Ying Luozha’s voice rang in everyone’s ears suddenly. Following his voice, a streak of bright blade radiance started to flash suddenly in the distance.

That streak of blade radiance was bright and eye-blinding. However, it was not attention-seeking. It was easy to ignore it subconsciously.

These conflicting qualities of the blade radiance was perfectly presented on it.

And this blade radiance flashed once before disappearing. In an instant, it had already disappeared.

Amidst the beetles, a huge Black Scorpion Beetle King started to howl frantically. It wanted to escape, but the streak of blade radiance wouldn’t allow it any room to escape.

As this Black Scorpion Beetle King howled, many Demonic General level Black Scorpion Beetles rushed up on their own and protected it. They were willing to take the blow for it.

But that blade radiance flashed fleetingly and passed these Black Scorpion Beetles before landing on the Black Scorpion Beetle King.

This Black Scorpion Beetle King was the leader of this bunch of beetles. Before the blade radiance struck it, it was still gathering the combined power of the beetles to cultivate the huge rune as a tool for resistance. But the blade radiance was too quick and managed to kill him. He could not react in time.

The immense demonic powers that this beetle concealed were unleashed suddenly. It was indeed more powerful than the rest of the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings.

The thick red light seemed to condense into a practical form that covered the body of this beetle. It was like a thick layer of armor.

The red light slowly condensed to form a weird rune. It was similar to the rune that the beetles formed earlier. However, it was much smaller than before. But at this point, the rune revealed an extremely powerful defensive strength.

But it was a violent struggle that was ultimately useless.

The blade radiance was shocking and faded immediately. When the blade radiance completely disappeared, streaks and streaks of blood already poured out of the beetle’s body. Its huge body had been pierced through and its demonic body and soul were both destroyed!

In the face of this sudden situation, the huge colony of beetles were all stunned. The reverberating noise that they made earlier became silence and the Heavens and Earth was filled with a weird state of quietude.

This colony of beetles were surrounded by void space and a streak of concentrated, black gas appeared out of nowhere. As it rose up, it appeared to be a vicious streak of smoke.

The black smoke dispersed gradually and revealed a youth who was tanned and thin. His facial features revealed his identity as one from prairies. He wore a purple costume and appeared to be calm, but his eyes were filled with a dangerous radiance.

He lifted his right hand and opened his palm wide. A streak of radiance flashed across void space. A flying, black dagger that was no longer than a feet flew out before returning to him.

The youth looked at the Black Scorpion Beetle King that had already perished and he grinned, “You’re not much stronger than the rest of the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings. You’re able to become the leader because of your blood lineage and status. Or is it because it’s natural that your tribe needs a leader?”

This youth was naturally Ying Luozha.

He hid himself among the beetles before this and they were all around him. Even when the beetles gathered to erect the formation, he was included within. But none of them noticed his presence.

As they saw Ying Luozha now, the beetles started to become confused amidst the silence.

Not only were they shocked, they were also panicking after losing their leader. But at this moment, most of the Black Scorpion Beetles leaped towards Ying Luozha. It was very frightening. They seemed like a tsunami that wanted to drown him.

Ying Luozha remained calm and did not panic at all. He wore a cold smile on his lips and watched them carefully.

At the instant that the blade radiance lit up, Yang Tie, Zhao Huan and the rest also acted decisively. They did not hesitate any further.

Yang Tie was no longer on the defense. He conjured a spell with his left hand and his right hand pointed towards the sky. Suddenly, a streak of black radiance flew into the sky.

An extremely brutal and violent aura surged in void space. As black light revolved, a 7 inch black iron shuttle revealed a bloody, killer aura.

As the First Disciple of the Heavenly Temple, Zhu Yi was given 2 Nascent Soul Stage magic items. Besides the Shield of the Turning Heaven’s Will that was used for defense, he was also given this Death Shuttle.

The Shield of the Turning Heaven’s Will strengthened Yang Tie’s already powerful defense.

Whereas this shuttle was specially used for offensive purposes.

The only use of this treasure was for destruction and merciless killing. Besides these, there were no other uses. Whereas its destructive powers was one of the most outstanding among all the Nascent Soul Stage magic items.

Yang Tie lifted the Death Shuttle and conjured a spell with his left hand. As he guided with his right hand, an engulfing black light covered the beetles.

Streaks and streaks of black light burst in the sky and killed the Black Scorpion Beetles one by one.

When Yang Tie was still in the Aurous Core Stage, the Death Shuttle was already very powerful when he summoned it. Now that he had already formed the Nascent Soul, he further improved the strength of this item.

The beetles were unable to set up their formation. The beetles that were of lower cultivations could only gather behind the Black Scorpion Beetle Kings to protect themselves.

But as he lifted the Death Shuttle, Yang Tie clasped his palms and whistled, “Forever-Bright Light, Forever-Bright Darkness. Beginnings of the Two Extremities, Rule Destiny.”

