Chapter 1414: Xiao Yan Controls the Netherworld Sea
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Xiao Yan revealed his Virtual Entity, which was circled by flame. Blueish-purple Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and black Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze appeared from all corners of the Netherworld Sea and gathered around Xiao Yan.
The two terrifying types of fire took the shape of wings behind his back, one blue and one black.
The size of this wing could not simply be described as ‘big enough to obscure the sun’. As the wings extended, they seemed capable of covering the entire Netherworld Sea and incinerate everything that they could touch.
By maximizing the power of these two types of fire, Xiao Yan appeared even more ferocious and powerful. His entire body was shrouded in blue and black. No one could see how he really looked like. He resembled a fire god that came from Hell.
When everyone saw what had happened, their gaze faltered. The Emperor of the Undead and Shen Tuze shook their heads quietly and thought, “We tried our best to interfere, but his cultivation of the Netherworld Sea is way ahead of ours. He can already tap on the powers of the catastrophes in it.”
Even as they thought about that, the facial expressions of the Emperor of the Dead and the others did not change. The Emperor of the Dead used his hands to conjure a spell gesture and pointed in the direction of Catastrophe as he tried to inject more of his supernatural awareness into it.
He looked at Yan Xinghe, who was by his side. Yan Xinghe’s expression was calm and neutral. At this moment, he took a step forward.
As he stepped out, the entire Netherworld Sea trembled a little. Time and space appeared to separate. On one side, the world seemed to be wrapped in Xiao Yan’s fire wings. On the other side, the many catastrophes were actually resisting Xiao Yan’s wings, allowing the Netherworld Sea to regain its original look.
Gold light and white clouds appeared. An independent divine world appeared in the Netherworld Sea, which resembled a patch of calm in the tumultuous Netherworld Sea. One could hear the non-stop singing of the gods from it.
As he saw Yan Xinghe used the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise, one of the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, Xiao Yan asked curiously, “Oh, can you not use your Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light after you have been turned into an Evil Soul?”
While he felt that it was unusual, Xiao Yan had no intention of holding back. The purple wing, formed from the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Flame, waved in mid-air and bombarded Yan Xinghe mercilessly. The violent aura caused the other calamities, such as the Blood River Primordial Water and the Nine Nether Drought, to temporarily retreat.
Yan Xinghe, who was before him, was unable to use his Cheng Heaven Great Void Celestial Light. While he had been turned into an Evil Soul, his cultivation still reflected his status as one of the most powerful human cultivators of the Divine Land.
The Shen Heaven Holy Paradise slowly revealed itself. Everything that took place inside was controlled by Yan Xinghe.
However, Xiao Yan was able to use a huge amount of his Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire. Its tyrannical powers were unimaginable.
The Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire was the most destructive of the Seven Legendary Primordial Fires. Under its powerful blueish-purple flames, space collapsed and time stopped. Spirit was destroyed and all forms of matter were reduced to ashes. Its terrifying power was without equal and impossible to resist.
As Yan Xinghe performed numerous spell gestures with his hands, the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise continued to change and morph, dodging and attacking Xiao Yan.
If the Emperor of the Dead did not try to control him deliberately, Yan Xinghe would not care about his own safety. All he cared about was how to defeat Xiao Yan.
As he manipulated the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise and his Dimension-less Transformation, he appeared to have merged with the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise as if he was no longer in this world.
However, the Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire was powerful indeed. Where the fires touched, they were able to burn through the void and obliterate all forms of existence. Not only was it able to destroy anything that was real, it was also able to destroy everything that was illusory. Anything surrounded by the flames was in trouble.
However, Yan Xinghe’s facial expression did not change despite his predicament. He remained calm and steady as he continued to deal with the attacks from Xiao Yan’s Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire. He gently flicked his finger, and instantly, many different rays of golden light flew into the sky.
These golden rays of light danced in the void and turned into colorless treasure light. The light fell like rain above Xiao Yan’s head.
Xiao Yan did not move. However, his other wing, formed from the Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze, quickly retracted to cover his head. When the colorless rays of treasure light landed on the black wing, they were like raindrops from the heaven. They steamed and then disappeared.
The black wing that covered Xiao Yan’s head was like a sea of black fire, devouring anything that came close.
However, after it had devoured the Yan Xinghe’s attack, the wing made from the Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze became even more terrifying and dominating.
When Yan Xinghe saw this scene, he quickly tried to change his tactic. Next, one saw a white pillar of light appearing in the Netherworld Sea. It pierced through the heaven and earth like a pillar that stabilized the heaven.
This was the Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar, which specialized in stabilizing all forms of evil. Where the light pillar touched, the violent Netherworld Sea became evidently calmer.
Since cultivation, Xiao Yan had many dealings with the Great Void Sect cultivators. He had seen the Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar many times.
However, the Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar he saw today was the most powerful one he had ever seen. This spell, in Yan Xinghe’s hands, appeared to have been perfected completely and was different compared to other Great Void cultivators. Compared to the Great Void Nine Heavenly Spells, it was in no way weaker. Instead, it seemed to match its surroundings perfectly.
