Chapter 1738: Nine Devil Kings of Sin

The dense and sticky corruption had enveloped half of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. The defensive lines bordering the Heavenly Star Plains soon met the Shadow World's onslaught. In an instant, countless shocking attacks filled the air as innumerable formations revealed their destructive prowess, constantly eliminating the Others.

If one were to look from above, they would see gigantic chasms opening on the ground like scars, and countless mountains and rivers being razed into flatlands. Even Kings rarely saw battles of such magnitude and destruction. The entire Heavenly Origin Divine Continent quaked under the pressure.

Qi Huang, Jiang Qing'e, Wang Xuanjin, Zhen Linshuang, and the Golden Winged Peng had solemn and slightly fearful looks in their eyes as they peered into the depths of the corruption source origin that filled the land. Nine devilish figures were inching closer. Wherever they passed, the stars would dim, as though they had been completely annihilated.

However, as the devilish figures approached the Heavenly Star Plains' defensive lines, the vast aura of corruption that surrounded them began to shrink along with their bodies. In just a few short moments, they all vanished, and all that could be seen was a single figure who appeared in the void outside the defensive line.

Qi Huang looked at the figure, his expression growing heavy. "Slaughter, Death, Famine, Madness, Illusion, Resentment, Fear, Pestilence, Gluttony. Pride was sealed by us. Those are the Nine Devil Kings of Sin. Their leader is Slaughter."

In the sky above was a handsome man garbed in white. A gentle smile hung on his lips, but his pupils were blood-red. Terrifying amounts of corruption imbued with the power of slaughter swept out of his body, filling the earth. This corruption was so overbearing that if an ordinary King came into contact with it, they would turn into a monster that only cared about killing.

The Slaughter Devil King of Sin! This was the strongest existence of the Shadow World beneath the Grand Devil Kings! The white-robed youth smirked, a gentle voice drifting out across the sky. "Radiant King Qi Huang, I've heard of your illustrious name for a long time."

Qi Huang's expression was calm, but he did not plan to reply to his opponent. The Slaughter Devil King of Sin resembled a human being, but beneath that skin was a monster that only spread slaughter wherever it went.

There was no room for compromise between the two parties, so why bother speaking? If it wanted to enter the Heavenly Star Plains and obtain the withering glory resonance, it would have to step over the corpses of all of the soldiers of the divine continents.

Qi Huang stretched his arm out, causing light to condense before him, transforming into a giant holy bell that let out a sacred chime. The soundwaves propagated across the world, dissolving the oppressive aura of the Nine Devil Kings of Sin.

The Slaughter Devil King of Sin ignored Qi Huang's icy indifference and grinned. "Your Excellency, why do you wish to resist? The divine continents are no match for the Shadow World. If you choose to lay down your arms and surrender on your knees, the Shadow World will not eliminate you. We will simply keep you in captivity to be a permanent source of negative emotions."

Bang!

In response, a series of strange formations appeared across the defensive line. These were previously great formations built to protect entire bloodlines and sects, now ingeniously weaved together to form something greater. The sun, stars, moon, mountains, and rivers seemed to all be integrated within the defensive line. This was an incredible wall that had been erected across the Heavenly Star Plains.

"Everyone, this is the Ten Continents Universe Rampart," Qi Huang explained. The Universe Rampart had been derived by the Heavenly Emperors behind the Academic Federation. When set up, it was an impenetrable shield. Even the Shadow World would have to pay a heavy price to destroy it.

"You foolish creatures are pigheaded, as expected," said the Slaughter Devil King of Sin, shaking its head helplessly. It then waved its hand, and spatial rifts opened up across the void, releasing a flood of Other Kings towards the wall like a tide.

The divine continents' forces were not willing to be outdone—their Kings rushed into the skies, crowns manifesting high above, devouring worldly natural energy and transforming it into source origin. They instantly launched their own attacks.

Similar spectacular battles between powerhouses broke out across the defensive lines. Qi Huang looked over the entire area, and he could sense eight horrifying figures emanating immense amounts of corruption source origin approaching the Ten Continents Universe Rampart. More importantly, the locations they were headed to were the weak points of the formation. The other eight Devil Kings of Sin were going to personally take action to destroy the defenses.

At that moment, the void split open and silvery frost sword energy swept out. "Golden Dragon Mountain has arrived a little late. I hope you can forgive us."

With Lu Taiyi at the lead, the people of Golden Dragon Mountain had arrived. Jiang Qing'e's attention lingered briefly on Lu Taiyi before moving onto a figure behind him. There was an elegant lady emanating a frosty aura—Lu Qing'er.

She could sense that she was almost akin to an icy sculpture, her emotional fluctuations so weak that they could barely be detected. "Has the Permafrost Sacred Seed evolved into a Genesis Seed?" Jiang Qing'e wondered.

Upon noticing Jiang Qing'e's gaze, Lu Qing'er raised her head and met her eyes for a moment before turning away.

When Qi Huang saw Lu Taiyi, he bowed slightly and his expression grew complex. "Elder Lu, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"If this weren't such a critical moment, we would not have activated Golden Dragon Mountain's trump card," said Lu Taiyi. Then he chuckled and continued, "There's no need to worry. We did not come empty-handed."

Qi Huang nodded, turned to the peak experts, and clasped his hands. "I'll leave it in your good hands, then."

At this point, Wang Xuanjin, Jiang Qing'e, Zhen Linshuang, the Golden Winged Peng, and Lu Taiyi all nodded. Their figures flickered and disappeared. Qi Huang then turned towards the Slaughter Devil King of Sin outside the defensive line, took a step forward, and crossed a distance of a million miles. He left the confines of the Ten Continents Universe Rampart and floated in the air.

A pungent and towering sea of blood churned below him. Within it was a mountain of bleached bones that floated up and down on the surface. The Slaughter Devil King of Sin grinned as it stood atop its peak, looking at Qi Huang with a gentle smile on its face. "Qi Huang, today is the day you'll die under the waves of this blood sea."

The response it got to those words was a grand sun, shining with dazzling light. The sacred rays of light tore through the sky and illuminated every corner of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent.