Streaks and streaks of black and white radiances flew out with him as the center. The black and radiances converted into a Mandala flower instantaneously and a huge spiritual altar.

Countless streaks of bright, piercing rays and countless dim and dark black lines intersected together. They formed the trajectory of the luminaries in the sky and formed an independent world.

This was inherited from Zhu Yi’s Great Boundaries of the Celestial Light and Darkness Mandala.

Under the pressure exerted by this Great Boundaries, the beetles found themselves in a more perilous situation. Whereas the lethality of the Death Shuttle was unleashed even more powerfully.

At the same time, Zhao Huan and the rest did not idle around too. They instantaneously turned defense into offense. With the lone mountain as the center, they unleashed all types of powerful moves that swept the entire Heavens and Earth. This wiped out the beetles in front of them.

Ying Luozha, who was originally the target of the maniacal beetles, was not the idlest person.

He twisted his lips and the spells in his hands changed. With him in the center, streaks and streaks of mana consolidated to form a purple radiance. In void space, they revealed a four-faced flag. Although it was only a projection, it seemed extremely real.

As Ying Luozha pointed with his finger, the radiance on this four-faced flag became brighter and brighter. Following that, streaks and streaks of radiances were projected in all directions. This caused devastating destruction of the beetles and waves of blood spurted out.

The Black Scorpion Beetles of higher cultivations had no lack of intelligence. Although the death of their leader left them confused for a moment, they recovered very soon after that. However, the different Black Scorpion Beetle Kings had their own group of followers, which divided the colony of beetles. They were not as united as before.

Although the colony of beetles were divided and the scale of each section of beetles was reduced gradually, they would still have the strength to counterattack if the new leader could combine the forces. However, this needed time.

Whereas Yang Tie, Ying Luozha, Zhao Huan and the rest were obviously not willing to give these Black Scorpion Beetles any time.

With just a little effort, the divided beetles were swept back like a tide as they were scattered in different directions.

If they followed their previous plan, Yang Tie and the rest still had to explore this alternate plane of space and search for different types of resources.

But now that they received news from Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan, they did not delay any further. After forcing the beetles back, they quickly exited the place.

Ying Luozha squinted his eyes and revealed a slightly curious expression on hi face, “Hades tribe? They have disappeared for more than 4000 years but now they have emerged again.”

Zhao Huan replied, “This is a warning from our Grandmaster. He can’t be wrong. I also heard that this generation of Hades leader has already reached the Second Tribulation of Destiny. There are also many other powerful Hades demons. They are indeed very powerful.”

After pausing for a moment, Zhao Huan continued saying, “According to the judgment of Grandmaster, the powers of the Hades tribe are greater than the dragon tribe without considering the powers of the Black Sea. They are the strongest tribe in the Barren Expanses now.”

Ying Luozha wore a weird look, “Then it’s not just the human clan that has to be wary of them. Even the demons, especially the dragons, will also have a dilemma because of them?”

Yang Tie answered, “It depends on the overall situation. Although the demons do take precautions against one another and treat one another as rivals, they can still team up together. Privately, they have many unspoken agreements.”

“To the demons, it’s a rare opportunity for the incomplete Supreme Heavenly Mirror to leave Mount Baiyun for the Black Sea. The dragons are used to being proud. It’s hard to expect what they will do.”

As they spoke, they had already left the alternate plane of space and returned to the Greater World.

Zhao Huan said, “Regardless of anything, we’ll discuss when we meet up with Master, Second Senior Uncle and the rest.”

Ying Luozha asked, “How is Master, Fourth Junior Uncle and the rest right now?”

Zhao Huan replied, “They chased the Sirius Grand Sage. But after receiving the warning by Grandmaster, they stopped and they are returning to the Mount Guxing region now.”

Mount Guxing is located near the passageway between the Divine Lands and the Barren Expanses. It was also where the demons resided. When the humans attacked earlier, the demons had already scattered themselves.

Ying Luozha’s expression turned slightly and he turned to Yang Tie, laughing, “If I’m not wrong, our comrades from the Purple Clouds Sect should be near Mount Guxing?”

Yang Tie seemed to have thought of something and revealed a bitter smile that was difficult to detect, “Yes.”

Zhao Huan, Sun Xue’er and the rest of the disciples that were closer all smiled too. Sun Xue’er laughed, “I heard Senior Shaolan is here too?”

The bitter smile on Yang Tie’s became more obvious now. He nodded his head and said, “Yes, she is with Elder Gu and Elder Li. She’s one of the few Aurous Core Stage cultivators from the Purple Clouds Sect that’s involved in this war. But she’s mainly a spectator and is rarely involved in the battles. The intention of Elder Gu and the rest is to increase her practical experience.”

Seeing his expression, everyone felt that something was amiss. They could not help but look at one another. Even Ying Luozha was also curious, “What’s wrong?”
