His greyish pupils were emotionless, and they were releasing a fearful demonic mightiness. At that moment, grey clouds and a gloomy coldness filled the skies above heaven and earth.
Numerous horrified gazes came from the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy as the people peered at the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor. Despite not knowing his identity, judging by the domineering demonic aura that he exuded, they could tell that he was superior to all of the previous Demon Emperors. He was clearly a huge true-blue demon!
"Heaven Demon Emperor!" Northern Sea Dragon looked pale, and his body was quivering uncontrollably.
He could tell that the demonic figure on the skeleton throne was definitely a Heaven Demon Emperor. Not only that, but he was the most superior Heaven Demon Emperor!
This meant that he was equivalent to a top-notch Divine Grade Heavenly Sovereign! In fact, among everyone, including those in the Extraterritorial Race and the entire Great Thousand World, he belonged to the highest grade of them all.
These people had never expected that such a domineering existence would be a part of the demonic catastrophe that now faced the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy! At the moment, Luo Li, Xiao Xiao, and Lin Jing looked even more stern than before. They knew that the capability of the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was comparable to even the top-notch Divine Grade Sovereigns like Qin Tian and Green Shirt Sword Saint!
As he was sitting on the skeleton throne, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor fixed his cold gaze upon the three girls. His creepy voice, which was packed with an immense killing intention, projected out as he said, "Since our seven Demon Emperors died because of you, I'll kill every living being on this continent as retribution!"
Many students in the academy shuddered as they heard his words and sensed the tremendous killing intent accompanying them. After all, this killing intent from a top-notch Heaven Demon Emperor was too domineering for them to handle!
At that moment, a cold radiance flashed across Luo Li's bright eyes. With a calm voice, she said, "The reputable Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor is not fighting alongside our frontline experts from the Great Thousand World. Instead, you sneak up on us like a rat, targeting the weak! You're shamelessly disregarding your status!"
When the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor heard that, he lifted his eyes to meet hers and replied in a nonchalant manner, "War is about using unscrupulous tactics, after all. Thus, talking about fairness here would be a joke."
Upon receiving such a bold response, Luo Li knew that trying to reason with him was useless. Thus, she did not reply to his argument.
Instead, her eyes turned cold, and as she held out her jaded hands, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram, which was exuding a boundless spiritual energy fluctuation, emerged from it.
"If that is the case, I'll stop you right here." Luo Li's voice was chilling, and there was no fear in it whatsoever.
The Black Corpse Heaven Emperor tilted his head slightly as he stared at Luo Li with his greyish eyes. A mocking smile filled his face as he asked, "You?"
Luo Li looked composed and quite beautiful as she answered him softly, "I have already sent out a message. The formidable ones will take care of you as long as I can stall you for a while."
The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor squinted his eyes and sneered. "I'm afraid that you are making a ridiculous attempt that is destined to fail. You might not even be able to stall me for a second!"
Boom!
As his voice trailed off, the boundless demonic aura that was surrounding the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor swept out and transformed into a large, pale-looking hand. The hand then descended from the sky, smashing downwards toward Luo Li. The large hand, which was filled with a death aura, could erode all of the spiritual energy and deplete all of the vitality from all of those it hit.
Confronted by this attack from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, the facial expressions on Xiao Xiao's and Lin Jing's faces changed slightly. Given their current levels, they were clearly inferior to him.
As for Luo Li, she had to make use of the Clan Suppression Divine Artifact from the Great Spirit Ancient Clan, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram, before she could fight with him. Hence, Luo Li took a small step forward and opened the Ancient Diagram. As a flash of spiritual light darted out and rose into the air, it immediately transformed into an enormous Spiritual Umbrella.
When the Spiritual Umbrella unfurled, one could see that the ancient runes that were engraved on it had been bound upon it using a magnificent spiritual energy. In the face of such mystical power, even the Divine Heavenly Sovereign would need to look away!
Dong!
Suddenly, the large hand slapped the Spiritual Umbrella, accompanied by a loud clap of thunder that was heard across the entire area. The force caused a visible energy ripple to surge forth and stretch out almost a thousand miles.
Confronted by such a domineering palm, the Spiritual Umbrella vibrated violently before the spiritual light cracked. Eventually, the umbrella exploded into a sky full of stardust.
Despite the broken Spiritual Umbrella, Luo Li still managed to take on the domineering palm that had originated from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor. Upon seeing this, all of the people in the academy heaved sighs of relief quietly. After all, Luo Li was the only one here that could take on the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, and if she had been defeated, they would surely have been facing death at this very moment!
However, Luo Li's expression was not one of relief, but it was actually more grave than before. This was because, now that she had faced the palm, she could clearly sense the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor's immense power. Even though she had the strength of the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram assisting her, she was barely able to block his attack!
"You've got some skills!" the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor was somewhat surprised. As he chuckled softly, his dark laughter revealed his killing intent, which made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Since you want to protect these people, I'll kill them all right in front of you!" A creepy and ruthless smile lurked at the side of his lips.
He then drew a deep breath, inhaling a vast amount of demonic aura through his nose. Moments later, he blew a blast of air out from his mouth.
As that sticky demonic aura swept back out, it turned into a black rainstorm. Moreover, while the rainstorm was raining down from the sky, every drop of it contained a dark death power.
Sstz!
As the black raindrops fell onto the ground, the ground turned black immediately. Then, all of the mountains quickly declined and collapsed, while every bit of their vitality was taken away.
Luo Li looked terrified, as she sensed how daunting this black rain truly was. She knew that if it was to rain down over the academy, all of the students would die instantly. The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor's might was indeed ruthless, and it struck fear in everyone's hearts!
