Chapter 1607: Remain Here, All Of You
The voice belonged to none other than Xiang Shaoyun. He had only been planning to sit quietly while keeping watch for the three who were deep in meditation. However, he had successfully liquified his energy to form genuine God Realm energy. Everything had progressed smoothly, and he was able to take that step forward without any difficulty.
His strong foundations played a great role in his smooth breakthrough. Anyone else would have had a much harder time taking that step. Right after he formed his third strand of God Realm energy, he was startled by Devouring Ghost and Huang Feng's battle. He couldn't continue and could only remain as a third-stage pseudo-God for now.
Anyone would be angered after being disturbed during a breakthrough, especially a breakthrough leading to immortality. Fury filled Xiang Shaoyun's heart, and when he saw Devouring Ghost injured and poisoned, he became even more furious.
Naturally, he attracted all the Celestial Alliance's gazes the moment he appeared. A layer of God Realm energy swirled around him, causing his god body to shine brilliantly, giving him a valiant and regal appearance.
That was a temperament unique to him, and the women in the Celestial Alliance group widened their eyes in adoration. Li An, Zhuang Yifan, and Lu Shenchuan had a look of loathing. Nobody would be happy when an enemy stole all their limelight.
"Xiang Shaoyun, don't think that you can look down on the Celestial Alliance just because you're slightly capable. I can crush you to death as easily as crushing a bug," berated Lu Shenzhou with his finger pointed at Xiang Shaoyun.
He had experienced countless battles before winning the glory to be a celestial child. He was not far away from the Rebirth Realm, and he did not fear Xiang Shaoyun.
Xiang Shaoyun ignored Lu Shenzhou and looked at Devouring Ghost as he asked, "How are you?"
"This little poison can't kill me," said Devouring Ghost unyieldingly despite the pained look on his face.
"Stop pretending you're fine," said Xiang Shaoyun as he handed over a drop of primal chaos lightning liquid to Devouring Ghost.
The primal chaos lightning liquid was a top-tier god-grade liquid. It contained the power of extreme yang and was the bane of all poison. Devouring Ghost did not stand on ceremony and directly swallowed the liquid.
Only then did Xiang Shaoyun look at the group from the Celestial Alliance. "Now, it's time for us to settle our score."
"Haha, with what? You?" asked Lu Shenchuan as he howled with laughter.
"Yes, what's the problem with that?" said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as he released the Imperial Nether Domain and covered all the Celestial Alliance members in it.
None of them had expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually attack the entire group all at once.
Li An raised his brow, and his face fell. He shouted, "An ability of the Imperial Nether Clan! Retreat, everyone!"
His reminder came too late. In fact, not even he escaped the Imperial Nether Domain in time. After all, the Imperial Nether Domain could be willed into existence by Xiang Shaoyun. It could cover a large area in the blink of an eye. Only if someone was fully prepared for it would someone stand a chance at escaping the Imperial Nether Domain when it was being released.
In the past, Xiang Shaoyun would never easily use his Imperial Nether Domain. But he was angered by Devouring Ghost's injuries and decided to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, all of them would think that he could be easily bullied.
All the people from the Celestial Alliance panicked.
"Why am I being suppressed so badly?"
"What power is this? I can't even move! Piss off!"
"Imperial Nether Clan's Imperial Nether Domain. It is said that this domain can suppress one's combat strength. Looks like the rumors are true. We need to work together to break free of this domain."
"Is he trying to face all of us by himself? He's courting death!"
...
The Celestial Alliance members started shouting one after another as they tried to break free of the Imperial Nether Domain's suppression.
"It's pointless. Remain here, all of you," said Xiang Shaoyun coldly as countless chains shot out and bound the Celestial Alliance members. No matter how they struggled, they couldn't stop the chains.
"Clear sky steel energy!" with a roar, Li An's body flickered with a green light as boundless strength surged through his body and shattered the chains around him. He regained a considerable amount of his strength, allowing him to escape the chains.
Both Zhuang Yifan and Lu Shenchuan also displayed their trump cards before they could barely resist the domain. However, escaping the domain was easier said than done.
A pseudo-God who specialized in lightning shouted, "So what if you have the Imperial Nether Domain? I'll destroy the entire domain!"
The pseudo-God gathered a large amount of lightning energy and formed a massive lightning ball. He aimed to destroy both the domain and Xiang Shaoyun's soul with the lightning ball.
Unfortunately, before he could fully unleash his energy, countless attacks rained down on him. Those attacks were formed of soul power, and they formed countless fists that struck the pseudo-God. The pseudo-God was distracted, allowing the chains to wound around his body. With the chains around him, there did not seem to be a way out for him.
As someone who cultivated nine powers, Xiang Shaoyun had a certain degree of immunity toward powers of extreme yang, such as lightning. Thus, his opponent wouldn't be able to easily harm him with lightning.
"Xiang Shaoyun, you better release us, or I'll tear your Imperial Nether Domain apart!" threatened Li An as a green sword appeared in his hand. The god-grade sword emanated a powerful aura. It was evidently not just a regular god-grade sword.
It was the Clear Sky Divine Sword, a mid-tier god-grade sword. With Li An's strength, he could kill a regular God with this sword in hand.
"Are you even qualified to talk terms with me?" asked Xiang Shaoyun coldly.
"We'll see," said Li An with a sharp gaze as he swung his sword at the border of the Imperial Nether Domain.
The sword flew out and unleashed a domineering green ray. The attack's might definitely couldn't be underestimated. Zhuang Yifan and Lu Shenchuan also made their moves. They took out their god-grade weapons and worked alongside Li An to destroy the domain.
"Looks like you won't know fear until you're taught a lesson," said Xiang Shaoyun as a nine-colored lotus soul foundation appeared and crushed down on them.
Three strands of thick energy surged out of the lotus and slammed into the three god-grade weapons.
Clank!
The nine-colored lotus soul foundation was forged with primal divine stones as its foundation. It was also branded with Xiang Shaoyun's three lifetimes' worth of power, making it even more powerful. Furthermore, the domain was basically its home ground, allowing it to send the three weapons crashing into the ground.