Xiao Yan looked and saw that the white light pillar was full of runic carvings. The pillar of light became more and more solid as if it was turning into something with form.
Using his naked eye, the white pillar appeared almost as large as Catastrophe.
The violent and terrifying Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze, under Xiao Yan’s control, suddenly turned into a dragon. Its body was green but it blazed brightly with the Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze and gave off a black smoke.
The green dragon coiled around the white pillar. Its body contracted tightly and the white pillar of light started to shake slightly. Bits of white light was extracted from it and the demon fire from which the dragon was formed from became bigger and bigger.
However, the carvings continued to shine on the white light pillar. The Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar stood strong.
Xiao Yan’s two wings of fire enveloped the sky and around his Virtual Entity, more and more Nefarious Spectral Primordial Fire and Heaven Apocalyptic Blaze congregated, making his body taller and taller.
He walked toward Yan Xinghe, the Emperor of the Dead, the Golden Cicada, and Shen Tuze. With every step that he took, more and more fires gathered underneath his feet, making him appear even taller.
At last, his two wings of fire disappeared. What replaced it was a giant thousand of meters high. His entire body was purplish-blue and cloaked with an armor made from black fire. The facial features of the giant were covered by a black face mask and only a pair of eyes could be seen.
The giant’s eyes were milky-white. They too were made from fire, the Pure Yang Primordial Fire.
However, the Pure Yang Primordial Fire did not burn forth. Instead, it remained in his eyes.
The fire giant walked slowly on top of the light ring. Soon, he appeared before Yan Xinghe. Then, he slammed a palm down on him.
The Shen Heaven Holy Paradise above Yan Xinghe’s head started to tremble non-stop. Yan Xinghe used his Flow of Light and Space and tried to move the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise. At the same time, he used his Supreme Evil-Suppressing Pillar once more as he pinned down the hand of the giant.
In the next instant, the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise shone even brighter. Yan Xinghe did not retreat but advance instead. Quickly, he closed the distance between Xiao Yan and him.
As golden light shone, the world made from white clouds shifted too. At first, it was as small as a speck of dust. Then, it became as big as Xiao Yan as it tried to smash down on him.
However, Xiao Yan’s giant form disappeared.
Actually, Xiao Yan shrunk himself. He did not return to his previous size of 30 meters, but instead, he returned to his normal human size.
His Immortal Soul Second Level powers were all on his body. Thanks to Shi Tianhao’s Two-Phase Rotations Divine Stone, Xiao Yan was able to alternate between his physical body and his Immortal Soul form.
After he entered the Immortal Soul Second Level, while he was unable to split into two forms like Shi Tianhao, he could use his Virtual Entity to showcase his many spells. At the same time, he could put his power into his physical body like other Martial Way cultivators to make it more powerful.
Right now, Xiao Yan’s entire body steamed with power and strength. Not only was his Immortal Soul Second Level powers inside, the power of the Netherworld Sea was injected inside too.
He exhaled and punched out at the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise. He wanted to utterly destroy this kingdom of heaven.
Yan Xinghe looked at Xiao Yan and his gaze was flustered. He had experienced hundreds of battles before, but the power Xiao Yan revealed was enough to shock even him. Even if his powers were enhanced by the Netherworld Sea, they were still impressive.
For a cultivator to endure the calamities of the Netherworld Sea and then use it better himself, he must have a certain level of cultivation.
Without anyone telling him, Yan Xinghe knew that while Xiao Yan was only in his Immortal Soul Second Level, his powers exceeded other cultivators of that level.
Xiao Yan’s powerful and apocalyptic punch smashed Yan Xinghe’s Shen Heaven Holy Paradise, leaving a hole in it.
This hole expanded quickly. The space near the hole also showed many signs of dimensional tears.
The golden world quickly disintegrated, starting from that hole. That one hole was enough to cause the many calamities of the Netherworld Sea to attack it too and worsened it.
As he directed Yan Xinghe to battle with Xiao Yan, the Emperor of the Dead observed the situation while he continued to try and infiltrate Catastrophe. As he tried to un-do Xiao Yan’s cultivation, he was only trying to limit the amount of assistance it could render him.
When he saw that Xiao Yan wanted to engage Yan Xinghe in close combat, the Emperor of the Dead waved a winger through the air and rays of black light surrounded the opening in the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise.
As he summoned spells, he continued to communicate with Catastrophe. With his hands, he was able to cause the black light to turn into an air of death in the shape of a fog and fill up the hole in the Shen Heaven Holy Paradise. Then, it enveloped him. From afar, it looked like an oval egg.
This was a powerful protective spell that the Emperor of the Dead came up within the Netherworld Sea. It was known as the Protective Boundary of the Netherworld Sea.
Those who cultivated the Emperor of the Dead Mantra normally needed three people to successfully pull it off. With the Emperor of the Dead, he was able to do it alone. Using this, he cast another layer of protection over Yan Xinghe, obstructing Xiao Yan even more.