At this time, Luo Li did not dare to hesitate as she quickly formed a seal with her hands. As she did so, the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram slowly rose up into the sky. Then, beams of spiritual light whizzed out, forming masses of clouds that floated above the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy. These Spiritual Clouds were thick, as they had begun to gather all of the majestic spiritual energy in the area.
Sstz!
As the black rain continued to pour down, it collided with the spiritual clouds, giving off a sizzling sound. As the Spiritual Clouds floated through the sky, they were continuously being eroded by the rain.
But this time, even though there was no earth-shaking collision, the exchange of blows was even more vicious than before. Everyone in the academy was looking at the sky and shivering in their boots. They all knew that if the Spiritual Clouds could not hold off the rain, the entire academy would be doomed!
The Spiritual Clouds and the Demonic Rain continued to collide with each other, causing the vast amount of spiritual energy to rapidly deplete. Luo Li looked upon this scene and had an extremely solemn expression on her face.
She could sense that the spiritual energy that the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram contained was being consumed at a rapid speed. But, she did not dare let up or lose her focus, except to circulate the power in the ancient diagram.
As they watched this scene, everyone could tell that, despite her efforts, the spiritual energy that was being provided by the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram could not replenish fast enough to keep up with its energy consumption rate. As such, the thick Spiritual Clouds were getting more sparse by the minute.
As the Black Corpse Demon Emperor observed the situation with his indifferent eyes, the mocking smile on his face grew wider and wider. As more time passed, the Demonic Rain continued to descend and the Spiritual Clouds got more and more sparse.
Luo Li's face was getting paler by the second, but she gritted her teeth and refused to give in. As they watched this suspenseful scene, fear surged in the eyes of many of the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy's students. Their bodies also quivered with terror. Some of the more cowardly ones even broke down in tears.
Meanwhile, the Northern Sea Dragon and Chief Tai Cang stood beside each other and could see the bitterness in each other's eyes. When Luo Li and the other two girls had appeared, it had given them hope, yet that hope had now vanished completely.
Now, as they were facing this top-notch Heaven Demon Emperor, they did not even dare to try and flee. As Tang Qian'Er stood beside Wen Qingxuan, she watched the confrontation in the sky, an ashen look on her face.
Her jaded hand trembled as she pulled a jade talisman from around her neck. She then held it tightly with both of her hands.
Mu Chen had once told that she could smash the jade if she ever encountered any danger. However, she had not heard anything about Mu Chen for years, so she had no idea what situation he was in at the moment. Hence, Tang Qian'Er did not dare to take action recklessly.
"The Spiritual Clouds are dispersing!" Suddenly, someone screamed in fear.
This was because the layers of Spiritual Clouds in the sky were getting thinner. Eventually, they had completely dispersed right in front of everyone, much to their despair.
When the Spiritual Clouds dispersed, the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor laughed softly and looked heartlessly at the people. Then, with a swing of his robe, the magnificent demonic rain gathered together and transformed into a huge black ball of water. Within that water ball, a frightful death aura could be clearly felt.
"All of you are as good as dead!" the Black Corpse Demon Emperor shouted.
He then chuckled softly before flicking his finger. As he did so, the black water ball dashed out, while giving off an ample amount of death energy, so much that it would be able to wipe out all of the spiritual beings in the entire continent!
Tang Qian'Er quivered as she gritted her teeth and exerted great force with her palm. As she did this, the jade talisman that was in her hand broke into pieces.
Luo Li was looking pale in the sky as she saw the incoming black water ball charging toward her. She bit her lips and refused to retreat, and as she held up the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram with her trembling hands, she attempted to circulate the spiritual energy once again.
Luo Li knew that even with the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram, she still could not defend herself against the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor with her strength alone. As her slender and frail figure stood before such an ominous attack, the scene this meeting creating was quite melancholic.
At this moment, everyone in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy closed their eyes in desperation, silently awaiting their deaths. Shen Cangsheng, Li Xuantong, Wen Qingxuan and the rest sighed with despair.
"It's all over!" Chief Tai Cang said as he let out a helpless sigh.
Boom!
As the black demonic ball got closer to the academy, it exploded and transformed into a death ocean. When the waves from this ocean came crashing in, it would surely kill countless people!
Luo Li clenched the Great Spirit Ancient Diagram tightly, the spiritual light glowed out of it. It was clear that she intended to give her all in one final fight.
However, Luo Li suddenly had a surge of telepathic powers. Her body was shaking as she saw another spiritual glow gather in front of her. Mere seconds later, a slender figure slowly took form.
The slender figure stretched out his palm and gently grabbed that death ocean. Instantly, the death ocean transformed into a black crystal in his palm.
He then took out both of his hands and squeezed the black crystal gently. Immediately, the crystal was reduced into black-colored powder.
All of the people in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy watched this scene and were dumbfounded. Mere moments ago, they were filled with despair and were awaiting their deaths. No one had ever expected that the situation would take such a sudden twist!
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the slender figure that had just emerged from within the spiritual light in front of Luo Li. They all wondered… Who could this be? Who could counter the destructive offense from the Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor like this, without any effort at all?
"Who is that?" The Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor narrowed his eyes, while screaming angrily. He glared at the figure that was now glowing with spiritual energy.
Everyone was watching this scene with shock in their eyes. At this time, a crisp-clear laughter echoed throughout the universe, accompanied by a loud voice, "Black Corpse Heaven Demon Emperor, before you decided to wreak havoc in the Northern Heaven Spiritual Academy, did you think to ask my permission?"
It was Mu Chen speaking!
