards Qingluan instead. Simultaneously, he flew quickly towards Jingyan and the other two Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Hades masters.

Qingluan let out a cold snort as the golden radiance formed a screen, blocking the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion again. At the same time, the three horns on his head continued to glow; a streak of golden light shot out from one of the horns, pursuing Yan Nanlai, sent away by the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation.

Yan Nanlai has no choice. On his left hand, the Great Void Seal flashed with arcane light as he unleashed the Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light to shield himself. However, blasted by the golden light, his entire person instantly shook violently.

Visible cracks appeared on the Great Void Seal on the back of his hand. A gauzy, misty rain of light seemed radiate from Yan Nanlai, like blood was blasted out of every single one of his pores.

However, resisting the pressure, Yan Nanlai did not halt as he penetrated the Void border and flew away.

Away from the battlefield, where the Hades Beasts were watching the battle, one of the Hades Beasts smiled, exposing his fangs. ?Where are you trying to go?? He transformed into a streak of light, chasing towards Yan Nanlai.

Beside him, a tall Hade Beast frowned. ?Ningfeng, although he has been heavily wounded, it would still not be easy for you to fall him.?

Qingluan said coldly, ?That man was escaping using the power of the formation. Even if Ningfeng could win, he would not be able to catch up with him.?

?Zhanming, bring Juanlong and go together with Ningfeng, and slay that man.?

Although they did not know why Yan Nanlai was risking his life to escape, but one should try their best to stop whatever it is that the enemy wants to do. That, was very simple logic.

Right now, the battle was still within the control of the Hades Tribe. They did not fear dividing their forces either; the Syncretic Star Soul level Hades Beasts have not joined the battle previously, just to be ready to pursue fleeing Great Void Sect cultivators at any time.

Hearing Qingluan?s order, one of the Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Hades Beasts attacking the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation together with Jingyan nodded immediately. With a wave of his body, he pursued in the direction Yan Nanlai and Ningfeng disappeared.

The tall Hades Beasts who admonished Ningfeng just now followed close behind as well, his body disappearing into the Void.

Kuang Heng and the others, commanding the Supreme Yin-Yang Void Formation, attempted to intercept Zhanming and the other two, but immediately, Jingyan unleashed a violent bolt of Brilliant Heavenly Energy of Hades. At the side, another Cardinal Tribulation Beginning Stage Hades master attacked as well.

Looking coldly at the Mount Yujing in the distance, covered by the jade-like clouds, Qingluan let out a roar of fury before turning and pouncing towards the Xuan Yi Holy Man. He raised one of his claws, lifting a cloud of golden gas and launching it towards the Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion.

The golden gas clouds spun incessantly, like a gold-colored black hole. The Xuan Yi Holy Man and the Great Void Holy Pavilion both felt their base shaking and tittering, like they were about to be sucked in by the cloud-like abyss.

Kongyuan stared in the direction of Mount Yujing as well, his expression ashen. His body flew backwards, temporarily leaving the battle, and stopped materializing his true form as well. However, the purple ring was still firmly affixed on his finger, suppressing and locking his strength.

At this moment, Illusory Sun Hades? gaze returned to calm instead. As Lin Feng was distracted just now, he strengthened his upper hand even more as violent demonic powers bore down on the Heaven-Destroying Sword Formation and Mount Yujing like a tidal wave.

Meanwhile, at this moment, in the distant Void, a streak of radiance flashed. The light dissipated, exposing Yan Nanlai?s figure.

He felt his Immortal Soul to be twisted and warped, unable to be restored.

What made Yan Nanlai?s heart sink further was that, he could vaguely sense that there were Hades masters in pursuit behind him.

Yan Nanlai calmed himself. As he rapidly streaked across space, his hands switched through a series of arcane gestures, already starting the Blood Soul Pacification Spell.

A streak of radiance shot out from Yan Nanlai?s forehead, landing in front of him. The light gold radiance started to condense, finally forming a golden crystal resembling a drop of water.

As his spell progressed, the golden drop started to change form. Its color changed from pure gold to bright red, gradually changing to the form of blood.

Within the blood drop, a strange rune materialized, emitting arcane yet savage waves of strength.

Yan Nanlai tapped gently with his finger, and the blood drop flew into the air. After a slight pause in the Void, with a flash, it flew in one particular direction.

?Still some distance…? The range of the Blood Soul Pacification Spell was limited, in addition to other constraints. Right now, guided by the magical instrument, Yan Nanlai travelled in the direction of the Emperor of the Dead and Yan Xinghe.

Passing through the Divine Lands, a thought came across Yan Nanlai. ?Previously, the Great Zhou Empire and the Great Qin Empire both added the Energy of Draconic Origin to my Sect?s Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces. However, when the Great Void Nine Heavenly Palaces were struck down by the Hades just now, thorough the Qi connection, the respective Energy of Draconic Origin focal points of the Great Zhou and the Great Qin ? Tianjing City and Xiling City ? must have received severe backblast.?

?The Great Zhou has the Imperial Palace of Emperor Tai and the Great Heavenly Wheels, it should still be able to hold up. However, according the previous news, the Great Qin has already lost the Immortal Dragon City…?
