"Here is..."
Entering Bai Zihe's sea of consciousness, the white-faced ape was stunned.
What met its eyes was a scene of carnage.
A bloody setting sun hung high in the sky.
The earth and mountains were piled with bones!
A crimson ocean, gathered from fresh blood!
Millions of gods and demons roared on the mountains, and billions of ghostly soldiers wailed in the ocean!
Blood mist shrouded the heavenly secrets, and killing intent disturbed the firmament!
At the end of this mountain of corpses and sea of blood, a towering throne pierced the clouds.
On the throne, a figure looked down, like an invincible demon god descending upon the world, none other than the one he intended to possess.
Bai Zihe!
The white-faced ape was so frightened it sat down on the ground, large beads of sweat rolling down its forehead.
As if sensing its gaze.
Bai Zihe on the throne smiled faintly, "Welcome to my world!"
"This is..."
"A battlefield ruled by me!"
The white-faced ape knew it had run into a formidable opponent.
To form such a terrifying scene in the sea of consciousness meant that the opponent's consciousness and soul power had reached an incredible level, making them a true overlord!
Immediately, the white-faced ape tried to flee, attempting to escape this terrifying place.
"Since you're here..."
"You might as well stay!"
The words fell.
The sky of this asura world suddenly darkened.
A giant palm obscured the sky, grasping as if in a void. The white-faced ape's spiritual sense was involuntarily drawn in, crushed into nothingness.
In front of the tower.
"Pfft—"
The white-faced ape suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground lifeless.
This was the drawback of a soul controller.
Once the opponent's soul was too powerful, attempting possession rashly would result in a severe backlash upon failure, even death on the spot.
"I'm dying of laughter!"
Liu Qianxun had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She giggled, "You actually tried to possess a great demon? How dare you?"
Alas.
The white-faced ape would never hear her.
Yan Zhiyun's suspended heart also relaxed.
"Your Miao Jiang soul controlling techniques are nothing special."
Bai Zihe said with a calm and indifferent expression, his gaze sweeping over the Evil King, "What other tricks do you have? Bring them all out!"
"Useless trash."
The Evil King cursed with a darkened face, then retreated into the shadows, his hand landing on a hidden mechanism.
"Bai Zihe, I admit I underestimated you."
"But coming to my Miao Jiang to run amok, you've come to the wrong place."
Rumble!
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from high up in the tower.
The Evil King sneered, "Now, taste my meticulously prepared 'Giant Stone Array'!"
With that, he retreated.
Bai Zihe's gaze sharpened.
On the staircase, rows of carts appeared, each carrying a spherical giant stone, as tall as several men, secured with iron chains!
At the Evil King's signal.
The cart pushers untied the chains, tilted the carts forward, and the giant stones rolled down the stairs, aimed at Bai Zihe and his group.
Each of these stones weighed tens of thousands of pounds, combined with the force of a fall from dozens of meters...
Their power was truly immense!
An ordinary person struck by one would likely leave nothing but bone fragments, at most a smear of blood!
Even Bai Zihe frowned slightly.
Rumble!
Countless giant stones descended, arriving before the three in an instant, their sound deafening, their speed unparalleled, carrying a force that swept away all resistance.
"Be careful, everyone!"
Bai Zihe cautioned, then flashed aside, dodging the stone heading towards him.
Yan Zhiyun and Liu Qianxun also dared not be careless, seizing the moment of the stones' arrival, they dodged at the last possible second.
As for those giant stones...
They did not stop after rolling out, continuing until they crashed at the foot of the mountain.
For a time, the ground shook, and thunderous roars filled the air, as if the end of the world had arrived!
"Hmph."
The Evil King let out a cold laugh, a plan forming in his mind.
He had clearly seen from his high vantage point that Bai Zihe's strength was formidable, making it almost impossible for these giant stones to hit him.
The poison cultivator controlling the black shadow, though far inferior to Bai Zihe, had decent footwork and could likely dodge the stones.
But the remaining one was clearly weaker than the other two.
Furthermore, she had appeared pale during several evasions, clearly injured.
According to the Evil King's estimation, her current combat power was probably between the Postnatal Martial Master and Prenatal Martial Master realms.
"Giant Stone Array, target that one, and smash her to death!"
The Evil King pointed at Yan Zhiyun and commanded, a sinister smile twisting his lips.
Bai Zihe could dodge.
But if he dodged, Yan Zhiyun and Liu Qianxun behind him would be in danger.
Thus, Bai Zihe would have to make a choice.
Either they would be crushed to death!
Or he would have to catch the giant stones himself!
These stones, with their immense force, would be impossible for Bai Zihe to catch them all without injury, even if he were made of iron.
The Evil King could afford to make countless mistakes.
But if Bai Zihe made just one mistake, someone would die on the spot!
This was the Evil King's scheme.
An open scheme.
An unsolvable open scheme!
As the Evil King's order fell.
More than a dozen giant stones were pushed down again, carrying the power of heaven and earth, with the momentum of thunder, they pounced towards Yan Zhiyun, the weakest of the three.
This time, there were twice as many giant stones as before!
Bai Zihe bore the brunt of it, but he still dodged with ease.
"Come out!"
Liu Qianxun shouted, and the black shadow she had previously turned into a puppet appeared before her, helping to block the giant stones.
Either by altering the stones' trajectory, making it easier for Liu Qianxun to dodge, or by taking a hit itself, slowing down the stones' impact and speed.
However.
The puppet's physical body was incredibly strong, but still greatly inferior to the giant stones.
The first time it was hit by a stone, its hands and one leg were broken.
The second time it was hit, it was crushed into a pool of blood.
But at least.
Liu Qianxun managed to hold on.
Yan Zhiyun was different.
She was originally an assassin from the Netherworld Alliance, skilled in assassination and sneak attacks.
Such direct confrontation was not her forte.
Coupled with the Evil King's targeting, many stones were aimed at her, and she quickly found herself struggling and in peril.
Just then.
She dodged a giant stone, and unexpectedly, a large one came from behind.
"Not good!"
At the brink of life and death, Yan Zhiyun bit her tongue. The sweet taste of blood stimulated her. Yan Zhiyun gathered all her inner energy and painstakingly moved to the side.
Swish swish swish—
Cold winds brushed against her face, sending a chill down Yan Zhiyun's spine.
Fortunately, she managed to dodge this one giant stone.
But before she could even catch her breath, another giant stone appeared before her, its momentum immense and unstoppable.
It was a triple combination!
Yan Zhiyun was already at her limit, her inner energy depleted, and she despaired.
Today...
She was likely to fall here.
As death approached, she subconsciously glanced at Bai Zihe.
It was empty there!
Before she could comprehend what was happening, Bai Zihe appeared before her, leaving only his broad back.
"Seventh Senior Sister, be careful!"
As his voice fell, Bai Zihe raised his fist and punched towards the giant stone.
